Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 162 Black Knife Assassin
There is also an open coffin in this cave.

Bai Shi found a pool of ashes inside.

Next to the ashes there is a pyroxene stone shield of the Double Sage Magician, which should be what the ashes belonged to when he was alive.

After using the wizard's hood to hold his own ashes, Bai Shi left him here temporarily and would come back to take him with him after exploring the cemetery.

From now on, put this guy together with the battlefield magician Yog.

They are both magicians, and both use their own hoods to hold ashes, so they will probably get along well.

On the tree root that was fused with countless corpses, Bai Shi also found a dead root surrounded by black death thorns.

This dead root is quite large, two circles larger than the dead root left behind after the death of Tibia's Summoning Ship.

Ordinary dead roots are about the size of an apple, but this dead root is the size of a grapefruit.

The eyes of the deceased have grown a lot along the roots of the tree, and black spots and thorns are all over the roots. It seems that this dead root has been here for a long time.

Bai Shi used a mantis arm knife to cut off the dead root.

Then he used the Holy Law to completely seal the dead roots.

Bai Shi also left the dead root where it was, waiting to come back and take it away after completing the exploration.

Bai Shi walked out of the cave along the original route and went down along another road in front.

The strange thing is that even though the dead roots have been sealed, dead borns still keep standing up in the cemetery.

This was different from any situation Bai Shi had encountered before.

Bai Shi thought about it and felt that it might be because the dead borns he had encountered before were all summoned by Tibia's summoning ship, so they disappeared together after the summoning ship was destroyed.

But it doesn’t seem quite right to say this.

The dead-born rely on the breath of death to maintain their activities. Without the support of the breath of death, they will immediately collapse into dry bones.

But the dead roots were sealed, and the breath of death no longer emanated, so it was impossible for them to still be active.

Moreover, after Bai Shi used the Holy Law of Correcting Death, although these undead creatures would be hurt, they would be able to get up again.

They even held the knives above their heads, driving them towards Bai Shi like helicopter rotors, with a very funny movement.

As soon as Bai Shi slightly turned his body, they crashed into the wall.

Bai Shi suddenly noticed that there were zombies of residents in the cemetery holding spiritual fire candlesticks.

Candlesticks are common sentry equipment at border areas and are often used when standing guard.

But it seemed that this was the first time I had seen a spiritual fire candlestick stick, and the spiritual fire on it seemed a little different.

In order to confirm his guess, Bai Shi summoned a storm to extinguish all other spiritual fires nearby, and even the starlight above his head was cut off from the magic power that maintained it.

Now, the only light left in the dark cemetery was the light of the spiritual fire candlestick.

While smashing the Deathborn, Bai Shi approached and walked into the range of the spiritual fire.

Sure enough, the spiritual fire in his hand was indeed different.

Under the illumination of this spiritual fire, Bai Shi had a feeling of coming to another world.

This seems to be an ancient law of power that protects death.

It is probably because of this spiritual fire that the dead are able to retain the aura of death on their bodies.

And it even nullifies the purifying effect of the Holy Law on the dead.

Holy Law now only deals normal damage to them and does not purify the Death Breath.

Because in this realm, death is no longer wrong and the Holy Law has no right to modify it.

This is probably the power of the ancient death god that the death ritual birds serve.

Baizhi released starlight again, illuminating the venue once again.

After extinguishing the spirit fire candlesticks held by the zombie residents, the dead were once again affected by the loss of their death roots and collapsed to the ground.

Next, it would be much easier for Bai Shi to deal with the dead borns. As long as he extinguished the spiritual fire, he could clear an area.

At a corner of the cemetery, Bai Shi found a room sealed by a little devil statue, which required a stone sword key to open.

Bai Shi generously inserted a stone sword key on it.

There is a large inventory of stone sword keys in Stonewell's warehouse, so there is no need to be stingy.

Once it was opened, the several undead inside were affected by the loss of their dead roots, and their bones fell apart, which saved Bai Shi the trouble of dealing with them.

There is a Rozes's Axe in this room.

Luo Zesi is the 'Guide of Death' and has a special status.

But this axe doesn't seem to be very useful.

Bai Shi put it away and keep it as a collection for later.

The cemetery was not big, and Bai Shi soon reached the end of it.

This is a fairly large room, even larger than the cave in the previous boss room.

In this room, there are three huge switch mechanisms that are constantly operating.

The heavy gate blade was slowly pulled up, then fell freely at the top and crashed down heavily.

The dull sound of the blade leaving no doubt about its power. Even a dragon could be easily beheaded by the blade.

Here, there are also a large number of Deathborn archers.

I guess no matter what you want to do, they will hinder it.

Bai Shi first created a storm, blowing out all the spiritual fire candlesticks here.

Without the illumination of the spiritual fire, the breath of death left these skeletons and turned into scattered white bones on the ground again.

Without any interference, Bai Shi began to observe the huge gate knife that was constantly rising and falling due to the operation of the mechanism.

If Bai Shi remembers correctly, you can go up to the second floor from this side by using the back of the gate knife.

Then you just need to open a hidden wall to find the black knife assassin hiding there.

Bai Shi observed the room and found the passage to the second floor between the second and third gates.

Bai Shi stood at the bottom of the passage, with no intention of using the back of the gate knife.

Gathering the storm on his body, and with his own physical fitness, he jumped directly to the second floor with one jump.

It was a passage with statues of the Guishu guard dogs neatly lined up on both sides.

After coming up, Bai Shi shook his head.

He laughed at the black knife assassin's lack of wisdom.

Since hidden walls have already been set up, why not add a hidden wall at the entrance of this passage?

As long as it is set up like this, her hiding place will never be discovered.

The second floor is an L-shaped structure with a small space and only a few dead birthdays.

Bai Shi solved the spiritual fire on the way and reached the end unhindered.

Here is a wall and it seems there is no way out.

But Bai Shi knew that this was the location of the hidden wall.

Bai Shi thought about it and decided not to release a shining sword circle formation first.

There is no need to fight if you can communicate.

Releasing the Shining Sword Circle Formation is like bringing a gun to the negotiation table; the other party will not think that you are there to negotiate.

Bai Shi knocked the mantis arm knife in his hand against the wall, and the illusory wall was instantly broken, and a small room appeared in front of him.

In the room, the black knife assassin who was resting with his back against the wall raised his head blankly and met Bai Shi's eyes.

Melina, who was beside Bai Shi, was also stunned when she saw the black knife assassin.

Bai Shi looked at her and was about to say something when the black knife assassin jumped up from the ground.

The black knife assassin lowered his body and ran towards Bai Shi, almost flying close to the ground.

The black knife in her hand did not have the red destiny of death attached to it, perhaps because she did not want to be exposed.

The tip of the black knife pointed directly at Bai Shi's chest and stabbed forward.

"Wait, I'm not your enemy!"

Bai Shi still wanted to communicate, but the black knife assassin had no intention of stopping.

Bai Shi raised his mantis arm knife and accurately blocked the black knife that was thrusting towards him.

However, the black knife assassin actually used the weapons that collided between the two as a fulcrum and flew over Bai Shi. Bai Shi immediately turned around to guard against possible attacks from behind.

But when Bai Shi turned around, he saw the back of the black knife assassin running away without any hesitation.

Bai Shi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Aren't they fighting?

Bai Shi realized that he couldn't let her get away, so he quickly chased after her.

While running, Bai Shi did not forget to speak:
"Wait, don't run!"

"I didn't mean to hurt you!"

The black knife assassin didn't even look back and just ran forward.

She didn't believe this guy was a good person.

There wouldn't be many people coming to such a remote cemetery, let alone the second floor with hidden walls.

This guy has good equipment and skills, he must be an experienced tomb robber.

If she wanted to defeat this kind of opponent, it would be impossible for her to do it quickly as she was injured.

She didn't have time to get involved with him now, and it would be bad if he had accomplices.

After we leave the cemetery, we will ambush him at the door and kill him.

Since the night of the conspiracy, they must hide carefully and not let any clues leak out.

And they can't even die.

There is information on the bodies, especially the black knives in their hands.

The traces of the ritual that once infused the rune of death cannot be erased no matter what.

No matter what, they must stay alive and keep the truth of that cold and dark night hidden.

As long as she escapes and kills the tomb robber behind her, she can find another place to hide.

But the footsteps behind me were getting closer and closer, and so was the noisy sound.

You're still chattering on and on about how he has no hostility towards you. If he has no hostility towards you, then stop chasing him!

Bai Shi was very fast and after a short chase he was already quite close to the black knife assassin.

Seeing the right opportunity, Bai Shi reached out and grabbed the black knife assassin's arm.

But the black knife assassin nimbly climbed up the wall and turned around quickly in the air.

The hand that was being held grabbed Bai Shi's wrist and pulled her body towards Bai Shi. The black knife in his hand took the opportunity to stab Bai Shi's neck.

The terrifying murderous intent locked onto Bai Shi, causing him to feel a chill on his neck.

But Bai Shi was not stabbed by her after all.

Bai Shi didn't care about being gentle with her. He grabbed the black knife assassin's arm and threw her against the wall like a hammer.

The black knife assassin had nowhere to gain leverage in the air and realized that he could no longer harm Bai Shi, so he had to give up the attack temporarily.

If I were to be casually grabbed by the hand and thrown against the wall, I'm afraid my hand would be torn off my body.

She shortened the distance between herself and Bai Shi as much as possible, clamped her legs around Bai Shi's torso to stabilize her body, and curled up her body to reduce damage.

Bai Shi had no time to feel the touch of the black knife assassin's soft body. He threw her against the wall mercilessly. How could he be distracted by such a trivial matter when it was a life-and-death fight?

The black knife assassin's back was smashed hard against the wall, leaving several cracks on the wall, and he also lost control of Bai Shi's body.

This kind of injury is not a big deal. The wall is too fragile compared to the flesh.

But she was injured now. Although she used methods to protect herself to reduce the damage, she was still hit and vomited blood.

The hands that were holding on and the legs that were clamped on the body all loosened.

She jumped up from the ground and took several steps backwards to create some distance.

Originally, she was in a position where she could have stabbed the black knife into Bai Shi's arm immediately after the attack.

Or maybe he would use his legs to clamp his torso and move forward to stab Bai Shi's neck.

But since the opportunity was not seized, there is nothing we can do.

She took a look and saw that because of the previous attack, the two people's positions had been reversed.

White consciousness blocked the way to the exit.

Now, it seemed that she had only one solution.

Red and black flames lit up on the black knife.

She must get rid of Bai Shi now.

Bai Shi frowned, it seemed that this black knife assassin was serious about his move.

Since she doesn't listen, I have to beat her until she listens.

I don't know if I can finish her off without her dying.

But it looks like she was injured, and it might be serious, so there should be a chance.

Bai Shi took out the two mantis arm knives and observed the next move of the black knife assassin.

But the figure of the black knife assassin disappeared right before his eyes.

However, the bones piled on the ground now helped Bai Shi.

There were too many corpses on the ground, and no matter how careful she was, she would bump into them when she ran.

Bai Shi raised his foot and stepped forward heavily.

The tiles were flipped over by the magic, forcing the black knife assassin into position.

At the same time, the storm blew forward, helping Bai Shi to find her location.

However, the black knife assassin seemed to have disappeared. There was no collision when she landed, and the storm did not sweep her.

The red and black sword energy shot towards Bai Shi out of thin air.

Bai Shi looked in the direction of the attack and saw that it was the ceiling.

He jumped sideways and barely avoided the fatal attack.

But the second and third ones followed closely.

This was not a solution, so Bai Shi released all the remaining magic power in his body.

Can't find it? No problem.

A storm that covers the entire room doesn't need to find a location at all.

Hopefully she can survive this blow.

If he survives, Bai Shi can revive him with the Holy Grail Bottle.

If she died, there would be nothing I could do but take her black knife and the black knife mark with me.

Although I hope to catch him alive, now is not the time to show mercy.

The violent storm swept through the entire room and passage, and then the storm began to converge inward, eating away at the space bit by bit.

The storm shattered the bones and the walls were peeled away bit by bit, revealing the rocks of the lower mountain.

Bai Shi did not dare to be careless and immediately drank a bottle of blue dew drop from the Holy Grail bottle.

The magic power gradually filled up, so he maintained the previous storm while putting another storm on the outside.

In just a few seconds, blood mist began to appear in the inner storm.

In the storm, the Black Blade Assassin cannot use the Death of Destiny.

As long as she dared to use it, the storm would definitely burn her first before the destined death penetrated the storm.

Bai Shi watched silently, and when the struggle became very weak, the storm continued for a few more seconds before stopping.

In the middle of the room, the black knife assassin had been blown to pieces by the storm and was lying on the ground.

The cloth on his body was almost torn to pieces, and the metal armor was also tattered, barely covering his body.

Bai Shi didn't rush to approach, and his lying posture might be a disguise while waiting for a counterattack.

Time passed little by little, and Bai Shi finally walked over.

Bai Shi could not be sure that the black knife assassin had lost his ability to resist.

But he felt that if he didn't rescue her, she might really die.
