Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 190 Battle Festival II (8k)

Gravity and storms drove away the surrounding warriors, allowing Bai Shi and Latan to display their skills to their full potential.

Latan swung his two swords upwards and pushed back the white consciousness that was slashing down from the air with swords and spears.

Gravity balls appeared one by one beside Latan, locking onto the white consciousness in the air.

The gravity balls in the sky that were once used to shatter stars were a recognition of Bai Shi’s power.

Countless gravity balls attacked Bai Shi one after another, forming a deep purple galaxy in the sky.

Latan's speed is not slow, but his awareness is faster.

Bai Shi thrust his sword and spear into the sky, launching a lightning strike.

Thunder and lightning roared, and unprecedentedly powerful thunder wrapped around the sword and spear, like solid golden lightning.

The lightning of the Lightning Slash is different from the lightning on the Dragon Hunting Sword and Spear, and will cancel out the black flames.

Therefore, Bai Shi did not use the black flame this time, but simply threw out the sword and spear that was a combination of wind and thunder.

Then he immediately used the storm to propel himself down and avoided the subsequent gravity balls.

The dragon-hunting sword and spear whizzed through the fiery red sky of Gaileed, and the light even stung the eyes of the surrounding warriors.

This shot is more like the scorching sun than lightning.

The sword and spear penetrated Latan's right chest from top to bottom, and then came out from his left waist, piercing his flesh.

After landing, Bai Shi used the acceleration of the storm to rush to Latan's side at the speed of teleportation.

Several gravity balls hit Bai Shi. However, after its size was enlarged, the gravitational force of one or two gravity balls could no longer stop Bai Shi.

Holding the handle of the sword and spear tightly to expose Latan's body, Bai Shi continued to run wildly, not caring about being hit in the waist and abdomen by Latan's right sword.

Bai Shi used the sword blade as a gate knife. As he and Latan passed each other, the sword and spear tore Latan's collarbone, shoulder and back apart.

Now only the front half of Latan's body is supporting his body, and his abdominal cavity can be clearly seen through the wound.

But it’s not over yet, stop, turn around, and spin around.

Bai Shi's sword and spear accurately cut through the horrific wound just left, and cut off the reconnected spine again.

Suffering such an injury, Latan couldn't help but roar in pain.

Bai Shi did not pursue him again, but quickly drank two bottles of Red Holy Grail Dew Drops to recover from the wound he had just suffered from Latan.

Latan's Star Crusher Sword is not only heavy, but also extremely sharp. Bai Shi guessed that it must have been strengthened to +9.

Latan's counterattack almost cut him in half.

If he hadn't adjusted his posture and avoided the heart, Bai Shi would have almost died here.

But open wounds must be treated immediately, otherwise it will be very troublesome.

Latan reconnected his spine and shoulders, and without caring about his other injuries that had not yet recovered, he swung his swords and attacked Bai Shi again.

Bai Shi laughed out loud, it was so refreshing!

Although it is dangerous and tense, it is like dancing on the edge of a knife.

But that’s how it has to feel, isn’t it?
Bai Shi picked up his sword and spear and fought closely with Latan.

The sword and spear stabbed left and right, leaving bloody holes on Latan's body.

Latan also wielded his two swords, blocking the White Consciousness's attack while counterattacking.

Even with his mind shattered, Latan's combat skills were unmatched.

Bai Shi swept his sword and spear, but was deflected to one side by the sword flower swung by Latan's left hand.

This directly caused Bai Shi to lose balance briefly.

Bai Shi was shocked. This was clearly a blocking posture for blocking a dagger, but it was actually used by Latan with the Star-Breaking Greatsword.

But now is not the time to be surprised, as this slight imbalance can be quite fatal in a battle.

Latan's other Star-Breaking Sword was already slashing towards Bai Shi's head.
-
This level of battle is not something that warriors can participate in.

They could only watch from afar the constant fight between Bai Shi and Latan.

Some people tried to get closer and get involved, but they were crushed into pieces by the gravity ball before they could get close.

Blaze was freezing Alexander's wound as the pot was shattered, and was very shocked by Bai Shi's performance.

Blaze was quite familiar with General Latan.

Therefore, he also knew how terrifying General Latan's strength was.

Although the general had lost his mind and could no longer use many of his martial arts and magic, he was still incredibly strong.

Those who are forgotten are not so skilled.

The gravity magic imprinted on his body originally accounted for 80% of the general's combat power.

And Bai Shi could actually be on par with General Ratan in a one-on-one fight... no, it could even be said that he suppressed the general.

If it weren't for the fact that General Ratan's Great Rune's ability was too strong for single combat, the damage caused by Bai Shi would have killed him countless times.

The stars twinkled and returned to the sky, a symbol of the imminent destruction of General Ratan's Great Rune.

General Latan's Great Rune would soon be unable to hold on.

However, no one knows how long General Ratan's Great Rune can be used.

Before the destruction of the Great Rune, General Ratan could make countless mistakes, but as long as he caused a fatal injury to Bai Shi, the situation of the battle would immediately reverse.

Alexander watched Bai Shi and Latan fighting fiercely and couldn't help but pump his fist to cheer them on.

"Ohh! Nice fight!"

“Ah! It hurts so much!”

Looking at Alexander, who was so excited that the ice on his body was shattering, Blaze shook his head.

Just now, Alexander was hit by General Latan's spinning slash, and most of the pot body was cracked.

The body that collided with the sword was directly cut in half, and its contents spilled out onto the ground.

Fortunately, Blaze's royal sword can help him freeze the gap and contents, otherwise it would be terrible.

But fortunately, it is better than being hacked to death on the spot.

After Bernard drank the dew drops to recover from his injuries, he held the weapon in his arms and watched the battle silently.

Behind him, faded figures such as 'Big Horn', 'Ancient Knight', and 'Fearless' secretly watched his back.

They had already recognized Bernal and were each thinking about it.

“Master Bernard has really become a rebel…”

"Is that man, Bernard-sama? He looks familiar, yet there's something strange about him..."

The 'old man' stared at Bai Shi, thinking about how to kill him if he were to face him.

The three members of Michaela's support group stood side by side, with Dan and Freya standing on either side of Leida.

As usual, Dane said nothing, but Leida could see his fiery eyes.

Dane is reluctant to communicate with others, but is obsessed with learning from others.

However, it doesn't cause any problems, and he is still a very reliable partner.

In comparison, Freya is only reliable in combat; everything else is a little too...pure.

Freya watched the battle between General Latan and Bai Shi, and exclaimed from time to time:

"Wow, wow, you can even dodge the general's move!"

"That guy is really strong. It's rare to see him beat a general like this."

"But General Ratan really should be joining a battle like this."

"Endless battle, blazing battle!"

"This is General Ratan, this is the Red Lion!"

Leida did not express any opinion on what Freya said.

Perhaps General Ratan would indeed enjoy endless battles.

Not now, though.

This time, we must take advantage of the battle festival where heroes gather to make General Latan's soul come to the appointment.

Moreover, the purpose of Leida bringing people to participate in the battle festival this time was not just to see General Latan off to his final resting place.

Leida's purpose of this trip was to select someone who could serve Master Michaela together in the future.

In order to fulfill Lady Michaela's goal, she must defeat the 'Blood King' Monger in the future.

However, with her strength, she is not able to do this.

Therefore, she needs to select warriors who are strong and have performed well in the battle festival.

A warrior who could defeat General Latan would surely be able to prove effective against the Blood Lord Monger.

In the two days before the battle festival began, Leida also collected information everywhere.

I learned that the Bai Shi I had seen before was the Storm King who had defeated the demigod and ruled Nimgefu.

Now Bai Shi and General Ratan are also performing extremely well in the battle.

Even now, the Storm King still seems to be at ease.

There is no doubt about his strength.

Leida suddenly spoke up and asked Freya beside her.

"Freya, what do you think, if the Storm King faced General Latan in his prime..."

"What will be the result?"

Freya didn't know why Leida asked this question, but she was immediately attracted by this interesting question.

After thinking about it, she gave her own opinion:
"There is no doubt that the Storm King is very strong."

"I don't know what other tricks he has, but even against a general in his prime, he would be able to get away with it."

"Whether the general is crazy or not, there are not many people who can inflict multiple fatal injuries on the general."

Leida nodded.

Since Freya, who knows General Latan best, has said so... then let's add a little fuel to the fire.

Leida raised her sword with one hand, and the emblem of Mikaela's pure golden tree appeared.

Ten golden needles appeared out of thin air around Latan and penetrated into his body from all directions at an extremely fast speed.

Originally, Leida didn't want to use this trick.

Because this move will undoubtedly have a negative impact on the goal of "defeating General Ratan".

This move is called Piercing Needle, and it is a unique fighting skill of Leida.

Because she has always been by the side of Lady Michaela, Leida has a good understanding of pure gold.

Those golden needles can be regarded as pure golden needles for a certain period of time.

In other words, it can temporarily suppress the scarlet corruption in General Latan's body.

Although the damaged part of the mind cannot be restored, the part that has not been completely damaged can be liberated.

General Latan's sanity was not damaged to the point of being completely gone, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to fight like he is now.

As the golden needle pierced into Latan's body, the pure gold temporarily suppressed the scarlet corruption in an instant.

The erosion of the scarlet corruption on the flesh weakened, allowing the Great Rune to fully function as a battle recovery.

Moreover, the combat level should be able to recover a little.

Leida was already waiting to see what would happen.
-
Latan is in a fierce confrontation with Baishi.

But suddenly, chaotic, almost illogical, and incoherent thoughts emerged in Latan's blank mind.

"In...fighting?"

'who……'

"Marenia, the Ionian War..."

"Mikaela..."

Strange nouns appeared in his mind, but he didn't quite understand what they meant.

However, he suddenly discovered something on Bai Shi's body.

"The Mark of Lani..."

"Is it Blaze... Blaze, who is it?"

'who is he?'

'Great Rune, demigod?'

"The Mark of Lani..."

Because his mind was too weak, Latan inexplicably thought of things that had nothing to do with the present.

"Rani, Lakkad..."

"I couldn't fulfill... my long-cherished wish..."

"Mother...Father..."

But there was no time for further thinking, Bai Shi's sword and spear had already found the moment when he was distracted and pierced his chest.

This also made Latan realize that they were indeed fighting.

So Latan focused all of his remaining mental energy on the battle.

As a warrior, you shouldn't think about anything else while fighting.

Defeating the opponent with all his strength is Latan's greatest respect for the opponent.

Especially for those with Lani's mark on them, you have to hit them hard!
-
After a golden needle appeared out of nowhere and pierced into Latan's body, Bai Shi suddenly discovered that something was wrong with Latan.

Although I don't know what those golden needles are, Bai Shi guessed that they were made by Michaela's men.

Bai Shi clearly felt that Latan's attack had become more fierce.

The dual swords were wielded more smoothly than before, and gradually became more methodical.

"Did you remember your martial arts skills during the battle?"

"Or was it the needle that caused the trouble?"

Latan blocked the sword and spear with one sword, and forced Bai Shi back with another.

Afterwards, for the first time in the battle, Latan took the initiative to distance himself from Bai Shi.

I saw Latan releasing a huge gravity ball on a distant sand dune behind him.

The gravity ball and the purple magic power emerging from Latan's body attracted each other, and in an instant, he was sucked to the location of the gravity ball at a speed far exceeding that of flying using gravity.

The speed is so fast that it is like teleportation. Only a body as strong as Latan can withstand such speed.

Bai Shi did not dare to continue chasing for a moment, not knowing what Latan was going to do.

Then he saw Latan slam the Starbreaker into the ground, with debris constantly clinging to the sword.

It's a rock sword.

A combat technique that adds thick rocks to weapons to increase their weight and inflict damage.

But Ratan's rock sword is more than that.

The rocks continued to climb up with the two swords, and soon covered Latan's entire body. In the previous battle, Latan's armor had been shattered by various attacks.

Although the Great Rune can restore physical damage, it is powerless against damaged equipment.

Reducing the damage taken can allow Big Rune to hold on for a longer period of time.

Bai Shi didn't know the defensive power of this layer of rock armor, but he was sure that it would not be easily broken.

Then, flames began to burn on Latan's rock sword again.

As the leader of the Red Lion Legion, how could Latan not know how to use fire?
It's just that it has not been deeply imprinted into the instinct like gravity magic, so it has never been performed before.

"That's not a bad idea."

“It’s getting interesting.”

Bai Shi raised his right hand, and the Holy Seal of Dragon Feast glowed red.

But what appeared afterwards was a warm golden light, with tiny fragments of golden light flickering on Bai Shi's body.

It is the golden tree that swears an oath.

Latan has been buffed, and as a fader, he can't fall behind.

Bai Shi took out another small bottle and sprinkled the invigorating incense inside into the air.

Originally, Bai Shi wanted to take out the piece of brave meat that Alexander gave him last time and take a bite, but he felt it was a bit inappropriate.

So Bai Shi took out a piece of Atilia leaf, chewed it, and swallowed the bitter juice.

The effects of the three buffs were immediate, Baizhi's blood vessels dilated and his spirits were high.

After applying the buff, Bai Shi charged forward again.

Leonard under Latan's crotch also ran for his life.

As Latan and Leonard moved, the earth rumbled beneath their feet.

Huge rocks rose up from under their feet one after another, the ground shook, and lifted them both several meters up.

In the end, Leonard didn't need to run at all. The huge rocks under his feet carried them forward by themselves, which was like sailing on dry land.

It was like a speeding train, leaving a huge stone wall in its path.

The Faded People and warriors on the road would be smashed to pieces by the rapidly approaching boulder if they could not dodge in time.

When approaching Bai Shi, several rock spikes violently shot out from the front of the huge rock train.

Latan wielded the Star-Breaking Greatsword, and fierce flames spread from the sword to the spikes of the boulder.

Even if there was an entire army in front of him, Latan could easily crush them into mud.

As the strongest gravity mage, he possesses many unimaginable large-scale killing moves.

There were many rock balls gathered around Latan.

Bai Shi did not hide or evade, but jumped up as the storm surrounded him.

Bai Shi used the storm to disperse the flames, placed the dragon hunting sword held in both hands on the protruding rock spikes, and propped up his body in the air.

This push successfully allowed Bai Shi to avoid the boulder, and the height was also sufficient.

Following the rotation of the storm, Bai Zhi turned into a spinning top in the air, and lightning and black flames gathered on the sword and spear again.

After spinning several times, the most violent Lion Slash slashed towards Latan.

The incoming rock balls were instantly shattered when they collided with Baizhi.

Latan used his right sword to block Bai Shi's sword and spear.

The Star-Breaking Greatsword with rocks attached to it had a huge boost in defense, blocking swords and spears like a shield.

The blazing flames from the Star-Breaking Greatsword licked Bai Shi's face, making his eyes glow red.

No...the red eyes were not reflecting the flames, but because they were just like that.

A large number of rocks were knocked off the Star Crusher, but it didn't matter now.

Ratan controlled the gravity balls with his left hand, and densely packed gravity balls attacked Bai Shi's face.

After regaining some of his consciousness, the gravity ball in Latan's hand was not as easy to dodge as before.

Today's gravity balls can even track deftly.

It was a close distance, and there were so many gravity balls that Bai Shi had no way to avoid them and was sucked towards him by Latan.

But Bai Shi had no intention of hiding this time.

A huge dragon head appeared out of nowhere and, with the help of Latan's gravity, bit him.

The giant dragon head bit down on the entire upper half of Latarn's body, and blood oozed from the rock's armor.

Bai Shi stepped on Latan's body, maintaining the dragon head's control over Latan.

Latan tried to use repulsion to escape, but Bai Shi would not give him the chance.

A flash of red light appeared in the dragon head's mouth, and then a fierce flame spewed out.

Dragon bite, followed by dragon breath at zero distance!
Steam immediately gushed out from the cracks in the rocks, and was instantly evaporated by the heat waves of the flames.

Latan briefly lost control of the rock beneath his feet, and the boulder collapsed.

While falling, Bai Shi continued to output magic power, burning Latan with dragon flames.

The sword and spear in his hands were not idle either, stabbing into Latan's heart for the umpteenth time.

I wonder where the limit of Big Rune is?

No matter how many lives are left, we will keep killing until the Great Rune of Latarn collapses!

Although the two swords were swung, they slashed towards Bai Shi's back as if hugging him.

This forced Bai Shi to stop and dodge, but even so, he still had huge cuts on his waist.

Latan's armor was completely shattered, and Bai Shi's armor was not much better.

Half of Latan's body was completely burned, and his whole body looked like charcoal.

The rocks on his body were burned to a brittle state, as if flesh and blood had been melted together, and would break at the slightest touch.

Latan tore the rock armor off his body and summoned the rock again to attach it to his bloody body.

Bai Shi also took the opportunity to drink a bottle of red and blue dew drops to recover.

There are not many Dew Drop Holy Grail bottles left, so we have to be more careful next time.

Bai Shi actually didn't want to use Feng Ling Yue Ying in this battle.

General Ratan is a respectable warrior, and Bai Shi had a lot of fun fighting him.

It might sound a bit arrogant, but Bai Shi sincerely felt that he had a chance to kill Latan without using Wind Spirit Moon Shadow.

This will be his milestone in the borderland, proving his unparalleled power, enough to compete with any demigod.

However, having said that, Bai Shi is already prepared to use Feng Ling Yue Ying at any time.

Although it was indeed a great sense of accomplishment to defeat Latan with his own strength, Bai Shi has always been a person who cherishes his life.

Besides, now he is not just living for himself, Melina is still waiting for him.

His ultimate goal is to defeat all enemies and become the King of Elden.

Therefore, he would never hesitate when it was time to use Wind Spirit Moon Shadow.

Originally, Feng Ling Yue Ying had two attempts left, and one was restored after defeating Loretta Phantom last time.

Three times is more than enough.

This time, Latan did not go forward to engage in close combat with Bai Shi.

Being big doesn't mean being less agile. Latan's agility is not low at all, it's just that Bai Shi's agility is higher than his.

But, he is essentially a gravity mage.

The space around Latan was instantly filled with dark purple gravity balls, which attacked Bai Shi in an overwhelming manner.

However, such an attack was just a feint to delay Bai Shi.

The real killer move is the rock ball gathered in Latan's hand.

In the air, a rock ball of unprecedented size gradually took shape in the distant sky.

The rock ball was so huge that it could even cover the entire Latan underneath with its shadow, and it was still getting bigger.

Soon, the rock ball became so huge that it was frightening.

Seeing the bad situation, the surrounding soldiers all fled away.

Even with General Elatane's mastery of gravity, he needed to use one hand to control and maintain the rock ball. Its power was unimaginable.

Bai Shi dodged the troublesome gravity ball left and right and frowned.

Interrupting Latan now is undoubtedly the most important thing to do.

But there are too many gravity balls, and the accuracy improvement is not a little bit.

Every few seconds a gravity ball will hit you.

Although the damage is not high, the weak control effect accumulates over time, making subsequent gravity balls easier to hit.

So Bai Shi was now dragged in place by Latan's gravity ball and could only watch as Latan gathered the amazing rock ball.

This rock ball, no, it should be said that this is a meteorite.

The moment the huge meteorites gathered, they began to attack Bai Shi at a slow speed.

As it approached, the giant meteorite's speed increased, and its surface began to rub against the air, producing flames.

White consciousness cannot estimate the time of its arrival.

Moreover, this meteorite is really too huge, with a diameter of at least thirty or forty meters.

Even if it is not as terrifying as a meteorite that really came from outer space, it is still incomparable to the previous methods.

If you are hit directly, there will be no trace of the body left.

Even if it is not hit directly, the impact of the falling object can at least affect several kilometers.

The soldiers nearby were able to run away, but Bai Shi, who was controlled in place, did not have enough time.

Since there is no way to hide, the only option is to try to split it in half.

With Latan's current condensation speed, he should not be able to immediately send another meteorite to hit it.

Bai Shi raised his dragon hunting sword high, and the storm stretched out like a pillar, with fine sand flowing along the storm at super high speed.

Whether it is lightning or black flame, they are somewhat powerless when facing inorganic matter such as rocks.

However, based on the inspiration of adding abrasives to the high-pressure water cutting process in the previous life, the fine sand on the site was utilized, combined with Storm, which achieved first-class cutting effects.

Then, there is a chance that this huge meteorite can be split.

The air column on the sword and spear soon collided with the massive meteorite.

The storm was pushed to its limit, slowing down the meteorite while rapidly cutting it.

The fine sand collided with the meteorite, and the effect was quite significant, creating a large area of Mars.

'There's a chance!'

Before the meteorite was completely cut apart, it had already approached Bai Shi.

There was a deep scar on the meteorite, and Bai Shi only needed to use a little more force with his sword and spear to split it.

However, the meteorite was shattered from behind, turning into countless large pieces of rock that flew out in all directions.

Latan's figure emerged from the fragments of the meteorite and stabbed Bai Shi with gravity spin.

Just now, Bai Shi hit him with Dragon Flame close to his face, so he had to return the favor.

Bai Shi was also frightened by Latan's move, and he could no longer dodge at this distance.

He thought that Latan would use this little time to move and attack, but he didn't expect that he would shatter the meteorite that he had worked so hard to condense.

After all, if he took advantage of this time to attack from the side, Bai Shi would have to fight against the meteorite while enduring his attack.

Perhaps this is Latan's insistence as a warrior, to defeat the opponent head-on.

You can use tactics and strategies, but you will never launch a sneak attack.

Because the meteorite shattered, Bai Shi no longer had to waste his energy fighting back and quickly aimed his dragon hunting sword at Latan.

The defensive performance of the Dragon Hunting Sword and Spear is not outstanding and is destined to be unable to withstand such an attack.

So Bai Shi decided to use offense as defense, maintaining the air column that was carrying the fine sand and aiming it at the attacking Latan.

The storm carrying fine sand created a large number of sparks on Latan's stone armor, and blood soon spurted out.

But Latan remained unmoved and continued to maintain the gravity spin, quickly breaking through the air blade part, and the Star-Breaking Greatsword in his hand began to collide with the Dragon Hunting Sword.

The dragon hunting sword and spear held out for a short while, but then quickly, starting from the tip of the sword, it was gradually worn away by Latan's move.

Moreover, the sword and spear were attracted by Latan's gravity and could not be easily pulled away.

Bai Shi gritted his teeth and unleashed a storm on his sword and spear with maximum output.

The storm was spinning in the exact opposite direction to Latan's, significantly slowing him down.

Bai Shi took the opportunity to draw back his sword and spear, the Holy Mark of Dragon Feast lit up, and the dragon claws struck Latan's side.

This time, he finally pushed Latan away with all his strength and had a chance to catch his breath.

"Damn it, Latan should have a +9 Star Crusher in his hand."

"The +18 dragon hunting sword in my hand is too weak to fight against it."

Now nearly 1/3 of the tip of the sword has been worn away, and it is obviously no longer usable.

Without taking the time to mourn the Dragon Hunting Sword and Spear that had accompanied him for so long, Bai Shi immediately threw the sword and spear out again, taking advantage of the gap in Latan's moves to pierce him once more, allowing the Dragon Hunting Sword and Spear to glow and heat up for the last time.

Then Bai Shi quickly took out the relic sword from his space disc.

I didn't expect to have to use this weapon in the end.

Although the Ruin Greatsword is a very large weapon, it is also considered oversized for an extra-large weapon.

But in the hands of Bai Shi, whose body has been enlarged, it is just a one-handed sword.

The size of the Sword of Night and Fire is a flaw. At the same +7, the Relic Greatsword is more useful.

Bai Shi smashed the relic sword to the ground, and the combat skill - "Breaking Wave" appeared.

A fan-shaped collapse wave spread all the way from underground, and purple gravity light shot out from the ground.

Latan pulled out the dragon hunting sword from his abdomen and threw it aside.

With a wave of his arm, countless gravity balls appeared around him.

However, just as Bai Shi was concentrating on dealing with the gravity ball, an unexpected scene occurred.

When the gravity balls passed over the underground collapse waves, they actually collapsed on themselves and disappeared on the spot.

As the collapse wave reached the foot of Shattered Star, a large part of the rock attached to Shattered Star's sword and the stone helmet on his body actually fell off.

Bai Shi carefully confirmed that it was indeed not shattered by the Honkai wave, but fell off Latan naturally.

Gravity has extra damage to gravity. I think there is such a setting in the game?

Or is it simply because of the destruction wave of the Ruins Greatsword?
Regardless, this weapon seems to be more useful in this battle than expected.

Moreover, Bai Shi could sense that Latan's Great Rune would not be able to hold on for much longer.
