Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 352 The Amazing Old Man
After making a sound to keep everyone at bay, the gloomy voice suddenly disappeared again, without making any sound.

What followed were endless streams of barbed-shaped golden arcs that came from all directions.

For a moment, Bai Shi and the others were surrounded by golden arcs.

It can be seen that no matter what the reason for coming here, the horn people guarding here do not intend to let anyone get in.

Bai Shi chuckled.

Although there are many golden arcs, they are just the basic prayers of Tower Town.

It was a bit ridiculous to try to deal with him with such basic prayers.

Bai Shi casually called out a gust of wind, which easily shattered all the golden arcs that were rapidly shooting towards him from the sky.

At the same time, the strong wind continued to expand, sweeping into a raging tornado that penetrated the sky and the ground, spreading into the distance.

With the blessing of the furious beast, the tornado immediately roared and dispersed the fog.

As the fog covering the valley bottom was swept away, all the figures hidden in the fog suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

Several figures of various shapes, heights, weights and bodies appeared among the mountains and forests dotted with tombstones.

However, among these people, only one skinny and slender figure was real, and the rest were all spirits, supporting the skinny horned man.

Just now, the spirits were hiding in the fog, releasing golden arcs from all directions.

Bai Shi was quite surprised to see the skinny old man with horns.

It turned out to be a living horn man?
These days, there are more and more dead Horned People and Shadow Horned People, but there are really few living Horned People.

Apart from the horned man who was one of Michaela's followers, the rest were the horned warriors and the horned old woman.

Bai Shi looked closely and saw that the horned man was covered in a thick yellow robe. Even his face was covered by the hanging yellow cloth, revealing nothing.

On the top of his head grew an extremely large mixed horn shaped like a moose horn.

——That is the result of several horns growing together, twisting and entwining.

Even on his shoulders, there grew a bunch of spirally twisted horns, piercing out of his robe.

The Horned People worship their horns and take them as an honor.

The guy in front of him has so many horns, he is definitely not ordinary.

The fact was indeed as Bai Shi had guessed, the guy in front of him had an extraordinary origin.

'Torturer' Yori - the top among many torturers, the answer to Tower Town.

However, at this moment, this experienced old torturer looked very embarrassed.

The torturer's robe, which was once luxurious, had become tattered over the years and was entangled around his body like a rag.

Yori stuck the dazzling golden barbed spear into the ground with both hands, and he was able to barely maintain his body in the storm.

At this moment, Yori, the 'torturer', was also filled with disbelief.

Ever since the fog was dispelled, Yori immediately felt the power of the divine beast in Bai Shi.

There is no doubt that this powerful storm force is tainted with the breath of the divine beast!
However, after a brief moment of confusion, the 'torturer' Yori immediately recognized that the white consciousness was not the brave man.

There was nothing wrong with his eyesight, and he could tell Bai Shi's identity at a glance.

Only someone like the old horned woman, who can only distinguish things by their breath, would be deceived by the breath of the divine beast.

Since he is not a brave man and has the aura of a divine beast on him, he can only be a predator.

He must have stolen the amulet of the dancing lion, the mythical beast in Tower Town, to gain such power. What a despicable thief.

Yori gritted his teeth and glared at Bai Shi.

Originally, trespassing into the forbidden area was a capital crime, but now there is another reason.

In his heart, he was already prepared to treat Bai Shi as an object of torture, intending to please the gods with his screams of pain.

It just so happens that torture can be considered as a pastime during the long wait.
-
Among the Horned People, there is a special position, that is, the torturer.

Different from torturers in the ordinary civilized sense, the Horned People's torturers are not just ordinary interrogators.

The Horned People civilization is a bloody and cruel civilization, but it is also extremely religious.

Torture is also one of the sacrificial rituals used by the Horned People to worship God.

Because of this, torturers in the Horned Civilization often possess great power, hold high positions, and can be considered messengers of God.

Among them, experienced torturers had an extremely high status, just like the senators of ancient Rome.

Yori is the most shocking old man among them, and is called a monster by his colleagues.

At the same time, there are tasks that only he can accomplish.

For example, the reason why Yori appears here:
Seal Midra who has touched the insanity, clean up the mansion, and seal the valley bottom.

Countless years ago, Yori, who was called a monster by the torturers, led his troops into the valley burned by the insane fire.

Although some cost was paid, the mission was completed unexpectedly smoothly.

There was almost no decent resistance. In the valley that was completely burned by the mad fire, Midra was reasonably stabbed with the sword of eternal punishment.

The subsequent finishing work also went extremely smoothly, and this place was completely blocked off as a forbidden area that no one could enter.

The golden barbs, as instruments of torture, are also the best means of blocking the power of criminals.

In order to prevent the leakage of the power of the insane fire and to prevent the sinners from escaping, Yori used golden curved barbs to cover the bottom of the valley and constructed a huge ritual.

This ritual completely transformed the valley floor into an anti-teleportation forbidden zone.

Whether you want to enter or leave, once you use teleportation, the destination will be set here.

Those with ulterior motives had no choice but to face the interrogators here.

As long as he waits for his successor, Yori can return to the 'Spiral Tower' Enil Ilium.

But for some reason, no one came to take over.

Yori had no choice but to wait here until all the men he brought with him died one by one.
-
Bai Shi recalled that the horned man in front of them stopped them from entering the valley and preventing them from getting close to the Mad Fire King.

I remembered what Liliana said about the strange sealed state of the Mad Fire King.

So Bai Shi immediately guessed that the previous transmission failure was also related to him.

Thinking of this, Bai Shi asked the man on the opposite side:
"You are the one who sealed the Mad Fire King?"

Yori sneered and replied indifferently:
"I don't have to answer you."

"Anyone who enters the forbidden area must die."

"You can be my sacrifice to God with gratitude."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved the big golden cane in his hand.

The golden barb at the front of the cane, symbolizing torture, constantly emits golden arcs.

The golden arcs he shot out were extremely fast and were completely different from the arcs in the fog just now.

At the same time, the two torturer crone souls holding barbed candlesticks also raised their candlesticks and performed the tower's spell.

One of them is responsible for restoring health, and the other will increase the attack power of the interrogators present.

The continuous offensive suddenly shot towards Bai Shi and others like a storm.

A huge horn man who looked like Bo Gang directly pushed forward with his belly, using the meat and ball impact.

It was a pity that the impact of his meat and balls, along with his big stomach, was kicked into pieces by Melina.

Not only were the attacks numerous, but the power of those unleashed by Yori was also immense.

Even though this is only the lowest level golden arc, the power it contains is much stronger than the attacks of the horn warriors.

With the blessing of the natives of the Shadow Tree, these attacks are powerful enough to cause damage to the demigod.

Of course, the other party's physical fragility is also obvious.

Bai Shi waved his hand, and a storm surrounded Melina, Irena and others.

The golden arcs shattered one after another on the storm's barrier, breaking into tiny fragments.

Melina looked towards Bai Shi, seeming eager to try.

However, Bai Shi shook his head.

"Leave him to me."

Living horn men were not common, and he just happened to have some moves he wanted to try out. Bai Shi was a little bored by the old man's moves.

These attacks were no different from drizzle to him, but when there were too many of them, the special effects looked like light pollution.

I thought that they might have sealed the King of Madness Fire, and wanted to ask him something.

But when I asked him questions, he didn't answer and just sat there immersed in his own world.

It seems that he was in a high position in the past, but now he can't even recognize the difference in strength. It's really sad.

If that's the case, then he has no value at all.

That's perfect, let's use him to try out new moves.

This is a new move that was developed from the treatment of rare people a few days ago, and it is specifically used to deal with horn people.

Bai Shi pointed his palm towards the old man who was interrogating him, and a deep purple magic power gathered at a slow but hard to ignore speed.

"I have studied you..."

"Life form disintegration ray!"

As the ominous purple light continued to light up, Yori felt something was wrong.

My whole body was trembling, as if every cell in my body was filled with fear.

The biological instinct was reminding him that this was extremely dangerous and he must not accept the attack!

The next moment, purple rays came through and shot straight towards where Yori was.

The rays penetrated the tombstone, completely destroying one corner of it and leaving a tiny crack.

Yori, who had just used the tower's secret technique to teleport away and barely avoided the attack, looked at the broken corner of the tombstone and suddenly wanted to laugh.

That's it? After all that bluffing, that's it?

How come the noise is so loud but the power is so small that it can't even smash a tombstone?

If I had known this, I would not have used the tower's secret technique. It consumes a lot of magic power and cannot be released again quickly.

Yori shook his head.

It seems that we haven't fought for too long, so we are making a fuss out of nothing.

This seems to be a deterrent move specifically targeting the soul, used to connect with other means of attack.

At this time, Melina had already killed the spirits of the torturers one by one.

Looking around the battlefield, Yori felt a little annoyed.

I was tricked into teleporting by a feint attack just now. That’s not good. I must be careful next time.

Although his attack missed, Bai Shi was not discouraged at all.

As a new move, it is indeed not perfect. For example, the speed is not fast enough and even the elderly can dodge it.

However, he can make countless mistakes, but the opponent cannot make even one mistake.

And who said that only one ray can be emitted at a time?

Bai Shi opened his arms, and groups of deep purple gravity balls appeared in front of him, accumulating destructive rays.

The next moment, dense rays intertwined with each other, like a woven bird, covering Yori.

This time, Yori could no longer use teleportation and had to rely on his body movements to dodge.

Amidst the dense laser beams, Yori displayed a dexterity that was inconsistent with his body shape.

While moving around, he even had time to fight back.

A wide golden arc swept through countless rays, clearing out a large area of space.

Although he was still agile and dodged most of the rays, Yori was still hit on the thigh by a ray.

Feeling the faint pain in his leg, Yori shrugged it off.

With such power, it would be better to continue using the storm.

With the help of the divine beast's power, the storm was able to at least block his attack.

It’s just that mortals are destined to be unable to master the power of divine beasts.

Yori guessed that the reason he didn't use the storm to attack was probably because he couldn't really control it.

But soon, Yori could no longer maintain his calmness.

Because Yori suddenly couldn't feel his thighs.

Yori looked down and found that half of his thigh had been separated from him without him knowing when.

His feet suddenly felt empty and Yori fell to the ground, barely supporting himself with his cane.

At this moment, the life form disintegration ray truly showed its fangs to him.

The part that was hit kept collapsing in front of his eyes, turning into dust bit by bit, and he didn't even feel the pain.

During his long career of torture, Yori had never encountered such an abnormal thing and screamed in fear.

Bai Shi curled his lips.

"Calling? Calling also counts time."

In an instant, several destructive rays of light enveloped him.

When the light faded, Yori's lower body had disappeared, falling apart and completely turning into dust.

The destructive power remaining in his body continued to spread, deconstructing his body bit by bit.

The once most powerful torturer could only helplessly watch his body crumble.

Seeing Bai Shi approaching step by step, Yori trembled and pointed his cane at him again, but was swung away.

Through the cloth on his face, Yori glared at Bai Shi fiercely and shouted:

"No matter what you plan to do, entering the forbidden area and attacking the torturer is a capital crime!"

"The torturers will come to avenge me!"

"Enil Elim will not let you go!"

"When the time comes, I will make you realize the wrath of the Horned Man!"

Bai Shi gave him a strange look, and suddenly felt that he was somewhat pathetic:
"It seems like you don't know anything about what's going on outside."

"How pitiful! They didn't even know the Horned People were about to be slaughtered."

"Even your Enil Ilium has been sealed away by someone else."

"You have escaped by chance by staying in a place like this where you cannot be found. Now go down and reunite with your compatriots."

A look of despair finally appeared on Yori's face covered by the cloth.

"What……"

Bai Shi didn't give him the chance to say his last words, and shot out another ray of life-disintegration.

This time Yori's entire body was irradiated solidly and disintegrated immediately.

Such an amazing old man, died in such an amazing way.

Looking at the pool of inorganic matter under his feet, Bai Shi shook his head.

If he had taken action during the holy war, wouldn't there have been so many problems?
Some people might call this practice of completely wiping out a race of people, leaving only inorganic matter, an evil war crime.

But the common sense calls it efficient.

Liliana flew to Bai Shi and asked:

"Want to teleport?"

"After he died, it seemed that the forces restricting teleportation disappeared as well."

Bai Shi thought about it and shook his head.

"There are still some crazy fire creatures ahead, let's clean them up along the way."

"It was indeed necessary for them to seal off this place before. It would not be good if those things got out."

　It is not the player who was called a monster by Western masters two years ago.
