Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 354: The Power of Sealing the Mad Fire

After suffering severe damage, the twisted monster with eyeballs on its head twitched and slowly fell to the ground.

Bai Shi casually swung his sword and put away the spotless sword of night and fire.

Do you really think that you can't do anything to him if you hide in another space?

Since the projection still exists in the real world, it is just separated by a thin layer of alien space.

To this extent, the special effect of distorting time and space that comes with the god-killing weapon is enough to tear it apart.

The monster's body gradually melted into the ground, turning into black mud and merging with the soft swamp at the bottom of the valley.

Without the restraint of the body, the head covered with fiery eyes gradually fell apart.

Eyeballs scattered everywhere, like grapes with their branches pulled out, slowly dissolving and spreading the power of the madness to all around.

Among them, a fiery eyeball that was expanding from the inside was particularly conspicuous.

This giant eyeball is the main part of the head of the crazy fire creature.

All the other eyes, big and small, are connected to this huge eyeball by eye stalks.

Bai Shi walked towards the largest eyeball.

As he walked forward, the eyeballs scattered on the ground burst one after another, and sticky juice was crushed out.

Not afraid of those crazy eyes, Bai Shi walked closer and observed carefully.

Although the eyeballs were still affected by the epileptic fire, the effect was minimal due to the death of the host.

The crazy whispers and hallucinations gradually weakened, but never disappeared completely.

Bai Shi discovered that there was a charred finger mark on the swollen eyeball, which became a brand engraved on it that would never disappear.

These finger marks...are proof of having directly endured a three-finger hug.

Bai Shi frowned.

The guys here have had direct contact with Three Fingers.

No wonder it has such terrifying abilities for ordinary creatures.

Then there are traces of three fingers. Could the King of Madness at the bottom of the valley have been ignited by the three-fingered man under the royal city himself?

Bai Shi suddenly felt something strange.

In this case, some things become even more confusing.

In the game, there is a guy who hugs three fingers, but ultimately fails.

The former quasi-king——'Knight of the Round Table' Vic.

He thought that he could use the insane fire to burn the tree and save his witch.

However, because he was wearing armor when he was granted the Mad Fire, his skin was burned by the Mad Fire and in the end he still could not become the King of Mad Fire.

Since the King of Mad Fire was born, why would three fingers touch Vic who was wearing armor?

The three fingers trapped in the seal want to let the power of the devil fire break free from the seal.

Normally, he would have treated it as a life-saving straw and tried every means to make Vic receive the gift of insanity normally. He should not have made such a low-level mistake.

Obviously, Three Fingers could stop the action and wait until Vic knew the request before taking action.

The insane fire can possess corpses, and Xia Bolili has nothing better to do than spread the insane fire in the border areas. It would be easy for Three Finger to tell Vic this news.

What's more, Vic's relevant texts mentioned that he might have been instigated, proving that they had communicated with each other.

Whatever the reason, the three fingers touched the armored Vic, leading to his ultimate defeat.

This really goes against common sense and logic.

Or do the three fingers exist in plural just like the two fingers?
As soon as this idea came into his mind, Bai Shi rejected it himself.

If this is the case, then the seal under the royal city would be useless.

But the fact is, after the Three Fingers were sealed in the royal city, the spread of the insanity fire was indeed suppressed, which is enough to prove the uniqueness of the Three Fingers.

Bai Shi sighed, unable to come up with a conclusion.

The creatures related to the epileptic fire are indeed crazy. No matter what they are, they are making unexpected choices and it is difficult to guess what they are thinking.
-
After dealing with the strange fire creature, the people behind Bai Shi also came closer and observed the corpse.

Seeing the insane eyeballs scattered all over the ground and the power of the insane fire constantly spreading, Melina frowned.

"Is there any way to resolve the effects of epilepsy?"

"If we leave these remaining forces unattended, I'm afraid new creatures will be affected in the future."

Hearing Melina's question, Liliana flapped her wings and raised her head proudly.

"Of course!"

"That's why I brought Irena with me. I've thought of this a long time ago."

"Next, let's witness Irena's power!"

Irena was pushed forward by Liliana, feeling a little unconfident.

After gaining the power, this was the first time he actually used it.

Irena took a deep breath and looked intently at the eyeball on the ground, preparing to use the power of the fairy.

However, when Irena looked closely at the eyeballs on the ground, she suddenly felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart.

For some reason, these terrifying eyeballs looked a bit like ripe, thick and soft grapes in her eyes.

After swallowing her saliva, Irena suddenly reacted and gently covered her mouth with some disgust.

Why did she have such thoughts when she knew it was an eyeball...

Liliana's voice urged Irena in her ear:
"Irena, hurry up!"

"Just do it as I taught you before."

Irena clutched her collar and came back to her senses.

Maybe... I was a little bit affected by the epilepsy just now, which caused me to have such strange thoughts?
Sure enough, one must be extremely cautious when facing epilepsy.

Irena stood in front of the fiery eyeball and spread her palms forward.

His hands were raised to the sky, as if he was holding something.

Spiritual power emerged from her body and gradually gathered in her palm.

Amidst a stream of floating light, a soft, illusory light flowed down from Irena's palm.

The stream of light washed over the insane eyeballs of all sizes, completely enveloping them.

Afterwards, the crazy fire in it actually gradually died out, turning into a colorless, rotten eyeball.

Bai Shi's eyes gradually widened.

It was the first time that he saw the feeling of 'sparkling' in the light.

Bai Shi pointed at the light on the ground and asked Liliana and Irena:
"What power is this?"

Liliana puffed out her chest and said proudly:

"The power that can truly fight against the Outer Gods is not an intuitive power that can be inherited through inheritance."

"The fairies can see concepts, and of course they rely on concepts to deal with the Outer Gods."

"The first wind, the first water, the first snow..."

“All of this carries a special meaning and concept.”

"And this power comes from the original water."

Bai Shi glanced sideways, somewhat surprised.

"Water again?"

Irena nodded and explained for Liliana:
"Yes, but according to Liliana, this is lake light."

"The flawless light reflected from the mirror-like calm lake water can calm the madness of the madness."

Liliana seemed dissatisfied with Irena's brief introduction and added:

“Once the water actually appears, it will be affected by the outside world.”

“Even if we really bring in the primordial water, it will be defeated and polluted the moment it faces the gods from the outer world.”

"It is simply impossible to seal the Outer Gods with that power." "And the lake light reflected by the flawless water is a simple concept and will not be changed."

"The same goes for running water. It relies on the concepts attached to it to seal it, not actually summoning running water to wash away corruption."

Melina seemed to be thinking about something, and in her heart she marveled at the wisdom of the fairies, and could not help but continue to ask:
"So what's the difference between the lake light and the flowing water in response to the fire?"

Irena didn't know the difference and looked at Liliana in confusion.

This question has never been discussed before.

Liliana held her hands to her chest and explained one by one:

“There are different concepts for the same thing, like corruption and abundance.”

"From the primordial water, we fairies found two similar but completely different concepts."

"The surging waves and the tranquility of a mirror-like lake, this is the power of water."

"The concept of flowing water can perfectly suppress corruption and curb His unbridled expansion."

"When facing the madness of depression and madness, the lake light is much more useful."

"Weak fires like these can be extinguished directly with the lake light."

"Of course, an enemy of the level of the Mad Fire King can only be sealed by Irena in other ways."

When Liliana finished speaking, Irena seemed to remember something and whispered to Bai Shi:
"Ah, you seemed to be going crazy during the fight just now."

"Let me dispel the influence for you."

Bai Shi nodded and did not refuse.

Although his strength has increased and he has gained rationality, which is enough to fight against mild insanity.

But with help around, why should I fight it alone?

Irena stretched out her hand, and a stream of light washed over Bai Shi's body.

Suddenly, I felt refreshed, and my mind became more peaceful and clear than ever before.

The slightest remnants of epilepsy were completely removed, and all the various influences left over time were also cleansed away.

After asking thoroughly, Bai Shi's curiosity was completely satisfied.

At this time, I also had an intuitive understanding of the goblins' inheritance.

No wonder Liliana insisted on bringing Irena here.

Although he doesn't have much combat power now, he is a top-level auxiliary position.

And this power is also necessary to seal the King of Mad Fire.
-
After cleaning up all these crazy eyeballs, Bai Shi and others continued on their journey.

Not long after, an unexpected discovery was made in the bushes.

Passing by one of the bushes, Bai Shi saw at a glance a broken hand bone sticking out of the bushes.

In his hands, he was holding something tightly.

'The Discarded Diary'.

At this moment, the undead's characteristic of being attracted to light was triggered.

Bai Shi walked forward and picked up the blurry diary from the withered hand.

It was a torn, discarded diary page with shaky handwriting on it.

Under the erosion of the long years, the diary has been partially torn and covered with dirt, and only a few intermittent sentences can be barely seen.

'If I touch it, I will.'

'His staff stabbed me, and I shook it off.'

'That's how I met the forbidden old man.'

Although it is intermittent, at least the key information can be seen.

That ghost thing is called the Forbidden Old Man, and the owner of this diary page once touched it by swinging away an attack.

Bai Shi didn't think that the body lying on the ground was the owner of the diary.

Judging from the direction he fell, he probably escaped from the front.

It seems that he also found this page of the diary there, but he did not escape in the end.

Bai Shi stood up and continued walking forward.

At the end of the sight, there is another old man who is constantly wandering around.

Bai Shi did not shy away and took the initiative to move forward, immediately triggering the hatred of the forbidden old man.

In order to verify the mechanism of the forbidden old men, Bai Shi did not use the Sword of Night and Fire this time.

When the moment came for the forbidden old man to attack, Bai Shi dodged sideways and brushed past his walking stick.

Bai Shi's hand was one step faster than the old man's cane and reached out to his body.

After touching that sticky and disgusting body, Bai Shi had the answer in his mind.

It seems to be a virtual type of ability, and it can only attack when he makes a move.

Bai Shi grabbed the skinny torso of the forbidden old man, and suddenly he could no longer return to the virtual state to avoid the attack.

The forbidden old man let out a sharp scream, and the eyeballs on his head continued to swell, emitting a strange light.

Suddenly, Bai Shi could clearly feel that his madness bar was rising rapidly.

Chaotic whispers and crazy images kept appearing, impacting Bai Shi's mind.

But Bai Shi was not panicked at all. A rippling water light appeared in front of his eyes, washing away all the crazy scenes.

Just now, Irena had already provided protection to everyone present.

As long as the spiritual power applied to them is not exhausted, they can continue to fight against the crazy fire.

Under the impact of the insane fire, Bai Shi's other hand had already grabbed the forbidden old man.

The strong hands were like sharp claws, easily piercing through the body of the forbidden old man and tearing him into two pieces.

As the body was torn into pieces, the bright, fiery eyes dimmed and lost their vitality.

Irena stepped forward quickly and used her fairy power to cleanse away the remnants of the insane fire.

Just as everyone was about to move on, Bai Shi suddenly discovered that something appeared on the ground after the old man disappeared.

This amulet looks like a ripe grape and is made based on the joyful expression of an old man who is forbidden to touch.

'An Old Man's Joy'.

As soon as he saw the familiar naming method, Bai Shi guessed the function of the amulet.

Obviously, like other games in the Joy series, it is a charm that increases your attack power when people around you are in abnormal states.

And since it fell from the old man who was forbidden to touch the epilepsy fire, the triggering condition for this must be the epilepsy fire.

Bai Shi silently picked it up and kept it.

Although they are of no use at the moment, these amulets are quite effective and are common in monkey shows.

And as long as you witness someone around you becoming abnormal, the conditions are very broad.

Although using crazy fire weapons will accumulate crazy fire, who says that Bai Shi must use them himself?

You know, Ashimi is completely unaffected by abnormal conditions.

Baishi can let Ashimi use weapons with abnormal effects to poke people, so as to stack buffs for him.

It’s a pity that I don’t have the Joy of Corruption now, otherwise the Aperia in Ashmi’s hand would be the best means to stack corruption.

Bai Shi stood on a huge rock and looked forward.

In the fog, the crazy eyes of the forbidden old men were as bright as the lights on the other side, showing their existence without any scruples.

At the end of the fog, Bai Shi vaguely saw a mansion in the distance.

A hazy black mansion silhouette stood quietly at the limit of vision, emitting a faint crazy yellow light.

It seems that we are almost there. I wonder if we can find the answer ahead.

Looking at the shadow of the official residence, Bai Shi thought silently.
