Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 420: God-eating snake, face me!

Deep in the volcano palace, lava was rolling and bones were scattered all over the ground.

The biggest secret of the entire Volcano Residence is hidden in a hard-to-find underground cave.

The 'blasphemous king' Lakkad, or the 'God-eating snake', is hiding here.

Bai Shi followed Bernal, passed through an unknown secret passage, and finally arrived at this familiar battlefield.

This place is not directly exposed to the outside, it is hidden very well.

It would probably be necessary to completely break through the surface of the volcano before we could get deeper.

Densely packed skeletons were scattered randomly on the charred, solidified lava, silently telling of the tragic eating scenes of the past.

At the top of the cave, gorgeous lampstands and blood-stained cages were arranged side by side, which was inexplicably absurd.

At this moment, Bai Shi's attention was all on the huge pillars supporting the cave.

The sturdy pillars made of piled bones are spiral-shaped, supporting the vast cave from top to bottom.

Those pillars gave Bai Shi an inexplicable sense of déjà vu... just like the spiral of Tower Town.

The decoration in the Volcano Mansion already had that style, and now these spiral towers made of mountains of corpses and seas of blood have an even more obvious direction.

Looking at those strange spiral columns of flesh and blood, Bai Shi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Lacard, Bai Shi's original opinion of him was indeed average.

Although he had some talent and ability, the reason he was able to sit in that position during his lifetime was mostly because he happened to have a butt of the right size.

Especially his performance in the game, where he was unaware of his own abilities and was even swallowed by a snake.

Anyone who knew about this would say something bad about him, which was really embarrassing.

The demigods all shined in their own way, and it felt as if everyone else was doing well, but he was the one that let it down.

But if you sit at the same table with Xiao Ge from Houyi, it’s still pretty impressive.

However, judging from what Bai Shi discovered along the way, perhaps Lacard cannot be blamed entirely.

It should be said that the immortal snake was really shrewd and schemed against Lacard, and finally turned the tables and became the master.

This final residence has a very obvious spiral structure of horned people.

Perhaps Lacard or the God-Eating Serpent is secretly building the Tower of God, underground.

Bai Shi didn't know what the 'Gate of God' in the Tower of God looked like, but according to the description, it was a bloody gate made of the flesh and blood of countless sacrifices.

The God-Eating Serpent had experienced that period of time and obviously knew something about becoming a god.

This includes the Divine Skin Apostles, who are related to snakes and are the survivors of that era.

Temptation and greed, plunder and betrayal, snakes and fire.

All of this is so similar to the experience before the Golden Tree Era.

In particular, the text on the looting relief pendant seems to have a different meaning in retrospect:
When Lacarde swore to commit the blasphemy of treason, all acts of plunder were affirmed.

——It is exactly the same as what the gods do.

After visiting the Shadow Land, Bai Shi looked back at this text and was secretly shocked.

Border rituals are powerful, imitating past legends and events, and even recreating their fates and outcomes.

Lakkad also seemed to want to complete some kind of ritual, some kind of ritual leading to the gods.

Perhaps the Undead Snake used this to seduce Lakkad, making him believe its sweet words and lose his mind.

Unfortunately, judging from the current situation, the God-Eating Serpent has tricked Lakkad and there is no hope of success.

And even if it succeeds, it won't be Lacard who becomes a god in the end, but the God-Eating Serpent will just return to its peak.
-

When Bai Shi approached the surging magma in the center of the cave, a pure white figure was already waiting there.

The last Knight of Gmir, or rather, just his last obsession.

The soul stood in front of the pile of bones of its companions, looking at the giant snake hunting spear that it had retrieved with great difficulty.

He stretched out his hand and touched the huge black iron spear held by the charred corpse.

When did it start?
The overlord's ambitions have degenerated into base greed.

In order to find a weapon that could stop the master, he and his companions set out and spent countless hours searching.

Finally, thanks to everyone's efforts, they found the weapon used in the legend of hunting giant snakes.

The glorious deeds were engraved on the spear, and the spear has since possessed great power, with special powers emerging when facing the giant snake.

However, the gap in strength was too great. Even with such powerful weapons, the knights' long-cherished wish was not realized in the end.

The knights who came one after another kept leaving wounds on the snake, but they were unable to truly kill the alien, and it eventually turned into food.

And he is the last one to sacrifice himself.

After him, no one would serve Lacade as a knight anymore.

No one would stop Lakkad from serving again.

From now on, the only ones left in the Volcano Mansion were lowly rebels and equally lowly aliens who were unworthy of being called kings.

The knight of Gemir turned around and knelt on one knee respectfully towards Bai Shi.

Facing Bai Shi, he stretched out his hands towards the heavy weapon, intending to offer it to Bai Shi.

But for a knight, the weapon was too light and frail to kill the king.

But for an obsession, the weapon is too heavy to be picked up and offered.

Beside him, little bits of light kept emerging, condensing into incomplete figures.

They were all knights of Gmir, with the same wish, and eventually died together for the phantom of the past.

The knights stretched out their hands one by one, reaching for the heavy black iron spear.

Bai Shi understood their thoughts and waited quietly.

In front of him, a cold light slowly rose.

Using the power obtained from the spirit world, White Consciousness grants souls temporary power.

Then, dots of pure white light bloomed from the souls of the knights, which were the courage, faith and loyalty that flowed from their souls.

The souls of the knights were constantly gathering, and pairs of hands were lifting up the heavy black iron spears.

Deep in the volcano filled with bones, there is a place as white as the legendary Valhalla.

Finally, with the weight of light souls, the knights' faith lifted up the weapons that housed their wishes.

Many Gemir knights knelt around the Great Snake Hunting Spear, all of them held the spear in their hands respectfully, presented it to Bai Shi, and bowed their heads to beg.

There is no need to say anything in silence.

There was no need for these souls to say anything more, Bai Shi already understood their determination.

They are all excellent knights, loyal and brave.

It’s a pity that they did not follow a wise leader and were betrayed.

Bai Shi felt sorry for their choice, but the knights did not think so.

Being able to serve the overlord they desire with their human bodies is a glory they have never regretted.

But now, let everything end here.

Bai Shi said nothing, but tightly grasped the heavy hunting snake spear in his right hand and swung it hard.

The strong wind washed away all the mottled traces of time on the big snake hunting spear in an instant, making it look brand new and murderous.

Bai Shi was not good at giving speeches and could not say anything to these knights.

Then use the sword to show your will and respond to the knights' expectations! Feeling the terrifying power and determination in the surging air, the knights of Gmir no longer have any worries.

The pure white soul figure continued to dissipate, expressing the most sincere gratitude to the white consciousness.

Maybe it will disappear completely before witnessing the end, but it is enough that the long-cherished wish that has never been fulfilled has become a reality.

Bernard, who had remained silent the whole time, stood behind Bai Shi and bowed deeply.

I don't know if he was paying tribute to the knights or expressing gratitude to Bai Shi.

Or maybe both.

After standing up, Bernal quietly retreated and left.

Although he hoped to witness the end of one of his best friends, Lakkad, he was well aware of Bai Shi's strength.

A result that is already determined is not that attractive.

Besides, he had important things to do, so there was no need to waste time on a predetermined outcome.

It’s time to put an end to the matter of the Volcano Residence once and for all.

Bai Shi placed the spear heavily on the ground. A strong storm suddenly surged up around Bai Shi, and the entire underground cave was filled with strong winds.

The gorgeous ceiling and the blood-stained cage shook violently due to the strong wind, and then broke one after another and sank into the molten lava.

A heavy object fell into it, disturbing the owner of the lava, and waves and tides began to surge in the magma.

Bai Shi looked at the magma that was beginning to surge in front of him and muttered to himself:

"It's time to put an end to the matter of Volcano Residence once and for all."

"In the past, King Gefulei killed the immortal snake..."

"Let me reproduce it today as well, to comfort the loyal knights."

Bai Shi slowly raised his arm and pointed the heavy snake hunting spear towards the lava lake.

A violent storm suddenly emerged from the spear and penetrated through it with the roar of Bai Zhi.

"God-devouring Serpent—come out and face me!"

The bottomless lava was suddenly pierced by the thick and fierce air blade, and the air waves were deeply stirred in it.

A tragic roar immediately came from under the lava, waves surged, and the sound waves caused the piles of corpses to scatter.

As a black shadow emerged from the lava, violent waves suddenly rose in the huge lava lake.

The magma splashed everywhere, and a huge monster emerged from it.

A giant snake as big as a mountain appeared in Bai Shi's eyes.

Its body is covered with thick scales, and it moves its body ferociously, looking for insects that are unpredictable enough to disturb its slumber.

There were several huge lacerations on the huge body, and twisted bloody arms stretched out from the wounds, as if trying to escape from this blasphemous body.

The God-Eating Snake appears.

The God-Eating Snake's head turned and instantly found Bai Shi's location.

The eyes, which were larger than Bai Shi's entire body, showed a cruel and cold expression, as if they had already regarded him as the next prey to be devoured.

Seeing the legendary immortal God-eating snake, Bai Shi grinned.

"Can you really devour gods? Can you really be immortal..."

"Prove it to me right now."

The snake hunting spear in Bai Shi's hand gathered strength and stabbed out again with all his might.

The God-Eating Snake, which had just emerged from the magma, suffered a heavy blow. Its head was hit by the heavy storm, and its body was immediately driven backwards by the huge force.

The huge body lost its balance and collapsed into the magma, splashing large amounts of lava.

After only a few seconds, the huge body twisted itself with an agility that was inconsistent with its size, turned over in the magma, and swam out again.

As the head emerged from under the magma again, the God-Eating Snake also learned its lesson and stirred up a large amount of boiling magma and splashed it towards Bai Shi.

Bai Shi stomped his foot casually, and suddenly a strong wind swept across the entire space, blowing the molten lava into pieces.

At the same time, the head of the God-Eating Snake, which had just suffered a heavy blow, appeared again in front of Bai Shi.

A large number of scales on the part that was hit just now were knocked off, revealing the blurry flesh underneath.

However, beneath the flesh and blood of the wound, there was actually a layer of scales and flesh, and the blow did not penetrate the bones.

Dense granulation tissue moved together and quickly filled the gap, and the surface of the body returned to normal.

Silently watching the God-Eating Snake recover from its injuries, Bai Shi recalled the solid feel of it just now and couldn't help but smile.

The immortal serpent is a true mythical creature, worthy of its name as the God-eater.

Even if the current weakened version has not reached the level of gods and kings, the gap is not too big.

With time, if you eat more people, maybe you can really grow back to your peak moment.

Even at the current level, it would probably be difficult for the demigods to resist, with the exception of Malenia during her time as the Goddess of Corruption.

After all, no matter how exaggerated the demigods are, they are still based on human templates.

After being swallowed by the undead snake, Lakkad was directly fitted with the monster template, with outrageous numbers.

It's just that now Lakkad has been assimilated in the process of fighting for control with Orochi.

He has probably long forgotten his ideals and ambitions of becoming a king, and all that's left on his mind is eating. He won't compete for the title of King of Elden anymore.

Of course, Bai Shi just felt happy at this time.

Although its strength has not reached his level, the Undead Snake's thick skin and tough flesh are already obvious.

Such a handy sandbag is rarely seen since his strength has broken through again, so he must cherish it this time.

After all, when it comes to numbers, Bai Shi never thinks he loses to anyone.

After recovering from its injuries, the God-Eating Snake opened its huge mouth with a desire for flesh and blood and a rage for revenge, and rushed towards Bai Shi.

The huge body slithered at a high speed, sweeping away all obstacles in its way, and the scattered corpses were crushed into powder in an instant.

Facing the fierce attack launched by the God-Eating Serpent, Bai Shi simply blocked the snake's hunting spear in front of him.

The bloody mouth of the God-Eating Snake approached rapidly and attacked Bai Shi in an instant.

The white consciousness could even clearly see the undigested food stuck between the lips and teeth, and smell the bones and the fishy odor of decay.

Bai Shi was waiting for the right opportunity, the spear in his hand already ready to strike.

Finally, when the God-Eating Snake was about to swallow Bai Shi into its stomach, a fierce attack suddenly broke out.

The air blade extended from the spear and instantly turned into an extremely sharp spear tip that pierced out.

The air blade sank into the open mouth of the God-Eating Snake and then pierced through the top of its head, causing a wave of hot blood.

The God-Eating Snake suddenly let out a miserable roar, but its huge body could not stop in an instant.

It twisted its body desperately, trying to stop itself.

The redundant and heavy huge body did not obey its commands at all, and kept sliding forward, being split in half by the sharp air blade.

When the God-Eating Snake finally controlled its body and stopped, its huge head had been easily split into four parts.

The huge wound on the invisible belly of the giant snake almost touched the face of the sleeping Lakkad.

Bai Shi looked at the giant snake that was still twitching and twisting, and couldn't help but click his tongue, surprised by its disgusting vitality.

"I wonder how much more attacks you can take?"
