Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 437 Preparing for War
Xu Liye stretched out his hand and looked at the warm tears dripping into his palm, feeling confused and at a loss.

Hurier didn't know why he had such a big reaction.

But he suddenly felt that it was the right decision to come to this blue coast even if he ignored the call of Lady Michaela.

Obviously, following the guidance of his heart, there really was something important here that he had forgotten.

Hilbert looked at Hurier, who suddenly burst into tears, and fell into deep thought for a moment.

What's going on? Did I irritate him?
Although she knew that Xu Liye was a very cowardly person, it shouldn't be like this, right?

Even the little pot she took in wouldn't react so violently...

Harold silently grasped his weapon and approached the abnormally behaving Hurrier, ready to control him at any time.

He was not as friendly and optimistic as Hilbert towards this strange guy, and was always wary.

This is the normal reaction when encountering this kind of guy. If you want to survive in the border area, you must be vigilant.

Generally speaking, no matter where in the border area, people who secretly use poison to fight are not welcome.

Although it sounds like a stereotype, it is the result of countless precedents of people losing their lives due to carelessness.

Moreover, at this moment, the other party's mental abnormality has been revealed, and we must be wary of the possible aggressive behavior that may occur after his mental breakdown.

Hullier suddenly stood up at this moment, making Harold's already nervous mood even more tense.

He stood in front of Hilbert, the heavy hammer in his hand ready to strike.

However, Xu Liye did not make any move. He just covered his face and walked silently in one direction.

He wants to go deep into the blue coast, he wants to find that feeling in his heart.

It was almost time, something in his heart was about to break out...

Hilbert and Harold looked at each other. Hurier's obvious abnormality made it impossible for them to pretend that nothing had happened.

Harold shook his head slightly, signaling Hilbert not to delve further into the matter, and not to get close to that guy who was full of uncertainties.

However, Hilbert did not think so, and there was a strong desire to explore in his eyes.

Hullier's behavior was so abnormal, was it some kind of disease? Or was there another reason?

Hilbert was a very curious guy, and it was thanks to this energy that she had come this far.

If you just follow the rules and study books and existing materials, then you can only be called a third-rate prop maker.

Hilbert straightened his bag and quickly caught up with Hurier, keeping a distance from him.

Harold hesitated for a moment, but finally did not say anything to stop them. He led the soldiers to follow silently.

Hullier once said that he had no ability.

Neither strong nor smart enough.

Although it was a self-deprecating and even self-deprecating statement, it was also true in the eyes of the Black Knight.

Hurier was too weak both physically and mentally to go on the battlefield.

He is only threatening when using poison. His ability in direct combat with humans is not very strong. He is confident that he can protect Hilbert.

Besides, if it's just poison, they also have a very good perfumer.
-
On the dreamy coast with blue flowers blooming all over the ground, Xu Liye ran wildly in ecstasy.

Hurier was almost unable to think.

He wanted to know... he wanted madly to know what he had forgotten.

It could make him feel so painful and deep even after losing the relevant memories, almost to the bone marrow...

That must be an extremely important memory that should never be forgotten.

But he had forgotten such an important memory and couldn't recall it at all...

Thinking back to the call issued by Lord Michaela, Xu Liye couldn't help but feel a chill.

Just a few days ago, Lady Michaela actually took the initiative to give instructions to their followers, which was the first time that had never happened before.

Lady Michaela asked them to gather together, hoping to play a supporting role.

Originally, Xu Liye had planned to go there in advance and wait for orders.

After all, a useless person like him has no choice but to contribute more, at least to avoid becoming a burden.

But for some reason, when I was ready to leave, I couldn't take a step. Instead, I couldn't stop thinking about the blue coast that I had once seen but never actually visited.

If it were an ordinary situation, he would just hesitate for a while, then give up silently and act according to the planned actions.

But Hilbert, whom he met on the way, also encouraged him to follow the call of his heart and go looking for it.

In her eyes, a call-up without even a specified time was obviously issued by a leader with no management skills.

In this case, you might as well finish what you want to do first.

If it weren't for this final pull, Xu Liye might have never gotten to know the truth.

While running wildly, Xu Liye suddenly felt a sense of fear.

Because Hullie figured out one thing:
Since his memory is wrong, is the current situation really the same as he remembers?

If...if the person on his chest was the one he originally served, then why does he have no memory of it at all?

Besides, why is he serving Mistress Michaela now?
Now that I think about it, I can't even remember the reason why I followed Lady Mikaela.

In Xu Liye's mind, those anomalies that had been inexplicably ignored in the past kept emerging.

Xu Liye suddenly felt a strong sense of strangeness.

Is that soft light really as gentle as it appears?

If it wasn't for the inexplicable scent of the water lily that touched something in his heart...

Then it is impossible for him to even have such a doubt?

Ignore those anomalies and let them remain silent deep in your mind.

In the end, you will probably just be in a daze, deceived until the end of your life, unable to extricate yourself, right?
Thinking of the horrible ending, Xu Liye couldn't help but shudder.

He has not yet learned the full truth, nor has he been freed from the shackles that have bound him.

But the darkness he saw now was enough to make him feel fear and despair, and he just wanted to escape from here.
-
Xu Liye was so focused on his own inner thoughts that he did not notice the abnormality of the road in front of him in time.

A soul hydra suddenly emerged from the ground, its angry red head swelled up, and it smashed towards Xu Liye like a sledgehammer.

Caught off guard, Xu Liye was unable to completely avoid the attack and could only lunge forward in a panic to dodge it.

A big hole was smashed into the ground under his feet, and Xu Liye was knocked over by the impact.

A handful of incense flickered in the air, and the moment it completely enveloped the soul hydra, it exploded violently.

The body of the Soul Hydra was completely shattered into pieces and disappeared on the spot.

And Xu Liye ignored the matter completely. He just propped up his upper body from the sea of flowers and looked up at the distant coastline in confusion.

What happened to him...

Will his confusion and pain really get a response?

Suddenly, Xu Liye saw something and his eyes widened.

At the end of the blue coast, a deep purple figure slowly appeared.

The soft fragrance diffused gently, as if to relieve him from the sea of suffering and bring him into peace.

The moment Xu Liye saw Tolina, the dusty memories in his mind gradually emerged.

Tolina's figure was not the same as what he remembered, but they gradually became consistent.

However, before Xu Liye could fully recall it, as he touched the shackles of charm, the power began to clean up according to the plan left behind.

Huliye held his head, feeling a pain that seemed to tear him apart.

He fell to his knees in agony, and all he could do was hold his head and scream horribly.

But what was even more difficult for Huliye to accept than the physical pain was that his memory and thoughts were gradually being bleached out again. The truth was clearly before his eyes, but he still couldn't reach it?
Even if he had to give up everything, he wanted to see Lady Torina again...

Xu Liye stretched out his hand, his consciousness gradually becoming blurred.
-
After leaving the sarcophagus cave, Tolina suddenly felt something and felt the call of the believers.

Looking towards the middle of the Blue Coast, Tolina immediately saw the figure of Xu Liye.

Tolina remembered him, for in the past, Hurier had been one of her priests.

It's a pity that Xu Liye didn't even know that the statue of the saint on his clothes was exactly the same as the statue on the hilt of the "Torina Sword" given to the priests in the past.

He himself has forgotten it.

Tolina gently pulled Bai Shi's hand, and then took the initiative to move closer to her believer.

After Hurier was seduced by Michaela, Torina was powerless to do anything, and he felt very sorry for it.

Now she is no longer the weak person she used to be, and it is time for her to pay for her past inaction.

In the purple mist, the pain in the body gradually weakened, only the struggle of will continued.

Bai Shi also came to the fallen Xu Liye and observed the situation.

Looking at Xu Liye, Bai Shi could feel something strange about him.

His soul seemed to be shrouded in a halo.

At this moment, as he struggled in pain, Bai Shi also clearly saw the light flickering.

Seeing this, Bai Shi knew his identity.

Although he had never seen this person, he must have been fascinated by Michaela and followed her to become a helper.

As his gaze moved behind Xu Liye, Bai Shi was surprised to see several other people.

He actually saw Hilbert, Harold and others here.

Hilbert and his companions were also surprised to see Bai Shi here. They saluted and then went forward to check on Xu Liye's condition.

Without the burden of physical pain, Hurier's will was surprisingly strong in his spiritual struggle.

At this moment, under the bleaching of Michaela's light, that will was even deadlocked for a moment.

Not only is he resistant to poison, but Xu Liye's mental endurance is also quite high.

After all, Tolina's water lily is not only poisonous, but also has its own unique power, which cannot be overcome by simple physical resistance.

And this is the only thing that Xu Liye can show off.

If it is for his own beliefs, then even if he is trembling and afraid, he dares to fight against the gods.

Bai Shi looked at Xu Liye and stretched out his hand to him, and the Great Rune gradually reflected its power.

After using Wind Spirit Moon Shadow to harmlessly enchant, the mark of Michaela's power remained.

When he has nothing to do, Bai Shi would use the Great Rune to analyze it, and now he has made considerable progress.

So with the help of Bai Zhi, the illusory gentle light gradually dimmed until it was completely wiped out.

The mark that Michaela left on Xu Liye has now been completely erased.

Memories of the past kept emerging in Xu Liye's mind.

He thought of Torina—her form, her scent, her deep sleep.

Xu Liye knew clearly that Lady Tolina was abandoned by Lady Michaela, but under her charm, he didn't care at all and they were like strangers.

That power is so terrifying...

Xu Liye knelt down in the sea of flowers, lowered his head deeply, and held the hand that Tolina extended.

"Lady Tolina, your loyal priest Xuliye is still following..."
-
After rescuing Xu Liye, he soon learned the whole story of how Tolina was abandoned.

Huliye also had special respect for Bai Shi, calling him "Lady Tolina's hero".

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Bai Shi learned about Michaela's movements from Xu Liye.

It just happened to be fresh information that could complement the information we had before Tolina was abandoned.

After listening to the report, Bai Shi nodded slightly, as if thinking about something.

Hurier was called up, and this was not something that happened in the last one or two days.

It took them quite some time to get to the Blue Coast, and Michaela had already given instructions long ago.

It seems that Michaela had already been alert before Bai Shi came into contact with Torina.

Maybe Celine Shanks and Schiff were also spotted while tracking.

As for now, Bai Shi has already broken the seal imposed by Michaela on the entrance of the big hole, which is equivalent to directly revealing his cards.

Michaela must have known that Torina had been rescued, and naturally she would also know that Bai Shi was ready to take action against him.

I guess Michaela must have increased her risk tolerance even more now.

Gathering people might be preparing strength to buy time for him.

But it was already a little late. Michaela hadn't even entered the Shadow Tower, let alone touched the Gate of God.

According to Torina, it seems that it will take some time to complete the ritual inside the Gate of God.

If Bai Shi guessed correctly, Michaela probably had no way to deal with the pressure he brought.

In that case, Bai Shi will have to be rude.

Michaela is preparing to face him on the battlefield, so he also needs to prepare.

If there wasn't a grand debut, it would be hard to justify Michaela's vigilance.
-
Feeling that Hurier's charm had failed, Michaela looked at the Great Rune that she had not yet abandoned in her broken body and sighed.

He still overestimated himself...

I thought I could turn the white consciousness into the most powerful aid, but I didn't expect that although the plan was successfully implemented, it also left behind a sharper sword.

Obviously, he had succeeded in charming Bai Shi. Even now, Michaela could still feel the charm working on Bai Shi.

It should have worked...

But all signs have shown that Bai Shi has escaped from the enchantment.

I don’t know what means were used, but even he who was enchanted couldn’t find anything unusual.

But the means are no longer important; what we should think about more is how to proceed.

Just as Bai Shi thought, Michaela actually had no room to resist.

He was helpless in the face of Bai Shi's terrifying strength.

After all, he didn't have any strong power, either himself or his forces.

In the past, even General Ratan and Monger were unable to defeat him, so they had to turn to Bai Shi for help.

As for now, even the body has been abandoned and only 30% is left, not to mention it.

He did not touch the Gate of God, so he could not make the King descend, and he himself did not become a god...

But Michaela wasn't ready to give up yet.

At this final moment, he still had a glimmer of chance of success.

For this ideal, he has given up everything, even confusion and fear.

He had nothing else to lose.

Either win everything and successfully turn the border into a gentle world...

Or lose everything, like the countless corpses buried at the border in the past...

Michaela looked at all the strength she could muster around her and closed her eyes.

Soon, the final moment that will decide the outcome will arrive.
