Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 442 Corruption Goddess
As Marennia looked at the white consciousness that was so powerful that it changed the color of the sky and the earth, the pressure in her heart became even heavier.

Not to mention defeating Bai Shi, even the originally expected fierce battle to delay time was completely unimaginable...

After all, it was only now that they finally got each other to take it seriously.

Marlennia didn't even know if this was the most powerful state of White Consciousness.

If Bai Shi still has more powerful powers that he has not used, then it would be the most desperate.

Before Malenia could think any more, Bai Shi finally moved.

Putting away the scarred dragon-hunting shield, Bai Shi held the ancient iron meteorite sword in his hand and leaned down slightly.

Taking seriously the enemies who dare to stand in front of you is the highest respect.

In an instant, an intense light burst out from the thick, cracked blade of the ancient iron meteorite sword, and Bai Shi's body suddenly rushed forward.

A dazzling, cold white light flashed, and the whole world seemed to be completely shrouded in paleness.

By the time Malenia and Romina reacted, Bai Shi's figure had already crossed a long distance and was roaring towards them.

If Marlennia's charge is like a formula one car, it requires extreme reaction and control in exchange for precision and efficiency.

Now the rampaging white consciousness is like a hundred-ton king galloping on the road, crushing everything into powder under its extreme power.

What's in the way? Talk to his sword.

Marlenya wanted to dodge, but she realized that Romina was not as agile as she was, and her huge body made her an easy target.

So she quickly raised the prosthetic knife in her hand and held it across her chest, using her left hand to support the back of the knife, trying to block the powerful attack.

Romina also reacted immediately, and countless legs quickly crawled up and stuck closely behind Malenia.

The giant centipede wrapped around Malenia's body in circles, forming a spherical shield, and the scorpion's tail stinger pressed against the ground to stabilize its body.

At the same time, the bud knife in Romina's hand was crossed and pressed against the back of Malenia's knife. The two weapons formed a cross structure, relying on each other.

This level of defense is already the limit of what the two can do in such a hurry, and there is no better way to resist.

And just after doing all this, the violent impact came.

It was clearly a sharp sword tip, but when it hit, it felt like a blunt weapon, causing a violent surge of impact in all directions.

The force and momentum crashed into the two men's hearts, and blood immediately gushed out of their mouths and noses.

The two overlapping weapons were bent in an instant, and if they were not tough enough, they would have almost broken on the spot.

Romina's scorpion tail pressed against the ground, and together with its sharp legs deeply embedded in the masonry, it bore the terrible force.

However, even if they reacted in time, how could the brick and stone steps under their feet, which were already full of cracks, withstand such an unbearable weight?

It didn't hold out for even a moment, and the stairs were completely destroyed like a rotten wood.

The entangled bodies of Malenia and Romina were held back by Bai Shi's sword and kept retreating.

The long and magnificent stairway to the gods was completely destroyed by the overwhelming force of the impact, and the huge remains crumbled to the ground bit by bit. From then on, no mortal could visit the Tower of Gods from the Tower Town.

The wings behind Romina flapped continuously, trying to change the angle of the attack and flew the two people into the air, and the impact they received became smaller and smaller.

When they finally left the ground completely, the two were immediately knocked away by the huge force, bloody wounds appeared on their hands, and slight cracks appeared on their weapons.

It was not until they had been flying backwards in the air for a long time that the huge force exerted on the two was finally mostly dissipated.

The faces of Malenia and Romina were extremely pale. If they had not blocked the attack just now, they would have been seriously injured.

Fortunately, they managed to withstand this attack...but what about the next one?

Although this move is powerful, it doesn't look like a trump card or a special trick.

Romina did not dare to stop, and continued to flap her wings, flying towards the Tower of God.

There is no place to stand, which is a very unfavorable combat environment for Malenia now.

She was dragging two huge insect bodies and Malenia, but she could only move with two pairs of thin wings, and was not very agile.

It is somewhat unrealistic to want to fight against the white consciousness that controls the storm in the air.

Although there would not be any advantage on the ground, it could at least reduce the disadvantage caused by the two people's inability to perform.

Obviously, Bai Shi also knew this and rushed towards the two again in the air.

Malenia and Romina did not separate, but remained entangled with each other, relying on each other for defense.

This time, the two were not as lucky as last time. Romina's bud knife broke first under the huge force, and her defense was immediately broken.

But Malenia lost her strength to support herself and could no longer control the blade, so it was bounced away.

There was no more obstacle in front of the heavy and sharp blade of the ancient iron meteorite sword, and it slashed heavily at Marennia from top to bottom.

Romina reacted and controlled the centipede to wrap around her even more tightly.

The giant centipede almost turned into an all-round sphere, tightly wrapping Malenia's body inside it.

However, under the sword that seemed to be able to separate heaven and earth, the centipede body that Romina had wrapped around Malenia was easily cut apart, breaking into several sections, and the smelly and rotten juice splashed everywhere.

With a scream of pain, Romina was instantly hit hardest by a blow she had never experienced before.

However, after penetrating the centipede's thick shell, the remaining power of the ancient iron meteorite sword was still terrifying.

This time, the one who suffered was the entangled body of Malenia.

Marlennia's golden helmet was split in two, revealing a face that was completely corroded by corruption and had been blind since birth.

The sword slashed down mercilessly, glancing across the skin of the face, splitting the graceful jaw first, followed by the sternum and internal organs.

Blood exploded in the air, blooming from the body that exposed bones and organs.

The two were smashed heavily and flew into the Tower of God. One of the spiral towers collapsed as a result, and the collapsed bricks and stones submerged their figures.

Although they landed as they wished, they are now unknown whether they are alive or dead.

Bai Shi looked at the motionless ruins, slowly approached, and temporarily stopped.

Before using the Great Rune to transfer attributes and enlarge the body size, Bai Shi had not yet reached his limit in terms of physical strength.

But even so, outnumbering two by one was enough to completely overwhelm the strengthened Malenia and Romina.
-
Buried by bricks and stones, Malenia lay on her back and stretched out her hands to push out of a narrow space.

Such a simple and easy action caused her to cough up a handful of blood.

The cold air physically pierced her lungs, and the feeling made her feel overwhelmed.

Marennia turned her head and looked at Romina beside her.

At this point, she had already lost consciousness due to even more serious injuries and had lost most of her body. This was not a pain that she, who was inexperienced in fighting, could endure.

Marlenya was very grateful for Romina's help.

Even though she has not yet accepted corruption, the other party does not care and stays by her side.

Moreover, her appearance also changed Marennia's view of those corrupt creatures that she originally hated.

She gained this power because she lost something important and because of the desire to protect it.

In the past, as a saint, she was not good at fighting, but now she was willing to risk her life to face the powerful enemy together with him.

Obviously, there was no need for her to face an enemy she could not defeat.

Marennia reached out to touch Romina, but her fingertips could never reach her.

The corrupt butterflies that were breeding rampantly in the Shadow Land flew in from the horizon and finally intervened in this horrific battlefield.

Following the gap, the scarlet butterflies approached the cavity where Malenia was and landed on her fingertips.

Looking at the corrupt butterflies surrounding her in her own way, Marennia felt a little disgusted, but did not move at all.

Malenia knew what the appearance of these corrupt butterflies here meant.

There is no chance of luck, and the power of corruption must be used.

She is almost dying.

The injuries on the body were not fatal on the spot, but the wounds on the soul were getting bigger and bigger.

Now that she is being ruthlessly crushed by the ultimate power, Malenia is somewhat desperate.

Marenia hated her own corruption, and she hated herself.

This innate divine power was not what she wanted. From the moment she was born, corruption had taken away too much from her.

He was born with a disability, having lost both eyes and only his left arm was intact, and his entire body was covered with ugly signs of decay.

If possible, she would never get close to corruption.

But if it was for her brother Michaela... then she was willing to do this.

Because this is the meaning of her existence in the border area.

Since her brother gave her the courage to survive, she also had the courage to die for him.

As long as she can realize her brother's ideal, Marennia would not hesitate even if it means death.

Michaela is the most important person to Malenia. For Malenia, this life was given by Michaela.

How horrible it is to be born with a disability, losing both eyes and having the only limb left to live.

Malenia, who is also weak and incomplete at heart, would definitely not have the courage to face life if she were alone in this situation.

If it weren't for her brother's gentle company, who built her golden prosthesis bit by bit and explored the pure gold that could suppress corruption...

If Malenia were to face the cruel reality alone...

Then even the day when she starts to learn the Flowing Water Sword Technique from her master and suppress corruption with her own strength, Marennia probably won't be able to hold on until then.

Now Marennia felt somewhat relieved.

If it weren't for this power that had caused her countless pains in the past, she wouldn't even have the last trump card.

This was the strength that had caused her pain and endured countless sufferings in the past, but at least now she had one last chance to fight for her life.

If she had to choose between herself and Michaela, Malenia would give the answer without any hesitation.

As early as countless years ago in Gaileed, she had already given the answer to this choice.

What a pity... If she could be a little stronger, then even without corruption, she would probably be able to continue to defeat the enemies for her brother with her invincible wings.

But Malenia couldn't do it.

There are always some opponents that she cannot overcome.

'In the end, at this final moment, I still have to release the power that I hate the most.'

Marenya felt deeply disgusted with herself for being so powerless.

Every time the scarlet flower blooms, Marenia becomes one degree more corrupt.

The flower has bloomed twice now - and the third time, she will surely turn into a goddess of corruption.

Resisting corruption and being unwilling to accept corruption is what Marenya thinks deep down.

It’s just... for her brother, she can even give up herself completely.

Being close to him means being close to pain; but being away from him means being away from happiness.

When we talk about death, we think of him; but when we talk about love, we still think of him.

“Brother…”

'In this world that I hate so much, only your light is so gentle.'

"But, I am also very tired..."

Marennia closed her eyes tiredly and calmly pulled out the golden needle without moving.

She just planned to allow the corrupt butterflies to invade her body, summon the corrupt power, and replace her as the corrupt god.

Malenia was ready to give up her will and did not intend to become the corrupt goddess.

If she had to choose between her own will and loyalty, this might be the final answer that Marennia could give.

Malenia knew that Michaela needed the 'Goddess of Corruption' more than 'Malenia' now.

Malenia, who resisted corruption, died without having to face that corruption, and her brother got the powerful help he wished for.

Caught between her insignificant, tiny self and her vital brother, she could certainly make a choice.

But no matter what choice she makes, she is actually very painful.

Feng Ren doesn't need to tell her pain, and no one will care about her heart.

But Malenia also longed for someone to look at her cheap heart and love.

Malenia had given up completely, waiting for corruption to consume her and turn her into meat.

Even at this moment when her body was in great pain, she felt a relaxation and relief that she had never felt in her life.

However, as Malenia felt the corruption slowly pouring out of her body, the corrupt butterflies did not pour into her body.

After feeling the pain in Malenia's heart, the corrupt butterflies flew towards the blade in her hand, and then collided with the sharp blade, and their fragile lives were easily cut apart.

The power of life was absorbed and transferred to Malenia bit by bit along the blade.

The wound, which had originally healed extremely slowly, was now recovering rapidly.

Feeling the lives of those tiny corrupt butterflies, some indescribable emotions suddenly arose in Malenia's heart.

'They...are concerned about me?'

"Are you willing to sacrifice your life for my feelings?"

It turned out that those corrupt lives that she despised and even hated just wanted to have someone to rely on and a mother-like God to love them.

When she realized this, Malenia's broken heart, which only contained one person, finally found a reason to live for herself.

Although it is still a long way from completion, it is already the most critical step she has taken.

Marlenya opened her mouth, speechless as she felt the power continue to surge out of her body.

Then she clenched her prosthetic hand tightly.

If she had to transform into a corrupt goddess for her brother, then at least she now had another reason...

The scarlet power of corruption permeated the ruins, and illusory petals gradually surrounded her.

This time, it was Malenia's own will that accepted this power.

The most dazzling bud bloomed at this moment.
-
Looking at the corrupt forces emerging bit by bit from the ruins, Bai Shi sighed softly.

Did Marennia make this choice in the end?
Bai Shi waved his arm, and a huge amount of magic power madly poured out of his body.

In its current form, Baizhi's most powerful powers are magic and prayer.

Without taking out any magic wand, Bai Shi just spread out his five fingers and pointed his palms directly at the scarlet buds in the ruins.

Purple gravity light lit up from his hands, and huge gravity was exerted around the flower bud, even the space seemed to be distorted and wrinkled.

The corrupt buds gradually bent and collapsed towards the center, but they were never crushed.

The clear pyroxene light, as clear as water, continued to spread from the gaps in Bai Shi's armor and condensed on his body.

The tiny crystals dissipated in the wind, then gradually condensed and finally transformed into angular pyroxenes outside the body.

Connected to Bai Shi's terrifying magic power, those dense pyroxenes spread across the sky like floating cannons.

Under the control of Bai Shi, the pyroxene crystals fired indiscriminately. Beams of magic power were condensed into lasers and fired. Their target was naturally the flower buds that were tightly bound by gravity.

Each beam of magic power can create a power equivalent to that of a large pyroxene magic gravel.

Although the Great Pyroxene Demonic Gravel is only a fairly powerful basic spell, it cannot withstand the extremely terrifying number of attacks now.

It was simply like a meteor shower, the magic power was like falling meteorites that completely submerged the flower buds, and one couldn't even see what was going on underneath.

The spiraling Tower of God was immediately in trouble, and it fell apart bit by bit under the saturation shooting of magic power.

The surviving Horned People were destroyed along with the magnificent miracle, leaving only the remaining half of the tower which was still intact and continued to carry the Gate of God.

However, under such a horrific attack, the bud finally bloomed.

Bai Shi stopped attacking, giving up on interrupting this inevitable transformation.
-
In the smoke-filled ruins, countless corrupt butterflies appeared before Malenia.

The corrupt butterflies fluttered behind Malenia, forming the wings of the goddess of corruption, blocking out the sky and the sun yet appearing incredibly light.

After the smoke cleared, Malenia's body slowly appeared in front of Bai Shi's eyes, exactly the same as in his memory.

Marenia did not hold her blade, but held up Romina's broken body in her hands.

The wings gently wrapped around Romina, and Marenia gently shared her divine essence with her.

Since the corrupted divine essence of the past can save Romina...

Then she can do the same now.

If Malenia had truly accepted corruption with all her heart, she would have inherited the full power of this outer deity.

Because that is Marlenya's innate blessing.

She is not a darling of corruption.

Malenia - the goddess of corruption itself.
-
Far away at the border, Millicent, who was walking alone on the road to the sacred tree, suddenly felt something in her heart.

After checking itself, corruption was still well sealed, and only abundance was transformed.

She frowned and pressed her chest with depressed mood.

Something bad is about to happen...
-
The other four sisters trudged through the snowy fields, falling to their knees in agony, corruption constantly emerging from their bodies.

There is a certain blessing that is about to break out of the shell in my heart...
