Is this okay?

"Senior Xiaoyuan, let's gather the player team to attack the Golden Tree!"

"No problem. Our current combat strength is basically enough to completely overwhelm the entire border region. As long as we move fast enough and blitz the Golden Tree, I believe that in just three days, this border region will be ours!"

Senior Xiaoyuan smiled excitedly, her hands clenched with certainty, and she slapped the map in front of her forcefully.

"Three days later!"

"The border area will fall into my hands!"

……

Then that afternoon.

At Xiaoyuan's call, the players surged out, tanks, planes, cannons, each one with unprecedented combat power, advancing like mad dogs unleashed from their cages in the direction of attack.

In the blink of an eye, the entire border area was engulfed in artillery fire; anything with a health bar was blown up.

The dragon blocking your way will be killed, the black knight blocking your way will be blown up, and the cities you pass by will be overturned.

Everything that could move, except for NPCs, was destroyed.

Meanwhile, in the underground world.

Thanks to Leng Mo's skillful maneuvering, the player successfully obtained the Hunter's Finger Knife, something that required countless players' effort to acquire.

Simply put, because the underground Eternal City has too much elevation difference, many players who lost their minds charged too far and fell to their deaths.

The number of players who died from falling could even circle the border area.

But it doesn't matter!

In the end, I obtained the key item.

The moment Leng Mo got the finger knife, he ran to find Lani.

Just then, the city of Kalia was also breached by the player's forces. Considering that there weren't many NPCs in the city of Kalia, the artillery fire lasted for a full hour before it stopped.

After it quieted down, it felt a little strange.

In the tower of Lani the Mage, Lani sat on a chair piled high with books. She already knew that Rataen was dead, and was now sending Blaze to the Eternal City to retrieve the Finger Knife, so that she could finally break completely with Two Fingers.

Just as she was anticipating Blazer's outcome, Leng Mo arrived.

“How interesting. I didn’t expect you to find this place, Faded One.”

Lani greeted Leng Mo with a happy voice.

Upon entering, Leng Mo noticed that Lani didn't immediately pull out her finger knife, and spoke directly:

"The border region is about to fall into our hands. I've come to ask you, is the cluster of stars you're looking forward to really a good thing?"

"Oh? That's an interesting topic. Let me guess who told you? Melina?" Lani looked at Leng Mo curiously, wondering who it was.

"not me."

Suddenly, Melina appeared quietly from behind Leng Mo. She took off her hood and looked at Lani intently.

Chapter 329 Breath of the Sun: My Lord, Times Have Changed.

“Well, it seems you’re more interesting than I thought, Faded One.” Lani looked at Leng Mo with great interest.

"So what's the answer?" Leng Mo asked again.

“To be honest, I don’t know.” Lani was unclear about the question: “I only know that there might be a hope if the stars left the boundary, but I don’t know what that hope is.”

"I expect the stars to give me an answer, an answer that will satisfy me. As long as it's better than what I am now, I haven't thought too much about anything else."

She made no attempt to hide anything, perhaps out of consideration for Melina, or perhaps because she had eliminated Rataen.

The four hands were placed there, but now the cane, which was stuck to everything, looked a bit mischievous, like a little girl shyly confessing her secret.

"What if I gave you an answer that transcends the stars? Would you accept it?"

Leng Mo looked at Lani seriously and asked in a confident tone.

"Oh? What is it? To become the King of Elden? It's a pity that even if you become the King of Elden, you can't escape your original fate."

"I will destroy the Elden Ring, completely liberate the borderlands, let the stars appear, let the sun appear, and let everything return to the most peaceful future, a future where birth, aging, sickness, and death all develop naturally."

“This is truly interesting. I can look forward to it, but before that, I need one thing. Only with this thing can I escape my original fate. That thing is in the Eternal City. If you bring it to me, perhaps I can look forward to it.”

Lani watched Leng Mo with a smile. If she could break free from fate, she might be able to see the ending Leng Mo would bring. If not, she would continue with her own destiny.

Then she saw Leng Mo pull a dark, tree-branch-shaped dagger from his crotch.

You mean this thing?

"..."

Lani was a little confused for a moment. "When did you get it?"

After a brief moment of distraction, Lani looked at Leng Mo with a expectant smile, a hint of mischief in her eyes, and a touch of eagerness, and asked:

"So, are you going to give it to me?"

"Hmm." Leng Mo didn't say much, nodded and handed the hunting finger knife in his hand to Lani.

After hunting down Fingerblade, Lani's subordinate across from her gave a friendly smile: "Thank you, Faded One. Well then, I must now bid you my final farewell. You and Melina continue your journey; I will be back soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lani disappeared from her seat, leaving behind a sentimental Leng Mo and a seemingly indifferent Melina.

Melina spoke only after Lani left.

"Where do we go next?"

“Help Lani out. She’s been being watched by Two Fingers the whole time. Once she gets the Finger Knife, she’ll be hunted down by Calamity. She won’t be all alone at that time.”

Leng Mo understood what was going on, and recalling the storyline in the game, he felt a bit conflicted.

The most dangerous moment for Lani came after she obtained the finger. To escape the pursuit of misfortune, she abandoned her body and transformed into a petite Lani hiding in a coffin. If the explorer hadn't found her, she doesn't know how long she would have remained hidden there.

"Do you need my help?" Melina nodded upon hearing this; she was willing to help Lani.

“Not for now,” Leng Mo said, taking a deep breath, a little worried.

……

Meanwhile, after obtaining the finger knife, Lani left to prepare for her own actions. She did not inform anyone else because Blaze's curse was destined not to help her, Servis was an untrustworthy person, and the old giant... well, that's a long story.

But Lani did not back down in the face of this situation; she was about to take action.

Kill the two fingers!

Only by killing Two Fingers can she achieve true freedom.

Fate could no longer bind her.

Behind every god-man is a two-fingered watch, designed to guide them toward their inevitable fate. But Lani is different; she wants to resist and doesn't want to follow the destiny arranged by the supreme will. So she first plotted the Night of the Black Blade, killing the first god-man, and then killing her own body, using puppets to continue her plan.

Now we're finally going to take the final step: kill the messenger of the supreme will, Two Fingers!

But Lani miscalculated, and disaster struck.

"So fast?!"

Lani had no idea that the calamity would come so quickly; it probably had already arrived when she obtained the finger knife.

It's a two-finger command!

She immediately realized the problem and hurriedly sped towards Lena's mage tower, which was her master's mage tower and had a teleportation portal. She would then teleport there and hide.

Tread.

Unfortunately, the calamity was faster than her, appearing silently behind Lani.

The crimson blade was already raised high behind her head!

The next second, Lani instantly teleported away from where she stood and rushed into the Rena Mage Tower.

It moved so fast that even those behind it in the calamity didn't have time to react.

Just as the calamity was about to strike again, a terrible discrimination appeared behind it.

"Hey, look here."

Leng Mo's voice came from behind the Calamity, causing the Calamity to slowly turn around.

In the instant he turned around, Calamity only felt a blur before his eyes as a crimson blade rushed towards him, followed by the sound of the blade tearing through flesh.

puff!

The sound of calamity accompanied the sound of a body breaking; he knelt on one knee, clearly on the verge of death.

"I'm taking her away today, and I'd like to see who dares to stop me!"

Leng Mo's voice appeared again, and then he turned around, pulled out a pistol, and fired a shot at Calamity.

"Breath of the Sun, My Lord, Times Have Changed."

boom!

The bullet pierced through Calamity's head in an instant, and the immense force completely ended Calamity's existence.

Even though Tanjiro would be furious if he knew about this technique, it doesn't matter! As long as I don't say anything, no one will know!

Meanwhile, after escaping into the Rena Mage Tower, Lani immediately activated a portal and teleported directly to the Ansel River.

Knowing the horror of the calamity, she immediately hid her doll body, then transformed into the petite Lani and hid in the coffin.

Miscalculation!

I didn't expect Two Fingers to arrive so quickly. Sure enough, Two Fingers sensed it the moment I first came into contact with Hunting Fingers.

What should I do...? I'm no match for the calamity, and who can I contact...?

Blaze... No, his curse is absolutely uncontrollable, he might already be locked up.

Giants... No, he simply doesn't have that kind of strength.

Servis? No way, that disgusting guy just wants to turn me into a doll.

What should I do?! I can't use anyone around me right now!

I, the witch Ranie, actually miscalculated...

Petite Lani hid in the coffin, at a loss for how to break out of the predicament; she was now trapped in a dead end!

Chapter 330 The witch Lani was humiliated.

Petite Lani hid in the coffin, at a loss for how to break out of the predicament; she was now trapped in a dead end!

We have to think of a way; we've already come this far...

Just one last step!

She was terrified, recalling all the schemes she had planned, but she hadn't anticipated this situation.

The power of the calamity was enough to kill her, leaving her no way out.

rustle!

Just then, footsteps sounded outside; something was coming.

鏉ヤ 钖楋纻

Lani was filled with apprehension. She wasn't sure if she could escape, nor was she sure if the calamity would find her.

For a time, all they could do was resign themselves to fate, feeling utterly helpless as they hid in the coffin, pretending to be motionless like rag dolls.

As the footsteps outside grew louder, Lani knew clearly that the person opposite her was approaching.

Oh no... Am I going to die here?

Is this my fate?

Lani's heart was filled with cries; she didn't want to die, nor did she want to be bound by fate.

The person appeared, accompanied by a shadow cast by the light.

"Hey! What luck! I found a doll."

Leng Mo stared at the petite Lani with a comical expression, as if he were just passing by.

"..."

Petite Lani breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Leng Mo, but was also somewhat speechless, however…

Fortunately, it's you, the faded one.
