Elden Ring, building a legion of ashes

Chapter 60 Fever for Perfumes

the other side.

Thanks to the powerful restorative properties of the marinated turtle neck meat, Edgar's complexion is rapidly improving.

With a series of teeth-grinding "click-click-click" sounds as the bones reset.

Edgar's face twitched, and he was covered in cold sweat, but he silently forced his dislocated shoulder back into place.

Xia Tong removed all the extra weapons from her body, carrying only the Demi-human Queen's Staff on her back, while tightly gripping the Lion Greatsword in both hands.

"You lowly bastards!"

Edgar gripped the Lost Knight's Halberd tightly in his hand, his eyes filled with hatred.

Although the lion hybrid's sword strike had startled him and worsened his injuries.

But this suppression of power could not eliminate his hatred for these bastards.

He witnessed firsthand how one by one his former companions and friends were torn apart by the mixed race, and the tragic scene was still vivid in his mind.

Then, Edgar took out an exquisite red sachet from his waist.

He applied slight pressure with his fingers.

With a "snap," the red incense ball shattered completely.

Then, a pink, pungent mist immediately enveloped his entire body.

After inhaling the mist, Edgar's skin turned bright red, and blood even seeped from his pores, as if his blood had been boiled.

The blood vessels in his eyes instantly became denser, filled with a violent aura.

Seeing this scene before her, Xia Tong's mind raced as she tried to figure out what it was.

After a moment, he got a clue.

This is some kind of "fervent fragrance"!

Xia Tong certainly remembered the effects of this stuff.

In the game, he can greatly increase his physical attack power and significantly increase his maximum stamina and endurance.

However, the side effects manifest in reality as follows: pain perception is blocked, and rationality decreases.

This is a mad dog-like fighting style that's all about risking one's life for another.

"Ughhhhh!!"

Edgar let out a roar that didn't sound human.

His back, which had been somewhat hunched due to injury, straightened up suddenly under the stimulation of the medicine, as if he were experiencing a final burst of energy before death.

The heavy, lost knight's halberd was easily lifted in his hand, and he swung it around a few times with one hand, making a powerful and swift motion.

The lion hybrid's eyes narrowed sharply.

He instinctively prepared to grab the Greatsword of the Skull to parry.

However, Edgar had already disappeared from the spot.

Enveloped in red mist, he charged towards the lion hybrid like a cannonball, disregarding everything else!

The halberd, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound as it tore through the air, came crashing down directly on his head!

Edgar was, after all, a knight who had lost his homeland, and the fact that he was sent by Grek to guard Moen City showed that he was quite capable.

Now that he had drunk the invigorating incense, neither the injuries he had sustained recently nor those he had sustained today had any effect on Edgar, who was so insane that he felt no pain.

"when!!"

The Greatsword of the Sword Skeleton and the Halberd of the Lost Knight collided violently in mid-air, sparks flying everywhere.

Then, the weapons of both sides were once again locked in a fierce struggle, and a pure contest of strength began!

Driven by the invigorating medicinal properties, Edgar's arm muscles bulged, veins stood out, and blood vessels almost burst through his skin.

The bricks beneath their feet shattered under the terrifying pressure.

However, the strength of the lion hybrid is still superior.

With a roar, the lion hybrid twisted his waist violently, slamming his greatsword into the ground, slamming the Lost Knight's halberd.

With a loud "bang!"

The ground suddenly cracked, and bricks flew everywhere.

Then, the lion hybrid's powerful, green-scaled tail lashed out!

"Snapped!"

The whip strike landed squarely on Edgar's abdomen.

Edgar was sent flying by the blow, and the Lost Knight's Halberd in his hand fell to the ground.

Seeing that things were not going well, Xia Tong quickly flew out and caught Edgar as he flew back.

The moment Xia Tong touched his body, she felt an intense heat radiating from her hand.

Edgar's muscles were red, and he was covered in sweat, like a burning furnace. His breathing was also very heavy.

"Lord Edgar, please take a moment to adjust and wait for the right opportunity. Ruthel and I will take the lead."

"Lord Xia Tong, this shouldn't be your problem... It's my incompetence, Edgar..."

Edgar felt his blood surging, his face flushed red, and he was filled with shame.

Fortunately, the marinated turtle neck meat was still working, and his strength was gradually returning.

In the distance, the headless knight Ruthel was already facing off against the lion hybrid.

The two walked slowly around a circle, searching for each other's weaknesses.

In the blink of an eye, Ruthel vanished.

When she reappeared, she was already behind the lion hybrid.

He thrust out his knight's lance with a sudden burst of power, the lance wreathed in a dark yellow-brown mist of death.

This lion hybrid truly lives up to its reputation as a monster forged in the arena; its combat awareness is astonishing.

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, he suddenly turned around!

"when!"

The broadsword, like a shield, steadily blocked Ruthel's spear.

The lion hybrid suddenly straightened its arms, trying to deflect the knight's lance.

But just then, he suddenly felt a faint whooshing sound behind him, and his tail rose high and swept blindly behind him like a steel whip.

This commotion was naturally caused by Xia Tong.

He rolled awkwardly, barely dodging the whip's tail strike that was originally aimed at his chest.

Having missed its target, the lion hybrid immediately sensed something was wrong.

Then he felt something hard pressing against his lower back.

It's Xia Tong's Demi-human Queen's Staff!

"Crystallization scattering!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Dozens of sharp pyroxene crystals erupted at point-blank range, piercing his back and tearing his muscles apart.

At such close range, he took almost all the damage from that attack.

The lion hybrid's strength lies in its formidable power and speed; wielding the Greatsword of the Skull, it is virtually unstoppable.

But he has a fatal weakness – defense.

Although hybrids have stronger skin and flesh defenses than humans, they are still just flesh and blood and do not wear armor.

The hard scales on the lion hybrid's body are only on its tail.

"hiss--!!"

The lion hybrid gasped in pain.

He instinctively covered his lower back with one hand, while wildly swinging the greatsword in his other hand.

At the same time, he must keep his eyes constantly on the headless knight Ruthel to prevent her from flashing behind him again to launch a sneak attack.

"Aww! Woohoo! Woohoo!"

The mixed-race people who were watching around them roared angrily when they saw that their invincible leader was injured.

They had no objections when the lion hybrids were dominant earlier.

Now that the lion hybrids have suffered a setback, they immediately felt that Xia Tong and his group were simply bullying the weak with numbers, and were despicable and shameless!

Not to mention that Lord Edgar of Moen had also participated in the battle, and the gauntlet battle had depleted some of the lion hybrid's strength.

Suddenly, a huge commotion erupted.

The nearly one hundred hybrids behind him all charged forward, brandishing their broken woodcutters or long-handled axes, baring their sharp teeth, and roaring threateningly at Xia Tong and the others.

Meanwhile, the seventy or eighty soldiers on the Moen City side were not to be outdone.

They brandished their weapons, accompanied by distinctive footsteps and the thud of halberds striking the ground.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

The uniform metallic clanging sound created a solemn and dignified frequency.
