[The Magician Luo Jieer]

Unlike a certain person with dangerous fetishes, he is a character within the Elden Ring and is actually quite nice, a helpful and kind-hearted person.

If you only play the main storyline, he should be the first character to help players challenge the boss. I wonder how many people were able to defeat Gundyr in the Elden Ring thanks to him.

Learned and helpful, Luo Jieer has almost no flaws, except perhaps in his love life, which might be a point of contention.

He was designed by Gong Qiying to appear regularly in front of the Fog Gate of the ominous demon, but the appearance of the summoning talisman takes time, so You Fei and the others have not been able to see it yet.

While Te Pi was dawdling outside changing clothes, he discovered the summoning talisman and chose to summon, but he rushed in before Luo Jieer appeared.

Unexpectedly, the other party happened to appear at this critical moment.

It feels like it was destined!

As soon as Luo Jieer appeared, he swung his Rogier's Rapier. Before he could stab the Ominous Demon, the Weapon Skill [Glintstone Arc] attached to the weapon was already activated, and several azure magical radiant swords floated in mid-air!

[Weapon Skill: Glintstone Arc]

The Weapon Skill used by the Magic Knight serving the Caria Royal Family allows their magical swords to float in the air and form a semi-circle, automatically attacking enemies.

Magic Knight are accustomed to taking a large step forward after activating their Weapon Skill, unleashing a powerful Thrust Attack on the enemy.

Sometimes, Backstab is just that simple, unpretentious, and endearing.

The ominous demon's giant hand was slamming down towards Te Pi; if it hit, his head would probably explode like a watermelon.

However, at that moment, a whooshing sound came from behind, an attack mixed with the aura of magic and Weapon Skill.

The ominous demon had just sensed the danger when its tail reacted before its body, lashing out with a swift and ruthless whip that struck its assistant Luo Jieer, hard.

"Snort!"

Luo Jieer let out a muffled groan as he was knocked to the ground by the immense force. If the Ominous Demon hadn't already exhausted too much of its strength, this blow might have sent him tumbling off the cliff.

The Thrust Attack missed due to the sudden attack, but the Magic Sword floating in the air was already poised to unleash its Divine Might!

"No, hurry up!" Fan En suddenly pushed You Fei in a hurry. Yuffie immediately reacted and threw the spear in her hand at the enemy with a little force!

They're trying to steal runes from Luo Jieer!

Although the runes obtained from challenging a boss together will be distributed according to the number of people, the adventurer who defeats the enemy last will undoubtedly receive more.

Judging from its appearance, the summoned Luo Jieer was most likely an afterimage. There shouldn't be any kind-hearted people who would go to the gate of the Ominous Demon to draw summoning talismans to help newbies.

Even if Rune is given to Te Pi, it would be a waste to give it to Remnant!

And so, the spear, brimming with fighting spirit and carrying the hopes of the people, went straight toward the ominous demon.

As it touched and pierced the chest of the ominous demon, the Magic Shining Sword also struck successfully!

People's eyes widened instantly!

"!"

The ominous demon trembled, as if it had used up all its strength, and its physical strength and life force had been completely exhausted.

However, he did not fall to the ground and become a corpse, but slowly transformed into scattered golden light, drifting towards the distant sky.

"Those Tarnished obscurity are indeed descendants of Warrior; they should not be underestimated."

His voice didn't carry the anger of defeat; instead, it gave off a sense of calm, as if he were being watched by a venomous snake that would relentlessly hunt him down.

"I will remember you, Tarnished, you who are manipulated by the fire of ambition."

"Be afraid of the darkness lurking in the shadows."

"Ominous signs will not let you off the hook."

The ominous demon's body completely transformed into a stream of light and vanished, and its voice also disappeared from people's hearing.

We've defeated a formidable foe!

This should have been an exciting event, but instead of cheering, people stared at the direction in which the other party disappeared.

Then they all shuddered.

"What's going on? Judging from what he said, it seems like there will be other ominous demons attacking us after he dies?" Yi Sha said calmly. "So, 'ominous demon' wasn't his own title after all?"

"No, no, no, why can't we just assume he's not dead?"

Te Pi's slightly trembling voice rang out. He remained lying on the ground, though his body was trembling slightly.

Before the ominous demon vanished, it glanced at him, its eyes containing a myriad of emotions, but which could be summed up in one sentence:

[Tarnished, I could kill you a thousand times and it still wouldn't be enough!]

"Hiss!" Te Pi gasped. The temperature was quite pleasant, but he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. No one else felt it as clearly as he did.

I've got material for tonight's nightmare.

You Fei frowned. In her opinion, the ominous demon she had just fought might have been just an illusion or a clone.

The most direct evidence to support her point of view is that when her attack landed on the other party, the other party did not bleed, but instead scattered golden light spots.

Even when fighting the Overlord Wolnir, bone fragments would fly out, while the Omen Demon only scattered specks of light. That alone says a lot, doesn't it?

Just as people were discussing this, Luo Jieer sheathed his rapier and spoke in a friendly voice that was pleasant to hear.

"That ominous demon is indeed not the real body, but merely an avatar that hinders the Tarnished."

"Even though it was just an avatar, he still stopped countless Tarnished who wanted to enter the city. Among them were many with extraordinary skills who dared to challenge and even successfully defeat him. You can also be called brave and extraordinary."

That's a very comforting thing to say.

All eyes turned to him, their gazes filled with a questioning "Who are you?" You Fei asked, "Thank you for your help earlier. May I ask who you are?"

"My name is Luo Jieer, and as you can see, I am a magician."

Luo Jieer introduced himself politely.

If Leon and the others were here, they would find it quite strange, because the Luo Jieer they know with the same name is a much more eccentric guy, and they never see him being this serious.

"Speaking of which, you are the Tarnished, aren't you?" Luo Jieer stepped forward and asked, "Why have you come to Stormveil Castle?"

We didn't have any particular reason; the White Mask told us to come, so we came.

Regarding the afterimages like the White Mask, the Zane Dungeon adopted a brutal "collective punishment" approach.

If You Fei accidentally chased away the White Mask, she wouldn't see him when she entered Limgrave again, and the adventurers who entered the dungeon with her wouldn't see him either. This is called collective punishment.

Of course, if these adventurers don't go with You Fei, they can still see the White Mask normally.

The adventurers of today haven't discovered this pattern yet, so You Fei still regrets driving away the White Mask and really wants to find a place to atone for her sins.

Just when people didn't know how to answer, fortunately Luo Jieer wasn't the type to pry, and before waiting for an answer, he continued:

"The people of this city are hunting Tarnished to be used as sacrifices for limb extensions. Normally, Tarnished shouldn't approach on their own, right?"

He looked puzzled, genuinely waiting for everyone's answer.

You Fei thought for a moment, and was about Great Rune tell him about how the White Mask had sent them to kill Godrick.

But at that moment, Luo Jieer's yellowish spirit body suddenly began to flicker, appearing very unstable, as if it might dissipate at any moment.

He looked knowing and smiled:

"Ah, the ominous demon has been defeated. My mission as an assistant has come to an end. I look forward to seeing you all again."

"I'll probably stay in Stormveil Castle for the time being."

As he spoke, he showed an expression as if he was thinking about something, and then his body completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

You Fei looked at the spot where he disappeared, thinking that things were finally over. Her body was no longer tense, and the wounds she already had suddenly gushed blood, making her a seriously injured patient in the blink of an eye.

Because she believed that the Insect King Transformation an ugly creature was so shocking that she deliberately didn't change, which resulted in her recovery ability not keeping up.

As she guzzled down the Healing Potion, she glanced at Te Pi and gave him a slightly sinister smile.

"Te Pi, it was you who summoned Luo Jieer, right?"

"Yes, yes." It was the first time Te Pi had been called by his name so directly, and he felt a little uneasy.

You Fei's lips twitched, and she slammed her hand on the ground, shouting:

"No wonder the ominous demon's attacks on me felt so much harder!!!"

She sensed something was wrong from the moment they started fighting. Normally, when she was hit by the ominous demon, it would hurt, but not too much. But today, the pain was so intense that she almost fainted!

So that's why the Ominous Demon was strengthened again after Luo Jieer was summoned!

As if to Zane Dungeon her anger, the reward for defeating the boss finally appeared at this moment.

Unlike the Full Moon Queen's Mimic Tear, which exploded with light points all over the ground, only one light point appeared in front of people.

A golden ray!

Te Pi held his breath and eagerly grabbed the light spot, which turned out to be a crumpled-looking bag.

[Talismans Pouch]

[A shrunken, handmade leather bag possesses a magical power.]

Placing amulets collected during your adventures into this pouch will enhance their power without placing any additional burden on the holder. Each Talismans Pouch can only hold one amulet.

This Finger Reader Crones, which she will give to the king or someone who has the potential to become king.

The Finger Reader Crones for the Two Fingers possessed eternal life; she was said to have been the king's Wet Nurse.

"This is."
