Lords Tutorial Chapter 17

Breaking the large cuffs and blocks on Renna's form only took a few minutes with the help of a serrated saw I had already picked up before. And once her bondages were removed. 

Renna stood up with her, saying with a thoughtful hum. "Do you already have a plan for where you will be ranging towards next?" 

I shrugged and, with a sigh, I said. "I need to ride quickly to go check on someone else I left with the illusion of Sellen... Going away. I can't leave the blind girl to be alone in the middle of a dark cellar."

Renna gave a light nod before she took in my form before she spoke in consideration. "Sellen is a powerful mage in truth. You however are still unproven in mine own eyes... Thou still plans to be the Elden Lord truly?"

I gave her a silent look as though asking what she was getting at. Then I froze as Renna held up a hand, and from within that hand came the twisted golden and red flames of the Flames of Frenzy.

Then within her other hand came the holy golden power of Order. The Golden Order in particular. "I trained another demi-god in the ways of magic... I warned her that magic was dangerous, and that touching upon certain things would only harm herself. She did not listen to me."

Renna extinguished the fell magic before leaving the holy Golden Order magic in her left hand before she said coldly. "Tis would be a fools errand to commit a third great sin. Do you understand foolish disciple?"

I wasn't sure exactly what she meant by a third great sin but I just nodded silently as words meant little in the face of cosmic power.

Still Renna gave me a searching look before she huffed and then said thoughtfully. "You will kill that whelp Godrick in his wretched castle soon won't you?"

"That's my plan. If I don't go through Caelid to get more runes and power anyway." I said bluntly.

Not only was there the major Dragon Communion Church over in Caelid as well. But there was just... So much else in Caelid to say nothing of the mad Demi-God in Radahn there as well.

"Caelid... A place never worse off after The Shattering. Ye would do well to avoid that accursed place even then." Renna warned me before she shook her head and sighed. "But ye are Tarnished, you will go where you please I imagine. I will find you and take you as my student offically once you kill that whelp Godrick."

I smiled thinly and said cooly. "That's an interesting turn around after I freed you from your bonds. I see your care to keep your word is the same as your student Ranni who introduced herself with your own name."

Shaking my head, I turned around and with a hum to myself I just walked up the stairs back up the swampy poisonous land above the Witches Cellar and summoned best boi Torrent before I rode off off to the west.

'Fucking give me a trial my ass. I already got a magic teacher and this witch doesn't want to bother teaching me until I already prove myself a demi-god slayer? Yeah she and Ranni can lick my taint.' I thought with a frown at the realization that Renna likely just wanted to use me.

Would she teach me various other magic disciplines? Almost certainly. But like Ranni, was it worth me being their dog for some scraps? Hell no.

Because for all that we gamer's simped for the dollussy and her four hands that could double fist our dicks, fondle our balls and stick a thumb up our ass. Ranni wasn't nearly a good waifu in any real way honestly.

"Souls games... I just want my DS3 Firekeeper waifu. The fire waifu of this damned world wants to have the entire world burn in flames of madness. The other good waifu wants to kill herself, oh and the baddie dragon waifu already has a guy she is simping for and is killing any Tarnished who makes it to the capital." 

Truly Elden Ring was a desolate land filled with no hope. 

Still knowing that Irina would be fine for at least a day. I decided to just haul ass to deal with Castle Mourne and the Leonine Misbeggoten in order to get the Grafted Greatsword. 

"I hope you don't go hollow and turn to the Frenzy Flame Irina... I will have to kill you if you do." I muttered to myself with a sigh. And as I headed west, as though a prophecy I could see a pillar of smoke from what could only be the Ailing Village.

Which was a village that was consumed by the Flame of Frenzy that has driven it's villagers mad. And after a long moment of thought, I sighed before squeezing Torrents side to speed up as I aimed us for that village.

"Might as well get used to the Flame of Frenzy... I am going to bear it's curse for a long while when I need to throw myself into the Kiln to burn the Erd Tree." I muttered as the village came into view after another couple hours of riding.

The village itself wasn't too big. Like thirty or forty houses hidden in a thick forest and next to the walls that sectioned off Castle Morne's massive estate it seemed.

But forty something houses when almost all of those houses had two to five occupants depending on the family size meant something very pariticular that made my face twitch as men and women armed with pitch forks, axes and other tools came out with literal flaming pits for eyes.

"Fucking aye, there is like at least two hundred fuckers in here... How am I going to get the Flame of Frenzy incantation?" I muttered before I paused as I realized something else.

At least in the game, although the Flame of Frenzy enemies were alot more aggressive and strong. Their 'health pools' or just durability in simple terms weren't really any greater then normal soldiers and civilians.

So with my staff in hand I sighed as I knew a real slaughter was going to happen now.

I came up close to the village on Torrent's back with a finger going to my lips with myself whistling loudly in shriek of a whistle that got all the mad villages attention.

And beyond just the villagers, I saw several guards and milita men that weren't proper soldiers rush out of the village at a dead sprint towards me.

"Alright Torrent, it's up to you." I grunted as I swung myself backwards onto Torrent with him snorting as he seemingly realized what I was doing.

And as the mad poor bastards closed in, I waved my staff with my mana filling the staff with power as a conduit to cast the Glinstone Arc spell in a sharp wave of magic that cut the un-armored poor bastards in half.

Their screams... Were ear ringing, they didn't scream a war cry or even threats at me in particular. No it was a haunting chorus of screams of agony and wanting to inflict that agony upon the rest of the world.

But, as I cut them down. As the Flames of Frenzy left their eye's as their bodies died and their souls returned to the earth to be embraced by the Erd Tree... I found peace in this slaughter.

My arm waved, a magic arc would fly off and at least five people would be cut in half as the village chased me on Torrent who led them on a chase.

Finally... Once my magic was draining dry, my arms tired from swinging my staff to cast my magic. The last poor soul inflicted by the Flame of Frenzy had died by my hand, and I made my way into the Ailing Village.

Within the Ailing Village, in the center of the village was a large bonfire that burned a eye burning gold and crimson and as we approached. Torrent huffed in warning and he shook his head aggressively at the sight of the Flame of Frenzy.

"I know... Here let me put you away to rest for a bit and I will summon you when we leave." I said while patting Torrents side.
