Looks like I'll have to be careful too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur checked his own 100% Scarlet Rot immunity and sighed again as he studied Radahn below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The general's body was completely encased in golden lion armor—no way for Arthur to implant an Enhanced Philosopher's Stone directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some thought, an idea struck him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Luckily, I found this down in the Siofra River.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled a small vial from his pack: Preserving Boluses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The recipe he'd dug up in the river's depths. It slowed Rot buildup, even cured it outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Arthur first read the description, he had nearly laughed aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this stuff actually worked on demigods, he'd have force-fed Malenia until she choked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why not Radahn, then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well—he simply didn't have enough of the medicine to spare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, it had some value: at least enough to clear Radahn's head for a short while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Arthur's goal now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hefted a heavy crossbow, floated into position above Radahn—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and aimed… on the horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tiny warhorse blinked up at him: Excuse me?! Thanks a lot, pal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bolt punched straight through the animal's skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even through the Rot's haze, Radahn loved that horse deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grief ripped through him. He tilted back his massive head and roared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"WHO KILLED MY HORSE?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur seized the moment, whipping the vial from his robe and tossing it down toward Radahn's open mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bottoms up! …Huh? Why does that feel too heavy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He squinted just in time to see—not the medicine, but a crystal stone tracing a golden arc through the air before plopping neatly into Radahn's gaping maw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Radahn swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crap! That was the Enhanced Philosopher's Stone! The boluses are still in my hand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur froze, then slowly realized—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait… doesn't this technically count as implanting it inside a living body?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant… he'd already succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His original plan had been to feed Radahn medicine first, restore his reason, then negotiate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But somehow, he'd skipped a few steps and gone straight to the finish line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still raging, Radahn bellowed, \"You damn Tarnished, you killed my horse!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur stared at the boluses still in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Eh, may as well throw this in too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another toss, another clean swallow. He activated the crystal stone's absorption as it settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, Radahn's eyes cleared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where… am I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Wailing Dunes, behind Redmane Castle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…And you are?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arthur. Your sister Ranni's follower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her name, Radahn's expression twisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That witch Malenia… she did this to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief silence, memory returned to him in a flood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So—you came to kill me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not quite. Ranni's law is of the stars and the moon. Your gravity magic has sealed the stars, frozen fate itself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see. Then come—face me in battle, and grant me a warrior's death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry to disappoint. What I need is your life and soul to help Ranni regain her body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Radahn blinked. \"Oh? Interesting. So that's why I feel my strength leaking away. I thought it was just the Rot eating me alive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're not angry?\" Arthur asked, genuinely surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why should I be? You act for Ranni—my most beloved sister. For a brother to step aside for her… isn't that only natural?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur was struck dumb. Was Ranni living on a cheat-code protagonist script?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Born royal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prodigy in sorcery, grasping her own path from her mother's magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cherished by both mother and brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chosen by the Two Fingers as a candidate god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only to defy them, stealing the Rune of Death and casting off her flesh to walk free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now blessed with a loyal husband-to-be bent on restoring her fully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Her husband? Oh right—that's me. Never mind then.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me, how is my sister?\" Radahn asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About as you'd expect. The doll's body isn't a good vessel for her soul—she often slips into deep sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fingers' assassins, those Baleful Shadows, we've already cut down most of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now I'm trying to reach Nokron to retrieve the weapon fated to slay the Fingers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah. Then it makes sense you'd seek me. When I die, the stars will flow again, and Nokron will be revealed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur gave a small nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, we've spoken enough. I can feel my power fading. Time to say goodbye, young one. You've done well—for Ranni's sake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Though you bastard, you killed my horse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur winced. Bro, can we not bring that up? I was this close to squeezing out a tear, and you ruined it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched as Radahn's massive frame slowly crumbled, dissolving into starlit dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Farewell… brother-in-law.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Radahn blinked, then burst into booming laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother-in-law, eh? Hah! You cheeky brat. I should've cut you down where you stood. If you've got the guts, chase after me. I'll be watching!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His laughter echoed across the barren dunes long after his body was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the night sky blazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, stars streaked across the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some crashed down into the Lands Between; others burned trails toward unknown horizons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Caria Manor's tower, Ranni stirred from her slumber, gazing at the meteors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Softly, she whispered: \"Brother…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Grand Library, Rennala lifted her gaze from the amber egg to the same sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My child… Can you be born anew?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the Lands Between, sane or mad, folk raised their heads to the falling stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All except one man—Redmane Castle's commander, General Jerren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a damn minute—where's my general? My big, star-shattering general? It's not even time for the funeral yet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no idea who killed Radahn. Arthur had swooped in on a broom, gone as quickly as he came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that Arthur cared. He watched the stars, pocketed Radahn's drops, and departed the barren wastes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Visit my patreon for more chapters\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Advance 30+ Chapters Available\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002FWhiteDevil7554\u003C\u002Fp>",970,"2026-06-06T04:19:46.103Z",1,"novelbin.me","bac55db3bb0e51e685c63f70222398469b24e04937586be8b37a65b59a07e469","starting-at-hogwarts-logging-into-elden-ring-chapter-47","starting-at-hogwarts-logging-into-elden-ring-chapter-45",281,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-at-hogwarts-logging-into-elden-ring-cover.jpg"]
