Beginning as King of Elden

Chapter 13
"call……"

After an unknown period of time, after letting out a long breath, Li Lin broke free from the previous state,

He put down his left hand covering his left face, his expression changed from indifference to calm, but his dark eyes were still dim, not as bright as before.

"...Sorry." The first time he spoke, his voice was so hoarse that even Li Lin himself was a little surprised.

"..." Rodrika didn't dare to say anything.

"I didn't know you were, sane, fader... sorry." Li Lin apologized again.

After not speaking properly for too long, Li Lin felt that such a simple narration was a bit difficult.

"It's...it's okay." Rodrika stammered, "Anyway...I'm not injured anyway."

Seeing the shallow bloodstains on her face, Li Lin was silent for a moment, then changed the topic and asked, "Why are you here? There are soldiers who have lost their minds all around. It's dangerous."

"...Everyone has been grafted." Speaking of this topic, Rodrika's expression turned darker, "Those who came to the junction with me and fought for me..."

"I was the only one who escaped... Haha..." Roderica lowered her head again, so that Li Lin couldn't see her expression at the moment.

Her tone became a little broken, "Their hands, feet, and heads were all cut off and turned into parts of spiders."

Li Lin couldn't help but fell silent.

That kind of scene, just thinking about it is enough to make people lose san value.

"Do you know?" Speaking of the desperate past, Rodrika raised her head and asked Li Lin as if she had forgotten her previous fear.

Her expression became a little distorted.

"After being attached to a spider, the person will look like an insect chrysalis."

"It's really amazing..."

"Enough." Li Lin interrupted.

"It's over." Li Lin squatted down and said in a slow voice, "You have already escaped, haven't you?"

"Now that you have escaped from hell, let's try to live well."

Rodrika was silent for a moment, and instead of answering Li Lin, she asked, "Are you acting alone? Are you heading towards Stonewell?"

"Yeah." Li Lin nodded.

A smile of unknown meaning appeared on Rodrika's face, and she continued, "Is it because I listened to some people's nonsense, or is it because you also want to become a part of the spider?"

"If it is, then it's the same as me."

Li Lin looked at him silently, his expression became a little pitiful.

"But I don't have the courage—it's terrible to have my limbs cut off, my head cut off..." Her voice was a little crying.

"I really want to be like everyone else, but I'm really scared."

"I'm too cowardly."

"—If you really think so, those who fight for you are too pitiful."

Gradually regaining the ability to speak normally on weekdays, Li Lin said with a cold expression.

"Since you also understand that you are cowardly and don't know what to do, go hate. Hate the murderer who killed your partner, hate the spider who grafted limbs. In this sad world, weakness is the most pitiful and most pitiful thing. Useless things, stop being cowardly."

"In that way, at least you will look much better than the disgusting look you have now."

The blond girl stared blankly at the black-haired young man with a cold expression, and Li Lin looked at her unflinchingly.

After a long time, she slowly lowered her head and took out a bag of ashes from her pocket.

"I understand. Thank you for your teaching... As a gift, can I ask you to take this child on a trip together?"

"It's too pitiful to let him accompany such a disgusting me..."

"And the soul seems to like you very much. I think this child will be very happy if he follows you."

Am I a physique that is easy to attract souls to like?

After receiving the ashes, Li Lin couldn't help thinking.

"You seem to be very busy. Don't waste any more time on me, a coward. Please take care of yourself. If you are going to Stonewell City, please help convey this to everyone who has become a chrysalis:
'I still love you guys, but I'm not going to be like everyone else. '"

Looking at the girl with a dirty face, Li Lin put away the long teeth of the hunting dog, and took out the spring water in the cloth bag and a piece of clean tanned animal fur from the storage bag.

Moisturizing the fur with spring water, he squatted down and stretched out his hand, gently wiping the dirt on Rodrika's face.

The normal temperature water and the metal gauntlets were both very cold when they came into contact with her face, but something warm came out of her gray heart.

Roderica stared blankly at the movements of the handsome black-haired young man.

His expression is serious, and the movements of his hands are gentle and meticulous.

It took half a minute for the blond girl's face to be wiped clean meticulously.

With fair skin, she is indeed a lovely child with delicate features.

Li Lin was satisfied and took back the fur and cloth bag to the fourth-dimensional chrysanthemum.

Standing up from the ground, Li Lin stopped staying and turned to leave.

"It's not easy to live in this world. Don't give up your life easily." Li Lin said, "You don't have to rely on hatred. Just think about it. Just pretend that I didn't say anything before."

"No matter what, live well."

Having finished talking, Li Lin picked up the tortoise shell shield and said no more, and walked quickly towards the distance without looking back.

Just thank you for breaking me out of that obsession.

Please don't die.

Watching the figure of the young man go further and further away until it disappeared from sight.

"Woooooooo..."

Rodrika couldn't bear the sourness welling up her nose anymore, and burst into tears.

------

After killing a group of soldiers, and wielding the sword to revitalize the blood again, only half an hour has passed, but the mood of killing life with the sword is completely different.

Previously, taking someone's life had become a mechanical repetitive motion, like a dull job that must be done to make a living.

The only fun is chasing that weird 'illusion', full of indifference to life.

And now, after talking to Rodrika, Li Lin has become more determined to climb the golden tree, recast the ring, and restore this chaotic and bloody era.

Driven by this determination, Li Lin miraculously could no longer experience that 'illusion'.

It's like the blade is no longer just mechanically harvesting life, but wielding it for some kind of noble goal.

...Although I think so, no matter what the excuse is, this is different from the virtual game in the previous life. Deprivation of life is deprivation of life after all, and it is by no means something that can be easily let go with the so-called noble purpose.

Even if what he killed was only a soldier who lost his sanity and would only take the initiative to attack strangers passing by, he had already made up his mind to be killed by others.

With such a mood, despite the similar movements and the same panel attributes, Li Lin also felt that the dancing of the hound's long teeth became more relaxed.

As the attributes become stronger... Maybe the killing technique has also improved a little.

The action of killing soldiers has become more and more easy. If an eight-member team like this is just entering the storm level, if it is besieged, surrounded by the main attack of the spear knight holding a large shield and other miscellaneous soldiers, He was even in danger of dying.

But now, he can easily break up their formation, and with the solid turtle shell shield, he can even kill the entire team without injury.

Loneliness really can make people stronger.

If he was supporting each other with his former teammates, the 82 days would have passed in a blink of an eye, and his strength would not have grown so exaggeratedly.

Continuing to walk forward, after a long time, Li Lin finally saw the light of blessing again in the distance of his vision.

He let out a long breath, his body was still in good condition, but mentally he felt tired as if from the soul.

Take a good rest here...

Li Lin couldn't help thinking so.

There were only sporadic soldiers on this section of the road. Li Lin called out the spirit horse Toret, and galloped towards the light of blessing.

According to vague memory, after arriving at this blessing, the storm level should finally be almost finished, right?
For a full 82 days... 82 days of uninterrupted killing, he actually came out of this hell alone.

Although this piece of hell was created by himself.

"Haha."

Li Lin couldn't help laughing at himself.

This kind of complicated and lonely mood... I have never experienced it before.
