Beginning as King of Elden

Chapter 132 You Shame the Witch Lani
After killing the dragon soldier, Li Lin took the lifting device and went deeper underground.

This is a dimly lit cave.

Through the circulating air, he could feel that there was an exit in front of the cave.

(This is an area that I have never been to or know about, please be careful)
"Ah."

After the giant ants, this time there are frogs more than one meter long.

Because of the large number of them, Li Lin pulled out the Sword of Night and Fire from his back and burned them all with flames.

Stepping beside their dead bodies, Li Lin felt a terrifying curse.

... These guys might be very strong.

After walking out of the cave, Li Lin came to a lake.

This lake is not too big, and there is no new road in front of it except for a small pavilion with a lifting mechanism.

In this place, Li Lin faintly felt the strong scarlet and corrupt atmosphere below.

His chest was slightly hot, and the back of his left hand also became hot.

Combining what Ashmi said, Li Lin guessed that further down, it might be where the ancient kings believed in scarlet corruption.

"Ugh……"

He sighed.

(Do you have any troubles?)
"I didn't see any trace of Lani along the way, I probably lost her."

Also, Crimson Corruption has been bothering him.

Now, he's like a prisoner racing against a ticking time bomb strapped to his body, every minute counting.

(Sorry... Actually, I don't quite understand what the dark road that Lani-sama is talking about. But I have been witnessing your efforts, and if Lani-sama knew about it, she probably wouldn't mind)

Ashmi didn't dare to tell the truth, and could only express it tactfully.

"It didn't really help her. What I'm doing now is just self-satisfaction."

Li Lin laughed at himself, "Although she said she was the knight of the princess, she actually saved my life before and gave me the soul bell and the ashes of wolves."

"The battle celebration is what I was planning to participate in, and it cannot be regarded as my contribution to her. The road of exploring the Eternal City has also given me a lot..."

The knight paused, "Including you."

"Lani bears a lot, but I can't share it for her."

"Iggy and Blazer have also given me a lot of help. Their wish is for me to serve and protect Lani until the last moment, but now, I can't even find a trace of her."

Li Lin picked up the petite Lani doll from his waist and stared at it absently.

"except this."

(...)
Asumi became nervous.

"...It's really annoying."

Lani's doll made a sound.

Li Lin, who thought he was extremely courageous, was so frightened that he almost let go of the hand holding the doll.

The knight opened his mouth, and looked at the puppet in his hand silently.

Is it an auditory hallucination?

"Ugh……"

Lani sighed.

"I really can't repay Blaze, Iggy."

She said in a regretful tone, and then whispered in a tone that Li Lin couldn't hear clearly.

"...Ah, now, maybe I should include you?"

"Okay! Alright!" the witch who gave people a cold breath said in a self-defeating tone.

"I didn't want to let anyone see this appearance..."

"But judging by your silly appearance, I'm afraid you won't give up easily."

The tone of petite Lani's words was obviously different from before, but Li Lin no longer cared about it.

He couldn't see his own face, but the knight could feel his face burning.

It's over, didn't Lani hear all the outrageous things he said before?
Distraught, he questioned Ashmi in his heart.

(Didn't you realize that this doll is Lani?)

In fact, he also understands that this is just a manifestation of his own shame and anger.

Miss Water Drop is just an artificial life, so how can she discover the soul hidden in the doll?
(I...I...I don't know...)
Ashmi stammered and replied in his head.

She is lying.

Li Lin realized this instantly.

As the most perfect silver droplet, Ashimi, who can imitate her master from the spiritual level, also realized at this moment that her host had seen through her lies.

(me……)
The silver teardrop suddenly felt as if he was being roasted on the fire, and it was hard to argue.

Fortunately, the petite Lani who continued to make a sound saved her.

"Since you have been discovered, don't even think about getting out of your body."

"You have shamed the witch Lani, I will not allow you to refuse my next order."

From her mouth, Li Lin heard a hint of gnashing of teeth.

"The shadow of disaster is not far away, I want you to help me get rid of him."

"...Okay." Li Lin forcibly forgot what he said before, "Who is the shadow of disaster?"

"The assassin sent by two fingers." Lani seemed to have calmed down, and her tone became calm.

"I refuse to be manipulated by that kind of existence, curse each other with my two fingers, that's why those assassins came here."

It turned out to be the case.

Therefore, she killed her own body and lived in the form of a puppet.

"What a coincidence." Lani suddenly said again, "The last shadow has come."

Li Lin turned his head to look.

A half-wolf with a red light and a huge sword wrapped in black and red flames full of death came towards him from not far away.

"Blazer?!"

"He's not Blaze." Lani said coldly, "It's just an unselected follower of the Godman, kill him."

Li Lin nodded and looked at
Take lives.

This has become what the Cavaliers do best.

Just in time, let's use this battle to pretend that he didn't say those embarrassing things.

As soon as they fought, Li Lin discovered that this was indeed not Blaize.

I'm sorry to say that, although they look almost identical, this guy's strength is obviously stronger than Blazer's.

His physical toughness and strength are stronger than Blazer's, and the huge sword he wields has an obvious death intent that cannot be touched.

This kind of feeling, Li Lin had seen similar power in the black sword Malikis in his previous life.

— Doomed to die.

This is presumably the power the two-fingered assassin uses to kill Kamito.

Li Lin drew out his two swords, and used the hound's long teeth in his right hand to block the giant sword that was slashing heavily.

"clang!"

The power of the shadow of disaster is really great. In terms of pure power, Li Lin, who is now reborn, will also be suppressed by his giant sword.

However, in combat with swords, there has never been a saying that whoever has the bigger and heavier sword will definitely win.

In the past, judging the opponent's sword path, using four or two strokes of a thousand catties to divert the enemy's offensive, and then deal a fatal blow to the unstable enemy, was one of the most commonly used combat methods by Li Lin when facing armed enemies of the same size. .

In his previous life, he actually changed the step of drawing away the enemy's attack into a shield instead.

But now, he, who has inherited the old man's Wuxin style, has far surpassed himself in his previous life in terms of physical fitness and swordsmanship.

Therefore, whether it is swordsmanship or fighting, he has a new style.

　It's really bad, I didn't go to the gym this week with the thesis and the exam.

　　There are two days left, the exam is over, and the three shifts will resume after the holiday begins.

　　I had an appointment with a friend to watch rugby, but I also canceled it.
