Beginning as King of Elden

Chapter 23 Nefeli Lou
After a neighing sound, the black lion with the knife opened its mouth wide and rushed towards him.

Turning around and drawing out the sword, Li Lin slid and combined with the hound sword skills, while dodging the bite, the curved blade cut into its torso.

As soon as the blade entered the body, it was blocked by the iron chain on it.

This blow only took six points of strength, Li Lin had a little leeway in changing his moves, twisted his wrist, the hound's long teeth touched it and left, but it brought out a large piece of flesh and blood.

"Ow!!"

The black lion suddenly let out an angry cry of pain. The beast's eyes were bloodshot, and he turned around angrily and swung the scimitar of his left hand fiercely at Li Lin.

The intention of this attack was too obvious, Li Lin didn't block it, and rolled to avoid the attack.

The falling point of the tumbling was right below the lion, and Li Lin threw out the sword in a crouching position.

Because it used a giant curved blade, the posture of this blow was very awkward, but it avoided the iron chain, and the lion's unarmored body could not be said to have any defensive power.

With a flick of the knee, he jumped out from under the black lion, and Li Lin waved his sword to vibrate blood.

"Whoa..."

A pile of colorful internal organs rolled down from the belly of the black lion with intestines.

The beast trembled all over, took a few weak steps, and then fell down straight.

After returning to Blessing to complete the supplies, and spent the extra runes on the upgrade, Li Lin stepped onto the square again, ready to go further.

Through the square, there is a long upward step.

Climbing up the steps, and then the next square...

There was a group of lightly armored soldiers at the gate of the square, and one of the soldiers even operated a black thing connected to an oil barrel at the gate.

Probably some otherworldly version of a flamethrower.

At this time, these soldiers also saw Li Lin, and one of the soldiers let out a shout, and slowly approached together with several other lightly armored miscellaneous soldiers who were either holding swords and shields or holding large axes.

Li Lin lowered his head slightly and sighed.

Fortunately, during the hellish days at the storm level, he was already used to this kind of mechanical work.

Raising his head again, his expression became indifferent.

Remember to think of more happy things this time...

Li Lin bent down and put out his sword stand.

For him now, it shouldn't take him so long to clean up these guys.

The black light of the curved blade flashed endlessly.

--------

Huge creatures are indeed an annoyance to warriors without powerful ranged means.

Li Lin thought as he stood on the top of this tower and looked at the giant at his feet.

This giant, about ten meters tall, suddenly appeared yesterday when he was fighting on the square. With a large number of miscellaneous soldiers, he almost left him there forever.

Fortunately, the giant's skill was not too sensitive, and finally he was seriously injured and escaped into a hidden building.

"...Are you alright?" The black-haired female warrior asked the blood-stained man who suddenly broke into the place.

Li Lin's helmet was shot off in the melee, revealing his young face.

He looked at himself with a pale face, and after confirming the identity of the faded person through their eyes, he shook his head at himself.

"Thank you for your concern, I won't die." Leaning against the wall, without putting down the giant curved blade and shield in his hand, he reached out to touch the mark on his waist, and launched a restorative prayer.

After confirming that the faded person was not going to seek her help, Nefeli continued to look at her feet.

At her feet lay a lost knight she had just killed.

She lowered her head and said softly to the corpse.

"Be proud of yourself, you are indeed an excellent fighter."

"really."

Li Lin used [Prayer: Recovery] for a while, and finally escaped from the serious injury.

The female faded person in front of her was wearing a tube top and bottoms made of animal skin. The exposed skin had sharp muscle lines, and the explosive power underneath was visible to the naked eye.

Her complexion was between wheaten and brown. While she had a neat temperament, her appearance was not rough, and even a little soft.

Seeing the black-haired female fader whispering to the fallen knight in front of her, Li Lin agreed.

"The knights wearing this full body armor are indeed much stronger than other miscellaneous soldiers. It is a pity that they will fight for Grek."

"Hmm... Faded One, it seems that you are not an accomplice of Gregor."

"It's too uncomfortable to work for such a disgusting guy." Li Lin complained.

Neferi chuckled, "Indeed. My name is Neferi Lu. I'm both a fader and a warrior."

"Carlos, like you, fader, warrior."

"Well. I came here because of the order of my adoptive father. Speaking of which, Gregor is really disgusting, and he even performed the act of "attaching limbs". This is definitely not what a king should do."

"...even the wind is tainted."

[Prayer: Recovery] After running out of focus points, Li Lin took out the blue holy grail dew and drank it all in one gulp.

"The act of grafting is inexcusable," he continued.

"Very good. If you are going to challenge Greco, you can ask me for help... He has defiled the wind, and the defilement is too severe. Even if I help, foster father will definitely turn a blind eye or close one eye."

How can this person speak so that people can't understand.

But it means that you are willing to help yourself.

"Well, thank you very much. I should be able to clean up this square in the past two days. Is Greco behind this square?"

"...?" Nefeli showed a puzzled expression, "What did you say? Cleaned up this square?"

"Yeah." Li Lin was also taken aback, "Yes, speaking of it, I haven't seen you in a while, did you just come here?"

Seeing the unpretentious expression of the young faded man, Nefeli was silent for a moment, and walked out of this hidden room.

The square outside is already a hell-like scene of blood and flesh.

Turning her head, she stared at Li Lin carefully this time.

He is fair-skinned, good-looking, and wears the same armor as the Lost Knight.

——I guess it was just picked off from some unlucky guy here.

He wields a tortoise-shell shield and a giant curved blade.

The color of the curved blade was a little weird, but after looking carefully at this time, Nefeli realized that this color was probably the color precipitated after the blood had been attached for a long time and scattered.

"Fadeer, it seems that you do have the strength to challenge Gregor."

She held back for a while before saying this.

Otherwise... Li Lin complained in his heart.

In the end, he made an agreement with Nefeli that at the same time the day after tomorrow, after he finished cleaning the square, the two would meet again in this hut.

After the memory was over, Li Lin turned his attention to the giant under his feet again.

Giant creatures are indeed distressing, but if you are prepared, they are not much more difficult to kill than other miscellaneous soldiers.

After waiting quietly for more than ten minutes, the giant who was strolling casually in the square finally arrived directly under the tower.

Li Lin jumped up without hesitation.

Ignoring the weightlessness of falling from a high altitude, Li Lin, who had already put away his shield, held the sword in both hands and held it sideways on the left side of his body.

The moment it fell to the neck of the giant's back, the light of the lake flashed.

With one blow, the curved blade sliced ​​out from the other end of the giant's neck.

In order to reduce the fall damage, Li Lin waltzed his sword and inserted the hound's fangs into the giant's body again.

The moment he landed, Li Lin bent his knees and rolled forward.

A little pain in the ankle and knee, but no bone damage.

Swinging the sword to shake blood, two seconds later, the giant's headless corpse fell to the ground with a loud noise.

Turning his head, from this angle, Li Lin realized that the giant's lower abdomen was actually empty.

I don't know if this has anything to do with the mummified soldiers all over the city.

giant……

zombie dog...

A fat man with a big knife covered in bone spurs...

Locust-like lightly armored miscellaneous soldiers...

In the end, Li Lin passed through the entire square in a way that almost slaughtered the city, and came to a glorious stone road guarded by two rows of large statues holding cross spears.
