Beginning as King of Elden

Chapter 67 In this world, there is no shelter for us (thanks to Jkolong's rudder)
Riding on the horse all the way, Li Lin could already see the outline of the Kalia Fortress in his field of vision.

Sure enough, even before entering this area, he had already seen the terrifying magic trap activated by unknown creatures.

The ice-blue giant magic arrows fell from the sky in an endless stream, covering a quite large area, and their power was enough to crack rocks and earth.

After opening the scroll, Li Lin began to study the arrangement of magic traps.

Fortunately, there is no concept related to magic in this scroll, it is only designed for people to avoid these magic traps.

Speaking of which, isn't Mr. Iggy just a blacksmith, and he also left the Kalia Fortress, why is there such a thing of great strategic significance.

And the badge he gave himself...

I don't know if the answer can be found in the magic tower he mentioned.

Leaning on the scroll, Li Lin passed through the city entrance surrounded by magic traps without any risk.

Walking to the door, in front of you is a stone road with hooded statues on both sides, and there is a pool not far in front.

This is almost the same as the scene in the vague memory, but there are more pyroxenes on both sides of the road.

Li Lin walked towards the pool.

……That is?
On the huge pillar beside the pool, there are a few huge palms that make people lose their san value.

This is the palm alone, with no limbs, not even the presence of the wrist.

Hanging on the wall, it looks like an extremely huge meat spider.

The monster's fingers were very long, its skin was gray-black, but its nails were gradually dark blue and purple. Apart from the rings on its fingers, there were many disgusting pustules.

The incomplete memory belonging to Carlos is awakened.

This is the help brought by the red-haired hero from the capital.

The royal family of Kalia needed power, so these spider-like finger monsters also became Kalia's power.

However, these hand monsters would not appear in open-air squares.

...and the dense fog that filled the air, as well as the faint sense of ominousness and depression.

This is what Mr. Iggy said, 'You may not see what you want to see'.

Li Lin clenched the hilt of the transformed Hound Fang.

Yes, this world is already so incomplete and deformed.

He's not Carlos, he doesn't expect it.

Carlos didn't know much about the opponent monsters. He only knew that these monsters who fought for Kalia were afraid of fire.

Continuing to walk forward, the hand monsters really noticed Li Lin, and jumped off the pillar one after another.

After landing, these big hands moved towards him quickly like spiders, and their fingers stood on the ground with the same height as him.

They move very fast. This body structure does not have a strong cushioning ability. They can fall from a high place without being injured, and their physical fitness and defense are probably also very strong.

Li Lin tapped the mark with his left hand, and made a false lead in the air.

The mysterious black flame flashed away in the void, and then the giant curved blade in the right hand was ignited like a fire stick soaked in oil, burning blazingly.

These hand monsters are fast, but knights are faster than them.

Flexibly shuttled between the huge fingers, Li Lin flashed an afterimage, dodged their scratching or smashing attacks, and at the same time turned around and danced the sword, slashing across their bodies with the blade as if lightly.

As expected, the physical strength of these monsters is very high. With his current strength, he can only penetrate a few inches into the flesh with each sword when he wields the heavier and sharper hound tusks.

Although it was because he did not use powerful sword skills, this level of slashing was enough to directly cut off the neck of a soldier protected by weak armor.

Fortunately, Black Flame was unexpectedly useful on these hand monsters.

Just by being touched by this flame, black flames will spread and burn all over the body of the hand monsters. They will immediately fall to the ground and roll around in pain, but they cannot extinguish the black flames no matter what.

Just like Amaterasu...

Before the duration of the black flame blade expired, Li Lin rushed to the pool.

Here, there are many small hand monsters like big spiders entrenched.

They seem to have forcibly pieced together two big hands, and they are more like spiders than giant hand monsters that are taller than people.

The blade of the black flame slashed across like a meteor, and Li Lin cleaned up the monsters by the pool in no more than ten seconds.

Swinging the sword, Xue Zhen stood by the pool.

This is supposed to be a place where birds are singing and flowers are fragrant. By the pool, some small animals can often be seen.

These small animals will avoid strangers when they approach, but they often do not escape from Carlos who is still young.

There is juanjuan running water in the pool, which is crystal clear under the sunshine.

Carlos is a very determined and willpower boy, never lazy in sword practice.

Whenever the daily training is over and he is exhausted physically and mentally, he will come to this pool to rest.

But now...

Thick fog shrouded the place, and all the small animals disappeared.

In its place are hideous, spider-like finger monsters.

The scene in the trance memory coincided with this place, and the contrast was so huge that it was distorted. He almost couldn't grasp Carlos's past memory, and wanted to let it go between his fingers.

I'll be King Elden and change all that.

Although Carlos' soul has completely disappeared, he still said to himself silently.

I promised you.

--------

Countless hand monsters...

The ones hidden underground, the ones hanging among the rocks, the ones above the buildings, and the ones crawling freely on the side of the road.

Really annoying.

But there is also an inexplicable motivation driving him, making him want to kill these ugly monsters.

Dodging the sneak attack of a giant hand monster that suddenly came out of the ground and wanted to catch him, Li Lin ignited the black flame again and burned it to death.

Thanks to Black Flame's strong restraint against monsters, this action didn't take him too much time.

After clearing the square, he stepped into the city buildings with the same gloomy atmosphere.

On the first floor of the nearest building, he saw a faceless man in a cloak lying on the ground, not knowing what to do.

After beheading countless lives, Li Lin is now able to judge a person's state through a certain indescribable aura.

Even just looking at such a back, he could sense that this guy had lost his mind and turned into a monster-like existence.

He walked forward quickly, and before he could turn around, Li Lin swung his sword and took his life away.

Surprisingly, the blood he spattered was white.

【He is also the son of Platinum】

Letina's voice suddenly sounded beside her.

"Son of Platinum?" Li Lin was slightly startled by the sudden appearance of the voice, and then looked carefully at the corpse.

Indeed, he had no legs, and the reason why he was lying on the ground seemed to be because he had no legs to stand on.
