Beginning as King of Elden

Chapter 8
"click~"

Before he could find a good angle to unload his force, Li Lin's pupils shrank, and he raised the shield in his left hand amidst the lightning and flint, blocking the astonishingly swift strike from the front.

The giant metal curved blade intersected with the calcium biological carapace, causing a scalp-numbing harsh sound.

The owner of the curved blade missed the sneak attack, and immediately flew back at an extremely fast speed.

Li Lin stood up from a half-crouched position and shook his somewhat painful shield-holding left hand.

Very good, it seems that the attributes of these monsters are basically the same as those in "The Ancient Ring".

It's too baby, to sneak attack at the moment of entering the seal.

Li Lin complained in his heart.

He clearly remembered that in the game, the monster would only wake up if he walked near it.

Although the name of this monster in memory is the ownerless hound, it has a human-like body.

He was about [-] meters tall and wore full-body armor that covered his entire head. His face could not be seen.

And his torso and limbs are a bit too slender for a warrior.

The ownerless hound is carrying a giant curved blade in one hand and a hook in the other. It is now on all fours, lying down in a beast-like posture.

Wait... Claws, Curved Blades, Wearing a Worn Cloak.

It turns out that the ownerless hound is the Dariwell that the werewolf said, the shameful traitor?

Before he had time to think, the beast-like humanoid monster pressed his body lower, and Li Lin could tell that his next attack was coming soon.

His figure lying on the ground suddenly blurred.

The next moment, this monster appeared in mid-air in front of Li Lin like a flash at an astonishing speed.

The giant blade came.

Li Lin slowly raised the turtle shell shield. The convex shield blocked the giant blade's slash at an angle of less than 45°.

A slash of this level, even with a giant blade nearly two meters in length, could not even make Li Lin's shield-holding left hand numb under the condition of correct blocking and unloading.

Blocking the attack, at the moment when the ownerless hound's center of gravity was out of balance, Li Lin thrust out the straight sword in his right hand at a not-so-fast speed.

The ordinary sword suddenly vibrated when it touched the armor on the Hound Knight's neck.

Ripple-like waves flashed, and the not-so-thick armor was instantly torn open, and blood spurted from it.

The sword seemed to have wounded an artery, and the blood splashed almost in a spurt at first.

At this time, the ownerless hound landed from the air and flew back as if frightened.

After a few seconds, the blood on the neck stopped sputtering under the effect of strong vitality and recovery ability, but it still didn't completely stop the bleeding.

He was lying on the ground not far away again. Although he couldn't see the monster's expression at this time, Li Lin could feel his anger and fear from his rising and falling body.

A nasty smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and seeing the blue light emanating from the sealed barrier behind the monster, Li Lin gently threw out the shield in his left hand.

—The tortoise shield rolled down in front of the ownerless hound.

The monster lowered his head and glanced at the shield quickly, then immediately raised his head again to stare at Li Lin.

The man in light armor stretched out his empty left hand towards him, and the lips exposed under the helmet evoked a contemptuous and malicious smile.

"..."

Dariwell's throat let out a beastly sound of extreme anger.

He suddenly chiseled the giant curved blade into the ground, and his relatively slender, tall and thin body burst out with great strength, and rushed towards Li Lin quickly!
The giant curved blade rubbed against the ground, producing an astonishing fire.

Almost in the blink of an eye, this strange and handsome giant curved blade with a blazing fire came from bottom to top with a terrifying momentum, and slashed fiercely at Li Lin, who was holding a sword in one hand, from a strange angle. !
The moment before the curved blade was lifted from the ground and slashed out, Li Lin had already completely predicted the trajectory of the sword.

This attack has already used all the strength of the hound knight named Darylville, and there is no possibility of changing his move.

Sliding forward to the right, the giant curved blade passed by the left side of Li Lin's body. The flames set off by this blow made Li Lin's left side of the body feel hot and stinging through the armor.

The gale brought by it even burned his chin exposed under the helmet at a distance of more than ten centimeters.

Passing by the ownerless hound, Li Lin casually sheathed the straight sword in his right hand.

For a long time to come, his weapon will be this giant curved blade named [Hound's Tooth], and this straight sword from miscellaneous soldiers will no longer need maintenance.

Unhurriedly bending down to pick up the turtle shell shield that fell on the ground, Li Lin even took the time to pat off the dirt on the shield.

In the future, there will be very few boss-level enemies that can be dealt with with one hand holding a sword.

If there is another good sword that I can dual wield...

Forget it, Li Lin quickly dismissed this thought from himself.

You only have one life, and you can be reincarnated if you die in the game. If you die here, you are really dead. Let's use the combination of sword and shield honestly.

In several highly realistic virtual battle-oriented games, he has the impression that many top players have somewhat eccentric personalities.

In other words, even with the function of harmonious bloody elements, it is really difficult to guarantee that such players will not have any psychological problems if they continue to kill tens of thousands of human-shaped or alien monsters in high-intensity battles?

What's more, Li Lin has always patched bloody patches as soon as he can...

Regarding this issue, in addition to many corresponding policies, the world of Li Lin's previous life even issued relevant laws.

[Holding Rune: 6450]

Although the limbs and torso were slightly slender, Darrywell's body was still very tall compared to normal people and fell to the ground, and the wound on his neck was hit with precision again.

The blood flowing out from the broken parts of the armor formed a pool of blood on the ground.

"[Hound's Tooth]:
Type: big curved sword
Main attack method: slashing

Combat Skill: Hound Sword Skill
Weight: 11.5 kg
Stamina Required: 18
Dexterity required: 17
Strength correction: D
Dexterity Correction: C
Additional effect: Bleeding"

Li Lin picked up the giant curved blade held on the corpse.

This weapon is quite huge, the hilt is half a meter long.

The body of the sword has dangerous twists and turns, even if it is held quietly in the hand, people can feel its ferocious cutting power and bloodletting ability.

I tried waving it, and it was a little heavy, but still acceptable.

Nodding in satisfaction, Li Lin threw the straight sword he used before into the fourth-dimensional chrysanthemum as a dispensable spare weapon.

After upgrading several levels, Li Lin's power has now reached 18 points. The runes he currently holds are enough to upgrade two more levels. If his dexterity is two points lower, he can call Melina for him when he returns to Blessing. Plus.

At the end of the battle, he remembered the conversation he had with the half wolf.

Hook claw, big sword, wearing a shabby cloak...

The relevant memories in this area of ​​Ningmgfu are indeed too old. He didn't expect that the Darylville mentioned by the werewolf was the ownerless hound in his memory.

It is obviously a curved blade, why is it called a big sword.

Brother Wolf's vocabulary is a little lacking.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Lin swung the newly acquired heavy-duty curved blade named [Hound's Fangs], cut off Daryl's right hand with the claw, and put it in the chrysanthemum of the fourth dimension.

Judging by Brother Wolf's appearance, he probably wasn't planning to take him back alive. He said that he would provide some gifts for giving information, so let's take this right hand with claws as a token.

While it was still dark, Li Lin summoned the spirit horse Torret, preparing to hand over the message and token to Blaze in exchange for a thank you gift before dark.

It feels like a very strong npc, the thank you gift shouldn't be too cold, right?

Torret was very fast, holding a giant curved blade and beheading a few roadside soldiers who lost their minds and attacked him. Li Lin returned to the forest before dark.

"Snapped."

He stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers.

After more than ten seconds, Li Lin thought to himself that if Brother Lang didn't show up again, his actions would look stupid.

Fortunately, just after thinking about it, the next moment, Blazer's figure appeared at the corner of the ruins not far away, walking towards him.

Li Lin had already taken out the left hand and hook of the ownerless hound that he had chopped off.

"...As expected of someone recognized by Torret." The half-wolf warrior looked a little speechless, "I didn't expect you to deal with him directly. That's okay, this is what he deserved."

Taking the bloodstained left hand and claw, Blazer reached into his cloak.

"This is the thank you gift I said before, thank you for your help, please accept it."

A bright silver stone was handed over by him.

[Colorless Forged Stone]?
This is a rare item in Ring of the Ancients that can be used to strengthen weapons at the blacksmith.

After taking the stone, before he could thank you, he heard the werewolf continue.

"By the way, there is one more thing... If you continue to go north, when you arrive at Rhea Lucaria, you can tell him that you are the person I introduced, and he should know I’ll give you some preferential treatment.”

"Thank you."

"There's no need to be polite. After all, it's done me a favor."
