Beginning as King of Elden

Chapter 148

A big yellow dog with a simple, honest and lovely appearance rushed to his side, calling out to him kindly, begging for his hug.

Li Lin stretched out his hand subconsciously, wanting to accept the big dog's hug from the ground.

Thoret made a flexible change of direction and led his master to dodge the bite of the dinosaur dog that was flying towards him.

The surrounding monsters gradually surrounded, almost completely surrounding the spirit horse.

Although Torret is a spirit horse whose performance is far beyond ordinary, it is not the type that is good at fighting. After kicking away several corrupt dependents, he finally fell into a tight siege and was bitten by the sawtooth of a dinosaur dog and a shark.

Seeing the nightmarish mount under his crotch being attacked, the knight finally came to his senses and subconsciously swung the blood blade.

Gentle dogs and loyal servants were instantly slain by his blade.

……

The soul seemed to be chopped in half abruptly.

On the one hand, the knight understands that this is just his illusion, and he is still in a dangerous swamp of corruption.

On the one hand, he can feel that if he relaxes his restraint on the desire to kill at this moment, he will soon be completely unable to distinguish the difference between illusion and reality, and will truly fall into the endless purgatory that will never come out.

How to do……

Obviously already has enough power to kill a demigod alone.

But he couldn't beat himself, couldn't beat the corruption that went deep into his bones and soul.

The knight's teeth were bleeding from being bitten by himself, he abruptly stopped the half-cut blade, and tried his best to fight against the whispers that made him unable to hear any other voices.

Thoret finally couldn't help being overly injured, temporarily disappeared from reality, and returned to the spirit world.

The knight fell off his horse in embarrassment and fell into the mud of the swamp.

Falling into the red mud, Li Lin rolled over in embarrassment, and the smelly mud covered his body.

The companions around embraced him with concern on their faces, but the knight was like a bereaved dog, desperately dodging with pain on his face.

The bloody world became blurred, and it became increasingly difficult for him to see the whole world clearly.

……

He won't give up.

He is Li Lin, a soul from another world.

It has been a year since he came to this borderland, and he has crossed countless death realms.

Ominous ghosts, golden kings with limbs, queens of the full moon, generals of broken stars...

He carries the hope of becoming a king.

On the other side of the stars and the moon, there is a princess who regards him as her only king and is waiting to meet him again.

Sparks burned in the knight's dazed pupils.

He slapped the holy mark on his waist, and the black flames of the hunting god ignited on the knight's own flesh.

The world has been distorted, he no longer trusts his eyes and ears, and runs away by instinct.

Without checking, his arm armor was tangled in fine worm threads, and his unstable body was suddenly torn down by a force that usually seemed extremely small.

The world was spinning, and the knight in light goat armor fell into the mud of the swamp again.

The supposedly fair cheeks were half erythema and half mud, and the black flames that hunted the gods gradually dissipated, leaving only the scorched and severely burned skin.

The hallucinations in his eyes were gradually beginning to dissipate, but his companions had completely surrounded him and extended a helping hand to him.

The knight did not give up his struggle, and new scars continued to appear on his tattered body. However, he relied on adjusting his posture and the tough goat armor to firmly protect his vital points.

He could no longer feel the physical pain. His left hand, which was completely marked by red spots, tightly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Do you want to draw your sword?

Wait a moment...wait a moment...

He's going to get over it soon...

A tall angel with two huge wings on its back suddenly embraced him and was about to give him a gentle kiss.

Soon...I'll get over it soon...

The upside-down world is gradually returning to normal, and the angel's white wings are slowly turning black.

The giant crow's sharp claws cut into the gaps in the light goat's armor and dug into the knight's flesh.

The monster opened its huge beak and was about to bite off the knight's head.

Li Lin's turbid eyes were unfocused, looking through the giant crow into the unknown distance.

The noble waterfowl appeared.

She jumped up gracefully on one foot and jumped from the calm lake.

Like dancing for the knight, the waterfowl turned gorgeously in mid-air.

Her wings fluttered gracefully, slapping the water, dancing at a dizzying speed.

The angel with its huge wings turned into pitch black was knocked down by the waterfowl, and fell into the azure lake whose color gradually turned scarlet.

The dead giant crow let go of its sharp claws, and the powerless knight fell from mid-air, falling into the mud again.

What a mess.

Li Lin lay blankly in the bloody swamp, looking up at the misty red sky.

He made it through again.

Did you really make it through?

Or, has he completely fallen into hallucinations?
The beautiful water bird turned into a human form, and the red-haired girl holding a scimitar walked in front of the knight, blocking his view of the sky.

"...Are you also troubled by that curse?"

Her expression is complicated.

The girl has red hair, and her eyes are dark yellow like snakes.

On the same white cheeks as the knight, there are lesion-like white bruises.

"Are you human?"

The knight was lying on the ground, asking her with blank eyes.

"You look like you are more serious than me."

The red-haired girl did not answer his question and said helplessly.

The girl helped him to the nearest blessing, and feeling the warmth and softness coming from the blessing flame, the knight finally came to life.

"Thank you." He thanked the girl. "You saved my life."

She shook her head, "I was going to fight those monsters too."

"It's me who should say sorry to you. I really want to help you, but now I can't protect myself."

"Are you also... cursed by scarlet corruption?"

Li Lin looked at the white bruises on the girl's face.

"Yes. That curse is also crawling inside my body."

Seeing that the knight's demeanor returned to normal, the red-haired girl stood up and prepared to leave.

"I wish you less nightmares."

"...Excuse me, do you know where Gewei is?"

Looking at the back of the red-haired girl, the knight asked with a shy face.

He's out of time.

"Ge...Wei...?"

The red-haired girl stopped.

"A very familiar name."

"familiar?"

"Hmm... Scarlet corruption can affect people's memory. I can't remember a lot of things. It's probably a person I know very well."

"..."

Li Lin was silent.

Has his memory been affected?

Presumably, he seemed to have forgotten a lot of important things.

"It's probably a dilapidated house in that direction." The red-haired girl suddenly pointed to a place. "I think."

"Thank you...can you tell me your name?"

After watching her point the way for him, and then turn around to leave again, Li Lin finally asked.

"Millison."

　It’s so annoying, folks, do you know about the live broadcast of white supremacists shooting people of other races? The supermarket and parking lot where the gunman went, and the place I often go to called Cherry Street where the Chinese Super League is. It's super like, it's too scary, if I'm here, I'll be sure.

　　A skilled rifleman will immediately find a corner when he enters a building, and he will fill up his gun. It will be useless for me to practice for another ten years.
