Beginning as King of Elden

Chapter 165: Planting the Fire of Chaos
So heavy.

No way, can't you push the door open?
"The door will surely open for you."

Just now, Irena said this to him.

The next moment, the red and yellow engravings on the door lit up.

A stream of lava-like flames fell, and the gate began to burn.

At this time, with another force, accompanied by the burning pain, the door of madness was opened for him.

"Squeak..."

The yellow fire was burning, and the ferocious three fingers, which looked like two fingers, carved patterns on the ground with the fingertips that bloomed with dazzling yellow marks.

The knight stood in front of Three Fingers.

Distant fates gather here.

The yellow fire suddenly went out, and the secret room was plunged into darkness.

After a few more seconds, a dim yellow light came on.

The slender three fingers stretched out the palm towards him.

Yellow flames reflected in the knight's eyes.

The knight covered in red stripes took a step forward and greeted him.

come on.

The slender three fingers directly held his body.

A little hot.

"boom!"

On Sanzhi's skinny, brown-black skin, the yellow fire patterns shone intensely.

As the fingers retracted, the chaotic yellow fire burned fiercely on his body.

The chaotic flames imprinted on his body, along the skin, into the bone marrow, and deeply rooted in his soul.

……

He was prepared for great pain and madness.

As a result, is it only to this extent?
His body was covered in flames, and his eyes glowed yellow.

The flames burning both on the surface of the body and inside the body are heart-wrenching, but for the current knight, if this is the trial of madness, then it is nothing more than mediocrity.

The body of the three fingers gradually dissipated, but the knight's body still stood upright.

Scorched fire spots covered half of his body, mixed with scarlet markings.

As Mr. Se Lian expected, after the flame of chaos was deeply planted, the scarlet corruption in his body was completely suppressed.

The flames of madness burned from the inside out, and the scarlet corruption completely stopped wriggling.

Whispers and whispers no longer eroded his brain, and the knight gained unprecedented clarity.

that's it?
Li Lin looked at the red-spotted left hand in disbelief.

The red spots on the hands stopped growing, and even showed signs of subsiding after being covered with burnt brown-red marks.

Contrary to imagination, apart from the amazing pain when receiving the flame, the flame of chaos did not bring him too much discomfort.

The pain and frenzy were indeed unbearable for ordinary people.

However, for a knight who has experienced dragon flames, fought against scarlet corruption, escaped from the way of Shura, and even resurrected from the dead, he can already stand upright and bear this level of burden.

After calming down, he realized that the fire of chaos was still burning in his body, constantly bringing maddening pain.

However, this level of pain can only make his brain more clear.

Li Lin put on the light goat armor again solemnly.

He came alive.

Breaking free from the scarlet hell that was about to lose himself, the knight regained his life.

----------

Walking out of the gate again, seeing the knight's clear eyes, the girls almost shed tears.

"Congratulations, the flame has been deeply rooted in your body."

"Please burn me with that flame and make me your witch."

Irene told him so.

The whispers and whispers faded away, his mind returned to clarity, and logic and rationality returned to his brain.

"How can you bear that kind of fire?"

Irena was silent.

Perhaps something unexpected happened to the city lord, the knight didn't dare to mention him, so he just said so.

"Let me take you to the round table hall. There is also... a blond girl who is somewhat similar to you, as well as a hard-spoken and soft-hearted Mr. Blacksmith, and many faders who are working hard to change the world."

"...but those...villagers..."

After a long silence, Irena's tone became choked up.

"Although there are no words, everyone is screaming."

"They said: I was not born into this world voluntarily."

"...I believe in you, you will definitely become the king in everyone's hearts."

The blind girl shed tears.

"Then... where is their king?"

"Misfortune, pain, curse, despair, all evil and pain..."

"Those who are not blessed."

"Who...will be their king?"

The knight fell silent.

As Scarlet's rotten squirming ceased, he gradually remembered those lost memories.

The discriminated son of Platinum, Letina who may have saved his life; the demihuman called Defiler, his best tailor Burke; all the faded people whose eyes have lost their blessed light...

And Lani, who gave up her divine body and waited for him on the far side of the starry sky.

long silence.

The surrounding girls also fell silent, waiting for the knight's answer.

"I……"

The knight took a deep breath.

At this moment, he had a clear understanding.

"I will speak for them and I will be their king."

"But not in a world-destroying way."

He said decisively.

"Insanity can only destroy, not create. This is an absolutely unacceptable path."

"I already hold four big runes. Under the golden tree, the last king's big rune, I will also go to get it."

"The way the ring is repaired is up to me, and I will change everything."

The knight's dark eyes showed a look of indifference.

He gazed into the cheek of the blind woman who couldn't see.

"Please trust me."

"So, you don't have to believe in the Destroyer named Three Fingers anymore, just believe in me."

"Okay?"

Irena held out her hand tremblingly.

Without hesitation, the knight raised his white right hand without red spots, and tightly held the girl's catkin.

"……it is good."

Her tears didn't stop.

But a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The knight laughed too.

he will find it.

A happy ending for all.

How difficult it is to change one's fate against the sky, blood and tears stain the memory of the past.Even if you die a hundred times, you still don't regret it, and your righteousness shines on Yuyuan.

Letting go of Irena's hand, the knight turned around.

Scarlet Corruption was completely suppressed, and all his powers came back.

Next, no one can stop him.

--------------

After finally getting out of the sewers of the royal city, the knight said goodbye to Neferi after thanking her again and again, and asked her to take Irena back to the round table hall.

"Now that your problem has been solved, it's time for me to embark on the path to my destiny."

Standing beside the knight and watching Nefeli and Irena go away together with him, Millicent turned her head and said to him with a forced smile.

"...the path of destiny?"

So suddenly.

"Hmm...I'm going to find Marlenia."

"Right now, I don't know exactly what I'm going to do, but a voice tells me that this is my destiny."

"You are going to embark on the road of becoming a king, and I will also embark on my journey."

"...Is this something you decided to do on your own?"

The knight asked the red-haired girl.

"Well, it's my own decision."

The red-haired girl smiled at him.

"Okay." He nodded, "I will definitely see you again, when the time comes,"

"At that time, you must have become the king, right?" Millicent said to the knight shyly, showing a trace of yearning.

And she...at that time...

"Your swordsmanship is really strong." The knight smiled gently, "Please also believe in yourself, you are the most beautiful flower bud, I look forward to you, blooming a delicate flower that belongs only to you."

"It only belongs to me..." Millicent's expression became complicated.

"Huh?" Seeing Millicent's expression, the knight was a little puzzled.

"It's nothing." She came back to her senses, "Thank you for taking care of me all the way."

Li Lin laughed dumbfounded, "What are you talking about?"

"Obviously you are the one who protected me all the way here."

He bowed deeply.

Millicent tried to avoid it in a panic, but finally endured it and accepted the knight's etiquette.

"This kindness, plus the previous life-saving grace, I will never forget."

"If you need any help, please come to me."

The red-haired girl finally showed relief on her face.

"thanks, I will……"
