A Short and Powerless Chapter

The sky slowly darkened…

Nepheli had pretty much cleared out the corpses in the city, but the blood-red ground was likely a workload Nepheli couldn't handle alone…

When Nepheli finished with everything and went to inform Lin Luo about the situation, she surprisingly saw the two of them kissing. This was undoubtedly a critical hit to her. Seriously, I'm here diligently cleaning, and you're over here falling in love with someone else.

Nepheli felt her life turn dark. She couldn't win a fight against them, and she still had to obey others. Fine, she'd just continue cleaning.

As long as Godrick was dead, she would have her day of glory.

Nepheli quietly glanced at the two of them and hurried away.

In truth, the city hadn't been completely cleared. There were still some Grafted Scions within the city who had not been purged.

However, most of the soldiers had been killed by Lin Luo, and the remaining stragglers were either subdued by Nepheli or chopped up.

As dusk deepened, Lin Luo had no intention of sleeping anyway.

He planned to take advantage of the remaining time in the evening to deal with Godrick first.

Speaking of which, with such a huge commotion earlier, didn't Godrick pay any attention to this side? Or perhaps, he was just too confident in his own soldiers…

But that made sense. The only one foolish enough to challenge the Goddess of War head-on and face Starscourage was Godrick. His strength might not be great, but his self-confidence certainly was.

"Lin Luo… if you're tired, you should rest first…"

Melina, seeing Lin Luo about to set off again, couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"You've already been fighting for so long today… I don't want anything to happen to you…"

"I… I'm actually not…"

Lin Luo was about to refuse, but upon seeing Melina's concerned gaze, he swallowed the words he was about to say.

"Mhm… Alright then…"

Lin Luo nodded, and Melina showed a happy smile.

Although Lin Luo's physique and focus were very high, after fighting for so long, he would naturally feel some fatigue.

They reached the city wall via the lift, as the… environment downstairs wasn't exactly pleasant.

The two of them sat on the city wall, leaning against Torrent.

(Torrent: "Where's my horse rights?!")

Lin Luo didn't think of anything strange. He only knew that after closing his eyes, fatigue seeped from his limbs into his skin and bone marrow. In an instant, his limbs and bones felt soft and light.

Soon, Lin Luo fell asleep.

Melina looked at Lin Luo's profile and, for some reason, impulsively kissed him.

Melina felt her face grow warm, but she quickly calmed down. She simply leaned gently on Lin Luo's shoulder, her eyes slightly closed, and rested for a moment.

The next day, Lin Luo woke up early.

Lin Luo first went into the city to find the relics of the cocoon swarm, and then took the opportunity to slay the remaining Grafted Scions and the Erdtree Avatars below the city.

Now, only Godrick remained.

Godrick was probably busy with grafting and had no idea about the situation in the city.

Perhaps his usual confidantes wouldn't disturb Godrick at this time, as they wouldn't want to anger him. If they were accidentally turned into part of a graft, it wouldn't be worth the trouble.

"It's time to find Godrick. After this is resolved, I should head to Liurnia."

After killing the last Grafted Scion, he walked directly towards Godrick's location.

The original plan was to kill Godrick and leave, but plans couldn't keep up with changes. Since he had already killed so many people, he might as well clean up thoroughly and make this place his future foothold.

Lin Luo was quite familiar with Godrick's whereabouts.

Given how much Godrick treasured that dragon corpse, he wouldn't allow anyone to enter.

He left the room and followed the main road forward, quickly arriving at Godrick's boss room.

He slowly drew the Black Sword with his right hand and took out Glintstone Staff of Azur with his left.

"You're not bringing me along again!"

At this moment, Melina's voice rang out, tinged with a hint of annoyance.

"Ah…"

Lin Luo suddenly snapped back to attention, turned his head, and saw Nepheli. Behind her, Melina was puffing out her cheeks, looking at Lin Luo with an angry expression.

"I just wanted to… take a look first… I accidentally walked here…"

Lin Luo looked up at the sky, whistling.

"I can help…"

Melina said, "Don't use your previous words to shut me down! I don't want to be a vase…"

As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer…

"I'm sorry…"

Lin Luo naturally knew that Melina was very strong. After all, when he first fought the Malignant Lord in the Royal Capital, Melina had helped him a lot…

It couldn't be said that way either, because Melina did almost all the damage output; I... was practically slacking off.

Now that I've grown stronger, naturally, I don't want Melina to get hurt.

"You don't need to apologize, I know... you're also... worried about me..."

Lin Luo gently patted Melina's head, remaining silent. Everything was conveyed without words.

This left Nepheli, standing beside them, completely bewildered…

Why did I even come here? I should be under the carriage, not inside it…

"I can help you too... That wicked Godrick, to actually perform the 'Grafting' act, this is by no means the behavior of a king! Even if I intervene, my adoptive father will surely turn a blind eye..."

Nepheli said indignantly.

"Well, since we're here, Godrick, don't blame us for not fighting honorably..."

Lin Luo chuckled and walked straight inside...

Entering the great hall, they arrived at the royal court where Godrick resided.

At this moment, Godrick was in the royal court, muttering to the corpse of a dragon: "...Dragon, also of royal blood! Your strength is undeniable... it can push me to a higher realm..."

Sensing the movement behind him, Godrick turned around and looked back. "Are these three your confidence? You presume to challenge a deity?"

"Hmph... a mere Tarnished, but with considerable arrogance. Kneel! I am the Golden King!"

Godrick shed his cloak, revealing countless grafted limbs. These people were likely the previous victims. So, let's settle old scores and new ones together!
