Wishing Everyone a Happy Dragon Boat Festival

Because of Red Wolf, there were almost no sorcerers in the discussion room, perhaps also fearing that Red Wolf would suddenly get hungry and want to try something savory.

Also, it wasn't far from the library where Rennala was.

Therefore, Lin Luo didn't wear the bothersome helmet, as he planned to bypass these servants and head straight for the library anyway.

Exiting the discussion room, he saw a giant Iron Maiden patrolling from a distance. It had a chain supporting two sharp, massive scythes as its arms, and the gleam of the blades showed their sharpness.

Lin Luo originally didn't want to provoke it. Whether he could win wasn't the point; the important thing was that it looked truly disgusting.

Especially when the iron thorns on its chest opened up, emitting a smell indescribable by mere stench. You could tell me an old man had eaten inside, and I'd believe it!

Lin Luo stood at the entrance of the discussion room, able to see a massive structure overhead. A road extended down from the building, abruptly cut off at the platform connecting to the discussion room's entrance.

This should be the way to the library.

Skillfully navigating around the dry fountain in front of the door, he arrived at the broken path.

Whether it was the Iron Maiden's heightened senses or some other reason, it suddenly detected Lin Luo.

Its colossal body lunged fiercely towards him.

"Damn it! What the hell?"

Lin Luo was startled. He had been so careful...

Turning his head in confusion, he saw a servant wildly waving its left hand, muttering something...

"You son of a—"

Lin Luo froze for a moment, then realized. How was there still someone here to tip off the enemy? Hadn't their consciousness been erased? To have consciousness and still be reduced to a servant!

However, Lin Luo didn't know that the Iron Maiden wouldn't attack its servants here. Perhaps its original task was to guard these servants...

The Iron Maiden belonged to the Carian family; it should have been a special gift Rykard brought for his old mother.

While Lin Luo was stunned, the Iron Maiden's giant scythes had already swung towards him...

Lin Luo definitely wasn't thinking of running at this point. If he fell off the back, he wouldn't necessarily die, but he'd at least be bedridden for two or three years.

And this Iron Maiden...

"Screech!"

With nowhere to retreat, Lin Luo chose to face it head-on.

Since he was still wearing the sorcerer's robe, his physical defense was almost nonexistent.

The scythe instantly pierced Lin Luo's shoulder, its sharp blade scraping against his shoulder blade with a grinding sound.

Lin Luo suddenly laughed, a hint of madness in his eyes. Due to the side effects of the Frenzied Flame, Lin Luo was almost two different people when fighting compared to his normal self.

The Frenzied Flame needed an outlet. Without a lover, this was the only way. (Heh heh)

If the Iron Maiden had consciousness, Godrick would likely have been scared to death by that look.

Lin Luo dodged the Iron Maiden's other scythe swing and tightly grabbed the chain with his left hand.

The Iron Maiden felt a powerful force pulling, as if its scythe was about to be ripped from its grasp.

The charging Iron Maiden had never encountered such a situation; it seemed a bit flustered at this moment.

But it quickly reacted.

The Iron Maiden instantly opened its "chest cavity" below, and scarlet iron thorns extended out, still carrying remnants of internal organs.

Even Lin Luo, in his current state, was nauseated by the stench.

He frowned slightly and pulled out the Black Sword with his free right hand.

He swung the greatsword horizontally, thrusting it fiercely into the Iron Maiden's chest.

"Destined Death!"

Lin Luo hummed softly, Runes surging in his right hand.

The sword tip erupted with countless black and red sword energies, the highly aggressive Death Rune churning within the Iron Maiden.

This was already its weak point, and combined with the aggressive attack of the Black Sword's Destined Death, the Iron Maiden merely swayed in place twice... and stopped moving.

Lin Luo felt the scythe he was holding loosen its grip and knew the Iron Maiden was dead.

If you find this book enjoyable, remember to add it to your favorites so you don't lose it next time.

It couldn't exactly be called "dead," as it was just a torture device robot, not a living being.

Lin Luo kicked the Iron Maiden away, and the scythe hanging from his shoulder was pulled out as the Iron Maiden fell.

Blood immediately gushed out.

Melina appeared at this moment, her face filled with concern.

"Are you alright, Lin Luo? I should have kept watch around here. I'm sorry... I let you get hurt..."

"Just a minor injury, nothing serious..."

Lin Luo waved his hand and took out a bottle of red dew from his pocket, pouring it onto the wound.

The wound, which had been gushing blood, began to slowly heal.

Lin Luo pinched Melina's cheek.

"Don't be scared. If the Greater Will couldn't kill me, why would this Iron Maiden have a chance?"

Lin Luo chuckled. He estimated Melina hadn't seen even a fraction of his survival methods. After all these cycles, Lin Luo understood one crucial principle.

"If something only has a 99% success rate, what's the difference between that and suicide?"

"Be good, go back to a Site of Grace. Don't worry about me..."

Lin Luo looked up at the palace above.

"The main boss is still upstairs..."

Seeing this, Melina didn't say anything more, only thinking that next time she had to help Lin Luo watch his back for enemies.

Melina's figure slowly vanished, and Lin Luo's smile gradually faded.

He quickly ran to the side...

"Ugh~"

"Ugh~"

Yes, that was exactly why Lin Luo didn't want to provoke this Iron Maiden.

TMD, the smell was just too overpowering...

Lin Luo felt his stomach churning, about to vomit his last meal. What a waste of Shrimp Bro's shrimp.

Did you think being stabbed through the shoulder didn't hurt? No, it hurt a lot. Lin Luo had completely lost his sense of feeling from the stench. This smell of ancient corpses was indescribable.

"Cough... cough..."

Lin Luo spat out some phlegm, looking at the Iron Maiden beside him with obvious disgust, shivering all over.

Lin Luo swore that next time he went to Volcano Manor to find Rykard, if he encountered this thing, he would definitely use Gorentus's lightning to teach it a good lesson!

Lin Luo thought to himself, wiped his mouth, and left the place.

The moment he jumped from the edge of the platform to the broken bridge, Lin Luo felt a magical fluctuation.

He must have triggered a magic trap.

As expected, with a rumble from above, a massive iron ball appeared at the very top, almost as wide as the entire bridge. It seemed almost impossible to dodge.

However, there were a few small platforms beside the broken bridge, just wide enough for one person. The way to proceed was clear.

Although Lin Luo could also choose to destroy the iron ball and go straight across...

But who knew how many Runes the magical device above still stored? It would just keep coming one after another. Lin Luo definitely wouldn't do something so thankless, alright?

Standing steadily on the platform, Lin Luo didn't jump off. After all, the abyss below was bottomless, and falling would be no joke.

After an iron ball rolled past him and fell down, Lin Luo then proceeded to the next platform.

Step by step, steadily and surely, Lin Luo soon reached the door at the top of the stairs.

A tall Carian Knight came into Lin Luo's view, followed by threatening words...

"Invader... die!"

"Those who disturb the Queen's peace... shall not have a good end!"

"I, Moghrahm, shall carry out your execution!"

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
