Rennala

"Disturbing your Queen? Your Queen has been imprisoned for who knows how many years!"

Lin Luo casually picked at his ear with a hint of disdain.

"Invader, die!"

Moghram's voice was almost devoid of emotion, repeating the same phrase robotically.

This made Lin Luo realize that the knight was probably mindless.

However, he didn't expect it to remember its own name and be able to utter a few lines of dialogue.

Seeing that the Carian Knight was mindless, Lin Luo naturally lost interest in continuing to banter with him.

He took out Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, which he had originally intended to use against Rennala, and his gaze became serious.

It wasn't deliberate emphasis, but because Rennala, as the last Queen of Caria, naturally had maxed-out magic resistance. Using the renowned Moonveil and magic wouldn't work.

Using the Black Sword... well, Ranni would probably chase him across the Lands Between... While that sounded exciting, Lin Luo wasn't interested.

Suddenly, Moghram charged at Lin Luo, holding a shield in his right hand and a sword in his left.

The Carian Sword in his hand slashed fiercely at Lin Luo, its sharp blade seeming to cut through the air.

Lin Luo naturally didn't want to waste time and directly raised Corpse Mountain Blood Sea to block in front of him.

The two swords collided, sparks flying.

Lin Luo held the sword with both hands, his strength erupting. The immense power directly sent Moghram's sword flying, the Carian Sword soaring high and embedding itself into the wall above.

"If I don't get serious, you really think any grunt can trade blows with me!"

Lin Luo swiftly swung twice more. This time, it was Corpse Mountain Blood Sea's Ash of War—

Two streams of blood-red flames, mixed with sword energy, slashed directly at Moghram.

Lin Luo's extremely high stats caused him to bleed with a single strike, and the blood flames immediately ignited on Moghram's body.

Moghram hadn't recovered from Lin Luo's counterattack yet. Before he could even raise his shield, the sword energy had already pierced his body, followed by a sweet, metallic taste within and a burning sensation in his chest.

"Fate..."

Moghram suddenly knelt on the ground, his body slumping as he seemed to mumble something...

Lin Luo didn't hear what he said. Moghram had already fallen to the ground, lifeless...

"As a knight, you were at least competent."

Lin Luo nodded slightly, offering Moghram his only respect.

But that was all. Lin Luo sheathed Corpse Mountain Blood Sea and walked forward.

Stepping onto the lift, the rooftop was where the pitiable queen resided...

A sacrifice to divine rule...

Not just a pitiable queen, but also a tragic mother.

Abandoned by her husband, betrayed by her subordinates, her own offspring born failed. She had experienced almost every miserable event in life...

Upon reaching the rooftop, Lin Luo stepped out of the lift's chamber.

Lin Luo felt hunger pangs and took out two pieces of Turtle Neck meat from his storage pouch to fill his stomach. Although Runes could sustain him for tens of thousands of years without food or drink, the desire for taste couldn't be satisfied by replenishing energy with Runes. However, Runes could indeed purchase the pleasure of eating.

Afterward, Lin Luo sat to the side, summoned Melina, and took out a lot of food, giving Melina some leftover rations—things like White Fowl Legs, Warrior's Meat, and various other types.

Don't ask where these things came from; just assume the Greater Will specifically delivered them.

Melina initially wanted to refuse, but upon seeing Lin Luo's unyielding expression, she grudgingly ate a few pieces.

After doing all this, Lin Luo finally pushed open the Academy's grand doors...

What greeted him was still darkness, with barely a glimmer of light inside.

Lin Luo didn't light a torch and continued walking into the Academy's interior...

As he walked, Lin Luo felt something trip his foot.

Slowly... a faint candlelight appeared beneath his feet—the flame gradually grew larger, illuminating Lin Luo's surroundings.

Only then did he see the scene.

It was a girl without legs, her arms wrapped around Lin Luo's right foot, a strange smile on her face as she looked up at him...

Suddenly, clusters of candlelight began to appear all around, and Lin Luo saw the chilling scene.

Although Lin Luo had experienced this countless times, it still made his scalp tingle every time—

It was dozens of girls without legs, all looking identical, their actions also eerily consistent, holding candles with strange smiles on their faces.

Perhaps, they couldn't even be called human.

Lin Luo slowly drew Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, his expression becoming solemn.

Rennala wasn't trash like Godrick; she was someone who could truly contend with demigods.

It's just that due to giving birth to so many offspring, she had been imprisoned for so many years, and her strength was likely less than a tenth of what it was.

Suddenly, the entire Academy lit up.

Brilliant light erupted from the top of the academy, and all the deformed girls simultaneously looked up towards the source of the light.

"Oh my... you've appeared..."

A clear and pleasant voice rang out.

It was a beautiful woman, floating in mid-air, lying horizontally. She was exquisitely beautiful, with a hint of doting affection and tenderness in her pupils. Her flawless, snow-white small hands cradled a piece of golden, translucent amber.

This must be the Full Moon Queen, Rennala.

"I... will definitely make you into a well-behaved child..."

Rennala caressed the amber in her hand, kissed it, and slowly spoke...

Lin Luo raised his sword, and Rennala looked at him with a yandere-like gaze, making him unable to muster the will to fight for a moment...

However, Lin Luo knew very well that the Full Moon Queen intended to turn him into the same kind of cells as these deformed creatures.

A thin, golden shield materialized around Rennala, its nature unknown.

The surrounding girls emitted terrifying and strange laughter, singing eerie and obscure songs. The entire scene felt utterly grotesque.

No matter how you looked at it, it was a scene straight out of a horror story.

Regarding Rennala's magic shield, it could be broken directly by reaching a certain threshold of power, but Lin Luo certainly wouldn't do something so thankless.

He knew that as long as he killed the girl singing at each time interval, he could break Rennala's magic shield.

Therefore, Lin Luo chose to kill them all!

The very existence of these beings was a blasphemy against life itself.

Watching several deformed girls float up, the Full Moon Queen directly sacrificed their lives to launch an attack on Lin Luo...

Lin Luo finally felt the urge to kill. He wouldn't kill Rennala, but a lesson needed to be taught!

Then, it was time to show no mercy and bring liberation to these beings...

Lin Luo dodged a beam of purple magic, then flicked away a flying book, standing in a blind spot and raising Lusat's Glintstone Staff.

"Then..."

"Meteorite of Astel!"

(Rennala: "Is this what you call 'not doing something thankless'?!" Lin Luo: "You're flying so high, I can't hit you, making it thankless.")
