The Matter Concluded

Lin Luo was startled; this thing couldn't be taken head-on, and the Force Field of Topos shouldn't be tested lightly.

By all rights, as one of the "legendary sorceries," Comet Azur was best avoided if possible.

Aside from slow casting speed and high FP cost, all its other attributes were at their peak.

So...

Lin Luo chose to go head-to-head!

A grin spread across Lin Luo's lips, and he, too, produced his staff.

With the exact same casting method, he unleashed the same magic.

"Comet Azur!"

Rennala's spell arrived first, followed closely by Lin Luo's.

Two massive beams of green light instantly collided.

If it were Rennala in her prime, Lin Luo might not have been foolish enough to choose a beam struggle with her.

Although Lin Luo's magical prowess was currently extremely strong, compared to Rennala, who had dedicated her life to studying the magic of the stars, he was certainly inferior.

However, Lin Luo's greatest strength wasn't magic.

He was currently facing Rennala being puppeteered by Ranni, so it was a direct beam struggle – who was afraid of whom?

The magic fiercely collided, blue and green laser beams blasted against each other, and a "sizzling" sound erupted from the point of impact.

For a moment, neither side gained the upper hand.

Rennala's pretty face was now beaded with sweat; it seemed the magical consumption was quite significant.

Lin Luo, though appearing slightly fatigued, showed in his eyes that he still had reserves.

"Then..."

"Let's finish this quickly!"

Sensing the pressure in front of him lessen, Lin Luo knew the opportunity to break the stalemate had arrived.

Lin Luo no longer held back his magic, pouring all of it into his staff.

Rennala's hand, gripping her staff, suddenly bent, and she abruptly felt the pressure from the front surge.

The beam in front of her had instantly overpowered her Comet!

Rennala frowned, wanting to counter, but the comet had already reached her...

"Boom!"

This was an explosion between comets...

This was a clash of legendary magics, something rarely seen throughout history, yet it happened in the Academy.

The magical aura instantly shattered everything around them; the calm lake vanished, the white moon gradually broke apart, and the barrier made of magic turned intangible.

The colossal magical fluctuations instantly spread across more than half the Academy.

And the conscious sorcerers outside were, naturally, extremely sensitive to magical fluctuations.

Sensing the vibrations from this location, they believed the Queen had regained consciousness, and this magical surge was a manifestation of Rennala's rage!

They fearfully knelt, prostrating themselves repeatedly, feeling guilt for the Queen's imprisonment and welcoming her return...

However, all of this was merely their own conjecture...

At Ranni's magic tower not far from the Academy, Ranni suddenly opened her eyes. Though only one, it was clear to see the surprise in them.

"The seal on Mother... has it been activated by someone..."

Ranni murmured. Her perception of magic was almost unparalleled; facing such a mighty aura, it naturally couldn't escape her notice.

"Is it those Demigods? That shouldn't be..."

Ranni felt a hint of confusion. Morgott wouldn't have the time to go to the Academy from the Royal Capital, and Mohg had long since disappeared.

Malenia had been severely injured and was slow to recover since her great battle with her brother...

Just who could it be...

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

Godrick? Forget it, he's not even sure he could defeat a lobster, and Mother could easily overpower him. There's no need for Comet Azur.

Ranni lowered her head, her four small hands supporting her chin as she pondered everything.

However, Ranni couldn't have dreamed that the one responsible for all this was merely a small Tarnished.

Lin Luo stood in the center of the Academy, holding the Great Rune of the Unborn in his hand.

Rennala, finally unable to bear the impact of such an attack, collapsed onto the ground, a trace of sadness in her eyes.

"Ah... Ranni... my beloved daughter..."

"Walk towards your destined night..."

Rennala hugged the amber in her arms and slowly drifted into slumber...

It had to be said, Rennala's physique was quite powerful. Or rather, Rennala's magic resistance was too high. Normally, even a full-power Comet Azur would leave a Demigod burned and bleeding, ultimately dying in hatred.

But Rennala was different; she merely fell unconscious from exhaustion.

It truly had to be said that anyone who could stand against Marika's court at that time was not simple. If her strength wasn't reduced to less than ten percent of its former glory, Lin Luo really wouldn't have had the confidence to win.

At most... a ninety percent chance of winning. A ninety percent chance? Wasn't that practically a death sentence?

Lin Luo smacked his lips, feeling a touch of melancholy.

Putting away his staff and sheathing his sword, Lin Luo gave Rennala a slight bow. It was a sign of respect for the Full Moon Queen.

"Forgive my intrusion, Your Majesty..."

Lin Luo said softly, slowly leaving the library.

Rennala sat in the center of the library, clutching the amber that had already lost its Rune, a faint smile still on her face. Perhaps she was lost in a pleasant dream.

Lin Luo sighed. After all, she was his future mother-in-law. When the Greater Will was dealt with, he would drag that scumbag Radagon over to kowtow to the Full Moon Queen. A scumbag who cheated for wealth and women, he truly deserved a terrible death.

Lin Luo skirted around Rennala and arrived at the back door of the academy. He first lit a Site of Grace, as he would need to return here in the future.

Lin Luo couldn't go to the Capital City yet. He still needed to retrieve the two halves of the Dectus Medallion first.

If he remembered correctly, these two halves were located at Fort Haight in Limgrave and Faroth Manor in Caelid.

However, Lin Luo didn't plan to face the Crucible Knight so soon.

His goal now was clear: find Ranni first.

He needed to help her complete the task of hunting the Fingers.

The first step was to go with Ranni's retainer to Redmane Castle in Caelid and help General Radahn find release.

Only then would the seal on the Eternal City be reopened.

Lin Luo had tried using Miquella's Needle, attempting to suppress the Scarlet Rot within Starscourage Radahn.

But all his attempts had failed. This was because Radahn's body had already been almost entirely consumed by the Scarlet Rot. The fact that he was still alive was a miracle in itself. If the Needle were used, Radahn would likely die from the intense rejection of the two powers.

Moreover, the process of his death would undoubtedly be horrific...

Starscourage was a hero; he shouldn't have met such an end.

Lin Luo sat beside the Site of Grace. The gentle light of the Erdtree fell upon him, and he could feel his fatigue beginning to dissipate...

At this moment, Lin Luo took out Godrick's Great Rune and the Great Rune of the Unborn.

These Great Runes were all parts of the Elden Ring, and what Lin Luo intended to do was to fuse these Runes.

Obtaining the Elden Ring merely meant having the Ring control him;

Lin Luo, however, intended to control the Elden Ring!

The Runes within Lin Luo's body began to overflow, slowly enveloping the two Great Runes. The powers of the two did not conflict. If his own power was insufficient, the Runes within his body would be absorbed completely by these Great Runes.

Conversely, if he possessed enough power, he could absorb the power of the Great Runes.

Three strands of golden light began to merge... slowly transforming into a thin golden thread that gradually entered Lin Luo's body...

Melina quietly guarded Lin Luo's side. She knew Lin Luo was undertaking something of great importance, and her role was to ensure Lin Luo was not disturbed
