Return to Stormveil Castle

A massive tremor instantly spread throughout Liurnia. Even Shrimp Bro, far off at the edge of the sky, felt the immense pressure.

"Oh my, oh my, Brother Luo was right. This Liurnia is too dangerous. I can't stay here anymore. Mom, I want to go home!"

This only strengthened his resolve to head to Stormveil Castle.

Morgott, the Omen King, far away in the royal capital, suddenly opened his eyes. He sensed a familiar power.

"The aura of Dragonlord Placidusax?"

"How dare he return to the Lands Between!"

Morgott's heart tightened. With a flicker of his body, he quickly went to search for the source of this power.

The Lands Between, already shattered by the Shardbearer War, could not withstand another war!

For the sake of the Erdtree's future, he had to eliminate all threats!

At this moment, Seluvis's Sorcerer's Tower had already become a ruin...

No, perhaps it couldn't be called a ruin. The original Sorcerer's Tower was now a massive hole, with only scattered ashes floating in the air. It was impossible to tell that this had once been a Sorcerer's Tower.

This was the agonizing cry of the Dragonlord as he perished...

Lin Luo slowly descended from the sky. Even Lin Luo felt a slight drain from such a powerful prayer.

The deathly stillness in his eyes receded, leaving behind his familiar black and white eyes.

Ranni, far away in Ranni's magical tower, also widened her eyes in surprise.

Surprise was only a part of it; joy was the larger part.

Ranni recovered herself, a hint of guilt flashing through her mind. She quickly put away the flower bouquet and treasured it in her arms.

At this moment, Lin Luo turned his head, looked at Ranni in the distance, and gave a smile.

Ranni's heart skipped a beat, and she felt her face grow hot (though a puppet couldn't actually get hot). She quickly hid behind the wall, peeking out with one eye.

Little did she know how out of place the large white hat at the entrance looked...

Lin Luo smiled slightly, not bothering to greet her directly. Otherwise, the proud Ranni would surely not accept it.

With the matter not yet resolved, Lin Luo's expression gradually turned cold again.

"Jingle jingle~"

He took out the Spirit-Calling Bell from his pocket, and it emitted a clear sound.

A figure identical to Lin Luo gradually appeared.

However, unlike Lin Luo, the Mimic Tear was exuding an aura of destruction. It was the power of the Three Fingers, the Frenzied Flame.

"You know what needs to be done..."

Lin Luo fiddled with the necklace on his chest, looking up at the tear and speaking softly.

The tear did not reply, merely nodding silently.

"Don't let him die easily."

Lin Luo handed the Mimic Tear a large handful of Warmstones. What he intended was already obvious.

The Frenzied Flame flowed in the Mimic Tear's eyes. It was one with Lin Luo, and he understood Lin Luo's thoughts.

Taking the Warmstones, it walked directly towards Carian Manor.

The reason was simple: Seluvis's true body was located there.

How dare he covet his woman? Hmph, Lin Luo would not let him die easily.

As for how the Mimic Tear would torture Seluvis, that was a story for another time. In any case, his fate would be no better than Gostoc's!

With this matter settled, Lin Luo also began to make his way to Redmane Castle.

To save time on the journey, Lin Luo directly teleported to the room next to the elevator in Stormveil Castle.

His sudden appearance immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding soldiers.

Countless soldiers surrounded him. It was a familiar scene.

Lin Luo was also bewildered. What was going on? These didn't seem like

Godrick's soldiers, weren't they all idiots?...

Oh, wait, Godrick had been killed by him. Nepheli was in charge now.

The soldiers stood at high alert, staring intently at Lin Luo.

However, a few of the more aware soldiers recognized the person before them... they had been participants in that battle.

The nightmare of Stormveil Castle...

That god of death! The one who, by himself, had dyed the entire Stormveil Castle red!

One soldier, with insufficient mental fortitude, had already collapsed in fear, sitting on the ground. A foul odor emanated from his armor...

"What a joke..."

Another soldier couldn't help but take a few steps back, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

"We can't possibly be his match! Run! Hurry, run!"

Are you kidding me? You dare provoke him! Has the bloodstain on the wall in the room next to the elevator not even dried yet?

He was there when they dealt with Gostoc's corpse. The scene was so horrific it was almost indescribable—the ground was littered with scattered flesh, not a single intact part of his body; blood flowed into every corner of the room, and some limbs were nowhere to be found.

He clearly remembered Gostoc's screams before he died, and the look of relief on his face when he passed.

It was hard to imagine what he had gone through...

Finally, that soldier let out a shout and ran out like a madman.

The group of soldiers at the forefront, not knowing who was in front of them, looked confusedly at the fleeing soldier, with a hint of disdain in their eyes.

"You... you have no idea what you're facing..."

The soldier stammered, wanting to flee as well, but was stopped by the soldiers behind him.

"Let me... let me go! He's not human! He's a monster..."

The soldier roared desperately. Seeing that he couldn't escape, he even tried to slit his own throat.

But he was restrained by the surrounding soldiers, unable to even kill himself...

"It's all over... it's all over..."

The bound soldier, as if possessed, could only repeat those three words.

"How dramatic..."

Lin Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, his cyan eyes appearing as he slowly drew out Malenia's Prosthetic Blade.

He didn't know what had happened, but it seemed like he had no choice but to go on a killing spree...

Seeing Lin Luo draw his sword, the soldiers all raised their own swords and shields; soldiers on the higher outer walls also aimed their crossbows at Lin Luo.

"Why bother..."

Lin Luo raised his long sword and held it horizontally in front of him, already adopting the stance for Waterfowl Dance. If the soldiers moved, they would be met with a slaughter like a meat grinder...

"Stop!"

As both sides were at a tense standoff, a hearty female voice shattered the delicate balance.

Lin Luo was stunned for a moment; the voice sounded a bit familiar.

But the cyan color in his eyes remained. If the soldiers made any move, he would definitely swing his Waterfowl without hesitation.

A path cleared in the middle of the soldiers, and Nepheli walked through, clad in a comical Golden King armor.

"My Lady..."

The leading soldiers bowed respectfully to Nepheli.

"We just discovered an invader, and we'll apprehend them immediately."

"No need! You've got it wrong."

Nepheli waved her hand, a smile on her face.

"This is the hero who defeated the tyrant Godrick!"

Nepheli's words exploded in the crowd like thunder.

"He... he is..."

The soldiers finally realized something. Although they didn't witness Lin Luo's slaughter firsthand, the scene afterward...

He was the one who did this! With his slender arms and legs...

The soldiers collectively swallowed, making a "gulp" sound.

They realized belatedly that if they had chosen to attack just now... Stormveil Castle would likely have another layer of red soil...

At this moment, they released the bound soldier. He had already collapsed on the ground, gasping, "Damn it, I'm finally saved..."
