Invincible Frame When Dismounting

Dawn was breaking, and the land was shrouded in a hazy, silvery-gray veil.

The world was silent, and then a bird's cry suddenly pierced the quiet.

Lin Luo slowly woke from his sleep, his eyes heavy as he opened them. He shifted slightly, his movement pressing down on a small branch beside him, which snapped with a creak.

"Lord Lin Luo, you're awake..."

A clear voice rang out from behind Lin Luo.

Lin Luo's heart tightened. In less than a second, he spun around, drawing his sword in one fluid motion.

The Black Sword, imbued with an aura of death, was instantly pointed at the intruder's throat, his cyan eyes glinting with killing intent.

"Lord Lin Luo..."

Irena paused, feeling the coldness against her neck. She didn't know what had happened, only that she felt closer to death than ever before.

"Huh?"

Lin Luo was clearly confused. He blinked, and only then did yesterday's memories surface.

Seeing that the person before him was Irena, he quickly sheathed the Black Sword.

"My apologies..."

Lin Luo was full of regret. He hadn't slept so peacefully in a long time, and he was sure that if someone had tried to kill him last night, he wouldn't have even noticed.

"I was just being overly cautious."

"Are you alright..."

At that moment, Melina's figure slowly materialized, her eyes filled with concern. Lin Luo had been too jumpy just now; she hadn't even had time to react.

"I'm fine... More importantly, Irena, I didn't hurt you, did I?"

As soon as Lin Luo spoke, he knew the answer. With the Black Sword's power, Irena would have been finished.

"N-no..."

Irena stammered, still shaken.

"Aren't you guys sleeping?"

Lin Luo scratched his head. It was so early; this wasn't right.

"I couldn't sleep..."

Irena's voice was a little low. "Father is still fighting in the city. I... I'm so scared I'll see..."

Melina didn't reply, only giving Lin Luo a deep look. If I hadn't been watching you, you would have been carried off by wild dogs yesterday, she thought.

"Uh... it's okay. Since your father is the Lord of the city, he must be strong. He'll definitely be alright,"

Lin Luo comforted Irena before pulling out the Spirit Calling Stake from his pouch.

"Wife..."

"Hm?"

Melina frowned slightly, her expression displeased.

"Ahem... Melina, can you protect Irena for me? I'm going to clear out those things in Castle Morne first. You two can come over after that."

"I'll contact you at a Site of Grace..."

"Alright..."

Melina replied softly, her form dissolving once more.

"Irena, stay put right here. I'll let you see your father."

"Then... I'm counting on you, Lord Lin Luo..."

Irena bowed deeply.

"Torrent, let's go!"

Lin Luo climbed onto the horse, pulled the reins, and gradually rode away.

"Lord Lin Luo... is truly a special Tarnished..."

"Indeed... a very kind Tarnished... though sometimes rather unserious..."

Melina couldn't help but sigh at Irena's words.

Her voice was quiet, and Irena didn't hear it.

Lin Luo, of course, was unaware of the two women's assessment of him as he continued towards Castle Morne. The journey wasn't far, about two kilometers.

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author. Maybe the name was just changed!

"Whoosh!"

Just as Lin Luo was heading towards Castle Morne.

Suddenly, a massive arrow shot towards him. The sound hadn't reached him before the arrow did—a testament to its power.

Lin Luo, however, was unfazed. Torrent leaped into the air, easily dodging the arrow.

An arrow shot into the ground nearby, kicking up dust and blasting out a huge crater.

Looking ahead, a massive Stone Golem stood there, holding a great bow in its hand and notching a second arrow.

One could only say it was worthy of a Demigod's steed; Torrent was fast indeed. By the time the Golem was about to shoot its second arrow, Torrent had already reached the Golem's feet.

"Boom!"

This time, it was the sound of a bowstring being released.

The stone arrow grazed Lin Luo's scalp.

He should have dodged this arrow, but Lin Luo felt a strange surge in his DNA.

"Watch me, I've got invincibility frames when dismounting!"

For some reason, Lin Luo shouted this out.

Lin Luo leaped from Torrent's back... and by sheer coincidence, directly collided with the stone arrow. The immense impact sent Lin Luo flying several meters away with a thwack.

Lin Luo's mind went blank. All he knew was that he made eye contact with Torrent's bewildered gaze in mid-air.

He saw disbelief, he saw Torrent raise a hoof as if to call him an idiot.

If the Stone Golem had consciousness, it would probably be cursing "What the hell, a staged accident!"

"Hiss."

Lin Luo got up, gritting his teeth against the pain. Good heavens, if he hadn't been so tough, he would have been carried away…

"Damn it, I forgot this isn't a game…"

But… dodging skills after dismounting is really cool…

"Whoosh!"

Another arrow flew. Lin Luo guessed the Golem's intent with this shot was to tell him to get his head checked.

"What the hell, is this never-ending?!"

Lin Luo immediately used Bloodhound Step to dodge it.

After a roll, he pulled a great bow from his satchel.

"Taste General Radahn's great bow, baby!"

Lin Luo drew the bowstring, nocking 'Radahn's Spear' onto the massive bow.

"Radahn's Rain!"

Lin Luo half-crouched on the ground, the bowstring pulled taut and aimed at the sky.

"Boom!"

Radahn's Spear instantly transformed into streaks of purple light and vanished into the air.

The Stone Golem seemed unaware of the gravity of the situation and was still thinking of shooting the invader before it.

At this moment, the vanishing purple lights reappeared above the Stone Golem's head. Arrow after arrow rained down from the sky onto the Stone Golem.

The immense impact caused the Stone Golem to lose its balance. Its massive body slammed hard onto the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

"You little brat…"

Lin Luo rubbed his chest, couldn't help but curse. He put away the General's Greatbow into his satchel, drew the Black Sword, and slowly walked towards the Golem.

"Goodbye, baby!"

Lin Luo thrust the Black Sword fiercely into the Golem's chest. Scalding, golden liquid gushed out with the insertion of the Black Sword. No one knew if it was blood or something else. (Road blocked)

He pulled out the Black Sword, and the Stone Golem ceased all movement, its form dissipating into specks of light in the air.

"It's been so long since I've been this embarrassed. Good thing Mu Tou wasn't here, or I'd have suffered social death…"

Lin Luo awkwardly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Suddenly, he remembered something and looked at Torrent in his hand.

Torrent shivered.

"How about..."

"Pah, pah, pah… What am I thinking? It's a token of affection given by Mu Tou, after all."

Poor Torrent didn't know it had just taken a stroll on the edge of hell.

Lin Luo rested his chin on his hand, deciding to spare Torrent. He smacked his lips and swaggered into Castle Morne.
