The NetherFrost Region and the Black Mountain are separated by a long snowy mountain range, rendering it nigh impossible to cross it by foot or even with the use of a fast mount. The only way to traverse it is through aerial means, such as a flying mount or with the help of The Sky Federation.
Additionally, the mountain range houses innumerable dangerous beasts, much stronger than the manticore Leiu is going to hunt. For this reason, which was more than enough, the Dark Knight opted for the safer but longer route.
Suffice to say, the detour he’s going to take is considerably long and boring. Unlike the path he trod on his way to Radiance City, Leiu will go around the Desert Zone, staying close to the mountain range and going through a series of desolate forests.

“How. Many. Times. Did. I. Tell. You. Not. To. Cry.”With every word leaving the drunken man’s mouth, he would punch the young boy. He didn’t even hold back his strength, he would continuously beat up his child until he vented all of his anger and frustration.By the time the man was done, the boy’s face and body would be bruised and even bloody. He was only four years of age but he was constantly abused, on a daily basis.His father used to be a wealthy businessman but a series of unfortunate events led to his current state. Still, even back when the man was rich, the beatings were ever-so-present.It’s like he did not view the kid as his own flesh and blood, he was j
The long route to the Black Mountain took Leiu thirteen days of constant traveling. Usually, it would take much more but Milkan’s speed was relatively fast and they were met with no hindrances, such as bandits or hostile parties. “It’s really a big mountain.” Unnecessarily commented Mira as she lifted her head and gazed at the sky-piercing mountain, which tip wasn’t even visible from where she was. The Wicked Witch and the Dark Knight were at the forest at the foot of the Black Mountain, precisely where the Centaur tribes live. The Manticore habitat should not be far away from where they currently are, however, it would be wishful thinking to arrive there without getting obstructed by something or someone. While the centaurs do not pose a threat to Leiu, there are othe
The first two enemies were cleanly and swiftly eliminated, however, the next encounter was drastically different from its predecessors, as in the ones that appeared before the Dark Knight were actually players and not Salamanders.It was two players, to be precise, a woman and a man, both wearing a black cloak which slightly hid their faces but their genders could be distinguished even from a distance. The man was tall, much taller than Leiu, a well-built body with broad-shoulders and light gear hidden underneath the cloak.The two were holding magical staffs, grey in color and embedded with Emeralds and Rubies. From the looks of it, they weren’t hostile, their weapons lowered and their stances on the defensive.*Miranda Magica Lv76**Cali N Lv76*
“They were very suspicious.” After his swift disappearance, Mira got out and, while looking at the direction he dashed from, voiced her thoughts. Although she’s not like Leiu and would not refuse help, even from strangers, she still found Miranda and Cali suspicious, to say the least. Her dubious assumptions were warranted as the two players did not divulge too much information about their identities or the organization they work for. Moreover, despite their non-hostility, the fact that they abruptly appeared before Leiu is enough of a reason not to trust him. After all, who knows for how much time they had been following him, which probably means that they know more about him than what they said. “I can fly around and check if they’re still following you.” In response to this, Leiu shook his head but did not speak a word. He quickly returned to his original path, killing any Fire Salamander that barred his way. Despite it being a small region situated at the base of the Black Mou
A true warzone, it was the only way to describe this place. Leiu could not take a step forward without getting attacked, it was more dangerous than he expected.“Leiu!”Mira, who was fighting alongside him, shouted with a distressed voice. She unleashed her white mist and barely blew up two enemies before flying toward the Dark Knight.The youth was bleeding from his abdomen and rolling on the ground, his face filled with dirt and blood. He had the misfortune of meeting a pack of Black Lions, dangerous high-leveled creatures inhabiting this zone, which was supposed to belong to the Manticore.With levels ranging from 90 to 100, a massive body and an absurd physical power, they were able to overpower the
A certain degree of satisfactory cooperation was achieved by the Dark Knight and The Wicked Witch. Through certain experimental trials, they found out that certain skills can be ‘combined’ to achieve maximum efficiency.It has been three days since Leiu arrived at the manticore’s lair, the numbers of Black Lions have dwindled but he still encounters a pack every one or two hours.Though, it has to be said that this region is considerably large, however, it was mostly empty, filled with boulders and rocks of all shapes and sizes. With all its slopes and cliffs, this region was unfavorable for terrestrial battles, so much that, in most cases, Leiu had to lure the monsters a distance away so he could fight with ease.Currently, he was battling three Black Lion
Left with no option but to resort to his strongest skill, Leiu used [Milkan’s Savagery]. This ultimate skill has never been used so he doesn’t know if it’s enough against the manticore but it’s his last chance.There were only a handful of manticores left alive on the continent and this one was the closest to him, the rest were far South and it’d take him a very long time to locate them.By nom, it has become crystal clear that his Level and stats are far too low to face the beast, however, he stayed true to the words he uttered to the Wicked Witch.A manticore’s heart cannot be found even in the black market, and even if some people were in possession of it, they would rather keep it and make use of it. Its applications are enticing
