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

*At the Dark Knight’s behest, the Darkness answersAt the Genesis Knight’s order, Light shines*That was the first notification that popped before the player ‘Estelle, which was also the woman’s real name. Estelle Sigreen, a 32-year old british woman, hailing from a vastly wealthy aristocratic household. Much like most of the world, she joined Hell Gate, albeit a bit late.However, she did play a lot, her time was equally divided between taking care of her 7-year-old daughter and playing the game. She wasn’t an addict and only played for entertainment. Despite starting late, Estelle was fascinated by this virtual game, which was truly an alternate reality, fitting to be the most popular thing that caught the world by storm.
Vins Jones, the vice-leader of the Bloody Hand Empire Guild, the strongest and leading guild of the port city Rachdale.His player name was ‘X’ and he had a unique class called ‘Shadow-walker’. Even inside of the game, Vins wore a simple tuxedo and some expensive accessories such as rings and bracelets. His secondary class, Time Bender, was no less weaker than Shadow-walker, it granted him abilities that could be considered overpowered, though not all of them were meant to kill monsters or defend himself.As a player who prefered venturing alone, Vins rarely joined in his guild’s raids and would constantly refuse offers from other famous guilds such as Renaissance or Dark Angel.Currently, the handsome, pale-faced man was motionless, his b
After acquiring the Manticore’s heart, Leiu did not waste any time and headed directly to the port city, Rachdale. The first six days were long as he had to wait for Milkan to return, this meant that his traveling speed was greatly slowed down.It took him 17 days to cross the Desert Zone and arrive at the big coastal region adjacent to Rachdale. It has been a little over two months since Lethra’s disappearance, which is considered a long time. Still, Leiu held onto the hope that she might be alive and continued his hunt for the necessary materials to perform the summoning.While he was on his way to Rachdale, he received one odd notification, informing him that the Genesis Knight class was successfully inherited. In addition to that, he received a quest telling him to find and kill the user of the aforementioned class.
