There were a lot of notifications, so much that it took Leiu ten whole minutes to read everything. The first couple of ones were expected, but the sudden appearance of a quest did surprise him.
He took out the Night World Fragment and closely inspected it but was eventually unable to find anything special about it. It was a purple crystal, the size of his palm, and had the shape of a hexagon, that was it.
Instead of continuing his journey in the Night World, Leiu spent a considerable amount of time thinking things through. Whether it was the Night Without Light Quest or the other one, which he was able to decipher not long after he had gotten it.
Apparently, all those 1s and 0s were binary language, and when translated, it became ‘Binary Dimension’, though he was still c
The Dark Knight had already lost track of time, his feet kept leading his onward. He solely relied on the helpful Silk Effect to navigate the Night World and make sure he’s not going around in circles.The encounters with the Infested Spawn continued and, by now, it seemed to be purposely periodic. After each fight, he’ll walk for thirty to forty minutes then he’ll be attacked… the process ceased to be thrilling and had become boring.He had memorized the beasts’ tactics and their commonly used attacks, which ranged from leaping at him to slashing with their claws or biting with their poisonous fangs. The fights become so easy that he no longer needed to rely on skills to kill them.<
It hasn’t been a minute since he entered this absurdly massive room yet Leiu was attacked by an actual unicorn. He was able to activate [Counter] in time, however, it surprisingly wasn’t capable of blocking the light shot by the assailant’s golden horn.Leiu’s body was blown in the air like a kite, slamming into the tower’s wall and then crashing on the ground. Just that one attack from the unicorn halved his health bar and dealt significant damage to his body.For the first couple of seconds, the Dark Knight was literally incapable of standing up. The excruciating pain limited his movements, and the strong dizziness robbed him of his senses.Fortunately, before it could attack him again, the unicorn was stopped by Amon.<
Although Amon’s speed was praise-worthy, it didn’t make things any better for Leiu. The ride was uncomfortable as the horse was galloping on a spiraling staircase that seemed to lead all the way to the top of the tower.The distance separating the horse and the unicorn were slowly but surely decreasing, however, Amon was showing clear signs of fatigue. Nevertheless, he persevered and mustered all his strength, surprisingly using a skill.Leiu’s vision was suddenly covered by a burst of darkness, lasting for a split second. When he regained his sight, he found himself and Amon in front of the running unicorn.Apparently, Amon used a teleportation skill, allowing him to bypass his target. However, the constant running from before along with the use of the skill
The Moon Crawling Wyvern’s body was so large and tough, thus causing the spiraling staircase to shatter and fall, barring the way leading downwards. However, Leiu could not care less about the stairs, he kept holding onto his greatsword and stabilizing his body.It was difficult to remain on top of the uncontrollably shaking and consistently moving large reptile. If he pulled his weapon, he would not be able to continue his torrent of attacks, which, so far, seemed to be working marvelously.Although he’s not dealing a lot of damage- from a numerical point of view- he’s still causing the wyvern to suffer a lot, enough for the unicorn to busy itself with dealing damage.If he doesn’t distract the wyvern, it’ll focus more on the unicorn, after all

“You’re back!”Just as Leiu reappeared in the inn room, he heard his friend yell and then jump at him. The golden-haired noble gave him a tight hug and cackled like a maniacally.“You cleared the quest, yes?”Leiu responded with a simple nod, to which Fairti frowned and asked again,“You know that’s not enough! Details! Tell me all the details.”“We have a long journey ahead of us. I’ll tell you on the way.”“Oh? We’re departing right now?”Leiu nodded agai
“Ah! Isn’t it a great day to begin our glorious journey?”Fairti spread his hands upwards, basking in the sunlight and taking long and deep breaths, looking genuinely happy and in a pretty good mood. They stacked themselves with provisions, which include food, water, magical items that can repair gear, and even some precautionary equipment.Unlike his eager friend, Leiu was as grumpy as usual. He wasn’t particularly a fan of sunny weather, moreover, he was certain this peacefulness will be short-lasting. Once they are outside of the calm and safe region surrounding Moonlake city, beast attacks and encounters of local bandits will begin and not stop for a while.Fortunately, they can, though not always, teleport to the Eternal Abyss Manor to spend the
Fairti pulled Leiu to the side and, after gingerly glancing at Femy and her companions, he whispered with a barely audible voice.“It’s not a bad offer, you know.”Leiu frowned and was about to object but his friend cut him off.“We’re guaranteed a safe route, non-interference, and a personal escort. Look, we can always trick them then run when we’re near the capital.”“That’s not how a noble should act.” Refuted Leiu, though a sly smile appeared on his face.“Don’t mind it, I’m only a noble in name. I don’t know what the king’s counselor wants with you but it’s
