As he tried to escape the herd of silver rhinos, the black mare zigzagged and teleported away whenever the skill was available.
The chase lasted a couple of minutes, after which the rhinos seemed to have given up and slowed down.
Leiu urged Amon to distance himself even further before he dismounted and inspected his surroundings. He wasn’t at the deepest part of the Dragon’s Maw Canyon, but the echoing growls of unseen lurking monsters were a clear sign that he landed in a particularly dangerous place.
Fortunately, he escaped Emperor and his group as well as the unexpected herd. All that was left was make his way back to the upper parts of the canyon and return to the capital.
Alas, the Lunar Poison was li
It happened when Leiu had just passed the Black Castle Fortress five kilometers South of the Imperial Capital.Amon was galloping on the main road, bypassing some merchant caravans and a handful of player groups, but he was suddenly stopped by an ambush.Even this close to the capital, Leiu had never dropped his guard due to the bounty on his head and the numerous enemies he had made so far. Whether it was the greedy players, the bounty hunters sent by the kind, the mysterious organization back on Earth, or the Assassin Brotherhood he had recently clashed against.Basically, he had no shortage of enemies and that made him constantly on high-alert, even at the safest of places.Therefore, when Amon stepped on a
“It will take me a couple of days to finish off the Goldshin Family. In the meantime, why don’t you stay here? We have a lot of free rooms and I dare say that my hospitality is my speciality.”“So you have no other jobs for me?”“Fortunately not… or do you like it when I send you for errands and assassinations?”Zeno leaned against his chair and chuckled, his eyes intensely staring at the Dark Knight, as usual.“Your stare is creepy, you know.”Leiu took one final bite and emptied a glass of water before continuing,“Are you perhaps
“Careful now, counselor, that’s blasphemy.”Zeno was insulting the king right in front of his daughter, and that should have brought irreparable consequences, but it did not. Elizabeth merely snorted and tried to warn him, which didn’t work, of course.“Tell me, Your Highness, are you aware of your father’s recent orders?”“...”“That look confirms to me that you are as oblivious as ever. Pardon my bluntness, but you only think of the problems in front of your nose. You are so focused on getting Fariti Gicolt out of his dungeon cell but don’t know what to do with him once he’s out.” *WARNING: The Lunar Poison has spread to the Dark Knight’s intestines!**WARNING: The Lunar Poison has spread to the Dark Knight’s right lung!**WARNING: The Dark Knight’s stats have decreased by 30%.**WARNING: The Dark Knight’s Health has decreased by 20%.*While listening to the conversation between Zeno and Princess Elizabeth, Leiu was assaulted by an overwhelming dizziness and an excruciating pain in his chest.He started gasping for breath as if he was suffocating, startling the other two.Much to their surprise, the Dark Knight jumped from his seat and clutched his chest and leaned forward.&ldquoRe; Hell Gate Chapter 335 : The Symptoms
“You are a Dark Knight and from what I’ve gathered, you use the Darkness Element… or at least a higher-variation of it. Generally, when someone, especially a mage, consumes an element they have a strong affinity with, they will get stronger depending on the quantity. It matters not if the consumption of the elemental energy was purposeful or not, it would strengthen the individual and could potentially heal them from interior and exterior damages.”“... did you learn that from books too?”“Yes, I have repeatedly and persistently told you that knowledge is everything. I know a thing or two about poisons and botany, as a matter of fact. But I digress. The White Death is dreaded by all Races and is notorious for its potent and fatal symptoms. However, it works similar to the Lunar Poison, meani
“How is he?”Three hours after an intense treatment session, Madam Skelgan was completely and utterly exhausted. She was wiping her sweat and looking extremely pale, but there was a content smile on her tired face.She stood up and, with the help of Xavier, was taken to another room, in which she could react. Meanwhile, Zeno, who only got a reproachful glare for an answer, walked to Leiu and checked his pulse.He even leaned closer to his face and stared at it for an indeterminate amount of time.“You really are a mysterious person, Leiu.”He sighed and crossed his arms, soon getting engrossed in his chaotic and curious thoughts. While the Madam was healing him, Zeno managed to contact the second prince and get a couple of vague and unsatisfactory answers.Although the prince was considered a protector of the Noules Empire, it was hard to predict what he would do and who he would stand with if things in the capital es
“Your Highness! Pardon the late welcome… I did not expect you to come in person.”Truthfully, Zeno was startled to see Ebrador Junior at his doorstep. It was only a few minutes ago that his servant, Bran Terrest, delivered a vial containing the dreadsome White Death.Such unpredictable behavior was what troubled the counselor. It was rare for the Second Prince to leave his laboratory, and much rarer for him to actually visit another person outside of the Royal Castle.Although the two of them talked on several occasions, they weren’t close enough for either of them to visit the other’s estate. Nevertheless, Zeno hospitably welcomed the unexpected guest and led him to his office. Zeno was shocked, to say the least. He was confused on why would Leiu want White Death, but after the Second Prince revealed the truth, he became worried about the implication of the reckless use of this deadly poison. “I take it you didn’t know his plans? If he’s really going to poison himself then that’s nothing short of madness. Its usefulness and the abundance of Darkness Energy would nullify my Lunar Poison, but that’s only if he could bear through the pain. Mayhap his body can’t handle that much energy.” “...” “I take pride in my Lunar Poison, after all, it’s ranked the 8th strongest poison. Unfortunately, since it’s concocted using common herbs, a cure has long been found and the subsequent disease it inflicts upon its victims could be avoided.
