“Tell me about the First Dark Kni-”
Leiu stopped his question mid-way and looked at Seo Ae-Ri, who looked eager and curious.
“This doesn’t concern you. Leave.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Oh… okay.”
Leiu did not insist or add any more unnecessary words. He walked up to her and literally dragged her out of the room.
“You! Let me go!”
At first, she tried to shove his hand away but immediately remembered that the manor would bind her again. As a guest, she wasn’t allowed to use any kind of violence against the Dark Knight, and while he
Leiu was in a state of shock, the images of his and the Gobblers’ death were still vivid in his mind. His hand was trembling ever-so-slightly, and though he managed to swiftly control his turbulent emotions and chaotic thoughts, he still could not think straight. “Hey! You ready?” Femy leaned her face in front of his and raised her voice, snapping him out of it. Leiu looked around then took a deep breath, his body covered in cold sweat. “We will take another route.” Although he was confident in his skills, Leiu was absolutely certain that he stood no chance against that monster. He was also sure that it wasn’t part of the King’s group. It was a frightening
“Ah!” The second death rendered Leiu immobile even after his ‘resurrection’. He knelt on the ground and panted while clutching his chest. The excruciating feeling of having the Primordial Darkness sucked out of him was still vivid and frightening. “You alright? What’s wrong?” His sudden reaction alerted Femy and her companions. The rabbit woman knelt beside him to check but was startled when he violently punched the ground and gritted his teeth. “We must leave! Now!” “What do you mean?” Adamant on fleeing, Leiu refused to waste any extra second. He glared at Femy and tightly held her sh
“Get to the point.” Solemnly retorted Leiu.“Our organization operates world-wide and we are hired by many private and public companies. More often than not, governments pay us to eliminate terrorists, mafia heads, or corrupt politicians. I belong to the Asian Branch and there’s a dedicated base in each country, South and North Korean included. I know for a fact that the higher-ups were paid a lucrative sum to dispose of you. I don’t know the clients but it's a safe bet to assume it’s the American Military.”“If I was deemed so dangerous, why did you send only one person?”“That was a misunderstanding. Realman was desperate for money so he ignored the order and acted on his own. Not only did he fail but his id
The System didn’t warn Leiu about the presence of the Headless Soldier, which meant that he was definitely not in the capital. With that worry out of the way, Leiu rushed straight into the Royal Capital, literally bulldozing his way through all the enemies that barred his way. With the Darkness of the night enhancing his passives and skill power, he disposed of all obstacles with relative ease. Only a handful of Royal Knights were strong, but still manageable. The Dark Knight charged at two solitary Royal Knights guarding the South-Western part of the wall surrounding the castle. They were ready for an ambush, however, they could not defend against the agile assailant. Leiu’s greatsword was swung vertically at the knight’s shield, snapping it in half and flattening its
“What did you just say?” Stupefied, Dead Lamb stared at Fairti with a half-open mouth and a funny-looking expression. The young noble let out a heavy sigh then clicked his tongue. He turned his back to Dead Lamb and proceeded to check the stack of books he previously prepared. “I shouldn’t mock physically handicapped people but do consider another way of communication, okay? It’s not my problem if you’re slightly deaf and can’t hear my voice. I’m not a fan of speaking out loud, you see…” He dismissively waved his hand at Dead Lamb while adding, “Now be a good lad and leave me alone, will you? I’m a bit busy.” “...”
Fortunately, the Throne Hall was big enough to house the Moon Crawling Wyvern. Although the massive aerial beast wasn’t able to move freely, the limited space still allowed it to ravage at its heart's content. Ragins winds swept the closest Royal Knights, while the wyvern’s claw cut down anything in its path, soon leading to one-sided massacre.Meanwhile, Leiu continued his charge toward the fleeing King. Before he could reach Ebrador, however, the old Royal Knight who was rebuked by the King stopped him.With precise and fast movement, the elderly thrust his one-handed silver sword at Leiu’s chest, forcing him to roll to the side.The Dark Knight, despite dodging the first attack, was hit by the second.*Warring Royal Kn
Leiu's short rest was interrupted by the arrival of several knights with Princess Elizabeth leading them. Suffice to say, they were surprised by the corpses lying all around the Throne Hall. Eviscerated, beheaded, and dismembered bodies were scattered in every corner, the nauseating stench of blood dominating the air.“What happened her-ah!”Elizabeth was marching toward Leiu only to see the lifeless corpse of Sylvester, with the knight’s head resting a couple of meters away from the rest of its body.“Uncle Sylvester…”The girl’s hardened expression softened a bit. She walked to the corpse and performed a prayer before shifting her gaze to the silent Dark Knight.
“You’ve run out of Fire Bombs. What are you chasing him for?”Dead Lamb was running after Fairti Gicolt, unable to hold back his curiosity. By now, he was almost certain that Fairti had no combat abilities and that his shown level wasn’t a trick. Nevertheless, he did not attack him or bar his way, still hoping to initiate a quest.Strangely enough, even after killing five Holy Knights and forcing the King to flee, Fairti gave chase. The young noble had a frail body, unbefit for any physical combat, yet he was bravely, or perhaps recklessly, following the King and his strong protectors.Fairti halted his feet mid-run and abruptly turned to face Dead Lamb.“Quit hiding in the corner and l
