“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
“H-how did you get here?”Ebrador the 5th, King of the Noules Empire, was panicking and gawking at the two individuals which appeared out of thin air. He was inside the Vault, the most secure and well-fortified place of the Royal Castle, yet, even after closing the entrance and putting guards, they managed to get inside, much to his disbelief.He had only ten Royal Knights guarding him, adding to that the five that accompanied the Queen, it makes fifteen, which wasn’t enough.“Your Majesty, it is a pleasure to meet you again.”Fariti Gicolt elegantly bowed, then diverted his gaze to the numerous shiny treasures lying in every corner of the spacious golden room. It was a sight to b
The explosions initiated by Leiu and Falkar’s clash of attacks did considerable damage to the Royal Castle. After the Court Mage teleported away, Leiu had wanted to give chase but the collapse of the roof and the ground left him with no choice but to temporarily seek a safer area.The ground beneath his feet crumbled, making him fall downwards, however, he was able to safely land and get out of the falling rubble’s way. It took a couple of minutes for everything to calm down and the dust to slightly clear.Leiu surveyed his surroundings only to discover that he was in the King’s private chambers. The absurdly big room lacked its aura of luxury or the ever-lasting scent of perfume. All that was left was broken chairs and tables, snapped beds, and a lot of differently-shaped boulders.
