Early in the morning of the next day, Leiu was led to the Royal Castle, which was being reconstructed by hundreds of people, including hired and resident mages.
Queen Elizabeth ordered them to remove the rubble and uncover the buried treasures. She also did not forget to dispatch a couple of loyal knights to closely monitor the construction workers lest they steal anything.
With Zeno taking the lead, Leiu was guided to a relatively small and newly-built Vault. The walls were made of shiny white marble and the roof sustained by luminous golden pillars. It was definitely an impressive sight for something built in such a short amount of time.
“These are almost all the treasures. You can pick anything you like, though I doubt you can use most of them.”

In total, 9 items were chosen from the piles of treasures. Leiu first focused on the rings, which turned out to be more interesting than he anticipated. After fighting so many Royal Knights and Falkar, Leiu learnt, through the hard way, that what he lacked the most was Stamina and Stamina Recovery.He needed to be able to fight for a prolonged period of time without resting, or at least minimal resting. Therefore, the Zombie Face Ring enticed him greatly, especially since it considerably increased his Stamina Recovery while also offering him a bit of stats increase.Next was the Woeful Ring of Candice, which not only increased all of his stats by a whopping 40 points, but also granted him two passive skills. Admittedly, [Love Me] was highly situational, but [Hate Me] was a totally different thing. To permanently have his Defens
Leiu’s Stats increased by a decent amount, but the addition of several skills was what excited him the most. [Her Last Vow], [Distortion], [Heaven Break] will make things much easier in the future. In comparison to other classes, especially mage-related, Leiu’s arsenal of skills was and still remains severely lacking. Even a warrior, for example, would have over 20 skills at Lv100 or higher. Actually, mages would have double that amount, though that’s only because they rely mostly on spells instead of normal physical attacks. [Distortion] was a skill similar to [Tainted Blood], the unique skill of the LifeBlood Boots. With the use of not one but two clones, he would have a lot more opportunities to trick clever opponents, especially hostile sentient-beings, which do not have a static and never-changing chain of spells, like World
“Ah!”Fairti let out a feminine cry and sat up, profusely sweating and looking confused. He looked around him, soon spotting Madam Skelgan, Leiu, and Zeno Ver Kantika.He clutched his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.“Well… shit! I’m alive again.”He followed up with a hearty laugh, which put a smile on everyone’s face, including Leiu.“My dear, you slept a lot. Usually, I’d make my patients rest more, but you need to move around and stretch your limbs.”The Madam covered her mouth and chuckled. After examining Fairti’s body one
“It is done.”Excluding Zeno, Elizabeth, Fairti, and the Dark Knight. There were about a dozen royal officials, including the Minister of External Affairs, who was amongst the few not replaced after the fall of Ebrador.With so many eye-witnesses, Leiu and Fairti were no longer branded as criminals or enemies of the Empire, which was a great relief. With the burden of being chased by Bounty Hunters and greedy players alike finally lifted, Leiu could be more at ease when traveling and not always worry about a surprise ambush.“You’re all excused.”The Queen sighed and looked at the officials, who respectfully bowed and left the Throne Hall. Before heading to the Ya’jna Elven Forest, Leiu was determined to put an end to the assassins on Earth. Although he rarely returns there, he did not want them to keep pestering him, either there or on Hell Gate.It was time to test Seo Ae-Ri’s claims and see if she had told him the truth or not. Once Leiu was done talking to Fairti, he teleported back to Earth and appeared in Hye Nari’s office, which was currently dark and empty.It was around midnight on Earth, which was the perfect time to start the cleanup. The Dark Knight’s passive were instantly activated, and with the enemies oblivious to his inevitable attack, he was confident that everything will proceed smoothly, more or less. “The cold shoulder? You know that’s going to take us nowhere. I find conversing much better than unnecessary bloodshed… but it’s a bit too late to say that, right?” The man had a unique mustache and did not seem afraid of the Dark Knight or the least bit nervous. He kept pointing the gun at Leiu while speaking, “This was supposed to be a trap to either capture or kill you, but I knew it would fail. Simply put, the higher-ups underestimate you too much. Thus did I come personally, to show them what you’re truly capable of. Suffice it to say, your demonstration just now was satisfying, but it’s not enough to push my superiors to resort to more extreme methods.” “...” &nbRe; Hell Gate Chapter 367 : The Hunter And The Hunted (2)

Leiu’s eventful night had ended relatively fast. Unfortunately, he did not achieve his goal, though he was pleased after cutting that man’s left arm. He still had a decent amount of skills he had yet to use, and that’s while excluding [Milkan’s Savagery].Instead of leaving the area, Leiu teleported back to the Eternal Abyss Manor, in which Seo Ae-Ri and Fairti were waiting.The dandy-youth was sitting on the couch, his legs crossed and his attention wholly focused on the female assassin.Seo Ae-Ri was sitting a distance away, looking impatient and annoyed. Upon the Dark Knight’s return, she jumped to her feet and gave him a long and intense stare.“So, how did it go?”
The place was quiet and beautiful, usually devoid of any unwelcome visitors. Today was different, however, as Leiu and his two companions just arrived near a big crystal clear lake at the foot of a small but breath-taking waterfall.Grass and all sorts of colorful flowers grew on the edges of the upper and lower edges of the waterfall, as well as around the circular lake.At the left side of the lake, there was an open grassy area, a suitable place for a picnic or camping. There, at the center, Emperor sat on the ground and silently looked at the sky while humming.When he heard the approaching footsteps of the Dark Knight, he stood up and beamed.“You kept your promise! I’m relieved.”
