“Remember that you will be standing before the Guardian of our sacred land. No disrespect will be tolerated.”
As he warned the travelers, Zazmyr looked specifically at Fairti, who was clearly the troublesome one out of the three.
Due to how big the ‘village’ was, it took them twenty minutes of walking to reach their destination. They got to enjoy mesmerizing sights of the ancient elven city, dominated by tall and viny trees as well as a unique architecture.
There was a calming and warm breeze and a fragrant scent in every corner of the elven village. While they did get many strange gazes from the elves, neither Leiu nor the other two paid those any heed.
Through a staircase made of large yet sturdy leaves, they climbed
“Leiu!”“Leiu.”Echoes of those distant voices were the only thing that could be heard in this world of darkness. It was bitterly cold, but more than that, the all-consuming darkness made him feel an overwhelming solitude… as if he was left alone.Whether it was Lethra, his little sister and only family member, or Carla Skelgan, the noble lady who was killed, or Mira, the unfortunate soul who accompanied and helped him through thick and thin yet he failed to protect.His life had become a tapestry of tragedies and problems, a never-ending battle. Yes, it was tiring to be driven to one corner after the other, pushed to the limits in every sense of the world. However, Leiu was never a person to give up so easily, e
Two black baboons leapt at Leiu, each swinging a crudely made club. Although they moved with impressive agility, they lacked any sort of coordination. His brief farming session with the 66th Demon had increased his level and stats by a significant amount. Moreover, the rewards he had obtained when completing the Grand Quest were extremely powerful and provided him with exactly what he needed. His Stamina, Health, and Defense had increased. He had contemplated switching between the Zombie Face Ring and the Woeful Ring of Candice, however, it soon became clear that the latter was arguably better. After all, the latter increased Stamina Recovery, it did not increase all of his stats. As for the Ring of Damnation; As per the System’s instructions, the accessory will permanently ‘take’ 5% of his s
In a small but exquisitely decorated hall, filled with golden pillars and snow-white marble ground, a tall but frail-looking elderly man with a long gray beard and wrinkled skin was trying to stand straight as he held onto a disproportionately large thin staff.This old man was the Pope of the Holy Church, a highly-influential individual who wields tangible and intangible power.No one would question his decision nor oppose him, and with how fast the power of the Holy Church was spreading, his authority only continued to rise.“You should have waited, Edward.”The Pope looked at the kneeling man in a simple white robe. He was a Cardinal, someone second only to the Pope himself.

“What’s that? Is that what you’re using to track her?”Leiu, who was walking next to Erka’nay, glanced at a small cubic artifact in her hand. It was pulsating with light, and, with each passing day, the radiance was getting brighter.“Your only job is to find her and bring her back.” Spat back the silver-haired elf as she kept looking at the artifact.“What if she refuses to come? Have you ever considered that?”“...”The Vice-captain looked at the Dark Knight and frowned,“What she wants is irrelevant. She must return, whether she likes it
“You will have to kill the Sage if we’re to get Selphie.”Erka’nay applied ointment on her wounds as she spoke with a cold and strict tone.Leiu gave her a look of mockery and did not deign to answer.“Did you hear me?”“I do not work for you.”“You have to honor your end of the deal, is that not the case? That Sage won’t let us take her unless you kill her.”“Maybe we can strike a bargain. Then again, I don’t know why you need the girl so I’m in no position to judge, really.” The Dark Knight, with Selphie bound and resting on his shoulder, treaded the unfamiliar land looking for the portal leading outside. Alas, the task proved extremely difficult as it was close to impossible to navigate these jungles sustained in mid-air.Without a proper guide, Leiu found himself going in circles or traveling from one floating piece of land to the other without a clear destination in mind.When night fell on this separate world, he finally stopped walking and sat down.Selphie had long since stopped struggling, she simply nestled near a tree and looked at the ground.Meanwhile, the young man stared at the starless and darkened canopy, strangely feeling tired. Not just because of the fight from earlier, but in general. He rRe; Hell Gate Chapter 413 : One of Two Paths (3)
“It’s not like I have a choice in the matter anymore.”Leiu shrugged and sat properly as he faced the elven girl. He expected to die from the beast’s attacks and revive with the use of [Re; Hell Gate]. Since that did not happen and he was rescued, there was no need to kill himself and redo everything.He would continue this path and see the outcome, and when it becomes clear that ‘siding’ with Selphie would not benefit him, he would start all over again.Unfortunately, his arms were in pain and needed more time to recover. Furthermore, he was in an unfamiliar place and possibly surrounded by hostile people.“Seriously. When you saved me that night, I thought you were a good person.”
