“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 r
“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.”
“I advise you to close your eyes lest you get dizzy.”Fairti put his hand on Seo Ae-Ri’s shoulder and used the other to activate the Orb of Displacement, the same powerful artifact that he had used to get on the roof of the Royal Castle.Although the energy within it was all but spent, it could still perform short Spatial Displacement, which should be enough to escape the Elven Village.Despite his care-free nature, Fairti wasn’t someone who would risk his own life when there existed a safer alternative.After they had been explicitly warned to not wander off on their own, Fairti and Seo Ae-Ri returned to their temporary room and, from there, teleported to the outside. “Ahh!”Estelle Sigreen suddenly fell on the ground and clutched her head while screaming outloud. She was assaulted by an excruciating headache and though it lasted for a split second, it still made her sweat buckets and involuntarily tremble.Very much like the Dark Knight, she received the same exact ‘buff’ that regenerated her Stamina, Mana, and Health. Additionally, her stats were significantly increased and there was a torrent of notifications that informed her of how far the target was.“We’re close…” Said Estelle with a relatively low voice.She got back on her feet and scanned her surroundings but only saw lush flora and overgrown plants.They had entered the Yajℜ Hell Gate Chapter 416 : Convergence of Dark and Light (2)
Fortunately, the preparation for the ritual proceeded peacefully and without any interruptions.After Fairti readied everything and chanted a long and complicated incantation, the familiar and ominous mist of the Harrowing burst from the crudely-drawn circle on the ground.The small quantity of Nether Grass was burnt instantly, the Manticore’s heart was engulfed by the green mist, and the poured blood bubbled and spread across the entire circle.Last but not least was the Dwarven Core, which floated in the air and rapidly spun, emitting a bit of steam as the space began to distort and ghastly bone-chilling cries echoed throughout the forest.Fairti backed away while Leiu grabbed Orenmir and took the front, impatiently awaiting for the summoned c
Eymerik Sanford Ligh Gold, the commander of the Holy Crusade, a Holy Knight, and the favored son of the Ligh Gold Aristocratic Family in the nation of Lown Eoa. Young Eymerik did not look scared or threatened by the Dark Knight; He pulled his thin white sword from its sheath and faced his opponent. “The least I can do after such a long trip is take your measure.” “...” In response, Leiu snorted and sprung into action. He used [At End’s Reach], planning to incapacitate the arrogant Holy Knight, however, it didn’t proceed as expected. With impressively fast movements, Eymerik spun his body and thrust his sword. The blade, albeit thin, was imbued w
“Hahaha it is always exhilarating to be summoned like this!” The Undead Jester’s body bent inhumanely as its face leaned closer to Fairti Gicolt. Although the eye-sockets were empty, it was clear that it was scrutinizing the noble and looking beyond the exterior appearance. “Yes yes! A vibrant soul! Hot! So very hot!” Without beating around the bush or wasting any second, Fairti loudly declared, “We wish to go to the Harrowing.” “We? Who’s we? All of them?” The Undead Jester pointed its finger at the group of Holy Knights, its face creeping ever closer to the solemn Fairti.
