Leiu, Fairti, and Seo Ae-Ri had been continuously dealing with hordes of enemies for hours on end. However, everything came to an unexpected change when they sat down to rest.
The noble and the assassin were bickering, as is their wont, but their vision abruptly turned black and, before they knew it, all three found themselves in an isolated place.
They were individually separated, each seeing a unique vision that reflected their inner minds.
The first was Seo Ae-Ri, who drew a cold breath as she stood inside a cramped prison cell. However, she did not panic, she calmly looked around and noticed that the cell was open, and beyond it laid a circular room with no exits.
‘Is this some kind of trick?’
Eymerik Sanford Ligh Gold, wearing a new and shiny set of white armor, knelt in front of Cardinal Edward. Unlike his usual calm demeanor, however, was nowhere to be seen. His handsome face was dominated by rage and bloodthirstiness as he looked down. “I trusted in your abilities, Eymerik. The Dark Knight is still weak and it shouldn’t have been difficult to eliminate him. I sent you on an official Holy Crusade yet you came back alone and in near death!” “...” The Cardinal paced around while cursing and berating Eymerik, who maintained silence, his fists clenched in anger. “Fifty one Holy Knights dead and the son of Lord Gahn almost killed. Rumors of your failure are alre
Volume 5 : The Memories of OldThe first to wake up was Leiu, who, instead of pain and dizziness, felt an unprecedented clarity. He experienced somesort of euphoria while getting transported away from the Harrowing, a strange sensation that was accompanied by a feeling of serenity and power.Although it was for a brief period, he experienced vivid memories of another person. Unfortunately, the memories were segmented and not enough, nevertheless, Leiu was certain that they were those of Lexus, the first Dark Knight.They were drilling into his mind and soul, wanting to integrate themselves with him, but he resisted them. Even trapped in Lexus’ body and basking in that exhilaration and comfortable sensation, he knew ‘Chronicles of Lost Eras Author: Historian and Archeologist François Boulard.

“There doesn’t seem to be anything interesting added.”“...”Seo Ae-Ri looked at the board with a frown. She didn’t like seeing her name written there, but it seemed neither Leiu nor Fairti were curious about knowing more about her, much to her relief.Fairti did not linger in the Studying Room. Like all the rest, he wanted to have a good night’s sleep so he headed back to the Living Room.“...”Noticing that the assassin was a bit odd as she fidgeted a bit and was stealing glancing at him, Leiu faced her and said,“Do you have anything you want to say to me?&r
At the foot of Black Mountain, past the territory of the centaurs, there was a slope covered in lava pools and inhabited by the Fire Salamanders.Ever since Black Mountain City was ravaged by the Blight, most players headed South.Those who stayed busied themselves with the minor quests in nearby villages and towns.Currently, within a large pool of raging lava, a World Boss was fighting for its life.A rain of glistening silver arrows descended on an absurdly big Salamander with a long scaled tail and two strikingly thick horns wrapped in flames.The projectiles were unable to pierce the tough scales of the boss, but they did attract its attention for half a moment. Astrid, the sole member and the guild leader of the Unholy Gladiators, spared no effort in chain-killing the five who had betrayed her. Eventually, they used their only means of escape and logged off, but Astrid’s rage wasn’t quenched yet. Unfortunately, with no one to target her anger towards, she could only seethe with anger and inwardly curse her folly. She let herself be killed by the soldiers, which made her lose levels but, at least, would get rid of the accumulated infamy. As she sat down, grumbling and grunting, someone approached her. “E-ehm, Astrid?” When the bronze-skinned woman raised her head, she saw the red-haired Elena stop a couple of paces away.Re; Hell Gate Chapter 431 : Fire and Shadow (1)
The shattering of space itself caused what was commonly known as a Spatial Tear, which initiated an unstoppable suction force. Astrid roared and started spinning, resisting the suction for a couple of breaths and allowing herself to distance herself to a safer spot. The Shadow Beasts kept their relentless onslaught but it was no use against the enraged warrior. Her large axes were spitting waves of flames, scorching the grassy ground and slashing them and their Shadow-aspected spells. With the Shadow Beasts down and no way for Vins to instantly summon them back, Astrid performed a swift and big leap. With the skill [Enrage] active, not only did she receive significantly magical and physical damage, her stats were increased by an outrageous amount. She moved with an absurd speed, crossing her axes then hammering them down on Vins, who used [Black Wall]. A thick wall made of intangible Shadow Magic sprung from the ground, resisting Astrid’s ferocious attack for half a second before
