“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
“Junyah’s son? That’s unexpected.” “I know right!” While gobbling up food, Alaqon was sitting opposite the composed Lanistra and recounting his short-lasted adventure with the Night Adjudicator. The two Demon Lords had nothing in common and, as the 66th Demon, Alaqon would seldom be granted an audience with Lanistra. However, ever since he mentioned his meeting with Leiu and how he helped him, Lanistra no longer treated him with indifference or hostility. Their territories weren’t close to each other, but, as of late, Alaqon was either getting invited by Lanistra or visiting on his own. He was welcomed with much hospitality and no one dared to do anything to him. “Curiouser an
The lack of real ‘sensations’ and the somewhat blurry surroundings clearly suggested that he was in a dream. Nevertheless, Leiu felt completely aware and a little bit confused to find himself back here again.It was the same gloomy room in which he was supposed to fight the man who had ‘taken’ care of him when he was young. In the first time, the Darkness had swallowed his opponent in an instant. However, it was different now, as it was not a man who faced him but a youth.He had long raven-black hair that reached his back, thin dry lips, sharp jet black eyes, a long-bridged pointy nose, and small scar above his left brow.Suffice it to say, the young man was entirely unfamiliar to the perplexed Leiu. For that reason, he opted for silence while trying to figure out what was happ
The System informed Leiu that Rotten Pot died, however, the fight has not ended yet. Instead of vanishing into thin air, Rotten Pot rose back to his feet and tried to grab the Dark Knight’s sword but the latter bashed his shield in retaliation. More bony projectiles appeared behind Rotten Pot and were about to shoot at Leiu only for him to disappear. Startled to see his opponent going invisible, Rotten Pot used the spell from earlier and caused rotten hands to surge from the ground but they still could not immobilise the target. Before he had the time to retreat, Rotten Pot was tackled by the Dark Knight then bashed on the head. ‘-143’ ‘-279’ ‘-678 (Critical)’
The Pixie Kingdom wasn’t as big as Ferywonia or the Ice Snowlands, however, it was still a sizable piece of land. To expunge any trace of the Shadow Cult from the pixies’ domain, Leiu and his companions have to thoroughly search the place.Fortunately, in addition to offering to repair and enchant his weapons, the Pixies were more than happy to lend their assistance.The twin blue pixies, So’ly and Bo’ly, were going to accompany Leiu and the rest and aid them in locating the hiding cultists.Without the explicit consent of the pixies, it was impossible to access their real home. Then again, Leiu already knew that the Shadow Cult was here not to provoke or attack the Pixies but to capture one of the rare creatures that regularly ‘escape’ from the waterfall.
The orb in Rotten Pot’s possession absorbed the necessary quantity of blood and the final touch was to fuse it with the Dead Man’s set.Just as Rotten Pot started the fusion, an explosive shock wave struck him. He was blown away, part of his gear getting burned by Fairti’s white flames.However, not even this minor setback stopped the outraged player. Rotten Pot did not even restore his Health or pay any attention to his enemies. The sense of urgency and the desire to complete his Grand Quest pushed him to the edge.Instead of sacrificing his body and transforming into a malevolent and power beast made from Black Magic, Rotten Pot chose the alternative.The Dead Man’s set let out a hoarse and creepy sound as it emitted
