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
While Leiu and Seo Ae-Ri were doing their beast to limit the Black Mundus Beast’s movement by severing its legs, the cultists aimed at the beast exposed back and dealt as much damage as possible.Fairti, who was back on his feet and no longer injured, carefully approached the target while throwing one magical bomb after the other. Instead of aiming at its limbs and risk hitting his companions, he tried to damage the neck or the head, which were both elusive and hard to reach.Earlier, when Leiu tried attacking its head, it fiercely retaliated and even dodged its attack, which could only mean that it did not want to be in that specific spot.The conjuring of magical bombs was taxing for the blonde-haired noble, nevertheless, he ignored the slight dizziness he was experiencing and relied on the distraction
The troublesome and dangerous part of the Black Mundus Beast was its neck and head, especially the latter. The majority of the cast spell originated from the hideous small head, but after it was scorched by Fairti’s flames, the rest of the fight became dramatically easier.Leiu and Seo Ae-Ri cooperated with each other and relied on their defences to resist unavoidable attacks. Meanwhile, Fairti and the Shadow Cultists led by Rog kept their distance and never stopped their destructive bombardment.Eventually, ten minutes after the neck and head were burned to ash, the Black Mundus Beast was felled. However, as the thick legs crashed on the ground, neither Leiu nor his friends dropped their guards.The Dark Knight, with the Blade of Revolution in hand, faced the leader of the cultists, ready to con
“Are you sure you want to stay, Fairti?” “You make it sound as if we’re separating forever. I’ll be here when you’re back.” “Alright. Take care… and don’t cause any trouble.” Leiu sternly looked at the noble, who had more than ten pixies sitting on his head and some playfully poking his face. Since their equipment was broken during the fight against the Black Mundus Beast, Leiu decided to make a short trip to Earth. Although it was risky, he had to go and speak with Hye Nari as she was the only one he could trust and her contacts and resources were helpful in acquiring gear. Even if they left the Pixie Kingdom, there was no way to tell when they’ll reach a habitable visit in which a Market Place was available. Therefore, the swiftest alternative was through Hye Nari. Seo Ae-Ri will be accompanying him for assistance in case her organisation were to strike again. “I know how you two operate. I should be the one telling you not to do anything rash.” After bidding farewell to the p
“Sir, we have a problem.” The blindfolded elderly monk raised his head and looked at the half-exposed sky. “You think I can’t see it?” Dong-Hyun was snappish and surprised as he fished out his phone and called for more Transcendents. Unfortunately, it was too late for them to return. “Call all the soldiers! All! This is our chance!” The nervousness turned into excitement as the canopy was being split into Darkness and Light; a violent wind raged and whistled, the sky was dominated by two pure and uncontrollable energies the ignorant soldiers were awed by the frightening sight. Estelle Sigreen, who was still trapped in the relatively small and cubic room, first felt the drastic change in her body. A golden white radiance emanated from her body, piercing through the transparent walls and transforming her into a miniature sun. As she did not expect this, the Genesis Knight was initially surprised. Even with the significant boost in power, she did not dare attempt anything as the s
The battle between the Dark Knight and the three Transcendents was reaching its climax. More soldiers were coming in and with the target cornered by the risen undead, they finally had the opportunity to shower him with their bullets.Lost Witch, after a bit of struggle, managed to lift herself up and heal herself with the use of Potions and support skills.After almost getting killed by the youth, she became reluctant to continue fighting, especially when she saw him swing his massive greatsword and decapitate any undead that got near him.What was used to be an empty spot patrolled by soldiers was now dominated by rains of bullets, sinister darkness, and the moaning of dozens of undead.Leiu raised Orenmir above his head and blo
“Still no response?”“N-no sir!”Dong-Hyun was pacing around the room, constantly looking at his phone. Unfortunately, the signal was cut-off due to the unfolding chaos outside. To be specific, the very presence of the Dark Knight within the mountain caused the whole region to become unstable.Swirls of uncontrollable Mana burst from nothingness then rose into the sky, consequently splitting it in two.While the unexpected arrival of the Dark Knight was a pleasant surprise for Dong-Hyun, he was still worried. After all, only four Transcendents were present, and though they were individually strong, there was a chance they might fail.Only now did Dong-Hyun regret keeping Estelle here. As the Genesis Knight, the nemesis of the Dark Knight, her existence would naturally cause the presiding laws to twist and distort, giving rise to the frightening sight plastered on
Once back in the manor, Leiu did not talk to Seo Ae-Ri. He headed straight to the restroom and slumped on the bed, physically and mentally tired. He neither had the strength to remove his blood-soaked gear nor care about the nauseating stench. Vivid scenes of the battles and the massacre haunted his mind, and though he tried his best to purge them, it didn’t work. ‘It had to be done. It had to.’ From his perspective, his actions were justified, though that didn’t make him feel better. He did not personally know Estelle’s girl, nor was he forced to join Hye Nari. Still, he had his own principles and did not want to cause an innocent girl’s death. After all, the organization was using the Genesis Knight’s daughter as leverage… a hostage to force Estelle to come after him. Admittedly, Leiu did not look favorably upon his supposed ‘fated nemesis’, nevertheless, he never wanted to kill her or cross paths with her. He had his own problems to deal with and was disinclined to listen to t
“Do you understand now? The path you are seeking will end in ruination… not only for you but those you care about too.”“You were the one bound by the Covenant, not I. You let the tragedies and misery alter you permanently. Just because I became a Dark Knight doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll become like you.”“You say that, but are you not haunted by the past? The very existence of this room validates my claim.”Leiu shrugged his shoulders, looking unperturbed and eerily calm.“I have always been like this. Yes, I have suffered through much and I have no doubt that I will continue suffering, however, I move on. I grieve, I cry, I regret, but I find the strength to overcome anything.”He paused for a couple of seconds, his eyes narrowing as he stared back at Lexus.“I do not let being a Dark Knight define my identity. I care not about the intricacies of the so-called ‘balance’, nor will I ever. Try as you might, you won’t change my mind or deter me from my chosen course.”“I wonder if you
