“Paladins!”Hundreds of Zartian Paladins formed a line and swung their swords at the Undead. “Hahahaha! Got you, losers!”Frankenstein, standing at the back and on his own, was holding a skeletal staff while casting a wide-range Necromancy spell.The scope of his Black Magic was truly frightening: It encompassed almost the entire battlefield.Every corpse that was lying on the ground slowly stood up, turning into a zombie or a skeleton.It was a disaster as the Weiji Alliance was forced to turn around again and defend against the horde of Undead. Most of the Undead were weak, but there were thousands upon thousands of them. Every casualty, from both sides, had risen from the dead and charged at the living.“We’ll stay behind and fend them off!”Hector, General of the Krayten Combat Legion, bellowed atop his lungs. “We will stay as well!”The Paladin’s second-in-command also agreed. Although things were messy, the clustered forces split up.The Sun Armies and the Anurian Cavalry cha
Leiu and Seo broke away from the center of the bloody fight. Any nearby soldiers didn’t attack them after seeing Seo’s deadliness. But, the two were able to advance for a bit before the real danger came.Leiu saw a thick black fog spread from the front, but before it could reach them, Seo used [Storm], which blew away the fog.This was only the beginning, however, as a big group of Transcendents attacked.Seo shrouded herself with [Fog Masquerade] while continuously using [Lightning Shock]. Meanwhile, Leiu jumped out of the way of several arrows then raised his greatsword to block an attacker.The Player’s twinblade clashed against Kahra’s Greatsword, but when the Leiu applied more force, the enemy opted to jump back.Leiu couldn’t counterattack as several nimble and quick Players came from all sides.Dark flames wrapped around his blade as slashed at three of them. They tried to defend, but his Sword Essence was too potent, too destructive to block with a skill.Two of them were ki
‘Inos! Something is wrong! Where are you?!’The whispers muddling Leiu’s thoughts were getting louder and clearer, but they sounded like gibberish. An invasive yet powerful energy, one which felt completely alien, was swelling inside of his body. It wasn’t harmful, but Leiu knew this wasn’t something good, especially with Inos not responding.While running toward the Cocoon, he turned his head and saw Frankenstein fight Anne, Seo, and Menhit.‘I’m almost there!’The Cocoon was 200 meters away, at most, and there was nothing in his way. However, that didn’t last long as a swirling shadowy energy, a bit similar to the one used by Seo, materialised right outside the shiny barrier.Leiu stopped dead in his tracks and raised his greatsword to guard. Surprisingly, the new arrival didn’t attack him.With a frown, Leiu looked at the slim and pale-skinned man. He recognized him.“It is not too late to turn around and leave, Leiu.”“Why are you here?”Vins solemnly stared at Leiu, “I’m afraid t
Radiant Paladin Barand, James Silverheart, and General Hector were able to fight and kill a third of the Transcendents. The rest escaped to safety. After all, Players had to be out-of-combat for a short amount of time before they could use skills that teleported them to safety.Basically, the Transcendents were done risking their lives and opted to retreat. It wasn’t fighting for any longer, especially not against three ‘Bosses’ simultaneously.“I’m good… good!”Hector was barely able to stand. His body was riddled with wounds and his complexion was deathly pale.Barand cast a Healing Spell on him, but it wasn’t enough to recover from relatively serious wounds.The three had no time to chat. They joined the main fight, which was getting worse by the minute. The main issue was Frankenstein’s Necromancy spell, which remained active even after he left.It was a true nightmare. Any person who was killed would rise again and attack. Simply put, the Weiji Alliance had to kill the enemy twic
“Agh!”Frankenstein was on the cusp of reaching Leiu only for two more people to intervene.Menhit’s spear came arching downwards, hitting a barrier made of fog. The blinding Divine Essence alone was hurting the Lich.[Soul Grasp]The Elder Lich clawed at the air, in the Goddess’ direction, making her stumble and almost fall on the ground. She clutched her chest, more Divine Power emitting from her body in resistance to the Undead’s spell.Anne rushed from the side, Estoc in hand. She had crawled her way out of that illusory world, but not without sustaining a scary amount of injuries. Her movements were sluggish and slow, and her Sword Essence was weak.Despite that, she stabbed her Estoc toward the Elder Lich. Her attack, albeit weak and incapable of hurting the enemy, did break its concentration from Menhit.The Elder Lich blasted Anne with its miasma, but the young vampire was able to cut through it with what little strength she had left. With trembling arms, Anne raised her Esto

With the Headless Soldier and the Elder Lich either dead or gone, Leiu turned his attention to Vins but only for a brief moment.The slender man, supporting himself with a cane, didn’t look scared or regretful. Vins expected the Dark Knight to attack him as well, but that didn’t happen, surprisingly. He saw him transform into a bolt of darkness, speeding away toward the main battlefield.Within less than a minute, Leiu was there, looking at the two fighting armies, still killing each other.Before he did anything, the Dark Knight took a deep breath and gathered his Primordial Darkness. He knew that trying to stop them with words wouldn’t work, so he resorted to a more extreme measure.The battle was in the Weiji Alliance’s favor, but Leiu didn’t want to continue seeing them slaughter each other. The real enemies were out there, waiting for an opportune moment to strike. The less people were there to defend this land, the worse it was going to be for everyone.[Child of Darkness]Lik
The next day.“I heard you’re leaving. Do what you have to do and then come to Rachdale. There are important matters to discuss.”“Rachdale?”Leiu looked at the handsome man, leader of the Renaissance Guild. Emperor had come to him before he departed for the Pixie Kingdom along with Anne.The Weiji Alliance was still recovering, and though there was some objection, Menhit declared that they would temporarily stay in the Blackened Plateau.“Yes. Even now, the System still wants the Players to kill you. I have many things to reveal to you but this isn’t the right place to do that. And, to make things clear, we are not with the Earth Coalition.”Although confused by the man’s vague answer, Leiu simply nodded his head.He glanced at the clear sky, on which hung the waxing Red Moon. Soon… very soon, the Hell Gate was going to open.The gears of chains were in full motion. This brief war was only the beginning.“The Imperials are retreating to the capital. If the Council is not entirely st
