Before the monster could kill Tenebris, Kusomi jumped in-between and stabbed the gaping maw.Her Aura became brighter as it ripped and sliced the flesh, however, it wasn’t able to completely stop the monster’s charge.Nevertheless, the Elven Chevalier stood her ground and swung again. An ancient light-green energy emitted from her body, empowering her and attracting the monster’s attention.Albeit having its flesh sliced and cut, the abomination didn’t stop. Its mouth grew bigger, layers of pointy teeth extending outward in a horrifying manner.It didn’t use any special type of Magic, though that wasn’t even needed considering its absurd physical ability.The elf’s Estoc, practically engulfed in resplendent light, was thrust one more time, unleashing a powerful blast that destroyed the ground.Kusomi’s attack tore a big hole through the ground, revealing another tunnel down below. She managed to jump back just in time, whereas the monster let out a hellish scream as its bloated body w
East of the Noules EmpireThe Blackened PlateauThe Weiji Alliance Military EncampmentAfter spending his brief forays in the Ice Snowlands and then attacking the ISB on Earth, Leiu finally returned to Menhit.“You killed them all?”“It wasn’t me who killed them, but their top executives and leaders are dead.”Once he confirmed that, the Goddess of Fury let out a hearty laugh and gave him a bear hug.“You didn’t disappoint, Dark Knight!”When she pulled her body back and let go of him, Leiu took a deep breath. Menhit was much taller than he was, and being hugged like that by her almost made him suffocate, and not to speak about Anne, who was standing a couple of feets away.“What of the Imperials?”With a bright smile on her face, Menhit briefed him about what occurred during his absence.Apparently, there was a big meeting between the army leaders of the Weiji Alliance and the military officers of Noules.Furthermore, Queen Elizabeth returned. After all the perpetrators in the Counci
South-East gate of Black Mountain City“What are we supposed to do?”“Try to stop him. Make sure he doesn’t slaughter everyone.”“He’s just one person. Why are you all so nervous?”Many Transcendents were lined up, armed to the teeth as they waited for the imminent arrival of the Nameless Knight.Elena had already declared that He was on his way to Black Mountain City. However, she only sent the strongest Transcendents in the Earth Coalition.They weren’t meant to attack the Dark Knight, simply resist if he attacked.“Without my order, do not attack him.”Frozen Torch, who stood at the front, turned to look at them. He was usually a cheerful guy, but he now had a very solemn and stoic face.Other than the Transcendents, there were also close to 500 knights, all wearing light-blue armors.Led by Knight Commander Silver Gicolt, who was familiar with Leiu.Elena had sent him specifically due to his relationship with Leiu. Time crept by, the atmosphere was heavy, and everyone was tense.
Ten more days passed, in which Kusomi didn’t stop absorbing the Nature Aspect. It kept empowering her to an unimaginable degree, but at the same time, her condition was getting noticeably worse.At times, her feet would stumble and she would lose balance. Also, albeit infrequently, she would cough some blood.Tenebris’ training with the sword, even after fifteen days, saw no improvement whatsoever. The only plausible explanation for this was his abysmal talent and weak body.After all, Kusomi tried to help him by injecting a bit more Nature Aspect into his body, which should have increased his stamina and increased his physical capabilities by a small margin, but even that didn’t have any effect.Humans were able to, broadly speaking, absorb the Nature Aspect. It would just disperse out of the body after some time, nevertheless, it was a bit strange that Tenebris, excluding the fact that it satiated his hunger and thirst, didn’t benefit from it all.“I got you!”As they were walking i
“When is the Hell Gate going to open?”After talking with Elena and the rest, Leiu left Black Mountain City altogether. He looked at his newest companion, the fearful Sumbus Darrar.Startled, the old Necromancer looked at the red moon hanging in the sky. Night has yet to fall, but the moon stuck out like a store thumb. It was still waxing, albeit at a very slow speed.“Two weeks, at most.”“And where’s the gate?”“I… I can only locate it when it is about to open.”As he saw the suspicious stare of the Dark Knight, Sumbus vigorously nodded his head while waving his hands around. “I swear, Dark Knight! I do not dare lie to you!”Seeing how the old man behaved, it was hard to think of him as the one from the legends. He was like an obedient dog, following Leiu and doing everything asked of him.In fact, he was sensible enough to notice Leiu’s relationship with Anne, so he treated the Vampire with the utmost politeness and respect.[User, a suggestion: Eliminate the Administrator in-]‘I
With the help of the Dark Archmage’s spell, Leiu and Anne were able to dive underwater and breathe. The Void Incarnate, which wasn’t even a living creature, simply jumped down and transformed into somesort of a hideous hammerhead shark.Leiu really wanted to question it as it never said it could change its appearance, but now wasn’t the time.The four swam deeper and deeper until the Void Rifts were in sight. They let out ominous purple glows, all haphazardly scattered everywhere.Albeit not at full speed, Leiu was able to swiftly reach them and used Primordial Darkness to forcefully close them down. Oddly enough, no Voidspawn came out to attack him. Only Void Riftss were present, which, rather than fortunate, felt like a bad omen.Thus, as they kept descending closer and closer to the seafloor, Leiu got rid of any Void Riftss in the way. It was a tedious but not overly-taxing process.Eventually, however, they reached the two, aforementioned, big Void Riftss. They were massive, but
Tenebris sat up and proceeded to wear his bloodied and dirty clothes back.‘I’ll be damned. You actually went through with it. I’m impressed, Tenebris.’While pretending as if he didn’t hear the voice, Tenebris looked to the side. Kusomi also properly sat up and stoically looked at him.“It hurt a bit. Other than that… it wasn’t anything special.”‘Hear that, dumbass? No chance you’re getting laid a second time.’After being pressed by the voice, Tenebris eventually relented and had sex with Kusomi. It wasn’t anything dramatic, and from beginning to end, it barely lasted an hour.Although he got to enjoy the soft body of a beautiful elf, Tenebris wasn’t that happy. He had hoped the two of them would ‘feel’ differently amidst the action and pleasure, but no such thing happened.The virgin elf was inexperienced, so he took the lead, but having sex like that didn’t really mean anything. At least not to him. He should have trusted his gut and refused, but feeble hope and lust persuaded hi
“Huff… huff..”Leiu was gasping for air aboard the ship’s deck. Anne was hugging him, relieved that he made it out alive.Sumbus was also sitting down, his complexion paler than usual. Before returning to the surface, Leiu closed the Void Rift with the Primordial Darkness. He had less than 20% health remaining and his mind was still befuddled.“I’m… okay, Anne.”“Drink this.”She forced him to drink three Health Potions, which did help with the physical wounds.“Leiu.”The Mermaid Queen stood a couple of feet away. Her heavy injuries notwithstanding, she was faring relatively well, at least better than him.[Lanna ‘Mermaid Queen’(Race: Astral Mermaid)(World Boss ‘S): Lv1027][Health: 220,729/1,500,000]“Lanna…”Leiu scrutinized her, noticing some similarities with the mermaid he had met in the past.Lanna had grown more mature and, clearly, considerably stronger. Admittedly, she and Leiu weren’t the best friends, but they did help each other in the ‘past’.“We could’ve killed Him.”
