2020-08-21 11:43:0035 minutes or so passed, Leiu's Health and Stamina fully recovered, he equipped the old beginner's armor, which was totally useless, at least it wasn't totally destroyed like the newly bought one, as he saw the state of that armor, Leiu could only feel sadness and grief, he lost a whopping 3 silver for it, yet it didn't even last an hour!
After taking a breath of fresh yet cold air, Leiu got up and headed upstairs, there is really no use staying here, he tried roaming the manor and inspecting the other rooms, but he couldn't step in them, as if an invisible force was not letting him pass.
it's a pity as he was curious about this place, maybe there is a hidden treasure, but his hopes were crushed when he fount out he was unable to enter any room.
With one last look around the place, he climbed the stairs slowly, he was wary of his surroundings, you never know when an enemy would jump at you, hopefully, the lights won't go out, it's true he got used to fighting in darkness, but having some light is never bad.
As he climbed all the stairs and gazed around, he saw many doors, all of them were closed, the atmosphere on the second floor seemed completely different. If the first floor seemed gloomy, this one felt creepy and extremely cold, it's as if it was snowing.
Leiu roamed around the broad floor, he counted at least 20 doors, but he couldn't open a single one, all of them had the same repelling force as downstairs.
After spending 10 minutes roaming all the floor, it was huge, for a floor in a manor, of course. It may even be a castle, he tried opening every door he stumbled upon, but none opened until he encountered a room, without a door.
First, he gazed at it from outside, a bit suspicious and cautious, but after pondering for a minute, he decided to enter it, and to his surprise, unlike the other rooms downstairs, which also had no doors, this one didn't have a repelling force.
As his foot stepped on the room's ground, a message popped up.
You have entered the second Trial's ground, the test will begin in 30 seconds, please prepare yourself.
'!!'
Although he somehow expected it, he never imagined it will only give him only 30 seconds, furthermore, it didn't even give him an explanation about the trial, again!
Leiu could only grit his teeth and unsheath his sword, while tightly holding it, he looked around, inspecting the room.
The room looked decent, it's like it was someone's office, there was a wooden but luxurious desk, and what seemed like a comfortable wheelchair near it, there was also a sofa and a small table in front of it too.
Apart from that, there was nothing else that caught his attention, until his eyes landed on a painting. It took a large portion of the wall.
It a fine piece of art, truly, although it's only a painting and Leiu was not an artist or an expert in those things, he was sure that such paintings would attract anyone and everyone's attention even in reality.
A man, with long black hair and a long dark sword behind him, were on that painting, he was on his knees while holding a silver-haired woman in his arms, she seemed to be unconscious and blood was on her white dress, as for the background of the painting, there were countless dragons, giants and other weird beasts coming toward the man's direction.
A sunset was also drawn, the picture looked so realistic and filled with life, yet at the same time, it excluded a bit of coldness, it's like it had emotions.
30 seconds passed in the blink of an eye, Leiu's attention was drawn toward the painting that he didn't notice that the time was up.
Nothing happened for a second, however, all of a sudden, his surroundings changed, he now was on a dark space, much like the first trial, but there was a bit of light, like a sun.
The place was weird, although it's dark, there bright light high above, providing enough light for him to see his surroundings, there was nothing special to gaze at, only normal ground which was the same as the one in the manor, apart from that, there was literally nothing.
After 5 seconds, something happened, more precisely, something appeared, approximately 10 meters from Leiu.
A wooden puppet, the height of a normal person appeared, it had no features, no nose or ears, neither did it have a mouth of eyes, just a normal wooden puppet, although it was bigger than usual, that was it.
It took a weird stance, like a martial artist and faced Leiu, who was momentarily startled by its appearance.
But that shock only remained for a second before he held his sword and charged, at least, this trial was better, it presented an enemy in front of him, so he had to defeat it.
With fast speed, he rushed at the wooden puppet and slashed with his Steel Sword, the enemy was not able to react in time as the sword easily penetrated the wooden pupped and cut it in half.
Maybe it was just a weak opponent, at least that's what Leiu thought.
As he got rid of the enemy, he looked around to see if there was any other, but there was none, fortunately.
He stood there for some time, waiting, and just as he guessed, after 30 seconds, 2 wooden puppets appeared.
Wooden Puppet Fighter Lv11
As he gazed at their health bar and Level, Leiu felt a bit relieved, they were not that strong, compared to him that is, like the previous one, those two took a fighting stance, but before they could launch their attacks, Leiu was already next to them, with clean and precise sword strikes, he finished them. They were even easier to kill than the black beasts.
As for the amount of experience they gave, it wasn't that much, only 2% or less, and he couldn't even loot them, so it was a bit disappointing.
Speaking of looting, he didn't loot the dark beasts too, it's not like he tried and failed, but he never tried as he couldn't, they didn't give him time to loot, it took 2 to 3 seconds, but even those seconds were important and crucial.
30 more seconds passed and 4 wooden puppets appeared, all of them were fighters too, as he gazed at the enemies, a crazy yet logical thought struck his mind.
'Please don't tell me it's what I think it is, please....'
He read far too many stories that had things like this, the enemy would duplicate when you kill them, it the most annoying and hard trials one could face and here he is, probably doing it.
First, he didn't think like that, but as he saw the 4 wooden puppets, how could he not think like that.
Be it 10 or 20 similar wooden puppets, he could deal with this amount, they were not that hard to begin with, and easy to kill, but what if there were hundreds? He was not superman or a cheat like character, he only began playing a few hours ago.

Outside of Black Mountain City“The Red Moon hasn’t changed.”Vins remarked as he looked to the sky. “I thought you’ll come back once it is time.”“I didn’t want to come fetch you at the last second. Plus, it won’t be long before the Hell Gate appears.”Vins didn’t argue back, he solemnly nodded once. Although his relationship with Leiu was bad, there was no need to provoke him at any given opportunity.They were enemies, and the fact that Leiu actually came back to get him meant that, to some extent, his words had convinced him a bit, at least enough to let him come along.“In the meantime, we’re going after Void Rifts. I trust you don’t mind?”“I said I will help.”“Good.”…One week laterAstriaThe Phantom Ocean (South-West of Weiji)Amidst the raging and haunted waters, there was a sky-piercing and unshakable spire that was unaffected by the ten-feet high waves crashing into it.The spire was relatively big and ominous, even at a glance.

Chapter 557 Administrator
Leiu spent quite a long time in the Studying Room. Unfortunately, the available information about the Reverie Comos was lacking and unsatisfactory. It just told him what he already knew: The Reverie Cosmos was a separate plane of existence in Mundus, not unlike the Harrowing. It was accessible only to those with ‘high’ spiritual energy, which was simply not enough to go on.Although, even if Leiu knew how to enter it, he wouldn’t go there, at least not now.There were much more pressing matters than delivering Lost Witch to the Reverie Cosmos. The Hell Gate was about to open and he needed to be there when it did. Once he was done with his pondering, Leiu went to talk to Sumbus Darrar.“So?”The old man was in the ‘Living Room’, gobbling down the delicious feast without a care in the world.After wiping his oily lips, the Necromancer awkwardly laughed,“Her name is Emilia. She told me she doesn’t remember what happened… only that you killed her and then she woke up after we killed

“It’s over…”The Elven Chevalier had a look of relief and fatigue on her face. She kept holding on her blade as she stared at Tenebris.Unlike her, he looked absolutely miserable. Whether it was his dirt-covered pale-face, his sweaty and greasy hair, his trembling and bloodied hands, or his shredded clothes.“Hold on. I’ll heal you.”With slow steps, she approached him, unaware that a tiny pit of flesh crawled on the ground and leapt at her arm.“Watch out!”Tenebris saw it first, but his warning came too late. Kusomi, panicking a bit, tried to the flesh but it dug into her skin and then went inside her body.Her body instantly flashed with a silver light, an attempt to use overwhelming energy to force out the worm-like flesh.“Ah…”Kusomi fell to her knees and let go of her estoc, her body convulsing and her mouth coughing blood. The light emitting from her body grew dim and then disappeared.As her body wobbled and then fell to the side, the elf- with all the strength she could mus
Chapter 556 Concept of Destruction
[User, there is an increasing fluctuation of energy from the g-]Eva’s voice turned into silence, but more surprising was the abrupt change of environment.Sumbus, Leiu, and Voido, were standing in an endlessly dark world, but the ‘Darkness’ was completely different from the norm. It wasn’t Primordial Darkness or simply an overabundance of Darkness energy. This was something else entirely.Before anyone could speak, innumerable lightning bolts pierced through the ‘darkness’, shattering like glass and revealing an empty space not unlike space itself.There were star wars that were far, far away, but most noticeably, the majority of them were caught one supernova after the other.Leiu and Sumbus felt immense dread as an overwhelming pressure assaulted them, locking them into that empty space. Leiu tried to use the Darkness to protect himself but, surprisingly, it wouldn’t come out. It seemed unresponsive and ineffective as if something was sealing it away.Sumbus fared even worse as h

“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.

Admittedly, she and Leiu weren’t the best friends, but they did help each other in the ‘past’.“We could’ve killed Him.”
