2020-08-21 11:37:49It's been 30 minutes already, Leiu became annoyed rather than confused, it's like a prank more than a trial, he began regretting choosing this class, first, he thought that this may be a bug, but there's no way there is a bug when it's just launched, right? After all, there was a beta test a few months ago, a game like this should have been tested by the developers countless time to find any bugs.
That assumption was quickly deleted from his mind, but if it's not a bug, then what the bloody hell is happening.
As he was cursing in his mind, something finally happened, he was feeling delighted yet angry at the same time, what happened was not a message popping up, nor a sound ranging out or a light appearing far away, it was a freaking attack from something.
Leiu didn't know what exactly attacked him, but he was certain it was a beast, fortunately, he managed to react in time, not to dodge of course, but to unsheath his Steel Sword and block the incoming attack.
Long sharp claws, they were sharper than the dark wolf, and even longer. Leiu barely managed to resist it, he backed away a few steps as the force of the attack overwhelmed him.
The 'thing' that attacked him then backed away and blended with the darkness yet again, it was really annoying, even with his eyes which were now used to the darkness, he couldn't exactly pinpoint the location of the beast, what was fortunate was that he could at least hear the footsteps of the enemy.
But cold sweat and chills ran down his spines when he heard numerous footsteps, not of two or three beasts, there must be at least a dozen or so, he barely managed to resist one, how could he resist all of them?
'Yup! I'm definitely going to fail this...'
Leiu knew, more than anyone, exactly how strong he is and was fully aware of his weaknesses, judging by the precious exchange, he was confident that he was unable to defeat these unseen beasts were they to attack at the same time. Even if they were wolves, it would be hard but not impossible as his stats increased considerably.
If those enemies were wolves, finishing them can be possible, but Leiu's luck was bad... bad enough for him to encounter such enemies, totally blending with the darkness, what was worse is that there was a bunch of them, making him feel desperate.
But feeling desperate is not the same as giving up, he would fight until he's dead, if fate decided that his class shall be swordsman then so be it, at least when he thinks back about the trials, he would not feel ashamed as he would have tried his best to pass those 'trials'.
While tightly holding his Steel Sword, Leiu who never liked talking, much less yelling out loud, shouted with all the strength he got
"Motherfuckers! Come at me, we'll see who will perish first!"
......
"Ah ah"
Leiu gasped for breath, it's been more than half an hour since the beasts showed up, what seemed impossible for him earlier, became possible, somehow, someway. He, too, couldn't believe he survived, the beasts that attacked him had huge frames, which worked to his advantage, they couldn't attack him from all directions. At most, 3 would attack him at the same time, of course, he can't dodge all, which is why he used 8 of his 10 Health Potions.
Messages popped up countless times, he ignored them, but he knew that he leveled up a few times, and that's because, each time someone levels up, some of their health, mana and stamina recovers, not all of it, but a portion, which is precisely why his stamina has not run out yet.
But he won't be able to sustain much longer than 10 minutes, it seemed there was no end to those beasts, although only 2 hits were enough to kill them, sometimes 3 hits, they had strong strength and were quite agile, they only used their sharp and long claws, but he was hit a dozen times by the claws and one hit would reduce his health by at least 6 or 7 points.
His leather armor, which is trash from the very beginning, was bloody and already destroyed, the bonus stats of it was gone and it was mere decoration right now, it was hit too many times to be able to survive.
Even his Steel Sword was almost destroyed, it had only 5 durabilities left, albeit not giving up, Leiu knew that he won't hold on much, this was just too hard, and here he thought class quests were very easy, even in other games, they were easy, so why is this one hard?
As he was heavily breathing, Leiu thrust his sword at the incoming beast, totally one-shotting him, the attack was extremely accurate, after spending a long time fighting, he was totally used to the darkness, he could see the shape of the beast.
They were a bit similar to tigers, a bit bigger and had black fur, countless small but terrifying teeth, and long claws in all of their limbs, they attacked him relentlessly, they seemed to see him as an enemy not as food as if he invaded their territory.
Fortunately, they weren't creatures like wolves, who were clever enough to team up to defeat an enemy, each attacked when it felt there was an opportunity, this alone provided a huge advantage to Leiu, although it was not a huge one, it allowed him to survive until now.
If they attacked him from all sides and teamed up even for a bit, they could have killed him from the very beginning, but they were not clever or intelligent at all, they only relied on beastly instincts.
..
As Leiu killed that beast, he didn't stop, he marvelously leaped back, avoiding a dangerous claw from a beast in his right, then he slashed his sword at that beast, it looked like one slash, but it was two consecutive slashes, they were fast and dealt enough damage to kill the beast.
It was really a good thing they died fast, very fast, Leiu didn't know if it's his attacks that are very powerful to kill fast or that the beast are very weak in defense, but he didn't pay it any heed right now, he kept attacking and slaughtering, hoping for it to end.

Chapter 558 The Hell Gate
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
Dark Knight: Cursed To Wander Alone
“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

Chapter 554 Patro The Penguin Host
“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.”
