Chapter 23

Following Charlotte to where Amitiel was, the two of them returned to Amitiel’s quarters.

At the door, Charlotte spoke.

“Amitiel is waiting inside Father.”(Charlotte)

“Are you not coming inside?”(Renya)

“I have something to take care of at the moment. It may take some time so I’ll have to return Little White.”(Charlotte)

Petting her head, Little White flew from Charlotte’s shoulder to Renya’s. After Charlotte left, Renya opened the door to Amitiel’s quarters.

Inside, Amitiel sat near the hexagonal table from before. He appeared to be talking with a someone through a magic tool.

“It’s done? Good, report the results to me later, I have urgent matters to attend.”(Amitiel)

Putting down the stone in his hands, he stood up and turned towards us. His face revealed a calm devilish smile as he came forward and bowed.

“Lord Renya, you’re done forging the armor I presume?”(Amitiel)

Making his way towards one of the chairs, Renya answered as he sat down om a laid back manner.

“Yeah, I left the enchantments to Borri, it shouldn’t take that long for him to finish.”(Renya)

Sitting down at the opposite side, Amitiel said.

“As expected of you. Now then, my men have reported that they’ve begun setting up the defenses. But from their observations, those defenses of theirs will not last long. They will, at most, delay their deaths by three minutes.”(Amitiel)

“*Sigh* And you reckon we do something about it?”(Renya)

“No, even if we did, it’ll all be for naught since you’ll be the one fighting the demon army. What I need you to do M’lord is to make a brief appearance-”(Amitiel)

“And tell them about the rest of the forces to further their feeling of helplessness? I doubt that, their morale is quite high at the moment thanks to Darell.”(Renya)

“Oh I doubt that’ll last long. Keep in mind that Darell is already quite old. Those old bones of his won’t be as strong as his prime, at most, he’ll be able to ‘barely’ defeat a monster in the late 70s.”(Amitiel)

“Then their strongest war potential is actually Talia?”(Renya)

“Yes, that envoy of the [Cynnabel Empire]. Already considered as a young powerhouse at a 103 years old. She’s considered to be one of the most beautiful women in the empire, and is the younger sister of the current Empress. Also, did I mention that she is chaste and single? I must say, you have good taste in women M’lord.”(Amitiel)

“…”(Renya)

Being too speechless to retort, Amitiel continued.

“Having her as your first lover isn’t so bad. Her level is at the late 80s and is quite the prodigy when it comes to elemental magic, in this world’s standards that is. Her personality is quite good, as far as observations go, she is a generous and selfless woman. You should just pursue her M’lord, I’ve heard that her suitors are quite plenty but I doubt they’ll be able to top you.”(Amitiel)

If not for the fact that Renya has a firm composure, he would’ve been as red as a ripe apple long ago. But still, being single for all his life, his face had a hint of redness as he coughed to stop Amitiel’s supposed ‘nonsense’.

“*Cough* Back on topic Amitiel.”(Renya)

“Right, what I need you to do is to give them more information about the demon army and don’t mention anything about the transcended demon. Telling them about the High demons is fine. Head towards the alleyway from before, my men have secured the area making it safe.”(Amitiel)

“Got it, I’ll be on my way then.”(Renya)

“Please return afterwards, we still have a few more things to talk about. ”(Amitiel)

Standing up, his body became covered with a faint white light as his previous attire switched into his hunter’s. Activating his [Limiter], he glanced at Little White who was at his shoulder. Renya checked her condition before he pulled out a [Teleport] Scroll.

Not long after, Renya and Little White became covered in a bright white glow as the two of them vanished from the room, leaving Amitiel behind.

“*Sigh* Now that that’s settled.”(Amitiel)

Grabbing the magic tool from before Amitiel said.

“I believe it’s time to move onto the other continents.”(Amitiel)

Back in [Ostwald City], the figure of Renya along with Little white who was perched on his shoulder can be seen. The two of them made their way towards the western entrance.

As they did, they’ve noticed the figure of Talia and Darell who were near the gate. Talia appeared to be the first to notice him. Walking closer Talia was the first to speak

“Where have you been?”(Talia)

“Me? Nothing much really, I only took care of a few things.”(Renya)

Giving him a suspicious look, she continued

“Is that so?”(Talia)

“*Ahem* Mister Renya.”(Darell)

Speaking in an unsurprised tone, Renya replied.

“Darell, so you were ‘that’ Darell.”(Renya)

“Yes, I’m sorry I haven’t introduced myself properly at that time.”(Darell)

“It’s fine. Anyways, what are you guys doing here? I expected you to be organizing some documents somewhere.”(Renya)

“Well, I was, but I have already finished. Then what about you Mister Darell?”(Talia)

“Me? I was giving some advice to a few of the [Rank: A] hunters that have joined the mission. Even If I’m already retired as hunter, my ties with the [Hunter’s Guild] still run deep. Consider it my considerations for my juniors.”(Darell)

“So you’re already retired? It’s no wonder why you’re working at that store.”(Renya)

“Yes, It’s the best I can do for them. That’s also one of the reason why I’ve made such a big deal out of that one incident.”(Darell)

“I see. Then what rank did you reach?”(Renya)

“At my prime. I was able to reach the rank of [SSS]. But now? I’m barely even considered a [Rank: SS]. Why don’t we continue this conversation in somewhere more private?”(Darell)

“We should, what about you?”(Talia)

“I don’t mind.”(Renya)

Following him inside a nearby tent, Renya then explained the current situation, and how their chances of winning was low. Revealing the fact that there were 10 or more Necrotic War Beasts as well as the existence of a high demon. Talia and Darell’s reactions weren’t all that pleasant.

Saying that he’ll do something about it, the two’s reaction didn’t change as he made his way outside the tent. Using a [Teleport] scroll, he managed to leave without anyone noticing.

Returning to [Titan City], he appeared back in his throne room. Seeing that no one was around, he went straight towards the [Inner Crafting Station] in search for Borri.

Entering the [Inner Crafting Station], what entered his sight was not an empty area, but an area that was bustling with activity. At the center stood Borri and in front of him was the set of armor they’ve worked on.

The armor now gave out a noticeable cyan glow emanating from within the gaps of the armor. Not only that, but its surface was highly reflective that one could’ve easily mistaken it to be made of mirrors.

Noticing Renya’s presence. Borri came forward and greeted him.

“Lord Renya! The set has been enchanted and is ready for use. By all means, please do try it on!”(Borri)

“Alright then, Little White.”(Renya)

Signaling Little White, she flew from his shoulder, landing on a nearby lamppost. Seeing her do so, Renya dismounted the set of armor from the mannequin with the help of a few others.

Storing all of the pieces in his [Inventory]. Not long after, his hunter’s attire became replaced by the armor.

Although the armor felt a bit big to Renya, that soon changed as the armor started adjusting itself to better fit Renya. Not only that, but his vision wasn’t obscured in any way, despite the fact that his whole face is covered with a visor without any holes. Feeling the armor’s adjusted, he began making quick movements to test it.

“How does it feel?”(Borri)

“Comfortable enough. Doesn’t hinder much of my movements, it’s pretty light too.”(Renya)

“Great! Now what should we name it?”(Borri)

“[Gleam of Moonlight]? I reckon this armor could easily reflect the moonlight, so why not name it so?”(Renya)

“[Gleam of Moonlight]…… I like it! Hohohohohoho!”(Borri)

Hearing his approval, he stated to un equip the armor when a black fog that had a violet glow appeared nearby. Walking out from the fog was Amitiel.

“Lord Renya, it appears that you’re done with your task, not only that but you and Borri have finished building the armor.”(Amitiel)

“Any more tasks for me?”(Renya)

“No, no no! I wouldn’t dare give you another task. All you need to do now is to wait until the time we receive news of the attack. Until then you are free to do as you please. Unless you don’t really care for the people in [Ostwald City], which is fine as well.”(Amitiel)

With a slight disdain, Renya clicked his tongue as he said.

“*Che* Call me when you do receive news.”(Renya)

To which Amitiel smiles towards and says.

“With pleasure.”(Amitiel)

With that, he vanished into the black fog.

“Don’t feel to upset over Amitiel M’lord, you’ve dealt with this attitude of his for centuries. I doubt that this much will be enough to incur your wrath, Hohohohohoho!”(Borri)

He said in a joking manner, which triggered a few questions in Renya. Switching out the armor for his casual clothing, he asked Borri a few questions.

“Borri, for how many years have you worked for me?”(Renya)

“Lord Renya, I wouldn’t say that I’ve worked for you, rather I have been serving you for over four millenniums. But might I ask you, why ask now?”(Borri)

“N-no, it’s nothing. (How old am I?!)”(Renya)

Feeling cold sweat gather in his back, he decided not to ask any further, making Borri slightly confused.

“Is that so?”(Borri)

“Anyways, since I have free time, why don’t we have a good drink? I haven’t been able to have a drink of good alcohol ever since I’ve started travelling.”(Renya)

“Hohohohoho! Of course! I have a few bottles of fine wine at hand, let’s have drink to celebrate the creation of a successful piece!”(Borri)

With that, the two of them drank a few cups of wine together with a few other dwarves and at times, humans and elves. Sometime in the middle of the drinking. Little White attempted to try the wine hat everyone’s been drinking, only to get intoxicated immediately after a few sips. Getting sober, she didn’t attempt to drink more as she went up on a nearby lamppost to take a nap.

After a few hours passed, the sun has already set as the full moon hung over the sky.

Amongst all the drinking, Renya and Borri still appeared to be sober. Feeling his alcohol tolerance increase to a terrifying level, he felt satisfied at the same baffled at the change.

“Lord Renya, I'd hate to ruin your fun, but the demons are starting to make their move.”(Amitiel)

Out of nowhere, Amitiel appeared.

“Right, I’ll take my leave now Borri.”(Renya)

Raising a cup filled with wine, Borri replied.

“Fortunes of war be with you!”(Borri)

Nodding towards his words, Renya prepared to leave after wearing his hunter’s attire.

All of a sudden, Little White flew into his shoulder, surprising Renya a bit.

"Little White, be a good girl and stay here, I'll pick you up later so don't worry."(Renya)

Nodding towards his words, Little White flew back onto a nearby lamppost and began to sleep.

Smiling a bit after seeing this, he left the area. Using another [Teleport] scroll, he returned to the same alleyway.

This time however, another person appeared to be waiting for him.

“Lilith?”(Renya)

“Lord Renya.”(Lilith)

Making a firm salute by putting her right hand over he left chest, she said. Looking at his surroundings, there appear to be a large number of shadows in the area, with all of them kneeling down on one knee.

“Why are you here?”(Renya)

“I have finished my recent task and I wanted to assist M’lord.”(Lilith)

Speaking in a flat but resolute voice she said.

“I see, then I suppose you’re here to help me eliminate the demons?”(Renya)

“Yes and no M’lord. I’ve come to assist you, but Amitiel’s asked me to capture them, not eliminate. They might contain valuable information. Also M’lord, Amitiel said that it was alright to kill the transcended demon to instill 'fear' into the spectators minds.”(Lilith)

“Is that so?”(Renya)

“Yes, M’lord, the attack is starting. You should equip the armor.”(Lilith)

“Ah, thanks.”(Renya)

With his [Limiter] off, he wore the [Gleam of Moonlight].

Using a skill called [Fly], a skill that players unlock upon reaching level 200. His body shot upward at unbelievable speeds.

“(Just like back in the forge…)”(Renya)

Quickly grasping the method on how to fly, he felt no forms of discomfort when flying.

Looking off into the distance, he noticed a large gathering of demons, as well as the transcended demon Amitiel talked about.

He then grabbed [Silver Fang], a two meter long [Ancient Grade] weapon made from Crystal Sylver, before applying a skill onto it.

“[Divine Cleansing Flames]”(Renya)

[Divine Cleansing Flame], a [God Grade lvl 17] skill, is a direct upgrade from the skill [Cleansing Flame] which is a [High Grade lvl 13] skill that came from the [Flame Sword God] class. The skill, as the name implies, is a skill that is similar to [Purify]. But instead of applying it to a target, it is applied to the weapon, giving it a purifying skill.

After applying the skill to [Silver Fang], the blades’ edges gained a blue flame that danced in place. Confirming that the skill has been successfully applied, he proceeded to fly forward to get a better grasp on the current situation.

“Do you really think that lowly of me?”(Michael)

Hearing a loud voice, he stopped flying as he began to listen. looking down, he discovered Michael who appeared to be standing on top of the barricade.

“As pleasing as the offer sounds, I refuse. I don’t plan on sacrificing an large amounts of lives for my pitiful one.”(Michael)

Opposite to Michael stood the transcended demon.

“Is that so?”(Serrié)

He said as he gave out a small laugh that echoed throughout the area.

“Then you shall die along with everyone else here. Begin the assault.”(Serrié)

“Shit. Prepare for the attack!”(Michael)

Seeing the charge of the of the Necrotic War Beasts and demons. Renya activated another skill to eliminate the incoming wave.

“[Sword Wave]”(Renya)

Using [Sword Wave] a [Medium Grade level 7] skill, he waved his sword across, causing an enormous crescent made of blue flames to appear.

In a fraction of a second, the crescent swept across the field. Leaving an enormous crevice behind, completely obliterating all of the demons that were in the charge.

“(Did the skill get stronger?! The skill would’ve at most killed them with the flames, not leave a ridiculous crevice like this!)”(Renya)

Feeling the sudden change of power of the skill, Renya became baffled.

Author Note: So as promised here's another chapter, but it doesn't end there! Expect another chapter after this to end Renya's POV during chapter 21! You might find these chapters to be boring af but they are much needed for the exposition! Anyways, if you are to google what Nidhogg is and remember what [Dragon Catulus] is, you'd get an idea as to what the armor [Nidhogg] looks like! Horaay for Norse mythology. Also, I wanted to reveal a bit more about Renya with this chapter, and raise some flags. Alright, as always, expect another chapter tomorrow so no worries~!

Le Daily Casul is Back!
