I Am Legend

Once they have arrived in front of the house, Ryth nodded his thanks to the guard as he slightly bowed his head.

"No problem sir," the guard said hurriedly.

Ryth knocked on the door. And when there was a voice saying to come in, he opened the door, walking inside with Llyod and Hill behind him.

As he entered, he found Fenar sitting on his mat, with a woman beside him. She was wearing a silver robe with a witch hat and a staff on her lap. She looked like she is in her mid thirties, with long silver hair, big blue eyes and red thin lips.

Wood gard and Tregnar were there too, standing behind Fenar, together with another 2 guards beside them.

"Mr. Myrad, Mr. Llyod and Mr. Hill, good morning," Fenar greeted them, inviting them to sit on the mat. He gave an apologetic smile and said, "I"m very sorry to call you this early in the morning. Come, have a seat please."

Woodgard and Tregnar were there too, with 2 guards behind Fenar.

Ryth and the other two greeted back and sat down on the mats.

Ryth waved Fenar"s apology away and said, "it is alright. So, why did you ask us to come? The guard said that you have something for me?"

Fenar nodded. "Yes, it is something that we, the Dark Elf Tribe, would like to give you for everything you have done for us. And also for the tremendous help that you have given us these past few days."

Ryth seemed surprised at this. "Oh, but we do not mind at all."

Fenar shook his head and continued, "That won"t do. We still would like to give you our gift."

Looking at his determination and stubborn look, Ryth could only sighed. "Alright then…"

Fenar nodded and then he introduce the woman beside him. "Ahh… Before that, I would like to introduce you to Madam Elsa. She is a witch from our village."

The woman stood up and bowed her head. "Greetings. I am Madam Elsa. It is a pleasure to meet the saviors of our village."

Ryth returned back the gesture as he stood up and bowed his head. "It"s a pleasure to meet you too, Madam Elsa. My name is Ryth Myrad. And the two men beside me are Llyod and Hill," gesturing to the two men who also stood up and bowed.

The four of them then sat back down again.

Madam Elsa opened her hand and a small chest appeared, floating in mid-air. "On behalf of our village, I would like to gift you with this. This is one of our tribe"s greatest skills," she explained." Coincidentally, it is of swordman skill cla.s.s."

She then waved the chest away softly.

The small chest floated mid-air until it reached in front of Ryth.

Ryth carefully took the small chest with his two hands.

He nodded his thank you at both Fenar and Madam Elsa. "Thank you, Chief Fenar and Madam Elsa."

"h.e.l.lo, nice to meet you too." Ryth nodded his head.

Fenar laughed heartily, rubbing his chin with his hand. "I suspected that this skill might be very useful for you. Woodgard and the other elves have told me stories of how you have battled in the dungeon. It amazed me," he said.

"Not only are you a capable person but I also believed that you have a good heart," Fenar continued. "This skill will be better off with you."

Ryth laughed awkwardly. "You are exaggerating, Chief Fenar. I"m just a normal man."

Fenar continued to laugh. "I like your att.i.tude there, young Master Myrad. Despite being a n.o.ble, you are very humble. You don"t treat us differently, even if we are not human beings like you."

He then put on a serious expression on his face. "Hence, why I agree to let Tregnar and Wood gard helped you in your journey."

He turned to Tregnar and Hill. "Isn"t that right? You two better give your best to help Young Master Myrad," he said sternly.

Tregnar and Woodgard stood up straight and said loudly in unison, "Yes, Chief!"

"Thank you. This means so much to me, " Ryth said humbly, as he slightly bowed his head to them.

"No problem. I also want to inform that maybe you can start the journey in two days time," Fenar advised.

"Really?"

"Yes, we will be done, strengthening our defense by then."

"Okay, Chief Fenar."

--------------------

After a couple of hours, they were done with the meeting so Ryth and the other two went back to the a.s.signed house.

He walked to his room, sat on his bed and took out the small chest from his inventory.

"I wonder what kind of skill is inside this chest, ku ku ku!"

"Well, lets see, shall we?"

Ryth opened the small chest, and took out the scroll inside. He rolled it open.

-------------------

"Wow! A berserk skill! Now I have two of it! With {Beyond The Boundary} and {Unleashed} I can increase my status real high!" exclaimed Ryth in happiness as he jumped up from the bed and pumped his fist to the air.

"Ku ku ku! What a skill! This must be one of the high tier skills the dark elf has!"

"We really need to kick my stepbrother"s b.u.t.t real hard so I can be the city lord again and fulfill my promise to the dark elves." Ryth said with a determined glint in his eyes.

"Ku ku ku! Okay then, lets level up more since we have two days. Better use this time to learn as much exp as possible."

"Yeah, you are right. We will go outside of the forest, to hunt stronger monsters."

"Oh? Any place in mind?"

"Sort-of… Since I am now level 36 now, its probably be okay to go to that place, " Ryth mused.

"Okay, then. Let us prepare our items."

Ryth took out all of his weapons. He placed the lightning katana on his left side of waist, while {Vengeance} and the ebony sword on his right side of waist.

"Okay, lets go."

He went out of the room and saw Llyod and Hill talking amongst themselves. He approached them and told them to prepare.

Llyod and Hill looked puzzled at this sudden plan. Although, they wanted to know where they are heading to, they then realized that they can easily asked Ryth about it as they travel. Hence, they only asked him how long will the journey take.

Ryth had answered, "Probably a day or two."

After they have done preparing their items, they immediately went to the Chief"s House to inform Fenar of their plan.

They went straight out of the dark elf village and began to walk to the west, heading towards the hunting place

Pointing at a certain area in the map, Hill asked Ryth again to be sure, "So, will we be heading to this place, my lord."

Ryth looked over and nodded. "Yeah, that should be the place we are heading to now."

Llyod blinked his eyes in surprise. "Lake of Fu? But wasn"t there a rumour before? About a sea serpent there?"

Ryth nodded, feeling confident. "Yeah, there is and we will be hunting it," with a smirk on his face.

The sea serpent was just level 40 in "The Throne", and it was a water type monster. With [Ryuujin"s Will] element, lightning. The damage of it will be pushed higher and its paralyze effect will be effective.

Just like when they were fighting the trolls back then. The Trolls took higher damage from fire since it was weak against fire.

They walked for an hour as they were walking towards the designated area. Since they are still inside the Tango Forest, they also took the chance to kill the monsters inside to gain more experiences.

By noon, they could already see the road ahead, they finally out of the forest.

There was no other people that could be seen around them.

Just when Ryth was going to came out from the forest, he saw a carriage that seems to be heavily guarded. It was about to pa.s.s them and before it did, the three of them immediately hide behind the big trees.

Ryth, Llyod and Hill wore a surprised look on their faces after they saw a familiar necklaces around the guards" necks.

"Thats the Fang Bandits that had attacked us!" Ryth, Llyod and Hill turned their heads towards each other in silence.

There was about 25 people that were fully armored.

"You all know them?" asked Daedalus to the three of them.

"We do," Ryth said grimly, a frown on his face." These were the same b.a.s.t.a.r.ds who had attacked us before. My stepbrother paid their boss to get rid of me."

"Eh? Why are they here? Although looks like there are rarely people who pa.s.s this place, the chances of them meeting other people is still less."

"Maybe they will attack every people they encountered. Looks like that carriage is for slaves. They kidnapped people to be sold and now, they are heading to a black market or slave trader."

Ryth looked at the carriage. He saw a girl with short hair, with her mouth being covered with cloth and eyes big, filled with fear and anger.

Sensing someone was watching her, she turned to look at the area Ryth and the other two were hiding. She tried to scream for help and purposely made a fuss at the back of the carriage.

"Mffh!" She struggled to broke free from the chains that bind her arms behind her back and the cloth that covered her mouth.

"Stop it! d.a.m.n elf!"

"Just accept your fate already! No matter how much you struggled, no one will help you! Hahaha!"

The guards were shouting and mocking the girl as they laughed.

"What should we do, my lord?" Llyod asked.

"Of course, it"s obvious, right?" the bandage on his left eye gushed a red light, he grab the ebony sword, before putting it on his mouth, "We will help the elf to get rid of her kidnappers."
