Hero of Darkness Chapter 718 The Second Client

Chapter 718 The Second Client

Kahn as Legolas sat quietly inside his office while reminiscing the events of the death of the vice president of the 2nd strongest guild of Alfheim.

After learning through their hidden a.s.sa.s.sins of Legion, Ronin reported that both the top 2 main guys of the guild were behind the ploy.

Thus Kahn and the group decided to send a loud and clear message from the very beginning.

It didn't matter if the President tried to throw a tantrum later. As long as one wasn't a 5th stage saint, their crew was capable enough to easily get rid of anyone who came in their way.

As for the death of Ran.o.bes, the old human 3rd stage summoner saint…

The members of the legion acted as a beacon of his location and Kahn traveled using True Dimension to his location.

However, he didn't use Dimensional Cut to kill the saint.

Dimensional Void didn't leave a trace behind because all it did was connect both world of the living and true dimension as a gateway.

However, Dimensional Cut was a condensed attack made out of s.p.a.ce Force. Thus, it left a signature of s.p.a.ce Magic when used.

Kahn didn't want to create a trail that could link it to them so he quietly traveled to Ran.o.bes' bedroom and Omega, as well as Ronin jumped out of his shadow.

Ronin quickly used Phase s.h.i.+ft and Invisibility to disappear and erase his existence.

Kahn activated Dimensional Domain, and Omega activated Gravity Domain, making the 3rd stage incapable of using 75% of his strength.

Kahn's Dimensional Domain was a completely different s.p.a.ce so no one even sensed their saint pressures or auras, leaving no room for alarming anyone.

And when the saint awoke from his sleep, Kahn then used Lucid Reality.

Although it didn't take full effect since it didn't work on targets who were stronger than Kahn, the saint was under an illusion for just 1 second.

In that very second, Ronin appeared behind the saint and using the curved Erebus daggers, he cut off Ran.o.bes' head without a problem.

The trio robbed all the s.p.a.ce rings he had while Ronin stole the soul of the saint using the Soul Collector skill.

When the suns had yet to appear in the sky as the morning came, Kahn and the group hung the head and wrote a message with the saint's blood to declare their clear intentions targeted specifically at the president.

This was a message to the 2nd strongest guild, showing their stance that no one could mess with them just because they were a new force in the business.

And soon, if they willed it… Kahn could reveal it to others through rumors if any other guild tried to make an enemy out of them.

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

While Kahn was lost in thought, a human female feline-kin, the one with ears and tail of a cat while dressing in Misthios guild's uniform walked in.

The female with a slim build was Kahn's official attendant.

"Guild Leader, there's someone here to see you." she spoke in a meek and humble tone.

"Send them in." replied Legolas.

A human n.o.ble in yellow and black outfit similar to Victorian-era clothing walked in through the door and humbly bowed against him.

Legolas Ragnarsson was an Elf even if he was an Iroborn. So it was a precedent for humans to show respect towards the Elves in Zivot Empire.

"It is my honor to meet you, Sir Ragnarsson." said the human with a short mustache.

"And who might you be?"

"I'm but a humble messenger. I brought an invitation sent by my lord." spoke the man and respectfully handed Kahn an invitation envelope.

Legolas then read through the invitation and nodded.

"There's a flying s.h.i.+p waiting for you." said the human.

5 Hours Later.

Legolas and two of his commanders traveled outside Alfheim and reached a city surrounded by a mountainous region and waterfalls.

The flying s.h.i.+p then landed in an open landing zone and the Trio was escorted to meet their soon-to-be client if things went smoothly.

Finally, they reached the main hall of the owner of this region who was an Exalted n.o.ble.

Exalted n.o.bles were just Human n.o.bles who earned a region to rule and manage by the Imperial rule after making great contributions to the empire through military or economical contributions. The one who sent Legolas the invite was one of such people.

A meeting was held in the close circle as 3 individuals from Misthios guild as guests were now facing the opposite side of the host.

Each side having only their main leader sitting on a luxurious chair while the 2 handymen standing behind them.

An elderly n.o.ble with an extremely long gray beard and mustache appeared on the other side.

His wrinkled skin and round golden gla.s.ses gave him an appearance of a well-experienced ruler and a businessman.

"Greetings, Mr. Ragnarsson. This is our father and also Count of this region, Lord Horik." introduced one of the two young men standing behind.

"It is my pleasure to be in your presence, Lord Horik." spoke Legolas and slightly bowed in respect.

The other party was a n.o.ble in the end and had a rich territory from what he had seen while coming here. So being respectful towards such a big potential client was already given.

Soon, an exchange of information started between both groups.

"The job… is hunting a group of Legendary rank monsters that are wreaking havoc in our territory.

Too many commoners and city guards have died or have been injured." spoke the old man.

"How many? And exactly in which sectors?" asked Legolas with a curious gaze.

"4 of them. In all 4 directions." replied the exalted n.o.ble with an exasperated voice.

Soon, they told Legolas about what exactly happened.

These legendary rank monsters were actually high-level dungeon monsters who escaped their dungeons somehow in other territories owned by other n.o.bles.

But instead of dealing with these monsters by themselves… all those lords who ruled those regions redirected their course and led them towards this territory owned by the human n.o.ble.

"This doesn't sound right. It's as if they're targeting your region intentionally." spoke Legolas with a thoughtful expression.

"Ah, you're a smart one. This is indeed the case.

They're from the rival n.o.ble factions. I wouldn't go into details for your own good.

Just know that it is our misfortune to be surrounded by people of the rival faction." revealed the old man.

"This has happened for the 3rd year in a row. The last two years took a toll on our treasury and we lost too many soldiers.

That's why we're hiring outsiders for help this time." iterated the old man.

"So will you accept this commission?" asked the n.o.bleman, his hoa.r.s.e voice resounding in the room.

"Of course. But before that… we need to discuss something very important." responded Legolas.

"What?"

The elf guild leader then revealed a shameless grin and made a demand as this was the best time for haggling.

"The Payment."
