One Trillion of Gold!

Meanwhile, in front of the vault that Alex was looking for, there was Baron Bayconn, together with a weird breed of a dragon and a piggy bank. Both of them were covering their ears and sitting in a corner.

Soldier: AHHHHHHHH!!

*Stab!*

Baron Bayconn: Oh no, he's here!!

Piggy Drake: Oink!

He was only admiring his precious piles of gold, when he suddenly received a report from a guard that Alex escaped from his prison and was heading towards the vault. Obviously Baron Bayconn couldn't just let this go, and guarded the vault together with his pet, Piggy Drake, but…

Alex: PIGGY PIGGY!! I'M COMING FOR YOU AND I WILL BLOW DOWN YOUR VAULT!!

Baron Bayconn: OINK!!!

Then both him and the weird breed heard footsteps getting closer and closer, before they stopped in front of the only wooden door protecting him.

*CRASH!!*

A Overfiend Blade of Nulgath destroyed the door and flew straight at the Piggy Drake, bisecting it in two. The ground was covered with gold coins and cash.

Baron Bayconn gazed at his dead pet before looking back at Alex with a terrified gaze, he started to cry and said.

Baron Bayconn: Please… I will pay that Unlife Insurance… Take it. Take what you need and leave me alone… Uuuuuu… Oink…

The Overfiend Blade of Nulgath flew back and Alex stepped inside the room with a smile on his face.

Alex: See? It wasn't that hard, you just needed to say yes.

Then Alex took the Unlife Insurance from Baron Bayconn and smashed open the vault with the floating blade, before entering inside the vault.

Alex: Alright, a trillion was it…?

As much as he wanted to take everything, this was the Royal Treasury, it would be bad to steal from King Alteon… But he won't mind if he takes a million, right?

After collecting the necessary gold, he flew away from the castle of Swordhaven and headed back to Shadowfall.

[1 week later]

Gravelyn: You've actually collected the policy? I'd heard getting money out of that Tax Collector is like getting bacon from a pig!

Alex: Well… I couldn't say a better comparison for the situation…

Gravelyn: Well? How much was it for?! Give me that paper! 

Alex did as she said and then looked at her face, waiting for her expression of surprise when she will read the Unlife Insurance Bond.

Gravelyn: ...One Tril- *Cough* ONE TRILLION GOLD?! I'll be able to repair Shadowfall and hire all the mercenaries in the land! No one will be more powerful than me! NO ONE!

Alex: Yeah… Sure…

Gravelyn: Sir Alexander, thank you for your help. I need no further assistance here… But Drakath is wreaking havoc across Lore. King Alteon needs your help, and in the interest of the alliance… I have to send you back there.

Alex: ...Is there any method I could get fast there? I'm tired to pass weeks just to go to the other side of the continent!

Gravelyn: I heard that the Loremasters possess a special map that will take you anywhere you point to, you could buy or steal one…

Alex froze on his spot, and took out a book.

Alex: ...You mean this?

Gravelyn: So you already had one? Then why you asked me such a stupid question?

Alex: ...I will destroy Battleon before Drakath does it…

He almost ripped in two the magical book from anger, he took deep breaths and opened the book, at the page where the map of Oaklore Forest was. Then he touched the place where Swordhaven was, and vanished in a flash of light.

The next moment, he reappeared in the courtyard of the castle, with a grumble, he placed the Loremaster's Book in his inventory and entered in the castle.

Soon, he reached the Throne room, and kneeled down in front of the King.

Alex: I did as you requested, I aided Gravelyn with her problems.

Alteon: Great… Now We hope that you could also help We in some matters regarding Chaos. Also, We recently heard that you entered in the crypt and knocked down some Chaos-infected knights, We thank you for your actions, now our best healers are working on finding a cure for the Chaos infection.

Hopefully one day we will be able to rescue these Knights from Chaos. The more information we can discover about how Chaos is infecting the countryside, the better prepared we will be in our coming battles. 

We have received word that the wolves are ranging closer to town than ever before, and they are acting strangely. There are also reports of a bear coming down from the hills, that hasn't happened in all Our years.

Please go to the woods and return with samples so that we may study the progression of the Chaos infection. You can ask some of our beastmasters for some cages.

Alex: Yes, I will do so.

Then Alex slightly bowed again and left from the room, EXP, here I come!

[1 day later]

Since he didn't really have an idea about where is the forest the King was talking about, he got there on his feet, asking around about strange sightseeings. And then he reached the place, which was a road that entered inside a forest, where not even light was able to enter in…

It was a creepy place… But Alex took a deep breath and held Nightmare on his hands, ready to unleash any binding skill.

While he walked inside the forest, he heard some howls, meaning that the wolves were approaching him.

He turned around to look better for any animal, and just in time, he saw a wolf with 2 pair of purple eyes and spikes everywhere, with some parts of his body covered in a purple substance.

The chaorrupted wolf was rushing at him, but Alex just extended one arm and used a skill of his.

Alex: [Soul Bind].

Chains appeared from nowhere and coiled around the wolf, stopping his abnormally fast rush and slamming him in the ground.

Alex: Alright, here is the first one… So, more 5 plus the bear…

He brought only 7 cages, so he didn't have much space for more wolves. He put the chaorrupted wolf in a cage and left him outside the forest.

And then something from the depths of his memory emerged… The Chaos Slayer class. It was probably the most ironic class of the entire game.

In the game it was the best class to get, because it was strong, it could heal really much, and it was also easy to get, one should have the rank 10 in Chaos Reputation, which was also easy to farm.

But there's a problem… What are the REAL requisites to get the class here? And a single answer came in his mind.

Join Drakath.

Alex laughed at the thought, probably Drakath won't even look at him, he isn't the Hero, he isn't "That". So why should Drakath even look at him as a threat? Maybe if he get strong enough, he could be a threat for him.

Anyway, he didn't want the Chaos Slayer class now, he would stay with Dage, and try to get Legion Revenant, which was literally the Undead Legion's equivalent of Void Highlord, but more on the support side than solo boss side. Even if that was only in the game...

Now, even though there are few capable of smash the Overfiend Blade of Nulgath to pieces, Drakath is one of them, since Binky could also do it.

But for the Legion Revenant class, even though he will start as a weak person, it has the potential to surpass the power of the Void Highlord, because unlike the latter, whose strength depends on the swords used, the Legion Revenant's strength depends on the user.

Well, let's stop with these thoughts and start the hunt...
