Endless Journey: Infinite Realms

Chapter 64 The Knight is Coming

Divine Knight Sylvester Glaivewood had been through some bad days already, but he was sure that today was one of his worst ones yet.

"Can you say it again? But this time a little more slowly?" The Divine Knight said as he tried to massage his temples. "I want to make sure that what you said was just like what I heard."

"Ok, Sir Glaivewood." The one who was talking to Sylvester was a black-haired woman, who was wearing thin-rimmed eyeglasses that made her look like an extremely efficient person.

And this woman really is efficient, as she is Sylvester's official partner on information gathering and dissemination.

The bespectacled woman let out a light sigh as she slowly said,

"6 Hours ago, some of our mages have detected the sudden appearance of monstrous amounts of concentrated energies in the Ursa Sector. After spending some time to measure the amount of the energies that appeared, our mages have concluded that these energies signify the appearance of 2 new Monsters that has potential to reach General Class."

"Oh f**k me sideways…" Being a Knight, and the Divine Knight to boot, Sylvester knew that it should not be right for him to curse.

But what he just heard warrants him the right to speak foul.

"Are you really sure about this, Mia?" Sylvester asked as he let out a deep breath. "And how come there were 2?"

"We are highly sure about this, Sir Glaivewood." Mia replied stiffly. "According to our Mages, the two types of energies that appeared in the Ursa Sector were Abyss Energy and Dark Energy. And by measuring the amounts of these energies that appeared, they were able to conclude the appearance of these new monsters."

"Not only that, but from the way they appeared, they were not Monsters that came from the Monster Birth Program." Mia said as she closely watched her boss' facial reactions. "These new monsters most likely came from different Planes of Existence. As for why they came here, we do not have any inkling why."

"..." The only thing that Sylvester could do was to close his eyes as he regulated his breath. "The presence of Abyss Energy means that one of them was a Great Elderitch, while the Dark Energy could mean any Monsters with alignment to Dark Magic… Tsk, just when I thought that things can't get worse anymore, something like this suddenly happens!"

"Well, if you want to be relieved, I have something that can reduce your stress." Mia said as she saw her boss starting to get stressed up.

"Fire away, I want to hear something good too."

"Well…" Mia trailed as she started to read the file paper that she held. "Our mages said that the 2 new Monsters that have appeared does not have the strength comparable to General-Class yet. But if they were given time, they will most likely reach General Class."

"That's good news indeed." Sylvester said as his body visibly sagged in relief. "That just means that we can send someone to kill these 2, and our problems will be solved. To make sure that they will be really dead, we should send out a Divine Knight. But who should we send?"

"Um right now, we can only send Divine Knight Barrios." Mia said, with traces of embarrassment present in her voice. "The other Divine Knights are current busy with their own matters, and only Divine Knight Barrios is currently free."

"Really, him only?" Sylvester let out a frustrated sigh as if he shared the same sentiments with Mia. "Sure, Barrios is a powerful Knight, but his sense of responsibilities is a little skewed…"

"Please Sir Glaivewood, I perfectly know how 'carefree' my younger brother is." Mia grimaced as she shook her head in annoyance. "Really, when will he learn to grow up?"

"Well, we just have to trust that your brother will be in his right head for now." Sylvester ruefully said as he and Mia both let out a sigh.

"...….."

"Ok, I will go now to inform my brother about this." Mia said as she started to leave the room.

But before she could do so, she suddenly felt a pair of arms hugging her from behind.

Mia tried to not let out a moan as she felt an extremely masculine body in close contact with her back. The masculine body's musky scent which tickled her nose was enough to make her feel hot and excited.

Mia tried to hide her excitement as she said,

"Sir Glaivewood, I think this is not the right time to…"

"There is no right or wrong time for us, Mia." Sylvester hurriedly said as his face started to turn red. "We have been in this relationship for 3 years already, and both of us have already made love on many special places. Doing it here in my office is no big deal."

"But-" Mia's words were cut off as Sylvester kissed her deeply, with this tongue intertwining with hers.

"Mmnnn…" At that point, Mia's mind went blank as she decided to reciprocate the kiss.

Both of their hands then freely roamed with each other bodies, with Mia squeezing Sylvester's tightly packed muscles and Sylvester copping a feel on Mia's extremely round rear.

They continued kissing for 5 more minutes, and by this point, both of them were already panting.

"Let's do this." Sylvester said as he and Mia started to remove their clothes.

But before they could even start removing their clothes, they suddenly heard a knock on the door, which interrupted them from their hot and steamy exchange.

"What the hell?" Mia felt irritation as she heard the knock, having the same feeling as Sylvester himself. "Who would dare knock at this time?"

"Tsk, I don't know, but if this person interrupted us for just a small reason, then I am not sure on what to feel." Sylvester said as he and Mia fixed their appearances, just to make sure that they did not look like they were exchanging their body heat earlier.

"Come in." Sylvester gruffly said as he removed the lock on his door.

******************

What Sylvester saw when the door opened was a thin, scrawny man.

Judging from the clothes that he wore, the thin man looked like a new addition to the Knight Division.

"So you are a new Knight huh. Must be hard for you." Sylvester said as he did not show disdain on his expression.

He knew that new additions like this thin man were the ones that are usually being pushed around by the older Knights in the Knight Division. This is inevitable as the whole Knight Division is just another place to show off power.

Frankly speaking, Sylvester does not like this kind of attitude, but this kind of behavior in the Knight Division had been somewhat helpful to produce Knights that can fight off against powerful Monsters.

Sylvester can attest to this fact.

"It's hard, but I think I can manage." The thin man said as he gave a confident smile to Sylvester.

"Your attitude is impressive. I like that." Sylvester commented as he saw that the thin man was seemingly unfazed even if he was talking with a Divine Knight.

"I appreciate your praise, Sir Glaivewood." The thin man quickly replied as a pleased expression appeared in his face. Clearly, this man is a fan.

"Well, I think the time for the idle talk must end for now." Sylvester said as his displeasure from being blue-balled started to dissipate.

"Initiate Knight… Lecter." Sylvester said as he looked at the nameplate on the thin man's uniform. "State your intentions."

"Salutations, Divine Knight Glaivewood." The Initiate Knight said as he gave Sylvester a piece of envelope. "The Golden Knight Academy instructed me to pass you this letter."

"…" Sylvester did not say anything as he accepted the envelope, which was covered by a golden glow. He stayed silent for ten seconds before he gave a curt look at the thin man.

"You may leave now, Initiate Knight." Sylvester said as he sat back on his chair.

"Affirmative, Sir Glaivewood." If the Initiate Knight was confused, he did not show it as he hurriedly left the room.

"So, you received another letter from her." Mia commented as she saw Sylvester's nervous look. "Really, even now you are still this nervous?"

"How could I not be? This letter is personally made by my daughter!" Sylvester said as he held the envelope gingerly. "There is no way that I could not be nervous!"

"Sigh, you really are cute when you act like that." Mia said with amusement as she started to heat up a tea kettle nearby. "Hurry up and read it. I also want to hear what Teresa has to say."

"Hmph, I am sure that Teressa will be writing again on about how she wants to be like me." Sylvester snorted as he started to open the envelope.

What came out of the envelope was a piece of paper, with some sentences written in it.

Sylvester frowned when he saw the paper, as if there was something wrong with it.

"Hmm, it seems like my daughter just wrote a very short letter this time." Sylvester noted as he started to read the letter.

His deep voice reverberated across the room as he read the letter with enthusiasm.

[Father, I am too busy on training right now so I cannot write a long letter. What I can only say is that my Kill Mission will start on the day that you receive this letter.]

[Do not worry Father, I will succeed on my Kill Mission here in the Ursa Sector, and I will come back with the head of my Target.]

[That's all that I can say for now, so wish me luck!]

[P.S. Tell Mia that I said hi. Tell her that I also want to get a little brother too.]

"Pfft…" Mia snorted a little as she tried to not laugh. It was quite obvious that the last line in Teresa's letter sounded amusing to her.

"Well, your daughter really has a good sense of humor like you, Sir Glaivewood." Mia said as she wiped the tears that formed in her eyes. "I really want to see her-"

Mia was unable continue talking as she saw the expression on Sylvester's face.

Instead of looking amused, Sylvester looked extremely horrified and angry.

"What's the matter, Sir Glaivewood?" Mia hesitantly asked as she saw the unnatural look on Sylvester's face. Is there something wrong with the letter?"

"Teresa said in this letter that her Kill Mission will be inside the Ursa Sector today." Sylvester slowly said as his face turned more and more pale. "You realize what that means, right?"

"!!!" At that point, Mia realized why Sylvester looked so worried. "In that case…"

"You told me that 2 new powerful Monsters appeared in the Ursa Sector earlier." Sylvester said as he stood up from his chair. "That happened just 6 hours earlier…."

A murderous aura then began to leak out of Sylvester, and even Mia could not help but step back in fear.

"If what my daughter said in this letter was true, then it means that right now, Teresa is inside the Ursa Sector." Sylvester snarled as he took deep breaths to compose himself. "This is not good."

Mia's pale face could only nod numbly as she said,

"Currently, the Ursa Sector houses 2 new Monsters that can possibly kill any Knights that are around 3rd to 5th Class. Teresa only became a 3rd Class Knight recently. That just means that she… will be easily killed in the Ursa Sector by these 2 monsters…"

"F**k!" Sylvester's face showed his anger and even Mia has no trouble understanding his feelings right now.

Mia touched Slyvester's arms in an attempt to placate him as she said, "Sir Glaivewood, I think I need to go to my brother righ-"

"There is no need for you to call your brother anymore." Sylvester interrupted Mia as he headed towards the door.

As he walked, Sylvester's body glowed so bright that Mia was forced to avert her eyes.

A second passed by, and Sylvester's appearance changed.

He was now wearing a golden armor which covered his whole body perfectly.

There was also an extremely large halberd that was sheathed in his back. The size and impressive bulk of the halberd was enough to intimidate Mia, who had already seen this halberd for many times.

"I do not want to leave my daughter's life in the hands of your brother." Sylvester said as he opened the door. "I shall be the one to rescue her, and nobody, not even the King can stop me from doing so."

"… In that case, I wish you luck, Sylvester." Mia whispered as she gave him an encouraging smile. "You might need it."

"You know that I am a Divine Knight." Sylvester said as he closed the door behind him. "People like us are hard to kill."

"… Just come back with Teresa, ok?"

"That is what I plan to do."
