The Ruined Death Knight

Sounds of wind being cut could be heard through the church.

Underground in the church was a knight wearing dark gray plate armor that looked much heavier than knights would usually wear.

It wasn't that the armor wasn´t heavy enough, the knight carried a shield to his left hand while a longsword to his right.

Even with those conditions, the man's steps h crushed all bubbles in his path while he moved so fast with these feet that looked somewhat unnaturally since this movement didn´t move an inch once he moves.

With such speed, he still managed to swing this longsword to cleanly cut the stone walls in front of him.

Only thing was, that he was no man.

But one of the Immortal Undead.

Sheathing the long blade back and the shield vanishing out of pure air, he turned his head and glanced at the wall solemnly.

Though some would question if he just received an enlistment through long hours of training or if just the guy liked to stare at the walls.

The undead instead stared at something that couldn´t be seen just by the naked eye alone.

"Two minutes is my limit, huh?" Danzel said as he observed the mana through his body fade away, leaving only a hot feeling thoughts these bones.

"I should wrap it from here, since the new day came I might as well visit Jayckop. If everything goes well I might have some time to buy some of the needed items." Danzel made his way towards the stairs after he saw the time on the [Sun Timer].

Before leaving the basement level, he equipped another sword slightly shorter than Veren to his waist.

Moving towards the door that he blocked with a wall of stone, he straight up punched the wall which showed cracks before collapsing.

After pushing the collapsed stones outside, he chanted another [Stone Wall], fully blocking the entry of the church once again.

Shaking his head, he made his way towards the center of the city.

"Using such spell indoors is not suitable. I will need a door before the spell destroys the frame of the door."

Though the skills evolving, the wall has been easier to be cast and the toughness of the wall itself improved to whole another level.

Although he did cut such a wall in half, that was only because in the basement he intentionally made the walls much thinner to serve as target practice.

The main problem that he found on his spell was that it would tear down the floor at the same time, which was fine since he was underground.

But if he were to use it directly above the basement level, the worse thing that could happen would be collapsing the whole hall of the church.

It wasn´t that he wasn´t confident of surviving the fall, but destroying the home that he didn´t even have for a day would suck.

The reason why he carried two swords instead of one was simple because Veren had runes while the other blade that he got the day before had not.

Danzel couldn't imagine the trouble that it would have come if he let one of those idiots of yesterday escape.

Forget about the charges of committing murder, once people knew about him being a runesmith he would be forced to leave like how he did on Berum.

That made it harder for him to put up his plan on selling runed items in action.

Which wasn't much in the first place.

After thinking about it, he quickly realized that he needed the help of someone, if not multiple people.

He and Gerak were naive back then. 

Although the idea of some unknown master to be providing them runed items for sell that went by his hand first and then Gerak's for delivery wasn't half bad.

The biggest mistake that they made was showing them who was the person closest to the source of the runed items.

It was a miracle that the army didn´t break through his house to investigate without him even knowing.

The main point is that sooner or later they would have found out.

That's why this time, he wanted to make things right.

Fortunately for him, one of the uncommon runes that he bought yesterday would help him with this plan if only a little bit.

Arriving in front of the [Nercana Land Management] building, Danzel dismissed all other thoughts aside and started to look at the priorities.

"First of all, I need a door..."

Going inside the building, he caught the eye of a giant man sleeping in a seat that was unfit for his size.

"Zzzghhh"

"..."

Seeing that scene, Danzel was unsure how to proceed.

`Isn´t it already morning? How can his guy still sleeping?´ Danzel cursed secretly.

The fact that this guy also had this uniform on meant that he would have woken up, put this uniform on and then come here to sleep again.

Walking silently to the table with the help of [Silent Steps], he slapped the table with his hand.

*Baahm.

"Wha- That´s my booz- Oh..." Jeyckoped who was still half asleep stopped his frailing upon seeing Danzel in front of him.

"Tch, it´s you..." Immediately after seeing me standing in front of him, he closed his eyes preparing to sleep again...

"Hey, isn´t too much to behave like that to the one that you scammed?" Danzel said with an ice-cold voice.

Giving him a disdainful look, Jeyckop said.

"What do you want?"

"You see, once I went to see the church I found out that the lock has been destroyed. Which is the contract isn´t mentioned anywhere." Danzel said while starring straight at Jeyckop.

"So..." Jeyckop asked with a frown on his face.

"Well, as the contract says, although the interior is in bad condition. The door itself is broken beyond fuctio-"

"Get to the main point already!"

Seeing this impatient look, I just shrugged.

"Simple, I want you to bring someone to replace my door or at least fix it," Danzel said, only to receive a scoff from Jeyckop.

"Hmpf, you think that I would care for your door? Go somewhere else if you want to have your door replaced, this isn´t the place for such request." Jeyckop stood up and gazed down at Danzel.

Ignoring his intimidation attempt, he said.

"If the door isn´t repaired on the following week,  the contract will be considered invalid, this giving me the right to get my 500 gold back that is clearly more worth that this church." Danzel said with a monotone tone while scoffing back at him.

'Heh, you thinking I didn't read the contract before signing?' 

Moving his hand on Veren's hilt, he released a bit of his own killing intent before turning his back at Jeyckop.

"I am sure the leftover gold that probably lying in your pockets are more than enough to fix a door and still have some to spare. Hear my advice and just do it. That way you wouldn´t have to worry about your neck through the night." Danzel said in a quiet yet malicious voice.

With this slight bloodlust leaking at that too, Jeyckop's frown turned for the worse with a hint of sweat to be seen at his forehead.

"Are you threatening me?" Jeyckop said while grabbing a 2-meter long stick from his side.

Walking towards the exit, Danzel said with an amused tone.

"Yes" 

Stunned by his answer, Jeyckop was about to say something but was shortly beaten by Danzel.

"After all, I can be extremely wrathful at times..." With his bloodlust spiking to the highest level for a second, he quietly left the building, leaving Jeyckop alone standing there slightly stunned.

The last bloodlust that Danzel gave out was even for the giant 3-meter tall man Jeyckop to send chills running through his spine.

"Bastard!" Throwing his stick to the ground, his face was getting red from anger.

Usually, when someone was threatening an employee, they just had to report him to the higher-ups and the issue will be resolved.

But if he were to do this, the fact that he received the 500 gold coins for a piece of land that cost no more than 60 gold would get out.

If that were to happend the remaining 440 gold that was in his pocket would be taken away and his job would be at risk.

At first, he thought that this knight was bluffing, but after feeling the strong bloodlust he couldn't take it as a mere intimidation attempt. But as a threat for his life!

"That kid Serran...where in the hell did you found such a bastard from." Sitting back in his seat, he started grumbling to himself.

"I guess I will have to take some time and meet up with a carpenter..."

Outside the building, Danzel looked in the direction where the street was filled with all kinds of different shops and people.

"With the door issue done, let´s go spend those funds of my..." Making his way towards the street, he looked around until he found the shop he was looking for.

"Hello there, what might it be?" An old man came and asked Danzel who was staring at his shop.

"Yes, I would like to buy this stack of paper"
