Vas POV
Noting to myself to be careful with the tiberium sickle as its brittle compared to a normal sickle, i got into a stance to fight the chos knight

'i should've copied gravelyn, i bet she has a lot of op skills'
the brief moment i was distracted by my thoughts the chaos kight leapt up to take advantage and slashed it's sword vertically at my temple
barely able to dodge it by side jumping i got
cut on the arm and immediately
[-28 hp]
'shit cant let that happen, 10 more of those and im a dead man'
i quickly made some space between us by ejecting a tiberium shard from my arm, forcing it to defend itself, after getting my focus back together i lauched myself towards it, locking both sickles with it's sword and kicking him straight in the tendril eye that was unfortunate enough to be on his chest
with his recoil i released his sword and immediately brought both sickles on the gaps that his armor had on his arms
it was blocked by his quick recovery and he headbutted me stright in my artificial eye cracking it
disoriented with a crack in my vision i leapt back to recover, launching my tiberium sickle at him while forming a new one, the sickle was ignored but it nicked him in the neck prompting a scream and
[-200 hp]
from it 'haha now i know your weakspot' getting used to my new vision i ran upto lock his sword again, this time managing to make him let go of his sword by managing to cut his fingers off the hand
kicking the sword away i dodged his pathetic attempt to punch me, his armor getting in the way of any fluid movements and slashed my sickle straight at his neck successfully cutting it off and getting a lot of purple sizzling blood on my sickle
[sub quest completed - defeat the chaorrupted knights]
[ rewards - shadow shield x15]
[rewards deposited to inventory]
'whew, that was close' sitting down to calm myself, i purchased a bottle of soda from the store and gulped it down
[28 hp]
'huh? neat' i bought another and kept it im my inventory for later use as i headed towards the doors which opened upto reveal a short flight of stairs where Sepulchure's chaotic armor laid in pieces, pretending to be inanimate to catch me off guard
[Chaorrupted Armor lvl 6]
[HP 1010/1010]
[once the armor of the legendary Sepulchure, it is now a bundle of chaos tendrils corrupting and keeping it together]
'this one is more upto what i remember of the quest' i thought as i absorbed my tiberium sickle back into me and formed a long spear out of the same forearm 'let's see uhhh, it should be there' aimung for a rather large bulge in the tendrils i threw the spear which hit true
[-510 hp]
'bullseye' i got into a fighting stance and used my copy skill hoping to land anything that may have been left by the old emperor
[skill copied - Summon Chaorrupted Skeletal Wall (temp lvl 1)]
[summon a wall of Chaorrupted skeleton parts to deal huge amounts of damage]
[cost- 15 mp]
[master skill to lvl 10 to make it permanent]
[due to host having [muggle] drawback, skill is locked]
'fuck' angry at my bad luck i charged towards the arnor while it stood up and started hacking away at the tendrils quickly ending its life and storing it away in my inventory
exiting the crypt i noticed all the defeated Chaorrupted knights' armors laying about while their hosts where missing. suspicious that something maybe afoot i readied my sickle for any attacks and exitied the crypt carefully, at the entrance the knight that was once injured stood, with pieces of his Armor removed to be covered in bandages
[Sir Kuss lvl 5]
[Knight of the Pactagonal Table]
[HP 420/510]
"thank you hero for freeing my fellow knights, due to your timely help most of the knights are getting treatment in swordhaven. sir plos however was too far gone and died" Sir kuss stops to pat me on the shoulder with his uninjured hand
"do not worry young hero, none of the other's managed to save him from his misery but you did, King Alteon sends his gratitude for saving who was once his loyal knight"
handing me a large scroll he told me " he wishes to express his gratitude in person, so when you are ready to meet him please open the scroll and it will send you to him"
'this scroll, its familiar' i opened up my inventory and brought out the other scroll that gravelyn had given to me before i was sent here 'that must mean this is a teleportation scroll back to shadowfall'
"Sir kuss, thank you, i will go report to Gravelyn first and then go to your king"
before the knight could say anything i quickly opened up the scroll i got from gravleyn so i could go get my reward from her. a familiar portal formed infront of me that i stepped through to see the familar throne and chuckles who jumped around chuckling, annoucing my arrival to the brooding empress sitting in the throne
shadowfall
her face immediately lit up as she gasped "you already got the armor?" chuckling at her reaction i brought out the corrupted armor and handed it to her " her face went through a wide range of emotions as she took it from me and kept it on the throne
"father's armor has been corrupted by Chaos. Thank you for returning it to me hero, you may ask of me what you wish your reward to be"
thinking it through i remembered a class you can get for the shadow shields i gotten previously
" I heard you have a certain class that rebirths you as an Undead General, i wish to gain that class"
"very well then, you have proven yourself worthy of gaining that class, i wont be giving you any more than the class itself without you proving yourself in the quest that father engineered for those that wosh to truly be my general. state your name and join me, become my subject" gravelyn
"VasyItso, it would be an honor my empress"

'no'
[race change rejected]
"huh? why arent you undead yet?" gravleyn asked in shock, she felt her power get absorbed to me becoming her subject, yet not of me becoming undead
just as i was thinking of excuses in my head a skeleton with glasses on ran inside holding a stack of paper with a quick bow it started "Empress, I've been going through the late king's documents, it seems your late father had taken out an Unlife Insurance policy but it does not say for what amount. Alteon's tax collector owes us his insurance"
with a heavy sigh gravelyn pushed the corrupted armor to a side of the throne and sat down "clear up my schedule for tomorrow then, i will go get the insurance myself"
"im sorry Empress but you have a lot of meetings with your competition who would take advantage of your absence i simply cannot recommend you leaving at this time"
the skeleretary replied
"damn it, wait VasyItso" she looked at me in hope "call me Vas your highness"
"very well then, vas, you have proven your worth by returning my father's armor, now go to the king's tax collector, a certain Baron Bayconn to get the gold" Gravelyn ordered

"You got it chief" i saluted " I'll open up a portal, give me a second"
"no worries, a knight gave me this scroll" i said pulling out the scroll Sir Kuss had given me
"very well, take another one of the return scrolls then" she threw another one of her scrolls to me, i caught it and opened the other one teleporting me to the castle at swordhaven
