Chapter 95 – Episode 95. The Lost Warrior
Kwon Jin-soo said in a somber voice.
“Around noon today, the battle started with the invasion of the Blood Festival Guild.
They tried to break the shield created in the guild using ranged skills.
The guild leader, who couldn’t just watch it, ordered a sortie right away.
The 10 guild members, wearing the guild leader’s skill, ‘God’s Protection’ buff, pushed their opponents with tremendous strength. The number of enemies was more than double the number of allies, but I was helpless against the guild members who had a 20% stat increase and the guild leader’s buff. In addition, the strength of the guild leader itself is enormous..”
Well, this much was to be expected.
Even if there is a difference in the number of pages, Lee Soo-ah had the skill to reverse it. That fraudulent buff skill.
It’s a fraudulent skill that can be given to not just one person, but as many as 10 people, and the aftereffects are infinitely lighter compared to Juniel’s ‘Berserker’ skill.
On top of that, if Lee Soo-ah is strong enough to defeat Orc Leader alone, and if there is a 20% stat increase buff… This is a battle that no one can lose.
But… Why? Why did this happen?
Kwon Jin-soo’s words continued.
“The guild’s defenses collapsed while the enemy was mercilessly driven. Even while being attacked, for some reason, he persistently aimed at the guild’s defenses.”
Whoa.
Kwon Jin-soo let out a big sigh.
He bit his lip and continued the story.
“When the guild’s defenses fell, the number of enemies remaining was almost equal to the number of allies.
More than half of them died. But when the base’s defense was broken… They started throwing something towards the guild base. Because they have the power to break away from human limitations, they all flew to the school through that distance. Dozens of things flew into the school… And they caused a massive explosion. Subsequently, ranged skills also flew.
It was a much smaller number of skills than the first one to break the shield… But it dealt a fatal blow to the guild base where the shield disappeared.”
I bit my lip and let out a groan.
Shi-eun and Ji-yoon were listening to Kwon Jin-soo with both hands covering their mouths with shocking expressions.
“The things that flew into the school were grenades. It must have been an ammunition dump from any military unit.. They threw a huge amount of grenades. Firearms are unlikely to work for those with combat-related jobs, but they are lethal weapons for those with non-combat jobs like us or those who haven’t even activated their jobs at all. What they were after from the beginning was non-combatant guild members, not combatants. I should have noticed that right away…”
Jinsoo Kwon covers his face with both hands.
Grinding my teeth, I said to Kwon Jin-soo.
“How would the deputy guild leader know about that and prepare for it? Don’t beat yourself up too much.”
Kwon Jin-soo sighed deeply, caught his breath, and continued his story.
“From then on, the face of the battle began to change. The combatants of our guild continued to throw grenades towards the stronghold and couldn’t fight properly due to the attacking enemies. Because there are families in the base.
In the end, he could not concentrate on the battle and began to show himself gradually being pushed back by the enemy’s offensive. If it wasn’t for the guild leader, all the combatants would have been wiped out. The guild leader urged the enemy to be defeated first in a surprisingly calm manner, and the combatants were able to wake up and drive the enemy away. The few remaining enemies and their guild leader eventually fled.”
Well, you did win in the end.
No, can it be considered a win?
That’s why Mr. Yooseong stuttered at my question.
“After the battle, the guild leader and combatants hurriedly returned to the guild. And… I came face to face with this horror. Numerous guild members were killed or seriously injured by grenades and ranged skills. More than 20 people died alone. And among those dead…”
Kwon Jin-soo lowered his head.
A suppressed voice escaped his mouth.
“Jia was there too..”
Koowook
Maybe it’s because my fists are clenched too tightly, but the feeling that blood doesn’t work comes up.
He was a child who liked it after receiving a teddy bear and a toy from me just a day ago.
Kwon Jin-soo lowered his head and began to weep.
“I will never forget the look in the guild leader’s eyes as he looked at Jia’s body. The guild leader, who had been looking at Jia’s body for a long time, told me with empty eyes like a person whose soul had escaped.”
-Jia… Please take good care of me. I will hand over the authority of the guild leader, so please accept it. I… I don’t think we can be together anymore.-
“… After saying that, the guild leader left. I couldn’t bear to hold her as she left, losing everything…”
After a long talk, Kwon Jin-soo covered his face again with reddened eyes.
I also gritted my teeth and massaged my stiff neck.
Jisoo, who was standing behind me, massaged my neck instead.
“.. Thank you”
After sighing, I asked Kwon Jin-soo.
“Can you tell me where the guild leader went?”
“.. I do not know. But… I guess I went to the Blood Festival Guild.”
Of course.
Because you can’t leave them alone.
Oh, if I had been there, things wouldn’t have gone crazy to this point.
It was too much that I was caught by the orcs and delayed for a long time.
I got up and said.
“I… I need to go find the guild leader.”
“Would you please?”
“I don’t know if I can bring you, but I will try to convince you as much as possible. Have you been delegated the authority of the guild leader?”
“Yes, I am the current guild leader of the Swordsman Guild…”
“Please take care of the guild as much as possible. Once this…”
I took out two bottles of potion and 1500 gold and handed them over to the deputy guild leader.
“For now, if someone is in urgent need of treatment, please treat them with this potion. The deputy guild leader also uses it. If you run out of potions, use this gold to buy more.”
“Ah… Well, thank you very much. There were still many patients who needed potions…”
Kwon Jin-soo expresses his gratitude with thrilled eyes.
Seeing such Kwon Jin-soo, I hesitated and said,
“…Can I see Jia’s body?”
Even as I speak, I feel a strange sense of self-doubt rising up.
Something I just thought about in my head.
Is this really a good thing?
Kwon Jin-soo nodded and said.
“Of course. All the dead are now enshrined in one classroom. When the sun rises tomorrow… I’m going to have a funeral…”
What Jinsu Kwon is thinking right now is that I am trying to express my condolences to Jia who passed away.
But that’s not it.
Um… Uhh. I have a feeling that something isn’t right…
Did you read my thoughts?
Sieun and Jiyoon looked at me with worried eyes.
“Brother…”
I told them it was okay and followed Jinsu Kwon, who guided me.
The classroom where the corpses were gathered was not far away.
The closer you get, the more you feel the aura of death.
The two men and women who were squatting in front of the classroom stood up to greet Jinsu Kwon.
“Deputy guild leader..”
“.. You have a lot of trouble. Now go in and get some rest.”
At Kwon Jin-soo’s words, the woman guarding the entrance burst into tears and said,
“Well, how can we rest in peace? I’m so sorry that we were the only ones left alive…”
A female guild member holding her face and crying.
Kwon Jin-soo patted her on the shoulder and guided us into her classroom with a sigh.
Inside the dark classroom.
The smell of death rises up.
About 20 people lying in a row.
Among them, there are corpses with incomplete pieces gathered here and there.
Kwon Jin-soo removed the towel covering the small silhouette with a stiff face.
A familiar face lying down with eyes closed as if sleeping.
It was Gia.
“… I can’t see any trauma…”
“Aunt Jeong-suk was holding her in her arms and protecting her… A fragment of a grenade was lodged in the back of her head…”
“Who is that Mrs. Jeongsuk?”
“…”
Kwon Jin-soo shakes his head.
Ha. Really.
Anger creeps up at those who say it’s a bloody festival.
I quietly looked at Jia’s body.
My head is still conflicted with whether to do it or not.
I can cause Jia with my ability.
It is also possible to create Ijido to revive Jia as it was before life.
There is also the ‘Mimic’ skill, so you can maintain Jia’s appearance without any sense of heterogeneity.
If Lee Soo-ah uses the Jia I saved, it will be possible to manipulate Lee Soo-ah to move as I want.
But… Is that really good?
Is it really okay to use the corpse of a child like this?
Raise a dead child and if you don’t want to go back to being dead, do as I say.
This is so…
Of course I’m not a nice guy.
Those who quarrel with me are the ones I can punish, rob, and kill without mercy.
But this… Selling the corpse of a child like this is too much. It’s so trash
It’s the worst kind of garbage.
Will I be able to bear this guilt?
Of course, if I do what I think, Lee Soo-ah will have no choice but to follow my will.
But if that happens, you’ll have a similar relationship with Juniel, who I’m betting on right now, who gave me his body but not his heart.
Haha, what should I do?
I’m worried
“Brother…”
Jiyoon took my hand.
The warm Jiyoon’s body temperature is delivered.
Whoa.
Okay.
First of all, this is not a matter for me to judge.
There is no one else to judge.
Straight warrior.
It’s Lee Soo-ah’s family.
Let’s give her a chance to choose.
And, let’s induce her to follow my will on her own.
This judgment of her honestly putting off her choice to her and inducing her to naturally follow my will, I feel a bit .. Cowardly.
But what is it?
I don’t want to be the scum of rubbish selling children’s corpses, but I can be as bad as a coward.
Mr. Aw The more I think about it, the more I feel a sense of shame.
You should stop thinking
Anyway,
“Deputy guild leader. I will take care of Jia’s body. Would it be okay?”
“… Yes?”
“There is one thing I might try. If it succeeds… Oh, let’s talk about that after success. Anyway, bringing Sua back would be helpful.”
“Ah.. That, that…”
Kwon Jin-soo, who thought for a while, nodded his head and said.
“It’s not someone else’s request, it’s Mingu’s request, so I can’t help but listen. Please take good care of me.”
I nodded and carefully picked up Jia’s body.
Jia’s corpse is so light.
A teddy bear that came up from her clenched hands.
It must have been holding this teddy bear until it died.
The death of an acquaintance is really hard to see.
Especially when it comes to the death of such a child.
I bit my lip and summoned the door of rest, and carefully placed Jia’s body inside it.
Kwon Jin-soo, who suddenly saw Jia disappearing while holding Jia, then came out alone, looked at me with surprised eyes.
“It is my skill. You can think of it as a subspace.”
“Oh, I see. Anyway.. Thank you very much. Ji-ah… And the guild leader…”
“Of course. Until then, please take good care of the guild.”
I said goodbye to Kwon Jin-soo and left the school with his subordinates.
He said goodbye as if he would never come back and left.
You need to find a warrior quickly.
The current state of the hero is like a time bomb that doesn’t know when it will explode.
Don’t know what to do
Perhaps Isua went to the Blood Festival Guild.
Because you will have to take revenge.
I hurriedly got into the vehicle, and the car driven by Dong-seok started to run toward the Blood Festival guild at high speed.
