Raise a Warrior 70

Chapter 70 – Chapter 16. Baking.

Even the evening sun, which had painted the sky red, had completely disappeared over the horizon. The whole world soon became a pitch black darkness.

Grace climbed onto the bed and lay down. Strangely, my heart was beating fast.

Soon after, Jihyeok entered the room. Having set his night watch, he bent his stiff neck from side to side with a light sigh. She jerked her upper body up. He motioned to Huihui to lie down because he was fine.

“Just lie down.”

Jihyeok sat down on his chair and gulped down a glass of water. The flickering and burning candles did a staggering dance once.

She lay down on the bed again and closed her eyes. As the vision disappeared, all senses focused on hearing. I could feel everything, even the rustling of fabric, the creaking of the floor, and his light sighs.

Soon Jihyeok got into bed. For a moment, Grace’s breath stopped. He glanced to the side. And he said to her, who looked a little stiff.

“Would you like to hold hands?”

Ah-.

“… Are you okay.”

“Okay? If you want to hold it, you can hold it without saying a word. You can hug me if you want to hug me. Understand?”

Jihyeok patted Grace’s arm once and closed his eyes with a long snort.

She suddenly felt a pain in her chest. Could she be so comfortable? Reig and his comrades died so horribly and unfortunately, how could she be so comfortable with herself?

Ah, ah-

Anxiety kicked in again. She gasped for breath and her heart raced. It seemed that she would die. She was afraid that if she stayed like this, she would suddenly die.

Then the captain hugged Grace tightly. And she whispered softly.

“It’s not your fault. Are you okay. Because it’s not your fault So, you can put down your burden now. You were out of luck. It was an accident. You couldn’t help it.”

Raig, Raig, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m the only one alive, I’m sorry… !

She forced herself to be unhappy because of her terrible guilt. She is self-deprecating and broken. She didn’t accept any happiness. She refused any calmness. … It was the price of surviving, she thought.

“Grace, it’s okay. Accidents always happen. There are limits to what you can do Don’t let it ruin your life. Surviving is not a sin. Reig will be glad you bought it too.”

No, no.

“I will definitely avenge you. And let’s get away Let’s brush it off now. I will definitely take revenge. Huh? Believe. The boss can do it. So trust the boss. I will stay by your side.”

Aaaaa.

Eventually, Grace cried. I’m sorry for the dead lover. I’m sorry for my dead comrades. She’s sorry she survived.

“Sometimes the world is cruel. It can’t collapse If there is bad luck, there is also good luck. … It is your good fortune to have met your colleagues now.”

Symptoms soon improved. After crying for a while, her heart felt much lighter than before. She has not been relieved of all the burden, but she has been greatly relieved.

Jihyeok whispered as he stroked Grace’s head, which was held in her chest.

“To a smoker, to a swear word… , He’s a crybaby now, huh?”

“… Not a crybaby And I’m not a curmudgeon…”

“Are you okay. If you want to curse, you can. You can cry if you want to cry. … There is nothing more frustrating than not being able to do what she wants to do. Do as much as you like until you feel better.”

Heh-. She rolled over from her captain’s arms, snorting Grace.

… This year, Antal.

Jihyeok sat upright again.

“… Good night, Captain.”

“You also.”

Soon, a loud sound of breathing was heard. Hearing that, Jihyeok closed her eyes.

· · ·

Thump.

– Captain.

Jihyeok opened his eyes. Then she quickly got out of bed and opened the door. She was a kayak

“Looks like you came.”

“I get it. Don’t go down soon Get the kids ready.”

“Yes.”

He turned back The commotion woke Grace as well. She also quickly got up and prepared to leave in a hurry.

Jihyeok hung the holy sword he had left by her bedside on his waist and went out with Grace. Team members and knights gathered quickly. The villagers got up one by one and headed to the temporary shelter.

Soon, the Jihyeok team and the knights all gathered. The warrior glanced at their faces once. Thanks to the bright moonlight, the view was clear.

“A horde of ghouls will come soon. It won’t be an easy fight. They move even if their limbs are cut off or their bodies explode. Its only weakness is its head.”

Jihyeok tapped his head with his index finger.

“The purpose is not to catch the ghouls. The goal is to defeat the necromancer while keeping the villagers safe.”

“Okay!”

“I believe that each person has familiarized themselves with their roles. Good luck then. Everyone to their positions.”

While the team of warriors broke through the horde of ghouls and grabbed the necromancer’s head, the knights decided to protect the villagers. The knights matched their pairs and scattered to their respective locations.

There were no healers in the Knights, but since they all wore sturdy armor, they wouldn’t be easily defeated by the ghouls. The key was to smash the necromancer’s head before too many ghouls flocked to the village.

Jihyeok and his teammates went into the outermost house.

Whoop Whoop.

The sound of heavy breathing leaked out. Everyone grabbed their weapons and waited for the right time. Jihyeok called Yael. She approached her captain, clutching her staff with both her hands.

“You know that ghouls are weak to light and fire, right?”

“Yes.”

“Your role is important. You have to support me from behind. … Grendal-!”

“Yes, chief.”

Grendal, a huge orc, approached with a large horn bow.

“As you protect Yayel and Grace, you support them together. Understand?”

“Yes.”

“Gid, Mafushu.”

This time, the two men and women took a step forward.

“The two of you have to hold on well so the three of you behind are safe. You know what I mean?”

“Yes.”

Jihyeok called the last remaining kayak.

“Kayak.”

“Yes, chief.”

Lizardman replied politely.

“You go with me.”

“I will follow you until the end.”

Everyone burned their will to fight. If it was the captain, he had no doubt that he would be able to defeat the necromancer. He was the one who caught and killed the devil as if he were playing with him. I was convinced that at least a necromancer was no match for the captain.

“As soon as they leave the building, they move according to their roles. Understand?”

“All right.”

Everyone answered with unanimity.

They held their breath for a while longer and waited for their enemies. Soon, something wriggling in the distance began to approach.

Huh-.

Seeing it through the window, Yayel covered his mouth with his hand.

All of the ghouls walking around were terrifying. Not only were their limbs strangely broken, but there were also those who had their stomachs ripped open and were dragging around with profuse entrails. It was normal for a body part to be missing.

The number of ghouls was staggering. It was such a huge number that it was difficult to guess with the naked eye. To be honest, even Jihyeok was a little surprised.

Fuck this… !

The empire that had been neglected until the situation reached this point was also a fucking asshole. If at least an investigation team had been sent, it wouldn’t have deteriorated to this extent. Because of this, villages are helpless.

“Daejangdaejang, is this okay?”

Gide said in a slightly frightened voice. Jihyeok took a last look at his teammates and said.

“Anyway, they are weak and have a lot of heads. Keep your mind straight. Then you won’t die.”

And signaled to leave. They resolutely fought back, grabbed their weapons, and went out of the house.

ㅡㅡ!!

The smell of rotting corpses was so strong that it could be smelled from afar. Ooh-. Yayel, who has a weak stomach, already vomited.

“Get your mind right!”

Jihyeok shouted and went forward with the kayak.

It’s dangerous if you drag it on for a long time.

He had to find and kill the necromancer as soon as possible. … The hero took comfort in the fact that the ghoul was a bit slow. However, no matter how slow it was, it was dangerous to push ahead with numbers.

Soon, a bright light poured from behind. It seemed that Yayel had created a sphere of light.

ㅡㅡㅡ!!!

The ghouls who saw the light hesitated for a moment. His movements were a little more sluggish, but not enough to stop him from moving.

However, even that much was of great help to Jihyeok. He took one look back at the kayak and nodded his head. Lizardman grabbed the sharp mace and quickly followed the hero.

Soon a ball of fire flew and landed on the ghouls, exploding. In an instant, dozens of ghouls were scattered. From that point, Jihyeok ran as hard as he could and began breaking through the ghouls.

It was a truly staggering number. It was impossible to guess just how many villages had been swept away.

Humans and Lizardmen moved forward, brandishing their weapons like mad. The fire magic continued to explode in the ghoul crowd.

The direction of the ghouls heading towards the village was suddenly swung. They rushed towards Jihyeok and Kayak.

Did this bastard get scared already…

“Kayaak-! Follow me——!!”

Jihyeok swung his holy sword wide and moved forward without hesitation. Kayak followed closely behind the hero, dealing with the clingers behind him.

Whoops, whoops.

Breathing heavily, the two killed and killed the endless hordes of ghouls. The corpses who lost even fear and just moved as commanded were not afraid even if their heads were broken or their bodies were cut off. … In terms of the military, they were close to perfect soldiers. Because I don’t eat, I don’t sleep, I don’t even fear death.

The ghouls that were attacking Jihyeok and Kayak suddenly stopped moving and began twisting their bodies strangely. The hero sensed something bad. He moved faster.

The ghouls suddenly began to gather in one place. Their bodies began to crumble.

Fuck this.

The lumps of flesh that had been crushed together began to form again. It was the shape of a giant.

“Majestic——!!”

Kayak urgently called out to Jihyeok.

“Ignore it and pierce it!”

Jihyeok moved faster, cutting through the group of ghouls. Then a fireball flew. It hit the corpse giant on the back and exploded. The giant stumbled once.

ㅡㅡ!!

The hero team confirmed that the ghouls were no longer approaching and hurriedly moved to help the two.

Wizard Yayel identified the giant and started chanting high-level fire magic this time. The strong mana began to swirl around.

In the meantime, Grendal hung three arrows on each bow and pulled hard on the upper string of her poem. When he let go of the string pulled to the limit, the arrow flew as fast as light and pierced the giant’s torso.

The shock knocked him forward. However, two more corpse giants rose.

ㅡㅡㅡ!!!

“This cyberbully, it’s like fucking bullshit!!”

Gide cursed thickly like that with a contemplative face.

Fortunately, just in time, the knights rushed and joined them. The captain gave orders to his men to slaughter the enemies.

Yayel, who had been sweating profusely and chanting for a very long time, finally completed high-level fire magic. It’s not yet at a perfect level, but it still has tremendous magic power that is on a different level from that of the lower level.

She blew it at the corpse giant. It was definitely slower than low-level fire magic. However, the slow giant couldn’t escape it and got hit right on.

At the same time, there was a huge explosion that lit up the surroundings. The area around the explosion was also completely devastated.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!

In just one shot, the giant’s shape completely disappeared. Everyone was startled. Yayel’s jaw dropped as if he hadn’t expected the explosive power to be this strong. Because this is the first time I’ve used it in practice.

“This fucker, ohhhhh!!”

Gide was very luminous. The guy jumped up and down to cast more magic.

Jihyeok and Kayak also looked away for a moment at the tremendous explosion they felt behind them. The captain was satisfied.

… Well done Yayel.

If that was the case, it seemed like I wouldn’t have to worry about it. They also pierced through the thick ghoul walls before they knew it.

It was only then that Jihyeok’s eyes widened. In his eyes, he saw a necromancer standing on a low hill and manipulating the ghouls. The warrior rushed into it without delay.

The guy started pouring out his demonic energy in a hurry. The two beings standing next to the sorcerer as if escorting them moved. His movement was completely different from that of an insignificant ghoul. It looked like an enhanced ghoul that had been fed plenty of demonic energy.

A corpse giant approached right behind him. The ghouls continued to flock.

There was nowhere else to retreat. Jihyeok moved on. Kayak also faced the reinforced ghouls that jumped and attacked like four-legged beasts.

The corpse giant dropped his fist with the momentum to crush Jihyeok’s body. The hero moved his body to the side and easily dodged his fists, then slashed his body and slashed the attacking ghoul in half exactly with the holy sword.

ㅡㅡ!!

And the hero quickly rushed towards the necromancer. His body was already right in front of the magician’s nose.

Ji-hyeok saw that he had already rotted away because of Magi. He swung his sword hard to kill him with a single stroke. However, the sword bounced back with a thud as if it had been blocked by something hard.

The necromancer grinned wickedly, baring his teeth. It was a look that dared you to do that.

… Smile?

Jihyuk’s face hardened. He sent his holy sword behind his waist. His posture lowered slightly. And the moment his body leaned slightly forward, the holy sword moved like a beam of light.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!

Before I knew it, the holy sword stood tall, pointing to the sky. The shield made of demonic energy shattered in a single blow. His body was also split diagonally.

“Aaaaa.”

The necromancer’s screams shook. The moment Jihyeok moved to break his head, suddenly something aimed at his face and pinged. The hero quickly turned his body backwards to avoid it.

Something unusually large grew from his severed arm. It resembles that of a monster rather than that of a human.

“Kuhuhuh, uhhhhh… !”

Judging from the hideous demon, it seemed to be the arm of the devil that contracted with it.

The huge arm bent grotesquely and moved quickly. It followed tenaciously to kill Jihyeok.

“Bastard, you’re behind… !”

The sorcerer glared at the hero with bloodshot eyes and spoke so gloomily. Suddenly, the arm grabbed the guy’s head and pulled it out. The head soon crumbled like a rotten watermelon in his hands.

ㅡㅡㅡ!!!

Another head grew in place of the head that was pulled out. He was the devil

-Hee hee

The bastard quickly took control of the magician’s body.

Jihyeok snapped his neck. … He came to catch the necromancer, but suddenly he caught a demon.

Soon, the area around him gradually began to turn into a land of death.

And the devil descended on this land.

It was Kebola, the demon of corpses.
