Chapter 67: Distinction In Rank

Kwak!!!

The spear was swung reflexively in response to the incoming gesture.

Although he trusted his guard to the judgment of his Ego Weapon and swung the spear blade, Gorgon, undeterred by his physique being sliced, swung his sword once more.

His emaciated physique didnt thoughts components being severed.

For an undead, the physique was merely a vessel that housed the woke up ego and energy.

Euhuhu, hahahahaha! Good! Actually good!!

His physique burned with relentless assault.

His physique, slashed by the spear a number of occasions, regenerated in real-time, including to the pressure of the swung black longsword.

Thus, he pressed on, in search of a possibility to empty his vitality.

Kahak!

Throughout their change, Gorgon all of the sudden prolonged a regenerated hand and twisted it round his neck.

Concurrently, because the spear embedded in his physique tried to blow up with magic, Gorgon, seemingly irritated by this, twisted the shaft and forcefully suppressed the Ego Weapons magic.

The second the one technique of counter was nullified in a head-on energy contest

Although he tried to empty his life from the throat he held, for some motive, this process was not simply achieved, in contrast to earlier than.

Hoo, this.

The rationale was easy.

The inspiration of necromancy, a curse, began by overwhelming the opponents psychological energy.

The stronger the need to withstand, the tougher it was for a curse to penetrate the opponents physique.

Certainly, an amazing psychological energy. I perceive why that Knight of Dying coveted you, hahahaha!

Conversely, a being with such psychological energy, upon dying, would harbor wishes stronger than any intuition for survival inherent to all beings.

Whether or not or not it’s a grudge, a deep-seated want, or love

Something unfulfilled on this life was known as a robust attachment, longing to be achieved.

That unyielding spirit in opposition to any starvation will certainly change into the trail so that you can endlessly obtain what you pursue.

At that second, a gleam started to appear in Gorgons hole eyes.

Sure, this particular person was a uncooked gem incomparable even to heroes.

Thus, he wished to make him his personal.

He wished to dye his yet-to-bloom potential in his colour at this second.

So let that want bloom into limitless exploration. Wander this world without end with me, and commit your energy to studying every part about this world!!!

Along with his shout, the intensifying energy of the curse introduced dizziness, and the decay accelerated from the hand gripping his throat.

In a couple of seconds, his physique would flip right into a rotten rag, changing into a lifeless being, sustaining solely his ego.

Kwaang!!

Nevertheless, at that second, a being that burst into the area triggered Gorgons physique to be shattered by a decisive strike.

As his physique, hit by the shock, disintegrated into mud, he was free of the pressure that had been choking him, collapsing to the bottom as his breath returned.

Keuk, heuk

He miraculously survived moments earlier than changing into a lifeless being.

But it surely was not possible to really feel reduction, because the presence of the one who had simply intruded was too vital to disregard.

A being who, from past the realm of humanity, might flip one of many 4 Knights serving the Corpse Lord to mud right away.

How might one be comfortable in such a scenario?

Gorgon Zola. Additional unbiased motion is just not permitted.

A being with such energy, clanking with heavy iron hooked up to their physique, intruded into the middle of the area.

The closely armored feminine knight, lined in blood and wielding a fantastic sword, appeared to embody warfare itself.

Quietly comply with to the deepest a part of the dungeon.

Kuhuhu, to intrude with no phrase, how extreme.

Gorgon, going through such a robust being, leisurely reattached his regenerated joints.

After straightening his twisted head, he turned his hole eyes to her and requested.

Knight of Warfare, why do you impede me?

The one who had intruded at this second was additionally a loyal servant of the identical lord.

And one of many knights able equal to himself.

In case you, too, are a being obsessive about your personal attachments, certainly you’ll perceive my want that even loss of life couldn’t quench.

That want is nothing greater than a instrument of our mom.

In response to his query, the Knight of Warfare bluntly answered, as soon as once more pointing her crimson greatsword in the direction of him.

Gorgon Zola. Mom despatched us to this dungeon to analyze and harvest what is critical.

The crimson gentle seeping from beneath her helmet was certainly a response to her ominous magical energy.

The preventing spirit to show her loyalty as a creature molded by the palms of their mom.

And anger in the direction of the idiot who, although being of the identical created sort, continually defied her will and whimsically acted out.

The silence was damaged solely after a substantial period of time had handed because the oppressive ambiance round them had lifted.

Sa

The deserted hero, Yi Ga-ram, who had been watching every part frozen, steadily launched a heavy breath and slumped to the bottom.

Are we alive?

It was unbelievable.

To have survived within the face of an enemy that had annihilated her get together within the blink of an eye fixed.

For a second, she puzzled if this was simply an phantasm seen after loss of life, however her coronary heart pounding in her chest at this second proved she was alive.

There

I.

However.

The person who miraculously survived this second couldnt think about his survival as mere luck.

He lacked the braveness to hurry in indignantly at being known as a small fry.

Why am I not a hero?

Even when he exerted his will to face in opposition to the calamities on the pinnacle of this world.

He felt a bitter disillusionment with the fact of being swayed by their mere phrases, as earlier than.

Sure, it was the identical this time for me.

I had survived, and surviving was every part.

In a world the place folks died like trash, was I too grasping to really feel dissatisfied with the extreme reward of going through two disasters and surviving?

Tadak, tadak.

Within the late hours, as we made our method to the dungeons exit and lit a campfire with the hardly salvaged tenting gear, such ideas started to floor in my thoughts.

There was sufficient leeway at that second for such ideas to come up faintly in me.

Although 4 out of six have been lifeless and we might now not proceed the dungeon assault, we had gathered the required instruments and meals for escape.

With my expertise as a scout, I might dismantle traps, and if dungeon monsters attacked, we might reply with Ga-rams skills.

If we adopted the roughly drawn map, we might escape the dungeon by the subsequent day, and the mission can be thought of full as soon as we delivered the report we had written to this point to the guild.

In fact, because the dungeon was successfully occupied by the undead, the report may change into meaningless No, because the undeads aim was to overcome the dungeon, they in all probability wouldnt hassle capturing these of us who escaped.

Right here, please have this.

As I used to be tending to the campfire, Yi Ga-ram handed me a cup crammed with stew.

Her face, as the one survivor of our get together, had change into considerably gaunt in comparison with after we had entered the dungeon.

It was probably as a result of stress and anxiousness of the quick scenario, quite than despair or overexertion.

Thanks.

I thanked her for the stew she provided, and I frolicked quietly consuming its contents.

It was a preservation meals product of starch-based powder in water. But it surely was wealthy in vitamins wanted for exercise, so it was essential to gratefully eat even this to outlive.

That, um

As I used to be consuming the stew, the lady sitting in entrance of me checked out me intently and opened her small lips to ask a query.

Youre the Hero Killer, proper?

That point on the tavern, if you met me

Maybe I had forgotten to place my masks again on through the chaos.

I believed I had lastly carried out it, however in a approach, it additionally felt liberating.

Now that I now not wanted to cover, I felt I might inform this youngster every part I used to be feeling.

My title is Woo Hyo-sung.

What?

Woo Hyo-sung. Thats my title.

Oh, proper.

Having launched myself face-to-face, Yi Ga-ram, gazing at me intently, repeatedly sipped from the cup of stew, bowing her head.

She responded after emptying the contents of the cup.

Can I name you brother?

Her phrases held an emotion removed from resentment or worry in the direction of me.

Can I proceed to name you brother sooner or later?

Slightly, it was a cautious method from the younger lady, as if she was apprehensive about being rude.

Her extra passive method, in contrast to typical heroes, was certainly as a result of she too had realized one thing from todays occasions.

In a spot past the realm of humanity, each heroes and outsiders should put apart any hatred or disdain for one another.

Do as you’re feeling comfy.

Sure, to outlive, we should band collectively.

Relying solely on the sunshine and heat of a single campfire, the darkness unfold throughout this world was too huge and chilly.
