Chapter 8 (2/2)

“Here, kid, take this. It’ll get you a night at the inn and some food. We’ll just take it off your tab.” A coin flashed in the air, and I missed it, causing it to land somewhere nearby.

The guy laughed again as I went on my hands and knees, looking for it. It was starting to get dark out here, so it was really difficult to see.

“Arggg!” A zombie suddenly lunged from a pile of corpses right at me.

“Kid! Dodge!” The guild master’s serious face replaced his playful one as he grabbed for the sword on his back.

However, there was no time to dodge. The monster was in a position where a single swipe would split me open. At that moment, I couldn’t think of anything else to do but cast the spell I had cast all day. I had a theory that if these were undead, then…

“Weak Heal!”

White magic flooded out and touched the monster. As soon as the white light touched it, there was a sizzling sound. The creature stiffened for a moment and then collapsed as if his string had just been cut. The body continued to sizzle and melt until it was just a puddle on the floor. By that point, the guild master had reached my side and was staring at the puddle with surprise on his face.

“It looks like your abilities do more than just heal,” he said with an impressed look on his face.

I nodded, but I was more excited by the announcement on my screen.
