Chapter 30 (2/2)

”That was very nice of you. Taking care of the kids and all.”

”I don't want to lose sleep over some kids dying on my watch.”

”Hehehe. and, someone like that set fires that big?”

It's not like I set it ablaze to kill anyone. Who would've thought that Yoon-Ji would be in the forest at the time of the fire? Talk about feeling guilty all of a sudden.

Thud. Thud.

Hye-Won stuck to my right side as I continued waling. I have no idea what she purchased and how she has changed since last I saw her.

And so, we just kept on walking.

Clak.

Yoon-Ji's foot got bigger when it made a noise.

”Uh, this is...”

paht paht paht paht paht!

shewwwwww!

Arrows. I thought everything was in slow motion when arrows were flying out of the walls in Yoon-Ji's direction.

I quickly pushed Yoon-Ji back. I didn't even realize how fast my reaction was, but I didn't have any time to think about it.

An arrow hit my arm. I had few more fly into my stomach.

”Kek.”

It hurts like a b.i.t.c.h!

”d.a.m.n... at least they're not that deep in...”

I wonder if it's because of the Steel Body Technique. The arrow heads had already pierced through my skin, but it hadn't gone in any deeper. I think it's caught between my skin and muscle?

Tap. Tap.

When I touched the arrows, they all fell to the ground. They fell so easily. Probably because they weren't deep in.

5 arrows flew my way and ended up wounding me. Talk about inflicting injuries. Not even the swords Skeleton Warriors were carrying around did this much.

This... has to be because of the Steel Body Technique. And... the effect of the Divine body. Tch. But, I can't afford to consume anymore Divine Power in a place like this. I'll just have to endure it. I mean, my natural recovery rate is fast enough so... my bleeding should stop on its own soon.

”A, are you alright? arrows just...”

”Don't worry about me. I may look weak, but my skin is actually pretty tough like leather.”

Yoon-Ji looked surprised. She put her backpack down and looked for something inside.

”I'm fine.”

”B, but...”

”Look at this.”

I showed her the wound on my arm. Her eyes were getting bigger and bigger as she looked at my arm. She was definitely surprised.

Well, I would be too if I didn't know about my wound healing so fast.

”H, How.”

”Because I acquired a skill that's related to this. So, don't worry about me.”

Although it takes couple of hours for my wounds to fully heal, the bleeding would stop and scabs would form on top of it within a matter of minutes.

”Have you forgotten that I'm a Paladin? I have other skills that heal besides this.”
