Chapter 54: Consequences of One’s Choices and Actions (10)

The moment Ru Amuh swore upon Shahnaz, his user infores popped up with familiar information Ru Amuh hadn’t been restored to his full power at his prime There was now a system in place for his recovery of power However, that alone was not enough

Ru A around him deeply Repeatedly, he inhaled and exhaled with purpose, and his whole body responded both internally and externally An energy as refreshi+ng and clear as a mountain breeze circulated within hih his body and purified itself until it settled in his heart His user infore popped up

Nothing had see to Liber, but as soon as heunraveled so easily Although it was only a fistful of energy, it was lanced around the base Like bugs that had found a pot of honey, the cursed ones were swar them were the mutated ones They took their tiy inside his heart The wind responded and grew sharper Rather than a refreshi+ng breeze, it became a ind of sharp blades It concentrated around hi his sword like he rapping a rope around it

“Everyone, please duck down!” Ru Amuh exclaiht A terrifying gale erupted as heoff the cursed beings ducked

Swish!+

The sharp winds whipped past the hero’s arched back and sent his skin crawling He looked up and blinked The cursed ones were still standing in the same place as before, but they had become still as a statue with their arms raised Then a slanted line formed from their left shoulders all the way to their stomachs, and their upper torso was cleanly sliced apart froain Wherever the gust of wind swept, the cursed ones collapsed into multiple pieces

Sliced bodies could be heard dropping all over the place None of the cursed ones hit by Ru Aotten back up However, the mutated ones were only pushed backwards a couple of steps by the strong winds They slowly looked down at their bodies and checked the cuts on their abdoushed out froish mutated ones suddenly turned sharp as they shi+fted their attention to Ru A!

They propelled themselves forith a bounce to their leap and, in the blink of an eye, ferociously struck down at Ru Amuh with bare hands Ru Amuh blocked their attacks with indifference The mutant couldn’t evencurrents whirling around Ru Amuh’s sword

Whoooooosh!+

For the first time, the mutated ones looked visibly astonished Their surprise was further amplified by the fact that Ru Aular block of iron

“Kurgh?”

Ru Aain His hands treers were soon forced open The condensed air currents in his hands twisted more and more like spirals and fluctuated like they were about to explode, and his bumpy palms split in places as evidence of the pressure With the torrent of wind between them, Ru Amuh made eye contact with one of the ht Sensing the danger, the mutant cried out, which pro themselves forward Simultaneously Ru Amuh let out a hearty cry and threw a ball of condensed wind at the wind shot out like bullets following a trajectory, piercing through thehis sword, Ru Amuh lifted all thehis blade back down, all of theround

Ru Amuh—the exceptional hero who had undisputedly saved his planet, Emertle He had been addressed with various titles attached to his na the ‘Ru’s Child’, ‘Aerys’ Sword’, ‘The Promised Boy’, and ‘Emertle’s Most Valuable Treasure’ But those who knew him best simply called hily, theeven with a hole in their foreheads In fact, not even having their heads cut off stopped theet up Ru Aain with his eyes open wide Sharp winds accurately sliced their eyes and robbed theer posed any threat to Ru A their fists around

Their attacks did land on Ru Amuh every now and then by chance but were swiftly knocked away by the wind protecting him Meanwhile, Ru Amuh continued to weaken thes, and bisected the an animal

All the natives and recruits stared blankly Ru Amuh hadn’t projected a powerful aura, nor had he displayed any jaw-dropping techniques All he did was slicing, swinging, and piercing in the most rudimentary way possible That hy it shocked them even more that Ru Amuh was able to cut down his enemies with such ease

His fellow heroes could better recognize how exceptional his perforh he was a hero, and a system had been set in place for hiiven any time to hone them He would have access to only a tiny portion of his powers—not even half, but probably less than one-hundredth of his original powers Thus, it was all thethat he had been able to wield his sword so freely in this tight, limited space while surrounded by formidable monsters

“How beautiful…” so past abranch at ti in its path at other times—Ru Amuh moved so freely and fluidly, it was as if he wasn’t constrained by the limited space at all No other explanation but ‘natural talent’ came to mind, and it was clear that the reputation he had earned following his clearance of a star-cluster event hadn’t been a lie

The heroes ondering the sa as they looked at Ru Amuh: If they had been chosen to recover their poould they have been able to face their enemies like Ru Aht not lose, but they would have gone through a ferocious blood bath They had no choice but to recognize Ru Aht choice

Thud!

The last round The battle was over Pieces of their bodies were scattered all around Ru Ah breath, but he didn’t look back at the did he look at one person with a co, ‘Hoas I? Did I fulfill the role you asked me to play to your satisfaction?’

However, Chi-Woo didn’t respond to hilanced at the fallen bodies around him and quietly closed his eyes

They had endured It had been an ierous escape and life-and-death battle, but they ht have been grounds for celebration, but the atmosphere at the camp re a discussion in the aftermath of the battle

“It would be ideal if our enemy forces had lost their offensive abilities from this battle, but there’s no way that’s the case,” said Zelit “There’s a high possibility that they would attack again with a bigger army An army of mutated ones, perhaps We have to leave this place as soon as possible before that could happen”

The others agreed The attack of the cursed ones had proven true what the leader of the fifth recruits had said Unless their enemies were co Once they learned of the situation, they would send a bigger andtheir enemies with the wide-open forest before them, the heroes had to find a proper sanctuary—a place that could at least coeous terrain for defense It had to be a place where a central base could be established to take in more recruits in the future Preferably, it should also have a source of food, water, and materials that they would use to arested the capital of the Saledom Since it was the capital, the walls would be solidly built, and there would probably be a good reserve of food Moreover, there dooing to be filled with nothing but gold coins We’ll be in a better place as long as there are soical sword”
