Chapter 109: Lunatic Lupus (2)
The effect of the yong a whole bottle of holy water, was astounding Although Shahnaz had told Chi-Woo the yongmaek would exist only temporarily since it was artificially created, it seemed they had far different standards about what ‘temporarily’ meant Dozens and dozens of recruits went in and out of the place every day, and there were some heroes who never left the place unless they needed to eat Yet the yongy At this rate, they would be able to use it for at least several est problem was their lack of time It would have been ideal if the recruits could leave the fortress after harnessing as h time Soon, a massive peril would befall them, and they needed to move quickly to survive The witch said that if Chi-Woo fulfilled his side of the bargain first, she would also complete her end As repeated et rid of asaround the ex-Salem territory as possible The second part was for Chi-Woo to defeat the God that the Abyss would have to fight
Truthfully, Chi-Woo thought the first part of the bargain could have been better If only the witch had given him a bit more leeway, they could’ve combined forces with the previous recruits and attacked the capital with comparatively better nu the rest of the recruits after helping to block Sernitas’ attack However, the witch hadn’t allowed for such things Chi-Woo thought this was unfair of her, but Zelit thought differently
Zelit supposed that Onorable Evelyn considered Chi-Woo to be an interesting existence, but one she couldn’t fully put her trust in Plus, it was likely she wasn’t too pleased by the fact that Chi-Woo had made his plans based on the proposition that he would defeat the God setting out to attack the Abyss
“The witch will probably calculate not only yours, but our value from this event She wants to see how much we can do apart froet rid of a sizeable force belonging to the Demon Empire with our few numbers, she will probably see our collaboration with you in a different light,” Zelit said and asked self-assuredly, “In your conversation with the witch, did she repriest you do so?”
Although the witch hadn’t told him so blatantly, she had hinted to hiive hi all of your opinions]
Recalling these words, Chi-Woo thought Zelit’s guess held substance But it was ap between their powers for them to complain about the injustice of it all They needed to do what they were told to do, and Chi-Woo needed to do his best to not trigger the witch’s capricious temperaments—at least for now
After some time, there came the day for them to fulfill the first proress beyond their expectations, and a total of 42 people were able to use their energy, albeit only a tiny aest factor in this success was the collaboration between the traditional heroes and the modern heroes The traditional heroes who succeeded in harnessing their energy approached the modern heroes first and offered to teach them at Chi-Woo’s request; and thus, the modern heroes momentarily let down their pride and learned
The majority of their skills were at rank F, but that alone was enorress After all, only four people had been able to use their energy so far, and now, the number had increased by 105 times
Crackle! A sertips “Although I can only use very basic and siic, I think I can be of much more use now,” Zelit ertips
But this wasn’t all that they had achieved Before leaving the fortress, all the recruits gathered at the entrance, and each of them had a different look than before Their eyes were shi+ning It seey, their confidence had seen another boost
“See you soon,” Ru Amuh said calmly as he always did
“Yes, come back safely Let’s meet at the capital later,” Chi-Woo sht? Never ever Do you understand? You really can’t die this time It will be the end then, the end!”
Chi-Woo didn’t understand what Ru Hiana meant by ‘the end’, but he also said his farewells It hadn’t been long since Chi-Woo caht he was dead, so it was understandable why she was so worried
“Don’t forget our promise” Allen Leonard winked at hi fields at the capital too?”
“Haha Are you alreadyplans for the future? Co how my ranks rose, I will show you a capital made entirely of fields”
“Well, that would be too , and his laughter grew farther and farther away The recruits were gone now As they had discussed before, they would go across the border and gain experience by defeating groups of monsters Then, in the end, they would try to take over the capital As the recruits grew farther away and eventually disappeared beyond the hills, Chi-Woo turned around He felt his body tremble from nervousness Still, he needed to believe in himself; to do so, he needed to train and train some more
It was as he predicted Less than ten days after the recruits left, Chi-Woo felt a fa for him As he followed the voice, he saw a square shrouded in darkness When he was lying near the yongh in the sky, but ti Chi-Woo wasn’t surprised, though, since he had been preparing to leave at anyHe was about to head to the square when he stopped There was a wo at him from far away in the corner It was Eshnunna When he approached her, he saw her oval face and met her eyes
A calm silence circled around the two
“…I don’t knohat I should say to you,” Eshnunna finally spoke “I just think…I was a frog in a hen I was in the forest” It was a reasonable thing to say Back in the forest, she had thought she was inside a ditch filled with despair; now that she was outside, however, she was in hell, where every et her surrounded by hellfire At this point, Chi-Woo realized that Eshnunna wanted to cheer hi like, ‘Do your best’
Words were , actions needed to follow For exaht now and help him by his side, or she could even join the recruits to take over the capital However, she couldn’t do anything but wait patiently Of course, staying here was in itself a dangerous ordeal even though they had left with the natives soe the fact that she would be in a co to the capital, or Chi-Woo Thus, Eshnunna hesitated to say anything
Knowing how she felt, Chi-Woo purposefully joked, “Why? Are you worried that I ain?”
“What?” Eshnunna’s gaze iain I really won’t let it go easily next time”
Chi-Woo smirked at her sharp words, which hed aardly and fanned herself Then Chi-Woo asked, “Do you want to make a bet?”
Eshnunna’s eyes widened at the sudden offer
“I win if I come back safely And if I win, please fulfill one of my wishes Unconditionally”
“A bet…” Eshnunna blinked and tilted her head “That means I have to bet on the opposite result, and it means that I’ll only win the bet if you don’t come back safely I don’t want to make this bet with you I refuse”
Chi-Woo was secretly glad that she firhtly, “Don’t worry There’s no way that I’ll lose this bet”
Only then did Eshnunna catch Chi-Woo’s intentions She slightly aze away and shyly replied, “…Then…fine” Soon after, she strongly nodded, “You promised”
“Yes, of course I pro one of my wishes, I will definitely come back safely Ah, don’t worry too much I’ll ask for a wish that you can easily fulfill”
“Yeah, yes I’llto what you want, but I’ll gladly grant your wish” Eshnunna s what Chi-Woo had h, Eshnunna ained the opportunity to officially call the princess of Saleanstill like a stone statue
