Chapter 28: 017 I Away -2 (Part Two)

‘It ht away’

The current peace was just too unnervingly o Even though he wished for this peace to be a good omen, if it was exactly the opposite of that then he couldn’t sit back and do nothing about it

While thinking like this, Harman called out to the convicts “It’s lunch time Everyone, return to the fortress”

They stopped shoveling, the expressions on their faces changing as if their messiah had arrived With their shoulders hunched forward, they began shuffling towards the Ronia fortress to escape from the cold

“Heeiik…?!”

A sudden noise startled a convict, he then quickly took a look behind hi his head, he suddenly realized that his colleague, alking behind him, had disappeared somewhere

The convict continued to tilt his head this way and that while peering deeper into the blizzard The falling snoasat this point, al his view Eventually he spotted a distinct huht that it was his colleague and shouted out “Oiii! Hurry up! I’et so to…”

The humanoid shape finally revealed itself It was a hu a physique at least two , or were si away Its face hadar claws at their ends

The rin with its melted face

The poor man’s complexion paled in an instant

“Uwaaaahk!!”

The sudden scream caused Harman to quickly turn his head Other convicts also looked in the direction of the sound

The two-h the convict by then Claws reseh thehis body up The undead proceeded to bite and tear off theeyes shi+fted around to look at the other convicts in the vicinity

“I-it’s a ghoul!!”

“Run away…!”

“…Uwaaaahk!!”

The sudden intrusion of the undead drove the convicts into panicked confusion They began running away at full tilt

But then,out from the thick layer of snow beneath their feet The convicts were stunned beyond comprehension by the sudden appearance of theseback instead

– Kiiiiaaahk!!

Claere swung and convicts died in droves Monsters pounced on them, pushed them down, and bit them to death

The once pure-white snoas quickly dyed in the crimson hue

The source of the current calao outside the fortress walls to clear out the snow

“Everyone, evacuate! If you wish to live, run!”

Even though the situation was critical, Harmon remained calm He unsheathed his sword, closed his eyes, and quietly murmured to himself, “Oh, the God of War Heim Grant this servant your power”

He opened his eyes to find a ghoul’s claws arriving right before his nose Hared the attack, before deftly swinging his sword to sever the houl tilted its head while looking at the severed wrist Right after doing so, it looked back at Harman But by then, his sword had already cut its head off

The headless undead round

Harhouls were rising up fro the land And fro forward as well

They ran on all fours, and with preternatural agility, began hunting down the convicts one by one

There were too ht back

“…damn it”

Harman quickly turned around and made his escape too

He dashed towards the fortress as fast as he could Even then, he didn’t forget to inject divinity into his entire body whileto this unfortunate poor lamb…”

He spoke the words of exaltation of the God he worshi+pped – and as if to prove that his God was answering his prayers, the divinity within his moved much quicker than any other convicts around hihouls suddenly rose up before hi within the snow roared out and pounced on Harritted his teeth

‘Hoere they hiding all this time?’

Snow had been cleared out yesterday as well But no one discovered anything

‘Did they infiltrate during dawn?’

If so, did they really suppress their instincts even when living hu around on top of the to their instincts? How could such a thing even be possible?!

Harhoul’s claws, cut it doith his blade, then continued dashi+ng forward

Soon, he could clearly see Ronia’s straight walls Soldiers were urgently ate

“Fire!”

Arrows fired by the soldiers struck the ghouls down accurately Their ars were pierced, and their bodies and eyes were stabbed through

Unfortunately, an undead with an intact head didn’t know the ue It would si

“Close the gates!”

Harhts to coates, now!!”

However, the convicts struggled against the pulley controlling the outer gates They loudly cried out, their complexions pale

“I-it’s stuck!”
