The young girl had a dreaendary weapons were slaughtering the eviltheir path Eventually, they achieved an overwhel victory over the BOSS and received immeasurable honor and their fame spread across the lands — however, in the end, a dream was just a dream It didn’t explain how the heroes toiled to pick up every single loot froh resources for the next fight
Reality is cruel
As she stared at Rhode and the others ere stripping down the rotten corpses, a few gold coins as appeared from the bodies Marlene could only stand beside them with a dark expression and protest
“This is blasphehteous objection fell on deaf ears
“You rabbed a few gold coins that fell on the ground and stuffed it in his pocket
“We are mercenaries, and they are our enemies Naturally, we have to pick up e deserve And… about the matter of ‘blasphemy towards the deceased,’ I would think that the necrouess the dead wouldn’t ain”
“Irrational! Lize! Come talk some sense into him! What are yo—”
When Marleen turned around and saw Lize carefully retrieving a silver necklace on the corpse’s neck, she couldn’t bear to continue her sentence
“Ah, this…”
Lize’s face turned red and smiled aardly It was not that she did not understand what Marlene was thinking After all, when she first joined the e ruckus But noell…
“Our roup’s income is very limited, so…”
While Lize sounded rather sorry and the red tinge on her face revealed her eers didn’t slon one bit as she looted the corpse
“But, ill receive a reward once the ht?”
“Do you think that kind of h for us? Missy?” This time, it was Old Walker who spoke out
Unlike Lize, Old Walker totally rese, he would yank the entire arm of the corpse Then he whipped out a knife fro out a large piece of corpse oil Looking at this scene made Marlene want to puke out yesterday’s dinner
“Every tiold coins, and soroup only has a few members, that’s why the lack of funds doesn’t really show But ordinary ht with their lives on the line just for a old coins But what can this measly amount do? We have to maintain our weapons and armors, and we also need to eat and drink Do you think that we don’t require money to do all of these? Moreover, ill only receive the reward once we complete the mission What if we fail? You want us to suffer froer?”
Marlene couldn’t find any words to refute Old Walker, so she stood idly to a side and stared at the three people looting the corpses with enthusias out the bodies, they continued as though nothing happened
After that incident, they encountered many ambushes later on, but under Rhode’s steady leadershi+p, they waded through the storm without major issues While they only numbered four people, Old Walker had a vast plethora of experience, Lize could easily restrain the undead, and Marlene’s AOE spells were able to make easy work of the undead
As they delved deeper into the ly dank and heavy The darkness seeht Rhode was at the vanguard He clutched the Star Mark tightly as he scanned the shadows before hiilantly Based on his conjecture, he believed that the necromancer was already alerted to their presence
After all, they’d killed sothe way Surely the necro when he lost contact with that h e the necroht now, and further as resurrection
Rhode put down his left hand, signaling the other three behind his once more and spoke to them softly, “We are close to the necroy out now, remember, you need to recall what I say here because I cannot always give coet… then well… I don’t think that I’ll even have to hand out punishments as a dead body won’t be able to receive them anyway”
The three of theuard when they heard that the final battle was close Moreover, when they heard Rhode’s usual indifferent voice, it so the way, Marlene had received plenty of valuable advice froh she had already possessed skill and experience back when she was training in the academy, under Rhode’s co behind those skills When she cast the spell according to what he said, she suddenly realized that so she had studied before was supposed to be used like that This an to follow his coh he was still unsatisfied with Rhode… at least he did not want to be the revolutionary martyr
“Lize”
Rhode faced the cleric behind him since she held the most important role in this battle
“I will be responsible for tying that guy down First, you must remember to stack extra layers of barrier to the others Unless I ask you to, you are not allowed to waste your power ondefense, so Marlene will be responsible for breaking its protective shi+eld Remember, only launch your destructive spells afterhen the shi+eld is down Otherwise, it would only be a waste of power”
“Yes, I understand, Mr Rhode” Lize nodded her head
Seeing that Lize had understood her role, he turned his head and looked at Marlene
“Miss Marlene, as I said earlier, your job is to remove the protective shi+eld from the necromancer With your prowess, it shouldn’t be too difficult If there’s anything beyond your ability, then quickly inform me, and I’ll solve it While I attract the necro you That’s hen you are casting your spells, you need to pay attention to your surroundings Prioritize killing any undead youthe necroe the necroht, no problement on the battlefield, Marlene’s answer became more confident
