Chapter 84: A Helping Hand
Translator: Atlasstudios Editor: Atlasstudios
Everyone was dead tired after entering the forest However, Rhode didn’t allow them to stop and rest Instead, he carried the Cleric who couldn’t walk all the way until he found a spring It was only until then did he let everyone take a breather
“Haa…!!”
Finally! They were allowed to relax Many of the to move an inch Old Walker whistled in a low voice as he sat on a rock to relax
Sereck and Anne were the only tere unaffected by fatigue Both of thes and at that one person as running back and forth to distribute rations froer do you need before you can recover your power?”
Rhode asked as he sat on a rock next to the Clerics Since this wasn’t a ga around, eating bread and drinking water Soul Poas so that came from one’s soul; perhaps it can be said to be similar to stamina However, the only difference compared to stamina was that if one runs out of Soul Power, one could face perame, once the SP was low, the character’s stats would drop by half and if they couldn’t find a place to restore their SP, well, they would soon become a non-combat liability
In his current world, Rhode found out that it followed the same law That hy casters like Marlene and Lize rarely used their Soul Power They knew that once they couldn’t keep up with loss of Soul Power, they were going to die
“W-we need a-at least half an hour…”
Rhode frowned That was too slow! One must realize that this place was nowhere safer than the battlefield from before He didn’t voice it out as he wanted to keep the , but he knew that the evil spirits in this place were different from the ones before They would lurk in the shadows and attack at any moment Their spirit characteristic roup would need the help of Clerics — especially Lize’s Holy Light to hunt the on Marlene’s shoulder with her eyes closed Rhode knew that she wouldn’t be able to recover in a short period
With so many delays… can those people still be saved?</e to hi?”
Rhode raised his head and saw the Swords at him
“I’m just a little bit worried that asted too much time”
Rhode shook his head
“Wasted?”
Hearing hihter Then he shook his head helplessly at the young man and remained silent for a moment He just didn’t knohat to say at that moment!
In his opinion, what Rhode did was already perfect Froroup didn’t even take more than four hours Even the battle on the prairie can be said to reflect his exemplary performance There were neither any casualties nor injuries… only a bunch of tired people Perhaps no one in the whole of Deep Stone City could
When he saw Rhode frown, he thought that he orried about so probleroup’s progress was too slow?
If word of this spread out, roup leaders would ashamed of themselves…
“I think that what you’ve done is already quite good”
Sereck didn’t knoas Rhode thinking about, so he s him on the shoulder
“Even when I’m alone, it’s basically impossible for me to reach this place in such a short ti all of theroup leader At least in Deep Stone City, I’ve not seen one as reliable as you But what makes me curious is…”
Sereck narrowed his eyes and scrutinized the young ure out that the Cleric’s Divine Brilliance could weaken the undead? It shouldn’t be soht?”
“When I was in the Eastern Plains, I’ve fought countless of the undead As you already may know, in some situations, people have no choice but to try various ways to try and survive”
Rhode conjured a lie without batting an eyelid But not all of his words ithout basis The Eastern Plain was situated along the border of the Country of Darkness Though it doainst the Country of Darkness never stopped Due to the harsh nature and survival conditions, that place gave birth to a special class — Soul Hunter
These warriors grew up in the Eastern Plain and can be said to have acquired awith the undead Stories told that when they first wield a sword, their first kill would be an undead The battle between them lasted for a century, but both sides re was solved in private, so the conflict didn’t blow out of proportions
Sereck nodded He didn’t doubt Rhode’s explanation since he knew Rhode’s background Instead, he was curious about why someone like hidom knew that the Eastern Plains were a mysterious and solitary bunch They didn’t trade with other towns, and it was difficult for an outsider to enter their territory They just stayed in their land andabout the outside world
Sometimes Sereck wondered whether Rhode was that kind of person, but seeing it noith his own eyes, he realized that Rhode and the people of the Eastern Plain in his iination had a vast discrepancy
“I’ve heard ruainst the undead day and night Seeing one in person now… seems like the rumors are true”
Sereck was ser on this topic any further He shrugged and scanned the surroundings once more
“This isn’t a safe place”
Clearly, the Sword in the forest
“I know, but we can’t do anything about it”
