Chapter 41 - A Good Samaritan Appears (2/2)
”That guy is...”
”A monster”
”A human”
”...”
”...”
”What do you mean? A human? Are you fucking kidding me now!?”
Eddie's loud voice echoed out suddenly; it was such an absurd idea of Mitchell's. No way in hell could something like that be considered as a 'human' like them.
He was just too monstrous...
Upon hearing Eddie's questions, Mitchell told Eddie about his recollection, ”No, I'm not. Do you still remember the time when we lost unconsciousness mysteriously?”
”Yeah? What about it?”
”At that time, before my eyes closed shut, I saw someone with black clothing exactly the same as that one. Also, I'm quite sure that he had been teleported here with us... I think he... he should be the 50th person of our group.”
”Are you for real? That dangerous being is a human?”
Mitchell looked into Eddie's eyes, then nodded his head firmly...
*Sigh*
With a sigh, Eddie spoke in doubt while scratching his bald head lightly, ”But... how can a human give out such a feeling? Even right now, I'm still feeling goosebumps all over my body from just a single look at that guy earlier. It is just... too dangerous... I'm sure I would be killed in a second or two if I fought with that guy.”
With a frown, Mitchell fell into deep thought.
After a short moment, Mitchell finally spoke up, ”Before that guy went into that toilet, you were the one who notified me about the guy's presence, right?”
”Yep, why?”
”At that time, did you feel different than this time when you look at that guy?”
After some thoughts, Eddie answered, ”Hmm... Before the guy went into the toilet thingy, I thought I felt nothing out of the ordinary at all, but this time, I felt like I was staring at an unsurmountable predator.”
”Is that so? Why... Maybe the distance was too far? Or maybe that guy did something in the toilet, later came out stronger?” Mitchell said in an even more perplexed tone of voice while looking at Eddie's stupid face.
”Don't look at me like that; I really don't know. Let's not think about that, that mons... human is going to reach here soon.”
”Then what should we do?” Mitchell couldn't help but asked Eddie.
As a result, Eddie was stumped for words; he then spoke back to Mitchell sarcastically, ”You ask me? You are a leader of our coup... I mean 'group'. So, it's you, sire, who decide, isn't it.”
”A good leader is the one who listens to his team members' opinions.”
Mitchell bullshitted through with somewhat reasonable words, for he still thought that it was better to believe in someone with beast-like instinct in this kind of situation instead of his clueless idea of the black-cloaked guy's approximated strength.
*Sigh*
With a sigh, Eddie spoke with uncertainty, ”If it were me, I would befriend that guy no matter what it takes. If I couldn't befriend then... I would have tried my best not to antagonize a dangerous hair-raising guy like that.”
Following with a firm nod, Mitchell finally decided his immediate future actions, ”Let's do as you say...”
”Copy that!”
”Alright, get up already, bastard. It's time to go back and fi...”
”Want some help?”
Suddenly, a moderately loud sound came out from the other side, behind those monsters...
The shout was, of course, from Jeremy, who was smiling warmly at them from the opposite side; despite his face looked obscure because of the hood, his nose and mouth were still visible to the people's naked eyes.
At the same time, as if the outlanders had just realized Jeremy's presence, one by one, those creatures standing idly at the backline started turning their heads in Jeremy's direction.
*Cluck* *Cluck*
*Cluck* *Cluck*
With the sounds of their jaws and bones clucking, the skeleton soldiers walked towards Jeremy slowly...
”Well, I guess I have to help out anyway...” Jeremy murmured lightly upon seeing the incoming outlanders in front of him.
After all, killing these skeleton soldiers and imps was also ones of the missions within the Crystal; he had to do it anyway. Moreover, killing them also gave him some SP to buy things at the shop.
As for those creatures' strength, it couldn't even be compared to the hobgoblins whom he had fought against ever since some hours ago at all, for them to be only the lowest-ranked organisms, unlike humans and hobgoblins...
*Whoosh* *Crush*
With a simple swing of his spear, Jeremy broke the neck of the closest skeleton soldier in half...
*Fwhoosh* *Crunch*
By another swing accompanying terrifying wind sounds, another skeleton soldier's body was bisected...
*Whizz* *Puchi*
An imp dropped dead to the ground with a hole the same shape as Jeremy's spearhead on its chest...
Graceful yet without any unnecessary movement of his body and spear, Jeremy killed the outlanders in front of him easily, like killing some bugs.
While the people fighting at the frontline could only look in awe at the mysterious black-cloaked guy killing those undead creatures effortlessly.
The number of skeleton soldiers diminished at a very fast rate...
Not even 10 seconds later, there were only around 20 skeleton soldiers and two imps remaining. That meant, the guy, considering that it was a male's voice, 'he' had killed one skeleton soldier per second at the very least...
Soon, with fewer and fewer monsters remaining on the battlefield with each passing second, those people at the backline and those huddling people at the far back corner also saw the mysterious black-cloaked man.
'Terrifying...' was the only thought that kept echoing within everyone's minds.
The man was nothing but a legendary warrior depicted in the legends and folklores when he brandished the spear...
”Well, you won't let me fight these creatures alone, will you?”
Jeremy spoke with a charming smile plastered on his face to those captivated and awed people...
