Chapter 122

Kitsune's tails started to stand when she detected that the mana was moving. Her senses were telling her that someone was controlling it.

"Hm? I never thought that someone can control mana except me... Who's there?"

Jubero appeared. The King sent him to ask the Nine-Tails. King Timar knew that Kitsune would not easily agree. Despite that, he knew that Kitsune was a Legendary being. She was the descendants of the Nine-Tails, the Gumiho. Her power could control the direction of mana. She was a being that's loved by the mana.

"Miss Kitsune, we need your help. "

"I don't want to."

Kitsune waved her hand. Jubero felt the pressure. The force made the cat kneel. His strength was draining. He moved his muscles before fully collapsing. He threw the letter that the King wrote. He felt like the transparent mana was becoming solid and pushed him to bend.

"Before you make a decision, please at least read the letter… ack!"

She stomped her foot. Jubero couldn't move. A million tons of weight was crushing him.

The letter floated to Kitsune. She took the letter and opened it. She read the context. After a minute, she pondered for a minute before releasing the pressure.

"Okay. I'll do it."

"Thank you."

Jubero was lucky that he didn't die. The carriage was already ready. Vania and Evie were waiting outside.

…………………

The Immortal Draugr smashed the place. He was angry that he couldn't follow the mission that his Master gave to him. The Draugr was still busy fighting these people.

The creature was immortal and all of his wounds were healing rapidly. The only way to defeat him was to force his Master to unsummon him. However, his Master was Fafnir, the Greedy Dragon.

The Hunters who were fighting him were already tired. They already drunk any potions that they had. The Draugr believed that this would be the last round.

It ran to kill the first enemies that blocked its path. The undead would target Lee Hal-Sung. Kalman saw this and he used another shield. The Draugr only hit the shield. It looked to Kalman and scream, angry at its Skill.

The most frustrating thing was that Kalman always saved them. Whenever it tried to kill the others. Kalman's shield would always appear.

The Draugr threw a boulder to hit him. The sheer force made Kalman step back but he defended the attack. Kalman thought that this was the right time to use his Last Skill. He shouted to his comrades.

"Everyone use your everything to hit my shield! Bring your full force!"

The Patriarch was clueless why he said that. However, he saw that Captain James and Lee Hal-Sung followed Kalman's request. Lee Hal-Sung used his swords to attack his shield. Captain James slashed the shield with all his might.

The Patriarch didn't know what was happening but he repeated what they did. In this dangerous situation, he could only trust his allies.

The Patriarch was the strongest here. He transformed his body and dashed. His sharp claw struck the shield. The shield cracked but it quickly fixed. The shield glowed like it wanted to explode.

"Good, now get out of here!"

The three escaped the place. Kalman and the Draugr were the only presence in this place.

The Draugr charged to attack him. It tried to smash him but a blinding light covered the whole place.

"Aahhh!!"

Kalman shouted. His arms were numb and he felt like his body was being burned. This was his Fifth Skill. Last Counter. All of the damage that the shield received will be accumulated. The accumulated power would release when Kalman used his Last Counter.

After the fight, Kalman was lying on the ground. He couldn't move his body. The shield was already gone and he couldn't summon it. The power was too much and his body was not capable to take all of it.

He couldn't see the Draugr. Despite it, he knew that his power was still not enough to kill it.

"Fuck. You're still alive huh. "

The dust which was Draugr remaining body was starting to move. Flesh was appearing out of thin air. He witnessed how the Draugr regenerated out of nothing.

"This f*cking Immortal."

Kalman was pissed. Now he knew what was the meaning of losing hope. This was the first time that he faced a fight impossible to win.

Even the Bosses of Punishment was nothing compared to this creature.

Patriarch and the others were starting to return. They saw that the Draugr was still alive. They were already tired. They believed that they couldn't kill this creature no matter how many times they do it.

"… All of you, retreat. I will face this monster."

Patriarch knew that this undead would never stop if they leave it here. Someone must face it.

"Patriarch! We can't leave you here!"

Captain James disagreed. The Patriarch would die if he faced this monster alone.

"James, listen to me."

"Kuck…"

Captain James clenched his fist. He couldn't believe that they would meet a monster like this. It was strong but the real problem was it was impossible to kill. They almost killed it a hundred times but the Draugr always stood up and healed.

"Captain… please. All of us will die if we face it. The three of you are still young. If you compare my life to yours then mine is nothing. Besides, I will die too because of my age. Hahaha."

Captain James forced his body to move. He carried Kalman and escaped.

"Lee Hal-Sung, you're from IHA. If you meet my granddaughter, please tell her that I love her. As for Mikael, tell him to protect my Furrneka, or else I'll curse him in the afterlife."

"Patriarch I will not. You need to say it on your own. "

"Hahaha, I know you will."

Lee Hal-Sung and Captain James ran and left him. The Patriarch decided to sacrifice his own life. They must respect his decision. They never look back. They just ran.

"Now… I guess I need to ask you."

He talked to himself.

"You can eat my arms after this. I know that you're angry at me because I never talk to you after 50 years... However, I need you right now. "

*Grumble*

"Sigh. Yes, you can take my left eye too. I'm old already. I don't care about losing my arms and one eye. "

*Grumble*

"Thanks… Come out, Ratatoskr."

A small squirrel emerged coming out of his body. It had red eyes that wanted to eat anything that it saw.
