Hero without Blood or Tear - Chapter 60

Chapter 60

[42] The foolish daughter of the dead father . (1)

Though I had decided to intervene, the mission was too dangerous . I’d have to put my life at risk . So, I had to get a definite answer regarding the undead city .

Hence, on purpose, with a wobble I said .

“I have decided to help you, however Caroline is on a different level . I won’t be able to easily defeat… . ”

“If you can’t, then get out! A guy like you shouldn’t be allowed to have such a city . ”

What he said was right, but as of now, I needed the promise with his name on it .

“If I help you with this, promise that you will help build the undead city . ”

“You son of a b . i . t . c . h!”

He seemed to want to delay his definite answer, but I didn’t back down . Even if he was a dragon, it was the same . No matter how long he delayed I needed the oath .

“Give me the promise in the name of the Dragon . ”

“Hmm…”

With his eyes closed, he stroked his beard and eventually nodded .

“Okay, I assure you with my name Schwarzertoyel on it . ”

And so, the undead city was confirmed, Schwarzertoyel had years of reputation of being historical and legendary . With his name on it, it would weigh as much as the cities he destroyed and the lives he exterminated . Now, if I won this fight, I would seize the brilliant success like a trophy .

“As you have guessed, I cannot leave the Grossglockner . Now that the agreement has been broken, we will have to focus on defense in the future . So, show me what you can do . And in return, I’ll trust you and decide whether I can leave the job in your hands . ”

“Okay . ”

“Let’s begin right away . It won’t be long before they get here . You have to use your skills to build up a new defensive force . ”

“Okay, but I’ll need your help . ”

The reason why the demons were feared was that they were not only the masters of magic but their physical strengths were out of this world . Presently, I needed a different countermeasure as my level was low and my defensive magic was weak . Thinking of that, Schwarzetoyel took out ten magic potions and stuck them out .

“These are magic defence potions . One potion is enough to negate the enemies . So, you will be able to defend ten times in total . But if not, then it’s better if you died because you’re trash . ”

Schwarzetoyel was being very impatient with this fight, seeing how he was ready to give out ten such incredibly expensive magic potions .

“If necessary, you can use all the magical items buried in that pile of treasures . ”

As time is running out, I should get a proper one…

“Well . ”

With much thinking, I chose a high-quality magic sword .

“The sword is good, but not on the same par with your Ruble-Raynae . ”

“I know, but it’s all because I have a plan . ”

“You are making a cunning face right there . I guess you are thinking of something mean again . ”

I guess with thinking about all my rewards and getting Caroline on my side, I must have not been able to control my wicked smile .

No, I need to pull myself together .

“The work of a commander should be judged by their results, not by their process . ”

“You’re talking like a man full of extraordinary strength . ”

“I’ll be out for a moment . ”

Enthusiastic, I jumped out of Schwarzertoyel’s nest . Then I called upon all the undead and began to give my commands .

“Carry them all into the nest!”

Dead bodies full of Ogres and Oaks began to be transported one after another to the dragon’s nest . I was piling them up as they were quite necessary for the operation .

“Hey, you’re going to turn my house into a cemetery!”

Though Schwarzertoyel complained, he only shook his head in disbelief . This moment was crucial as every moment was important .

“You will keep the intruders out of this nest . ”

Schwarzertoyel said as they both knew it would get down to the point where he and Odgrash the demon had to fight one-on-one .

“Won’t Caroline intervene?”

“No, Odgrash and my grudges run deep . He will try to make this battle a one-on-one . I can’t let my subordinates get in trouble . ”

“Then why bring him here? There are hundreds of them . ”

“You must protect this nest in the battle . ”

Perhaps he expected this battle to be like a fight between the Demon tribe of the mountain and the ones guarding the nest . But he never expected the commander-in-chief himself would come down to battle .

“Odgrash wants something that I have . He would want to secure it quickly during the fight . Do not forget your role and stop them . ”

“Okay . ”

“I’ll let you know what’s going on down there . ”

Schwarzertoyel looked over a few enchanted videos, then he transformed himself back into his main body . As the majestic beast came into his full glory, all the magical lanterns shining in the nest gradually dimmed with darkness following, as if the night had veiled them .

KHUWAAAAAAAAA!

The historical dragon roared with an ear-piercing sound . He walked out of his nest, with his earth-shattering footsteps .

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Looking at him, I didn’t know why I thought he was unsightly . He looked truly magnificent walking in full glory, his eyes full of anticipation for the upcoming battle .

Then, I headed straight back to my operation for this war .

The Caroline of the past had great combat experiences under her belt . I don’t want to face her head-on, but it’s not like there are no other options .

“Oh, dead ones who have come as soldiers, listen to your master’s command!”

As always, a crisis is an opportunity .

Even though at first, Caroline would think she was at an advantage . But later, she would realize that things were not matching up . They were like swamps because of the skill; no one could get out no matter how much they tried and would end up sinking .

“Well, it seems they have arrived . ”

I watched the screen Schwarzertoyel left for me . They came a lot faster than I had thought . I couldn’t help but swallow my spit in nervousness . Through the screen, a powerful voice boomed out .

-Long time no see! Dragon!

Odgrash, whose body was blessed with magnificent size because of the blood he was born with, shouted with his arms open . He was covered in black armor, full of thorns that resembled broken blades .

-KUAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I almost flinched listening to Schwarzertoyel’s powerful roar filled with anger .
