“Ouch.” Alexander and Luca winced in pain."I'm sorry, Luca." Alexander instantly stood up and sat next to Luca. The hurt in his back vanished immediately.“Luca.” Alexander checked Luca’s head, and he sighed in relief when he found no blood, but he couldn’t believe Luca’s head wasn’t injured because Luca’s head hit the wooden block.“Is your head okay?” Alexander touched the back of Luca’s head, and he glared at his hand, which was covered in blood. “Your head is bleeding. The rain makes your blood invisible.”Luca held his dizzy head. “I’m not okay.” He said honestly. He opened his eyes; he tried not to panic when his vision was blurry. He blinked his eyes several times. “Phew.” His vision had returned to normal.“I’m sorry, Luca. I didn’t realize the black dragon was after me.” Alexander was genuinely sorry. He almost had a heart attack watching his friend get hurt because of him. He didn’t want to lose the closest person to him in his current life.“You don’t need to apologize. Yo
Francis ignored Alexander's advice. He didn't hide or run away. Instead, he turned around, pointing his sword at the silver dragon flying towards him. There was no fear in his eyes or face."Come on, fight me, damn dragon!" Francis shouted angrily. He attacked the dragon brutally.The silver dragon tried to approach him, its legs ready to grab Francis' head. Its mouth was wide open when Francis' sword cut its leg; no sound came out of its throat, and it was also frustrated because it couldn't spit out a hot fireball.“Die! Die!” Francis pointed his sword at the silver dragon with killing intent burning in his chest as if he was dueling his enemy or someone who had angered him. He wasn't that cruel when he fought the black dragon that died a few minutes ago.The silver dragon twisted his body, wagging his tail left and right, and turned his head toward Francis. He really hoped that his tail could slap or punch Francis until the young man flew away and lay on the ground.However, what t
“I failed.” Alexander stroked his chin with a frown. “So I should have killed all the dragons that attacked Licore.”Alexander wasn’t worried about what kind of punishment he would get, nor was he wondering where he was. He wasn’t even in awe of the god transporting him to this mountain.“I couldn’t kill all the dragons while it was raining.” Alexander raised his head, looking up at the sky as if he were meeting the eyes of the god, who had given him the chance to return to his previous life and generously granted him power.“If it wasn’t raining, I could have killed them all. Do you think I let them live on purpose?” Alexander didn’t know who he was angry at. He just wanted to vent his anger.“Okay, I was wrong.” Alexander nodded, folded his arms before his chest, and breathed deeply. “I should have been able to kill them all because I have strength, speed, and intelligence.”Alexander couldn’t blame the rain. He was so stupid and weak that he had difficulty killing the demon subordi
“Damn it.” Alexander cursed. He and the two Licore hunters on duty guarding the room immediately joined the other hunters and magic hunters.Three people would not defeat the ten muscular and scary-looking men. They all had to work together to fight the ten robbers.Alexander glanced at the tightly closed window. The ten robbers did not enter this room through the window; they broke down the door. That meant the people downstairs, the employees of the free trade union office, had been beaten by them!Although it was possible that the employees simply surrendered, not trying to fight back, because they knew they did not have the strength to fight the ten robbers.The free trade union office was open twenty-four hours a day and never closed. Downstairs, there should be one or more people working as bodyguards—offering to escort a group of hunters out of the forest alive after fighting bandits and then escorting them back to the inn.“Why did they get to the top floor?” The hunters and m
No one heard Alexander’s scream. The sound of swords and spears clashing dominated the room.The bandit was dueling with the woman who entered through the window. The spear hunter and the magic hunter, guarding hundreds of gold coins with Alexander, were focused on watching the fight and ready to help the woman.“Hey, don’t you see the fire on the curtain?” Alexander looked at the spear hunter and the magic hunter and pointed his index finger at the burning curtain.“Tell everyone! I’ll put all the gold coins in my backpack.” Alexander put down six brown bags containing 600 gold coins. His hands didn’t shake because he was used to holding a lot of money.“Fire! Fire! This place is going to burn!”“We’re going to be roasted!”The spear hunter and the magic hunter shouted to make sure those fighting heard their voices, but Francis, Luca, and the 25 hunters from Licore could only turn their heads for a moment because the nine bandits would take advantage of their carelessness.“Damn it.”
The five senior hunters immediately attacked the eight bandits fiercely. They asked Luca and 22 hunters from Licore to hand over the bandits to them.Alexander grimaced, seeing many injured hunters of Licore. A magic hunter with healing abilities could only help a few people; his power was limited.Alexander looked straight ahead, and he found Francis and Luca. He couldn't see clearly what his two friends were doing because the fight between the five senior hunters and the eight bandits blocked his view. He hoped his two friends were okay.The fifteen hunters of Licore ignored the pain in their bodies and immediately surrounded Alexander, who was hugging his dragon skin backpack tightly. The woman with shoulder-length purple and red hair stood before Alexander with her hands on her hips.They watched the fight between the five senior hunters and the eight bandits in unison. Their numbers were not balanced, but the five senior hunters did not show any anxiety or complain; they actually
The physician had treated Francis and ten hunters from Licore. A few minutes after breakfast with bread, they decided to rush to the traditional market to buy cooking ingredients, vegetable seeds, fertilizer, gardening tools, and tents.They did not spend all the money. Two bags of gold coins were still intact to buy other necessities tomorrow or the day after.The thirty young men returned to Licore slowly because they were carrying heavy luggage. In the morning, there were no bandits, so they could walk leisurely until they arrived in their country.Everyone in Licore welcomed them happily, and they complained that their stomachs were rumbling.The thirty young men agreed not to tell the people of Licore what happened to them last night because it was a risk they had to bear as hunters who sold dragons at the Free Trade Union office.Luca handed the cooking ingredients to the women. He didn't need to tell the old and young women to save them because they were well aware that they ne
Francis and Luca stared at Alexander in confusion and stunned. How could Alexander know that Licore was robbed?The five young men carrying weapons turned to Alexander, Francis, and Luca. Then they walked out of the gold shop together. There was no gold there; they were too late to rob a country the dragon had destroyed.“Wow, wow. We didn’t know people were still alive in this country,” said the young man wearing a green shirt. He stood before his four friends as if he wanted to tell them he was the group's leader.“Aren’t you afraid to live in this country that has been destroyed? You better move to another country,” said the man wearing a black shirt.“I’m telling you because I know you don’t have any money. Before you leave, you should search every building for valuables, and then you can sell them at the second-hand shop.” The man in the green shirt lowered his voice, not wanting others to hear what he said.“We’re not from Licore, but we’re not like you who come to this country
