Chapter 85

Of course it was a terrifying experience, but that was an expected response from Ahyeon. Though she had recovered from her past trauma to a certain extent, whenever she was alone with a man, it was extremely scary for her. It was no exaggeration to say that it would recall her own obscure memories of the past.

No, maybe the reason why she was so worried was because she didn’t want to have her body tainted, which she had devoted to me.

[Sa...Savior-nim...What do I...]

[I will come.]

[Yes...Yes!]

[Continue to report to me and sustain the mana.]

[Understood, Savior-nim.]

Though she was replying vigorously, her voice was still trembling. As a reputable guy, he wouldn’t recklessly touch or attack Ahyeon, but in extreme circumstances, one doesn’t know how a man might change. Especially if he was wearing a mask, it would be even more so.

Though I said I was going to come, I did not know where she was exactly. Seeing that air was flowing in, it wasn’t like the place had fully collapsed, so I thought that there would be a blocked path somewhere.

I began to recollect the drawn map roughly, but I couldn’t remember. So I had no choice but to move on.

‘Damn...’

Since I needed to treat my arm, I applied a potion roughly on my arm within this small confined space before moving on. It would take nearly half a day to traverse from the north to the south where the Holy Order was. Since I could become lost, I had to move quickly. In other words, I had no time to afford waiting for my subordinates. As long as I inscribed my traces, they will be able to follow me.

Moving along, I rummaged through my pockets to check for my food and water supplies. I could have left everything to the clan to handle things, but due to my old habits, I thought it was effective to carry a small amount of food and water at all times.

‘Good.’

After walking for a long time, I saw a blocked path in front. If I were human, it would have been impossible to find this, but with my current eyes, it was definitely more comfortable. After checking with my hands, seeing that the walls weren’t too wide, I decided to swing at it with my greatsword to see how it’ll fare.

As long as I dig at this with my large Greatsword, and stick the Ancient Flame in the wall to melt it to fluids helping to disintegrate it, I should be able to quickly pave a way out.

[Ah... we don’t have any food. Then...how. For now, wait for rescue...Yes. I understand.]

I heard Ahyeon’s voice in between. Naturally, the situation over there was much worse than here. Since they had left the food, supplies to the Porters and workers, this was the end result. Rather than moving around in a dark room, it was better to wait for rescue.

It wouldn’t be a bad choice to leave it be, but it seems that they’re not considering utilizing the Forest Work body fluids. As long as they had means of melting the hard liquids.

Applying a bit more pressure to my greatsword, with a loud clattering, the blocked cave opened. It was a road that headed towards the south. I was continuing to walk until I heard something.

“Ggirik....Ggirik....”

I was able to hear a goblin crying from somewhere. It’s definitely not the original group as they weren’t able to have joined the group together in time. After quietly closing my eyes and focusing on the source of the sound, I was able to sense the direction it was coming from; the left walls which was completely blocked off.

“It’s me.”

“Ggirik....Bl..Blood Dagger...It’s Blood Dagger!”

A cheer erupted from the other side. They were voices of the map drawing Goblin and the other assassins who were separated from the pack.

“Blood Dagger has come to save us. Ggirik!”

In fact, I was isolated as well, but thinking I didn’t necessarily have to say this, I spoke.

“Wait over there.”

I had to be very careful in digging the walls of the cave. If I were to have hit a weak point within the walls recklessly without the aid of Hayeon’s roots, it could cause a great disaster so I first calmed them down.

“I will dig through the debris.”

“Understood! We will wait.”

Once again, I restarted my operation. With melting the debris into fluids on the top part, I began to scrape at it with my greatsword. Attacking the weakest point of the debris specifically, I soon was able to break it down.

“Crumble.”

Three days later, when I had almost arrived and was consoling Ahyeon to endure longer while waiting a bit longer, it was then.

A sudden scream erupted from the Covenant Ring.

[Savior-nim! Savior-nim! Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!]

It was natural that my body reflexively jumped. As if the Goblins were shocked, they quickly jumped up as well wondering if something had happened. If she was a Porter, then I don’t know, but as someone who was considered my person, of course I had to move my body.

The map was already engraved in my head. I continued to sprint ahead. Hearing Ahyeon’s voice in the midst of it, I hurriedly became desperate.

“Fuck...”

Despite knowing that moving quickly would cause risks to occur, but I ignored it and automatically pushed through. The cave was shaking a bit, but it was enough to hold on.

But when I had arrived, there was nothing in front of me.

‘Was the map wrong?’

I definitely couldn’t help but think like that. But listening carefully, I could definitely hear a voice.

A voice filled with fear leaked out from the Covenant Ring.

“A.............v....i....or....nim”

Her voice could be heard from below. I looked at the goblins and ordered them.

“Wait here.”

“Ggirik. For Blood Dagger.”

In case they could be under danger, I made them stay as I withdrew Ancient Flame and injected my mana into it. Instantaneously, heat churned out as I began to continually smash the ground below me, causing me to fall down.

“Bang!”

What was in front of me was Ahyeon who I had not seen for a long time. She was covered in dirt as her dirty body was rolling around the ground at one side. Her clothes were ripped as she was looking up at me with a rather apologetic face.

And then...

It was a face I had not seen for a long time. It was an unkempt face along with a haggard appearance of someone who has not eaten for a few days entered my sight. As if the light was too bright, he wasn’t able to look at me properly.

“Kereeeeeeuk”

He had a puzzled expression while his lower body was still exposed, uncomfortably dangling.

I pulled out my greatsword and rushed at him. Then, I muttered in the human language.

“It’s been a long time. Son of a bitch.”
