n“Sh*t!” Lux cursed out loud at the three Rank 1 Monsters that had come to personally deal with them.

n“Run!” Grandma Annie ordered. “I can beat one of them, but I can’t beat three at the same time! Let’s retreat!”

nColette and her friends supported the old lady as they retreated, but the Draugrs didn’t plan to just watch and let them escape.

n“Block them!” Lux ordered.

nThe Forest Wolf and Diablo moved forward to intercept the three Draugrs in order to buy them some time to escape their pursuit.

nUnfortunately, it only took one slash for the Forest Wolf and Diablo to turn into particles of light, which only brought them a few seconds of reprieve.

nGritting his teeth, Lux stopped running and held his ground.

nHolding his shield, Dawne, and one-handed sword, Tranquility, he once again summoned Diablo and the Forest Wolf by his side.

nAfter doing so, he swapped his sword for the Dagger of Frost.

n“Ice Slash!” Lux roared, sending a white, crescent, energy blade, flying towards the three Draugrs that were running towards him.

nTwo of the monsters were frozen in ice, while the third one brushed off the attack despite it dealing significant damage to its body.

nThe Forest Wolf growled as it lunged at the Draugr, biting its neck.

nDiablo, on the other hand, slashed at the Draugr’s hand that carried its weapon in an attempt to disarm it.

nUnfortunately, the bone sword wasn’t strong enough to cut the hand off making Diablo’s attempt futile.

nThis exchange lasted only for a few seconds before the Forest Wolf and Diablo, once again, turned into particles of light after receiving the Draugr’s counterattack.

nDuring this brief period, Lux forcefully chewed another candy inside his mouth, recovering his mana at a fast rate.

nNo sooner had the Draugr killed the two annoying pests, then the Wolf and the Skeleton reappeared in front of it to continue attacking it from both sides.

nIt was also at this moment when the other two Draugrs broke out of their frozen state, roaring in anger.

nTheir eyes locked on Lux’s with the intention of tearing him apart.

nHowever, before the two Draugrs could even get close to the Half-Elf, the third Draugr had once again killed Diablo and the Forest Wolf.

nIt then roared and sent a hate-filled punch towards the red-headed boy, who hurriedly raised his shield to defend himself.

nA loud crash reverberated in the air, followed by a pained cry as Lux was sent flying by the Draugr’s attack.

nThe boy’s body landed over a dozen meters away from where he previously stood and rolled on the ground for a few meters more before stopping completely.

nLux’s body was wracked in pain, especially his left arm, which was bent in an unnatural angle. It was so painful that the Half-Elf’s vision blurred as tears streamed down his face, while he gasped for breath.

nWith every breath he took, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and wondered how many of his ribs were broken. Follow current novels on oᴠel ꜰre.nt

nGritting his teeth, he tried to stand up, but he couldn’t muster any strength in his body.

n“Grandma… Vera…,” Lux said between pained breaths. “Sorry…”

nLux looked up at the three Draugr’s who were looking down on him, with their swords raised high. He knew that he no longer had the ability to dodge the assault of the three Rank 1 Monsters that surpassed his current abilities.

nHis only regret was that he wouldn’t be able to keep his promises to his Grandma Vera, Eriol, and Max.

n“I’m sorry…” Lux sighed as he closed his eyes, waiting for the strikes that would end his life, but they never came.

nInstead, he felt a wave of hot air wash over his body, making him open his eyes abruptly.

nThe three Draugrs in front of him were roaring in pain as their bodies were consumed by blazing flames that illuminated the dark night.

nIt was also at that moment when the mighty sound of a blowing horn reached Lux’s ears. The ground trembled, as hundreds of hooves made their way towards the front lines of the battle.

nSuddenly, something jumped over Lux’s body that was lying on the ground.

nAs if time had slowed down, Lux was able to see the face of an armor wearing Dwarf, who looked down on him from the back of a meter and a half tall Mountain Goat.

nTheir gazes met for what seemed like an eternity before time once again flowed naturally.

n“Charge!” the Dwarf that had jumped over Lux’s body shouted. “Ride warriors of Norria! Push them back!”

n“”Kill!””

nHundreds of mounted Goat Riders passed over Lux’s body as they shouted their war cries. The goats rammed the Undead army, obliterating the Skeleton Warriors that blocked their way.

nThe weakest of the Goat Riders were equivalent to Grade C Apostles (Rank 2 Monster), which was more than enough to easily beat two Draugrs simultaneously.

nCheering broke out across the village as their powerful reinforcements arrived.

nLux felt his body easing up as he heard the sound of warcries spread across the village because powerful reinforcements from the Stronghold of Norria had arrived. They cut through the Undead horde like a hot knife cutting through butter, immediately turning the tides of battle.

nDue to how intense the situation was, Lux had completely forgotten to check the remaining time of the quest that he had deemed almost impossible to clear.

nSoon, the Half-Elf lay on the ground motionless. He had fallen unconscious due to exhaustion and relief.

nThe Half-Elf didn’t even stir at the ringing sound that marked the successful completion of his quest, which had pushed his physical, mental, and emotional states to their limits.
