From No Body To Hero
Episodes 10

Mass abduction is not something that can be underestimated.

"How do you know that? We've just arrived and you've concluded it so easily."

Ailen asked with her hands on the handle of her sword. As a successor, the kidnapping affair must have been a good experience for him.

"Too silent. Even if everyone left the village, they would not bring their child. Also who welcomes us is not the village chief but a woman who shivers in fear."

That fact does not strongly support that mass kidnappings took place. But now they knew why Bern had become so cold in front of the village entrance.

'But if you think about it.....'

Everyone started thinking about it again. They got carried away here and the labyrinth has no teachers. If they did not bring teachers, they would become the food of demonic beasts and kidnap prey that was so easy.

If Bern had not used the transportation circle to move the other students, something very bad would have happened.

'Possibly the same mastermind as the incident at the banquet for the new student.'

That can be concluded together considering that a large transportation circle poll also transported 20 buffalo ghosts there.

The coldness of their nape. If what they think is true, this is not just an ordinary mass abduction.

"The devil's power user."

Anton muttering.

The demon power user is a criminal. Using demonic power could indeed make one become 3 times stronger. But after getting the power of the devil, they will be mastered by the devil to eliminate his rationality as a human. They could even kill a weak and innocent grandmother just for sheer pleasure.

Bern stood up and held his staff pointing to one place. Everyone is confused by that.

"Show yourself. There's no point in hiding."

Suddenly appeared a cloaked man with a magic wand whose size is normal. On his robe has a devil skull emblem horned buffalo and behind him decorated bingtang four grandkids.

Everyone held onto their weapons tightly and were wary of the man.

"Currently, why is this child constantly interfering with our work. The boss will be angry, you know."

The person he called was Bern.

"You're even more annoying than the knights in the palace. Why are you so fond of entering into a situation that makes you hurt yourself?"

No one can argue that. First or now, Bern is hurt for someone else.

"What do you mean? I just act rational and move forward."

Well, at least the owner of the body is insensitive.

"Who are you?"

Back to the question again. But the black-robed man on his knees stared in Bern's disdain.

"What talented. I hate talented people."

He quickly got in front of Bern and snatched his wand as well as his grimoire.

"Good bye."

That way, the mysterious cloaked man disappeared within his ash-coloured transportation circle. His normal cane was just left behind.

"Ugh....."

Bern groaned and swallowed the blood that was in his mouth. The taste of blood is really not good.

"Bern!"

Anton. Bern didn't know why his body was like being pricked by thousands of needles after the man left. So he was not prepared for the pain.

'I'm fine.'

But it can still be held. Not the time to fall just because it rained thousands of needles.

"[Cross the ocean.] Ughhhh...."

Bern tried to cast another spell.

"Stop it Bern!!!"

Anton frantically does not know which sky the ground sees Bern trying to cast another spell. He's not one. Everyone there was very panicked considering Bern's condition.

Bern ignored their panic. If they kept quiet, there was nothing they could do.

"[Sound is communication.]"

Suddenly the screen appeared showing Kleio's workspace that was in the fog. Kleio raised his head and jumped down backwards in shock.

Everyone just silently looked at that reaction from the crown prince who had always displayed a graceful demeanor in public.

Kleio quickly confirmed his hair. He stood up and looked at the screen with his snake smile in annoyance.

"Who would dare to call directly into the crown prince's den?"

Kleio was right as if he was ready to kill someone.

"Leo, it's me."

His snake smile stiffened and finally looked properly towards the screen. He can finally see some missing people and Bern who is downcast while on Anton's back. His eyes turned cold and his snake smile disappeared.

"Bern, are you okay?"

Kleio asked.

"Yes." Yeah."

Bern's answer is concise. Zion became angry. But the one who spoke cut him off in a furious tone was Ailen.

"You can say you're okay!? You coughed up blood and just groaned in pain!"

Kleio knew Bern's 'yes' that couldn't be trusted. Yet hearing his condition from the haughty young master Ailen was something he could not believe.

"Forget over. I'm just gonna make a brief report on where I'm being unstable."

Everyone is silent.

"Mass abductions occurred and the likely mastermind was the same as the incident in the banquet hall. Send help to the black rain forest as soon as you can."

Kleio did not feel it was a short report if he should write a report for the noble Alen king.

"Also I'll move."

All confused for a moment. Amidst the confusion Bern pulled his spell back. Only Kleio knew what he meant and wanted to be angry.

"You.......!!!"

What Bern meant was that he would move to rescue the kidnapped prey.

Kleio immediately ran outside. He felt his heart would be dislodged if he continued to work with a punk who was so fond of putting his life on the thread.

Kleio quickly moved. He also reached for his sword.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we can't contact them! There's a huge disturbance!"

The royal witch cried out in dismay as a witch lay to the floor groaning in pain.

'What? Which distraction? How big an effect would it be for Bern to spend a few minutes talking to me!? There should be no reports from Duke Zeke! Uh! I'm going crazy!'

Kleio scratched his head in annoyance with all the things that would give him a headache.

"Get horses! We have to get there right away! It's okay if we don't tell our arrival!"

Kleio quickly gave the direction and everyone quickly moved.

"Provide as many medical supplies as possible!!! The greatest royal magic healer! Bring everything!"

Given Bern's current condition, he could only be prepared for the worst.

****

Bern pulled out his spell and coughed up a little blood. He can't swallow everything.

He got up and took the stick on the ground. He moved quickly out of the room. The black rain was still rushing down wetting Bern who was already a little dry.

Black rainforests rarely rain. Within a month, it can be calculated by finger how many times it does not rain. That's why the village can't be built well.

"Bern wait!"

Anton stopped Bern's footsteps.

"Do you have to go! Look at your condition! Just wait for reinforcements!"

Anton tried to persuade her.

"You don't have to follow me. I can go alone. You guys stay and wait here."

Bern didn't want them to come along, either, considering they were very young.

"What do you mean!? If you go, we'll come! Can't you consider sitting still!?"

Lewis was also a bit angry considering it was his homeland but Bern was moving like it was his homeland. He is really useless. He should be like Bern. However his hand that was holding the spear shivered.

"How long from the palace to here?"

Bern asked.

"Huh? 3 Days with horse. But we can use the transportation circle."

Anton answered confusedly.

"Talportation? I wish I could send you guys over the transport line, too."

Bern said that and everyone could see Bern's trembling hand. The mana within his body was so unstable and painful that he wanted to roll on the ground for 10 meters. But he still stands firm. As an adult there, he could not submit weakly and tear down the spirits of others.

"I'm fine. Your Majesty, what if you make a circle."

Zion's distraught. Everyone there is confused. Why did someone suddenly make a circle?

Zion pon just tried.

"Ughhh!!!"

Zion immediately groaned and wanted to roll on the ground but Uen held her back. Everyone was shocked and saw Bern who was still calmly standing despite using a lot of magic.

"Well.... Huh..... Ba, How....?"

His breathing was heavy and looked at Bern in disbelief. How Bern could still stand in pain, no, maybe 100 times more pain than he had because from the beginning his mana was already unstable.

"Resistance will not be up to 3 days. Unstable mana makes a magician in pain when using mana. So I'll go alone. You guys just wait here."

Bern said that and wanted to leave. But Lewis pulled his sleeve.

"This is my hometown. I will go even if I lose my life. I know I'm a burden.... But...."

Lewis couldn't let a person who didn't even have anything to do with the village settle it alone. Where is his pride as a native?

How sad is that situation? He's definitely the strong Bern won't take it. It is better to take Ailen or Uen who is really experienced.

Pat's.

But what he felt was a hand that was not big nor small landed on his shoulder. But the hand was heavy.

"Since when am I the chairman that you should ask permission? This is your hometown. So it was you who should bravely preside over, not ask for permission."

Lewis's eyes were shining. He was always ridiculed because the poor were also very weak.

"Load? Only the one who does not know that he is weak is a burden. Everyone is still learning. There is no such thing as weakness when studying. Straighten your back and walk with confidence."

That way, already decided, they will all go to rescue the abductees.

"Your majesty, why are witches weak?"

Bern asked while patting his shoulder as well. Zion hnaya was silent.

"That's because witches can't stand the pain. No one in the world wants to hold that back. So don't think about it. Just do it slowly."

Zion knows what Bern is doing. Bern tried to calm him down considering he groaned in pain. Bern knew that he also felt himself weak and a burden. The grip of his hand on his magic wand strengthened.

'He won't overdo it, right. Young people should not overdo it and hurt themselves.'

But Bern just said it so that Zion wouldn't have to overdo it considering she was young and to endure pain like her, she couldn't let it go.

"You can just sit in the back if you can't hold it."

Bern walked forward unable to see Zion's dissatisfied eyes.

'What is the point of you saying that when you suffer the most?'

Zion is filled with burning determination.

That way, they re-entered the walls filled with demonic beasts.

Only rain and darkness accompanied them.
