From No Body To Hero
Episode 12's

After Bern left, Anton tore off his clothes and bandaged his shoulders for first aid. Zion also spewed out all the blood that wanted to come out.

Zion finished throwing up and went to the iron bars that were trapping the people inside.

He opened the lock and the iron bars opened easily. But no one wants to go out. Their faces were full of fear.

Zion's feeling weird. But he just thought that they were still afraid of what was happening.

Anton, who was ready to wrap his shoulders, turned towards Zion. Eyes widened.

"Your majesty!!!"

Zion heard that and looked. A man with muscles and a huge sword on his back stood behind him.

Zion's eyes also widened.

Tukd.

But his eyes immediately blurred and fainted after his nape was hit with empty hands.

"Damn!"

Anton took the spear.

'I should at least give 1 punch!'

He knows he won't win. But he could not stand still when the enemy was ahead.

"Aaaaarr!!!!!"

The man scratched the back of his head. He clenched his right hand.

Buk up!

kreeks...

"Aarggk"

Anton instantly lost consciousness in 1 stroke. The sound of cracks was also heard when that huge fist hit him. One or two of his ribs must have been broken.

"Ah, is it too strong?"

The man scratched the back of his head again. He also wore a black robe with a devil skull emblem as well.

****

Lewis followed Ailen from branch to branch while hiding his presence as it was in Bern's direction.

Chang, Chang, Chang.

The sound of water splashing was strong enough to indicate Ailen was not trying to hide his whereabouts.

Ailen was running on the wet ground with incredible speed. His hand gripping tightly the sword slashed at all the objects blocking his path.

Swing!

Ailen curled her body backwards dodging the sword that flew towards her.

Tukd.

The sword was stuck in a tree and Ailen rolled on the mud because he lost his balance. The man with an ordinary face in the black robe of the devil skull emblem emerged from the darkness and drew his sword then looked at Ailen.

"You guys are quite geniuses. Choosing when our group is not here to attack head-on, is well worth praising."

Ailen frowned. The ground is slippery and difficult to defend his horse.

Tang!

The man deflected the arrow easily with his sword. Lewis moves to another branch to continue hiding his whereabouts. As an archer, getting caught is their chackmate if in a group battle.

Ailen did not miss the gap given Lewis, directly attacking forward.

Klang's! Klang's! Tang! Tang! Swing! The swish!

The deafening sound of clashing iron continued to adorn the area.

But Ailen knew, the person in front of him did not use his full strength.

'He underestimated me!'

Ailen doesn't like to be underestimated. Lewis can only continue to change positions even though his legs are numb because they continue to move. He's not an assassin class to move still. It drains his energy so much.

Klang's! Klang's! Klang's!

"God."

The man snorted. A dark aura started to appear in his hand and permeated into his sword as if it was an oura. But Ailen knew it wasn't oura.

'Demon energy!'

Ailen was bluffing her teeth. His eyebrows are getting wrinkled as time goes on.

"Let's end this."

Ailen steadied his footing again and tried his best to deliver a blow.

Swing!

Ailen's eyes widened.

'My sword....'

His sword was cut into 2 pieces easily. The man smiled and raised his sword again.

'No....'

Rigid Ailen body. His sword which was now only a little blade left would not be able to withstand it.

Chong!

One arrow shot up against the back shoulder of the raised hand. The man's face turned cold.

Lewis took 3 arrows in place on the bow strings.

The man bluffing his teeth pulled the arrow out of his flesh.

Ailen did not spare the opportunity and began to attack.

'I can't fall yet!'

Ailen kicked the ground and his leg tried to kick the man's head. But the man quickly blocked the kick with his arm.

The man's hand wanted to grasp Ailen's foot that could not dodge in the air.

Swish...

The sound of wind crashing the man's hand made his palm scratched.

Tukd.

Ailen looked in which direction something sounded. It was a dagger. The dagger quickly disappeared even though no one approached it.

"Tsk."

The man clicked his tongue and the demonic anergy that looked like the black-colored sword master oura became even stronger.

Ailen quickly felt danger and stepped back. But not yet, Ailen regarding the attack.

"Uuuuggg!!!

His sword did not touch him at all. But it sliced his left thigh very deeply. The incision was so deep that his bones might be visible if he didn't bleed. Ailen could only groan in pain even though she tried to hold back her moans.

The man raised his hand again.

3 arrows hit him. However, they were unable to reach it when the dark aura cut Lewis' arrow into ashes. Lewis was bluffing his teeth.

Uen quickly appeared and kicked Ailen away from where he stood 5 meters away and hit the tree immediately.

The man's sword moved and Uen intended to hold it back with a dagger. But his dagger shattered into pieces regarding the sword with that dark energy.

Uen's brows furrowed and the man kicked him into the tree.

"Ohuk!"

Uen coughed up blood with that blow. The tree he had broken was cracked and his spine must have shifted by it. His ribs should not be asked about his condition either. He can only groan in silence.

The man walked up to Uen and Lewis became anxious. Ailen also tried to get up but failed because his leg was too sore.

'Arrow to the sky if need help.'

Lewis remembered the word Bern. So he took out his last arrow and used a bit of mana to make it slightly bright and shot it into the sky.

He can only hope. Then he went down and stood in front of Uen with a bow towards the man.

"Basic fool!"

Ailen and Uen shouted curses at the same time. But they could only see because they were also in a mess. Lewis is ready to accept the consequences of his actions.

'Being a meat shield is also okay.'

Lewis knows he's weak. So that's why he's fine with being a meat shield. At least he's useful.

The man was bluffing his teeth when recalling the arrow that pierced his shoulder.

Buk up!

Lewis was kicked and immediately fell to the ground and his bow floated away somewhere. He doesn't care either.

The man pulled his right arm and stepped on Lewis' back.

Kraack!

"Aaaar!!!"

Lewis couldn't help but yell when his hand was broken just like that. Tears flow to endure the pain.

The man let go of his arm like he was satisfied and kicked him to hit the tree as well.

"Ohuk!"

Lewis also battered blood because of that. It felt as if his ribs were broken and his internal organs were spinning around indistinctly after that kick.

His sword was raised again and wanted to get rid of Lewis who had injured his shoulder.

Swing!

However his steps came to a halt as the sword hilt with a bit of blade left flew towards him scraping his cheek.

"Where are you looking?"

Ailen said that in a mocking tone. But he's really dead-end now. He has no weapons or can move.

The man was bluffing his teeth dissatisfied with them. After 1 appears 1. Really frustrating.

The man no longer cared and kept wanting to stab Lewis.

They all closed their eyes unable to know what happened after that.

"[Shield]"

Tang!

2 a plain circle bright enough to illuminate the area appeared under Lewis and blocked the sword from wounding him. Bern picked up the bow lying on the ground and immediately stood in front of Lewis and drew his shield spell back.

Lewis opened his eyes to look at Bern's back. From the beginning, they all relied on him. Somehow, with Bern coming, they felt calmer.

Bern looked around that no one could fight or even wake up again. The iron taste in his mouth also did not stop to give him a breath.

The man began to get frustrated again and drew his sword. Bern dodged the attack as if he was water that could not be cut.

He dodged accurately and agilely as if he was fine. But his eyes were blurred and only moved based on sound and instinct.

Bern took out a fragment of the dagger that was on the ground and broke off one side of Lewis's bowstring.

The three of them could only watch even if they wanted to help. Their bodies were stiff like they were ice puppets.

The sword was once again unsheathed and Bern leaped high and stepped on the hand that was holding the sword then jumped again.

Using a bowstring directly strangled him, kicking him behind the knee made him fall to the ground and use the end of the bow body whose rope was severed to stab his injured shoulder.

"Ugh..."

The man was out of breath. Bern did not stop. They all felt this at last and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Can you stop?"

But a voice came from within the darkness. A 2-meter-tall large man while holding an unconscious Zion with a knife around her neck.

Uen gritted his teeth and wanted to wake up despite the pain.

"Damn! Let go of my sister!"

Uen struggled helplessly.

"Silent. I'm here to bargain. Leap the damn thing and I'll let go of this cute kid."

How could they possibly want to do that? However Bern could sense the powerful mana around him. That bunch of demon skulls must have come back.

No one can fight anymore either.

It's their defeat. Losing is losing. Nothing can change that. But Bern could not accept the offer easily.

"Give us the magic potion and I'll let him go."

Magic potions were potions that could instantly heal all kinds of pain other than death if it was a high level potion like a potion. But a medium low level potion was enough for all of them.

"Use the promise of death."

The promise of death is a short-term covenant in which in 24 hours, if they do not keep the promise, they will die.

"Mnn... That's kinda hard."

The man had such a hard time accepting that. How could he possibly accept the thing that made his side instantly lose?

"Sure, you can exclude me."

The three of them gasped at hearing that and looked at Bern in disbelief.

The man's lips carved a smile and their eyes met.

"All right."

The man's voice was not depressed at all. He seemed pleased with Bern's reply.
