From No Body To Hero
Episode 22

Tang! Tang! Tang!

Bern continued to fling his sword even if he could not see the apapon in front of him.

Many trees were slashed near where he was wielding a sword. Bern could only detect it with his killing aura.

"Bern, where is he!? Let me help!"

Kleio got off his horse and approached Bern.

"Don't know. I just focused on killing her aura."

Kleio was silent for a moment. The aura of killing him was extremely hidden and even Kleio who could day-to-day sense a killing aura did not feel anything.

Steven also felt strange. Why would only Bern be able to sense that extremely hidden killing aura.

"Did he come after you?"

Bern shook his head at the sign of his ignorance.

"Your Majesty, please stay away a little."

Kleio was confused yet still moved far away. Kleio was sure, that little distance should be the distance between his life and death if it had to do with Bern.

"You want to play with a killing aura? Let's see whose aura is stronger."

From earlier, Bern was pressed with killing intent as if asking him to show his killing intent. He was aware of that when Kleio said that

The killing aura that Bern unleashed to kill that low level 9 demon must have attracted his interest.

Bern closed his eyes for a while and no one could move his body. The extremely gripping aura was more than the bluffing magic he had once demonstrated in class.

Even the low-grade level 1 demon came to a halt instantly with Bern's aura then moved towards him after receiving a sense of a dangerous threat.

Everyone glanced at Bern from their eyes. The aura of killing Bern was not like it belonged to a 16-year-old boy.

Bern closed his eyes again removing his aura. Even so, the horror is still there.

"I think this is enough to prove I deserve to see your figure."

As Bern said, the demonic figure was visible. The devil who wears a black robe with one of his hands is in the shape of a large sword. There was a strange chain around his neck as well.

The chain is one-eye shaped and many gems are hanging below which look luxurious.

[Поздравления мне]

The devil was trying to say something. But no one there can understand it. Even Bern frowned because his voice sounded like a creepy whisper.

A low level 1 demon attacked him from behind and Bern jumped to avoid him.

Attacks from demons that look like death angels from urban lagents are famous for attacking him as well. Bern avoided it in the air.

The demons just attacked him.

"Well...."

Bern sighed and thought it would just be a comfortable ride. Although something bad happened, the knights from the palace were able to help. Who knew that they would also freeze from his killing aura.

"Let's start the real fight."

Although it weighed on him, he could not see his side getting hurt. Maybe the people around him look like a burden on Bern, Bern can only be strong with people to protect. And that's how he died.

Bern closed his eyes and opened them. Everyone can't say what's changed there.

Tang!

Bern's sword collided again. But the clanking sound was getting stronger and deafening the ears who heard it.

Aaaawwooooo!

The low level 1 demon roars strongly making a move. However Bern as if deaf just dodged it and attacked.

Tang! Tang! Tang!

What Bern did in 20 minutes everyone froze because his killing aura was just dodging and attacking.

But everyone could see how good Bern was when it came to fighting. As if fighting was his own life.

Maybe he felt guilty because everyone was frozen. The power of his killing aura could be said to be eating master since all sides would not be able to move if they were not strong enough.

Bern's eyes slightly widened and took out the magic wand on his back. Everyone was at a loss to see Bern making a magic circle under their feet.

"[Shield.]"

Shields were formed above them.

Tang! Tang! Tang!

Then the magic arrow out of nowhere attacked. Blood wanted to come out of Bern's mouth but was swallowed back. From physical actions, using mana weighed more on him when there was demonic poison lodged in his body.

Steven sensed that he could already move as well as some of the palace knights who were on the same level as him.

"Boss, pull my shield!"

Bern listened to him and pulled the shield around Steven. Just missing the shield, Steven instantly moved his greatsword slashing the magic arrow.

"Pull our shields too. It's a shame to protect a child."

The chief knight of the kingdom said that and Bern pulled it too. The less people to protect, the less burden on his body.

"Don't lose to a child! Pull your weapons!"

The knight chief decisively had the other knights attack. Although they were still afraid of the strength of the two demons, they had to fight as well! How would the royal knights want to be a light to the citizens if they were so easy to give up?

They all repelled all the arrows and felt their hands numb due to the power of the arrows.

"Well, that kid really wasn't playing with his power to withstand all these attacks alone."

A knight was amazed by that. The royal witches could also move. Bern was not told to release the shield around them. Think of it as a reply because from the beginning it continues to be underestimated because it does not ride a flying sweeper.

After all they had to fight with their knights. Won't they just be protected and get names without effort? Bern doesn't like people like that.

Well, he could ignore it if it was a child under the age of 20.

[Поздравления мне]

Bern frowned when he heard the same tone again from the grim reaper demon.

'What is he trying to say?'

Bern started moving his brain. He focused the mana in his eyes and saw the fine thread between the two demons.

'In control? Did he ask for help?'

Bern looked at Steven. He moved normally as if just fighting and finally their backs hit each other.

Steven flinched then nodded and continued to disappear with his assassin ability.

And before long, everyone could move again. Bern can't protect them all any longer.

"Sir, my shield won't last much longer. Have the royal witches do their job."

Bern asked the chief knight because if he did, he would just be taunted back.

The knight chief whose stage of responsibility was half of Bern's must have agreed to it. Someone who really understands the burden of life is the person Bern likes the most. He and the knight chief could be close friends if he was in his former world.

"Wizards open your shields! Don't embarrass us just because you can't do what little kids can do! Even a child knows better how to hurt himself for others! How can you mock a child this good! You guys don't even deserve to be his shoes!"

The knight chief was right to mock the witches. She had been quiet all this time because Bern was also silent and made it look like she was deaf. Also all the repotations of Bern are on the rumor going around. Because Bern refused to accept a reward for his actions that made the knight chief doubt him.

Everyone wants to know the world. He was also among the people who wanted to earn medals and levels within the noble world.

But Bern who accepted the opportunity continued to resist. It was as if he did not want to be attached to the job.

"Greetings Duke."

He recalled seeing Duke Zeke fresh out of the study Kleio look rather disappointed.

"Oh you, Niel. What about your day?"

Niel nodded at the question.

"If I get sick, I won't be here to be a burden. Sir, why do you look disappointed?"

Duke Zeke sighed.

"I came to give a gift to that boy named Bern. He turned down the medal twice in a row and even rejected my prize because he said he wasn't worthy. If he's not worthy, what am I? I can't even protect my territory."

Neil thinks it's just a rumor he saved Duke Zeke's territory. But he seems to be doing something great.

He could not deny it anymore if the rumors were true. He who was a knight who was close to reaching the middle level of a sword master could stiffly not move 20 minutes just because of the killing aura of the child. What's more, he protected all those who underestimated him, mocked him or even abused him. He did not distinguish who he would protect while it was on the same side. Just as he had said at the banquet of delivering gifts to those who fought to save Duke Zeke's territory.

"Master, can I get your name?"

Bern asked and Neil gasped for a moment.

"Neill."

Bern nodded hearing that.

"Master Niel, you will become a great knight in the future. Even if one day we become enemies, you will be the person I admire."

Niel was a bit confused by that. What happened to the kid's thinking?

"People who know the weight of life's burden are people I admire. No matter which side they are on. I might try to let you go if you become an enemy."

Niel is confused. If they were enemies, it was certain that they would have to behead their opponents.

Kleio, Anton and Ailen come out of the shield of the witch who belittles Bern. They don't need protection from an aviary like they do.

"Neil, you have to understand, between you and him, that sense of responsibility for life is only 50 of Bern's."

Niel's eyes widened. Only half? After all the sense of responsibility he brought? And that's only half?

Ailen approached Bern and pressed down on his stomach with a soft sword hilt. The stomach was already Bern's sensitive area and with that gentle touch, Bern couldn't hold it.

"Ohuk!"

Bern bathed in blood and stared intently at Ailen. Niel couldn't help but be surprised to see that.

"Bern, you better take a break."

Niel tried to grab Bern. But Bern nimbly refused to be forced to retreat just because of his condition.

"Do you want me to be quiet when this situation can be a life-and-death situation? The reason you're still unscathed is because I stopped the robed demon's first steps."

It was true that Bern really refused to back down.It would be a nightmare if he did not stop the first attack as well as make the shield save everyone from that magic arrow.

"Boss, just as you expected. This is kene mengena with Satan's organization. They were 5 people. 4 assassin classes and 1 witch and were hidden 4 assassins."

Steven approached saying that and Bern nodded at it.

"If you want me to help you, tell me how. I can't understand you at all."

Bern asked the black-robed demon again.

[Убить темного мага]

He's making a sound again. But no one understands it.

"Don't use stupid demon language! How do we understand!?"

Anton was frustrated, though, not knowing what the situation was.

Suddenly the demon disappeared again like in the beginning.

"You take care of that 1st class demon."

Bern quickly moved again to resist the attack of the black cloak demon.

A low grade 1 demon that moved like a spider but had long claws, sharp teeth and was skinned like a human. It was a very horrible creature.

Tang!

His hard skin could not be slashed with a sword.

"What is this creature!? Low grade level 1? Where possible! Is this high class!"

Anton shouted in frustration as his spear did not even pierce through the pale skin that looked like it would shatter without anyone touching it.

'What to do now?'
