Last Hero
Chapter 36: Stepping Into the South

Arriving at the border we gave a letter of introduction written by Claudia, at first they indeed refused to open the way to someone but to us they agreed to do so.

"We allow you to pass but not for you."

"Why could that be so, please my family has been waiting for my return even the villagers too."

"In the southern region many monsters appear we don't know what happened, it could have been your family killed or maybe you will die on the way."

What this guard said was not something cruel, he said everything logically considering how things were now.

"Then why can they?"

The man pointed towards us.

"They are recommended by the noble Viscount, they can take care of themselves whereas you are only a farmer."

I didn't want any commotion so I gave an opinion to resolve this matter.

"We'll drive him home, doesn't that matter?"

The guard scratched the back of his head as if hesitating to answer.

"That could be it but don't you mind?"

"We're not in a hurry," I said, and my party members looked fine about it.

"Then be well, open the gate!"

The gate opened and we started walking through it.

"My name is Tora, I'm sorry and thank you in advance."

"No problem."

We also introduced ourselves.

"So you guys want to go to the Abyss dungeon, isn't that a dangerous place?"

"There's something we have to do there."

I as much as possible did not mention the holy sword. Yue chop.

"So why did you end up in the North and have to go back to the south immediately?"

Although a little reluctant he still wanted to answer.

"Actually I only came to buy medicine for my village, the medicine itself was taken faster from the North but when I was about to return they just closed the gate, if I stay there longer no one knows what their fate is."

Noel and Kila showed caution.

"Someone's coming."

From behind a tree a large enough black wolf leaps at Tora, lucky Noel who sprightly appears to use his shield, then ends it through his sword.

"They are still many."

Fighting inside the forest is really not profitable for us.

"We'll run out of here, Yue and Marie please lead the way."

"Good."

Following my instructions everyone started running, I let them in front while I was at the very back making sure the wolves stayed away from us.

I threw the stone but it was purely from my strength.

Ever since I met Orifiel, I couldn't use my magic anymore.

That's all the magic I have.

I slashed down a few wolves then sheathed my sword to replace it with a punch that hit the ground, it created a crack forcing the wolves to go silent for a moment before returning to chase.

Howls began to sound to ensure that the entire pack of wolves would chase after us.

Before long I was able to find the end of our escape, just as I exited Yue used fire magic to create a gigantic wall so that the wolf pack chose to retreat just like that.

They don't want to take any chances against us in the empty area.

Tora looked surprised, the howls just now also came from the forest interior. I wonder how big it is to be able to produce such a loud sound.

Thinking about it is useless.

Tora complained.

"How come there are such monsters, I come here often but..."

Obviously if there wasn't us he'd be dead.

He checked his bag again and breathed a sigh of relief because nothing bad happened to the medicine.

The sooner we move the better, we don't want those wolves to show up at night.
