Life Howling Chapter 34

I began using healing skills as I was trying to run towards Yoon-Ji. It did heal, but as I was making progress, so was he. 

d.a.m.n! He’s already there..

Boooong!

Kw.a.n.g!

“Uwahhk!”

When the Long Sword bounced off, and Yoon-Ji made actions telling me to run away... there was someone large like Sung-Jin standing between us.

It all happened instantly. Sung-Jin managed to block his Long Sword with the s.h.i.+eld, but he didn’t have his arm broken, it was completely cut off and ended up having the sword imbedded in his arm.

Blood was everywhere. So was the screaming.

I clenched down on my teeth as I saw his arm get sliced off.

G.o.d d.a.m.n it!

f.u.c.king s.h.i.+t!

“Sung-Jin! G.o.d d.a.m.n it! Ahhh!”

I could see Sung-Hwan screaming while running towards him. Between me and the Undead Knight, there was only about 10 steps.

I used Basic Heal on his body.

Hwahhhk!

That’s when it happened. I could see sparks coming from his shattered skull. It was Hye-Won who created the fire. 

The Undead Knight grabbed his head and made a screeching sound.

-KEEYAHHHHH!

How could I explain that sound? It was something that sent chills down my spine. Something that I never wish to hear again. 

As that screech spread out the room, Sung-Hwan took few steps back in fear. But, I ran forward because I knew that the best time to attack is when the enemy is distraught.

The pain in my ribs have almost faded and the my arm is completely head.

“Die!”

I struck down my mace on his head in full force while holding it with two hands. It lit up like a star and fell down like a meteorite on his head.

Boom!

His skull splits in one hit and blue sparks were igniting between the cracks. Hrrrrh!

He begins fidgeting from the fire burning its way through him.

Kw.a.n.g!

I kicked his waist to push him down the the ground, so I could keep smas.h.i.+ng his head in with my mace.

Kw.a.n.g! Kw.a.n.g! Kw.a.n.g!

Kwazik!

His skull was completely smashed. There were debris flying around the air while the fire kept burning, eating away at him. 

The Undead Knight stopped moving. 

Is he finished?

Sigh.

I let out a big sigh and looked to my side. I could see Sung-Jin staring at his recently sliced off arm in horror and despair. 

“Euhkk….”

He couldn’t scream. He was just grunting very softly. 

I took his arm back to him. Judging by how clean it was cut, it should be more than possible to put it back on it… but like I know anything.

Why don’t I try sticking it on him. I’ll just have to pray for the best and see what happens. So, I placed his arm back to its original place and thought to myself.

“Eugh….”

I stuck my hand out as I heard his soft grunt.

Divine Power.

The miracle I can make through the borrowed Power from G.o.d.

“Basic Heal.”

Pahht.

A light appeared, and in that split moment his arm stuck back to his body like it’s never been cut of.

It’s working! but...I need to make sure that it’s completely on.

The skill itself was called “Basic.” I was still far from having it like it was before. There could even be some side effects to this.

“Basic Heal.”

Lights flashed.

I used the Basic Heal skill about 5 times. Although the wounds on his shoulder had healed completely, his face was still pale as snow.

“Basic Recovery.”

Pahhht.

His face was returning back to morrow. His wounds are healed and his stamina recovered, but my Divine Power was almost depleted.

I could feel fatigue creeping up on me by the second. I let a sigh from the unbeatable feeling of being tired even though I couldn’t be happier that I had saved him.

“You alright?”

“I am. T, thank you.”

He’s still in shock from everything that’s happened. Who could blame him?

“You did good. It’s only right that a man protects a woman. Yoon-Ji, aren’t you going to thank him?”

“Of course, I am. You’re Sung-Jin, right? Thank you so much.”

Yoon-Ji came over to where we were. She sat down right next to us, and I caught Sung-Jin staring at her cleavage with his teenage eyes.

This fool…he almost life his life just now and he’s already thinking about something else. 

I got myself back up and looked around for the Undead Knight. Most of his head had been crushed in, but his neck still had few sparks still flaming.

Whew... so, we got him…

“Everyone okay?”

“Yes, I’m good.”

Yoon-Ji answered. I turned my head to look at Hye-Won. She nodded in response. I moved onto Sung-Jin. He was fine as well.

“Hey, try squeezing your hand.”

“Huh? Ah… okay.”

I was moving his recently attached arm around a few times. He smiled.

“It’s a bit sore, but I think it’s okay.”

“That’s good to hear because I don’t think we’re finished…”

“Kuk!”

I heard someone force out a pocket of hair out of their lungs. When I turned my head to see what happened, I saw something horrible and unimaginable.

The high schooler named Kim Sung-Hwan, had a sword sticking out of his chest. He had been stabbed from the back and it came out through the front.

“Ueh….ah…”

Behind him, I could see the faceless Undead Knight getting back up slowly.

The sword was pulled out of Sung-Hwan’s body. There was blood gus.h.i.+ng everywhere. 

Yoon-Ji, Hye-Won, Sung-Jin, and I…all we could do was stare in shock.

He’s dead.

Someone just died.

“That motherf.u.c.ker…”

I clenched my jaw in anger. I was so angry I could feel all the blood in my body rus.h.i.+ng to my head. Without thinking twice, my body was already launched forward.

There’s nowhere to run to now. Unless we defeat this guy, we can’t go home. We can’t make it out of here alive until he’s dead. We need to kill him before he kills us. We need to remove his armor and smash his bones to pieces.

“Uwahhhh!”

Kw.a.n.g!

I struck his arm with my Divine Power infused mace.
