Chapter 10: Kidnapping (4)

He could not spend the night like this. The ghouls waved their hands in an attempt to knock over his torch. It also looked like they were going to attack him at any moment.

He prepared to leave, because the ghouls had destroyed the back of the hut, which was where the light from the torch could not reach. He tucked the torch under his arm and used his cloak to protect himself from the rain.

But he could see no breach.

Thats when it happened.

BOOM!!

There was a shockwave over the hills to the northwest. Soon, a pillar of white light shot into the sky. The ghouls were dismayed to see this.

The ghouls did not attack him because of the torch, but followed him without stopping. They ran so fast that he could not evade forever.

As he climbed to the top of the hill, he looked up at the epicenter of the light.

What the hell?

There was a huge crater. And in the center was a huge meteorite half buried.

!

Inside the meteorite was a glowing sword. The pillar of light surrounding the sword reached into the sky.

A sword?

He ran as fast as he could towards the center of the crater.

The ghouls were as close to him as before, but they didnt try to catch him. They seemed afraid of the light around his sword.

Before he knew it, the dozens of ghouls had swelled to hundreds in the chaos. They moved somewhat cautiously into the crater. The ghouls slowly surrounded him, like a predator preparing to pounce on its prey.

He felt like his heart was going to burst.

As he approached the sword, the pillar of light trembled even more.

He had no choice but to wield the sword. He gulped.

He reached into the pillar of light to grab the sword. Then he pulled it upward.

It did not have the weight of a metal sword. It had the shape of a long, thin sword. He could hold it with one hand, although it looked like he needed both.

The sword was made of light. He could not believe it.

The pillar of light stretching up to the sky gradually began to disappear.

The ghouls around him roared loudly.

As he was beside himself, a ghoul slashed him in the side with its nails.

He felt such terrible pain that he gritted his teeth.

He thrust the sword into the mouth of the ghoul that had attacked him.

He clutched his side with his left hand. Blood flowed like water.

He was about to lose consciousness due to the bleeding.

Thats when it happened.

Boom!

There was an explosion in the corner of the crater. His ears were deafened. All the ghouls attention was drawn to the explosion.

The place where the explosion had occurred was engulfed in flames. All around were the remains of the ghouls that had been torn apart by the explosion.

And among the flames was a silhouette.

He wondered if he was seeing a ghost.

He focused his eyes again. It was not a ghost. The silhouette became clearer as the fire disappeared. The silhouette belonged to a person.

When the black smoke dissipated, the figure of the woman appeared.

She wore a large pointed hat over her dark red hair that reached her waist. She was a tall woman in a black dress that showed one of her thighs.

A small ball of fire hovered over the womans hand.

The woman tossed the ball aside as if it were nothing.

A whirlpool of fire formed where the ball had fallen.

The woman moved her hand slowly.

At that moment, the huge whirlpool swept through the crater, sweeping away the ghouls that looked like a swarm of ants. The situation looked like chaos.

The scene was so overwhelming that it was like watching a natural disaster. He could not believe that such transcendental power could come from one person.

He didnt know how it happened, but he had been saved.

He sat down on the ground. The sword he held in his hand gradually lost its light until it disappeared. He could no longer remain conscious.

He fainted. His head hit the ground.
