Chapter 628: Kron’s Emergency Situation

The circus group is on the move to another city from Mellian, while I was somewhere in Arturo. Although Fabio and the others have done well making sure that there are no more influence from the cult in the kingdom, there are still some places still heavily influenced heavily by the cult. And I’m going to eradicate them.

“These are the location of cities, villages, and settlements. There are still many cult members hiding there spreading their belief. I hope the living armor can take care of them,” Fabio said in his office. Toni is there as well. They showed me a map and marked some areas within the map. Those marked places are the location of where these two suspect to be influenced by the cult heavily even after they took back Arturo.

“Sure. You picked those places for me because you couldn’t find any evidence about their relation with the cult, right?” I asked.

“That’s right. But I know that because when I went there, I see some familiar faces. They are those that the fake king met when the kingdom was still under control by the cult,” the one answering me was Toni.

“Okay. I’ll take care of them. I can’t do everything in one day, but if it’s just a village or settlement, it should be easy to finish. I’ll inform you later the places I have purged and you will continue investigating the places I haven’t. Though if you want to continue your investigation even after I have purged them all, that’s fine,” I said before I leave using a portal to the closest city to one village from the map.

“Shall we split up?” Victoria asked me before we left the city we transported to.

“Yeah. You will go to-”

.....

Before I could give her the direction where to go to, Sonia suddenly appeared telling me of an emergency situation.

“Roy! Wendy and Kron are in trouble!” Sonia said.

Without hesitation, I opened a portal to where Wendy is. I can take care of the cult in Arturo later on. Or maybe I can just let Fabio take care of them himself. But I can’t let my own friends to be in danger. Saving Wendy and Kron comes first.

“What’s the emergency?” I asked.

I can see what they need me here to do. It’s obvious seeing that Kron lost one of his legs. And the enemies are wyverns. A large flock of wyverns are flying above us.

“One of those flying lizard bit my leg and ate it when I saved a hunter we brought to help us. There’s no healer here,” Kron said.

“Even if there’s a healer, only trained surgeons can reattach your leg back. Wendy, Victoria, protect Kron. I’ll go get his leg back,” I said as I jumped on Ray’s back.

“How? That thing ate my fucking leg!”

“Ate. But it didn’t chew your leg. For now, your leg is still fine. Stay conscious so you won’t die,” I said.

I can see that the biggest wyvern has a leg in its stomach. For now, it hasn’t been digested yet. They called Sonia as soon as Kron’s leg was eaten it seems.

For him who have reached expert level mage to get hurt this much can only mean one of two things. The enemies are stronger than expected, or the allies are stupider than expected.

I couldn’t see any hunter they brought here. They must have escaped. Maybe because they know that the enemies are wyvern, they brought only wind mages to have good mobility in the sky. And so, when it’s time to retreat, they will retreat as fast as they could.

It will be stupid of them if they returned back to Mellian. Though I think that’s the case. Once Kron and Wendy return to Mellian, they will face the truth that they left their comrade behind. And no hunter want to get close to such people. They will have to raise their reputation back if they want to continue being a hunter.

But that’s for later. I need to retrieve Kron’s leg back.

Riding on Ray’s back made me arrive at the biggest wyvern quickly. The wyvern didn’t even notice us coming until it’s too late. When it realizes that we’re there, I have already sliced his body in two while making sure Kron’s leg is fine.

“Victoria. Have some Blobbies absorb unwanted substances from Kron’s leg,” I said after I returned back with a leg in my hand.

“I’ll take care of the rest of the wyvern. You can bring him back for the operation,” Wendy said as she flies to the sky to face numerous wyvern alone.

Actually, just one of them is fine. Either Wendy or Kron. But from the report, there are too many wyverns here and it will take too long to get rid of them alone. So the two come together. And they will split up after getting rid of the wyvern. Wendy will go back together with the hunter party they brought, while Kron will continue eradicate other monsters’ nest.

But that won’t happen. Kron will have to need operation to reattach his leg back and he needs some rest. As for Wendy, she will return back to Mellian to give report. She will also tell the others about the situation via Sonia.

I opened a portal to Sophie’s location and told her that we need to reattach Kron’s limb back. Then we moved together to the hospital and the operation room is ready in no time.

Dismembered limbs is not common things to happen since most people used magic from distance. But it’s also not rare either. There have been a few operations conducted after I taught the doctors how to do it.

Still, many of the doctors who are free chose to watch my surgery on Kron. Though they won’t be able to see everything because I am too fast. Even Sophie can only watch.

“Alright. It’s done. Take him to his room. He will be hospitalized for a while. I’ll leave him to you, Sophie,” I said to Sophie.

“Sure. Is the quest they took dangerous?” Sophie asked.

“The monsters? Not so much. The idiots? Very much the same everywhere. I’ll ask Wendy after this for the detail,” I said.

I returned back to where Wendy was, and she now only has three wyverns left to kill. I don’t need to help her.

A few minutes later, I can see the wyverns are burnt to death. The smell was quite appetizing. Or maybe it’s just me being hungry. Wyvern’s meat doesn’t taste good after all.

“Good job, Wendy. What happened?” I asked Wendy after she finished subjugating the wyverns.

“Some idiots disobeyed our orders. Thinking that wyverns are actually weak. They tried to fight a wyvern and they failed to kill it. But they succeeded in angering the wyvern. Then all of a sudden, the biggest wyvern appear and about to eat one of the hunters whole. Kron was focused on other monsters and can’t use another magic, so he kicked the hunter and lost his leg. That’s basically what happened,” Wendy explained.

“That’s what I thought would happen. I guess taking stranger in the team is too much. I’ll go check on the others. You can go back to Mellian,” I said.

Wendy flew off toward Mellian. Those hunters won’t be able to show their faces in Mellian ever again.

I shouldn’t actually helped anyone here, but I’m worried because of what happened to Kron. So I left with Ray and Victoria while wearing full armor. I still need to act as a living armor.

The others are doing fine. Must be because they participated in the tournament. The fact that Kron and Wendy didn’t participate must be why those hunters dared to disobey them.

They could destroy the monster’s nest they are dispatched to easily. Though they took their time so the others can have a chance in fighting as well.

They must have learned what happened to Kron from Sonia. So after they finished taking care of the monster’s nest they are dispatched to, they ordered the hunters they brought to return back to Mellian.

They were supposed to go to another nest after clearing the first one. But because of Kron’s situation, they decided to return to Mellian and go back to clearing the nests tomorrow. That’s what Kayla told me.

They have destroyed the nearest nests of monsters while letting only very few monsters alive so the guild can still get some request. If it’s me though, I’ll just kill everything without a care.

After they all returned, I disguised myself and opened a portal to Mellian to see what happen to the hunters who disobeyed orders.

They were shocked to see Wendy is still alive after being surrounded by wyverns. Even more after Wendy said that a living armor managed to slice through a wyvern’s body to retrieve Kron’s leg so they could be reattached back. They were so ashamed to retreat and disobeying order after realizing that just Wendy alone is more than enough to destroy a nest full of wyvern by herself.

I don’t think none of them will dare to stay in Mellian. They must be thinking of leaving the city.

I also left the city and returned back to Arturo. I have some villages to stomp over.
