Chereads / The Ghoul king of Yonaka / Chapter 3 - The heated situation

Chapter 3 - The heated situation

Kenchi awakes in a room of straw.

What happened?

You blacked out and we brought you here to recover.

Huh?

Kenchi looked up and saw two guards with a old man in the middle of them.

Oh, sorry I'm Subaru the chief of this village.

(Appraise. He's a lesser dragon-kin, weird).

I hope you don't mind the guards. They are just security. Do you want something to eat?

No thanks. Do you guys have a blacksmith?

No, he died during a attack on our village, the spears we use are all that's left of him.

(If there's no blacksmith, how can I get a sword? I have no other choice but to find another village). Thanks for your hospitality but I have to go now.

Kenchi attempts to get up but his body went limp.

I advise you to stay for the night and you can go in the morning, if that's okay with you.

I have no other choice.

I accept your offer.

Great. goodnight then.

The chief left the room.

I earned seven levels from my last fight. I'll put all my points in mana. My mana regeneration is two hundred per hour.

Kenchi slowly drifted off to sleep.

Next morning...

Kenchi is abruptly awaken by loud cries.

Huh, what's going on?

Without a second thought he rushed outside.

Everything's on fire, how?

He looked around and saw the dragon folk trying to fight the intruders.

(Appraise). Hellhounds magic: fire.

He ran toward the pack of Hellhound and released a barrage of blood. The hounds retreated before the attack reached.

Now that the threat was gone, the villager could focus on putting the fire out.

Thank you for scaring the hounds away.

Kenchi turned and saw the village chief.

It was nothing, but I doubt they'll be gone for good.

That was blood magic you used, wasn't it?

Yes.

I know this seems selfish of me but could you get rid of the hounds for good? I'll pay you, fifty silver.

I don't want money, but I'll still help you and I will help you rebuild your village.

You mean you'll do it for free? Thank you.

There's one thing I want to know. You are dragons right?

Yes, but how do you know?

Don't worry about it, what I want to know is why your guards don't use magic?

Well, we were born without magic and were deemed outcasts exiled from our home. So we created our own homes, in the surrounding

jungle there are other villages of dragon folk. We haven't really seen eye to eye lately so they refuse to send help.

hey guys there has been a little delay on chapter four but it will be available on Tuesday 17th January, 2023.
