Became the Academy’s Munchkin Power Priest - Became the Academy’s Munchkin Power Priest chapter 39

39 – Hunter’s Hunger

Echina was not in good shape.

The part hit by the arrow recovered with divine power, but she still couldn’t open her eyes.

Along with excessive bleeding, she was physically exhausted, and her recovery was delayed due to mental damage.

Chloe lay down on the bed next to her and waited for Echinace to open her eyes. Cloah had no trauma that would jeopardize her life, and she was resting with a brief healing.

“Are you all right?”

“The wound has healed, but…. I think she needs to watch more. What happened?”

Thesia asked calmly, maintaining her composure.

More than anything else, she wanted to ask where Gran was.

In fact, to Thesia, Echinan was not much different from her soldier who returned wounded. Of course, as her saintess, she hoped that Echina would open her eyes after her recovery, but more importantly, she was Gran.

Chloe explained what happened in the village. Exorcism and villagers, the Great Devil and the Demon World’s army.

“Thank you for telling me. Then rest.”

Tesia stood up after stroking the back of her hand.

Tesia’s face was as calm as usual, but her heart was not. She felt dizzy and her heart pounded as if she was about to collapse.

“Stand up, saintess!”

“Do you have anything to say?”

“Please take me with you.”

Chloe said as she got down from the bed.

Tessia stared at Chloe for a moment.

She lived and died in the village. She said she had not been able to rest for a long time and that this was her first exorcism.

She would be tired enough to lie in bed and sleep all day. Even so, she wanted to go to the village together without a break.

She hadn’t spoken a few words, and I didn’t know what kind of person she was, but it was clear that she was a valuable ally to Gran.

That’s why she couldn’t take her with her anymore.

“You are resting here. Leave the rest to us.”

“I can help….”

“No. Please stay here and take care of Echina-sama. And if we leave, there won’t be many priests left here, so I’ll ask you a favor.”

Chloe looked at her Echinacea and nodded her head.

“Please save Gran-sama….”

Tessia got out of the clinic.

The soldiers moved busily.

There were not many of them. From the beginning, the frontlines lacked manpower. There were many cases of death or injury when there was a gap.

Most of the jobs guarding the frontline were paladins and priests. In the past, most of the professions such as knights and wizards who guarded the front line were mobilized in the war against the kingdom.

Reinforcement was less than casualties, and the length of the front was so long that the reinforcements were scattered.

Anyway, the number of soldiers gathered to save Gran was about 150.

About 100 Paladins gathered. About 30 priests gathered, and the rest of the wizards and knights were about 20 people.

Tessia set off for the village right away.

Actually, it was a reckless decision. According to Chloe, the number of enemies was incalculable. I couldn’t help but wait for Gran to escape from the group of demons.

Moreover, if the village faced the Pandemonium’s army, a great battle would be unavoidable.

Still, he couldn’t stop. First, Demon Hunter Gran requested support, and the demonic army invaded the realm.

The complexion of the soldiers was dark.

The soldiers heading to the village were all skilled soldiers. He was a veteran among veterans who fought fiercely and survived, so he knew how dangerous the current situation was.

I fought several battles with the Demon World several times a day. Most of them were small battles. A few people get injured, and sometimes a few die. It was rare for demonic forces to invade the realm.

Thesia and her soldiers moved diligently.

I couldn’t run or rest. He had to leave his stamina until he encountered the enemy, but he couldn’t go on leisurely.

The march was faster than ever, but Tessia’s heart burned.

He finally arrived at the forest.

The village was not far. Before he had time to catch his breath, he marched into the woods.

The soldiers moved in a wide formation. It was to inspect the forest area.

The leading officer raised his hand and signaled to stop.

The soldiers behind him sent hand signals together.

The official looked at the village with wide eyes. Then, Tescia moved to his side and watched the town together. She dilated as if her pupils were about to burst.

The first thing that caught my eye was that I couldn’t find Gran.

However, it was known that a battle had taken place here. No, Tescia couldn’t figure out which word to choose. Whether it is the site of a battle or the site of a massacre.

The village was dyed red. A fishy smell stung the tip of the nose, and shattered corpses were strewn about.

Buildings in the village were broken in places, and no intact building could be seen.

I couldn’t see Gran among the corpses of demons. She looked for Gran, rolling her eyes.

“Saint?”

The saintess came to her senses at the voice of the executive and shook her head.

“It’s quiet…. Divide your troops and look around the village. Let’s avoid battle and gather in the village.”

The officer nodded and gave an order to the soldiers following him.

Tessia headed for the village. I couldn’t feel her presence. There were no demons who were injured. Either the torso was split in two, or the head was missing.

“Gran said everything was like this… ?”

She knew Gran was extraordinarily strong, but she didn’t expect it to be this strong. Because he not only fought against the demonic army, but also dealt with the great devil alone.

Tesia formed a party with a hero and traveled around the world, dealing with various demons and demonic armies. So I could see how absurd the sight before her eyes was. She finally realized the level of Gran’s skill.

The village was littered with dead bodies. A corner of her heart throbbed whenever she saw her tightly stretched corpse.

She looked at the corpses in the village. She didn’t see Gran.

The soldiers who were watching the area began to return one by one. However, no one found Gran.

‘Where is he? .’

“Holy Lady!”

A soldier in the forest called her saintess. When she went there, among the scattered corpses, Gran’s cane was found.

***

Clock!

Her eyes opened in a convulsion as if something was swinging her.

I am not dead. His physical condition was at its worst. His whole body was stained with blood. I was even more hungry than that. Fortunately, while he was captured here, his divine power was slightly restored. At least to the extent that the body can be restored.

As soon as I opened my eyes, the wounds began to heal. The pain wasn’t great, but the hunger was unbearable. She didn’t eat anything and wielded a 100-kilogram staff all day, so it was only natural that she would feel unbearably hungry.

The outcome of the battle is not yet over. I was caught somewhere by them, but it was their mistake. Because I didn’t end my life right away.

The devils came incessantly. Even so, even though it was possible for them to kill me with their power, I couldn’t catch them.

However, when the black magicians suddenly appeared out of nowhere and supported him, his stamina dropped sharply. Eventually, I lost consciousness, and when I opened my eyes, I was here.

My hands were tied to the ceiling and my ankles were shackled.

It was dark all around, but the air was cold and damp. When I felt it on my skin, it felt like a dungeon.

Steel poke iron poke.

Someone came towards me.

“hehehe, demon hunter. It looks like you opened your eyes.”

“You must be a warlock. Where is this place?”

“You don’t need to know where this place is. If you want to live, you had better obey my words.”

His skin was rotten and cracked. The black magician gave off an unpleasant smell, like rotting protein.

The warlock caressed my abdomen.

“Hey, you better get rid of those dirty hands.”

“Keukkeukkeuk. I bet you know that too. That I was cursed. Change your attitude if you want to live. I like your body.”

I needed to think about what I meant for a while.

There was no curse hanging over my body. It seemed too sincere to be just a scare comment.

“Do you have any rice? I swung my cane and I was hungry. Oh, your hands are so dirty, ask someone else to get them for you.”

As if my words were offended, he clumsily pinched my stomach.

“Keukkeukkeuk! Feel so good. I’ll enjoy playing with it until the interrogation begins.”

The warlock touched my thigh and said.

“Didn’t I tell you to put your hands away?”

“Keuk kuk, yes! Be more angry!”

“Good.”

Kaaang!

I broke the shackles on my right hand and grabbed the warlock by the neck and lifted him up.

“Keah heh heh heh!”

Pude deudeuk!

As his neck bones were broken, the warlock’s body limp. He was still alive I can’t use my limbs anymore.

“How is it? I feel like I’m tied down. I can’t stand being hungry any longer.”

Kaaang!

I broke all the shackles.
