Chapter 16 - Blocked by a 1st Echelon Goblin Commander!

The corpse that Kael had just split into two immediately reconnected, as if there had been no wound or cut on its body.

Not even a second later, both of the wolves opened their eyes as they stood firmly, seemingly waiting for orders from Kael.

'It's a success.' Kael was delighted that it was a successful experiment again.

Naturally, Fenric noticed this since he always gave a little bit of his attention to Kael's side.

Sigh!

'Fortunately, he doesn't really have any malicious intentions.' Fenric sighed in relief as he realized that he wouldn't be a match for Kael.

Even though he had high physical stats, it wouldn't really matter if his opponent was Kael, since he could at least grind him to death slowly with his superior speed.

Let alone the fact that he had noticed Kael's exceptional fighting ability. Fenric was 100% sure that he wouldn't be able to fight against Kael.

Noticing that his little sister was waving both of her hands excitedly, Kael had already guessed why she was so excited and decided to ride one of the wolves, heading towards his little sister.

The wolves' appearance was similar to that of a typical grey wolf, except that it was bigger than a normal grey wolf, around 1.4 meters in height, and its fang was dark, as their name suggested.

Just as Kael had almost arrived with the wolves, Liora asked cutely while opening her arms widely.

"Brother Kael! Can I also ride the wolf too, pweassee?" 

Kael shook his head helplessly, as he had expected this would happen anyway.

"Alright, alright." Kael smiled as he took Liora from the goblin.

"Hehe… Brother Kael is the best." Liora hugged Kael happily, making Kael happy despite the situation he was in, where he didn't even know his parents' situation.

After petting his little sister's head for a bit, he put her on the back of one of the wolves and reminded her softly. "Remember to stay in balance and have a strong grip, okay?"

"Liora understands, don't worry." Liora replied as she already hugged the wolf happily.

Kael reminded her because her legs were paralyzed, resulting in a lack of balance while she was on top of the wolf.

He had actually wanted to try healing Liora's legs, but there were two main reasons why he hadn't done so.

First, it's realistically unwise to do so because the situation ahead was still unknown, and he might even need his mana, that's why he hadn't done it.

Second, he felt that even if he spent all of his current mana, he wouldn't be able to do it—even though his [Heal] skill's rank was extremely high.

He didn't know the exact reason, but he just could feel that he still wouldn't be able to heal her sister's leg.

It was just his intuition that told him so—similar to when he experimented with restoring his undead's physical body. At that time, he just felt that he would be able to do it, resulting in him trying what his intuition had told him, and it worked.

"I've already helped the others. Now where do you want me to accompany you?" Fenric asked as he arrived near Kael.

Kael looked at him and replied simply. "To the west, around 8 km. That's all you need to know."

"Fine by me." Fenric responded and extended his hand. "I'm Fenric, you can just call me by my name."

"I'm Kael. She's my little sister." Kael shook his hand and patted the happy little girl who was still happily hugging the wolf.

"As for her, let's say that I helped her a little bit, and she would follow us for a while." Kael glanced at Vanya as he said that.

"Oh right, I almost forgot about it." Kael raised an eyebrow and looked at Fenric. "Fenric, I need a few wolves' corpses. Four will do."

"No problem." Fenric nodded his head as he knew what Kael would do about the corpses.

Subsequently, Kael resurrected the four wolves and continued their journey by only bringing Fenric along as he sat behind his little sister.

"Ummm, can you drop me around 1 kilometer ahead?" Vanya asked Kael nervously with a smile.

"Alright." Kael replied without looking at her.

After a while, they arrived at a 4-way intersection that had an eerie atmosphere, as no one could be seen on the street.

Tightening her grip on the trash cover and a dagger that she took from a dead undead goblin, Vanya looked at Kael with a serious expression. 

"Thank you for helping me. I hope that I can save my sister and stay alive. At that time, I will look for you to repay the things you've done." Vanya smiled genuinely, revealing a beautiful look that might even be on par with the top models.

Just as she got off the Undead Wolf (level 24) and was about to run toward the south, Kael sighed and stopped her.

"Wait!"

He then took out the four wolves, ranging from level 10 to 13. Above these wolves, there was one low-level undead goblin.

"You can take them with you. You don't need to thank me." Kael said as he waved his hand dismissively. 

"Don't misunderstand, I just don't want you to not repay me and run away after this. With them by your side, you can't run even if you want to."

Vanya teared up a little bit and thanked Kael once again with a light laugh.

"Brother, Can you also lend her the big wolf? What if she meets a strong monster and dies before she could repay us?" Liora tugged at Kael's clothes with a worried expression.

Kael flicked her little sister's head softly as he shook his head, knowing that she just wanted to help Vanya more.

"Since when have you become smart with your words?" Kael chuckled and waved his hand once again as he reminded his undead wolves and goblins.

"Your mission is to protect her and listen to her words. In case she and her little sister die, just come back to me as soon as possible."

After he said that, he immediately continued his journey without waiting for Vanya's response. Fenric followed behind with a smile after he nodded at Vanya.

After another 2 kilometers of smooth journey without meeting another high-level monster, Kael thought that he wouldn't have any more trouble along the way and was happy in his heart.

However, his happiness didn't last long because when they had just passed for another few hundred meters, he suddenly frowned and asked the wolf to stop.

'Fuck, who jinxed it?'

Kael cursed in his heart and looked at Fenric, who had also stopped and was now looking at Kael with a confused expression.

"It must be you who jinxed it!"

"What's wrong?" Fenric also frowned, as he suddenly felt uneasy.

"There's a 1st Echelon Goblin Commander ahead of us," Kael said as he looked ahead with a solemn expression.
