I will Save this Doomed Plot

Chapter 85: Forest(2)

"Wait, you're helping out too?"

"Yeah, the sooner we finish, the better, right?"

Luke then charged forward while swinging his purple aura towards every monster he met. This caused him to have monster blood all around him, but he didn't really care.

'This should be enough for exercise, right? It doesn't matter, my body will always be weak.'

Luke thought that exercising was pointless for him. In his previous life, he had a job that required him to train like a madman all day, but it was all for naught because his body was weak from the start. But because he was so good at adapting to new skills, he was still hired despite his weak body. Even if the skills are hard and only for beefy guys, he can improvise and make the skills his own. That is his specialty.

Luke then decided to not think much about it and kept on slashing with a blank face. He then saw Erdene passing by him and shooting large sharp branches from his hands towards the monsters, causing the monsters to be skewered to death. Even though wood is often used to symbolize peace and kindness, who says that it can't be transformed into an absolutely deadly weapon that could pierce through your body?

After absolutely slaughtering monsters for the whole day with the help of the giants, two swordsmen, a legendary beast, and a Spirit, they are finally done with slaughtering the monsters. They then all gathered in one place and panted in exhaustion. They all looked beat up from moving all day. That was especially the case for Luke.

"Huff, huff, huff, Goddammit."

Luke frowned and plopped down on the ground. Liam and Nash then approached him, concerned.

"Brother, are you okay?"

"Dad! You are covered in blood!"

Nash then cast a cleaning spell on Luke and the blood on Luke's body instantly disappeared. Luke sighed and looked around. He could see the once healthy and green forest that was now covered with blood. It is absolute bloodshed. The giants, including Ava, are also covered in blood as if they showered in it. It is the same for Liam, but Nash and Erdene are the only exceptions. Not even a drop of blood was on their bodies. As expected of strong beings, they didn't even appear tired.

Everything is fine, except for the fact that there is blood everywhere. But something is missing...

Cough!

Yep, that's what is missing.

Luke then saw blood flowing from his mouth. Nash then shouted while Liam immediately charged forward and put a handkerchief in Luke's mouth.

"DAD! Are you okay?!"

Nash then turned to look at Luke, who was spitting blood into a handkerchief. Once Luke was done spitting out a handful of blood, he then looked at the once white handkerchief turning dark red. Luke frowned and looked at Liam's dark face. It is understandable, though.

'Imagine your pure white handkerchief being covered in blood. Even I will be mad.'

"Liam, sorry, your handkerchief is covered in blood."

"No, it is fine, brother."

Luke saw Liam's dark face while looking at the now red handkerchief.

'Yeah, right, you are fine about it. You seemed agitated.'

Luke sighed and flinched when he saw the giants and Erdene looking at him with shock. He also saw Ava covering her mouth with her hands while looking at Luke's bloody mouth and handkerchief with wide eyes.

"... What's the matter?"

As Luke inquired, Erdene then spoke in a stressed voice.

"You are so weak... Don't ever do that again."

"What do you mean?"

Luke flinched when he felt a murderous aura below him. He then saw Nash looking at the bloody handkerchief with a glare.

"Dad, please don't do this again. If you want me to destroy all the monsters in this world, I'll do it. Just.... Don't do this again. Look at how much blood you coughed out. This is far worse than the last time."

Luke sighed and patted Nash's head to calm him down.

"I feel fine, so don't worry."

Luke was then about to stand up, but Liam stopped him.

"Brother, rest."

"Huh? But I am fine now."

Erdene then butted in with an annoyed expression.

"No, rest."

Seeing Erdene, Liam, and Nash, the three strong blokes, glaring at him. Luke then sat back down. He then heard Erdene sighing.

"I can't believe it. Is this what you've all been gone through? Trying to make a stubborn brat listen to you... You must have had a difficult time. "

Liam and Nash nodded in agreement.

"Brother always wants to do everything on his own and always says he'll be fine with confidence, which is why we can't do anything about it."

"Dad is always stubborn. He only listens to us when we give him threatening glares and threats."

Liam and Nash sighed in frustration. Luke, who is looking at them with confusion, wonders what part of him was stubborn.

'Am I stubborn?'

Erdene saw Luke's curious face and sighed. He no longer wanted to think about what was going on in this brat's head. He felt as if he'd just gotten a migraine from thinking about it. Instead, he just put his hands in front of him and did the same thing he did earlier, causing all the blood to disappear and the monsters' corpses all gathered in one place on the side of the forest. Luke just looked at this and stood up. Liam was about to stop him, but Luke stared at Liam, causing Liam to stop. Luke then addresses Nash, who is already sulking.

"Let's go back."

"Okay."

Nash pouted while casting a teleportation spell. Erdene then stepped forward, which made Luke look at him with a confused expression. Then Erdene spoke up.

"I'll come with you. I need to do something on your island."

Luke nodded; he has no idea what Erdene's business is on his island, and he doesn't care, so he can tag along if he wants. Erdene then looked at the giants behind him.

"I'll be back soon. For now, build some houses around the forest for you guys to live in while I am gone. And also, protect the forest. I have already cast a mana barrier around this forest, so no outsider should come in. But it is better to be safe than sorry. We don't want withered souls to be splattered around again right?"

The giants nodded and Erdene then nodded at Nash. Nash then completely activated the teleportation magic and returned back to the island. When Luke and the others returned, Erdene immediately roamed around the island while Liam approached the kids. Luke simply ignored them and went inside, while Nash trailed closely behind him, concerned. Luke just sighed when he noticed the three-year-old's concerned stare.
