Chapter 106
106. Cleansing the Lake
Shaaaak!
The cold blade of the ice shovel cut the wave parasite in half.
Pazzzz!
But the guy was persistent.
‘A normal monster would have died. A mutant is a mutant.’
Even in the dismembered state, he tried his last desperate attempt to parasitize Kang Seung-hyun.
[Abnormal status ‘frozen’ state!]
At that moment, the guy’s stem froze at once.
Damn it!
Pagaak!
It shattered with a gruesome sound and met its end.
‘I’m finally done. A persistent bastard.’
Kang Seung-hyeon looked at the wreckage of the wave parasitic plant with an expressionless face. No matter how powerful the variant is, the characteristics of the wave parasitic plant, which is weak to cold, cannot be changed.
[2 seconds remaining]
[1 second remaining]
[0 seconds remaining]
[The ice hoe knife completely melted!]
Gently.
At the same time, Kang Seung-hyeon’s ice hedge knife disappeared without a trace. Because the time limit has run out.
Kang Seung-Hyun thought as he looked at his cold hands.
‘I made it to be used once and thrown away, but it’s a pity that it disappears.’
Although it has disappeared, it has performed its role perfectly, so that is enough.
Kang Seung-hyun put his regret behind him and turned his head.
‘Should I collect samples separately and study them?’
Kang Seung-hyun collected the remnants of the wave parasitic plant. If you study it in advance, it will be easier to deal with when another mutation occurs.
‘Once the main body was disposed of, what happened to the clones?’
gurgling
gurgling.
Looking up, I saw schools of Sequoia squid spewing a dark-green liquid from their bodies.
As the main body of the wave parasitic plant died, the alter egos that were parasitic on the host seemed to stop moving all at once.
‘It’s released that way. Once the main body is dealt with, there will be no big problem for the hosts.’
Chow ah
Chow
After that, the squids swam freely in the lake as if nothing had happened.
Perhaps the other guys have come back to their senses as well.
‘How did everyone get back to normal… Huh?’
It was then.
At the same time as the creatures of Pitsta Lake escaped from their parasitic state.
[+12][+5][+6][+15][+6][+13][+12][+7][+10][+4][+10][+7][+ 11][+14][+12]….
A large amount of points started to come in.
‘point? In this situation?’
Kang Seung-hyun looked up into the air with a puzzled face.
Even while doing this, the points continued to come in.
‘Could it have been recognized as a treatment?’
The only way Kang Seung-hyun can earn points is when he treats the injured.
Apparently, the system recognized the situation in which the host was restored to normal by removing the parasitic plant as a cure.
‘This… I didn’t even think of it.’
Seunghyun Kang smiled and murmured.
In a word, he cured all the monsters infected by the wave parasite at once.
‘I can’t even dream of other guys besides me.’
The one and only healer who has virtually healed the entire lake.
The only healer capable of this is Kang Seung-hyun, a wild healer.
[Accomplished!]
[Accomplished!]
[Accomplished!]
…[Accomplished!]
It wasn’t just points.
Messages announcing achievements were pouring in, probably because he had done an incredible job.
Today was the first time I had accomplished so many achievements at once.
‘It’s worth all the hard work.’
Seunghyun Kang smiled and looked at his hand.
In fact, it was because my hand was frostbitten from using the ice cold hake knife.
‘If I go up on the water, I’ll have to treat frostbite first.’
Fortunately, the symptoms weren’t too severe.
This can be easily corrected with just a few steps.
‘Then let’s go up soon.’
Kang Seung-hyeon left the lake behind and swam up.
-with a splash!
“phew!”
Kang Seung-hyun, who came up on the water, looked around.
The sky was already pitch black.
Then there are dark clouds.
“What did you do that the time is like this?”
Seunghyun Kang sighed and looked at the night sky.
The sky was so dark that even the moon could not be seen because of the dark clouds.
“Is it gone…”
The original plan was to arrive at Tracotti Village before the end of the day, but this seems unlikely.
“Sensei Kang!”
At that time, I heard Kim Ho-jung’s urgent voice calling Kang Seung-hyun. Kim Ho-jeong was waiting for Kang Seung-hyeon to appear while riding on a piece of ice floating on the surface of the lake.
“I thought I was dying of curiosity because it didn’t come out at all!”
“Something happened.”
“Still, seeing that he came back intact, it looks like he handled the monster neatly. I am also Teacher Kang.”
Kim Ho-jung smiled with a relieved face and held out a shovel.
“great job. Grab this and come up.”
“Why is that?”
“I don’t think I can reach there.”
“Then throw something like a rope…”
Kang Seung-hyun climbed onto the ice holding onto the shovel with a puzzled look on his face.
A shovel helped, though not as much as a rope.
“My whole body is wet because I’m constantly in the water.”
“Would you like to borrow a towel?”
“Oh, it’s okay.”
Kang Seung-hyun took out a homemade bandage and wiped his body dry.
Homemade bandages have many places to use.
“So what about the others?”
“It’s on the other side of the lake. I thought it would be better to wait in a safe place than a block of ice.”
Chow
Kim Ho-jeong confirmed that Kang Seung-hyun was on the ice and rowed the golden shovel like an oar. The ice sculpture carrying the two of them slowly moved forward.
“It’s an ice boat.”
It seems that the other party also moved to the mainland in this way.
Because the ship they rode on was washed away.
“That shovel is more useful than I thought.”
“right?”
“Mainly for chores…”
Kang Seung-hyun muttered briefly before opening his mouth as if he remembered something.
“But is motion sickness okay?”
“of course! It’s not okay…”
I didn’t know because it was dark, but Kim Ho-jung’s complexion was not good.
For some reason, there was a reason to row slowly.
“You shouldn’t have waited on land for Kim Ho-jeong.”
“But it’s sad when no one is waiting for you when you come out after all the hard work.”
That’s why I patiently endured motion sickness and waited. Kim Ho-jung laughed and rowed.
Chow Chow Chow.
“If it were me, I would have been resting by the lake.”
“I couldn’t help much today, so I have to help at least like this.”
It was a really Kim Ho-jung answer.
‘Well, I was originally that kind of person. The type to help others at the risk of self-loss.’
I thought he was a really consistent person.
Seunghyun Kang threw a stamina potion and said.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome!”
Kim Ho-jung, who snatched the potion, started rowing vigorously again.
– It’s okay, it’s okay.
“Everyone is here!”
“at las.”
An ice sculpture boat carrying two people arrived at the opposite shore of the lake. As soon as he reached land, Kim Ho-jeong jumped off the boat and fell to the ground.
dump!
“I’m dying…”
“You worked hard. Still, sticking your nose in the dirt is a bit.”
“teacher…!”
Daisy, who was wandering around the lakeside, found Kang Seung-hyeon and hurriedly ran to him.
There were small tears in her eyes.
“Thank you so much for saving Rudy. Thank you…”
Daisy said thank you several times and shed the tears she had been holding back.
It was a hopeless situation where the daughter was captured by the monster and the husband passed out.
-Mr. Daisy is waiting for you here.
Seunghyun Kang took the lead without hesitation.
In her eyes, Kang Seung-hyun was truly a hero himself.
“I’m so glad you came back safely…”
After her daughter came back, she waited anxiously for Kang Seung-hyun to return. Praying for him to return safely without incident.
“I told you. You don’t have to worry too much.”
“You are such a great teacher.”
And Seunghyun Kang came back with a smile on his face.
He had kept all his promises to her.
“I will return this. thanked.”
Daisy held out the gown she was wearing. Other than a little crumpled, nothing much has changed from before.
It seems to have been carefully stored until Kang Seung-hyun returned.
“I’m glad I was helpful.”
flutter.
Kang Seung-hyun put on the returned gown. My body is wet, so it doesn’t help much, but it’s better than nothing.
“Oh, so what about the other two? Are Balik and Rudy okay?”
“yes. Both are resting under a tree.”
Daisy pointed to a tree by the lake.
Balik immediately came to his senses, but he had no strength to move, and Rudy was also in a state of exhaustion from a major incident.
“Since Kim Ho-jeong is also spread out… I should rest here.”
Kang Seung-hyeon spread his hands toward Kim Ho-jung, who was resting his head on the ground.
[Spraying]
A bright yellow aura spread from his hand and restored Kim Ho-jung’s stamina.
Next, let’s [Spray] the stamina potion.
“It’s better…”
Kim Ho-jung picked up the golden shovel he had thrown away and stood up. There were no serious injuries on this side, except for the loss of energy.
“When I’m feeling better, I’ll leave then. It would be impossible to reach the village within today anyway.”
There is no need to forcefully move in a situation where everyone in the party is babbling.
“Ah, if I had to get hurt, I would have earned points at least as a teacher…”
“Points come in even if I just recover stamina. Although the odds are not very high.”
“Nevertheless.”
Kim Ho-jung sighed deeply and said.
The fight was intense, but no one was injured as a result.
‘If I had to choose, would it be about the statue I’m wearing?’
Of course, Kang Seung-hyun’s self-treatment is meaningless because he can’t get points.
“Aren’t you wasting your points today?”
“Oh, I didn’t make a fuss.”
“then?”
Hearing that, Kang Seung-hyun smiled and said.
There was no one to heal, but there were plenty of monsters to heal.
“I earned a ton of points.”
“what? how?”
“To treat infected monsters.”
Kang Seung-hyeon earned a large amount of points by treating all monsters parasitic with parasitic plants.
Of the past three years, today will be the best ever.
“Did you cure the monster in that situation? How great?”
“Well, I got caught too.”
Kang Seung-hyun laughed and thought.
‘I never thought they’d admit this kind of indirect treatment.’
Yamae Healer 3rd year.
Kang Seung-hyun was growing wildly and endlessly.
“So how much did you earn? 500 points?”
“well? I don’t know because I didn’t check.”
“Check it out quickly! You are curious!”
“all right.”
Kang Seung-hyun opened the status window to check the accumulated points.
‘I think I came in about 3000 points…’
I opened it with a really light heart.
[Accumulated points: 14375 points]
There was a jackpot there.
