Chapter 46
46. Trap for Priest 2
“How is Kang Seung-hyun…?”
“I was waiting for this to happen.”
Seunghyun Kang said calmly and walked forward.
Ergan looked very flustered, but
said, “Be careful. A trap activated underfoot. Both Lakramati and Sahita fell into that trap.”
He regained his composure and spoke calmly.
Seunghyun Kang looked under his feet.
‘Is it a magic circle?’
There were traces of the magic circle being activated and black thorns that seemed to have sprouted from it.
‘It’s a real trap set by the boss monster.’
This trap is for catching priests on the right path. Therefore, it would have no effect on Kang Seung-hyeon, who had below-average divine power.
‘As expected, nothing happened.’
I put my foot on the magic circle as a test, but nothing happened.
“Sir Kang! what happened there? Is the priest okay?”
“Teacher Kang Seung-hyun! let’s go together!”
Then Kim Ho-jung and Tina ran from behind. Seeing both of them panting, it seems that they ran out of breath.
“This is a sealing magic circle!”
Tina shouted when she saw the magic circle appearing on the floor.
“This pattern is a form of unsealing! What has been released?”
“Dark magic… I sealed the Curse Spear.”
Lakramati looked at the black thorn and said.
It is a form of storing a lot of dark magic inside and activating it the moment the target appears. Lakramati and Sahita were caught in a good way.
“I pushed it away, but I couldn’t dodge it completely.”
Ergan looked at Sahita and said.
Sahita was lying on the floor, bleeding profusely. Others were unharmed with no injuries.
‘It was a magic circle that would dissolve when someone with strong divine power approached it. It’s sealed and hidden, so there’s no way the dark magic will leak out.’
If Ergan hadn’t pushed Priest Sahita away, she would have died on the spot. It’s a trap that I made with the intention of killing it.
“Did you expect this to happen?”
Lakramati muttered with an incomprehensible face.
It would be natural for him not to know since he went without listening, but Kang Seung-hyun had no intention of explaining to him kindly.
“It must be a trap.”
“Explain properly!”
“So, who didn’t listen to me?”
Kang Seung-hyeon clearly warned at first. You have to go the left way.
In the end, the person who didn’t listen is at fault.
“If you’re curious, ask Ail.”
“what? What’s up?”
Kang Seung-hyun said as he passed Lakramati who had approached.
Even now, Sahita’s condition continued to deteriorate. Now was not the time to argue with such a pathetic healer.
“Or watch Priest Sahita die while he explains.”
“…”
Lakramati couldn’t say more. It was because he realized that he was interfering with the healer.
“I made a mistake. Healer Kang Seung-hyun.”
Lakramati bowed her head politely.
Of course, his ability as a healer is excellent. Kang Seung-hyun has low divine power and poor healing.
‘But now I’m cursed. It has no value as a healer.’
I don’t know if Kang Seung-hyun really has divine skills or if there is a way to lift the curse. However, there was no doubt that he was the only healer who could save Priest Sahita right here and now.
“It’s all my fault… It’s all my fault that Priest Sahita got hurt.”
Had he listened to Kang Seung-hyeon’s warning, Priest Sahiti would not have taken the right path. Because I’m a very timid person.
“So please… heal the priest.”
“That, that… that arrogant, arrogant bastard? Do you even know how to write such words? uh?”
The wizard Shuire, who was watching the situation, shouted as if she was dumbfounded. It seems that even among co-workers, it was quite awkward.
“I can’t believe Lacramati, who is proud of herself, bowed her head in favor.”
Even leader Ergan admired it.
“What the hell is that bastard doing… are all his colleagues freaking out over an apology?”
“I’ve only just met him, but he was an amazing person.”
“Well, even when I look at it for a little while, it seems like that.”
Kim Ho-jung and Tina whispered. Kang Seung-hyeon sighed as he listened to the two of them.
“Honestly, I want to tease you more.”
One of the joys of Kang Seung-hyun’s life is to make fun of and sarcastically ridicule those who don’t listen to him. However, if there was someone dying next to him, he tended to restrain himself.
“Priest Sahita is going to die, so I’ll take special care of him today.”
Lakramati was at least having a conversation like this, but Priest Sahita was limp and unable to move.
“I’ll treat the priest’s wounds, so the others should go and listen to the explanation.”
“But…”
“Looking from the side is disturbing.”
Kang Seung-hyun beckoned, and everyone withdrew as if there was nothing they could do.
“Isle! Please explain!”
“What the hell… what happened?”
“Explain it to us too.”
Instead, he rushed to Isle. I guess I was really curious.
-‘With this, the intruders are gone.’
Kang Seung-hyeon looked at Priest Sahita, who had collapsed on the floor.
‘I don’t think I need to use the eyes of observation for this.’
The wound caused by the piercing of the leg caused excessive bleeding. If you don’t act quickly, you will die.
‘Let’s start with [Hemostasis].’
Seunghyeon Kang used [Hemostasis] to stop the bleeding.
‘I’m still in a situation where I can recover with a potion.’
She lost quite a bit of blood, but not enough to require a blood transfusion. Kang Seung-hyun [sprayed] the stamina potion.
[Spraying]
Sahita’s complexion slightly improved as the red aura was emitted and spread.
‘Now that the fire has been extinguished, what remains is a curse on Priest Sahita’s body.’
[Observation eyes]
Kang Seung-hyun’s eyes shone blue.
[Bleeding] [Curse of the shadow worm]
[Pierced by a sharp object.]
[No bones were broken.]
[I can feel strong black magic from the wound.]
Various information floated over Priest Sahita’s body.
‘I knew the information roughly…’
Kang Seung-hyun could not properly feel the black magic or divine power, but he could confirm it by using the [Observation Eye]. It eats up a lot of stamina, so I don’t use it often.
‘The Curse of the Shadow Worm…’
A chunk of dark shadow was stuck to the wound. That is the identity of the curse placed on Priest Sahita.
“Can you cure Mr. Kang?”
“I have to break the curse first.”
[Curse of the shadow worm]
[The worm possessing dark magic sticks to it.]
[Suits the vitality of the target.]
[Magic stamina, holy power, dark magic vitality.]
[Does not cover any of them.]
“Shadow worms are A curse that debilitates the target. If you are a patient with a fatal wound like Priest Sahita… you won’t last long and you’ll die.”
“Hey, you set the trap properly.”
Place an instant-death trap using the Curse Spear and end it with a curse even if you are lucky enough to save your life.
I felt the malice to kill the target without fail.
“The boss monster of this dungeon must be pretending not to be a bad character.”
It’s unmistakable to see that he’s done such a troublesome thing with great care.
“But how do I remove the curse? There is no such thing as me, Sensei, or divine skills.”
In order to remove the curse, the Priest’s Curse Cleansing skill or holy water is required. Of course, Seunghyun Kang doesn’t have a curse purification skill.
“There is one powerful Holy Beast.”
It is also a holy water that has more divine power than most priests. It is the Holy Beast of Dawn crafted with great care by the Church of Ayber.
“To be precise, it’s an arrow with the power of holy water.”
Kang Seung-hyeon took out the arrow of the Holy Water of Dawn. I just took it out of the inventory, and powerful divine power spread out.
“With this, the curse can be removed.”
“ah! That guy was there!”
Kim Ho-jeong snapped her fingers and shouted.
“Sir Kang. Quickly! and shoot!”
“Once you use it, you can’t use it until tomorrow morning. We should save it in case we have anything else to write about.”
“Uh…then what do we do?”
“We will use the divine power from the arrow.”
Kang Seung-hyeon took the arrow of the holy water of dawn to the wound.
‘If it’s a powerful holy water that drives out the lower undead just by holding it…’
Let’s hit the black mass with an arrow of the holy water of dawn
!
The mass dissipated, emitting a strong light. It was as if I was being consumed by fire.
‘As expected, it erases things like curses lightly.’
Seunghyun Kang’s prediction was correct. The shadow worm’s curse could not withstand the divine power flowing from the arrow of the holy water of dawn.
“Now then, take this.”
“huh?”
Kang Seung-hyeon pointed an arrow at Kim Ho-jung.
“uh? I? do I do it?”
“I have to heal my wounds. Please support me.”
When Kang Seung-hyun said with a smile,
“Okay! support! I’ll try!”
Kim Ho-jeong held the arrow and passed the curse. The divine power was so strong that the curse that clung to his body began to evaporate.
‘I don’t have to worry about that side.’
This is why people should have companions. Earning points is important, but I really need someone to help me with treatment.
‘The curse has been resolved, and what’s left is a piercing wound from the Curse Spear.’
The Curse Spear pierced Priest Sahita’s leg and spread a curse on his body before disappearing. As a result, excessive bleeding occurred, but there was no foreign body left inside.
‘It would have been a little bothersome if the remains were left inside the body. It’s nice that you don’t have to remove it separately.’
If it’s heavenly luck that a leg was stabbed, not a vital part like the head or abdomen, it’s heavenly luck. Thanks to that, I don’t have much to worry about other than bleeding.
‘The bones aren’t broken, and there’s no infection, so I can just suture it.’
After Kang Seung-hyun finished disinfecting, he took out a suture tool and held out his hand to Kim Ho-jung.
“Magical Potion.”
“uh? uh! okay!”
Kim Ho-jung brought out the magic potion.
[Thread]
I activated the skill by putting the magic thread drawn from the potion on the needle.
[Observation eye]
[Suture]
Of course, these two skills were a combination that consumed a lot of stamina, but
it was a “stamina potion.”
“okay!”
This time, the assistant next to me provided a stamina potion, so there was no problem.
‘It’s much better.’
I should have hired an assistant earlier. Kang Seung-hyun was satisfied and started to sew.
– “How could it be? Did it go well?”
“…”
The Ergan party members who were kicked out for interfering with the treatment. They waited for Kang Seung-hyun with anxious faces.
“Even so, Sahita is seriously injured, so if we don’t deal with it quickly… she will die.”
Lakramati muttered with a confused face.
There may be deaths among party members. The moment everyone realized this, their faces darkened.
“Can Healer Seunghyun Kang heal Sahita?”
“I don’t know. There seems to be a corner to believe in something.”
“Now I have no choice but to trust him.”
Ergan said with a hard face.
After all, they don’t know what to do. All you can do is wait.
“Wouldn’t that be difficult?”
At that time, Ail, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth.
“Mr. Kang Seung-hyeon has low divine power and the curse is so strong that it will be difficult to break it easily even with holy water.”
“Then there is no way?”
“Right now… I guess I shouldn’t have.”
It was the moment he said so.
“You waited long?”
Seunghyun Kang appeared with a smile on his face. As if waiting for that laugh, the Ergan party rushed in.
“How’s Sahita?”
“Is she all right?”
“Healing as well as cursing were successful. See for yourself.”
Kang Seung-hyun pointed to the back, and Kim Ho-jung appeared with Sahita on his back. The mass of curses clinging to her leg had disappeared.
“Thank you… Really really…”
Priest Sahita, who was on his back, shed tears. Kang Seung-hyeon approached Sahita and handed her a cut bandage instead of a handkerchief.
“Wipe away your tears.”
“Thank you, thank you…”
Sahita sobbed and wiped her tears with a bandage.
‘I’m still scared, but I’m alive.’
It was natural for him to whimper like that.
“thank god. Seeing you cry like you normally do, you look fine.”
Shuire sighed, then poked Ail next to him and said.
“Hey, I was scared for nothing because of you. They said it was a powerful curse and difficult to lift.”
“…”
Shuire said with a smile, but Isle’s expression hardened momentarily when he saw that. However, he quickly returned to his usual face.
“…Fortunately, you seem to have passed the hurdle. However, since your body has weakened greatly from the aftermath of the curse, walking must be difficult.”
“Shouldn’t you go out and get proper treatment?”
Shuire was ready to draw a return magic circle.
“Then I will take Priest Sahita and return temporarily. The potion I brought was about to run out…”
Aile said this and was about to approach Sahita.
“Ah, don’t worry, priest.”
Seunghyun Kang smiled and held his shoulder.
“If you rest for an hour or two, you will recover. Are you still okay with walking?”
So there is no need to take it out. Seunghyun Kang added:
But Ail said with a face full of disbelief.
“…There is no way a person who has been afflicted with such a powerful curse can move right away. Even if I can’t do it, I’ll have to rest for a day or two, so I think it’s right to take him to the village.”
I’il didn’t say much when he was treating Tina earlier, but now he’s particularly stubborn. To the point where it gets annoying.
‘There are always guys like this. Even if I save someone from dying, they’ll argue with me.’
A healer who can’t use heals, a guy who says he can’t believe what he says
A bastard who asks if he was treated properly.
The guy who says he’s cheating on something.
If you live as a Yame Healer, you will meet often.
“If you don’t believe me, I can’t help it.”
However, it is not that difficult to silence such people.
“Priest Sahita, would you like to come down and walk for a moment?”
It’s just to show that the patient is fine.
