Chapter 7
7. Troublesome guy
The Adventurer’s Guild doesn’t give you big money for no reason.
‘It looks easy, but the reward is good?’
There is no such request in the world. If you actually do it, there is a high probability that it will be a cumbersome and tiring quest.
‘This rare monster request is like that too.’
The request document says {1.2 million gold if you catch just one rat!}, but in reality you have to deal with hundreds of subordinate rats called by one boss rat.
“Are you alive?”
Kang Seung-hyun looked at Henry, who was closest to him. He passed out and was unconscious, but his breath was still there.
“It’s enough to breathe.”
The other two looked the same.
If I could afford it, I wanted to get rid of the three fainted people, but it was not a leisurely situation.
“How the hell…”
Matvelo looked at Kang Seung-hyun with a blank face.
“You kindly explained it earlier. They said they would help for only 300,000 gold per person.”
Kang Seung-hyeon moved forward, clearing the rats from clinging to his body. The rats attacked fiercely, but Kang Seung-hyun did not budge.
‘I’m sure the damage is going in?’
It was clearly visible in the eyes of Healer Matvelo. The appearance of Kang Seung-hyun’s stamina going down due to the attacks of the rats.
Still, he did not fall. It’s because my health was restored to 1 at the same time as it went to 0.
“What the hell…”
Mattbello didn’t seem to notice at all, but the answer was simpler than expected.
‘Because I can use a regeneration potion.’
Regeneration Potion.
A health recovery potion that restores your health when you drink it.
However, unlike stamina potions that recover stamina immediately after eating, regenerative potions can continue to regenerate stamina for a certain period of time.
‘Regeneration potions are essential when fighting an enemy that inflicts continuous damage. It’s important to prevent HP from going to zero.’
As long as the effect remains, even if your HP drops to 0, you will immediately recover. Thanks to this, I can withstand the [Intimidation] of rare monsters to some extent.
It’s okay to have a regeneration skill, but in this case, it’s better to use a potion. Because potions don’t have magic power.
‘How many potions are left…’
Kang Seung-hyun looked at his inventory.
There are only two regeneration potions left. It doesn’t seem like a comfortable place to chat.
“Mr. Matvelo, I don’t have time, so I’ll get to the point.”
“yes…?”
“I can only use this twice now.”
Matvelo may not know, but Kang Seung-hyun is using the [Spray] skill to spread the regeneration potion. Of course, you can’t use it without a potion.
‘This one was barely made.’
While the feral party was robbed by a rat, Kang Seung-hyun was making a regeneration potion.
‘The easiest way is to live in Hind Village, but that takes too long.’
It was obvious that the party would be wiped out on the way to and from the village.
‘It’s a shame there are materials around here…’
Like all potion materials, regeneration potions can also be made with a variety of materials.
The easiest ingredient to regenerate in Dentroll Forest is lizard skin.
‘I’ll still be able to hold out for 10 minutes, right?’
Kang Seung-hyeon searched for the lizard monster in the forest. Fortunately, I was able to spot a Dentroll Forest lizard.
‘There’s no time, so let’s make it roughly.’
Kang Seung-hyeon peeled the skin of the lizard he caught and boiled it to make a cheap regeneration potion. It was made in a hurry and the performance is terrible, but without this, you can’t deal with rare monsters.
‘Can’t you last even 10 minutes?’
However, when I brought the potion, the party was on the verge of annihilation.
It’s absurd, but it’s not unexpected. One healer is holding out, so where is it?
“I’m so glad that Mr. Matvelo is still alive.”
“Everyone is still alive…”
“If left alone, they will die soon.”
You have to hold your breath to get money. Because it’s ‘Healer’.
Seunghyun Kang glanced around and said.
Not one but three swarms of rats and incapacitated adventurers. Looking at the situation, there is no answer.
Great!
However, if you can only endure with Matbell, you can do anything. Kang Seung-hyeon filled up Matvelo’s stamina by spraying.
“Your stamina is full… Mr. Matvelo said you know how to use the shield of light, right?”
“Yes, I know how to write, but…”
“Good. Gather the three of them in one place and use the shield of light.”
[Shield of Light] is a skill that halves damage received for a certain period of time. Thanks to this, the damage of monsters with 1 attack is 0. If you use this, you can block the attacks of rats.
“And keep using the shield of light and hold on. Then, even if the regeneration effect runs out, you can survive.”
Fire the Light’s Shield until you defeat the Rare Gypsy Rat. A feral party is the only way to survive here.
“I’d like to…”
Matvelo murmured, shaking his hands.
“The skill doesn’t come out right now…”
“Yes?”
Unlike physical skills that are affected by physical condition, magic skills are affected by mental condition. If you are surprised, the skill you were trying to cast may be canceled, and if you are shocked, the skill may not come out at all.
“That… no… me.”
Matvelo’s pupils shook greatly. It is the face of a person who is dumbfounded by anyone who sees it.
‘If I let it go, I’ll come to my senses, but now should be the situation.’
If you keep going like this, you will be eaten by the rats and die. Physical skills end when health collapses, and magic skills end when mental collapses.
“No magic… No magic potion…”
“No magic?”
The decisive reason why Matvelo’s mental breakdown was that he ran out of mana. This is a common case for healers. Because I think I can’t do anything without magic.
“Then I can use it once my magic power is restored?”
Now that you know why your mentality is broken, it’s easy to bring them back to their senses. It’s because it’s enough to fill the mana.
Hearing Kang Seung-hyun’s words, Matvelo’s eyes widened.
“Ho, do you have any remaining magic potions?”
“I don’t have anywhere else to write.”
Magic potions are much more expensive than other potions. Materials are hard to come by, and making them is tricky. Above all else, it was the only means to restore mana other than rest.
“If only you could lend me one! I’ll do my best!”
Matvelo begged earnestly.
“I’ll pay you back several times…”
“Really? Pay back tenfold later.”
Seunghyun Kang nodded.
“Thank you!”
Matvelo raised his head and looked at Kang Seung-hyun with thrilled eyes. I can do anything as long as my magic power is restored.
However, Kang Seung-hyun did not take out the potion.
“What about the potion over there?”
Matvelo muttered with a puzzled face.
“There is a better way than that.”
[Spraying]
A blue aura emanated from Seunghyun Kang’s hand. At the same time, something unbelievable happened.
“It’s nonsense.”
When the blue aura touched his body, Matbello’s magic was restored. Matvelo murmured in amazement.
“You recovered your mana with your skill?”
Matvelo studied all kinds of skills while walking the path of a healer. However, I had never heard of a skill that restores mana.
no, it shouldn’t have happened.
– In order to use the skill, mana is required.
-That’s why it’s impossible to recover mana with skills.
-Only great beings can restore mana with skills.
Master and senior both firmly said that such a thing could not happen. Because Matvelo learned that way, he believed that humans could not use magic recovery skills.
However, the healer in front of him broke Matvelo’s common sense.
“All of you… Were you an apostle?”
“what?”
‘No, there’s no way I’m just a servant of God…!’
No matter how outstanding an apostle is, the root is human. Magic recovery skills cannot be obtained.
“All of you… who the hell are you?”
Matvelo muttered with a bewildered face.
However, instead of answering, Kang Seung-hyun radiated a blue aura from his hand. The blue aura filled Matvelo’s magical power without fail.
“Is this your answer…?”
A person who performs miracles that humans cannot do.
Martbello was convinced.
The being in front of me is not human. It is said to be a god or a being close to a god.
“I’m sorry.”
“What the hell are you doing…”
“I don’t know what kind of person you are, but I’m an insignificant insignificant creature who doesn’t know anything…”
Martbello carefully fell on the floor and bowed his head.
“I didn’t see anything. I swear by the name of Mr. Aiber, whom I serve, that I will not speak of what happened today until I die.”
Martbello was shaking now. The fact that a believer puts on the name of the god he or she worships means that he will not speak of it even if he really dies.
‘Oh, am I mistaking this for a magic recovery skill?’
Kang Seung-hyun, who finally understood the situation, smiled as if he was dumbfounded.
‘If I tell you the truth, I’ll faint from embarrassment. It’s not a magic recovery skill, it’s a magic potion.’
The plan is ruined when Matvelo passes out. That’s why Kang Seung-hyun let him be mistaken.
‘If you don’t say anything, I’m grateful. It’s such a hassle to explain that.’
In order to explain this situation, we need to explain everything about [Spraying]. Of course, bragging about one’s skills would be foolish.
Especially if it’s a rare skill that only dimension movers use.
‘It’s good to make fun of an idiot, but first, let’s deal with the situation.’
Now is the time for the effect of the regeneration potion on your body to run out.
Great!
Kang Seung-hyeon smashed the two remaining regeneration potions.
[Absorption]
After confirming that the potion was absorbed, I used one for myself and the other for Matvelo.
“The mana was filled and I explained what you had to do.”
“Come to think of it, I can’t even use the regeneration skill on others… You were a great person after all!”
Since he mistook himself for a great being, it would be polite to hang out with him. Kang Seung-hyun lowered his words and turned his back with a smile.
“Now take care of it. Don’t bother me.”
“I see!”
Matvelo jumped up and ran.
‘Don’t bother me…! God commanded me! Don’t bother yourself!’
Matvelo immediately gathered the three fallen people in one place. The rat’s attack continued, but Matbello did not budge.
“Move!”
Matvelo got rid of the rats and prepared a skill. Rare Gypsy Rat still radiated a black aura, and Matbello’s magical power rapidly decreased.
‘This is enough horsepower!’
But it’s not to the extent that I can’t use the light shield. It was a sufficient amount if he was going to use only the shield of light and not other skills.
“I will borrow divine power!”
Matvelo pinned the staff to the ground. Then, he raised the remaining magic power and holy power inside his body to cast a shield of light.
“Light Shield…!”
Is it more desperate than ever? A blindingly brilliant light enveloped Matvelo and the three of them.
The swarm of rats were fierce, but not one of them was able to penetrate the shield of light.
“Zeuik!!!”
“Junejik!”
The swarms of rats bounced off without giving any damage to the feral party.
“succeded!”
Matvelo cheered and shouted.
“God, I did it!”
“Then hold on! Hold on no matter what!”
“yes! I will endure even at the risk of my life!”
“No, you don’t have to risk your life.”
Kang Seung-hyun turned his head with a puzzled face.
All that was left was to defeat the rare monsters.
