“That shadow wolf!”
The narrow-eyed man with ponytails saw the black beast and quietly backed away.
“Have you been here as expected...”
Judging by the hardened expression on his face, even a human who seems to reveal his true colors when he opens his eyes is afraid of a monster like that.
‘Is this guy the raid target this time?’
Kang Seung-hyun immediately took out his weapon and confronted him.
Until now, he had seen all kinds of monsters while wandering around the Azul continent, but he had never seen a monster like this.
[Observation Eye]
Kang Seung-hyun immediately activated [Observation Eye], but
only one keyword,
[Black Beast], appeared and nothing else appeared.
‘A black beast? That’s not his name.’
I don’t know exactly what it means, but it seems that it’s been decided what to call the monster in front of me.
‘Anyway, as I’ve heard, it’s not an ordinary monster.’
From the outside, it’s a lump of pitch-black shadow.
However, if you look closely, it was more like a burning black flame than a simple lump, but it was an indescribable grotesque existence with no sense of heat and no physical substance.
I think I know why the people who witnessed it rated it as ‘not a creature of this world’.
‘Let’s hit it once and think about it.’
What you need to do in this case is very simple.
When you don’t know how your opponent will come out, you can launch a preemptive attack.
“I’ll borrow some.”
Seunghyun Kang picked up the adventurer’s sword that had fallen on the floor and swung it at the black beast.
Whoop!
“...!”
Then the black beast hurriedly stretched out its arm to block the sword.
chin!
It was a simple defense, not a skill or anything, but the power was so great that if it were an ordinary Azul continental citizen, it would have been pushed aside.
‘But it’s a different story if you’re a dimension mover.’
Snuggle Geek!
Kang Seung-hyeon didn’t get pushed back at all and tried to break his defense.
Swoop!
[Magical power rushes under your feet.]
I felt that mana was concentrated in his body.
Papababat!!
At the same time, dozens of black thorns rose from the shadows beneath my feet.
Tuong!
Kang Seung-hyeon immediately twisted the blade to block the thorns.
His power wasn’t very high and his defense timing was accurate, so only light scratches remained on his body.
‘This is a defensive skill in the first place.’
You can guess whether the opponent’s skill was used for offense or defense just by looking at it.
Considering the lower-than-expected power and blockade of attacks, it is unmistakably a defensive skill.
‘Then, did they get hit by this skill?’
Seunghyun Kang glanced at the adventurers on the floor. In the end, these guys were scoundrels who were knocked down with shields, not swords or spears.
‘Those bastards seem to think they don’t even need to use attack skills because they’re so weak... this one is different.’
Now that I know that my defense skills won’t work, I’m going to attack in earnest from now on.
Less!
Kang Seung-hyeon threw down the sword he was holding and tried to prepare for his counterattack.
Tadadat!
But what happened.
The boy turned around and started running away.
‘Where are you going?’
Could it be that you are enticing?
Kang Seung-hyun muttered as if it was absurd.
‘Are you going, fool?’
“Uh... yes? yes?”
The healer you met in an emergency is a healer who doesn’t know how to use heals.
As an analogy, I got lost in the mountains, but when I met a police officer by chance and tried to be relieved, ‘I’m a cop, but I don’t have a police notebook. It’s okay though, so please follow me.’ I am in a situation where I hear the same thing.
‘It’s so suspicious!!’
I was an adventurer who thought, but even though I was a cheater, I was afraid to be abandoned like this, so I couldn’t bear to spit it out.
He just looked at Kang Seung-hyun’s eyes.
“I’ll just treat you simply. Go to the campsite and get proper treatment.”
Kang Seung-Hyun said calmly, as if he was used to it.
At that time, Kang Seung-hyun hadn’t yet gathered the skills necessary for a wild healer, so he really focused on the minimum first aid and left the cure to another healer.
Of course, most of the injured people had seizures saying they were impersonators of healers, but Kang Seung-hyun didn’t think so.
‘Idiots who don’t know the importance of first aid.’
No matter how good a doctor or healer is, it is meaningless if the patient cannot endure until he or she receives treatment.
At that time, Kang Seung-hyeon still thought of himself as a healer even though he couldn’t heal because even though he couldn’t heal as perfectly as he does now, he stretched lifelines so that the wounded could endure until they met a healer.
The savage Azul Continent guys may not understand it, but first aid workers are excellent healers by Earth standards.
‘Fuck, it’s enough if I save her anyway.’
They make a fuss about not using heals, so usually, unless you are a patient who is going to die soon, you are left alone to the limit and spared when you are in trouble.
‘Well, this guy isn’t stupid.’
Kang Seung-hyun likes to make fun of others, but he would calmly treat the other person when he was obedient.
Kang Seung-hyun took out a first-aid kit from his inventory and looked at the patient’s injuries.
[Piercing] [Bleeding]
[The top of the foot was pierced by a sharp object.]
[If left unattended, it will fall into a state of excessive bleeding.]
The injured were all injured by the thorns of the black beast, so their ankles were pierced or torn, etc. was
‘Catch the bleeding first.’
Successful hemostasis greatly increases the survival rate of the injured.
Kang Seung-hyeon poured stamina potion generously on the wound and took out the cloth he had made using [Creating Cloth] and applied pressure.
“Aaaaaagh!”
“It is difficult to find anesthetics. I poured the stamina potion, so it should be a little better.”
“heel! heel!”
“It’s unfortunate, but I don’t know how to use heels yet. If you learn to heal later, I’ll use it for free.”
“Cheater aaaagh!”
Kang Seung-hyeon took a closer look at the patient with the [Observation Eye] while stopping the bleeding.
The healer will take care of the full-scale treatment anyway, but it’s better to do the preliminary work here in advance.
‘That’s how I get a lot of points.’
[The subject is ‘poisoned’.]
[The cause of the poisoning seems to be ‘myconin’ contained in the plants growing nearby.]
[No foreign substance remains.]
The poisoned patient is treated with an antidote or herbal medicine in advance. Removed to make sure that there were no foreign substances remaining.
‘It’s not an ordinary weapon, it’s because it’s stabbed with a strange shadow thorn, so there’s no foreign matter and it’s clean... Huh?’
At that time, Kang Seung-hyun, who was working hard on the patient, felt that something was strange.
‘Wait, the wound is clean?’
Apparently, all the dead in the village of Skanakia were bitten to death.
However, the adventurers in front of me were only stabbed or brushed by thorns, and there were no bite marks.
‘It means he likes biting attacks so much that he bites and kills an entire villager.’
Whether it be a monster or a person, beings with their own trademark would be impatient because they couldn’t boast about it.
If he could annihilate a village with the same technique, he would have taken great pride in his skills.
‘Why did I only use defense skills this time?’
At first, I wondered if he was trying to kill with a shield, but he didn’t seem to have the will to fight in the first place.
‘And more than anything...’
I skipped it earlier, but now that I think about it, there is one thing that bothers me.
It seems like other people didn’t notice.
“I think I can move at this rate.”
“thank god.”
Then the adventurer stumbled and stood up.
It’s not like my ankle is weak, so I think I can walk somehow.
‘Let’s go to the campsite and think about the rest. If we delay here, the day will be over.’
