It's Munchkin Healer

8. Saint on the Plague (2)

Evening waiting for the sun to set.

The Watcher entered the town through a gap.

[You have entered a field dungeon.]

A good message came to my mind.

Yay.

You get a heartbeat every time you see this message?

This familiar free scent.

It must have come in right.

And I couldn't hear the player's voice.

Some are far from the control area, but this place is separated from the outside by a dungeon.

Let's find the boss, shall we?

As long as the facilitator is not a fool, he will find out someday.

Of course, all the facilitators I've met so far have been fools.

“How many hours until the next shift? ”

Yikes!

I lowered myself to the voice of the person.

A short distance away were two plague doctors.

“An hour. Don't worry, I told you I'd be fine for six hours. ”

“But it's still kind of creepy. I lost three men yesterday. Did you hear about Paulo? She died because she wasn't cleansed. Priest Yoon-ha came, but it was too late. If we had just taken him straight to the main house, he'd still be alive. Ha · · · Paulo. That poor guy. ”

“I can't help it. It could spread. We should stay here for a while. ”

Two plague doctors spoke.

It was worse than I thought.

“How many ranks did you clear, by the way? Isn't that the kind of person who has purification skills? ”

“Rank B cleanup didn't work. The outside can be ranked C, but the inside doesn't have any answers. You heard the blockade retreat this time, right? It's getting worse by the day. When will it be dangerous here, too? ”

“Haa · · · I want to switch quickly. I feel itchy even if I stay still. ”

“Phew. Must be the mood. But I don't know what to do. It's a Saint's order. According to the Trust, it was a plague that would consume the entire continent. Luckily, our priesthood stopped him. Let's be proud.”

“Ugh · · · I don't know. Deliberate, obliged. ”

Listening to the two conversations, I left.

Are you an Aboriginal if you don't have a player?

I'm not sure because I don't know it on the outside.

‘Hmm.'

After walking for a long time, I arrived at the village.

The outer building is completely burned, but the far side is intact.

Did you gather the villagers over there?

Even the villagers who really didn't go out were surprised that you shouldn't go out.

Wing! Wing!

I heard flies fly in my ears.

Ugh.

I blocked my nose by the stench.

Below the hill are the herds that died in groups.

The body decays, revealing the bones, whether it has been thrown into the pit and left alone.

If you do this, I'll burn you down with the building.

I don't know why I did this.

Or was it intentional?

You make your way through the terrible pit and into town.

By this time, there were no patrolling plague doctors.

Huh?

At that time, I saw a man collapse on the side of the road.

A man in a black robe and a mask.

I was a plague doctor in the priesthood.

‘He's dead.'

I took off a mask that resembles a crow.

Inside the mask is a dead man vomiting black blood.

The cool skin had a black vein, and the eyes were turned white to stare into the air.

‘Hmm · · ·. ’

I examined the stripped mask.

Inside is a magic circle painted in blue paint.

Did it work when it didn't glow?

I took the robe off and put it on the floor.

If you wear a mask with a robe, you'll look like you belong to the priesthood.

‘Of course. ’

You touched the blood on the inside of the mask.

It was a chance to learn about the plague.

[Degururu · · ·]

[3, 1. Total 4. Failure. You have been defeated by the Blackdess.]

Similar to [Venom Sentipid] 's poison by 1%. Similar to [Doom Curse] 2%. · · · 1% similar to [Acid Spring]. Resists poison with existing resistance.]

[Resistance to the Blackdess has increased by 1.]

[WARNING. Blackdess poison damage persists.]

“Huff!”

There was intense pressure from the stomach.

I vomited blood under terrible pressure.

“Huff! Huff! ”

Lardass!

Blood spills out.

Black blood, like the one you saw inside the mask.

A bucket of blood spills out like an entire intestine, and the trembling limbs are not strong enough.

Not even a daring fighter bonus.

It was a "plague," not something else, so there could not be a difference in strength.

“Low · · Cleanse! ”

[You have a lower rank than the suspended status condition.]

“Ugh · · · Great Hill! ”

Paan!

The golden light exploded.

The horrific pressure disappeared.

Wow.

How long has it been since you've seen a poison like this?

This is the first poison I've seen since the Undead Slime.

Sloth · · ·

Lime, who was in your bag, crawls out.

Lime tilts to see me fall.

“Phew · · · It's been a long time. Right?"

Barrels!

Lime pops up and sucks the blood out of the floor.

This guy.

You didn't come out here because you were worried about me. You came out here to eat poison?

“Wipe this off, too. ”

I gave Rob a big smile.

The robe that Lime cleaned was clean as new.

Chop, chop!

“Ah. No masks. I have to write it. ”

Bluish · ·

Limes bounce off the top of your lungs.

I thought you wanted to eat the poison in the mask, but I had to use this.

I put my finger on it again.

[2, 1. Total 3. Failure. You have been defeated by the Blackdess.]

“Khh!”

I withstood the pressure pushed from my stomach.

Painful, but familiar with this development.

[Resistance to the Blackdess has increased by 1.]

‘Phew.’

I remember falling at the bottom of the dungeon.

The first time I ate a poisonous spider, it was like this.

This is what you get when you sniff moth venom with your nose.

I endured it every time.

This poison will endure.

I can't believe how dark the evening is and the stars are so colorful.

[Resistance to Blackdess has increased by 4.]

[Adapted to the Blackdess.]

Adapted to the plague.

“Phew!”

It's been a long time since I met you.

But I don't think the plague around here is strong.

Did this plague doctor go all the way inside?

Or the source of the plague.

“Here, take this. ”

String!

I gave him a mask when I got used to it.

Lime got excited and drank poison.

We're ready for this.

Adapted to the plague, got the plague doctor's mask and robes.

If you wear this, you won't suspect anyone.

“Lime. Fire. ”

String!

The lime on your head illuminates.

You wear a mask and tighten the strap.

The world looked strange with a red lens.

‘Hmm.'

Refreshed the player's conversation.

The facilitator said the boss of the field dungeon was incomplete.

The paladin player said 24 hours left.

It's been about six hours, so maybe 18 hours.

Then what is the boss monster?

Giant Serpent?

Or a cursed monster?

Rich was the most powerful.

They say, "I wish I had more time! ’Cause it is.

Rich in the world was also an undead, like any fantasy, a high magician, weaker than any other novel.

Just a magical monster.

There were no unusually smart, high-level magicians.

We're running out of time every time! This is how I died.

I wonder if we can find it if the plague is deep?

There was more plague on the outskirts than there was in the village.

Tie, tie, tie!

A lime jumps from above your head.

“What did you find? ”

Tie, tie, tie!

But what Lime found was a girl who was lying on the floor.

Lime jumps on his body and trembles.

It seemed to absorb the poison.

“Cough!”

The child regained his senses and breathed.

I held the lime back and raised the child.

“Are you okay? You can't be here. It's sicker than the town. ”

“Huh · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

The child looked at me with surprised eyes.

Herbs in my arms.

The Greenherb is a herb that was effective for abdominal pain.

It's weaker than clearing an F rank.

“Go, thank you! Thank you!”

The child regained his mind and greeted him.

I'll look like a plague doctor from the priesthood.

Of course, it was Lime who saved the child, but I shook my hands without a big deal.

“Did you come all the way here to find herbs? It's still dangerous. Go back to town. ”

“Low · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

The boy's hand grabbed Rob.

Ah · ·

This was a bothersome development.

“Stop, sir! Help! My mom is sick! ”

Take a look.

It was obvious why a girl like this came to look for herbs.

“I'm sorry, dear. I have a mission from the priesthood. Go back because it's dangerous.”

Thieyoung?

The lime on your head sags.

Oh, come on.

Why are you looking at me?

“I haven't been prescribed anything for three days. I told you to wait! Just don't leave · · Please help me! Please!”

“No, it's the Holy Mother. ”

“Help · · · help · · ·. ”

The boy holding Rob cries.

When I saw the tears like chicken shit, my heart rang.

Ha · · ·

What are we gonna do?

We only have 18 hours left.

If I was running late for no reason, the player might notice, and I did not want to be caught by the ankle.

Thieyoung?

The slime of the lime approaches.

Since when does he like kids?

I don't know why I'm doing this.

“· · Cough! Ugh!”

At that moment, the boy who held Rob vomited blood.

Even if Lime absorbed the poison, this level of plague was dangerous.

I took off my gloves and touched his forehead.

[· · · Screaming!]

[3, 4. Total 7. Success. Absorbs poison from the target's body.]

[Decoding results 100%. [Blackdess]. A total of one species of poison was identified. Resists poison with existing resistance.]

“Huh?"

The child's cough sank.

I knelt down and wiped the blood off the child.

“Look, it's dangerous here. We're here to deal with the source of the plague, so go back to town. By tomorrow morning, you'll be done. ”

“Ha, but my mom! ”

Thieyoung?

The lime is growing again.

Stop it, man!

Are you my conscience?

[Tiring!]

[Main Objective: Kill Boss Monsters [0/1]]

[Subgoal: Rescue people dying of illness. [1/376]]

[3 points. Sub-target achieved.]

Huh?

That's when I remembered the message.

Sub-target?

Oh, I see.

Sometimes there was something like this.

Reward points for certain actions in field dungeons.

Usually I give them to people when they act like they're weakening the boss.

[Boss monsters weakened!]

As if this is true, the boss is weakened.

Did the plague have a close relationship with the boss monsters?

Hold still.

Is that what I think it is?

That the facilitator was prepared for the priests.

The paladin aims to kill the boss monsters, and the priest aims to evacuate the people.

Why there were so many sub-targets for each of the dungeons? It must have been one of the facilitators participating in the dungeons.

Then I got a good idea.

376 inhabitants in plain sight.

What if I heal these people?

Even at 3 points per person, 1,000 points will weaken the boss monsters.

It's faster to heal the people gathered in the village than to find a boss who doesn't know where he is.

Besides, they might have already spotted us, so we can get there fast and make a run for it and eat 1,000 points.

I woke up holding the child's hand.

I came up with a way to fly fast.

“Yes, I can't say no to your story. Where's your mother? I'd like to help all the villagers if possible. Can you collect them?”

A smile spread inside the mask.

Thieyoung?

Lime cursed with his eyes.

Yeah, it is.

You can call me a hypocrite.

Hypocrisy is a hypocrisy where no one is acting.

Today I am a hypocrite for the weak.
