It's Munchkin Healer

98 Devil of the Wilderness (2)

Three days I promised the king of the wilderness.

I drove my horse to the place I had promised.

I was the only one there, and Gaian decided to show me the king of the wilderness himself.

Bashrack... Bashrack...

I passed a dark tree and headed north.

The maturity was not far north from the priesthood.

Soon I found the maturity I had only heard through the huge forest, and I saw a man bringing dogs and wolves to the far gate.

This must be the place where we were supposed to meet the king of the wilderness.

I took a short breath and approached the maturity.

What's wrong? You don't look so good.

The thief who was following me asked.

After a moment of deliberation, I answered truthfully.

“I don't know who I'm helping. It's vague.”

Hmm... I was too stubborn, wasn't I?

“I know. ”

Honestly, what am I supposed to say?

Feeling exploited?

Yeah, that sounds more like a swing.

Of course, he knew there was no malice in the thief's behavior.

The thief was the lamp that lit up the new world for me, and a colleague I had to rely on going forward.

Where is that?

Recently, I pretended to have 200,000 points for me and Mathis, and the gift of a thief was never light given that most players didn't even give skills for their warriors.

Nevertheless, there was a strange stiffness.

Is it because you've been ruled by another will for seven years?

Acting without hearing anything was not very pleasant.

I'm sorry. I didn't realize attempts were that sensitive. Well... I guess so. because they thought seven years of experience was unpleasant.

“It's okay. We know we can't reveal the truth. That's what Mathis said. ”

What about the saint?

“How many people can I trust more than you? So I need you to trust me. He... h-feels like you're his mother-in-law. ”

My mother-in-law?

He asked as if the thief was curious.

It was a rather unfamiliar metaphor, I must say.

“That's what I'm saying. I take care of things, I rejoice in our relationship, anyway. You're not my mother, are you? ”

What a joke. Thank you for taking it lightly.

“It's literally between us. Let's talk about this next time. ”

Okay, he was so great, I was so greedy.

“We'll see how great you are. ”

I laughed lightly and drove the horse.

I had no choice but to take care of it and go see Mathis anyway.

I saw her again this morning, but I don't know whose girlfriend she is or who she is.

Welcome.

“There you are.”

I've arrived at the gates of the great city.

“Grrr……. ”

A mastiff hound with his cheeks hanging around me, and a dairy wolf with yellow eyes shrugged his ears.

Thanks to you, I was afraid of only the horses I was riding.

There were two monsters, so I was afraid of them.

There are no players following us. You don't want to get caught, do you?

That'll work for you, too.

The man and the thief spoke.

Beneath the gate, the castle was so tall that it could not lift its head high.

“But can I leave it open like this? It hasn't been opened in centuries. ”

“I don't have the men to defend the gate. Get off the horse, by the way. ”

“Walk in? ”

“No. Words don't feel so good. You may run headfirst into the plague. Borrow his back instead. Gard.”

“Knng.”

A large hunting dog approaches the man's horse.

I spilled a man's load on the horse.

“I know the name of the dog, but I don't know your name. Do we have to keep calling him King of the Wilderness? ”

Hehe. Saints do that.

In my words, the thief asked.

The king of the wilderness sits on a big wolf, shining his blue eyes.

“Call me King, then. Call me King.”

“Oh, no castle. There's no last name more than a dog's. ”

“Leave the horses nearby. There are no beasts to be enemies anyway. ”

“Why?”

“Everyone fled before we could escape this castle. Animal instinct is something you can't ignore. ”

The king replied with a large back plate.

Where's the plague?

A thief came into the castle.

A beautiful city springs up on a hill a little farther, and that's where the Gaians used to live.

“There doesn't seem to be any plague. The field dungeon wasn't even activated. ”

He said, passing through the green meadow.

There are no rotting corpses and no garbage around.

But it was strangely quiet.

A quiet ghost city as if all living creatures had left.

That's exactly how I felt.

I guess we didn't make it this far. You'll see soon enough.

“Looks like they didn't come all the way down here. You'll see soon enough. Follow me carefully.”

King looked behind him and replied.

The wolf who was leading was also vigilant with his head held high.

String!

A lime in your bag pops out.

Lime climbs over his head and moves around.

“What about the slime? ”

The king on the wolf is interested.

A druid or a Tamer?

I guess all monsters like it.

“The one I've been carrying around with me. It's Poison Slime, so it's immune to poison attacks. ”

Tie, tie, tie!

Lime jumps up and down.

Hoho. Poison Slime is Hailor. What a mystery.

Hehe. He's a brilliant friend.

Even the voice of the thief did not spare the praise of Lime.

So far, it's been a quiet village.

“... Knng! ”

“Knng, knng!"

At that moment, the two beasts that were moving well stopped.

“Come on. ”

I looked around, too, on top of the hound.

Did something come up?

Monsters with Plague?

But there was nothing around.

The king stared at the front for a long time.

Then he looks up at you as if he has found something.

That's it. That's the plague in our castle.

“There he is. Step down from the dog and approach slowly. ”

The king sitting on the wolf said.

I don't see anything here.

Following his lead, you step down from the dog, passing by the big wolf and into the front.

“Ah.”

And I found out what he said.

Something with a very transparent color.

There was something extraordinary between the building and the building, and the area that came into contact with it was black.

But the boundary was so clear.

Like some seals, there were clear boundaries between plague and non-plague.

Magically blocked it? Don't let it get to you?

Wrong. That's what the plague looks like. I can't see anything right now, so if you stay still, you'll be swallowed up all at once.

That's why you abandoned the castle? I don't know when I'll get beat up if I run properly.

Yes, it was a choice to protect my people.

I focused on the two voices.

In fact, the plague was invisible.

Of course, other epidemics were the same, but the difference between where and where they were affected was clear.

The tree rots and the soil discolors, and the white wall is blackened by the flames.

Circumstances that can only distinguish boundaries into affected areas.

Seeing that nothing's changed, is it stopping now?

It looks more magical than plague.

Even though it was meaningless to distinguish plague from magic in this world in the first place.

If you don't have a clear solution, don't go near it. We can't help you.

“Be careful. You don't know when to move. ”

The king on the wolf said.

The dog and wolf snore and look around.

“Is this moving? ”

“Move very slowly. It's like the speed of a child walking. But if you're stunned because you can't see it, you're going to get stung. In fact, many of the people who slept at home were killed by the plague. ”

“It looks more like magic than plague...... What about the symptoms? ”

“Symptoms are death. Suffer pain and die as soon as you touch it. And then it slowly dissipates and becomes dust. There's nothing left alive. We can't even recover a family corpse. ”

King replied with a bold face.

However, this plague was not far from me because I was afraid of it.

“Well, is it transmitted through infected people, or is there a host, or something like that? You have blisters on your skin, you spit blood, you have a lot of other symptoms. ”

I turned to the dark area and asked.

They didn't even know if there was a field dungeon.

He would, too, since everyone but the King was an Aboriginal.

I didn't even know if the dungeon was active until I went in there myself.

That's a pretty professional question. But there isn't. It just rots. Like death itself.

The King's Player replied:

I really didn't know anything.

But the player's words were not the end.

I just know where it's coming from.

What do you mean, plague?

The thief asked what the man said.

I don't know why I'm telling you now.

A long time ago, there was a desert east of the Wall. It was a desert where no life existed for a very long time. But all the creatures that went in there died. Strong or weak.

Did you mean something that made that desert... came down here?

If only there was a plague that made the desert. I think it's the same as this.

‘Hmm……. ’

I frowned and shot the plague.

The death itself that makes deserts....

It felt like an instant curse.

Maybe that field dungeon is active, too. Of course, I didn't know until I went inside. I told you before, didn't I? Some bosses are affected by Mana, but there is a dungeon affected by the boss. Rarely, but most likely the latter.

It's sharp.I want to check the inside, but I need my warriors to get in there. It's hard.

“So you want me to come in? ”

I listened quietly and muttered.

The player snores and replies.

You're a decent Human.How dare you come at us?

Hehe. That's the charm of trying.

The thief smiles in a relaxed voice.

“W-what, back off! The plague is moving!”

Then the king who was watching from behind cried out.

“Grrr……. ”

The dogs and wolves who were watching his every move retreated.

String!

Limes on your shoulders, too! Bounced up.

Pass…….

A few steps away from the plague moved.

The black soot came along the slow step backwards, and stopped as I took ten steps back.

It was just as King had said.

It was no different from the speed at which a person walked.

It's a new kind of magic. I don't really know what the plague is.

The thief mutters in a strange voice.

I smiled and answered her.

“This isn't the first time. You said you don't know everything these days. ”

Hehe, isn't it too much?

“Probably the same this time. It looks like a plague, but it's not a plague. Rich or something stronger? Maybe……. ”

Could it be the work of the Devil...?

“I think the same thing. ”

The last time I saw Evenfloris, I immediately remembered the devil.

The player of the King has struggled for a long time, but nothing comes to mind but the devil, except a very special creature.

“What are you talking about? With whom?"

The king looked at me muttering.

“I'm listening to my heart just like you. ”

“You're a strange man. ”

“Anyway, can this be cured? ”

“What kind of healing? ”

“Heels and purification. You don't think there's a Hiller in Guy, do you? You said you worshipped power. ”

“Ah, that's the story. There was a healer with a Purification A rank. ”

“But?”

“Dead. Before the plague was identified, the city center was swarmed with plague. Thanks to you, everyone inside is dead. Unfortunately, the healers' residence was in it. ”

Hmm... So you're saying that healing might not work if you didn't die without birds to heal?

The thief's voice adds a comment.

The situation is symptomatic and you know nothing about the possibility of a cure.

I had to hit them all.

“I can't help it. I need to find out what this is first. If I can adapt, I can disassemble it into Mana. ”

Hehe. That's refreshing.

Is that even possible? You're better than I thought.

You'd be more surprised.

I listened to the two stories and approached the plague.

A ten step plague consumed the city ten more steps.

“Surprised, by the way? I thought you'd run off and get the plague. ”

I asked Lime on the shoulder.

I used to love poison all the time, but now I don't see him running around on his shoulders.

Wasn't it poison in the first place?

The instant curse, as I had anticipated?

However, I experienced that curses affecting the body were also accepted as a kind of ‘poison’ and could be adapted to 'understanding poison' as much as possible.

At worst, there's a belt called Great Hill.

You take a little deep breath, then stick out your index finger.

I'll have a little taste first.

“Ugh... If you go that close...! ”

The king who was watching was surprised.

Either way, I put my finger in a transparent void.

[Deururu... ….]

It's been a long time since I heard a dice.

[…… 1, 1. Total 2. Major Failure.]

[Double. Roll the dice again.]

The beginning began lightly with a great failure.

But it didn't matter.

My big failure, it's not a big failure.

[…… 1, 1. Total 2. Major Failure.]

[Double. One more time with the dice…….]

[1, 1. Total 2. Major Failure.]

[Double. One more time with the dice…….]

[1, 1. Total 2. Major Failure.]

[Double. One more time with the dice…….]

…….

I heard a lot of dice in my head.

The soot starting from your fingertips flows with your right hand, and slowly spreads to the back of your hand.

Is it because the dice were too long, by the way?

The rate at which symptoms spread was slower than the rate at which the results were produced.

Try……?

The thief who was watching said.

The dice were not returned until the end of the sentence.

[…… 1, 1. Total 2. Major Failure.]

[Double. One more time with the dice…….]

[1, 1. Total 2. Major Failure.]

[Double. One more time with the dice…….]

…….

Oh, are you holding out? This is amazing! I can't believe I'm standing here naked like this!

“Woman, are you going to survive the plague? You look amazing! You're an epidemiologist! ”

The king and the player watching were excited.

But this didn't last.

I was just delayed because I didn't get the dice.

Are you okay? Something's not right.

The thief's voice asks.

In fact, an ominous aura approaches.

The scattered soot already swallowed my elbow, and it seemed to climb up my forearm to my shoulder.

Nevertheless, the sound of the dice did not stop.

I've heard this story dozens of times.

What if this number is over 100?

Will you be safe from the possibility of a penalty?

‘ ……. ’

At that moment, I remembered the Northern European hearings that were extinguished by a probable penalty.

[1, 1. Total 2. Major Failure.]

[Double. One more time with the dice…….]

…….

We shouldn't have let this go.

“Hehe!”

Puck!

You quickly make a Poison Blade and slam it on the right shoulder.

The black arm falls to the ground, and as soon as it touches the ground, it becomes dust and disappears.

At the same time, the dice that were ringing in my ears stopped.

Is it going to end this way?

[…… cumulative 102.]

[Transcendent success occurs.]

[Above probability value: 102]

The time has come to settle.

“Damn…… Great……! ”

I used Jahl's heel to scare my mind back.

His heart palpitates, choking at the tip of his chin, and a white light erupts from the inside of his chest.

At that moment, everything felt slow.

This could not be stopped by healing.

‘Ah.'

That's when I remembered the thought.

I moved into action without going through my brain.

“Dice!”

[Dice. Change the dice result.]

[Deururu... ….]

The moment slows down.

The slowly cracking chest catches my eye, and the light of Great Hill wraps around my chest.

However, the white broken breasts did not recover.

Again, Great Hill was unable to lift the possibility penalty.

[…… Screaming.]

[1, 3. Total 4. Failure. I was in an abyss.]

[Abyssal Resistance +1.]

…… Phew!

I came back as if my chest had been swirled back with frightening results.

His flesh, which had been scattered to dust, recovered in no time, and his breath hit the tip of his chin, causing a huge shock to his heart.

Thung!

“Huff!”

It was the same moment I saw in the movie.

[Above probability value: 2]

“Hic!”

I coughed and fell to the ground.

A head full of blood was tingling, and a heart came back pounding.

I would have died here if I hadn't changed the numbers so quickly.

Try! Try! Are you okay? What was that...!

Surprised Bandits shout.

String!

The lime on my head came running.

Bar, what just happened? That was not an epidemic! Penalties like ours……?

“Are you all right? What's going on? I thought your heart exploded! ”

The king who was far away ran.

I was away from the plague, and I panicked at my crisis.

“Ahh... Damn... I'm fine... Hah... ”

I breathed and took a breather.

The bust that was clearly pierced was still blocked.

Obviously, the result that went up to ‘102 was modified to‘ 4. ’

But what's the big failure in numbers?

Is it really an instant curse?

‘Phew……. ’

Calms the itchy head.

If I had cut off my arm quickly and not changed the result to dice God, I would have died because of my strength.

Are you sure you're okay? Talk to me!

The thief I was watching was worried.

I slowly raised my head to clear my mind.

After a dangerous moment, I had hope.

“It's all right. But I have information about the plague. ”

I don't know anything else, but I got the resistance of this plague ‘1’.

From now on, it was time to counter the plague called "The Abyss."
