Lesson 25: The Sacred Qi of the Labyrinth of the Water Moon

I feel demonic powers pouring into my body, as usual.

I guess I feel that running a lot more powerful than usual because my opponent was too mighty.

Even so, if it's silver, it's just the kind of opponent you'd easily defeat...

Well, still.

- Did you manage that?

I stare at the remains of a bone giant (Giant Skeleton) whose head is smashed and no longer faint, exhaling with relief.

Of course, this is a metaphorical expression, my lungs aren't moving properly.

It's a matter of mood.

However, unlike when I was a boner (skeleton), there seems to be no doubt that it's there, but it's definitely not working as well as a living person.

It's obvious from the fact that I don't feel I inhaled it no matter how much I tried to inhale it.

Well, still, when I wave a weapon, etc., I move my body consciously breathing.

It's a habit, so you won't have a choice.

I just say that some masters can read people's movements by breathing, and if I'm going for the Divine Silver (Mithril) class, I have to stick with what I say.

Given that, should I fix it a little? I also think......

Well, so far, okay?

More than that, it's that guy now.

Probably a man who ran into a bone giant (Giant Skeleton) and thought he had been wounded.

If you don't do first aid or anything soon, you could die.

He seemed to have breath earlier, but now I don't know......

That's what I thought, approached him, and when I looked at him, the wound seemed shallower than I thought.

Still, when I touch it, the flank bone seems to be broken, and one leg bone is hit.

If left alone, he would definitely die, so much so that he was seriously injured.

But here I am.

I can't use healing magic, but I feel holy.

Sorcery is said to be unusable if you learn how to use it well and you don't understand it from the theory, but Sacred Qi often works even if you use it instinctively rather.

That's why I, not a priest or anything, have been able to purify enough water since right after I was given it.

And I can do bigger things now.

Earlier, right after defeating the Bone Giant (Giant Skeleton), the flow of power felt.

This strengthens me.

The power of magic, chi, and holy chi that springs from the back of my body is much greater than it was before I fought the bone giant (Giant Skeleton), and there was something about this that I thought would...

This means that the wound is likely to heal.

The healing technique by the Sacred Qi is the domain of the clergy and is basically considered a miracle of God, a power not so many of the clergy with the Sacred Qi can use.

Because it is said that the quantity and quality of holy temper that can be held is proportional to faith, and that healing cannot be used without it being sufficient.

That is why priests who can use healing techniques are respected, and who, having more power than to some extent, become objects of reverence as saints, virgins.

From that point of view, it's a little odd that I seem to be able to use it.

Because I can't say I have such a deep faith.

Anyway, the reason I got holy is almost a coincidence brought on by whim, and I still appreciate it, but I can't even say I believe.

Yet my sanctity has increased dramatically compared to before.

I don't know what this means...... but it's not a bad thing.

Except for the fact that I'm the undead with this power, and I don't feel particularly crippled.

It would seem like an adventurer who sees things realistically and reasonably, if there's no problem with that.

Now, that's the beginning of the cure.

I have never used it.

To be honest, it's the first act of my life, and it's also subtle whether it's really possible.

I just know that you seem to be able to do it somehow.

I wonder if this is a sensory thing, but the water purification came in a similar way.

It would be the same thing.

Put your hands on the fainting man's body, on the fractured affected area, and wrap your holy temper around your palm, as you wrapped it around your sword earlier.

Blue and white phosphorescence shines my hands.

Over the gloves, but if I take this off, if it's a problem when I wake up, I'll keep it on for now.

If you can't, you can take it off then.

Fortunately, even over a thick cloth of gloves, Holy Qi seems to work well.

The fracture, the area that was beginning to turn red and black, gradually regains color, and the skewed bone also returns to its correct position one by one.

To be honest, I don't know how long it will take to fully heal, so somehow this will be okay, so I stop, and now I move my hand from my stomach to my feet.

And in the same way when I activated the holy temper, the fractured part of my leg still gradually changed from morbid redness and blackness to skin tone, and it became so beautiful that I didn't know it was fractured as if it were painfully.

... Is it healed?

Do it yourself, I don't know what it's like.

but it seems to be healing.

Well, even if it wasn't entirely fast, it's not so bad.

You know, to remind me of what it looked like earlier, now I think I can manage to get back home even if I leave you alone, that's about it.

That said, I moved it all of a sudden. I knew it was still fractured, so not good.

In the meantime, I thought you should wait till you wake up and make sure the guy doesn't have any pain before you go back.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"... uhh... this, this...?

There was no way to wake up after a little shaking and I was too shabby with my hands until I woke up, so I could hear that in my ear observing if there was anything around me.

Apparently, a man woke up.

Seeing it, I approached the man.

"... meh, zah, meh...?

Talking like that, the man nodded,

"Oh... what the hell is this place... yeah, that big boner (skeleton)... whoa! Sticky......"

Apparently his consciousness has become clear, and the man who opened his eyes and shouted so, holds his belly in pain.

Apparently, from the reaction, my healing wasn't completely cured.

Well, it's a burning blade.

It wouldn't even have such a big effect.

Looks like you should go to the hospital later.

While I was thinking about it, I told the man,

"... me, but I, I... this guy, but, geez, this is it"

With that said, it is a demonic stone the size of a palm.

After defeating the Bone Titan (Giant Skeleton), the remains were fished and found.

It was a hassle to look for because I had splashed my head and it was lost in it, but I had plenty of time.

As a result, I was able to find it.

It was something big, because it affects me.

The man saw it, and with a surprised face,

"... that's a gold equivalent demon stone... I guess I'll have to appraise the details... after all, that was all the big stuff..."

Sure, only if you look at the Demon Stone, but I doubt you had that much strength.

If that were the case, I probably wouldn't have defeated him either.

I think this is a rare drop because I was lucky.

Sometimes.

That some long-established demons hide higher-quality demon stones in their bodies than normal.

This time the Bone Giant (Giant Skeleton) was probably found because it had been abandoned for quite some time.

Anyway, it's definitely a good demon stone that's going to sell for a pretty high price.

And then, as a man,

"... with all those demonic stones... no"

I said something and shut my mouth.

I know what you're trying to say.

This can probably be sold for more than fifteen gold coins.

I mean, a man's debt would be chara.

But the man couldn't tell me to give it to him.

That would be the case.

It's just that I tell a man.

"... if, yes, you can do it, you can do it"

Of course, I'm not just going to.
