Episode 204 Salvation for me (1)
A battlefield is a place where it is difficult even for skilled people to survive.
Even well-trained soldiers die from blind arrows.
The girl who was left alone in such a place was truly a flashlight.
The hand holding the sword trembled, and if someone around him got cut by the sword, he would close his eyes tightly.
I wondered how long I could live with that level of behavior.
Swords are pouring so much that you can’t even see an inch in front of your eyes, and more than that, death is exploding around you.
Some people often leave the battlefield without looking back, and others pursue him as if possessed by something.
It was as if everyone on the battlefield had gone mad.
To a young girl, such a scene was a great stimulus.
Then, when a wounded young man staggered towards her, in terror she unconsciously swung her sword.
Pulseok –
The sword was embedded in the young man’s shoulder with a dull blow that made it hard to believe that it had been struck with a sword.
It must have been stuck in the bone because it didn’t have all the strength.
It was only one attack, but the opponent died.
Even if it wasn’t, I was seriously hurt. The sword was lodged in his shoulder, but his level was not high enough to prolong his life.
After that, the panicked girl somehow escaped the battlefield, just like when her parents died before her eyes.
That was the first murder.
* * *
Killing got used to it.
Even though the thick scent of blood squeezes into the nose, it doesn’t bother me at all.
she swung her sword
Several mercenaries fell to her living sword that survived countless battlefields.
He didn’t care even though his face, which had melted from the aftermath of the burns, was splattered with blood.
After spending five years on the battlefield like that, he got a small title.
‘Undead.’
It was nicknamed because he came back alive from any battlefield and had a ferocious face like an undead.
That is definitely true.
Looking at it right now, he’s murdering, but he has no feelings.
Just like a dead person.
As usual, he sent all the profits he earned from going to and from the battlefield to an orphanage.
The order given by the imprint of the master and servant cannot be disobeyed.
I couldn’t get rid of it even with the mana training method that I accidentally obtained and learned, so it was frustrating and crazy.
One day an old man clicked his tongue and said,
“Tsk tsk tsk. It’s really sad at such a young age.”
“…”
“If you see him covering his neck on a hot day like this, he’s probably a slave.”
When he said nothing, the old woman continued.
“Aren’t you curious about how to unlock the imprint?”
It’s a way to unlock the master/servant’s imprint. Is there such a thing?
I’m really curious if there is
“Crush that mana orb hanging around your neck. If so, the bond between master and servant will also be cut off. Of course, that would be if it could be broken.”
After saying that, the old man walked away.
However, it was just useless advice.
It’s not once or twice that I’ve tried to break the necklace for five years.
I tried to use my sword and tried to concentrate all the mana in my body, but it was useless.
It must be that there is still no way to break this curse.
With that thought in mind, I wandered around the battlefield again.
One person collapses with the feeling of the sword cutting through the skin.
There was no time to check it, and other people rushed in front of it, so it could be said that it was a real mess.
Looking at it this way, he was lucky again.
It was the same in the first battlefield, and it is still the same now.
If you see that you can survive without any major injuries.
As I entered the dilapidated house and lay down casually, I felt a fever rising from my body.
Wouldn’t it be like this if you die? I felt like doing it.
Well, I thought it wouldn’t be bad to die like this.
Looking back, I wonder why I worked so hard to survive.
Her consciousness drifted quietly away from the unpleasant heat and thick dampness.

After completing the pilgrimage, Ray’s expression toward the castle looked bright.
Now you can act freely during your stay in the Kingdom of Celia.
At the thought of meeting his parents and meeting Aira, his mind was already in the flower field.
As the night deepened and they stayed overnight in a nearby village, they each went around the village.
He, too, has been confined to the wagon for a while, and his body is sore.
I left Iriel sleeping in the inn and came out.
It was not a very prosperous town, so there was no fancy feeling.
As I wandered around and snooped around, the Paladins pretended to know.
“Where are you going?”
“I just wanted to get some wind.”
“I’ll attach an escort right away.”
“It’s okay. I’ll be back soon, so take a rest.”
“ha ha ha. All right. Please go.”
Now that they’re with Ray, they’ve gained some flexibility.
Although this is also acceptable because it is the words of a saint.
As his son-in-law quietly looked at the night sky in a dark place, he felt a weak presence.
However, the presence itself is very unpleasant.
It seems that dense life is accumulated as it is… It’s like a wild horse that can’t be tamed.
‘Are you a mercenary? I’m too weak to say that…’
As I moved my steps and headed there, a single lung appeared.
It seems to have entered quite an alley.
It is a wonder that there is a house in a place like this.
The door was left open as if someone had entered.
He politely knocked on the open door.
Knock-knock-
“Who is…”
Quaang-
The door fell without even being able to connect the words.
no god
What a ruined house it is that the door breaks with just one knock!
“…I didn’t do this.”
When I carefully entered the room with a mysterious transfer of responsibility, what appeared to be a human figure was lying there.
When I got closer and looked at his face, I was sure it was a person.
However, the distorted face from the burns and the scars embroidered all over the body were enough to make even the gender unclear.
“Ha… ha…”
He took a quick look at his breathing.
‘I have a fever. Besides, the pulse is irregular.’
As if it was difficult to breathe, he continued to vomit in vain.
Ray undid her front lip.
Things that might interfere with breathing had to be excluded.
It was the same with the necklace hanging around his neck.
“I’m sorry I broke this. I will apologize properly later.”
When I lightly pulled it with mana, the necklace that resisted for a moment was released without power.
The marble in the center exploded, but as he protected it with mana, the fragments were no threat.
With the woman’s chin slightly lifted, the restraint of the divine power was loosened.
“Air. Wind.”
The air, amazingly purified by divine power, flowed into her like an oxygen respirator.
Fortunately, it didn’t seem like anything was wrong.
It’s not pneumonia because I don’t cough, and it’s not otitis media because I don’t see any inflammation in my ears.
If anything else, it might be something like meningitis, but since there are no signs of vomiting around, it’s unlikely.
Overall, it was just a loss of consciousness due to high fever.
Ray took off his clothes and laid them on the floor.
However, as it is made of luxurious silk, it looks thin, but it is okay in its own way.
He laid the woman on it and took off a layer of her clothes.
It is helpful to wear as thin as possible when lowering the heat.
Since there is no antipyretic, there is no way to get her to take medication, but if she has mana in her body with just this amount of treatment, she will be able to get up from her seat.
He tore off his sleeve and wet it in one corner.
“Clean. Water.”
It is a substitute for a towel.
When I squeezed one out and put it on my forehead, my expression relaxed as if I felt better at the cold touch.
Even so, it still made an ugly impression.
You need to drink enough fluids before dehydration occurs.
Now that I had no fabric to use, I had no choice but to use the clothes she was wearing.
It was made clean using clean magic and soaked in water.
Carefully squeeze it into your mouth and gulp it well.
“Because of this, it reminds me of when I nursed Aira.”
With old memories, a rare laugh came out.
Has five hours passed so quickly?
Just as she was about to change the towel on her head, she drool.
“Ummm…”
Is consciousness returning?
Sensing the touch of a wet towel on her head, she jumped up from her seat.
‘Who is it? I was so relieved.’
He scolded himself for casually falling down and put his hand on the handle of the sword at his waist.
However, it is impossible for the sword to remain there.
Various (?), including the sword, have already been dismantled by Ray’s hand.
“Don’t move. The fever has just subsided, so it is better to lie still.”
“….”
In Ray’s hand, who spoke anxiously, her clothes, which were used as wet towels, were hanging.
Naturally, the gaze goes down to one’s body.
Then, at a glance, he saw himself wearing only underwear.
Is it a pervert? It will be a pervert!
No pervert for sure!
After a few accidents, she shouted, having judged Ray as a rare and rare horse in the world.
“You pervert!”
“Pervert! You perverted the person who took care of you!”
“Shut up, pervert!”
A hand full of mana came raining down on my chest.
Ray, who had an unfair expression on his face, brushed it off lightly.
In the first place, the density itself was different.
The Sword Master waved his hand away, and the Bone Dragon’s tongue licked, and his enormous mana pushed her hand away.
‘what……!’
He retrieved his hand from the ridiculous force and immediately kicked up his waist.
Even Ray was surprised by the smooth move using the recoil force.
It is a considerable improvisation.
However, unlike him, mana was so crude that it was enough to block it without avoiding it.
Grabbing her feet, he put her back on her seat.
“Leave this…!”
“Hold.”
With a short start, the body stopped as if it had hardened.
The doctor in the previous life and the saint in the present life, who forcibly hardened and calmed the patient, explained the situation.
“Listen. I swear I didn’t do anything to you. Rather, he took care of you.”
“…”
I couldn’t hear the answer because my body was stiff, but the gaze that seemed to kill was still the same.
How did he interpret that? Ray nodded and smiled contentedly.
“great. I’m glad you understand.”
“…”
“Oh and this…”
he said, holding up the necklace that had come undone from her neck and the shard of the bead in the center.
“I’m really sorry if it’s important. The situation seemed urgent, so I tried to solve it, but it exploded. I don’t know if I can compensate… If possible, I will compensate you as much as possible.”
“……!”
Her expression turned to shock.
So far, I have been to and from many battlefields and asked the masters, but there was not a single one who could solve it.
The amount of mana tied to the medium of the mana orb was amazing, but since it was originally a complex spell, it was considered that it was inevitable that it could not be solved.
But did you blow it up? How much ridiculous mana do you have to have to be able to do that!
Will it become the royal chief mage!
Thinking she had calmed down somewhat, Ray broke the spell on her.
“Cancel.”
