How to Live as an Illegal Healer Chapter 23

23. Unstoppable Bleeding 3

“Potion?”

“yes. As you can see, it is an ordinary potion.”

As Kang Seung-hyeon shook the potion bottle, a sharp and refreshing scent of peppermint wafted out. Heiss frowned, as if he didn’t like the smell of mint.

“What else is that nasty smell? Is it air freshener?”

“A cure to stop the bleeding. It’s a temporary measure.”

“It’s ridiculous.”

Heiss shook his head in exasperation.

“It’s a wound that doesn’t heal, so you’re going to use a potion on it?”

“Heal doesn’t work, so I use a potion.”

“joy! No matter how much I drink potions…”

“Ah, don’t you know Priest Huis?”

“what?”

“This is not a drinking potion.”

Seunghyun Kang frowned and said.

“It’s not that I can’t eat it… but it’s not something I’d recommend.”

To put it simply, it is a taste with a pungent aroma added to the sour taste. Who would want to eat something like this?

“Drinking or not, what does it matter! There’s no use using potions or anything like that!”

“Oh, stop making noise.”

“What is it?”

“Look at it and then tell me.”

Blasphemy!

Kang Seung-hyun didn’t wait for Huis’ answer and broke the potion bottle. The potion bottle shattered and a thick light green liquid poured out.

[Absorption]

When Seunghyeon Kang activated [Absorption], the pouring liquid disappeared without a trace.

‘Once absorbed…’

Kang Seung-hyun approached Lena and stretched out his hand.

[Spraying]

A deep light green aura came out and covered Lena’s leg wound.

“This can’t be…”

Soon after, the bleeding subsided little by little.

Great!

And finally.

When Kang Seung-hyeon used the second potion bottle, the unstoppable bleeding stopped like a lie.

It was a wound that even the highest-ranking priest of the Iver Church could not do anything about.

“Nonsense! The blood has stopped!!”

“Heal didn’t work either… With a potion like this?”

Everyone looked at Kang Seung-hyun in disbelief.

‘Hell almighty would faint if they saw something like this.’

This is the pleasure of Yamae Healer.

Kang Seung-hyun opened his mouth enjoying 100% job satisfaction.

“Even if you do this, Priest Huis, are potions useless?”

“Keep…”

Unlike Kang Seung-hyun, Huis couldn’t open his mouth. I shouted that things like potions were useless, but before I could finish, I saw the bleeding stopped.

‘How can I open my mouth.’

He had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

“Of course, this is only a temporary measure… But anyway, the bleeding has stopped.”

“How on earth…”

The words spoken by Huis, who barely opened his mouth, were too miserable to be the words of a first-class priest of the Iver Church.

“Bleeding that didn’t work even with a heal… with something like a potion…!”

He had to admit with his own mouth that heal was worse than potion. It is a huge humiliation for a proud healer.

“Are you curious?”

“Of course I’m curious!”

“It’s not that great.”

“If you don’t want to see this old man explode, tell me now!”

Heiss shouted as if he was about to collapse.

“Before that, I’ll explain why Lena-san’s blood didn’t stop even after using a heel.”

In fact, it doesn’t matter why the potion worked. The important thing here is why the heel didn’t work.

“It’s because of a foreign object.”

“A foreign object?”

“There is a foreign substance inside the body, so even if you use a heel, the bleeding doesn’t stop properly.”

For a very simple reason. It was because there was a foreign substance in Lena’s body.

Heal is a skill that heals wounds, not a skill that removes foreign substances.

“If you use a heel on a patient with a blade stuck in it, it will only slightly increase their lifespan.”

For proper treatment, the foreign body must be removed.

“But there’s no way the person in question wouldn’t know if there was something like a splinter inside.”

“That’s right. I’ve never had anything stuck. If I did, I would have known…”

Lena agreed with Huis. He said he had never been stabbed or pierced by anything other than being attacked by a stone mole.

“It depends on what kind of foreign substance it is.”

If it is a foreign object, such as a knife blade or shrapnel, the patient will notice it. But it’s not that ordinary.

The party did not notice.

cause continuous bleeding.

Absolutely no pain whatsoever.

‘If you add the information from the [Observation Eye] to this, you’ll get an answer.’

[Infection] [Bleeding]

[There are sharp teeth marks left at the site of the sharp cut.] [

It is so small that it is difficult to recognize at first glance.]

look.”

“Umm…”

“There are other scars left at the wound site.”

“I heard it and it seems that way.”

A bite from a very small tooth. It was such a small wound that you would have to look really closely to see it.

“I was bitten by something very small and it stopped bleeding… typical worm infestation.”

If you listen to the story, you can quickly infer. If it’s an insect infection, it’s not strange if the person in question doesn’t notice.

“Infection…?”

“A burr bug?”

“Did you just say that? They say they passed through the swamp of Meika.”

“Yes…”

Lena nodded.

Meika Swamp is a typical swamp area near Hind Village.

‘In Kaitheo Jungle, they were chased by jungle goblins, and in Myka Swamp, they were chased by crocodiles…’

They passed Myka Swamp before coming to Hind Village. Due to the nature of the terrain, swamps are a place where many bug monsters live.

“I heard they ran away without first aid because they were being chased by a group of crocodiles.”

“yes. I was too distracted…”

“Then you must have left your wounds and jumped into the swamp.”

“ah…! So only Lena!”

Lizzie, who was behind, shouted with a surprised face.

“Actually, Fell and I were also attacked by stone moles. But I thought it was strange that only Lena was in bad shape…” ”

…If that’s the case, then this situation is understandable.”

“What is it? For what reason?”

Both Lizzie and Huis seem to have finally noticed. Only the man named Pell next to him had a puzzled face.

“I, a kind healer, will explain this to you.”

Kang Seung-hyun decided to explain very kindly.

“You said Mr. Lizzie and Mr. Pell were also attacked by stone moles, right?”

“yes. It heals quickly, so it doesn’t even show.”

“Where are you hurt?”

“I hurt the back of my hand and Lizzie scratched her cheek.”

Fell showed the back of his hand. Minor scratches on stone mole claws. Lizzie also had a scratch on her cheek if you looked closely.

“Actually, this is normal. How painful it is to scratch a stone mole with its claws.”

Originally, it was a wound that did not even require meeting a healer. In fact, both of their wounds were nearly healed, so you couldn’t tell unless you looked very closely.

“But why only Lena…?”

“Lena, you injured your leg. That’s the most important thing.”

“uh, ah!”

Fell shouted as if he had finally realized.

“Lizzie and I are above the waist, but only Lena hurt below the waist!”

In other words, Lena was the only person whose wound touched the water when she jumped into the swamp of Meika. Unlike the other two, he injured his leg. That’s why only Lena was infected by bugs.

“It would have been a little better if I had at least put a bandage on it.”

“Whew, if only we hadn’t been chased by monsters.”

In the end, the unlucky Lena jumped into the swamp injured and the ‘guy’ entered the body through the wound. And so far it has caused bleeding.

“It must have been a bug. I couldn’t even think of it.”

“me too. I thought you were just hurt.”

Lizzie and Fel muttered with serious faces. This is why no matter which healer you go to, it won’t get better.

“What was that potion? What the hell is that about and the bleeding has stopped…”

“Ah, is this?”

Seunghyun Kang took out another potion bottle from his inventory.

“Denttrol Peppermint Oil Concentrate. It is a homemade potion made by myself.”

A potion with a deep light green color and a sharp mint scent. Dentroll is a Hind village insecticide made from mint. Previously used to catch swarms of rats.

‘At that time, I didn’t have the time or materials, so I could only make one, but now I’ve prepared a box.’

It doesn’t matter if everyone here gets infected with bugs. It’s because I’ve made so many things to write.

“Weak bugs die just by using this. It is also easy to make.”

“At least to stop the bleeding with insecticide or something…”

“If the cause of the bleeding is an insect, you can just kill it.”

This is why Kang Seung-hyun used Denttrol peppermint oil on his wounds. If you can’t move, you can’t bleed.

“So… is it over now?”

“no. As I said before, this is a temporary measure. It only stopped movement for a very short time.”

Seunghyun Kang shook his head and said.

“You didn’t feel anything in the swamp as well as now, did you? If you bit my leg, it should have stung you.”

“Yeah… I had no idea.”

“That means he has an anesthesia skill.”

Among the monsters living in Meika Swamp, not many monsters have anesthesia skills. I don’t know if it’s a paralysis skill.

“Among them, there are no monsters that are weak enough to die in one hit.”

It is said that it is not just such a scavenger monster.

“Moreover, there are even fewer monsters that are small enough to parasitize on a human body while possessing anesthesia skills.”

A fairly powerful bug-type monster.

Its characteristics are vampirism and anesthesia.

Its habitat is the Meika Swamp.

If you put all of this together, you can see what kind of monster it will be.

‘If I can’t completely kill it with medicine, I have no choice but to take it out of the body.’

It is time for Dentrol Peppermint Oil to wear off. Seunghyun Kang quickly took out a knife.

[Incision]

Kang Seung-hyun cut the wound with a knife. Blood gushed out from where the knife had passed.

“Ugh…”

If it was an ordinary wound, it would have caused an uproar, but Lena didn’t feel any pain. He just watched his leg get ripped off by a knife as if it were someone else’s business.

‘With this, the anesthesia skill is confirmed.’

Because of the anesthesia skill, he couldn’t feel any pain.

Of course, the range is not that wide. I would have screamed right away if I had moved just a little bit around the wound.

‘There is only one monster with an anesthesia skill and a skill that can stop the blood from stopping at the same time!’

Chow!

“Heh heh heh…”

Lena muttered with a shocked face. A dark foreign substance wriggled and protruded from between the cracked pieces of flesh.

“Black Swamp Leech!”

This guy was the cause of the non-stop bleeding.
