259. Out of focus
“{Have you finished your treatment?}”
“{Wait a minute. I have something to check.}” “
{Hmm, my hands are great.}”
Kang Seung-hyun examined Alec’s hands closely.
Although the fingertips were cut thinly, the wound itself was not very deep, so it would recover cleanly if left alone.
‘If you use [Cure Judgment] here, you’ll recover completely within 20 minutes. Since Alec is a blood mage, it will take about 5 minutes.’
Recovery time 5 minutes.
At first glance, it sounds like it’s fast, but if you’re a normal healer, you can heal a wound like this as soon as you touch it.
‘That’s why my treatment, which takes 5 minutes for light scratches, is very lagging behind.’
However, if you use it in conjunction with [Out-Focus], you will be able to increase the recovery speed even slightly, which is inferior to the healing skill.
‘shall we start.’
Kang Seung-Hyun activated [Out-Focus] and [Cure Judgment] at the same time.
keying!
[Out-focus ON]
[Specify the area of effect.]
‘The wound on Alec’s fingertip.’
When Alec’s hand was designated as the skill range, he felt his hand more clearly, and at the same time,
he squeezed it.
The fingertips began to recover rapidly.
The healing process of the wound healing and the scab coming off happened in an instant, as if it had been fast-forwarded.
‘Now the time… Only 10 seconds have passed?’
It took only 10 seconds to get here.
The recovery speed, which should have been as short as 5 minutes, went down to less than 1 minute, even in seconds.
‘Are you completely crazy?’
Of course, since it’s a light wound, it’s hard to recover from serious injuries at this speed, and it’s still slower than normal healers.
However, it was like a miracle to Yamae Healer who lives without a heel.
“{was the wound healing so quickly? Is it because he’s a blood mage?}”
“{Kim hyung, even a blood mage can’t recover at this speed without a healing skill?}” “{
If that’s the case, no way!}” “
{Yes, this is my hidden power that I didn’t know about…!} ”
“{Of course not. It’s thanks to me.}”
Quickly cut the two people’s legs.
Kang Seung-Hyun explained the [Out-Focus] skill in more detail.
“{It’s a skill worth replacing with holy relics.}” “
{Then, from now on, anyone can be cured in the blink of an eye?}” “
{Ah, since the test subject is Alec, I don’t know what will happen to other people. }”
“{Test subject? Not a patient?}”
Blood magicians have better recovery than ordinary people.
Even Alec is a dimension mover, so he will be many times better than ordinary citizens of Azul.
“{Since Alec, the blood mage, takes 10 seconds, normal people will take longer.}” “{
I’m
also a normal person.}” “{Looks like everyone else has died.}” “
{Then you should test it on someone else as well. Because there might be side effects or disadvantages.}” “
{I want to experiment with my body, but I am a person with excellent resilience.}” “{
Then will I get hurt?}”
The thug smiled brightly and tapped his chest with his paw.
“{Hojeong Kim.}”
“{Huh? Why?}”
“{I want to experiment with ‘humans’}”
“%#@%!”
The gangster buried his head in the ground and cried.
“Um, stop! Any normal person over there?”
Then Alec pointed somewhere.
As I moved my gaze along my finger, there was a thief who had been abandoned by my colleagues earlier, scattered in the corner of the forest.
“Iknow, right? He is a normal person.”
“What is it…”
“Please cooperate for a moment.”
Kang Seung-hyeon approached the thieves with a smile.
-After that, with the cooperation of an unknown bandit member A, Kang Seung-hyun was able to test the connection between [Out-Focus] and [Cure Judgment].
– Aaaaaaaa!
-Ahhhh!?
– Kahaaaak! Aww!
-I’d rather hand it over to the Adventurers Guild!!!
A lot happened in the process, but it was not a particularly important story, so I moved on.
“{It will depend on the patient’s physical condition, but it takes about 30 seconds to recover from a light scratch.}”
Stamina is so broken that it would be difficult to use it often, but I learned that it can be shortened to 27 seconds by overlapping [Circulation].
“{27 seconds? That’s amazing!}
” “{Considering that the normal healing skill is 1 second, it’s incomparably slower, but this is enough.}”
Kang Seung-hyun smiled.
This time, I’m sure it’s because I tested it with an ordinary person from the Azul continent, not a dimension-shifting blood mage.
“I’d rather kill the car…”
the thief who was lying around muttered weakly. The body has recovered, but it seems that there is no energy for some reason.
“{That guy looks a little tired.}”
“{Because you need plenty of rest and a balanced meal to recover.}”
Unlike normal healing skills that restore the body by injecting holy power, [Cure Judgment] increases the body’s recovery power. It’s a skill that raises you, so you’ll be very hungry after recovery.
“{Stamina potions only replenish stamina, but not satiety…. If you’re going to use them in battle, you’ll need to pack emergency food.}” “{
Well, you have to eat well to be healthy.}” ”
{Careful if there is a cook in the party. I don’t think you need to write it.}”
We talked about this and that and sorted out the situation.
To sum up, [Out Focus] is a scam.
Tuk tuk.
Then it started raining from the sky.
“{Oh, it’s cold!}”
“{It’s raining.}”
“{Wow, camping in the rain is terrible.}”
At the same time, black smoke rose and Kim Ho-jung returned to normal.
“Oh, Kim. I became a person.”
“Oh… it’s real!”
“I feel like I became a person in just two or three months. It’s only been three or four days at most, right?”
“I’m back! at las!”
Kim Ho-jung was very happy and shouted.
As if he was quite happy to be back as a human, he started slapping himself on the cheek.
“Please don’t let me die for a long time next time…”
“Congratulations. Since I don’t want to keep getting rained on, let’s go to a restaurant somewhere.”
Since Kim Ho-jung has returned as a human, there is no reason to wander in the grass.
“….”
“Oh, what is that friend going to do?”
Just as he was about to leave the forest, Kim Ho-jeong pointed to a member of the bandit lying on the floor.
“Since you cooperated, let’s take a look. I will save you.”
“Thank you!”
Tadadat!
He jumped up from his seat and ran away.
As if I had been waiting for this moment.
Tadadat.
But after about 10 seconds, it came running again.
“Hey there… can you take me to the village?”
“You want me to take you?”
I guess I was afraid to go back alone.
It’s late now, and I don’t have any comrades by my side.
“You said you were going to the city restaurant, right? I’ll buy you some food! Please don’t throw it away!”
“I can’t help but eat.”
Kang Seung-hyun and his party escaped the forest to avoid a sudden shower.
Taking the abandoned bandits is a bonus.
-“Ordered Cabbage Port Feu Char-grilled Whole Wild Boar Coleslaw Egg Pasta Duck Mushroom Stir-Fried Chili Stew Mushroom Skewers Raspberry Tart Fruit Salad Honey Muffin Potato Soufflé Butter Potato Pancake… And beer.”
Kang Seung-hyeon and his party headed to the Horseshoe Inn in the city of Karon.
It’s not as good as Beats Falls Inn, but the owner’s cooking skills are quite good, so it’s a must-visit restaurant when you stop by Karon.
“I will eat well.”
“Enjoy your meal…”
The thief nodded with a pale face. I guess I never thought I would order this many.
“I’m sorry to have to eat you like this.”
“Never mind.”
It takes about 30 minutes to reach Karon from the forest where you just were.
However, it is easy to become a target of monsters if you wander around alone without companions while it is raining like now.
“I should be even more grateful for bringing you here safely.”
“Anyway, Kim hyung is soft. did you forget Are we victims of an attack by that friend?”
said Alec, swallowing the honey-drenched muffin.
While muttering that the taste melts in your mouth.
“It’s true that we were attacked by bandits, but they applied it in a second and tortured us for about two hours.”
“It is treatment, not torture.”
“It was the most vicious treatment in the world.”
Kim Ho-jung laughed and ate the chili stew.
Chili stew is a spicy dish that can be easily obtained in the West, so if it is on the menu, it is one of the must-buy menus.
“Hey bro, eat quickly too! I’m going to cool off.”
“thank you. It’s a dish I bought with my own money…”
The thief ate the stew with a grim face.
“Let’s see those damn bastards…. To think that those bastards would be together for the rest of their lives and then leave me! I will kill you!”
Then, in anger alone, he began to curse at his colleague who had abandoned him.
It seems that being betrayed came as quite a shock.
‘Dreaming of friendship on the subject of thieves stealing men’s pockets.’
Looking at this stupid thief, it was Kang Seung-hyun who somehow reminded me of Red Road idiots.
“By the way… I think I got a new item. I’ll have to test it soon.”
Alec muttered as he gulped down his beer.
“test? how?”
“Are you going to break into any church and fight?”
“It is terrorism! It’s not a test!”
“I’m itchy these days for not stepping on healers… One more healer request?”
“Aren’t you all tired?”
Kim Ho-jeong, who was listening to the story, grumbled as if it were absurd.
“You got a new weapon, aren’t you excited? Don’t you want to go on a rampage?”
“[Out-Focus] is more compatible with thrusting than cutting or striking due to its nature, so I want to acquire related skills… I’m also thinking about collecting points and playing roulette.”
“I just want to live a quiet, leisurely life.”
Kim Ho-jeong wanted to soak in hot water and rest for a few days after returning as a human, but the two idiots who enjoyed it were just excited about trying out new skills and new weapons.
“People work only when they rest. Let’s take a few days off.”
“okay? Then, since we came all the way to Karon, let’s go play for a bit.”
“I have something to buy for the potion ingredients… so let’s rest for about three days.”
Kang Seung-hyun and his party were talking like this.
“excuse me.”
“We are priests belonging to the Church of Simua Rize.”
“Do you want to get stronger?”
“Do you want to acquire special powers?”
“Then follow us. I will give you a chance.”
The entrance was noisy, so I looked and saw a couple of men and women in priestly clothes walking around and talking to people.
“What are those friends?”
“They must be the religious people who came to do business.”
The number of followers is the strength of the Order.
Even if a famous church stays still, believers roll in, but small and medium-sized churches require believers to run around on their feet.
“Never mind, let’s eat.”
“okay.”
Kang Seung-hyun and his party didn’t mind at all, and most of the other guests didn’t mind them either.
“Is it really?”
“You say it gives you strength?”
However, some people were interested in the priests’ story and approached them.
“Give me strength? Will you give me the strength to avenge you?”
A bandit who was betrayed and abandoned by his comrades was one of them.
“of course.”
“Our One is looking for someone to inherit his powers from.”
“If you wish, please follow us.”
The priests nodded and replied.
“I’m bored, so let’s pretend we’re being deceived and go.”
“Because I have nothing to do.”
Most of them were light-hearted, and some of them followed the duo of priests with a grim face.
“There are fools who believe that.”
“How hard is it to acquire divine skills?”
“I was like that when I was a rookie. I miss you.”
The people who remained at the inn treated them as fools and made them a snack, saying,
“The gods of Azul Continent must live on because there are such hogu.”
“Gods tell me to eat my faith, so I’m going to have a drink~!”
Kang Seung-hyun and his party were not much different.
-And the morning after three days.
“Huh… Did everyone sleep well?”
“then. Good Morning Good Night Good Afternoon Good Evening Good Dawn.”
“There is no root in words.”
Today, after a good night’s sleep in the inn room, Kang Seung-hyeon and his party came down to the restaurant on the first floor to have breakfast.
“Look at that!”
“Really?”
“Crazy… If I had known this would happen, I would have gone too.”
But somehow the first floor was noisy.
To be precise, it seemed like a bunch of people gathered to watch something.
“What’s going on out there?”
“I don’t know? It’s a mess now!”
A guest staying on the same floor made a fuss and shouted.
Kim Ho-jung replied with a puzzled face.
“A fuss?”
“Do you remember that church from three days ago?”
“platform?”
“That church that said it would give you strong power.”
“Ah, what about Samuel?”
Ho-jung Kim barely remembered the priests he had met while eating at an inn three days earlier.
“Why?”
“The guys I followed back then came back… No kidding! If I knew this was going to happen, I would go too!”
The guest said so and went out.
“Are you kidding me?”
“Let’s go too.”
What the hell is going on?
Kang Seung-hyun and his party followed the guests outside.
