448. Reasonable Doubt
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
“The injury is worse than I thought. I will treat you right away.”
Mr Alec.
Real name Alek Drite.
Actually, his real name is Ma Cheol-hyun.
After falling to the bottom of the basement, despite the penalty due to [pure blood], he desperately licked his lips to buy time and won a perfect victory against one of the apostle raiders, Frozen Jeongjin.
“I guess it wasn’t easy to fight one-on-one with [Pure Blood] penalty. Alec’s body is such a mess.”
“Hey, Healer, it wasn’t my friend below that made my body like this, it was a hook that came down from the sky?”
He was severely injured because his body was pierced and dragged by a hook that suddenly flew as if struck by lightning from a dry sky.
“It must be because of my mood.”
“Is it because of the mood? Have you suffered physical damage? On the contrary, he wasn’t even hurt like this when fighting!”
“Anyway, you can fix it.”
“No matter how you think about it, you are a person who shouldn’t be a healer.”
Alec sighed and lit a cigarette to relieve pain, then pulled out a match and quickly lit it.
‘It would be more convenient to light it with a lamp, but it’s really cool to do that with a match.’
He was Kang Seung-hyun, who looked at what he saw when he was young and thought that when he grew up, would a person be that kind of a concept lover?
“Seeing that he didn’t get hurt this far during the fight, he must have won easily.”
“Because it’s Alec.”
“What does it matter?”
[Origin]
Chizuzuzu.
Kang Seung-hyun started using [Origin] to heal Alec’s tattered body.
Of course, the only thing that can be healed with [Origin] is the broken body, and the blood consumed in the battle process and the blood shed after being hit with [Hook Shot] cannot be restored with [Origin].
‘This time I consumed more blood than usual. Did you use a new skill?’
It is basic common sense to all healers of the Azul Continent, but there is a subtle difference between stamina consumption due to external injury and stamina consumption due to skill activation.
In the former, even if the bleeding is successful, the recovery speed is very slow, requiring a healer or medicine, but in the latter, once the bleeding is successful, the recovery speed is fast, so if you do not overdo it, you can heal naturally.
‘Well, if you don’t move uselessly, you don’t need a [blood transfusion] right now. There is also the Black Priest Island over there, so let’s keep this one for emergencies.’
A blood mage is a job that consumes more physical strength than others, but there are some that fill up the blood very quickly, so if you have time, you can draw your own blood, and when you are in a hurry, you can transfuse yourself or use it in battle.
Of course, Kang Seung-hyun was forcibly collecting blood because Alec didn’t stock up, saying, ‘That’s not cool.’
“{It’s always a strange skill.}” As soon as he
finished [Origin] and tried to repair the lost part with [Teratoma’s Miracle], the thug next to him spoke to Alec who was lying quietly.
“{Cheolhyun-ah, I’m glad you’re safe. I should have come to help sooner, but I’m sorry
for coming late.
“{I don’t know what it is, but that isn’t a statement that treats people like humans, right? Right?}”
“….”
“{Why didn’t you say anything?}”
Alec silently stroked the thug’s head, and the thug cried a little as he realized that his human rights had fallen to the ground today.
-“Oh, since it’s just the two of us, I need to explain it to Mr. Alec.”
“What are you talking about? There are also cute and cool kkongdols, aren’t there?”
“That’s because there are only two ‘people’.”
Seunghyun Kang looked around and opened his mouth.
As I just said, there were only two ‘people’ here, Kang Seung-hyun and Alec.
“I got a hint from Sehmet to separate Kim Ho-jung and the Black Beast.”
“Oh… but now it’s cool, so let’s just leave it at that.”
It hasn’t been long since Kang Seung-hyun got to know Alec, but he knows how to deal with Alec’s nonsense.
“If you kill Shin Yu-jun, they will be separated.”
You just have to return it with the same nonsense.
“shit! Youjun Shin! In the end, are you going to separate me and the thug…!”
“To be precise, we have to take away the essence of the god that guy took, but it won’t be easy.”
The reason Kang Seung-hyeon doesn’t go to kill Shin Yu-jun right away is because he was a ‘dimension mover’.
‘If that bastard is from the Azul Continent, it’s enough to just slice it up, but if the dimension mover dies, all the items in the inventory will disappear.’
If Shin Yu-jun is keeping the essence of the black cube in his inventory, he has no choice but to keep it alive until he takes it out.
If you just kill it, the essence will disappear, and if you give up the essence, it’s obvious that the fake that will save your life won’t work.
“Sheesh, then, even if I run into him, I have to let him go alive?”
“Anyway, you were punished when you met Shin Yu-jun.”
“The compatibility is the worst, but I did well against an opponent who gets angry just by looking at his face while caught in a trap.”
“An idea that only the weakest in the party would do… Anyway, I heard that there is also a skill that steals inventory items among log dimension mover skills, so it would be good to look into that just in case.”
Currently, ‘Moirai’ led by Shin Yu-jun is in confrontation with the existing church and Seon-ho Baek, so this side only needs to find a way leisurely.
“Then what are you going to do first?”
“First, let’s return to Hind Village.”
“Has the time come to bring down Liwen’s branch manager and ‘dominate’ the place? Okay let’s cooperate.”
“That’s not it, I have to go get the weapon.”
If the enemies you have to deal with from now on are Shin Yu-jun and Baek Seon-ho, one of the top 10 dimension movers, it is better to have a proper weapon.
‘I don’t have any means of recovery other than [Disbelief], so I’d better use a good weapon to prevent wasting [Disbelief] as much as possible.’
And even if it wasn’t [Disbelief], a weapon made from an ancient metal of legend would be powerful enough to be incomparable to a cheap knife.
“Oh by the way.”
“huh?”
While I was lost in my thoughts, Alec spat out the words.
“Why are you all here now? I don’t think it took that long to catch Seo Yu-ri.”
“Seo Yu-ri, I got it right away. Cleared easily with the cooperation of Dabin Kim and Sehmet followers.”
“…Then why didn’t you come? no way?”
A scene flashed through Alec’s mind at that moment.
It was Kang Seung-hyun and his party and the members of the Sehmet Church who were partying without him.
“Pretending to be imprisoned on the day I fell to the bottom of the temple, we had a party to celebrate with only ourselves!”
“Did you?”
Kang Seung-hyun opened his mouth with a puzzled face.
“One more intruder came and was blocking him.”
“What was that? Even if it was, it wouldn’t have been a piece of cake for you.”
“Who would have known that the No. 1 player in the Azul Continent would come to terrorize?”
“what?”
Kang Seung-hyeon explained that Baek Seon-ho came and tried to stage a terrorist attack and that it took a long time to stop it.
“Baek Seon-ho…”
“Yes. Baek Seon-ho and I belonged to the same party. We are friends now no matter what.”
“No, that’s fine!”
“yes?”
“Baek Seon-ho! You said you had the ability to time?”
However, Alec did not listen to the relationship between Kang Seung-hyun and Seon-ho Baek, and focused only on Seon-ho Baek using the [Gap of Time].
“Damn it…! After all, you had a party without me, right?”
“….”
“Time Stop Time Leap Time Acceleration! To enjoy such an amazing skill without me!”
That would be the case, because for Alec, who is a terrible concept, the great skill of manipulating time would be an unbearable concept.
“Hyung, go and call Baek Seon-ho again.”
“…”
“You said you were friends with him? what is good friends? Call Seon-ho Baek and ask him to stop the time in front of me just once…”
Bwak!
In the end, Kang Seung-hyun kicked Alec in the head and made him shut up.
-“…what is that?”
“Mister Alec.”
So Kang Seung-hyun carried the fainting Alec on his back and Min Soo-yeon looked at Kang Seung-hyun with a face that could not say anything.
“What happened?”
“I went down to get him and he passed out.”
“No, you look like you just got hit by someone?”
“It must be because of my mood.”
Kang Seung-hyeon responded and threw Alec roughly into the corner.
“{Hey Mr. Kang? What the hell did Cheolhyun say so he kicked him like that?}” “
{He said he wanted to fight Baek Seon-ho.}” “{
That… deserved a hit.}”
The thug looked at Alec with a pitiful face.
Min Soo-yeon, who was watching this, approached Kang Seung-hyun and said.
“Ah, there’s nothing to do right now, right?”
“Yeah, what is it?”
“Then what are you going to do with those guys soon?”
Then he pointed at the wall with a trembling face.
“Uh uh…”
“Kill me, kill me…”
“Uh uh uh uh uh.”
There, the followers of the Sehmet Church, who had become meat shields, were clinging to the walls, groaning in misery.
“…It can be restored, right?”
“Oh right.”
Kang Seung-hyun realized that he had completely forgotten about them.
gurgling gurgling.
While Kang Seung-hyeon was restoring the meat shields with [Origin] and [Teratoma’s Miracle], Min Su-yeon, who was by his side, opened her mouth as she watched them.
“Oh, there is something I wanted to say.”
“What do you want to say?”
“The strange power that Baek Seon-ho used earlier, the silvery aura.”
“First of all, it is a power that I have never used during the strike.”
Kang Seung-hyeon gave an appropriate reply and passed it over.
It was because there was no reason to tell Min Soo-yeon about [Disbelief].
“I’m not sure, but maybe…”
“Yes?”
“Isn’t it related to the stat [Disbelief]?”
“…”
Kang Seung-hyun frowned for a moment.
Why does Min Soo-yeon know about [Disbelief]?
‘Lee Ji-ah?’
‘Why did I not say a word?’
‘Is it Kim Ho-jeong?’
‘I have no doubts! Look at those innocent white eyes.’
‘As expected, Alec was the son.’
‘They didn’t even have time to talk.’
It was Kang Seung-hyun who was suspicious of his colleagues without a second’s hesitation, but Lee Ji-ah refuted with a desperate look.
“What do you mean, Min Su-yeon?”
“Didn’t I say I got the skill [Reasonable Suspicion] earlier?”
Min Soo-yeon said that and spread her hands.
Whoa!
“The description of this skill said ‘recovers [Disbelief]’.”
Then, a silvery aura began to spread from her hand.
