Episode 64. [ Wave (5) ]
The snakes retreated.
He instinctively realized that humans had become stronger.
Marcelo also realized that his body was healed. And it was full of strength.
“Is this what an awakened person is?”
Of course, he had never heard of an awakened person being able to heal wounds so suddenly, but he had also heard what the trait was.
“I guess it’s a trait that allows me to recover immediately even if I get hurt.”
He clenched his fists. With this power, I could fight.
It would have been better if he had had an awakened weapon… but he was still grateful.
The white snakes that had retreated began to approach again.
Although I had a lot of power, I didn’t really feel like I could win.
He shouted into the hallway.
“Run while I’m fighting! There are no big snake monsters now! As you run out the main gate, you will see an armored vehicle. “If you hide there, someone will come!”
Of course, there was no guarantee that the man would come back after defeating the giant anaconda monster.
“Still, he’s much better than me.”
He picked up the bones scattered on the floor. It could have been human bones, but saving a living person was the priority now.
Churi riri.
Snakes leapt at him across the hall.
He swung the bone at the lunging snake as if it were flying.
Bye!
The movements were definitely different from before. It was an exact hit on the head of the snake that was shot.
The lead snake flew away and the bone in its hand shattered.
Bye!
Then the snake did the same, and the bone in the other hand broke as well.
Marcelo continued to step back. He swung his fists and kicked at the oncoming snakes.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t as easy to kill as the first time. The translucent film running on the snake’s skin was neutralizing the attack.
Since they were just born, they were weak, but it was difficult to hurt them with bare fists.
Fortunately, the snakes bounced back and forth from his attack as if they received the same amount of impact.
As he continued to step back, he looked into the passageway where the people were trapped.
People had to cross this hall to escape.
That was why he attracted snakes.
It was only when his back touched the window sill that people came out into the hallway.
A frightened face emerged from the corner of the hallway.
But the people just watched him fight and didn’t move.
Marcelo seemed to know why people couldn’t move.
A person who had found an opportunity to run away not long ago was also caught and eaten. People who saw that scene couldn’t move easily.
I should have tied up the monsters more myself.
“Phew…”
He unclenched his fists.
And Dumbero grabbed the snake’s head with one hand. The other arm wrapped itself around the body of another snake.
Then other snakes also rushed at him.
Snakes coiled around his body.
Kwasik. Kwazijic.
The sound of bones breaking was heard.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
us us us us us (surname and other snakes and other snakes and snakes and snakes are!). Marcelo moaned in excruciating pain.
He was also squeezing the monster snakes caught in his arms with all his might, but he had no choice but to be outnumbered.
Bones broke and broke through the flesh and then recovered again, ribs were shattered and then repaired again. .
The pain of breaking the bone was the same. The speed of recovery seemed to be slowing down.
But he endured it.
“Hurry up!”
People began to move in response to the desperate cries.
Doctors and nurses. And a few patients who seemed fine.
It seemed that healthy food was probably saved until last.
Unfortunately, the awakened person called the saint was not seen among the people crossing the hall. I hoped it was somewhere else, but there was a good chance that it would have been eaten first.
Marcelo was wrapped around the snake and pushed against the wall. The upper body stumbled out of the broken window.
‘If I jump here, will I be able to get out?’
I had that thought for a moment, but I couldn’t bring myself to throw myself out the window.
If the snakes were to break free, all the hard work would have been in vain.
increasingly. My consciousness became blurred.
Weeeeing.
I felt like I could hear flying insects outside the window.
Now I couldn’t even move. The broken body did not recover either. There were also limitations.
Marcelo burst into laughter. I gained strength at best, but ended up dying again.
Still, we were able to save the people this time. I felt like I would have to be satisfied with that.
Suddenly.
The moment of final consciousness. He thought he heard something being cut.
Gradually, slowly.
The snakes that had wrapped themselves tightly around Marcelo began to break into pieces.
The head was cut off and the body was dismembered. The translucent membrane that blocked the attack was of no use.
The snakes were startled and tried to unwrap their coiled bodies, but their bodies were all cut off before they could untangle themselves.
The one who cut the snake was Gyeong-hoon, who had climbed the wall to the fourth floor.
After cutting up all the tangled snakes, he looked at Marcelo with a bored expression.
“It’s alive, right?”
-….He will be alive. Probably…
Marcelo’s appearance was such that it was difficult to see him as alive. Bones protruded and joints twisted.
But I was still breathing.
Kyunghoon took out a potion from his backpack. It was a stamina potion that was saved to be used in dangerous moments.
“Jin Shawei should really be able to make potions.”
He looked at the potion with a gloomy expression and opened the lid.
The faint scent of apples spread.
He put the potion into Marcello’s mouth.
gulp. gulp.
The potion flowed into Marcel’s body and took effect.
Crash. Crash.
The protruding bones retracted into the body and the bent joints returned to their original state.
Wounds disappeared and broken bones healed.
“Was the potion’s effect this great?”
-That can’t be possible. This is almost like turning back time. I guess that’s the characteristic.
After dealing with Jormungand, Kyung-hoon rushed to the hospital.
This was because Eve informed us of the hospital situation.
While Kyung-hoon was fighting, she continued to watch the hospital with a drone. The reason Marcelo was rushed to the hospital was to see him dying, surrounded by snakes.
However, she did not tell Kyung-hoon about the hospital situation.
I couldn’t interfere with Kyung-hoon’s fight. The most important thing to her was Kyung-hoon. And his fights were also extremely dangerous.
Kyung-hoon frowned as he looked at his tattered clothes.
Much of the red-stained blood was Gyeong-hoon’s blood.
“I heard there are no healing awakeners? “I guess I’ll have to apply red medicine for the first time in a while.”
While Kyung-hoon was complaining, Marcelo came to his senses.
When he opened his eyes, he could see a man covered in blood. An Asian man covered in scars. The sunglasses I had been wearing so far were nowhere to be seen.
“K?”
Kyunghoon quickly took out his sunglasses from his backpack and put them on.
-It seems a little late.
Kyunghoon scratched his head. Fortunately, his face was also covered in blood. I just hoped I didn’t recognize it properly.
Marcelo laughed out loud when he saw Kyung-hoon hastily putting on his sunglasses.
“Haha, don’t worry. I have no intention of unmasking the hero. “No, I didn’t see it.”
He was laughing excitedly, wondering what was so fun, but then he looked puzzled.
He checked his hands and feet.
It was fine.
“There is no way it can be cured. “I used up all my healing power?”
While checking his body, he saw an empty bottle rolling around on his chest.
He knew what had happened when he saw the apple-scented bottle.
“Is this it? What saved me?’’
“Part of it is because of the characteristics that Mr. Marcelo possesses.”
Gyeong-hoon looked at the bottle with a regretful expression and answered his words.
Marcelo also noticed that Gyeong-hoon was injured.
“Are there any more?”
“yes. “If there was one, I would have written it.”
That was the last stamina potion I had right now.
Marcelo looked blankly at Kyunghoon.
“You really are a hero.”
It was an embarrassing word, but Kyung-hoon did not hesitate.
I wrote it because I couldn’t bear to see an awakened person I knew die in front of my eyes, but it was still a waste.
I felt like my body would hurt less if I received praise like that.
Gyeong-Hoon dragged his painful body and extracted the mana stone from the severed snake body.
Although they were just born, they were still able to find quite useful mana stones, perhaps due to their race.
Kyung-hoon sent Marcelo away first and then packed his things. Since there were no healing awakeners, medicine and medical equipment were needed.
Thanks to the drone and Eve, I was able to quickly find the remaining items.
Marcelo consoled the people hiding in the armored vehicle.
Fortunately, people did as Marcelo said. Instead of running away somewhere else, they all came in armed vehicles.
Two doctors. Three nurses. Two patients.
Unfortunately, these people were the only ones who survived in the general ward.
“Where is Mr. Mora?”
Those who survived shook their heads when asked just in case.
As expected, the healing awakener was the first to be eaten by the giant snake.
It would have been nice to have a healing awakener, but there were still doctors and nurses left.
The patient and one nurse appeared to be in a daze, but two doctors and another nurse were still awake.
As expected, the doctors and nurses were great. Many people were able to keep their spirits up even as they watched people being eaten next to them.
My business at the hospital is over.
An 8-seater armored car departed. The car driven by Marcelo moved toward the hotel.
Kyung-hoon was on the roof of the car. Unlike when we arrived, there were no monsters attacking us.
There was only one reason.
A car traveling on the road stopped. A huge snake had fallen down, draped from a building next to the road to the road.
There were dents all over the body and the head was cut off and lying on the opposite side of the road.
Kyung-hoon, who was on top of the car, jumped down. He walked towards the snake head.
“Hehe. Snake. It’s a snake.’
“That doesn’t make any sense. Is that dead?”
Upon seeing the snake, the patients panicked, and the doctors and nurses were shocked in a different way:
“It must have died.”
“How did you kill that thing? “Surely the army has come?”
In response to the doctor’s question, Marcelo pointed to the snake’s head.
There, Gyeong-Hoon was digging out the mana stone inside the snake’s head.
After a while, the armored car started again.
There were few raids until we arrived at the hotel.
The fight between Gyeonghoon and Jormungand caused all nearby monsters to flee.
Kyung-hoon muttered as he looked at the empty road.
“If I hadn’t learned how to move mana, I would have lost.”
-They probably won’t even fight.
Kyunghoon chuckled and agreed with what she said.
Anyway, going to the hospital gave me an unexpected reward.
Jormungand’s Mana Stone and Gallbladder. And even Awakened ones with powerful self-healing properties.
“Maybe it’s worth flirting with?”
-That level of self-healing properties is rare. I recommend it.
Now that the alchemist and blacksmith are ready, it is time to prepare for battle.
***
After arriving at the hotel, the doctors immediately treated the patients.
Kyung-hoon brought out a mountain of medicine and medical equipment, and people began to call him a magician.
Marcelo’s junior also survived. Although I felt like I had to go with a disability, I was thankful that I survived.
And, strangely enough, there was no need for Kyung-hoon to recommend it. Marcelo came first.
“Isn’t there anything I can do in a place like EV?”
Kyung-hoon, who was looking at him blankly, finally opened his mouth.
“I have to travel around the world. “My family and friends here…”
He shook his head at Kyung-hoon’s words.
“There is no one left here. “There is only one junior left…”
The junior will be looked after by his family.
“Looking at you, I think I have some idea of what EV does. Please let me join you in saving people and killing mutant monsters.”
In Marcelo’s eyes, the image of a hero wearing sunglasses was reflected.
