Episode 256 Dhampir (1)
Sensing that a sign had been erased in the room, Ray slowly entered the room.
In that place where only loneliness remained, only the spreading Aira and the warm bed were left scattered around.
He broke the heavy silence and opened his mouth.
“You left safely.”
“…”
“Cheer up. It’s because you enjoyed all the heavenly mandates.”
“…okay.”
My heart is heavy at seeing her sullen appearance, which I have never seen before.
He had been able to do impossible things with ease, but even so, there was no way he could bring a dying patient back to life.
So, there was nothing else to say and nothing to do.
All I could do was quietly close the door and avoid the seat.
I left the elder’s house and started walking on the grass without thinking.
The death of the elder elf left many thoughts on him as well as the elves.
What is the purpose of medicine?
It is probably the desire to have an absolute right to choose in life beyond a disease-free longevity.
The freedom to live as long as you want to live and die when you want to die.
A strong heart that doesn’t want to lose someone precious.
Perhaps they gathered to form the present medicine.
The absolute realm of medicine that everyone dreams of.
There are many reasons why you can’t get to it, but there is only one reason that is the most difficult.
It is because of the absolute wall lifespan given to living things.
Most life ends when their lifespan ends.
A leader of absolute power who dominated an era or a beggar in the slums.
Receive the rest equally regardless of you.
That is why no one wonders about it.
An absolute wall that even he cannot overcome.
It can be said that it is both a blessing and a curse given to life.
Wet in thought, I passed the usual road and set foot deeper into the forest.
The trees towering taller than the elven village were dense enough to block the sunlight.
In comparison, it is like a jungle.
“You came in too deep.”
The moment you try to turn your steps, life pours out from all sides.
It seems that he is hiding in the dark and waiting for the moment when he shows his back.
Predictably, it would be a group of goblins.
Although their intelligence and physical abilities are not high, they are specialized in hunting in packs, and if they are determined and join forces, they can surpass most large monsters.
He put his hand on the sword bottle hanging from his waist and prepared a posture.
When I sneakily show my back to them who do not respond, arrows are shot as if they were waiting for that moment.
Wedge-! Wedge-!
He deflected the powerful arrows one by one and watched the group of goblins.
Then five or six goblins attacked with their swords.
“Kieack!”
He let out a grotesque scream and stabbed his sword, but it contained much more menacing power than normal goblins.
As if someone had trained them.
The three avant-garde goblins take advantage of the opportunity to retrieve their sword strikes, so the three goblins from the rear attack the front.
Admiration leaked from Rey’s lips at the incredible tactical move the goblin made.
“Now to the examination?”
Caan—!
He easily let go of the goblin’s sword and cut through his chest while maintaining his momentum.
Chew-!
Lines of blood were drawn in the air, and fishy goblin blood splattered here and there.
“Khehe!”
After one hit, the goblin archers’ hands got busy.
Read the situation while firing a threatening shot to prevent the opponent from attacking again.
As if retreating was the answer, the goblin swordsmen quickly picked up the wounded goblin and started running away.
“Kieek! Kiek!”
While running away, he looks back and shouts something.
As expected, it seems to be a curse word unique to goblins.
Ray doesn’t know if it’s a compliment, but he’s not the kind of guy who stays still even when he hears swear words.
Besides, I’m not even a human, and I feel three times as bad because I was cursed at by a goblin.
“I just needed goblin blood for my medicine, and that worked.”
He chased after them with his sword in his hand.
* * *
How much did you chase?
Where the goblins stopped, there were sizable caves and huts.
They took the wounded goblin to a large hut.
Soon after, a goblin clad in jewelry walked out.
‘A goblin shaman?’
A goblin who can use magic.
Even so, it’s 2nd Circle magic, but if you look at it from a goblin’s point of view, it’s equivalent to a 6th Circle magician.
A goblin shaman cast a spell and let mana flow.
Then, the sword on the chest gradually recovers and returns to its original form.
Tactics, examinations, and now even recovery magic?
Are you saying that even goblins are proudly using Circle 1 magic that no one can even use?
Desperate for God, despair for magic, despair for this world.
When Ray, hit by the triple despair combo, couldn’t keep his senses, two women appeared in one corner.
It’s a great look no matter how you look at it.
‘Is it an elf who went the wrong way?’
I almost mistaken it for a moment, but if you look at the clothes you’re wearing and the blunt ears, you can only see it as a human being.
The two women were staggering through the bushes, and one of them had a serious leg wound.
If left as it is, there was no way the goblins, who reacted violently to the smell of blood, would leave it alone.
This is also related to something.
Ray moved his body to help them.
* * *
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu can’t possible…”
“You’re wrong for digging into a group of humans.”
“That’s true, but… After all, humans are too savage.”
“Shut up and focus on healing your wounds.”
“Phi.”
As the two were talking, a man wearing a white mask fell from the air.
Percussion—
Speaks in low voices and whispers.
“Quietly follow me.”
A suspicious-looking white mask and worn-out clothes.
He even holds a blood-soaked sword in his hand, so no matter where he looks, he can only be seen as a murderer.
“….”
“….” I
heard that if you suddenly encounter a pervert on the street, your voice won’t come out, so the rumors must be true.
When one of them, stiffened, tries to open her mouth.
The pervert in the white mask hurriedly raised his hand and covered his mouth.
‘If you open your mouth now, the goblins will catch you. We need to move to a safe place before the situation becomes more annoying.’
Of course, they don’t know his intentions.
“Aww…!”
When they showed signs of resistance, Ray immediately lifted them up like sacks of rice and left.
Your mouth will automatically close at the quick movement of your body.
They are Dhampir.
Even though they are harp, when did they, who are nobles of the night, be treated like this?
If necessary, it would be possible to subdue them with force, but absurdity is unavoidable.
They just stared at each other with their eyes wide open at the first kidnapping in their lives.
* * *
Upon entering the small hut, the running of the masked man, which seemed like it would not stop even if the world ended, stopped.
After barely regaining their physical freedom, they protested.
“What are you doing now!”
“This is kidnapping! It’s a crime!”
Let’s raise our voices, he looks at the woman’s legs.
“Where are you looking! this slut! transformation! Poor quality!”
Despite being hit with a three-sword combo, he was just doing his job.
He takes out a white cloth and rolled leather from his backpack and approaches her.
He took off his mask to see the wound properly.
A beautiful appearance that had been hidden behind her until now was revealed.
When the deep thoughtful eyes and nice jawline come into view, the sign of rebellion quickly turns into a honeyed mute.
“Umm….”
‘What kind of human appearance in the world…’
Even if it was an elf or a pureblood vampire, it wasn’t to this extent.
“Stop complaining and stick out your leg.”
“Hey, here it is…”
She, who had become an obedient baekgu before I knew it, stretched out her slightly slender legs.
As a result, blood flowed from the wound on his thigh.
Ray’s complexion hardened slightly.
‘The wound is bigger than I thought. I have to stop the bleeding first.’
His hands started moving quickly.
Tie the artery flowing near the wound with a string and cover the wound with a white cloth.
After taking basic measures, he immediately took off his coat and covered the woman’s body.
“This……?”
“My temperature must have dropped because I lost a lot of blood. I’ll lend you that, so I’m wearing it.”
“Thank you so much…”
He looked away with his face dyed red.
As Dhampir’s carelessness was running around, Ray pulled something out of the rolled leather.
Inside was a small bottle the size of a palm.
Apply the reddish-brown sticky liquid from the bottle to a white cloth and apply evenly to the wound on the thigh.
The woman frowned slightly.
“Ugh…”
“It’s a golden spear that I made myself. It looks like this, but after applying it, it heals quickly even though it hurts.”
“Ah yes…”
Dhampir is very resilient.
Even if my back hurts, it will recover after two days, so I can’t even get hurt this much.
Even so, when the human in front of me kindly took care of it, my heart pounded a little.
For some reason, I felt like I could continue pretending to be sick.
However, no matter what I thought, my body was honest, and even though less than an hour had passed, the wounds were noticeably smaller.
He frowns at the resilience that far transcends humans.
‘Even though my golden spear is effective, this is ridiculously fast…’ A
piercing wound in the thigh heals in one hour?
If everyone in the world were like this, there would be no need for doctors to exist.
Until now, I thought of them as human beings, but I thought that maybe they weren’t.
Contrary to his suspicions, they were surprised in their own way.
No matter how great Dhampir’s resilience was, the wound through his thigh could not be healed in an hour.
‘There was no sign of using magic. What did you do?’
‘Could it be… is it because of that gold-changing drug?’
How does it show such an effect on a subject that looks like poison?
I guess I need to find out.
If you can catch a clue of ‘the disease’, you will be given a chance to become a pureblood as a reward.
The two looked at each other and nodded.
Man always reveals his hidden true face in critical matters.
So if you create a dangerous situation, you will definitely show more.
Luckily, the small monsters around here are under their command.
As Ray focused on treating his wounds, the woman’s lips slightly raised.
