How to Live as an Illegal Healer

8. Eradication

“I will take care of this!”

Matvelo’s shield of light covered the Perial Party with a strong light. The rats couldn’t penetrate the shield of light and howled.

‘You don’t have to worry about that anymore. I just need to deal with that guy.’

Seunghyun Kang looked at the monster in front of him.

rare monster. ‘A rat out of the gutter’.

The guy radiated a black aura, raising his nerves. It sounds like you’re watching this.

‘The best thing here is that bastard let us go.’

Rare Giraffe also consumed quite a bit of mana using [Space Control]. There won’t be much mana left that he can use. Because monsters don’t carry potions.

‘No matter how proud a monster is, if its magic power runs out, it won’t be able to use its skills.’

If Rare Gypsy Rat freed [Space Control], Kang Seung-Hyun was thinking of stepping down as well. It’s not that there’s no chance of winning, but if there’s a peaceful option, there’s a way to look at it.

“…”

But Rare Gypsy Rat didn’t seem to want to let go.

Quite the opposite. He was convinced that he was the one who would win.

‘Even this level of magic power is enough! Even if it takes a long time, I’m the one who has the advantage!’

Rare’s eyes said that.

‘They say that when you become a rare monster, your intelligence also becomes rare.’

Seunghyun Kang clicked his tongue and looked around. I saw Matvelo praying in the light shield.

“Ia Iver. He who follows has faith.”

And a swarm of rats surrounded the praying Matbello.

But instead of attacking like before, he just quietly watched Matvelo. He realized that attacking would only drain his strength and be meaningless.

‘I’m struggling now, but I can’t last long.’

‘Wait for humans to collapse from exhaustion.’

‘Aim for when that light disappears.’

It was really creepy to see hundreds of rats staring at Matvelo without budging. Just like you want Matbello to collapse and die quickly.

‘It’s disgusting, really.’

Of course, those guys aren’t smart enough to think of such a high level. It was just faithfully following the orders given by the chief.

“Ia Iver. Loyalty to those who believe.”

At this point, I can feel the greatness of Matvelo, who is absorbed in prayer without changing his expression in this situation.

Matvelo didn’t care about the rats surrounding him and prayed with a calm face. Even if it’s not human, dozens of eyes are staring at him.

‘For an adventurer healer, he’s as devout as a priest.’

The stronger the belief in God, the stronger the divine power. It seemed that he was not bragging about himself as a competent healer. Because strong divine power means strong recovery.

‘Since Healer A is working so hard, Healer B can’t just sit back and play.’

It seems that the work has been decided now.

“But to be honest.”

Seunghyun Kang took a deep breath and said. It’s like asking a rare rat to listen.

I don’t know if he will listen.

“This is none of my business. It’s not a healer’s job.”

The body of a healer is a supporter. It’s a position where you don’t have to rush forward and fight like a dealer. There are healers like that, but they’re not universal.

“No matter how many potions I have, how can I catch a rare monster alone as a healer alone?”

It’s not called Rare for nothing. Because it’s a different entity from normal monsters.

“So I was just going to have a good time, but you brought it on yourself?”

However, the rare monster has no intention of letting go. If so, the only answer is to fight and defeat it.

“I’m really fortunate in that respect.”

Originally, rare monsters were not monsters for clumsy adventurers who prepared only a few potions. Especially if you are alone!

“Because you’re an ordinary rat!”

“Chii Ii!!”

Rare Gypsy Rat cried loudly and ran amok. Curse seems to understand.

[Incision]

Kang Seung-hyeon rushed towards the rare rat.

‘The opponent is the weakest rare monster in the Azul Continent. There is a chance!’

If it had been a wolf or a wild boar instead of a rat, it would have returned to the village without coming here.

Whoops!

Kang Seung-hyun’s knife tore the skin of the rare rat.

“Zeuik!”

Rare Gypsy Rat screamed in pain, but did not back down.

‘Even for a rat, a rare is a rare.’

Instead of stepping back, the rare rats lunged forward with their front teeth exposed.

Kang Seung-hyun did not give in and used [Cut], but he is a small and nimble monster. Rare’s rat was aiming for an opening and rushed at it.

“ぅ!”

Eventually, the rat’s front tooth bit Kang Seung-hyun’s ankle.

Kang Seung-hyeon immediately swung a knife to shake off the rare rat, but blood flowed from the bitten ankle. It would be nice if it was just a brush, but rare monsters aren’t so easygoing.

‘bleeding!’

A condition that reduces physical strength for a certain period of time. It’s not enough, he’s a terrible guy who nullifies the regeneration effect. If you do not take medicine or receive proper treatment, blood will continue to flow.

“They roll their heads around saying it’s a rare monster. You can’t stop this with just a regeneration potion.”

It seems that he deliberately allowed close combat to get rid of the regeneration potion effect. I thought it was a bit easy to catch.

“But what?”

He’s quite clever, but there’s something that Rare Gungus Rat didn’t expect. The point is that Kang Seung-hyun is a healer who stops bleeding.

[Hemostasis]

When I touched the wound with my hand, the blood stopped instantly. The rare rat also stopped moving for a moment, as if he hadn’t expected that.

“Because I am a healer.”

Kang Seung-hyun swung his knife while absorbing the health potion. Now that the effect of the regeneration potion is gone, I have no choice but to survive with the potion of stamina.

“Zeuyik!!”

Rare’s rat, cut by the knife, screamed and stepped back. It was the moment Kang Seung-hyun chased after him and tried to use [Incision] once again.

Woowook!!

Do you want to protect your boss or do you just follow the boss’s orders without thinking. A swarm of rats came out from all sides and blocked Kang Seung-hyeon.

“Junejik!”

“Zwyiik!”

When I looked behind me, all the rats that had surrounded Matvelo had come this way. The rats clung to each other like a wall, trying to protect the rare rats.

“When did you come?”

If you don’t deal with that many rats, you won’t be able to approach the rare rats.

‘If I catch them one by one, they’ll collapse.’

[Cut] was the only offensive skill Kang Seunghyun had. Of course, it was impossible to catch a rare rat in a standard way.

One fortunate thing is that Kang Seung-hyun is a healer. The point is that he is not a formal healer, but a trick-or-treating wild healer.

‘When I came here, I didn’t just make regeneration potions.’

Like all rats, the fertility of Dentroll rats is terrifying. The thing that suppresses the fertility of such rats is the dentrol mint that grows all over the dentrol forest.

[Dentrol mint]

[A plant with a pungent scent.]

[Can be collected in the Dentrol forest.]

[The scent is harmless to humans, but not good for small animals.]

Hind villagers have known Dentrol mint for a long time. Its scent was used as an insecticide. Its power is enough to easily kill a few insects.

‘So I prepared. Dentrol Peppermint Concentrate!’

Kang Seung-hyun took Dentrol mint concentrate from his inventory. A pungent scent of mint flowed from the bottle. · The rats, which have a better sense of smell than humans, bristled their fur.

‘Of course, it’s not strong enough to kill a rat.’

If it is a concentrate made by boiling down dozens of Denttrol mints, the story is different. It’s not plain water, it’s because it’s made with Dentrol peppermint oil.

“Even though it can’t kill rats, it has the power to drive them away.”

Of course, this is also treated as a potion. It means you can use [Spray].

Great!

Kang Seung-hyeon broke the concentrate bottle he was holding. Upon absorbing the concentrate, a deep light green aura formed.

“I wish I had fist-related skills, but… I can’t help it!”

Kang Seung-hyeon clenched his fist and punched the wall of rats.

thud!!!

At the same time, Dentroll’s peppermint aura spread out. With a cry of pain, the group of mice scattered.

When the hundreds of rats disappeared, the rare rat was left alone for the first and last time.

“Junjik!!!”

Rare’s Rat raised its head and howled. He intends to use [Sense of Superiority] once again to summon the runaway rats.

‘Now is the opportunity.’

Dentroll Mint Concentrate, as well as regeneration potions and stamina potions, were left.

Rare Gypsy Rats had to be dealt with before they summoned another swarm of rats.

‘If I run, I’ll be late!’

There are no walls that stand in the way of rare rats. Seunghyun Kang threw the knife he was holding in his hand. The knife cut through the wind and flew away at high speed.

Pooh!!

A hard knife plunged into the rare rat’s head. For a moment, the movement of the rare rat stopped.

But he’s not dead yet. The final blow had to be struck. Seunghyun Kang ran without hesitation.

“If a rat is good enough, he is a rat.”

If Rare Gungus had been even a little calmer, he would have been able to avoid the knife. If you can’t do that, you’ll be a rat.

Whoops!!

Kang Seung-hyun’s knife slashed the rare rat’s throat. Rare’s rat wriggled even with a cut in its neck.

“Tough baby.”

But soon the movement stopped as blood poured out profusely.

[The space domination has been destroyed!] As

the space that was distorted by the death of the rare monster returned to its original place, the mini dungeon disappeared.

“It was really close this time…”

Kang Seung-hyun was finally able to breathe. I was so nervous that my body was drenched in sweat.

‘The limbs are fine.’

Luckily, there were no notable injuries. There were scratches from rat claws and teeth in places.

‘Is the worst injury an ankle injury? It’s not like I can’t walk. You don’t seem to have to worry too much about it.’

It’s actually a miracle that he only got hurt after facing a rare monster one-on-one. Kang Seung-hyun was delighted with the miraculous victory.

‘This is enough to get an achievement?’

Skills are usually obtained through roulette, but there is a way to acquire skills other than roulette. You can receive achievement rewards whenever certain conditions are met.

Of course, it is only for dimension movers.

[Achievement achieved!]

Then, as if he had been waiting, letters appeared in front of Kang Seung-hyun’s eyes.

[Achievement Achievement: Rare 1:1]

[Achieved when hunting rare monsters alone.]

“This is how it should be.”

It was worth risking my life and suffering.
