To Hell with Being a Saint, I’m a Doctor

Episode 257 Dhampir (2)

The conversation between them has become less.

The dhampirs exchanged glances.

‘Are you on guard?’

‘Certainly, it must be scary in the eyes of humans.’

A while ago, the handsome man lit a fire in the brazier and sat back.

I had no idea what he was thinking.

As the uncomfortable silence continues, the girls who can’t stand it speak awkwardly.

“It’s a bit late to say hello, but thank you for treating me. My name is Henea.”

“…Prelia.”

He shook his head to greet him.

“It’s Ray.”

To what extent did you think there was room for improvement in the stiff atmosphere?

They both smiled.

“Were you surprised earlier? Wound on the leg…”

I was certainly surprised.

Even heterogeneous races such as elves and dwarves could not show this level of resilience.

For a moment, I even suspected that it might be undead.

‘Maybe I can make a good medicine?’

Just like making potions using the troll’s restorative power, if you study them, you might be able to make a better quality recovery medicine.

Unaware of what blasphemous thoughts he had inside, the two mistakenly thought that Ray was hesitant to answer.

Thinking that they took the initiative in the conversation, they naturally lead the conversation.

“You may have noticed vaguely, but we are not actually human. Because humans are called a heterogeneous species.”

“Heterogeneous?”

“I can’t talk about the details right now. This is a rule.”

At her reply, Ray fell silent.

Then, without changing his expression, he tosses and turns around the fire and asks.

“What were you doing in a forest like this? It’s small, but it’s a place with a lot of monsters. Besides, if you were bleeding, wouldn’t you have known that you would be targeted by the goblins?”

Despite his sharp question, the girls were not taken aback.

“After being attacked by humans, I got lost and wandered. We don’t know the geography of this place very well. Besides, I have enough skills to defeat goblins.”

Of course it’s a lie.

It’s true that they were attacked by humans, but they couldn’t get lost in this place, not anywhere else.

Even so, this is a hideout made by them.

By attracting monsters and dominating them, humans stopped walking.

It is a place like a shelter where you can take refuge in case of emergency.

Ray, who had been listening quietly, nodded and got up from his seat.

“Goblins would be able to handle it, but it doesn’t seem like that anymore. wake up slowly Before the cabin is besieged.”

“yes?”

“Monsters are coming. It’s unusual to move, so you’d better avoid it.”

At his words, the two looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

He certainly had the goblins lined up around him, but it wasn’t enough to react like this.

The girls, who spread their feelings widely and confirmed them, couldn’t hide their surprise.

“This is…”

“What the hell is going on?”

Seeing the expression on her face as if she really didn’t know, Ray, who was suspicious of them, also shook her head.

“…Recently, there is a case in which monsters invaded the town of Serene. Maybe this is something like that.”

“A monster invasion… I’ve never heard of anything on that scale!”

Even a rough guess, the number exceeds a thousand.

At that level, it makes me wonder if someone is controlling it from behind.

Putting on a white mask and an old leather cloak, he readied himself and said,

“I do not have time. Come out of the cabin.”

It was literally the eve of the battle outside.

A wide field and the fierce killing of monsters resounding in it.

A large group of monsters shaking the ground were heading towards the village beyond.

If left as it is, the village of Billo, like Seren, will be devastated.

Although the army is stationed there, it is difficult to annihilate at this level unless a sit-in is held on top of the wall.

Henea’s face convulsed slightly as she looked at the swarm of monsters covering the surroundings in dismay.

“There are monsters in the back too!”

“I can’t get out of here…”

“Stop nagging and run away. The back is still weak, so it’s not too late to escape.

“Then what about you?”

“You have to make time. If there’s a lot of noise, regular troops will be dispatched from Bilo Village. If you hold on until then, you can get out somehow. Besides, even if there are you who are terrified, it will only hold your ankles.”

That’s what he said, but the calculation was made to make them run away.

His face was hidden behind a mask, but he was serious.

I don’t know if it was in the past, but now I don’t have a mana load on my body.

This is because when he quit being a saint and the holy power was returned to Gaia, the settled mana rod disappeared as well.

I don’t even fully know why.

However, what can be guessed is that he did not recognize the mana rod he draws out as a ‘mana rod’.

Although he couldn’t use divine power, if he judged the mana rod that acted as a mediator as divine power, the current situation would be understandable.

I tried to recreate it, but to no avail.

That’s why there is no mana that he can use right now.

He drew an old sword from his waist and took a posture like never before.

After looking at it for a while, the girls spurred the ground and headed for the village.

“I’ll call in people who can help!”

“Wait a little Joe!”

Although there are monsters behind them, they should be able to penetrate them with their skills.

All that was left was the monsters in front.

‘A thousand without mana…’

A drop of sweat ran down his cheek from his face as they were confronting each other.

* * *

Caang—! Caan—!

The sound of iron grinding echoed from the hill.

The bushes were stained with blood and the white mask was already stained red.

Grabbing the high ground, he cut down monsters flocking from all sides.

The feeling of fatigue was no joke as I used only the senses and physical abilities left in my body to deal with them.

Immediately after cutting off the kobold’s head, the ogre swung his arm, and he hurriedly twisted his body to avoid it and let out a drool.

“Ugh!”

My muscles screamed because I used my body forcibly.

Thanks for the delayed response.

The goblin archer’s arrow shot from afar pierced his shoulder blade.

“Aagh!”

A hot pang came.

An hour has passed since they left.

Now he too was reaching his limits.

Since my body doesn’t follow me, it’s hard to even lift a sword.

When he gently thrusts his sword at the murderous feeling he felt from his side, the orc’s arm cracked open.

I used the recoil to take two steps backwards.

Then, like a lie, an arrow falls where he was.

Pababak—

All the eyes of the group of strangely moving monsters were focused on Ray.

As more than a thousand monsters rushed at him with determination, no matter how confident he was in his swordsmanship, he had no ability to withstand it.

Even so, Ray vigorously swung his sword.

Perseok—

The ogre’s head explodes with the swing of the sword, spraying brains everywhere.

Even the old blade of his sword doesn’t stand up properly.

What’s more, the blood splattered the blade even more.

Now it was right to call it a blunt weapon, not a sword.

Attacks three times and gets hit once.

As it continued, his body, which was as strong as a rock, began to crumble.

Muscles twist and bone continuity is lost.

The slowly stiffening body no longer moved according to its will.

As a result, the number of hits gradually increases.

Both of Ray’s legs, which were supporting his body on the ground, fell helplessly.

The woman frowns at the commotion coming from beyond the forest.

“Noisy. What the hell is going on?”

The Ten Seal answered.

“It’s a group of monsters. It would be better to send troops.”

“monster? What do you mean? You should have eliminated all the monsters in Seren Village.”

“Because they reproduce so quickly.”

“…Collect the troops immediately. It would be difficult if something like Seren happened.”

“All right!”

After sending the decathlon, she put on her plate armor and got ready.

‘I don’t feel comfortable. I’d better hurry.’

The first thing they found after walking for a long time was a mountain of corpses that they had never seen before.

The thick scent of blood stabs enough to paralyze the nose.

Would the expression that blood make a river be used in this case?

The blood of the dead monsters couldn’t form a puddle, so a small pond was created.

A good estimate would be hundreds of them.

“What the hell…”

Even the soldiers, including the soldiers, were at a loss for words.

Did they send troops from the territory without their knowledge?

As I walked into the center of the corpses, I noticed a sword stuck atop a small hill.

Then, besides the sword, the person presumed to be its owner was also lying there.

Even at a glance, it was severely damaged, and the Ten Seal clicked his tongue.

“Tsk tsk, that’s serious. With a wound like this, I won’t be able to help even if the priest comes.”

Looking at him, she made a complicated expression.

‘Why is it in a place like this…’

The blood-stained white mask and the white robe peeking out from inside the cloak were familiar to her.

She hurriedly put her hand to her mouth.

Bird fluid— Bird fluid—

Weak, but breath is attached.

With a strange feeling of relief, he quickly called the priest.

“Cure interest! A hero who fought against monsters single-handedly. Our military was favored by Lee Ja. Be sure to save him!”

“yes!”

The priests were very nervous when he gave the order in an unprecedentedly strong tone.

When they are concentrating on treatment while being wary of their surroundings.

The monsters who were looking for an opportunity quietly appeared in the forest again.

* * *

It’s sad to see the elder go away, but you can’t be locked in sorrow forever.

Aira stood up from her seat and muttered as she looked down at the window frame.

“…I want to meet Ray.”

He was the one who stood by my side whenever I was having a hard time.

He doesn’t show it, but if he continues to show a lack of energy, he will worry.

As she remembered that scene, Aira’s cheeks turned red.

‘That’s nice too.’

She carved a magic circle into the air with her beautiful fingers.

I couldn’t leave the village carelessly, but at this distance, there was no problem.

It wasn’t even the distance between the Holy Kingdom and this place, but at least the distance between the village of Bilo and the village of the elves.

Having made up her mind, she moved to a place where she could feel Ray’s presence.
