How to Live as an Illegal Healer - Chapter 79
79. City Camar 2
“Why can’t I go out of the city?”
“We are busy bodies!”
“Quiet everyone! It’s an order from Upper Kamar and the Mage Tower!”
As we got closer, the Kamar soldiers were chasing away the gathered people.
“What is it?”
“I should go and ask.”
Kang Seung-hyun approached the man who seemed to be the boss.
“What’s wrong?”
“I won’t take any more questions! go back!”
The boss did not listen to Kang Seung-hyeon and tried to kick him out.
“I think you’ll change your mind when you see this.”
Kang Seung-hyun did not change his expression and emitted red light from his hand.
“That’s… Crimson Emblem?”
“A mark that symbolizes belonging to the Mage Tower!”
When Seunghyun Kang presented the Mage Tower emblem, the attitude of the soldiers changed dramatically.
“I didn’t know because I didn’t feel any magic power.”
“Of course I thought he was an adventurer… No, he was a commoner. Because the magic power is too low.”
“No matter how adventurous you are, you won’t be able to use a single skill if your magical power is that low.”
At the appearance of a magician with magical powers inferior to that of a bug, the Kamar soldiers were confused and whispered.
“Then, did you use magic cutoff?”
“A skill that blocks the mana leaking out of the body?”
“I heard that it’s a very difficult magic…”
“I’m sorry I didn’t know everything!”
They hunkered down, unaware that the opponent in front of them had less magical power than themselves.
It was because he thought he was a strong man who could hide the mana flowing from his body.
“My name is Seunghyun Kang, a Healer belonging to the Crimson Magic Tower and belonging to the Adventurers’ Guild.”
Kang Seung-hyun opened his mouth with a very calm face.
“Why can’t I go out of town now?”
“I guess you didn’t hear from the Mage Tower.”
The soldier looked around and whispered.
“Currently, the city of Camar is closed for safety by order of the Mage Tower.”
“You shut down the city?”
“That’s right.”
The soldier nodded and said.
“Currently, there is a problem with the magic center, so it is said that the Kamar protective barrier magic has been canceled.”
Since Kamar is a city where mages live together, strong magic power emanates from the entire city.
‘Monsters are often attracted to magic and attack villages or cities.’
So, the mage tower used barrier magic to protect Camar. To prevent magic from leaking out of the city and to prevent monsters from approaching.
Thanks to that, the area around Camar has been very peaceful up until now, but that is not the case now that the magic center has been destroyed.
“It is too dangerous to go out of Kamar when the barrier is gone. Until the inside of the castle, the wizards spread a temporary barrier, but…”
If you move a little further from Camar, you will encounter a powerful monster attracted by magical powers.
The soldier opened his mouth with a confused face.
“To reduce the damage even a little, we have decided to close the city until the mage tower is repaired.”
Since there is a problem with the magic tower and the barrier has disappeared, the only way to prevent outside intrusion is to remove the bridge and close the entrance.
“We were dispatched to protect the area around Kamar in case of an unexpected situation. We are currently explaining the situation to the citizens of Qamar…”
The soldier looked around at the crowd and said.
I kindly explained to them that there was a problem with the mage tower and they were blocking their passage.
“Citizens don’t listen.”
Everyone was clamoring for the use of their legs, not listening to the soldiers.
‘Because wizards aren’t cheap.’
As most of the citizens of Kamar are magicians, they have a habit of ignoring people with low magical power or who are not magicians.
“I have to go to the city Charon quickly!”
“Come on, install the bridge! So that we can use the wagon!”
“You dare to be a mere soldier! You know who I am!”
The mages showed their dirty nature and shouted,
“If you leave the bridge, the monster will enter the kamar!”
“If you want to go that way, go by boat!”
“The bridge cannot be installed until the barrier is fixed!”
The soldiers guarding Camar were not at ease either. Amid the confrontation between the citizens of Kamar and the soldiers, the chief soldier opened his mouth.
“I will not stop you from crossing the lake. However, if you go out of Camar now, you will face a large number of monsters driven by magic.”
The leader sighed and continued.
“We are only protecting Kamar. We cannot guarantee the safety of those who have left!”
This is the position of Cameron.
Wait until the situation calms down, or if you want to get out, hire an adventurer to protect you from monsters.
“Why should we rely on an adventurer like him?”
“Stop talking and build your legs!”
But the people of Camar city did not even pretend to listen to the soldiers.
“If you guys won’t build a bridge… I will!”
A mage stepped forward and cast a spell towards the lake.
“Ice Road!”
The lake water froze instantly and an ice bridge was formed.
“What are you doing!”
“It’s a little slippery, but with this, even a wagon can cross the lake!”
Ignoring the panicked soldier, the wizards started crossing the ice bridge.
“Damn it! That guy used magic!”
“Don’t go near the water! Due to the influence of the magic I just used…”
Chow ah!!!
Before the soldiers could finish their words, a column of water gushed out of the water.
“Aaaaaaaaa!!!”
“Keah!”
A group of monsters protruding from the water attacked the wizards who were walking on the ice bridge.
“It’s a fish man!”
“They are Pizta fish!”
“Damn it, raise your weapon!”
Pizta fisherman.
A monster with a terrible appearance that looks like a mixture of a human and a fish. It is one of the monsters that are very hostile to humans.
Originally, it was staying in the depths of Pitsta Lake because of the barrier, but it came up to the surface of the water because the barrier disappeared.
“If we don’t stop here, they will enter Kamar!”
“Fight!”
The soldiers began to subdue the fishmen with spears and shields. However, it is not easy to deal with fishmen while rescuing citizens.
“Oh, that’s all going to die!”
“Shall we join?”
“It’s good!”
[Summons Freea’s crossbow.]
Kang Seung-hyeon took out a crossbow.
The number of fishmen who have risen above the water is not small. Two dimension movers are enough to handle.
‘First of all, let’s solve the drowning people.’
A few wizards who were attacked by the fishmen were drowning and struggling.
“Please save me!”
“Ahhhh…”
Pak! Cucumber!
Kang Seung-hyeon blew wind arrows at the drowning people.
[Fria’s Bond Pocket]
[Generates wind potion arrows]
[Air attribute enhancement +25%]
[Duration 3 minutes]
If you use a cold potion in a hot place, you can use the wind potion and water as if you can survive in the heat. If you go in, you can breathe.
‘If I do this, I won’t drown.’
For those who fell into the water, the measures were over. Kang Seung-hyun shouted at Kim Ho-jung.
“Ho-jeong Kim, go and break the ice bridge. I will take care of the fish.”
What’s urgent right now is the ice bridge made by the wizard. If you leave it alone, fishmen and other monsters will attack Camar.
“Goes! Bloodstone buff!”
Chew!
Kim Ho-jung took out a bloodstone and cut his arm. The bright red blood that flowed from his arm seeped into the bloodstone.
[Vampire impulse!]
[Attack power increases for a certain period of time.]
Splash!
Kim Ho-jeong put a bloodstone buff on her body and jumped into the water full of fishmen.
Of course, the fishmen rushed at Kim Ho-jeong, but
‘loaded!’
PABABABAK!!!
“Grrrrrrrrrrr!”
The arrows sent by Kang Seung-hyeon were lodged in their bodies.
‘I’m not a tanker…but it’s easy to pull off monsters with aggro like this.’
Fishmen are monsters that move freely between water and land. Because they breathe through their skin, they value their skin above all else.
‘Out of the water, if you scratch your skin a few times, they’ll get mad and run at you.’
In fact, the fishmen ignored Kim Ho-jung and attacked Kang Seung-hyeon, who attacked them.
“Rumble!”
“It’s hazy.”
The fishmen inflated their cheeks and spewed out powerful streams of water. It is an underwater monster’s skill, the water cannon.
Woo woo woo!!!
“The fishmen are using the water cannon!”
“Everyone raise your shields! The powerful leader cannon has the power to break even rocks!”
“Demon magic shield!!”
“No magic! A monster is coming!”
“No, then what?”
“I have to hide behind the soldiers!!”
The Kamar soldiers and wizards prepared their own defenses to block the water flow.
‘I don’t have a shield…’
Kang Seung-hyeon took out a crimson, discreet ruby.
Knock!
When I held the ruby in my hand and activated it, red light came out.
[Concentration!]
[Receives the effect of ‘Concentration’ for a certain period of time.]
[Evasion rate increases!]
Chow aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Kang Seung-hyun ran forward to avoid the pouring water.
‘Fishmen’s skin is moist and wet, so stone arrows don’t work well. I need something sharper.’
Kang Seung-hyeon looked around and saw the throwing spears of the soldiers.
“Is that a throwing spear? Please lend me.”
“yes? All right!”
Several soldiers held out their spears to Kang Seung-hyeon. Kang Seung-hyeon thrust his spear into his inventory and aimed his crossbow at the group of fishmen.
[Fria’s bond pouch]
[Generates a Kamar Spear arrow.]
Get it!!
The arrows of the Kamar Spear pierced the bodies of three or four fish at the same time.
‘As expected, the javelin is different.’
When the spear was turned into an arrow, an object that combined the characteristics of an arrow and that of a spear was born.
“Rumble!!”
“Urrah!”
The fishmen continued to fire their cannons, but Kang Seung-hyun lightly dodged the flying stream and pulled the trigger.
with a splash! with a splash!
Every time the Kamar Spear arrow was fired, three or four fishmen disappeared into the water.
“okay! You came up!”
In the meantime, Kim Ho-jeong climbed onto the ice bridge. His stamina had been cut quite a bit while swimming through the water.
‘First of all, stamina recovery.’
[Pria’s Bond Pouch]
[Generates medium stamina potion arrows.]
Pak!
As soon as he fired a yellow arrow at Kim Ho-jung, the stamina that had been cut went up at once.
“Cut off the midpoint of the bridge.”
“good! This would have been perfect if I had a pickaxe… but I can’t help it without it!”
Kim Ho-jung started hitting the ice block with his sword.
‘It’s something I always think, but I think it would be more efficient for Kim Ho-jeong to use a weapon other than a knife.’
Quack! Quack!
blah blah blah!!
Kim Ho-jeong, who received the bloodstone buff, split the cold ice leg with a knife.
“Mission accomplished!”
shredded!!
Broken pieces of ice flowed all over the lake.
With this, outside monsters were prevented from entering Kamar.
‘And finally…’
[Pria’s bond pouch]
[Generates medium stamina potion arrows.]
[Generates medium stamina potion arrows.] Shoots
stamina arrows and stamina arrows at injured soldiers and wizards sent.
This won’t heal the wound, but it will hold on until it heals.
“Your physical strength has been restored.”
“That person was a healer…”
“Thank you!”
People who were hit by arrows muttered with relieved faces.
“Thank you very much, Seunghyun Kang! I live thanks to you.”
The chief soldier ran to Kang Seung-hyeon. There were injured, but no fatalities, and all drowning people were rescued.
“Because monsters are attracted by magic, the more people there are, the higher the chance of monsters appearing.”
“Everyone, please wait inside Camar.”
“If you go outside now, we cannot help you.”
“Oh, I see ….”
The people who were making a fuss about going out went back to Camar only after being severely beaten.
“What about the fish man corpse?”
“Parasite monsters arise from the corpses of corrupt fishmen. It must be pulled out and disposed of.”
Following the leader’s order, the soldiers began to rescue the Pitsta fishermen.
“Aww!!”
“What’s going on?”
Then one of the soldiers screamed. A fishman who had been pretending to be dead coughed up blood at the soldier.
Chow!
Eoin died shortly thereafter. The soldier said while drenched in fish man’s blood.
“This guy has blood in my body…!”
“Fishman’s blood is dangerously toxic… We need to clean it up right away.”
When fish man’s blood comes into contact with human skin, symptoms of poisoning appear, including severe pain and turning the skin blue.
“Are you poisonous too?”
“Nothing to worry about. If you quickly wipe off the blood and dry the skin, the toxicity will weaken.”
The head man wiped the fishman’s blood off the soldier’s arm with a white cloth.
“If the poison is weakened, it can be cured with a heal. Directly to the healer…”
Kang Seung-hyun looked at the soldier’s arm.
‘Like that man said, if fishman’s blood gets on your body, it won’t be a problem if you wipe it off right away.’
The problem was that the skin was turning blue at a tremendous speed even though it hadn’t been long since it came into contact with the blood.
‘It’s not the normal speed.’
It sounds like there’s obviously something wrong.
‘[Eye of Observation]’
Let’s use the [Eye of Observation]
[Infection]
[There is fishman’s blood all over the body.] [
The skin is terribly mutated.]
[The fishman’s blood enters the blood vessels through the wounds. Entered.]
All sorts of informational keywords began to appear.
“I’m sorry… for being careless.”
“Okay. Once the first aid is over, call a healer…”
The chief soldier was about to call someone.
“It’s useless. Heal won’t work.”
Seunghyun Kang stopped him and said.
