How to Live as an Illegal Healer - Chapter 99
99. North of the Lake 2
Chaaaagh!
Chow!
The boat carrying Kang Seung-hyeon and his party moved through the water at high speed. However, thanks to the motion sickness enchantment, I could hardly feel the shaking.
“The enchantment effect is good. Is it comfortable?”
“That’s right. Really comfortable.”
It was rewarding to tear off the enchantment from the lord of Kamar. Kim Ho-jeong, who was sitting next to me, said with a relaxed face.
“I’m shaking like this, but my stomach is fine.”
Even though the boat was moving at a high speed, I didn’t feel motion sickness at all.
“Let’s take a look at the lake together.”
So, I was spending a leisurely time looking at the scenery outside the boat, which I usually do not see.
Kim Ho-jeong said while looking around.
“Did you spray motion sickness medicine on your stomach?”
“It’s a bit different from motion sickness.”
Motion sickness is sensory inconsistency that comes from irregular shaking. It occurs when the body feels shaking, but the eyes look fine.
“A motion sickness medicine is something that suppresses dizziness and nausea.”
Therefore, motion sickness medicine is not very effective for people with sensitive senses like Kim Ho-jeong.
“But the motion sickness magic reduces the shaking. Feeling like getting rid of the cause of motion sickness?”
“Oh…”
“And if it shakes badly, it will be difficult to fight. It is a must-have enchantment in water battles.”
“Well, at this level, you won’t fall over, and you can fight while walking around on the boat.”
“It is comfortable enough to lie down on. It’s stable.”
The real reason for applying the anti-sickness enchantment to the ship was to keep the fighting situation in mind.
Kim Ho-jung’s measures against motion sickness are a bonus.
“A battle can’t be avoided anyway, so it’s right to prepare in advance.”
“yes. If you get stuck, you might fall into the water.”
Like underwater warfare, surface warfare is also against adventurers. It’s hard to keep shaking under your feet, but if the ship breaks, it’s the end.
To prevent that, Kang Seung-hyeon gave the ship all sorts of enchantments.
“I was worried that multiple enchantments were an unexpectedly difficult skill, but the strongest archmage in Kamar is different.”
“Performance is good.”
“Right? I guess I should have pampered myself a bit more.”
Seunghyun Kang murmured regretfully. It’s really fun to legally pamper a high person.
If Lord Gabain heard it, he would be horrified.
“How are you going to pamper me?”
“Make the ship a little bigger or add a few more enchantments. Or ask them to attach a magic bullet launcher so that they can attack monsters like torpedoes… or something like this?”
“…lord Gabain is going to cry.”
Kim Ho-jeong smiled and looked into the water. Pitsta Lake was still clear and beautiful.
with a splash!
However, it was dyed red because of the evening sunset, so it had an ominous feeling.
Thinking that a monster was hiding there, I couldn’t just enjoy it leisurely.
“I’m nervous because I don’t know when a monster will pop out. I need to relax… I want to eat Cheongsimhwan.”
“I haven’t fought here once or twice, but I’m nervous like a newbie.”
“It’s scary to die in the water.”
“Jeong then, drink a stamina potion or something.”
Kim Ho-jeong, who grumbled briefly, took out a stamina potion and drank it. It seems to be quite tense.
“In the meantime, when I was on a boat, I had no time to be nervous because I was sick. I wish I had a radio.”
“At times like this, I’m spinning roulette.”
The idle dimension movers could just spin the roulette wheel instead of wasting time and points.
Seunghyun Kang opened the status window.
“huh?”
[Achievement][new!]
At that time, his gaze turned toward the achievement.
It was because there was a notification that there were achievements that had not yet been checked.
“Ah, did you check the achievements that came out last time? I guess I just skipped it.”
“What achievement?”
“Giant Pitchta Crab.”
The two of them defeated a giant pitta crab on the lakeside at dawn the other day.
Then I remembered that [Achievement accomplished!] had appeared, but I had skipped it without checking.
“Didn’t you check that then?”
“The only achievement I’ve seen is [Rare Artifact]. I didn’t check the Pizta Crab achievement.”
“Um… then I guess you didn’t check. I completely forgot.”
“Let’s check right away.”
Kang Seung-hyun and Kim Ho-jeong checked the achievement window.
An achievement that I hadn’t checked earlier appeared.
[Achievement achieved!]
[Achievement achieved: CHITOSAN]
[Achieved by defeating the Giant Pitchta Crab.]
“I saw this.”
“what is this? Cheetos?”
“…chitosan.”
[Receive reward]
Seunghyun Kang pressed the receive reward button.
Tarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I didn’t even have to read the system window anymore, I heard the vicious roulette spinning.
Both of their faces contorted in irritation.
“It’s another start.”
“It makes me angry just to hear it.”
“Doesn’t this damn system even have a mute function?”
[※ You can learn one of the following skills.]
[Skill (Defense Up Buff)]
[Skill (Shell Crushing)] [Skill (
Blessing of the Great Sea Palace) ]
[Skill (Shedding)]
[Skill (Crab Punch)]
The second achievement was an achievement that gave skills.
Among them, I chose only crab shell related skills.
‘Is it one of five? I don’t mind giving anything.’
“What’s the sea palace over there, sir?”
“Cancer.”
“Ah… because it’s a pitztar crab.”
Kim Ho-jung nodded as if he understood.
It seems that he covets the blessing of Geohaegung.
‘What I personally want is to escape, but if possible, a skill that can help with treatment…’ After
the vicious roulette sound ended, a new skill was added to Kang Seung-hyun’s skill window.
[※Skill (defense increase buff) acquired]
[Reinforcer – Defense increase]
[Creates an enhancer that increases defense when used]
[Receives the effect when in contact with the body]
[Defense +100%]
[Duration: 10 minutes ]
‘Defense increase buff.’
Acquired skill is [Enhancement – Increase Defense]. It was a unique buff skill that received an increase in defense when in contact with the body.
‘On contact? So is it a throw buff?’
Kang Seung-hyun activated the test-cum-skill.
[Enhancement – Increase Defense]
Fit!
Then, needles tinged with bluish green were formed in his hand.
It looks like a needle-like throwing buff.
‘Is it about 2cm long? If it’s in the form of a needle, it must be activated like this.’
When I brought the created needle to my body
, [I receive the effect of the strengthening agent.]
[Defense +100%]
[Remaining time 10 minutes]
As the needle disappeared, a buff effect appeared.
‘It must be easy to write.’
If you throw a needle with [Enhancement – Defense Up], you can apply a buff to a target from a distance.
This skill is perfect for wild healers who use crossbows.
“Mr. Kim Ho-jeong.”
“Yes?”
“I came out like this.”
So Kang Seung-hyeon threw the reinforcement needle right away.
Pak!
“Ugh!”
The flying needle was stuck in Kim Ho-jung’s forehead.
He rubbed his forehead in surprise.
“What is this? Acupuncture?”
“Buff skill.”
I know this because I checked it when I put it on my body, but there is no throwing damage even if I get hit with [Increased Defense – Defense].
I can’t use it as an attack skill, so I think I can use it when cheating.
“I’m glad I picked a good one. But you can talk and throw it. I was surprised.”
“Because it doesn’t hurt even if you get hit.”
“…I don’t think he told me when he was sick.”
Kim Ho-jeong had a lot to say, but decided to stop.
“So, what is Kim Ho-jung’s skill?”
“me? I crush the shell.”
[Shell Crushing]
[Drops the target’s defense by 20% when used.]
[Destroys the tissue surrounding the skin with a 40% chance.]
As the name suggests, it lowers the defense. Thanks to the parts destruction option, you can get monster remains more easily.
It says shell crushing, but it seems that all things like shell scales and leather are applicable.
“I got this skill.”
“It’s a skill that lowers defense and destroys parts… that’s okay. It seems like there are a lot of places to write.”
“It’s not a skill that suits a tanker.”
Kim Ho-jeong grumbled as if she didn’t like the newly acquired skill. It doesn’t fit your concept.
“It’s good. They don’t overlap each other.”
However, Kang Seung-hyun thought it was not bad.
With this, I can use a vicious tactic that raises the defense on one side and lowers the defense on the other.
“Still, my name is a tanker.”
“Is it that important? It’s better than picking the same skill for both.”
“It is… it is. Duplicate skills are a sin.”
Chow ah!
Chow!
“you can do it!”
“little bit more!”
While Kang Seung-hyeon and his party flirted happily, Balik and Daisy were rowing hard.
Both of them were motivated, perhaps because they had received a large sum of money.
“Oh, everyone is motivated. After all, money is the best.”
“Financial treatment is good. Especially if you’re using someone else’s money, not your own.”
“Teachers! I can see the forest soon!”
shouted Balik, who was rowing. When I raised my head and looked across the lake, a red forest came into view.
‘It’s a really red place. It makes me feel bad.’
As the name suggests, the forest is full of bright red trees.
The Red Forest is quite large, but it is an area where no one lives except for Tracotti Village in the center.
‘It’s going to be full of monsters.’
The day was setting, so I felt a bleak energy in the red forest.
“I must hurry to get to the village before the sun sets. How long will it take now?”
I have no intention of camping in a forest infested with monsters.
Kang Seung-hyun asked while drinking a stamina potion.
“I think we’ll arrive soon if we keep going like this!”
“Leave it to the guide of Tracotti Village!”
“Faster! Let’s move!”
Chew! Chow!
As they approached the forest, the Baliks rowed harder.
The strangely cool sound of water reached my ears.
“Hey, we’re almost there. I was worried, but I’m glad the monster didn’t appear.”
“That would be nice…”
Kim Ho-jeong looked relieved, but Kang Seung-hyun looked at the surface of the water with an expressionless face.
“I don’t think it will be that way.”
“what?”
It was because something like the shadow of a fish was coming up from the bottom of the lake.
“Get ready. coming.”
Seeing that, Kang Seung-hyeon quickly took out his crossbow.
[Summons Pria’s crossbow.]
“I thought you wouldn’t fight! What can I do?”
“What about us?”
“Should we fight too?”
When Kim Ho-jung clicked his tongue and took out a golden shovel, the Balik couple rowing the oars asked with anxious faces.
“Never mind you two, just keep stirring.”
Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!
Soon, with the sound of water splitting, a group of monsters jumped out of the water.
“We will take care of those.”
