To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 343
Episode 343 Golden Return (2)
The woman was quite nervous for what she said.
No matter how powerful the mana is, it is nonsense to push yourself as a sword master.
It was necessary to determine whether the number just now was a coincidence or not.
‘I met an annoying guy.’
It’s just standing crookedly, but strangely there’s no gap.
She waved her hand once.
Then the monsters that had been attacking the soldiers until just now changed their direction.
“Kurrureu…”
They faced Ray with cries that chilled the spine.
From tiny goblins to kobolds, including ogres and trolls.
Uncountable number of monsters began to flock at the woman’s beckoning.
“Koooooo!”
“Chwiiik!”
It is an overwhelming number that makes the viewer’s hamstrings numb.
The soldiers fled in fright at the enormous army of monsters that exceeded 2,000 even if they were caught.
“Sir Seongjae!”
“We will protect you!”
When the two captains, who were not in good health, tried to stand up using swords as staffs.
Ray, who only turned his head, stared at the monsters and opened his mouth.
“die.”
The will forged in his heart became a dagger.
As a single word echoed through their eardrums, the monsters that were running right in front of them collapsed one by one.
The hearts of the monsters stopped their activities at the same time.
Whoops-!
Koo-!
As thousands of monsters slammed their heads into the ground, the woman’s mouth dropped open.
“How did this happen…”
It was an unexpected situation.
He thought that if there were thousands of monsters, he would at least reach the capital of Selonia.
One result was not.
More than half of the troops were lost in an instant.
The swords that overwhelmed the Paladins quickly returned to the woman’s side.
“…you should avoid it.”
After looking at the situation calmly, they added a comment, and she regained consciousness and nodded her head with difficulty.
“…Retreat.”
It was truly an unheard-of mystery.
If he had known that such a madman existed, he would not have attempted to attack the Seongguk with this amount of people.
It is best to get out of here somehow.
When the woman thought so, Ray approached at a terrifying speed.
It took me to blink a few times to reach right in front of my nose, and the swords that reacted belatedly rushed at me.
He swung his sword fiercely and attacked all directions.
He didn’t panic even though the blades were flying with nowhere to run.
Rather, he draws a circle with his left hand and unites their attacks.
After applying the impact with mana, the swords bounced off at high speed.
Kwaaaang—!
Even against the Paladins, they were swords that were relaxed.
The woman became impatient when only four of them were rendered incapable of fighting.
‘Keuh… the wound hasn’t healed yet.’
She suffered internal injuries from the impact of her aura blade breaking.
If mana was recklessly flowing, the mana load could not withstand and could break.
However, you can’t just worry about it.
While the swords were wasting time, she swung her sword and fired a sword aura.
Even if it rots, it’s called Junchi.
Although wounded, it is the sword master’s sword.
It was hard to notice because it was fired stealthily from a blind spot.
As the woman expected, the flying sword touched Ray’s back.
‘done.’
she called for joy
but.
Slowly—
the sword spirit disappeared faster than it had flown in.
Ray, who raised his hand to disintegrate the mana, turned his body.
Did you say that the wound on the back is the swordsman’s disgrace?
Ray, who was almost hit by his sword skill on the back, was in a very bad mood.
“Is this playing a prank on someone’s back?”
I slam the two approaching swords into the ground.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!”
Ray grabbed them as they drooled.
Then he throws it at the woman.
The woman mercilessly cut down the swords that flew like arrows.
“Aagh!”
“Kreukreukreuk…!”
Even Ray stuck out his tongue.
I never thought I would kill my allies who are struggling to protect me without hesitation!
Still, thanks to not trying to force it, the distance was further than before.
In order to help her survive even a little, the wagum disregarded their lives and rushed.
While dealing with them, Ray, who was trying to chase the woman, groaned.
‘It consumed too much power at once.’
The mass killing of monsters brought a sense of burden to his mental strength.
It was only natural that he had started using willpower less than two years ago.
He could have caught him if he overdoed it, but he was worried about Captain Benes, who was placed behind him.
After looking around for a while, Ray stepped down on the ground with regret behind him.
“Chicken instead of pheasant. I’ll have to catch you guys and interrogate you.”
Ray smiled and took one step closer.
In response, the swords took a backward step.
No matter how much they abandoned their fear of death, they did not want to fight a battle without a chance.
Having let the woman run away, now it was their turn to escape.
They exchanged glances with each other and nodded their heads.
No matter who came first, the swords fired new models in different directions.
The situation that seemed likely to be lost at any moment was turned upside down.
As he fought by his side, the morale of the soldiers behind him also rose.
The Holy Knights, whose blood was boiling over the overwhelming battle against thousands, raised their swords high.
“The Holy Son has come! Do not show weakness!”
“Wake up! Strike down and kill all the evil groups that attacked the Holy Kingdom!”
“Wow!”
It goes without saying that it is easier to pursue than to wage an all-out war.
Moreover, now that all the monsters had died, the number of troops was overwhelmingly large.
So, no matter how swords they were, they couldn’t face them head-on.
It’s not enough to have to fight an esoteric fight, and the monster is chasing you from behind, so you can’t even run properly.
In the end, all wagum except for a few were killed or captured.
Among those tied to the ropes, some committed suicide, but thanks to Ray’s pressure with mana, five or six were saved.
If you take them to Selonia and interrogate them, you will probably be able to find out a lot of information.

The upper half of Hafman gradually expanded its upward path based on the bar funds it had.
As they began to eliminate the merchants in the nearby territories where trade had been cut off, the lords, who felt a sense of crisis, urgently allowed the half-man merchants to go up.
When that happened, the upper half of Hafman went on a winning streak as if they had wings on their backs.
Normally, he only counted gold coins on the table, but when something big happened, his true value was demonstrated.
It was not enough to monopolize the ascending route directly permitted by the lords, and now the size of the upper ranks has more than doubled.
The branch managers just stuck out their tongues at Hafman’s amazing skill in turning a crisis into an opportunity.
Whenever they see signs of war breaking out in the neighboring kingdoms, they calm them down.
He was so good at walking a tightrope between kingdoms that now he couldn’t even touch the upper half of the upper half unless it was a decent kingdom.
Based on the recognition and funds of the Sanggye, a guild acquired a position equal to that of a kingdom.
Even so, Hafman was still not satisfied.
Halfman chewed his nails in the office.
“Prevention of war has also reached its limit. Now we need another way.”
No matter how much it has grown noticeably than before, the top is just the top.
The fact that the war could have been prevented so far was not only due to the wealth of the top, but also thanks to Halfman himself, who demonstrated his abilities for 12 minutes.
But that too has reached its limits.
The atmosphere between the kingdoms is gradually escalating, and the appearance of preparing for war by buying goods has also come into view.
At this point, taking one step off and contemplating from afar is beneficial for the upper ranks.
However, if that happens, one means to check the dark forces will disappear.
It is clear that if they miss this moment, they will most likely not even give themselves room to intervene.
“I guess I need to talk to Danju.”
Harpman stroked the crystal ball for communication that he had cherished in his arms.
Unlike other crystal balls, its size is very small.
You could carry it in a leather pouch if you wanted to.
However, since the amount of magical power contained inside is small, it cannot be used a few times.
This means that it is used only in case of an emergency.
While I was contemplating whether or not to use it now, Gunther, the branch manager, entered the office.
Gunther lowered his head and spoke.
“As you commanded, we have organized all the surrounding merchant houses.”
“Good work. How is the situation?”
“There is nothing special. The nobles’ caravans were a bit difficult to deal with, but it wasn’t a problem. It’s just…”
He blurted out, and Halfman tilted his head.
I have never seen a reaction like this while listening to Gunther’s report.
Did something go wrong during processing?
While waiting for the words to follow, instead of answering, Gunther politely offered something.
“Please look at this.”
“This is…”
Halfman handed the parchment.
When I carefully opened it, several numbers were drawn in a disorderly manner.
At first glance, there is a corner similar to the ledger at the top.
Halfman, who was staring at the parchment with a stiff face, spoke as if muttering.
“The money flow is strange. It’s as if another ledger was intentionally created.”
After grasping the gist with just one glance, Gunther chimed in admiringly.
“you’re right. I think someone was continuing to fund the top end.”
“….”
It is ironic that there is enough money left to maintain the top rank even though there is only an outgoing expenditure.
He frowned and stared at the parchment.
“Strange. I mean, it smells like it.”
It stretches up to its nose and sniffs.
It is said that there is a corner like a dog.
Gunther asked with a puzzled look.
“…the smell?”
“The rotten me on the parchment vibrates. Where did you find this?”
I asked a question, and the question came back.
Gunther thought for a moment before answering.
“I found it in the vault of the ruined guild. They hid it so tightly that they couldn’t find it.”
Hafman’s already distorted face grew even more frowning.
“That means it’s award-winning. If you were going to hide it, you wouldn’t have put it in the safe. No one would have been able to find it if it had been planted in the mountains or in the mansion.”
I heard that it is.
Had they tried to hide it in a privately owned mansion, they would not have been able to find it.
However, the ledger was in the safe at the top.
Why?
Once I had a question, the thoughts continued uninterrupted.
Harpman said in a serious tone.
“It seems we have bitten the bait.”
