How to get Healed at Demon Farm Chapter 43

Published at 11th of November 2022 08:13:36 PM

The translucent shield triggered by the artifact hit the Baton rod, which made a dull metal sound.

Jang Hyunjae continued to swing the Baton rod, but the once-triggered shield could not be easily pierced.

“Geez! You’re really annoying.”

As Jang Hyunjae stepped back, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Unlike my calm expression on the outside, the heart on the inside was going on a rampage.

I never imagined that I would indulge in a one-on-one duel with a person.

Jang Hyunjae opened his mouth as if his pride had been slightly damaged and growled.

“You d*ck head, I’m not gonna let you go in one piece. Be prepared it won’t end with just a scar.”

The white light sparking at tip of the Baton rod grew in size and sparked fiercely.

Looking at the opponent who was giving off more and more brutal energy, I was briefly contemplating whether I should attack or not.?

‘Is it okay to use the power against a person?’

‘What if he die…….’

While I was contemplating, the Baton rod once again hit the shield.

Crack…..

A slight crack occurred in the shield due to the strong blow that was different from before.

Jang Hyunjae looked dissatisfied, but I began to feel the seriousness of the situation.

If I just defend like this, not only me but also Yerin will be in danger.

‘I have no choice but to attack.’

I decided to attack and muttered the magic words immediately while I was a little away from the opponent.

Flash

A ball of red fire flew straight toward Jang Hyunjae.

Despite the sudden attack, he was not confused at all and avoided the attack.

Flop

Booom

The missed flame ball hit the ground and exploded.

Even if the artifact had an automatic aiming function, Jang Hyunjae’s movement was very sharp enough to avoid every fire ball I threw at him.

Jang Hyunjae pushed my attack harder.

Maybe he didn’t want to give me time to try other spells.

I’ve only magic a few times while practicing with Andras, and I had no experience in combat, so I had no choice but to be on the defensive using a shield.

In the midst of the urgent situation, someone’s alarming voice was heard from Jang Hyunjae’s body.

Beep….Beep

-Bro

“What?”

– We don’t have much time now. I think we need to defeat the Boss monster immediately.

“No…..! If you defeat the boss, the paralysis will go away. Hang in there for a minute!”

– Even if you say tha…

He unilaterally cut off his colleague’s communication.

Now that he lost his composure, he stared at me with a look of intense spite.

“You quack….. the playtime is over. If you don’t want DIE, give me that girl right away.”

Instead of answering, I lifted my right hand towards Jang Hyunjae.

His eyes turned bloodshot.

And as if he wasn’t going to give me any more space, he rushed right away towards me.

I immediately tried magic and responded.

Before I could finish the spell, he deflected my hand with his baton and kicked me in the stomach.

Bwak

I got thrown back in an instant.

I grabbed the ground with my left hand so that I don’t fall down.

Blood started dripping from the tip of my mouth due to the shock I received in my stomach.

But I didn’t have time to worry about that, when I looked up, Jang Hyunjae was rushing with the baton which was emitting strong white light.

I lifted my right hand…

“ Hahahahah….do you think Fire ball will work in this distance….it’s the end…Just…DIEEEEEEEEEE”

When Jang Hyunjae swung the baton towards me I opened my mouth and casted the spell.

< Wind Burster >

BooooooM

A tremendous strong wind hit Jang Hyunjae.

He went flying and hit a tree, then fell to the ground on his knees.

When I stood up, he looked up at me with a face full of shock.

“Ughhhh…How……How the…..How the f*ck an Artifact can have three magic spells installed in it..? Who the hell are you.?!”

He looked physically and mentally shocked, seeing me using a different magic spell.

From my point of view, who doesn’t know much about artifacts, his reaction was strange.

Since this artifact given to me by Andras did not contain 3 but 4 magic spells.

AaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHhh

Once again, a loud roar rang out through the entire forest on the side of Boss Area.

It was a much louder cry than before.

And at the same time, Jang Hyunjae’s subordinate’s voice came back.

-Bro! We’ve got a problem. The boss went into a Rampage state

“What the…”

– Now the antidote is useless. You have to run away quickly!

“I got it.”

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAArgh!!!

Once again, I heard the cry of the Boss monster, and Jang Hyunjae glared at me once and quickly left Area11th.

I didn’t relax until Jang Hyunjae completely disappeared from sight.

After a while, I judged that Jang Hyunjae had left completely, I rushed and confirmed the condition of Yerin, who had collapsed.

“Yerin! Yerin! Are you okay?”

“Ugh… Box… Box…”

“What?”

“Red… box… Antidote.”

“Ah!”

I understood what she was trying to say and supported her to stand up.

I left Area11 and went to the place where the red box was located.

A security employee who was guarding this place also collapsed nearby.

Puk

When I opened the red box, there was an emergency phone and a first aid kit inside.

I found an antidote that said, could detoxify the poison of the Boss monster.

Carefully opened the lid of the antidote so that Yerin could drink it.

Fortunately, the medicine worked quickly, so she gradually returned to her original condition.

The first thing she said when she opened her eyes was.

“That crazy B*stard…”

“You knew…”

“I heard all the nonsense he was talking about even when I was lying down.”

“Are you feeling better…?”

“Yes… Thank you, Sihyeon.” replied Yerin with a softer look and smile.

Ewaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

Yerin’s expression quickly hardened as she heard the cry coming closer and closer.

“Sihyeon, take care of the security staff”.

“I got it.”

I raised a collapsed security staff and fed him with antidote, and Yerin picked up the emergency phone and immediately informed the staff of the current situation.

-It’s  Rift control center.

“Zone E, the Boss monster is approaching. Hurry up and set off a danger alarm!”

– What?

“Danger level red. We need to evacuate the everyone in the Rift quickly.

– Uh… Uh…, who are you? we need to have a report from the security staff in each area…

“Ahhhhhh! I called you because the security guard got passed out. If you don’t want to see everyone die, raise the danger alarm right away!”

– Ah. Oh, okay.

As soon as the call was over, danger warnings and evacuation announcements began to ring inside the Rift.

At the same time, the security guard, who had fallen down, also came to his senses.

“Ugh. Danger alarm..? What the hell happened?”

“The Boss monster is approaching this way. I’ll help, so let’s evacuate.”

“Well, wait a minute.”

“……?”

“There are people in some other areas of Field E. We need to evacuate them too.”

Even though the evacuation broadcast rang, no one could be seen coming out of the Field E.

Maybe everyone got paralyzed.

Ewaaargh!

A Boss monster appeared in the forest with an unpleasant cry.

It was in the bizarre shape of a tree.

The trees and grasses started rotting, whenever the huge monster moved its body surrounded by a strange red energy.

The tall Boss monster could be clearly seen from where we were.

Yerin was the first to make a judgment in the urgent situation.

“Sihyeon. You help this person and make sure there’s anyone who couldn’t evacuate.”

“What about you?”

“I’ll try to slow down the Boss monster’s movement somehow.”

“It’s dangerous. The red energy surrounding the Boss monster is very poisonous.!”

“It’s okay. It’s only for few minutes. When the evacuation is completed, I can also leave. Counting on you, Sihyeon!”

Despite the dissuasion of the security guard that it was dangerous, Yerin ran straight towards the Boss monster.

There was no choice for me and the security guard who remained.

“What should I do?”

“People have entered Area 3, 5, 10, 11, and 12. You two came out of Area11, so we just have to check the remaining four places.”

We decided to check the evacuation situation by dividing into 10, 12, 3, and 5, respectively.

“This is the duplicate master card. If you use this, you will be able to open all the doors of the area. I’ll be right here when I’m done checking.”

“Okay.”

Me and the security guard scattered and headed to our respective Area.

First, I went into Area10. I opened the door with the master card I received from the security guard.

Fortunately, there was no one inside.

Immediately, I opened Area12 door.

“Ugh…”

I was able to find a woman in her 20s who was collapsed near the door.

I quickly raised the woman’s head and fed her the antidote I brought.

Like Yerin, she also quickly regained her mind.

“Are you all right.?”

“Yes. I’m fine Thank you. I felt the poison spreading and tried to run away, but passed out here… “

“We need to get out of here quickly. The Boss monster has entered Rampage state.”

“Whaaat…. Okay.”

I raised the woman’s body by supporting her shoulders.

Although she stumbled a little, she quickly began to walk on her own.

I took the woman back to the place I promised with the security guard.

Security guard had already brought a man and a woman there.

“Then, shall we get out of Field E?”

“Yes, thank you. Only the woman who went to stop the Boss monster should come……..”

The condition of other three, including security personnel, were not  normal.

“I’ll bring Yerin back.”

“…Will it be okay?”

“ I have to go….since I’m the only one  in the best condition. The rest of you, evacuate first.”

“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.”

The security guard bowed his head in guilt because he couldn’t do what he had to do.

I smiled lightly and ran to where Yerin was.

The surrounding area was full of unpleasant redness.

[Yakum’s trust is activated]

[Resisting the toxic substances]

[Completed Resistance not possible at current level]

Unlike during the time of Poison Spore, the ‘Yakum’s Trust’ effect did not completely block the poison from the red energy.

Then I began to worry more about Yerin’s condition.

I hurried up to find her as soon as possible.

Soon I found Yerin who was fighting the huge tree like Boss monster with her summon.

Duddduuuduuuu

The ground shook widely, and the ground sank everywhere to block the enemy’s movements.

Even though it slowed down the movement for a very short time, it was not enough to prevent the movement of a huge tree monster.

The summon tried to stop the monster but it got hit by the huge tree trunk of the Boss monster and fell far away .

“Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”.

Due to the great shock that the summon received, Yerin also groaned with pain.

The Summon, who fell to the ground, slowly disappeared due into thin smoke.

“ Yerin!”

I grabbed her, who kept staggering and helped her stand up.

“You’re here… What about the others?”

“ Thanks to you, everyone evacuated.”

“Really? That’s a relief.”

Maybe because she was exposed to red energy for a long time, her complexion was too bad.

Red blood began to pour out of her nose.

Ewaaaaaargh!

The Boss monster that escaped Yerin’s binding magic began to approach us.

I thought it was too late to run away with Yerin now.

Yerin, who leaned her head on my shoulder looked like she would pass out any moment.

“ Go…..go….leave me……run….”

Yerin kept muttering something, but I already made a decision.

I closed my eyes and activated the artifact .

The words of Andras began to get replayed in my head.

“The fourth magic spell is the most powerful. But, it’s not easy to control, so please use it only in an emergency.”

Recalling Andras’ explanation, I maximized the output of the artifact.

Wroooom wrooooooom

Just by raising the output, I felt a strong vibration of magic in my right arm.

A huge blue light started flickering from my right hand

I lifted my right hand towards the direction from where the Boss monster was approaching.

At the same time as the spell was cast, a bright red flame wrapped around the whole body of a huge tree monster.

BOOOM

I managed to withstand the hot heat storm that came after the blast, using the shield and protected Yerin.

It was such a strong heat that it felt like it would break the protective shield of the artifact.

The seemingly endless flames created by the magic spell cleared up little by little, and the disastrous appearance of a giant tree monster was revealed.

More than half of its body became ashes and disappeared.

The remaining parts got disintegrated so much that it became hard to recognize their original shape.

Thud!

The monster’s body, which was slowly tilting, completely lay on the floor with a huge sound.

At the same time, the red energy that was fluttering around the Boss monster also disappeared in an instant.

“Ha. You’ve done it, right?”

“Yeah… I’ve done it?”

Me and Yerin sat down with a slightly awkward expression on our faces.

Thanks to the disappearance of the red energy, her complexion gradually regained stability.

After a while, Yerin opened her mouth.

“Sihyeon.”

“Huh?”

“Thank you . Thank you for coming to save me… “

“Of course I have to. Thanks to you, I was able to evacuate other people.”

She leaned half-way on me and greeted me shyly, and I replied with an awkward look.

“By the way, Sihyeon.”

“…?”

“If you had such an amazing artifact, why didn’t you help me from the beginning? Do you have any strange hobbies of looking at girls suffer.”

When Yerin asked the question with a half-joking and half-sincere attitude, I scratched my head with an awkward expression, that was a different from before.
