Chapter 154 – 37. Priest, Have You Seen It? (One)
Bleep-
Head… I feel like my head is tearing…
“Off…”
Tinnitus ringing with the force of tearing your ears off. At some point, the consciousness that was under the surface suddenly rose to the surface, and I finally came to my senses and opened my eyes with difficulty, forcing my eyelids that would not open.
Beneath the usual hazy vision, a sky so clear as hell welcomes me.
W, this place…
I lay there for a while, unable to even think about moving, and just kept expanding and contracting my chest, catching my breath several times.
“Eww… Ah…”
Snap your fingers. I start farther from the heart and gradually strengthen the muscles.
What? It felt like there was a huge stone restricting my movements, weighing me down endlessly.
As time passes, the lost sense gradually returns. Sight, hearing, smell… In order.
Fortunately, my consciousness, which had been blurry whether my body was completely broken, became clearer.
I squeeze my hand. Up until now, it was difficult to even lift a finger, but now I can even come to my senses and exert strength. In that state, I rolled my eyes and looked to see where I was.
… Sandy beach?
Golden sand with a soft feel comes into view. Below is a sea with gentle waves. As I was raising the water level, I was hitting my leg repeatedly.
Why am I here…
I do not remember. My last memory was after the seeds of disaster ran wild. I remember what Cordelia was trying to do with me, but after that I lost consciousness.
“Ah… It hurts…”
As the lost sensation is regained, forgotten pain also comes. As if my muscles were surprised, I gritted my teeth and groaned at the sharp pain. Now I can move around a bit. A bitter pain throbbed my whole body.
Eww… I feel like I’m going to die…
Fortunately, the pain subsides over time as I wonder if my life is in danger. After about 10 minutes had passed. It’s not completely, but I’ve reached a point where I can control my body to some extent.
“Off… Ugh…”
I feel like I’m going to die from the pain, but I can barely raise my upper body by pressing down on the ground. First, I had to figure out what happened. I forced my head, which was so stiff that I couldn’t move it, to the left or right.
“Fuck, is this a true story?”
The first thing that caught my eye was the wreckage of the ship strewn everywhere. I guess I wasn’t the only one who was blown away by the explosion a while ago. There was a piece of a dragon’s head on the deck next to me with its head broken off.
For a moment… Then this place…
I look back. A dense forest beyond the beach and a huge volcano behind it. If what I see is not wrong, then yes, this is definitely a land ruled by demons. It was the Demon Continent.
“Eww… Flaw…”
It happens. It felt like my leg muscles were aching, but I didn’t have time to worry about that right now. After falling and getting back up a few times, I hope I finally manage to regain my balance. I took a step forward with my wet and heavy body.
“Lord, Bishop? Hero? Cordelia… ? Sylvia… ? Cough!”
Shake-
Was it because I overdid it? He falls forward again, spitting out seawater. I was unable to get up for a while and was lying face down, coughing up seawater. Only after I had finally removed all the impurities that had accumulated in my abdomen did I wipe the saliva from the corner of my mouth.
Am I really alone?
Does not exist. A measure of a person’s popularity. Looking around, there was nothing that could be called a trace of humans. Even though there are kids like Isabel and Sylvia, the Demon Continent is an unstable place, but being alone in such a place…
It was no different from just telling me to die.
My hair becomes completely white.
At best, the only ability I can use is healing ability. Of course, it was possible to make things like the sacred arrows and swords used by Bishop Lisa, but it was not at a level where such a weak body could catch a magical beast.
The excellence of my abilities is revealed only when purifying or recovering. Everything else was not up to the level of ordinary people.
However…
Are you telling me to survive alone when I don’t even have the strength to protect myself?
It’s impossible. If things continue like this, it won’t be long before you become food for demonic beasts, let alone for a day or two.
Gulp-
It happened again.
Since I couldn’t just sit there and be in vain, I searched around the place where I woke up.
Because anyone is good. Please, because anyone can do it. I wish at least one person was alive.
“Off…”
Uh? Let’s roll our eyes quickly and explore our surroundings. A moaning sound vaguely heard along with the sound of the waves. I listened once again with bated breath, wondering if I hadn’t heard correctly. Just as expected. Something like a groan could clearly be heard from underneath the board.
“Say, man! It’s a person!”
Pure white arms. A human arm is sticking out of a broken wooden plank. Without having the strength to control my body, I run hurriedly and fall to my knees as if sliding on the sand. I lifted a board two or three times larger than my body with all my might in a deadlift position. Eventually, the human image buried at the bottom emerged.
“Silvia!”
Let’s throw the board aside. Sylvia, a familiar blonde Ronin woman.
Her face turned pale as she made a dying sound.
Blood…
It’s a big deal. There’s blood everywhere. No, didn’t they say that the Ronin tribe originally had strong bodies? Last time I heard, he was fine even after being hit by a kraken…
Her condition now was beyond words.
“Please be patient.”
Since I had to take a good look at her affected area, I grabbed her arms and pulled her out while she was buried in a pile of boards.
Fortunately, Sylvia escapes without getting caught in the middle.
I barely managed to pull her, which was twice as heavy as she was, into my body and went straight to find her affected area.
“Ugh… She shed so much blood…”
Oh my god… At this point, it’s a miracle that I’m alive. It would have been really dangerous if we had been even a little late. Without hesitation, I lifted my top and was immediately greeted by a deep dent on my left side.
Jureuk-
It is a sight that is difficult to see with your eyes open. Blood is constantly coming out of the flesh, as if it had been stabbed by a broken piece of wood.
I felt like I would be in big trouble if I delayed any longer, so I created a blue light above my hand and poured out divine power towards the affected area.
“Ah… Just sleep, my body…”
Damn it, is it because I’m overdoing it? As soon as I use my divine power, a feeling of pressure comes upon my heart. However, quitting could endanger Sylvia’s life.
I held on tight and bit my lip until it bled.
Anyway, I tried to overdo it. Is there anything more than fainting?
First, Sylvia had to be saved. Without Sylvia, I would virtually die, so I did the best I could.
“Silvia, let me open my mouth for a moment.”
My fingers were shaking from the excessive pressure that was binding me. She opened Sylvia’s mouth and inserted her finger inside. And I feel like I’m drawing in her blood and creating holy water at her fingertips.
If I tried to extract the holy water in its current state, it would be too diluted to have any real effect, but I thought it was better than doing nothing at all.
Now that I have divine power and even holy water, I feel like my consciousness will be blown away if I make even the slightest mistake.
Hwaaaaa-
Still, it seems effective. After about 10 minutes, I can see Sylvia’s more relaxed expression. It wasn’t her, but her wounds were slowly starting to heal, and she was breathing more evenly.
Mugwort-
“Wow… Huh…”
Her crisis seems to have been averted, so she pulls her finger out of Sylvia’s mouth. I think that’s enough for Seongsu. From now on, she focused all of her energy on the affected area.
@@@@@
“Ha… Ha…”
It’s barely over. I was completely cured after major surgery that lasted over several hours. Unfortunately, my organs were severely damaged, so I used more strength than necessary.
I guess I won’t be able to wake up for a while, right?
Actually, the problem starts now. I somehow managed to save it, but all I did was overstimulate the body’s regenerative ability. As a result, the burden on her body fell entirely on Sylvia, so it was unclear when she would open her eyes.
I know that for the average person, you need to lie down for a good 3 to 4 weeks…
I don’t know. Because Sylvia is not human. Considering she was a ronin, it could have happened faster than that.
The problem is…
How did she manage to survive here without dying? .
Before that, she had to somehow extend her life by finding the rest of the group.
“Okay… Sigh…”
Because the primary task is over. He carries the sleeping Sylvia on his back.
If she continues to stay here, demon beasts will definitely find her traces and come after her. Anywhere would be fine, so I had to leave this place in a hurry.
But really, what happened to other people?
I don’t even know if he’s dead or alive. I wish everyone was alive if possible…
Fuck, Amaneth has no reaction even to this situation. If this is going to be the case, why did you give me the rosary?
… Done. Since whining wasn’t going to solve the problem, I turned around and carefully hid myself inside the forest.
