To Hell with Being a Saint, I’m a Doctor

Chapter 387

Episode 387 Disaster (13)

– Rurrrrr!

As the cries of the monsters grew louder, the smoke also grew thicker.

He said he would stay alone, but he was worried about dealing with dozens of unknown monsters.

They were the ones who put even the high elves, the upper race, to sleep with a single breath.

If she fell in front of her, she didn’t know what would happen to Aira and the altar, so she couldn’t recklessly breathe or expose her skin.

Ray waved his hand and tried to blow it up.

Mana responded and became a spirit of speech, but even if he tried to ventilate the heavy smoke with magic, he just remained silent.

Picky.

Even if you attack with magic, it doesn’t work, and you can’t ventilate the smoke, so it was just awkward.

Ray grabbed the dagger from his waist.

Magic doesn’t work, so I wondered if a sword would work.

As I lowered my sword at the monster that took a step forward, the black monster flickered.

But even that was only for a moment.

The monster, which shook like a candle, soon maintained its shape and took one more step.

Ray said ‘Huh.’ and exclaimed.

“Even the sword is useless.”

There was no way.

How on earth can you kill an opponent that cannot be attacked!

“It would be faster for me to collapse than to hold out for two days.”

Two days until the high elves come to support.

Time that would normally have passed in an instant now felt so long.

* * *

Only three hours had passed since the high elves left the temple.

Magic and sword fists and feet in the process.

I tried most of the means to attack, but everything was useless.

Ray tried all kinds of means to kill the monster and get rid of the smoke.

He heated the earth with fire-type magic, created an updraft with wind-type magic, and smoked it, and made a pungent smell and sprayed it on monsters.

But, frustratingly, it had no effect.

Even if the air was frozen, their reverberation penetrated the nose and the gloomy taste passed through the tongue.

A cloud of smoke with clear malice swirled in my head, and on the contrary, I smiled with happiness.

Four hours had passed since he had guarded the temple gate alone.

During that time, Ray didn’t take a single breath and minimized contact with the smoke.

However, it also reached its limit.

No human can live without breathing.

He had endured until now by exchanging mana with his body, but it was impossible to endure for two days under the pressure of heavy smoke.

His consciousness gradually clouded over.

My eyes were open and my body no longer had any strength.

The legs that had been holding on tightly folded.

The waist, which had been straightened with strength, bent hunched over.

Smoke billowed and flowed into his body.

– Come here.

The voices of the monsters, which had only been heard until just now were the cries of animals, gently caressed my ears.

– Was it very difficult? Now come here and rest.

The ink and purple smoke was as warm as sunlight from the sky.

– Rest in my shade.

Those of black shape had various appearances.

A woman preparing breakfast with an apron on.

A stall that sells goods to adventurers passing through the streets.

Children running around excitedly.

Seeing this, a smile naturally formed on his lips.

beautiful.

That look was so beautiful that that smile was crazy.

I thought that I would like to laugh with them too.

– Let’s dream together. So that I can see only happy things forever.

monster.

No, at the end of the beautiful woman’s voice, he collapsed and fell asleep.

* * *

The high elves left the temple and retreated to the outskirts of the forest.

When the smoke no longer reached them, they let out the breath they had been holding.

“Huuk…”

“It was difficult.”

Hans approached Serien.

“What is that? do you guys know something? Now explain. What are those?”

“You said it. It’s a monster from another dimension.”

“That’s not what I’m asking. You knew beforehand that magic wouldn’t work on them. Isn’t that something you’ve experienced before?”

Serien nodded at the question that seemed like an accusation from him.

“There was a time when the gate opened once more before you guys came. Of course, compared to now, the size is small and it was settled quickly, but one black monster came out of it.”

Elisa was told.

“It must have been when the person himself was away for 15 days. So what did you do? Did you do it?”

“okay. barely made it through by magic.”

“Is it magic?”

Hans asked again, frowning.

“You killed an opponent that cannot be affected by magic with magic? Isn’t that a bit odd?”

“It’s not that magic doesn’t work at all. However, the effect is only minor. Three High Elves are determined and pour mana into it. No matter how good the defense against magic is, can they withstand it?”

Pausing for a moment, she looked around the crowd.

“But I was able to kill it because I literally poured mana into it. And that’s only one. Considering that there are dozens of them in front of the temple right now, even if we all work together, we can never get rid of them in a day or two. It’ll be the first time we’ll be engulfed in smoke and collapsed. That’s all we knew.”

“Then what are we going to do? You’re not going to just leave it like this, are you?”

At the other high elf’s question, Serien raised her voice a little.

“I don’t know either! I mean there is no way! There’s no way to defeat that kind of monster that doesn’t even work with magic!”

“…Seriously.”

Elisa comforted the slightly agitated Serien.

“I think you are the one who has the most stories to tell here.”

Then, he pointed at Heprion, whose eyes were half closed.

Then he opened his eyes wide in surprise and pointed at himself.

“Yes? Is it me?”

“That’s right. You voluntarily exposed yourself to smoke. As such, shouldn’t there be something that only the people here know about?”

At Elisa’s sharp point, Heprion said, ‘Hey.’ and expressed surprise.

“A precise and clear question! Of course, I have more information than anyone here!”

All the eyes of the son-in-law were focused on Heprion.

He said with a thrilled expression.

“I don’t know how many times I can give a speech with all eyes on me! Ah, how romantic!”

Hans quickly cut him off.

“I have heard bullshit under the guise of romance for the past hundreds of years. Rather, blow whatever you know.”

At Hans’ words, Heprion nodded and cleared his throat.

“Hmmmm! As far as I know, there aren’t many! Is it just that when I took a sip of smoke, I felt a strange sense of relief and happiness?”

“Are you happy? Are you saying you were happy with that stench? Can you understand the word reward in the romantic industry?”

Serien cast a slightly contemptuous gaze as if facing a pervert.

Heprion, who was about to be dismissed as a pervert, quickly defended himself.

“no! How should I say… the coziness of taking a nap on the grass in the sunlight? what? Doesn’t that make me look more perverted?”

This time, not only Serien but also the high elves around him backed away a bit.

“everyone! Don’t get me wrong! I’m definitely not that kind of elf! Only… I was really happy when I drank the smoke! Believe me!”

“huh. I will believe I respect your preferences.”

At a distance from him, she threw her verbal sympathy.

Heprion believed those words straight away.

“Serien! You are very understanding! I respect you!”

Elisha pondered over his words.

“Happiness… How could I feel happy even after acting like that? I still don’t know.”

“There is no reason! I was just happy! The fact that I could see their laughter, the fact that they had a ‘life’ too!”

At his words, Hans tilted his head.

“Life?”

“yes! After inhaling the smoke, they looked like people living in the village, not black monsters to me! You must have been happy! You must have lived every moment in romance! That’s why he was able to smile so dazzlingly! Ah, I also want to live a life of romance like them someday!”

The romantic high elf cried out for romance as usual.

However, the others were in no mood to respond.

Elisa muttered with a slightly serious face.

“Drinking the smoke and seeing the scenery changed…? What’s more, their dazzling smiles… I didn’t even know they were human, let alone their expressions.”

“…That’s the same for me. This is…”

said Sert, looking at everyone’s eyes.

“Ah, I guess… the way to get rid of the monsters… the smoke… will be the clue… don’t you think…?”

Heprion, who had been talking about romance for a while, jumped up.

“ah! I just remembered one more thing!”

“huh?”

“I think I heard hallucinations! It’s the same as wanting to be happy with them… It’s the same as hating someone… Umm… It’s hard to say because I’m not sure! It could just be my misunderstanding, so I won’t say anything!”

He kept his mouth shut with a refreshing expression.

Didn’t I say that people get the most angry when they don’t finish what they said?

Serien and Hans Elisa shouted in frustration.

“At times like this, it’s time to talk!”

“Romantic or whatever is good, so let’s talk about it quickly!”

They wanted to catch even a small clue.

A monster impervious to mana.

They were the worst enemies of the beings of Middle-earth.

When they left, there were dozens of them, but now they may have increased to hundreds.

That’s why I had to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible and go to protect the temple.

Heprion, who was pushed back by the back of his head, took a moment to steam before opening his mouth.

“It was like I could hear sobs like ‘why why are we…’”
