Poison-Eating Healer Chapter 11

Episode 11

The first dungeon attack went very easily.

‘Can it be this easy?’ So much so that I want to.

Poison monsters with a physical rating of only ‘E’ posed no threat to me.

Instead of threatening, some monsters even seemed to retreat away from me.

『If you think about it, Haeseon, you are like a king. There may come a day when I can use them as my henchmen.』

This is what Dr. Jin said.

At the time, I thought it was just a joke, but it seemed like there were definitely people who recognized the poison I was carrying.

But, you have to use words to give orders.

There’s only one thing they can do to me right now.

Offering the core, the source of black ether.

I carried out the work steadily.

Slur… … .

Another black ether is absorbed into my body.

The number of monsters killed here has already exceeded 50.

Isn’t it difficult?

you’re welcome.

Not only did the battle end in a one-sided massacre, but some of the guys were so lowly that they didn’t even need to use ‘dogbo’.

Moreover, as long as he absorbed the black ether, his condition returned to normal, so there were no physical problems.

haha.

If things continue this way, it will be easy to reach about 300BA within today… …

“Krrrrrrr… … .”

Oh.

This is why people must watch their mouths.

As we made our way through the forest and entered the interior, a large creature we had never seen before appeared.

A four-legged animal with a stature that appears taller than mine and a sturdy chin.

Even at a glance, you can feel the formidable energy.

“V1.”

When I call the device, the guy’s information appears in front of me.

<Polluted hyena / type – poison / kill difficulty 2 stars (★★) / physical level ‘C’ / other level ‘B’>

“That guy is… … !”

Polluted hyena.

I’ve heard of this guy’s reputation(?).

Maybe the year before last?

It was said that when the poison gate opened in a local city, five C-rank hunters lost their lives to a single hyena.

Seeing that its physical level was ‘C’, I approached it carelessly, but was infected with its poison and died without even having a chance to do anything.

Although it is said that this happened without the healer arriving, he was so dangerous that his name was known even to me, an ordinary person.

Not only does it have vicious teeth and claws, but even a brush with its sharp mane of fur can cause fatal poisoning.

It is not easy to kill a monster with a physical rating of ‘C’ without even touching a single hair.

The hunters who died in vain would not have been defeated in combat power, but would have become addicted as they were grazed by various attacks.

-Krrrrr… … .

He scratches the ground with his front paws as if starting a car.

It looks like they are ready to leap at any time.

Considering that the average physical rating of the dungeon itself is ‘E’, this guy should be the strongest physically, excluding boss mobs.

I lowered my posture a little while activating black ether throughout my body.

bang!

fast… … !

As soon as I could see that it was jumping, it was right in front of my nose, and I barely managed to turn my body to prevent it from biting the back of its neck.

Kwasik!

However, the hyena’s claws struck my shoulder, and blood flowed from the area of ​​my left shoulder where my T-shirt was torn.

“Ugh… … .”

indeed.

Is this a ‘C’ grade?

My body enhancement grade confirmed through the V1 device was ‘E’.

To make a simple comparison, there are two levels of difference from that hyena.

I feel a tingling pain near my shoulder.

A hunter who has just awakened might panic because of the pain, but I don’t have that problem.

Because I have been fighting against poison in my body all my life, I have become immune to most pain.

-Krrr… … .

After completing one leap, the hyena searches for me intently.

You can’t read his facial expressions, but you can guess what he’s thinking.

You’ll think, ‘Why doesn’t it fall down?’

A wound is a wound, but even if symptoms of poisoning appear, it should have already appeared.

But instead of foaming at the mouth and collapsing, I suddenly disappeared from his sight.

Green onions!

Perhaps my body strengthening level of ‘E’ is based on the ‘whole body’ standard.

However, if the target is limited to ‘legs’, the level rises dramatically.

This is because there is a whopping 1,000 BA worth of black ether on the bridge, which was handed over by Cyril.

A technology created by concentrating Kirill’s energy, ‘Unrivaled’.

The speed was so fast that even a hyena of physical grade ‘C’ could not react.

Suddenly.

I used ‘Dogbo’ at the back of the guy and lightly scratched his back with Exa.

The hyena raised its entire mane and jumped up, but it was as if the game was already over.

King of addiction.

As long as the world’s strongest poison had infiltrated it, it didn’t matter whether the monster was normal or poisonous.

-Ker… … .

The hyena, which was preparing to leap once again, suddenly twitched its limbs and fell down with a pick.

A 2-star (★★) monster died simply by being scratched by Exa’s blade.

The term “death” even if you just pass by is used in times like this.

It could be said that it was a shocking end, as he was defeated by the fighting style he had been using.

Crumbling.

“oh… … . “This guy is definitely a bit big.”

We cut open its abdomen and extracted a black core the size of a thumb.

Although it wasn’t as good as what Kirill gave me, it was quite a large income compared to the small mobs that were like marbles.

Shurrr… … .

Black ether does not require special neutralization.

The moment it enters my body, it completely provides me with energy.

“and… … .”

My shoulder, which was bleeding profusely, healed in an instant.

As I watched it being restored perfectly without leaving a single scar, I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

It’s really amazing.

It certainly seems like I have some pretty strong healing abilities.

-Quwang!

Pori makes a happy cry and lands on my restored(?) shoulder.

For some reason, it feels like my shoulder is being used as a dedicated support.

“Yumma. From now on, you have to pay rent.”

-Kur?

It may seem like a joke, but it’s true.

Is there anything free in this world?

* * *

The polar opposites connect.

This is a story that Kirill and Dr. Jin kept dry and worn out.

“Huh, huh.”

Because of that one sentence, I’m going crazy with lame language.

Sigh!

A huge sickle-like leg flies towards the top of my head.

grasp-

A sharp hole over a meter long appears where I was standing just a moment ago.

If it had been standing still, as the saying goes, it would have been cut in half and killed.

However, his attack was useless against ‘Dogbo’.

I wandered around it as if I was outboxing, looking around the nest.

-Kiaaaaa!

The guy in front of me shows his anger by stamping his eight legs.

Yellow huge tarantula.

The owner of this dungeon seems very angry.

Just wait a moment, kid.

I will let you go in peace soon.

Ugh.

The blade protruding from Exa makes a unique resonant sound.

It is not a pitch black blade like before.

A blade of a new color that shines white like white jade.

This is White Dream, one of Exa’s non-lethal shifts.

A technology that Dr. Jin was so proud of that he named it himself.

It started from a conversation we had before.

『We need a means to neutralize the target. Without killing him.』

“hmm… … . Is it scary to kill people?』

“you’re welcome. To me, people and monsters now look the same.』

“haha. guy. Then there would be no reason to hesitate.』

『I’m not hesitating. All you have to do is choose a reasonable method.』

Whether it’s a person or a monster, there are times when it’s easier not to kill.

And that is the case now.

If he dies, the dungeon will collapse, and the Hunter Association will immediately investigate the area.

So, you need something to subdue it without killing it.

If Exa’s blade touches other hunters or boss mobs, they will most likely die.

In terms of lethality alone, it could be said that most ‘S’ class weapons were worthy of hitting one’s head.

f*ck.

I can’t believe I have to worry about such things when my body could be broken in two if I’m not careful.

I feel like I want to slap Exa on that guy’s head, but I can’t.

According to the information Kirill gave me, when a boss mob dies, ‘it’ also loses its shine.

‘shit. ‘Where are you?’

Paaat-

Is it because I wrote the reading in succession?

I feel slightly dizzy.

If I lose my mind like this, I will die, and that tarantula will also die if it eats me.

For the sake of both of their lives(?), they must find it quickly.

The ‘treasure’ that Cyril spoke of.

Sigh.

Spider webs come towards the head, and both legs are covered from the left and right.

There is no way to avoid it by jumping upwards.

I dived under his stomach as if I was sliding head first.

Sigh-

I can’t open my eyes because of the fishy smell and dust.

But if I stay here any longer, its eight legs will cut my body to pieces.

While I was shaking my head vigorously and trying to stand up, the ‘treasure’ I wanted finally revealed itself to me.

‘found… … !!’

A single flower standing pitifully.

The petals were shining a strange copper color.

The name of this flower is Donghwa (銅永花).

It was a rare species that could only be obtained in poison-type dungeons.

“Cheer up!”

Covered in dust, I clenched my fists.

How many attacks have I had to avoid so far to find this guy?

Now that we have found our target, there is no reason to hesitate any longer.

I quickly pulled out the bronze flower by the roots, put it in my arms, and then slashed its stomach with Exa in a white dream.

-Gyaaagh!

A tarantula the size of a house trembles its whole body.

If I fall asleep like this, my body will fall too.

Faaat.

I activated ‘Dogbo’ and was barely able to escape before the guy fell.

“Phew.”

There is sweat on my forehead.

It was so fast and strong that it could not be compared to the hyena I met just before.

Well, it’s a boss mob, so it’s natural.

-Khuong… … Okay… … .

“what. “Are you snoring too?”

It’s a poison monster that snores and talks in its sleep.

There will be only a few people in the world who see this truly amazing scene.

Isn’t this guy even rated 3 stars (★★★)?

Once again, I couldn’t help but be amazed by Dr. Jin’s abilities.

Dr. Jin’s White Dream is a technology that converts my black ether into a sleep ingredient.

Once Baekmong’s blade penetrates the body, the subject quickly falls into sleep like a person who has been injected with propofol.

There is no better skill to neutralize a target than ‘sleep’.

I tapped the large spider’s head, but it fell into a deep sleep without moving anything.

As expected, it’s Dr. Jin.

Performance is solid.

“good. “I got everything I could get.”

-Quwang!

I walked towards the dungeon entrance with Pori.

“It’s a fascinating thing… … .”

The petals are the same color.

The area around the petals sparkles brightly, as if it were a special effect.

Like the pori riding on my shoulder, it is a rare creature that cannot be found in the human world.

Donghwa is a creature that only lives in the Poison Dungeon, and can be obtained from the boss mob’s base.

Usually, the ‘grade’ of a plant is determined depending on the difficulty of the dungeon, but this one is one of the lowest.

The most prized flower is Geumyeonghwa (金永花), followed by Silver Yeonghwa (銀永花), and then this Dongyounghwa (銅永花).

Although this movie is said to be of the lowest quality, according to Kirill, its value is worth tens of millions of won.

『Is it that expensive? One flower?』

“of course. It cures diseases that are difficult to treat in this world.』

“and… … . Then why aren’t other hunters looking for those flowers?』

『The balance is not right. There is a boss mob in front of you that is spewing out terrible poison, so where can you find time to leisurely look for herbs while avoiding all poison and physical attacks? Most people will fall into addiction symptoms before even meeting the boss mob.』

“but. They said that unlike us, the cores of boss mobs cannot be used by regular hunters.』

『Hehe. that’s right. Entering the Poison Dungeon in search of herbs that may or may not be present is tantamount to suicide. Other than that, there are plenty of dungeons where you can make money.』

According to Kirill, most people don’t even know that such rare species exist in the Poison Dungeon, let alone go looking for herbs.

There are only three categories of people who know the identity of this movie.

High-ranking members of the Hunter Association.

People close to Kirill.

Lastly, the underground world where these flowers are traded.

It was a black market.

『The opposites are the same thing. To stay alive next to a monster with terrifying poison, you’d need incredible self-healing power, right? Just like Haeseon is your body.』

『I guess so… … 』

『Donghwa is basically a poisonous plant. It’s quite tricky to handle. And it has healing properties that are just as strong as poison. The higher the grade of the herb, the higher the effect it provides.』

『It’s hard to understand everything at once… … . I know this one thing for sure.』

“huh? What?”

『Kirill has been making a lot of money with this herb.』

『What? Hahahaha. Yes, that’s right, you bastard.』

A treasure worth tens of millions of won just for one flower.

The flower came into my possession.

It was a moment when I felt rewarded for taking the risk and entering the 3-star (★★★) dungeon.

-Kur… … .

Pori closes her eyes next to Donghwa and inhales the scent of flower petals.

This is the facial expression of a CF actor savoring the scent of coffee.

“If you tear off the flower petals and eat them, you will be scolded.”

-Kur… … .

If I do well, I might be able to cover the cost of the hunter qualification test with this one dungeon raid.

Of course, as a novice, I have to be alert to make a proper transaction in the black market.

“Pori. “If you see a suspicious kid on the black market, bite him.”

– Kuwa!!

The guy snorts and roars as if asking us to leave it to him.

haha. It’s pretty reliable, isn’t it?
