Poison-Eating Healer Chapter 112

Episode 112

Oscar.

A young man with curly blonde hair and impressive freckles.

He recently got a job at a private mercenary company.

This is a job I chose because I wanted to do what I wanted to do at the time rather than being tied down to a guild.

Oscar, who has just become a new recruit, thinks he made a good decision to join the mercenary company.

Because a truly rare sight was unfolding before my eyes.

-Kang! Kang!

The ‘Deformed Fox’, which used to throw fits at the sight of humans, was running around the desert as gently as a neighborhood dog.

The black sand created by the deformed fox has disappeared without a trace, as if it had never happened.

Oscar couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of the creature, which looked like an herbivore running around in the grassland.

“In front of your eyes… … “It’s like seeing a miracle.”

“haha. You’re right, newbie. Working with Mrs. Lee is always a miracle!”

Now he felt like he knew why the senior veteran was smiling at him like that.

In the first place, Lee Sa-soon was different from the average hunter.

When hunters encounter a magical beast, they have no other choice than to kill the target.

It can be said to be an extreme but simple route in which if he doesn’t die, I die.

However, unlike other hunters, Lee Sa-sun produced new results.

Deformed foxes running around Lee Sa-soon for a while.

Even though the number of individuals was not that large, it was definitely revolutionary.

How much time has passed?

The foxes that were playing in the desert were running towards us one by one.

“Ugh… … !”

Oscar reflexively took out his weapon.

Although he had an innocent expression that could not be considered a monster, his instinct as a hunter aroused his awareness.

“Paha! Newcomer! Don’t do anything useless and get that cage! “Don’t provoke their temper for no reason.”

Oscar put the device in his waistband with an embarrassed expression on his face.

What the senior said is right.

Whatever the original ‘deformed foxes’ were, they showed no hostility whatsoever.

Although they occasionally lashed out, the deformed foxes entered the large cage made of iron bars one after another.

‘To capture a monster alive like this… … .’

The process of capturing the monster that Oscar saw in the video was not like this.

For example, after a fierce battle with hunters, he becomes paralyzed, or loses consciousness after struggling after receiving an injection.

Usually, there was such an intense intermediate process.

But what about Lee Sa-soon?

It was a scene that would make the hunters who had fought to get the injection cry out loud if they saw the current process.

She just got closer, but the deformed foxes that approached Lee Sa-soon followed her words like gentle sheep.

Could it be that Lee Sa-soon is not a human but a monster?

It was so absurd that it made such a ridiculous assumption.

“James. “Will you come here?”

Lee Sa-soon, who had completed the capture of the deformed fox, called Oscar’s senior, James.

“Would you like to measure it?”

“yes. boss.”

James turned on the measuring device in front of the small dungeon entrance.

Ugh.

James checked the numbers on the display.

He scratched his thick chin and savored his appetite.

“It doesn’t seem to be a device error. Judging by the waves coming from the dungeon, there is still a week left until the deadline.”

“hmm… … . “This is my fifth time.”

Lee Sa-soon’s expression was also not very bright.

She was crossing her arms and thinking of similar cases one by one.

“The abnormal phenomenon is continuously recurring. Moreover, the interval has been rapidly shortening recently. perhaps… … “The wavelength algorithm that has been established so far may no longer be useful.”

“boss. “Is that possible?”

Decades have passed since the monster appeared.

It is no exaggeration to say that wavelength measurement has been completely established, even if nothing else has been known so far.

This is because it is a field that scientists around the world have been intensively delving into for survival.

James thought this was a coincidence, but Lee Sa-sun thought differently.

“There is a saying that when coincidences repeat, it becomes inevitable. We must prepare for a new future.”

In addition, we must meet a new hope to save humanity.

Lee Sa-sun raises his head and looks at the sky.

She was drawing a young man’s face using the sky as a drawing paper.

* * *

“Do that with your bare mouth?”

“f*ck. “I knew it would come out like that.”

The yaksha I met again at the black market was the same as before.

Bulging muscles and a dirty beard.

A pressure that makes the viewer swallow their saliva.

And even the disgusting sight of the monster chewing its raw flesh.

A nonsensical thought passed through my mind: Do monsters in this world not have roundworms?

“Do regular customers of the black market have to make calculations like that? “Hehehe.”

The yaksha lets out a low laugh as it bites into the blood-filled meat of the monster.

All goods in the world require a price.

And goods are not just ‘materials’ but also ‘information’.

I asked the yaksha if he knew anything about the demon world, and the yaksha asked me back as if it was very obvious.

‘With your bare mouth?’

“know. “That’s why I prepared.”

I snapped my fingers and threw a small piece of metal at the guy.

“Hoo… … .”

The Yaksha, who rarely reacted to anything he saw, now his eyes sparkle and shine.

“This substance. “Is that the one on your arm?”

“that’s right.”

“… … yes. It should be like this. “Hot ha.”

The Yaksha opens its mouth as if satisfied.

Information about the Demon World.

Since it was information that could not be obtained in sunny places, I had no choice but to come to the black market here.

I felt like the yaksha who gave me the exorcism water would know something.

The more scarce information is, the more valuable it is.

Most people do not even know that there is a place called the Demon World, let alone its characteristics.

Therefore, the price that a yaksha demands is not normal.

I brought with me a piece of the most valuable material I had.

A substance made of the same material as the placell worn on a bracelet.

A gem that boasts the greatest durability not only in this world but in all other spaces.

The substance I gave to Yaksha was ‘Pranium’.

“I guess that’s enough compensation for the information?”

“That’s enough. “Enough is enough.”

They say that applause only makes a sound when you clap your hands together.

Anyone who doesn’t know this might have asked what this shiny substance is.

One Yaksha knew very well how rare the ‘Pranium’ I gave her was.

I’ve seen him many times, but I think this is the first time I’ve seen his face so satisfied.

“Could you please tell me how this pranium was processed?”

“With your bare mouth?”

“… … “You’re cunning.”

“Should you just do it?”

After some back and forth, the Yaksha started talking while twirling the pranium with her fingertips.

“This was before I entered the black market. Has it been about ten years? “At that time, the guy who took my money and ran away probably wanted to live, so he ran away to a prohibited area.”

“Forbidden area?”

“okay. “It was an unlicensed, off-limits dungeon.”

“… … her. There is another place to run to. “You ran away to death because you couldn’t repay the money?”

Entry restrictions and entry bans are similar but different.

Restricted areas were places that only excellent hunters or large guilds could enter, and no-entry areas were areas that no one, no matter how good a hunter, should ever enter.

Although wavelength measurement is possible for most dungeons and gates, accurate values ​​could not be calculated for this no-entry zone.

To put it bluntly, it is said that ‘this wavelength cannot be measured with current technology.’

Because it is such a rare phenomenon, there are at most two designated no-entry areas in the country.

Currently, the military is stationed and monitoring the area.

Should we call it peace in chaos?

To date, monsters have not emerged from the no-entry zone.

“There would have been no other choice. “Even back then, I didn’t condone mischief in business.”

I made an assumption in my head.

A Yaksha from his childhood who was more energetic than he is now.

Would it have been possible to live in this world completely by taking money from him?

Just a little bit, I felt like I knew why he chose the restricted area.

“So what did you do? “I wouldn’t have been able to find him since I was in a restricted area.”

“Why can’t I find it?”

“huh?”

“I went in too. “In a restricted area.”

“her.”

At this point, I couldn’t help but shake my head.

no.

Are you going into a restricted area to find someone who took your money?

It was a persistence that can only be described as truly cruel.

“I think I know why they call you the King of Trade.”

“Hehehe. All you have to do is not lie, but those squires always show up once in a while.”

“So, did you find the guy who took the money?”

“I found it. I found him and killed him. “I didn’t have the money to get it, so I tore it to pieces and killed it.”

“… … Oh.”

“At that time, he was an A-rank esper. He was a typical type whose life was ruined because he was blinded by poison. “Even while running away, he had poison in his mouth.”

“Go away from any drugs.”

“But while he was running away, I felt a strange feeling.”

“Feeling strange?”

“okay. The feeling of space being distorted and twisted. Is it because he’s a space-type esper, or is it because the poison has affected his mind? Anyway, I ended up stepping into a space full of hostility.”

A space full of hostility.

I swallowed my saliva at those words.

“As soon as we got there, we tore him to death. “He had originally intended to catch and kill him, but as the indescribable hostility boiled over him, his heart surged.”

It is said that Yasha found out after killing the man who took his money.

There is no way to go back to the way it was.

Although there were no living creatures around him, it is said that his body was weighed down by an endless hostility that could not be identified.

“It felt like I would lose my mind even if I stayed still. Hehehe. “I walked around like a crazy person trying not to go crazy.”

“The expression is interesting.”

“Hehe. Do you know what’s amazing? There were small creatures crawling on the floor along the way, and even they showed their murderous intent towards me. He showed his teeth when he saw that I had no chance of winning. “It was as if everything in sight was born to kill each other.”

It is said that the yaksha killed and killed again until the energy in his body was empty.

And when he was about to lose consciousness due to exhaustion of energy, he said he encountered a large creature, not a small one.

It’s almost a head taller than me, who is 2m tall.

A creature that resembles a human being.

“… … !”

“I don’t remember exactly. Because I was out of my mind at the time. But one thing was certain.”

“what is that?”

“fear.”

“… … you?”

Fear.

Is it possible for a Yaksha, whose every cell seems to be made of evil, to feel fear?

However, Yasha’s eyes turned gloomy as if she was remembering that time.

The memory of that time must have taken away his appetite, and the Yasha threw away the monster meat he was holding.

“It was the first and last time I felt fear in my life. She lost consciousness with the thought that she was going to die. Actually, I thought I was dead at that time. But when I came to my senses, I found myself lying face down in front of a restricted area, and was immediately arrested and taken away.”

Forbidden Zone and Esper.

And solo.

It is unknown which one had a critical effect.

No, maybe they are all related.

“I thought it was a world fundamentally different from the other world and the spirit world. I knew it as soon as I set foot in it. Because a world full of hostility everywhere cannot exist. If you look at the guy you encountered at that time and his appearance is the same as you mentioned, he is a person from the demon world. I guess you could call him Mine.”

“It’s a demon… … .”

As I mutter softly, the Yaksha smiles meaningfully.

“Are you planning on entering a restricted area?”

“If you’re sure.”

“assurance?”

I am confident that I will be able to defeat Mine the next time we meet.

If I can’t become stronger than I am now, the same result will happen the next time I meet Mine.

So, I was looking forward to meeting her.

“There’s someone I need to meet first.”
