63 – Moonlight Clan (7)

I was very lucky to meet a cleric who knew me well in the southern part of the imperial capital, Felix.

Kate Akrion.

A high-ranking priest of the Central Church of the Empire, she is said to have nursed her younger brother who was suffering from Venom Arcus poisoning for four years.

It would not have been easy to put down all the jobs I had and spend my years solely nursing my younger brother…

Four years ago, I also had the experience of nursing and treating Karin, so I felt a sense of kinship.

and recently.

Through [Anti-Venom], he was able to cure his younger brother, and he said he always wanted to thank me, the developer.

In fact, [Anti-Venom] wasn’t made by me alone, it was co-produced by Professor Meline… .

Anyway, it was very strange that the magic tool I made was greatly involved in someone’s life, and that the opportunity to repay him came in the name of coincidence.

Thanks to her sincere treatment, I was able to recover without any major aftereffects.

“Aww… .”

Because my condition was so refreshing, I tried to get up excitedly, but gave up right away.

It was because he felt intense pain in the upper part of his body that had been injured.

Since ancient times, there was nothing wrong with the words of the priests to take absolute rest after treatment.

‘There must have been no such thing as an intermediate potion… .’

I grabbed my chest and calmed my startled body.

After all, it must have been too much to take the strength of the lycanthrope with bare body.

Even though I prepared myself with a [magical shield] and was hit, my ribs were broken and I suffered major internal injuries to my organs… .

At this level, it was an injury that exceeded the level that could be treated with the magic tools I made.

Perhaps, if Kate, the high-ranking priest, hadn’t done the divine magic in time, he would have suffered for quite a long time even if he was cured afterwards.

“Satchel!”

After Kate leaves.

A few minutes later, the door to the hospital room opened.

It was Shunica with a voice full of emotion, and Luen with a flushed face as well.

According to Kate, they supported me and brought me here, but they must have been waiting outside during treatment.

“I’m here?”

He greeted them slightly awkwardly.

An emergency situation where life was in danger.

The girls must have been very nervous and afraid in that situation, but I was proud and grateful that they got out of there and brought me here.

Moreover, looking at the complexion of the two who were genuinely worried, I suddenly felt ashamed of myself for having been beaten up for trying to stand up earlier… .

“Gwa, are you okay? Aren’t you sick?”

Schnika cautiously moved closer.

She jokes around with a bright, worry-free face every day, but it seems that the shock was great.

Uncharacteristically for her, she looked very nervous.

“are you okay. That cleric named Kate must be a very high-ranking cleric. Divine magic worked properly. A little bit of pain remains, but hardly any discomfort.”

“thank god… .”

“… … .”

Along with Shunika, Ruen also visibly let out a sigh of relief.

I seem to be seeing a lot of really rare sights today.

Ruen’s colorful expressions… .

“I’m sorry, Satchel. because of me… .”

And after Schnika calmed down to a certain extent, she handed over an apology with her head bowed.

No, why is he apologizing?

Something beyond common sense happened that surpassed all the variables we expected.

“Why are you apologizing? It’s not your fault.”

“If I hadn’t forced myself to attack, Satchel wouldn’t have been hurt. I didn’t know the E-level gate was such a dangerous place… .”

“yes… ?”

At such an absurd statement, I unknowingly asked back with an absurd expression.

What the hell is he talking about… .

‘Come to think of it, did Schnika say that this was her first dungeon raid?’

Even so, this is common sense that you can understand just by reading a book… .

It seemed that the fact that I was injured was making it difficult for me to discern my own self-interest.

I spoke up to correct her misunderstanding.

“Shunika. Do you know the identity of the monster we saw in the dungeon?”

“… no.”

… … .

He fell asleep during the ‘classification of demons and monsters’.

I know that even I who only sleep in class… .

I turned my head the other way, just in case.

“What about Luen?”

“… Combat Demons, Moonlight Clan.”

As expected, Luen knew exactly.

I nodded and continued.

“that’s right. The werewolf we saw is a lycanthrope, a clan of moonlight that is famous for its fighting demons among demons. Judging from its monstrous destructive power and huge body, it is highly likely that it is an adult.”

“That’s a demon… ?”

“uh. Among them, it is said to be the strongest in terms of combat power. A demon tribe that is absolutely impossible to hunt at the level of an undergraduate. It’s an apex predator that you can’t even meet at an A-level gate, let alone an E-level gate. Maybe even if Zenit Polgram, the senior of the 4th year of the Faculty of Swordsmanship, stepped forward, he wouldn’t have won? It’s not that something is wrong because of you, it’s a situation where it was natural for anyone to be in danger.”

“… I see.”

Shunica nodded with a blank face as if she had finally cleared up the misunderstanding.

Of course, it is true that Schnika was a little excited at the thought of clearing the dungeon.

It was true that I was injured while trying to save her from being in danger.

But that wasn’t Schnika’s fault.

Neither Ruen nor I thought that action was dangerous at all at the time.

Honestly, who would have predicted that the ‘Lycanthrope’, a clan of the top combat demons, would suddenly pop out of the E-class gate… .

If I had known that in advance, I wouldn’t have even thought of going into the master room.

“Satchel, but why did such a demon show up at the E-class gate?”

Schnika asked as if she suddenly did not understand.

At that question that pierced the core, I thoughtfully stroked my chin.

Demons often appear in special gate dungeons.

In general, dungeons are divided into two types. The first is the case where monsters are repeatedly created in the dungeon and do not disappear even after clearing the dungeon.

The second case is that once the clearing is completed, the dungeon itself, including monsters, will disappear and the gate will be deleted.

Unlike the former phenomenon, where monsters continuously burst out like field gates, the latter is a case where a kind of residence owned by demons comes through the gate as a whole.

Of course, when you reach the master room, you can meet the demon who is the owner of the dungeon.

However, there are many cases where such demons are special entities that do not usually belong, and of course, demons belonging to a clan, such as ‘Venom Arcus’ or ‘Lycanthrope’, do not appear.

In addition, the level of the gate also starts from B level by default.

This is because most of the demons who own the dungeon show skills of B-class monsters or higher.

There was no reason for these demons to appear in the E-class gate where monsters were repeatedly created like the ‘Red Wolf Gate’.

“hmm… I don’t know the details either. but… .”

However, it is not that there is no guessing part at all.

Moonlight clan, lycanthrope.

Once in 10 years, when demons start a war.

A clan of demons that can only be crossed through the invasion gate.

I already knew the gate where all these clans were found.

‘… The dark red gate.’

Commonly known as double gate.

An artificial gate created by Professor Bluecliffe for personal revenge.

There, obviously, there was a residence in the form of a dungeon where the extremely poisonous clan ‘Venom Arcus’ gathered.

-The Dark Red Gate is a double gate created through the pieces of the Eternity Tombstone. After making an invasion gate by borrowing the form of a special gate, bring a certain area of the demon world in the form of a dungeon.

At the time, Professor Bluecliffe said that if you artificially create a double gate, you can summon demons who cross over to the continent only through the invasion gate if you have a medium.

The moonlight clan, the lycanthrope, could have existed enough considering this.

someone…

If it is ‘successful to create a double gate related to the lycanthrope’.

At that time, I thought all the punishment for him was finished and the case about the double gate was over…

My head ached from the sudden unexpected situation.

‘Was there anyone other than Professor Bluecliffe who could make a gate?’

The fact that there might be another double gate suddenly occurred to me.

The double gate is a magical phenomenon that Professor Blue Cliff created over two years.

It was clear that it was high-level magic that others could not easily imitate.

Even if there was, there was no reason for others to create a gate to summon demons unless it was for revenge.

Besides, if there is a gate containing the residence of the lycanthrope.

It was also a matter of where it was located.

‘Is it created inside the gate… ?’

Suddenly, a lycanthrope appeared in an ordinary E-class gate, so the possibility could not be ignored.

But a gate created inside a gate…

It was an unprecedented and unprecedented situation.

“Satchel?”

After thinking for a while, Schnika’s voice woke me up.

“Oh sorry. There is a part that I can guess a little bit, but I’m not sure, so I think I’ll have to report it to the professor.”

To the possibility of a new ‘double gate’ that appeared out of nowhere.

I thought that the luxurious members’ party that was formed at the time might be remade.

Suddenly, I felt a warm hand on my forehead.

It was Ruen who was standing still and listening to Schnika and me.

Ruen asked with a worried face even though I had told her with confidence earlier.

“… Are you really okay?”

“uh? uh, uh… Because I’m really fine.”

A voice mixed with bewilderment flowed out at her sudden action.

Ruen stared at me with red eyes and said.

“… Don’t overdo it. I hate getting hurt.”

“… okay. I won’t overdo it.”

… … .

In fact, the whole party would have been in a dangerous situation if I hadn’t pushed myself too hard, but Ruen was also saying this because she was more worried about my injured appearance.

To the extent that Ruen said this, I could roughly guess how anxious they were during the treatment.

“anyway! For the group assignment, let’s record only the beginning of the dungeon, and prepare to return when I feel better. I’ll report on the lycanthrope separately. Forget what happened today as much as possible. Because I will never come here again.”

“… huh.”

“okay.”

If you rest for an hour or two, the pain will subside completely.

Since Kate Akrion’s divine magic was so effective, it seemed fortunate that she could return to the academy without a day passing.

And I reassured my friends with my usual words…

Actually, I was thinking of coming back here somehow.

‘My vita taker… .’

My pride wouldn’t allow me to retreat like this, defeated by him.

I was inevitably injured while trying to save Schnika…

If I had fought properly, I would have won…

I made various excuses, but it’s a painful reality that I lost to the lycanthrope and even lost my main golem [Vita Taker].

I will definitely come back with a plan to take him down.

Whether it’s magic tools, swordsmanship, or even that, or a completely new method.

I must overcome the lycanthrope regardless of the means and methods.

… I really don’t know, so the professor will accompany me.
