Chapter 120 – 120.Red Infection (1)
***
After giving Lucas a prayer bracelet and returning to Lucedia, we dispersed.
I remembered the way Lucas looked in the room when we parted ways.
Although he was dazed, his joy and excitement did not go away.
Lucas tasted dildo and saw item equipment.
Moreover, since the reason for joining temporarily is to help the world, Lucas will never refuse to join.
‘All right as planned.’
Lucas’ reaction was similar to the cheers of newbies who had just started playing Rupan.
Rupan is basically single-player, but you can use multi-mode to fight together with other players or enter the world of lower-level players.
One of my hobbies is to select newbies, enter the world, and ask them through chat if there is a field or weekly boss they want to fight.
Then newbies are purely nene! He walks away and pulls me towards the boss he wants to kill.
In front of the newbies, I quickly defeated the boss with a character that paid for the final deck.
At the end, press the jump key and run around the newbie’s character.
Meanwhile, newbies were praising me in the chat window, saying I was awesome, and I was happily enjoying it.
For reference, newbies in the Western world reacted more strongly.
Anyway, Lucas suddenly said, ‘Oh, that doesn’t work either. I was sure that I would never have to say ‘I’m sorry.’
The next day.
As I said before when we parted ways, Lucas had arrived at the clubroom since morning.
“Thank you for your continued support today as well!”
“Okay.”
First of all, it’s okay if it’s temporary.
Soon, Lucas will have his name written down on the membership application.
And a week has passed since Lucas joined.
Lucas followed along well with our activities.
“Huh! Huh! Hah!”
Even on morning training days, we trained hard together even though we were out of breath.
When asked if it would be difficult, he said that it was a good opportunity because he had always thought that it was better for priests to build up their physical strength.
The sight of him not giving up even though he was struggling reminded me of the first time I ran with Pamela.
For reference, Lucas’ physical strength was the same as Pamela’s before training.
Is it because a new member joined in?
I had the opportunity to encounter a Vitus executive-level monster that had never appeared before.
[Pierced through the Wild Forest Wolf.]
[Achievement: Defeating the Wild Forest Wolf.]
[Achievement reward: 2 points, reputation 3]
Thanks to this, the points increased from 11 to 13.
And during this week, I also discovered a new way to use Lucas’ skills.
Our party basically has Yeonhwa’s protection department, so we don’t get hurt as much as possible.
So there weren’t many scenes where Lucas’ recovery skills could be used.
Then suddenly I had this thought.
If there was continuous healing, wouldn’t it be possible to not only recover from wounds but also recover stamina?
So I asked Lucas.
“Lucas, can you recover your stamina by using recovery skills?”
In response to my question, Lucas nodded his head as if it was obvious.
“Yes. But even if I recover my stamina with divine power, I don’t think my stamina will increase when I train.”
Lucas had a completely different concern in response to my question, but anyway, I could see that he could recover some stamina by using recovery skills.
“No, I don’t really need to use it for physical training, so it’s okay.”
“Yes?”
When we park the carriage and search for monsters, we tend to walk.
Maika is jumping around like she’s excited, and I have the stamina to follow Maika, but not all the other members have that stamina.
However, the thought occurred to me that if I used Lucas’ continuous recovery skill, I could move faster while maintaining a fast pace, even if not sprinting, and reduce the time to encounter monsters.
And my prediction was correct.
When training, maximum physical strength cannot be increased, but the continuous recovery skill when moving rather than training was very helpful.
“I never thought my skills would help in this way…”
Lucas blinked and was amazed at my new way of using it.
“Have you ever thought about using it?”
“Yes. So far, I’ve been traveling by carriage and just walking around, so there’s no need to spend a lot of stamina looking for monsters…”
Listening to what Lucas said, we may have been in too much of a hurry to use continuous healing to quickly encounter and kill the monster.
However, I have no intention of stopping this good method.
“Go quickly! Go quickly!”
Myka only moves a little faster, but she likes it.
The other team members didn’t dislike moving quickly and fighting monsters either because they were now used to fighting multiple monsters or because they were more active in becoming stronger.
And now it’s been exactly a week.
We arrived at Trento’s habitat again after subduing Trento, who we had not been able to catch due to encountering bandits last time.
After storing the carriage and tying up the horses, we moved at a brisk pace.
Thanks to increasing our movement speed, we were able to encounter Trento within a few minutes.
I found one.
A long, skinny tree-like tree was moving around with its roots sticking out of the ground.
“Lucas.”
“Power Light.”
“Pamela.”
“Vine of obsession! Nail of destruction!”
Just by calling a name, including Lucas, he immediately activated the skill he needed to use.
After seeing Trento wrapped in vines and nailed with magic, he immediately called for the next turn.
“Adelia.”
“Leave it to me! The sword of destruction!”
And then Adelia leapt forward, pulled out her sword from her scabbard and swung.
The power light buff was added to the blade, which originally had excellent cutting power, and Trento’s body was cut in two with a single knife, like cutting tofu.
When Adelia saw the Trento she had cut down, the corners of her mouth gently rose.
Before Lucas came in, there was no need to kill her with excessive attacks, so unless it was a rock bean or an executive-level monster, Adelia would often only use the blessings or wait.
However, this time, Lucas also came in. Although it was not a blessing in disguise, since Lucas came in and used a skill that increased her attack itself, I changed the order of Adelia so that she could also attack.
As a result, Adelia was also able to move her body a lot, and she was often satisfied.
As a swordsman at heart, she used buffs more often, so she must have been itching.
Next week she’ll be fighting Fraton again, so let’s allow Adelia to put in a lot of her damage then.
After taking Trento’s corpse and the magic stone we killed as usual, we quickly moved again and hunted Trento one by one.
“Just because it’s a tree doesn’t mean my attack won’t work! The lightning strike of judgment!”
“If the Power Light is double-stacked, this tree trunk! I hit it with my leg! Hi-yah!”
“Nail of destruction! Nail of destruction!”
“A torrent of rain!”
“Trento! Trento! Gold ticket!”
“Sha, Shining Ray!”
I moved quickly and took turns using skills for each Trento I discovered.
Of course me too.
“Screw Sting.”
I defeated Trento in one blow using a screw sting with an added effect.
Lucas said while retrieving the bodies of the three Trento group.
“Really… This group is amazing.”
“What do you mean?”
“This is my first time seeing a group that kills monsters so stably and quickly. Moreover, this is my first time seeing a party with such a perfect combination.”
Lucas told what he had seen so far.
“Securing safety with Yeonhwa’s protection, restraining and weakening enemies with Pamela’s skills, and improving the power of skills with Adelia’s blessings, and the members attack together. It’s easy to say, but it’s difficult to actually do it like water. .”
“We just had a lot of experience to be able to do that.”
“I think the process of gaining a lot of experience is amazing. Moreover, the boldness of using your strengths.”
Lucas bitterly smiled.
“I never thought I, a healer, would be able to use attack skills close to Trento because I was safe thanks to the protection department.”
This time, when I captured Trento, I told him to trust the protection department and had Lucas, who had strengthened himself by 2 stacks, shoot Shining Ray from close range.
I also wanted to see a long-distance skill being used up close, but would the power be that much stronger if I shot it from up close? This is because there was curiosity.
And the result was that if you shoot from close range, you can penetrate and inflict damage faster than if you shoot from a distance.
“You guys are so… Amazing.”
“Oh! Me! It’s amazing!”
“Heh, that’s obvious.”
“Ohhohohoho! I’m glad you said that!”
“I’m glad to hear that.”
“No, I, too, still have a long way to go. Hehe, hehe, hehe…”
Everyone was happy with Lucas’ words.
I looked down at Lucas and decided to give him more confidence.
“What are you talking about, Lucas? You are also a member of Portis. So you can also be said to be great.”
“Oh, no! I’m a long way off compared to you. Besides, I’m still…”
Before Lucas could finish his sentence.
“Lucas.”
I stopped Lucas by calling his name
“I already told you that if you have shortcomings, you can grow and make up for them. Even if you can’t admit it to yourself now, we will help you recognize it. You are worthy and have potential.”
“Mr. Sihan… !”
Lucas looked up at me with tears in his eyes, probably because he was moved.
Even though it’s a male character, let’s take a mental screenshot of this touching scene.
It was that kind of time.
“… !”
Lucas, who was looking up at me, turned his head and looked somewhere.
“Lucas?”
“Everyone… It’s strange. “I feel something sinister over there.”
“What?”
We all looked in the direction Lucas was looking, but we didn’t see anything strange.
But that didn’t mean we could ignore the fact that Lucas felt it.
Because Lucas has divine power, there might be something he can feel.
“Move in the direction that Lucas felt.”
There was no member who opposed what I said.
