Chapter 9 – 2. I Met You First… Intermediate Spirit Undine

“Kuueueek!!!”

The frenzied Hobgoblin rushed at Sein, waving his severed arm. Sain, who was holding something in his hand, threw a knife at the hobgoblin who was rushing at him, but he was powerlessly stuck in his shoulder, but he could not stop the hobgoblin from charging.

The blood spurted from the severed wrist splattered around Sain’s eyes, and I ran back to save him and hit his neck from behind. The longsword, which penetrated unhindered, was enough to slit the hobgoblin’s throat and knock his head off.

In a moment of relief, I felt intense heat in the back of my head, but it was obvious that even if I avoided it, I would get hit. It was quite heavy, but I grabbed it tightly and threw it with all my might, and the corpse with its head missing flew away like a shot put.

-Pur!

The flying fireballs could not pierce the Hobgoblin’s corpse, and the flames engulfed the corpse and began to burn it. Looking at the goblin shaman in the distance, he too was sweating and catching his breath. When I looked to see why, it seemed that he had very little mana left even though he had the ability of his staff.

Realizing that now was the right time to deal with it, I grabbed the long sword dragging on the ground and ran straight ahead. The exhausted guy must have been taken aback, his expression twisted ferociously, but he didn’t stop casting. A red aura was growing from the staff he was holding.

A smile came across his face as he spurred across the burning corpse. The empty right hand glowed black and stretched out. At that moment, the burning Hobgoblin’s corpse jumped up and attacked me.

Embarrassed, I kicked it off with my boot to keep it from igniting and tried to cut off my upper body, but the hobgoblin’s extended grip grabbed my sword and blocked it. As if in a contest of strength, they pushed their swords away and confronted each other, and felt the heat from a distance as if the casting was over.

Fucked. Should I drop my sword and roll? Even if I avoided the fireball, the moment I rolled on the floor, if the Hobgoblin attacked me and crushed me, I could not resist and burn to death.

[Good work Sein!]

At the moment I heard a clear voice, a thick stream of water flew from behind and collided with the fireball, and steam covered my vision with a loud explosion.

-Puuuuu!!!

I immediately kicked him in the stomach and severed the hobgoblin’s waist. Seeing that the collapsed upper body fell to the floor and the patterns near the heart were concentrated, I immediately threw out my longsword. I felt the feeling of passing through my heart in my hand, and the pattern disappeared in a puff of smoke.

The goblin shaman was casting again, screaming with an indignant face.

“Keew!! Kkeuk, Kkeek!!!!”

I felt the intuition that it would be over if I just avoided the next fireball, so I firmly gripped my long sword and straightened my stance. But Undine’s idea was different, so she gathered water droplets in the air and created a spear with a thick stream of water.

[Dirty goblin, die quickly!]

The spear made of water pierced the nape of the goblin shaman’s neck. Her eyes rolled over, and the wand she clutched at the deadly goblin pardon shook greatly. I thought it was the end, but things took a strange turn when the goblin shaman’s hand holding the staff began to dry up.

Anyone could see that the magic power remaining in the staff was being sucked away, and the ball of fire formed on the staff gradually grew in size and grew larger than my head in real time. I looked back at Undine with eyes telling me to do something, but the spear I shot earlier looked at me with the same bewildered eyes as if it was my last strength.

His skinny hand broke as it was, and the cane he was holding slumped forward helplessly. I grabbed the nape of Sein’s neck, who was covered in blood and couldn’t see, and ran to the other side as quickly as possible, but a large fireball covered the place where we were, and soon an explosion louder than ever hit us with such force that it would tear apart our eardrums. .

-Puuuuu!!!

– Kurleung

– Patter! Chin tuck.

[Three!]

A loud crashing sound, the sound of Undine’s scream, and a large amount of dust spewing out immediately covered the cavity. I tried to stick to the shaman as much as possible and dragged Sein, but a terrible scream came from the mouth of the Sein who held on.

“Quaaaaa!!!! Everything, my legs are swollen!!!”

Surprised, I let go of the hand holding Sein’s nape, lowered my posture, and approached Sein. When he waved his hand to disperse the dust and looked at the people, he was speechless.

His legs were crushed by rocks, and his legs were twisted, and his boots pressed against iron plates pressed down on his shin. I immediately took out my dagger and split the leather on the back of my boots to expose my feet.

Deciding to put a splint on the terrible shape of my feet, which were completely twisted, I remembered Hobgoblin’s club, crouched down in the dust, ran to get it, cut off the handle, and attached it to my ankle. As a finishing touch, he tore off the burnt cloak and attached it to his feet, so it was worth looking at. But Sain, whose leg was twisted, screamed every time I touched his leg, so I had no choice but to stuff the remaining cloth into his mouth.

“Huhh!!! Hehe, turn it off!! Ugh!!!”

Sain struggled, shaking his head, but I ignored it, finished the first aid, and sat him against the wall. It was because after the dust had settled, he noticed that the communal situation was unusual.

The passage we passed was blocked by rocks collapsing in the aftermath of the fireball. There were gaps here and there, but it was difficult to dig with the equipment we had, and it was unknown whether the ground, which had already exploded several times, was safe. Swallowing a sigh that grew to the tip of my throat, I decided to clean up the corpse strewn with corpses.

Hobgoblins, mercenaries, and the goblin Shamyeon’s corpse decide to temporarily block the passage beyond. I had to take care of Sein, and I was also quite tired, so it was difficult when the goblins came. Looking closely, there were no patterns on the face or body, so it seemed that there were no more shamans.

I tightly gripped her hilt and timed my approach as I approached, and the three goblins, who were watching me, screamed in unison and lunged at me. I breathed to my limit and drew my sword as fast as I could.

-Seokkeok

Three goblins with their upper and lower bodies split in the air fell hurriedly. I took a deep breath, piled up the corpses one by one, blocked the aisle, closed the passage, and finished cleaning up. The moans behind me seemed to have calmed down, and I pulled a cloth out of my mouth and apologized to me. Did.

“I’m sorry bro…”

[Sain… You don’t have to apologize! You’re a colleague!]

Undine’s way of speaking was so absurd that I couldn’t stand the irritation that surged up involuntarily and spit out the words I had stored.

“No, I have to apologize. It happened like this.”

[What?! Bad human! Sein is seriously injured!]

Seeing me arguing with Undine, Sein stopped Undine and asked me.

“…Stop it, it’s Undine… Yeah, but can you see Undine too?”

It was too late to pretend not to see now, so I nodded.

“I saw it from the beginning, I thought it was your contract spirit.”

[Then! Sein and I will sign a contract soon! Right~?]

“Uh, yes, it’s Undy…”

After learning that I had known about Undine’s existence from the beginning, Sein began to look at me warily. Seeing his wary demeanor, I thought that the naive guy might have lust inside that I didn’t even notice.

If he had known from the beginning, he would have noticed that the conversation was overheard, so it was clear that he was wary. However, in the current situation, there was nothing Se-in could do, and whether it was because I grabbed her by the scruff of her neck or because she couldn’t control herself, the only ones I could lean on now were Undine and I.

No, if I couldn’t make a contract with Undine, I was the only one who could physically lean on it. Maybe Sein will cling to me more and try to look good in order to live.

To lighten the mood, I asked how the two met. Undine, who looked at me with a sullen face, explained quietly at first, then quickly told me about God or something, as if she liked to talk.

[Sein and I met at the pond in Sein’s village!]

[There was something cool about Sein sweating while swinging a wooden sword~ So he jumped out of the pond and joked around, but Sein wow! Then he fell into the pond and got mad at me!]

“It’s Undine…!”

It was a world that was embarrassed to talk about the old days, shaking hands to stop it, but Undine, who was excited, made a lot of noise.

[After that, the two of us talk, and Se-in says he will go out to the village and earn money! There’s nothing going on here~ I just started swearing, and since I said I was scared, Sein hasn’t cursed once since then!]

Undine, who had only been thought to be harsh, was smiling brightly like a child while talking about Sein. Seeing the child-like appearance of genuinely liking Sein, I organized the information about Sein in my head while listening to Undine’s story. As they kept cheering for more and adding compliments, Undine started to chatter while flying around.

“Stop it, Undine!!!”

As Sain gritted his teeth and screamed, the wandering Undine suddenly stopped moving, and tears welled up on his cute face. Apparently, it was a big shock to have yelled at him, and he lowered her head and distorted her face.

I understood Sein’s feelings. My legs would hurt, but they were excitedly chatting among themselves, and the naive Undines scattered free information to me, who was suspicious, so it was obvious that they were impatient. Still, it didn’t come out that way. As expected, if I turn around, the only side is Undine.

I quietly put my hand on Undine’s shoulder, who was downcast. Cold energy passed through the gauntlet and into her palms. I added a few words to Undine, who was taken aback by the sudden touch.

“It will be very difficult because Sae-in is seriously injured. Don’t get too hurt and find a way to heal your three legs, can’t you? If you heal quickly, Sae-in will come running to you, thanking you.”

At the whispered words that Sein could barely hear, Undine immediately cheered up and nodded her head, clinging to Sein and apologizing.

[I’m sorry, Sae-in… It hurts, but I didn’t know about that and just talked about it out of excitement. Don’t worry though! If you make a contract with me, you can quickly fix your leg with the healing water!]

Healing water… I’ve heard that sometimes among the water spirits there are spirits that create potions that can heal people, but Undine seems to be that kind of being. Sein, as if he didn’t know that, opened his eyes wide and grabbed Undine’s hand.

“Really?! Then make a contract soon!!!”

[Hey, wait!]

Surprised by the strong grip, Undine gently pulled out her hand and inspected the goblin corpses piled up by the aisle, then came back with a teary face and said to Sein.

[The magic stones we have now are not enough. Even if you try to heal the leg with a healing water made only of magic stones without a contract, it won’t be very effective.]

“Then there is no other way! Huh? Undine, what should I do…!”

[Three…]

Sein, who became impatient, gave strength to his neck and shouted loudly. Undine shrank a little, as if seeing Sain like that was unfamiliar. The more impatient you are, the more you treat Undine, the more distant you will become, but the kid was a kid.

“Is the magic stone I have not enough?”

He took out the magic stones he had collected the other day from his pocket. 4 large crabs and 7 small crabs, put your fingers together, closed your eyes, and felt the magic. Undine shook his head and replied.

[Not enough yet. I wonder if there should be twice as many.]

“Or… There are other ways.”

[Really?! How?!]

“I, really? How?”

Leaving behind the urging Sein, I grabbed Undine’s finger and guided it, letting her feel my mana. It was a small amount of mana that I couldn’t even put on a sword yet, but it was several times more effective than magic stones.

[This might be possible if I collect a little more magic stones? But maybe…?]

I nodded and said.

“Can’t we sign a contract with me to heal Sein and get out?”

“No!!!”

[…!]

Sein, who cried out and blocked it, and Undine, who was surprised to see it, stepped back a bit. Soon after, Undine, who noticed Sain, expressed his intention to refuse.

[I want to sign a contract with Sein… That’s my only wish…]

“It’s Undine…”

“Then is there any other way? For now, that’s for the best.”

[You can find another exit…! How can I collect magic stones and make a contract with Sein…!]

“How do you get magic stones? My legs are like that.”

[That thing… That…]

Undine fidgeting with his fingers and looking at me, looking at me and asking me to get a magic stone.

“Even if we go further into the den, there is no guarantee that there will be many goblins, and the best thing is to sign a contract with me. You don’t want Sein to die either.”

[Ugh… Heung!]

I made my inflated cheeks slimmer, and then sprayed a thin stream of water and shot it at my face. I laughed at my child-like appearance, wiped my face with a cloth, and approached Sein and summarized the situation.

“I think the best thing for now is to make this a base and explore. You rest here, and I will continue to investigate Undines and the inside of the burrow.”

“You’re taking Undine…?”

Sae-in answered with anxious eyes. I wanted to say something, but I could see he was hesitant, but I nodded and answered.

“You, Undine, also found this colony. It’s good to take care of you, but it’s best to have Undine find another way out. Do you agree?”

“…Yes.”

“Yes, I am enough for goblins by myself, but if there are other goblin shamans, I might be able to survive by giving Undine magic stones like before.”

“That’s right.”

“Okay, don’t be too sorry and let go of your expression.”

As he lightly grabbed Sein’s shoulders and patted her, her complexion darkened even more. It was clear in her head that she was thinking about what to do if I took Undine away. Undine believes in himself, but this guy did not believe in Undine.

“First of all, go to sleep today, wake up and see the progress of your injuries, let’s go investigate, doesn’t your leg still hurt a lot?”

“Yeah… Actually, I think I’m going crazy.”

“Wait a minute.”

I rummaged through the strewn bags near the mercenary’s corpse. It fell along with the equipment when it caught fire and struggled, but I searched all over to see if there was anything useful.

There was a small pouch, and when I opened it, I found a bundle of medicinal herbs. It was clear that it was not an antidote, and I was at a loss as I did not know whether it was used for hemostasis or treatment, or as a pain reliever. However, the floating Undine saw the herb in my hand and approached me with delight.

[Wow! This is a grass that makes you feel less sick! Great. Three!]

“Oh, does this have that effect?”

[Yep! Even Sein knows! They were blooming near the pond, so lucky!]

Just feed them! Leaving behind Undine’s words, I handed the canteen and herbs to Sein. Undine’s words must have been true. Sein’s eyes opened a little wide and he spoke in a delighted voice.

“If I eat this, it will be less, thank you.”

“Yes, there are several more of the same, so let’s eat one every day. I’m glad.”

“Iknow, right. Still, it would have been better if there was a potion…”

“Potion is a basic requirement, but there was none. Don’t you, Sein?”

“Yes, potions are too expensive…”

“Yeah, it’s okay. Wait a little bit, let’s light a fire first.”

The Hobgoblin’s club was useful. The size was also large enough to make bonfires with enough firewood to burn five more times. After making a bonfire, I laid Sein around and covered him with the cloth I brought with me just in case.

“Thank you…”

“Yeah, it hurts, but go to sleep. I’ll be vigilant, so please do a little bit of work starting tomorrow.”

“Ah, no, bro, I’ll stand, I’m sorry. I forgot.”

“No, go to sleep. It is not vigilant for patients.”

“That…Or even the Undine…”

[Me?! I’m not tired! Shall I look around now?]

Even though she had a run with the goblin shaman earlier, Undine didn’t seem tired at all. Sein explained to me that since it was a wild spirit, there was no need to enter the spirit realm, and that its existence itself could be maintained even with the mana contained in the air.

To be honest, I was tired from working hard since daytime. I thought I would fall asleep soon if I closed my eyes, but I said I would wake up to look good to Undine. Seeing how lively it was, it seemed like it would be good at alerting and reconnaissance even if it was left alone.

“Then, I will sleep with Undine and I for a while. Don’t worry about Sein and go to sleep.”

“Ah… The two of you… N, yes. All right.”

[Don’t worry! I don’t even sleep~ I’m not tired either! Sae-in is sick, so sleep well. I feel very tired. Annoyed too…]

“Undine, I’m sorry for bothering you… You must be frustrated too…”

[No, Sein is a patient! Hurry up and find the goblins and make a contract with me, and you’ll get well soon!]

Undine, who caressed her arm as if showing off her biceps, smiled brightly. Catching goblins didn’t guarantee that magic stones would come out unconditionally, and she didn’t know how many goblins might be in this den. She left the sunny Undine behind and looked at the burning bonfire.

I’m sorry Sain, but seeing Undine made her want to sign a contract. How happy would it be if I could make such a bright spirit my own? She had never eaten a spirit’s pussy. The lustful thoughts continued to multiply, biting their tail after tail. It would be great if I could get it while trapped in a goblin colony…
