Chapter 43 – Assassination Family Raven (1)

I don’t know what happened to ‘Cyan Raven’, but I was certain he was dying.

She’s never been possessed and died. What happens when you die?

Since my soul is in it, won’t there be a big problem? It occurred to me that Yu Xian might die.

It’s not very good.

However, the tutorial quest required a 10% assimilation rate and the reward upon completion was a skill called Shadow Mastery.

Perhaps, if you had to recover from the quest’s reward to survive, you would have been given stamina recovery as a reward upon completion.

But now that my body is dying, but my head is spinning, is it because I have calmness?

No. Is it because it’s time to die, and I need to see the magic light, but I don’t remember it?

Whatever the reason, I think it is very painful to objectively recognize death.

“Yui, someone is down here!”

A young man’s voice was heard.

“Huh… Hah… Roman! If you run alone, how can I chase after you!”

This time it was a woman’s voice, probably a woman named Yui.

“He’s still breathing? How can your recovery magic not do that?”

“It is possible to boost vitality, but perfect treatment will be difficult.”

I felt the possibility of recovery.

“Ha… Huh…”

I wanted to express my gratitude to the two people passing by who were lifesavers, but my voice could not come out properly because my throat was paralyzed.

“Ugh. I’m out of breath! Just try something! You’re dying anyway!”

A man named Roman shouted.

I think it’s true that I’m dying, but there are people here who make people feel bad with facts.

“How can you be alive if you say that like that? Ah, ah… Merciful Goddess, please allow me to use my body to embody the grace of Goddess. Healing.”

He told a long story that included the story of a goddess and used a recovery skill on me.

I felt my body slowly recovering, but as I said before, it only seemed to invigorate me.

Still, I felt that the vitality that had been draining away was starting to fill up again.

“Ah… Ah. Thank you.”

I was able to express my gratitude while lying down on the floor, as if the paralysis in my neck had lifted.

“Phew. Since you can’t seem to move, I’ll take you to a nearby village. Where were you going by any chance?”

Roman, a young man, sighed and spoke to me.

Since my assimilation rate was low, and I couldn’t read the memories of ‘Cyan Raven’, it was difficult for me to think about this world or the destination I needed to go to.

Is Raven a saint?

“Raven… Family…”

As I struggled to explain the only knowledge I had about this world, a young woman named Yui answered in a slightly surprised voice.

“Who are you going to kill?”

Huh? Are you going to kill me?

“Could it be because you want to take revenge on the person who made your body like this? You’re probably saying that because you’re out of your mind. The Raven family. This is the place you go when you want to risk your life and kill someone…”

Roman, a brown-haired man, carefully spoke about the Raven family.

Assassination family Raven.

Once we found out that information, the assimilation rate increased slightly.

So I’m saying that Cian Raven is from a family of assassins?

How do you know that I am highly compatible with assassins?

*

He was carried on his back by Roman, who was wearing leather armor.

It was a man with brown hair, and he seemed to be strong despite his small stature.

A world where people walk around in leather armor and use healing magic.

The world of Lee Sian, where I first became possessed, was exactly the same as the world I lived in, except that it was a world without status windows and abilities, but here I feel like I’ve fallen into a completely different world.

What is the goddess that Yui borrowed her power from? Is she a being who looks over this world like the Lord of Worlds and Plague?

Carrying the back of a man smaller than himself, he passed through the gate guarded by a man who appeared to be a guard and entered the village.

Buildings similar to those in Europe filled the village.

It’s similar to medieval Europe, but fortunately the roads weren’t dirty, but it seemed like a world where magic existed, so they seemed to be actively utilizing it.

“Yui, which direction is the temple?”

“You went with me. It’s on the right.”

The temple that Roman carried on his back had impressive white pillars.

Looking at the many small statues of goddesses placed here, it seems like this is a place where upper-class beings called gods were known from the beginning.

“Director Shinjeon, are you there? There is a patient.”

Yui shouted, and she called the person called the temple head. When the door opened, a woman with pink hair came out of the temple.

“Yui? I thought you came right back today, but you brought a patient? Roman, please come inside.”

“Yes, Master Shinjeon.”

Roman laid me down on a white bed in the temple.

As she was silently watching what I was doing, the woman called the shrine placed one hand on my stomach and one hand on her chest.

“Wooooo… It’s a terrible poison. It’s not life-threatening, but my stamina is reduced, my body is paralyzed, my mana load is messed up, and it looks like I didn’t just ingest one or two pieces of poison.”

So, I don’t know why this body has a fitness level of 95%.

“Can you treat me, Lord Shinjeon?”

“Yes. Complete detoxification will have to be done through an antidote, but if we borrow the power of the goddess, it will be possible to alleviate the overall poison.”

When Yui carefully asked the head of her temple, the head of the temple gave me and Yui the answer I wanted to hear.

Is it a poison that is difficult to cure even with the power of the goddess?

I don’t know if the temple leader’s abilities are lacking or if the poison is too strong.

“Then shall we go find the pharmacist?”

Roman stood up and spoke as if he was going to run out at any moment.

“The antidote for personal use costs quite a lot of money. First, let him recover on his own, and if this person has a lot of money, it would be better to request it personally.”

“Ah. Money… Yes…”

As soon as the amount was mentioned, she lowered her head.

The pink-haired priest extended her hands to me and said something similar to what Yui said earlier.

“Merciful Goddess, please allow me to use my body to embody her Goddess’ grace. Expert Cure.”

At that moment, it occurred to Yui that the poison in her body was neutralized and that she felt much better than when she used healing.

When she received healing, she regained enough stamina to speak a word, and she felt much better now that the poison that had originally caused her was gone.

“Haa… Thank you, Lord Shinjeon. Mr. Roman and Mr. Yui.”

Lying on the bed, I expressed my gratitude to the three people who saved me.

“It is natural for us, who have received the grace of the goddess, to save people. So may I ask your name?”

“Xian…”

I had heard some ugly stories about the Raven family being an assassination family or something like that, so I decided to hide it for now.

And if the quest isn’t related to that place, wouldn’t there be a need to go there?

As the assimilation rate increased, I realized that my feelings toward Raven were not so good.

“Mr. Xian, then please take a break. I will bring you something to eat. Roman, Yui. Are you two going to go out again?”

“Yes. I picked up cyan seeds before picking herbs.”

Roman said brightly, perhaps because I was now free from a life-threatening situation.

“Yes. If you are late or unable to do so, give my name. Saving lives is more important, so I will be your witness.”

“Yes, Lord Shinjeon! Let’s go, Yui.”

“I’m not going to run this time. I’ll be back!”

Even Yui with pink hair followed Roman out.

The temple leader said he would bring me something to eat, so I think I should lie still and look into Cyan Raven’s memories a little more until he returns.

One thing that comes to mind right now is that I took the various poisons that the temple leader just mentioned.

*

I sat on the bed and ate the soup brought by the priest.

Personally, I prefer oatmeal with at least a little something to chew on, but this was also effective in warming the body.

“Mr. Xian? Do you remember what you got caught up in?”

“I don’t remember exactly. What I remember is that I fell while trying to go to the Raven family and Roman and Yui saved me.”

As I trailed off while mentioning the Raven family, the temple leader smiled bitterly.

“It looks like there was someone he wanted to kill. That person probably poisoned Mr. Sian.”

‘I ate it…’ .’

I couldn’t bear to say that to the person who treated me.

But I guess he really comes from a poorly evaluated family?

“Is it far from here?”

“You can go nearby by taking the warp gate, but it’s difficult if you don’t have a pass. Do you have one?”

After eating all the soup, I put the empty bowl on the bed and searched through my pockets and arms.

Then I caught a hard business card in my hand and took it out immediately.

“Cian Crow. This is a pass to the Raven family.”

When I saw the name Cyan Crow, my assimilation rate increased and my memories came back a little more.

So I could understand why the woman named Cian Crow pursed her lips and glared at me.

The head of the shrine said, clenching her fists and trembling.

“Whew… Just one thing… Please promise me. Next time… Please save the person you have to kill first.”

“If that person is related to the goddess, I will definitely do that.”

“Then please leave.”

The head of the shrine left her place and she realized that it would be difficult for me to stay here as well.

I came out of the temple with somewhat restored strength and an increased assimilation rate.

『Tutorial Quest』

〈Achieve an assimilation rate of 10%.〉

The status window that was damaged and sealed due to poison has returned to some extent.

After reading Cian Raven’s memories, I was disappointed that I could only produce this much power, but I knew that there would be no problem living in this world with the power I had now.

However, the quests that appeared one after another led me to the damn family.

I guess I’ll have to find out a little more about the Cyan Raven by the next morning when the warp gate opens.
