I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 281



281 – Apex Predator #3

281 – Apex Predator #3

D&A is basically a turn-based game.

This means that if I hit one first, then it’s the other person’s turn to hit me.

There are other variables such as evasion rate and defense rate, but most people say that you have to be prepared for your HP to be reduced when the battle begins.

In this reality, Ludens, not only will your HP be reduced, but you will also get injured.

In some cases, you may really die.

“Who in party 2 was injured?”

I couldn’t help but be quite nervous after hearing the results of the 2nd party’s battle.

As I expected a difficult expedition, I also expected that someone would get hurt, but when that happened, I became nervous in many ways.

“Mmm… The connection with my sisters has been lost…”

It probably means that the connection is lost and you can’t contact the second party.

It cannot be done.

I have no choice but to join.

We walked back about a hundred meters and joined the rear where the second party was.

“Sssss but…”

A place with several very small craters.

There, I saw someone lying down and making noises.

“Was it Luke who was injured?”

The main character, Luke.

He must have discovered our first party and forced a smile instead of a frown.

“Not a big deal. Ugh, ah.”

Luke groaned.

It was because Yumi took off the guy’s half-melted armor.

Her arms and legs were badly burned, and the injuries looked very painful.

Clap. Clutter.

“Just stay still.”

“Ugh.”

Yumi began treating Luke with her skillful hands.

After cutting off the leather armor that was sticking to her skin with a dagger, he exposed her affected area, put herbs that were good for the burns, and poured “Advanced Vitality Potion,” Of which there were only a few for each party, on top of her.

Seuuu-.

Then, she looks quite tickled as new skin begins to grow and heal.

“Hehe, thanks to you, I survived.”

Luke immediately lifted the corners of his mouth and smiled.

Seeing how everyone moves naturally, it seems like there have been many times like this.

“How did you get hurt? “If I had just followed the plan in advance, I wouldn’t have been seriously injured, right?”

I asked people around me about this situation.

Then Hilde, who was wiping the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, sighed and said.

“During the battle with the lava snake, Yumi was targeted. That transfer student tried to stop it and got hurt. “It was because of the acid breath.”

She carries her acid breath with her body.

It’s brave not to die.

Should I call him brave or reckless?

However, because of that aspect, I guess I can take on the role of ‘main character’ in the world.

“Yumi, are you hurt anywhere?”

Luke, who had just recovered from his injury, looked at the condition of his childhood friend Yumi.

Seeing that, Yumi scolded him by saying, “Hey, who are you worrying about now?” But Luke just smiled, showing his white teeth like a country boy.

“It’s okay as long as there are no injuries. “You really hate being sick.”

In that way, the situation seemed to have roughly come to an end.

I was fortunate that the injury wasn’t serious enough to require a retirement, but I had to feel a little nervous as I had already consumed a few advanced potions.

It is not a comfortable place either.

Zech.

At that time, Hilde tapped my side

“What is it?”

When I asked, he quietly nodded and called me to a far away place.

Quarreung-.

A place where a very small crater is spewing out lava.

Hilde spoke there.

“I couldn’t say anything earlier because there were people around. “Our second party is a bit strange.”

“Strange?”

“The male students around me are strangely focused only on Yumi. “The party structure is abnormal.”

“It’s natural for the front line to protect the back line.”

“It doesn’t feel that way. “I don’t know how best to explain this, but if things continue like this, the number of injuries like the one just now will increase.”

“I see.”

Hilde is not the type of person who complains on purpose.

The reason she says this is because she saw and felt something.

“If you notice anything more strange or feel dangerous, please contact us through Ariol. It seems like the nymphs have a connection with each other.”

* * *

Volcano Vulcan located in the eastern field.

It was a place divided into three stages: the entrance, the middle slope, and the summit.

At the beginning, animal-type monsters such as “Lava Viper”.

In the middle of the hill, mainly spirit-type monsters such as “Lava spirit” Appeared.

━Intruder!!!

A lava spirit whose body was made of lava found us and shouted loudly.

A magic circle that appears in the guy’s hand.

━You can’t go into the place where the owner is!!!

Wooow.

Soon, a flame-shaped mark appeared on veteran Victorica’s head.

Pot-.

The symbol above the head her explodes in small bursts, emitting intense heat.

“Ugh, a mark has appeared on me!”

What has now appeared over Veteran Victorica’s head is a penalty called ‘Curse of Lava’.

A person with the mark receives fire-related damage every turn and falls into ‘silence’, unable to use skills or magic.

Damage per tick is about 10HP.

You may not think it is that big, but if the curse continues, the damage per turn increases from 10 to 20, and from 20 to 30.

If it accumulates, it can cause significant damage, so you need to prepare in many ways.

For example, it goes like this.

“I will take it.”

I gently grabbed the large Victorica by the shoulder

Then, the flame-shaped mark burning on the head of the large Victorica moved to my head.

Hwareuk.

I felt intense heat.

But it is bearable.

“Knock it down in this gap.”

“《Gwangtan》!”

The large Victorica fired a bullet of light with the tip of her staff.

Paba Babat – The spirit’s body is greatly shaken by the attack that flies and pierces its torso.

━Geuugh!

Spirit-type monsters attack players with difficult skills, but don’t do much other than that. I guess having high stamina is a little annoying.

━Ugh, a trivial trick on the subject of mortals… !

Hwareuk.

At that time, the curse mark above my head flickered once again.

If it explodes a second time, I will take about 20 HP of damage.

They say it will be incredibly painful.

“Victor!”

From there, Nike waved his hand her her her her.

“Victor! Pass the curse to me! My roots can’t do much damage to the flame spirits anyway! “I’ll be in charge!”

It was a great choice.

I held Nike’s hand and passed the curse.

Paaat-!

A curse explodes above Nike’s head.

“Ugh, it’s hot… ! But, it’s bearable… !”

At this point, anyone will easily know how to attack this lava spirit.

“Indeed… ! This strange spirit’s strategy was to spread the curse like a bomb and share the damage… !”

Yes, it feels exactly like that.

The spirit’s stamina is relatively high, so if you keep repeating the curse, the stamina of the party members will soon become tattered.

So, it is best to attack as quickly as possible.

━You brats, can you endure this?

“Ahh… ! A mark has also appeared on Arnoy’s head… !”

Two curse marks appear at the same time.

As expected, the difficulty level has increased.

However, this is an assumption that can be controlled.

We are a party of 8.

There are many people who will accept the curse.

“Representative Arnoy, I will accept it.”

When Akasha received a curse from Arnoi.

Arnoy took out his canteen and gulped down the water.

And then he shouts.

“Nymph Biggie, 《Hydro Pump》!”

Pooo-.

Arnoy squirted water out of his mouth.

It flies like a powerful hydraulic water cannon and hits the flame spirit’s body.

Sigh-!

━Geekyyyyy!!! Me, I, to mortals and such… !!!

The lava spirit was unable to come to its senses after being hit by an attack with the opposite effect.

The girl’s fluid body seemed to harden as it was hit by the cold water, but then it turned hard like a rock.

“I’ll finish it!”

Melvin strikes the spirit’s body hard with his shield

Hood deuk-.

It was a spirit that shattered old, hardened clay crafts as if they had been hit by a hammer.

With that, the mark hovering over our heads also disappeared.

“Is everyone okay?”

I first checked the status of the party members.

Everyone seemed quite exhausted as they had to deal with the damage from the curse. Still, it was fortunate that there were no major injuries, perhaps because the damage was shared.

“With injuries of this magnitude, there is no need for advanced potions. We only use potions to heal serious wounds, and aim for natural recovery for the rest.”

Share the damage as much as possible and save on consumables.

That will be the core of this expedition.

It was then.

Arnoy trembled.

“Is that really true…? ?”

Is that really true?

What is that noise all of a sudden?

Soon Arnoy spoke.

“Party 2 is requesting an ‘Intermediate Vitality Potion’… !”

“Really?”

There was still room for a mid-level vitality potion.

However, I couldn’t help but feel doubtful about the second party requesting supplies from us.

You already used up all the potions?

So, when I asked Arnoy about this fact, Arnoy said.

“Party 2’s potion… It’s almost like it’s falling apart… !”

The speed at which consumables are consumed is much faster than I expected.

Was the battle hard?

* * *

The middle of a volcano.

Entrance to a huge cave.

Our 1st and 2nd parties joined at the cave entrance.

As soon as we met, I handed them about 10 intermediate level potions that I had prepared in advance and asked them.

“I heard you consumed most of the potion?”

Then Skadi nodded, spitting on the floor.

“That’s it. “I feel like shit.”

Skadi seemed to be dissatisfied with something.

Did you often encounter enemies?

As I was wondering about this, Skadi frowned and added.

“You are unnecessarily increasing damage. Would it be a big problem if I shared some of that curse and took it with me? Those idiots. “Why are you going through so much trouble?”

“What are you talking about?”

“I’m talking about the lava spirit’s curse. It was decided at the meeting that each person would receive the damage once. But, when the situation actually happened, it was different.”

Skadi glanced around.

Then he said with a very dissatisfied face.

“That girl, Yumi, has never been affected by a curse. I don’t know why they’re so wrapped up in it. So, as the damage increases, the more the damage increases, the more quickly the potion disappears.”

“…”

I’ve never taken damage from a curse.

It was quite an unbelievable story even for me to hear.

It is effective if each person carries the curse separately.

As I was wondering, Skadi added something.

“The men, it’s as if they’re anxious because they didn’t intentionally take the damage. I don’t know why you’re doing that. Even Jin does that? That machine-like guy.”

Even Jin?

Jin, that guy is really a cold-hearted machine like a Skadi horse.

Is he intentionally trying to compensate for Yumi’s damage?

“…”

What came to my mind there was the affinity system.

If you are in a party with a character with a high affinity, variables such as ‘being welcomed instead’ often arise.

It feels like the main character, Luke, successfully blocks an attack aimed at women by throwing his body away.

For Yumi, perhaps it has become the opposite concept of’men block attacks coming at her’.

I thought so, but it made some sense.

The problem is that if the ineffective battle continues like this, all the potions you have may be used up before you can even fight the dragon.

If you are a D&A player, this is a fact that even beginners would know.

It seems that Yumi was not a ‘possessor’ like me.

From noble mtl dot come

“…”

Anyway.

Since we were just before entering the “Temple of Vulcan,” Where the dragon was nesting, I thought it would be a good idea to do something.

“Everyone gather together and watch. “We will reorganize the party.”
