I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 327



327 – Money and Items Are Also Skills # 4

327 – Money and items are also skills # 4

A person’s shadow was seen through the snowstorm.

Of course, there is no way there would be people in such a cold snowy field.

━Gwowoeo-.

Blushing skin on a rotted body.

Something appeared in front of me, walking awkwardly with strangely misaligned bones sticking out of its arms and legs.

“Is it a zombie?”

I calmly evaluated the object in front of me.

「Zombie」.

This guy gives the debuff of ‘infection’ to the opponent who attacks with a monster around level 30.

If you don’t decipher it quickly, your HP will be significantly reduced, so it was an annoying opponent.

“Cutting the light.”

Sak-.

Wow-.

I felt like my body was being torn apart.

Soon, a zombie with its upper and lower body cut in half starting from the waist seemed to be struggling on the white snow field, and then it turned into powder and flew around.

━Gwawooo.

━Gah!

“There are a lot of numbers.”

Field battles in the game D&A are random encounters.

It feels like you’re walking around the field and suddenly the screen changes and you’re entering a battle.

“We made a surprise attack!”

Or

There are also variables such as “We were ambushed!”

From noble mtl dot come

In the case of a surprise attack, the right to attack first is given, and in the case of a surprise attack, the monsters attack the main character’s party first.

I personally liked these random encounter type battles.

Sometimes I got annoyed.

Imagine that you are trying to go from area A to B, but you keep encountering monsters, so you end up in battle.

It is also a task to keep pressing the ‘run away’ button.

━Geuaaa!

━Grrrr!!!

That’s exactly what the situation is like now.

Zombies keep popping out of the white snow.

They weren’t difficult to deal with at my current level, but there were so many of them that it was annoying.

“Is this guy the last?”

Sak.

Sigh-!

I was able to catch my breath after splitting the last one’s body in half like firewood.

After taking a breath, the white breath turns into smoke and disperses.

“Are there any injuries?”

I asked Luke.

The zombies mostly focused their attacks on Luke.

“Huh, it’s okay. “There were no injuries or bites.”

Of course, Luke also cut down the zombies without any injuries.

I was just asking out of courtesy, me too.

I said.

“You will soon reach the beginning of the snowy mountain. Skeletons will appear from there. Unlike zombies, they are resistant to slashing properties, so be careful.”

In fact, from the beginning of the snowy mountain, not only skeletons but also all kinds of dead monsters such as “Reaper,” “Rotten Eye,” “Bundle of Flesh,” And “Corpse Wasp” Appeared.

Monsters so disgusting that even looking at the dots on the other side of the monitor, they look terrible and make you frown.

I was nervous and excited at the same time because I thought I would meet those guys.

“Let’s use this.”

At that time, Luke rummaged through his arms

What he took out of his pocket was something that looked like a whirlpool.

It looks like a mosquito repellent.

“Is that ‘half-mixed incense’ by any chance?”

I asked and Luke nodded his head.

“That’s right. It’s “Semi-mixed incense.” If you have this, you will be able to avoid battles with the dead to some extent and maintain your full strength.”

“It’s not an easy thing to see.”

I was quite impressed.

The “Anti-Spirit” That Luke took out was an item that allowed him to avoid battles that occurred randomly in the game. Although it is limited to the northern region, the effect is outstanding as it lasts for 1 hour.

The method of making it was difficult and the production was also complicated.

This is an item that can only be made if you reach the “Master Craftsman” Level.

“Did Yumi make it?”

“Okay. Yumi had a lot of these. If we burn this and smoke, the dead will also recognize us as the same dead. Then we will be able to pass without a fight.”

From Luke’s explanation, I learned why Yumi could use this snowy mountain as her hideout.

You were avoiding battle through this anti-spirit.

Zech.

Luke lit an object that looked like a mosquito coil.

There was a bitter smell.

At the same time, a scream-like sound was heard.

It was the howl of the resentment of the dead in the half-honored incense.

“It’s creepy.”

It seemed like Luke expressed his feelings honestly.

I also agreed to some extent.

* * *

“─That’s right. In fact, it is said that this place was a forest dense with flowers and trees. However, a wizard who was active in the last war of the gods became trapped in this mountain…”

“…”

“This means that it has become a cold hell with many dead people appearing. I think most of the dead and zombies here were warriors who fought in the old wars of the gods.”

I remember the main character, Luke, as cheerful and talkative.

Thanks to that, he was the type of person who was friendly and quickly became friends with many people.

A hot-blooded person whose blood boils easily. A sense of justice. Humorous. But be serious when doing it.

These properties were popular at the time.

In many ways, you could say he is the exact opposite of me.

Anyway.

Luke talked more non-stop than expected.

No matter how much of an anti-communist spirit is burning, it makes me wonder if zombies will come towards us if we keep talking like this.

━Gwawoaaa…

━Grrrr.

But the zombies didn’t pay any attention to us passing by them.

This means that the effect of burning incense is that great.

“I admit it honestly. Luke, thanks to your anti-spirit ability, you were able to arrive quickly. “I could have saved at least half a day.”

I looked up at the sheer mountain of ice.

The mountain of the dead, shining under the sad moonlight, seemed like a mountain of despair, fear, and death all gathered together.

Gooo-.

The sound of the strong wind is like the return song of vengeful spirits.

In fact, the curses and resentful groans of the dead are constantly flowing in on the wind.

“It is the beginning of the snowy mountain.”

I saw frozen corpses.

The expressions on their faces as they were trapped in the ice were all with their mouths open, as if they were shocked.

─Go back.

I feel like saying that.

Luke also looked up at the mountain.

“Victor, the only time you can give up is now. This is a mountain that has been transformed into a demon world by a magician who is crazy about Taboo Magic. “I don’t know what will happen when I climb the mountain.”

“If you are afraid, go back.”

I scolded Luke lightly.

And then I stepped on the thick snow.

Pleasant.

My feet go deep.

Snow piled up to your knees.

Even though I’m wearing only one layer of winter clothing, I feel wet from the tips of my toes.

Full, full.

As I was climbing the mountain, I heard something in my ears.

━Guard deukdeuk.

━Squeak.

When I turned my head, I saw a gloomy pile of bones moving around.

They were skeleton dead, each armed with a rusty sword and an icicle-tipped helmet.

Slurrr-.

The blue light shining in their eyes is quite eerie.

“They are the dead who couldn’t die. The warriors and warriors who attacked the wizard were cursed with the inability to rest even after death.”

Luke blew out white breath.

Now it looks like Luke has considerable knowledge about the North.

“You know this snowy mountain well.”

“Well, I’ve studied many things since I was young. Because he wanted to be a hero.”

“But you don’t seem to know much about traps.”

I grabbed Luke by the back of his neck.

The guy makes a strange noise and stops.

At Luke’s feet was a trap made of bones woven together like a bear trap.

“This is ‘Ripper’. Even with the effect of anti-soul incense, if you step on this guy, he will rush into battle. There are a lot of traps like this here, so be careful.”

“Is it. Thanks to you, I survived.”

It was Luke, smiling and awkwardly scratching the back of his head.

He’s a good guy too.

Chijijik.

But now I can’t just smile.

Because the one and only incense burnt out.

We must prepare for battle.

If possible, I would like to avoid encounters with “Named” People.

I was about to think that.

Clutter.

I could hear the sound of armor shaking.

When he turned his head, he saw a black cloak fluttering.

Dented full plate.

A huge sword in hand.

Rather than a sword, its size is more like a beam.

Crack.

Crackling.

The joints of the frozen and rusty armor were making strange sounds.

Skeleton warrior.

No, it would be more accurate to describe it as a skeletal knight.

It looks different in many ways from the group of skeletons we passed by just now.

Super Skeleton.

It is enough to call it that.

“Don’t you think that guy is coming straight towards us?”

Luke seemed quite embarrassed.

As the main character, he has good senses.

“As soon as the echo effect disappears, is it right before the naming?”

「Death Knight – Sir Lancelot」.

This guy was the name of this snowy mountain.

Level is around 60 to 70.

It is a powerful upper level monster.

“… A pillar-sized greatsword and a cape with an eagle engraved on it. Is it really Lancelot!? It’s a lie, right? Wasn’t Lancelot a graduate of Ludens!?”

Luke was embarrassed.

Sereung.

The skeleton knight opened his bony mouth.

━Kill━───!!!

It was a loud cry.

“Huh!? How can someone without vocal cords make such a loud sound? !?”

“…”

Luke’s story briefly made me emotional.

Because Luke spoke the same lines as in the game during the named encounter.

━In the name of the King!!!

Hung-.

The Skeleton Knight charged at us with a huge greatsword on his shoulder.

Then he swung his great sword like a mace and hit the floor.

━Strike of the Earth!!!

Kwaaang, paaat-!

As the earthquake shook the ground, ice and snow flew in all directions.

“It’s not good.”

Don’t make too much of a fuss.

If things continue like this, Onsan will notice the presence of an intruder.

Whoo, whoo!

The Death Knight attacked Luke while swinging a huge sword.

I don’t know why they’re so persistent in targeting Luke, but I can’t keep it like this.

“Luke, get it over with as quickly as possible! “Use the strongest skill you have!”

Luke and I are projecting our greatest firepower.

The Death Knight is a strong named monster, but he is not a boss, just a ‘named monster’.

There is nothing to struggle with.

If Luke and I each use two powerful skills, we’ll fall down.

“The strongest… !? Okay!”

What skill should I use?

I was starting to get a little excited at the thought of being able to find out his skill placement.

Luke rummaged through his pockets.

“Eat this!”

“Wait a minute, that’s—.”

There was no way for me to stop him.

“It is the sacred grenade of Antioch!”

Luke threw “Antioch’s Sacred Grenade” At the Skeleton Knight.

Clink.

Paaang-!

It sounded like a condensed water balloon bursting.

━Guhhh… !!!

The Death Knight disappeared without even leaving a trace in front of a powerful grenade with the Holy attribute.

Clang.

The only thing left in its place is the legendary item “Great Sword of Shackles.”

“It’s a grenade after all!”

“…”

Strong holy attribute for the dead.

Moreover, “Antioch’s Sacred Grenade” Is a crafting item that can be made at the master craftsman level.

It has to be effective.

“How many more grenades are there?”

“I don’t have any more.”

… It somehow seemed like that.

I felt like I could have used it more usefully later if I had saved it… What I want to say right now is this.

“I guess I’ll have to do some maintenance for a bit. If what I know is correct, there should be a cave nearby. Let’s check out the items we each have there.”

A cave where you can make a campfire.

There is one on the way from this entrance to the halfway point.

We went inside.

Whioooh – the swirling snowstorm is getting stronger.

Hwareuk.

I started a fire first.

I feel like my body is melting a little.

Grrrr-.

Luke laid out his belongings in front of the campfire.

There were many useful crafting items, from “Advanced Bonfire,” Which significantly increases cold resistance, to “Anti-Demon Amulet,” Which reduces damage from the dead for 5 turns when used.

“Has it been done this way so far?”

“What?”

“It means that they have been pushing it with the firepower of the manufactured items.”

“Not all, but mostly. Of course, I can’t do that anymore. These are all items made by Yumi. “This is all I have.”

“I see.”

I can see how Luke and Yumi have been hunting.

Soon Luke said as he put firewood into the bonfire.

“You wouldn’t say I’m a coward as a prosecutor, right? Do whatever it takes to win. That’s the creed I learned from my teacher.”

“He is a teacher.”

Grumbling.

Burning firewood.

It was a moment when the blowing snowstorm became more intense.

“Luke, you said it all started in Clarice Village.”

“That’s right.”

“Can you tell me what happened there?”
