I returned to Do Yu-geon.

“What are you doing?”

The guy was tapping his feet carefully on the surface of the swamp.

“Couldn’t it be possible to float above the swamp?”

You’re doing something stupid.

“You learn physics when you go to high school, so think again then.”

“I still know Newton’s laws.”

“Do you know someone like that?”

“There is magic, so wouldn’t it be possible?”

“no.”

He denied it outright.

“If you react like that, you’ll end up in trouble.”

“It’s realistic. Just comply. Rather, the lizardmen are coming, so let’s run away.”

Do Yu-geon frowned.

“Because of the screaming earlier? What were you doing?”

“The connection between the ecology of lizardmen and healing magic.”

Do Yu-geon thought deeply and hesitated before speaking.

“I know what your intention is, but I don’t want you to do any biological experiments.”

I don’t know how to react when you say something like this while you’re just hunting to level up. I don’t even know why I’m avoiding eye contact. I took a moment to decide what to say in reply, then quit.

“Ok, fine.”

Do Yu-geon turned his shoulders and relaxed.

“It will be easier to catch them if they come all at once.”

“No. They’re coming from all directions, so let’s run away first.”

“why?”

“Because if you get hit by a poisoned arrow, you could die.”

I’m asking the obvious.

“Isn’t there healing magic?”

“There is, but I have to say that I’m not sure it’s a clear answer. If anything happens, I could die.”

I stabbed a Lizardman with a poison arrow and tried to detoxify it with healing magic, but this does not prove that detoxification is possible with healing magic.

What if the Lizardmen had the ability to decipher themselves? Abilities don’t necessarily have to be magical. It may simply be a case of biological detoxification ability, or the poison itself may not be too severe for Lizardmen. If you eat an allergic food, you may have difficulty breathing or experience paralysis, but that does not mean you will die. With that feeling.

It is also possible that a Lizardman suffering from a poisonous wound was safely detoxified thanks to the recovery magic cast by us, which activated the body’s detoxification process.

If we were to take a fantasy approach, we could imagine a case like this. What if the coincidence of the moment of detoxification and healing magic was simply a coincidence, and the detoxification was due to the magic item that the Lizardmen possessed? I didn’t feel the effect of magic, but since there are entities like souls that don’t seem to be magical, there may be a magic effect that I couldn’t sense.

Even if I’m not sure, there’s a lot of possibility. In the first place, there is a way to prepare for your own weapons. He was loading a crossbow with a poisoned arrow or a bolt and would have prepared it because he didn’t want to die if he got stabbed by mistake. maybe. Well, humanity has used nuclear weapons without any preparation, but Lizardmen are civilized people who can even shoot crossbows. This assumption would be wrong if we, the brave ones, live without carrying an antidote because of our cultural differences with humanity.

In the end, the point is the lack of data from observations and experiments, and the conclusion is to run away. Since the entrance to the crack is right here, I can leave right away. Leaving the mobs here doesn’t really cause any problems.

“Aha! Then I guess I won’t get hit.”

The guy said refreshingly.

Have you no idea?

I was angry for a moment, but I didn’t say it out loud. But Do Yu-geon seemed to have noticed it and began to explain further.

“When I was at a low level, the goblins set up camp and shot arrows, but I never got hit. Now, my level has risen and my physical abilities are better. Then, I won’t get hit.”

Surprisingly, it hasn’t worked out so far. No. This person was once hit by an arrow. He doesn’t know, but it’s not a big deal.

“I’m still at a low level.”

“Ah, level 50 is right around the corner, but this isn’t low level. From what I can see, the maximum mana level will be 100.”

There were numerous residual wounds, and I thought for a moment about whether to say that the poison was enough to cause only residual wounds, but I didn’t bother to say it. Intuitively, I felt like I could detoxify it with healing magic, and healthy skepticism is a way to compromise with reality within an appropriate range. You can’t experiment on humans.

Besides, I didn’t feel like asking about it because I thought he probably didn’t know that the residual wounds were dangerous. People who can’t read the mood aren’t popular.

He handed over the marpiña worn by Do Yu-geon without saying a word. It’s really painful because my childhood friend has a lot of talent for being upset. When I become an adult, I will prepare for reality and the flowery path, but adolescence is too long. I always wish time would pass slowly, but sometimes I wish it would go by all at once.

“Are you surrounded now?”

“Strictly speaking, we are surrounding the place where the Lizardmen’s screams came from as the starting point. It is a place far away from here. And although it was described as a siege, considering the chaotic approach speed, it does not seem to be an intentional siege. Perhaps the screams were “It would be closer to the fact that the surrounding lizardmen just came rushing in because it rang.”

Do Yu-geon thought for a moment.

“After breaking through the siege, let’s cut through the outskirts and hunt. Where is the nearest direction?”

“there.”

As I pointed in the direction, an arrow came flying from that direction. Do Yu-geon caught the arrow with one hand. The arrow trembled in my grasp for a moment. Hold this with your hand?

“Next time, strike it with your sword.”

Do Yu-gun glanced around with a flushed expression.

“Wow! Wasn’t that just cool?!”

He did it himself and he got excited.

“No, not at all. What are you doing that’s dangerous?”

When I told him my impressions, I was at a loss.

“…I caught it instinctively.”

Because I understand, you don’t have to make excuses.

“okay.”

The guy hesitated to say something, then sighed and ran in the direction the arrow had come from. It flew up after him.

“The swamp is generally shallow, but there are some deep areas, so be careful.”

“Are you okay with flying?”

“Yes, of course. Jump across the street in front of there.”

Honestly, I think it would have been okay even if I couldn’t fly. Would this place fall into a natural trap like this?

Although his feet were submerged in the swamp, Do Yu-geon approached the Lizardman at high speed. The arrow that flew again bounced off the sword strike. As soon as they arrived, the Lizardman took out a curved dagger from his waist and slashed with all his might. Do Yu-geon ducked down, skillfully avoided it, and pierced his neck at the same speed he was running. Experience points were scattered in the momentary sword attack.

The corners of Do Yu-geon’s mouth rose as if he was satisfied. At the same time, the corners of his mouth were trembling. I guess I’m trying not to show my satisfaction. Just laugh.

“Which direction is the nearest mob?”

He took out a handkerchief and wiped his face. Mud splashed. The crack environment is very bad. I spun around and looked at Do Yu-geon, and saw that his pants were a mess and the bottom hem of his top was dirty. I’m going to throw away all my clothes.

“Let’s turn left. That will be easier.”

He circled to the left and broke the siege. They moved quickly, and after a while, the noise of the battle attracted lizardmen, so it didn’t take long to kill them all.

Along the way, Do Yu-geon showed off a feat of striking down arrows coming from all directions. Like Do Yoo-geon said, this is what I did even when I was at a low level.

But that was it, and it was just as dangerous, so I was restless, and eventually at some point, this side took the lead. As I lightly pushed away all of the magical power of the atmosphere, the jungle turned over and the swamp rose.

As expected, the attribute magic looks flashy, but in reality, it seems to be stronger when only magic power is poured in ignorantly.

“It’s a scam….”

Do Yu-geon was frustrated and lowered his sword.

“It doesn’t matter because we’re on the same side, right?”

“It’s a problem because we’re on the same side.”

“There’s a lot to wish for.”

I wonder where this perfect chaebol genius beautiful girl childhood friend is. Mmmmm. Oh, of course he has a bit of a bad personality, but that’s the extent of his humanity.

“But you’re saying it’s okay if it’s on the other side?”

When I questioned him while tilting his body in the air, he crossed his arms and pondered.

“If it’s on the other side, it’s a boss mob.”

“It’s an honor.”

“And boss mobs are always defeated.”

“That’s not an honor. If I’m your enemy, what’s the point of trying if you have to start with despair?”

This side also has its own pride. For example, something like fried chicken.

… … It’s not a joke worth telling somewhere.

A roar was heard from beyond the jungle overturned by magic. In the distance, I saw a Lizardman with a slightly small physique. It’s not a joke, a real boss mob has appeared.

Unlike the existing Lizardmen, they were dressed in fluttering ceremonial clothing and had no weapons. There is no dagger at his side. I can feel the flow of magical power around me, so I’m probably a wizard. You’re not using poison magic, are you? In that case, I won’t just stay still.

The Lizardman screamed again. It looks like he’s going to do something, but he doesn’t and just screams and glares.

ah.

“It looks like you can’t attack at long range.”

“Then we have to go catch him.”

Do Yu-geon steps on a fallen tree that is half submerged in the swamp. I flew next to him and whispered.

“I think I’ll either use poison magic to fit the concept or punch like an orc shaman. What do you think? Sounds plausible, right?”

“Use your imagination as usual.”

“Hmm… Poison fog? Poison clouds would also be good. If it’s a gas or a wide range of liquids, no matter how much I do, I can’t block them all with just passive defense.”

You can simply blow it up entirely. Just as when it rains, you can remove the clouds, and when there is fog, you can create wind.

Do Yu-geon sighed.

“In that case, I’ll have to run away like you said.”

“Right? Besides, since it’s fantasy, there’s a lot of potential.”

The criteria for judgment are strange, but that’s the way it is.

“But wouldn’t it be possible to create a sword wind with a sword strike and send it flying?”

“Why don’t you practice walking on water instead?”

“Is that so?”

He stopped and ran into the swamp. Of course, my feet sank and got locked. Do Yu-geon jumped in place. This time my feet got locked again. Whose responsibility is the shame?

“I said I couldn’t do it.”

When I scolded him, the screams rang out again. The noise was loud, but the location was still the same. I guess I really can’t attack at long range.

I fell a little away from Do Yu-geon, who was lapping at the surface of the water. Sorry, but the water is dirty.

After looking at it for a while, it suddenly occurred to me and I carefully lowered my feet onto the water. When I think about it, it would be almost impossible for Do Yu-geon, who is scratching the lottery by relying on unknown things, whether it be his mastery of the sword or his mysterious supernatural power, to walk on water, but this seems possible.

In the end, isn’t it enough for the surface tension of the water to withstand the weight? Then, just like floating a wooden plank on the water, spread out your magic power and float it on the water.

When I put my foot down slightly on the magic board, I felt a reasonable amount of resistance. It feels more stable than I thought. Since it is a swamp, the tension seems to be greater than expected.

Out of anticipation, I loosened my grip and gave it a little more weight. Are you really okay? It’s a little wobbly, but that’s because of Do Yoo-geon splashing around over there. I stopped flying carefully, concentrating on the magic power beneath my feet.

Does it work?

I felt proud, but my center of gravity was twisted. The magic board flipped over.

Gyaak.

I quickly supported my body with magic. Whoa… … , I didn’t miss it. As I felt relieved, a large swamp splattered over me and soaked my body.

It quickly rose into the air. Ugh. I instinctively shook off my clothes, but then stopped and used magic to remove the moisture. I can feel dirt on my clothes. For some reason, the grains are chewy in my mouth.

not good… … .

“Let’s just get the boss.”

Do Yu-geon smiled and said patronizingly. What are you laughing at? After glaring at him for a while, he drained all the water and went to the side.

“Stop it?”

“I plan to practice this separately.”

Do Yu-geon jumped up the tree and moved towards the Lizardman. Practicing separately? It doesn’t mean going to a swimming pool or the beach to practice.

You’re not going to put water in the bathtub and splash around, right?

I thought about it for a while and then quit.

Ugh, yeah.

It’s cute.
