Chapter 34 It was from that moment that people began approaching me one by one. “Um…. Ibi, could you give us a bottle too?” “I need three bottles. My wife and children are sick.” “Of course. There's plenty, so don't worry and take as much as you need.” At my words, people came rushing over. Huslear raised his voice from behind me and began organizing the situation. “All right, everyone! Get in line! In line! You all think you're the only ones in a hurry! If you don't line…-

Chapter 33 For a moment, the flow of air itself seemed to stop. Everyone stared at me in utter shock as I swallowed the antidote. It wasn't particularly surprising. Regardless of whether I had been suspected of being the culprit, everyone had already labeled me as someone incompetent. I had been prepared from the beginning for them to doubt whether the antidote would actually work. ‘There was also the mountain goat incident not long ago, so I was hoping they would trust me at least a little.…

Chapter 32 I took a deep breath. Even though I pretended that nothing had happened, the truth was that I had been genuinely terrified earlier. ‘I shouldn’t have let my emotions get the better of me. I even went so far as to think about dying….’ But thanks to Hedius, I had come to my senses, and now I owed him my life. I gently touched my lips. I could still vividly feel the heat of his lips. But that hadn’t been a lover’s kiss. It had simply been something I did to…

Chapter 31 “Isn’t it enough that I didn’t die? I’m a person with a much more tenacious vitality than you think, Hes.” Ibi shrugged and spoke in a playful tone. “I’m probably more tenacious than a cockroach.” She said it so casually, as though it were nothing serious, as though getting hurt herself didn’t matter at all. Beyond confusion, irritation began to well up inside him. “What exactly are you trying to accomplish?” “Hmm…. If you mean what I want to…

Chapter 30 Watching Hedius swim toward me, I was bewildered. Why? Was he trying to save me? Was he really coming to rescue me? “Why…?” I had always been the one saving others. No one had ever come to save me. If anything, people would have simply abandoned me and gone on their way. But that man was genuinely coming toward me. Unaccustomed to a situation like this, my body stiffened and my mind went completely blank. It was different from when I had fallen into the lake…

Chapter 29 For the time being, I purified the field and then searched the village, but eventually, I headed toward the Black Forest. I had set out because I couldn't find a place where Jufran Mushrooms grew naturally, but fortunately, the contaminated area of the vegetable garden wasn't too extensive, so I was able to purify it. “Ugh, it's cold!” The moment I stepped into the forest, a sudden downpour began. Raindrops falling between the leaves of the dense trees ran down the bridge of my…

Chapter 28 A Saint. Literally, it referred to a woman chosen by God. Some called her the daughter of God, while others said she was an angel sent down to this land to protect humanity. There was no single definition of what a Saint was, but the Saint they believed in was someone who devoted herself to the people and served God. I had read stories in the history books about how rain fell upon drought-stricken lands whenever the Saint set foot there, and how people on the verge of death were…

Chapter 27 The place where Tippy had been laid down was the patient recovery room that was being used as an infirmary. The fever that had risen in her body showed no sign of going down, and the dark purple spots that had appeared all over her skin were only spreading farther as time passed. I knew of a strange disease similar to this. It resembles Monta Disease, which is caused by the spread of contaminated mana. When a monster dies, its body bubbles and oxidizes before releasing gas and…

Chapter 26 “Huh? You’re saying Laura didn’t give you the gift?” She answered with a puzzled expression as she milked the mountain goat into a bucket. “The date for when my younger brother is going out of the forest is still quite a ways off. And I haven’t even had the chance to ask him yet. He’s always wandering all over the place, so I haven’t even been able to see his face, let alone speak to him.” Then Auntie Laura was eliminated from Candidate Number One…. “But those…

Chapter 25 A few days later. The village had been in an uproar for some time because of Emma’s incident. At first, there had been some who felt sorry for Emma after she was expelled from the village. But once it was revealed that the reason for her expulsion was her abuse of Leo, no one took Emma’s side. Instead, they worried about Leo, thinking about how much pain and sorrow he must have endured all that time. Of course, it was what I had expected. I had thought that once Hedius…
