Newbie Life of a Former Ranker chapter 107

Do-jin fed the detoxifying potion to Xenia.

“Ugh… … !”

Presumably with a high fever and thirst, Xenia took the liquid and drank it without asking what kind of liquid came into her mouth.

However, the complexion did not improve or the condition did not improve.

It was because the level and grade of the detoxification potion and Xenia’s own level and stats were all insufficient to overcome the poison.

‘In the current situation, suppressing the poison is the limit.’

Xenia’s face turned white and her lips turned black.

Still, the focus returned to the confused eyes, probably thanks to the detoxification potion temporarily suppressing the poison’s action.

“… Is it poison?”

Dojin nodded.

“It is poison. It is also very troublesome.”

“… … .”

Fear grew thicker in Xenia’s eyes.

Not the fear of the Mentis Predator, but the fear of death right around the corner.

Xenia’s body trembled, probably not just because of her addiction.

Do-jin laid out all the detoxifying potions he had in front of her.

“Even if we can’t completely detoxify it, we will be able to suppress the poison’s progress to some extent.”

I don’t know how long that time will be.

It can last for more than a few hours, and it can die in less than an hour.

I’ll have to try until I can do it though.

“Grab your teeth and hold on. If you’re lucky, the rescue team might come first.”

Looking at the nine bottles of detoxifying potion, Xenia thought.

‘Now I have to endure here alone.’

but. Those who can escape must run away.

Escape from the forest where that thing roams, even injured?

It is foolish to expect such sublimity from those who do not even know the honor of nobility.

‘… … .’

In an instant, I thought of two ghastly corpses being eaten by three mantises.

The hairs all over her body stand up in fear.

It was then.

Do-jin got up and said this to Bill Licht.

“I’ll be out for a while, so keep an eye on it. The Mentis Predator only needs to be careful of vibrations, but there might be others, so hide as much as possible.”

After hearing that, Xenia looked at Dojin with puzzled eyes.

“Are you not running away? You want to come back here?”

“It just came out of the rift. It’s a situation where you can’t run away even if you try to run away.”

crack. With that single word, Xenia accurately understood the situation she was in.

However, Dojin’s behavior did not make sense.

‘crack? Then it’s best to hide here and quietly wait for rescue.’

But why do you want to go outside? That terrifying monster is roaming around.

“You better not go out. One followed me, but I saw three. There may be more. no, there will be more So-“

“We have to save the other kids too.”

“… … !”

Xenia felt like she had been hit in the back of the head with a hammer.

It was a hammer called shame.

Even after witnessing the deaths of two people, he was just buried in fear.

Even now, I only thought about my own survival and death, but I couldn’t think of anything else.

‘It’s ugly.’

The princess of the duke, who had lived as a careless person, looked back at herself for the first time in her life.

Either that or not, Dojin did what he had to do.

“Compression of the bleeding area… you do it You’re addicted to it, so you won’t be able to properly block it.”

“Me, me?”

“then? Do you want to watch me die from excessive blood loss?”

“Oh no!”

Frightened by the radical expression, Bill moved to stop Xenia’s bleeding.

Xenia looked at Bill and said.

“annoying… … .”

“… sorry.”

“Not you!”

I mean Even a half-penny like you is better than me.

Xenia wanted to hide in a mouse hole.

‘It’s an academy love comedy, what is it?’

they are playing cute

Do-jin, who laughed at the two of them, came out of the cave.

darkness greets him

“Let’s go, Anemone.”

It was time to get nervous again.

* * *

“Run away Mer!”

pug.

A scythe was stabbed in the back of the fallen boy.

Seeing that, the girl seemed to be losing her mind.

The hand holding the sword trembled.

‘I have to save it… … !’

Scary to think, Mer’s friend Moak’s throat was torn.

dead.

A friend I’ve played with since childhood.

At that moment, Mer let go of her reason.

“Aww!”

Did she go mad with fear beyond her threshold, or did the anger of her childhood friend’s death paralyze her fear?

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Mer recklessly charged the mantis-like monster and—

“aagh!”

He cursed and drew his sword horizontally.

Kakak-!

However, her attack failed to fatally wound the Mantis Predator.

Even though it was an attack that went in at the moment when he was distracted by the prey he had killed and was about to eat it, the sword stopped because he was caught in his thick and hard arm.

– Shiiik!

The price was great.

puck.

With a dull and harsh roar.

Took.

her biceps fell off.

At least his life was spared thanks to the instinctive evasive action that he learned from sword training since he was young, but that was it.

“Ah!”

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Mer, who lost her balance and collapsed, could not come to her senses.

How am I? are you going to die

– Shhh.

The answer to that question was the sound of leaking wind.

puck. Kujik.

“aagh-!”

The Mantis Predator’s sickle-shaped forepaw pierced the thigh.

However, it did not end there.

One of its four forepaws, one of its pincer-shaped arms, digs into the wound and tries to open it with ferocious force.

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Mer couldn’t even scream.

Pain as if lightning struck dozens of times in the head.

I wish I would have taken my leg off sooner.

I hope it gets ripped off quickly and it’s not my leg.

It hurt terribly enough to think that way.

‘… mom and dad… … .’

I don’t want to die.

That moment.

A pure white flash occurred.

Phi-

The light spot that was concentrated precisely at the junction of the two antennae of the Mantis Predator exploded.

-Shhhhh!

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Mentis Predator complains of pain from the sudden attack.

The antennae, which can detect vibrations even from a distance of 50 meters, are concentrated with extremely sensitive nerves.

Being attacked in such a place, it was natural for him to go mad.

A Mantis Predator that emits light while waving its antennae in all directions.

A large silver object flew at him.

It was an anemone.

【die!】

After killing the presence, approaching as close as possible, the anemone, which ran at great speed in line with Dojin’s attack, accurately struck the Mantis Predator’s head with its front paw.

-Shhhhh!

What Dojin shot was a “flashlight”.

An attack with almost no physical impact.

However, Anemone’s paw punch was different.

It was an exercise of pure physical force, and it approached as a more intense stimulus to the Mantis Predator, which sensed ‘vibration’.

Driven mad by the overstimulation and pain, the blind mantis waved its four arms at random.

【Avoid anything that looks painful!】

However, Anemone, who had quick movements, evaded his attack without difficulty.

Even if it’s a fast and strong attack, it’s useless if it doesn’t reach.

“You can’t give me any slack!”

Do-jin’s cry that approached at some point.

【don’t worry!】

The anemone answered confidently, dodging the Mantis Predator’s attack and swinging its front paws.

Her feet pierced the degenerated head of the Mantis Predator with a full blow.

【Ugh.】

However, it was not easy with the Mentis Predator.

He jumped in the direction of the attack even though his only sense, his antennae, which he could not see, hear or smell, was paralyzed.

“squall”

But Anemone was not alone.

Do-jin created a powerful gust of wind to interrupt the airborne mantis’ attack.

《Fireball》

Then put a hot fire in the same place.

‘There’s nothing good about wasting time. If there are other guys around, it becomes a lot of trouble.’

Do-jin prepared a powerful magic for speedy resolution.

《Pillar of Fire》

The fire pillar, which limited its range and increased its output, swallowed the Mantis Predator.

“Don’t let it come out!”

【yes!】

The anemone skillfully strikes the head, no, the antenna connection, and puts the guy trying to get out again.

Disoriented, he floundered in the pillar of fire before collapsing to the ground.

‘How many rounds of magic do you eat for a normal monster?’

Thoughts while feeling the cold sweat running down my back.

If you think about it calmly, it was more absurd to be able to hunt monsters over 120 even though you haven’t reached level 100.

‘It’s not the time to think about useless things.’

What would it look like if the person you saved died in a cold sweat?

Dojin hurriedly checked the condition of the fallen person.

‘… Is this one already dead?’

Dojin, who spilled a small curse, looked at the woman who was breathing faintly.

‘I’m hurt too much. If you leave it like this, you will die.’

In a situation where nothing was going back easily, Do-jin bit his lip.
