To Hell with Being a Saint, I'm a Doctor

Chapter 492

episode 492 miracle serum (2)

“hmm. no matter how i look at it, i don’t feel that way...”

if the blood of the ugly centipede monster had the same effect as holy water, the priests would lose face.

ray approached the corpse of the centipede monster and looked around.

i could touch, see and smell the blood.

i didn’t feel anything special about it.

there was no sign of mana, perhaps because he had already absorbed the mana he had killed by killing the centipede.

“it’s strange.”

weird.

it’s strange, but since the person who caused the poisoning improved by drinking the blood, it seemed worth investigating.

it would be nice if there was even a centrifuge.

ray, who had gone crazy thinking that far, suddenly felt like he could try it with a magic circle if he did well.

there was no magic to spin objects, but what if a new magic circle was created?

he was the one who tried to fix the magic tool that the goddess made.

it would take a little time, but the magic circle that increased the rotation speed was a piece of cake for him now.

there was one problem.

“i need mana to try the nesting magic circle...”

at most, he only had enough mana to hold the aura blade for about twenty minutes.

of course, that level was already far beyond that of a criminal, but the mana used to develop a magic circle was far less than enough.

the reason he was able to quickly develop magic circles in the past was not only because of his brilliant brain, but also because of his endless mana.

if even one of those two things is missing, the development of an overlapping magic circle would be unthinkable.

after thinking about it for a while, ray started pouring the centipede’s blood into a leather bag covered with waterproof magic.

preservation magic was cast, and in case you didn’t know, even strengthening magic was cast.

“i will have no choice but to do research later.”

it’s enough to fill the lack of mana.

it’s not too late to go down to the 16th floor, kill monsters, and refill your mana.

of course, he had to call up subok, who seemed to know something before that, and listen to the situation.

* * *

ttuk-ttuduk-

the sound of something being ripped off echoed throughout the dungeon hallway.

the holy knights of the holy kingdom swallowed their saliva.

the shining armor from before had gone, and now it was just a piece of leather.

they give each other hand gestures and instruct them to do something.

after looking at the monster for a while, they nodded and rushed at the same time.

“haaaaaaaa!”

with a spirited spirit, a sword aura formed on the swords of the paladins.

it was embarrassingly meager to call it an aura, but fortunately it was effective against monsters.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

while eating, the monster that was attacked stopped breathing without even showing any resistance.

after cutting off the monster’s head and killing it for confirmation, the paladins stole the sweat from their foreheads.

“i’m glad there was no damage.”

“if it had been in the past, we would have suffered the opposite. that means we have grown too.”

at his words, the paladins nodded.

this was just a month ago.

even then, they couldn’t even go down the second floor.

the priest salivated.

if it is below this, how much lower is it?

even if they were just themselves, they were barely able to raise their sword aura.

in the case of priests and priests who cannot go hunting, they still cannot properly use the divine power.

that is why the paladins were in charge of all hunting.

in the meantime, downstairs?

“unless you’ve found almost all of the existing mana...”

“yes. as expected, i think i have recovered to the level where i can fully express my sword aura.”

“haha.”

if so, these monsters would not be able to compete with the paladins.

no, if the sacred power of the priests and priests had been restored to some extent, it wouldn’t be strange to be on several floors below.

“...it seems they have already outpaced us by a long way.”

they, who are inclined to safety, still stay here, but if they are the ones who are heading underground without caring for their safety.

maybe we can reach the lowest level of this dungeon and find out something.

i thought briefly, but then i shook my head.

the dungeon wouldn’t be as easy as that.

the lower you go, the stronger the monsters will become.

every time that happens, they will die one by one.

the number will gradually decrease, and soon they will all die.

in a way, they could have reached the lowest floor first by completing all preparations safely and advancing one floor at a time.

the priest forced a smile.

“whether it’s us or them, all we need is to know how to end this demonic world. we just have to go slowly on our own.”

“i think so too.”

“the meaning of recovering holy power every time you kill a monster is unknown, but the fact that the holy power is still remaining doesn’t mean that goddess gaia is still taking care of us? i am sorry for not being able to pray lately.”

the priest questioned the priest as he continued to dismantle the monsters with a slightly complicated expression.

“...is the goddess still taking care of us?”

as if he had heard him wrong, the priest stopped working for a while.

“what did you just say?”

“i keep thinking about these days.... maybe the goddess didn’t use a sword rather than an ordeal to strike us down. it’s hard to see this situation as a silky ordeal. thousands of believers have died and people outside are also suffering. until we were trapped in the devil’s realm, there were endless wars in various places, and now, when mana was gone, it was full of people who rebelled. i wonder if this is indeed an ordeal from gaia...”

the priest, who had been listening to the priest’s story in a daze, had a serious expression on his face.

if the foundation of the kingdom is the royal family, the foundation of the kingdom is faith.

without faith, the holy kingdom no longer exists.

the faith of a priest with strong religious beliefs was already shaking after a month or so, so others could tell without even looking at it.

the priest put his hand on the priest’s shoulder.

“don’t doubt the goddess. it is all thanks to the grace of goddess gaia that you and my hometown remain strong until now.”

the priest’s expression was still unresolved.

however, he nodded his head with a slightly better face than before.

“yes. sorry for the strange words.”

“how can there be a difference in such a gloomy place? we are just helping each other.”

he said that, but the priest’s expression was still not good.

‘there is no meaning even if a believer who has lost faith returns to the holy land.’

faith does not exist because there is a holy kingdom.

the holy kingdom exists because the people have faith.

those who lost their faith were coming out after only one month of being trapped in the demonic realm, so it was dark before my eyes what would happen after another month.

after dismantling the monster, the priest took a look around with worried eyes.
