72 – In a hazy mind

I left it to the companions to send the god back, and I, the saint, and Tina rented a village hall and created a temporary health center.

A fairly large incident occurred, and sick people flocked to the public health center like fresh water, and the saint and I each treated the sick.

“Now, you can wake up.”

“Thank you, priest…”

After treating a patient with third-degree burns using absolute healing, I smiled brightly and waved goodbye as he left the room.

Absolute healing, no cost, no cool time is a very good ability, but it is an ability that I was reluctant to use because I felt the pain of my whole body being torn apart every time I used it.

But why am I smiling like this now?

‘I’m glad the next passive enhancement is immunity to burn pain… ‘

This is thanks to the fact that I opened a store after a long time and strengthened my passive skills.

There was a fire and there were many patients who suffered burns, and when I saw that the next passive enhancement was immunity to burn pain, I strengthened the passive and used Absolute Treatment.

People who suffered suffocation or other trauma, not burns, were left to the saints to minimize their pain.

And what I realized while using the store this time was that the more you purchase items at the store, the more expensive they become.

At first, the stat enhancement was definitely 5,000, but when I opened the store and checked, it increased to 10,000, and the passive enhancement also jumped to 2,000.

‘Are they raising the price because they can earn more? ?’

If we were the Goddess Zombie, it might be possible, but it must have been designed this way from the beginning.

Let’s understand that there is something called inflation…

“Master, can you bring someone else too?”

“Yes, please bring everyone you see.”

“I understand!”

Sili joined while creating a public health center. Because manpower is desperately needed, Sili is being used as a rescue team to bring in people trapped in the fire.

‘Sili must have heard about the dragons’ situation… Looks okay… ‘

When her group dispersed to eliminate the remains of the flames, Tama explained to Silly why the dragons were trapped in the barrier.

She was a child who longed for freedom, and although she heard about Tama’s somewhat frustrating fate, she didn’t seem to react much.

“Ugh… I don’t know. I should just mind my own business. Patient with burns!”

The community hall, which is larger than the cathedral’s monastery, is filled with patients. We need to quickly treat people and evacuate. There is no need to worry about practical matters right now.

While I was looking for a patient to use absolute treatment on and relieving my stiff body, I found an unexpected person.

“Mr. Dorothy…?”

Dorothy, a high-ranking priest of the Celestial Church, a girl with hair as green as green plants, was lying among the patients.

Dorothy’s condition did not look very good. There are bandages wrapped around his head, and the magic leaking out from between the bandages shows signs of overuse of magic.

“Ah…! Hello, Priest Ivan…?”

When Dorothy made eye contact with me, she smiled and said hello as if she was embarrassed.

“Why is Miss Dorothy here? Surely she didn’t go with the others to stop the hand?”

“Ah… The combined effort of everyone didn’t work, so I got angry and ran away blindly, and this is what happened!”

“?”

Did I hear wrong?

The attacks of the people there didn’t work?

No, no, the people there were doing whatever they were doing.

After… Okay, let’s stay calm for now.

“I see… I’ll treat Miss Dorothy first. I’ve experienced excessive use of mana recently, so I’m used to it…”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

After… My words came out in vain as I hadn’t calmed down yet.

Okay, calm… Let’s calm down… So calm down…

‘Do you think it’s going to set?!!”

Unexpected events take a toll on my spirit.

“What do you mean? The attacks of the people there didn’t work?!”

“Ahahahaha… That’s… The God of Fire is really strong!”

“How strong is he?”

“I released the power that everyone had gathered, but I couldn’t break through the flames surrounding my body! I turned slightly and went near it, and the magic tool I received from Tama melted, and the flames burned my body!”

They couldn’t even break through the flames….?

Why is the reason why he got hurt so absurd?

“… I’ll treat you first. I hope you won’t rush in blindly next time.”

“It’s a mistake, a mistake! Did you know that the flames would be that strong?”

They say they blocked everyone’s power, so of course they will be strong. What do you mean?

I ignored Dorothy’s nonsense excuses and lightly removed the bandage from the area around her wrist where the most magic leaked and caressed it.

“I offer this body and soul to my God, Mother Earth. Please raise the Lamb again.”

When I recite the spell, the pain comes happily.

Starting with the index finger of my right hand, my body slowly begins to burn. The flame gradually spreads. Starting with the index finger, moving up the arm, over the arm and up to the shoulder complex, the flames are gradually burning the entire body and reaching into the internal organs.

It burns, burns, burns, burns, burns, burns… !

My body and my soul are on fire… !

It is a pain very similar to a burn, but I have experienced it several times and know that this is the pain of overusing magical power. A burn feels like your skin is burning, but this feels like the veins inside are burning. Very painful. So much so that I would rather die!

“Wow…!”

I feel nauseous. Although I am only experiencing pain, my body, which has recently suffered from overuse of magical power, reacts as it pleases.

Damn, I didn’t think of this… !

In the end, I couldn’t stand due to the overwhelming pain.

“Gwae, are you okay, priest?!”

As I fell to the floor and struggled, Dorothy looked at me restlessly.

I gestured that I was okay with my left arm, which was the only one that could move.

“It’s okay, so please give me my bag over there…”

“Yes, yes!”

Dorothy hurriedly brings my bag.

I rummaged through the bag next to me and poured some painkillers made from ground narcotics and some white liquor that I had received as a gift from Tina.

As alcohol and narcotics begin to circulate in your body, you become dizzy.

Pain disappears and a comfortable world emerges… Okay… Flowing towards utopia…

A world completely disconnected from reality… In a very comfortable world… With platinum hair… I see a woman…

A woman in white turns around and looks at me and talks. I freeze when I meet those beautiful green eyes.

‘Have you finished what you have to do?”

I can’t hear her feminine voice, but the shape of her mouth makes it seem like she’s saying that.

What to do… ? Therefore… What was I supposed to do… ?

Her head is dizzy… Something clearly had to be done… I don’t remember…

The woman smiles when she sees me looking foolish and dumbfounded and says.

‘Is it still too far to create the right world?’

Okay… The right world… I want to create a future where everyone smiles in this world full of pain…

To move towards a better world… And for you…… !

To purify this disgusting, rotten world… !

I was prepared to embrace all my sorrow… !

Kwasik!

Before my consciousness went to the other side, I stamped the back of my hand with the awl I had already taken out.

“Ugh…!”

When a sharp awl pierces the back of my hand, my mind becomes clear.

“Are you okay, priest?!”

Dorothy rushes over and starts treating my hand. A warm energy surrounds my hand, filling the hole in my hand.

“Just wait… Just wait a little longer. There’s not much time left…”

“Uh… What are you talking about?”

“Oh, I’m just talking to myself. Please ignore me…”

I stood up, shaking the dust off my body. And then I hung the bag next to me on my arm.

“Miss Dorothy. Let’s prepare to evacuate with all the patients.”

“Huh? What is that…”

“When looking at the current situation calmly, it is right to give up on Hwasan and run away with everyone. Now, I know it is impossible since you have just recovered, but please help me.”

Even though the party who went to stop God poured all their might, they could not reach God.

Can we do anything more at that point? No, to put it bluntly, the chances of us sending God back when the peak of force has failed are slim.

The volcano must be given up. We need to evacuate everyone in the volcano to another place before we waste time and cannot escape.

“Master…”

As we were preparing to evacuate, Silly came to the entrance of the village hall and brought the injured people on a stretcher.

“You’re here, Silly. Leave the people there. I’ll treat you later.”

“Master… What do you mean, giving up the volcano…?”

“Ah, I guess I just heard the story… The others failed to send God back. So we have to evacuate quickly.”

“I don’t like it…”

“Huh?”

“I say no! I won’t abandon the volcano!”

Sili screamed with tears in her eyes.

For what reason? Still, do you have any affection for it as your hometown?

As we make wild guesses about what Silly said, Silly begins to kindly explain the reason.

“But… But… I promised Maya…”

Sili, or rather Yor, spoke slowly about what he had experienced on his way out of the village.
