Chapter 113 Targeting You
I, Leaf, was rushing towards the capital city where a riot seemed to be happening.
'This is bad. We're not getting anywhere near the capital city, my lord!'
I'm riding on Tai-chan, a Behemoth with jet-like legs.
However, the labyrinth passageway we're in has turned into faceless monsters. Because of that, its constantly changing shapes were causing us significant time of loss.
"If it's come to this, we'll have to force our way through! Tai-chan, stop!"
I hang a necklace pot from my chest...
"Load!"
Then, I fill the contents of the magic bag.
This necklace, called the Tenmoku Medicine Pot, greatly speeds up the process of making medicine.
"[Prescription]!"
The medicine is completed in the pot.
I take out the Divine Healer Staff and administer it.
Now, as I point the tip of the staff upwards...
BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOOMMM!
'What's happening, a chain reaction explosion is occurring! My lord, what is this all about?'
"It's explosives! Just regular ones!"
'No, regular explosives can't break through the indestructible walls of the labyrinth!'
"Yes, they can!"
They can, because they can!
By combining with oxygen and exploding in a chain reaction, they can even be directional.
As they crush the tough walls and floors of the labyrinth, a straight path to the surface is created.
"Let's go, Tai-chan!"
'Ah, geez! My lord is truly exceptional!'
"What do you mean by that?"
'It means you're still as monstrous as ever!'
Well, monsters are a common sight in my village.
Tai-chan's jet shoots up vertically at an incredible speed.
To top it off, I also gave Tai-chan the gunpowder I made earlier.
As a result, we soar at speeds tens of times faster than usual...
Whooooossshh!!
"We've arrived on the surface!"
Tai-chan and I arrive above the capital city.
'If it weren't for me being a Behemoth, my body would have been torn apart, you know!?'
"Thank you! You're tough!"
'Just because it's dangerous, doesn't mean you should use it normally, okay!?'
Now, I look around from Tai-chan's back.
As Guild Master Henrietta-san mentioned, there was a riot on the surface.
People are fighting here and there.
"I smell blood... but there are no casualties. That's good."
'Do you know it?'
"Yeah. When someone dies, their cells gradually decay, so I can tell by the smell of decay."
'I see... However, even if there are no casualties, it seems quite challenging to bring this chaos to an end.'
Everywhere I look, people are fighting.
I could smell the scent of hatred from everyone.
Perhaps some faceless monster is causing trouble to those around hrtr.
"In the capital city, there are two types of people: those disguised or faceless beings and regular humans."
'The reason fights don't escalate to killings is probably because the Divine Gemstone's reputation is working hard to prevent it.'
I've pretty much grasped the current situation. All that's left is to resolve this incident.
Good, it's not as bad as I thought.
'My lord, what would you do? Administer a special medicine to the faceless beings on a large scale?'
'No, we'd run out of ingredients for that.'
Creating a special medicine for the faceless beings takes quite a bit of time and requires many special ingredients.
There isn't enough to administer to all the citizens of the capital city.
'So, what will you do?'
"Even if I can't make enough special medicine for everyone, I can use other medicines! [Prescription: Sleep (Revised)]!"
I transformed it into a green particle like spirit (a spirit that exists in the natural world, found in plants and such) and cast Sleep throughout the capital city.
'What happens when you administer a sleeping potion? It won't work on those faceless being, right?'
"Yeah... but maybe it's better if it doesn't work."
The people of the capital city collapsed on the spot, snoring peacefully.
However, among them, there were also people who remained awake!
'I see! That Sleep is meant for humans. It won't work on those faceless. In other words, those who are awake are faceless monsters! Well done, my lord! Impressive!'
By discerning each individual through my nose, it's more efficient to distinguish their effects this way.
"The enemies are clear now... Alright! It's time for treatment (punishment)!"
