Chapter 45 Life-Saving Rescue Effort
I'm coming to the tomb-like dungeon that appeared in Abyss Wood.
Using medicine, I was able to heal people who had turned into zombies, saving them from their long suffering.
"I'll keep healing them like this! Spirits... please lend me your power!"
Around me, countless green lights are dancing in the air.
At first glance, they look like fireflies, but they are actually green spirits.
These spirits, residing in plants, enhance the effects of medicinal herbs.
I consulted with Eileen-san and asked for her help in rescuing the zombies (former villagers and adventurers).
She agreed enthusiastically, and a rescue team was formed with the villagers.
First, I will make a [Teleportation potion.] When used, this potion can teleport a person to a specified location.
"An amazing potion with teleportation magic... This is incredible!"
"Huh? But if you don't use the potion, you can't teleport, so it's not really that amazing, right?"
"Wait a minute! Teleportation magic can only be used by Sage-class magician! Even with the assistance of potions, it's amazing!!!"
"No no, Merlin's Granny, who can use teleportation magic without an incantation, is even more amazing."
"That's because that person is one of the Eight Sages of the Divine Realm (Planetes)! They are the highest class of magicians, so AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
First, using a teleportation potion, we send rescuers to Ain Village, which is close to the forest.
There, Eileen-san will explain the situation.
There are quite a number of zombies there, so if we leave it as it is, Ain Village will be in trouble.
So, the youth rescue team from the village was ordered to evacuate to a nearby village.
That's the plan.
As me and Mercury-san are walking...
"Grooooooan!"
"[Prescription: Paralyze!]"
I first paralyzed the zombie with Paralyze, then quickly administered the Revival Elixir.
"Huh, where am I...?"
"[Prescription: Teleportation Potion]!"
"Hold on!?"
With a swoosh...!
Teleportation activated, and the human restored from the zombie was teleported outside.
"My Lord, wouldn't it be better to provide a bit more explanation?"
"Well, I think explaining would be a waste of time. If we end up dawdling, let's just skip the explanation and leave it to Eileen-san."
"So, you want to divide the tasks. I see, understood."
Now, I swiftly restored the zombies to their human forms and rescued them.
Tai-chan seemed to be just tagging along, but in reality, she was quite helpful.
"Sorry, Tai-chan. I'll get some."
Pluck.
"Ah, it's okay."
Pluck.
...What I'm collecting is Tai-chan's fur, the Behemoth.
O take a pinch of hair from Tai-chan's dog tail and use it to create a teleportation potion.
"This teleportation potion is made with Behemoth's body hair as an ingredient. So... sorry."
"Don't worry about it. This is for the sake of saving lives."
"Oh, there's a hair potion. I'll use it."
Rustle.
Poof!
"T-Tai-chan's tail hair, it's like cotton candy!!!"
"S-Sorry Tai-chan!"
"Haha, don't worry, my Lord has done silly things before."
"That's true!"
"'Are you really agreeing with that?!'"
I splash the spirit potion on the zombies attacking one after another.
The revived former villagers.
"I-I'm back alive!!" Splash! "It's, it's a miracle!" Splash! "Thank you for helping me!" Splash.
Tai-chan looks at me with a trembling expression as I heal and teleport.
"It's amazing that you can create so much resurrection potion without any risk. If it were to circulate in the market, it would be a big deal."
"Oh, but it's difficult to mass-produce outside of this forest, Tai-chan."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"The plant called 'Yam of Life' used in the spirit medicine can only be found in Abyss Wood and cannot be compounded outside of it."
The Yam of Life only grows in Abyss Wood, and it rots the moment it's taken out, so it can only be used here.
You could put it in a magic bag and stop time to transport it, but the quality tends to degrade.
"I see, so this bargain sale for the spirit medicine is limited to this forest only... It would have disrupted the laws of this world otherwise."
"Someday, I want to develop a medicine for complete revival without the Yam of Life!"
"Stop, seriously."
With all that going on, I continued turning the zombies inside the tomb back into humans one by one.
"Hmm? My lord. It seems like the enemy is getting closer."
Tai-chan said while twitching her ears.
Since my nose is currently paralyzed, Tai-chan's ears are very useful for scouting.
"Is it just me who's not useful at all...?"
"Mercury-san, that skeleton is also a monster, right?"
"Y-yes! I have Appraisal Eyes, you know! [Appraisal]!"
Approaching us was a walking skeleton.
I think it's probably a monster.
"Oh, it's an Elder Skeleton. It's one of the undead creatures that has been resurrected with strong resentment after death."
I see, it's undead.
"KAROROROROOROROROOOOOOOOOO!"
The skeleton reached out its right hand.
A dark magic circle appeared.
"No, Leaf-kun, don't! That's instant death magic! It's a dark spell!"
A magic circle appeared beneath my feet, glowing brightly.
A scary grim reaper appeared and tore my body with its scythe...
"LE-LEAF-KUNNNNNNNNNN!"
"What's happening!"
"Are you ALIVEEEEEEE?!"
Even after being hit by the grim reaper's scythe, I remained calm.
"Why?! It's instant death magic! A curse!"
"I have Poison Immunity!"
"But curses and poison aren't related, right?!"
No, says Tai-chan.
"In a way, curses corrode the body like poison. Maybe I'm immune even to curses."
"Are you some kind of monster for having even instant death resistance...?"
"Elder Skeleton-san isn't a monster!"
"It's you! It's all about YOUUUUU!"
The skeleton-san was sent back to the ground with a resurrection potion.
Alright! Next!
