My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 136

Episode 136. Nursing (Complete)

Huff, huff.

Rough breathing sounds echo through the quiet forest.

The owner of the breathing looked back while running through the rough forest.

“Kuooooo-!”

Monsters charging with unfocused eyes.

The distance between them was gradually closing.

The owner of the breathing finally gave up running and stopped, turning around.

“Lord Arcke.”

The monsters charge with their mouths wide open.

Sharp teeth approach to pierce through the old flesh.

But he didn’t yield and closed his eyes while clasping his hands together.

At that moment.

“…?”

Someone crashed down from the sky with a black flash.

The old man who opened his closed eyes quietly looked at the figure before him.

A figure with black hair and orange eyes, wrapped in violent black mist all over his body.

Having turned the monster into pulp in one blow, he turned to the old man and said.

“Are you injured anywhere?”

* * *

I stared intently at the old man.

‘…A priest?’

Since I’ve been non-religious from childhood, I don’t know the details.

But he’s wearing clothes I’ve often seen on TV religious programs.

‘Quite worn out though.’

There are no fancy patterns or anything like that.

The clothes the old man is wearing are just quite worn pure white priest robes.

Hearing my words, the old man nodded a beat late and said.

“I’m fine. Who might you be, brother?”

“Me? I’m called Han Mi-reo….”

I looked at the old man with lowered eyes.

Gray hair swept back that had turned ashen with age.

The yellow eyes looking at me were somehow blurry as if out of focus.

“…What brings you here.”

This person is not the Zero written about in the diary.

Clearly in the diary, Zero’s voice was described as ‘can’t tell if male or female.’

But this old man’s voice before me now was a heavy bass that echoed like a cave.

‘Above all, if it were Zero, he wouldn’t have been chased by monsters.’

Then that means he’s a third party….

Would a priest have reason to visit Mae Village where outsiders rarely set foot?

Sensing the somehow changed atmosphere, the old man waved his hand and said.

“I am called Daniel. As you can see, I’m just a humble priest.”

“Why would a priest come to such a remote village? There isn’t even a church there.”

“I was simply traveling on pilgrimage, heading to the nearest village to get even a single meal.”

Daniel said he got chased by monsters during that journey, looking apologetic.

“Thank you sincerely for saving me, brother.”

“Well… I didn’t save you expecting gratitude.”

Scratching the back of my head, I slowly looked Daniel over.

The priest robes, though old and worn, hadn’t lost their white color and had no blood on them.

It seems he wasn’t injured.

“You were trying to get a meal at Mae Village?”

“Yes. I haven’t had a proper meal in several days.”

“Sorry to tell you this. Mae Village was destroyed.”

“…What do you mean?”

Daniel looked at me with wide eyes in surprise.

I turned my gaze from him to look at the dead monster.

“It was attacked by monsters.”

“That can’t be….”

Speaking of monsters.

I narrowed my eyes and looked at the dead monster.

This should definitely be a forest.

“Why is there a Sergelgul here.”

Sergelgul’s habitat is swamps.

It’s not a creature that lives in forests like this.

Moreover, next to the Sergelgul was a crocodile-like monster.

Of course, the boar-like creature next to it could live in a forest, but the other creatures were all not suited for forest life.

“I have something to ask.”

“What is it?”

“These monsters. Where did you encounter them?”

Anyone can see this forest isn’t their habitat.

At my question, Daniel stroked his chin for a moment then slowly opened his mouth.

“My eyesight isn’t good. So it’s difficult for me to see distant things clearly.”

So that’s why his eyes couldn’t focus well.

I nodded slightly.

“When I entered this forest, I felt the ground vibrating from far away. Out of curiosity, I headed in that direction and ended up encountering these monsters.”

“…The ground was vibrating?”

“Yes. The ground was rumbling as if an army was advancing.”

My expression hardened as I looked in the direction Daniel had come from.

When I first entered this forest, I couldn’t sense any animals or monsters.

It was such a peaceful forest, yet the ground rumbles like an army advancing.

“There’s only one reason for that.”

I smirked as I looked at the densely packed forest.

To achieve a proper objective this time.

Zero is advancing toward this place once again.

‘A failure….’

I don’t know what circumstances lead this person called Zero to seek Uno.

But at least I don’t feel like just letting it slide.

Pulling up the corner of my mouth in a bitter smile, I turned to Daniel.

“So what will you do?”

“What do you mean, what will I do?”

“I’m asking what you’ll do when there are monsters swarming ahead and behind is a village with only one survivor.”

“…Have all the others passed away?”

“Regrettably.”

Daniel briefly lowered his eyes then placed his hand on his chest and said.

“As a servant of Lord Arcke, guiding the souls of the dead is my role. Could you please guide me to the village?”

Daniel bowed his head and asked me.

Turning my gaze from him, I looked up steadily at the trees above.

There were Elpinire, Kargon, and Jini who had come with me.

‘It seems fine.’

Elpinire was drawing a circle with her finger, indicating that Daniel didn’t seem like a bad person.

Kargon and Jini also weren’t showing particularly hostile attitudes.

Since Elpinire, who possessed the basic ability to detect lies as a High Elf, said he was fine, there probably wasn’t any deception mixed in.

I nodded to show I understood and spoke to Daniel.

“If that’s what you want.”

“Then I’ll ask for your help, brother.”

I nodded and headed to the village together with Daniel.

* * *

“…Everyone really has passed away.”

In front of the numerous graves.

Daniel muttered in a somber voice and clutched his chest.

“If only I had arrived earlier…”

“They were attacked by monsters quite a long time ago, so it wouldn’t have made a difference even if you had arrived early.”

“…Is that so.”

At my consoling words, he smiled faintly and knelt down on the ground.

With a somewhat reverent atmosphere, he clasped his hands together, closed his eyes tightly, and whispered softly.

“Oh Arcke.”

Whoooosh-

A bright light emanated from his body.

I instinctively stepped back and stared wide-eyed at the radiance enveloping Daniel.

“What is this?”

It’s light.

And at the same time, it’s also mana.

The purity of the power felt similar to the mana that Uno had been emitting.

But unlike Uno’s, this light seemed to radiate reverence and sanctity just by encountering it.

After purifying the graves with that bright light, Daniel opened his closed eyes and said.

“Perhaps this is your first time seeing divine power?”

“Divine power?”

“Yes. It’s the power of Arcke granted to anyone who believes in the main god Arcke.”

Bright light emanated from Daniel’s right hand.

I stared at the light with my mouth agape.

“So that’s divine power. It’s completely opposite to the mana I use.”

“Oh. Is your power also special, brother?”

Seeing is believing.

Without saying anything, I raised my right hand and released mana.

“This is… quite violent yet intense mana.”

Daniel muttered in surprise as he looked at the mist that rose from my right hand.

“I’m starting to think that perhaps you might be a chosen one, brother.”

“Chosen?”

“Mana is fundamentally the power of life. That’s why everyone possesses the same power.”

Because everyone is the same life form, while the techniques used may differ, the mana consumed as fuel is all identical.

However.

“Those who possess special qualities as life forms have their mana’s very nature change differently.”

Elves are connected to the World Tree as life forms.

Spirit King contractors are directly connected to the Spirit King.

Also, in the case of some special monsters that can handle mana, it’s because they’re linked to the monster’s constitution.

All of their mana’s nature gets transformed.

“That’s right. You folks over there?”

“…!?”

A presence felt from behind.

I turned my head and saw Elpinire, Jini, and Kargon walking out from behind the house.

Elpinire, with darkened eyes, asked Daniel.

“How did you detect us?”

“It’s the main god’s blessing.”

“Hooh. I’m getting interested in this so-called main god.”

“Haha, I’m joking. Instead of good eyesight, my senses have just become sharper.”

Daniel shook his head, saying he had simply detected them, and smiled while placing his hand on his chest.

“In my case, my mana’s nature changed because I believe in the main god, but that wouldn’t be the reason for you, brother.”

“…That’s right.”

I had just thought that mana’s nature was each person’s individuality.

But it wasn’t that – everyone had special circumstances that actually transformed their mana’s nature.

Anyway.

“If you’re done with the memorial, leave quickly. This place will be attacked by monsters again soon.”

“Understood. However, there’s one thing I’m curious about.”

“What?”

“Where is the sole survivor of this village?”

“…”

I remained quietly silent.

Daniel stared intently at my face and then said.

“It seems they’re unwell and recuperating somewhere.”

“…How did you know.”

“As I said, it’s the main god’s blessing.”

Daniel smiled faintly and bowed his head to me once more in request.

“Please, won’t you take me to the sole survivor? My divine power might be able to heal them.”

“Healing… that would be impossible, wouldn’t it?”

Uno is in a state of rampage, so it’s not a problem that can be solved with healing.

Then, I heard Elpinire’s muttering voice from behind.

“…Master. It might actually be possible.”

“What?”

“I also heard this story from Alec, but the divine power of the Order of the Primordial God is literally a miracle.”

Reviving the minds of those whose spirits have collapsed.

The miraculous power that can restore even those on the brink of death to perfect health.

Even parts that couldn’t be resolved with elven healing would be fully possible with divine power.

“It might be possible, Master.”

“…”

Certainly, Uno is still suffering from high fever.

Right now, I had ordered Runar to come immediately if the fever rose any higher.

But if Uno’s condition doesn’t improve by the time Zero leads the monsters to attack again, it could be truly dangerous then.

‘I need to grasp at any straw here.’

Zero will definitely attack before today ends.

So I have no choice but to rely on this with the mindset of grasping at straws.

I nodded and said to Daniel.

“Follow me.”

“Yes.”

Having left the graveyard, I entered the Large House on the Hill together with Daniel.

Daniel, who followed me up to the 2nd Floor, looked at Uno breathing heavily on the bed and sighed softly.

“The small child is completely unable to control their mana.”

I thought he would be surprised by the pure mana that Uno possessed.

But Daniel didn’t even pay attention to that and immediately placed his hand on Uno’s forehead.

“It’s quite a high fever. This would be dangerous as it is. Have you administered any treatment?”

“I just wiped her body with a wet towel.”

“You did very well. Thanks to that, I should be able to calm the rampage easily.”

“…You can calm the rampage?”

Is that even possible?

I stared at Daniel with wide eyes.

Rolling up his sleeves, he nodded.

“The reason divine power has superior healing abilities is because it doesn’t receive interference from other mana.”

Not receiving interference from mana means.

It can penetrate the opponent’s body more reliably.

Therefore, if one was confident in mana control, they could also calm the rampage of someone who couldn’t control their mana.

“Could you entrust this child to me? I swear on the name of Lord Arcke that I will definitely calm her rampage.”

“…Is Arcke something important to you?”

“Yes. I have served him since childhood—he is my everything.”

Staking his everything…

Then I should trust him.

Nodding, I turned around.

“Then don’t worry and treat Uno.”

Instead, we will.

“Make sure not a single monster can approach this house.”

“…I’m counting on you.”

What we had to do was decided.

Closing the room door and walking out, I went down the stairs while loosely rotating my wrist.

“Phew…”

Still chilly.

Coming outside the house, I exhaled deeply into the still chilly air.

The dry air characteristic of autumn.

Looking up at the sky that still had no clouds, I slowly lowered my gaze.

Trees at the village outskirts where leaves were falling one by one.

Beyond them, right now.

“…”

Faint vibrations were gradually being detected.
