The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With

43 – Separation at Dawn (5)

The mountain griffin was hit by an unknown beam and immediately lost its balance and began to fall.

“Captain Vivian!”

Captain Vivian, who had just fallen into the water, struggled to rise to the surface.

Then the griffin fell into the lake and the torrent that created it engulfed us.

After going round and round in the water for a while, I managed to stop myself and rise to the surface.

“Poaaak!”

Captain Vivien grabbed me by the neck and frantically struggled on his feet.

“The gear is too heavy! It’s sinking!”

“Don’t worry. I’ll take it.”

I grabbed Captain Vivian by the back and slowly swam to the edge of the lake.

The lake isn’t very big, so soon we were able to get up and get our feet on the ground.

“Haa…”

Lieutenant Vivien sat down on his sandbar, catching his breath as he ripped at the hair that clung to his face.

“But the smell is gone.”

Captain Vivien, sniffing with his arms raised, looked down at the lake with a languid grin.

“Is that dead?”

I saw two griffins floating on the water.

One whose wings were severed by me, and the other whose body was pierced by a beam.

“If you’ve been like that all this time, I’m sure you’re dead.”

Catching two mountain griffins at once is a great harvest today.

I found the nest at once, killed the chicks, and had some difficulties in the middle, but I still wiped out all the mates.

By the way….

I looked down at the chest part of the armor that had become a rag.

Looking through the inside pockets, the parting at dawn is silent, emitting an unchanging brilliant light.

Though I think about it, I can’t help but think that it shot that strange beam.

Looks blue, it looks like magic.

Suddenly, Orléans’ will came to mind.

Even if you just have it? Even if I just leave it in the guild?

I thought it would help anyway.

Is that what you meant?

If I had worn the Ciratus armor today, it would have been a waste.

“By the way, Mr. Leonard, are you a wizard?”

Captain Vivien asked while looking at the parting at dawn.

“No. It’s not like that. I think it’s because of this.”

“The wizard’s curse is on…”

Captain Vivian was extremely wary and moved a little away from me.

“Very messed up by the way. Torn and wet.”

I took off the damaged armor and threw it on the sandbank, and took off the shirt I was wearing underneath.

I can’t ride a horse while my whole body is wet, so I need to dry it off.

“What kind of scar…?!”

Seeing all the scars on his upper body, Captain Vivian opened his eyes wide.

“These are things I got here and there. By the way, how about the side?”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Captain Vivian frowned arrogantly and placed his hand on his side.

A deep wound was revealed through the torn armor.

“Keugh…. It hurts so much, this.”

“The surface of the griffin’s beak is rough. Let’s do a simple first aid. Come out and take off your clothes.”

“Yes?”

Captain Vivian looked at him dumbfounded, and he spoke again.

“Come out and take off your clothes.”

“You mean take off your clothes?”

“Then you have such a deep wound, are you going to keep wearing wet clothes? Take off your clothes first and dry them. In the meantime, I’ll close the wound.”

“You mean suturing?”

“It’s torn. It needs to be sewn up. If the horse is running in that condition and gets blown into the dirt wind, it may fester later.”

“No, do you know how to do that?”

“He’s a demon hunter, right? He treats most things by himself.”

Captain Vivian tilted his head, but got up obediently and went ashore.

We wandered around in wet clothes and went into the bushes where the horses were hidden.

There, I took off all my combat boots and pants and squeezed out the water.

I have Captain Vivian, but I hate being wet and uncomfortable right now.

If you were from the vanguard of the Principality Corps, you wouldn’t be embarrassed to see a male nude anyway.

It’s a place where people roll terribly regardless of gender.

As expected, Captain Vivian didn’t care at all whether I took off my clothes or not, and took off all of them himself.

Of course, with the panties still on. It sounds natural.

Wow, but the muscles… It’s amazing.

However, compared to Celestine or Leana, her breasts are almost nonexistent.

No, a small chest suits such a muscular body.

“No need to be shy, Mr. Leonard.”

“That’s what I’m going to say. All right, hang out my clothes. I’ll light a fire.”

“Okay.”

I gathered branches while Captain Vivian came out and hung his clothes on the tree.

A few drops of the drug were placed inside the spare Molotov cocktail, and the impact of the foot stomped on it, causing the flames to flare up.

Captain Vivian looked at it curiously.

“What is that? When I saw it when I threw it earlier, it exploded and poured fire.”

“Oh, this? It’s one of the favorite elixirs demon hunters use. It’s the kind that directly damages opponents rather than drink it.”

“So you’re saying there’s also a drink?”

“Most people drink it. It improves physical abilities in many ways, and it varies slightly depending on the purpose.”

“Then maybe it’s drugs or something?!”

As expected, drugs come out right away, just like the head of the border patrol investigation team.

“It’s not a drug. It’s poison.”

“You mean poison?!”

“People die if they drink it.”

You wouldn’t believe it if I just said it, so I took out the most poisonous thing I brought out today and sprinkled it on the floor.

Captain Vivian opened his mouth in amazement when he saw the yellowing grass as it smoked.

“Are you sure? This is not a drug.”

After securely closing the lid, I took surgical instruments and a blanket out of the bag hanging from the horse’s saddle.

“Lay on your side here with the wound side up. Your back to me.”

As I spread a blanket by the campfire, Captain Vivian lay down and groaned as I ordered.

From noble mtl dot com

“It really hurts.”

“It’ll hurt a little longer.”

“Yes?!”

Before Captain Vivien turned to me, I took a bottle from my waistband and threw it on the affected area.

“Aaghh!!”

As soon as the disinfectant arrived, Captain Vivien screamed in pain.

“Stay still.”

She squeezed her shoulder and sprayed the antiseptic a few more times, this time dabbing a different medicine around her wound.

“Huh? What is it? It suddenly doesn’t hurt?”

“This is a paralyzing drug.”

“Paralytics…? Hmmm…”

Captain Vivian reacted very suspiciously.

Actually, this is a real drug.

When applied to the skin, it dulls the senses, and when drunk, it causes hallucinations.

When you are seriously injured in battle, you carry it with you to continue fighting while temporarily blocking pain.

“You don’t feel anything?”

Captain Vivian nodded as he pressed his fingernails around his wound.

“Then let’s begin.”

The wound was quickly closed with a needle and thread soaked in antiseptic.

“There is a strange noise.”

“It’s the sound of needles piercing flesh.”

It took some time because the wound was so big, but it was safely sutured.

I have sutured my own wounds several times, but it is not a problem to suture the cuts of others who lie quietly.

A thick plaster was applied to the sutured area.

This is a medicine that prevents inflammation and helps new skin grow.

All of these are made by myself.

Medicine, drug, drug. Approx all over.

From elixirs that improve physical abilities to simple disinfectants.

The max level of a demon hunter is different from that of other classes.

It means that the body has become able to withstand extremely harmful poison.

As the level goes up, more and more types of medicines are resistant to, and when you reach the highest level, you are invincible.

In other words, even if you drink all the elixirs, your life will not be affected in any way.

Of course, the damn pain from drinking it is still there.

When the brand of the hound is linked to this, it exerts tremendous power against demons.

It’s like a devil-only munchkin.

Of course, even a human can’t fight a max level demon hunter unless they have decent skills.

There are really no drug addicts.

After having Captain Vivien sit up, he wrapped the bandage tightly.

“Go to the guild and get Divine Healing from Celestine. Then you’ll be completely healed before dinner tonight.”

“Thank you. Your skills are almost that of a military surgeon.”

“Would you do better than a surgeon?”

At my words, Captain Vivian giggled as she spread her palms over the bonfire.

“By the way, are you promoted to major now, captain? Captain Vivien must be the first garrison member to enter the griffin’s lair with a knife in hand?”

“hahahaha, I’m not sure. Getting promoted to major is easier said than done. I’m not even from the military academy.”

“Oh, is that so? Then?”

“I started as a soldier. I was lucky enough to rise to the rank of captain.”

Hmm, if you came up from a soldier and became a captain, wouldn’t your skills have been verified more?

No. In the first place, since the military academy is a place to train high-ranking officers, it is only natural that they be pushed aside.

So that’s why you’re risking your life like this to build a track record.

It’s great, but at the same time it’s a bit salty.

Anyway, now we have to recover Griffin’s corpse.

If left as it is, it will soon sink.

“You’re drying yourself and your clothes here. In the meantime, I’ll retrieve some of the gryphon’s bodies.”

“How do I retrieve that?”

As I pointed to the hooks and ropes hanging from the horse’s saddle, Captain Vivian admired it.

“Do demon hunters always carry everything they own? It seems like they don’t have anything.”

“If you’re going to survive, you have to. Stay here anyway.”

As soon as I got up and grabbed the hook and rope, Captain Vivien followed.

“Wouldn’t you put a hook on the corpse? I’ll hold the rope.”

Hmm, is that okay?

Well, since I’ve been sutured and applied with ointment, I can at least hold on to the rope.

“Good.”

I grabbed the hook and swam to the griffin’s corpse.

I put a hook into my thick hind leg, tied it with a rope, and went back.

“Then pull.”

Captain Vivian and I grabbed the rope side by side and pulled the griffin’s corpse as hard as we could.
