How to Live as an Illegal Healer

352. The person who broke the taboo by nature 1

“Ugh… he looks really scary.”

Kim Ho-jeong hurriedly brought out the golden glory as she looked at the monsters surrounding her.

At first glance, the lump monsters looked like grotesque flesh puppets made of meat.

“Hoo-ha.”

“after.”

However, seeing that it was ‘breathing’, an action that cannot be seen with a doll, it must have been a creature.

“Do you know what that is, Mr. Kang?”

“It’s a low-class humanoid homunculus.”

“It sounds like a relative of Santa Claus.”

‘This is the first time anyone has heard of a homunculus and said that.’

Kang Seung-hyun thought with a calm face.

Homunculus.

Simply put, it is an artificial life form, but to be precise, it is a by-product of the failure of ancient alchemists to study the creation of the ultimate human life.

“If I had to explain it in terms Kim Ho-jung would understand, it would be a synthetic human.”

“Eh? Where do you see that, is it human? It’s a mud monster.”

“I think it was made roughly.”

It is difficult to tell whether a low-level homunculus is a human or a doll, but the higher the grade, the closer it becomes to a human.

So, in battle, they mainly use low-level homunculus that can be made roughly.

“Of course, if you put a lot of money and time into it, you can make it indistinguishable from a real person.”

“Are you saying they’re cheap anyway?”

Kim Ho-jung was very happy and rushed at it, but shouted

“Ehehe!”

Fuck!

Soon after, he was hit by a homunculus and fell to the floor.

“By the way, even if it’s a low class, it’s stronger than quite a few Azul Continental people.”

“I’ll tell you quickly…”

“I thought you knew.”

“I heard the name for the first time today, uuuu!”

The moment Kim Ho-jung fell on the floor screamed,

“…!! …!”

The homunculus cast a downward strike.

grasp!

cooong!

Then Kang Seung-hyeon immediately kicked Kim Ho-jeong away, and the homunculus smashed the bare floor and smashed it.

Fu-wook!

Kang Seung-hyeon then took out a knife and quickly cut off the arm of the homunculus.

Although it was a creature, not a single drop of blood flowed out.

“What is it, why are you so strong? I don’t even use skills!”

Lee Ji-ah, who was dealing with another homunculus from behind, shouted with a puzzled face.

“They can’t use skills.”

“You say you can’t use your skills?”

“So even if you have physical abilities, you have to be superior to humans to be able to fight fairly.”

Depending on the discretion of the alchemist, a homunculus can have excellent physical abilities that exceed those of ordinary humans, a beautiful appearance, and a long lifespan if only money and time are invested.

Nevertheless, the reason why they were regarded as defective products that could not be treated as human beings was simple.

“Because a homunculus has no magical power.”

Creation of life, one of the three taboo areas of the Azul Continent, where humans must not touch.

However, the homunculus was created by human hands and could not possess or handle the magic possessed by any creature on the Azul Continent, probably because it was originally a creature that violated taboos.

It’s because they can’t handle it because of the rejection reaction, but the difference from the magic resisters who have magic inside their bodies is that their bodies can’t contain magic at all.

So, there was an attempt to separately inject or transplant mana into the body of the produced homunculus, but it flowed out like a broken jar, so it was abandoned for a long time.

“It can be mass-produced, has excellent physical abilities, and doesn’t age well, but it can’t surpass humans because of the fatal flaw of not being able to use skills.”

So, the awareness of the homunculus in the Azul Continent is only a bit sturdy and long-lasting meat shield.

“It doesn’t deal basic damage, but it feels like skill damage goes well.”

“By the way, the biological prosthetic swords that alchemists make apply homunculus transformation, so you cannot use the skill.”

“Oh…”

So, the ultimate goal of alchemists is to create a homunculus that transcends humans, capable of possessing magical powers, but because the church doesn’t want to wait and see, they don’t get along as badly as black magicians or wizards.

Shupat!

Kang Seung-hyeon threw a knife at the homunculus and then spread

[Broken Blade]

blade fragments to attack.

Pooh!

Since the caster was so strong that it was an attack that was difficult to block even with skills, the bodies of the homunculi were crushed at once.

“That’s why it’s not that difficult to deal with only the homunculus.”

gurgling gurgling.

The problem is that whenever Kang Seung-hyeon and his party destroy a homunculus, the alchemists in the back are either repairing the broken homunculus or making a new one.

“It takes a long time if someone supports me from behind.”

[Summons Freea’s crossbow.]

Kang Seung-hyun clicked his tongue lightly and took out the crossbow.

“I’ll have to deal with the alchemists first. Mr. Kim Ho-jung, please pull me aggro.”

“okay!”

Hojeong Kim nodded and was about to use an aggro skill.

“There will be no end to this.”

Then someone walked out from behind.

“Go down first. I’ll take care of those guys.”

“what?”

-Leave this to me and go first.

It is an obvious and trivial but touching cliché of willingly sacrificing oneself for the sake of other colleagues for a purpose.

“From now on, this Mr. Alec will deal with you!”

“What are you going to do again!”

Unless it was Alec who was the one who said that.

“But you don’t have to catch them all, do you? Why don’t we just clear the way to the stairs?”

“That’s good! After all, our destination is the first floor!”

“Then let’s do it. And when you’re done exploring the first floor, break down the front door and bounce outside.”

Of course, Kang Seung-hyun and his party didn’t care, thinking that Alec was going on another eccentric trip because of what he had been through.

“A black magician… There’s something irritating.”

“Why are black magicians wandering around the Mage Tower?”

“I don’t know. You should have gone out to know.”

“The priests are bad luck, but the black magicians are also formidable.”

On the other hand, the alchemists did not know what kind of person Alec was, so they prepared for battle with normal and normal minds.

“I’ve had a lot of things piled up lately, but that’s good.”

“You know we hate dark magicians, right? Even if it wasn’t for that, since I’ve come this far, I have no intention of letting you live.”

“Oh, it’s not that important, but that’s a side job.”

Whoa!

Blood flowed from Alec’s fingertips, and the dark red magic that was unique to a blood mage spread out.

“Hmm, he was a blood mage.”

“You say your main job is a detective.”

“Anyway, being a black magician is the same.”

“Is the order important?”

Alec smiled and responded casually.

“Because depending on what you put in front of you, it’s as different as coffee milk and milk coffee.”

“You’re a bad guy.”

The alchemists frowned in displeasure.

It was because he didn’t like the brazen attitude of talking despite being surrounded by dozens of homunculi.

“Looks like it’s the first time you’ve fought an alchemist, but you’re not mistaking us for wizards, are you?”

“huh? It’s a similar job, right?”

Alec snapped his fingers in response.

“On the other side, making fire, making water, and making jewels and making slime over there. To others, a wizard or an alchemist or something like that?”

“what?”

The alchemists immediately frowned and shouted.

“This is why they don’t know!”

“Fire-making is something a wizard can do, and jewel fusion is something only an alchemist can do!”

“Oh, if you put it that way, miners dig for gems and minerals, so they are no different from alchemists.”

“What is it?”

“However, miners have excellent strength and stamina, but alchemists have no strength and are flimsy… So calling a miner an alchemist is a big disrespect!”

Since Alec was a human being who had no one to follow in order to annoy others, he got on the alchemists’ nerves very naturally, like flowing water.

“In other words, it is correct to call alchemists powerless miners.”

“That bloodbag bastard!”

“I will kill you!”

“come!”

In fact, several alchemists who fell for the provocation were about to run away.

Knock!

“Don’t fall for tricks.”

“Ugh!”

The olive-haired alchemist created clay-like grips under his feet and grabbed the ankles of running idiots and tripped them.

“Blood mage is a profession that specializes in close combat. He is a black magician who can fight using his own blood as well as the blood of others, so he must be deliberately trying to induce people to approach him.”

Seeing as he calmly responded to Alec’s irritating provocations, he seemed to be an experienced alchemist.

“If you approached without thinking, the blood from your whole body would have ripped through your flesh.”

“I’m sorry…”

“Remember that we’re not used to fighting, but the opponent is.”

“yes!”

The alchemists hurriedly withdrew with red faces.

“You asked the difference between a white-haired blood mage wizard and an alchemist, right? I will let you know.”

“Thank you for that. Green-haired alchemist.”

“Guys, why don’t you just introduce yourself?”

“…It’s Luten.”

“This body is Mr. Alec.”

“Anyway, let’s continue the story.”

At first glance, wizards and alchemists are similar jobs, but there was a crucial difference.

“I can go wild against other classes, especially against wizards, but alchemists are a bit different.”

A wizard is no different from a black magician’s food, but an alchemist is a good job to deal with a black magician.

“First of all, alchemists have much higher resistance to dark magic than wizards.”

Whoa!

He threw the powder bag he took out of his pocket onto the floor, and created dozens of homunculus bodies using it and the floor as a base.

gurgling gurgling.

“Oh, ghastly. Mr. Kang, is that a lower class too?”

“If the lower class is D-class, that would be about B-class.”

The homunculus that was created this time was a little closer to a human than a lower class, but it was still far from a real human, and rather awkwardly resembled it, which made me feel uncomfortable.

Hwaaak!

“Now, the distance between you and me is about 1.5m… If I were a wizard, the symptoms of magic contamination would have appeared long ago.”

In fact, there was a thick layer of dark magic flowing from Alec’s body, but the alchemist calmly used the skill.

“Unlike weak magicians who break down just by being touched by dark magic, alchemists change their magic very slowly.”

To a certain extent, the magic contamination resistance was strong enough to allow the skill to be used even when nearly half of the magical power it possessed was contaminated.

“In addition, the homunculus has no magical power, so it is not affected by dark magic at all, and it has high divine resistance and dark magic resistance because it is a being that violates the taboo of the gods.”

Although the homunculus itself does not have divine power, it has great resistance to the attacks of black magicians, so it is natural that alchemists with strong shields have an advantage.

“Looking at this far, the alchemist has an overwhelming advantage, but…”

Alchemist Luten smiled and took out a bottle of potion from his bosom.

“An interesting potion has been developed recently.”

The moment he sprinkled them on the body of the homunculus.

Faaaaa!

A dazzling light spread from the body of the homunculus.

The light began to purify and drive away the dark magic flowing around Alec.

“Isn’t that divine power?”

“It seems right.”

Of course, homunculus can’t handle not only mana, but also divine power and black magic.

According to common sense, there is no god who wants to give power to someone who has violated the divine taboo.

“…”

However, as if laughing at the taboo, the homunculus created by Luten radiated noble divine power and began to oppress the blood mage in front of them.

“Giving divine power to dozens of homunculi is no different from dealing with dozens of priests with physical abilities beyond humans.”

The birth of an existence that seems to have been created by collecting only the natural enemies of black magicians, who are not even black magic.

“Can you really win?”

The moment they heard Luten’s words, the three people behind them thought like this.

‘That bastard, Alec.’

‘First of all.’

‘I’m going to jump to the first floor!’

Regardless of Alec’s skills, this was an enemy that could not be defeated in a compatible way.

‘To defeat that, I’ll have to use at least the power of Sehmet that I used to fight Simua Rize.’

The problem is that it is a self-destruct device that will kill you if you use it once.

Last time, Sehmet lent him his protection, so he was barely holding on, so Kang Seung-hyun was able to save him, but there is no guarantee that he will do so this time as well.

So, Kang Seung-hyun and the others said, of course, Alec said,

‘Hey, I was going to take over, but I’ll have to give it up.’

‘I’ll leave this to you. I go first.’

I thought I was going to jump to the first floor while shouting bullshit.

“Oh sure, that’s fun. Instant Priest.”

But surprisingly, instead of running away, Alec smiled and stepped forward.

“Then, in return, I’ll show you something fun this way too.”
