My Magic Tools Are Selling Too Well - My Magic Tools Are Selling Too Well chapter 40

40 – Anti-Venom (2)

Only scars remain where the demons swept away.

Even the hero who was praised by people as a saint was no exception.

A clergyman gifted with divine talent, Kate Akrion prepared breakfast with a gloomy face.

4 years ago.

The demonic war that was cheered by the public after defeating the demon king Beelzebub who descended on the continent.

It was a war that everyone was delighted with, saying that the maximum result was achieved with the minimum damage.

… on the other side of it.

There was a lot of blood shed and a lot of pain and suffering.

“chris. How is your condition today?”

Kate asked her sister, who had just sat down in a chair.

Since he could only hear it through sound, Chris slightly frowned and replied with a smile.

“good. I think something good will happen today.”

To that hopeful answer.

Kate was barely able to contain the feeling that her heart was about to collapse.

The demon war four years ago took a lot from Kate.

My parents, who were a couple of warriors, lost their lives to monsters on the front line.

The comrades who fought together died in battle without even finding a body.

And that hellish war is now.

only one family left,

He even tried to take his own brother.

Venom Arcus.

It wasn’t just the front lines that the cursed clan touched.

Venom Arcus had succeeded in infiltrating the Empire by taking advantage of the chaotic frontlines during the war.

A few demons were consuming all kinds of poison, and the flames of poisoning began to rise throughout the empire.

As long as the front lines don’t collapse, the Empire will be a safe zone.

Under that belief, citizens firmly did not leave their homes, and as a result, the number of casualties caused by poisoning was indescribably high.

A poison that cannot be cured with ordinary antidotes.

Countless people of the empire, including the hero, died from that special poison.

Chris Akrion was also a victim of Venom Arcus.

As soon as Kate heard that her brother was in danger, she shook off the power line and returned home.

Should I say that I am lucky out of misfortune?

Chris became addicted to the weakest of their poisons.

In contrast to the high-ranking poison victim who died after not surviving for a few days, it could be seen as a better treatment.

‘thank you.’

Thinking that only her life was saved, Kate thanked the sky.

And four years after that day.

Her careless care began.

Chris, who was said to have been poisoned with the weakest poison,

Over the course of four years, the symptoms gradually worsened.

At first, the symptoms that were just numbness were paralysis of the lower body.

Vision that was thought to be blurry has become blind.

There were many days when I coughed up blood from my mouth, which only came out with a light cough.

It seems that this is the limit that divine magic can stop.

The shadow of death was gradually approaching Chris.

And Kate didn’t want to admit it.

After seeing only that one treatment of his brother, he threw everything he had and ran.

It wasn’t that I had been holding out for four years to admit him.

Barely holding back the tears that are about to burst out,

Kate struggled to put on a bright expression.

“I am going to church today.”

“church?”

“huh. Is there a man with a long beard who treats Chris once in a while? I’m going to get him treated again today.”

The church is a branch established by the Theological Society for regular income.

A branch that takes care of citizens’ medical work and receives a certain amount of money in the form of donations.

This was also a means of living for priests who belonged to the warrior party and did not go on adventures.

Kate periodically takes her sister to the largest church at the center of the ecliptic.

This is because the church in question was a church where seniors who had a relationship from the academy worked.

Visit him about once a month and ask him to cast intermediate divine magic such as [Detox] or [Level Cure] on Chris.

Kate can use that much magic too, and she uses it on Chris every day, but…

I wondered if the sacred magic of a senior who was considered to be more experienced and competent would have some effect.

Literally, to try something, it was like grabbing a straw.

However, there was no significant effect.

The senior’s divine magic, as well as Kate’s own divine magic.

It was all just a stopgap.

The venom of Venom Arcus was a disease that the Sacred Society could not conquer.

No matter how high [Level Cure] was, it only had an instant effect, and their poison, which had special magical powers, could not be detoxified with [Detox].

To cure Chris… .

[Resurrection], which is called the ultimate divine magic, seemed to be something that could be used.

Of course, [Resurrection] is an incomprehensible area that exists only in history books or old books and is rarely acknowledged in the academic world…

In fact, it was assumed that there was no divine magic to cure him.

…

…

It must have been obvious that there wasn’t.

However, the senior I met at church today said something stupid to Kate today.

“Kate. I finally have a way to cure Chris.”

“yes?”

Kate, who hired a rickshaw to bring Chris to church,

He made an expression of disbelief at the story the senior brought out.

It was natural.

It was the senior who always convinced Kate that she would never give up on Chris.

Detoxification is not, strictly speaking, the realm of divinity.

you did everything you could

Chris is running out of time.

You have to prepare your heart… .

He is the senior who gave Kate such cold words as if they were cruel.

But even Kate couldn’t refute him.

Because they weren’t all false.

The girl who graduated from the Academy of Divinity at the top of her class.

It was a fact that she, who was praised as the saint of the empire, knew better.

But suddenly you have a way to cure it?

The senior took out a bottle of medicine with an excited expression.

“Have you heard of Anti-Venom? It’s a magic tool whose patent was approved yesterday, and it’s said to be a special antidote that makes you immune to all special poisons that can’t be cured with general antidotes. ”

“… … !!”

Kate put on a dumbfounded expression for a moment.

Even though I just heard the explanation,

It was a feeling of disorganization in my head.

therefore… .

Not divine magic,

You say you can heal Chris with a ‘magical tool’?

With this little vial,

You can decipher Venom Arcus’ poison?

If it was the old Kate, I would have dismissed it as nonsense as soon as I heard it…

She needed even the slightest hope.

If there was a possibility, I had to hold onto even the slightest odds.

“That’s it… ”

“It is a perfect antidote that has already been cross-validated. Articles have been pouring in from the imperial newspaper since yesterday, but I guess you haven’t seen them.”

“ah… .”

“The price is ridiculously expensive, but I can understand it because the performance is certain. I liked it so much that I bought one in advance with my own money. I must owe you so much, Kate, to let this pass.”

After saying that, the senior handed him a magic tool called [Anti-Venom].

Kate handed over the vial with trembling hands.

‘An antidote to cure Chris… .’

Excitement and tension crept into my heart at the same time.

I started to feel hopeful that I might really be able to fix Chris.

Kate looked back at her sister who was sitting next to her.

“Hey, Chris… Open your mouth.”

“Yes, sister.”

gulp- with a sound.

An antidote called [Anti-Venom] was injected into Chris’ mouth.

The senior who had been watching him quietly came to the side.

Then, he raised his divine power and cast [Level Cure].

“This antidote has no unusual divine power, so it is said that it should be administered together with the casting of divine magic to see the effect.”

At that, Kate quickly caught up and assisted with [Level Cure].

At first, Chris’s complexion, which didn’t seem to change much, felt like it was getting better and better.

Did the treatment go on for about 30 minutes?

Chris, who was quietly receiving treatment,

I opened my eyes slowly.

“Ahh… .”

“sister… !”

I opened my eyes.

My younger brother who lost his eyesight due to metastatic symptoms of poisoning.

He was looking at himself with his eyes open.

in that unbelievable sight,

Tears began to flow from Kate’s eyes.

“sister! oh… !”

“chris! be careful!”

It wasn’t just Kate who was excited.

Chris, who miraculously regained his sight after a long struggle with the disease, got up from his seat and tried to approach his sister.

But maybe it’s because I’ve lived a crippled life for too long?

Chris got up, but quickly lost his strength and fell.

Kate quickly reached her fallen brother and hugged him.

Chris said in an excited voice as he hugged his sister.

“I’m not sick anymore, sister. It doesn’t hurt at all!”

“ah… Ahh… .”

my brother was really good

Venom Arcus’ poison, which he thought was a curse, all disappeared.

Please don’t let my brother get sick.

I prayed that prayer every day, but when it became a reality, nothing came out.

All the sadness that drove Kate,

The dream-like joy of getting Chris back overlapped.

There were only tears flowing.

Kate sits down.

Inwardly, I prayed to the creator of [Anti-Venom].

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

I will never forget this favor.

That you saved a terminally ill patient.

He said he saved a brother and sister who were only in despair.

miracle.

He said that he literally did a miracle that would never happen again.

To the creator whose name I don’t know,

Kate expressed such infinite gratitude.
