Chapter 18 - Exterminating the monsters (2/2)

I rushed over and touched the wound. Father was groaning 「Uu」 in pain.

[Please endure it. 『Healing force, please a.s.semble』 ]

It seemed liked the wound was not serious. Even though the bleeding was terrible, it's not a fatal wound.

I felt relieved for a moment after casting the spell, but his face complexion was still bad.

[Father?]

[What, don't worry. As long as the wound is closed up, ugh]

[Don't move yet, Russel-san. Weren't you poisoned by the monster?]

When father tried to get up, One of the people who guarded father grabbed his shoulder and made him sit. He was called Reid, the boss of the warriors in the village.

[Poison!?]

[Yeah, that centipede-like monster sprayed poison while attacking us&h.e.l.lip;]

[If that's the case, we must detoxicate it!]

I turned to father's body again and raised my palm. I imagined the flush of poison flowing in the whole body in my head.

And then, I uttered an incantation.

[ 『The poison flowing in this person's body, eliminate it and recover the body to it's normal state』 ]

When I finished chanting, father's body shone for a moment. After the light disappeared, father's complexion seemed better compared to a moment ago.

It's clearly becoming better than earlier.

[Ku, how pitiful I am, showing such a shameful side to my son]

[Th-that's okay! Father was fighting for the sake of the people in the village, right!? There's no way that kind of father would look shameful!]

[Fu.. That's right, my son]

[Of course!]

Although still staggering a little, father managed to stand up. I stood at father's side and supported him.

However, my body was also staggering a little. I used considerable amount of aether, I'm exhausted.

[With this everything is settled. You can be relieved]

Reid himself showed a relieved expression.

In the village, monster corpses were stacked up everywhere. Centipede, leopard, bear, wild boar&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; It was an ugly sight to behold. But still, sighs of relief could be heard as the safety of the village had been a.s.sured.

[Nevertheless, Gerald. You&h.e.l.lip;]

Reid was looking down at me. When I took a glance, my body started to shake a little.

When my ident.i.ty as a magician was revealed, what kind of eyes would they use to look at me? Was it fear? Would I get persecuted and get kicked out of the village?

Such anxiety was sprouting in my mind. When the monster raid is over, everyone will start pressuring me about this matter.

Whether fortunate -- or fortunate -- Reid-san didn't continue his questioning.

It's because, there was a sudden explosion in the village.

[What!? What is that sound!?]

Reid-san prepared his weapon again after hearing the sound.

That sound-- Mother and Sierra, I heard the sound from the direction at our house.

[Mother! Sierra!]

I began to shout and run. It's didn't even matter if my aether was exhausted.

I repatedly used 『Teleport』, and reached our house in a few second.

At that place, I encountered someone who made me determined to be a Royal Court Magician.
