Chapter 140

I analyzed the poison’s components and handed them over to the medical team.

I could figure out the components, but making an antidote was beyond me.

Now that I’ve identified the poison’s components, my job is done. All that’s left is to wait for the antidote to be made.

Since Yoon Yeon’s tent wasn’t available, a temporary tent was provided for us, so it’s just me, Wi Ho-yeon, and Kang I-seo here.

“Wow, such dedication.”

“What? What’s your problem now?”

“Ugh… First Ha Yu-ri, and now Yoon Yeon? Seriously…”

“Hey, man. We gotta save someone who’s dying, right?”

“…You’re really good at slipping out of things, huh?”

“…Whatever, my mouth’s just tired.”

Lately, Kang I-seo’s been full of complaints, nitpicking at everything.

“Damn, just your mouth? Feels like your lower half’s gonna hurt soon too.”

“…You crazy woman, do you even think before you speak?”

Maybe my attitude rubbed her the wrong way, because Kang I-seo turned to Wi Ho-yeon.

“Sigh… What do you think, stoic bodyguard? Don’t you think Lee Yun-seong’s just charming women left and right? It feels intentional at this point.”

“….I’m Lee Yun-seong’s bodyguard. Whatever my charge does, I follow.”

“Ugh, I’m gonna lose it.”

Kang I-seo clutched the back of her neck, groaning at Wi Ho-yeon’s response.

“….But, separate from that, it does seem like a lot of women get involved with Lee Yun-seong.”

“…Huh? Ho-yeon…?”

I was caught off guard. I didn’t expect such words from Wi Ho-yeon.

“See! I told you! If even she feels that way, it’s obvious!”

“…..”

“Hey, I didn’t get why Seo Yoo-ju always made a fuss about you, but after following you around just once, it all makes sense now.”

“What? This is so unfair. Even if I were in a relationship with Ha Yu-ri or Yoon Yeon, or even both at the same time, why should anyone care?”

Honestly, neither of them are my lovers, and in this world of Eras, it’s possible for a man to have multiple women or vice versa, as long as they have the ability.

‘Sure, Seo Yoo-ju has a history with me and feelings for me, so I get her being annoying, but why is she acting like this too?’

“…What, what?”

“No, it’s not like that. Damn…”

“So what? You’re sleeping with them?”

“That’s not what I’m saying, but even if I were, what’s the problem?”

“…Don’t do it.”

“Don’t do what?”

Kang I-seo answered with a pale face.

“…Just don’t.”

‘What’s going on?’

I was baffled by Kang I-seo’s sudden change in demeanor.

“Hey, what’s wrong? Are you feeling sick?”

“…No. I’ll be back in a bit.”

After Kang I-seo left the tent, I turned to Wi Ho-yeon, confused.

“Ho-yeon, did I do something wrong? Why’s she acting like that? She looked like she was in pain…”

“I’m not sure either… She just suddenly…”

‘Damn, what’s going on? Is she sick or something?’

I’ve never seen Kang I-seo make that kind of face before, so I couldn’t help but worry.

******

“…How’s your body holding up?”

*Thud*

At my question, Yoon Yeon turned her shoulder and answered.

“Much better, thanks. The paralysis is almost gone. Though my vision’s still the same.”

“You won’t lose your vision permanently, so don’t stress too much about it.”

“Hmm… Are you worried about me? Anyway, I owe you again this time.”

“….We help each other out. You’ve helped me too, Yeon.”

This is just mutual support.

“Well, I feel like I’ve received way more help from you than I’ve given. I practically owe you my life.”

“…It’s not that serious. Someone would’ve figured out the poison’s components eventually.”

“Ha, do you really think that?”

“…..”

“Sometimes, it feels like you don’t acknowledge the things you do for others.”

Even though Yoon Yeon’s vision is impaired right now, it felt like she was looking straight through me, reading my thoughts.

“I don’t know why you’re like that, but it’s a little sad to see.”

“What are you…”

“…You don’t seem to affirm yourself. No, not ‘seem’—you definitely don’t. At least from what I see.”

“…..”

“Well, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. There are all kinds of people out there.”

…This is why I hesitate to have deep conversations with Yoon Yeon.

If you don’t get close to her, she just seems like a woman obsessed with martial arts, but the reality is different.

Once you get to know her, you realize she has an insight into people’s hearts that surpasses her martial prowess.

“…What are you trying to say?”

“…Nothing much, just that I want to repay you.”

“Repay me?”

“Yeah. But I can’t right now, not in this state. Once my vision’s back after the expedition, I’ll do it then.”

“You don’t have to repay me…”

“No, I’m giving it to you whether you like it or not. And… I’ve realized something.”

“Realized what?”

“I’ve come to understand my own feelings.”

‘What…’

For a moment, I wondered if Yoon Yeon had feelings for me, but I dismissed it as a ridiculous thought.

‘What a crazy idea…’

“…….”

Yoon Yeon didn’t answer my question. She just stretched and stood up.

“…Shall we take a walk?”

“Wait, hold on. You can’t see, what are you doing?”

I was shocked. A blind person suddenly getting up and suggesting a walk? From my perspective, it was alarming.

“No need to worry. Sure, important battles are out of the question, but walking or daily activities are manageable.”

“What? You’re blind, how…”

The reason I reacted like this is because Yoon Yeon…



Because I was walking while avoiding this object.

“It’s a bit embarrassing to say this with my own mouth, but when you reach my level, you can use magic power to sense the outline or shape of objects for a long time.”

“Crazy…”

“Anyway… but seriously, it was really shocking.”

“…What’s so shocking?”

“How could you really be so defenseless like that and do nothing? At the very least, most men would try to do something without getting caught, but you… sigh…”

“What are you talking about… huh?”

“Wait. Fuck…?”

“…Yeon noona. Were you really aware of everything even back then?”

When I was analyzing the poison, Yoon Yeon could also sense my movements.

Of course, it would have been different from now since her body wasn’t normal.

“…I was really shocked. In fact, that’s why Riki’s words seemed true.”

As I was too shocked to say anything, she approached me with clumsy steps and spoke.

“What are you doing? I can distinguish objects, but are you going to let a woman in this state walk alone?”

“Seriously, you’re much stronger than me, why…”

Since Yoon Yeon’s body has somewhat recovered, if I were to fight her now, I would definitely lose.

Even though she lost her sight, it was surprisingly clear that I had no confidence in winning against her.

“Really, no sense at all. Don’t act like that and guide me, will you? Life’s savior.”

“Alright. So, can you drop the ‘life’s savior’ title? It’s cringy.”

As we stepped outside the tent, Park Seo-hwa greeted us.

“Thank you. Thanks to you, our Clan Master survived a close call.”

“No, all I did was figure out the poison’s composition. It was those who made the antidote who worked hard.”

“No, if it weren’t for Lee Yun-seong, things would have really… I had no idea you were knowledgeable about poison. You’re amazing.”

“Haha…”

Since I couldn’t reveal my unique traits, I just said I knew a bit about poison.

Some people questioned my explanation, but whatever. The result was good, after all.

“Unnie, are you okay? Walking…”

“I’m fine. This much is no problem. And I have this guy next to me.”

“…Don’t push yourself.”

“Well… it’s definitely inconvenient not being able to see. It’s a good thing it’s me, others wouldn’t be able to walk like this if they lost their sight.”

It’s not arrogance, it’s the truth.

Most players can’t do anything if they lose their sight.

Only someone like Yoon Yeon could manage this.

“Anyway, I’m relatively fine, so don’t worry unnecessarily. More importantly, I need to hear the report. What’s the situation?”

“…After the battle with that Legend Grade monster, small monsters have been appearing, and we’re dealing with them at the base. It seems like the monsters are being drawn to the commotion, unnie.”

“Casualties?”

“Not that bad yet. But…”

“…Go on.”

“There are gradually more people losing their senses. It’s still a small percentage overall, but…”

“There must be some problem.”

“Yes. The thing is… some of those who lost their senses are key combatants…”

‘The situation in Area 1 is bad.’

Yoon Yeon has already lost her sight.

Not only is a key combatant tied up, but other important forces are also having issues, making it hard to proceed smoothly.

This isn’t a matter of willpower.

Ordinary people have never experienced losing their senses, let alone fighting without them.

While listening to Park Seo-hwa’s report, a man came running and reported.

“We’re currently facing monsters in the rear!”

“…What’s the situation?”

“Several Big Shapes and a few White Golems are in battle. The thing is… both have strong physical resistance, so we’re struggling.”

‘White Golems?’

Seems like a monster found in Area 1.

Yoon Yeon spoke up.

“Guide me. Let’s go there.”

I was momentarily stunned by Yoon Yeon’s words. A blind person heading to the battlefield? Who wouldn’t be shocked?

“Wait, what are you saying? You’re going to the front lines now?”

“…I’m the overall commander here. Of course.”

“Unnie! What are you saying?!”

“Just guide me. I don’t know about Big Shapes, but a few White Golems could cause significant damage. So, we need to go and reduce the damage.”

“Unnie…”

“My body is fine now. I can somewhat overcome the vision issue, so stop nagging and guide me.”

Eventually, Park Seo-hwa gave the man a look at Yoon Yeon’s insistence.

“…Alright, everyone follow me.”

When we arrived at the scene, it was a pretty intense battle.

Perhaps because key combatants had lost their senses, they seemed to be struggling somewhat.

‘…Big Shapes are one thing, but the real problem is those White Golems.’

About six or seven average players were clinging to that huge guy.

While tanks held the front line to buy time, mages were casting spells.

“…Kang I-seo.”

“Yeah?”

“See that small, glowing circular part on the Golem’s chest?”

“Yeah, I can see it if I look closely…”

“Can you shoot an arrow infused with magic there? That’s probably its weak point.”

I woke up, not at home, but in a strange place. A tutorial? They want me to pick a profession, grab a weapon, and fight monsters? Just as I found myself in a life-threatening situation, a woman appeared and saved me. Out of curiosity, I checked her status window—and couldn’t believe my eyes. What? A regressor? “Um… are you okay?” Strangely enough, she seemed friendly toward me. And one thought crossed my mind. ‘This... I need to take advantage of this.’
