Chapter 184 The Four Evils - Kyuuki And The Misfortune God
We arrived at the Elven country of Anemosgive.
Before us stood a monster that was forcibly inflicting a disease on Phoenix's Hawks-san.
"This is Kyuuki."
Kyuuki looked somewhat like Tai-chan, the Behemoth.
They had a tiger-like appearance standing about 3m tall.
However, their fur was pitch black, and most notably, they had porcupine-like needles protruding from their entire body.
Another distinctive feature was that the grass where Kyuuki stood was decaying.
With a sniff, I immediately noticed the scent.
"Black Silver-san, be careful. Kyuuki seems to constantly secrete a deadly poison."
"...Impressive, you have a sense of smell like a dog."
Both Black Silver-san and I kept our distance from Kyuuki to avoid being exposed to its poison.
"What should we do?"
"Let's try to communicate first."
"What!? Are you serious? It's a terrifying monster! We should eliminate them immediately."
Black Silver-san seemed eager to defeat Kyuuki right away, but if possible, I wanted to attempt communication.
I wanted to understand why they were behaving this way.
I wanted to know the reason.
"It doesn't necessarily mean they have intelligence."
"No, they do."
"...On what basis?"
"Because they're observing us."
Perhaps they were also under the influence of anesthesia, but Kyuuki was staring at us intently. I could sense some intelligence in their gaze.
"Besides, most poisons don't affect me. Please, let me try to communicate with them."
"Why bother with communication?"
"My power... is something I received from the Medicine God, Master Asclepius."
The power I learned from my master was the power to heal. If possible, I didn't want to fight.
Kyuuki might have their own circumstances.
Even though the likelihood seemed slim once they caused harm.
"Understood. I'll leave it to you."
"Thank you."
I approached Kyuuki.
As I got closer, I realized that a tremendous amount of poison was being secreted from them.
The poison that would kill an ordinary person was being dispersed into the air.
I came within earshot distance.
"Nice to meet you. I am Leaf Chemist, a healer."
Kyuuki looked at me and said,
'...Misfortune God?'
"What? Misfortune God...? Master Asclepius is my master."
In an instant, Kyuuki disappeared.
"Leaf-kun!?"
'I see, perish swiftly... die!'
I was thrown into the air.
Kyuuki was now where I had been standing just moments ago.
I saw it. Kyuuki closed the distance in an instant and launched an attack at me.
I managed to dodge the direct hit by jumping at the moment of impact.
'You're the apostle of the Misfortune God, aren't you? I'll kill you... I'll kill you... I'll crush you!!!!'
