Simultaneously, a system prompt resonated beside Lynne's ear.
[Ding! You have slain the Flesh Deceiver x1, and you have earned 100 experience points.]
Hearing the system's prompt, Lynne finally relaxed.
That is to say, the monster just now indeed hadn't died thoroughly; it was only after he stabbed it over a hundred times that it finally breathed its last.
Lynne wiped the blood from his blade, feeling somewhat guilty. For he knew, his master could absolutely not return at this time, and even if it truly were his master, stabbing would still be necessary because if he were on the outside, his master would stab him too.
However, it seemed, indeed tonight would be a sleepless one. It was just midnight, and there actually were monsters knocking on the door, who knew what would happen in the latter part of the night?
Lynne was about to clean the bloodstains on the ground. But just then,
[Warning! Warning! An Origin-level monster is approaching! Crisis level 100%!]
Lynne froze instantly, but his response was swift, almost immediately pressing against the exterior wall, his gaze fixed sternly on the door from the side, holding his breath.
Origin-level?! What the hell is going on?! Could it be the big one the demon hunter mentioned would appear tonight?!
And at the next moment, Lynne abruptly felt an immense coldness spreading across his skin. Then he immediately saw the hand of the flesh monster that had stretched into the doorframe twitch slightly. Then, as if something forcefully yanked it outward, the decaying hand instantly withdrew.
Without a second word, Lynne severed the spirit hair strand hanging from the beam with a single slice.
Whoosh—
The cold, eerie fog began to permeate from the hole in the door panel.
Lynne held his breath. In the murkiness, he could hear a series of chewing sounds coming from outside. It was as though something was chewing on ribs.
Crunch, crunch.
That is to say, the Origin-level monster is now on the street outside, and this level of coldness is also his first encounter; the demon hunter indeed didn't lie to him, tonight outside is unusually restless.
Damn it! Could I really be this unlucky?! Did I really encounter it?!
And at this moment, from outside the door, a series of colossal trembling sounds came one after another.
Boom——
Boom——
It was as if something immense was slowly moving above the street. And it was getting closer and closer.
Closer and closer!
And in the next moment, just as the sound was a few meters away from the door of the small shop, the sound abruptly stopped.
Lynne immediately held his breath. Indistinctly, he saw a beam of light shot in through the gap smashed by the flesh monster.
Lynne was certain, that beam of light was the gaze of that unknown monster.
Lynne stayed still, like a sculpture pressed against the wall, and at this moment, on the door frame less than a meter away from him, at that hole.
A huge eye was peering inside through that small hole. Lynne could even hear his own heartbeat.
Slurp——
Slurp——
From the outside came the sound of licking the door panel.
[Sanity -1]
[Sanity -1]
Lynne stared, daring not to move. But for some reason, he found the slurping licking sounds unusually adorable.
But at this moment, Lynne suddenly saw a tentacle, like a blood-red tongue, slowly probe in through the small hole.
[Sanity -40!]
No! Take back what I just said! This has absolutely nothing to do with adorable!
Lynne (ΩДΩ) didn't dare to move an inch. Under his gaze, the blood-red tentacle licked every drop of blood on the inner side of the door panel. Then, as if not having enough, the tentacle slowly crept towards Lynne's direction.
Slurp——
Slurp——
Like a tongue, the tentacle left trace after trace of licking on Lynne's face. Lynne was dumbfounded, standing there, his whole body rigid. His Sanity was plummeting.
If it were him from two years ago, or any other human, they probably would have screamed and run away by now under these circumstances.
But after all, Lynne is no ordinary person. He knows very well that, under the current circumstances, as soon as he dares to run, or shows a bit of panic and fear, he would immediately be eaten by the monster outside the door.
But at this moment, a voice like a baby's suddenly came from outside the door.
"Doctor——found you——"
Lynne's heart thumped. And in the next moment, the voice came again.
"Open up——toothache——"
Lynne (꒪Д꒪)??
Eh……
Something's not right! Something's not right! Could it be that this monster outside the door is not here to eat him, but to seek medical attention?!
Lynne tried hard to calm himself down, and said with wide eyes: "But our little shop... doesn't accept customers at night..."
It's the rule of the shop. As the only apprentice of the master, adhering to the rules has always been his biggest strength! If it's said no customers at night, then absolutely no customers!
"No customers——eat you——"
"Here it comes."
Lynne swiftly took out his keys, unlocked them, and opened the door in one go.
"Bloodsaw Potion Shop sincerely at your service."
Lynne bowed deeply at ninety degrees.
"Our shop adheres to the excellent tradition of curing diseases with medicine and surgery. How may I assist you?"
Whoosh——
A surge of cold air instantly flooded in from the outside.
After seeing the full appearance of the monster outside the door, Lynne's heart raced, and his sanity value plummeted even more! What the hell is this monster?!
[Sanity -20]
[Sanity -20]
To be precise, it was a human head. A baby's head as tall as two stories. No torso. From where the neck should be, numerous red tentacles spread out densely, like snakes. Those huge eyes, like searchlights, were shooting out two bleak white lights. And in front of Lynne's eyes, its panel appeared instantly.
[???]
[Level: ???]
[Race: ???]
[Combat Ability: Run!]
[Introduction: If you hear a baby's laughter in the dark, if you see a pure gaze in despair, please do not respond, because that is not hope, it's the abyss...]
Lynne's mind (꒪Д꒪). But his face still forcibly maintained composure. Because he knows, if he dares to run now, he will be eaten without a doubt!
Stay calm! Must stay calm! Just treat it as an ordinary customer! You can do it, Lynne!
Creak——
That huge baby head slowly opened its mouth, and instantly, a wave of foul smell almost made Lynne pass out.
"Toothache——doctor——"
An incredible huge, bizarre baby's head, but the voice from its mouth was delicate like a child's. And those sharp teeth dripping with blood were eerie enough to make one lose all their Sanitys on the spot.
"If can't cure——will eat——"
[Lynne's Sanity -10]
Eh? This voice is surprisingly somewhat cute?
Lynne, eyes wide, felt the cold sweat drench his back. However, no matter what, since it came for a consultation, that means he is not in immediate danger of his life.
With his eye twitching, Lynne put on a mask, looking at the giant crimson mouth and the rows of sharp teeth covered in blood and flesh.
"Don't worry, it can definitely be cured; a toothache is just a small problem! May I ask which tooth is aching?" Lynne inquired, his eyes wide.
"Molar——"
The voice of the baby's head came.
Lynne looked into that gigantic mouth, but because it was too far inside and dimly lit, he couldn't see clearly at all.
Lynne gritted his teeth and made a bold decision.
"Please open your mouth wide, I will diagnose you right now."
"Ah——"
The baby head's mouth opened a bit wider.
[Ding! You triggered the task: Cure Toothache, Task Rewards: Special Reward x1, ???'s Favorability +50, Skull Coins +1000, Task Failure Penalty: None.]
Lynne: "!!!"
Of course none! Because I would definitely be gone, what else could it be other than none?!
Lynne took a deep breath to calm his mind. At this point, it really was like trying to save a dead horse as if it were alive.
Just be normal, be normal! Just treat it like an ordinary child! You can do it!
Lynne carefully climbed onto the mouth of the baby's head, jumped onto its tongue, braved the foul smell, and advanced toward the direction of the molar. The further inside he went, the more pungent the smell became.
"There's no light, I can't see!" Lynne shouted.
A horrifying scene occurred. A tentacle slowly stretched above the baby's head, and Lynne immediately saw the tentacle wrapping around one of the baby head's eyeballs, entering the gigantic mouth. Instantly, the pallid gaze illuminated the entire oral cavity.
Lynne was drenched in sweat.
"Now it's clear!"
He didn't dare to delay, turned his head, and his gaze went in the direction of its molar.
Vaguely, he could see various "food" residues stained all over the surrounding teeth, including severed hands, shattered skulls, viscera, and rotten flesh. It was undoubtedly a strikingly horrifying and terrifying scene.
Obviously, this monster has a very diverse diet.
[Sanity -1]
[Sanity -1]
Lynne, suppressing his profound shock, started to search carefully. And just the next moment, Lynne's gaze instantly fell on a spear embedded in the molar.
[Holy Spear (Damaged)]
[Quality: Legendary]
[Introduction: A spear that fell from an unknown world into the Dark World, containing holy blessings, has a strong restraining effect on evil spirits, the bizarre, and demons.]
A thought crossed Lynne's mind. It seemed that the reason causing this monster's toothache had been found. But he never expected this is actually a weapon from a non-dark world, with the same function as the demon hunter's handgun. And it also has a holy attribute, could it be causing severe pain to this monster due to this spear?
Lynne's expression was one of uncertainty. He cautiously approached to inspect it and then immediately saw that, at the front of the spear, there was actually a sticky severed hand attached to it.
Obviously, the user of this spear was eaten by this monster, the other parts of the body have been digested, but the weapon in the hand was stuck hard between this monster's teeth.
"Guest! I found the reason for the toothache!" Lynne shouted.
That delicate and horrifying voice came.
"Pull it out—If can't—eat—"
Lynne steadied his mind. Then his gaze instantly fell on the large number of severed limbs around that molar.
[Eye Demon Medic's Tentacle Fragment x1]
[Evil Spirit Witch Doctor's Arm x1]
[Purgatory Mad Doctor's Eyeball x1]
Lynne's heart raced incessantly. Clearly, he wasn't the first doctor this monster had sought out. Judging by the circumstances, this patient definitely had a considerable temper. When it said it would devour him, it surely would!
But Lynne soon discovered a commonality amongst those doctors; they were all creatures of the Dark World. And this spear apparently had a profound restraining effect on such creatures. Their inability to pull it out. But he was different. He was human. He would not be restrained by holy power. Perhaps this could be his greatest advantage.
Lynne composed himself, approaching the foul-smelling molar, and flexing his hands before gripping it tightly.
Hum—
The spear emitted a wisp of exceedingly dim light before rapidly fading away.
No backlash!
Just as he had speculated, Lynne steadied his spirit.
"I'm starting to pull it out!" Lynne shouted.
Then Lynne immediately mustered all his strength, his hands tightly clutching the spear, one foot braced against the molar, pulling forcefully outward. He exerted all his strength, for his very life depended on whether he could pull this spike out! If he could pull it out, all would be well! If he couldn't, he would end up in a mixed stew with his surrounding colleagues!
Crack—Crack—
"It's loosening—!"
The eyeball illuminating for Lynne also revealed a look of elation. Success seemed within reach.
Lynne pulled even harder on the spear (〃＞皿＜), but his strength was still inadequate; besides the faint loosening, attempting to pull it further became increasingly challenging.
"Lend a hand! Lend a hand!"
Lynne, clenching his teeth, shouted at the tentacles excitedly surrounding the mouth. A brief pause. The tentacles rushed in immediately, wrapping around Lynne's waist, one after another, and began to pull forcefully outward. But aside from nearly causing Lynne a cerebral hemorrhage, the progress of the spear was exceptionally slow.
Lynne became anxious.
"Stop for a moment! Everyone, listen to my command, I will shout 1, 2, 3, and then everyone pulls together, understand?"
"Under—stood—!"
Lynne took a deep breath. He gripped the spear tighter, his expression becoming grave.
"1!"
"2!"
"3!"
"Pull!"
Lynne roared. In an instant, Lynne and those tentacles (〃＞皿＜) pulled together forcefully.
"1, 2, 3! Pull!"
"1, 2, 3, Pull!"
Pfff—
With tremendous inertia, the spear, under the combined force of Lynne and numerous tentacles, was suddenly flung out of the mouth, falling heavily to the ground.
"We did it!" Lynne stared blankly at the spear. Does this mean… he would finally not die?
[??? Favorability for you +20]
"But—it still—hurts—"
The colossal head with the gaping mouth lowered an eyeball, its gaze enveloping Lynne as if under a spotlight.
Lynne peered inside, his eyes falling on the large hole left in the tooth from where the spear had been pulled. And at that moment, blood was spurting from the hole like a gushing fountain.
"Wait a moment!"
Without another word, Lynne flashed a slight smile, dashed back to the shop, rummaged through, and pulled out a large amount of anesthesia and hemostatic agents.
Now that the foreign object was removed, what followed was much simpler. If one could overlook this monster's horrifying appearance, it actually wasn't much different from his other clients.
Lynne rushed back.
"Bleeding is a normal reaction, but to fully recover, further treatment is needed! Keep your mouth open; don't move."
Having found the cause and extracted the pain-inducing culprit, the subsequent steps were much simpler. After all, this was his area of expertise.
Lynne, with a serious expression, quickly climbed back into its mouth, arriving above the bleeding molar. This time he was much more adept.
The hole, albeit only fist-sized, had evidently reached deep into the tooth roots. He hadn't observed closely before, but now it was clear that the tooth's interior had been invaded by holy power, even emanating a faint glow.
Clearly, it was the dispersed holy power that was incessantly inflicting pain on this monster. But the bleeding was too severe. Administering hemostatic and pain-relieving medicine into the tooth roots was exceedingly strenuous.
Lynne pondered. His gaze instantly fell on the eyeball that had followed him to assess the situation and the crimson tentacle beside it. Smooth and adorable in appearance.
Smack—
Lynne immediately pinched that tentacle.
"Guest, do you still need this tentacle? I need to use it to alleviate your pain!" Lynne shouted.
"Eh—"
Pfft—
Lynne chopped off that adorable tentacle with a single stroke.
Monster baby head: "(ΩДΩ)!!"
Simultaneously, a system prompt resonated beside Lynne's ear.
[Ding! You have slain the Flesh Deceiver x1, and you have earned 100 experience points.]
Hearing the system's prompt, Lynne finally relaxed.
That is to say, the monster just now indeed hadn't died thoroughly; it was only after he stabbed it over a hundred times that it finally breathed its last.
