How to get Healed at Demon Farm

Due to the crack that suddenly appeared, the surrounding area quickly started to turn into chaos.

“Aww! It's a monster! Run away!" 

"Why the crack?!" 

Seo Yerin quickly grasped the situation as she was taught. 

‘Already…….. monsters are starting to pop out of the cracks. I have to limit people’s movements!’

She pulled out her necklace from her neck and lifted it. 

And at the end of it, she wrapped the jewel that gave off a dazzling light.

< Contractor of the soul…>

< Appear here at my call.>

As soon as the summoning spell is finished, the huge sized Summons appeared.

Sharp rocks were densely protruding from the back of the summoned creature, and the thick leather that covered its body looked like it was equipped with armor.

Sharp claws flashed on both front paws. 

At the moment when people were bewildered by the appearance of another monster. 

Seo Yerin shouted to the people around her.

“This is my summon. I will stop the monsters coming from the rift, so everyone in the general public, please avoid inside the building!"

“Awakened! There is a Awakener!”

“Wow!”

"If you hold on for a while, the suppression team will arrive. Don't force yourself to move, and hide as quietly as possible."

Judging that it is difficult to control this many people around. 

She encouraged people to hide closer than to evacuate.

Since the size of the crack is not large, her plan is to block it alone until the suppression team arrives.

It was a reasonable and correct decision.

“You two, hurry up and hide. I'll be in take care of it here."

“ Yerin……”

"Don't worry, aunty. This level of crack is not that dangerous. You, hurry up and hide with your mother."

"All right. thank you."

The man next door took his mother to escape into a nearby building.

In an instant, even the shadow of a person could not be found on the crowded street.

It was then that Seo Yerin began to focus on the monsters protruding from the cracks.

– Tuktuktututuuck!

‘Small grub. The number is about 20.’

She naturally grasped the types and numbers of monsters.

In a normal battle, she would have carefully looked at her opponent, but now she has to protect many people.

She decided to move a little more daringly. 

Grasping the jewels in her necklace, she gave orders to the summon.

< Charge > 

– Croooooooocrooook! 

The summoned beast made a short cry and charged towards the enemy. 

A heavy paw attack struck the swarm of insects.

Bang

BAM

Creeeee

Four or five of them exploded at once. 

The remaining Worms tried to counterattack, but they could not inflict a heavy blow to the summon's thick skin.

Realizing that they are not opponents to the summon, they changed her attack target toward Yerin.

Familiar with this kind of situation, she, keeping her distance appropriately, intercepted the enemy with magic.

<Rise up, the sharp spear of the earth!>

-puck!

Creeech

A rock that rose sharply pierced a worm.

As the number of companions gradually decreased, the Worms hesitated and spread their distance.

– Tzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! 

– Tzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

The Worms exchanged eerie cries as a group, and then suddenly started digging into the ground with their forelimbs.

"this….."

Seo Yerin noticed the Worms' plot and quickly attacked with the summon.

However, only a few were killed, and nearly ten insects disappeared into the ground.

– Duddududududdu!

– Duddududududud!

A vibrating sound rang out from the movement of Worms in the ground.

‘This is not good…….'

If they fight head-on, it's not a big deal, but when they started hiding like this, they can be attacked in many ways.

In particular, her earth magic and her summons were slow because of the shortcomings.

If she use the wide range attack magic, she can attack the enemies hidden around her at once, but the use was limited because there were common people hiding nearby.

A situation in which she has to choose between her own safety and the safety of those around her.

Her troubles did not last long. 

‘I can’t use wide range attack magic, so I have to be the bait until the suppression team arrives!’ 

Seo Yerin puts the safety of the people around her first without any hesitation.

For the role of bait, she prepared for the enemy's attack by being as defensive as possible.

– Deedededeedededee…

Boooooouk! 

Insects hiding under the ground popped out and rushed in. 

She placed her hand on her necklace and moved her summon to block the attack.

However, the enemy's attacks continued unabated. 

The situation was urgent that she has to block without even being able to properly counterattack.

‘little bit more.'

Deededdeeeeee…

Boobobobo-wook! 

Creeeeecre !

She stopped the enemy's offensive with her superhuman concentration, but in the end she completely missed the movement of a single Worm.

Seo Yerin's back is exposed defencelessly in front of the insect monster that appeared from behind.

Although she belatedly noticed the presence of a Worm.

The worm was already on the verge of running for an attack.

‘ Damn it.’

Time is too short to cast the magic.

Even if she give a command to a summon, it cannot defend her due to it’s unique slow reaction speed.

“Ahhhhhh……."

She made a short cry in the shock and thinking about the pain the that is about to come, she tightly closed her eyes.

At that time. Someone's cry was heard.

"Block the back!"

– Creeek!

Her summoned beast moved it’s body in response to the call.

It was a much faster reaction compared to when their contractor, Seo Yerin, gave the order

BOOM

The Worm exploded without being able to attack properly due to a quick counterattack.

Thanks to this, Seo Yerin survived without any injuries.

But instead, her expression was not the one showing relief, her face was filled with astonishment that she couldn't believe it.

“What the hell… how…”

"Are you okay?"

“……?”

Lim Sihyeon, the owner of the voice that moved her summons, stood in front of Seo Yerin. 

⏪⏪⏪⏪⏪⏪

Following the woman's advice, I took mother and evacuated into the nearest store.

There were quite a few people who had already run away inside the store.

After giving a brief thank you to the shopkeeper, I took mother to a corner seat.

When I checked the phone, there was no signal due to the crack.

Instead, I checked the time and predicted the arrival time of the suppression team.

“Si. Is the girl next door okay?”

“She looked like she had combat experience, so probably she'll be fine.” 

A monster's scream was heard outside the store.

It seemed that the battle had begun in earnest. 

Some fearless people stood by the shop windows and watched the battle.

"Oh! Fight!"

“The Awaken people fight like that. It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it.”

She's fighting for us. 

My expression frowned upon looking at the people who were watching it as an interesting spectacle.

Mother and some other people had worried expressions

After a while, the atmosphere of the people watching out the window changed.

"Huh? huh? It looks dangerous.”

“Isn’t she weak? Isn't that a losing pattern?"

The people who were on the lookout seemed to feel danger and slowly retreated from the window.

Thanks to that I was able to see her fighting through the window.

She seemed to be struggling because she could not figure out the location of the Worm monsters hiding in the ground.

“Isn't someone supposed to help?”

“How can ordinary people like us help?”

“……”

As the atmosphere inside the store became chaotic, my eyes fluttered with hesitation.

I felt the movement of an underground Worm.

Even though I am far away, the situation was so powerful that I could sense it.

Maybe I could help the lady next door who is fighting alone.

Is it because of the influence of the Demon Farm? 

I thought of doing a thing, which I would normally never think of doing.

“Mom, hold my bag for a moment.

“What are you doing Si.?”

“I thought I could help. I think I should go.”

“Si…”

My mother grabbed my arm and looked at me with worried eyes. 

She didn't say I should not go.

“It’s okay mom. Believe in me.”

“……”

“I’ll be right back.” 

Her hand that had been holding my arm slipped away.

I headed straight for the store entrance. 

People behind me shouted something, but I ignored it and started running.

As I got closer to the place where the battle was taking place, the movement of the Worms felt more clearly.

It was a situation where the summoned beast  stood beside the lady and protected her from the Worms below the ground.

The lady is barely stopping the attack.

I saw a Worm burrowing out of the ground.

The situation seemed to be dangerous!

At this rate, it seemed that she would be greatly injured by the Worm.

I thought it was too late to warn, then I saw a Worm that had already crouched and prepared to attack.

Her large summon caught my eye. 

It was not my first time seeing a summon in person, and I already knew that the summons obeyed only the orders of the contractor.

I just screamed at the summon without thinking much.

"Block the back!”

[Earth Soul Fragment takes effect on the target.]

-Creeeek! 

At the sound of my cry, the summoned beast's eyes flashed, and the Worm attacking from behind was blown away in an instant.

BAM

The Worm exploded without being able to attack properly due to the quick counterattack.

Looking back, the lady's expression turned into astonishment.

“What the hell……how……”

"Are you okay?"

“……?”

“The situation is urgent, so I will keep it short. I'll tell you the location of the Worm, so you attack."

“How can you……. my summon……”

"coming! 2 o'clock!”

“Ugh!”

Dissatisfaction appeared on the lady's face for a while as her words were interrupted, but she quickly returned to a serious face at the attack of the Worms that followed.

“Watch your back!” 

< Rise up, the sharp spear of the earth! > 

I continued to inform the location of the Worms, and the woman continued the appropriate defence and attack accordingly.

Not long after I joined, the area became filled with the corpses of Worm monsters.

“Hah.… It's over… isn't it?"

There was no more threatening energy around.

"Yes. I don’t feel it anymore.”

The lady next door gave a slightly relieved expression.

She took a few rough breaths and greeted me.

“Thank you so much for your help,” she said. 

“I was struggling a lot more than I expected.”

“Thank god. I was worried that I might have intervened for nothing.”

"If you hadn't helped me, I would have been seriously hurt."

She acknowledged her own shortcomings and once again expressed her gratitude to me.

I felt embarrassed and smiled awkwardly.

“But how did you do that earlier?”

“pardon..?”

“You gave my summon a order. Right?”

"Ah. that …."

In an urgent moment, I unknowingly moved her summoned beast.

It happened so suddenly, and I still have no idea how that was possible.

I had an ambiguous expression on my face and blurted out the end of my words. 

The moment the lady next door is about to say something again with a tenacious look.

“Please someone help! Someone please!”

Someone's desperate cry was heard. 

And when I heard that sound, my face hardened in an instant. familiar voice.

It was the voice of Aunt who broke up with us in front of the cafe.
