CH 68

‘I’m not even a dentist.’

Otto was taken aback by the dragon’s request.

But how is life easy to begin with?

-It’s easy to die, but It’s hard to live.

Yes, Life is truly quite difficult.

Death, no way

Otto did not want to die, so he accepted the dragon’s offer.

“Oohhh”

Up close, the dragon’s molars were severely decayed, and the roots were so inflamed that the gums were already swollen.

The stench was also bad, so it was clear that the tooth decay was very severe.

‘This must have been quite painful?’

Otto was not a dentist, but he was a man with a minimum of common sense.

He nodded his head after seeing how painful it must have been for the dragon due to this decayed tooth.

It seemed that an animal bone was lodged between the gums and molars which caused the inflammation and resulted in a cavity to set.

“I have to pull out the bone stuck between the gums first, right?”

-Do it.

“It’ll probably hurt, are you okay with it?”

-I’ll try to be patient.

“Then I’ll take it out now.”

-Okay

“Let’s see”

What kind of animal bones are these?

Otto cradled the bone, which was almost that of a pillar in size, in his arms and gave it all his strength in pulling it out.

*Suwook!*

The bone was then pulled out, and a great amount of pus and blood gushed out.

and….

“Roooooooaaaaaaaarrrr-!!”

The dragon screamed in pain.

“Aaagggghhhh!”

Otto screamed too

*Woooossshh*

Flames shot from the inside of the dragon’s throat and passed Otto

and that wasn’t all.

‘Ughhh’

The scream that erupted from the dragon’s vocal chords became a powerful sound wave that hit Otto.

As a result,

[Notice: Durability of the Helmet has reached 0]

[Notice: Helmet Destroyed]

[Notice: Durability of the Gloves has reached 0]

[Notice: Gloves Destroyed]

The durability of all the items he was wearing became 0 and crumbled.

*Drip- drip*

Blood flowed out of his ears.

‘Fckin shitty life’

He got goosebumps when he realized he was close to die.

To be able to inflict such damage by simply screaming.

“Oh, Old Dragon!:

Otto hurriedly shouted.

“I almost died! Why did you suddenly shoot out a flame breath and screamed a sound wave attack!”

-Uhm.. It hurt so much that I couldn’t help but scream out in pain..

“You have to be patient. I can still stand you screaming, but if you breath fire again, I will be burn to death.”

-Mmm.. I’m sorry

“Even if it hurts, please bear with it… please”

-I get it

“Then I’ll continue”

-Don’t worry

“Okay, Will start now Old Dragon”

Otto made a promise to the dragon, and took out the animal bone he had pulled out from between its gums and threw it out from the dragon’s mouth.

Then he said to Camille who was waiting outside.

“Go and scrape up all the potions we have.”

“What are you going to do with it?”

“Can’t you see? Am doing a dental treatment! Dental procedure!”

“Did you decided to became an alligator bird?”

Camille was dumbfounded by Otto’s words.

Healing the tooth of a legendary creature known to be extinct.

“Bring some numbing herbs, potions or painkillers! Collect everything we have! Because the more the better, If you have something like a clean cloth or cotton, bring it also! Bring a strong alcoholic drink, If you can get a disinfectant, even better!”

“All right.”

Camille first obeyed Otto’s order.

Now that the unprecedented situation in history had been resolved in treating a dragon’s tooth problem, they had no choice but to trust in Otto’s words.

* * *

There was not much Otto, an ordinary man without medical knowledge could do.

If Otto, who isn’t even a dentist, how advanced can his knowledge be in curing a tooth decay?

‘Ah, I don’t know. I just need to roughly pull it out, clean it, and close the wound.’

Otto did his best to cure the dragon’s cavity with a feeling of doing his best in his own way.

If it were to happen back in his past life, it would have been a dental procedure that would be violating the medical laws, but this is not on Earth, but rather inside the world of a game.

Even if he doesn’t have a license, no one will catch him due to malpractice.

“I.. Old Dragon, Do you think the molars are so badly rotten that it need to be pulled out?”

-Let me see, will you take it out?

“Yes, It shakes even with the slightest touch..”

-Argh, Stop

As Otto touched his rotten fang, the dragon screamed again.

The cavity was so bad that even the slightest touch made excruciating pain for the dragon.

“Please, be patient! Less I die and can’t help you”

-Oh, I see. Stop because it hurts so much.. okay

“I’ll pull it out and then apply potions and disinfect it, then you won’t get sick.. maybe?”

-That, do that

Otto pulled out the dragon molars when the dragon gave him permission.

However, pulling out the dragon’s rotten tooth wasn’t as easy as he thought.

No matter how shaken it was, the molars were still firmly embedded in the gums, and it was impossible to completely extract it with moderate force.

So Otto asked the dwarves for help.

After about 30 minutes.

“At the count of three, We’ll all pull alright? Does everyone get it?”

Otto shouted at the dwarves who grabbed the rope.

“One…Two…Three!”

Then dozens of dwarves pulled the rope at once.

-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooo!!!!!

The dragon screamed in agony as the dwarves yanked the ropes hanging from its rotten fang.

Thanks to this, Otto almost died again.

*Kwajik!*

The dragon closed its mouth while Otto was still inside and nearly got split into two.

‘What kind of dragon asking for help is this!! Being singed from his breath attack, having one’s ears damaged due to the sound waves of the screaming dragon and now almost being eaten in half!!’

Otto didn’t have the courage to speak openly to the dragon, so he screamed inwardly.

Anyways, the results were quite good.

*Suwook*

The rotten molar fall out

*gurgling*

Red blood mixed with yellow pus gushed out.

“It’s done! Only a few more things need to do, just be stay still and be patient”

-OHH! I see, okay!

Otto scooped the blood and pus from under the dragon’s tongue with a bucket.

After that, the area where the rotten molar was missing was sterilized with potions and disinfectant and was sewn closed.

“Old Dragon, It’s finally done”

Drenched in his own sweat and the dragon’s blood and pus, Otto looked up at the dragon and said.

“How are you feeling now?”

-MMmm!! It hurts a bit, but the toothache is definitely gone!

“Is that so?”

-Thanks to you, the toothache which I’ve endured for the past 200 years is completely gone!

“If you can endure the pain for a few days, the throbbing pain will soon go away, maybe?”

Otto was not a dentist, so the outcome of this treatment could not be predicted 100%

So he wasn’t sure about the outcome.

But for now, this was for the best.

He doesn’t have the ability to remove and fill cavities like a dentist, do root treatment, or put in implants so he had no choice but to stitch up the area instead after extracting the tooth.

-Hhmmmm, Thanks to you, I have finally been freed from this pain. I’ll forgive you for waking me up 

“Okay, Thanks”

-I will give you a prize for your help

“Y-yes??”

-In return for helping me, you can have my blood and tooth

“H-huh..”

-I don’t need it anyway, so I’ll give it to you as a prize.

Right then.

“OOOoooooooo!””

“Ahh!”

The dwarves started flocking like crazy

* * *

When the dragon gave Otto his blood and the rotten fang, the dwarves went completely mad.

“D-dragon fang!”

“Wooaaah!”

Edham and Erickson clung to the half-rotten molar as if they were delirious.

That was a very natural reaction.

The body part of a dragon was known to be a very expensive commodity, nothing to throw away.

Blood was the best material in alchemy, bones, fangs, leather and claws were known to be the best materials for making weapons and armor.

Meat was said to be the elixir of immortality, and eyes were known to be the best material for making magic items.

And the heart.. As the focal point of mana, it was said to be an item containing more highly concentrated mana than any other material in the world.

If he had to compare it, it would be likened to a bioreactor.

Of course, the story of making something using a dragon’s body was over 1,000 years old, so the procedure of it wasn’t clear.

However, in ancient documents, how to utilize the dragon’s body was recorded, so it was not an unreliable story at all.

In the case of items that were famous on the continent right now, it was known that they were made using parts of the dragon’s body.

So it was natural for the dwarves to run amok.

Making something out of a dragon’s body part was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

‘Guess they truly are the stereotype of dwarves‘

Otto shook his head as he looked at the maddenned dwarves, then bowed down to the dragon again to show his thanks.

“Thank you for your gift.”

-Heheheh, It isn’t much no need to bow

“No, I have committed a great rudeness, but you have shown me mercy and even gave me a gift in return. So I don’t know how to show my appreciation.”

-No, It has been 200 years since the Wyvern bone got stuck in my gums. I was forced to fall asleep because I was in so much pain, but thanks to you, I was freed from it. Thank you very much

“I see, It was nothing. I am glad I can relieve you from your pain!”

-However…

“Y-yes?”

-Who are you?

“Ahh, Yes.. I am…”

When Otto is about to introduce himself to the dragon’s question.

-How dare you wake me up.

“H-huh?”

-Do you think you’ll be okay after what you’ve done?

“No, why are you suddenly doing that when you just gave me a gift as a thank you?”

Otto was greatly taken aback by the dragon’s sudden change of attitude.

-What are you talking about! Why would I, a great dragon, say thank you to an insignificant human!

“…..?”

-You bastard 

at that time.

*Knock! knock! knock!*

The dragon stopped talking and rolled its eyes with a stupid expression.

‘Why is he suddenly…?’

Otto tilted his head.

-blanket..

The dragon voices out in Otto’s mind.

-where

“… ?”

-Dad?

“W-wha- I beg your pardon?”

-Daddy!

The dragon thrust its huge head at Otto.

“Ahhh!”

Otto screamed and threw himself away.

It was because he didn’t know if he did something wrong, he might be crushed to death by the dragon’s head.

-Dad!

“No, why are you doing this to me…”

Otto was so embarrassed that he was at the point of crying.

“Why am I suddenly your father?”

-Where have you been, Dad? huh? Me, baby dragon. I’m getting lonely while waiting for you dad. Mmm

“H-hey!”

-yeah

“Please don’t do this. I’m scared”

Right then

“I guess this…”

Kairos voiced out and offered his opinion.

“Isn’t it dementia?”

“Hisss.. Dementia?!”

“He doesn’t remember what happened a while ago. Besides, seeing him pampering you like a baby, it can’t be explained other than dementia.”

“Ahh”

Kairos’ opinion was quite reasonable.

‘Yes, When one has dementia, your memory deteriorates. He said earlier he doesn’t know me or where this is? Then he suddenly acted like a baby. If it gets worse, he’ll even poop on the spot.’

Right at that moment.

-Uhhh

The dragon suddenly crouched down and began to exert force.

“…..”

Otto’s face turned black.

The next moment.

“Ahh, stop!”

An urgent scream escaped Otto’s mouth.

It was said to never think of matters worse, because it was a situation where it would possibly happen.
