Lynn stared with wide eyes, the cold sweat on his back soaking through his clothes.

But no matter what, since it had come for a check-up, it meant that he wasn’t in immediate danger.

Lynn’s eyelid twitched uncontrollably as he put on his mask, his gaze fixed on the gaping, blood-soaked maw, lined with rows of sharp, flesh-streaked teeth.

“Don’t worry, we can definitely treat this! A toothache is a very minor issue!”

“Which tooth hurts?” Lynn asked, his voice calm despite the growing tension.

“The back molar,” came the response from the baby’s head.

Lynn glanced into the enormous, bloodstained mouth, but the darkness inside made it impossible to see clearly.

He gritted his teeth, making a bold decision.

“Open your mouth wider. I’ll diagnose you now.”

“Ah—”

The baby head opened its mouth slightly wider.

【Ding! You have triggered the quest: Treat the toothache. Quest reward: Special Reward x1, ???’s favor +50, Skull Coins +1000. Quest failure penalty: None.】

Lynn: "!!!"

Of course, there’s no penalty!

Because I’m definitely the one who’s going to be finished here. What else would happen besides that?

Taking a deep breath, Lynn calmed himself.

At times like this, the only choice was to take a dead horse for a live one.

Stay calm, stay calm!

Just treat it like an ordinary child! You can do this!

Lynn carefully climbed up to the baby’s mouth and jumped onto its tongue, enduring the foul stench as he headed toward the back molar.

The further he went in, the worse the stench became.

“There’s no light, I can’t see!” Lynn shouted.

A horrifying scene unfolded.

A tentacle slowly reached out from above the baby’s head, and Lynn immediately saw that it was wrapping around one of the baby’s eyeballs before pushing into the massive mouth.

Immediately, the pale eye illuminated the entire mouth.

Lynn was drenched in sweat.

“Now I can see!” he shouted.

Without hesitation, he turned his head and focused on the back molar.

He could vaguely make out the teeth, all of which were covered in remnants of various "foods": severed hands, broken skulls, intestines, and rotten flesh—a truly grotesque and terrifying sight.

Clearly, the monster’s diet was extremely varied.

Lynn forced himself to stay focused as he searched carefully.

The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.

In the next moment, his eyes landed on a long spear that was lodged in the back molar.

【Holy Spear (Damaged)】

【Quality: Legendary】

【Description】: A spear from an unknown world that fell into the dark world. It carries a divine blessing, strongly suppressing evil spirits, strange creatures, and demons.

Lynn’s heart skipped a beat.

It seemed that he had found the cause of this monster’s toothache.

But he never expected this to be a non-dark world weapon, similar to the hunter’s pistol.

And it was holy in nature—was this spear causing intense pain to the monster?

Lynn’s expression was uncertain.

He approached cautiously and saw that there was a slimy severed hand stuck to the front of the spear.

Clearly, the previous wielder of this spear had been eaten by this monster, their body digested, but the weapon remained lodged in its teeth.

“Customer! I found the cause of your toothache!” Lynn shouted.

The eerie, chilling voice responded.

“Pull it out... can't pull it out... eat you...”

Lynn steadied himself and looked around at the severed limbs and arms surrounding the back molar.

【Eye Demon Healer's Tentacle Fragment x1】

【Evil Spirit Witch Doctor’s Arm x1】

【Purgatory Mad Doctor’s Eye x1】

Lynn’s heart pounded heavily.

Clearly, this wasn’t the first doctor this monster had eaten.

It must have visited many others before, and judging by the situation, this patient’s temper was no small matter.

If it said it would eat you, it would definitely eat you!

But Lynn quickly noticed a common trait among the doctors—it seemed they were all dark world monsters.

This spear clearly had a high resistance to dark world creatures.

They couldn’t pull it out because of that.

But Lynn was different.

He was human, unaffected by divine power.

Perhaps this would be a huge advantage.

Lynn calmed himself, approached the foul back molar, and flexed his hands before gripping the spear tightly.

Buzz—

The spear emitted a faint, dim light before quickly fading away.

No backlash!

As expected.

Lynn steadied himself.

“I’m pulling it out now!” Lynn shouted.

With all his strength, he grabbed the spear with both hands, his foot bracing against the molar as he pulled with all his might.

He put everything into it because his life depended on whether he could remove this spear!

If it came out, everything would be fine!

If not, he and his colleagues would end up in a horrific stew!

Crack—crack—

“It’s loose!”

The eye that had been illuminating the mouth showed a gleam of excitement.

Seeing that success was close, Lynn pulled harder on the spear (〃＞皿＜), but his strength wasn’t enough. It only moved slightly, making it harder to pull out.

“Someone, help! Help me!” Lynn gritted his teeth and shouted at the tentacles eagerly watching outside the mouth.

After a brief pause, the tentacles rushed in and wrapped around Lynn’s waist, one by one, pulling together.

But instead of helping, they almost strangled him to the point of brain hemorrhage, and the spear barely budged.

Lynn grew desperate.

“Stop! Listen to me! I’ll count to three, and on three, we all pull together, okay?”

“Okay—!”

Lynn took a deep breath.

Grabbing the spear tightly, he wore a serious expression.

“1!”

“2!”

“3!”

“Pull!”

Lynn shouted.

Instantly, Lynn and the tentacles (〃＞皿＜) pulled together.

“123! Pull!”

“Heave-ho!”

“123, pull!”

Pop—

With a huge amount of inertia, the spear was finally yanked out of the mouth, landing heavily on the floor.

“We did it!” Lynn stared blankly at the spear.

So that means I don’t have to die now?

【???’s favor +20】

“But—it still—hurts—”

The huge head lowered one of its eyes, and its gaze enveloped Lynn like a searchlight.

Lynn glanced inside and saw the massive hole left by the spear, now gushing blood like a fountain.

“Wait a moment!”

Without hesitation, Lynn smiled and sprinted back to the shop, rummaging through boxes until he found several vials of anesthetics and hemostatic agents.

Now that the foreign object was removed, the rest should be much easier.

Ignoring the monster’s horrific appearance, it wasn’t all that different from his other customers.

He ran back.

“Gushing blood is a normal reaction, but to fully recover, further treatment is needed!”

“Keep your mouth open, don’t move.”

Now that the cause was found and the painful spear was removed, the rest of the process should be simple.

After all, this was his area of expertise.

Lynn’s expression turned serious as he swiftly climbed back into the mouth, heading toward the gushing back molar.

This time, he was much more skilled.

The hole, though only about the size of a fist, had clearly reached the root of the tooth. Upon closer inspection, he could see that the interior of the tooth was tainted by divine power, faintly glowing.

Clearly, the divine energy was continuously inflicting pain on this monster.

But the blood flow was too intense.

Trying to stop the bleeding and alleviate the pain was proving to be very difficult.

Lynn thought for a moment.

His gaze immediately landed on the eye that had followed him in, along with a blood-red tentacle nearby.

Smooth, slippery, and—quite cute, actually.

With a snap—

Lynn grabbed the tentacle.

“Customer, do you need this tentacle? I need it to relieve your pain!”

Lynn shouted.

“Eh—”

Pop—

With a swift motion, Lynn severed the cute tentacle with his knife.

The baby head: “(ΩДΩ)!!”
