30 Years After Reincarnating, It Turns Out This World Was A Rofan?! novel Chapter 96

...Defeat.

An utter, indisputable loss without any room for excuses.

“That old man... he’s ridiculously strong.” “...Haha.”

Derek let out a hollow laugh, looking at the person lying battered in bed.

Just yesterday, he had been completely fine, yet now he lay there, bruised and beaten. Derek had removed the bandages he had hastily wrapped around him, shocked to see the extent of his injuries. He had sewn up countless torn patches of flesh.

...And, for the record, it was he himself who had stitched him up. His “Suturing” skill proved extremely useful.

“Thanks for treating me.” “...The hard work was probably done by you, Instructor, stitching your wounds without anesthesia. Even Guan Yu didn’t go this far.” “Well, I didn’t scrape down to the bone like him, did I?” “To be honest, Instructor, I think you’re in a worse state overall.”

Sigh!

Derek wanted to use an anesthetic, but the man’s [Poison Resistance] trait made it ineffective. Most anesthetics in this world had toxic elements, so Derek had no choice but to proceed without it, stitching live flesh, his hands trembling with each move. Still, he was amazed.

“Not a single sound of pain... incredible.”

Throughout nearly seven hours of surgery, the man endured in silence.

“He’s not just strong... he’s truly resilient.”

For Derek, this wasn’t merely about physical strength. There was something undeniably strong about his character.
