Became the Only Healer in the Academy - Became the Only Healer in the Academy chapter 196

196

Inside the first-class door, nothing has changed from the old memories.

The top-level hunter who entered the door was the same as back then, so of course, the plan had not changed.

“I will tell you when the boss will appear, so until then, please move as you did last time.”

Following Lich’s instructions, everyone prepared for battle.

Again, the first thing that greeted them today was something huge.

“Padron.”

“Oh, I see.”

This time, the padron was also carefully handled with care so that the dirt would not splash around like the last time.

The remaining time until the first-class door boss appears is about 3 hours.

During these three hours or so, the top hunters hunted giants while saving their magic as much as possible.

“Kah ha ha! This one is hard to compare with the last time!”

If there was one thing that was different, it was the Padron.

After subjugating the mutated second-class gate, he felt that he had become quite strong, and he was slaughtering giants with excitement.

“…”

Rich, who was looking at it, tried to save his strength, but now Padron’s expression was not the expression of listening to anyone, but a sigh.

“This was the first time I participated in the subjugation, but at first glance, it seems to be using magic more efficiently than before.”

“Because everyone is the best hunter.”

As Seonghyun said, the top hunters had grown more than last time.

Padron was the most notable among them, but no one did not grow up.

Since the ability had already reached its limit, the absolute power itself did not increase dramatically, but it was seen that the amount of mana consumed when using an ability of the same power was reduced.

‘I don’t know how big the first-class door bosses are, but now these are similar to the ones I saw before the return.’

What Sunghyun has twisted so far.

From small to large, all of these had an impact.

I could feel it in other parts, but I started to realize that it was going well as planned, as I felt it from the top hunters who are actually responsible for the safety of mankind.

‘At this level… is it possible?’

The thought of whether it would be possible to subdue this gate perfectly just by themselves began to dominate my mind.

If that’s the case, there won’t be much of a threat unless the first-class doors are piled up in a pile.

“Soon… the time is running out.”

“Has three hours passed already?”

“yes. Exactly 10 seconds left.”

Richie, as well as other top-level hunters, knew this instinctively.

That’s because I’ve subjugated this door a lot.

Everyone defeated all the giants and gathered around the Lich.

“Seven seconds.”

Richie’s voice, announcing the time for the first-class door boss to appear, seemed to tremble quite a bit.

Lich was in a much stronger state than when he first faced the first-class door boss, but the shocking fear he received at that time was something that could not be washed away as if it had been imprinted on his soul.

“Three seconds.”

The remaining time until the boss appears is exactly 3 seconds.

On the corpses of giants lying in front of them, the top hunters representing mankind looked up to the sky with a determined expression.

same situation as back then.

They are different from back then.

When I first entered the gate, I couldn’t deal with the elite giants and met the boss of the first-class gate, but now I have enough room to deal with all the giants and manage my stamina appropriately.

And the biggest difference from back then.

The very existence of Sunghyun.

Everyone in this position heard and saw Sung-hyun’s ability to recover even the body that had been cut off, so they had no choice but to be full of confidence.

“coming.”

Now it’s time to face the first-class door boss.

As soon as Richie finished speaking, the sky began to turn black.

And as if ridiculing the insignificant confidence the top-level hunters had, the sky began to split, emitting an overwhelming amount of magical power.

No, it is a change that is more appropriate to say that it is torn rather than split.

The sky was helplessly torn apart by the beings coming from behind.

“That’s… the first-class inquiry boss…”

This first-class door is the space of giants.

The more giants they faced, the bigger the giants came, but the existence that appeared from the sky now was not a giant.

Without eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, the mannequin-like beast slowly descended from the sky, as if emphasizing that it was the coming of this world rather than revealing itself.

“…”

The Beast, who was alternately looking at the corpses of giants and the top hunters, reached out to the hunters.

“Wow, what magical power…!!”

He only stretched out his hand and operated the magic with that hand, but there was a limit to the flow of that magic that the human race could endure.

In front of the turbulent magical vortex, the lowest-ranking hunters in this place began to tear their skin.

“Is the first-class inquiry boss different?”

Richie immediately developed his magical powers to block the vortex as much as possible.

It was impossible to completely block it, but it was possible to lower the torn skin of other hunters to a degree.

And those wounds were nothing to Seonghyeon.

There was no need to raise their magic power, and there was no need to pay attention to them.

Just by standing here, my skin was torn and completely healed at the same time.

“Looking face-to-face like this, the amount of magical power is absurd. It doesn’t feel like there’s a lot of it, it’s almost as if that magical beast is the master of magic.”

“This magical barrier. You can take it.”

“…Would it be okay?”

It wasn’t an overkill for Richie, but of course it wasn’t a good thing that he had to constantly use his power in one place.

“it’s okay. The pain of tearing your skin a little is something everyone can laugh at, isn’t it?”

It wasn’t the other Hunters that Richie was worried about.

It was absurd for a top-level hunter to be able to endure that much pain, but Seonghyeon was worried that she had to bear all the pain that occurred while healing the wound.

“That’s not what I was worried about…”

“yes?”

“no. Then we will remove the magic barrier.”

Soon, the Lich’s magic barrier was lifted, and a powerful magic storm began to strike again.

Repeatedly being healed at the same time as the skin is torn.

What would have happened if Sunghyun wasn’t here?

The wounds that were torn little by little and the magical storms that kept crashing on them would gradually widen the wounds, and it was obvious that the moment they reached a certain level, they would inflict great pain.

In the first place, just the fact that he was in the same space as that boss created his own time constraint.

“I will go first.”

Padron didn’t take his gaze away from the boss for even a second.

The magical storm left a scar on Padron’s eyes, which did not blink, but he was holding on with Seonghyun’s aura and his own healing ability.

“Let’s watch the movement first.”

“no. You know that confronting yourself like this is beneficial to you. That beast.”

The boss seemed unwilling to move.

Just keep using the magic storm.

As Padron said, if this confrontation continued, it was of course the Hunter’s side that was at a disadvantage.

The wounds on the body could be easily healed by Sung-hyun, but the boss’ appearance, who created this situation just by reaching out his hand, was very suitable for inducing fear.

An area that cannot be eliminated even by Seonghyeon’s purification.

The fear that you instinctively feel is slowly building up even during these conversations.

“I don’t know anything about that boss’s abilities.”

Richie’s words made sense.

What if you are digging a trap and waiting?

If a variable happens to Padron, one of the biggest powers, and if that variable is an area that Seong-hyeon cannot solve, the end of this subjugation would be a bad ending.

“So I’m going to go first…”

The moment Padron turned his head to convince Richie, the boss who was reaching out from afar appeared in front of him in an instant.

“…”

I don’t know if he can’t speak or not, but the speed at which the boss disappeared and reappeared was not in the category of speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

He didn’t even feel like he was popular, so Padron didn’t immediately catch the boss appearing in front of him.

When the boss appeared, the air flow tickled Padron’s cheek, and only then did he realize that the boss was in front of his nose.

“Hey, hey…!”

From the moment the boss appears to the moment Padron grasps the boss’s location.

The gap in the padron that was created in that instantaneous moment.

Boss flew his hand to Padron’s side as if he was about to pull something out at that moment.

“Where is this garbage…”

Padron swung his right hand to the boss’s hand at the same time as he looked back at the boss.

He had a strong body, so it would hold up for a while, and he didn’t intend to allow a deeper attack.

‘About this kind of attack…’

However, there was one part where I was slightly misunderstood.

The boss’s hand coming in deeply towards his side was a little faster than expected, no, very quick.

“Wow!!”

Two fingers deep, the boss’s hand dug into Padron’s side, but he was still able to strike out the boss’s hand as Padron had originally intended.

However, the wound was ripped quite deeply from the side to the back as the hand was struck with the hand stuck in the side.

“Padron!”

The sudden movement of the boss, which was not expected at all, caught Richie’s presence a little, but he did not react.

The boss didn’t pay any attention to Padron, who paused for a moment in the pain of a torn flank.

It’s like they aren’t interested.

The boss’s gaze was directed to none other than Seonghyun.

Of course, because of the magic that Lich used, that gaze did not last long, but the boss was definitely looking at Seonghyeon.

Obviously, the boss didn’t have eyes, but it felt as if they made eye contact.

‘Did the boss even notice.’

The moment the boss disappeared, the boss was thinking of ending the hunter who showed the biggest gap for a short while among the hunters in front of him.

Humans are infinitely weak beings, but they knew better than anyone that they should never be vigilant.

Even the humans in front of me weren’t even that weak.

The moment when the human who shows the biggest gap blinks.

The boss moved as planned, but at that moment, he caught his gaze.

The one behind the strongest-looking human woman.

I thought it was an illusion, but it was never an illusion.

Those gazes were clearly looking at him, and he didn’t feel the slightest fear in them.

It was an unpleasant gaze, as if he was allowing himself to evaluate himself, as if he would let him try as much as he could because he would see how much he could do.

Padron, which showed the biggest gap, showed a fast reaction speed.

If he hadn’t hesitated a little at that human gaze, he could have dipped his hand deeper, but Padron showed an unexpected reaction.

It’s not about pulling your body back, it’s about throwing away the hand that digs into your side.

If it was a little slow and a little weak, it would have been the worst decision, but it turned out to be the best decision as a result.

“Padron! it’s okay?!”

“ね! This kind of…”

Although Padron’s body was healing itself, a wound of this size seemed to take quite a while, and Seong-hyeon stepped forward to heal Padron.

“I do not need.”

But Sunghyun had no intention of backing down either.

It’s good to enjoy battle, but in the current situation, it’s no different.

“You don’t need…”

“Shut up.”
