Episode 32

Episode 32

“Hunter Cha…”

“I don’t know either!”

Before I could even finish speaking, Cha Ye-rin answered.

Cha Ye-rin was preventing the Murdocks from sticking together.

-Crunch!

She was crushing the flesh chunks with her vibrating hammer.

However, around the considerable number of flesh chunks that had already gathered.

-Keeek!

-Keegeek!

Even the Murdocks began sticking to them.

“Damn it!”

I rushed out frantically and began killing the Murdocks.

-Stab!

-Staaab!

-Stabstab!

In the end, I’m killing them one by one with care.

With the breathing room from [Killing Time]’s effect,

-Kee… gee… geek…

After instantly killing all the remaining Murdocks.

I turned my gaze toward the clumped Murdock.

-Mur… do… ck…

Red flesh chunks wriggling and merging together.

‘…Wait.’

Something’s strange.

‘This is…’

-Fwashashashak!!!!!!!

The moment I realized it, all the flesh chunks merged together.

Dozens of teeth sprouted all at once from the giant mass of flesh.

I hastily retreated.

“Tae-pyeong, get back!”

Cha Ye-rin blocked my path.

-Fwaaaaaaak!!!

Blood gushing out tremendously!

After all that blood flowed down.

-Kyu?

-Kyu?

-Kyurek?

Rabbit heads emerging through the flesh.

This is more disgusting than the King of Plague?

“Are Murdocks originally this kind of mob?”

I asked in a dejected voice.

“No!”

Cha Ye-rin shouted as if bewildered.

“Yes. I wanted to confirm once more.”

Heh.

I readjusted my grip on the Elf’s sword.

And.

-Fwooook!!!

The moment I stabbed the sword in.

Something I could faintly feel.

Something completely opposite to what I possessed.

“…Now I understand.”

Even at this moment,

Rabbit heads kept sprouting.

Those rabbit heads peeled off again.

More teeth again,

More flesh again,

-Fwashashashak!

This sight of things bursting out endlessly,

Was definitely not a normal situation.

And.

“Phew…”

The one who created this abnormal situation was.

“Ujeongmin!”

“…Huk!!”

Startled, Ujeongmin’s fingers loosened.

Simultaneously, the rabbit heads that were popping out stopped.

“So, sorry! I’m sorry!!”

“Why are you lying?”

“Sor… Huh? I, I never did that…”

Ujeongmin panting with a pale complexion.

His hands that were forming seals were busy trembling.

“You’re not a curse mage.”

“Huh, huh? I, I, i, i am…”

“This isn’t a debuff.”

“Eh, ehhhh…?”

Confusion.

Even while looking at Ujeongmin’s face mixed with fear.

All I felt was just bewilderment.

“To those guys…”

-Splat!

-Splat!

“…Ra, rabbits!”

Ujeongmin backing away while pointing behind me.

I readjusted my grip on the slippery Elf’s sword,

And shouted toward Ujeongmin.

“What happens if you heal them!”

“So, sorry!!!!!”

Ujeongmin squeezing his eyes shut and screaming.

-Fwoooooook!!!

And me simultaneously stabbing my sword into the Murdock mass.

-Fwaaaaaaaaak!!!!

We were bathed in hot blood together.

“Uweeeeeeek!”

Whether Ujeongmin was retching or not.

I couldn’t afford to care.

-Stab!!

-Staaaaab!

-Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab!

I frantically stabbed Murdock like crazy.

Whether fortunately or unfortunately.

As Ujeongmin’s ‘heal’ was cut off,

-Keeek! Krrrggggeek!

Murdock could no longer regenerate,

and was torn to pieces just like that.

-Slash!

I chopped it up.

-Crunch!

Cha Ye-rin crushed it.

“Uwaaaaaaack!!!”

Ujeongmin vomited.

And so on the field.

Only pulp remained, not rabbits.

* * *

“It’s not a debuff?”

Yu In-seok’s surprised voice.

“Yes.”

I answered with confidence.

“Ujeongmin, you’re a healer.”

“B-b-b-but…”

The most surprised of all was Ujeongmin himself.

“You just didn’t know it yourself, but you’re definitely a healer.”

If not.

The abnormal recovery of the Murdocks.

And the life force I felt couldn’t be explained.

“What did you say your trait was?”

“Isn’t he a curse mage?”

Yu In-seok answers instead.

Curse mage.

A fairly common debuff trait.

But I waited for Ujeongmin’s answer.

“R-reverse life mage, actually…”

Reverse life mage.

“Reverse as in ‘go against,’ life as in ‘life.’ Right?”

At first glance, it looks similar to curse mage.

That’s probably why the Management Bureau classified him as a curse mage too.

But if you think about it a little more.

And if you look a little more closely.

It was completely opposite.

“Tell me about your skills in detail.”

Ujeongmin’s basic skill is [Reverse Life].

Just like my [Killing Talent],

Ujeongmin’s [Reverse Life] also had no particular explanation.

However.

Just by touching something, the opponent felt tremendous pain.

So he concluded it was a debuff ability.

The second thing he obtained was [Breath of Osiris].

Yes.

The Egyptian god of death, that very Osiris.

But what we need to focus on here is.

The fact that Osiris is also the god of ‘resurrection.’

The [Breath of Osiris] ability is,

Maximum 50% health loss of target followed by life force redistribution and random additional effect grant.

The damn rental scammers who first threw Ujeongmin into the Tower.

And made him do grunt work.

Only saw the ‘maximum 50% health loss of target’ part here.

The really important thing was the life force redistribution.

This was exactly the debuff area skill used on the Murdocks earlier.

“R-r-ratmen level at least…”

Ratman-level monsters probably couldn’t withstand the 50% health loss.

So until now,

He’d been fighting by hitting first with [Breath of Osiris],

Then finishing them off with basic attacks?

This seemed to work well at low levels…

If this map had also been zombies or skeleton-type monsters,

It might have worked well.

But.

Murdock withstood the 50% health loss.

This was possible because they were creatures that emerged by tearing through their mimetic forms in the first place.

When the Murdocks withstood the 50% health loss.

‘Life force redistribution’ activated.

Thanks to that, they were able to ‘merge’ beyond just recovering.

Plus continuous recovery on top of that.

That’s why the Murdocks didn’t die even after taking [Fatal Slash].

At first glance.

The 50% health decrease might feel severe.

But.

This can be easily solved with just a small trick.

“Try using it on me.”

“What?”

“I said try using it on me.”

“B-but!”

I let out a deep sigh.

“Jumin, I’ll be honest with you.”

“…”

“Let’s say you really are a curse mage.”

“…”

“Even then, the effect is so trash-tier it doesn’t matter to me at all.”

Did I say that too harshly?

Cha Ye-rin and Yu In-seok look at me with shocked faces.

But what can I do when it’s the truth?

Even if Ujeongmin’s debuff cuts my health by 50%.

If I get healed by Yu In-seok,

No, even if I just drink a potion.

Recovery is a piece of cake.

Since I know that, I’m going to try it too.

“Let’s hurry and try it before the next wave starts.”

“…Yes, hyung.”

Unlike Cha Ye-rin and Yu In-seok.

Rather, Ujeongmin, who had become calmer, extended his hand to me.

I grabbed that hand without hesitation.

“Urgh…”

Definitely, it’s painful.

Just holding hands.

I felt pain as if something huge was squeezing me.

This is a basic skill?

I immediately understand why those scammer bastards thought this guy was a curse mage.

Ujeongmin closed his eyes and started muttering something.

As green energy flowed in from his hand.

I could feel my health being drained in real time.

“Kuk…”

The pain became even more severe.

But then.

-Saaaah…

At some point,

suddenly I felt my dantian cooling down.

-Pop!

It felt like all the blood vessels in my body were being cleared.

Should I describe it as the feeling of injecting energy drinks directly into my bloodstream?

“Amazing…”

The feeling of invisible hands squeezing my entire body disappeared,

and recovery proceeded rapidly.

I didn’t need to receive healing from Yu In-seok,

nor did I need to drink potions.

My health filled up in an instant,

“This is insane.”

I’m overflowing with more energy than usual.

Honestly, I’m not usually the type with good stamina.

It wasn’t just recovery,

it felt like I was receiving a buff too.

“A-are you okay?”

Ujeongmin asked me with a tense face.

He was already soaked in sweat.

“Thanks to you.”

I handed Ujeongmin the potion I had taken out from my inventory beforehand.

It was originally for me to drink.

“I’m completely fine.”

Ujeongmin was surprised.

And Cha Ye-rin and Yu In-seok also looked surprised.

“Are you really okay, Tae-pyeong?”

“Was he really, really a healer?”

I silently nodded.

And with a grin,

“Now we don’t have to worry about healers, right?”

I picked up the Elf’s sword I had put down.

The third wave was about to start.

“We’ll need to get a detailed examination at the Management Bureau again.”

When I glanced over, my eyes met with Ujeongmin’s.

“Please take care of me from now on, Jumin.”

* * *

-Chwaaaaak!!!!

As I tore apart the last Murdock chunk,

[Clear!]

Along with the clear notification.

-Sparkle!

A reward box dropped.

‘How boring.’

This time they’re all silver boxes.

It’s probably because the strategy took quite a while.

The items that came out were also utterly ordinary potions.

But it’s fine.

I got something better than diamond boxes.

‘Healer, Ujeongmin.’

Even his basic skill is amazing.

An area heal that looks like a debuff but has additional effects.

This is a basic skill?

This is cheating.

It’s a cheat.

Kuk kuk kuk.

“Good work, Jumin.”

“Yes, hyung…”

Ujeongmin had a dazed expression.

He still doesn’t seem to grasp that he’s a healer,

or that he’s being praised in this situation.

It’s natural.

Until now, getting beaten to a pulp for only being able to do this much would have been his daily routine.

Well, he’ll gradually adapt.

“Aren’t you going to open the box?”

A silver box.

Even if it’s modest,

this will probably be the first item Ujeongmin will own.

“But hyung, then what happens to me now…”

However.

Ujeongmin hesitated and asked me without even opening the box.

“What do you mean?”

“Since I’m a healer now…”

“Yeah.”

“Am I getting fired…?”

Ujeongmin glanced at Yu In-seok.

Ah.

Does he think he’ll get fired because it’s an overlapping position?

“…”

True.

To Ujeongmin, the position of healer probably doesn’t feel very appealing.

Back when he was caught by scammers and forced to conquer the Tower,

he must have thought he could only survive if he had offensive skills.

But now, the story is different.

Conquering, treasure chests, none of that matters.

I already,

had no other thought than to raise Ujeongmin as my personal healer.

Before the Management Bureau reassigns Ujeongmin.

If I quietly snatch him up…

‘Jackpot.’

I grinned and put my arm around Ujeongmin’s shoulder.

“Jumin.”

“Yes…”

A lifeless voice.

It’s exactly like looking at my childhood self.

The difference between us is.

I don’t have parents who should be there.

He has parents who shouldn’t be there.

“Straighten your shoulders.”

“…”

“From now on, you.”

“…”

“I’m going to raise you.”

Ujeongmin looks at me with a surprised face.

That’s right, kid.

From now on, you’re my personal healer!
