Chapter 217
217: The Chaotic Party (3)
* * *
Hezway had experience forming hunting parties with other races, so she felt quite confident about this venture—until everyone actually arrived.
The moment they gathered, she witnessed the Fallen Leaf Party being suppressed instantly and driven into the ground, and seeing Dohyun casually interrogate Jerome, the leader of the Fallen Leaf Party, as if conducting an interrogation, her mind went completely blank.
She had known Dohyun was strong, but she hadn’t realized he was this aggressive. In fact, she knew that Terra and Weasel had been the ones to provoke Dohyun first, not the other way around, but she never imagined something like this would happen.
That’s why she couldn’t bring herself to respond to what Vera had said.
Looking purely at combat strength, they had enough chance of victory to even consider fighting Davy Jones, but the real concern was whether the teamwork could actually come together.
“Phew. First, I’m Hezeway Paraksarl, who will be commanding this attack party.”
While Hezway spoke casually in private settings, in this official gathering she naturally used formal speech and surveyed everyone present.
Seeing that everyone was at least paying attention to her words gave her hope that she shouldn’t be too pessimistic about teamwork, so she proceeded with the introductions.
“Since we may not know much about each other’s teams, we’ll have each party introduce themselves. Starting with mine—I’m the party leader and serve as rear support and healer, followed by Weasel our tank and Terra our ranged dealer.”
As Hezway introduced her teammates, Weasel and Terra stood up and bowed respectfully when their names were called.
Then, moving clockwise, Hezway gestured toward Ines’s party, and Ines stood to introduce her members.
“I’m Ines Crom, the party leader. I serve as a close-range dealer while also handling tanking duties. Next is our main tank Huber Rajuli, healer Hawen Rapiz, ranged dealer Chaven Topaz, and finally our ranged support Vera Argent.”
“We appreciate your cooperation.”
“We’ll do our best to assist.”
“Let’s make sure we capture it.”
“U-um, y-yes, I’ll do my best!”
Following Ines’s introduction as both party leader and captain, the other party members stood and offered their greetings. Vera, the last to speak, seemed nervous and stumbled over her words, yet most of the attack party’s attention was drawn to her.
After all, aside from Ines, Vera was the most outstanding member of the Celestial Party.
Once the Celestial Party finished, Jerome, the leader of the Fallen Leaf Party sitting beside them, stood up. Though she had expected unfavorable looks given that he was an Elf, both Hezway’s and Ines’s parties regarded him with somewhat pitying expressions.
This was understandable—he hadn’t fully healed his wounds before hastily beginning this meeting, so his face still bore visible scars.
Even for an Elf, appearing in a meeting in such a battered state naturally invited sympathy, and as everyone looked at Jerome with such expressions, he began introducing his party.
Hezway’s party had three members, Ines’s party was a full five-member party, and this Fallen Leaf Party consisted of four members.
“Greetings. Unlike other Elves, we are the Fallen Leaf Party—Elves who have separated from the World Tree. I am Jerome Wigbard, serving as both party leader and close-range dealer.”
After introducing his party and himself, Jerome proceeded to introduce his members.
“Next is Wing Naghod, our tank who handles our front lines, followed by Harun Panir, our ranged dealer and naturalist who manages our rear, and finally Ubben Baghdad, who serves as our party’s healer.”
Following Jerome’s introductions, his party members likewise stood and bowed respectfully. After all the Elves had greeted everyone, they glanced nervously at the figure sitting beside them—Baeryujin, who despite remaining still, was classified as a monster by the Black Gate and emanated an ominous aura.
Now it was Baeryujin’s turn, and all the previously introduced parties watched him tensely, but since Baeryujin remained silent, no one could say anything.
Wondering if something was bothering him, everyone continued watching nervously until Dohyun, observing Baeryujin’s silence, spoke with obvious irritation.
“Hey, Master Baek, it’s your turn! What are you doing spacing out like that!”
At Dohyun’s words, all three parties flinched simultaneously. Though he had called out to Baeryujin, everyone wondered if he could really speak so casually and disrespectfully, and they all glanced nervously at Baeryujin.
Everyone here knew that any single party would lose against Baeryujin. At best, if everyone here attacked together, they might win, but whether Baeryujin would simply stand by and watch was questionable, so everyone remained tense.
Then.
“Huh? It was my turn?”
At Dohyun’s words, Baeryujin responded as if he hadn’t realized it was his turn, and everyone’s tension deflated into bewildered expressions.
Baeryujin seemed slightly embarrassed, scratching his cheek as he looked at everyone and spoke.
“I’m Baeryujin, from the Hwadaejuk continent.”
At those words, everyone except Dohyun’s party felt the weight of “from the Hwadaejuk continent” settle upon them, as they were all Superior Races.
Being the last survivor of a world already destroyed carried a weight heavier than anything else.
As everyone held their breath, the moment Baeryujin took his seat, Dohyun rose from his.
“There are circumstances, so for now, I’m Lee Suhyun. This is Mage Kim Alin, and this is Swordsman Park Minchan.”
When Dohyun introduced them simply like that, everyone except Jerome’s party—who already knew his real name was Dohyun—looked at Dohyun’s party with expressions of confusion.
“Now that I think about it, you—or rather, Suhyun—your party has no Healer?”
“That’s right?”
Hezway and Ines, maintaining formal speech since this was an official gathering, asked Dohyun with puzzlement, and he scratched his cheek as he answered.
“Well, it’s true there’s no suitable Healer available, but… I know how to do it to some extent.”
“…?” “…??” “…???”
At those words, everyone—whether from Hezway’s party, the Celestial party, or the Fallen Leaf party—stared at Dohyun as if they couldn’t comprehend what he was saying.
Magic, martial arts, and abilities like buffing and healing that Healers provided were divided according to individual constitution and natural talent. This held true even for the Superior Races. Of course, occasionally a prodigious genius appeared who excelled at two of these, but excelling at all three was incomprehensible.
So everyone looked at Dohyun with disbelief. Honestly, it was hard to believe—as they stared at him with that thought, Dohyun hummed and opened his palm to demonstrate magic first.
Whoooooosh———!!!
As flames suddenly appeared along with a magic circle, everyone looked at Dohyun with slight surprise, for there was no one in this place unfamiliar with magic.
But it was too early to be surprised.
He instantly altered the flow and properties of mana, attaching it to his own hand, then transformed it into the First Form of the Eternal Flame Extinguishing Technique, Eternal Flame.
“What is this!?”
“No, that can’t be!?”
Even though they had sparred with Dohyun before, they had assumed it was all martial arts because of the sparring context. Now, belatedly realizing he was simultaneously wielding magic and martial arts with such extraordinary proficiency, everyone in the room stared at him with trembling eyes.
Of course, it didn’t end there.
Dohyun didn’t stop and separated the Eternal Flame of the Eternal Flame Extinguishing Technique, causing it to bloom upward from his hand again, this time also transforming its properties.
As the fundamental properties inscribed in the mana transformed, the energy changed from simple mana or inner force into a separate energy imbued with the power of healing, and everyone’s eyes and mouths fell open in astonishment.
“Healing isn’t my specialty, so it’s quite difficult and I can’t use it frequently.”
There was certainly more loss compared to when he converted from magic to martial arts, but the healing power he demonstrated was sufficient to fulfill the role of an adequate Healer, leaving everyone in shock.
They stared blankly, unable to comprehend how this was possible, but for Hanalin and Jiyuchan, who were already accustomed to Dohyun, it was merely routine and they remained unfazed.
Perhaps because Hanalin and Jiyuchan treated it so casually, it actually inspired more confidence in Dohyun.
Then.
“Insane monster bastard.”
At Baeryujin’s quietly muttered words, everyone could only nod in agreement. Even Baeryujin, a true monster himself, called Dohyun a monster. Yet no one in this place disagreed with that assessment.
Except for Dohyun himself, of course.
“If I were a monster, I’d use healing freely too. I’m telling you, healing is difficult for me too?”
“You crazy bastard, what you’re doing doesn’t even make sense.”
This time, everyone had to concede to Baeryujin’s words. Even Hanalin and Jiyuchan nodded in agreement with him.
Then Ines, looking utterly flustered, asked Dohyun.
“Then, if we need a Healer during combat, would you provide healing for us, Dohyun?”
At Ines’s question, everyone looked at Dohyun’s party out of curiosity, and they all blinked their eyes. Then, as if they had just remembered something, they exclaimed and spoke.
“Oh right! Now that I think about it, we barely used healing during our fights?”
“Y-yeah, that’s right.”
“W-we didn’t really have much use for it, surprisingly.”
“Right?”
When facing formidable opponents in combat, Dohyun shouldered the vast majority of tanking duties, and since he possessed regeneration skills comparable to a Guardian’s physique, there were scarcely any moments during battle where healing became necessary.
Jiyuchan similarly ignored most wounds and fought through them, receiving treatment only after combat concluded, while Hanalin, with her frenzied control, rarely sustained injuries in the first place. Even when she did, she minimized the damage and healed afterward.
Recalling this, all three of them seemed to have fought in a brutishly reckless manner. It was absolutely not a normal situation. A Healer was considered an essential element within a Party, after all. When multiple hunters ventured out, encounters with powerful Monsters were commonplace, resulting in frequent injuries.
Moreover, if those wounds weren’t healed swiftly, they could leave lasting aftereffects—yet they were healing only after combat ended? It was nothing short of madness.
And Baeryujin voiced the very thought that aligned with this realization.
“Insane monster-talented bastards.”
Once Baeryujin spoke those words on their behalf, the other Party members finally felt their frustration ease.
