My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 72

Episode 72. Construction Site

Waking up and breathing roughly was only momentary.

With my stomach churning and my mouth covered, I couldn’t hold back the rising nausea.

“….”

Dark red liquid flowing down my hand.

Then a melting pain spread from my arm.

Soon, agony as if my entire body’s organs were being torn apart engulfed me.

With my vision flickering relentlessly, I buried my head on the floor and gritted my teeth, swallowing the scream that tried to escape.

‘Why on earth…!’

That was definitely a dream.

Yet the pain I experienced in the dream was being felt exactly the same in reality.

As I trembled uncontrollably, the closed door burst open.

“M-Master!”

Did Omen tip her off?

Jini, her face pale as a sheet, rushed over urgently to check on me.

Thanks to the ‘Blessing of Super Regeneration,’ I had recovered enough to speak and told Jini I was fine while struggling to get up.

In my field of vision, Seong Yu-mi and Jeong Chan-woo were looking at me with faces more hardened than I’d ever seen.

“…Black Dragon. What happened?”

“Ah… it’s a long story.”

Chuckle.

I let out a laugh and wiped the blood from my chin as I spoke.

“I failed to recover my memories.”

Simply put, I failed.

Of course, instead.

“I found out about the space where Soo-a Nuna was kidnapped.”

I discovered something else.

* * *

As expected of an S-Rank Hunter.

Seong Yu-mi handed me a potion from who knows where.

Apparently it was a high-grade potion.

‘It’s worth the money.’

I heard one high-grade potion costs more than a used car, but after drinking it, its performance is definitely real.

As soon as I drank the potion, my internal injuries disappeared instantly.

Thanks to that, I was able to explain everything that happened in the dream to them without pain.

“….”

“….”

The two people lost in thought with serious expressions.

Turning my gaze away from them, I looked at Jini.

Jini was standing next to Choi Su-a, sweating profusely.

“Jini. Is Soo-a Nuna okay?”

“…No. She’s not okay.”

Jini bit her lips nervously.

In front of her lay Choi Su-a, bleeding from her eyes, nose, and ears as she slept.

“She received too great a shock in the dream.”

A shock great enough to collapse the dream.

That shock was so intense that it affected not only the dream but also her mind.

“With rest, her damaged mind will recover, but….”

“She won’t be able to enter dreams again.”

Jini nodded silently.

I thought that would be the case.

After experiencing such shock in the dream, there’s no way she’d be fine.

-How are you, kind human? Is your body alright?

“This much is fine. I didn’t die, right?”

That aside, it is quite strange.

Why was the pain I received in the dream also felt in reality?

-Because the kind human’s mind is not part of the dream, but the kind human’s own mind.

“Mind?”

-The kind human is a foreign substance. Unlike other dream characters, you’re not an illusory existence but a real one.

I am not a dream character but a real person.

Therefore, all the pain received in the dream was pain that was also transmitted to me in reality.

So that’s why the pain swept over me as soon as I woke up.

-Didn’t I tell you? Entering dreams is a dangerous act.

I didn’t know.

I just thought I could endure it with mental strength.

No, more than that.

“Then you should have explained from the start.”

-…I only learned this fact after becoming the Spirit King.

I chuckled at Omen’s evasive look.

I had no intention of scolding him.

Even if I had known, I would have done the same thing.

“Um, Black Dragon.”

Then, Seong Yu-mi, who had been keeping silent, finally spoke up.

I turned my head and looked at Seong Yu-mi with an expression asking why she called me.

“What exactly is… magi?”

Ah, I see.

Seong Yu-mi doesn’t know about magi.

After briefly pondering, I slowly opened my mouth.

“Simply put, it’s corrupted mana.”

“Corrupted mana?”

“Mana so lethal that just touching it melts your skin.”

“If someone uses magic with that kind of power….”

“It would be a disaster.”

Though it was a very brief conversation, Seong Yu-mi and Jeong Chan-woo immediately grasped the severity of the situation.

“Additionally, magi devours people. You must never let it touch you.”

“…This is serious.”

Jeong Chan-woo muttered with deeply sunken eyes.

Magi that must not be approached and a swordsman who must get close.

His appearance seemed to overlap with my own when I first faced magi.

Anyway.

“Omen.”

Even if not 100%, at least 80% of my physical condition had returned.

Standing up, I looked straight at Omen with both eyes and said.

“You said you figured out where the location in the dream is?”

-That’s right.

“Guide me.”

Now that my physical condition had improved, even the time spent here was precious.

Omen, knowing this fact as well, quickly flew up.

“Im Seung-hun. Are you coming too?”

“M-me?”

“Right.”

At my words, Im Seung-hun pondered with a serious expression.

He wanted to go.

But he couldn’t go.

The reason was.

“…If I go, who’s going to take care of Miss Choi Su-a?”

It was because of Choi Su-a, who was still sleeping.

The bleeding from her nose had stopped, but no one knew when something might go wrong.

Someone had to stay by her side…

“What. Just go.”

At the unfamiliar voice from the entrance, I quickly turned my head.

There stood a refined grandmother with white hair, looking at Im Seung-hun.

“I’ll take care of that girl named Choi Su-a.”

“…Who are you?”

“Me? The grandmother of that baldy over there.”

“…?”

I blinked and looked at the grandmother.

So…

“By grandmother, you mean…”

“That baldy over there is my grandson.”

“But earlier you said your grandmother had passed away?”

“…This damn brat?”

The grandmother’s blade-sharp gaze rushed toward Im Seung-hun.

Im Seung-hun flinched and urgently shouted.

“When, when did I say that! Black Dragon hyung, you sure know how to make up stories!?”

“You said that when you first came to the house.”

“That meant Grandmother gave up the room because of Miss Choi Su-a and went back to the main house!”

He shouted indignantly as if wronged.

But that, I think other people besides me would have heard it the same way?

Letting it go in one ear, I glanced over at the grandmother.

The grandmother was taking off her shoes with a furious expression like a demon and walking toward Im Seung-hun with heavy steps.

“This damn bastard. Killing off a perfectly fine grandmother?”

Thwack!

The grandmother’s foot struck Im Seung-hun’s shin.

Even though he was an A-rank Hunter and it shouldn’t hurt, he grabbed his shin pretending to be in pain.

“No, that’s not it! And if I’m a damn bastard, doesn’t that make Grandmother’s son a damn man?”

“That guy is a damn man. Leaving an old woman behind and the two of them dying together, isn’t that what makes him a damn man?”

Tsk.

The grandmother clicked her tongue and turned to me.

“I’ll take care of that girl, so whatever’s going on, take this guy with you.”

“Is that really okay? It might be dangerous.”

“When I’m offering to recycle a guy who’s an A-rank Hunter but ran away because he was embarrassed to show his baldness, is there any need to refuse?”

Smack!

The grandmother who strongly hit Im Seung-hun’s back nodded her head.

“If you understand, get out quickly. Before I kick you out of the room.”

“Grandmother…”

“I was the one feeding and housing that girl from the beginning anyway. What are you pretending to care about now? Pretending to care.”

Im Seung-hun mumbled and turned his head to ask Jeong Chan-woo.

“Is there any room left in the car?”

* * *

Inside the black sedan speeding along the road at high speed.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, I pressed the accelerator and glanced to the side.

“Omen. What’s next?”

The reason I ended up driving Jeong Chan-woo’s car was simple.

Jeong Chan-woo couldn’t see spirits.

We had to follow Omen’s directions, but it would be difficult for him to sit in the driver’s seat when he couldn’t communicate directly.

Since I wasn’t without a driver’s license either, I said I would drive.

As a result, I sat in the driver’s seat and Jini sat in the passenger seat.

-You need to turn right here.

Following Omen’s directions, I turned the steering wheel and looked around.

“…”

It looked very familiar.

It had been over 30 minutes since we started driving, and the more we went, the more familiar the street scenery became.

It would have been better if it was a neighborhood I’d never been to.

The increasingly familiar scenery made me feel uneasy.

-Just keep going straight now.

“…Got it.”

No, maybe the reason I felt uneasy wasn’t because the scenery became familiar.

Maybe I had already.

-It’s in the basement of this building.

Maybe I had roughly expected where the destination would be.

I stepped on the brakes and shifted to park, then looked up at the front.

“…Ha, damn it.”

Letting out a hollow laugh and gritting my teeth, I looked at the building in front of me.

The construction site where I had stayed until just before entering the Tutorial Tower.

The space where I opened my eyes when I came out of the Tutorial Tower afterward.

Furthermore, the building that now had a sign reading ‘Royal Evergreen Hospital’.

“This feels disgusting.”

They say it’s darkest under the lamp.

I don’t know which lamp it was, but the light must have been incredibly strong.

I never thought it would really be this place.

With a weak chuckle, I opened the car door last and got out.

“I was too out of it back then to check.”

So this was a hospital.

I thought it was an empty building since I couldn’t sense any human presence inside.

“If I had known this was a hospital, I would have noticed something was wrong much earlier.”

Think about it.

What hospital would have nothing in the corridors.

Hospitals place at least minimal staff on the first floor even at dawn.

But now, no one could be seen on the first floor visible through the glass windows.

Not even a single nurse that you could find at a neighborhood hospital.

“…Master. From this building…”

“I know too.”

I’m feeling it sufficiently too.

This building.

Inside this place.

In this entire area.

“Magic energy.”

The fact that a faint purple aura could be felt.

Muttering quietly, I looked to the side.

“…What the hell is this? This ominous mana?”

“Could this be demonic energy?”

Sensing something strange, Seong Yu-mi and Jeong Chan-woo look at the building with confused eyes.

Only Im Seung-hun, who alone failed to notice, tilts his head in puzzlement.

I nodded at the two of them, meaning they were right.

“What’s there? I just feel uncomfortable and that’s it.”

“…That’s demonic energy, Hunter Im Seung-hun.”

“Ah, is that so?”

Tsk.

Im Seung-hun clicked his tongue quietly and took a step forward.

Then.

[Strong Strike]

Using a common skill that martial arts Hunters can use, he roughly struck the hospital’s main gate.

“Then why are we standing around here? We should hurry and go in.”

Rumble-

The building’s outer wall collapses from his single punch.

Jeong Chan-woo nodded as if agreeing with Im Seung-hun’s words and drew his sword from its sheath.

[Celestial Body – Seven Stars]

Slash-

The falling debris is split in half by the sword strike.

Jeong Chan-woo, who left deep cuts on the remaining outer wall of the building, gripped his sword hilt tightly and narrowed his eyes.

“Entering now.”

There’s no going back.

What if there are people inside and they do this.

Shrugging my shoulders, I kicked off the ground.

[Smoke Mist – Flying Above Fog]

Entering through the collapsed main gate, I looked around with cold eyes.

“Well, they have no intention of hiding. Is that it?”

Just moments ago, no one was visible through the glass windows.

But as soon as we entered the building, creatures consumed by demonic energy were welcoming us.

Dogs and cats scattering red light from their eyes and dripping purple energy from their bodies.

Even wild animals including deer and roe deer from who knows where.

Various animals of all kinds, more fitting for a zoo than a hospital, all consumed by demonic energy, welcomed us.

I spoke to those who followed me in and witnessed this scene.

“They’re all consumed by demonic energy, so there’s no way but to kill them.”

“…Got it.”

Whoosh.

I can feel mana starting to ripple from behind me.

From the right, I feel a cold air like a well-honed night sky.

From the left, I feel intense heat.

“Omen. You protect Jini.”

-I know.

“Jini. If it seems dangerous, you know what to do?”

“Yes. I’ll return right away.”

Jini, who consumed much power from the aftermath in the dream, doesn’t have enough strength left to participate in battle.

Confirming that Omen’s darkness enveloped Jini, I kicked off the ground and charged forward.
