The Owner of the Healing Therapy Shop is World Rank 0

Chapter 107

Unlike the times when I always provided item support from the rear, coming all the way to the front of the Chuncheon Gate was because of Ean’s pressure.

“If we clear the Predator Gate, it must be immortalized as Bichnna’s achievement. We need to interview directly with the media on site and immediately announce that status to the entire world.”

Ean’s passionate persuasion was one thing, but actually the anxiety settled deep in my heart was the biggest reason.

An SS-rank Gate.

Because no one knew what would happen beyond that passage, more dangerous and sinister than any gate humanity had faced so far.

As I had worried, the gate I encountered upon arriving at the scene was on a completely different level, starting from the oppressive feeling of magical power gushing out from the entrance.

I came prepared for any possible mishap, packing items and materials in my infinite subspace pouch to the brim.

Gripping the pouch strings tightly in my hand, I opened the status window once more.

[55. Chuncheon Uiam Lake (Rank SS)

Terrain: Active volcano covered in volcanic ash / Boss: ?? (Magic absorption rate 500%)]

The fact that even the boss’s name wouldn’t appear made my mouth go dry.

‘A magic absorption rate of 500 percent.’

It was a lethal figure that could cause even S-rank Hunters to collapse from magic depletion after just a few skills.

I wanted to extract the boss’s name from Mimi, but since she had disappeared somewhere lately and was nowhere to be seen, I steeled my trembling heart and entered the tent where the party members were meeting.

The air inside the tent was not just bleak but like thin ice.

Because Korea’s maximum firepower – Senior Jinseong, Oppa Donguk, Hyeongtaek, Sister Nara – as well as Feng Hao and Edward who came as overseas support were all gathered in one place.

Especially China’s Feng Hao and America’s Edward, famous for their bad relationship, were engaged in an invisible power struggle.

However, what they mainly picked on was Senior Jinseong.

-Hey, Gangjinseong. You haven’t forgotten that you need to fight me first before having a competition with Edward, right?

When Feng Hao growled roughly, Edward sneered and responded.

-As if you’d be a match.

They had subtly provoked Senior’s mood even in the training ground, trying to incite fights.

But Senior treated those two like invisible people.

I wondered if conquest would be possible with this atmosphere, but since the training results were perfect enough to make one’s tongue wag, I tried to suppress my anxiety.

When I approached inside the tent, all eyes focused on me.

Hyeongtaek jumped up and asked brightly.

“Noona! Did you bring mine?”

I nodded and took out an item from my pouch, handing it to Hyeongtaek first.

At that moment, I felt Senior’s piercing gaze pass over my fingertips and stick persistently to Hyeongtaek.

Hyeongtaek hummed as if enjoying that gaze.

“This is a special gift I received after dating with Bichnna noona~ Something only I can receive.”

A smile crept up at Hyeongtaek’s relaxed appearance even before the decisive battle.

“It’s items called Tears of the Dawn Galaxy and Breath of Eternal Snow. Since it’s volcanic terrain, ice-type items should be helpful.”

I took out items with different materials but the same effects from my pouch and distributed them to everyone present.

When items were distributed to everyone without exception, Hyeongtaek’s face quickly became sullen.

“What, it wasn’t just for me? Totally disappointing.”

I rolled my eyes around and added to lift Hyeongtaek’s spirits.

“Still, since I personally selected them and made them with materials I bought with my own money, they have the deepest meaning!”

“Right?!”

At those words, this time Senior’s expression hardened slightly.

Just when I thought ‘oops’, Sister Nara refreshingly smacked both men’s backs.

“The effects are all similar, so what’s there to argue about! You should be bowing your heads in gratitude! Hey, if you received this many S-rank items for free, you should know to be thankful!”

Meanwhile, Feng Hao and Edward examined the items with Sohee’s appraisal magnifying glass and quietly let out exclamations of admiration.

Even the two who had been growling at each other shone their eyes while examining the items like ordinary hunters, at least for this moment.

I put on the interpreter sponsored by Revive and spoke to them.

“I refined the items you used in the training ground by just raising the grade, so there shouldn’t be any sense of alienation inside the gate either.”

Feng Hao took a martial arts stance and bowed respectfully, and Edward also expressed gratitude with a courteous attitude.

The reason even Feng Hao, famous for his bad personality, was so polite to me was something they had directly told me before.

‘Thanks to the items you supported, my country survived.’

“Keu, as expected of noona.”

Hyeongtaek showed the same reaction every time those foreign hunters treated me respectfully.

Just as Hyeongtaek was fooling around giving double thumbs up, Director Seo Eunhae and Jang Dohun entered the tent.

It was a signal that entry time was imminent.

Director Seo Eunhae approached Oppa Donguk and gave advice to be careful, while Jang Dohun spread encouraging words with a benevolent smile.

“Please conquer safely and return. The future of humanity depends on you all.”

I swallowed dry saliva while feeling the rough magical power of the gate seeping even into the tent.

Please, let everyone return safely without any incidents.

Leaving behind everyone’s passionate cheers and support, Korea’s and the world’s elite party crossed the red membrane of the gate.

Gangjinseong, Seondonguk, Ohyeongtaek, Shinnara, Edward, Feng Hao.

The sight that the six S-rank Hunters wearing uniforms with their respective national flags encountered was truly a hellish landscape.

The sky was covered with black volcanic ash spewing out ceaselessly, not even sunlight was visible, and beneath their feet the boiling earth vibrated while spewing heat.

Magma flowed like rivers from all directions, and hot wind mixed with sulfur smell pierced their lungs.

“The terrain itself is similar to lower grades. Is that fortunate.”

Hyeongtaek muttered lightly, but Nara’s complexion was already pale.

“Fortunate my ass… Is everyone okay? I feel like my magic is leaking out just standing still. At this rate I’ll be exhausted before even reaching the boss room.”

Nara’s appeal wasn’t an exaggeration.

Even the S-rank Hunters were feeling the eerie sensation of the earth sucking up their magic through their soles with every step they took.

“Save the potions Bichnna gave us, and healers only cast skills when you can maximize healing efficiency.”

At Jinseong’s command from the front, the party members used the items Bichnna had prepared little by little as they advanced.

Bichnna’s guide item created a clear path of light leading to the boss room even in the sight filled with volcanic ash.

Had they walked for about twenty minutes stepping on hot volcanic ash?

The party stopped simultaneously as if by agreement.

“Strange. Why aren’t there any monsters?”

It was as Donguk said.

Contrary to expectations that lower-grade monsters would swarm in groups right after entering since it was an SS-rank gate, the gate was eerily quiet.

Only the occasional distant roar of volcanic explosions broke the silence.

“The item doesn’t show any traps or danger indicators. This way is definitely the path.”

At Jinseong’s words, Feng Hao, who suffered most from the heat, wiped his sweat and muttered curses.

-Damn it, being SS-rank makes it impossible to get a feel for it. I’d rather they swarm us…

At that moment, the ground shook terrifyingly.

It was the vibration of a massive volcanic explosion incomparable to before.

“Another eruption I guess… Isn’t it tiresome.”

Just as Hyeongtaek was muttering, all party members raised their heads to the sky.

It was a reflexive action by instinct.

In the storm of flying black volcanic ash, something was vertically falling toward them at the speed of light along with enormous magical power.

“It’s coming!”

With Jinseong’s shout, the six hunters simultaneously drew up their magical power.

Kuuuuung!

Powerful magic burst forth, strong enough to make the volcanic ash piled beneath their feet float up, and an attack formation unfolded.

Hyeongtaek’s massive greatsword stirred up strong winds, and Donguk’s magic crossed through the atmosphere forming a blue barrier.

Jinseong and Edward stood at the front with weapons drawn, while Nara deployed a sanctuary from the rear.
