The Owner of the Healing Therapy Shop is World Rank 0

Chapter 108

The volcanic ash storm split apart, and a massive shadow that crushed the atmosphere poured down over the hunters.

It wasn’t simply a large monster.

It was a disaster itself that twisted the laws of mana with its mere existence.

[Warning: SS-rank Field Boss ‘Black Evolution Dragon Abisor’ has appeared!]

[Caution: Within ‘Abisor’s’ domain, mana absorption rate is fixed at 500%!]

Abisor, emerging by tearing through the black volcanic ash storm, was covered entirely in rough volcanic rock scales that seemed to burn.

The red mana flowing between the scales was like blood vessels with lava coursing through them.

What terrified the hunters most were the six red eyes embedded in its head.

Those eyes, each gazing in different directions and blinking, were analyzing every detail of the enemies before them.

“Crazy, a boss right from the start?!”

As soon as Ohyeongtaek’s shocked cry burst out, all six red eyes flashed in unison.

When Abisor swung its massive wings, the hot volcanic ash became blades that struck down at the hunters.

“Deploy defensive formation!”

Seondonguk shouted as he slammed a massive golden shield into the ground.

Crash!

The ground shook as a brilliant golden barrier spread out, and the volcanic ash blades bounced off with sparks flying.

Behind it, Edward raised his staff.

“Prison of Ice, Absolute Zero!”

With Edward’s incantation, the atmosphere instantly froze and thousands of icicles rushed toward Abisor’s wings.

But Abisor didn’t dodge.

When it opened its mouth, the rushing mana icicles decomposed without form and were sucked into its maw.

Abisor’s six eyes, having devoured the mana, emitted an even more eerie light.

Abisor mockingly sliced through space at sonic speed.

Whoosh-!

In the instant the massive sonic boom tore at their ears, it appeared behind Edward and swung its giant claws.

-Dodge!

Feng Hao shouted as he kicked off the ground and leaped out.

Reaching transcendent speed with his body enhancement skill, he left only an afterimage as he dove into Abisor’s flank.

-Die, lizard!

With a tremendous explosive sound, Feng Hao’s fist struck Abisor’s scales.

But its scales were volcanic rock harder than steel.

As the impact’s recoil twisted Feng Hao’s arm muscles, Abisor’s tail whipped like a whip.

The target was Feng Hao’s lower abdomen.

“Feng Hao!”

Jinseong kicked off the ground and swung his sword in midair.

[Skill Activated: Storm of Void]

Everything touched by Jinseong’s sword tip decomposed at the molecular level, making space itself ripple.

The wave of collapse collided with the boss’s tail causing an explosion, and seizing that gap, Ohyeongtaek brought down his great sword imbued with wind energy.

“Judgment of the Heavens!”

Sharp wind blades slashed at Abisor’s nape.

Black blood spurted from its body, but the wound was sealed again in the blink of an eye.

The 500% mana absorption rate was converting even the hunters’ attacks into its recovery energy.

“Now!”

At Jinseong’s shout, the party members simultaneously pulled out Yebichnna’s item ‘Paradox Recovery Orb’ as if by agreement.

It was the result of training – they couldn’t miss the gap when the boss came close to the ground.

Abisor’s speed was terrifyingly fast, making precise throwing impossible, but the S-ranks’ reaction speed was sufficient to detonate the items matching its attack trajectory.

Seondonguk blocked its claws with his golden shield while detonating the item.

Following that, Ohyeongtaek and Edward also exploded the orbs condensed with Yebichnna’s mana with time delays.

Crash!

White mana spread like mist and engulfed Abisor’s massive body.

According to plan, it should absorb this mana and have its mana circuits go haywire.

The rapidly spreading spores should burst the circuits, making the boss writhe in pain normally.

But the miracle happened on the boss’s side, not the hunters’.

“…What? Is that thing selectively eating mana right now?!”

Ohyeongtaek shouted in disbelief.

He was right.

Abisor twisted its body to avoid the white mana spread in the air as if it had seen deadly poison.

While persistently selecting and absorbing only the pure skill mana emitted by the hunters.

It had intelligence. Very high intelligence at that.

It instinctively, or intellectually, understood that the mana contained in Yebichnna’s items was harmful to it.

“This is insane. It’s filtering mana. It’s selectively devouring only the skills we use!”

Ean cursed under his breath.

Ean opened the Holy Rod and deployed a sanctuary, but it was insufficient to handle the merciless mana consumption.

Ean’s complexion turned white as paper.

The longer the battle dragged on, the more desperately the situation changed.

Yebichnna’s ice items cooled the breath’s heat, barely allowing them to endure, but the overwhelming power difference with Abisor couldn’t be bridged.

“Urgh…!”

Feng Hao took a direct hit from Abisor’s claws, his abdomen torn wide as he was sent flying.

Seondonguk’s golden defensive formation also shattered into powder.

Even after exhausting all of Yebichnna’s items, Abisor didn’t have a single wound.

The skills they poured out with full power had instead become the boss’s tonic.

The hunters’ faces were colored with despair.

Grrrrr-.

It let out another massive roar and gathered dazzling red light deep in its throat.

[Abisor casts ultimate skill ‘Abyss Breath’.]

“Everyone dodge!”

Jinseong shouted until his throat was raw.

At the moment of crisis when a massive pillar of flame that seemed to burn both heaven and earth poured down—

Swoosh!

Intense white light erupted from beneath the hunters’ feet.

Just as Abisor’s breath reached right before them, space-time twisted and the six hunters vanished from the Gate.

* * *

With intense dizziness, the hot volcanic heat disappeared and cool air touched their skin.

The hunters looked at each other with dazed faces.

They weren’t in front of Abisor where they had sensed death, but in front of the Gate where countless crowds had gathered.

“Huh?”

“This place…?”

Did, did we get out?”

“What is this…”

As they recognized the situation, relief and defeat rushed in simultaneously.

The hunters whose tension had released began collapsing one by one.

“Ha, fuck… I really thought we were going to die…”

Ohyeongtaek threw away his great sword and sprawled out spread-eagle. One of his strangely bent legs was already undergoing necrosis.

Ean was supporting the already dying Feng Hao when he collapsed forward and lost consciousness.

“Cough…”

Seondonguk slammed his shield to the ground with a bang and fell to his knees.

Dark red blood flowed endlessly from his mouth.

Edward was barely supporting his body with his trembling hands leaning on his staff.

However, despite looking like he was about to collapse, he glared at Jinseong’s straight-backed figure.

The scene was nothing short of chaos.

The cheers of spectators who had been eagerly awaiting a successful conquest turned to horror.

“Everyone move aside!”

“Healer! Healer!”

Yebichnna and Association employees who had been waiting rushed over, shouting almost like screams.

All S-rank Hunters were in a state of combat incapacity.

People’s expressions hardened instantly at this unexpected turn of events.

At the center of that devastating defeat, only Jinseong stood alone without moving.

In his eyes as he stared at the Gate entrance, uncontained murderous magical power rippled.

Red blood was streaming down from one side of Jinseong’s forehead, soaking down to his chin.

“Senior… let’s get you treated first…”

Yebichnna applied an ampoule to Jinseong’s forehead with trembling hands, tears welling up in her eyes.

Instead of answering, Jinseong looked at the three eyes that had appeared above the Gate entrance.

One of them slowly closed and was swallowed by darkness.

It meant they had already used up one opportunity.

It was the result of humanity’s strongest Hunters being driven out without lasting even 30 minutes.

The scene vibrated with fear, chaos, and the smell of the Hunters’ blood.
