The Owner of the Healing Therapy Shop is World Rank 0
Chapter 110
Soon my vision swayed and went dark.
The next moment when I opened my eyes, I burst into dry coughs from the heat that seemed to burn my lungs and the strong sulfur smell.
“This place is…”
It was inside the Chuncheon Gate that Nara was seeing.
The sky burned a dark red like blood, and the ground beneath my feet trembled like a time bomb that could explode at any moment.
The oppressive force of mana emanating from the SS-rank Gate was beyond imagination.
The air itself had turned heavy like lead, pressing down on my entire body, and just standing still gave me a feeling of exhaustion as if my mana was evaporating.
Nara, the owner of this dream, stood in the rear with a pale face, barely maintaining her sanctuary.
I immediately looked down at my hands.
They were my familiar hands.
‘Is it because I used a high-grade memory tea bag? This time I exist separately.’
-Healer! Use more skills!
At Edward’s urgent voice, I immediately looked at Nara.
At that moment, my ‘True Sight’ was forcibly activated and I began to read in real-time how her mana was moving.
The yellow mana extending from her body became dozens of thin streams reaching each S-rank Hunter.
It was like a life support system constantly supplying healing skills and mana.
But at the same time, Abisor’s energy filling the void was sucking up her mana like a vacuum cleaner.
She frantically drank potions and crushed mana stones to replenish her mana, but it was like pouring water into a bottomless jar.
The amount being stolen by the boss was far greater than what she could supply.
At that moment, a deafening roar echoed.
I turned my head and froze in place.
There was the boss, Abisor.
It was more massive than I had imagined, and the killing intent pouring from its red eyes seemed like it would burn my skin.
Every time it flew at an unreasonable speed that covered hundreds of meters with just a blink, the shockwaves shook the earth.
But even more impressive were the Hunters fighting against that disaster.
They were reading the movements of a monster that barely left afterimages in my eyes.
The way they dodged, blocked, and swung their swords again was truly wondrous.
‘So this is the hell they’ve been repeating, risking their lives every time.’
Even facing such an overwhelming difference in power, their unhesitating charge toward Abisor stirred a hot excitement from the depths of my heart.
To not let their efforts go to waste, I immediately opened my True Sight ability without restraint.
The mana circuit tracking ability I had practiced countless times began to tear through the dream space.
Fortunately, my ability operated normally even in the dream.
Under Abisor’s hard scales, the complexly intertwined mana circuits spread out in detail before my eyes like blueprints.
Then, Senior Jinseong activated his wide-area collapse skill and charged forward.
Everything the sword touched shattered at the molecular level, striking Abisor’s flank hard.
Immediately after, Ohyeongtaek’s storm-like slash struck Abisor’s nape.
I concentrated to not miss the moment when an enormous amount of mana exploded forth in the attack skills.
Before the attacks reached Abisor, the boss’s external mana circuits spread throughout the Gate absorbed some of the Hunters’ mana as if intercepting it.
And when the attacks directly hit the granite-like scales, its internal circuits instantly devoured the mana like paper absorbing ink.
What was even more surprising came next.
It cut off the circuits damaged by the Hunters’ attacks by itself, and new mana circuits instantly regenerated to fill the empty spaces.
‘That was it…!’
The reason my items didn’t work wasn’t because it selectively absorbed mana.
When my mana-infused items exploded and attacked the circuits, it was responding by making those circuit parts ‘suicide’ themselves before the main body could be contaminated.
Its terrifying regeneration speed was outpacing my skill’s destruction speed.
The moment I realized the secret, Abisor’s body swelled to twice its size.
Its face twisted even more viciously, and the mana waves it emitted crushed the battlefield.
Soon after, Feng Hao, Edward, and Ohyeongtaek collapsed one by one.
“No…!”
Seeing that scene, Nara screamed and squeezed out her remaining mana.
“Aaaaah!”
She screamed in agony.
Her mana scattered uselessly into the air before it could even reach the fallen ones.
More than the physical pain from her circuits burning due to overload, the despair of not being able to save her comrades was consuming her.
The more she suffered, the more bizarre and massive Abisor became.
All of this was an illusion created by her guilt.
“Sister! Sister!”
I grabbed the collapsed Nara and forced her to look at me.
Surprisingly, her unfocused eyes turned precisely toward me.
“Yebichnna…? Why are you here…?”
At that moment, Abisor let out a bizarre cry and opened its mouth.
A pitch-black breath that seemed to devour the world poured toward us.
I hugged her tightly and whispered.
“Sister, it’s okay. This is a dream. It’s okay.”
My vision flickered and I was thrown back to reality.
The first thing I saw upon opening my eyes was Senior Jinseong’s face, anxiously keeping watch by the bed.
“Yebichnna! Are you okay?”
His dark expression instantly brightened the moment I opened my eyes.
I let out a small laugh at the sight of Senior looking flustered and not knowing what to do.
“Yes, I’m fine. But…”
Senior’s and my gaze fell on Nara, who hadn’t woken from the dream.
“Ugh…”
Seeing her still tormented by nightmares made my heart heavy again.
She was repeating that hell. And by herself, no less.
I bit my lips tightly.
“Senior, by any chance… at the end, did everyone except you collapse?”
“…You experienced even that directly?”
Senior grabbed my shoulders tightly in surprise.
His eyes were filled with worry for me.
“I was fine because I knew it was a dream.”
Seeing me speak calmly, Senior finally let out a low sigh.
“…Only Feng Hao lost consciousness, the rest were conscious. But it’s true that we all went to the brink of death.”
“As I thought… Nara thinks she failed to save everyone and they all died. That guilt is making Abisor even more monstrous.”
“…That must be painful.”
Senior looked down at her with a dark expression.
“What about Professor Seong?”
“He’s waiting in your workshop.”
I gently covered Senior’s hand on my shoulder to reassure him, then headed straight to Professor Seong who would be waiting in the workshop.
As soon as Professor Seong saw me, he embraced me tightly and let out a sigh of relief.
“Miss Yebichnna! I was so worried you might get trapped in the dream like last time!”
“It was fine since it wasn’t a dream demon. I’m sorry for worrying you.”
I seated the Professor in a chair and sat around the table with Senior.
I explained everything I had seen in the dream one by one.
“As you said, Professor, I didn’t try to forcibly wake her up, but she was abnormally inflating the dream images due to her guilt.”
“It’s a typical trauma…”
The Professor muttered with a darkened expression.
“But Sister recognized me. We could even have a conversation.”
“My goodness, you were able to communicate directly with the dream’s owner?”
Professor was startled.
“We should test whether physical force works in dreams too. If we succeed in a simulation of defeating the boss in a dream, we might be able to conquer the Gate… and heal Sister’s trauma as well, don’t you think?”
“That would be really wonderful if possible.”
Professor Seong let out a sigh of relief and left his seat.
He had to go check on Nara’s condition.
I shared with Senior the ‘regeneration shedding’ mechanism of Abisor that I had learned in the dream.
“Abisor wasn’t selectively absorbing mana. It absorbed everything, but it shed the damaged circuits on its own and recovered at tremendous speed.”
Senior Jinseong nodded his head slowly.
“…Even though I hit it accurately, it remained unharmed as if it had dodged the skill.”
“We need something that exceeds Abisor’s regenerative power.”
I looked at Senior and revealed my firm determination.
“Senior, could you get me a monster with regenerative abilities alive?”
“A monster?”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a low grade. There’s something I want to test.”
Senior frowned slightly as if puzzled for a moment, but seeing my resolute gaze, he nodded briefly.
‘If my prediction is correct, we’ll be able to take down Abisor too.’
I clenched my fist tightly and vowed that I would absolutely not fail.
