The Owner of the Healing Therapy Shop is World Rank 0
Chapter 113
Despite the official training time being over, explosive sounds could still be heard from the training ground in the center of the island.
It was the sound of Ohyeongtaek training.
He was pushing himself to exhaustion, driving his body hard to adapt to the buff he received from me.
Ohyeongtaek’s relentless movements and Abisor’s breath chasing him collided in the air, creating brilliant sparks.
I sat on the bench, quietly watching the scene while lost in deep thought.
‘It’s always been a question for me.’
I had defined myself as an Enchanter.
My method was to imbue skills into objects and implement them indirectly through items.
But there was one time when that formula was broken.
It was when I revived Seondonguk Oppa’s mana circuit.
At that time, I didn’t use skills through items.
I placed my hand on Oppa’s chest and poured the skill directly into the circuit flowing to his heart.
‘That means I should be able to use other skills besides ‘Wave of Recovery’ without items, right?’
I clenched and opened my palm, continuing my contemplation.
If I could use skills directly without items, the effect would surely be beyond imagination.
The bouquet containing my skill only made Seondonguk Oppa’s vitals move, but when I cast it directly, the dying circuit surged and recovered – that was proof.
To break Abisor’s terrifying regenerative power, I needed a more powerful and fundamental strike than simply throwing items.
‘In the end, casting directly myself might be the best option.’
The key was whether my skill could penetrate that creature’s hard granite scales and directly reach the circuit.
“Training halt! Ugh, I’m dying.”
Ohyeongtaek collapsed in front of the now-still Abisor, breathing heavily.
I got up from my seat and slowly approached the massive Abisor’s illusion.
“Noona?”
Ohyeongtaek, who spotted me, wiped his sweat and hurriedly ran over.
“Why did you come all the way here? It’s dangerous!”
“There’s something I want to experiment with.”
“Experiment?”
“Just a moment.”
I placed my hand on the leg of the motionless Abisor.
That sensation from when I saved Seondonguk Oppa. Not pushing mana into an object, but using my hand itself as a medium to explode it.
‘Paradox of Recovery.’
At that moment, high-density mana rippled from my palm.
It was pressure on a completely different dimension from when I contained it in items.
I could tell without opening my eyes.
My mana was mercilessly destroying the circuit beneath Abisor’s scales.
The thrill conveyed by my instincts traveled through my fingertips.
But the scales’ defensive power was too high.
The skill that couldn’t directly touch the circuit had its effect halved, and the creature’s regenerative power quickly filled in the damaged parts.
“Ah… the scales are too hard.”
“Then we just need to cut through the scales, right? Noona, step aside for a moment.”
Ohyeongtaek, who heard my muttering, grinned and drew his greatsword.
“Watch this. I’m going to look pretty cool.”
As Ohyeongtaek swung his greatsword wide, sharp whirlwinds wrapped around the blade.
When the whirlwind touched the scales, pieces of Abisor’s scales scattered in all directions with a roar like throwing rocks into a crusher.
“Noona, now!”
I immediately placed my hand on Abisor’s leg where the flesh was exposed.
The result was amazing.
My mana instantly burned the creature’s mana circuit pitch black.
It was too fast for regeneration to even attempt.
“…Wow, Noona. That’s incredible.”
Ohyeongtaek excitedly grabbed my hand and jumped around, shaking it vigorously.
“Noona, you’re really freaking strong! I’ve been attacking for hours and couldn’t even cut off one leg!”
I couldn’t help but laugh at Ohyeongtaek’s excitement.
“But this is just a hologram made based on Sohee’s predictions… I don’t know if it’ll work the same way in reality.”
Then Ohyeongtaek squeezed our intertwined hands tightly and stopped.
He drew his lips into a refreshing arc and looked straight into my eyes.
“I guarantee that with Noona’s ability, you can catch the real one too. So have confidence.”
“…”
Flustered by his serious gaze, I was looking around when suddenly there was commotion beyond the training ground.
I heard unfamiliar voices.
They said someone new was joining, and it seemed that person had arrived.
I let go of the hand I was holding with Ohyeongtaek and turned around.

A few hours earlier.
A man who had emerged from the dilapidated villa village got into the back seat of Seo Eunhae’s luxury sedan.
The moment the car door closed, Eunhae cast her gaze over her sunglasses.
The messy beggar from the garbage dump was nowhere to be seen.
After cleanly shaving off his scruffy beard and sweeping his long hair back with a headband, his hidden features were refreshingly revealed.
His thick jawline, dark eyebrows, and sharply torn eyes exuded a fierce yet masculine charm.
It was a refreshingly handsome appearance that didn’t match his swaggering attitude, but the bloody killing intent in his eyes remained the same.
As soon as the man sat down, Eunhae silently threw him a phone.
“Use this for contact from now on.”
The man lightly caught the phone.
“Already putting a leash on me?”
He chuckled and turned on the phone screen.
As soon as he turned on the screen, the main page of the portal site he accessed was plastered with news about him.
[Breaking News: ‘Distorted Hero’ Lim Yooil suddenly resumes activities!]
[S-rank Hunter Lim Yooil, who mysteriously disappeared, confirmed to join Chuncheon Gate!]
“Huh, what were you thinking spreading this around everywhere?”
Yui twisted his lips and glanced at Eunhae.
She replied casually without even opening her eyes beneath her sunglasses.
“They’d find out anyway, might as well get some views.”
Yui burst into laughter, crossed his legs, and slowly read through the comments.
The reactions were predictably split.
Criticism asking why a criminal didn’t stay hidden and positive reactions glad that overwhelming power had been added were evenly matched.
└Is he a celebrity? Sneaking back out again;
└What kind of trouble are you planning to cause this time? Tsk
└Yebichnna is already struggling with the Gate, does she have to fix this guy too?
└But with Lim Yooil’s skills, he might be able to catch Abisor?
└Wow, my bro is back! Crush them spectacularly!
└Honestly I liked Lim Yoo-il lol It was so satisfying when he spoke his mind without any filter, right?
└If you troll inside the Gate you all die
Yui’s brow furrowed as he kept reading the comments. He irritably threw the phone onto the seat beside him.
“Cursing when I’m hiding, cursing when I come out to help. What a tiring life.”
At his annoyed muttering, Eunhae teasingly lowered her sunglasses slightly and met his eyes.
“Being a scapegoat was your specialty. Think of it as fan service after a long time.”
Lim Yooil pouted and closed his eyes, saying “Thanks for the reminder.”
Thanks to driving with sirens wailing, the car quickly arrived in front of Chuncheon Gate.
As the sedan came to a stop, Lim Yooil got out of the car.
He looked up at the Gate entrance and gaped in amazement.
“Wow, damn… this is incredible. What if my heart stops once I go in? Am I really supposed to go in there? Ah, I’m scared to death.”
Though his speech was the frivolous tone of someone marinated in internet communities, his eyes were coldly analyzing the mana flow of the Gate.
As Eunhae watched Yui limping around the Gate entrance in circles, examining it, heavy footsteps approached her.
It was Jinseong and Seondonguk, their expressions coldly hardened.
They had come out early to greet him upon hearing news of Lim Yooil’s arrival.
The two men looked at Yui with eyes full of wariness, while Yui merely glanced at them briefly without reacting.
