The Owner of the Healing Therapy Shop is World Rank 0

Chapter 115

The training ground was truly a scene of chaos.

Every time Yui moved at a speed impossible to follow with the eyes, the terrain features made of virtual data crumbled helplessly.

Bang—! Kwaaaaang!

When he threw his fist toward Abisor’s phantom, a sharp tearing sound like air being ripped apart could be heard. It wasn’t simply delivering a blow.

Air was being sucked terrifyingly into the vacuum space that formed momentarily where he had passed, and that pressure was condensing and causing explosions.

“Hahaha! Fucking awesome!”

He burst into maniacal laughter and accelerated once more, stepping on the air.

A sonic boom shook the entire training ground.

Even Seondonguk oppa and Jinseong senior, who were watching from afar, clicked their tongues.

“He seems even faster than before.”

“…Since he got a new circuit, he’d be energetic like when he first awakened. Should I ask to have a new circuit made for me too?”

At Seondonguk’s words, Jinseong looked at him.

The two men who made eye contact burst into laughter.

A few hours earlier, Incheon International Airport.

Among the countless crowds, one man walked out with a particularly alien atmosphere.

His curly brown hair swayed lightly with each step, and his eyes, nestled cutely on his snow-white skin, reminded one of a gentle large dog.

It was Chris, a man with a youthful appearance that would make anyone exclaim “cute” at first sight.

It was the very moment he was constantly looking around at the well-equipped facilities of the arrival hall.

“…!”

Chris’s head whipped around as if he had been electrocuted.

The place he stared at was northeast, precisely in the direction of Chuncheon, Gangwon-do.

Beyond the airport’s exhaust fumes and people’s noise, a ‘massive wave’ that ordinary hunters could never feel struck his senses.

It was neither Gate magic nor ordinary human magic.

It was an explosion of life force that defied the laws, something Gates so detested and wanted to eliminate.

It was the very moment when Yebichnna was pouring the ‘Wave of Regeneration’ skill into Yui’s circuit, releasing tremendous magic power.

“Heeh… This much, you say?”

Chris widened his eyes, then soon wore a mischievous smile on his lips.

In his spinning, laughing eyes flashed a strange gleam that didn’t match his cute appearance.

The superhuman senses he had gained in exchange for making a contract with the Gate and handing over ‘half the world’ were whispering Yebichnna’s exact location to him.

“How pitiful. Such a pretty and strong light, yet it must be extinguished soon.”

It was when he was about to move forward, muttering quietly.

“Ex, excuse me! Sorry, but…”

A female college student approached with a flushed face and called out to him cautiously.

She seemed to have gathered courage to ask for his number, having fallen for Chris with his snow-white skin and cute face.

Chris stopped for a moment, then answered in broken Korean with the most benevolent-looking smile in the world.

“Ah, sorry, sorry. I have girlfriend. Sorry!”

At his cheeky refusal while waving both hands, the woman stamped her feet regretfully.

Chris passed by them and walked out of the airport while running his hand through his hair.

“Phew. I’m still not dead, me. Korean women’s eyes are really accurate, aren’t they?”

It was an incredibly light attitude for someone who had been emanating murderous aura just moments before.

He headed toward the taxi stand, humming a tune.

The taxi carrying Chris, a man who knew the most classified secrets of the World Hunter Association, sped up toward Chuncheon.

Mimi sat motionlessly, staring intently at the Gate.

Though she appeared languid as usual, the wariness contained in her yellow eyes was sharpened more keenly than ever.

That’s when it happened.

The fur on Mimi’s back stood up all at once as if electrified.

Her drooping tail swung violently left and right, tapping the floor.

Mimi’s head snapped up toward the western sky where Incheon Airport was located.

She had detected an alien energy from there that was unbelievable for a human.

“…They’ve made something quite disgusting.”

Mimi looked up at the Gate and muttered quietly through her teeth.

Her voice dripped with undisguisable disgust.

The fishy smell of those who had abandoned their human souls. It was like a nauseating stench that went against the natural order.

Mimi instinctively sensed that the owner of that energy had come targeting Yebichnna.

“Tsk.”

Mimi immediately headed toward the workshop where Yebichnna was.

She intended to tell her to abandon the Gate conquest and return to the Mapo District Store.

But before she could even reach the workshop threshold, explosive magic power burst out from inside.

Yebichnna had cast Wave of Regeneration.

Mimi’s steps stopped abruptly.

Yebichnna’s powerful magic spread through the air, and simultaneously the Gate’s entrance rippled greatly like a hungry beast.

Mimi turned her head to look at the Gate again.

The more Yebichnna used her magic, the clearer a signpost it would become for ‘that bastard’ who had just entered the country.

Moreover, the Gate wouldn’t miss this strong signal either.

Mimi glared at the Gate with flashing yellow eyes.

“…Is it already too late?”

Mimi clicked her tongue briefly and felt Yebichnna’s energy as she gave her all inside the workshop.

“This won’t be easy.”

Mimi muttered lowly and looked alternately between the west and the Gate once more.

When Yui came out of the training ground, we entered into a full-scale strategy meeting.

Though he was still swaggering, Yui didn’t object to my words or use threatening tones.

Everyone seemed surprised by the change. I was too.

“Lim Yooil’s skill is the only means that can keep up with Abisor’s sonic movement.”

At the thought that Abisor’s movement speed, which had been the biggest headache, could be solved thanks to Yui, the team’s morale was boosted.

“The strategy I’m thinking of… is for all team members to launch a total attack on the nape, precisely the scale where the magic core is located. And—”

I swallowed and looked at Yui.

“The moment that scale is pierced, Yui needs to carry me and reach that point. I’ll directly touch the monster’s core and inject my skill.”

When I finished speaking, silence flowed.

Jinseong senior frowned and asked.

“Carrying Yebichnna and moving at sonic speed? Do you think your body can withstand that acceleration?”

“That’s why we’ll layer Sohee’s protective barrier items and Seondonguk oppa’s barriers to envelop me. And Yui needs to use air barriers to minimize the shock applied to me.”

“Yebichnna, no matter how many items you wrap around yourself, you can’t completely offset the shock…”

Then Yui interrupted senior’s words.

“You trust me? If something goes wrong, your body might burst like a balloon.”

He rested his chin on his hand and looked at me with a grin.

I didn’t avoid his gaze and responded equally.

“I have to trust you. I’m the one who fixed you.”

“Aha, treat me well because I’m your benefactor?”

At my firm answer, Yui chuckled and shrugged his shoulders.

The strategy was perfect in theory.

But no one could guarantee success.

A strategy requiring us to climb onto the back of a monster moving at sonic speed and precisely inject a skill in less than 0.1 seconds.

This was a gamble impossible without not only the hunters’ skills but also absolute trust in each other.

“But… no one knows what will happen when actually applied. My strategy might not be the best.”

It was sincere words spoken with difficulty.

There was an uneasiness in a corner of my heart that the strategy I had assumed might not work.

“But right now, there’s no other way to catch Abisor.”

At Seondonguk’s words, the team members nodded one by one.

Yui stood up from his seat, stretched, and said.

“Alright, since you’re my benefactor, I should serve you well. Anyone want to coordinate with me?”

The strategy was decided. Now all that remained was actual combat.

I looked at the Gate Entrance with its two gleaming eyes and slowly took a deep breath.
