The Owner of the Healing Therapy Shop is World Rank 0

Chapter 117

“It’s coming!”

Jinseong’s sharp cry broke the silence.

The hunters, who had gone through hundreds of simulations, moved in perfect unison.

At the very front stood Seondonguk with his shield and massive hammer, and Feng Hao unleashing wind-cutting punches.

Behind them, Jinseong and Edward took their positions, along with Bitna, who was the core of this operation.

At the very back, the healer team preparing area heals and Yui, who needed to preserve his sonic mobility completely, waited on standby.

Alice and Ran Ran took charge of magical support from the flanks.

“Push forward!”

Seondonguk roared as he planted his shield into the ground.

The moment ‘Absolute Barrier’ deployed, Abisor’s massive front paw struck the barrier hard.

Bang—!

“Now’s the time!”

Absolute zero cold air erupted from the tip of Edward’s staff, freezing Abisor’s ankle solid.

Taking advantage of the creature’s slowed movements, Ohyeongtaek leaped into the air.

The blue wind wrapped around his greatsword swept like a storm, slashing at Abisor’s flank.

“Wind Fist Barrage!”

Feng Hao’s fists struck Abisor’s face at invisible speed.

Kwang, kwang!

With each impact sound, Abisor’s head jerked backward.

When Ran Ran’s support magic was added, the hunters’ attack power doubled.

On top of that, when Jinseong unusually targeted only the gaps between the creature’s scales to chip away at its defense, Abisor let out a pained scream.

Hope lit up in the team members’ eyes.

This was different from last time when they were helplessly overwhelmed by the crushing power difference.

Little by little, very little by little, Abisor’s health was being whittled away.

However, in that fierce battlefield, only one person, Alice, was not giving her all.

She was constantly unleashing skills, but her magical support timing was consistently off.

-Alice! You need to inject mana now! What are you doing!

Even at Ran Ran’s urgent cry, Alice stared into the void.

In her ears, Chris’s voice from last night’s darkness echoed like a hallucination.

‘My Seongnyeo, I cannot tolerate mistakes.’

In Alice’s embrace was the bizarre purple orb she had received from Chris.

She fidgeted with the orb with trembling hands.

“The scales are breached!”

At that moment, Jinseong’s cry announced the climax of the operation.

Through the concentrated attacks of all dealers, one piece of the hardest black scales near Abisor’s nape had finally shattered.

Beneath the scales, the creature’s magical core could be seen pulsing red.

In that instant, Yui, who had been waiting, moved like lightning.

He firmly lifted Bitna’s slender waist into his arms.

“Stay alert. It’ll be troublesome if you pass out.”

Before Yui could finish speaking with a grin, the surrounding scenery distorted.

Swoooosh—!

At speeds exceeding the sound barrier, Bitna felt pressure as if every bone in her body was being crushed.

Thanks to the multiple layers of barriers and protective gear she had prepared, her body avoided rupturing, but the brain-shaking pain made her consciousness fade.

But she gritted her teeth.

The moment Yui set her down on Abisor’s nape, precisely at the spot where the scales had fallen, Bitna reached out while coughing roughly.

“Haa, haa…!”

^[Skill Activation: Paradox Recovery]^

All the mana Bitna could pour out flowed like a waterfall into Abisor’s core.

Kwaaaaang—!

Blinding white radiance filled the entire Gate, bright enough to cause vision loss.

Abisor’s massive body began convulsing and collapsing.

The hunters watching from below cheered in triumph.

Success. With this level of output, no monster should be able to withstand it.

That’s when it happened.

Taking advantage of everyone’s attention being focused on Abisor and Bitna, Alice crushed the purple orb in her embrace.

The moment the pitch-black smoke escaped from the orb and spread through the air, the dying Abisor’s eyes instantly turned blood red.

[Warning: Boss Monster receives ‘Blessing of the Abyss’ and enters berserk mode!]

[Pattern ignored! Magical output increased by 300%!]

“What, what?! Why is it reviving!”

Seondonguk raised his shield in shock, but it was already too late.

When the berserk Abisor swung its massive wings, the wind pressure alone sent Yui and Bitna flying through the air.

Red mana swirled around the creature’s neck area, and soon its massive mouth opened wide.

It was that breath of despair they had seen during the first raid attempt.

“Get away—!”

Jinseong’s cry was drowned out by Abisor’s roar.

Kwarrrrrr—!

Red flashes that vaporized the earth swept over the hunters.

In her fading consciousness, Bitna saw Jinseong’s arms wrapping around her and the silhouettes of her screaming companions.

And soon everything went black.

“Ugh! Huk… huk!”

Bitna screamed as she opened her eyes.

Before her eyes was Chuncheon’s murky sky.

The smell of blood still lingered in her mouth, and her heart was pounding as if it would burst.

Death. That sensation of her entire body burning just moments ago was no illusion.

“Bitna! Bitna, are you okay? Try to focus!”

Sister, with a haggard face and tears streaming down, grabbed Bitna’s shoulders and shook her.

Bitna slowly turned her unfocused eyes to look at Sister.

The first words she managed to utter through her trembling lips were not about herself.

“Sister… Sister, are you okay?”

“You fool! Is that what matters right now? You almost died!”

Sister finally burst into tears and pulled Bitna into an embrace.

Bitna smiled faintly and patted Sister’s back.

“If Sister is okay… then I’m okay too.”

Bitna’s gaze soon turned toward the Gate entrance.

Please, with desperate hope she looked up at the Gate.

As expected, above the Gate entrance, two of the three eyes were already closed.

“In the end…”

Two failures. Now there was only one chance left.

The surroundings were chaos.

The hunters who had been thrown out together were rolling on the ground, coughing up blood or letting out death rattles.

Due to overexerting themselves to the point of burning their mana circuits to catch Abisor, none of the hunters were in normal condition.

“Aaaaah! Damn it!”

-Healer! Call a healer!

Yui and Feng Hao screamed for help.

The Association healers on standby rushed over, but they soon shook their heads with despairing expressions.

“W-we can’t handle this with our skills. The mana poisoning levels have exceeded the critical point and the circuits themselves have burned out…!”

At those words, everyone’s gaze focused on one place.

It was Alice, sitting blankly on the ground.

This was because she had heard that directly injecting Seongnyeo’s holy water into a hunter’s body could stop magical power poisoning.

“Seongnyeo! Seongnyeo! Please use your skill!”

A healer who couldn’t bear it any longer grabbed Alice’s shoulders and shook her violently.

But Alice looked back at them with empty eyes and let out a weak, bitter laugh.

“I’m no longer the Seongnyeo, you know.”

“What? What do you mean…!”

“It’s beyond my abilities. I barely survived myself, so what do you expect me to do?”

Alice’s cold words made the surroundings fall silent as if cold water had been poured over them.

At that moment, one of the employees carrying stretchers for the hunters approached and loaded Alice onto one.

Alice silently lay on the stretcher and gazed up at the Sky.

“Ha, this is fucked.”

Just as she was letting out a deep breath, trying to forget the terrible actions she had committed.

She casually looked at the face of the employee moving her and swallowed dryly.

Alice’s body trembled slightly.

This was because the employee looked down at Alice and whispered in a low voice that no one else could hear.

“You’ve worked hard, my Seongnyeo.”

The man with his cap pulled down low was none other than Chris.

Alice clasped her trembling hands together and squeezed her eyes shut.

At Alice’s statement, the scene was engulfed in shock.

They had never heard such irresponsible attitude and words from Alice before.

“What is this…”

“If there’s no Seongnyeo…”

Everyone swallowed hard and looked toward either Ran Ran or Yebichnna.

But Ran Ran was embracing Feng Hao, who was crying out in pain while dragging his immobile legs.

In the end, the only one they could rely on was Yebichnna.
