The Owner of the Healing Therapy Shop is World Rank 0

Chapter 86

At the same time, in the First Underground Parking Lot of Hunter Association Headquarters, stained with screams and explosions.

Between the massive concrete debris that had poured from the collapsed ceiling, a heart-wrenching cry echoed.

“Ean! Oppa, where are you! Please answer me! Eaaaan!”

Nairan, Ean’s younger sister who was in charge of transporting supplies for Sohee’s workshop, was in a miserable state.

Blood flowing from her head covered her face so she couldn’t even open one eye properly, and her fingertips were so mangled that flesh was exposed from digging through collapsed concrete with her bare hands.

She screamed among concrete chunks that easily weighed dozens of times her own body weight.

Her magic power had long since been depleted from fighting the unidentified enemies who had attacked them.

Having lost even her phone during the battle, all that remained for her was despair.

As time passed, the cracks in the ceiling widened and an ominous cracking sound could be heard, but Eran no longer had the strength to move even a finger.

“Ugh, please… please, someone help me!”

At that moment when hope was fading, it was Gangjinseong who appeared cutting through the darkness.

He had rushed to the Association out of concern for Ean’s safety after hearing news that a fake wearing Ean’s appearance had attacked Yebichnna’s store.

In a situation where rescue personnel were insufficient due to the Association building being bombed everywhere, Jinseong’s presence was salvation itself.

Jinseong’s ability to turn everything to dust was optimized for clearing debris.

He instantly decomposed the massive steel beams and concrete blocking the way into dust, then cut off oxygen to instantly extinguish the spreading flames.

Though his magic power fluctuated from continuous skill use, the buff from the employment contract he had made with Yebichnna constantly filled his circuits.

Jinseong caught the sound of Eran’s breathless voice from the underground parking lot entrance.

He advanced through the debris without hesitation, and Eran, upon discovering Jinseong, burst into tears she had been holding back and reached out her hand.

“Nairan!”

“Over there… under there is oppa… Ean is there!”

Having finished speaking, Eran coughed up blood as if unable to bear the pain and fainted.

Jinseong carefully reached out his hand.

If the skill’s range became too wide, even Ean buried under the debris could be annihilated.

Precisely controlled magic power carved away the concrete, but the revealed scene was horrific.

Ean’s lower body was crushed beyond recognition.

To make matters worse, the ceiling that had been barely hanging over the collapsed concrete pile swayed precariously.

Jinseong didn’t hesitate to sling Eran and Ean over both his shoulders.

Just before the ceiling completely collapsed, he ran toward the surface at storm-like speed.

Barely escaping through the dust cloud to the surface, Jinseong carefully laid the two people down on the ground.

“Healer…!”

Seoul was already a sea of fire, and all guilds and healers were fighting desperately at each scene.

“Don’t you have any more potions?!”

“I can’t do any more… please ask a high-level healer! I’m sorry!”

The healer who was there also seemed to have exhausted their magic power.

Even if he rushed to Seong Hospital now, the situation there wouldn’t be any different.

Jinseong gritted his teeth as he looked down at his own bloody hands.

A ray of light flashed through the mind of Jinseong, who had been standing in the pouring rain with a dazed expression.

Not the scene of Seong Hospital that had become hell on earth, nor the Association full of the smell of blood, but a store where warm orange light flickered.

And the face of one person there came to mind, someone who had created countless miracles so far.

‘If it’s Yebichnna, she can save Ean.’

Jinseong no longer hesitated.

He once again headed toward Yebichnna’s store through the storm.

Having briefly lost consciousness from the aftermath of the explosion, I slowly opened my eyes to the heavy and fluffy warmth I felt on my stomach.

“…Mimi? Ah!”

Soon after, as the situation from earlier came back to me, I bolted upright.

“Senior and…!”

Before I could finish speaking, Mimi beat me to it.

“The gate was successfully cleared and Gangjinseong and Seondonguk are perfectly fine. The guy who attacked earlier disappeared and Seoul is currently in chaos from terrorism. Right now Gangjinseong went out to look for Ean and Seondonguk is meditating in the lobby. And I’ve completely fixed the store.”

“…Uh, thanks.”

It was a concise yet detailed explanation.

I let out a sigh of relief and let my shoulders drop upon hearing that the two were fine. No, I almost let them drop.

What did I just hear?

“Seoul was hit by terrorism?”

“To be precise, Shin Sohee’s workshop, Shilla Guild development team, Matap Guild data center, and Sangseong Guild logistics warehouse.”

“…Could it be the work of that hunter who attacked earlier?”

“I don’t know. But they’re definitely using the same skill.”

“A hunter who handles explosives…”

I quietly asked while stroking Mimi’s soft fur.

“Mimi, but why didn’t the safe house passive work earlier? You said that inside the store, those with hostility get expelled and violence isn’t possible.”

Normally Mimi would have been full of pride in her abilities, but this time she flicked the tip of her tail with an uncomfortable expression.

“Even though the explosion happened outside the store so the skill activation couldn’t be perfect, I don’t understand how that impact could affect the inside of the store.”

“…”

“If it’s a ‘human,’ they would harbor even the slightest killing intent or hostility when attacking, but that attack contained no emotions whatsoever. It was just a mechanical attack so the system couldn’t recognize it as an ‘enemy.'”

“That’s impossible…”

The fact that even the safe house couldn’t become a complete fortress came as quite a shock.

“The system is set up to only counter attacks from living beings, so I think it needs some work.”

“So you’ll fix it right away?”

“I’ll put it up as a Quest reward. Even I can’t go against fairness.”

“…I’ll have to stick close to you until then.”

“I politely decline.”

I got up from my seat.

I couldn’t lie down any longer. I wanted to check the outside situation directly.

When I went out to the lobby, Seondonguk oppa, who had been sitting cross-legged recovering his magic power, greeted me with a warm smile.

“You’re awake? Are you hurt anywhere?”

“Yes, I’m fine. What about you, oppa… wait a moment.”

I took out one high-concentration ampoule from among the products filling the display case and approached oppa.

Then I gently applied the ampoule to the wound on his cheek.

As soon as the ampoule touched it, the deeply carved cut disappeared instantly like smoke.

Oppa touched his cheek with a surprised expression.

“To think one drop could do this much…”

I sat down next to oppa.

“I wonder if everyone is okay? I feel so heavy-hearted being the only one comfortably protected like this.”

“Everyone is protecting you because they want to. The Yebichnna Protectors were formed to be here at times like this.”

Oppa tried to lighten the mood with a playful laugh, but I couldn’t smile back.

Because I knew that the reason Ean and each guild and the Association were attacked was ultimately because of me.

Then, Seondonguk oppa suddenly stood up.

“Jinseong is coming.”

The store door opened and senior who burst in looked miserable.

On both his shoulders were the blood-covered Ean and the unconscious Eran.

I screamed in shock.

“Quickly move them to the bed over here! Oppa, please take out all the regeneration ampoules from the display case! Hurry!”

I frantically opened ampoules and poured them over Ean’s crushed legs and Eran’s wounds.

As the high-concentration ampoules touched them, flesh grew and external wounds sealed at a visibly rapid pace.

But more serious than the external injuries was the collapse of their magic circuits.

I didn’t hesitate and placed my hands on both of their chests.

[Skill Activated: Wave of Revival]

Magic power explosively burst forth from my fingertips.

I could feel the two people’s dying magic circuits being forcibly circulated again.

Before long, their unstable breathing stabilized, and Eran was the first to open her eyes slightly.

Only then did we let out the breath we had been holding.

I lifted my head with sweat beading on my face and looked straight at Senior.

“…Senior, there’s a severe shortage of Healer personnel outside right now, isn’t there? That’s why you came here.”

At my question, Jinseong Senior’s brow furrowed noticeably.

It was probably because he anticipated my intention in asking that.

Senior shook his head and grabbed my shoulder.

“It’s dangerous, Yebichnna. You know, just now they were targeting you…”

“No, Senior.”

I carefully but firmly pushed away Senior’s large hand.

Then I looked straight into Senior’s eyes and continued speaking.

“The fact that outside has become like that, and that these siblings ended up like this, it’s all because of me. I don’t want to just hide here like a fool.”

“Yebichnna…”

Seondonguk Oppa tried to dissuade me quietly, but I didn’t back down.

Something hot welled up from deep in my chest.

It might be guilt, or perhaps regret toward those who bled in my place.

“If I don’t go out now, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life. You two can just protect me like you did earlier.”

Silence flowed.

Senior seemed to spend a long time trying to read the stubbornness contained in my eyes.

“Part-timer, this is what you hired me for, isn’t it.”

When I smiled faintly, Senior finally let out a long sigh and nodded his head.

“Instead, don’t move even one step away from my side.”
