Tone-Deaf Healer Kills with Song – Episode 176
There was no time to exchange pleasantries with people, check equipment, or do any of that.
The moment the Gate opened, we rushed in as if we’d been waiting for this very instant.
Dizziness and faint nausea washed over me, just like when there’s a powerful teleport backlash.
The Valkyrie Network confirms the second calamity suppression attempt on Earth.
Activating protective protocol for Awakened protection.
Breathing within the Dungeon becomes smooth.
Vision is secured regardless of light source availability.
Movement speed increases by 20%.
Additional effects are granted when set items are equipped.
Countless windows flooded into our vision.
Baldur had prepared everything for this moment alone.
Even though they were merely system windows, I felt a sense of mission to execute everything perfectly for the Awakened.
The moment we fully entered the Dungeon, unfamiliar figures stood beside us.
Baldur grants sacred power release correction effects to all Assigned Staff Members of the Awakened.
Restrictions on avatar manifestation are lifted.
All cache data required for this is consumed by the Valkyrie Network instead.
The Assigned Staff Members, who until now existed only as dolls or small symbols, now stood beside the Awakened in the form of perfect living beings.
Rosalind Brown’s Assigned Staff Member, taking the form of a burning bird, flew protectively behind her back.
Sung Ji-wook’s Assigned Staff Member, whose entire body was made of constellations, engaged him in light conversation.
Tigers, pixies, nine-tailed foxes, and countless others were with us.
“Those standing alone…”
“People who lost their Assigned Staff Members, whether at the hands of a Staff Member killer or for other reasons. Yet they still stepped forward to fight Ragnarok.”
Dante answered in a calm voice, his gaze fixed ahead.
Purple smoke, clearly toxic, filled our vision.
“Pene!”
Before I could even think of a countermeasure, Rosalind Brown’s sharp magical power sliced through the air.
With a sharp whistling sound that seemed to cut through the void, Pene flapped her wings forcefully in that direction.
Despite the considerable distance, flames erupted with such intense heat that my face felt like it would burn.
The smoke split in half like the parting of the Red Sea before that overwhelming force.
“Dante!”
As Rosalind Brown mounted Pene and soared into the air, Dante shook his head.
“I wonder who she takes after, acting so recklessly.”
Dozens of brilliant guns materialized in midair, followed by a dazzling barrage of gunfire.
Golden bullets pierced through the split gap, creating a powerful wind.
After taking the strong wind in my face several times, my hair whipping around, the changed landscape finally came into view.
The toxic fog was blocked by sacred flames and a massive wall erected with green magical power, unable to advance further.
And the vast space carved out by the bullets.
I was momentarily overwhelmed.
“I’ll confirm the composition.”
A hunter stepped forward and began surveying the surroundings.
He possessed the ability to comprehend the internal space, allowing him to discern not only the structure but also the terrain.
“The space is divided into four quadrants. The composition consists of the Ice Zone, the Monster Wave Zone where endless waves occur, the Curse Zone with debuffs, and the Unconfirmed Zone.”
“If it’s a Curse Zone, there’s a high probability that Pandora is located there.”
Nia murmured with a somewhat regretful tone.
“If it’s the Unconfirmed Zone, it’s probably So Yi-yoon—the boss area.”
As I spoke my conjecture, people nodded in agreement.
“However, to properly enter the Dungeon, we’ll need to destroy that wall.”
The one who analyzed the terrain pointed ahead.
Until now, I hadn’t properly perceived it, but a wall so towering that jumping over it was unimaginable came into view.
Could it even be called a wall?
“There’s no door at all.”
Those who had closed the distance first shook their heads.
Some cast skills, but only managed to leave scratches and minor cracks.
“If we take some time, I believe we can create an opening large enough to pass through.”
“How much time?”
“If Hunter Dante, Hunter Ye-ah, and Hunter Jung Hwan lend their strength, fifteen minutes should suffice.”
“Yes, I’ll go right away.”
With such a substantial number of people, we needed to create a space large enough for ten to pass through at once.
Since we had analyzed the elemental properties likely present within the Dungeon and divided teams in advance, we could split up quickly.
Then a system window appeared, arriving a moment late.
The set effect of Terraforming Ring (S) is applied.
The magical power of Awakened Yeom Ye-ah and Awakened Jung Hwan is amplified.
Due to the effect of the Terraforming Ring, all debuffs possessed are nullified while remaining within the designated area.
I turned my head with a flustered expression.
Anyway, he and I were planned to move together since he’s a dedicated healer and I’m an attacker.
But to create such an obvious reason to keep us so close together.
Jung Hwan-jae gazed into empty space as if seeing the same screen as me.
Lucy shrugged his shoulders.
“Being next to Yeom Ye-ah makes one feel spiritually fulfilled—how romantic.”
“What are you talking about? Stop joking around. Just break the wall.”
Sung Mi-ju approached while grumbling.
Beside Sung Mi-ju stood a woman with striking green hair pinned up and wearing sunglasses.
The appearance of her leather rider jacket and motorcycle was quite impressive.
“We could help open the door, but since we don’t know when or where holy power might be needed, we decided to conserve it.”
Her cheerful tone was remarkably similar to Sung Mi-ju’s.
After nagging a few more times to hurry up and help break the wall, she climbed onto the back seat of the Assigned Staff Member’s motorcycle.
“What if we just rammed it with the motorcycle? Wouldn’t it break?”
“That’s a good idea. Should we give it a try?”
They were discussing something ominous as if it were nothing.
The atmosphere felt like they were really about to do something reckless, and my heart began to race.
They seemed like the type who would laugh and say it was fun even if their bodies shattered in the process.
As I moved forward, I heard Jung Hwan-jae’s voice.
“Ye-ah, could you perhaps have the people trying to break the wall move aside?”
“Pardon?”
“Tell them to step back, away from the wall.”
“Ah, yes.”
I didn’t know why, but he wouldn’t ask me to do something without good reason.
He was someone who would never do anything that could harm us.
I nodded and gathered strength in my core.
Green mana burst forth into the air in an instant, swirling around the people nearby.
“Move back!”
My voice rang out like a massive speaker, sharp and piercing. Even I winced at the sound.
Those who had been focused on breaking the wall with their abilities unleashed looked up in surprise.
“Let me say it again. Step away from the wall.”
I quickly shifted to a gentler tone and touched them with my mana.
Everyone immediately retreated from the wall.
I could have forced them back with brute strength, but these were people who would listen if I asked. Why resort to that?
I didn’t want to be unnecessarily violent.
“Is that good?”
“Thank you for trusting me.”
Jung Hwan-jae looked at me and smiled gently.
Of course. If I didn’t trust him, who would?
I nodded, and he stepped back a few paces before summoning his scythe.
“Want some help?”
Jung Hwan-jae shook his head at Lucy’s question, which was clearly just a formality, and looked ahead.
“No need? Then we’re good.”
Lucy’s words carried a hint of laughter. Then, just a few seconds passed.
Jung Hwan-jae’s scythe cut through the air.
It was a silent motion, without even the sound of wind.
Then another second.
A crimson light flashed across my vision like lightning.
I’d seen countless lights before, but nothing on this scale.
The wall began to collapse with a deafening roar that felt like it would tear my ears apart.
Even in a state of mana depletion, the one holding the rank one position had broken free from the debuff’s shackles.
…
It was a reflexive action as debris began to rain down on the people.
I stretched out my hand and released my mana.
The debris that had been scattering in all directions instantly turned to dust and scattered away.
“My Awakener doesn’t even give me time to ask if they need help.”
I heard Liri’s voice brimming with unmistakable pride.
A wall bisected with perfect symmetry, its fragments vanished without a trace.
The result of two people’s strength alone. Those who had been watching the situation with even more bewildered expressions fell silent.
“That was impressive, senior.”
“I could only do it because you were by my side.”
It was technically the ring’s auxiliary effect, but somehow I felt embarrassed.
Flustered, I averted my gaze.
And Sung Ji-wook, who had been struggling at the front to break through the wall, turned toward us.
Covered head to toe in dust and dirt, he cried out in frustration.
“If you could do it, why didn’t you do it sooner!”
