Chapter 26

Heal

Red dots gathered a lot on the board.

At least fifteen it looked.

What I recognized with the Detection skill.

Those guys, all owlbears.

‘Since fifteen gathered, it's understandable that they can't hold.’

I don't know what they did to gather, but.

The situation looked quite urgent.

It wasn't a situation to particularly ponder, and no need to ponder.

I immediately summoned flame and pushed in fire energy.

Kurururu···!!

Fire energy condensed in an instant.

Flame pushed in at high speed, and the sound of beasts howling rang out.

Flame Burst skill that has become quite familiar now.

Assuming an explosion of about 20m radius in feeling.

When it felt like the time, I threw the flame.

Flame Burst used for the first time after becoming level 120.

Just how much power will it be···?

Kuwaaaaaang!!!

“...Ugh.”

As expected, terrifying explosive power.

Even used lightly, fire energy that burst more fiercely than before.

I grabbed the flame spreading in all directions, and swept the surrounding owlbears.

Surroundings scorched in an instant.

Disappeared red dots.

Even black dots completely hid their traces.

Even surrounding corpses all burned.

Even so, the orange light on the board was the same.

I slowly approached that way.

“...My god.”

“Don't tell me that person···?”

“S-saved···!!”

Three hunters with relieved appearances.

An orange dot was stamped behind them.

Slightly tilting my head, a woman crouching and sitting was visible.

“Is she an injured person?”

“Yes? Ah···yes, that's right mage. She's our companion, the wound is deep so recovery with only potions has limits.”

A youth with a neat appearance scratching his head.

As expected.

Orange light meant an injured person.

The youth briefly explained the situation.

The tanker's injury that occurred from a momentary judgment mistake.

When the tanker who is the party's core power left the battlefield, naturally the advance slowed.

Owlbears started smelling blood, and the number increased in an instant, it was said.

I nodded.

“Please move aside.”

I approached and examined the woman.

Bizarrely thick arms and legs compared to the calm-looking face.

Tree fragments embedded here and there on the clothes.

It looked like remnants from a broken shield.

The injured part is the back.

Five huge claws dug through flesh and muscle and went out.

It seemed she allowed the back to the owlbear's pincer attack.

‘Since potions don't work, I should try using the Heal skill.’

The new holy attribute series skill Heal.

The representative skill of holy series awakeners.

A skill most frequently mentioned thanks to powerful healing power comparable to miracles, but the reason I have interest is separate.

Like I healed my body through the Wind of Healing skill.

Can't I accelerate recovery with the Heal skill.

If so, it would inevitably be perfect.

But there was a problem.

Because of the information obtained while scanning the community and archive.

──────────────────

[Verified][Information][Is self-heal really trash?]

Let's examine once.

First, the skill level where self-heal becomes possible is quite high.

As much as 7 level.

Below that, self-heal itself is completely impossible.

But like other skills.

Skill level 7 is damn hard to achieve.

Even if going around treating for free like a saintess in a novel, it would take 10 years.

But when becoming 7 level and using self-heal?

This efficiency is extremely bad again.

Mana is enormously consumed, but the actual healing power is poor.

Quoting an analysis of a US affiliated healer.

Heal (7LV) = 3% effect of lowest grade potion.

Heal (8LV) = 20% effect of lowest grade potion.

Heal (9LV) = 70% effect of lowest grade potion.

Oh.

Isn't the increase width steep?

That's correct.

But don't you think why I cut at 9LV?

That's the end.

Even the world's highest level holy attribute awakeners, 9 level Heal is the end!

Even such terrifying awakeners, at least in self-heal, can't even produce the effect of the lowest grade potion.

Today's conclusion.

Even geniuses gave up.

Naturally you can't.

Self-heal is trash, so don't even think of using it.

End.

──────────────────

“...”

The conclusion is disappointing.

But the steep recovery increase effect according to level was good news for me.

With the Transcendence trait, I should be able to jump to 20 level in one go.

Moreover, it was also a good opportunity for each other.

The woman recovers the injury.

I raise the skill level.

Mutual aid or something?

Shall I try once.

I brought my hand close to the claw marks deeply dug in the back, and used the Heal skill.

The mana consumption amount was never small.

Like when the cursed heart sucks mana, intense lethargy wrapped the whole body.

I heard awakeners using mana, not holy power, basically have high consumption values, and it seemed true.

Suddenly subtle holy light leaked from the palm.

Silver energy that softly settled on the wound, flesh slightly healed.

Exactly up to there.

The youth examining my appearance shook his head.

“The mage would know better, but wounds that potions don't properly work on can't be recovered with ordinary healing items. Anyway, transporting as quickly as possible seems the best method but···.”

Letting the youth's words go in one ear for a while.

The awaited message floated up.

···

..

.

[Heal (LV20) skill has reached the maximum level]

I brought my hand close again.

Used the skill around the just healed wound.

Hwaak!!

Suddenly.

Dazzling holy light incomparable to just now filled the front.

Unrealistically bright light.

But bizarrely the eyes didn't dazzle.

Rather a feeling of one corner of the chest warming.

Change came in an instant.

Ssss···.

Light that settled on the wound.

Incomparably intense than when level 1.

Every time holy light passed, blood stopped, and even the wound healed in an instant.

An enormous miracle unbelievable even seeing right in front.

All the awakeners watching opened their mouths wide.

I was also surprised the same.

The appearance of new flesh filling the empty space was wonder itself.

Like that time flowed for a while.

In the end, the perfectly healed wound.

The youth clicked his tongue and asked.

“M···my god. Enormous. Just how high-level healing equipment do you have···?”

Hmm.

It's a skill not equipment.

There was a slight misunderstanding, but it was natural.

A situation of refreshingly blowing away owlbears with Flame Burst.

In their recognition, I would be a flame series mage.

They wouldn't even imagine learning a holy attribute skill.

Instead of particularly explaining, I indifferently asked.

“Are you going to zone 1?”

“Th···that's right.”

The youth who barely took his eyes off the cleanly healed wound.

With an 'ah' expression, he jumped up and deeply bowed his head.

“The thanks greeting was late. Thank you so much for helping, sincerely thank you!”

Companions bowing their heads following.

Everyone looked polite and kind.

I indifferently said toward the youth.

“I'll lead. Please follow comfortably.”

#

“Kueueueueu!!!”

Two owlbears charged full of spirit.

The bodies of the awakeners following behind shrinking from tension is felt.

···Of course not me.

Kwaaak!

I grabbed the owlbear's ankle with the earth's shackle.

Fellows flustered by the sudden ambush.

While losing balance and collapsing to the floor with a thud, a lightly flying Fireball struck the guy's head.

Whoosh!

Two owlbears refreshingly burn.

Only then did the awakeners behind let out sighs of relief.

The team leader youth approached and lightly asked.

“My god···I thought it was strange seeing absurd firepower, but I didn't even think you mastered the flame series.”

···Hmm.

Strictly speaking, not yet mastered.

Since there was little difference, I didn't particularly deny.

“By the way, why are you walking to zone 1? You can move with the portal···.”

The youth's question continued, but I didn't respond.

Whether he had some sense, the conversation soon cut.

Everyone moved silently.

After nodding at the awakened woman's thanks greeting during movement, only the owlbear's scream sounds filled the labyrinth.

The remaining distance decreased in an instant.

Not long after, a huge castle wall appeared far away.

Labyrinth zone 1.

Labyrinth city Naktramass.

“Then I'll go first.”

At this point, it didn't seem greatly dangerous.

No red dots were visible on the board either.

Confirming the tanker recovered, I started moving separately.

Ah.

According to the industry tradition, I received the business card.

After leaving the awakeners' sight, I moved the body with Mana Thread.

At first it was a role of assisting movement.

But for fast movement, efficiency is much better than directly using the body.

Moving like that for a while.

At some point, the castle wall approached.

People swarmed at the castle gate entrance, and a huge blue gate was open in front.

It was a portal.

I slowly approached and placed my hand close to the portal.

[Portal map activates]

Along with the message, two lights floated in the head.

One is the portal zone on the labyrinth entrance side.

The other is here now.

Labyrinth zone 1, Naktramass.

“Huu···.”

I let out a sigh and raised my head.

A castle wall of enormous height.

Well-armed guards holding spears stood below it.

A huge labyrinth city representing a kind of medieval era.

A space where awakeners and labyrinth residents mixed.

I decided to postpone stopping by here for a while.

The spirit thread that became quite taut at some point.

Today this was enough.

Wooong!

I moved steps into the portal.

Opening my eyes, the portal zone.

People are full the same as when leaving.

I immediately turned around and headed to the lobby.

The male staff member bureaucratically bowed his head.

[380 points are deducted]

Earned points total 3800.

Less than when finding mithril, or dealing with the snow wood monster.

Similar points to when sweeping thousands of kobolds.

Definitely acquired points refreshingly increase according to the monster's level.

If able to steadily grow only in this way from now on, there seemed nothing to greatly worry about.

“Thank you for your dedication to the country.”

Like that, inside the returned hotel room.

I immediately checked the body state.

There was no misfortune like sensation disappearing, but it didn't seem improved more either.

I sat leaning my back above the bed.

Placed my hand on the heart and used the Heal skill.

Hwaak!

Dazzling light burst out.

Pure white holy light permeated inside the skin.

“Kkeu···.”

At the same time.

Enormous pain surged.

“Kkeu, kkeuheuk···!!”

I opened my eyes wide.

Pain as if crushing the flesh of the whole body with a hammer.

Pain as if stamping each cell inside the body with an awl, and slicing with a sharp knife wrapped the whole body.

Is this right?

I urgently tried to recover the holy power.

Unlike fire energy that moved according to will, holy power didn't budge and arbitrarily roamed the body.

“Kuaaaaaaaak!!!!”

In the end unable to endure, a scream popped out of the mouth.

The whole body trembling like electrocuted.

Bizarre pain as if burning the nerves of the whole body with electricity.

A bright yellow flame popped up before my eyes.

In the end unable to overcome the terrible pain, I fainted as is.

#

Saaaaa···.

I opened my eyes to the blowing wind.

Blink, blink.

I feel the eyelids moving up and down.

‘What happened?’

I turned my head.

The wind blowing through the slightly open window is cool.

I slowly raised my body.

The feeling of muscles supporting the body was somehow awkward.

I walked out of the bed.

The smoothness of the tile floor coolly brushed the soles.

I walked to the window and looked outside.

Confirming the disorderly appearance of Daerim-dong, memories slowly floated up.

Ah.

Business hotel.

Memories connected.

Car accident and parents' death.

8 years of pain and awakening, and escape.

Tower and labyrinth.

And···.

“My god.”

I raised my arm and moved my fingers.

Still awkward movement.

I groped the body here and there, and walked various places in the room.

Carefully tried stretching, and lightly jumped.

Bent the waist forward and back, and slowly lifted the sofa table.

“...”

Came back.

Not perfect.

But it seemed at a level to lead daily life without Mana Thread's help.

Of course I know well that it's not perfect yet.

Leading daily life even with an awakener's body is the most.

Strictly speaking, the body was still a mess.

But even so, the corners of the mouth rose.

What does it matter.

The current immediate lack is not important to me.

I overcame times where not a single point of hope was visible and came here.

If only the possibility of improvement is visible, I can overcome this level of difficulty anytime.

So, how much time has passed...?

I checked the phone.

A text had come from Yu Seo-ha.

[Seonghan-nim! Finally a designated request came in, would you like to check once!?(smile smile)]

A smile came at the cute emoticon.

I immediately replied.

[I'll go now]
