The Late Game Healer Is Way Too Strong – Chapter 175

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟕𝟓: 𝐒-𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐬’ 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 1

The azure torrent of mana that filled his body without any gaps.

The eyes of the rankers who were watching their duel shone with a strange light.

They felt a solid mana that they wouldn’t have expected from a rookie Hunter with little experience.

With that level of skill, he wouldn’t be out of place if he was brought into a Gate right now.

Siwoo also had a slightly surprised look on his face when he saw Choi Kang-yul’s mana.

‘𝘏𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘥. 𝘚𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺.’

Just looking at his basic mana manipulation, his skills were as good as Min-jun’s in the past.

So, how much destructive power and staying power would his mana have?

Siwoo opened his dantian and pulled out a handful of mana.

Choi Kang-yul grimaced.

The amount of mana that anyone could see was clearly small and insignificant.

Perhaps a person with mediocre skills would have seen it as a C-rank level of power.

However, Choi Kang-yul didn’t let his guard down.

He knew that Siwoo was a strong person and that he wasn’t a fool who would do something reckless against him.

If he were that kind of person, so many rankers wouldn’t have followed him.

Choi Kang-yul attacked without being conscious of the amount of mana he felt from his opponent.

Even if it was an overestimation, there was no way he would lose to someone who had underestimated him.

Siwoo smiled inwardly when he saw Choi Kang-yul’s attack.

He would have been disappointed if he had fallen for something like this.

Pwwwwaaaahhhhh!!

With the sound of air bursting, Choi Kang-yul’s side kick shook Siwoo’s hair.

Normally, his opponent’s posture would have collapsed as soon as he dodged, but Choi Kang-yul didn’t falter and immediately changed his footwork to attack Siwoo again.

His footwork was very smooth and well-connected.

Siwoo smiled faintly and quickly bent his body to attack the foot that was the axis of his opponent’s body.

Paaaaaaaah!!

“Ugh!”

Choi Kang-yul’s body staggered.

Seizing the gap, Siwoo quickly punched his opponent in the side.

A heavy body blow landed, and Choi Kang-yul’s face contorted in pain.

If people who didn’t know Siwoo had seen this, they would have thought it was ridiculous.

There was a clear difference in the amount of mana, and he was responding to Choi Kang-yul’s thick mana with a pathetically thin mana.

Everyone would have called it recklessness, not courage.

However, Siwoo’s attack pierced Choi Kang-yul’s mana too easily and dug into his body.

“Urghhhhh. . .!”

Choi Kang-yul grabbed his side and stumbled backward.

“Did you gain your combat experience at the Academy? Your instincts are better than I expected. A bit more, and it would have been fine.”

“Haha! It seems like my attacks aren’t. . . landing at all. . .”

“If it were someone other than me, they might have landed a little? Don’t worry about it, I’m just really good at close combat.”

Choi Kang-yul’s words weren’t much of a consolation, but he could understand what Siwoo meant.

“And by the way, can I see your skill? If you don’t want to show it in front of others, you can show it to me when we go into the Gate.”

“Oh, no. I can show it to you, but. . .”

“But why?”

“I’m not very good at controlling my skill yet. . .”

“Hmm.”

Siwoo tilted his head from side to side.

He couldn’t bring himself to say, ‘I see. Then let’s see it next time.’

“It’s okay, just show me. I need to see what kind of skill it is before I can give you any guidance.”

“Well, if you say so.”

Choi Kang-yul hesitated for a moment.

In fact, he had used his skill a few times since he had acquired it, but because he had never learned it, he couldn’t properly control its power.

He had barely managed to offset its power by using the tank and support Hunters among the graduates.

‘𝘗𝘩𝘦𝘸.’

Choi Kang-yul decided to trust Siwoo.

The belief that this person would be able to stop him even if his skill went berserk put his mind at ease.

He opened his dantian completely.

Feeling the surge of mana throughout every corner of his body, Choi Kang-yul slowly recalled the skill he had acquired.

A huge circle formed, covering his entire body.

Numerous magic formulas lined up densely.

Strokes and figures, figures and symbols, symbols and characters intertwined to form a magic circuit, and mana raced along those lines.

Soon, a vivid green light began to shine brightly.

[Celadon Flower: Seven Flower Petals]

A fresh, vibrant energy of life burst forth from Choi Kang-yul’s dantian and overwhelmed the surroundings.

“This is. . . amazing.”

Do Kyung-hoo muttered involuntarily, his eyes wide with excitement.

He had wondered how impressive a skill a newbie could use, but. . . when he finally saw it, it was a [mythical realm] skill, which was rare even among Awakened.

An ability that borrowed the power of a being close to a ‘god’ that appeared in myths, legends, and folktales.

Because it was even harder to find than a [mythical realm] skill, it was not only difficult to find a Hunter who possessed the skill but even rarer to find one who could fully utilize its power.

However, if one could handle it, it was a transcendental ability that could display a power stronger than any other skill.

Therefore, people with [mythical realm] skills were not in the middle ranks but mostly held the position of high rankers.

Typical examples were China’s Heavenly King, Kenya’s Kiplagat, and Germany’s Rocky, who were all [Mythical Realm] skill users.

And the closest example was Siwoo’s disciple, Lo-an, who used [Jade Emperor].

“Here I go.”

Choi Kang-yul glared and charged towards Siwoo.

A deep blue spread across his two arms.

Siwoo spread his mana thinly and quickly weaved it together to build a solid shield in an instant.

The fist of the Jeju Island medieval god, [Celadon Flower], slammed into the shield as if it would shatter it.

Zheeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeng!!

An incredible roar swept through the area.

The clash of two powerful mana created a small gust of wind.

“What the hell is so strong?”

Min Si-joon muttered to himself, his face full of disbelief.

“Hunter Do Kyung-hoo was right. . .? Should I worry about being overtaken?”

Kang Yeo-hwa, who was listening next to him, rubbed her goosebumped arms and replied.

Siwoo checked his shield after blocking Choi Kang-yul’s powerful blow.

There was a tiny crack in it.

“That’s pretty good.”

Siwoo praised him sincerely.

Although he hadn’t broken it, the fact that he had dealt a blow to his shield was enough to prove the power of his skill.

Choi Kang-yul smiled slightly.

However, his face was stiff overall.

It seemed to be because he couldn’t control his skill and didn’t know when or how it would go berserk.

“It’s okay.”

“Yes. . .?”

“It’s okay, you can hit me with everything you’ve got.”

Choi Kang-yul nodded at Siwoo’s words.

He took the remaining ‘six flower petals’ and charged at Siwoo once more.

Zzz━━━━━zing! Zzzzzzzz━━━zing!!!

Siwoo’s shield shattered after three punches in total.

It was an attack worthy of a Hunter with an S-rank skill.

Choi Kang-yul, who had broken the shield, jumped up from his seat and immediately attempted a flying punch.

A strong smell of grass spread from his fist.

Siwoo smiled and, using his left foot as an axis, roundhouse kicked his opponent’s face.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!!

A crevasse formed on the martial arts hall floor, and Choi Kang-yul’s body flew more than ten meters.

“Ughhhhhhh!”

His face was badly crumpled, as if the impact had been severe.

Choi Kang-yul gathered his fluctuating mana and prepared to charge again.

However,

“Are there still four left?”

A chilling voice came from behind him.

Choi Kang-yul was shocked and turned his head, and in that instant,

Paa━━━aaaah!!

Siwoo’s fist flew in, and Choi Kang-yul lost consciousness.

“Oh. . . he fainted.”

🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷

Siwoo healed Choi Kang-yul’s wounds and sat him down in a chair.

“Master. . . if you train him like that. . .”

Kang Yeo-hwa looked at Siwoo with worried eyes.

She was secretly worried that the talented person who had finally entered might not be able to endure it.

“The training method was a little rough.”

“A little too rough. . .”

“Compared to when you guys trained, it feels too weak. I need to wake him up with a slap and start over.”

“Yes. . .?”

“It’s okay, he won’t die.”

Kang Yeo-hwa waved her hand to stop Siwoo. It sounded like ‘It’s okay, he won’t die’ to her ears. . . but she thought it was a hallucination.

Do Kyung-hoo, who had been watching the duel from the side, clapped his hands and laughed heartily.

“Hahaha! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a rare sight. It’s rare to see someone with a [Mythical Realm] skill. And it’s Celadon Flower at that. The media will go crazy when the skill is revealed!”

“Oh~~~ That’s the [Mythical Realm] skill of Korea! Eastern-style skills definitely have a different feel from Western [Mythical Realm] skills. They may not reach the aura of grandmaster’s, but I think they’re great!”

Benedict also nodded his head with an interested expression.

“The opening is over, so shall we start the main event?”

Siwoo, who had stepped back into the martial arts hall, looked at them with a grin.

“Hahaha! Is it time for some personal guidance? I did well to sharpen my sword.”

Do Kyung-hoo’s eyes flashed, and he strode forward.

However, Siwoo made a blank expression and turned his gaze to the people beyond Do Kyung-hoo.

“You guys should come too.”

Siwoo said, snapping his fingers.

“Master, who. . . are they?”

“Benedict and Lo-an.”

Benedict and Lo-an, whose names were called, flinched.

“. . .Are you talking about us, Master?”

“Eeeeek? Are you talking about me too, little master?”

“Hey, Min Siwoo. I don’t mean to interfere with your education, but weren’t you supposed to have a 1-on-1 duel with me? Or are you planning to have a group lesson?”

Do Kyung-hoo tilted his head in puzzlement.

“It’s a duel, that’s true. However. . .”

Siwoo continued, looking at the three faces.

“I think I’ll be more satisfied if all three of you attack me.”

Do Kyung-hoo covered his head with one hand and shook his body at that provocative answer.

“Hoo-hoo-hoo. . . Hahaha! This is too much for a great swordsman. Who would have thought that the Sword Demon, Do Kyung-hoo, would hear such words?”

“Little master, are you serious? No matter how strong you are, little master, this seems like too much. I’m not a combat type, but I’m still an S++ rank Hunter.”

“. . .That’s right, Master. I’ve been training continuously ‘after that’ as well.”

Do Kyung-hoo, Benedict, and Lo-an each spoke to Siwoo with worried hearts.

However, Siwoo’s lips curled up slightly when he heard their answers.

“There’s a line from a movie I like. It goes something like, ‘If you’re scared, piss your pants.’”

And he snapped his fingers at the three of them.

Do Kyung-hoo, Benedict, and Lo-an looked at each other’s faces and stepped into the martial arts hall.

“You’re ridiculous. Did I look so funny, or did I look so sh*tty? It must be one of the two. Heh heh.”

“It’s not either, Do Kyung-hoo.”

“It’s not, but are you saying you want to fight 3-on-1 now? If it were someone else, I wouldn’t know, but Lo-an and Benedict are world-class high rankers who are higher in rank than me.”

“I know. I know how strong those two are.”

Siwoo cracked his neck and fingers lightly.

The pleasant cracking sound tickled his ears.

“Yeo-hwa! Make sure to wake up Choi Kang-yul and let him watch the duel. It’s something you won’t be able to see at a paid event.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Little master, I think you’ve made a mistake~~ You haven’t fought me yet. But you can face the three of us?”

“. . .Master. I think 3-on-1 is too much. Even now, why don’t you take one or two of them out and. . .”

Siwoo shook his head as he listened to that.

“I said I’d fight all three of you, but I didn’t say I’d fight them alone.”

“Then. . .?”

At that moment, Pumirmir, who was in his pocket, jumped out riding on Pre.
