The More the Healer Gets Hit the Stronger He Become

65 – Destiny (3)

The most accurate way to measure the level of a gate was to use a ‘mana meter’ created by a group of world-class researchers.

This is a method that takes advantage of the fact that the higher the level of the gate, the higher the magical power increases exponentially.

This method was quite accurate, so countries around the world used this method to measure the level of gates.

However, like everywhere else, there were expedients.

And among those expedients, the expedient that fits the most is this.

“Well, if it’s that size… What grade is it…?”

It was a method of guessing the grade by referring to the size of the gate.

“……At least grade B or higher?”

In response to Yoo Seung-ah’s groan-like question as she looked distantly beyond the glass window, Choi Seo-hee, with a blank expression as expected, answered.

“…….”

Grade B or higher.

The weight of those words was powerful.

If you’re lucky, there will be a gate of grade B, maybe grade A or higher.

No one screamed in confusion like the awakened people seen through the window, but all those gathered inside the convenience store were unable to escape their shock.

A time when only such quiet silence continued.

Kangwoo was the first to come to his senses and quickly left the convenience store.

A rattle.

The small bell hanging above the convenience store door rings as if to awaken the silence.

Kangwoo’s face, which soon returned, was stiff.

“Why, why are you like this, bro…?”

Kim Seung-ho’s voice trembled slightly as he sensed the ominous look on his face.

What on earth did I see outside that made Kangwoo look like that?

When everyone’s eyes turned to Kang-woo after hearing Kim Seung-ho’s words, his mouth slowly opened.

“On the other side… There is another gate just like that one.”

“Ah….”

It was a tragic news that was nothing to think deeply about.

***

In an imminent situation where you don’t know when the huge gate in the distance will set the gate brake.

The group, realizing that there was no time to say hello to them, quickly made a brief introduction listing only the necessary information.

“Yoo Seung-ah, you’re 20 years old and your abilities are-“

Starting with Yoo Seung-ah, Choi Seo-hee and Lee Jeong-min continued the introductions, and Hwang Yi-seo opened her mouth.

“Hwang Yi-seo, 20 years old, when the shock received exceeds a certain level, he can send out a shock wave with the same attack power as the shock he received.”

‘Shock wave…?’

Hwang Yi-seo, a tanker who was with Yoo Seung-ah from the 22nd floor ordeal.

Her skills were unique. She has a skill that sends out a shock wave equal to the impact received.

‘How exactly is the shock wave fired…?’

When Kang-woo had doubts, Kim Seung-ho, who was introduced later, was followed by a colleague he brought.

“Moon Jun-hyuk, 20 years old, ability increases in intuition in proportion to magical power.”

A very quiet person who stayed silent while Kim Seung-ho and Yoo Seung-ah chatted excitedly.

At his introduction, Kangwoo tilted his head again.

He is a melee dealer who uses a long sword….

‘Intuition…?’

Is this a passive skill?

The ability was quite unique as intuition increased in proportion to magical power.

Just when Kang Woo was thinking about asking this person in detail about his abilities when the time comes, it was Park Ye-rin’s turn.

“Park Ye-rin, 24 years old, fireworks exploding the moment a direct hit-“

They pretend not to, but a cold, unhidden voice fills the convenience store.

Kang-woo’s eyes looking at Park Ye-rin were filled with worry.

“Yoon I-chan, 22 years old, can draw aggro from monsters by shouting. For each aggro-attracted monster, strength and stamina increase by 0.1, Up to a maximum of 5.”

Currently, there was only one tanker by her side.

When she set out to find her companion, she met only one of the four people who had been with her since modern times.

How did she feel when she was able to find only one colleague, even though she searched with all her might through the crowd of people…

I can’t even imagine.

Although he was wearing the same expressionless face as before, it was clear that he was in a state of mental breakdown to the point where he couldn’t speak.

‘…We’ll have to talk about it separately.’

Kang-woo, who had been worried about Park Ye-rin’s condition, realized that things around her had become quiet and turned his attention to her. Then, before he knew it, he saw that everyone’s eyes were on him.

Your turn has come.

“Choi Kang-woo, 20 years old….”

When the random ordeal began, the thing that made me sick was the self-introduction.

Now, it’s nothing new, it’s something so familiar.

However, as Kang-woo continued speaking, he could not hide his nervousness, as if he were introducing himself for the first time.

That too.

“Power, sacred touch.”

The self-introduction from now on was Kangwoo’s first ‘real’ self-introduction after entering the tower.

“It is a heal that removes status abnormalities and requires more than 90 magical power to use on creatures other than the self.”

This is a true self-introduction that does not contain a single lie.

***

When Ye-rin Park and Seung-ho Kim checked the notice about the ordeal on the 41st floor and decided to gather their colleagues.

Kangwoo knew that this moment would come.

There will come a moment when you will have to accurately reveal your abilities, which you used to say vaguely in order to hide them from strangers.

“It is a heal that removes status abnormalities and requires more than 90 magical power to use on creatures other than the self.”

“……What?”

People who knew Kangwoo, people who just joined and met him for the first time today.

I couldn’t help but be taken aback by Kangwoo’s introduction.

“What now…? mana over 90…? Oh no. Wasn’t your ability ‘self-healing’?”

“……? What are you talking about? Wasn’t your ability ‘strength explosion’…?”

Lee Jung-min and Park Ye-rin, who were questioning Kang-woo, suddenly turned to each other.

“Explosion of strength…?”

“Self-healing power…?”

Everyone knows Choi Kang-woo’s abilities are different.

The two, unable to hide their bewilderment, looked at Kang-woo and demanded an explanation.

“….”

In a cluttered atmosphere.

Kang-woo, who had anticipated all of these situations, took steps to sort out the situation that had arisen due to his lies.

“Neither strength explosion nor self-healing power are my abilities. Brother, sister, I’m sorry. Seungya, I’m sorry. It was my first time meeting a former awakened person from back then. I thought I had to hide my abilities. Well, I didn’t think anyone would believe such nonsense in the first place.”

“Well, what is that….”

“And I’m sorry to you and Seungho. I was wondering if anyone would really believe in this ridiculous ability. Above all, I intentionally hid my power because I thought there might be looters among the randomly placed awakeners.”

Kang-woo met on the 11th floor and apologized to Lee Jeong-min, Choi Seo-hee, and Yoo Seung-ah, who knew his ability as ‘self-healing power’, and to Park Ye-rin and Kim Seung-ho, who met on the 31st floor and knew his ability as ‘muscle explosion’.

“….”

It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.

Although there may be disappointment that they could not have told us later, it is not reprehensible for an awakened person to hide his or her power.

However, there were questions that could not be answered with Kang-woo’s answers alone.

“First time… meeting an awakened person…?”

“Then what about that strength…? No, if it’s not a skill, what on earth is that strength…?”

Lee Jung-min’s group questioned Kang-woo’s words that he hid his abilities when he first met the Awakened, and Park Ye-rin and Kim Seung-ho did not understand what the strength he showed on the 31st floor was if it was not the ‘power of ability’.

Different questions, but ultimately connected as one.

Kang-woo, who organized his thoughts, was sincere.

But at the same time, he gave an answer that was not the complete truth.

“When I encountered a monster on the first floor and chaos broke out, I was left behind by other people, so I cleared all the floors up to the 10th floor alone.”

It was half the truth.

The reason Kang-woo was able to clear the ordeal alone, and the reason his strength was superior to others, was because of the hidden ability of ‘Holy Touch’, which increases his strength when he heals wounds above a certain level.

But Kang-woo did not reveal this fact to his colleagues.

He thought that this much was enough for now, and he also thought that the information was not something to be revealed to people seeing it for the first time.

“W-What is that…!”

However, even though it was only half the truth, the party members could not hide their agitation.

I climbed the tower alone from the first floor. Who would believe that?

But the facts were so perfect that it was absurd to not believe that.

If the statement that he cleared the ordeal alone is true, then it was understandable that Lee Jeong-min hid his abilities from the group he met in the safe zone on the 10th floor, and that Kang-woo, who cleared the 10th floor ordeal, was moved to the safe zone alone.

If that is really true, then the extraordinary strength shown by Kang-woo was also understandable.

There are no awakened people who have overcome the ordeal alone, so not everyone knows.

I thought that if such a thing were truly possible, if it were someone who made overcoming hardships alone a reality, it might be natural for them to be that strong.

When everyone is shocked by the unbelievable truth.

“……Does everyone believe that now?”

Yoon I-chan, who was quietly listening to these absurd conversations, burst out laughing.
