I Became The Only Healer In The Academy [EN]: Chapter 283

283

While fighting the Agent, Seonghyun felt Vice President’s pain.

He was clearly on his way out, but in the midst of the battle with the Agent, he had gone deep inside the gate.

If he had just gone in, it wouldn’t have been a problem, but whatever he did, a huge amount of magic was being used, and the ground was shaking.

‘Why on earth…’

Seonghyun immediately used Advent to move to the Vice President’s side.

One of his arms was horribly torn.

Following that, magic that Seonghyun couldn’t even handle at once was erupting from the floor, seemingly from some hidden source.

Before checking the Vice President’s condition, he swung his sword imbued with magic at the monster, which could become a variable, and immediately assessed the Vice President’s state.

“Why…”

“Kuh… Hunter Kim…”

The magic erupting from the floor was struggling to enter through the Vice President’s torn wound.

If he were to accept that magic in his current state, there was no doubt that the Vice President would explode and die instantly.

Why on earth did he do this?

Looking at the Vice President’s dying eyes, who had always seemed so steadfast, regardless of his strength, Seonghyun was reminded of his father from a long time ago.

But now, it was different from then.

A torn arm could be healed.

“I’ll ask you the reason… later.”

“I definitely… want to give you an answer.”

All the wounds were healed, and all the pain that came with it was completely gone.

However, he couldn’t stand up on his own two feet.

“…You did something cute.”

The array of truth was completely overturned from beginning to end.

It would take more time to restore it to its original state than it did when it was first drawn.

‘Tch… the guy I didn’t even pay attention to caused trouble.’

While Seonghyun was assessing the Vice President’s condition, the Agent made a small cut on the tip of his finger.

Just enough for blood to well up and flow out.

The blood was a slightly different color from human blood.

The Agent dropped the drop of blood onto the floor, and at the same time, the earth and the formation containing the blood began to emit light in the color of blood.

The ability to activate with the Agent’s blood as a medium.

The Agent’s magic, which had such a high affinity that it could conceal magic, also had a strong sense of loyalty.

Just as the floor and the formation were emitting light, the Vice President’s recovered arm also began to shine.

“What is this…”

Exactly where the arm had been torn off.

The arm, which should have been the familiar skin color, was swelling up, showing the crimson color of the Agent’s blood that had just fallen on the ground.

‘Purification doesn’t work either.’

Could it be that it wasn’t recognized as something harmful?

Or could it be that the magic that was erupting from the floor just now was sucked into the wound before it was healed, and that’s the problem?

“In fact, I am the ruler of magic. Did you think you would be safe after accepting my magic?”

The reason why the Vice President’s arm was undergoing such a change was simple.

The Agent’s magic, whose affinity with magic was higher than that of a dimension’s owner, entered the Vice President’s body, and although the arm was healed, it was the Agent’s magic that took its place.

Because of that, the owner of the recovered arm was no different from the Agent.

“Humans call it a blessing in disguise, right?”

The overturned array of truth.

The magic that was lacking as it entered the Vice President’s body.

There was only one way to fill all of this.

That was for the Agent himself to sacrifice himself to forcibly complete the formation.

However, even if he completed it, it would be meaningless if Seonghyun left his position.

That’s why he was hesitating about this method.

But because of what happened just now, the Vice President’s arm was no different from the Agent’s possession, and the Agent manipulated that magic to spread throughout the Vice President’s body.

Originally, if another person’s magic took hold in the body, it would be impossible to withstand it, but now he was surviving thanks to Seonghyun.

“Vessel. I hope you can show it too.”

Seonghyun was stronger than the Agent.

Overwhelmingly in every aspect.

However, the Agent was also a strong monster, and not to the extent that Seonghyun could deal with him in a single move.

“Good. That’s a very excellent look.”

Thanks to that, Seonghyun couldn’t move easily.

The Agent’s expression clearly showed his intention to kill the Vice President if he moved even a little.

“Shall we have a conversation?”

“Now, of all times?”

“Choose wisely. The human’s possession is now mine.”

The Vice President, trembling all over and looking up at Seonghyun, had the eyes of someone fighting against something invisible.

Now almost at the end.

A state that cannot be purified.

In addition, there are no wounds yet, so it cannot be healed.

“Do you feel like talking now?”

“What are you curious about?”

At Seonghyun’s answer, the Agent laughed for a long time.

Making a loud noise that shook the ground.

“Kim… Hunter…”

“Save your words.”

No one knew the situation more accurately than the Vice President.

The feeling that his body was not his own.

All control was possible, but that wasn’t everything.

Every time he tried to inject magic into his arm, which had been deprived of its ownership, pain beyond imagination continued to interfere.

As if trying to protect its own.

‘He’s dead.’

He wasn’t dead yet, but he was as good as dead.

No, if he had died, he wouldn’t have been holding Seonghyun back like this.

‘Was it a pointless act?’

Should he have just left this gate, no matter what he found, and waited for Seonghyun to solve it?

It wasn’t because he was afraid of death.

It wouldn’t have been strange to die at any time.

However, the fact that he was dying while holding Seonghyun back was more humiliating and shameful to the Vice President than anything else.

‘The last thing I can do.’

He had to choose this quickly.

This 1 minute, 1 second that he was breathing.

It was all holding Seonghyun back.

If he was going to die anyway, if he couldn’t turn back, shouldn’t he at least be helpful?

Of course, the Vice President didn’t know what the Agent was doing or what he wanted.

Just that he was trying to use his body and that he was trying to do something to Seonghyun.

“Keuh… I’m sorry…”

“I’ll accept your apology when we get out.”

The Vice President’s eyes that met Seonghyun’s were a little different.

There was a hint of fighting spirit in his eyes a moment ago, but not anymore.

Peaceful eyes.

Eyes that had finished all decisions and were only left to act.

“…No.”

Knowing full well that it would not be purified or healed, he continued to use magic.

“It’s okay… Keheok! It’s okay…”

The Vice President’s hand, warmer than anything else, stroked the back of Seonghyun’s hand.

It was as if it reminded him of his father’s touch, so Seonghyun bit his lower lip and forcibly suppressed something rising up.

The Vice President smiled at Seonghyun’s extremely painful expression.

That painful expression was the best gift for the Vice President.

Not just a close relationship, a relationship where they helped each other a lot.

The Vice President was satisfied as if he thought of himself as family.

“I’m… proud of you.”

A word full of affection.

The Vice President squeezed out all the magic he could use and began to send it to one arm that had lost control.

Indescribable pain began to spread throughout his body, but he had no intention of stopping.

“Kuaaaak!!”

“This, this human bastard…!”

Pain that made one wonder if it was pain that a human could endure.

Because he shared Seonghyun’s magic, the Vice President’s magic was slowly pushing back the Agent’s magic.

The clash between the two magics was, to put it coldly, difficult to see as a huge collision.

However, the fact that this conflict was taking place inside the Vice President’s body.

Humans could not withstand the aftermath of the shock.

The Agent’s magic had no more room to be pushed back in the Vice President’s arm, so it began to spread throughout the Vice President’s body.

‘I can feel it.’

Was it thanks to that?

With the gradually lowered concentration and the magic that was part of the formation, the Vice President could also feel it.

How the formation was made and what it was made of.

Also, what was its purpose.

He could perfectly understand the arrangement of the formation, and he also knew what he was trying to do with the magic that had taken hold in his arm.

The Vice President used the Agent’s magic in reverse.

However, it was impossible to completely neutralize the formation because of the fundamental difference in power.

Just a little bit.

All he could do was change a part of the end of the formation, but he changed the final trajectory.

From Seonghyun to himself.

So that everything the Agent wanted and intended could work on him.

“Keuh… That expression. I like it.”

“You little bug…”

The Vice President gave the Agent the brightest smile he could show and raised his middle finger.

“Keok… Keheok…”

A similar sensation to what he felt earlier.

Tickling the heart area, squeezing it, squeezing it to the point of bursting.

The magic of the formation that had been created to suppress Seonghyun in the first place was something that humans could not handle.

The magic of the formation that had been squeezing his heart disappeared as it was.

As if he had done what he had to do.

As if there was nothing left to squeeze anymore.

Just as the Vice President had learned of the Agent’s intentions, the Agent had also grasped the Vice President’s intentions, but he could not stop it.

If he moved to stop that, Seonghyun would step in.

It was already a bit twisted, so it was doubtful whether it would be properly applied even if he stopped it right away.

A situation where the plan was twisted, and he had to stay still even though he knew how to fix the twisted plan.

‘Just… just because of one human…’

He had to be satisfied with creating this much agitation in the vessel with half the success that was not in the plan in the first place.

It was possible because something that had been affected before remained.

“Now… it’s just you and me left.”

The excessively murderous intent emanating from his voice.

The plan was only half successful, but he had to be satisfied with creating this much agitation in the vessel.

Seonghyun grabbed his sword again.

He didn’t have a hobby of killing his opponents painfully, but this time it was different.

How should he make it painful?

How should he make him say, ‘Please save me,’ or rather, ‘Please kill me.’

‘Okay. Let’s start there.’

He blew away the Vice President’s arm, so how about starting with the arm?

There are only two arms, so would it be better to start from below rather than cutting off the entire arm?

He didn’t have much time, but it wasn’t tight either.

He could always make time to deal with the Agent who had committed this outrageous act.

“You underestimate me too much…”

‘Assimilation.’

A gift for the Vice President who sacrificed himself for him.

If he used the Vice President’s ability, wouldn’t it be a little comforting?

The magic that began to gather in Seonghyun’s fist.

The Agent also knew what kind of magic it was.

However, the difference in power was too great.
