Holy Idol [EN]: Chapter 339

339. Came to Heal (2)

There are people who step up and do things without being asked. In this group, that was Ardor.

“Yes!”

Rembrary clearly gave the order to the Grand Master, but it was Ardor who answered.

‘Why you?’

It was Ardor who acted.

“Move if you don’t want to die. Counting to three.”

The moment he took out his gun and threatened those blocking the way, the Grand Master and the other Redrin Hunters simultaneously opened their mouths and looked in one direction.

There was no time to stop him. His finger was faster than anyone else’s.

“Three.”

He even counted faster than others.

Several gunshots rang out, and the glass windows of the hospital’s main entrance shattered into pieces. As the fragments broke into small pieces on the floor, the onlookers screamed and began to run away.

“He’s crazy!”

“Ah!”

“Run away!”

“The cultists are insane!”

Indeed, a strange person. Why did the High Priest specifically choose someone like that… The Grand Master sighed as he watched the scene, but the deed was already done.

“Everyone, protect the Rembrary trainee. Clear the way.”

“Why are we protecting that trainee?”

“Why is the Grand Master listening to that trainee’s orders?”

“Why are you asking me? How would I know?”

The Redrin followers who came along were confused by the Grand Master’s instructions, but Ardor’s trigger pull had already put them all in a confrontation with the hospital guards.

Since one side was shooting, there was no way the other side would only defend peacefully, so the other side soon took out their guns, and dangerous attacks went back and forth.

Every time guns and strange abilities were exchanged, the ground was torn up, glass shattered, and people’s screams and curses mixed together, creating background noise.

A scary and frightening sight. However, Rembrary didn’t seem afraid of the shards of glass and bullets flying everywhere. While others were fighting, he calmly walked into the hospital.

His appearance was alien, as if he existed in a different layer, but the people caught up in the commotion couldn’t appreciate Rembrary’s subtle aura.

‘I wonder what floor Senior Yu-Han’s sister is on.’

He momentarily lost his way while looking for Im Yu-Seol’s room, but Rembrary generally maintained a dignified appearance befitting a High Priest and reached his destination.

‘Ah, this is it.’

However, there was already a wall of people there. They seemed like the people he had briefly seen with the Lion Lord, and they had very determined expressions, as if they had heard all the commotion outside.

“Yu-Seol has nothing to do with Woo Yeon-Woo!”

“Why are you coming to her when you fought with Woo Yeon-Woo?”

“She can’t even get up if you leave her alone! Please, just leave her alone!”

They blocked the entrance with their bodies and pleaded with Rembrary.

‘I feel like I’ve become the villain.’

Rembrary, who had mainly lived receiving praise, found the sight of people crying and begging to him refreshing. Is this roughly how grim reapers feel when they work?

“I’ve come to help, not to harm, so please move aside.”

He tried to explain the situation, but this time, the situation was similar to that at the main entrance. No one moved.

‘Fine. Then don’t move. I’ll go on my own.’

Seeing this, Rembrary eventually stopped trying to persuade them and walked towards the door with his hands behind his back. Since they weren’t hunters or trained guards, it wasn’t as difficult to disperse the people gathered here as it had been at the main entrance.

“You absolutely can’t pass! Step over me!”

One person, taking more courage than the others, tried to grab Rembrary and stop him, but that person was easily thrown somewhere by Ardor’s hand.

‘Being with this guy makes me feel like a real villain.’

He should have left Ardor behind. Rembrary briefly lamented inwardly, but he thought that fighting with a subordinate in a place like this would make the Redrin priests look childish, so he moved on.

‘Ah. There she is.’

Fortunately, Im Yu-Seol was properly inside the hospital room. She looked exactly as she did in the news. Even to the point that she couldn’t move despite the commotion at the door.

‘Senior Im must be sad.’

Rembrary hoped that Im Yu-Han’s heart would be eased a little by this, and he approached Im Yu-Seol, placing his hand on her forehead.

“Oh, Yu-Seol!”

“Someone save her!”

“Our poor Yu-Seol! I hated Woo Yeon-Woo’s terrible acting even in commercials, so why are you entangled with him!”

‘Senior Im’s sister didn’t like Woo Yeon-Woo. Or did she not like me?’

He was momentarily distracted by the useless information he heard from outside, but Rembrary soon focused on channeling divine power into Im Yu-Seol.

Sending divine power throughout her entire body to cleanly heal even the smallest wounds, her face immediately regained its color.

The change was so great that the Redrin Hunters, even though the wounded area was covered with bandages and couldn’t be seen, noticed and were surprised. Even though they had come along in a daze until just before, they had been feeling discouraged, wondering, ‘What are we doing?’

‘Is this enough?’

Regardless of the reactions around him, Rembrary successfully completed the treatment and took his hand away.

However, Im Yu-Seol’s relatives, who couldn’t see the patient’s complexion because of the Redrin Hunters, were still calling her name and sobbing. As if Rembrary had killed Im Yu-Seol and taken his hand away.

At that moment.

“Sister!”

Im Yu-Seol grabbed Rembrary’s wrist, raised her upper body, and shouted. At the same time, the Redrin Hunters watching widened their eyes even more than before.

‘She woke up!’

‘How did he do it?’

Seeing that, Ardor was deeply moved and quickly knelt down and began to pray.

‘Redrin, look at the people who are blinded by our Rembrary’s miraculous abilities…….’

Conversely, Im Yu-Seol’s relatives, who were stuck to the door and watching inside, were surprised and their eyes became as big as walnuts because they could see that Im Yu-Seol had woken up safely this time.

The only one who was calm in all of this was Rembrary.

“I am not your sister.”

As Rembrary gently smiled and corrected her, Im Yu-Seol was flustered and released Rembrary’s wrist, backing away.

“Who are you?”

“Your benefactor.”

“Pardon?”

“My name is Rembrary. I belong to the Redrin Hunter Company.”

“Yes?”

“Conversion is always welcome.”

Im Yu-Seol’s last memory was fainting in the arms of a man with a tiger’s head, probably a monster. But suddenly, what was this…?

She didn’t know that she had been hospitalized in a coma for several days, so she had no idea what was going on when a handsome man next to her was saying strange things.

No, but isn’t that the person who was plastered all over the internet? Rembrary? It seems like a name that has been trending in real-time searches several times. Im Yu-Seol blankly thought and looked around.

Next to her, a man was kneeling and praying at twice the speed like he was possessed by a demon. She didn’t know what this person was either.

On the other side, a cold-looking handsome man was looking out the window, and three unknown people were staring at her like talking monkeys.

Next, the appearance of the hospital room came into view, and she saw familiar faces near the door who still couldn’t close their mouths.

Relieved that there were still people she knew, Im Yu-Seol asked them, “What’s going on?”

As soon as she said that, the people who were still in shock and stuck to the door suddenly came to their senses.

“Yu-Seol!”

They rushed over, hugged Im Yu-Seol, and began to cry.

“Oh my god! She really woke up!”

“Yu-Seol, Yu-Seol!”

“No, why is everyone like this?”

Leaving Im Yu-Seol, who was still bewildered and didn’t know what was going on, Rembrary put his hands behind his back and stepped back about five steps.

There’s nothing more joyful than when a loved one is sick and then gets better. So, he gave Im Yu-Seol and her relatives space so they could enjoy this moment.

As he was doing that, the person who had blocked Rembrary from entering the hospital room until the end and was thrown away by Ardor approached him, sobbing, grabbed Rembrary’s hand, and bowed repeatedly.

“Thank you. I’m sorry for blocking you earlier. I didn’t know you were really going to heal her. Thank you.”

Rembrary said it was okay and patted the other person’s shoulder. At that moment, someone shouted into a megaphone from outside the window.

―Rembrary! The Lord has sent fifteen hunters and the city defense force. Don’t do anything futile and come out!

Rembrary tilted his head, wondering what was going on, and the Grand Master explained.

“I kept hearing people’s voices outside. It seems the Lord sent hunters.”

“They’re gathering faster than I thought?”

“The city is no different from before the upheaval. Of course, resources aren’t as abundant as before…… Anyway, because of this, there are many who want to seize the city’s resources or the Lord’s position by force, so the city defense force is stationed so that hunters can rush to important facilities as soon as something happens. Hospitals are also included in those important facilities.”

Rembrary approached the window, opened it, and looked down. Certainly. Quite a few people, considering how quickly they gathered, were crowded in the parking lot.

―It’s Rembrary!

“Don’t shout that into the megaphone!”

―Rembrary! I’ll say it again! We are…….

As soon as Rembrary showed himself, the gathered hunters began to make even more noise.

* * *

Rembrary, a hunter trainee but known for his considerable skills, led a group of cultist hunters and rushed to the hospital, attempting to occupy it by force.

It was a somewhat strange event, but this news spread, and the city defense force under the Lord hurriedly dispatched to the hospital to reclaim it and protect the people.

Someone’s voice shouting, “I should have filmed this! This!” was grating nearby, but other than that, the hospital atmosphere was a sea of fear and tears.

Patients and guardians hugged each other, trembling and wondering what was going on, and the clean hospital front door had been transformed as if it had just been attacked by monsters.

While one hunter held a megaphone and issued a threatening warning to Rembrary, the vice-commander who brought the defense force began to discuss with the hospital security team leader how to suppress the cultists.

At that time. The already noisy surroundings suddenly became even more chaotic. To the point where even the security team leader’s voice couldn’t be heard properly.

“What’s going on?”

At this, the vice-commander frowned and looked up, and everyone was looking in one direction. Wondering what they were looking at, he looked towards where they were looking, and the problematic ‘Rembrary’ was sticking his face out by the window.

“Why are you just standing there blankly?”

The target is out! The vice-commander urged his subordinates with a mix of annoyance.

But at that moment. The problematic ‘Rembrary’ who stuck his face out the window suddenly raised one hand and began to wave it.

His appearance looked like the silhouette of a triumphant general in a parade, not like an armed cultist surrounded by those trying to arrest him.

The vice-commander frowned and looked at the scene, then asked the hospital security team leader next to him with a sullen expression.

“Is that guy really forcibly invading? Is there some kind of misunderstanding?”

The team leader was also a bit flustered and replied.

“No. That’s right.”

“Are you saying no or yes?”

“It’s a forced invasion, and there’s no misunderstanding. He clearly ordered to make way. Then the colleague next to him suddenly took out a gun…….”

Before the security team leader could finish speaking.

“Vice-commander, that bastard is originally famous for being crazy. Don’t think about it logically.”

A subordinate hunter standing nearby chuckled, then created a rainbow-like bow in the air and aimed it at Rembrary.

“Whether he’s crazy or not, he’ll be equally quiet if he dies.”

It was then. This time, another person appeared next to Rembrary.

However, the hunter naturally thought that the newly appeared person was also a cultist hunter and unhesitatingly pulled the bowstring taut.

But just before shooting the arrow.

“It’s Im Yu-Seol!”

The security team leader shouted urgently and nudged the hunter’s arm, causing him to lower it.

“Im Yu-Seol?”

“Are you talking about Im Yu-Han’s sister?”

As the hunter and vice-commander wondered what he was talking about and looked over, other doctors and nurses also began to shout half a beat later.

“Oh, that’s right! Oh my god! It’s Im Yu-Seol!”

“How did she wake up?”

“What is she shouting?”

[I have tried hard, but it seems difficult to lead this place further with my strength. (Omitted) The hunters belonging to our hunter company can be proud that their skills are no less than those of hunters from large agencies. (Omitted)]

Shin Jo-Un was carefully examining the combat videos, achievements, and evaluations within the training center of the small and medium-sized hunter companies that had requested to be merged into World Boom.

Tak tak tak tak tak

However, as the woodpecker-like knocking sound continued to disturb him, Shin Jo-Un put down the paper in his hand and answered.

“Come in.”

Shin Jo-Un thought it was strange. His secretary wasn’t the type to bombard him with knocks like that unless it was a very important matter.

“What’s the matter?”

As if it really wasn’t an ordinary matter, the secretary rushed in and approached the desk with an unusually fast pace, then quickly reported.

“President! It’s said that Rembrary is using force to break into a hospital right now.”

Shin Jo-Un frowned.

“Hospital? Force?”

“Yes. A large hospital.”

“What are you talking about?”

Several hypotheses flashed through Shin Jo-Un’s mind for a moment. But those hypotheses were all strange. Shin Jo-Un couldn’t even guess what Rembrary would do by breaking into a hospital.

“There’s nothing to eat at the hospital?”

Hospital cafeteria? No, even if he has a strong appetite, he wouldn’t break in to eat that.

‘……Hospital cafe?’

However, no matter how seriously he tried to think, he couldn’t think of anything other than food that Rembrary would be obsessed with.

Anyway, what was certain was that he had to stop whatever was happening. Even within the city, the law didn’t work as smoothly as clockwork as before, but to live a stable life, one had to at least pretend to comply to some extent.

Especially for someone like Rembrary, whose name and face were known, unless he was going to live as a notorious lord or the head of a hunter crime organization in a non-city area.

‘He really takes a lot of effort.’

Still, I have to go. Shin Jo-Un got up from his seat and reached out to take the suit hanging on the hanger.

“Is there no word on why he broke into the hospital?”

“He healed someone.”

However, at the secretary’s added words, he couldn’t control his strength and knocked down the hanger.

The hanger fell onto the desk, scattering the documents that Shin Jo-Un had been diligently looking at. Shin Jo-Un stared at the documents that were mixed up and messed up on the floor, then turned to the secretary in disbelief.

“What are you doing?”
