Awakened as a Healer From a Previous Life

Chapter 191 Himura GuildEven with the help of body armor and potions, he fought the skeleton swordsman, but in the end, Tetsuya Himura was defeated.

It was the bitter taste of defeat that I first tasted while attacking the dungeon.

Yoon Tae-sung defeated such a strong enemy too easily.

In Korea’s level 5 dungeon attack, Yoon Tae-seong thought that he acted as a helper in the healer position. So when he first saw him, he was a little downhearted.

When attacking the dungeon, Tae-seong Yoon was also a great helper. Healer’s ability was truly amazing.

That’s just the end of it. I didn’t even think about it other than that.

‘her? How could a healer… be so strong?’

However, others seemed to have a different opinion.

“Wow, what kind of item is it?”

“I froze a level 5 boss monster in an instant.”

“Isn’t that the ring? I took a sneak peek, and the ring on my hand looked like an item.”

They considered Yoon Tae-seong’s ability to be the power of the item that frozen the dragon.

On the other hand, Tetsuya Himura asked, ‘Is that really the case?’

At the moment of crisis, the person who blocked the sword of the skeleton swordsman was also Tae-seong Yoon, and the action of lightly cutting the skull’s neck a while ago was so neat that there were no frills.

‘Even if the skull is frozen…’

What if you cut steel and it sounds like you’re cutting a piece of paper? How great is that person’s swordsmanship?

Yoon Tae-seong held the great sword left behind by the dead skeleton in his hand. After that, he looked into the information of the greatsword through the function of the dungeon.

[Ariok’s Magic Sword]

It is a magic sword created by black magician Ariok by burning the power and souls of 1,000 paladins through alchemy. It is very strong to live and amplifies the power of darkness. The ego of the Demon Sword, greedy for life force, grows stronger and absorbs the user’s life, making it immortal.

There is no such thing as darkness. However, among the Awakened, there were some who used black magic.

This seems to be the case with items like this.

The ego of the Demon Sword was not a thinking being. There is just some instinct.

Living to kill living beings, greed to absorb the user’s life force, and finally, these functions make the user a dead being.

Pack this nicely and call it ‘immortal’.

‘Is it because only instinct remains? The ego’s tendencies are very rough… and strong.’

It was said that it was made by burning 1,000 paladins, but it seems that their survival consciousness is strongly reflected.

‘It’s a terrible and sinister sword.’

This was an item created by the dungeon, but if it was created based on an actual weapon, wouldn’t it be terrifying?

It is trying to absorb not only life force, but also mana.

It didn’t work because Yoon Tae-seong strongly controls magical power, but what if a general awakener attacked this dungeon and got this item?

There was a very high possibility that he would turn into a dead being without even realizing it.

When Tetsuya Himura asked a question, Tae-sung Yoon handed him a bloody greatsword.

Tetsuya, who held the great sword in his hand, immediately gave a surprised expression.

Not because it is a great item, but because it was very uncomfortable the moment I held it in my hand.

‘what? Are you absorbing my magic power?’

I read the description of the item.

‘The existence of death?’

Amplifying the power of darkness had nothing to do with me, and a phrase came to my mind saying that it would make him an ‘immortal’ being of death.

It looks like it was created with black magic like a ghoul or a skeleton.

Does it really have any meaning to be immortal in such a way?

“It is an ominous and dangerous sword. How are you going to do this? I don’t think it would be very good if it passed to the Awoken.”

Tetsuya handed the sword back to Yoon Tae-sung.

“Well… is there a way to deal with it?”

ego?

Yoon Tae-seong has a guy who can handle this kind of thing, so you can throw it to the spirit of death as food.

First of all, I stored Ariok’s magic sword in the subspace.

‘If the magic sword was to function as a magic crystal, the dungeon should have been cleared. is not it?’

However, looking around, there was nothing that could be called the center. What else could there be other than the huge wall full of runes and the altar in front of it?

What was suspicious was the altar.

Yoon Tae-seong broke the altar. A translucent marble was revealed from within the altar that was shattered in one blow.

The size was similar to that of a magic crystal, but there was a strange airflow inside the translucent interior.

[Ariok’s Life Orb]

This is a magic stone that contains the soul of the black magician Ariok.

‘You keep your souls like this? That’s funny.’

Is this spirit real or is it a creation of the dungeon? In Taeseong Yoon’s thoughts, no matter how great the dungeon is, it doesn’t seem to be able to create a soul.

That would be the only power that only the Creator could do.

The dungeon is broken.

Clearly, this life orb was the center of the dungeon.

[Himura Guild, Tokyo Level 5 Dungeon Clear Completed!]

[The Ministry of Defense, I believed in the Himura Guild!]

[Tetsuya Himura, Japan’s first level 5 dungeon cleared!]

[Tetsuya Himura, Save Tokyo!]

I never had an interview.

The moment the dungeon was cleared, the Japanese media started publishing dozens of articles. It’s like writing an article beforehand.

Tetsuya Himura was a little uneasy after reading the article. Although he also marketed the guild through media play, he never reported false information.

I was planning to clear the dungeon myself this time too, but honestly, I didn’t think I did much.

‘Can’t you help it? Well… Tae-Sung Yoon is Korean, and he has to go back to Korea.’

Considering the hateful atmosphere in Japan, there probably won’t be a single line of articles about Yoon Tae-sung.

He swung his sword a few times against the steel pole, but he didn’t like it.

It wasn’t that his condition was bad or that his skills suddenly declined.

I usually had a lot of pride in my swordsmanship skills, but that pride collapsed in this dungeon attack. So it felt like his swordsmanship was too lacking.

‘What the hell is the problem?’

Why did you lose to the Skeleton Swordsman?

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out the exact reason. Was it just that the skeleton swordsman was a little stronger?

‘If it’s Tae-Sung Yoon, wouldn’t you know why I lost?’

As he stood and pondered over his swordsmanship and the confrontation at that time, the staff quietly approached him.

“Himura-sama, the Minister of Defense has arrived.”

Tetsuya picked up a cold towel from the tray and wiped the sweat. After that, he went to the drawing room wearing a white Hao Liman upper body also embroidered with plum blossoms.

The defense minister rose from his seat.

“Oh, Tetsuya, you did a great job this time too. Even if the best guilds in Japan are different, what is different?”

The relationship between the guild and the Japanese government was honestly not that close.

As seen from the outside, the Japanese government treated the Awoken like servants, and the Japan Hunter Association acted as a government agent.

However, as time passed, guilds were formed, and the size of the guild gradually grew. The level of the dungeon is getting higher and the hunter is getting stronger.

Like the Himura Guild, there were also guilds that were difficult for the government or associations to handle.

In other words, from the Ministry of Defense’s point of view, the Himura Guild was a necessary existence, but it was also an uncomfortable opponent.

I wasn’t the kind of person to talk to. They only seemed friendly because it was necessary for work.

“Unfortunately, our guild has not contributed much in this attack.”

“Haha, what are you talking about? If it wasn’t for the Himura Guild, Tokyo would have been dangerous. How could a single Korean help? The Minister of Foreign Affairs did something useless. Anyway, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs always does strange things to shame Japan.”

Did the Minister of Foreign Affairs uselessly commissioned Yoon Tae-seong? It has already failed twice, and public opinion criticizing the government is too strong.

It wasn’t really useless at all.

If there was no Tae-Sung Yoon, would it have been possible to successfully attack Tokyo’s level 5 dungeon?

The Himura Guild was also highly likely to have failed like the previous two teams.

“We decided to hold a dinner party in the evening. It’s still before departure, so I had no choice but to join Yoon Tae-seong.”

Yoon Tae-sung’s attendance was decided by the Foreign Minister. It’s not meant to show gratitude to Yoon Tae-sung, but to show that he did a good job.

The dinner also serves to dilute public tensions. So, Tetsuya Himura’s attendance was very important.

“All right. Let me attend.”

I was a little dissatisfied that I came to ask a commoner, but what can I do? The Awoken are no longer just commoners, but a privileged class that calls themselves samurai.

I didn’t want to admit it, but circumstances keep making me admit it.

Even if not, Tetsuya Himura had something to talk about with Yoon Tae-sung.

When it comes to body armor and gun mana cores.

I thought that the performance of Mana Core in Japan and Korea was similar. In fact, when I saw it in person, the difference in performance seemed to be quite large, and it would have been nice to be able to import body armor.

After attacking the dungeon, the article was sent out, but the media did not actually interview it.

So, a dinner was held in the hotel banquet hall, and quite a number of reporters came to the interview.

“Nice to meet you, everyone! Tokyo is safe. Japan is different from Korea and China. Our hunters are doing their best for the safety of the people, and they are very strong! Introducing Tetsuya Himura of the Himura Guild, the first contributor to this Tokyo dungeon attack!”

The Minister of Defense introduced Tetsuya Himura while being baptized with a reporter’s camera.

Himura pretends to like a place like this. Probably because it was necessary for the image and for marketing.

But today, this situation was particularly inconvenient.

“Himura-sama, first of all, congratulations on successfully conquering a level 5 dungeon for the first time in Japan. Please tell me about the situation of the dungeon or the boss dungeon.”

Reporters also know that Yoon Tae-sung has entered Japan. He did not enter the country secretly like a VIP, and he received a request from the Japanese government.

But even they never asked a question about Yoon Tae-sung.

The dungeon has been attacked.

Do I need to float Yoon Tae-seong?

In Japan, we need a Japanese hero. So I purposely focused on Himura Tetsuya.

Tetsuya briefly answered the reporter’s question.

The reporter asked the question again.

“How was this boss monster? As expected, wasn’t it a big deal?”

“Hmmmm, I struggled quite a bit. I was almost defeated, but-“

“Now, the purpose of today is to celebrate. The interview will be as brief as this.”

The Minister of Defense, who was next to him, quickly intervened and ended the interview.

Meanwhile, Yoon Tae-sung in the hotel banquet hall had nothing to do. He doesn’t speak Japanese, doesn’t have anyone to talk to, and Tae-Sung Yoon doesn’t really want to talk.

I ate only the food prepared for the dinner with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs staff.

It was a buffet at a top-class hotel in Tokyo.

“After all, sushi is delicious in Japan.”

Of course, I like Korean food the most, and I don’t really know what kind of sushi is delicious.

“Japan is the origin. I think this would cost around 10,000 won a piece.”

It must have been that the sushi was made by myself at a 5-star hotel, so I thought it would be that expensive.

Thanks to Yoon Tae-sung, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs staff also speaks well on this business trip.

“There is not a single line in Taeseong’s article.”

“Won’t it be nice to see Japan’s hateful atmosphere and not swear at it? It’s better to be quiet.”

What do you do when a good article comes out in Japan? Nothing helps in life.

“I thought I would just leave the country, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs takes care of it.”

“I do not know? That’s… we’ll have to wait and see.”

Does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs really appreciate Yoon Tae-sung and take care of him?

Wasn’t it a Japanese politician’s peculiarity to say ‘Sumi-Maseng’ in front, curse at the back, and completely confiscate the face when entering and leaving the bathroom?
