The More the Healer Gets Hit the Stronger He Become

63 – Destiny (1)

A booming voice that makes the noisy surrounding noise seem funny. Kangwoo stopped walking at that very familiar decibel.

“Hyung…?’

Kangwoo’s head quickly turned left and right. Then, to the point where it felt awkward to look around in such a hurry, I saw a huge being standing alone in a crowd of people and expressing its presence.

“Hyung!!”

Is it because I experienced a lot during the doppelganger ordeal on the 40th floor?

Although we have actually been apart for a short time, it feels like we have been seeing each other for a very long time.

With a smile on his face, Kangwoo raised his hands high and waved them happily. OK.

“Dongsaeaeaeaeang-!”

As if responding to Kang-woo’s actions, Tae-han Jang began to push through the crowd, waving his pot-lid-like hand.

“Uh, uh-uh-! Hey! Don’t push-“

“aaah! What, what! “Are you a monster!!”

Every time Jang Tae-han’s huge hand swings, the people standing in his way are helplessly pushed away.

Dealer gun, healer gun, tank gun. Everyone was equal in front of his unusual physique.

“hahahaha! “It’ll just pass by!”

Thus, Jang Tae-han, who walked with great strides as if he were walking on flat land with no obstacles, finally arrived in front of Kang-woo and burst out in laughter.

“Mhahahahaha-! “I guess I recognized my younger brother at a glance, even from far away!”

Kang-woo smiled at the sight of Jang Tae-han leaning back and smiling.

“You are still the same.”

“Okay then! Well, how could anything possibly change! hahahahaha! However…….”

Jang Tae-han, who instantly erased his smile, faced Kang-woo with serious eyes.

“Your little brother has changed a bit?”

During the time he was separated from Kang-woo, Jang Tae-han felt uncomfortable.

The shadow that appeared on the corner of Kang-woo’s face after killing the three looters. Because it stuck in his mind like a thorn and did not go away.

I told Kang-woo about the past, pretending that everything was okay, but it was true. When he closes his eyes, he can still clearly see the faces of the marauders he killed with his own hands.

That’s why Jang Tae-han knew. Before leaving, Kang-woo, who had tried to pretend he was okay, found out that he was not okay at all.

So even after we broke up, he was always worried, and when his hands got blood on him, he blamed himself for not being able to do anything.

I did….

“It looks good.”

It seems like he has decided on something.

Jang Tae-han, looking at Kang-woo’s more relaxed expression, realized that he had been worrying for no reason.

Choi Kang-woo was a strong man. He is more than himself.

“……Me?”

“Yes! “It looks great!!”

Jang Tae-han, who had plucked out the thorn that had been lodged in his mind until now, waved his hand with relief and relief.

Puck! Puck!

When a hand like a pot lid hit his shoulder, Kangwoo’s body swayed helplessly.

‘Crazy?’

I’m sure my strength is higher… Why do my abilities keep becoming useless in front of those palms?

hahahaha!

Kang-woo was swaying back and forth because Jang Tae-han kept hitting him on the shoulder while bursting into laughter.

“Ah! “Did I tell you something?”

My eyes widened at Jang Tae-han’s words that followed.

“I belong to the Red Devils Guild?”

***

Red Devil Guild.

The guild is ranked 9th in Korea and is rumored to have a guild leader who is a soccer fanatic.

‘This is not important.’

Kang Woo glanced at Jang Tae Han.

‘No, you were a guild rookie?!’

Guild Rookie.

This refers to the subject of ‘pre-contract’ that large guilds make to preoccupy future awakeners ‘before awakening’.

Because it involves investing a huge amount of down payment and training in an ordinary person who has not yet awakened, even the large guilds in the top 3 were famous for selecting less than a hundred rookies for this guild every year.

So, unless there is an awakened person with outstanding ‘ability’ among close relatives, most people cannot even dream of being a guild rookie.

Jang Tae-han was also a rookie in the 9th ranked Red Devils guild.

‘And then I saw that there was a healer on the team I climbed the tower with.’

Kang-woo turned to face Jang Tae-han, who had suddenly become serious.

Now that the awakened people who were in a panic and didn’t know what to do have realized what they have to do and are busy looking for trustworthy colleagues.

It was clear that there was a good reason for Jang Tae-han to reveal that he was a Red Devils guild rookie at this moment.

And as expected.

“Would you like to come with me, little brother?”

Jang Tae-han made a suggestion.

“… Were you looking for me from the beginning?”

Kang-woo asks if he had been looking for him from the beginning with the intention of proposing to be together.

Kang-woo, who was silent for a moment at that question, slightly shook his head.

“No, but isn’t it fate that we met like this?”

“….”

“It looks like he was looking for a colleague. “I will take full responsibility for whoever Kangwoo brings, no matter how many people they bring.”

It was not a bad condition. And above all. No matter what happened over the next ten days, I could trust Jang Tae-han if he was with me.

But.

“A colleague. “No, can you tell me how many guild members your brother needs to join in total?”

Unlike the ordeal on the 39th floor, Jang Tae-han was not alone now.

“Brother, do you trust all those people?”

“….”

Jang Tae-han was silent.

The reason Kang-woo asked if he believed all of those people was because he understood that it was because of the three looters he met on the 39th floor.

“hahahaha… This is true. “I thought it would be reassuring if my younger brother was with me.”

How can we say that we ‘trust’ those who are bound by the name ‘Red Devil Guild’?

Jang Tae-han could no longer hold on to Kang-woo.

“But… you’re welcome at any time, so if you change your mind or need help, don’t hesitate to come to me! “If you’re Kangwoo’s younger brother, you’re always welcome!”

“Thank you. If you need help, please come to me anytime. “If you are my brother, I am also welcome.”

“What, what? hahahahaha-!”

As if to break up the serious atmosphere, the two exchanged jokes and said goodbye after seeing that the timer floating in the air had already gone down by 7 minutes.

“Then… Yes! See you again in the evening, little brother! In the safe zone!”

“Yes! See you later in the evening, bro!”

With the promise of the next meeting.

After parting ways with Jang Tae-han, Kang-woo again got buried in the crowd and looked around.

How much more time did I have to spend like looking for a needle in a haystack?

‘Huh…?’

Kang-woo’s pace quickened as he saw the familiar yellow ponytail visible in the distance.

‘No way….’

The hair was longer than the last time he saw it, but the flowing ponytail that resembled its owner reminded Kang-woo of someone he knew.

“Seung-ah…!”

Kangwoo’s steps became faster. I wonder if I might miss it. It was when Kang-woo urgently stretched out his hand and was about to shout out the name of Yoo Seung-ah, who was presumed to be the owner of the yellow ponytail.

“Huh…?”

The ponytail seemed to shake violently, and its owner’s gaze turned towards Kang-woo. And so, as if it were a lie, the moment when Kang-woo froze in my eyes.

“Kangwooyaaa-!!”

Yoo Seung-ah smiled brighter than ever and waved her hand at Kang-woo.

Unbelievably, there were all happy faces around her.

***

The beginning of the tower.

Kang-woo started off wandering alone in a cave inhabited by crazy dogs on the first floor, and has had to climb the tower alone ever since.

A goblin ordeal to collect 5 blue stones on the 2nd floor, an ordeal where you had to run desperately to avoid a giant horned cow that suddenly appeared in the meadow on the 3rd floor, an ordeal where you were almost half-killed by a seemingly formidable red sparrow on the 6th floor, and a so-called boss room on the 10th floor. , All the way to the trials where the sick orcs appeared.

The first people Kang-woo met and the first party members he formed while struggling to climb the tower alone were Yoo Seung-ah, Lee Jung-min, and Choi Seo-hee.

When they first met, Kang-woo thought they were just awakeners who had been together for a short time.

Who would have known that we would continue that relationship with them even after ascending to the 41st floor?

“Wow! “It’s been a really long time!”

“It’s been a while, Mr. Kangwoo.”

“Does your face look good?”

A corner of a noisy park.

Kang-woo, who recalled that the last time they met was in the Safe Zone on the 21st floor, asked the three who were still together.

“I guess you’ve been together since the 21st floor?”

“Yes, it was like that until the ordeal on the 31st floor.”

“……Sister, you don’t seem very happy to see us again. Am I mistaken?”

“Ah! “There’s Kang-woo, so what’s wrong with you and your brother?”

In the 11th floor goblin trial, you must wait. No, you have to move actively. Choi Seo-hee and Lee Jeong-min, who were bickering, are still good-looking, but I never thought they would become this close.

Yoo Seung-ah asked Kang-woo, who was once again immersed in memories.

“Kangwoo, were you looking for us?”

“Ah…!”

I was so happy to see Yoo Seung-ah that I almost forgot the purpose of finding her.

Just as Kang-woo was about to open his mouth, Lee Jeong-min intervened.

“Of course they found us. “He doesn’t have any friends.”

A crooked yet irritating voice.

‘I’m still not a good person.’

It’s almost like he’s starting to get a little cheesy, but Lee Jung-min was truly consistent. To the point where I wonder how he survived random trials with that personality.

‘How did that bastard get through the 40th floor doppelganger ordeal? ‘Don’t they usually die because they are mistaken for a doppelganger?’

Lee Jung-min frowned as Kang-woo looked at him and smiled silently.

“Hey, you’re cursing me in your head right now.”

“That can’t be right. “How dare I give it to someone who gave me a basic kite shield for free.”

“I chewed it. “I chewed it.”

Kang-woo smiles brightly at Lee Jeong-min, who is glaring at him, while Choi Seo-hee quietly plays him.

“But that person…?”

No, I saw a woman silently sitting next to Choi Seo-hee.

“Ah! This will be my first time meeting Kang-woo! “He’s a friend who’s been with us since the Safe Zone on the 21st floor!”

“Hwang Yi-seo, I’m 20 years old.”

“Oh, my name is Choi Kang-woo, I’m 20 years old.”

Hwang Yi-seo, holding a large kite shield, was tall like a tank.

‘At that time, he was crying because the tanker had escaped, and the new tanker he found was this person.’

According to Yoo Seung-ah’s excited explanation, thanks to Hwang Yi-seo, all of the trials from the 22nd to the 30th floor were able to be cleared with 5 people.

He may seem a bit blunt, but when you get to know him, he is refreshing and a very nice person.

‘If you look at the fact that the healer is not visible… I guess he didn’t come to the 41st floor.’

Yoo Seung-ah’s group, which cleared the ordeal with 5 people, was missing one person.

Seeing that no one said anything, it seems that the healer is not on the 41st floor rather than that they haven’t met yet.

‘Well, it’s a miracle that four of the same team members made it to the 41st floor.’

Out of over 40,000 people, only 5% of those who made it to the 41st floor included four party members.

When the greetings to each other were almost over, Kangwoo asked.

“So there’s no one you need to meet anymore?”

Kangwoo, who overcame most of his trials alone, had few friends at all.

At best, there are only Yoo Seung-ah and his group, who met and formed a party on the 11th floor, and Jang Tae-han, who formed a relationship during the ordeal on the 39th floor.

However, Jang Tae-han, who had no idea that he was a guild rookie, refused to join Kang-woo’s side, so the only people left for Kang-woo were Yoo Seung-ah.

“Yes, but why…?”

Yoo Seung-ah and Choi Seo-hee tilt their heads, why is she like that? Kang-woo said, looking at Lee Jeong-min and his new colleague Hwang Yi-seo in turn.

“I have colleagues who have decided to join a party. Would you like to go together?”

“…?”

“They are trustworthy people.”

Yoo Seung-ah did not immediately understand Kang-woo’s words.

And so, after some time had passed.

“What??”

“A colleague?”

“You have a colleague??”

Kangwoo thought quietly as he watched the explosive reactions.

‘…Do I look like I have no friends?’

Even if the cheesy Lee Jung-min can do that, the disbelieving looks in Yoo Seung-ah and Choi Seo-hee’s eyes are really….

It was a wound.
