I Became the Only Healer in the Academy - Chapter 17.2
Seonghyun tried to lightly jump back to avoid the sword, but with that light hop, he moved well over 2 meters backward.
Covering the spot where Seonghyun was a massive thunderous sound, where the black giant attacked, and as the dust cleared up, a crater, easily several meters deep, appeared.
“Even a single hit would kill me.”
If he got hit even once, it was instant death, regardless of healing abilities or anything else.
[Time remaining until the end of the last night: 10 minutes]
[Survive until the end of the night.]
“It seems like the goal is not to eliminate but to survive.”
If that was the case, it was a much easier goal for Seonghyun.
Moreover, there were only 10 minutes left.
“At that speed…”
Although he thought he had some leeway, when the hidden figures behind the giant came into view, Seonghyun was left speechless.
“10 minutes… I might not even make it far.”
All the enemies that had appeared so far were after him.
Excluding only the enemies from the first and second nights, which had a large number.
Seonghyun hurriedly tried to enter the temple, but an invisible wall seemed to appear, preventing him from entering.
In an instant, feeling a chilling sensation on his back, Seonghyun leaped sideways without looking back. Once again, where Seonghyun had been, a giant sword was now lying, and another crater.
“How many minutes left?”
[Remaining time until the end of the last night: 8 minutes]
“…S**t.”
If there was a slight difference from before, it was that the enemies that appeared on the third night were all wielding bows instead of swords, spears this time.
‘I have to be in front.’
Otherwise, he would undoubtedly become a hedgehog with dozens of arrows.
Sure enough, arrows started flying straight away, and Seonghyun took his position right in front of the gigantic enemy.
‘Minimize movement to dodge attacks.’
If he managed that, there was no need to worry much about the other enemies.
As Seonghyun expected, only the enemies that appeared on the fourth night rushed towards him, while the enemies from the third night couldn’t attack him.
No, on the contrary, Seonghyun was deflecting the arrows.
“Kraaah!”
The gigantic enemy, which became even more frenzied in pain, began to swing the giant sword in all directions, and naturally, Seonghyun was never hit by that sword.
Instead, the large figures of the fourth night were taking hits from the sword, flying around.
The pressure from the number of enemies was not an easily overcome aspect.
Although the attacks of the enemies from last night were said to be slow, they were lethal with just a graze, so Seonghyun had to pay the most attention to them. Due to that, he had to tolerate the attacks from them to some extent.
“Heal.”
“Heal.”
Seonghyun continued to heal his wounds.
He had to endure for only 10 minutes, and now, there was not even that much time left.
[Remaining time until the end of the last night: 1 minute]
Knowing the tactics, enduring was not so difficult.
Certainly, even if Seonghyun had not possessed healing abilities, even with enhanced physical abilities, he might not have been a person in this world by now.
[The last night of the temple has ended.]
With the announcement of the end of the last night, the enemies in front of him began to oxidize, showing their defeat. The sky, which had been dark until now, instantly brightened as if morning instantly arrived.
“It’s over…?”
[Congratulations to you for surviving until the last night.]
[Bring the remnants of the last night to the altar.]
Approaching the remains of the last night, the corpses disappeared, leaving a small bead behind.
Seonghyun immediately picked up the bead and approached the altar.
“There shouldn’t be anything else, right?”
A strange sense of unease arose, but Seonghyun soon shook his head and placed the bead on the altar.
[You are the first outsider to survive until the last night.]
“Outsider?”
[Now, based on your achievements so far, blessings will be determined.]
[Remaining time on the first night: 40 minutes]
[Remaining time on the second night: 1 hour]
[Remaining time on the third night: 27 minutes]
[Remaining time on the fourth night: 11 minutes]
[Survival on the last night]
[Achieved additional accomplishment on the last night]
[Defeated enemies on the last night]
[The forgotten temple is about to bestow blessings.]
[Would you like to receive the blessing?]
Unlike before, when Seonghyun didn’t even ask if he wanted to receive the blessing, this time, the question made him a bit uneasy. However, refusing to accept it would mean that all the hardships he had endured so far would be in vain. Without much hesitation, Seonghyun nodded his head and answered,
“Yes.”
[The forgotten temple bestows its blessing.]
[Blessing: Unlocks new abilities related to achievements.]
The long-awaited unlocking of a new ability.
Seonghyun swallowed dryly and checked for the continuation.
[You can verify the new ability when you leave the gate.]
“Making me expect something for nothing.”
Seonghyun smirked and turned away, stepping outside.
“It’s been a few days, but it should be okay…”
If that was the case, he should have informed his family first before coming inside. It was a mistake.
“I should…go home.”
Walking back the way he came, Seonghyun arrived at the gate and, with a small sense of anticipation, he stepped outside.
“Feels like it’s been weeks… Hopefully, everything is fine at home.”
If only he had informed them beforehand. Seonghyun shrugged off the thought and headed home, retracing his steps.
