As the C-rank Tankers deployed at the front began to collapse, the defense line was on the verge of total disintegration.
The B-rank Tankers were holding on as best they could, and the A-ranks were rushing around everywhere, but they couldn’t cover the entire main defense line.
In the end, the C-ranks, who made up the majority of the defense line, needed to step up, but they were falling one after another without even putting up a decent fight, and gaps started opening up all over the main defense line.
It was still only the early stages of the battle, yet the defense line was already crumbling.
If things continued like this, there seemed to be no hope left.
But at that moment.
Whoosh!
A powerful buff that covered the entire main defense line was cast, and as a result, the situation was dramatically reversed.
“What?! Wh-what is this!”
Chen Weichi, an A-rank close-range dealer from Taiwan, couldn’t hide his astonishment at the sudden buff.
‘A buff this outrageous actually exists? This is insane…’
In an instant, his basic stats hit 150,000—a figure comparable to an S-rank—and on top of that, his attack power, defense, and even attack speed all skyrocketed across the board.
And that wasn’t all.
A continuous healing skill activated, rapidly restoring his health, which had dropped below half, and Energy Amplification greatly increased his total Aura.
Furthermore, after his attribute changed to the Holy attribute, his holy attack power and defense surged dramatically, resulting in an unbelievable increase in combat strength.
The problem was that this wasn’t applied only to him—it was applied to every Hunter deployed along the main defense line.
“Who in the world is it? Who’s casting such an insane buff…”
Just as Chen Weichi hurriedly turned his head to scan the area.
“Is this about the center of the main defense line?”
Someone pushed through the Hunters and stepped forward.
Then.
Woong!
Woowoong!
Woowoowoong!
He created over a dozen arrows of light and immediately fired them toward the monsters.
Swaeeeeeek!
Swaek!
Swaeeeeeek!
Kwa-kwang!
Kukwa-kwang!
Kuku-kuk-kung!
That someone was none other than Seong-jun.
After swiftly taking down some of the monsters to secure safety, Seong-jun cast a skill.
‘Holy Field!’
He had considered casting Sanctuary, but since the All-in-One and various other buff skills were already active, he judged that dealing with regular monsters wouldn’t be too much of a problem.
So he decided to save Sanctuary for when the elites and the boss appeared.
Instead, he cast Holy Field, a special skill attached to his set artifact, Ermia Jeryn’s Holy Ring.
Whoooosh!
The range of Holy Field was a radius of 300 meters.
Although it was somewhat smaller compared to Sanctuary or other wide-area skills, it was still enough to cover the entire main defense line.
After all, since it was centered on Seong-jun with a radius of 300 meters, it could cover a total of 600 meters.
[Active] Holy Field [1/10]
Divine judgment upon the impure who step onto the sacred ground.
– Continuously restores the HP of allies within a certain area.
– Slightly increases the wound-healing rate of allies within a certain area.
– Deals [1,000] holy damage every 2 seconds to enemies within the area.
– If enemies within the area are of the Dark attribute, holy damage is doubled.
– Holy Field base area: [Radius 300m]
– Casting time: [3]
– Duration: [1 hour]
– Divine Power cost: [80,000]
– Cooldown: [12 hours]
Holy Field was a slightly different concept from Sanctuary.
While Sanctuary was a wide-area skill that granted powerful buffs to allies and strong debuffs to enemies, Holy Field was a wide-area skill focused on health.
It continuously restored allies’ HP and slightly increased their wound-healing rate to help with survival, while on the other hand, it dealt consistent damage over time to enemies, wearing down their HP.
‘It seems to synergize quite well with Sanctuary, so I wanted to use them together if possible, but I can’t help it. Now isn’t the time to worry about that.’
He believed that since both Sanctuary and Holy Field were continuous wide-area skills that covered a certain area and affected both allies and enemies, their synergy would be significant.
So he wanted to cast them simultaneously if possible, but now wasn’t the time to be concerned about synergy.
Although the Taiwanese Hunters had achieved a tremendous stat boost from various buffs, their basic combat abilities were somewhat lacking compared to Korean Hunters.
Unlike the early stages of the Dungeon Break in Taean, where C-rank Hunters somehow managed to hold on, the C-rank Hunters in Taiwan had collapsed helplessly.
To put it bluntly, even though they might overwhelm the monsters for now with their suddenly elevated stats, as time passed and the number of monsters increased severalfold, casualties could occur again.
That was why Seong-jun didn’t stop at simply raising stats with buffs; he additionally spread Holy Field.
Bang!
Kukwang!
Bang! Bang!
Meanwhile, battles were constantly raging all around.
“M-my attacks are actually hitting them!”
“Ooh! We can hold them! Their attacks don’t feel so threatening anymore!”
“Isn’t All-in-One the signature skill of Korea’s Saint, Kim Seong-jun?”
“A buff like this? With this, we can stop it! We can stop a B-rank Dungeon Break!”
The Taiwanese Hunters, who had achieved an enormous stat boost, now had hope that they could stop the B-rank Dungeon Break.
And then.
“Seong-jun! Ha! How are you so fast?”
“What’s your Agility stat that you’re this quick? I ran my guts out but couldn’t even catch up to your tail.”
Gwang-taek, Yuseon, and Chang-su had joined the main defense line.
“Haha, but you guys got here faster than I expected. For now, Gwang-taek hyung, take a position here. Yuseon and Chang-su, assist Gwang-taek hyung and reduce the number of monsters as much as possible.”
“Okay!”
“Got it!”
No sooner had Seong-jun finished speaking than Gwang-taek adjusted his shield and stepped to the front, while Yuseon and Chang-su supported Gwang-taek from behind, quickly eliminating the charging monsters.
Swaeeeeeek!
Swaeeek!
Swaeeeeeek!
Seok!
Puk!
Bang!
Bang!
Kwajik!
Kukukung!
As Gwang-taek, Yuseon, and Chang-su began fighting in earnest, they started covering not only the limited area Gwang-taek was holding but also the surrounding region.
“But, oppa! Wouldn’t it be better to just sweep them once with a wide-area skill?”
Yuseon asked Seong-jun while continuously unleashing attacks.
Seong-jun shook his head and replied.
“No, the monsters gathered right now are only about 300 to 400. This much is enough for the Taiwanese Hunters boosted by my buffs to handle. There’s no need to use a wide-area skill. It’s more efficient to use one when at least 700 to 1,000 monsters have gathered, or when I judge that they can’t hold on with just these buffs.”
Both God’s Wrath and Radiant Wind had a cooldown of 50 minutes.
Once he used them, that meant he couldn’t use them for nearly an hour.
Right now, the Taiwanese Hunters were overwhelming the monsters, and the number of monsters was only about 300 to 400.
Since it wasn’t a crisis situation, he judged it was better to save the wide-area skills for when enough monsters had accumulated, or when it seemed they couldn’t hold on even with the buffs, rather than using them now.
“I guess so. It would be a waste to use your crazy wide-area skills on mere monsters like these. Should I save my wide-area skills too?”
“Save the wide-area skills with long cooldowns as much as possible, and use the ones with relatively short cooldowns from time to time.”
After all, the main wide-area skills were Seong-jun’s God’s Wrath and Radiant Wind.
Other wide-area skills or those of other Hunters would only be used to clean up the remaining monsters that survived, so he judged there was no need to save them.
However, he thought it might be better to save skills with long cooldowns just in case.
“Got it.”
Yuseon said she understood and focused on the battle again.
Just then, one of the Taiwanese Hunters approached Seong-jun.
“A-are you Healer Kim Seong-jun?”
Seong-jun nodded and replied.
“Yes, I am Kim Seong-jun.”
“Oh! It’s an honor! I am Chen Weichi, the head of the Cheonhwa Guild and an A-rank dealer. I’m honored to meet Korea’s Saint. Your abilities are truly incredible, worthy of being called a Saint.”
The Cheonhwa Guild was one of the top two guilds in Taiwan, very powerful, but compared to Korean guilds, it wouldn’t even rank in the top 30.
Nevertheless, it was a guild that wielded influence in Taiwan comparable to Changcheon or Genesis.
“Hello. It’s nice to meet you. As the head of the Cheonhwa Guild, you must have some influence over the defense line. I’d like to move some of the B-rank Tankers and a portion of the dealer forces from the main defense line to the sub-defense lines. Is that possible? Here, thanks to my buffs, even the C-ranks are now capable of holding off the monsters, but that won’t be the case for the sub-defense lines.”
Just like in Taean, Seong-jun proposed diverting some of the B-rank Hunters from the buffed main defense line to the sub-defense lines.
Right now, most monsters were moving toward the main defense line, so it was fine, but as time passed and the number of monsters increased, the number heading for the sub-defense lines would also increase.
He judged it was better to deploy additional forces there while there was still no burden.
“Understood. I’ll discuss it with the other guild leaders and take action as quickly as possible.”
Even as the head of the Cheonhwa Guild, he couldn’t unilaterally change the defense line.
Currently, all five major guilds of Taiwan were gathered here, and they were effectively commanding the defense line.
So he intended to convey Seong-jun’s proposal to the leaders of the other four guilds and try to get it accepted as much as possible.
“Given the situation, it seems difficult to have an in-depth conversation. How about we handle the Dungeon Break first and set up a separate meeting later?”
The fierce battle was still ongoing, so there was no time to leisurely chat.
Once Genesis arrived, things would become much more relaxed than now, but for the moment, Seong-jun also had to actively intervene in the defense.
“Understood. In any case, thanks to you, the defense line didn’t collapse. I’m grateful.”
With those words, Chen Weichi hurriedly left.
Since Seong-jun and his group had taken a position in the center, Chen Weichi no longer needed to be there, so he seemed to be moving to other relatively vulnerable areas.
—
The Taiwanese Hunters, overwhelming the monsters with Seong-jun’s buffs, were steadfastly holding the defense line.
About 30 minutes later, the Genesis Guild belatedly arrived.
“We were delayed because the roads were so blocked. Still, it’s a relief that Healer Kim Seong-jun arrived first. I heard that if he hadn’t, it would have been a disaster.”
At Ju So-jeong’s words, Seong-jun smiled and said.
“I’m glad I arrived just in time. If the defense line had collapsed, it would have been a huge headache. Anyway, now that Genesis has arrived, I can breathe a sigh of relief. For now, please have four people, including Guild Master Ju So-jeong, join my party.”
When Seong-jun said they should join his party, Ju So-jeong immediately nodded.
She knew exactly what he meant.
“Got it. Since the enemy is B-rank monsters, it seems better to bring those specialized in area-of-effect attacks rather than single-target attacks.”
“Ah, and by the way, I’m thinking of slowly moving to the rear. I’d like Guild Master Ju So-jeong and Genesis to take the lead in the battle.”
When Seong-jun said he was going to the rear, Ju So-jeong asked with a puzzled expression.
“To the rear? Surely you’re not running low on Divine Power. Healer Kim Seong-jun still has a huge impact on the battle. What’s the reason for going all the way to the rear?”
Seong-jun was no longer just a healer.
His wide-area skills were far more powerful than those of Ju So-jeong, an S-rank Sorcerer herself, and his single-target attack skills were also strong enough to significantly influence the course of the battle.
For him to go to the rear was simply inefficient.
“Quite a few casualties occurred before we arrived. I can’t do anything about those who have already died, but I want to treat the wounded as much as possible. There will definitely be people who could survive if treated in time but lose their lives because the golden hour was missed. If I heal them and send them back to the defense line, it will be a significant help.”
Those with light injuries had been healed by Divine Healing and had already rejoined the defense line, but those with severe injuries were still absent from the defense line.
Those who had lost limbs or had severe internal injuries that made it difficult to move.
Their numbers were not small, so if they could rejoin the defense line, it would be quite helpful.
“Hmm, I can’t stop you from treating the wounded. Fine. We Genesis will do our best to hold this place.”
“Haha, yes. I’ll quickly treat the most critical patients and then rejoin.”
So saying, Seong-jun added Ju So-jeong and the guild members she recommended to his party, and immediately cast Enchant Buff on them.
Then he hurried toward the rear.
—
When he moved to the rear, he saw many Taiwanese Hunters groaning in pain.
‘There are more critical patients than I thought. I need to take care of those with internal injuries first.’
Those who had lost limbs, though severely injured, were not in danger of dying.
But those with serious internal injuries could lose their lives if not handled properly.
Seong-jun decided to treat those with internal injuries first, and then those with severed limbs.
He approached a Hunter whose complexion looked the worst among the wounded.
“Where are you hurt?”
The Hunter replied with a pale face.
“Keuk, I… I was pierced through the abdomen by a Giant Mantis’s attack.”
Although his external wounds had been healed by Seong-jun’s Divine Healing, there was nothing to be done about the damage to his internal organs from the abdominal penetration.
“Hold on a moment.”
Seong-jun placed his hand on the Hunter’s abdomen and immediately cast a skill.
‘Perfect Recovery!’
As he cast Recovery, a bright light burst from Seong-jun’s hand and enveloped the Hunter’s entire body.
Whoooosh!
At the same time, the damaged internal organs rapidly recovered, and the Hunter’s complexion noticeably improved.
After treating the damaged organs with Perfect Recovery, Seong-jun asked the Hunter.
“How are you feeling now?”
The Hunter replied with a surprised expression.
“Ah, it doesn’t hurt. Not at all… Huh! Y-you’re Healer Kim Seong-jun, Korea’s Saint?”
A moment ago, the extreme pain had prevented him from even checking who was there.
He had just answered honestly when someone asked.
But now that his internal injuries were all healed, he finally had the time to check who the person was.
“You should be fully healed now. Please return to the defense line immediately. We need every hand to defend against the monsters.”
At Seong-jun’s words, the Hunter quickly got up.
“Ah, understood. I’ll return right away. And thank you so much for saving my life!”
He bowed his head briefly, picked up the shield beside him, and hurried toward the front lines of the defense.
He seemed to have been a C-rank Tanker.
‘Phew, at least Perfect Recovery doesn’t take as much time as God’s Miracle. I need to hurry a bit more.’
Regenerating severed body parts with God’s Miracle took about 4 to 5 minutes.
Even that had been shortened as God’s Miracle’s level increased, but it still meant it took about 5 minutes to treat one person.
On the other hand, treating internal organs with Perfect Recovery took just over a minute.
The problem was that Seong-jun had to walk around looking for those with internal injuries. That would also take time.
Perhaps that was why Seong-jun called out to someone who was tending to the patients.
“Excuse me.”
At the call, the person turned his gaze, recognized who it was, and hurried over with a surprised expression.
“Huh! S-Saint Kim Seong-jun! Oh, hello!”
“Haha, yes. It seems you’re taking care of the wounded. Are you a Hunter by any chance?”
“Ah! Yes! I’m an E-rank Healer! Since I can’t be of much help on the battlefield, I received the task of treating the wounded in the rear. But there isn’t much I can do…”
What could a low-rank healer do?
The external wounds had already been mostly healed by Seong-jun’s Divine Healing cast in Wide Area Mode, and the people here were those who couldn’t be cured even with that.
“In that case, please gather patients with damaged internal organs, especially those in serious condition, in one place as quickly as possible.”
At Seong-jun’s words, the E-rank Healer looked puzzled.
“Pardon? Patients with damaged internal organs?”
“Because I can treat them. Even with a continuous healing skill applied, those with severe internal organ damage can’t be managed by that alone. If left alone, they’ll eventually lose their lives. So I need to act as quickly as possible. Please gather them.”
“Understood!”
With those words, the E-rank Healer hurriedly called out to others.
“Hey, everyone! Gather the patients with damaged internal organs who are in serious condition here in one place! Quickly! Healer Kim Seong-jun is here and he says he’ll treat them!”
At his words, the low-rank healers who had been tending to the patients scattered in all directions and began gathering the patients who met the criteria in one place.
‘Should I start in earnest now? With Genesis joining, there’s still some leeway, so it should be fine for a while.’
The number of monsters had already exceeded 600.
It was still a level they could handle with Seong-jun’s buffs, and now that Genesis had joined, the situation was somewhat more relaxed, but if the number of monsters increased further, casualties would definitely occur.
Seong-jun planned to treat as many patients as possible before that, return to the front, and wipe out the monsters with a wide-area skill.
After that, there would be leeway until the boss appeared, so he could come back to the rear and treat the wounded again.
Thus, Seong-jun headed toward the wounded who had started gathering in one place and rapidly began treatment using Perfect Recovery.
