Chapter 366 – Craspio vs. Lee Han-Yeol (2)
Did he spare any innocent lives among those he killed? Han-Yeol knew that was highly unlikely, acknowledging the multitude of innocent lives taken back then.
'That’s not funny, even as a joke.'
[Well, I agree with you.]
Chwak!
'Chwiiiik!'
Despite the Black Orcs stubbornly continuing their siege on Nagoya, the city defended by the Bastro Warriors steadfastly refused to fall.
Puuuk!
“Kuheok!”
“Icha!”
Clang!
A Black Orc's glaive pierced through the abdomen of one of the defenders—a human, not a Bastro Warrior. His nearby comrade blocked the Black Orc's follow-up attack and hastily pulled him back.
“Cough!”
“Icha! Are you alright?”
“T-This is nothing... Kuheok!”
It was evident that the weakest link in Han-Yeol’s forces was the Gurkha raid party, suffering numerous casualties against the Black Orcs from time to time.
Unlike ordinary orcs, the Black Orcs were typically intermediate or low-ranking monsters, yet even their weakest members were at least intermediate rank. Their intelligence rendered them formidable opponents in hand-to-hand combat.
Though the Gurkhas had undergone intense training as elite soldiers and had become even stronger after awakening as Hunters, they found themselves unable to overcome the difference in both quality and quantity against the orcs.
Shwooong... Shwaak!
“Kuheok!”
The injured Gurkha was struck by a sudden ball of white mana that seemingly appeared out of thin air, and his wounds were instantaneously healed.
“I-I’m alive!”
“As expected of Han-Yeol-nim!”
Han-Yeol had been healing numerous Gurkhas up to this point, and Icha, the Gurkha currently healed, wasn't the first beneficiary of his abilities.
While some might attribute their surprise to a lack of knowledge or experience as Hunters, the reality was that even the most seasoned among them would be taken aback by such long-range healing skills, as they were exceedingly rare.
Another Hunter capable of performing what Han-Yeol just did was likely the current Pope of Vatican City, a Master Rank Hunter awakened with three healing and buff skills. Known as Marco the Third, he was an exceptionally potent Healer, considered the mightiest pope in Vatican history. He was said to continuously buff and heal all allies within a specific radius around him.
However, this did not place him above Han-Yeol due to a significant difference between them. Pope Marco was a designated Healer, whereas Han-Yeol possessed healing skills without being categorized as a Healer. Moreover, Han-Yeol's ability allowed him to heal distant targets as long as he had a clear line of sight to them.
The Gurkha raid party's morale surged, buoyed by Han-Yeol’s miraculous healing abilities.
“For Han-Yeol-nim!”
“I’ll stake my life for Han-Yeol-nim!”
“Chaaaarge!”
The Gurkha raid party members charged the Black Orcs with their Kukris.
Kaboom!
An explosion erupted in the rear lines of the Black Orcs.
Ding!
[Your level has risen.]
Han-Yeol leveled up to Level 419, gaining several levels while reclaiming and defending Nagoya.
‘Yes!’
While Han-Yeol observed the ongoing war between his forces and the Black Orcs, he was far from idle. Nearly one thousand Black Orcs fell victim to the shelling from his shoulder cannons, causing disruption and disarray among their ranks.
‘Hmm...’
Throughout all of this, Han-Yeol remained nonchalant, his arms casually crossed over his chest, intermittently firing mana shells and Healing Bullets from his shoulder cannons.
The Black Orcs attempted to retaliate with their crossbows, but the three-kilometer distance between them made it impossible for their shots to reach Han-Yeol.
“Krwaaaaah!”
Growing frustrated with Han-Yeol's bombardment, the Black Orcs dispatched flying monsters toward him—around thirty dark-skinned bat-like creatures.
[Kill that arrogant human!]
“Kwaaaaak!”
Each bat-like monster had a Black Orc rider perched upon its back.
Heh.
