Holy Impact!

KWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWANG!

“Uryaryaryaryaryaryaryaryaryarya!”

Physique-noona was endlessly throwing powerful punches toward the Mountain Turtle, each one strong enough to shatter an Iron Golem in a single blow.

A series of consecutive attacks that would be impossible with Physique-noona’s normal endurance.

But.

“HeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeal!”

Woooooong!

It became possible because I was casting recovery magic continuously with my hand on her back.

I already knew from fighting the Ogre Champion in Kellion that magic activates as long as you can roughly pronounce it!

Before Physique-noona’s fists could completely break from the impact of hitting the Mountain Turtle’s shell, I restored her arms back to normal.

To minimize Physique-noona’s pain from her broken arms, I used Heal as quickly as possible.

However.

‘Ah, c-can’t breathe…’

It was inevitable that I would run out of breath from continuously pronouncing the spell.

Tap tap tap!

I tapped Physique-noona’s back, signaling that we should take a break.

“What’s wrong, Jin-sang!”

“B-breath! S-speaking continuously is making me breathless…!”

“Oh!”

“J-Jin-sang! H-here’s some water!”

“T-thank you, Luna-noona!”

I took the water bottle Luna-noona gave me and gulped it down.

“Phew…!”

Ah, refreshing.

“Physique-noona, are your arms okay?”

“Don’t worry! Thanks to Jin-sang’s continuous healing! They’re perfectly fine!”

“They’re not hurting more than usual, are they?”

“Before they can hurt the most! You heal them so they’re totally fine! If it’s hard for Jin-sang! We can slow down the healing pace…”

“No, that’s not acceptable. How could I watch Physique-noona in pain, even if your arms normally break when attacking.”

If I can make it as painless as possible, that’s what I should do.

“Jin-sang…! I’m touched by your warm heart!”

“Oh right, how’s your mana?”

Holy power ultimately uses mana as fuel since it’s converted from mana.

I was worried it might be running low after all that continuous attacking.

“I’m still fine!”

“I’ll restore it anyway. Mana Heal!”

Woooong!

Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve used Mana Heal on Physique-noona.

“Oooooh! I can feel my magical power being restored! Jin-sang is truly amazing!”

“Y-yes! Jin-sang is r-really amazing!”

“Heheheh, I am pretty amazing.”

After drinking water, I looked at the area Physique-noona had been punching.

Certainly, the continuous attacks had created a much deeper dent compared to the untouched areas…

But wait, where’s the end of this thing?

The Mountain Turtle’s shell was over 30 meters across.

Because of that, despite making a dent, we were still far from exposing its flesh despite the thickness we’d broken through.

Moreover, if we kept hitting just one spot, it seemed like eventually her arms wouldn’t reach deep enough.

“Physique-noona, I think we need to hit around the area too to create more space? If we continue like this, your punches won’t reach.”

“I was thinking the same! As long as Jin-sang is here! I can throw punches endlessly! Let’s do our best, Jin-sang!”

“Yes, we must!”

“Then let’s start again!”

“Yes! Ah, try hitting here this time.”

“Understood!”

◈

Two hours later.

“Wooooooooh!!! Finally, we can see the end!”

“Yessssss!”

“W-waaaah!”

Physique-noona, who had been continuously attacking the Mountain Turtle’s shell, me who had been healing her from behind.

And Luna-noona, who had been supporting us by wiping our sweat and bringing us water.

The efforts of us three were finally beginning to bear fruit.

Honestly, from the middle, it was hard to tell if this was monster subjugation or road construction…

But if the result is good, it’s all good!

Although I cast Stamina Heal intermittently, Physique-noona was dripping with sweat after throwing punches continuously for two hours.

Even though Luna-noona wiped it away occasionally, continuously throwing punches is indeed exhausting work.

“Physique-noona!”

“Yes? What is it! Are we starting again?”

“No, not that.”

I took out a handkerchief from the pouch on my belt and wiped the sweat from Physique-noona’s face.

“You’ve got sweat on you.”

“I see! Thank you!”

“Let’s quickly defeat the Mountain Turtle and go wash up. We all look terrible now because of the debris dust.”

Since it had been buried in the ground, the top of the awakened Mountain Turtle’s shell was completely covered in dirt and dust.

Luna-noona beside us also had her ears covered in dirt and dust.

“Understood!”

Physique-noona clenched her fists again with a grip! and surrounded her arms with holy power woooong! as she aimed her fists at the Mountain Turtle’s shell, which now seemed close to breaking.

“Please, Jin-sang!”

“Yes!”

Tap! I placed my hand on Physique-noona’s back again.

“G-go for it!”

Luna-noona cheered us on from the side.

“Now! Let’s start, Physique-noona! Go go go!”

“Go go go! It is! Holy Rush! Uryaryaryaryaryaryaryaryaryarya!”

“HeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeal!”

KWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWANG!

Physique-noona’s fierce punches continued to destroy the remaining Mountain Turtle shell.

KWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWAKWABABAABABABABABABAK!

Midway through, the sound of breaking something changed to the sound of hitting something hard.

And at that moment.

-BWOOOOOOOOO…!

A very heavy and loud voice resonated around us.

We could feel that the result of our two hours of hard work was finally showing.

“Hyah!”

The sound wasn’t high-pitched but was so loud that Luna-noona covered her ears with both hands and closed her eyes tightly.

…Cute!

Meanwhile, Physique-noona, sensing that our efforts were finally bearing fruit.

“Uryaryaryaryaryaryaryarya!”

BABAABABABABABABABABAABAK!

She threw her punches with even more vigor.

If Physique-noona is showing enthusiasm, I can’t fall behind!

“HeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeHeal!”

Physique-noona continued to throw punches, and I continued to heal her.

No matter how much she hit, the Mountain Turtle’s skin wouldn’t break.

-BWOOOOOOOO!!!

Just by hearing the Mountain Turtle’s voice clearly in our ears, we could tell that the impact was definitely getting through.

It was clear that the shock transmitted through the skin was causing significant damage to the Mountain Turtle’s internal organs, like a concussion.

Physique-noona continued to throw punches without rest for about 3 minutes.

Just as I was about to signal that I was running out of breath and needed to drink water, Physique-noona stopped punching, raised her fist high, and said.

“Going for a big one!”

Wooooooong!

The holy power surrounding Physique-noona’s arms shone even more brilliantly, especially around her right fist, to the point where it was dazzling.

“P-Physique-noona! What’s that!?”

“I’m focusing on amplifying the power by concentrating all the holy power I have!”

“Will your arm be okay!?”

“I believe in Jin-sang!”

I mean, I can immediately restore your arm even if it flies off, but still!

“Here I go! Holy… Impact!”

Physique-noona’s fist, filled with holy power, was thrown down toward the Mountain Turtle.

BAAAAAAAK!

SPLUUUASH!

“Heal! Whoa!”

“Kyaa!”

“Ow!”

Along with a very heavy and violent sound, the skin around the Mountain Turtle burst, spraying a large amount of blood on us.

After that.

-BWOOOOOOOO…!

KUWOOOOOOOONG!

With a huge vibration, we were momentarily lifted into the air before falling back onto the Mountain Turtle.

BAM!

When we fell, I hit my head on a piece of shell scattered around.

Ouch! I hit my head on the shell!

“Ooook…!”

That really hurts…!

“H-Heal!”

“J-Jin-sang! A-are you okay!?”

“Jin-sang! Are you in pain?”

“It really hurts…! But thankfully it’s better after healing. But…”

I looked at myself, Physique-noona, and Luna-noona.

We were all covered in the Mountain Turtle’s blood, not just on our faces but all over our clothes.

“Now we look even worse.”

“Ugh, I w-want to wash up quickly.”

“But! It seems we’ve properly defeated the Mountain Turtle!”

Physique-noona raised both hands in joy.

I agreed with Physique-noona’s words.

That shock earlier was definitely from the Mountain Turtle collapsing.

“Then let’s get down now!”

Stab! I thrust the blade of the spear into the torn skin of the Mountain Turtle, and the moment Luna-noona and Physique-noona hugged me, I extended the Yeoui spear to get us up onto the shell.

The depth of the hole we’d dug was over 3 meters, making it quite difficult to climb up by hand.

And when I reached the edge of the shell with heavy steps, I shouted down.

“Nelson-ssiiiiiii!”

I loudly called out to the priest who had helped us climb up.

“Whaaaaat! What happened?!”

Nelson’s voice could be heard from below.

“We’re coming down nooooow! When the spear comes down, please dig a hole and bury iiiiit!”

“Okaaaaaaaaaaay!”

Great!

After receiving Nelson’s answer, I carefully adjusted the angle and extended the Yeoui spear.

“Extend! Yeoui!”

Zhuuuuuuuuuk! The Yeoui spear extended.

Thump! When I felt the sensation in my hand, I stopped infusing mana.

And after a moment.

“It’s doooooone!”

Upon hearing Nelson’s signal, I immediately said to Luna-noona and Physique-noona.

“Luna-noona! Physique-noona! Let’s go down!”

“Okay!”

“Understood!”

Once again, Luna-noona and Physique-noona put their arms around my neck and hugged me from both sides.

Mmm! It’s a bit unpleasant because of the blood, but this kind of hug is really nice!

The warmth felt from both sides proved it.

And we slowly descended, with the corpse of the fallen Mountain Turtle at our backs.
