Chapter 107 - Opening the Gate of Healing (1/2)
‘Will a heal be able to improve Haccid’s condition?’
Soo Hyuk opened his skill window and checked on the Heal skill he obtained from the Gate of Healing a day ago.
***
Romian did not expect you to come back with the key this fast. He was considering it would take about a week, and he also needed a week to prepare and recover from his wounds. Find Romian after a week!
[The Key to the Kelta’s Secret Cave]
[Remaining Time: 1 day]
Quest Rewards: Quest – Cave Exploration
Soo Hyuk checked the remaining time and lifted his head, and looked at the bookshelf.
‘Only one more day left.’
‘I should open them, shouldn’t I?’
Soo Hyuk thought. He didn’t know what situation might occur during the exploration.
‘Yeah, I had to do it anyway…’
He had to open the gate anyways because of the cave exploration with Yeon Joong.[1]
Previously, although he had the time, he procrastinated due to being captivated by reading.
“Archmage’s Subspace.”
Soo Hyuk closed the window and chanted the spell and began to warp to the subspace.
[Warping to the Archmage’s Subspace.]
After arriving at the chamber, Soo Hyuk saw two gates opened, and eight gates closed shut.
Staring at the gates, he headed towards the Gate of Healing, and once he arrived in front of it, he stretched out his hands, and a notification popped up.
[Would you like to open the Gate of Healing?]
‘I wonder what conditions there will be for healing.’
Would the Gate of Healing also have conditions? What would it require him to do?
Soo Hyuk thought as he accepted.
A new notification appeared.
[Opening the Gate of Healing]
[Currently Opened Gates: 2]
[The Tower of Healing will be summoned]
[Destroy the Tower of Healing in 10 minutes.]
Soo Hyuk took a step back.
As the previous times, a magic circle appeared in the middle of the chamber, and two white towers emerged.
‘There’s two of them?’
Soo Hyuk tilted his head and thought,
“Does the difficulty increase as the number of opened gates increase?”
There were only one golem and one toad in the previous openings, but this time there were two towers. It seemed that his hypothesis was correct.
‘I guess that will be its health.’
There was a 100% sign hovering above the two towers. It probably meant the tower’s health percentage.
‘Will there be any danger?’
Soo Hyuk thought as he was observing the towers. The poison toad let out poison once attacked. He was wondering whether the tower would have the same functionality,
“Fire Spear.”
Soo Hyuk threw a Fire Spear at the turret to check,
Klang!
With the sound, the percentage dropped by 1%. Soo Hyuk confirmed that the numbers indicated the health. But all of a sudden.
“What?”
Soo Hyuk was surprised when he saw the 99% return to 100%.
‘It healed?’
It seemed that the tower had recovered its lost health.
‘Well, it would have been weird if it didn’t.’
The tower was called the Tower of Healing for a reason.
“Poison Storm.”
Soo Hyuk cast a spell as he wondered how long it would take him to destroy the towers.
He cast Poison Storm first.
The spell engulfed the tower.
‘I can still see it.’
Soo Hyuk didn’t know whether he would be able to see the health percentage of the tower if the spell consumed it, but it turned out that he could still see it clearly.
‘But… Why isn’t the health dropping?’
The problem was the health didn’t budge from 100%.
‘Is it immune to poison?’
He thought that maybe because the tower was not a living being, it did not take any damage, but at that moment, the percentage dropped to 99%.
“Whew…”
Soo Hyuk let out a sigh of relief after seeing that it did do damage.
‘So poison still works…’
He was concerned about what he would do if the towers were immune to poison.
“Poison Chain, Pool of Poison.”
Free from his worries, Soo Hyuk began to bombard the tower with multiple spells, but he didn’t use any of the fire spells, because it would counter the poison.
If the firepower of the fire spells could instantly destroy the towers, he would have used it, but since it can’t, it’d be better to use poison spells that were continuously damaging spells.
While bombarding the tower, Soo Hyuk thought,
“I wonder how much the tower heals?”
The health of the two towers was constantly dropping, but the rate was remarkably slow.
Soo Hyuk’s poison attacks were not weak, that showed how high the towers’ health and how fast the towers’ recovery rate was.
‘Can I destroy this in 10 minutes?’
If there were no time limits, it would not matter because it would definitely collapse if this continued. But the given time to succeed was 10 minutes.
‘It’s going to be risky.’
Soo Hyuk checked the remaining time and frowned. He couldn’t be sure he would make it in time.
‘If something happens…’
