I've Never Seen a Saint who can use Magic so Well-Chapter 114

The close-combat hunters were accumulating injuries, while the ranged attackers were rapidly draining their mana reserves.

Potions were consumed liberally, but it felt like pouring water into a bottomless barrel.

They weren’t even given a moment to breathe, only sinking further into the quagmire.

‘Where are the reinforcements?!’

Sato grit his teeth in frustration.

And then—

"Reinforcements are here!"

"We’re joining the fight!"

A voice of hope!

Sato turned his head quickly, his expression brightening.

Several hunters were rushing toward them, spreading out to intercept the monsters that had broken through.

For the first time, it felt like a spark of hope ignited.

Boom—Crack!

Crash! Bang!

The Japanese hunters fought ferociously.

Explosions echoed across the battlefield, blood splattering in all directions.

With the reinforcements, the situation slightly improved.

But…

‘Damn it, we don’t have enough high-ranking hunters!’

The overall battle still hadn’t shifted decisively.

The strongest among the reinforcements was an A-Rank hunter.

Most of them were B-Rank, and there wasn’t a single S-Rank among them.

While having reinforcements was better than nothing, it was far from sufficient to handle monsters from a rampaging S-Rank dungeon.

The consequences of Japan’s failure to field SS-Rank hunters were glaringly evident.

"Sato-san, we can’t hold on much longer!"

"If we retreat now, it’s all over! Push through with everything you’ve got!"

"Argh! I’m going to die here!"

A melee hunter from Sato’s party groaned, but he loyally obeyed his leader’s orders.

He clenched his lips tightly and swung his sword once more.

‘We can still hold… but not for long.’

Without higher-level support, it was only a matter of time before they fell.

The situation was growing increasingly precarious, like a flickering candle in the wind.

Just as Sato Ichiro was preparing to make a desperate decision—

"Ha ha ha!"

"We’re here to help!"

Suddenly, someone shouted in Korean.

Sato turned toward the voice.

Running toward him was a bikini-clad woman holding a spear.

Beside her, a tall Western man with bulging muscles was charging in.

The high-ranking hunters Sato had been praying for had arrived.

With their intervention, a significant change finally took place.

Thud!

Jason, having enhanced his body, leapt high into the air and landed boldly among the monsters.

The creature beneath his feet was instantly crushed flat.

"Grrr?"

"Kreeek?"

The monsters reacted to the unexpected intruders, their focus naturally shifting toward Jason.

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

A barrage of claws and kicks rained down on him.

Yet Jason stood unfazed, enduring every attack without taking any visible damage.

Meanwhile—

"Ha ha! Is that all you’ve got?"

Jason’s eyes gleamed sharply as he swung his massive fists.

Whoosh—Smash!

"Graaaah!"

The monster he struck flew backward, smashing through several others before slamming into a rock and collapsing unconscious.

"Next!"

Jason didn’t stop moving.

He unleashed a series of lightning-fast kicks.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

With each sweeping kick, multiple monsters were sent tumbling across the sandy beach.

Jason was the epitome of a multi-role tank, excelling in both offense and defense.

Thanks to him, Sato’s melee hunters finally caught a breather.

Meanwhile—

"Haap!"

Ji-Ah darted across the battlefield with unrelenting speed, taking full advantage of her agility.

Slash—Swoosh!

Her frost-laden spear traced vivid blue arcs through the air, slicing through the monsters with precision.

Every strike found its mark, hitting vital points without fail.

"Graah!"

"Kreeeek!"

As monsters fell one after another, Ji-Ah continued her relentless advance.

‘No more monsters can escape this area!’

That was the only way to minimize the damage. Ji-Ah’s eyes gleamed with resolve.

Tap-tap-tap!

Her rapid footsteps left a trail of dust as she dashed across the beach.

At times, she twisted her body to evade attacks.

At others, she struck down her enemies with deadly efficiency.

Ji-Ah moved like a graceful swallow, her fluid movements leaving monsters unable to halt her charge.

Everywhere her icy spear passed, blood sprayed across the sands.

Thanks to her efforts, the number of monsters escaping the area dropped to nearly zero.

Simultaneously, the ranged hunters were able to recover their composure.

‘This… this is incredible!’

The overwhelming strength of the S-Rank hunters was undeniable.

Watching the ideal reinforcements at work, Sato Ichiro couldn’t help but smile.

‘We can do this. At this rate, we’ll manage!’

While the monsters that had already escaped into the city were beyond their reach,

handling the ones before them now seemed possible.

Of course, the battle wasn’t over.

The monsters kept pouring out of the gate.

The fight remained grueling.

But…

At least the worst-case scenario had been averted.

Now, it felt like something they could handle with enough effort.

And with more reinforcements likely on the way, hope reignited in Sato’s heart.

He drank another potion.

Gulp. Gulp.

‘Huu…’

A slow, steady sensation of mana refilling.

Sato Ichiro began preparing his signature ice magic once again, methodically reducing the monsters' numbers.

"Graaaaah—!"

"Kreeeeek—!"

But no matter how many they killed, more monsters spilled from the gate.

As soon as their numbers decreased, even larger waves emerged.

The cycle of fighting and replenishing seemed endless.

Occasionally, additional Japanese hunters arrived, but none of them were S-Rank.

Even with Ji-Ah and Jason’s dazzling performances, the situation remained perilous.

Then, it happened.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The final monster appeared.

The dungeon’s boss had finally emerged from the gate.

"The boss already?! That’s way too soon!"

"This is insane!"

The hunters froze, their tension palpable.

They were barely managing to deal with the previous waves of monsters.

Now, they had to face the boss as well? It was a moment of utter despair.

GROOOOAR!

The boss let out a thunderous roar, announcing its arrival.

It was a massive, demonic beast.

Crimson skin, rippling muscles, and blazing eyes.

A pair of enormous horns jutted imposingly from its head.

What stood out most, however, were its arms.

The beast’s grotesquely overdeveloped limbs were encased in muscle, veins bulging as if ready to burst.

"Oho! Now this looks worth fighting!" Jason grinned, his excitement evident.

While the hunters around him were on edge, Jason alone seemed to revel in the situation.

‘…He really is just as the rumors say.’

Sato Ichiro exhaled deeply.

Jason’s confidence was reassuring, but his carefree attitude was ill-suited for the crisis at hand.

‘We need to thin out the remaining monsters first.’

Sato decided, readying another spell.

Then, a sudden roar of celebration erupted from a group of scattered hunters.

"My wounds! They’re healing!"

"I feel… energized!"

Sato turned instinctively toward the commotion and froze, his eyes widening.

‘That woman…!’

A strikingly beautiful figure was approaching swiftly, cutting through the chaos like a hero arriving at the perfect moment.

‘It’s Jeong Si-Hyun! The Korean hunter!’

There was no mistaking her.

Her distinctive features, the fluid precision of her movements as she dispatched monsters with ease—it was unmistakable.

Most of all, there was that skill.

FWOOM—!

From Si-Hyun, a massive wave of energy rippled outward, radiating in concentric circles.

Hunters who had been gasping for breath moments ago suddenly regained their vigor, charging back into the fray with renewed fervor.

"Graah!"

A monster lunged toward Si-Hyun, blocking her path.

THWACK!

With a single kick, the creature was sent flying like a bowling pin.

The surrounding hunters quickly swarmed the downed monsters.

"Attack!"

"Take them down!"

The hunters, invigorated by Si-Hyun’s presence, fought with newfound determination.

The weariness and desperation from earlier vanished, replaced by a blazing spirit of confidence.

"Amazing! You’re incredible!"

"Thank you! You’ve saved us!"

Cheers erupted as the hunters acknowledged Si-Hyun.

She had become the battlefield’s undeniable star.

Her mere presence was shifting the tide of battle entirely.

‘…Now the question is,’ Sato thought, watching Si-Hyun intently, ‘who will have the greater impact—the boss or her?’

As the thought crossed his mind, Si-Hyun’s gaze met his.

For a moment, she paused, nodded slightly, and then sprinted toward him.

Sato was taken aback by her sudden action but stood his ground.

When she reached his range, Si-Hyun extended her hands, unleashing a full-power buff.

The effects were instantaneous.

"O-Ooooh! What is this?!" Sato shouted in astonishment.

"Hahaha! The power! It’s… incredible!"

An overwhelming surge of strength coursed through him.

His mana, which had been nearly depleted, began to refill at an unprecedented rate.

‘I… I can do this!’ Sato thought, exhilarated.

He raised his voice, letting everyone hear his confidence.

"Prepare for a large-scale spell! Everyone, take cover!"

The melee hunters, sensing the intensity of his magic, quickly retreated to a safe distance.

Sato extended his staff, channeling mana into its tip.

The air crackled as his power condensed, gathering for a massive ice spell.

Finally, with a triumphant shout, he unleashed it.

CRACKLE—SHATTER!

The temperature plummeted.

"What… what is this?!"

"My God… am I seeing this right?"

The entire battlefield froze over.

It was as if the seasons had suddenly reversed. Frost spread across the sand, encasing monsters in ice. The oppressive heat of the boss’s aura was extinguished in an instant.
