I've Never Seen a Saint who can use Magic so Well-Chapter 122

With a swift motion, Si-Hyun grabbed Isabelle’s wrist with her empty hand, squeezing with all her strength.

Crack!

The sound of bones snapping echoed. Isabelle, her body weakened by the accumulated debuffs, couldn’t withstand Si-Hyun’s powerful grip.

“Ugh… I thought… I thought if I just killed you, everything would be okay…”

Tears streamed from Isabelle’s eyes as she struggled in pain. Her eyes, now filled with venom, glared at Si-Hyun.

“I’ll see you in the next world.”

Her voice was cold, tinged with bitterness.

The surrounding mana began to distort, swirling ominously. Si-Hyun, sensing the impending danger, kicked Isabelle away with all her might.

Wham!

Boom!

Isabelle’s body slammed violently into the cave wall, collapsing into a limp heap.

Then—

KABOOM—!

A massive explosion erupted as Isabelle detonated herself in a desperate final act.

Si-Hyun, having raised a protective barrier, withstood the blast and remained unfazed, her expression unreadable.

Isabelle, the assassin who had been discarded by the ideal party composition the hero had envisioned, met her end in a way that seemed almost pitiful.

“You’ll find out soon enough…”

Si-Hyun turned without a second thought, her steps leisurely as she returned to her waiting party members.

‘I wasn’t completely caught off guard.’

From the moment she had dealt with the necromancer, Si-Hyun had suspected that this possibility could arise. She had dismissed it, thinking it would be absurd for it to happen, but in the back of her mind, she knew.

‘Let them come, then.’

Whether it was status, appearance, ability, or the empty words of love and admiration—whatever reason other women might fall for him, it wouldn’t change the fact that she would never bow down to him.

Her heart was firm, unyielding. She had no interest in those who were rotten at the core, with their false virtues and decayed ideals.

Hunter Bureau Building, South Korea - Conference Room.

The faces of Manager Jang Han-Soo and Team Leader Ko Jae-Yoon were clearly tense.

The focus was on Japan’s SS-rank dungeon raid.

Two of the main raiders, Jeong Si-Hyun and Kim Ji-Ah, were South Korean hunters, and their success was eagerly awaited.

And then—

“We’ve received word! The SS-rank dungeon raid was a success!”

“As expected!”

“Haha! It only took half a day!”

“Incredible!”

Manager Jang Han-Soo could hardly contain his excitement.

“To them, even SS-rank dungeons must feel like S-rank!”

“There were other countries involved, but I think that’s still a fair point. Hahaha!”

Team Leader Ko Jae-Yoon responded with equal enthusiasm.

This raid wasn’t just any success—it held massive significance. The stakes were far more than just a title.

The world’s first successful SS-rank dungeon raid.

Accomplished by a party of just five members.

It wasn’t even a fixed party; it was a multinational team.

And the leader of the party? A South Korean hunter!

This was truly an extraordinary event!

“Now, if an SS-rank dungeon appears in our country, we won’t have to worry!”

“As long as they keep their promises, they’ll handle it!”

The two men couldn’t stop laughing, caught up in the joy of success.

The excitement wasn’t limited to the Hunter Bureau.

This chapter is updat𝙚d by freeweɓnovel.cøm.

News outlets, the media, and internet communities were ablaze with discussions.

[Korean Pride! Jeong Si-Hyun and Kim Ji-Ah, Perfectly Clear SS-Rank Dungeon!]

[The Miracle of Korean Hunters, Making the Impossible Possible.]

[SS-Rank Dungeon Cleared in Half a Day... A New Chapter in History.]

[“They’ve surpassed the limits of humanity.” The world is stunned by the achievement, Global Sensation!]

The reactions were explosive.

And this wasn’t just about Si-Hyun’s personal success.

Korea began to reap substantial rewards from Japan, as agreed in prior negotiations.

The time had come to fulfill those promises.

A complete lifting of the export restrictions on magic stones.

Easing of restrictions on Korean companies’ investments in Japan.

A promise of technology sharing for new weapon and equipment co-development.

All of these were the fruits of Si-Hyun and her team’s miracle.

Koreans were proudly basking in the glory.

[Title: Wow, the level of national pride is insane]

[ㅇㅇ]

Every time I talk to my foreign friends, the conversation always turns to Jeong Si-Hyun.

Me too, lol.

└ Just say "Jeong Si-Hyun!" and they all know who she is, lol.This raid? No way I couldn’t feel the national pride rising.Honestly, isn’t this more than just national pride? It’s elevating our country’s status, lol.

[Title: A true global hero]

[ㅇㅇ]

Right now, in Japan, Jeong Si-Hyun and Kim Ji-Ah are being hailed as heroes, lol.

I get it, lol.The dopamine is off the charts, lol.Global heroes, wow.I’m even warming up to Jason Turner, lol.

└ He’s basically Si-Hyun’s subordinate now, lol.

└ Haha, yeah, lol.

[Title: Has anyone seen Kurosawa Takeru’s interview?]

[ㅇㅇ]

This guy is a completely different person.

Did he have a moment of reflection with the Saint in the dungeon or something?

Seriously, lol. He was the poster boy for villainous charm, now he’s giving a proper apology, it’s strange.

└ I haven’t seen it yet, but give me the spoilers.

└ Summary: “She is truly the goddess of the battlefield. A true leader.”

└ Wait, Kurosawa said that?

└ Yeah, everyone’s surprised, lol.

The fever that started from the academy dungeon continued to rise.

From the beach dungeon suppression to the world’s first SS-rank dungeon raid.

The heat generated by Si-Hyun’s achievements was still burning strong.

Across the globe.

Screech—Screech—

The rhythmic sound of the subway running gently brushed against my ears. Inside the train heading to Hakone-machi, famous for its hot springs, we had diligently packed our lunch and began eating on board.

“…Hey, unnie.”

“What? You don’t like the lunch? Should I switch it out for you?”

“Nooo! It’s not that...”

Si-Yoon shook her head vigorously.

“The, the figurine, you know... don’t you think it’s a bit too big?”

“Really? I thought, if we’re going to make one, it’s best to have a master craftsman handle it.”

“That’s true, but... it feels a bit overwhelming...”

“Hmm...”

It was meant to be a surprise event, but... did I push it too hard?

Well, it’s a little disappointing, but it can’t be helped.

“Then, just turn it down.”

“Huh? Is it really okay to do that?”

“Isn’t it a good idea to be a bit bossy in Japan like that?”

“Ugh...”

Si-Yoon looked at me with a slightly unfocused expression.

It was the kind of look that might be called ‘bittersweet.’

I guess it wasn’t the answer she had expected.

I smiled brightly as I looked at my younger sibling.

After a moment, she sighed quietly and responded.

“No, I’ll try my best...”

“That’s the spirit! Strike while the iron’s hot.”

“It’s not just water, it’s a tidal wave, so it might turn everything upside down...?”

“I believe in our Momo!”

“Right...”

She answered in a small voice, burying her face in her hands.

Her flustered and shy actions were actually quite cute.

Especially the happy, flushed expression that peeked through her fingers.

Though she tried to act like that, it seemed like she was still excited.

Yes, I believe in my little sister!

With her national treasure-level voice, she has to make it known to the world.

I enjoyed Si-Yoon’s reaction as I picked up my chopsticks.

The rolled omelet in the lunchbox was the first thing to catch my eye.

As I took a bite, it melted softly, and a gentle sweetness filled my mouth.

I nodded in satisfaction, then gazed out at the window.

At that moment, I heard Si-Yoon mumbling quietly.

“…Should we just do a collab now?”

...Oh my god.

Did this conversation really just lead to that thought?

My Si-Yoon is really something else.

She’s not just your average person...

I felt a little overwhelmed.

***

...We arrived at the destination.

As expected, being a famous spot, it was bustling with tourists.

I fiddled with my wide-brimmed bucket hat, which had become an essential item, and surveyed the surroundings.

Rows of souvenir shops lined the streets.

There were unique food stalls in line with the summer theme.

I walked around, checking out the area as we went.

"Look! Let’s try the honey ice cream! Ji-Ah, you’re having some too, right?"

"Shall we try it?"

"Yes, yes! What about you, unnie?"

"Looks delicious. Jason! Do you want some too?"

"Haha! I’ll have some, thanks."

We all happily enjoyed our trip together.

It didn’t take long to reach the hot spring inn.

After checking in, we just dropped our bags in the room and headed right back out.

Jason, who calmly checked the time, spoke up.

"Hmm, the timing’s a bit off."

"Really? Then, how about we take the cable car and just check out the gorge and the dock?"

"Good idea. That’ll give us just enough time to return by dinner."

Ziiing—

"Excuse me, just a moment."

Jason, holding his smartphone to his ear, walked off to a quiet spot.

He was quietly conversing with someone in a low voice.

A little while later...

"Hmm, this is interesting."

"Who was it?"

Jason returned and acted as if he wanted me to ask.

So, I did.

And then...

"It’s Evan. He told me to let you know that he’s finished the improvements on the measurement device."

"Hmm, faster than I expected."

"And he wanted me to pass on a message to the Saint."

"What’s that?"

I tilted my head, asking, and Jason stroked his beard, his face full of curiosity.

"He says that when we return to Korea, he’ll give you an answer to the previous question about the Returner. He wants to discuss it in person for more details."

...This guy.

Is he telling me to come back if I’m curious?

"And then, is he going to talk about evaluations or something?"

"Haha! Evan is definitely not the type to lie. You can trust him. Honestly, I’m curious about what the content might be too."

"Hmm..."

I knew Jason had been in regular contact with Evan.

It seemed like he had finished the evaluation for some reason.

From what he said, it sounds like he passed.

Since our trip was nearing its end anyway,

I’ll make time to meet up with him when we return.
