Are you really a healer?

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to come face-to-face with your doppelganger? What would you do if you encountered someone who looked exactly like you, mirroring your every feature? Now, imagine being thrust into a completely unfamiliar world, where everything around you is strange and daunting. The sudden change in your surroundings is overwhelming, but it's in these moments of uncertainty that we discover our true strength—the ability to adapt, to strategize, and to overcome. Faced with such a challenge, what would be your plan of action? Consider this: What if all your wildest dreams suddenly became reality? The fantasies you once entertained are now within your grasp. What choices would you make? What path would you follow? In this story, the stakes are high. Are you ready to fight? Ready to emerge victorious? Do you have what it takes to survive the trials ahead and come out on top? This fantasy novel chronicles the journey of Gabriel, a young man who unexpectedly finds himself in a mystical world, where he must harness newfound powers and confront formidable challenges. The heart of the story lies in Gabriel's "Awakening"—a transformative process that grants him special abilities and assigns him to a "Support Class," specifically as a healer. While the role of a healer might seem passive, Gabriel's journey is anything but. His path is marked by intense battles, profound personal growth, and the gradual unveiling of deeper mysteries within the world he now inhabits. As Gabriel ventures further into this unknown realm, he encounters dangerous foes, including a formidable figure whose power rivals his own. Each battle tests Gabriel's resolve, pushing him to explore the full extent of his abilities. The narrative delves into the broader lore of this world, where mystical realms, dungeons, and the enigmatic force known as mana play critical roles in shaping destinies. Gabriel's evolution is intertwined with the complexities of his unique talents, which allow him to reverse the effects of his abilities—transforming healing into damage, for instance. This power becomes a double-edged sword, offering both advantages and challenges as Gabriel learns to wield it. The story masterfully weaves together elements of magic, combat, and personal discovery. Gabriel's trials reflect not only the external dangers of the mystical realms but also his internal struggle to realize his potential as an Orion—a protector and warrior in this perilous world. Through his journey, Gabriel comes to understand that true strength lies not just in physical prowess, but in the ability to adapt, to grow, and to harness the power within.

Chapter 66: The Final Strike

Gabriel's command echoed through the battlefield. His voice, filled with determination, spurred his team into action.

"Now!" he urged again, his eyes scanning the battlefield, calculating their every move. "Everyone, hit it with everything you've got!"

Zhao Kong, freed from the snake's crushing grip, took a deep breath, feeling the remnants of Gabriel's [Light Barrier] still shimmering around him.

"Thanks, Brother Gab! Now it's time to return the favor!" He lifted his massive shield and charged forward, activating [Shield Might]. His shield glowed, emanating an aura that provoked the Vine Snake, forcing its attention solely on him.

CLANG!

The Vine Snake, enraged and desperate, lashed out with its venomous fangs, attempting to deliver a [Venomous Bite] to Zhao Kong. The strike was swift and deadly, but Zhao Kong stood firm, raising his shield just in time to block the attack.

The powerful venom collided with the shield, but the [Goddess Blessing] absorbed most of the damage, leaving Zhao Kong with only a minor scratch.

TWANG!

Elton, positioned at the back, took advantage of the distraction. He drew back his bowstring, his eyes narrowing as he activated [Concentration]. The skill infused his next attack with a deadly precision.

"This one's for you, Zhao!" he called out, letting loose a [Piercing Arrow] aimed straight for the Vine Snake's vulnerable underbelly.

WHOOSH! CRITICAL!!

-14,540 HP

The arrow flew true, striking the snake with a force that pierced through its tough scales. The snake writhed in pain as the arrow embedded deep into its flesh.

Vine Snake HP: 835,480/970,000

But Elton wasn't done. He quickly followed up with [Arrow Shower], releasing a barrage of arrows that rained down on the Vine Snake, each one striking with explosive force.

The snake hissed and recoiled as the arrows detonated on impact, causing significant damage.

Meanwhile, Jane was already on the move.

 

SWISH!

 

Her body blurred as she activated [Phantom Steps], her speed increasing exponentially. She circled the Vine Snake, her steps leaving afterimages in her wake. The snake, struggling to keep up with her rapid movements, lashed out with its tail, but Jane was too fast. She dodged effortlessly, using her momentum to leap into the air, summoning her [Shadow Clones].

WHOOSH!

 

WHOOSH!

 

WHOOSH!

 

Three identical clones appeared beside her, each wielding a dagger that gleamed ominously. "Let's end this, girls!" she whispered, before all four of them descended upon the Vine Snake with a synchronized [Phantom Strike].

SLASH!

Each clone struck a vital point, their blades slicing through the snake's thick hide. The Vine Snake screeched in pain, its massive body convulsing as it tried to shake off the relentless assault. In response, the Vine Snake instinctively activated [Camouflage], its body blending seamlessly into the surrounding environment. For a moment, the battlefield fell eerily silent as the snake disappeared from sight.

Gabriel's eyes widened. "Jane, be careful! It's trying to hide!" he warned.

But Jane was ready. Smirking, she activated [Night Cloak], a skill that revealed hidden enemies. The Vine Snake, though camouflaged, was now outlined in a faint, glowing silhouette.

"Not this time," Jane muttered as she prepared for another strike.

At that moment, Gareth, who had been charging his mana, unleashed his most powerful spell yet. "Feel the wrath of the heavens!" he roared, conjuring a massive [Meteor Storm].

WHOOSH!

 

BOOM!

 

BOOM!

The first meteor came crashing down from the sky, striking the Vine Snake with explosive force.

Vine Snake HP: 712,980/970,000

The Vine Snake thrashed violently, its body a twisted mass of charred scales and seething fury. It lashed out once more with its [Toxic Vines], targeting Gabriel, trying to stop the source of its torment.

 

WHOOSH!

 

The vines shot toward Gabriel with blinding speed, but Gabriel was prepared. He activated [Tailwind], enhancing his reflexes and movement speed. With a swift sidestep, he narrowly avoided the vines, watching as they crashed into the ground where he once stood.

"Nice try," Gabriel murmured, his focus never wavering. He quickly cast [Cleanse], purging his team of the remaining debuffs and restoring their vitality.

With his team rejuvenated, Gabriel prepared his final move. He raised his staff to the sky, calling upon the divine power of the heavens.

"This is the end!" he declared, his voice resonating with authority.

ZAP!

A pillar of divine light descended from above, striking the Vine Snake with overwhelming force. The power of [Celestial Judgment] pierced through the snake's defenses, inflicting catastrophic damage.

Vine Snake HP: 611,167/970,000

The Vine Snake, now on the brink of death, gathered its remaining strength for one last desperate attack.

HISS!

It lunged at Gabriel, its fangs bared and dripping with venom. But before it could strike, Zhao Kong intervened, slamming his shield into the snake with a powerful [Earthsmash].

BOOM!

 

The ground trembled as Zhao's shield made contact, sending shockwaves through the earth. The Vine Snake, already weakened, was unable to withstand the force. It let out one final, agonized hiss before collapsing to the ground, its massive body lying still.

Vine Snake HP: 608,667/970,000

Zhao panted heavily, his energy nearly spent. "That... was for trying to crush me," he muttered.

The rest of the team, equally exhausted, gathered around the fallen beast. Jane's breath came in ragged gasps, and Elton's arms trembled from the strain of firing so many arrows. Even Gareth, usually calm and composed, was visibly drained.

Gabriel, however, still had energy left. His eyes remained sharp, his senses attuned to the battlefield. He stepped forward, placing a hand on the Vine Snake's head, preparing for the final blow. "Thank you, everyone. Let me finish this."

He raised his staff one last time, channeling his remaining mana into a concentrated blast of light.

WHIRL!

The air crackled with power as he unleashed [Light Hurricane], a storm of holy energy that struck the Vine Snake with surgical precision. Each hit from the light storm was like a hammer, breaking the last vestiges of life from the snake.

The Vine Snake twitched as its life force dwindled, but Gabriel wasn't finished. With one final push, he summoned a [Healing Totem].

THRUM!

The totem radiated a soothing light, mending his allies' wounds and simultaneously delivering a powerful shockwave to the Vine Snake.

-75,768 HP

Vine Snake HP: 288,549/970,000

The Vine Snake's body convulsed, its tail thrashing weakly. It had no strength left to fight. Gabriel saw his opening and activated [Celestial Judgment] once more, summoning a radiant beam of light that struck the Vine Snake with a final, devastating blow.

ZAP!

Vine Snake HP: 136,739/970,000

"Let's end this," Gabriel whispered. He raised his staff high, casting [Goddess Blessing] on himself and his teammates.

GLOW! A divine light enveloped them, their strength renewed for one last attack.

 

[AtkUp] Increase Patk/Matk by 50%

[Shield] Block damage equal to 6 times the casters HP.

[Immunity] Immune to all negative buff.

As the glow surrounded them, Gabriel unleashed his final attack, a [Celestial Judgment] imbued with all his remaining power.

FLASH!

The beam of divine energy tore through the Vine Snake, obliterating what was left of its life force.

The battlefield fell silent. The Vine Snake's body went limp, its life extinguished. Gabriel lowered his staff, his chest heaving with exertion.

A notification pinged in Gabriel's system:

[Ding! You have killed Vine Snake, Exp + 19,000]

[Ding! You have defeated the Vine Snake! You have received a Demon Beast Core (Vine Snake).]

[Ding! You…]

Gabriel smiled faintly, looking at his exhausted but victorious teammates. "We did it," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.

The rest of the team collapsed to the ground, their bodies aching from the intense battle. Jane wiped sweat from her brow and Elton slumped back, his bow slipping from his fingers. Gareth knelt on the ground, his breathing heavy, and Zhao leaned on his shield, too tired to move.
