Is This the First Time You’ve Seen a Saint Who’s Also Good at Magic?

---

Before the Necromancer unleashed his power, Ji-a and Yu Byeong-jun were in the thick of an intense battle.

Other Hunters were engaged in fierce combat with countless undead hordes.

“Khahaha! Bring it on, all of you!”

Kang Cheol-min swung his massive hammer, charging into the mass of monsters.

He shouted with gusto, “Everyone! Follow me!”

Hunters from the Cheongrim Guild rallied behind him.

Their performance was dazzling.

At least, it was at first.

‘…This is bad.’

Ye Do-hyeong furrowed his brow as he assessed the battlefield.

Yu Byeong-jun’s undead were being well-managed by Kim Ji-a Hunter.

Honestly, he thought they would be overwhelmed, but she wasn’t backing down and was pushing Yu Byeong-jun back.

It was nothing short of impressive.

However, the problem was Kang Cheol-min, who declared he’d take command and then suddenly charged forward.

The group of Hunters that followed him began to get isolated.

This action was a huge disadvantage, especially since they were in an undead dungeon.

‘If we leave this unchecked…’

Kang Cheol-min and the Cheongrim Guild members could all end up as minions of the boss.

Undead revive and replenish endlessly.

But for the Hunters, their numbers dwindle without any way to replenish.

Ye Do-hyeong looked back at the Supporter, Choi Ga-eul, standing behind him.

She seemed incredibly flustered as her skills couldn’t reach the Hunters who had fallen too far behind.

‘…For now, I’ll push as hard as I can!’

Ye Do-hyeong began casting spells.

Soon, bright lightning struck down multiple times, sweeping away the nearby undead swarm.

“Nice!”

“Just as expected from you, Do-hyeong oppa!”

Cheers erupted from various Hunters.

“No casualties allowed! Let’s push forward!”

“Yes! Understood!”

With Do-hyeong’s spirited shout, the Hunters prepared their attack spells.

Colorful magic flew forth, tearing apart the undead.

Emboldened by their momentum, close-range Hunters went wild too.

Up until this point, the Hunters were confident of victory. They had faith in conquering the dungeon.

But then.

BAM!

WHOOOOSH——!

The moment the boss unleashed its true power, the tides of battle began to change.

The undead that came into contact with the pitch-black mana radiated intense morale.

The rate at which the skeletons revived skyrocketed.

On the opposite end, the boss-level monster, the Lich, resurrected.

Conversely, the Hunters felt as if their health was draining away, even just by breathing.

“Khaha! Everyone’s gonna die!”

A woman with a sharp voice laughed from before the throne.

While they didn’t quite understand her words, the Hunters felt a prickling anxiety.

Eventually, a few Hunters from the rear couldn’t hold back and yelled out.

“Ga-eul! Can you do something about this?”

“You’re an A-rank Supporter! Do something!”

They didn’t mean any malice.

They just felt suffocated by the tightening morale, clinging to the best Supporter in Korea.

Ga-eul desperately tried to use her skills to help the Hunters.

However, it was in vain. The difference in scale was simply too great.

In the end, Ga-eul cried out amidst her choked sobs.

“I’m trying! I’m trying hard too!”

The shouting Hunters flinched and trembled.

The female Magic Type Hunter from the Later Group watched in fear.

The heavy air continued to choke her throat.

Honestly, while the situation had escalated, it wasn’t beyond recovery.

Ye Do-hyeong Hunter’s contributions were so remarkable that it was almost blinding.

But the overwhelming mana that clawed at their bodies kept amplifying their fear.

Continuous negative emotions and thoughts emerged.

Could it be that if this continued, we’d all be wiped out?

Will I really die here?

The flood of ominous imaginations filled the female’s head, making her shiver.

And then it happened.

“…?”

Someone placed a hand on her shoulder.

Gently massaging it, they stepped forward.

The woman turned her head to see the person moving ahead.

It was the nun who had been standing quietly until now.

“S-Sister! It’s dangerous!”

The female shouted without thinking.

The nun paused for a moment and looked at her.

Nodding once, she gave a thumbs up.

From the sleeve of her nun’s habit, a beautifully delicate hand peeked out, with the thumb raised high.

Without another word, she continued forward.

The Magic Type woman stared at the scene, dumbfounded.

Si-hyun faced forward.

Honestly, she didn’t want to step up. She resisted against the provocation of the Necromancer.

She wanted to enjoy her comfy healing life a bit longer.

But.

‘…I can’t just sit back.’

Seeing those who were trembling in fear made her feel the need to shed this passive attitude.

Hunters were all putting in such effort.

Should I really just stand by like this? Is this the right action?

In the end, Si-hyun resolved to step forth.

As promised to the Manager, she would save everyone except those who had already died.

Simultaneously, she’d get her revenge on the arrogant Necromancer.

‘Things you did to me. I’ve never forgotten.’

In this otherworldly place, she had endured everything.

The world was on the brink of collapse at the hands of the overwhelmingly powerful Demon King.

She had to survive until the very end and defeat the Demon King to find a way back to Earth.

So she had endured every form of injustice.

‘It’s just that I simply chose not to remember it.’

But this was different.

If she cleared the dungeon, she could return to a comfortable home.

This was a dungeon on Earth, not a world where she had to endure everything.

If she didn’t want to bear it, she didn’t have to.

She could live freely.

No longer would she be oppressed or bound.

By anyone.

‘What I suffered, I will repay in kind.’

Ji-a joined the fray where the Hunters were clashing.

Si-hyun gazed at her figure and then took a firm step forward.

BAM!

WHOOOOM———!

From where Si-hyun stood, a massive divine power and mana exploded outward.

A clash began with the Necromancer’s mana that filled the boss room.

Who was stronger?

Who was the strongest in this place?

Their powers collided fiercely in a battle of might.

Zzztt! Zzztt!

The opposing forces clashed, creating a deafening roar.

And it didn’t take long before the winner was decided.

It was the victory of the Saint, Si-hyun.

“Grrrgh…!”

The Necromancer bit down on his lower lip.

Though he was being pushed back in real-time, he couldn’t comprehend it at all.

Is this really the same species as me?

Just with divine power alone, the gap in strength became insurmountable. He could feel himself being pushed back relentlessly.

Yet the pressure from his opponent didn’t end there.

He was seizing the surrounding mana, claiming the space for himself. His mana was being devoured.

A chilling sensation, like his very flesh was being eaten away.

The Necromancer trembled in fear.

And at that moment, the curtain of judgment began to rise.

“OOOHH!”

“Power! I feel the power rising!”

“Now I feel like I can do anything!”

The Necromancer’s mana receded as he was defeated by Si-hyun.

Simultaneously, Si-hyun’s strength wrapped around the Hunters, empowering them all.

The Magic Type woman who had been watching Si-hyun intently opened her eyes wide, transfixed by the scene.

A beam of light felt like the goddess had descended upon this realm.

BAM!

Si-hyun took another step forward.

As if she had merely been gauging her strength until now, an even stronger and explosive aura surged forth.

“Grrrgh….”

“Kyyaah….”

The weaker undead began to fall one by one.

Their connection to their master severed, they returned to mere lifeless objects.

All the skeletons that had been overwhelming were halted in their resurrection.

Choi Ga-eul, the strongest Supporter in Korea, gaped at Si-hyun in disbelief.

She couldn’t believe what she was witnessing right before her eyes.

BAM!

Si-hyun continued to advance.

The close-combat Hunters, filled with injuries, unconsciously turned their gazes toward her.

The wounds that had once been all over their bodies vanished without a trace.

Not only that, but their weary minds and bodies were rejuvenated, filling them with vigor.

They had never witnessed such powerful magic in their lives.

It felt like they were experiencing a miracle firsthand.

This was the same for Ye Do-hyeong, the leader of the Dawn Guild as well.

His carefully maintained mana began to recover rapidly.

At this rate, he could unleash spells without a worry about his mana supply.

Ga-eul didn’t possess any such skill.

BAM!

Si-hyun pressed on without stopping.

With every ounce of her force, she pressed down on all her adversaries.

Not even high-ranking undead monsters could escape this wrath.

The mana that reinforced them receded, rapidly weakening them.

Conversely, the close-combat high-tier Hunters grew exponentially stronger.

The Master of the Knight Guild, who had been pounding his waist while continuing the battle, sharpened his eyes.

SLASH!

Dozens of undead were sliced apart in an instant.

“Uwahhahaha! Come at me! Bring it!”

Kang Cheol-min, battered but excited, began to rampage.

He felt as though he had surpassed his limits in this extreme situation.

After all, he had grown stronger.

“Phew….”

Si-hyun paused for a moment.

She looked up at the Necromancer standing before the throne.

Si-hyun curled her lips under her veil into a smug smile.

‘Look who’s lost, you pathetic heroine.’

She mocked her opponent using a term she had seen on the internet.

It was so catchy she felt she might use it frequently.

Step by step—

Si-hyun resumed striding forward.

The tides had perfectly turned.

The owner of the boss room was the Necromancer, but the ruler was now Si-hyun.

From now on, this place was Si-hyun’s domain.

“Grrrgh…!”

The Necromancer bit his lips until they bled.

There was no way he could comprehend what had happened.

He missed crucial glimpses after having stepped back from the party.

But at that time, the Saint had been nothing but an insignificant being, undeserving of the title “Saint.”

What on earth had happened since then that turned her into such a monster?

“…”

Whether the Necromancer was flabbergasted or not,

Si-hyun confidently took steps toward the throne.

“Grrrhh!”

“Grrh!”

As if to block Si-hyun’s advance, some undead lunged at her.

SWISH—

But they couldn’t hinder her progress. She dispatched the monsters with smooth motions.

This was Si-hyun’s domain.

“Being a prayer freak, you shouldn’t be trying to act tough!”

The Necromancer thrust his staff forward.

With his dazzling staff, he cast dark magic quickly.

But.

BOOM!

The magic Si-hyun had prepared clashed and nullified his spell.

“D-Don’t come! Stay away from me!”

The Necromancer screamed, frantically casting more spells.

He unleashed shadow blades and tried to bind her with shadows.

He used every trick in his book to prevent Si-hyun from getting closer.

But Si-hyun didn’t once halt her steps.

In a flash, she reached right in front of the Necromancer.

The noise of the Hunters battling the undead echoed from afar.

Before the throne stood only her and the Necromancer.

Si-hyun whispered in a voice so soft it seemed to carry her annoyance.

“…You should have behaved yourself. Why’d you crawl this far?”

“Get lost!”

The enraged Necromancer swung his staff, furious at her taunts.

Si-hyun didn’t even need to draw her sword. She had no reason to be harmed by a weapon swung by a mere novice magic user.

Easily, she caught the staff with her left hand.

With strength, she wrenched the weapon away, throwing it behind her.

The staff tumbled and rolled away, leaving the Necromancer bereft of his weapon.

“…Any last words?”

“Damn you, toy!”

When Si-hyun asked, the Necromancer spat out venomous curses.

She hadn’t expected the conversation would lead anywhere.

Si-hyun didn’t bother to stall the time. Even now, fierce fighting continued behind her.

Lifting her sword to chest height,

She plunged it forward.

THWOOOM—!

The blade pierced the Necromancer’s heart.

“Guh…!”

The Necromancer coughed up blood as he clutched the blade.

He writhed, desperately trying to hold on. His vitality gradually dwindled.

In the end, he left behind one utterance of regret as he met his end.

With an expressionless face, Si-hyun withdrew the sword from his chest.

She kicked the lifeless body away as it slumped down.

Her emotionless gaze followed the rolling corpse.

Desecration of the dead? That person wasn’t worthy of such respect.

‘…I did return what was given to me.’

Si-hyun turned her head to survey her surroundings.

The undead, now devoid of a master, began to disintegrate into dust.

A return portal formed behind the throne.

Without hesitation, Si-hyun dashed out first from the dungeon.

She soon joined Jang Han-soo, who had been waiting nearby.

Before long, Hunters began flowing out one by one through the gate.

Many Hunters looked around in search of their hero who rescued them, but

no one could find the nun who had vanished.
