The Late Game Healer Is Way Too Strong – Chapter 115

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟏𝟓: 𝐑𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝟏

“Just a little hobby of mine. I was invited by Sodervi and Lockheed Martin, you know.”

“Oh, I see. You’re an artifact collector.”

“Min Siwoo. What are you doing? Are you dating the leader of [Stahl]?”

He asked, looking at the woman sitting next to Siwoo.

Siwoo grunted and spoke to Layla, who was curious.

“This is Choi Dae-soo, the President of the Republic of Korea. And this is Layla, the Guild Leader of [Stahl]. Greet them.”

“Hello. I’m President Choi Dae-soo.”

“Nice to meet you. I’m Layla of [Stahl]. We met at the gate that day.”

After a brief greeting, Choi Dae-soo’s gaze turned back to Siwoo.

【𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐠𝐮𝐲 𝐈 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐨𝐧 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞! 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐮𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞! 𝐇𝐚𝐡𝐚!】

“What a funny pet. It seems to be as nagging as its owner.”

“He’s not a pet. And don’t mind his nonsense.”

“But what are you doing here? I didn’t know you were interested in artifacts. Are you really on a date?”

At Choi Dae-soo’s words, Siwoo looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Suddenly having this conversation with this guy.

“. . . Look. It’s not a date, I was invited by the 〈German Hunter Association〉 too.”

“Tsk, tsk, you’re joking. I heard about what happened at the banquet through my sources.”

“It was nothing.”

“When did you grill Rolf Bangenheimer? . . . You’re more of a politician than me.”

“Am I you?”

Choi Dae-soo looked at him with a mocking smile, then began discussing the auction catalog with his secretary.

Looking at the crowd, Siwoo asked.

“Was this event always this big?”

“No, it’s not. This year, there are a lot of people and the items are of high quality.”

Layla told him what she had heard from Felix before she came.

“I heard that the incident at the 〈Korean Gangwon S-Rank Gate〉 had a big impact.”

The items up for auction are mostly magic-related items or artifacts.

It is said that with the outbreak of the S-Rank Gate, the stock of safety and defense equipment has skyrocketed, and people’s interest has also shifted in that direction.

Therefore, the majority of the auction customers are guild members and wealthy or political figures who want personal protective equipment.

“Really? If the gate bursts, won’t everyone die anyway?”

“You have a sharp tongue. That’s why you spend a lot of money because you don’t want to. There are some good items, more than you think.”

Soon, the scheduled time arrived.

Bright lights flashed on the stage and fireworks exploded all around.

“Wow.”

“It’s so cool.”

“Picture, picture!”

“Mommy! Fireworks!”

The customers sitting in the auction hall and the people enjoying various events in the venue turned their eyes to the fireworks exploding in the sky.

A man and a woman walked onto the auction stage with upbeat music.

The crowd applauded and whistled, as if they were watching a show.

The hosts smiled and exchanged comments.

“Hello, everyone. Welcome back to this event!”

“There are a lot of people participating in this auction, which makes it even more lively and bright!”

“Well, then, shall we start today’s auction?”

“Yes! Let me introduce the first item! The first item is━!”

“It’s your life!”

Before the audience could understand what he meant,

A blood-red thunderbolt that seemed to tear through the atmosphere fell vertically from the sky.

Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-!!!!

However, the wrath of the electric shock that seemed to burn everyone gathered was blocked by Siwoo’s huge magic shield and Choi Dae-soo’s shield.

“Oh, my? There are people here who are skilled enough to block this!”

“It was made with data from the S-Rank Gate!”

“Well, then, next auction. . . .”

Scratch!

They didn’t finish their next comment before their necks were cut by Siwoo’s sword.

“Hey, don’t kill him. Capture him. Do some interrogation.”

“Do you think we have time to capture them? Can’t you see the magic boiling all around?”

As soon as Siwoo finished speaking, a huge gust of wind swept through the venue, dark clouds gathered, and lightning began to strike.

Kwagwang-kwangkwang!!

“Layla! Contact Rolf and tell him to take emergency measures.”

“Oh, okay!”

“Oh, my, oh, my. It’s not good to hang out with Min Siwoo.”

Choi Dae-soo took out a cigar, put it in his mouth, and lit it.

The people in the auction hall had already lost their minds and were making a fuss to get out.

“Get out now!!”

“Don’t push, you brats!”

“Stay calm! Everyone!! Stay calm!!”

However, the narrow exit was blocked as people pushed and trampled each other.

Some people even broke the windows and climbed over them, and even the security guards in charge of the auction were overwhelmed and ran away.

“I’ll go to the parking lot first!!”

“Damn it, what are the people in charge doing!”

The people who came out exhaled heavily.

“Hey, what. . . what is that.”

However, they soon regretted coming out first.

In the middle of the venue.

People in ash-colored robes were gathered around something and chanting spells.

On closer inspection, it was a heart lying on the floor.

As the strange spell was repeated, blood gushed out of the heart and spilled onto the floor.

Kuuuu-uuuu-uuuu-!!!

A black gate was created under the dark sky.

“It’s, it’s a gate!!”

“Eek!! Everyone run away!!”

“Please save us! Isn’t there an Awakener?!”

The auction hall was in chaos, both inside and out.

Including the people who were outside the venue to watch the event, there were easily over 10,000 people.

“Is there no one from the association or HSIU here? We need someone to control the situation.”

“I’ll go for now!”

Layla ran off at Choi Dae-soo’s question.

He exhaled cigar smoke and opened his mouth as he felt the magic vibrating all around.

“It’s just one gate, but there’s a lot of foul energy spreading around.”

“My magic sense feels the same way. . . Maybe it’s not one.”

【𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐩 𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞.】

Pre, who was in his inner pocket, poked her head out and said.

“What’s strange?”

【𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐡𝐨𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝.】

“. . . . . .Can’t you use a better analogy?”

【𝐈𝐟 𝐬𝐨, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞-.】

Siwoo covered Pre’s mouth.

However, he soon realized that Pre’s explanation was unnecessary.

“””∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵∵”””

As the strange sound continued, as if dozens of people were crying or breathing upside down, the shape of the gate was reversed.

“What. . . is that?”

“I don’t know.”

Siwoo and Choi Dae-soo muttered.

[Reverse Gate]

A large hand emerged from the black door.

“Does this make sense?!”

【𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐲. ‘𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧.’】

━Kwareeeeeeeeeeee!!

━Ugaaaaaaaaaaa!!

━Kehihi. . . kehihi. . . .

Siwoo and Choi Dae-soo were speechless as they watched the numerous monsters emerging from the gate.

Normally, a gate burst occurs when the monster wave is not blocked.

There has never been a gate that spews out monsters as soon as it is created.

【𝐈𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞.】

“Is that possible?”

Choi Dae-soo asked with a frown.

Pre flapped his small wings and replied.

【𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡.】

“. . . . . . .”

Choi Dae-soo exhaled cigar smoke and said nothing.

“We’ll think about it later. Whether it’s an entrance or an exit, we just have to kill the monsters.”

Choi Dae-soo nodded with a frown at Siwoo’s words.

🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷

Rolf Bangenheimer was working in a temporary office set up on one side of the building.

From time to time, he received reports on the progress of the event and any special incidents.

At that moment, a man who had been sitting on the sofa and half asleep raised his body.

“Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

“Be a little quieter when you stretch.”

“You’re always so boring, old man.”

“Benedict, how about you act in a way that befits your position?”

“What do you mean? Oh, I ran out of coffee.”

Rolf sighed as he looked at the seemingly clueless man.

Benedict Ackerman.

The Guild Leader of the strongest guild in Germany, [Nacht], and a high ranker who is currently ranked 2nd in Germany and 20th in the world.

“I don’t know why someone like you is so popular.”

“Hey, old man. It’s because I’m handsome.”

Rolf shook his head at the good-natured man’s words.

“But it’s quiet for an event.”

“Do you want something to happen?”

“Not really, but. . . Ah! What happened at the banquet? I heard your teacher was there.”

“Did that reach your ears too?”

“Tell me about it. I’m curious.”

Rolf thought for a moment and decided that it wasn’t something he had to keep a secret, so he brought up the old story.

From the moment his house was first destroyed, to when he received Siwoo’s teachings, and when he left.

And how he had achieved what he had based on what he had learned.

“Is that enough?”

“Wow, what is this? There was such a great hunter in Korea? I’ve never heard of him.”

“I can’t tell you any personal details about my teacher. But I heard he was called ‘Mad Dog’ in Korea.”

Benedict collapsed on the sofa.

“Hmm~~~~~.”

“What?”

“I think I’ve heard that name from someone else before.”

“From whom?”

“I don’t remember.”

He closed his eyes and tried to recall the memory, but gave up after 3 seconds.

“Hey. He’s here, so why don’t you meet him?”

“Someone who is related to you is likely to be rude, so no.”

At that moment, the door opened with a knock.

“Isn’t it Luca and Johanna? What’s the matter?”

“We have something to report.”

“I followed you too!”

They stood at attention and reported.

“Association President!”

“Yes, what is it.”

“This venue is about to become a living hell.”

“. . . . . .?”

Rolf frowned as he tried to understand Luca’s words.

“What. . . what do you mean by that? Not now, but it’s going to be?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Yes! That’s exactly what he said!”

Something was strange about the atmosphere.

Rolf glanced at Benedict.

He was looking at Rolf with a smile.

“What’s the point of telling me this?”

“Because you’re in charge here.”

“So? Benedict, are you in on this too?”

“Old man. Life is meant to be fun.”

He chuckled and sat straight up on the sofa.

Pfft.

Rolf gritted his teeth.

If even he is on their side. . . It will be impossible to escape from this place.

‘𝙄𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚?’

“Who the hell are you guys?”

“We don’t matter. The organization is what matters.”

“What?”

“《Everything is under 〈Pandemonium〉》”

“《Everything is under 〈Pandemonium〉》”

Luca and Johanna’s skills were activated and shot at Rolf.

Rolf gathered his magic for a last-ditch effort.

Even if he dies, he will never die alone!!

At that moment, Benedict’s hand went up quickly and magic was emitted from the staff he was holding.

[Time Traveler: Song of the Wanderer]

Kwa. . .de. . .de. . .de. . . .

The skills of Luca and Johanna, which were being shot, stopped in mid-air and instantly returned to particles of magic.

“. . . . . .What?”

Rolf’s eyes widened in surprise.

Benedict moved his staff again.

Luca and Johanna’s bodies collapsed like Lego pieces.

“What are you. . . ?”

As Rolf spoke, Benedict slowly raised his head and opened his mouth.

“Wow, you’re kidding me!! What the hell are these guys?!”

“???”

“Of course I thought it was one of the events!”

“. . . . . . .”

“No, suddenly using skills is crazy, crazy!”

“Um. . . . . . .”

“Oh, my hands are shaking. Do you have any cocoa?”
