The Late Game Healer Is Way Too Strong – Chapter 196

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟗𝟔: 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐫 1

In the gloomy evening, the moon was hidden by the dark clouds.

“Excuse me, we need to check your ID.”

The hunter, who had been dispatched after receiving a report, found a suspicious person in the alley.

There was a strange report that a stranger was wandering around the building and digging the ground.

The hunter thought it was the work of a local delinquent or a madman, and headed to the scene of the incident.

He found a man dressed in dull clothes from head to toe and grabbed his shoulder.

“Show me your ID.”

“. . . . . .”

The man being questioned took out his ID card with an expressionless face and handed it to the hunter.

“C. . . Chae Woo-dam. . . Huh? President, hello!”

The hunter, who was looking at the ID card, was surprised by the familiar name and affiliation and bowed his head in greeting.

“. . . . . .”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I had to come because I received a report that there was a suspicious person.”

“. . . . . .That’s fine.”

“Oh! Here’s your ID card!”

The hunter handed the ID card back to Chae Woo-dam with an embarrassed look on his face.

Chae Woo-dam nodded slightly instead of answering and took the ID card.

“No, President of the Association. What are you doing here alone at this hour?”

The hunter realized that he was not a suspicious person and spoke comfortably.

“. . . . . .I’m planting.”

“What?”

“I’m planting eggs.”

“Egg?”

Poof!!

At that moment, thorns that protruded from Chae Woo-dam’s body pierced the hunter’s neck and heart.

“. . . . . .!!”

The hunter grabbed the thorns and struggled with a painful face.

“Seeds need nutrients.”

Chae Woo-dam moved the thorns and moved him over the place he had ‘planted’ the ‘eggs’.

The blood dripping from the hunter soaked the ground.

“Grow well. Grow well.”

“. . . . . .Ack!!”

Creak.

The thorns wrapped around the hunter tightly and broke all the bones in his body, and he soon collapsed and died.

“Is it that easy to kill?”

A black figure rose from the long shadow under the building.

“It doesn’t matter. They don’t grieve for Eunju’s death. Those guys are cheap even if they die.”

“Hehehe. I see. Are you done planting the eggs?”

“Yeah. I planted them all.”

Chae Woo-dam smiled at Penelshul with a shadowy face.

The pinnacle of modern technology created by world-class defense companies such as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, Kirov, and Colt, Humanoids.

Even a simple mass of machinery would be incredibly powerful.

Robots heavily armed with magic engineering and all kinds of spells were each a weapon in themselves.

The ultimate goal of defense companies is to create robots that will replace hunters and protect humanity.

The humanoids deployed at the stadium that day were divided into different rounds according to their strength and power.

The robots released in the 1st or 2nd stage were capable of simple attacks, and as the round increased, their magic resistance and attack power also increased.

In particular, from the 8th to the 10th stage, each robot was so powerful that it could suppress the battlefield even if it was deployed alone in a conflict zone.

Zakariya, ranked 8th in the world, played until the middle of the 8th stage, and Koga Haruki, ranked 4th, collapsed in the early 9th stage.

And Giovanni Barberini, the second-ranked man closest to being the strongest, finished the 9th stage and gave up in the 10th stage.

Even those three high-rankers were on the verge of being eliminated due to accumulated damage when the game ended.

“Damn!! From the 6th stage onwards, it’s more of a weapon than a monster, so call all the rankers near the stadium!”

The defense company’s system administrator covered his forehead with his hand as if he had a premonition of what would happen in the future.

‘𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘶𝘱 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬 𝘪𝘵. . . 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘎𝘪𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘪 𝘉𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘪 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘶𝘱 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 10𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘦𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳.’

He recalled Barberini’s face as he grimaced and refused.

During the game, the robots came out in order, and there was some time for the hunters to catch their breath and organize their magic power before moving on to the next round.

But not now.

If all the robots rushed out and ran wild at once, they would not be able to catch their breath, let alone have a moment to breathe.

“Did you tell them to broadcast a warning?!”

“Yes, I did!”

“Did you input the new command?”

“That. . . No matter what command I enter, an error occurs.”

“If it doesn’t work, turn off the power!”

“Boss, nothing works. It seems like the damage and spells that have accumulated throughout the game are overloading the code. This is not something we can do, but the magic engineering team needs to fix the spell. . .”

The administrator felt suffocated.

He couldn’t think of a way to stop it.

“First, ask other defense companies to procure artifacts. . . Hey, call the high-rankers quickly.”

He said to his subordinates with a pale face.

Dozens of people will die and get hurt before the high-rankers arrive.

Not only that. Not to mention the career he had built up so far, he would go to prison with his social reputation tarnished.

First of all, the hunter who faced the robots in the stadium would die.

The administrator watched the broadcast camera, unable to hide his sorry feelings and hoping that the hunter would run away quickly.

There was still a man standing alone in the stadium.

🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷

Siwoo looked closely at what came out from beyond the wall.

He didn’t feel the same level of intimidation, magic, or anything like that from humanoids as he did from humans, demons, or monsters, but he could at least tell how strong they were.

An emergency broadcast came out from the stadium along with an alarm sound.

The audience watching the game fell into chaos at the urgent message to run away.

It was the first time in this tournament that so many robots had come out at once.

“Master, run away quickly!!”

At that moment, Kang Yeo-hwa, who was watching the test from the audience seats, ran towards Siwoo along with other members.

“Those guys are tougher than I thought. I’ll stop those who rush in using my magic, so step back here.”

“I also stopped at the 8th stage, master.”

“Little Master~ If the people here block together, won’t we be able to hold until reinforcements arrive?”

When Lo-an spoke at Seigen’s words, Benedict expressed a different opinion.

Anyway, it would take some time for the high-rankers to come and stop them.

“I will follow what Older Brother says!”

“I will also do as the Guild Leader says.”

“Me too.”

“I will join your plan.”

Uljibataar, Choi Kang-yul, Gi Il-lyeon, and Layla expressed their intention to join.

“Hahaha! The Mad Dog has more support than I thought. First, I will squeeze out my magic power to stop their movements.”

“Hold on a second.”

The moment Do Kyung-hoo burst into laughter and tried to take the lead, Siwoo stopped him.

“Why, Mad Dog?”

“I’m still in the middle of my game.”

“. . . . . .What?”

The party made faces as if they found it hard to understand what Siwoo was saying.

“Why are you guys like that? It’s still my turn, so everyone get out of the way.”

“Oh. . . Min Siwoo, didn’t you hear that it’s an emergency?”

Siwoo frowned at Do Kyung-hoo.

“It’s an emergency for the weasels, not for me.”

Do Kyung-hoo looked at Siwoo and the others alternately with a bewildered expression.

Even Seigen, who had played this game, had a bewildered face.

“Is it okay not to stop him?”

Seigen asked Siwoo’s disciples.

At this, Lo-an and Kang Yeo-hwa looked at each other and shrugged.

“If master says so, I will.”

“I also trust master and will wait because he said it’s not an emergency.”

Their eyes naturally turned to Siwoo.

Clack.

The magic power released from the dantian surged out like a huge wave.

‘𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘵 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦?’

Siwoo released his energy.

Crack.

The floor cracked.

Tiny cracks appeared in the atmosphere.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!!

An enormous pressure crushed the stadium and the surrounding air changed.

A chilling energy that tingled to the bone marrow wrapped around the surroundings like a winter gale.

Siwoo slowly inhaled and exhaled.

When he released the energy he had been holding in, he felt free as if he had taken off a thick coat.

His eyes sank.

His face, full of boredom, gradually turned expressionless.

The superior energy that surged and gushed out from Siwoo bared its teeth as if it would devour the stadium.

Not only the party watching from behind, but even the audience who were running away stopped in their steps and opened their mouths at the oncoming chills.

It was a disaster that faced disaster.

It was a stronger force that suppressed a strong force.

Thud. Thud.

People began to faint one by one.

It wasn’t even that they had directly faced the energy.

It was the biological instinct that the difference in energy created.

Siwoo added his own magic power to it and mixed it together.

Rumble!!

The walls of the stadium collapsed and the ground was overturned in several places.

Every space in the building vibrated as if an earthquake had occurred.

‘𝘏𝘦’𝘴 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘻𝘺. . .!’

Seigen leaned on his cane to support his staggering body and stared at the man in front of him.

Even in Japan. . . No, it was the highest level of energy he had ever encountered in his life.

This was the first time he had felt the emotion of ‘fear’ when looking at his opponent.

Not only Seigen, but the whole party felt similar feelings.

Someone felt fear.

Someone felt despair.

Someone felt awe.

Robots with LED eyes lit up and rushed in one by one.

There was no extra movement in their movements.

The robot’s calculation ability to bite the opponent’s neck in the best possible route.

Zzzzeeeeeeeng!!

However, the robots that entered Siwoo’s radius were flattened like scrap metal crushed by a press machine and rolled around on the floor.

“Whew.”

Siwoo walked towards the humanoid.

His cold eyes seemed colder and more indifferent than the LEDs emitted by the machine.

Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuung!!

Once again, a huge amount of magic power and energy surged towards them like a wave, and the robots within the radius were crushed and shattered.

Already, dozens of machines had been smashed in one blow without even making a proper attack.

“He’s become a monster. . .”

Do Kyung-hoo muttered with a mixture of fear and jealousy in his eyes.

In the past, he felt that there was a difference of one sheet of paper.

He thought that if he swung his sword and swung it, he would be able to catch up someday.

After Siwoo returned.

He hadn’t seen his full power, but after seeing him fighting the devil, he realized the difference.

A distance that was difficult to catch up with effort.

That’s why he had dedicated himself to learning from him, regardless of the eyes of others.

However, it was only today that he could fully realize it.

The existence called Min Siwoo was already flying to a distant place that he could not even see.

Beep━ Beep━ Beep!

The humanoids of the 8th, 9th, and 10th stages, who had been watching for a while because they had no information on Siwoo, raised their bodies at once.

They made Siwoo face off against the advance team and tried to measure his attack patterns and strength.

And as if they had finished collecting information, they simultaneously switched to attack mode.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

The pinnacle of high technology that had made even Giovanni Barberini, ranked 2nd in the world, give up halfway.

The defense company’s maximum power, equipped with the power of magic engineering and magic stone, aimed its guns at Siwoo with extreme magic resistance and destructive power.

“Hmm.”

Siwoo just raised his palm.

The moment the humanoid’s assault, equipped with lasers, small missiles, machine guns, and magic dispensers, burst into flames,

Bang!!!

Siwoo’s strength was compressed into one place.

🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷

After a while.

The high-rankers who heard the urgent rescue news arrived.

And they were met with a single lump of scrap metal that had been crushed like clay.

Siwoo’s power was compressed into one place.
