The Late Game Healer Is Way Too Strong – Chapter 200

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟎: 𝐔𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 2

Giovanni brushed off the bloodstains on his gray suit and straightened his tie.

With both hands, he combed his side hair to tidy up his look.

“Hmph. Being a gentleman means being clean.”

The series of actions flowed as naturally and smoothly as his masculine appearance.

If not for the blood staining his white dress shirt or the flesh of another person stuck to his shoes, he would have seemed quite convincing.

Siwoo was taken aback by the pretentiousness that Giovanni displayed, as if he were a dignified model in an advertisement.

On the other hand, the composure with which he could act so nonchalantly even in a situation like this, and the arrogance that disregarded his surroundings, were also proof of his strength.

“Your expression is not one of joy for someone who has easily blocked my skill. Mister—?”

“Min Siwoo.”

“Oh, right. So you’re Min Siwoo. I remember Choi Dae-soo mentioning you a few times. I laughed because he said you were as strong as him. I didn’t know you’d be this big though.”

“Thank you. Did they not mention me in 〈Pandemonium〉?”

“Kukuku. . . Ahahahaha!”

Giovanni burst into laughter.

His sudden madness startled the hunters who were approaching in a line.

“You are, kukuku, you are a truly funny guy. I didn’t think there would be someone who would mention 〈Pandemonium〉 to me in this situation. What kind of mental structure do you have? Diakan or Crowel would find you interesting.”

“Thank you for the compliment. Should I put you in a room next to Crowel?”

Giovanni shook his head and gave a faint smile.

If one were to look only at his appearance, one would think it was the warm smile of a handsome man.

“Master, please give me one more chance. This time, I will blow his head off.”

“Sister, your compatibility is too bad. I want to help because I don’t have good compatibility with him either, but there’s a limit.”

Crow poured cold water on Namir, who was overcome with rage.

It wasn’t a wrong statement.

Namir’s [Petrification] was difficult to activate, and its power was far too great compared to its difficulty.

It was a kind of gift she had acquired due to her bloodline as a half-demon.

However, even though it was a trait that shined in close combat, it was difficult to use her ability if her opponent used a technique that made it difficult to approach.

Giovanni Barberini was a combat hunter who excelled in close combat and also handled poison that attacked and defended at the same time.

There was a way to approach by solidifying the poison with Petrification one by one, but considering that she could be attacked in return depending on the timing and magic power control, it wasn’t a very good strategy.

“I’ll deal with him, so Namir, you deal with the others.”

“But master. . .”

Namir looked at Siwoo with eyes full of worry.

Of course, she didn’t think he would lose to Giovanni, as she had seen Siwoo’s strength a long time ago.

However, it was inevitable that she would worry about him, regardless of her feelings.

To her, Siwoo wasn’t a man, but the world itself.

Not only had he taken her life, but he had also built and protected the entire environment in which she could live, and had even taught her how to become strong.

He was someone who could not be described as anything less than a savior.

“I’ll be back soon, so stay organized.”

Siwoo patted Namir’s shoulder and faced Giovanni.

“Hmm—really. There’s definitely a difference between what I’ve seen in Kaise’s ‘sight’ and what I’m seeing now. I never thought the half-demon queens would bow down like this. It seems that you’re a bigger obstacle to the organization than I thought.”

“From my point of view, 〈Pandemonium〉 is also a hindrance.”

“Ahahahaha! You’re so arrogant because you once cornered the 4th Realm Demon King in the past. There are many people in the world who are better than you, kid.”

Siwoo turned his neck left and right.

He completely agreed with the statement that there were many strong people in the world.

It was sheer arrogance and recklessness to think that just because he was a little better than others in South Korea, he would be better internationally.

The world was vast and there were many strong people.

However, such ridiculous nonsense didn’t suit a person who had fought with enemies in another world for 100 years.

“Let’s see who the kid is.”

“That’s why it’s hard to deal with you kids. You need proper education.”

Giovanni unbuttoned his suit.

His aura, which had been sluggish until just now, sank coldly like a brick.

A solid silence.

It flowed slowly, as if only this space had more time.

He could feel himself inhaling and exhaling.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

The air vibrated in layers as Giovanni’s aura peeled off one by one.

Like an adult insect breaking out of its cocoon and into the world, the changing sensation awakened all the magic power in the vicinity.

Soon, all the momentum and magic power were released from him.

Kuo━━━━━ng!!

A sharp, blade-like aura enveloped the surroundings and stabbed everywhere.

It was the moment when the hunter ranked 2nd in the world, nicknamed ‘Untouchable’, put his heart into it.

“Ugh!”

Groans escaped from the hunters surrounding him.

A high level that they would never reach even if they worked hard their entire lives.

The strong aura emitted by the man who had reached the top of the world blazed like a glaring flame.

Just watching it felt like his skin was being torn off.

‘𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴.’

Siwoo guessed that Giovanni hadn’t shown his real strength when he participated in the competition.

If he had revealed this much aura and magic power, he would have received a much higher score, even if it wasn’t as much as Siwoo.

“I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve exerted my strength.”

Giovanni glanced around with sunken eyes.

Those who met his eyes for a moment trembled and were terrified.

‘𝘐𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘰?’

The bite force of an adult hyena is 453 kg.

This is the strongest jaw strength among carnivorous mammals.

However, even if a group of hyenas with such strong teeth were to gather, they would not easily attack a lion if they encountered it.

The difference in species is that terrifying.

The Giovanni that the hunters were facing now was closer to a creature of a different species wearing the same human skin.

Because they couldn’t understand or fathom it, people couldn’t help but be terrified.

Giovanni looked at the hunters with the corners of his mouth raised.

A creepy sneer.

A moment that was almost instantaneous.

His figure disappeared and he began to charge towards the people like a buffalo.

Kwaa!!

In less than a second, nearly ten hunters were torn to pieces.

They were so mangled that it was hard to recognize their appearance, as if they had been hit by a dump truck.

“Ahahahaha! It’s time for a fun massacre!!”

“That son of a b*tch.”

Siwoo quickly followed him.

He had expected him to charge at him, but he didn’t expect him to suddenly change direction and run away.

‘𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘨𝘰𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘵𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘰𝘴 𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘦.’

It wasn’t that he hadn’t predicted that the 〈Pandemonium〉 guys would rebel.

He had deployed HSIU agents and asked other rankers to prevent that.

‘𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘰 𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺. . . 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩.’

Siwoo sent a sign to his party.

The party, which had been waiting in advance, released their magic power as soon as they received the signal.

“Sto—p!!”

First, Gi Il-lyeon’s incantation activated, tying Giovanni’s feet.

The skill of language made of magic power bound his limbs and created a momentary gap.

She wouldn’t be able to hold on for long because the difference in aura was so great, but that short amount of time would be enough.

“Kekekeke, it’s going to hurt a little!”

Seigen’s staff was aimed and black fog covered Giovanni’s entire body.

His specialty, Iron Sand.

In normal times, he would change its shape and use it as a simple offensive weapon or as a shield, but in fact, the scariest thing about Iron Sand was that it had no fixed form.

Seigen poured all his magic power into the Iron Sand and made it run through Giovanni’s entire body.

“Keugh! It’s not easy after all. . .!”

“Hmm—hahahaha! Your name is Seigen, right? It’s quite a clever combo. But I think it’s not enough to fight someone like me.”

However, contrary to Seigen’s expectations, the attack was completely blocked by the poison that Giovanni had wrapped around his body.

It wasn’t just that it returned to nothing, but the poison was so strong that all the Iron Sand melted.

Gi Il-lyeon, who had stopped Giovanni for a moment, collapsed to the floor and gasped for breath.

Even though she had poured out all her magic power, she had only managed to hold on for about a second.

“Is it my turn now?”

Giovanni went mad and charged towards Seigen and Gi Il-lyeon.

At that moment,

Zhe━━━ng!!!

A dazzling beam of light broke through the high ceiling and struck Giovanni.

“Ke—this is quite painful?!”

The shield made of poison sizzled.

It was the [Thunderclap: One Island’s Great Roar] that Siwoo had shot after calculating the coordinates.

“I should have blown him up a little stronger.”

“Kukuku, that was a pretty good attack for a kid. But you shouldn’t underestimate the strength of an adult.”

Giovanni’s eyes gleamed with madness as he cast his spell.

A huge magic circle unfolded in front of him and a blue-purple armor wrapped around Giovanni’s body.

“Now, there won’t be even a rotten corpse left.”

“Oh, really?”

Siwoo kicked him down as soon as he spoke.

Pa━━━ng!!

Giovanni’s body was deeply embedded in the floor of the banquet hall.

🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷

“They must be having a great party over there right now.”

Hunter Lee Ye-ji said with an envious voice.

“Well, I wouldn’t know. I’ve never been invited.”

“Miss Yeo-hwa. . . No, Guild Leader Kang Yeo-hwa said that she will soon be going to the banquet.”

Min Si-joon said as Choi Sung-il spoke.

“I don’t think I can stay. . . .If I don’t produce research results, the President will give me a hard time.”

Han Tae-chi circled around with an uneasy look in his eyes.

This place was prepared for the remaining S-ranks to cultivate friendship.

They gathered to simply drink coffee and chat after a long time, however, they were spending their time meaningfully, exchanging information between guilds.

Lee Ye-ji asked Choi Sung-il, who organized the meeting.

“Hunter Chae Woo-dam isn’t coming?”

“Yes, I contacted him but he declined.”

“He hasn’t been looking very good lately. Is he very busy?”

Min Si-joon recalled Chae Woo-dam’s face that he had seen recently passing by.

He had sunken eyes and dark circles that extended down to his cheekbones.

“Leave him be. He’s always been like that.”

“Hunter Han Tae-chi, are you close to Hunter Chae Woo-dam?”

“I know him. We were in the same training camp.”

The other three Hunters’ eyes widened at Han Tae-chi’s words.

It was because they couldn’t imagine the two of them hanging out together.

“Your stares feel strange and unpleasant.”

“You misunderstand. What kind of person is Hunter Chae Woo-dam?”

“Um. . . A weirdo?”

Min Si-joon, who was about to respond by saying that he doesn’t seem that different now, shut his mouth.

“Oh, I contacted him recently because I had something to ask him about my research. He said something strange.”

“What did he say?”

“Um. . . He said he’s raising eggs?”

“Seeds? What kind of egg is he raising?”

Han Tae-chi shrugged, and the other three Hunters looked at each other and shook their heads.

“Eccent people are eccentric.”

Choi Sung-il, who had started the conversation, suddenly stood up.

Koo-goo-goo-goo. . . Kwaang!!

Soon after, with an enormous impact, a dragon soared up from the distance.
