The Late Game Healer Is Way Too Strong – Chapter 253

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟓𝟑: 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞 2

On the obsidian triangular table, the doctor’s face appeared.

“Ho ho ho. Long time no see, Doctor.”

━〈Pandemonium〉 Hierarchy 1st rank, greetings.

A rasping voice flowed from the doctor’s wrinkled lips.

“Your research results are a great help to us. How are things going with the Gate?”

━It’s currently going smoothly. If there are no major issues, it should be able to be activated this year.

“Ho ho ho. As expected of the doctor. Then how about the ‘new human’ you tested recently?”

Merlin’s eyes glinted sharply.

━Unfortunately, that was a failure.

“Surely you tested it against IZIZ. . . or not?”

━That’s right. However, it didn’t show the same power and performance as Kim Eun-ju last time. We need to examine it further to see if a certain condition is different.

“I see. Is it because of a lack of demonic energy, or is it necessary to have the body of an Awakener. . . or maybe the blood of a lower devil won’t work.”

Merlin muttered to himself as if talking to himself and looked at Baba Yaga.

“My, I don’t know. I’m good at witchcraft, but I don’t know much about it because I didn’t see or touch it myself.”

“Is that right? We were worried that it would be noticeable, so we didn’t intervene, but there were such side effects.”

He made a troubled expression and stroked his long beard while speaking sternly to the doctor.

“Doctor, the ‘New Human Project’ will be a great help to the Demon King’s conquest of humanity in the future, so it is imperative that it be completed.”

━I will keep that in mind.

“Therefore, you will now proceed with the project together with the ‘Earl’.”

━But Great Mage! My relationship with the ‘Earl’ is. . . !

“Is that trivial relationship more important than the Demon King’s cause?”

━That. . . is not the case. . . !

The doctor pursed his lips and shook his head before nodding in agreement with Merlin’s words.

“Hohoho. How come the Doctor is being so docile today? In the past, you would have flared up and stormed out.”

Baba Yaga, who had been watching quietly from the side, smiled with her chin tilted.

━Don’t provoke me too much, ‘Witch of Darkness’.

“My, my. I am complimenting the Doctor. Don’t misunderstand.”

The doctor looked at Baba Yaga’s sly smile and gave a stiff farewell with a hardened face.

-《Everything under 〈Pandemonium〉.》

“《Everything under 〈Pandemonium〉.》”

As the doctor disappeared from the screen, Merlin clicked his tongue and said to Baba Yaga as if scolding her.

“It’s not enough to coax him nicely, but why are you doing that? What if the doctor gets angry and refuses to do it?”

“Hoo hoo hoo. Would he really? I believe in the doctor’s loyalty.”

“Anyway, you’re a terrible person.”

“So where are you going now? Are you going straight to ‘Prophetes’?”

“That’s where I’m headed. Are you going to the lab?”

Baba Yaga nodded lightly, smiling broadly.

🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸

A sweet scent tickles the nose.

It’s so rich and floral that you feel like you’ll get drunk if you inhale a little deeper.

Siwoo turned his head and looked at Loki.

Her beautiful pair of eyes were drawing a thin crescent moon, like a mischievous child.

It seems sincere, but when you look at her bright red smile, it doesn’t feel sincere at all.

Loki, the trickster god.

“Are you saying that a member of ‘Misteltein’ has come to me to warn me not to believe in ‘Misteltein’?”

Siwoo asked, meeting her twinkling golden eyes.

“Heh~ It’s good that you understand quickly. That’s right.”

“I don’t know what your intentions are or what your purpose is.”

“You can’t. I have no intention and no purpose.”

“Now I don’t even understand.”

Siwoo frowned and glared at her lightly.

The more absurd fact was that there was no ‘lie’ in her words at the moment.

He was detecting her emotions and falsehoods with mana detection, but Loki’s words were all true from the moment she first appeared.

“Heh~ Where’s the fun in playing around? I’m just doing it because it’s fun.”

She wrapped her long hair around her fingers and did not stop smiling.

Siwoo sighed inwardly.

Dialogue, compromise, and especially deals are the most difficult types to make.

Because it’s a personality that you can’t figure out, you’re likely to lose the initiative, and if you don’t give them what they want, you’ll just end up confused without getting anything.

‘𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘶𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘦, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘷𝘦 𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘳𝘥𝘰𝘴.’

Siwoo felt prejudice as he recalled the ‘Misteltein’ he had seen.

“Are you saying that I shouldn’t trust 〈Pandemonium〉?”

“. . .Hm? You already know about it?”

“That’s not important information anymore.”

Siwoo pretended to lose interest and got up from his chair with a disappointed expression.

Since she was a difficult type to deal with, it wasn’t a big problem for Siwoo.

Because in the first place, he had nothing to ask Loki for, and Loki came to find him because she had a purpose, not because it was him.

In short, it’s not him that’s regrettable, but the other person.

“H-Hey! Wait!”

“I don’t have time to chat with you.”

“Just a moment. . . ! You’re not interested in me? You don’t find me fun?”

“No.”

Siwoo answered flatly.

Loki’s lips quivered in shock.

It seemed that this was the first time she had been treated or neglected like this.

“T-Then don’t you want to know who in ‘Misteltein’ is 〈Pandemonium〉?!”

She grabbed Siwoo’s hand and continued.

“I know two of them. Baba Yaga and Merlin?”

“. . .How. . .?”

“It was just a suspicion until a moment ago, but I guess it’s true when I see your reaction.”

Loki bit her lip tightly and raised her eyebrows, realizing that Siwoo had fallen for the question he had just asked.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Because I’m annoyed and irritated.”

“You don’t have to be. It was still a suspicion that was about 80% certain.”

The expression Baba Yaga and Merlin showed when Siwoo asked them to investigate the Hierarchy during the video conference.

And even the mana wavelength that had changed slightly.

He hadn’t known that more than one ‘Misteltein’ would belong to the 〈Pandemonium〉 1st rank, but considering the work they had done in various areas, it seemed like a possibility.

“So you found someone who seemed fun and wanted to play around with them, dragging them here and there?”

“. . .Yes.”

“Sorry, but I’m confident that I wouldn’t be swayed by a hundred truckloads of guys like you.”

“Tsk~”

Loki pouted and glared at Siwoo with a sullen face.

“Ask me for some other information. Then I’ll play with you.”

“Information. . . What kind?”

“Like the demon race’s next plan, or who in ‘Misteltein’ ordered the assassination of Min-jun.”

“Who is Min-jun?”

Siwoo read her mana wavelength and expression, but he found no falsehood or peculiarity in her.

“He was my former disciple. He was killed on the orders of a ‘Misteltein’ belonging to 〈Pandemonium〉.”

“Really? Then I should find out that information.”

Loki grinned at Siwoo’s words and ran towards the window.

“Heh~ I’ll play with you properly next time we see each other.”

“Bring me some information.”

Her long blonde hair fluttered like the wind, and she disappeared as if it were a lie.

‘It doesn’t seem like it’ll be easy to handle like Gandharva. . . . Let’s see what she asks me next.’

Siwoo organized his thoughts and decided to visit the U.S. first and then decide.

🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸

“He’s still a beast.”

Wu Ko Xin frowned at the scene as soon as he entered the hideout.

When Wu Ko Xin and his men were away for a few days, they returned to the hideout to find it full of alcohol, gambling, drugs, and women.

“You guys stay at the entrance.”

He left his men behind and entered the hideout alone.

Wu Ko Xin had to suppress the urge to swear as he watched Tyron’s men, who were lying around drunk and high on drugs, and Tyron, who was naked and sweating, smelling of alcohol and syringes.

He approached the bed in the center.

Even there, the woman’s flirtatious moans and Tyron’s panting breaths echoed.

“I’m leaving this hideout now. You can either follow the orders of 〈Pandemonium〉 or not.”

The moaning stops instantly.

Tyron opened the curtain, revealing his sweaty, naked body.

Wu Ko Xin suppressed the urge to vomit.

“Ugh━!”

Tyron scratched his stomach and trimmed it in front of him.

Tyron’s solid, copper-colored body, reminiscent of a giant gorilla, wriggled and took a step towards Wu Ko Xin.

An instinctive look like a ferocious beast dominating its surroundings.

“I couldn’t hear because I was having sex. What did you say?”

Tyron asked Wu Ko Xin, poking his finger into his ear.

“I said I’m leaving this hideout. So from now on, do whatever you want, whether it’s listening to 〈Pandemonium〉’s orders or not.”

“Yeah, yeah, I get it. So you’re saying you won’t be a pain in my ass anymore, is that it?”

“I’ve never done anything like that in the first place. It’s not my job.”

“Oh━ Really? That’s weird. I thought you were my sh*t-cleaning subordinate.”

In an instant, intense magic erupted from Wu Ko Xin and Tyron.

Kwagagagagagagagagaga!!

Tyron’s men, who were sleeping drunk on drugs and alcohol around him, woke up in surprise, and Wu Ko Xin’s men, who were waiting outside, rushed in in surprise.

Cracks appear in the ceiling and walls, and the ground begins to shake.

“Kyaaah!!”

Tyron and the women who were sleeping screamed.

At that scream, Tyron’s momentum subsided as if it were a lie.

“Kukuk. It’s nice to have a bloody fight with a man, but for now, there are women waiting for my body, so I’ll let it go.”

“I have no hobby of killing women either.”

“Jin Do-wa said he was going to catch a tiger. Where are you going?”

Wu Ko Xin glared at him for a moment, as if he had not expected Tyron to ask such a question.

“. . .Kowloon Walled City. I’m going to reclaim the place I used to be the master of.”

“Was there a master in that slum?”

“I was the ruler. And by the way, I’m going to take over the Asian underworld again.”

Wu Ko Xin turned and headed outside without waiting for Tyron’s answer.

Tyron scratched his thick dreadlocks.

‘𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘸? 𝘐𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘶𝘯, 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩 𝘞𝘶 𝘒𝘰 𝘟𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘑𝘪𝘯 𝘋𝘰-𝘸𝘢 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦.’

He had been thinking of becoming the ‘Creep’, the legendary master of darkness in the world.

The members of ‘Six Fingers’ were closer to temporary competitors, so it was advantageous for him to eliminate the aftermath in advance.

In particular, Wu Ko Xin was a notorious criminal known to Tyron even before he went to prison.

He was so infamous that he was considered the darkness of Asia itself, so he was an opponent he had to take care of in order to embrace the world.

“Boss. An order came down from 〈Pandemonium〉.

At that moment, one of his men approached him, stammering.

“Oh━ The timing is really bad. Is it good for Wu Ko Xin?”

Tyron yawned as he took the paper his subordinate had given him.

“Huh? No, this is good news for me.”

“T-That’s right, boss?”

“Hehehe. Wake up all the drunks and get them ready. Prepare to go home.”

He crumpled up the paper that said ‘United States’ and his eyes lit up.
