The Late Game Healer Is Way Too Strong – Chapter 259

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟓𝟗: 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧 1

Some time ago, an hour before Jin Do-wa and Tyron’s raid.

“This target is really tricky to tail. I was so nervous we were going to get caught halfway through. I really think we should be getting hazard pay from the boss for this.”

“Shut your mouth, Galsiryang.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Galsiryang replied with a sullen face as Crow scolded him in a low voice.

“Captain. I’m not sure if we have the right thing here. I’m a little worried.”

“It’s okay, Kaleo. The client checked it out and said we have the right thing.”

“Is that right? Either way, it’s a tough opponent. . . It’s terrifying, a being that surpasses human standards.”

Kaleo muttered as he looked at the castle on the mountainside.

The members of IZIZ were currently following a person on a commission.

The target of the tailing was the leader of 〈Black Heaven〉 and the ‘Witch of Darkness’, Baba Yaga.

The castle they were looking at now was Baba Yaga’s hidden lair.

Well, to be exact, it would be more accurate to say that it was Baba Yaga’s personal laboratory or witchcraft research institute rather than a lair.

“Looks like she chose to set up her hideout near the demon realm, so that no one would suspect 〈Pandemonium〉. Even though it’s hard to follow her because she’s a high-ranking person, the place is in a sh*tty location.”

“Ugh~ Galsiryang talks too much.”

“Warthog. You have to meet a man like me if you want to get married later. Do you think quiet men are good these days? Of course not. You have to live by expressing whether you’re angry, upset, or what you don’t like. I’m not talking about you, Bicataur.”

“. . . . . . .”

Bicataur, as usual, said nothing, his robe turned inside out.

“Is everyone ready?”

“Captain. How about waiting until Baba Yaga leaves and then just taking the item?”

Crow shook her head at Kaleo’s question.

“No. The client’s promised time is coming up soon. And if the owner leaves the castle, there might be a spell cast to strengthen the security. We don’t have time.”

“Well. . . That’s true. If not now, we might have to wait until Baba Yaga comes back to the lair.”

“And by then, our client might be dead.”

She gave a wry smile and glanced at the members.

“Let’s do this.”

The members of IZIZ stormed into the castle wearing white masks at Crow’s command.

🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸

“Hohoho. We have guests.”

Baba Yaga, who was sitting in a chair reading a grimoire, smiled broadly as she watched the warning spell floating in the air.

“I just left them alone because they were so busy following me. . . What on earth do they want to do?”

She tilted her head as she looked at the people in white robes and white masks through the CCTV.

A strange organization that was hostile to 〈Pandemonium〉, where she belonged, and also hostile to humans.

“I’d like to have a drink and chat with them, but hohoho. I guess it’s impossible?”

Baba Yaga got up from her seat and headed to the next room.

And she opened the door to the secret passage by infusing her magical power into the safe and entered it.

The sound of high heels echoed through the dark silence.

━Creak.

━Kya, kya, kya.

Jingle. Clank.

It was pitch black and nothing could be seen, but the sound of something moving could be heard, and something like the breathing of a non-human creature could be felt.

Baba Yaga’s red eyes shone alone in the darkness.

She took out a vial from her bosom and put it to her mouth.

And as she blew it out, a spell made of green smoke was erected in the air, spreading her witchcraft in all directions.

“Now, my children. Since we have guests, why don’t you go out and meet them?”

As Baba Yaga’s sweet voice echoed, countless ‘things’ poured out in all directions and headed towards the darkness.

“Hohoho. As the ‘Witch of Darkness’, I can’t just sit around and let them do all the work.”

🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸

Wu Ko Xin felt like he was being crushed by the endless momentum emanating from his opponent.

He was also a veteran who had dabbled in the Asian underworld and was confident that he could compete with top-class players around the world.

However, the extraterrestrial being called ‘Misteltein’ felt like an unbearable monster that was beyond Wu Ko Xin’s common sense.

“Keugh. . .!!”

“I’ve been in a really bad mood lately. Really bad. Do you know what happened a while ago? There’s no one as unlucky as me in the world.”

Kid walked down the hallway in a long, black leather jacket, a wide-brimmed hat, and leather boots.

A terrible smell of gunpowder and strong tobacco intertwined from him.

“Do you like Mexico? I love it. The weather is similar to Texas and the atmosphere is similar. That dryness is what makes it so charming.”

Kid frowned, stroking his beard.

“But all the workshops I was running there were burnt to the ground. Heh heh heh. Can you believe it? It was really burnt to the ground. And it was all because of one person.”

“. . .SSS-rank Hunter. . .?”

“Bingo!”

Kid snapped his fingers and pointed at Wu Ko Xin with his index finger.

“Oh, if I was more hot-tempered, I would have gone and put dozens of bullets in his head. But as ‘Misteltein’, it’s not easy to touch a famous Hunter. So I held back my tears and swore to kill him next time.”

“If so. . . Are you by any chance. . . 〈Pandemonium〉?”

Currently, the only faction actively trying to kill rankers was 〈Pandemonium〉, which was trying to start a war with humanity.

Even ‘Six Fingers’ didn’t know all the members of 〈Pandemonium〉, especially the Hierarchy, so Wu Ko Xin guessed that his opponent would be 〈Pandemonium〉.

However, Kid laughed mockingly, as if his guess was ridiculous.

“Heh heh heh. Are you kidding me? Do you think all the bad guys are under 〈Pandemonium〉?”

“. . . . . . .”

“I’m just me. All I want to do is live as a ‘villain’. And you’re an intruder who broke into my castle and caused trouble.”

Wu Ko Xin couldn’t read much from his opponent’s expression.

He seemed to be smiling and making colorful expressions, but in reality, it was all calculated and disguised.

However, one thing was for sure.

‘Creep’, the current owner of Kowloon Walled City and the king of the underworld around the world, was very displeased with Wu Ko Xin’s arrogance right now.

And that he would soon kill him to relieve that displeasure.

“Keuk. . .!!”

As soon as Wu Ko Xin finished his judgment, he drew all the magical power from his dantian and circulated it throughout his body.

A solid aura filled the air, unbelievable for someone who had been swinging an ax and cutting people into pieces for hours.

“Wow~ They say you’re the one who controlled the Asian underworld. You’re not all talk.”

“Even if you’re ‘Misteltein’, you won’t take my life that easily!”

Wu Ko Xin roared and charged at his opponent like a fierce beast.

An explosive force could be felt from the new form that rushed in with a single breath.

Kid whistled shortly.

“Then let’s see what you can do?”

He materialized a revolver in his right hand and fired six shots in less than a second.

Wu Ko Xin deflected the incoming bullets with his ax with lightning-fast reflexes.

Ting-! Tud-! Pewwwwwww!!

But the first bullet was nothing, the second bullet felt dull, and by the third bullet, it was so heavy as if he was deflecting a bomb.

Moreover, judging from the fact that the ax blade that deflected the third bullet had exploded, it was definitely not an ordinary bullet.

‘𝘒𝘦𝘶𝘬-! 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘥 𝘪𝘵, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬 𝘪𝘵!’

Wu Ko Xin dodged the next bullet and swung his ax at Kid.

However, Kid had a relaxed smile on his face as he watched the ax blade rushing towards him.

“Hmm, you shouldn’t dodge it.”

Only then did Wu Ko Xin realize that the shooting itself was his skill.

“Damn it!!”

The moment Wu Ko Xin looked back, the returning bullet was right before his eyes.

He poured all his magical power into his ax and swung it at the bullet.

Kwa━━━━ng!!

“Gaaaaaaah!!”

Wu Ko Xin’s one arm was blown off and he collapsed to the floor.

“My bullets double in destructive power the further they go. Depending on how much of my magical power I put into the first bullet. . . The destructive power of the second and third bullets also changes.”

“Keugh. . .!”

“And it seems like the fifth and sixth bullets haven’t reached you yet?”

Wu Ko Xin’s eyes widened, and at that moment, a bullet pierced through his forehead.

Thud.

“Heh heh heh. I’m sorry, but that was just an ordinary magical bullet.”

Kid adjusted the brim of his hat as he looked at Wu Ko Xin’s dead body.

“Boss. What should we do with the bodies?”

At that moment, the executives of Kowloon Walled City approached him and greeted him.

“What should we do? We have to sell every drop of blood.  Awakener organs are expensive, so handle them with care. I killed him without damaging his organs on purpose.”

“Yes, boss.”

“How are the drugs selling these days?”

“So far, ‘Lux’ is still selling the best.”

“Tsk. Even if I try to manufacture and sell it myself, I can’t make the same thing. Who made it? We still haven’t found out?”

“The other party is no pushover. . . . I’m sorry.”

Kid swept his beard aside and stomped his boot on the ground.

There was nothing in the underworld that he didn’t know.

That is, unless the other party was only ‘one of two’.

‘𝘐𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘣𝘺 〈𝘗𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘶𝘮〉, 𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘣𝘺 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘵𝘦𝘪𝘯.’

“What should we do, boss?”

“For now, just take the drugs and sell them. I’ll look into it myself from now on.”

🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸

Tyron had made a deal with 〈Pandemonium〉.

If he were to die at someone’s hand, he asked not to simply be killed, but to make his opponent suffer tremendous pain as well.

In return, he was able to break free from the ‘Oath of Mana’, and as a price, he became a test subject for 〈Pandemonium〉.

Siwoo’s fist extinguished Tyron’s life like a candle in the wind.

A life that would have normally faded away, but as he wished, the candle was lit again.

With a new black flame.

━Guaaaaaaaaaaah!!

Siwoo quickly deployed a magical shield and flew back in response to the unexpected reaction.

Tyron’s body, which should have exploded and died, gathered in one place, and dozens of magic circles appeared around it.

Thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud-!!!

All of them were dangerous spells based on dark magic.

A huge amount of magical power and demonic energy centered around him, and a pitch-black whirlwind blew in, destroying the building layer by layer.

Kwakwak!!

“What a mess.”

Siwoo extended his hand forward and materialized a spell.

Hundreds of symbols and characters lined up to form a magic circle, and soon a fierce sword wind advanced towards the pitch-black whirlwind with a blue flash.

Everything on the floor they were on was sucked out and scattered in all directions by the wind and magical power wave.

━Guaaah!!!

Just as he was about to drive him out, the pitch-black wind gathered in one place in an instant, and a horned devil appeared. him out, the dark wind gathered in one place in an instant, and a horned devil appeared.
