The Late Game Healer Is Way Too Strong – Chapter 260

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟔𝟎: 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧 2

Thick, black fumes billowed out of his entire body as if they were being emitted continuously.

Within it, a man with a single horn protruding from the left side of his forehead glared at them with glowing yellow eyes.

“Devil. . .?”

Seigen’s face was painted with surprise as he looked at the revived Tyron.

In a way, devils were a species rarer than demons to Hunters.

Demons lived in the Demon Realm and were not often seen, but they were often encountered during the Demon Realm War, and many had similar appearances to humans and were thus familiar.

However, devils often worked in secret, and because those who encountered famous devils all died, there were almost no eyewitness accounts.

Unlike demons who formed groups and lived in societies like humans, devils were few in number and each acted individually, so the reproduction of their race was low, and therefore, research and information about them were also very limited.

“No, it can’t be a devil.”

Seigen’s words were answered by Siwoo who was next to him.

“It doesn’t seem to be a demon either. Are you saying that appearance is not that of a devil?”

“I saw what happened in 〈Pandemonium〉 not too long ago. Judging from the fact that I didn’t feel any demonic energy from Tyron. . . It can’t be a demon or a devil. It must be a curse that activates at the cost of death.”

Siwoo’s guess was correct.

It was impossible for a normal human to become a pure devil or demon.

The doctor, who had been injected with demonic energy for a long time, showed abilities close to those of demons, but he could not become a demon.

Grrrrrrrr. . . .!

The ‘thing’ that had been Tyron let out a strange sound as if it were inhaling air in reverse.

The noise, which sounded as if it were going against the order of things, not to mention being unpleasant, was enough to make one frown.

“Damn 〈Pandemonium〉. . . can they do such a cursed thing?”

“It’s nothing new. It’s like a kind of zombie. However, a curse requires an appropriate price. I don’t know if it was paid in advance or if it will be paid later.”

“I hope it was paid in advance. And I don’t know if I’m mistaken. . . but isn’t that thing stronger than before?”

Seigen looked at Tyron with an expression of disbelief.

“That’s probably true. But the time won’t be that long. A curse that goes against causality has its limits, no matter what is given as the price.”

“Is that so? Hunters usually have the desire to fight strong people, but I don’t feel like doing that at all with that guy.”

“Why not? You got a new arm. Don’t you want to try it out?”

“Are you kidding me? I’ll die before I can even exchange three moves. That’s a monster.”

“There’s nothing we can do. Senior, please help me so that the others don’t get hurt.”

Siwoo stepped forward, raising his magical power once again.

From Tyron, a cunning aura mixed with magical power and demonic energy was felt strongly.

However, it was not the same feeling as the 〈Pandemonium〉guys who contracted with half-demons or demons.

Unrefined and full of impurities, the two auras were mixed together in a chaotic manner and gushed out.

“Anyway, with that condition, it won’t last long.”

Siwoo muttered as he looked at Tyron.

【𝐈 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞. 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠.】

“But it’s not in my nature to just wait. There’s always an ‘if’, so I have to kill it quickly.”

【𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐟 𝐈 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐰𝐚𝐲.】

“Don’t say that. Do you want to eat it?”

【𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐭. . 𝐈 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲. 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞-𝐧𝐢𝐦 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭!】

Perhaps offended by Siwoo’s words, Pre raised his ear and struck Siwoo’s forehead.

Thwack.

Of course, Siwoo felt nothing.

“?”

【?】

‘What did it say?’

Siwoo scratched his forehead and charged straight at Tyron.

Groan!

A black fist swung towards Siwoo.

The attack was a chaotic mix of magical power and demonic energy, but if it hit, the destructive power would not end with a broken bone or two.

Siwoo dodged the fist and materialized a shotgun in his right hand.

This time, it was a weapon whose power had been raised a notch higher by Lockheed Martin.

Bang!!

The sound of gunfire that was hard to believe came from a gun, and the shotgun erupted in flames.

The barrage of magical bullets whirled around Tyron’s upper body and tore it apart.

“What the hell did that girl, Info make for me?”

Siwoo felt a tremendous recoil despite the strength in his hand, and his wrist and shoulder tingled.

Tyron writhed as if in pain, and soon black smoke gathered and reattached his torn flesh.

Graaaa!

Along with a scream that was deafening, Tyron’s huge body charged at Siwoo like a spring.

Bang!!

The triple-layered magical shield shattered in an instant, and Tyron’s blow reached Siwoo’s abdomen.

Siwoo’s body flew away from the blow, and he thrust the shotgun into Tyron’s face.

Bang!!

Once again, the bullet tore through his body.

Graaaaa!

The ‘thing’ that had been Tyron shook and writhed on the floor as if trying to shake off the shock inflicted on its body.

And each time, its body regenerated, and several cursed circles flashed around it, accelerating its curse.

“That punch really hurt.”

Siwoo got up from his seat, rubbing his stomach.

Tyron bared his teeth at Siwoo.

Groan!

His expression could not be seen.

It was hard to guess because of the black smoke and because of the curse or the devil-like transformation.

“What are you doing? Hurry up and attack, you son of a bitch.”

Siwoo flicked his finger at him.

However, Tyron, who seemed like he would rush at Siwoo at any moment, suddenly turned and flew out of the building.

【𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲!】

“It must need a sacrifice to maintain the curse!”

To continue activating such a curse, a lot was needed.

The sacrifice needed to establish the curse in the first place, the limitations and vows that the caster bears, and the conditions under which the curse is maintained.

Having obtained a strong body like Tyron’s and conducted experiments, he must have set a fairly difficult condition.

For example, the heart of an Awakener.

“Where do you think you’re going, you bastard!!”

The moment Tyron extended his body outside the building, Siwoo’s foot struck the bastard’s body at an incredible speed.

Boom!!

A terrible noise rang out as if a dump truck had fallen from a high-rise building.

━Groan!

Tyron, who had been driven deep into the ground, staggered and got up.

Bang! Bang!

At that moment, two shotguns fired furiously and poured bullets into the ground.

Tyron scattered and reconstructed his body while glaring with glowing yellow eyes, then stepped on the wall and jumped at Siwoo.

It was an attack that had become even more violent and fierce, realizing that there was not much time left.

━━━Bang!!

He could not even find a gap to defend against the endless waves of attacks.

━Graaaa!

He threw punches and kicks filled with energy at Siwoo from angles and postures that would not be possible for a living person, like a downpour.

Each attack was as strong and heavy as a giant hammer.

Although he had lost his reason, his basic level was that of a super high-ranker, and his ability had also increased with the curse, so if it had been another Hunter, his whole body would have been crushed and he would have died from the blows alone.

Siwoo gasped for breath, deflecting Tyron’s blows or blocking them with his forearms and legs.

And he poured all the magical power he had into his bracelet.

Crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle. Pop!!

An electrifying thunder erupted with an eerie intensity, and a yellow flash of light flashed around him.

Siwoo quickly reached out and grabbed Tyron by the neck.

Crunch!!

A sound that seemed like it would crush him right away was heard.

“Now it’s my turn.”

Siwoo wiped the blood from his mouth and released electricity.

Crackle, crackle, crackle!!!

A disgusting smell wafted through the air, like the smell of burning tires.

━Graaaa!

Tyron screamed as he looked at his own body burning up at the cellular level.

Cursed circles rose, and his body was restored as the curse activated.

However, Siwoo’s electrocution burned through his body at an even faster rate.

“You’re going to die ‘until you’re tired’ for me.”

Siwoo burned Tyron’s body with an expression devoid of any emotion.

After a while, Tyron’s curse no longer activated.

Siwoo threw his dirty and smelly corpse to the floor.

Tyron disappeared like trash on the street, without a tombstone or a grave with his name on it.

🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸

Crow moved with Warthog.

As expected, the castle was very large and complex for its size.

Moreover, unknown devices and traps were set up everywhere, so they had to spread out their magical detection and shields, and the thought that ‘Misteltein’ might rush in made their nerves extremely sensitive.

“Crow~ It’s so big that I don’t think we’ll be able to find it within an hour.”

“It won’t be exactly an hour. Anyway, the client isn’t expecting that much.”

“Then can’t we just leave~? It’s too dangerous to fight in the enemy’s lair. The opponent isn’t an ordinary Hunter.”

“But the boss really wants this deal, so it can’t be helped.”

“Hmm~ Then the boss should do it himself.”

Warthog muttered and walked forward.

Crunch!!

At that moment, her head flew off and the corridor was instantly covered in blood.

It was not a trap.

Crow wrapped her magical power tightly around the murderous intent she felt from beyond the darkness.

━Growl.

The creatures that appeared with glowing eyes were a group of chimeras created by Baba Yaga’s curse.

Crow frowned under her mask.

Fighting with chimeras that she did not know what creatures had been mixed together was not a very pleasant thing.

“This is really not worth it.”

Crow’s form disappeared and reappeared in the middle of the chimera horde.

Ba━━m!

Her side kick struck the monster’s torso directly, and then she stabbed another one in the neck with a dagger as long as her forearm that she took out of her bosom.

“Warthog, get up quickly.”

“~~~~~~~~~~Ng!”

Warthog, whose head had regenerated, got up and swung the scythe she was carrying on her back.

The black weapon, also called the scythe of death, was drawn horizontally.

Thwack!

Warthog slammed the head of the scythe into the ground and dragged it all the way to the end of the corridor where Crow was.

And everything within the radius she swung was belatedly cut in half and collapsed.

Even the castle walls were no exception.

“Be careful. If you make a mistake and it collapses, we’ll all die.”

“I know~ But it won’t collapse just because one wall is cut. It’s huge here.”

“That’s true.”

“Baba Yaga won’t die with that skill, will she?”

Warthog asked Crow in a regretful voice.

“Well. If you meet her later, try using it once. You might get lucky and kill her.”

“Oh my, you’re saying such a scary thing so easily.”

At that moment, Crow and Warthog held their breath as a blade-like momentum rushed in.

Crackle, crackle, crackle-!

Even though it was not a skill.

As Baba Yaga’s sweet voice rang out, all the air currents in the space changed, and cracks began to appear on the castle walls.
