The Late Game Healer Is Way Too Strong – Chapter 276

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟕𝟔: 𝐒𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐆𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧 3

With Siwoo at its center, a magical detection spread out within the area, dozens to hundreds of meters, mapping the surrounding information in his head.

The coordinates of all beings with magic power and demonic energy were generated.

There were too many, too complex, but he could neither stop nor give up.

That bastard was a mad scientist and an alchemist.

〈Pandemonium〉 had never officially released a hybrid human except for Kim Eun-ju so far.

The fight with the IZIZ members or the fight with Siwoo last time were all unofficial battles that happened suddenly.

In other words, this situation would be a kind of debut stage for Saint Germain, and a place to announce the results of his research.

It was a disaster of his own making, choosing a national holiday in his home country for the most important moment.

This was definitely not an accident.

It was the announcement of the results of his carefully planned experiment.

Would he really be watching such an important scene from his house, on a screen?

No.

Siwoo was sure that Saint Germain would be somewhere nearby, watching this scene vividly.

He gradually increased the range of his magic detection.

As the distance increased, the amount of information increased, making his head feel like it was going to crack.

Zzzt.

Siwoo finally identified the place where he felt the intense demonic energy, and immediately lifted the magic detection and set foot there.

Past the Eiffel Tower, across the Seine, the Trocadero Square.

There, too, was a scene of chaos, with countless people running around in a panic.

Siwoo fixed his gaze on the man standing in the center of the square among them.

A man with blond hair neatly combed in a classic suit.

And two people in black robes standing next to him.

“I see that your demonic energy has become even denser since the last time we met. Have you given up being human now?”

Siwoo approached him with a shotgun in both hands.

The demonic energy flowing out of his body felt sharp enough to cut.

To this extent, it surpassed even a half-demon.

Could a normal human being, just by worshiping the Demon King and being granted power, possess such demonic energy?

『Long time no see, the gift of God who will become my test subject.』

It was just a simple voice.

At that moment, everyone in the Trocadero Square was pressed to the ground and began to vomit.

A voice that a human could never make.

Balok or Orobas, whom he had encountered before, came to mind.

A wicked energy that was thick, sticky, and sinister.

“It was just a joke, but you really have given up being human.”

Siwoo glared at his opponent with sharp eyes, not yielding to his momentum.

Saint Germain, who had been bowing his head, slowly raised his face and met Siwoo’s eyes.

His pale, ivory-white skin was gone, replaced by a grayish skin with prominent crimson veins.

『Your words are misleading. I didn’t give up being human. I chose this form.』

Saint Germain’s eyes glowed red instead of the blue they used to be, and he smiled wickedly.

Siwoo felt disgusted by his current appearance, which was completely different from what he had seen just a moment ago.

Was this also the result of some experiment or research?

“Who are the people next to you? No, are they even human in the first place?”

Siwoo asked, looking at the people in black robes.

They were standing upright, but Siwoo didn’t feel any life force from them that he could feel from a living person.

Even if they were monsters created by the New Human Project, they should have moved or shown some kind of energy, but they didn’t.

They just stood there like scarecrows at the entrance of a village, next to Saint Germain.

『Hohoho. The ones I released in the square right now are prototypes. But the ones next to me. . . let’s say they are the completed forms of the New Human Project. They are better than Kim Eun-ju, whom you faced before.』

Completed forms.

Siwoo had to suppress a sigh.

Kim Eun-ju, whom he had fought at that time, was by no means weak.

Rather, he was much stronger than the devils Balok or Orobas, and had been subdued by using the power of ether and even the technique of a half-dragon.

If there were two more monsters like that, and Saint Germain, who must have become even stronger, were added. . . . . .

‘𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘢 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦.’

Siwoo thought of several scenarios.

However, he couldn’t be sure if he could fight the three of them alone without checking the enemy’s capabilities.

‘𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘭𝘦.’

It would be possible if they were ordinary enemies, but his opponents were former members of ‘Misteltein.’

Siwoo might have been alone, but he couldn’t just leave things to chance in a place where a large crowd was gathered.

That was when.

Kuwoooooooooong!!

With a now familiar landing sound, Gandharva appeared right next to Siwoo.

“You damn traitor, what kind of confidence do you have to show your face?!”

She asked Saint Germain in a murderous voice, her black hair fluttering.

She looked so menacing that she seemed like she would snap his neck right away.

『Oh, this is a completely unexpected combination. Min Siwoo and Gandharva. In fact, Min Siwoo, I thought Choi Dae-soo. . . that is, Yaksa, would come with you.』

“I’m not that close to Choi Dae-soo. I’m closer to Gandharva these days.”

『Hohoho. I see. 〈Pandemonium〉 really missed you. You were a peculiar being who messed up all the plans and interfered.』

“You bastard! You were okay with the theme of 〈Pandemonium〉, so you pretended to be a colleague in ‘Misteltein’?! You and the other Hierarchy bastards will be kicked out soon too!! Do you understand?!”

『Gandharva. . . You’ve always been the same. You’re not the type I can communicate with because you’re so simple. I never expected you to understand our ideology in the first place.』

Saint Germain stuck an automatic syringe into the people next to him while he was talking.

Pshhh!

At the same time, a magic circle was formed at his feet as a magic circle was constructed.

Siwoo quickly fired his shotgun.

Kwang! Kwang!! Kwang!!

The magic bullets were fired in both directions and flew towards the people in robes.

However, just as the bullets were about to blow their heads off, a thick demonic energy gushed out like a whirlwind, lightly disrupting the magic bullets.

The term ‘completed form’ that the guy had mentioned was not an exaggeration.

A terrifying aura that surpassed Kim Eun-ju flowed out from the two beings.

Saint Germain smiled bitterly and took off their hoods.

“. . . . . . . . . . . .”

Siwoo clenched his teeth when he saw one of their faces.

『Hohoho. Hunter Min Siwoo. Don’t you recognize both of them? I think they are people who are related to you.』

Familiar faces.

One was Burdeos, whom Siwoo had half-killed and arrested in Mexico.

The other was Harold Bloom, a semi-special HSIU agent who had disappeared in a group while investigating 〈Pandemonium〉.

They stared ahead with pale faces and white pupils, smiling.

『Kekeke. Damn, I see a familiar face.』

『It’s a shame to meet again in a place like this. But I’m just following my new master’s orders to kill all humans.』

『Hey, damn old man. Min Siwoo is mine, so don’t touch him. Do you understand what I’m saying?』

『I don’t even need to listen to the orders of a criminal like you.』

Burdeos and Harold continued to talk naturally, as if they were meeting and talking like they did when they were alive.

It was the same as with Kim Eun-ju.

They were dead, but their memories remained.

“What’s this? Siwoo, do you know those guys?”

Gandharva asked.

“The younger one was a criminal from Mexico, and the older one was a fellow HSIU agent who disappeared while investigating 〈Pandemonium〉 a while ago.”

At Siwoo’s answer, she turned her gaze to Harold.

“You don’t have to feel too sorry for him. He’s not really alive. He’s just pretending to be alive.”

『Hahaha. You’re very cold, Min Siwoo.』

“It’s not being cool, it’s just stating the facts.

『It seems like this useless conversation has gone on long enough. Should we start, in case any other ‘Misteltein’ members show up?』

Saint Germain gave an order to his men.

Burdeos charged at Gandharva, and Harold flew towards Siwoo.

A crimson lance materialized and rushed towards Siwoo with lightning speed.

Siwoo drew Muramasa instead of a shotgun and deflected the lance’s attack.

Clack, clack, clack!

Sparks flew as the blades rubbed against each other.

Siwoo immediately dug inside and stabbed Harold’s heart with his sword.

Puuuuuuuk!!

Harold twisted his body and Muramasa pierced his neck instead of his heart.

『Hunter Min Siwoo. If you become a new human, you will open your eyes to a new world and this kind of thing will no longer hurt.』

“There’s a reason why we feel pain, Harold the dead.”

Siwoo exhaled and swung the blade sideways.

Although Harold’s neck was half cut off, he swung his lance again with his tilted neck as if nothing had happened.

Harold’s attacks were sharp and fierce, perhaps because he was a former super high ranker.

Moreover, the demonic energy mixed in made it burn and blister wherever it touched, as if it had been scorched by fire.

『Hunter Min Siwoo. If you don’t fight me properly, you will die soon.』

Harold warned Siwoo with his pitch-black eyes.

What he said was true.

Siwoo was not fighting him properly right now.

Numerous crowds were around, overwhelmed by Saint Germain’s momentum.

He was deflecting all of Harold’s attacks or blocking them with his body to prevent the people from getting hurt.

The same went for Gandharva.

That was when it happened.

A tremendous gust of wind blew and swept the people on the floor away in different directions in an instant.

Burdeos flew towards the flying people.

At that moment, thick tree roots rose from the ground and formed a giant shield, blocking his electricity.

[Wood Creation: Guardian of the Earth]

Leonie, Layla, Benedict, and Hans had arrived.

“Sorry we’re late, buddy.”

Hans stood next to him, breathing heavily.

“Have you finished dealing with them?”

“The rest are being taken care of by Rolf and Felix, and the other hunters who just arrived.”

“Little master, we’ll take care of Harold. Please deal with Saint Germain.”

Benedict said with a grin.

Siwoo swung Muramasa once and took a step towards Saint Germain.

“Let me just ask you one thing.”

『What is it?』

“Did you order the assassination of a hunter named Min-jun?”

Saint Germain closed his mouth for a moment at Siwoo’s question and seemed to be thinking.

After a few seconds, he seemed to remember and opened his mouth.

『Oh, do you mean that ancient historian hunter?』

It was the first time someone had accurately identified Min-jun.

“Did you. . . order it?”

Siwoo asked, clenching his fists so hard they crumbled.

『Hohoho. Well, your murderous intent has suddenly increased.』

“I’ll ask you one last time. Was it you?”

Instead of answering Siwoo’s question, Saint Germain took out four syringes and stabbed them into both of his thighs.

His veins bulged and saliva dripped from his mouth.

The devil’s blood rushed through his body like a storm.

Horns sprouted on his forehead.

Saint Germain grinned and spoke with delight.

『Kukuk. If you defeat me, I’ll tell you who ordered the assassination.』

Siwoo charged forward like lightning at those words.
