The Late Game Healer Is Way Too Strong – Chapter 279

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟕𝟗: 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 3

Siwoo unfurled a spell formula imbued with his magical prowess.

Siwoo immediately unfolded different spells with each hand, and three enormous circles intersected in front of him, producing thousands of symbols, characters, and the circuit lines that connected them.

However, the three magic formulas only overlapped as an intersection, not responding to each other or circulating mana.

Siwoo directly interfered, distorting the strokes of the magic circuit and modifying the symbols and characters to enable the formulas to resonate with each other.

Ordinarily, there was almost no need for a magician to touch a magic circle after constructing it.

Furthermore, he was not double-casting or triple-casting but breaking down the three magic circuits and connecting them into one, different spell formula.

Saint Germain had never heard or seen this method of implementing magic.

Even Merlin, known as the world’s greatest mage, would not do this.

No, it would be more accurate to say that he could not do it.

Who would think of modifying a magic circuit’s spell formula and merging it with another magic circuit during combat?

It was practically useless, incredibly inefficient and wasteful, and essentially a fruitless endeavor.

However, Siwoo accomplished all of this in milliseconds.

It was difficult to express simply as fast; his lightning-fast computational process, vast understanding of magic, and, above all, his delicate manipulation of mana made all this possible.

In front of his eyes, Saint Germain felt goosebumps without knowing it as he watched this whole process unfold.

The spell formulas that Siwoo had constructed resonated with each other and circulated as one magic formula.

[New Moon: Gungnir]

Odin’s divine weapon, said to have killed the gods of the sky, burned darkly in Siwoo’s hand.

『My, oh my. Is this what you’ve been hiding as your ultimate technique? It’s truly astonishing.』

Saint Germain muttered, looking at the Gungnir imbued with tremendous mana and exuding a ferocious aura.

“When did I say this was my ultimate technique?”

However, Siwoo responded sarcastically to his words.

『Are you still beating around the bush? With such skills, surely no one can contain . . . 』

“Beating around the bush or not, it’s not an ultimate technique.”

Ignoring Saint Germain’s response, Siwoo summoned the power of ether.

Azure ink filled his dantian to the brim.

Agony began to course through his mana veins throughout his body, as if broken glass was circulating, and his entire circulatory system throbbed.

The moment Siwoo opened the door to the second core, he immediately unleashed his technique.

‘𝘈𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘢𝘭𝘧-𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯.’

Kwa-kwa-kwa!

Hard scales like a dragon’s appeared on Siwoo’s arms, and an immeasurable wave of murderous intent poured out from him.

『. . . . . .!!』

Saint Germain could not breathe.

It was not a skill or a special technique.

It was just Siwoo’s murderous intent and the aura of pure mana he emitted.

Despite that, the surrounding Hunters, including Saint Germain, did not dare to approach Siwoo.

Gandharva was particularly shocked.

She had known that Siwoo was strong.

However, it was a vague guess, not an accurate assessment of his strength.

As the world’s first SSS-rank, she had assumed that he would be at the top of the ranks, comparable to ‘Misteltein.’

However, the power of ether and the Art of the Half-Dragon that Siwoo had just unleashed far exceeded her expectations.

In fact, among all the people she had seen, there was absolutely no one stronger than Siwoo.

Misteltein?

She could confidently say that no one among them could face Siwoo and win.

She herself had no confidence in facing Siwoo’s current aura head-on and emerging victorious.

Clack.

At that moment, Siwoo pulled his arms back behind his shoulders and thrust Gungnir forward with all his might.

Siwoo’s physical body, enhanced by the power of ether and the Art of the Half-Dragon, had already surpassed that of a Transcendent.

Perhaps that was why.

Unlike when Siwoo usually fired it with mana enhancement, Gungnir seemed to scream as if it were overwhelmed by the force.

It was because it couldn’t fully handle Siwoo’s power.

Gungnir tore through the air, incinerating everything in its path and flying towards its target.

Saint Germain hurriedly grabbed a scalpel and cut open his chest.

As his skill was implemented, several homunculi were instantly born from the viscous blood, their bodies swelling as they formed a shield in front of Saint Germain.

Zzzzzziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!!!

Gungnir burned everything with the power of lightning.

The homunculi left no trace, and Saint Germain, his body half-crushed, vomited black blood.

“Heh. . . What on earth is that mana. . . .”

However, he could not finish his sentence.

Siwoo, who had suddenly appeared before him, grabbed Saint Germain’s arms and twisted them off.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

Then, he punched his left flank with great force.

―――――――!!

A sonic boom occurred, and a tremendous flash of light exploded.

A mana wave swept through the surroundings, and the upper half of Saint Germain’s body was torn to shreds.

Demonic energy tried to reassemble his body, but Siwoo’s destructive power was currently too strong for his regenerative power to keep up.

『Where on earth did this power come from━━』

Moreover, in Saint Germain’s perception, the power that Siwoo was using was overwhelming his demonic energy.

Through countless studies, it had become a well-known fact that demonic energy surpassed mana.

However, what kind of power was this that could counteract demonic energy?

But Siwoo was under no obligation to answer his question.

Siwoo struck the demon’s mouth with his left fist.

Pakaaaaaaaaaak!!

His jaw shattered, and he staggered.

Saint Germain hurriedly took out an ampoule he had researched and studied in alchemy to counter Siwoo, but Siwoo’s movements were no longer human.

Siwoo, who had soared high into the sky, slashed down at Saint Germain, cutting through the darkness.

Zzzzzziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!!!

The ground shattered, and a massive crater was created in the area.

He approached Saint Germain, who had become a ragdoll, and grabbed him by the hair, lifting him up.

If he had not been implanted with a devil’s heart, he would have died long ago.

Siwoo whispered in his ear, as if asking a question.

“Now answer me. Min-jun, who ordered the assassination?”

Saint Germain twisted his body and laughed, on the verge of death.

『Strong . . . You are. . . Heh heh . . . Since a promise is a promise . . . I’ll tell you.』

He whispered someone’s name in Siwoo’s ear.

“Are you sure?”

『Heh heh . . . I don’t. . . have a hobby of lying. . . Because God . . . doesn’t like it.』

Siwoo nodded and looked at Pre.

“Eat it now.”

【𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐈’𝐯𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲.】

A jet-black magic circle formed around Pre.

And from within that unfathomable darkness, a jet-black hand protruded and dug into Saint Germain’s body.

He looked at the hand rummaging through his body with an expression of admiration.

『Oh . . . What is this? It’s amazing! I want to study it, experiment with it . . . . What is the true nature of this creature━━』

As he finished speaking, Saint Germain’s mouth closed as the devil’s heart was pulled out, and he sank into eternal silence.

An end without a shred of pity, sympathy, or regret.

“Is it tasty?”

【𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐚𝐝, 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥’𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭. 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭, 𝐈’𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞.】

“. . . I don’t need it, so you can have it all.”

Siwoo picked up his withered corpse and climbed out of the collapsed ground.

On the devastated road, his party, who had already finished the battle, were waiting for Siwoo.

“You’ve worked hard, Little Master.”

“You’ve suffered, you.”

Benedict and Layla approached him first and extended their hands.

It seemed that they had drunk mana potions and recovered their condition as soon as the battle was over.

Gandharva approached Siwoo with a worried expression.

“Are you okay after using such great power? It seemed like an excessive amount of force, no matter who looked at it . . . .”

As soon as Siwoo killed Saint Germain, he withdrew the power of ether and healed all of his injuries with Heal.

However, the backlash did not subside easily.

The last time he had fought Kim Eun-ju, he had suffered from aftereffects for several days.

“I’m fine. I’ve healed all my wounds.”

“Your complexion doesn’t look good. Are you really okay?”

Gandharva asked again.

She seemed to be surprisingly observant in this regard.

Siwoo did not bother to make up excuses or lie.

“As you said, it’s a big technique, so it takes a while to recover. It will take a few days.”

“Tsk. If I had known, I would have fought him instead of you.”

She looked regretful, as if Siwoo’s condition bothered her.

“No. Thanks to me fighting, I got some good information. By the way, should I report this body to HSIU?”

Siwoo hesitated for a moment, pointing to Saint Germain’s corpse lying on the ground.

“Ah! I’ll take care of it! Edward will love it. But . . . the square was burned to the ground, but the loss of life was minimized, so I guess I should be satisfied with that.”

Leonie, the head of the HSIU German branch, took over the reporting for Siwoo and took charge of disposing of the body.

“Now there are 2 left in the 〈Pandemonium〉 1st Hierarchy?”

“Yes. Once we kill them, the next target is the demon race.”

Gandharva asked, and Siwoo answered.

Before a full-scale war broke out, they had to at least eliminate the force known as 〈Pandemonium〉.

Because nothing they planned to do would benefit humanity.

“Siwoo, what are you going to do next?”

Gandharva asked with an innocent expression.

“Will you fight with us again next time?”

“Of course! We’re the ‘War Response Team,’ aren’t we?”

Siwoo chuckled and nodded.

“Yes, then let’s go back together.”

🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸

The news of Count Saint Germain’s death soon spread throughout the world.

It was a breaking news article that came out just a few dozen minutes after the article about the chaos at the French festival.

A joint attack by SSS-rank Hunters Siwoo and Gandharva.

People were excited by this unexpected combination.

And many were furious at Saint Germain’s terrorism against his own country and his devil-like appearance, branding him a traitor who had sold his soul to the demons.

France had been the victim of terrorism, but at the same time, the perpetrator of the terrorism was a former ‘Misteltein’ from France, putting them in a difficult position.

‘Misteltein’ expressed their gratitude to Siwoo, who had dealt with Saint Germain, and promised to take an active role in resolving the issue going forward.

Of course, the ones who took the consequences of all this the most unfavorably were 〈Pandemonium〉.

“That Saint Germain, who had transformed into a new human, died without being of any use . . . !”

Merlin slammed his staff on the ground, barely suppressing his anger.

Baba Yaga skimmed through several videos uploaded to Hunter Tube and watched a clip that showed Siwoo’s battle scene.

“Oh my, what is this appearance? Saint Germain is no match for him. Was Min Siwoo this strong?”

“That’s the problem. Even if we are stronger than Saint Germain, we don’t know if we are stronger than him after he was transformed into a new human.”

“That’s true. We’ve never fought him.”

“But looking at how Min Siwoo completely overwhelmed him, I think the idea of confronting him is sheer folly.”

Merlin took pride in his strength.

He believed that there were only about three people among humans who could compare to him.

And that too, barely.

However, Min Siwoo was not at that level.

If he were to have a life-and-death battle with him, it would not last for more than 2 minutes.

“What are we going to do?”

“I’m going to start an experiment with the Doctor within this month.”

“Oh my. It’s still incomplete . . . ?”

“It doesn’t matter. Just start it.”

Merlin looked at Baba Yaga and prophesied the end of the world.
