The Late Game Healer Is Way Too Strong – Chapter 313

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟑𝟏𝟑: 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐲 2

The ground was black with the coagulated demonic energy that was sinking into the soil.

The shield Siwoo had erected shattered, and dark demonic energy poured in through the cracks.

The suffocating stench and the stench of boiling flesh soaked his skin.

“This is sickening. I can’t use this technique even if I wanted to.”

Siwoo pinched his nose with his sleeve and grimaced.

While magic borrowed the life energy called mana that permeated the world, demonic energy was closer to using the empty energy that was its polar opposite.

In other words, it was a power of decay that was close to death.

The ground turned viscous like tar and bubbled.

The stench of corruption spread in all directions, like the corpse of a rat that had died in a sewer.

Siwoo quickly moved his feet so that he wouldn’t sink in.

The ground, which had instantly turned into a swamp, entered Siwoo’s sharp eyes.

He landed a little further away, released a shotgun, and ran forward.

“The enemy is here! I’ll kill—Ugh!”

Siwoo grabbed the nape of a demon that was nearby and used it as a shield.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He held up the meat shield with one hand and fired the shotgun with the other.

“Graarrgh!”

“Don’t mind it and attack—Ack!”

The demon screamed and rolled on the floor.

The long-range attackers in the back fired arrows at Siwoo.

Thwip! Thwip! Thwip! Thwip!

“Eeeek! Gah!”

A pitiful scream suddenly escaped from the mouth of the guy who had become a meat shield.

However, the sound stopped when more than four arrows were embedded in his body.

“This is not bad.”

Siwoo raised one side of his lips.

The demonic energy flowing from the demon race was offsetting the demonic energy of the arrows to some extent, reducing the burden.

After all, it was difficult to block demonic energy that surpassed magic without using the power of ether.

However, there was a fatal flaw to the meat shield.

Thud!

The arrow pierced his torso, and the upper body of the demon he was holding in his hand exploded.

Its durability was too poor.

“Tsk.”

Siwoo threw the demon he was holding forward with all his might.

The corpse that flew towards the archers blew away three demons, and fragments flew in all directions.

Clang.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Siwoo didn’t stop shooting at the enemies even in the midst of all this.

When he got close, he put away the shotgun and held Murasama in his hand.

The shotgun was convenient and had decent killing power, but the problem was that it consumed a lot of magic power every time he used magic bullets.

In a situation where there were higher-ranking demons like Solaso and Hikatan, who were like commanders, it was necessary to adjust his magic power appropriately.

The blade of the sword drew a silver arc in a semicircle.

Swish!

A sound like that of cutting an apple rang out, and the bodies of the demons were cut in half.

Arrows fired from compound bows pierced the air and poured down on Siwoo.

The demonic energy added to the arrowheads made them even sharper.

“Let’s stop playing around.”

【𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟?】

“I can do it myself, but I hate seeing you play around.”

Siwoo replied as he deflected all the incoming arrows with the blade of his sword.

【𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐩 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞.】

“. . . . .”

Siwoo forgot what to say to Pre’s nonchalant reply and looked at him with a dumbfounded expression.

【𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐯𝐲 𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐬? 𝐈’𝐦 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭. 𝐏𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐫 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐬.】

Neigh!

Pumairmir, who was carrying Pre on its back, let out a small cry.

Both of them were small and stocky like dolls, but they were very noisy.

“If you don’t do anything, I’ll just kill all those guys with their demonic energy and arrows.”

Siwoo said as he glanced at Solaso and Hikatan.

Pre was alive because he was supplied with Siwoo’s magic power, but he also improved his abilities by absorbing pure demonic energy.

That was why he had killed Balok and Orobas and eaten their hearts.

【𝐀𝐡. . . 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝! 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝!】

“Don’t forget that I’m the one who gives you that food, you little chick.”

Siwoo retorted with one corner of his lips raised.

【𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐝-𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰.】

“. . .Do you need it?”

【𝐎𝐡. . . 𝐍𝐨, 𝐈 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐭! 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐝-𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐚 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭-𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧! 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝! 𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞!】

“Uh. . .”

Siwoo wondered if he should take this as a compliment or as a way to feed him.

【𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧?】

“No.”

Siwoo shook his head while patting Pre’s head like he was trying to crush it.

【𝐆𝐚𝐬𝐩! 𝐈’𝐦 𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮! 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐣𝐨𝐛 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮! 𝐊𝐞𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐠!】

Pre made a fuss, but Siwoo ignored him and walked towards the demons.

At that moment, a huge guy came out from among the enemy forces.

“Hoochuk—I’m the captain of this unit. I have orders from Hikatan-nim to tear you apart.”

He had a sturdy body that looked like two black buffaloes combined, and horns that started from his forehead and stretched out to the sides.

As the guy who called himself the captain appeared, a thunderous cheer erupted from the enemy lines.

“It’s Kyunga-nim!”

“Captain Kyunga has entered the battle!”

“Our unit’s best force has come out! That guy is as good as dead!”

The demons cheered, raising their weapons high in the air as if victory was right before their eyes.

“Hoochuk—As Hikatan-nim’s bodyguard and the captain, I will take your neck and present it to Hikatan-nim as a gift.”

Each of the factions’ bodyguards were high-ranking demons.

Like Sakon and Yakon, who were Kraken’s bodyguards.

Kyunga was also a being with unparalleled strength in the Demon Realm.

He believed that he was at least on par with Kraken in terms of strength.

“What are you saying, buffalo face?”

Siwoo frowned at his provocation as if he didn’t care, and the guy’s face began to turn red.

Kyunga slammed the battleaxe he was holding, which was as big as a rock, on the floor and shouted.

“Wha, what, buffalo?! Huchiu – You bastard!! Thanks for the compliment! Even though you’re the enemy!”

“. . .Hmm?”

Siwoo blinked and looked at the guy.

“K-Kyunga-nim, he’s making fun of you!”

At that moment, one of the demons behind him ran up to Kyunga and whispered something.

“What?! How dare you mock me! Huchiu—As expected, humans can’t be left alone!”

Siwoo looked at the demon next to Kyunga with a dazed expression.

“What the hell. . . . is this guy really a buffalo?”

“Huh? Hoochuk—Thank you, bastard!! You’re a good guy after all?! Why don’t you join our unit?”

Kyunga said, his eyes wide open.

“K-Kyunga-nim, that guy’s looking down on you!”

“What?! I guess it can’t be helped! Hoochuk—Cut off his arms and legs!”

Kyunga, whose expression had changed again, rushed towards Siwoo at an incredible speed.

“Ha. . . .  really a simple-minded guy.”

Siwoo smirked and infused Murasama with magic power.

“Uwaaaaaaaaaaah!”

Like a guillotine accelerating from high in the sky, Kyunga’s battleaxe swung down as if it would cut Siwoo in half.

━━━━━Bang!

Siwoo blocked the attack in a half-sword stance, holding the handle of the sword with one hand and the blade with the other.

Despite circulating magic power throughout his body, he felt like his body was being crushed by a force that was clearly different.

It felt like his shoulder blades were coming out and all the muscle fibers in his forearms and legs were bursting.

If someone who didn’t have as much Mana as Siwoo had tried to block this attack in this posture, they would have been cut up entirely, along with the sword.

It was possible because of the sword energy wrapped around the blade and the mythical artifact called Murasama.

“Ugh! This buffalo-looking thing is strong!”

“What—! Hoochuk—If you keep complimenting me like that, it’s too good! You bastard, are you really not going to join our unit?”

“I’m not going to join. . . Die!”

Siwoo changed his angle, dodged Kyunga’s axe, and quickly spun around to slash the guy’s side.

Whoosh!

Blood gushed out and soaked Kyunga’s top.

“Uaaaaaaaargh! This damn human bastard. . . .! Let me spit on you!”

“. . . .”

Kyunga put some saliva on his finger and rubbed it on his side.

“It’s all better!! Huchiu !”

“That’s impossible!”

Siwoo shouted back at him before he knew it.

“It’s really all better! All wounds heal when you apply saliva, human! Huchiu !”

“What kind of crazy nonsense—It’s healed?”

Siwoo made a dumbfounded face when he saw that the blood gushing from Kyunga’s side had stopped.

“The saliva of the captain has a healing effect, so they use it as a potion in the Demon Realm!”

“Huchiu━When injured guys come to me, I spit saliva on them all over the place!”

“. . . .”

The demon next to him explained, and Kyunga himself added.

Siwoo didn’t feel like responding.

【𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐳𝐲 𝐠𝐮𝐲𝐬.】

Pre clicked his tongue from the side.

“If it weren’t for the battlefield, I would have nagged more.”

He poured some Mana into Murayama and glared at his enemy with sharp eyes.

“Huh? D-Don’t look at me with those affectionate eyes. Huchiu —I can’t make love with a human, you know. Sorry.”

“. . . .I’ll kill you.”

Siwoo nodded as if he was determined.

He dashed forward like a thunderbolt and scattered sword energy.

“Good posture, human!! Huchiu!”

Kyunga was also excited by his opponent’s strength and swung his battleaxe with all his might.

However, Kyunga, who had once again expected to face Siwoo’s strength head-on, opened his eyes wide and looked bewildered.

Siwoo, who had already circled behind him and sat on his shoulder.

“Sorry, but that was a feint.”

Stab!

Murayama pierced through Kyunga’s forehead and came out through his jaw.

Kyunga’s eyes rolled around, and his body soon fell forward.

Thud━.

Siwoo got off his body and shook off the blood on Murasama.

The reason he had taken Kyunga’s blow head-on the first time was to figure out the guy’s personality.

He was the type who didn’t think complicated thoughts and simply charged in and fought with strength.

Therefore, Siwoo had anticipated that this attack would also be a vertical downward strike like the last one, and he had lightly dodged the attack and stabbed the guy’s vital point.

“Too bad, he was a fun guy.”

【𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐠𝐮𝐲𝐬.】

“Hey. You’re one of the weird guys too, aren’t you?”

【𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭. 𝐈’𝐦 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫—𝐎𝐮𝐜𝐡! 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞!】

Pre rubbed his forehead with his wing and blinked back tears.

Siwoo glanced at the demons.

They had lost their words when their captain had died so meaninglessly, and they were looking at Siwoo and Kyunga alternately with blank expressions.

“Now it’s your turn.”

Siwoo took a step forward with a murderous aura.

“U-Uwaaaaah! Run away!”

“The captain is dead!”

“Retreat! Retreat!!”

The demons began to run away in panic.

Bang!

At that moment, one of the demons who was running away in the front swelled up purple all over and exploded where he stood.

“W, Where are you, where are you going! Do I, do I look funny to you?!”

“Choose whether to die fighting Min Siwoo or die by our hands! Choose! Choose!”

Hikatan and Solaso glared at the fleeing demons.

The soldiers gulped as they stood between the higher ranking demons, who were their commanders, and Siwoo, who was approaching from behind.

“Don’t tell them to do it, just come out yourselves.”

At that moment, Siwoo appeared in front of Hikatan’s nose and swung his sword.
