The Late Game Healer Is Way Too Strong – Chapter 321

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟑𝟐𝟏: 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 1

The answer was already known.

It was obvious what he would say.

No, it didn’t matter if the answer he gave was different from what was expected.

Even if he said something unexpected or mocked him again, it wouldn’t matter.

After all—

“Do I need to know that?!”

“Yes, I knew you would say that.

Siwoo’s eyes widened as he exuded a cold aura.

Ku-goo-goo-goo-!

The intense murderous intent radiating from him crushed the ground and distorted the flow of the atmosphere.

“Keuk. . .!!”

Merlin felt as if his skin was peeling off as he met Siwoo’s fierce gaze.

Just looking at him felt like his flesh and bones were being cut by a knife.

It was a different kind of fear than facing a Demon King or an Archdevil.

‘Is this. . . the killing intent that a human can unleash?’

Merlin swallowed his saliva and involuntarily took a step back.

Crow and Ryu Ji-hwan, who were standing there, also bit their tongues at the pressure coming from Siwoo.

If they didn’t pull themselves together, they would faint on the spot.

“Saint Germain and Baba Yaga  were found ‘not guilty’ according to my judgment.”

“Heup. . .! Cough!”

Words, sentences, and phrases were like blades, sharp and piercing.

“Can you do the same?”

“Keughhhhh! How dare you judge me! I only did what I thought was right!”

“So you asked Black Mamba to kill him?”

“Kehehehe! You want to hear the answer from me? Then suppress me with your—”

“I intend to do that, you son of a bitch.”

Siwoo, who had rushed in at the speed of light, punched Merlin in the abdomen.

━━Jjeeeeeereeeeeeng!!!!

A sonic boom occurred, followed by a loud noise.

As demonic energy and magic collided, a tremendous shockwave erupted, and the floor collapsed, creating a huge crater.

Koo-gwa-ga-ga!!!!

Merlin flew dozens of meters away and crashed into a rock wall.

“Ughhhhhhhhh! Keughhhhhhh. . .!!”

Merlin, who was lying on the floor vomiting blood, looked at his trembling hands.

He had accepted hatred, and demonic energy was enveloping his entire body.

It was clear that he was at least twice as powerful as when he was ‘Misteltein’.

Right now, he could probably fight three or four ‘Mistelteins’ at once, but the man in front of him—

“Th. . . This monster! This monster-like guy. . .! How can a mere human possess such power. .!”

“You wouldn’t understand, someone who got strong by sucking up to the Demon race.”

“What the hell?! You arrogant bastard! Don’t you dare judge me!”

“Why wouldn’t I? If it hadn’t been the Demon King’s powers, you would have lived like a bug and died.”

Siwoo usually spoke in a joking manner, but now his voice was very dry and desolate.

The bad news he had heard when he returned from the other world.

He had finally confronted the real culprit who killed his disciple and removed his mask.

Because of that, Siwoo had no room for other emotions.

“Keugh━! Don’t judge my life, Min Siwoo! Didn’t you run away after fighting the 4th realm Demon King? How are you any different from me? We’re both losers!”

Siwoo sighed softly.

Most of his sense of guilt towards his disciples was because of that, but the other party had crossed the line.

If his disciples had resented and hated him for that, Siwoo would have had nothing to say.

They were like children who followed him like parents.

In fact, Siwoo had done nothing wrong.

It was an unavoidable situation, and it was something he had never expected.

However, as a teacher, he could only feel sorry and sorry.

“Yes, I had to leave my disciples and go far away.”

Siwoo muttered in a low voice.

“But. . . it’s not the place of a Demon race lackey to talk nonsense. Especially not a bastard who ordered an assassination.”

A violent storm-like aura spread from Siwoo.

The most important fact was that Merlin had ordered the assassination of Jeong Min-jun.

Apart from that fact, nothing else reached Siwoo.

He kicked the ground and swung his sword at Merlin without warning.

Kwaa-aaah-!

“Kkeughhhhhh!”

Merlin raised his staff and blocked Siwoo’s Muramasa.

A powerful shock shook his shoulder and wrist as if they were going to break.

Siwoo knocked Merlin’s staff away with his sword and attacked again.

Koo-gwa-ga-ga!!!

Muramasa charged towards its opponent like a runaway locomotive.

A merciless flash exploded, and the ground around them was torn apart.

Blood poured from Merlin’s mouth and his injured areas.

“Kyaaaaaaaagh! I will never, never give up! I will stand tall at the top of this world!”

“You’re dreaming.”

Siwoo kicked him in the abdomen.

Ppeu━━━━eok!!

The sensation of his ribs shattering traveled up his toes.

Pa-ga-ga. . .!!!

Merlin, who had been thrown to the ground, couldn’t even scream as he held his stomach and opened his mouth.

“━━━━Heuk. . .!!”

He couldn’t breathe.

His broken ribs had pierced his lungs, and he couldn’t breathe.

When he inhaled, the sound of air leaking out echoed in his ears.

“Haak. . .”

Merlin grabbed the ground with his hands as if in pain.

Grains of sand slipped through the cracks in his fingers.

“Did you think you could get away with killing my disciple?”

At that moment, a chilling voice woke his mind.

Merlin barely lifted his face and looked up at Siwoo.

The confidence and courage he had felt until now were gone, and fear and terror filled Merlin’s chest.

“Heuk. . .!”

Waves of death washed over him like a tide.

He wanted to cry out for help.

He wanted to beg him to forgive him just this once, saying that he would repent for the rest of his life.

In the first place, he had clung to the Demon race and entrusted himself to them in order to survive and enjoy more, so it wasn’t strange that his survival instinct had kicked in.

However, his opponent and the timing were the worst.

“What are you mumbling about? Can’t you open your mouth properly?”

Siwoo, whose face looked like a ghost, grabbed Merlin’s jaw and tore it off.

“Hi. . .! Hi. . .!!”

Merlin let out a mangled scream.

No, he tried to scream, but what came out of his throat was a meaningless sound.

Merlin fumbled with his hands and felt his face.

A strange emptiness and an indescribable, horrible pain filled the place where his lower jaw had been completely removed.

“You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for this moment.”

At that moment, Siwoo crouched down and grabbed Merlin by the hair.

Merlin wanted to use magic, but he couldn’t.

Magic was an advanced mental task that materialized the caster’s will and imagination into magical power.

If one became proficient in magic, they could manifest it with minimal mental power, but it still required concentration.

Just as physical strength was essential for a combat Hunter, rational calmness was essential for a mage.

However, Merlin could not be calm, rational, or exert his mental power now.

“Heui. . . Haeu. . .!”

His mind had already collapsed.

Furthermore, Siwoo was the one who knew better than anyone the darkness and fear in the eyes of his opponent.

“Tell me when you’re about to die. I’ll heal you with Heal.”

“Heua. . . Heu. . . Ahhhhhhhhh. . .”

Ppa-ak!! Pa-ga-aa-ak!!!

Siwoo’s fists, mixed with the power of ether, rained down on Merlin’s entire body like a waterfall.

His flesh burst and his bones broke.

With each punch, a pain as if he were being hit with a sledgehammer surged through his body.

It was the first time he had felt such great pain since he was born.

It wasn’t just painful; it felt like someone was frying his brain in oil.

“Keughhhhhhhhh. . .!”

The attack itself was just a simple punch, not even a skill, but the anger and hatred contained in it crushed Merlin’s flesh without filter.

For a moment, he was frustrated that he, a ‘Misteltein’-level being, could be so powerless.

Merlin felt his consciousness fading away in an instant.

Siwoo looked at the unconscious Merlin.

His body, covered in blood, didn’t look unusual even if he had already died.

“This is just the beginning, you son of a bitch.”

However, Siwoo still hadn’t released even a tenth of his emotions.

A golden-shining spell unfolded and repaired Merlin’s broken bones and torn wounds.

His torn-off jaw was restored, and his lungs, which had been pierced by his ribs, returned to normal.

However, Siwoo wasn’t the kind of person who would just watch that.

Puuuuuuuuuk!!

He pierced his finger deep into his chest, creating a hole in his lung.

“Hi-euk!!”

Merlin, who had been unconscious, opened his eyes wide at the sudden pain.

He reconfirmed his situation with an expression of disbelief.

He had clearly been tortured and thought he would die. . . but now his body was intact.

Except for the hole in his lung that had just been pierced.

Siwoo whispered to the dazed Merlin in a voice like a razor blade.

“You can’t die without my permission.”

In his fading consciousness, Merlin wondered how things had gone so wrong.

🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸

“Hey! Your mom slept with a monster and gave birth to you!”

A young boy who had been playing quietly in the playground was startled by the sound.

Neighborhood boys who looked three or four years older than him were giggling at him.

“Oh, no. . . . My, my dad is a, a human.”

“That’s funny! They said all the kids who live in ‘that house’ are monsters’ children!”

The boys surrounded the little boy and looked down at him in a threatening pose.

The little boy became more discouraged and crouched down.

“My uncle said the same thing! He said the kids in that house are all abandoned children of the demons!”

“Right, our parents told us never to play with them. But what’s ‘sleeping’ around?”

“I don’t know. They said it was bad?”

The boys spoke to each other and threw pure malice at the little boy.

“Anyway, it’s clear that your parents threw you out. So you live in an orphanage.”

“My, my mom and dad didn’t abandon me. . . .”

“If not, why do you live in an orphanage, you retard!”

“They, they didn’t abandon me. . . .”

“An orphan talking back?”

One of the boys hit the little boy with a stick in his hand.

Slap!!

“Ouch! Ah, it hurts. . . .”

“What can I do! I hit you because it hurts!”

“D-Don’t do it. . . . My hyung won’t leave you alone. . . .”

“Huh! He’s not your real brother anyway! What kind of brothers are you, fellow orphans!”

“Hehehe. Is that right?”

At that moment, a strange laughter pierced between them.

The boys turned their heads with a puzzled expression.

Bam!!!

And then out of nowhere, the boy who had swung the stick was knocked down backwards by a fist.

“Aaaagh! Blood, blood is coming out! Waaaaah!!”

“This little brat is making a fuss over a little nosebleed.”

A boy who looked a little older than them glared at them with dirty eyes and laughed mockingly.

“Y-You will never get away with this! We’ll tell our parents about this!”

“Oh really? Then I’ll get beaten up even more because I’ll get caught anyway!”

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The boys all ran away crying.

“H-Hyung. . . .”

The little boy who had been crouching down hugged him with tears in his eyes.

“Seriously! Don’t just stand there, you should have hit them too!”

“B-But. . . . I, I can’t fight. . . .”

“Jeez. Then just call me whenever that happens. Got it?”

The little boy nodded his head, shedding tears.

“Y-Yes. . . . Ji-hwan-hyung.”

“Okay. Let’s go, Min-jun.”

Ryu Ji-hwan and Jeong Min-jun walked to ‘Easy Orphanage’, their home.
