The Late Game Healer Is Way Too Strong – Chapter 346

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟑𝟒𝟔: 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐖𝐚𝐫 2

Shamal tilted his head.

“A moth—a being without a physical form that whimpers and dares to call a human a bug?”

Mephistopheles, who met his gaze head-on, sensed the subtle ridicule in Shamal’s voice.

『Do not mistake yourself, mortal. You are nothing more than an insect in my sight.『

The only humans Mephistopheles knew were those like Merlin.

No, Merlin was powerful enough to be compared to a lesser devil.

Those below the 1st Hierarchy of were so weak that they were no different from insects from Mephistopheles’ point of view.

Therefore, humans were nothing more or less than beings who always begged for their lives, groveling before him.

“A mere human—then I wonder what you’ll say when you’re killed by that ‘mere human’ in the future.”

『Fear not, little moth. That will not come to pass. I will spit on your grave myself.『

His massive body, spread out like a wide mist, writhed.

Like Aladdin jumping out of a lamp, a jet-black mist surged up into the sky, rushing towards Shamal.

Fwhoooaaaaaaaah!!!

The fierce momentum of the demonic energy, rushing in from all directions, obscured even the starlight.

“Hmph—”

Shamal sat cross-legged in the air, extending his hands forward.

The energy of the earth seemed to be absorbed into his hands, and soon a complex spell was manifested in the sky.

K───────────AANG!!

A tremendous gravitational force was exerted, centered on Shamal.

The jet-black mist that had been rushing in was slammed straight into the dry ground.

『You. . .!!!』

Mephistopheles let out an irritated voice as the overwhelming gravity covered the area.

He had spread his mist too wide, so his strength was dispersed and he couldn’t overcome the gravity.

He condensed his body as much as he could.

As he shrank to the size of an elephant, his strength grew enough to easily overcome the gravity.

『Now I’ll tear off your limbs—』

Kwagagagagagagagagagak!!!

At that moment, a magnificent magical power struck Mephistopheles’ torso.

Unlike Shamal’s wide-area attack, it was a relentless flash that struck a single point.

The Archdevil was driven deep into the ground, suffering from a pain he had never experienced before.

He wondered about the enemy who had inflicted such an attack on him, more than the pain he felt in his body.

The magical power of humans cannot surpass the demonic energy of devils and demons.

It was a clear concept of downward compatibility.

『How is it possible for a human─』

Mephistopheles glared with crimson eyes and shook his misty body.

This was a kind of rule violation that overturned his common sense.

“How, you little punk! It’s revenge from a human!”

Small in stature and beautiful in appearance.

And a hunter with a playful tone of voice that belied her appearance.

Gandharva shouted, glaring at Mephistopheles.

『Astonishing. . . . A human female wielding such power. Have you pushed your abilities to the limit?』

Gandharva raised one corner of her mouth at the Archdevil’s soliloquy.

All her power.

“Sorry, but I haven’t even started yet?!”

Gandharva was determined to give her all in this battle.

Fwoosh!

Red flames blazed from her artifact, ‘Ignis’ Authority’.

She had turned on the ‘demonic energy’ reaction mode of her gauntlet from the beginning.

Thanks to Siwoo, all her stats were at their peak.

Even if it meant consuming more magical power, this method was the right one.

“You’re all done for today.”

“We’ll send you to a good place.”

The two greatest and strongest hunters in Indian history, Gandharva and Shamal, poured their magical power into Mephistopheles.

🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸

After crossing the rough sea, a monster emerged onto land.

As soon as it landed on land, the monster shook its massive body and let out a roar.

━Kuwoooooooooooooooooooooooo

A sound like hundreds of animals howling at once shook the night sky.

The ground shook and buildings collapsed.

Ku───────Woong!

The monster took a step.

With each step, it seemed like the axis of the earth was being overturned.

A colossal body that was like several buildings combined.

Behemoth.

That giant death advanced like a tyrant, its hard ivory tusks stretched out to the ground.

Nothing mattered to Behemoth, no matter what was in front of it.

With a swing of its long tusks, buildings were destroyed, and when it stomped its feet, nothing remained of the surrounding terrain.

It was a walking disaster.

Behemoth wandered the city, driven by greed.

There was not even a single light left in the already ruined city, and only the eerie darkness and the occasional sound of wild animals could be heard.

The monster wanted to destroy everything.

It had subconsciously realized that this was the reason for its existence, its sole purpose.

Behemoth began to search for living beings, drawn by instinct.

It wanted to smash, trample, burst, and tear everything apart with its tusks.

━Kuwoooooooooooooooooo

It sensed the presence of life nearby.

Behemoth’s pace quickened.

“Fire.”

At that moment, hundreds of lightning bolts fell vertically from the sky, illuminating the darkness with a bright yellow light.

Zzzzeeeeeeereeeeeeeng!!

Each one was not very powerful, but the momentum was terrifying when hundreds of gigajoules gathered.

Behemoth’s hardened muscles tensed up.

Surprised by the sudden attack, Behemoth soon swung its head around wildly.

The long tusks in its mouth slammed into everything in all directions, smashing everything in its path.

Kugagagagagagagag────!!

Behemoth’s hard and rough energy ran wild, and in an instant, the area was devastated and turned into ruins.

However, Kikl, who was watching from the air, did not show any agitation.

As if she were a hunter aiming for her prey, she ordered her surrounding soldiers while watching for Behemoth’s opening.

“Retarget. Fire.”

Z───────────eng!!

A deafening roar filled the sky.

Kikl stared at Behemoth, whose muscles had stiffened and stopped in place.

When she had first arrived here with the Emperor, Kikl had not understood her master’s words.

‘Even Your Majesty can be defeated.’

She thought it was ridiculous.

She had even wondered if it was a joke, meant to trick the empire’s warriors into coming here.

That was because Siwoo’s martial arts had already reached a level that no one on the continent could match.

However, the emotion she felt when she came to Earth was ‘this universe is too vast’.

Unfathomable monsters roamed freely, and the rampant demonic energy was thick enough to suffocate her.

Even the Emperor’s disciples and colleagues surpassed her expectations.

Kikl was truly grateful to be able to follow him here.

To her, who had always been stagnant and limited, this place felt like a training ground where she could break through her walls.

“Glory to His Majesty, glory to the Empire, death to the enemy.”

She filled her Battleaxe with her magical power.

The boiling heat of the strongest knight in the Empire was absorbed into her blade, emitting a magnificent energy.

Behemoth raised its head and looked up into the sky.

A strong and unexpected energy was gathering in one place.

Behemoth gathered fierce demonic energy in its mouth.

It was a terribly powerful force.

Kikl swung her axe vertically, gauging the monster’s strength.

────────Kwagagagagagagagag!!!

The surroundings were filled with light.

🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸

Siwoo simulated the battle situation in his head.

It was a task he had repeated dozens of times, but he pondered it earnestly as if it were the first time every time.

‘Expectations and reality are different. There are always variables.’

Rinoa, who was watching him from the side, watched Siwoo’s expression as if she were sitting on a bed of thorns.

Rinoa, who was always confident and spoke bluntly to everyone, acted like a scared rabbit only in front of Siwoo.

Of course, the reason for this was that she had been beaten up by Siwoo so many times.

“Krararara! Hey, Rinoa! You’re not a dog that needs to poop, so why are you so restless?”

Pantereon, who had been lying down like a real lion, spoke to her frankly.

“You stupid lion cub! Who are you calling a dog! You have no sense of crisis as a subject!”

“Huh? Subject? Whose subject am I?”

Pantereon asked her with wide eyes, as if he really didn’t know.

“. . . Ha.”

Rinoa’s words, “You’re an idiot,” came to the tip of her tongue, but she didn’t say them out loud.

Anyway, if she said it, it would only lead to unnecessary bickering, so it was easier for her to endure it, even though it was frustrating.

“Hey, Your Majesty. Whose subject am I? Do you know?”

“. . . . . . .”

Siwoo, who had been simulating in his head, made the same expression as Rinoa, as if he had bitten into a bug.

“I don’t know either.”

“Really? If Your Majesty doesn’t know, who does? I’ll have to ask Tirkan or Kikl later.”

Pantereon nodded as he made his plan.

【𝐇𝐞𝐲, 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝. 𝐈𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐮𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨?】

Pre, who had been hovering over Siwoo’s head, asked, poking his forehead with his wings.

“If you’re bored, go play with Pumairmir. Stop talking nonsense.”

【𝐏𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝. 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞? 𝐆𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭.】

“The one who’s wasting time is you, not me. Rinoa, play with this thing for a while.”

“Yes. . .? What should I do with it. . .?”

“Just grab it, shake it, and throw it.”

“Huh?”

Rinoa looked at Pre with puzzled eyes.

【𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬, 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐫𝐝? 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐞?】

The doll, which was as small as a baby bird, asked her.

“Hahaha. . . .”

However, she only smiled awkwardly at Pre and scratched her head.

It looked like a cute fur ball, but in reality, it was a monster that fired magic by absorbing Siwoo’s magical power.

When Rinoa learned that Pre was the reason why the Emperor could use spells of different types and absorb the cores of dragons, she saw Pre as a giant devil.

In short, she was like half of the Emperor.

【𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠? 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐞?】

“Oh, no! How could I laugh at His Majesty the Emperor’s possession? Hahaha. . . .”

【𝐈’𝐦 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧! 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐩 𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧! 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐮𝐲! 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐮𝐲!】

Pre slapped Siwoo’s forehead again.

“. . . . . . .”

【𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭! 𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈’𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫—𝐊𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐠!】

Pre couldn’t finish his words and was crumpled up like a piece of paper in Siwoo’s hand and thrown at Rinoa.

“Play with that. And shut its mouth while you’re at it.”

“Yes? T-That, I understand, Your Majesty.”

Siwoo finished his simulation.

Was it?

It was a mystery how the 4th realm Demon King had come to hold all the power.

It was true that the 4th Realm was strong, but the other Demon Kings should have been strong enough as well.

‘But I don’t know what kind of ability it is.’

He had asked the demons and devils he had captured during the war about the 4th Realm, but none of them knew.

‘Bablehner’, the servant of the 4th Realm, who had never been encountered before.

Siwoo let out a faint sigh.

Unless more information came out, there was no other way than to clash and find out.

“Pantereon, get ready.”

“Oh? Where are we going, Your Majesty?”

“It’s our turn now. Have you warmed up your body?”

Pantereon grinned at Siwoo’s question.

“Just give me the order, and I’ll rip out the Demon King’s balls and present them to you.”
