The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 123

“What?”

Lee Yu-cheol’s eyes turned into a triangle shape. This guy, like a dried corpse, is ever-changing.

Does it matter since he will be invoiced soon?

“Anyway, I can’t come to my senses because I’m not being beaten.”

Is my name not known in North Korea?

Well, I did try to figure out when my name would become known and not.

I stretched out my hand without hesitation.

“omg!”

The guy was so scared that he didn’t know he was going to attack me and lay down on his back.

I didn’t care, I loaded the mine with my foot and kicked where he was.

bang!

However, the guy who rolled to the side managed to avoid it.

This guy is the Foreign Minister? Isn’t the Foreign Minister in charge of diplomacy?

As expected, what I saw was accurate. This guy has some pretty useful skills.

But that’s not particularly meaningful.

I was lucky at first to avoid it, but after a couple of attacks I was cornered.

The arm of the guy who was hit by the mine carried by my foot was broken.

Crack!

“Off!”

Although he was moaning in pain, his eyes were shining and he reached out his hand to me. It’s a very common cliché to get caught off guard. I grabbed him lightly and broke his wrist.

puck!

When I kicked my shin, I heard a snapping sound. Nevertheless, he did not break his fighting spirit and attacked him, cutting him to pieces from his shoulders to his arms and legs.

Will is useful, but exerting that will on me means nothing.

At that time, a group of people gathered inside. It was a group of people calling themselves the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea who followed Ri Yu-cheol.

They rushed at me, seeing Ri Yu-cheol with his arms and legs folded and his eyes rolled back.

“Mr. President!”

The head of the security department quickly approached the president and guarded him to prevent Lee Yu-cheol’s group from approaching.

Anyway, their target is me.

I can’t stand it when I see them all gathered together like that.

I reflexively cast Bladestorm.

They were shocked by the swirling force blades, but they were quicker to be swept away by the storm of blades.

The awakened people, who had been living for a while just a moment ago, were trapped in the force blade and torn apart.

Patter!

Flesh and blood were sprinkled on the floor and walls without even leaving a trace.

“….”

The hall was engulfed in silence. The President was looking at the scene I had created with wide eyes. The security guards around me also looked at me with eyes filled with fear and awe.

I approached Lee Yu-cheol without any hesitation.

“Hey, wake up.”

“Ugh…”

The guy let out a weak moan and trembled.

After kicking him a few times, he was barely able to open his eyes.

There is no way a high-level awakened person will die easily. Humans can die easily, but they can also show such tenacity that one wonders if they can survive this.

“From now on, answer each question one by one.”

“Why me… ugh!”

Quack!

I held his shaky hand and pulverized one joint.

“You don’t have to say anything. “There are many places to destroy.”

Chi-ik!

“Ugh!”

As I sprayed the healing agent, a scream came out of the guy’s mouth.

“Ryu Kwang -chul.”

“How dare I… put him out!”

“try.”

Quad deuk!

I didn’t care and broke each node one by one. Lee Yu-cheol clenched his teeth, but to me, who knows well how to torment people, it’s just funny.

“Why don’t you do this?”

Sizzling!

“You don’t have to say anything.”

simplicity and honesty!

“I wonder how long I can last at this point.”

“….”

“Keep holding on. “I don’t care.”

Ri Yu-cheol and I met our gazes. The boy’s eyes, consumed by pain, wandered and soon began to tremble uncontrollably. And he muttered in a dying voice.

“… Ryu Kwang -chul.”

“good job.”

“Please kill me.”

“Actually, I don’t need your cooperation for what I’m curious about.”

My hands covered his head.

* * *

Li Yu-cheol was in a dazed state, drool dripping from his mouth.

“….”

The hall was enveloped in silence. Is it because a lot of things happened suddenly?

There’s still a lot left to process.

I winked at the security chief and pointed to the surviving self-proclaimed Democratic People’s Republic of Korea guys.

“I think we just need to make them open their mouths.”

The word refers to a country, but in the end, they are just a group of people occupying a small piece of land and playing kingdom. It would be better to use this opportunity to shake off any information you have in your head.

If you compare it with what Lee Yu-cheol will say, you will get a rough outline.

“Oh, I understand.”

The security chief issued a suppression order.

However, they seemed to have no will to resist and surrendered obediently.

He doesn’t show the same determination as Lee Yu-cheol. Something is disappointing.

I took a sip and approached the president.

“Are you okay?”

“Other than being a little surprised, I’m fine. by the way.”

The president’s eyes on me were strange. It wasn’t like feeling fear or awe at seeing me kill someone.

After all, not just anyone can become president of a country.

“I understand why people are so upset about Choi Jun-ho.”

“Are you uncomfortable?”

“No way. “I can get over this with a smile.”

The President’s arms were shaking as he said those words.

You’re overdoing it.

“What are they going to do? “It is also possible to extract information right here and now.”

The President shook his head.

“Do you rely on Choi Jun-ho’s superhuman skills for everything? “There is a possibility of appeasement, so I will try to deal with it as conciliably as possible.”

“All right.”

I decided to leave the rest to the President and looked around.

It would be difficult to clean the blood and flesh splattered.

* * *

After that, things went smoothly.

Ri Yu-cheol, who was subjected to brainwashing, revealed that he was the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of State Security, and a standing committee member.

It was a structure where everyone ate it.

The fact that a level 7 awakened person was working concurrently like this meant that the talent pool was narrow.

I’m sure there’s no one there.

“I could barely get any information about monster control or Ryu Gwang-cheol. “It is said that it is a structure in which one cannot move up without thorough loyalty verification.”

“Whether it was then or now, the bad things are strikingly similar.”

The President, who had calmed down to some extent, muttered with a calm expression.

Still, if there is a harvest, it is that their base is located near Pyongyang, and they are said to be using the old North Korean infrastructure that is safe.

And one of the crucial pieces of information is that Ryu Gwang-cheol said while drunk that there were twelve level 8 monsters centered around their base.

They call them the twelve gods of the zodiac.

“Hmm. “That’s a lot.”

A sigh flowed from the President’s mouth. Cheon Myeong-guk tried to get more information, but Lee Yu-cheol couldn’t hold out any longer and died.

Did I treat you a little harshly?

Anyway, there was useful information, but it wasn’t as much as I thought. Seeing as how I was hiding it from even my close associates, I thought it was true that I was a bastard.

“Shall I go and cut off your head?”

“Is there any reason to jump into a place that is a monster field? “Times like these require thorough preparation.”

The President seemed to be struggling with the idea that there were 12 Level 8 remains.

Whether it’s bluff or not, the fact that Ryu Gwang-cheol can handle level 8 harmful monsters seems to be worrying.

There are times when I see it too much.

But you won’t be able to handle them all at once. If they could handle that number, the greedy guy would have pushed right down to the south.

“Are you going to give up?”

“The enemy force is too strong. “If ten monsters attack at once by controlling monsters, we won’t be able to stop them.”

Well, there have been times when monsters have appeared simultaneously, but there are not many cases where they attack all at once. The president was worried about that.

If we are not careful, the precious military power of the Republic of Korea could be destroyed in an instant.

Hmm, but why don’t I feel any sense of crisis?

It’s not because you can throw yourself out there in one go. Anyway, there is bound to be a limit to how many of them can attack me at once, so if you feel like your strength is exhausted after killing one or two, you can just leave.

“You trust me.”

“Is that okay?”

“yes.”

“Good, Director Cheon. Immediately seek cooperation from a large guild. Instead, share the information you gained today privately. “Make sure you only apply to those who are willing to do it.”

“All right.”

* * *

The Holy Guild was the first to respond to the Blue House’s proposal, followed by the Asgardian Guild. The Reaper Guild suffered heavy damage in the previous hunt and retreated, saying they needed time.

First of all, they succeeded in attracting two of the three major guilds.

It didn’t stop there, Lee Se-hee came looking for me. He was dressed modestly, but joked that he needed to look good to me.

“The reason the government will not back down and press ahead with the advance north is because Mr. Jun-ho showed confidence.”

…Is this guy a ghost too? He knew exactly what I was saying.

“I think it’s worth a try.”

“Yes, I’m going to bet on Junho’s confidence.”

“You know that there is a big risk if you fail, right?”

I tried to scare it a little, but what came back was a triumphant snort.

“I know. But this is a bet you can’t lose. “As long as we have Junho, we won’t suffer much damage.”

Your faith in me is firm. Saying this, it’s hard to say anything more.

Well, there is no need for humility, which I don’t even have.

Anyway, now it’s time to make a choice.

“Please include Yunhee in this hunt.”

“yes? But isn’t that what Junho was hesitant about?”

Lee Se-hee’s concerns are valid. It may seem like the Shinsung Guild is trying to catch me by putting Yoon-hee in the spotlight, and it may seem like I am taking care of Yoon-hee.

I know that it was said out of consideration for me and Yunhee. But it can’t go on like this forever.

At times like this, what Dahyun Jeong said comes to mind.

So what should I do?

If you fail to seize an important opportunity because you are worried about what’s going on around you, it will ultimately lead to great losses.

“You can’t miss the guild’s important events just because you care about me. He needs to roll more too. Let’s make one thing clear. “Is Yoon-hee an unnecessary force?”

“no.”

Sehee Lee answered firmly.

“Yoonhee is a very important force and future for the Holy Guild. I think Yoonhee has the potential to become a superhuman in the future. So I want to support everything that can help them become stronger. But Junho said he wouldn’t mind, so we’ll move without worrying about it. “As an official of the Holy Guild, thank you for your concern.”

“So how much are you planning to mobilize?”

Lee Se-hee grinned.

“Everything!”

It’s big.

* * *

Unintentionally, I dragged out all members of the Holy Guild to participate in the war and headed to Gaeseong for reconnaissance and training for Jeong Da-hyeon.

Since my red toma died, I recently bought a subcompact car again. They chose white instead of red and gave it the name Pegasus.

It is a satisfying ride that has not changed.

Da-Hyeon Jeong, who was sitting next to me, said she had a day off today, but seeing her take the leave and go to training made me think that this wasn’t normal either.

In my last life, I was upright and just. You didn’t feel strange when you met me, right? Oh no way. I’m normal, so there’s no way Jeong Da-hyun, who was affected, would become strange.

If something goes wrong, it’s likely Jung Joo-ho’s fault. Judging by the fuss being made towards me, it seems like hair loss hysteria is worse than I thought.

“Sehee made a big decision.”

“It’s a big decision.”

“Yoonhee is going too?”

“I didn’t know, but I had a lot of trust in him.”

In my eyes, he’s a perfect little child.

Dahyun Jeong smiled.

“I may be young in your eyes, but I am a great hunter who does my job. “I train hard every day so as not to be a nuisance to my brother.”

“Then I’m glad.”

“You need to trust Yunhee more.”

is it. Because all I see every day is the sofa and the image of it becoming one and the same.

“no. Are you saying you work really hard?”

From then on, I had to listen to Yun-hee’s nagging for about 10 minutes, telling me that I should recognize her efforts.

…I said it for no reason.

I changed the subject.

“Why did the Sacred Guild mobilize its entire force?”

“Because I trust you.”

“me?”

“Actually, there is no superhuman I can trust more than my brother.”

“okay?”

You look like a ghost.

It was consistent with what Sehee Lee said about betting on my confidence.

In fact, have I become an icon of trust without even knowing it?

“I have never failed to achieve my goal, and the process is quick and clear. Although it is a short period of time, the achievements my brother has made are significant. As I have done it perfectly, people around me have been able to trust and follow me. Me too, right now.”

I still feel awkward receiving someone’s trust. I’ve never really accepted the trust of those around me. It’s not that I don’t like it. Rather good.

However, if I have to be bound by responsibility because of that, I would like to decline.

Responsibility is still something that doesn’t go together like oil and water to me.

When we arrived at Kaesong, we headed a little higher. Then, when we arrived at a place where humans could no longer reach, we got out of the car and went in search of the monster.

After searching around for about an hour, I succeeded in finding a monster of the level I wanted.

“Today is the first day, so let’s go quickly.”

The original plan was to drop Jeong Da-hyun in front of the 7th level monster.

However, I thought it would take time to get used to the monster, so I changed my mind and lowered it to level 6.

Dahyun Jeong nodded with a determined expression.

“yes.”

“When hunting monsters, what you need to aim for is the neck. “The best way is to pierce the heart or brain.”

Among them, the brain is the best. It is often difficult to find the heart of monsters with bizarre bodies, but it is not difficult to find where the brain is.

Sometimes guys with small brains do strange things.

This often becomes a significant variable.

“Now try hunting alone.”

“yes?”

“Why are you so excited?”

Rather, Dahyun Jeong gave me an expression that I didn’t understand. The monster has sensed us and is approaching us, but it looks lax. This is a deduction.

“What are you doing? We need to be on alert quickly.”

“yes!”

“Then hit it with all your might. Don’t let down your guard. Otherwise, you die.”

I left some warm advice and then stepped back.

Let’s take a look at your skills.

* * *

“30 points.”

“….”

Jeong Da-hyun lowered her head at Choi Jun-ho’s sentence.

After a fierce battle, the monster was hunted. However, the process was so tedious that even I could not give it a generous grade.

“Monsters are less rational than humans, but more instinctive. “But just because they have poor intelligence doesn’t mean they can’t use tricks in the battle for survival.”

“yes.”

Dahyun Jeong almost died three times while dealing with a level 6 harmful monster. I managed to avoid it by using my intuition, but if the monster’s claws had been a little longer or its movements had been smooth, I would have been fatally injured.

But this experience became my bones and flesh. Choi Jun-ho’s advice, which felt vague, became clear to me as I went through this hunt.

So I was rather grateful for the kind words.

“Next is the 7th level of harm. “If you’re having a hard time, tell me.”

“I will try.”

“That’s how Jeong Da-hyun is. “Just rest for now.”

Jeong Da-hyeon looked at Choi Jun-ho turning around and made a puzzled expression.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going to warm up while I’m here.”

Are you really going to go hunting?

“I’m waiting for you.”

As if what he said was true, Choi Jun-ho walked away at a fast pace and soon disappeared.

About an hour had passed.

Da-Hyeon Jeong saw several golden lightning strikes in the mountains located far away.

Rumble! Pretzel Gwang! Boom!

It was a series of shocks, as if the heavens and earth were turning upside down.

Jeong Da-hyeon looked at the scene as if she were fascinated.

“…This is monster hunting.”

I was able to understand why Lee Se-hee said that the flower of hunting is hunting monsters, not villain hunting.

The scale was different. The battle with the villain was person-to-person, but the monsters themselves were of different species.

The roar that lasted for over an hour suddenly quieted down. And when more than an hour had passed, Choi Jun-ho’s appearance began to come into view.

But I wasn’t alone.

“Have you regained some stamina?”

“yes. I’m OK. But my brother…”

Choi Jun-ho’s two-handed lizard was dragged along. One was about 3m long and the other was a whopping 10m long.

“This is a cub, and this is a level 8 monster. “He was a bit annoying with his poison.”

Then, he threw it in front without a big deal.

“It was a male, so I thought there was a female nearby, so I waited, but it didn’t come.”

Choi Jun-ho regains his appetite with regret.

“….”

When hunting a monster, you have to annihilate a whole family.

Well, if I survive and seek revenge, it will be a pain in the ass.

It might be best to dry the seeds while you can.

Jeong Da-hyeon, who achieved enlightenment, nodded and said.

“If I had given hope of saving the baby instead of killing it, wouldn’t it have appeared?”

Because maternal instinct can take precedence over survival instinct.

Choi Jun-ho lifted his head at those words. Dahyun Jeong first apologized because she thought she had gone too far.

“I went too far ahead, didn’t I? I’m sorry.”

“no.”

Choi Jun-ho shook his head resolutely and spoke with an expression of admiration.

“…you have talent.”
