The crazy villain regains his sanity - Episode 125
125fury
As the meeting continued late into the night and was sluggish, Ryu Gwang-cheol was the first to declare an end..
“It's late today, so please stop. We have prepared a comfortable place for you..”
“…See you tomorrow, President Ryu..”
Wang Xian, who stood up with a stern expression, left his seat, and Ryu Gwang-cheol buried himself in the chair..
The goodwill that had appeared on his face just a moment ago was completely erased..
“Anyway, even if they die soon, they don't know how to bend their pride. Who knows that they're in trouble right now??”
“You can still be proud.”
“I can't control you. Anyway, you're being annoying..”
Ryu Gwang-cheol decisively cut off what his subordinate said. The subordinate met his narrowed eyes and quickly lowered his head..
“sorry, sorry.”
“I can forgive him, but I don't think he is.?”
“Hehehe!”
The subordinate was startled when he saw the saber-toothed tiger that had suddenly approached him..
The animal's thick breath felt as if it was treating itself to a delicious meal..
It was a clear threat.
Not long ago, I remembered a saber-toothed tiger chewing up traitors alive. His entire body was torn to pieces and eaten until his last breath..
I never wanted to be like that..
The saber-toothed tiger was tasting it, whether he knew it or not. It felt like those sharp molars were going to dig into the back of my neck at any moment..
“stop.”
Crrrrr!
“I'm not eating that..”
Only after those words were said did the saber-toothed tiger lick its lips and retreat. The subordinate, who had barely escaped the monster's threat, sat down in his seat..
“Speaking directly is based on the atmosphere. Do you know what I mean??”
“Yes, sorry. I was presumptuous. please forgive me.”
“If you know, leave.”
“Yes.”
The subordinate lowered his head and ran outside..
“Tsk!”
Looking at that scene, Ryu Kwang-cheol clicked his tongue. He was a very smart guy and was put in an important position, but he was filled with incompetence and became a scared piece of trash..
“Sooner or later, I will have to throw it away as food to the monster..”
There are too many people who are satisfied with little things when it comes to greetings..
There is no need for idiots like that in the country they are building..
Ryu Gwang-cheol, who had decided on the treatment of his subordinates, estimated the future schedule..
“It's a loss-making business, but if you want to make the crowds anxious, you have to show it as results..”
If Kaesong, which we worked so hard to rebuild, is ruined, not only the southerners but also the gangsters will bow their stiff heads..
No matter how much they try to save face, the situation doesn't change..
As long as he exists, no one will be able to break through the monster barrier and reach this place. They will never abandon themselves.
Even your stupid brother down south will know.
I know that my choice to stay here was right..
Ryu Kwang-cheol rolled up the corner of his mouth..
* * *
Two harmful level 8 monsters appeared at the same time in Gaeseong.!
When this news spread, the government was completely shocked..
The shocked president summoned high-ranking government officials, starting with Cheon Myeong-guk..
They were shocked and cried out too..
“We need to dispatch a superhuman immediately..”
“Taking on two at once requires more power!”
“While seeking the cooperation of the three superhumans, we must send the superhuman Choi Jun-ho.!”
I didn't know that the chaotic opinions would come together as one..
Among them, Cheon Myeong-guk said.
“Choi Jun-ho Choin is currently staying in Gaeseong..”
“If so, it's a blessing in disguise.”
The Vice Minister of Awakening muttered with a relieved expression. But the crisis was not over yet..
“But it is impossible to fight against two at the same time..”
“Why did two of them appear?!”
“That's strange. Was it Ryu Gwang-cheol’s doing??”
“…….”
The president became quiet when someone said something that made him angry..
Since news from the diplomatic corps he had dispatched was cut off, there was a high probability that it was a show of force against him..
Even so, sending two plus level monsters?.
This is more than expected.
If this level of power can be mobilized, why has it been confined to the northern part of Pyongyang?.
The President looked at Cheon Myeong-guk and asked.
“Choi Jun-ho, it must be difficult if you are alone.?”
“I don't know if it's just one, but there are two plus level monsters. It would be unreasonable to say that Choi Jun-ho is a superman..”
“Well, maybe I was hoping for too much.”
Just for a superhuman to deal with a plus level monster alone was a feat that had already surpassed human limits..
Not long ago, I was reminded of two plus-level monsters that appeared in Haeju, Hwanghae Province, and Jinju, Gyeongsangnam-do..
I forgot for a moment.
Plus level monsters are beings that can destroy a nation..
The president, who had made up his mind, gave instructions to Cheon Myeong-guk..
“Contact the Holy Guild. If it's Choi Jun-ho's job, he'll move first. I'll pay any amount of the expediting fee, so just make sure to rescue Choi Jun-ho safely.…….”
At that time, the conference room door burst open..
“President! This is an urgent report from Kaesong.!”
“What kind of rudeness is this??”
“Go through the proper procedures right away…….”
“stop.”
As the angry high-ranking officials shouted, the president raised his hand to stop them..
“tell me.”
“It is said that Choi Jun-ho and Choi Jun-ho took care of both monsters that appeared in Gaeseong..”
“……!”
“what?”
The president jumped up from his seat at the unbelievable news. It was the same for Cheon Myeong-guk..
Instead of dealing with two superhumans, you're dealing with two plus level monsters..
Every time a large guild including superhumans hunts, two of those fearsome monsters that have to worry about extreme power consumption appear at the same time, and they hunt them all.?
“tell me what happened.”
“Yes, yes! Superhuman Choi Jun-ho faced Dasom in the form of an eagle and Hanul, a monster in the form of a wild boar, at the same time. Among them, it hit Dasom's wings, weakening her mobility, then focused on her Hanul and smashed her head, successfully hunting her. She belatedly recovered her wounds and rushed at Dasom, but she tore off both of her wings and exploded her head, making her hunt successful..”
The bottom line is that they both exploded their heads..
Perhaps because I summarized it, I even had the illusion that I had easily hunted a plus level monster..
But the process will never be like that..
Even those who looked down on plus level monsters felt how incredibly strong they were when they last appeared..
“…….”
Everyone was speechless at the unimaginable result. The people gathered were speechless at the incredible achievement..
Meanwhile, reports continued..
“The damage was caused by Hanul's assault, destroying the defense line. However, because the evacuation was quick, there were no casualties..”
“I'm glad I heard it. I'm so glad. I thought I wouldn't be able to get through this safely..”
The president sat down and breathed a sigh of relief. It’s not because individuality is safe. I shouldn't think like this, but I was more thankful that Choi Jun-ho was safe than any casualties that didn't occur..
It was terrible to even imagine what would have happened if something had happened to him..
“Mr. President.”
“Yeah, I guess I'll have to follow up..”
My whole body felt weak, but there was still work to be done as president..
When the surprise wore off, all that remained was anger. I couldn’t leave Ryu Gwang-cheol like this..
“Prepare for all-out war. After leaving the minimum defense force, we begin to punish..”
“yes.”
Everyone shouted with a determined expression.
* * *
I feel like my whole body is throbbing..
It was definitely not easy to deal with two monsters at the same time..
Originally, I didn't plan on going overboard like this..
The impact of showing off one's full power for the first time in a long time was quite significant..
Even for me, it was difficult to deal with two plus level monsters..
Fortunately, one of them was Saedaegi, so I was able to exploit the gap and neutralize him for a moment, and in the meantime, I was able to kill one of them..
Wild boars also have surprisingly obvious behavior patterns. The initial strategy worked and the quick turnaround worked..
Otherwise it would have led to a long war.
If a long-term war broke out here, the rebuilt Kaesong would have been devastated..
I was amazed myself. Why did you push yourself like this??
If it were me in the past, I would have pulled out because I didn't want to risk even the slightest damage. And he must have taken advantage of the opportunity to attack the monsters..
I still know that it is a more efficient and safer way..
But I took the risk.
“I guess it's proof that I've changed.”
It's never good. It was an action that could have put my life in danger..
But apart from that, strange emotions were intersecting..
I worked hard to ensure that the individuality that the citizens had built through their blood and sweat could be preserved..
Why did you do that??
When I thought about it, the reason was surprisingly simple..
“Because it gets annoying when everything breaks..”
I had a sense of duty that I would never have done in my last life..
If this place is destroyed, where will we be able to eat and sleep? For me, who hates homelessness due to my experience with hematoma, Kaesong was a precious home for now..
In addition to safely protecting Kaesong, there were other achievements..
“This is the guy Ryu Gwang-cheol sent..”
The two monsters did not attack out of instinct, but came here thanks to someone's will. While smashing the head, I discovered a string that connected the monster to someone in the north..
This is a connection I also felt with the level 8 monster I hunted before..
I thought it was a window to communicate with monsters. This guy was planning to use monsters to destroy Kaesong, but he gave me a clue as to where he was hiding..
Above all, a gap was revealed in the tight border network of monsters..
It opened the way to his hometown..
“Should I get some rest before I go?.”
It's been a long time since I worked harder to protect the city. I gave up my intention to leave right away and decided to take a day off and then move on..
The next day, I greeted Cheon Myeong-guk, who came up just before dawn..
“You should be able to rest in peace, but incidents keep happening..”
“I know it's not the time.”
The more I speak calmly, the more I feel sorry. Berserker has been admonishing married men not to disturb their precious alone time..
“Thank you for your hard work. After hearing that the President was resting, he asked me not to disturb him and to tell him when he wakes up..”
“okay.”
“Thanks to Choi Jun-ho, people were safe..”
“That's it. I was just doing my job anyway..”
That's it for the useless public pronouncements..
Rather, I should tell you my business..
“I'm planning to go this route to deal with Ryu Gwang-cheol..”
“yes?”
“I tracked down the monster he was controlling and found out where it was..”
“Oh, then…….”
“Now that you've killed the monster and opened the way, it's the best time to enter where it is..”
“…….”
Cheon Myeong-guk did not deny it but nodded..
The minority forces in the North are an organization maintained by Ryu Gwang-cheol's charisma..
If he dies, the structure will inevitably collapse..
Or you can just wait for another chance..
There was worry on Cheon Myeong-guk’s face as he looked at me..
“However, if Ryu Gwang-cheol dies, the monsters…….”
“It'll be out of control?”
Are you worried about that??
The monsters are not smart enough to get along well with those who have been fooling them until now..
“Let's go and watch whether they are at odds with each other or not..”
“…I'll report it first..”
“I'll contact you later..”
I notified Cheon Myeong-guk and started heading north..
* * *
As I climbed north, I touched the brown pill. This solitude taken from me by Namgoonggi is the main culprit that has been draining my force and abandoning my conscience..
I've been thinking for a long time about how to use this solitude.
I had no intention of manipulating others with this, but suddenly this thought occurred to me..
Is it impossible to control monsters due to loneliness??
I decided to give it a try..
After making up my mind, I continued heading north. It was safe to say that North Korea, which had been neglected for decades, was a ruined civilization..
Debris of the collapsed building was rolling around on the floor, and plants were digging into the cracks. I thought this would be what it would look like if humanity were to perish..
As we passed through the endless ruins, traces of humans began to emerge little by little..
It's a mess because it's not managed properly. Then, when we went inside, traces of habitation began to appear..
The environment was much worse than the slums on the outskirts of the metropolitan area. It got better as we went in, but it was closer to an environment where beggars lived, not people..
“Tsk.”
I didn't like the sight, so I quickly passed by. Then, after a while, what I saw was a gorgeous palace that was completely different from the messy city..
Just by looking at it, this is where Ryu Gwang-cheol is. I approached the Presidential Palace. Although the level of the awakened people guarding them was quite high, a border network using the force was not established..
I entered inside without difficulty and found a tiger wandering around the spacious yard..
It resembles a saber-toothed tiger that I have seen once before..
Although the size is not that big, the force felt is level 8 harmful..
But what should I say, I didn't feel the instinct to stand close to the edge..
It feels like the wildness has disappeared.
“I think I can subdue it.…….”
I remembered the loneliness in my arms. Just by looking at it, it seems like there is a link with Ryu Gwang-cheol, so I'll have to try it out..
* * *
This spacious palace was an amusement park for the saber-toothed tiger..
There were no competitors everywhere and you could do whatever you wanted..
Although they had a human master, to be exact, it was not a master-servant relationship, but rather an exchange of things they needed from each other..
The saber-toothed tiger liked this place. They do not have to engage in a fierce competition for survival and can receive abundant food just by complying with their owner's requests..
Outside is survival hell. There were a lot of monsters that were much stronger than him, and in particular, 'it' on Mt. Baekdu was a monster that made even himself feel afraid, saying that the world was small and running wild..
In today's case, there was a person he didn't like and he tried to kill him, but the owner stopped him. Humans are a special delicacy. I endured the promise that they would feed me separately soon..
But once I felt the hunger, it did not go away. Wouldn’t it be okay to go out and eat humans? It's a bit messy, but the owner doesn't seem to care much..
At that time, something strange caught the saber-toothed tiger's senses..
The saber-toothed tiger turned around reflexively and saw that the opponent was already approaching..
I figured it out too late. The problem was that I was slow to react once I left the wild..
puck!
The opponent's attack has already penetrated the back of his neck. The saber-toothed tiger that allowed the surprise attack writhed in pain..
This crazy man had frighteningly strong strength..
Twisting!
In order to escape from the human who seemed to have no intention of killing him, the saber-toothed tiger first tried to distance himself instead of resisting..
But the human hand tenaciously followed. I couldn't escape.
Is this man a monster?.
In the end, I ended up being held captive..
The saber-toothed tiger's eyes shook..
If I scream like this, will it save me? What if it gets thrown away as useless? I didn't want to go back to the wild. I did not want to be thrown into a cold, hungry and harsh struggle for survival..
“Does it hurt? Now, open your mouth and take some medicine..”
Then he forced his mouth open and put something in it..
The saber-toothed tiger swallowed it because it didn't want to die. Because he was very useful to humans. He thought that if he just pretended to listen, he would be spared..
At first I didn't know what it was. But something inside stirred and started digging into her head..
From then on, my consciousness became hazy. The saber-toothed tiger saw himself losing control of his body and following someone's commands. He bit off the back of the neck of the human who was feeding him, and tore the body of a security guard who was eyeing him into pieces. And he repeated biting and popping people passing by in the hallway..
This is a violation of the contract with the owner..
The saber-toothed tiger fought against the command to move its body as it pleases..
But the bug guy who took over the body was also powerful. In the saber-toothed tiger's body, two wills clashed and confronted each other..
Then my head kept hurting. We had to drive out this infiltrated guy, but it wasn't easy..
I will not back down like this any longer. When the saber-toothed tiger charged in like he was on the edge of a cliff, he didn't back down and confronted it head on..
The power that was tightly fought grew out of control, and at some point, it exceeded the limit that could be handled..
puck!
The saber-toothed tiger lost consciousness with the sound of something exploding..
* * *
I looked at the saber-toothed tiger lying on the ground with its head exploded..
The guy who fed me loneliness moved according to my will..
The result was the main palace that became a sea of fire. The guy must have been a familiar figure in the President's Palace, so he ran wild and was able to easily penetrate deep inside..
Anyway, solitude was effective in controlling me..
Although the loneliness could not endure due to resistance,.
Should I have added more force? If I had done that, I might have been able to control it a little longer..
It didn't seem like cost-effectiveness for that, but.
There was a lot of force that was consumed by loneliness..
Was it destined to end up like this?.
“Is it because it is made in China?.”
Let's make something good.
I clicked my tongue and went inside..
