The crazy villain regains his mind - Episode 25
25fury
“······.”
The moment the news of Kim Young-hwan's death became known, Jeong Joo-ho quickly contacted the hunters who were building a siege..
The message was to immediately lift the siege and retreat..
“I will take responsibility for it, but······.”
Level 8 Death of a Superhuman. That wave will never be light. As a result, the government found itself in a situation where it had no choice but to be dragged around by large guilds. I thought it was crazy that Choi Jun-ho's value was bound to increase further..
Kim Young-hwan's death was largely self-inflicted. If he hadn't tried to hog the ball, other hunters would have helped him escape before he died..
There was a question here.
Why did Choi Jun-ho, who had been targeting Berserker the whole time, just watch the battle between Berserker and Kim Young-hwan? Since when did that guy listen to others??
“no way? No, probably not..”
Kim Young-hwan was quickly killed by Berserker before anyone could intervene. As soon as the news was delivered, Choi Jun-ho was dispatched to the battle site. There would have been no way to do anything about it..
I erased the what-ifs that filled my head and focused on leadership..
When Kim Young-hwan's death became known, the surrounding atmosphere became turbulent. If a Berserker were to invade in this atmosphere, he could suffer great damage..
The reason I wanted to catch the two villains was because I feared that if they joined the league, it would lead to an even bigger disaster. However, since Kim Young-hwan is dead, if you want to catch them, you have to be prepared for great damage..
Jeong Ju-ho decided that there was no need to take that much damage and ordered a retreat to save more people..
“We stay until the end, giving our comrades time to retreat..”
“yes!”
Special team official hunters nodded at Joo-ho Jeong's declaration..

After conveying the news of Berserker's escape to the main base, I announced that a puppet master was attacking a large guild hunting team and started moving on a motorcycle..
The Puppet Master is a qualitatively different villain from Berserker..
This guy has kidnapped countless hunters and turned them into dolls without even once revealing his true form..
There was no reason for the process. Sometimes it's for fun, sometimes it's just fun, sometimes it's because I want to kill someone.
What the puppeteer enjoys most is making the kidnapped dolls meet their families and destroying them before their eyes, so there is no need to say more about their viciousness..
···That's the assessment of the National Defense Bureau's hunters, but in my opinion, he's a scoundrel who only targets the weak..
“Work hard to catch the golden goblin.”
Now is the chance to level up in real life.
With my clairvoyance, I can see where Yunhee is..
A hunting team exhausted from fierce battles. And the dolls that attacked.
A fierce battle takes place while surrounded by a large number of people. This is the perfect situation for your potential to bloom..
I pulled the accelerator of my motorcycle while watching the battle scene..
* * *
It was some time later that Lee Se-hee, who had formed a reserve unit to prepare for the threat of Berserker and Puppeteer, heard the news of Kim Young-hwan's death..
Not long after that, when news came that a puppet master was attacking a hunting team in southern Gyeonggi Province, a rescue team was immediately formed..
There are a total of three teams currently on the hunt. Lee Se-hee divided her forces to save the three teams..
The puppeteer's goal would be the bodies of talented hunters. I expected that there might be an attack, but the number of dolls mobilized was greater than expected..
Lee Se-hee changed her strategy to rescue the hunting team rather than defeat the puppeteer. The problem was the number of people flocking to the three teams. Deciding he had to take action himself, he requested additional support from headquarters..
As Lee Se-hee's worries deepened, the driver's voice was heard in her ears..
“Team leader, there is a motorcycle coming from behind..”
“Is this our guild??”
“no. But the speed seems to be over 200km, so be careful... crazy!”
The driver swore as he saw the motorcycle narrowly passing by. But Lee Se-hee could not agree with those words. Although it was only for a moment, I saw the face of the motorcyclist..
“That is······.”
It is definitely Choi Jun-ho. And the place he is heading to is where team 3 is being attacked. I'm going to save Choi Yun-hee..
Suddenly my worries disappeared like melting snow..
After assessing the situation, Lee Se-hee raised her voice..
“Follow that motorcycle!”
“yes? Ah, yes!”
And Lee Se-hee divided the power heading towards where Team 3 was located into Team 1 and Team 2..
If the total number of forces going to rescue is 10, then 5 each are sent to where teams 1 and 2 are, and only you are going to where team 3 is..
Lee Young-tan, deputy general manager of operations, who was riding in the passenger seat, expressed concern..
Puppeteers are called immortals, but when they mobilize all the puppets under their command, their number approaches that of a medium-sized guild..
“Team leader, if we distribute our power like this, we may be able to help teams 1 and 2 escape, but it will be difficult for team 3. There are the most dolls there right now.······.”
“are you okay.”
If she hadn't seen Choi Jun-ho a moment ago, Lee Se-hee would have agreed with Lee Young-tan. But now that he's gone, things have changed..
“The team with the highest chance of survival right now is team 3..”
At that moment, Lee Se-hee saw. The image of Choi Jun-ho on the motorcycle disappeared like a ghost..
* * *
“······.”
Choi Yun-hee clenched her teeth. She had heard countless times that hunting teams could be dangerous, but she never thought it would come to this..
I know that it is the hunter's fate to be attacked by a villain. But since the opponent was a puppeteer, the difficulty level suddenly became too high..
“There are so many of them.”
As soon as she saw the doll army approaching, Choi Yun-hee turned on the location tracker she had received from her brother and sent a request for support to the guild reserve unit. She doesn't know how long it will be before she gets there, but all she has to do is hold on..
It was creepy, but the puppeteer was watching him. Choi Yun-hee, who judged that even that was an element to be exploited, consistently crouched and held on while minimizing her stamina consumption along with her colleagues..
I had no idea how many numbers the puppeteer could mobilize. Even though they were knocked down and knocked down, their numbers did not decrease but rather increased. The moment I saw it was over two hundred, I gave up counting..
When I was in extreme danger, I remembered how my brother tried to kill me..
I didn't understand at the time, but now I understand why they did it..
My mind was a mess and my body was tired, but it moved on its own..
Could it be that he knew he would be in this situation? So I also gave them a location tracker.?
So, did you think you could overcome this situation? It felt like that guy was watching me struggle to die right now..
When I remembered all the things I had been through, I suddenly felt jealous..
“You guys know how hard I pushed?”
Is it because it reminds me of the experience of being bullied by my older brother? This situation, which felt hopeless, felt funny..
If that bastard had been a puppeteer, it would have been even more vicious. She probably threw away the expendable dolls and destroyed the camp first. Then, she would have sent puppets into the collapsed ranks, splitting off her team members one by one and defeating them individually..
It's like a party being completely destroyed by a horde of zombies..
Maybe that person will spit on the doll or throw dirt at it?.
Wensu, disguised as his brother, did all kinds of mean things to himself, saying that villains would get away with that..
He is a man who poses like a dog while telling us to prepare for monsters..
In comparison, the puppeteer's methods were boring..
-I'm on my way. Hang in there just a little while. And Junho is going too..
A power that was not present in Lee Se-hee's radio also appeared. My brother is coming? Then the puppeteer is also in the same room..
Rather, I felt sorry for the puppet master. That person won't just let go..
“Ugh!”
My pity was total, and as soon as I was threatened by the doll, any pity disappeared..
Choi Yun-hee was concentrating on the movements of the dolls and saw a doll with superior hardware than other dolls running towards her..
“Be careful Uncle Cheolmin!”
puck!
“Wow!”
The chest armor of hunting team tanker Ki Cheol-min was dented and blood spurted from his mouth. An experienced tanker and hunting team leader, he was a level 5 fighter, but was helpless against the doll's onslaught..
“mister! are you okay?”
“I'm fine... Rather, it's Jeong Hae-sol. Don't confront me head on.”
“If it's Jeong Hae-sol······.”
He was once one of the most talented fighters in the avant-garde and was rated as level 7. Lee Myung was a person who led the hunting team with charisma and led by example. He was someone everyone in the guild respected and liked. Choi Yun-hee was a famous hunter who had also heard of her name..
A person who shined so brightly is now a puppeteer's servant..
Goosebumps spread all over my body when I thought that I too could become like that..
“Ugh!”
Although it only revealed a gap for a moment, the doll's fist dug in exquisitely and struck Ki Cheol-min's shield. The shield that had withstood the monster's onslaught shattered, and Ki Cheol-min, who was thrown far away, seemed to have lost consciousness and did not move anymore..
Jeong Hae-sol's face becomes grotesquely distorted. It's a laugh.
Immediately afterwards, an eerie, cracked voice came out..
“Is this the end? Then I think you'll be disappointed. Giggling! Is it really over? huh?”
“What do you say, come at me!”
Okay, anyway, on the topic of dolls..
Choi Yun-hee widened her eyes and strengthened the hand holding the sword..
The puppeteer used expendable dolls to attack the team's camp using Jeong Hae Solo's team..
Swing, stab, then roll and throw.
I fought desperately, but fell one by one..
Choi Yun-hee stayed until the end and held on for 20 rounds, but it wasn't enough. Her stamina was quickly depleted, and sweet smells came out of her mouth..
“It's so bad.”
My grip became weak and I even lost my sword. I have to struggle with my fist or my sword..
But don’t you usually despair in situations like this?.
Seeing herself fine in a dark situation, Choi Yun-hee thought that she was not normal either..
Jeong Hae-sol let out a terrible laugh full of joy..
“I finally got it, giggle giggle.!”
“die!”
Choi Yun-hee, mustering her last strength, kicked a vital point. She felt a popping sensation in her toes, but her doll didn't stop moving..
Is it possible to get caught like this? I'll struggle a little harder.
When Jeong Hae-sol's hand was about to touch her shoulder, Choi Yun-hee closed her eyes tightly as she saw the light emanating from the bracelet she was wearing..
bang!
What Choi Yoon-hee saw when she opened her eyes was her brother's incredibly reliable back..
Jeong Hae-sol, who had shown absolute inaction until a little while ago, was thrown out..
The face that was usually so obnoxious felt particularly welcoming..
“brother!”
“It held up pretty well. Have you gained some experience??”
Choi Jun-ho curled up the corner of his mouth towards Choi Yun-hee, who had tears in her eyes..
* * *
Yunhee was very tired. But I fought a lot better than I thought..
He is a newbie who became an official hunter less than 3 months ago. We've hunted monsters and fought fierce battles, so it's acceptable to stand still like this..
The 30 minutes I spent dealing with the doll was probably the longest time in my life. However, it would have been the most valuable 30 minutes in the awakened person's life. Because it is rare to have the opportunity to gain this much experience without a major threat to your life..
As expected, Yunhee is talented. I need to roll further in the future.
Now it's my turn.
The gift you just activated is a transfer, allowing you to move to the location where the object containing your force is located. Travel distance is less than 3km. It is a gift that can be used as an object between people, so it can be used as a useful means of escape, but it is a gift that I could not use well because I had no one to trust..
It would have been better if there were no restrictions on use like Blink I saw before. The biggest drawback of transfer was that it consumed extreme force. Originally, once the person with this gift activated transference, he would be sick for two days due to force depletion. Space movement gifts were severely restricted in this way..
Of course, force consumption has nothing to do with me..
“Sigh, sleep. When you wake up, it will all be over.”
“huh. I'm a little tired. But brother, it can't be true?”
“what?”
“It appeared after everyone was watching. No?”
Instead of answering, I just smiled.
“You worked hard, take a break.”
“···Please answer me later. But I did well?”
“He was good at it.”
“thank god.”
Yunhee smiled slightly and fell asleep..
I erased the smile I had painted to reassure him..
“······.”
He left Yunhee lying down and stood up, reaching for the sword rolling on the floor. I felt the cold touch of her handle. I said I would use the Puppeteer's Attack as an experience level up, but I didn't feel very comfortable..
No, honestly, I was feverish..
Because you should have seen your brother threatened throughout the battle. She watched as Yoon-hee gained her experience, but she couldn't help but smile at the sight..
So, I plan to kill the guy who touched my brother right here and there..
I raised my sword and activated the slash gift. An enormous amount of blood-red force erupted from the tip of the sword and swept the surrounding area like a tsunami..
At that moment, the world turned blood red..
······!!!
Patter! patter!
More than two hundred dolls swept away by the force tsunami fell with their upper and lower bodies separated..
The only doll standing still is Jeong Hae-sol..
I looked into the doll's eyes.
I felt the presence of a puppet master beyond..
“that you are immortal?”
