The crazy villain regains his sanity - Episode 257

257fury

As I chased after Draculea, I realized it again..

It's impossible to chase after a monster that runs away..

Originally, this part was not a cause for concern. Monsters that follow their instincts often hit them head-on without running away until they are in disgrace, and even if they get scared and try to run away later, they are easily caught because they are seriously injured..

However, when they reach the level of fighting skills, they develop to a level where they can think, and they have the intelligence to run away when they are at a disadvantage. In this case, I have to chase it and eliminate it, but I can't chase it at my own speed..

[let's go!]

I was able to keep my distance thanks to Yongyong, but I can't rely on him forever..

I solved the issue of damage through force refining, but I never thought this would be a problem..

It's hard to catch up with transfers, so I'll have to think about how to improve this area..

It feels like once one thing is resolved, something else appears that needs to be overcome..

Due to the lack of long-distance attacks, it became possible to kill enemies without chasing them one by one by sniping, and with Force refinement, it became possible to hit the horned monster, and now there was a need to catch up with the running speed..

The method of chasing Drekulea was that I would follow behind, and when the distance widened, Yongyong would narrow it by moving in space..

It was possible to maintain a certain distance due to the ability to move freely in space..

The place we arrived was not land, but the sea, the Black Sea..

[uh?]

“what's the matter?”

I also felt puzzled by Yongyong’s strange reaction..

[I'm trying something!]

“trial?”

As I fixed my gaze ahead, I could sense a strange current of power. At the same time, Draculea's flight speed, which was flying fast, was gradually decreasing..

This is the Black Sea, where there is nothing to be found. What on earth is that guy trying to use in a place where no one is around?.

There are more than one strange thing.

[It's a space-type ability.!]

“Please move this guy forward..”

[okay.]

The moment Yongyong brought me in front of Draculea, a huge space crack appeared in front of him..

kieek!

The guy who saw me got scared and screamed. At the same time, a crack in space swallowed him up. I hurriedly stretched out my hand, but I only managed to tear off part of his skin, and he disappeared without a trace beyond the space rift..

After seeing this, I decided I had missed it. His vague presence was connected to the piece of leather I had taken..

“Goes.”

[huh.]

I followed his traces and immediately cast transference. After moving beyond the space rift, I was able to confirm that I had arrived in a cavity covered in pitch black darkness on all sides..

Is it a space located under the sea? Where are we??

[I don't know either. I'll figure it out. It's not far from where I first moved..]

Then somewhere in the Black Sea.

As I looked around, I sensed Draculea's energy. was out there.

however.

“What are you doing??”

Draculea's vital response was weaker than at first. Are your injuries so severe that your life is in danger? It was moving well enough for that..

there is something.

First of all, this space was also strange..

Transference did not activate properly. If it had been activated properly, I would have arrived in front of him..

[It feels familiar. But it's so faint that it's hard to see in detail..]

Yongyong said that something familiar distorted my transfer results. Then I'm not alone in my delusion..

I walked through the cavity. The space I was currently walking through was covered in thick darkness, but as I moved forward, faint light was coming in..

There will be Draculea ahead. What had not been caught by my senses at first slowly returned to its original position and I sensed a presence in front of me..

But the strange thing is.

There are two?

[Two?]

I agreed to Yongyong’s question. One is Draculea's and I'm not sure what the other is. It feels a bit calm to say it belongs to a monster. It seemed similar to Yongyong, but it was too weak..

When I finally reached the end of the aisle, I was greeted by another joint..

There was Draculea, whose injuries were not fully healed. She was curled up with her eyes closed and her wings wrapped around her body, as if she had fallen asleep..

And in front of it…….

“huh?”

There was something huge that could not even be compared to Draculea. At first I thought it was a rock. But as I looked at the faintly radiating vitality, I realized it was a living thing..

Yongyong's reaction upon discovering its existence was fierce..

[Hey, what is this! you, who are you!]

Draculea did not respond to Yongyong's shout, but the gigantic being did. The eyes of the being whose closed eyelids were opened were those of a gold-colored reptile. And when I looked at the entire fuselage, I was able to figure out what it was..

“Dragon?”

[I didn't know humans would come here. And that too with my own people..]

cognation?

[This is Shinsoo!]

I gained confidence in Yongyong’s words. The fuselage, which was visible at least 200 meters in length, was suitable to be seen as a new beast, but the response was weaker than expected..

I think I'll die if I hit him once.?

“Why is Shinsoo so upset??”

[flaw!]

At my words, the dragon's mouth curled up and smiled..

Even for a moment, it soon turned into something creepy and started pouring out on me..

[It's you. The guy who ruined my plan to punish the traitor.!]

Even though I was on the verge of death, the pressure of existence itself was intense..

He tried to suppress it with the presence of the bell, but.

To me, it's just clumsy pressure. Everyone dies if their head is broken, so there is no reason to be afraid of a divine beast..

I lightly repelled the guy's momentum..

“It's annoyingly buzzing.”

I could have smashed his head right away, but the reason I didn't use my hands was not out of respect for the troublemaker, but out of a little curiosity. Draculea also stayed still..

“But what do you mean by traitor??”

[If it wasn't for that guy…….]

He expressed his anger again at my words. Yongyong, who was watching the scene, hastily stopped him..

[Stop, stop! Then you disappear!]

[Heh, thank you. If I had a friend like you, I could have avoided destruction..]

[What on earth happened? tell me.]

[It's a story with nothing special. It's a story about a guy who betrayed his friend and a fool who was betrayed..]

The dragon began to confess what had happened in the past as if he was complaining..

*       *       *

After the appearance of monsters, two divine beasts began to form beings in close proximity in Eastern Europe. The two have been aware of each other for a long time, and have been together for a long time, sometimes as collaborators and sometimes as competitors. And after the appearance of the monster, a cooperative system took shape..

[He and I each established our own territory. I wasn't interested in human gaze. I thought it would be enough as long as we didn't get disturbed in our own territory..]

But that was just Dragon's illusion..

What came back was a cruel betrayal. As a result, the dragon lost all its essence and had no choice but to escape here..

Losing its essence meant that it could not exist as a Shinsu. The dragon was angry at this situation that befell him..

[All he wants to do is burn everything he holds dear. But I don't have the strength to do that. So I created a tool that will burn everything down for me..]

That is how Draculea was born. The dragon was convinced that if the monster Draculea came forward, he would have no choice but to watch his territory burn without being able to show himself..

The prediction was correct, as central, northern and eastern Romania were not seen while they were burning..

Now that I think about it, is there a reason why Shinsu doesn't want to show himself in front of humans??

The dragon's golden eyes sparkled at my question..

[Hmm, I guess you're curious. Didn't you know that while you were taking Shinsu with you? Shinsoo was originally in the world…….]

[for a moment!]

Yongyong interrupted what the dragon was trying to say. It seems quite urgent, but is there some kind of restriction? I felt puzzled, but the dragon didn't say anything more..

It seemed like important information, but it turned out to be unfortunate..

I hoped he would say more because of his stubbornness, but he didn't say anything more because of what Yongyong had done..

It's a shame.

“So, I guess revenge failed..”

[Human, if it weren't for you, my plan would have succeeded..]

“but.”

[Now that I've explained the whole story, step away..]

A dragon who speaks as if it were obvious.

I made eye contact with him and gave him a puzzled look. Did he really think that if he told me about his shitty past, I would sympathize and walk away?.

“why me?”

I only expressed my thoughts, but it was conveyed that I was being brutally killed. Either way, I have no reason to step down. There is no reason to let go of all the captured monsters.?

[Are you saying you just won't step down? Then how about this? I can give you a reward.]

“What are you going to give me??”

[what do you want?]

I pointed to Draculea..

“It would be nice to have his corpse..”

[Say that now…….]

“I don't like it if it's not that one.”

[I'll give you something else.]

“That's enough. I want that guy and your eyeballs too..”

[uh? for a moment!]

Anyway, even though he was a Shinsu, he was just a shell of a person. I approached the dragon without any hesitation. Until then, the dragon couldn't even react. The eyes that chase after me only contain emotions..

I heard Yongyong trying to stop me from behind, but I didn't care and kept my hand..

Kwasik!

The dragon's head shattered like a rotten twig. The light disappeared from the golden eyes and the eyelids closed..

I guess I'm going to die soon. A guy who can barely breathe is talking smugly..

I didn't stop there and rushed towards Draculea who was trying to react. Perhaps because she was under the dragon's control, she couldn't react as if there was a momentary lag, and when my attack, which activated force smelting on her mine, hit her head one after another, her brain shattered like a watermelon..

Kieeeeek…….

Leaving behind the faint sound of crying, I plunged my hand into Draculea's heart and tasted the blood..

Except for [Vampirism], which quickly recovers stamina, and [Ultrasound], which causes confusion, all of them were garbage. Blood sucking was meaningless, and after thinking about ultrasound for a while, I gave up. I didn't think I would freely use something I couldn't hear..

“It got easier because of that stupid guy..”

[…….]

“why?”

[I had to kill it?]

“What if I don’t kill him? Do you think the guy who is obsessed with revenge will be persuaded and come back to his good self??”

[That must be difficult. Still, I wanted to talk more and get some information.…….]

“Important information wouldn't have come out anyway..”

The dragon's words were enough to stimulate my curiosity, but while listening to him, I focused on Draculea's condition. And as a strange current arose, I realized that it was recovering Draculea..

Even though we met as enemies, we had a lot of conversation at this level. The dragon was looking for an opportunity with a play on words, and I just saw through it and gave him the end..

“Let's go now.”

[…….]

“Are you upset??”

[no. It's not like that.]

Even so, he seemed to be thinking a lot. Well, I don't care about that..

This is a twisted space, so as long as the dragon is dead, it will soon return to its original state. Then you can take Draculea's body with you..

“I’m craving that one too..”

I fixed my eyes on the dragon's corpse. I didn't feel alive from the start, but I guess I can still carry it out.?

But when I touched it, as if to laugh at my thoughts, the dragon's body began to collapse like a sand castle..

In the place where everything was destroyed, a spot of light the size of a small candle was fluttering. Even that disappeared as if it had been hit directly by the wind..

There was just enough strength left to take its own form. I could see how crazy he was about revenge..

Although I was curious about who the target was, I decided not to bother looking for it. If he is as ambitious as a thunderbird, he will meet one day..

“let's go.”

[okay.]

I took the body of Draculea and left the twisted space with Yongyong..
