The crazy villain regains his sanity - Episode 261
261fury
The story of Choi Jun-ho's guidance reminded Ahmed a lot. He was someone I had kept an eye on since my first civil servant hunter days..
A person who is passive and maintains his beliefs in a position where he can overcome injustice. The results he achieved were extraordinary, and dealing with the Awakened was a shock..
Not long after, he became a superman and won the title of the world's strongest. As Ahmed watched his achievements, he thought he had never seen a more brilliant superman..
“I received the teachings of the world's greatest superhuman..”
“It is clear that he had a good opinion of His Majesty the King..”
Ahmed smiled at Nasir’s words. Although he is the king of Saudi Arabia, who claims to be the leader of the Middle East, Choi Jun-ho's recognition as the world's strongest man as a superman was special..
“thank god. I thought he might be viewed negatively because he was a king..”
“Rather, I was worried that His Majesty the King might be uncomfortable. Head Breaker seemed too comfortable with you. Are you okay with it??”
“of course. he deserves it.”
It is no exaggeration to say that Choi Jun-ho's existence is the most noble thing in the world to humanity suffering from the threat of monsters. Didn't even the Plus Plus level monster that was supposed to destroy Europe fall by his hands?.
Ahmed wanted to follow in his footsteps and gain power comparable to his..
So he invited countless adepts and interacted with them. I still have many shortcomings, but I thought I would grow step by step and become a superhuman of equal or comparable level..
“Let's learn as much as we can.”
“Your Highness, you can bring everything from Head Breaker..”
I know it's lip service, but it was a powerful statement for Ahmed..
He has been evaluated as a genius talent since childhood, and has shown such progress through achievements. It is because of this power that he ascended to the position of king..
Ahmed entered the King's exclusive training room and faced Choi Jun-ho. The escort offered to follow, but Ahmed refused. If Choi Jun-ho puts his mind to it, getting rid of them wouldn't be a problem..
Once you have shown favor, you should not attach a reason for it. I thought that the purity of goodwill was the driving force that would sustain a good relationship..
Even though Choi Jun-ho, who was in the training room, did not feel any force, a feeling of intimidation was radiating that pressured his whole body..
It was like the unique energy radiated by Choi Jun-ho. Ahmed, who had already received guidance from several superhumans, felt his expectations growing about what Choi Jun-ho's method would be like..
While I was lightly warming up, Choi Jun-ho asked:.
“How is Desert Nightmare rated??”
“I think it's at the plus plus stage..”
“That won't be it.”
“If not?”
“The two-horned stage has full-fledged intelligence. If it had reached that stage, it would not have stayed in the desert and would have appeared to destroy the city in earnest..”
The nightmare of the desert is not just a monster that causes fear in Saudi Arabia. Starting with Jordan, Iraq, and Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Yemen all had to suffer from the nightmare of the desert..
In places with small territories, we concentrated our efforts to stop them, but in places with large territories like Saudi Arabia, we suffered fatal damage while defending multiple areas..
Ahmed and other Middle Eastern countries saw the desert nightmare as an unofficial plus plus phase..
But it's not the plus plus stage.?
“If not at that stage.”
“It looks like a plus step. And that stage of monster hunting is not that difficult.”
“Huh.”
It was a perspective I had never thought of. A monster that strong is a plus level.?
No plus level monsters have yet appeared in Saudi Arabia. However, as someone who has hunted level 8 remains, I thought the plus level was also worth a try..
I wanted to object, but looking at the actions of the plus-plus level monsters that had appeared so far, there was a high probability that Choi Jun-ho was right..
“The inability to exert full power in the harsh environment of the desert may have led to overestimation of the monster's strength. Have you ever chased a guy to the end??”
“…doesn't exist.”
“I thought so.”
Choi Jun-ho’s words were painful. Did he avoid and fear only his appearance? He thought he could sacrifice his life to hunt down monsters. I was embarrassed.
“Let’s take a look at your skills.”
The moment I've been waiting for has finally arrived. For a moment, Ahmed felt his entire body begin to feel embarrassed..
“My teaching style is to ingrain strength into your body..”
“on the body?”
“Stay alert and try to stop it.”
“what is that…….”
But I couldn't finish my sentence. It seemed like stars were twinkling before her eyes, and then intense pain spread through her body..
Ahmed rolled over without even having time to scream. Flash! As the light arose, the floor of the training room cracked. If I had been a little late, my body would have been cut in two..
I managed to avoid the attack, but I was unable to counterattack. When he got up, he fell again and had to roll around without even having a chance to catch his breath..
This is a phenomenon I have never experienced since becoming an awakened person. She reached out, instantly feeling her breath becoming heavier. It was the first counterattack attempted, but it was shattered by Choi Jun-ho's hands before the force could move forward..
Rather, Choi Jun-ho appeared in front of him..
“also.”
He clicked his tongue lightly and stretched out his hand, and Ahmed, who had been hit by a mine and broke his arm, retreated in pain. Choi Jun-ho's hands were unstoppable..
Choi Jun-ho's attack was like a ghost. He went beyond the allowed movements of humans and mercilessly exploited his own gaps. Even if I tried to stop it, I was clearly shown to be helpless and unable to do anything..
Are you saying you were this helpless? Ahmed was shocked as he watched himself being repeatedly attacked by Choi Jun-ho without being able to do anything..
What followed was shocking..
“It's not really strong either. Are you a fashion superhuman?.”
“fashion superman…….”
Ahmed's expression crumpled as he felt insulted..
* * *
The strength of a superhuman is literally subjective. If you meet certain standards, you can be called a superhuman, but in the process, there are countless superhumans who do not meet the level..
King Ahmed was one of them. He has built up his skills through innate talent, and considering the total amount of his power, he can easily be called a superman..
However, he lacked practical experience and how to utilize his own strength. If you face off against another superhuman, you may be equal at first, but you will not be able to hold out for long and will collapse..
You probably don't have much hunting experience..
A superhuman who is not good at arresting villains or hunting monsters..
I call these super people fashion super people..
If you are dissatisfied, try proving your skills. But the result was that I fainted without even trying anything. This must have made you shiver, thinking it was a nightmare in the desert..
I briefly summarized about King Ahmed..
“Hmm, I can't hunt in this condition..”
“No, I don't understand that..”
Ahmed staggered to his feet. His eyes were shining brightly. Is it pride as a royal??
All of that is useless when hunting monsters and arresting villains, but it's enough to give you motivation to train hard..
“I know that everyone was taking care of my situation because they said I was royal. But what I've been doing is sincere.”
He said that both the will to hunt monsters and the will to become stronger are true..
What filled my eyes was a strong will..
It's not the king's playhouse..
“Please help me, friend..”
“If you say that much, I understand..”
Because human modification is my specialty. We decided to listen to Ahmed's will..
[But it's very favorable?]
I guess it seemed that way to Yongyong’s eyes..
No, there's no need to deny that..
The reason I granted King Ahmed's wish was simple. Because you did me a favor first. And since they decided to sell the oil cheaply, it would be perfect for Yongyong to pull out his claws and try it out..
Above all, it is a good place to understand the situation in Europe..
[I'm really trying to rip out my toenails?]
How can I pull out the claws of the great divine beast?.
Shinsu, a good friend who likes me, gave it to me ‘voluntarily’..
[Ah-oh.]
Judging from Yongyong’s attitude, getting his claws would be easy..
Anyway, the reason I treat Ahmed favorably is because it helps me both as a person and for my personal benefit..
You're trying not to get on my nerves, so there's no reason to be hostile..
“From now on, I will start working on throwing away the bad things I have as a fashion superman..”
“How do you mean?”
“Survive. If you survive, all your bad habits will disappear..”
Of course, I will do my best not to kill myself. I smiled at Ahmed, who was feeling anxious..
* * *
“Umm.”
It was a terrible nightmare. As Ahmed moaned, he remembered what he had been through..
I thought I did my best to develop my skills as a member of the royal family and as a king. However, I learned why he said that during the sparring under Choi Jun-ho's guidance..
What you have built up is a lie. She realized how futile and vain she thought she was as a good superhuman..
Because I'm a fashion genius.
The destructive power of that word was truly powerful..
Nasir approached with a worried look on his face..
“His Majesty the King! Are you okay??”
“There's no way it's okay.”
“Choi Jun-ho's superhuman attitude was too harsh..”
“Is it severe?.”
“Yes, it was severe. Even if it's not this way, it's a good enough way…….”
“no.”
Ahmed flatly denied it..
If Choi Jun-ho hadn't shocked me like this, would I have accepted it??
Because I was thoroughly impressed with my skills, I found this method to be the most efficient..
I am weak. From Choi Jun-ho's perspective, it would be nothing more than a trivial level. So he had to throw away unnecessary and bad things. Choi Jun-ho was gracious..
Nasir didn't see the training, but he looked worried..
“How about giving up now??”
“That can't be possible.”
Even though he felt like giving up, Ahmed strengthened his resolve after listening to Nasir's words..
If you give up because you're not good enough or afraid, you'll have no choice but to stay in that position forever..
Even Choi Jun-ho, who taught him, would not want that..
“Head Breaker fills in what I am lacking. This will be of great help to our future hunting direction. I will learn as much as I can from him..”
Nasir's face was filled with emotion at the determination and nobility..
“I will do everything I can for His Majesty the King.!”
“believe it.”
Although he was successful in impressing his closest associates, to be honest, Ahmed's arms and legs were shaking..
Choi Jun-ho's training method of directly injecting food into the body to maximize survival instincts was hell itself. Now I can understand why the superhuman Berserker who went with him has grown so much in such a short period of time..
‘How on earth did you survive?.’
Just being next to him for a long time made me think again about the monster called Berserker..
I thought he was a villain but he was a talented superhuman..
Maybe it's stronger than what's known to the outside world..
The one week that Choi Jun-ho agreed to take care of right now feels like an eternity..
That's what a week meant to Ahmed. However, what is clear is that the speed of skill development is so fast that you can feel it as each day passes..
As I rolled around to avoid Choi Jun-ho's cruel hands, I realized what 'instilling skills' meant..
A week passed like that..
“It would have been clear if there had been a little more time, but it's a shame..”
“Ugh, uhm.”
“Why are you doing that??”
“This is enough.”
“is it so? I feel a bit disappointed.”
Those words made me break into a cold sweat. Especially when I was wondering whether I should take more time, I almost tried to stop him..
“Still, your basic skills are sufficient, so if you don't develop bad habits again, you will be able to hunt plus level monsters..”
“Since you have a great teacher, you can definitely do this..”
If you develop bad habits, that will never happen..
The voice of promise made me become more determined without even realizing it..
“Let's go end the nightmare.”
Ahmed led the elite awakened people to the desert to achieve his greatest achievement as king..
The scale was significantly smaller than the original monster hunting scale, and the reason was due to Choi Jun-ho's advice..
They accepted the saying that it would do its job well if it consisted mainly of awakened people who were at least level 6. And Ahmed had the confidence to hunt.
It was right after receiving guidance from none other than Choi Jun-ho. As much as he said it was possible, the Desert Nightmare, which is a plus level, will not be in the watermelon to announce the end..
Ahmed looked around at the awakened people he had brought along for the hunt. The number is thirty. They were levels 7 and 6, and it was no exaggeration to say that they were the entire power of Saudi Arabia..
These are people who were willing to stay for their country and family even in a chaotic situation with monsters..
We will hunt down the nightmare of the desert and regain our former glory once again..
“listen to everyone!”
Eyes gather. Ahmed looked around at his trusted subordinates and shouted..
“Meanwhile, we were afraid of that monster and thought of it as a god, an insurmountable obstacle..”
From then on, I thought that the nightmare of the desert was a disaster that could not be overcome. So, some tribes living in the desert believed that the nightmare attack of the desert was a revelation from God and meekly accepted their fate..
Because it's an opponent you can't compete with. It was easier to give up and conform than to live in fear every moment..
But it is neither a revelation nor a teaching from God. He was just a desperate person who let go of everything without the courage to fight back..
“There is nothing in this world that cannot be overcome. Look at what has appeared in China and Europe! Everyone in the world said that the world would be destroyed by monsters..”
But the result was a hunting success.
I hunted down a monster that was said to be impossible to fight with the power of mankind..
The sight gave me hope that I could make it..
“That person is my close friend and gave me strength. My friend told me that with our own strength we can overcome the nightmare of the desert..”
it was an amazing experience.
I felt like I could hunt down the desert nightmare just because Choi Jun-ho said it..
This is not due to false confidence, but due to the strength he has accumulated over the years and the guidance of Choi Jun-ho..
Ahmed shouted, lifting the knife in his hand..
“Today the desert nightmare will end!”
Wow!
Although the number was small, thunderous shouts shook the desert..
* * *
The hunting team led by Ahmed set out in earnest to search for the nightmare of the desert..
The Arabian Desert is better described as vast rather than wide, but this place, their territory and home, was as clear as their front yard..
They skillfully entered the desert and began searching..
Choi Jun-ho came up next to me and asked..
“Has the desert nightmare made this desert its home??”
“This entire desert is its territory, playground, and hunting ground..”
“It's a hunting ground.”
“The desert nightmare has had an impact not only on us but everywhere that touches the desert..”
Saudi Arabia, whose territory is mostly covered by the Arabian Desert, was the biggest victim..
“Because they monopolize the hunting ground.”
Choi Jun-ho's expression was quite serious..
Ahmed noticed something strange and asked.
“Even if it's strange?”
“no, nothing.”
After that, Choi Jun-ho didn't say anything and the search proceeded quickly. And he began to move there after receiving a report that he had found a trace.
Soon, traces of the desert nightmare were revealed..
The area where nomads once lived was buried in the sand, leaving only faint traces. The sound of screams seemed to come from the blood splattered everywhere..
Ahmed clenched his teeth..
“If only it were a little faster…….”
At that time, someone shouted as if screaming.
“appeared!”
At those words, the tension began to rise rapidly. Ahmed grabbed his gear and went forward. He didn't show it on the outside, but cold sweat was forming on his hands. Choi Jun-ho, who came next to him, said.
“Just do what you trained. It's an enemy you can deal with..”
A smile appeared on Ahmed's face, which had been stiff from tension..
“The only people who know my condition well are my close friends. I will do my best.”
Ahmed, who finally came to the front, showed appropriate tension and confidence on his face. This is my first time feeling like this before dealing with a monster. You are dealing with no other opponent but the nightmare of the desert. I felt like I could really do it..
The presence of the monster in the distance began to grow little by little. What was small at first quickly expanded like a snowball and covered the desert..
Shoot ahhh!
“Everyone bow down!”
The desert sand cracked and poured down like rain. Ahmed clenched his teeth and swung his shield to block the sandstorm..
A huge body revealed through the gap.
Ahmed, who realized that it was a desert nightmare, took the lead and swung his sword..
Wow!
I swung my sword almost simultaneously, bouncing off something sticking out of the sand. But she bounced away without being able to cut it..
“Pfft!”
Ahmed, who was pushed back in shock, gritted his teeth and charged again. He tried to cut through the body of the desert nightmare, wading through sand pouring in from all directions..
These are the words of the world's strongest superman, not anyone else. He said he could hunt, so he just did it..
With the help of his men who reorganized their battle lines, Ahmed encountered the nightmare of the desert several times. Although his attack failed to land a blow on the Desert Nightmare, he gained confidence that he could do it just by trading offense and defense..
It was time for Ahmed to move forward with more confidence..
“for a moment.”
Choi Jun-ho, who was watching from behind, blocked it..
A look filled with puzzlement fell on him..
“I was mistaken..”
“what do you mean?”
“That'll be hard to hunt..”
Choi Jun-ho shook his head..
“That guy is on the verge of turning into a hornet..”
“……!”
Ahmed as well as the gathered awakened people were shocked..
The desert nightmare they were dealing with was at the plus plus level.?
“I'll take care of it..”
Choi Jun-ho, who left those words, entered through the sandstorm and entered..
Soon, a loud roar began to echo throughout the desert. If the battle that took place just a moment ago was like a child's play, now it was an all-out war in which all of one's might was mobilized..
Ahmed and his subordinates who remained were standing awkwardly..
“Uh, um.”
Ahmed, who was giving a speech to his subordinates and exuding a determined spirit, cleared his throat and spoke..
“we step back.”
The atmosphere surrounding them as they walked away from where the battle took place was very awkward..
