The crazy villain regains his mind - Episode 397
397fury
I moved in sync with the movements of the man-eating giant, Windigo..
7You might think that the movements of a large man over 100 m tall with bulging muscles like a balloon would be slow, but the movement of swinging the glaive towards me was as fast and powerful as lightning..
An attack that was enough to tear the surroundings apart in its aftermath was not something humans could endure..
Except me.
No matter how powerful it is, there is no way the aftereffects are stronger than high-speed flight..
Above all, the attack route was very honest..
I said, having gained some understanding as Windigo's attack cut through the air dozens of times..
“This must have been enough for now.”
[what?]
“I'll be disappointed if this is the end..”
[This guy deserves to warm up after a long time. He didn't know he was human.]
The veins in Windigo's muscles began to bristle. At the same time, the explosive momentum spread like a howl and dominated the surrounding space..
Paat!
It was the same movement as before, but the power and speed were on a different level..
[The most powerful things come from the simplest things.]
The spot where the light split was left with a deep furrow, as if it had been torn in two..
It was so long that there was no end in sight, so if it had been hit, not even dust would have been left behind..
“oh.”
I was quite impressed by this too. Even though it didn't hit me,.
The most powerful things are simple, so this was very much in line with what I thought..
The more complicated it is, the more difficult it is to write properly..
I wanted to keep in mind Windigo's method of saying that naturally..
“This is the end?”
[Let's see how long we can hold out, human..]
“Have fun with it.”
From the giant's eyes, a breathtaking force exploded and rushed towards me just by living..
* * *
Windigo was definitely strong.
If I had to divide the scale of its strength, it would have been a battle of whistles with the Thunderbird that fought me..
While the Thunderbird uses high-speed flight to swarm the enemy, the Windigo is the type that tears everything apart while keeping it under its own territory..
It was difficult for each side to enter each other's territory, so even if a confrontation occurred, it was difficult to establish a confrontation..
Because each person has a distinct personality and it is difficult to win, the gods do not compete against each other..
Anyway, Shinsu, who was at a similar level to Thunderbird, was an excellent sparring partner..
Actually, I expected this from Akeri..
However, a guy armed with poison and disease could not proactively come out and fulfill his wishes just because he had someone to talk to..
What I wanted to see was the process of manifesting the power of the Divine Beast..
After learning the Hell Master's instant death technique, I realized that his gift came from authority, and I have always wanted to know the difference between authority and gift..
There is also high-speed flight, but this was not helpful as it was accepted as the original form of power..
In the end, only the power expressed by other divine beasts could serve as proper reference material..
And the power that is implicitly revealed as Windigo goes on a rampage serves as an excellent reference material..
“As expected, is it like this?.”
[Hehehe! Are there any more humans?!]
“If you stop here it will be disappointing, try harder.”
I think the difference between power and gift is whether it is natural or artificial..
The divine beast naturally expresses its power as if it were breathing. On the contrary, when humans express their gifts, there is a subtle awkwardness, as if handling tools..
It's the difference between what you have from birth and what you don't..
In addition, the powerful body that no human can match and the mental power accumulated over time have widened the gap between power and gift beyond control..
but.
As far as I could see, that was it..
The divine beasts had the ability to handle power as naturally as breathing, but there were no ones who developed it beyond that..
Since he was born without a rival, he was satisfied with that..
If I had the power, I would have developed it by chewing, tearing, tasting, and enjoying..
If there is nothing more special, the 'Killing the Divine Beast' I developed may be effective..
“Let's try it now.”
[Why did you talk so incessantly as if you were proud of yourself from a while ago... Wow!]
Windigo's huge body, which was shooting out eye lights, suddenly stopped and trembled. Meanwhile, the special bullet I fired made three holes in his arm..
[Wow!!]
Cooung!
Windigo falls down screaming.
It wasn't a fatal wound, but it succeeded in inflicting a simple blow..
I've run the simulation in my head hundreds of thousands of times, but this is my first time actually doing it, and I succeeded much easier than I thought..
“It's easier than you think.”
The reason for the success of the attack just now is that the protective shield that firmly protected Windigo disappeared..
Windigo quickly recovered and stood up. While I was thinking about what to cook next, something strange happened..
Yongyong, who was watching all this, was scared and ran to me and shouted..
[How did you do this?!]
“later.”
[Answer me! How did you do it?!]
He persistently urged me as if I hadn't heard him. I guess it was seen from the same Shinsu’s perspective..
“Let's deal with that guy first..”
[Don't think about just passing this time. Even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth, I will listen to you.!]
I'm the one answering, but you have a nasty attitude..
On the contrary, this is a method that can pose a threat to Shinsoo..
“I think I made it right.”
‘Killing the Divine Beast’, which I developed, is a trivial skill that cannot even be called a gift..
However, just as these little things can sometimes cause fatal wounds, 'Killing a Shinsu' can distort the timing of a Shinsu, and it is possible to take advantage of that opportunity to inflict fatal wounds..
The principle is to twist the power that appears as naturally as breathing..
Digging into what was possible from the beginning without any research, intervening at the moment of power manifestation and twisting the timing..
In that case, the Divine Beast will have trouble expressing its power, and the gap will become a loophole that I can attack..
There is a magic trick that can overcome this.?
Then you just have to face it head on..
However, Windigo was completely unprepared for this, so it became a very strong punching bag..
[Wow! because! why!]
“Why do you blame others for your lack of skills?.”
I approached him and fired mines, then retreated while avoiding the glaives flying overhead..
What's good about killing a Shinsu is that it distorts the overall flow, causing cracks in the force flow like armor that even most attacks can't enter..
Even now, if you dig into that gap, you can have a lot of fun with mines..
One small crack destroys the whole. What I came up with as a great strategy worked well..
On the other hand, Windigo is completely unprepared for me..
Cooung!
In the end, Windigo's body, which had been accumulating damage, collapsed. The eyes of the guy on his knees were still burning..
[It's not over yet.]
I plan on resisting until the end..
It was a miracle, but his attitude was useful..
Normally I would have hung out until the end, but I decided to stop here..
I've experimented with everything I wanted to experiment with Windigo, and now is the time to get the information I want..
“I didn't come to kill you.”
[what?]
“You were the one who attacked first..”
[…Right.]
“I won't ignore you anymore, do you want to talk??”
[These are the words of a guy who has the upper hand over me, but I can't ignore them. Instead, let's stick together one more time.]
“If you tell me what I want.”
[not cooperate.]
The guy who got up while nodding fell down on the floor. Then he asked me with a bright look in his eyes..
[okay! What is the conversation you want to have with me? I'll answer anything you want.]
“There's nowhere else to talk but here?”
[does not exist! Nature is my home! Why would you confine yourself to a small place??]
“ah…….”
He was a very reckless guy..
I clicked my tongue briefly and sat down across from Windigo..
Yongyong looked like he wanted to ask a question, but he remained silent and quietly sat down next to me..
[Okay, what do you want to ask me??]
“Are you familiar with other gods??”
[I know. Most people avoided me when I wanted to interact with them..]
Where have I heard this before?.
“Then I think it would fit well with Akeri..”
[Except that guy.]
[Wherever I go, I am ignored. I feel sorry for you now.]
[It is difficult in itself to endure that poison. I couldn't hold on and ran away. How funny was that guy’s expression at that time..]
Windigo chuckled happily..
Well, if it weren't for Mandeuk, conversation wouldn't have been possible..
When I think about it this way, Berserker, who gave me all poison and no sting, is a filial son..
“I'm glad you know me well. Then what I want to ask is…….”
Just like I asked Akeri, I asked about the divine beast that studies turning power into gifts..
[I remember there were some interested compatriots..]
It is a harvest reaped from a completely unexpected point..
“okay? Can you give me the list?.”
[I don't know the exact name.]
“You just need to tell me the basic characteristics..”
[Sure. First of all, one guy was flying fast..]
[It's a thunderbird.]
Even if Yongyong wasn't an addendum, I could tell that it was a characteristic of the Thunderbird just by hearing it..
[The other is a guy who has infiltrated the human world and calls himself a god..]
This is a self-proclaimed god.
I thought this guy was suspicious, but I didn't think he had anything to do with it..
[And the last one calls himself a hermit wise man. What I call a reclusive idiot.]
“a reclusive sage?”
[Uh, I don't know about this either.?]
Of course, I didn't expect anything from Yongyong. If it had a name for being secluded, it would never have appeared in front of humanity. Rather, it would be more surprising for Windigo to know..
[This is the guy who was hiding. I also pursued him persistently and succeeded in having a conversation with him. I'm the one who dragged him out of this world..]
[Isn’t that just stalking? I think they harassed Shinsu, who wanted to stay quiet..]
Yongyong’s mumbling was exactly what I felt..
Just by looking at it, it's a picture of a guy who had no sense and chased after him until the end and was a nuisance..
[That guy's resistance was quite harsh. But I persistently persuaded him. If you're going to do research, get out into the world. Finally my persuasion paid off.]
It's definitely a nuisance..
Yongyong sighed as he became 100% sure. At the same time, it seemed to explain that not all gods are like that when they look at me..
[Really.]
Okay. Anyway, you ruined my image of Shinsoo. There is nothing more trivial. I think that's pure muscle and brain, but what?.
“I want to hear about that guy..”
[Are you curious? If you're going to talk about my relationship with this guy,…….]
“We'll talk about that later and start with research on converting power into gifts..”
[Ah, through my introduction, he met the Thunderbird and God. And I started doing research on something similar to what you said. The main goal was to transform power. The key question was whether humans could actually have power..]
The research was led by a hermit sage, assisted by a self-proclaimed god and a thunderbird. And it is said that research has actually made considerable progress..
I found everything.
Maybe this guy is the one who created blood feeding..
“So where is he??”
[The guy disappeared.]
