The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 258
Episode 258
Even when Draculea faced Choi Jun-ho, anxiety and fear coexisted in the eyes of Europe gathered in front of Galachi.
Draculea, who easily trampled on twelve superhumans, impressed the world with her strength and why she was a plus-level monster.
Can Choi Jun-ho deal with such a monster?
It is said that he once eliminated the Heavenly Demon Armor, but those who felt Draculea’s strength firsthand were not convinced.
The result of the confrontation that took place in front of Galachi was Choi Jun-ho’s victory.
Draculea, who had terrorized Europe, was unable to withstand Choi Jun-ho and ran away.
But the situation is not over.
Draculea, who survived, made a desperate escape, and Choi Jun-ho chased after her, asking her to track him down.
By the time we entered the Black Sea, the monster and Choi Jun-ho had disappeared without a trace.
The European Union, which had been chasing the trail of the monster with all its might, was taken aback.
It was Franz who appeared at that time.
“We marshal our battle lines and prepare for any emergency.”
Although Franz had already retired and stepped down for a second term, there was no one who would ignore his words.
The European Union without Franz was the era of Harry and Antoine, but their direction proved to be a failure. European Union members welcomed Franz’s return and followed his instructions.
They quickly took up a defensive posture and began preparations to support Romania, which had suffered heavy damage from Draculea. Romanian President Philip appealed for massive support through a video speech.
Franz, who had taken control of the European Union in an instant, went into a state of alert and twisted his mouth as he remembered the quiet guy’s face.
“Antoine, that insidious guy will not come forward.”
Antoine was a man who could do anything for his own benefit, stimulating Harry Carlson, who had an inferiority complex, and improving the relationship between England and France, which were eternal rivals.
Since he never shows up in places where he is at a disadvantage, he was sure he wouldn’t come after seeing what happened to Harry Carlson.
I don’t mind coming.
Will Choi Jun-ho remain still after seeing him?
Then he shook his head in surprise.
“You can’t defend him.”
No matter how disgusting it is, you should not support Choi Jun-ho’s violence.
We succeeded in detecting a reaction that disappeared shortly thereafter.
“This is a headbreaker reaction! Appeared in Romania.”
“What about Draculea?”
“No response! Photos of the scene just arrived.”
The moment Choi Jun-ho, who was fine, and Draculea’s limp body were seen, cheers erupted from all directions.
“It’s been an hour now.”
Franz, leaning back in his chair, was relieved.
* * *
When I returned with the body of Draculea, personnel from the South Korean government rushed to collect the body.
At the time I hunted the two-horned monster, I had full rights to the corpse. The European Union will covet it, but only with my permission.
After leaving the body with the government officials, I turned off my nerves and returned straight to Bucharest.
President Philip announced that he would prepare a large welcome ceremony for me, but I declined due to fatigue. I don’t like that kind of thing, and it’s just an event to increase one’s approval rating, so there’s no reason to hang out.
When I returned to my lodgings, I saw old Franz smiling brightly. I didn’t like the way one of the sleeves was hanging around. After all, there is no point in sacrificing for others who do not know what to do.
“Welcome! “I’m glad you’re safe!”
“Why did you come when you’re not feeling well?”
“Did you know that too?”
“I had no intention of hiding it, but it’s even stranger that I didn’t notice.”
“Well, it’s even weirder that I now think of you as an ordinary human being.”
I saw a group of people wandering around and winked at Franz.
“Let’s change seats.”
After entering the hotel, I sat down on the bed. Maybe I was tired, but just sitting down made me feel like all the fatigue I had put off was coming back. Franz sat down in the guest chair.
“Hunting was hard.”
“Is that the expression of a guy who is having a hard time?”
“What do you think about my expression?”
“This is the first time I’ve seen a guy with so much spare time after hunting Plus Plus level monsters. “What on earth happened to you?”
“I’m tired.”
“Usually when you deal with that monster, they say they barely survived, but they don’t end it by saying they’re tired like you.”
In fact, it was a huge improvement compared to when dealing with the Heavenly Demon Armor. In fact, if you ask whether Draculea is weaker than the Heavenly Demon Armor, that is not the case. Although it varies depending on the type, as he became stronger with the help of the Divine Beast, he was able to show more cleverness than the Heavenly Demon Armor.
It’s just because I became stronger after hunting him. He has become stronger than when he was a demon, and he just met the wrong opponent.
“I am strong. “It’s not something that idiots can hunt easily.”
“I guess so. “I’ve been scolded this time, so I won’t be able to say the same thing.”
“Well, if I realized it after half the time, I stopped it cheaply.”
“….”
Ignoring Franz’s depressed expression, I told him about my next schedule.
“I will leave after seeing the saint accept the offer.”
“That early? Europeans are grateful for your hunting. “Wouldn’t it be better to travel around a bit more and make friends?”
Franz seemed ready to step forward even without me saying anything.
I didn’t necessarily feel the need.
“That doesn’t matter, you must have felt something too.”
“What do you mean?”
“Letting go of power means you can destroy everything you’ve achieved so far.”
“….”
Franz’s expression hardened.
“Instead of an honorable retirement, we had to be greedy and fill the place with people who would carry on the old man’s will.”
“Are you not even thinking about what people around you think?”
“What changes if you think about that? “They are all people who will ignore you anyway once their power disappears.”
“haha.”
I don’t covet power. However, I observed from the side what the nature of power was. And even if you let go of it out of pretense or pretense, you should not leave it to someone else.
No matter how many people around you talk about it, there is nothing you can do.
Well, if it doesn’t change no matter what I say, there’s no reason to talk any more.
“You will take care of the rest.”
“Okay, keep that in mind.”
Still, I felt something. It’s a shame that my arm was blown off, but being alive is important.
Having modified old Franz’s thinking, I moved on to the next item.
“I have a question.”
“Tell me.”
“Do you know anything about the divine beasts that exist in Europe?”
“…if there is?”
“How many have you met?”
“….”
Franz could not open his mouth to my question. As far as I know, old Franz is one of the most active figures in Europe. Since he played a significant role in reuniting the scattered Europe, he must be well aware of the secrets that each European country is hiding. That’s why I asked about Shinsoo.
“As far as I know, there are a total of three divine beasts that exist in Europe. “They say there used to be four.”
It may have been because of the dragon’s departure.
“You said you’ve met the divine beasts, right? Couldn’t meet. “Shinsu is said to be a god-like being with transcendent power, but he is passive when it comes to meeting humans.”
“It will help them hunt monsters.”
“Are you talking about preventing monsters from entering one’s territory? “It’s just arrogance to think that your place of residence is sacred!”
Looking at it this way, it seems like old Franz has accumulated something.
Well, you might think that it might have been helpful if a divine beast with transcendental power cooperated with humans to eliminate monsters.
However, in reality, Shinsu is reluctant to eliminate monsters.
You can tell just by looking at Yongyong, right?
[Why am I appearing there?]
I was just telling the truth. You don’t really care what happens to humans, do you?
[That’s right?]
I’m not saying anything, but the point of view of Shinsoo is that much different from that of humans.
That’s not wrong.
“I want to meet those guys, is it possible?”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can do that.”
Old Franz spoke firmly. I tried to use this opportunity to meet Shinsoo, but it turned out to be a disaster.
“Divine beasts are beings that do no harm to humans as long as they are not touched. “I don’t think there’s any reason to visit them or provoke them.”
“Still, if you want to see it?”
“You won’t be able to stop it. But now is not a good time.”
In a situation where all of Europe’s attention was focused on me, I went to Shinsu and told him that there was no reason to cause trouble.
He told me to quietly visit Europe later after finishing my work with the saint.
Actually, people’s gaze towards me was not normal.
“I’ll take note of something.”
“I hope you listen to me.”
“I will listen.”
“Yes, please.”
* * *
After Franz returned, I turned my gaze to Yongyong and asked him.
“If you want to meet the divine beasts, you can meet them, right?”
[We can meet. But we’re not close.]
“If we’re not close, can’t we visit?”
[Because you are entering someone else’s territory without permission. There is a burden. If he’s impatient, he’ll probably try to eat me.]
“That’s not helpful.”
[The situation is like that. It’s rare for Shinsoo to know each other like Hyuna and I do. There are few divine beasts that reveal their existence as often as the Thunderbird.]
Anyway, I know that the ones around me are all unique.
I thought they were all people of interest like these guys, but I guess not.
Actually, there must have been some hint in what the dragon was trying to say.
I’m curious what it is, but I don’t think there will be an answer.
How do you coax this guy?
Yongyong asked me as I was thinking.
[Are you trying to meet me because of the dragon?]
“No. “I was just asking?”
[What?]
“Why bother meeting? “It’s not like they bothered me.”
I was just asking because I was curious about how many divine beings there are in Europe. And what does Franz think of Shinsoo and what impact does Shinsoo have on Europe?
Judging by what I heard this time, it seemed like the divine beasts in Europe had nothing to worry about.
As long as you don’t bother me, it doesn’t matter whether they fight among themselves or not.
Yongyong’s expression, which had been very tense, relaxed.
[Was that something like that?]
“Did you think I would go find a quiet guy and start a fight?”
[….]
Look at this guy? Do you say yes in silence?
[Oh no! I knew it!]
When my gaze turns unappealing, I quickly make an excuse. After all, you have to lift a stick to make your speech work.
“I have to meet the god that the saint worships, right?”
[Yes, I want to meet you. I guess you remembered.]
“Of course I remember.”
It was something Yongyong came up with, but I was curious about what kind of being the god the saint worshiped was.
“I will let you meet, but instead, share information with me.”
[Okay.]
Shinsoo won’t say two things with one mouth.
The next day, I sat down with the saint separately. Of course, it is to achieve the intended goal.
“I want to get what I promised.”
“….”
“What is the answer?”
“…You gave permission.”
The expression on your face doesn’t make sense.
Even at a glance, it was clear that he was reluctant.
Am I really that reluctant to meet God?
“Headbreaker.”
Maybe that’s why he asks me with a serious expression.
“I don’t think it’s a good idea to see him right now. “Can’t you think about it again?”
“Why do you think it’s not good?”
“That…”
The saint was unable to continue speaking. Well, at first I thought it was just because I didn’t like it, but when I looked at his attitude, there was something there.
[But the expression on his face seems like he’s worried about you, right?]
When Yongyong said that, I looked at the saint and saw that she was worried about me.
Why are you doing this?
[That man cannot defy the self-proclaimed God. So, you have to think about not being able to speak.]
After listening to Yongyong speak, I understood.
Then, there is something about meeting God.
If this was going to happen, should I have stepped forward instead of Yongyong?
[Surely the words won’t change?]
I clicked my tongue as I looked at Yongyong, who looked anxious.
I can’t even joke around.
“I want to see the face of the one who calls me God, but this is not what I wanted.”
“yes? Then…”
[It’s me.]
When Yongyong, who had been quietly watching, stepped forward, the saintess’s eyes turned round.
“uh? then?”
“I’m curious too, but I decided to give in this time.”
Or can we watch it together?
Seeing a saint react like that makes me want to go with her.
[No, that’s not good.]
This time, Yongyong came forward with a serious expression. I thought it was because I wanted to watch it alone, but it turned out no.
[There is a high probability that the place where you meet someone who calls themselves God will be very unfavorable to you. If you go there wrong, you may not be able to come back. So I have to go.]
Yongyong, who is currently next to me, is an alter ego, and even if he disappears, there will be no major damage.
Was there such an inside story?
It certainly seems like adding an alter ego wasn’t a bad choice.
[Trust me.]
Well, I don’t believe it at all, so I don’t think I need to say it.
When she realized that it was Yongyong who wanted to meet her, not me, her face brightened.
“I’ll proceed right away.”
[Okay.]
The saint put her hands together and began to pray on the spot. After a while, pure white energy poured over her head and a brilliant light emitted.
[I’m calling. I’ll be back.]
As Yongyong headed towards the light, he disappeared as if it were seeping in.
At the same time, the light disappeared.
Then the saint’s eyes opened wide.
“uh?”
“why?”
“I don’t feel his presence inside me.”
“Has it escaped?”
“I don’t know about that. One thing is clear. I don’t think I can tell you anything else now.”
The saintess with a serious expression looked at me and said.
“God is aiming for a head breaker on you.”
The saint warned that there was no telling what would have happened if I had pressed ahead with the meeting this time.
What kind of great information is that?
Watching Je-ryeon rebel, I realized a long time ago that the self-proclaimed god was trying to play a trick on me.
Thanks to that, I got one more gift to pamper myself with.
The guy who completely lost his resistance skill brilliantly activated super regeneration during the battle with Draculea.
I asked back with a sour expression.
“Is there anything new besides that?”
“yes?”
The saint asked back with an absurd expression.
