The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity - Chapter 364
Chapter 364
: Hell Master, who had missed the opportunity for conversion, stepped back and distanced himself, and I once again pondered the scent of death that had just hit me.
It is a kind of savoring process.
This is different from existing gifts.
“How did you do that?”
“I never thought I would avoid this.”
“What is the answer to my question?”
“Is there any reason why I should answer?”
“No. “I was just asking.”
“….”
The Hell Master’s mouth closed.
Aside from making him shut up, the lingering sensation from the previous attack was truly amazing.
It seemed that there was a significant difference between the power of a divine beast and the gifts possessed by humans.
A representative example is high-speed flight. This is brought close to its original form, and when activated, it shows no mercy and mobilizes an aftereffect strong enough to tear the body to pieces.
But the effect is certain.
The instant death gift possessed by the Hell Master will also be close to the original form possessed by the original Shinsu.
Instead of taking it as is, there is an aftereffect and Hell Master’s activation conditions have become more stringent.
Clearly, at the time of the first collision, there was no aura of ‘instant death’ from the Hell Master. Then, as several clashes continued, just when the guard was about to relax, death came close.
Why did they go through the trouble of mixing up the attacks?
Instead of keeping the trigger conditions as is, I dealt with the aftereffects, and instead of changing the trigger conditions, he eliminated the aftereffects.
“You can’t use that as you wish.”
“…!”
The Hell Master’s eyes widened slightly and then returned to normal. I was caught off guard, but instead of being cornered, he smiled and spoke to me.
“Will knowing that change anything?”
“It means that death is created by satisfying certain conditions. “I don’t know whether it will vary depending on the class or the situation.”
What on earth is the principle that creates this inevitable ‘death’?
Maybe it was me who noticed, but the enemy dealing with the Hell Master would have faced the approaching death as normal and given up his life without even realizing it.
“Do more.”
“…However much.”
A new model of Hell Master has arrived.
* * *
‘Has one number been revealed?’
Hell Master Sean Bailey clicked his tongue inwardly.
Although he was confident that he could deliver absolute death against Head Breaker, he readily admitted that it was just a miscalculation.
Much stronger and faster.
Above all, his ‘combat intelligence’, which was not appropriate for his age, far exceeded expectations.
It had a higher combat intelligence than Black Hound, which was called a master of practical combat by carrying out all operations perfectly.
‘In a short moment, he figured out the trap I had created and completely avoided the death I gave him.’
What’s scarier is that we’re quickly approaching the essence of death that we create ourselves.
Sean Bailey felt goosebumps rising all over his body. The only person he felt fearful of in front of him was the person he served.
‘It provides a more secret and more certain death.’
Thinking of him, Sean Bailey recalled the origin of the gift he received.
He was originally a member of an unnamed religion and was chosen directly by ‘the One’ who controlled all death. And he came into the world with the power of ‘that person’ who chose to disappear on his own.
This is why the Hell Master, who brings death to all enemies who face him, appears in the world.
This world was a bundle of contradictions for Sean Bailey, who had seen from the moment consciousness existed that only ability could lead one to rise in a strictly hierarchical society.
It was Argos who reached out to the car that was trying to correct this bizarrely twisted and twisted world, and tried to project his dream onto that ideal.
The reason everything was going smoothly was ruined because of Choi Jun-ho.
The League, which had been spreading its power across the world and growing as if it would devour the world, faltered and continued to shrink again and again.
As a result, it fell into a situation where it was unable to project its full power even in South America.
If it weren’t for him, this wouldn’t have happened.
“A certain death in His name.”
* * *
In my view, there are several conditions set for the ‘instant death’ created by the Hell Master.
Perhaps it was a condition set by the Shinsu who gave him this ability, or the guy’s skills were insufficient compared to the Shinsu, so it was changed to only activate when the conditions were met.
I tried to figure out what those conditions were, but gave up.
It was impossible to immediately understand the behavior of cleverly mixing up one’s numbers.
If Yongyong had been there at a time like this, he would have intervened, pretending to know, but he is not there when it is absolutely necessary.
“It’s a pretty fun prank.”
The warning of death as all senses in my body were heightened was unfamiliar and gave me a shiver.
It’s a different feeling from when dealing with the Thunderbird. At the time, if you encountered a superiority that could be overcome by challenging a transcendent being, the death created by the Hell Master was unconditional and could never be destroyed.
You shouldn’t even think about confronting it.
But why do I keep wanting to bump into it?
If you spread bait like this, bites will come.
The prediction was correct.
[Hit it. And try your best to resist death. Don’t worry about dying. I will somehow survive and put your body to good use.]
As always, the hematoma that gets in is very disturbing.
It’s as expected.
I pretended to be overcome by impulse and approached the Hell Master.
There was a lot of groundwork being laid, but if any loopholes were revealed, I was planning to twist their necks without mercy.
However, Hell Master’s response was not easy.
What particularly surprised me was that there was more than one setting in which he created death.
“oh.”
After avoiding one instant death gift, what awaited me was another death.
By flying at high speed, I barely escaped the rushing force of death that spread out like a net.
As I tried to cover a short distance without any preparation, the muscles of my entire body were torn and twisted and I screamed, but what was more important was that I survived.
After all, there are too many risks to take.
“This one was dangerous.”
“How long do I have to play pranks like this?”
“I’m not joking?”
“I don’t want to play with words anymore. Did you enjoy everything you enjoyed too? So now hold our hands.”
What does this mean all of a sudden?
However, the guy started recommending it to me with a serious expression, as if it wasn’t a joke.
“Your ideology is no different from the League. So why are you rejecting us?”
“I’m like you?”
“Are you planning on saying no? “Anyone can see that you are showing us what we think is ideal?”
It was a similar level of bullshit to Argos, who told me I was born to be a villain.
Now you’re telling me I’m creating the paradise the league seeks?
“Why do you think that?”
“The country you live in is the country we pursue.”
Korea, where I live now?
Are you saying that utopia is what the league is pursuing now?
“A place where capable awakened people are given preferential treatment. Your president is also a capable awakened person, and awakened people are involved in all aspects of government affairs and are ruling the country well. A place where capable people are treated without discrimination and can fully demonstrate their abilities. It was all made by you. “That is the ideal society and nation we have been pursuing.”
“….”
Is this guy’s bullshit plausible, or did I end up doing something to myself by over-thinking my brain?
After listening to it, I realized that it wasn’t wrong.
It was absurd that the league would see it that way just because I did my best to live comfortably.
“You are already the great talent we want. So hold our hands. “You can still turn it back.”
“Did you really think I would be impressed and join?”
“no.”
“But why are you doing this senseless thing?”
There was no sign that it was to buy time.
Hell Master grinned.
“I’m planting a seed in you. Seed of the League.”
It wasn’t difficult to figure out what those words meant.
Even if the league disappears, I am realizing that ideal.
The more I try to shake it off, the darker and bigger the shadow will become.
I’m sure he’s aiming for that.
In a word, it means that it is a modified work.
“Your neck will have to be twisted here for it to be completed.”
“I don’t mind anything as long as it brings death to you. And there isn’t much left.”
The Hell Master had a confident expression on his face.
“Even if I die, you too will die here.”
We both want each other’s lives in the same way.
Me and the Hell Master started rushing at each other like no one else.
* * *
Hell Master’s instant death skill is revealed through a kind of build-up.
The gift is activated through a part of the person’s body or a weapon holding the force, and then secretly digs into the gap and causes death.
Death slowly fading away. There is nothing that can oppose it.
till now.
It’s obvious, but I thought it might be different for me.
Because all humans consider themselves special.
However, my thoughts began to change the moment I saw the instant death gift freely manifested.
The inevitable wave of death was washing over me at every moment.
You might think that you can avoid it by flying at high speed.
However, what Hell Master is aiming for is the moment I activate high-speed flight.
‘Death’, where its power is revealed, is completed by digging into the gap created the moment the opponent activates the gift.
The more powerful a gift is, the more the force around it reacts.
The most useful high-speed flight becomes a hindrance.
At this point, it was safe to call it a gift killer rather than an instant death.
In the end, since you can’t use high-speed flight, you can’t avoid the death he casts.
“Is it the gift principle?”
“Wow, you noticed this? “Isn’t it really amazing?”
A voice full of admiration. What was underneath it all was the firm belief that he was the winner.
“Why don’t you change your mind now? I don’t want to kill you like this either. “You can still turn it back.”
“gibberish.”
“Are you saying you will choose death in the end? “It’s like you.”
The hesitation disappeared from the Hell Master, who was muttering in a voice full of regret.
“Then I will give you certain death.”
Hell Master began to rush forward. However, unlike the first time, I was unable to respond in any way to his attack and was in a hurry to retreat.
If you hit it directly, you will be exposed to the death it created. However, if you shoot from a distance, you are giving the guy space to use death.
Of course, there are other methods, but they also involve variables.
Only if this sluggish trend continues will a pinch hitter appear.
I guess I’ll have to take the bait soon.
[It’s frustrating.]
Heungjong, who was watching this scene, couldn’t help but say something.
I got caught.
[Are you planning to run away like a coward?]
It’s ridiculous to say that I ever tried to run away.
[You’re like a rat running away.]
You’re talking as if the outcome would be different if it were you.
I threw the bait again.
The guy asked it.
[Of course. If it were me, I wouldn’t be shaking like a scared rat like you.]
Hematoma may have been something he said to mock me, but I was waiting for his words.
Words contain very strong power.
Until now, Hematoma had not known one thing.
He was always looking for an opportunity to take over my body, and I was in a defensive position.
The advantage of the defending side is that if they can lock the fortress tightly and prevent the opponent from entering, they can also open the fortress door wide and let the enemy in.
It was important that he expressed his intention to give permission.
Because the thoughts of the side that wanted to do something and the side that wanted to make concessions were the same.
Isn’t that how a deal is done?
In an instant, I unlocked the locked door.
“Then why don’t you try it?”
[What?]
The change of consciousness that occurred at the same time.
I was sucked into the world of images and took control of my body.
A hematoma took over my body.
