The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Episode 224:

At the time I was running, the Heavenly Demon Armor was also aware of me. Otherwise, there’s no way you can make eye contact with him.

[Isn’t it strange that you don’t notice when you’re spreading your life like that?]

Oh, that’s right.

It’s me that met someone who made me itch for the first time in a long time.

The distance between me and the Heavenly Demon Armor began to shrink in an instant.

The guy who was staring at me with his small but life-like eyes suddenly opened his mouth wide.

At the same time, the purple fog deepens.

────!

[It’s dangerous!]

Yongyong shouted, but I ignored him and ran straight at him. Purple poison poured out of the Demon Armor’s mouth. Just by looking at it, a thick, poisonous feeling covered me.

Chi-ik!

It is a toxicity that cannot be compared to what we thought we had adapted to before. The powerful poison turned my clothes into powder and penetrated my skin.

It feels stronger because it was aged inside.

Mandeuk, show your abilities.

As if responding to my words, Mandeuk started working. From the moment it penetrated my skin, the poison began to weaken, and the poison that attacked me formed a thin force film, protecting my entire body from the poison.

Instead, the force consumption was enormous. For some reason, Jin Se-jeong’s brightly smiling face came to mind after receiving the Dharma.

[and! [It’s as if it’s just water.]

I ordered it, but I could feel the force escaping in clumps.

Instead, one effect was certain. Thanks to Mandeuk’s hard work, the Cheonma Armor’s poisonous breath was no longer a threat to me.

In the meantime, I was able to get in front of him.

A huge fuselage over 30m long. A monster with such a huge body is bound to be slow in its movements. And because of its weight, attacking its legs and losing its mobility can take away more than half of its combat power.

Puzzle!

I poured mines into the legs of the Heavenly Demon Armor without sparing anything. A huge amount of force escaped and hit the leg of the Heavenly Demon Armor.

At this level, the monster’s legs would have been turned to mush… but

all that appeared on the Heavenly Demon Armor’s legs were a few scratches.

It was a result that fell far short of expectations.

“It’s terrible?”

Coo!

I stepped back to avoid the kick that was trying to step on me. The attack a little while ago was from a horned monster, so I showered it with force as a courtesy, but I never thought it would be this strong.

The evaluation of the Heavenly Demon Armor has been raised.

“First of all, normal strategies don’t work well.”

Well, if he was struggling with a broken leg like this, it wouldn’t be worth the name of a two-horned monster.

[I guess it still stings?]

Is Yongyong putting me on drugs now ?

When I stretched out my hand again, the devil struggled violently and swung its tail to sweep across the ground.

Although the speed was fast, it was not difficult to avoid, so I leisurely moved aside. And when I was about to fight back, a tail suddenly appeared in front of me.

[I twisted space!]

You can’t avoid this.

I crossed my arms and raised my strength.

bang!

The arm was broken with a blunt blow. Then, he was struck by the impact and was pushed back more than 30 meters.

A tingling pain spread from my shaking arm. It’s been a long time since I’ve had an injury like this. It is a more severe injury than when he was starved for about 15 days when he was suffering from a hematoma, was bombarded with missiles, and fought with the Awakened for three days.

“It’s no joke because the monster is making such a fuss.”

I got up, adjusted my broken arm, and took some recovery medicine in pill form.

I felt myself recovering as the Force activated. Although treatment was performed, the strength of the arm bone will be weaker than before because it was immediately after treatment. If you allow the same attack, your bones will shatter.

I looked up at the Heavenly Demon Armor, saw that his mouth was twisted, and asked.

“That’s laughing.”

Even if it wasn’t a monster language, I could tell what it was like. Well, he must have been trampling on the people who attacked him like insects, so his confidence must be sky-high.

“It is armed with an inaccessible poison and can twist space to attack.”

It was seen that he was using his overwhelming physical ability appropriately as a gift.

“It’s just that his body is at the level of a monster, but his gift management is at the level of a clever awakened person.”

Just saying it makes you feel like it’s tricky.

As I approached the Demon Armor, the bones completely fused together.

“First, I have to test how hard the shell is.”

* * *

The Heavenly Demon Armor made me realize why its very existence is a two-horned monster.

First of all, the force was appropriately deployed to pressure the overwhelming physical ability. It doesn’t stop there, but it combines poison and space twisting similar to the gift to add variety to the attack.

Not only is his physical ability amazing, but even the subtleties of applying it are outstanding.

So I allowed one room.

As expected, getting hit really brings me to my senses.

[Is that right? [I stopped it.]

My bone was broken, but I allowed it.

I couldn’t figure out what else he was hiding, so I started searching.

As if he sensed my presence, his attacks became simpler.

He pushed me in a straightforward, simple, and ignorant way, like a monster.

It’s not because he’s stupid. He read the flow and chose what was advantageous to him.

bang! Quagwang!

Meanwhile, the area where the city was was changing from ruins to a wasteland with nothing but rubble remaining.

Even though he was relentlessly pushing, I could feel the dark intentions he had.

The Heavenly Demon Armor tried to hit me with its attack even if it allowed itself to be attacked.

Because when we exchange blows with each other, the blows we receive are different. I’ll be crushed and he won’t even be scratched.

The reason why that confidence was possible was because the leather that surrounded it like armor played a decisive role.

That leather is tough enough to withstand a barrage of mines and has the strength to withstand a storm of blades.

Even if it did hit, purple poison powder sprayed out in all directions. Mandeuk removed it diligently and was not affected by the poison, but if it had been any other awakened person, he would have been poisoned while attacking and would have collapsed with foam at the mouth.

“It’s not efficient.”

I quenched my appetite. Blood flowed from the stab wound inflicted by the guy’s attack, but this was a life wound.

The plan to take away his mobility by hitting his legs turned out to be unreasonable.

At this level, it would be tempting to use nuclear weapons.

The guy must have sensed my intention and had been creating an opening for him to sneak in. If I go in, I will crush it mercilessly.

[Are you going to leave like this?]

“That can’t be possible.”

Even if I step back and prepare, what new method will come out? It’s short, but I’ve gathered information through my experience with this guy, so I need to see the outcome here.

[Wouldn’t it be better to ask for help from divine beasts?]

Before you say that, why don’t you help me?

[I was banned by Hyuna. [You have to get permission.]

If I get permission, can I help you?

[Of course.]

That’s it.

[Why?]

How much help it would be to help a guy who was stopped while running wild.

[That’s a bit harsh.]

“And. “When I see you talking, you talk as if I lost.”

[Wasn’t it?]

“I was just getting a rough idea of it. “I have to catch it from now on.”

[It looks difficult.]

“I couldn’t figure out the weak point. But there are ways.”

All monsters have weaknesses. However, the Heavenly Demon Armor erased even its weaknesses due to its hard leather and instead sublimated it into a trap to attract the opponent.

The cunningness of the monster, which is easy to use, was clearly revealed.

Now that things are like this, we need to attack them in the most reliable way possible.

[What is that?]

“No living thing can survive after this place is destroyed.”

I tapped my temple with my finger.

[It’s a head breaker after all!]

What’s wrong with that?

This is the most certain way.

The skin on your head may be hard, but your brain may not be made of stone.

“Let me see how strong your head is.”

* * *

From the moment I started aiming for the head of the Heavenly Demon Armor, the flow began to change.

Until then, the guy who had been offering up his legs as bait was unable to offer up his head. No matter how strong the head is, the contents inside it are not strong either.

Kwazijic!

As he acknowledged that he was a strong enemy, he did not spare any force when striking the head. Each time, it let out a breath full of poison, but Mandokbulsim was in full effect and neutralized it all.

Instead, I returned to the past and experienced the Force becoming empty for the first time.

Even though I was dealing with a two-horned monster, I experienced force depletion.

I still have a long way to go.

If there were no spares, they would have stopped hunting and retreated.

No matter how much you have, if you overspend, you’ll run out.

I filled it with force using the monster heart I received from Yongyong.

With this, I can use the Force as close to infinite as my physical strength allows.

“It’s my first time using it, so it’s okay.”

It felt foreign, but that’s it. This force was enough to kill the monster.

I responded to his space distortion by stepping in the air and moving freely. In times like these, I thought Han Sang-min’s Blink would be useful. Should I visit Sangmin Han sometime? It seems like there are quite a few things needed to kill a monster.

No matter how well you diddge, when you eventually encountered an attack, the distance you had narrowed down would be long.

It would be enough to narrow it down again. In the process, my entire body became a rag.

I used oral restorative medication, but the injury occurred faster than the wound healed. Moreover, due to the violent movement, the wound was opened and blood was pouring out.

[Isn’t it dangerous if you bleed a lot?]

It’s okay. If you don’t have enough blood, just catch that guy and drink his blood.

[Monster’s blood?]

You don’t know how great a nutrient monster’s blood is. If another awakened person ate it, they might get poisoned and die, but when I was a blood species, I supplemented my blood shortage with the blood of monsters and developed a resistance to poison.

There is no need to do that any more due to the Mandok Invincibility.

When I aimed for his head again, he reflexively tried to protect his head. The target this time was actually the neck, not the head.

Kwasik!

This time it went in properly. As expected, the neck was not as hard as other places.

Grrrr!

The guy struggled as if he had hit the mine properly. As a body over 30 meters tall made a fuss, the surrounding space instantly turned into a mess.

The reaction was so violent that I thought it would be a death sentence, but that wasn’t the case.

“Headbreakers don’t only target the head.”

[…the real you.]

Feel free to admire me.

It was time to push harder while listening to Yongyong’s exclamation.

[…live!]

Huh? Did I hear it wrong?

[I think he’s talking now?]

I didn’t hear wrong. I also heard about Yongyong. Was it possible to use not only monsters but also thoughts?

The Heavenly Demon Armor that made eye contact with me sent me another thought.

[Human.]

“What? “Did you know how to speak?”

Well, he’s a smart guy, so it’s not surprising that he can communicate.

[Let’s negotiate.]

The word ‘negotiation’ comes out of the mouth of a monster. The world is going really well.

[Listen first.]

Yongyong seems curious about what the Heavenly Demon Armor will say.

“What are you negotiating?”

[I have no intention of killing any more humans.]

This is one of the worst bullshit I’ve ever heard.

“After killing this many people?”

[It’s because of the ban imposed on me. I will return after destroying a few more human cities because of this ban.]

The doubts I had about the Heavenly Demon Armor were being resolved. Why did it appear right in front of Beijing and only attack major cities on the northern side?

“Is it because of the humans’ spell that made you like this?”

[Yes.]

“So what if the ban is lifted?”

[After killing all those who made me like this, I will return to the place where I was born.]

You have become a pacifist. He cosplays as if he is being forced to kill even though he doesn’t want to.

“Would you believe that?”

[I don’t want to die with someone as strong as you. If you step down, I will no longer be hostile to you.]

“I see.”

[Okay then…]

“What are you talking about? I have no intention of doing that.”

[What?]

The Heavenly Demon Armor’s body trembled.

“I have no intention of negotiating.”

When he thought he could play with me like a toy, he pretended to be strong, but now he’s asking me to compromise.

At first glance, his way of thinking was no different from that of a despicable villain.

My interest has cooled.

“Just die here.”
