The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity Chapter 294

Episode 294

Choi Jun-ho returned to Korea.

It was sudden when I came, but it was the same when I returned.

The only reason I stayed for a few days was to repair the coat that James Reed gave me as a gift. It was an investment to obtain some fragments of the divine tree, but in the end it did not achieve its purpose.

However, Choi Jun-ho did not forget that he was indebted to him and gave him a fragment of another Shinsu’s claw. With that, James Reed made a huge splash.

Once the coat was repaired, Choi Jun-ho left LA without hesitation.

Herbert and Phantom’s impressions of sitting across from each other were a mixture of ‘lightness’ and ‘complexity’.

“You’re gone.”

“Went.”

“Under normal circumstances, I would have regretted it. To benefit as much as possible from your achievements.”

“Don’t you know that he is different from other people? “It’s just a result of the process.”

“It’s nice that they disappear at the same time.”

“I’m a person who doesn’t know when and at what moment an accident may occur, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”

It was a feeling of relief. Choi Jun-ho’s existence was a series of tensions as he didn’t know when he would explode. The fact that if the move was wrong, the player had to take action regardless of the opponent was a burden.

Herbert actually felt threatened for his life several times while facing Choi Jun-ho.

I’m not afraid of death, but I used to think that for Choi Jun-ho, dying was nothing more than a dog’s death.

“From now on, we have to take on the risk of a head breaker.”

“It’s a risk we all have to take.”

“That’s the bigger problem.”

Choi Jun-ho was much more active than Thunderbird and had a clear idea of what he wanted.

Transparency has the advantage of being easy to deal with, but it also means having to bear losses in business relationships.

It should be seen as a being like a divine beast with good activity.

His personality is much worse than that.

When he is an ally, he is trustworthy, but when he is an enemy, he is a disaster itself. As the American president aiming for world hegemony, Choi Jun-ho’s existence as the leader of a party that had been ruling from behind the scenes was bound to be complicated.

“Still, it appears that we all share the same view that we should seek to improve relationships through transactions.”

“The government also gave us lots of gifts.”

Herbert’s sigh deepened.

If the American president who would change the world’s hegemony were to appear in such a way, Phantom would have clicked his tongue, but Phantom, who had suffered terribly from Choi Jun-ho, knew well the meaning behind it.

“…I tried to pick just one, but they ripped them all off. “If you look at that, it seems like you’re greedy.”

“As you enter society, the things you pursue increase. It is a natural process and an opportunity for us. “Try to please him.”

Herbert’s eyes darkened.

In other cases it would have seemed like the party was giving up, but it never sounded like that to Herbert.

“Isn’t this pushing you to die?”

“No way.”

“I think so.”

“Because we are electing a president to do such bad things.”

“You didn’t even vote for me.”

Herbert shouted with an aggrieved expression, but his words had no effect.

How can you talk about who you voted for in the land of the free?

As the Phantom snorted, Herbert couldn’t help it anymore.

“If you are going to risk your life, please support me. “I know you sponsored the opposing candidate this time too.”

“It’s okay to whine about something you do regularly.”

“So you’re saying you won’t do it? “Are you going to go to Korea right now and whine at Choi Jun-ho?”

Normally, this would have been a threat that would have gone unnoticed, but as it became associated with Choi Jun-ho, a miracle that sounded threatening was activated.

Phantom, with his mouth twisted, thought for a moment and then answered, showing that he had no choice.

“I’ll do it in moderation, so take it and leave.”

“…haha! Improved relations between the government and the party will put many people at ease. “That is a very wise decision.”

“It’s fortunate that even if we get rid of you, the person who will take over is Daniel.”

“He won’t be visiting from today.”

Phantom snorted as he watched Herbert immediately change his stance.

High-speed flight was a gift better than anyone else that could be described as the power of a divine beast.

A flight gift that is close to space movement. The only drawback is that as the distance increases, the load on the body increases exponentially.

Currently, I am overcoming my shortcomings by withstanding the load and recovering with super regeneration. However, in this case, problems occur when engaging in battle after high-speed flight.

It may not matter if the opponent is not going to show off their full power, but it was a serious flaw when they had to show off their full power.

If so, we need to find a way to prevent physical function from deteriorating. To put it simply, it was physical strengthening, and if you go deeper, you need to find a gift with superior performance than the existing one.

It’s a difficult condition, but what if this is met? After that, high-speed flight can be used freely.

“It’s not easy.”

When I tried to use high-speed flights from LA to Seoul, I soon felt the limitations and stopped using high-speed flights.

As a result, I found myself stuck in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with no end in sight.

If there were no disturbances around you, you could move around while taking breaks like this.

The problem is that it leaves you unable to exert your full power.

While recovering his body through super regeneration, he was quietly concentrating on his recovery while hunting down the monster that approached him after smelling it.

It was much more comfortable on a monster corpse than floating on the sea.

I took out the heart and searched for gifts, but it was useless. The heart, which seemed to be of high value until then, does not look very good.

This is a side effect of obtaining the essence of divine water.

“I’ll have to use it a few more times and distribute the load evenly.”

What I felt while flying at high speeds was that the load applied to each part of the body was different, and that the more evenly distributed this was, the longer the distance traveled could be.

However, this is also a temporary measure and the essence is to endure through physical strengthening.

However, this ‘superior’ standard was ambiguous.

It would have to be at least a legendary gift, but I wonder if there is anyone who has it.

“Are you too impatient?”

Of course, you can use high-speed flight even without that gift. If I take the pain and use the method of spreading the body overload evenly.

Still, if possible, I wanted to erase the obvious shortcomings and let only the strengths play out.

The problem was that it wasn’t easy.

I guess I’ll have to look for this as a monster, not an awakened person.

Well, are we going to hear complaints that this is disrupting the ecosystem again?

it will work out somehow.

by the way.

“The newbie is shy.”

I received a report that the new recruit, Gift Ego of High-Speed Flight, had locked the door and was not moving. The Mandeuks were showing great interest in the appearance of a new recruit, but they had told them to give it some time.

They gave us a short vacation until we returned to Seoul.

If you don’t show up by then, we’ll have to force you out.

I was a generous owner, but I wasn’t a pushover. If you have to do it, you are a true graduate student.

“This isn’t bad either?”

Surprisingly, drifting alone in the open sea and organizing my thoughts didn’t seem that bad. I thought it would be a good idea to use it often while practicing high-speed flight in the future.

To say that, the monsters around were killed in droves.

“Is it because of this?”

I fixed my gaze on the essence of the Thunderbird’s divine beast. It seemed like he came from too far away to say he came after smelling blood, so there was no explanation other than this guy.

Well, if you eat this, you will become several levels stronger, so it would not be strange for monsters to roll their eyes.

However, I couldn’t decide how to use it.

Still, it was a shame to hand it over to Yongyong. Because this is my loot too. I need to take it to Seoul and think about how to use it.

“Then let’s go again.”

I once again used high-speed flight towards Seoul.

* * *

Even though not much time had passed, when I arrived in Seoul, it felt like it had been a long time since I arrived. I was greeted by a completely different weather and scenery than LA, and even though it was a bit more desolate, it still felt familiar to me.

“I guess this is why I go home.”

Actually, my hometown was not Seoul.

However, even to call Cheongju my hometown, the memories of Haengjong were so long that even those were vague. As a result, I began to think that Seoul, where I had come to my senses and settled down, was more like my hometown.

Although I had a good rest in LA, it was nothing compared to resting at home, so I headed straight home. I wondered if Yoonhee was there, but no one was there because she went to work, and for the first time in a long time, I was able to be alone at home comfortably.

“Anyway, I think I need to kill this energy once.”

I said while looking at the essence of the divine beast. The essence of the divine beast, which possesses the unique energy of the Thunderbird, was calm on the outside, but inside it contained the violence of a series of storms and thunderbolts.

“Sometime.”

I placed my hand on the essence of the Divine Beast and began to flow the force into it. Then there was a violent backlash, and a terrifying shock wave began to shake my soul.

Yes, this is soul stimulation. The Thunderbird’s thoughts, which had not yet completely disappeared, were violently hostile to me and were rushing towards me as if they were going to eat me. It was both hostility toward me and Shinsu’s pride. I felt a sense of steadfastness that would not be broken by any maneuver.

But I had no intention of just watching that happen. When you completely control its energy, monsters will not be attracted to you unnecessarily, and you can use the Thunderbird’s energy in the direction you want.

and.

You refuse my control just because of your thoughts?

In response to the cheeky guy’s resistance, I started using force. The boy’s will to resist was crushed by my waterfall-like force.

Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!

Subduing the steamship was successful. But that doesn’t mean it’s out of my control. As expected of Shinsoo, his noble pride was not broken.

Even so, my specialty is trampling on those who resist. In times like this, you need to use a variety of methods to destroy your pride from various angles, not just one method. In the end, when you realize that you are an insignificant being who can’t do anything, a crack appears and you have to dig through the gap mercilessly to collapse.

Even if it was Shinsoo’s resignation, the overall framework was no different.

The essence of the divine beast, which had been swayed here and there by my immense control, finally revealed a crack. Even though it doesn’t have a host, it can survive for a long time like this.

In the end, my control was penetrated through the pride of the divine beast’s essence that began to collapse, and as a result, the divine beast’s essence was gradually taken over by me and began to become accustomed to my form and method.

I colored it with my own hands from start to finish. It feels like I’m making a mess, but there’s no reason to worry about that.

When I came to my senses, it was already dark night. I started breaking it in in the morning, so it took half a day.

“…You’re really picky about the topic of Divine Beast Essence.”

But the hard work was definitely worth it. The power contained in the essence of the divine beast that melted like rice cake in my hands was beyond imagination.

There’s no point in comparing it to a monster in the first place, right? In fact, it made me think that Shinsoo was not able to utilize his power properly compared to the two-horned monster.

Now that I think about it, I remember what the thunderbird said. That he went out of his way to avoid being eaten by monsters.

If you think about it differently, monsters have learned how to fully demonstrate their power through a fierce competition for survival, and Shinsu’s method of using the power it has accumulated over a long period of time will inevitably be different.

What this means is that if Shinsu can exert 100% of his power, he can become much stronger than he is now.

“Is it fun?”

What intrigued me was the fact that it didn’t end here.

Then I heard a familiar sound.

[I’m here!]

Yongyong appeared.

It appears as soon as you tame the essence of the divine beast. As expected, it was because of this guy that he didn’t show up.

“Why are you here now?”

[Because of the essence you possess. When I appear, we clash.]

“For that matter, you and Hyuna get along well?”

It was a reference to the fact that the Thunderbird appeared immediately after its death.

[Now that I think about it, why did it disappear then?]

“Just.”

There is no reason for me to face two divine beasts when I am at my weakest.

[If there are two of us, we can control it to some extent. As the Thunderbird disappears, it is in an uncontrollable state. It suddenly became quiet, but what did you do?]

“It’s a secret.”

[why. Please tell me.]

“I don’t like it.”

As soon as it appears, it clings to you annoyingly.

I quietly watched Yongyong hovering around me.

[Why?]

His actions were infinitely trivial, but he was still a god. The words the thunderbird said still linger in my head. As much as he felt threatened by the monster, there is no way Yongyong or Hyeon-ah would not have felt threatened as well.

That means he is also a sneaky guy.

“Let me ask you one thing.”

[What is it?]

“Did you think I was going to lose?”

[huh? That can’t be possible.]

As he said that, I could see his eyes rolling.

I thought I was going to lose.

[Still, I thought the possibility was high!]

“I think I know roughly what you thought.”

[That’s…sorry!]

As expected, Yongyong is a pushover.

I can’t believe you’re apologizing for something that, if it were me, I would have just crushed.
