The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity Chapter 216

Episode 216

The diplomatic corps from the United States returned, but James Reed remained in Korea. When I asked him why, he said that since Northeast Asia is where the political situation is changing most violently recently, he will stay here and represent the United States’ position.

I thought the annoying guy would stay.

“It’s good that this useful guy stays in Korea.”

“Is that so?”

Berserker was happy because he found a partner with good taste. Now that you think about it, you said you played against James Reed a few times and their head-to-head record was similar, right?

The two types were very different. While Berserker is the type of person who learns things through physical encounters, James Reed thoroughly analyzes them with his head, theorizes them, and then applies them.

Since they have opposite tendencies, it seemed like they made up for what they were lacking every time they faced off.

however.

“Isn’t your rival a dog now?”

“You’re talking nonsense.”

“Or else.”

“I was the one who won the last fight.”

He said it with a serious expression, but it was funny because he said he beat a dog.

Well, it’s true. The battle at the time was quite fierce, but it could be concluded as a victory based on experience.

You dog ate expensive dog food and then lost.

“So you’re trying to get along with a little guy? “Are you trying not to be embarrassed by the dog?”

“….”

“I think you’ve already suffered the embarrassment of being bitten by a dog.”

If the dog had bitten Berserker, his injuries would have been quite serious. Since it was simply a ranking match, it was overlooked, but it must have been a dizzying moment for Berserker.

“I have no intention of being pushed down the hierarchy by a dog like this.”

“Do something well.”

“I think so.”

That sounds very believable.

Berserker is burning up his motivation, but it won’t be easy to shake off the dog’s fierce pursuit.

Although it was disparaged as crude, the power contained in the essence of the artificial divine beast was by no means an easy amount. They succeeded in fragmenting it and stored it inside, and are gradually dissolving it into their own.

Perhaps Berserker will grow stronger much faster than you think and become a threat.

Once it breaks, Berserker will come to his senses and become stronger. These days, I’ve been enjoying my free time and playing golf, but I think I need to use shock therapy.

There was also a reason for the dog to become stronger.

[To catch a real thunderbird?]

Yongyong, who confirmed my feelings, has been unable to hide his anxiety ever since.

“Is it really that surprising that I caught a thunderbird?”

[It’s nothing else, it’s a divine beast! Do you know how great the object you are trying to catch is?]

“Think of what you showed me. Would I feel reverence for the Divine Beast?”

[…I’m not joking.]

“I’m not joking either. If we leave it like this, the Thunderbird will interfere every time something happens. “I don’t know what he’s thinking, but it’s true that it bothers me.”

Since I did something that was annoying, of course I have to deal with it. If you listen to what Yongyong and Hyuna say, it seems like they have quite different paths from the existing Shinsoo.

“I’m sure you’ll continue to be a nuisance, but please take this opportunity to cooperate.”

[It won’t be easy.]

“You have nothing to lose, right?”

[You know I go out with you, so why do you think I don’t suffer any losses?]

“Oh, that’s right.”

[….]

I went out for a walk with the dog, looking away from Yongyong, who was looking blatantly absurd next to me.

I can catch the thunderbirds by myself, but if you take into account the facts that Yongyong has been talking about, you may catch them all and still miss them.

Then, we need to take action to turn the 99% probability into 100%. One of the means mobilized was the Dog Strengthening Project.

The dog that had already consumed the essence of the artificial divine beast had the potential to become stronger than it is now. So, I plan to roll and roll to make the potential power my own.

Crrr!

Just a short while ago, the dog that was outnumbered when it encountered a Level 8 harmful monster has now risen to a level where it can fight on equal footing. No, now it even seemed overwhelming.

I watched from behind after ordering them to attack the family of level 8 monsters whose remains I found while searching around.

The biggest drawback of doggos is that their immaturity is evident because they are young.

If they had pushed with all their might from the beginning, they would have had the upper hand, but they seem to give up the flow from time to time. It was a problem that arose because they did not think of themselves as strong yet.

“Tsk!”

I didn’t like the sight, so I clicked my tongue and the dog trembled.

Kyaaa!

In the meantime, the monster that had regained its strength rushed forward and the dog fought back without retreating.

In a confrontation where power clashes with power, the dog had a clear advantage. And finally, he succeeded in inflicting a fatal wound by biting the monster’s neck.

If I had done my best from the beginning, I would have caught it a long time ago.

At that time, a monster that was waiting for an opportunity rushed towards the dog.

I tried to see how he would react, but everything I discovered and reacted to was too late.

“Is this too far?”

puck!

The monster that was hit by my sniping was unable to attack the dog and hesitated and was pushed away. Meanwhile, the dog, which had recovered its posture, rushed towards him.

Holding one monster and dealing with another was not a big challenge for the doggo. On the contrary, the more he squeezed out the power, the more the fragmented essence of the artificial divine beast melted, so it was safe to say that he had gained almost infinite power at the moment.

It is important to control the speed and speed of this power, but I thought it would not be easy at the moment.

In the end, the monster couple fell side by side after being fatally wounded by the dog.

“I was good at catching the opponent in front of me, but my view of my surroundings was too narrow. “If I hadn’t helped you, you might have been eaten by that monster couple.”

bruise!

The dog showed that it was reflecting by putting its head down on the floor. Looking at my current state, I felt like I was looking at a young child with great strength.

There’s a long way ahead.

“Let’s go finish up.”

I took the dog and headed to the place where the monster couple’s nest was.

There was a baby monster born to a monster couple. It looks cute now, but when it grows up, it becomes a vicious adult monster that can easily blow up a city.

Those kinds of things need to be cut off early.

“Take care of everything.”

Kiing! Whip!

The dog was unable to respond to my command and only made a groaning sound.

Didn’t you understand what I just said? That can’t be possible.

“What do you want to do now?”

Do you really think it’s pitiful?

The guy who made eye contact with me avoided my gaze and tried to crush me somehow.

You are doing something so foolish.

“Deal with it.”

The dog couldn’t resist my command and bit all the baby monsters to death with eyes that looked like they were about to shed tears at any moment. And he bowed his head. In a way, they are protesting against me.

“I don’t like it.”

How do I do this?

[How can humans be more cruel and monsters be kinder?]

You say you don’t know. The most cruel animals in the world are humans.

The ‘hesitation’ shown by the dog became a matter of concern to me.

The most important thing in battle is to completely destroy anything that will later become a source of trouble.

It is not for no reason to confirm and kill innocent witnesses. I have seen many cases where such a lax mindset has held one back in battle.

In that respect, the dog’s behavior was disappointing. And I had no intention of being with a guy who didn’t meet my expectations.

I’ve paid a high price for raising him, but I don’t think it’s a good sunk cost, so it’s better to give up than to be dragged around.

[Still, isn’t it a waste?]

“There’s a difference between being a waste and being a burden.”

It may help with power, but if it causes you to worry, it’s better not to have it.

[Kill me with that?]

“I won’t kill you.”

Of course, there must be an assumption that the dog meets my standards.

So far, the dog has shown a gentle appearance despite being a monster. I found it to be an advantage in taming it, but it was also a weakness in that it was passive to commands and slow to react when dealing with enemies.

“I’ll try it a few times and if it doesn’t work, I’ll have to find another way.”

And that method will never be in good form.

* * *

Contrary to my dissatisfaction, the popularity of doggos was enormous.

Even Lee Se-hee’s eyes lit up when she saw the dog’s hunting data.

“You’re probably the only one who doesn’t know, Junho? “The dog has a lot of symbolism as a monster that hunts monsters.”

Of course, the doggo was not the first monster to be tamed. However, the higher the level of the monster, the stronger its malefic nature becomes, and the doggo is known to the public as having the power equivalent to level 6 malefic nature.

This boasted a uniquely high level among tamed monsters.

“There are many places in other countries that want to know how to tame monsters. “They probably want to know how to do it at any cost.”

But money isn’t important.

Lee Se-hee also agreed and said that because she knew that, the words would not reach me.

“If you can tame monsters, you won’t have to be dragged around by awakened people anymore.”

That’s why politicians are paying special attention to the existence of doggos.

I’m having strange thoughts about seeing monsters only as monsters.

Do you really think that just because I have low intelligence, I will be loyal?

A passing monster would laugh. They must be thoroughly suppressed with their skills and must periodically show dominance to prevent their evil spirit from exploding.

For politicians to do that, they would have to be more skilled than the awakened people on the front lines, but that can’t be possible.

“I know what you’re thinking, but this is impossible.”

“is that so?”

“A dog is a special case, and even if it is tamed, the person controlling it must be stronger than the monster.”

“It’s difficult.”

In the end, it was said that monsters do not serve weak masters.

Seeing that Lee Se-hee was also disappointed, it seems like she was secretly jealous.

“By the way, Junho.”

“huh?”

“I feel like something has changed.”

“Which one?”

Lee Se-hee also had a puzzled look on her face as she didn’t know what she was talking about.

“I’m not sure about that. “Sometimes I wonder if my momentum just got stronger, but sometimes I don’t think so.”

The only recent change is that the number of gifts increased to 11 with the acquisition of gift sniping. Did the presence of the hematoma create a sense of strangeness?

I thought Lee Se-hee’s sense of detecting that was also extraordinary.

“not a big deal.”

“I’m glad if that’s the case, but if anything happens, please let me know at any time. “I will help if I can.”

“thank you.”

“What.”

Lee Se-hee, who was smiling, changed the topic to the Chinese situation.

“Recently, the Northern Army gained the upper hand.”

The forces united around Wei Hao and Li Zhenhuo were called the Northern Army, and the existing Chinese government forces were called the Southern Army.

The Southern Army said it had recently withdrawn from Beijing and was reorganizing its forces in Nanjing.

“The overall quality is lacking and the numbers are not overwhelming. “More than anything, the dissatisfaction that has been building up for so long is slowly coming out.”

To anyone who could see it, it looked like the Northern Army, with its momentum, would devour all of China.

I didn’t think so though.

Lee Se-hee also had the same thoughts about that. There was no reason for the Confederate army to give up Beijing obediently, but giving up meant that there must have been another plan.

“But it won’t be an easy decision.”

“yes.”

Lee Se-hee also nodded his head in agreement.

“Those in power do whatever they can to protect what they have. “As they have been carrying out all kinds of inhumane experiments, I think they have an ace up their sleeve.”

“Do you have any guesses?”

“I don’t know exactly, but I think I know what you intend.”

“What?”

“The Northern Army declared that it would show itself to be better than the existing government. This is getting a great response. But what happens if that frame breaks?”

“You will be disappointed.”

“Yes, I might actually miss the previous government more. “It must have been a pain that could be easily endured.”

Listening to Lee Se-hee’s words, I am reminded of an experience from my last life. I remember that the Chinese government attempted to control awakened people and tame monsters through a fairy tale training system.

Something happened related to that, but what was it?

“Oh, I remembered.”

“Huh? What is it?”

“never mind.”

It was in China that the world’s first two-horned monster appeared.
