The Crazy Villain Regains His Sanity

Chapter 243

Episode 243:

Faith is faith.

After much deliberation, a conclusion was reached, but that alone did not bring about a miracle where everything was resolved smoothly.

Ultimately, you have to check the performance.

We’ll have to see if the gift of force refining can really force faith on me.

I took the dog along that path and went hunting. And the first thing I did was to use force refining to see how much damage I could inflict on the monster.

The place where the dog and I arrived was a mountainous area entering Gangwon-do.

This place was actually abandoned by the government of the Republic of Korea, and was originally abandoned because the population was sparse and it was good for monsters to create an ecosystem.

Currently, South Korea has restored most of its densely populated areas and is minimizing power loss by leaving mountainous areas that are difficult for people to live in.

So this is a playground where I can run wild.

What I’m trying to hunt is a level 8 harmful monster. In the past, it was treated as a force that could destroy a nation, but now it has been reduced to a level where I can only gauge its combat power.

There were a lot of cute names to give them, but since they haven’t been officially released, there’s no need to give them any.

The first thing I noticed as I looked around was a flying monster flying across the sky at a great height.

It was moving through the sky at a slow speed, as if to show off that this was its territory.

It may be the confidence that comes from knowing that there is no one who can oppose you, but to me, it was a large target that moved at a reasonable speed.

“Sometime.”

I activated sniping and began to strengthen its power through force refining.

First of all, there was a need to check this ambiguous ‘belief’ when using gifts.

How much does the power of a gift vary depending on the type of belief?

I tried to strengthen my power by putting faith in my appearance.

I, who went around killing villains and monsters, am now an idol. It was still something I couldn’t believe. But we can’t ignore the numbers we can see.

Anyway, I could feel the bullet gaining strength due to force refining.

puck!

It hit the flying monster as it was.

But that’s all.

The flying monster trembled, but did not take any significant damage.

Kyaaa!

Instead, it looked at me and roared full of anger. And then it started flying toward me with ferocious force.

It’s exactly as expected. The power wasn’t that dramatic either.

I prepared the next bullet. This time it is faith in the actions I am taking. I was still confused, but I was somewhat confident that I was achieving good results.

puck!

And this time there was a blow. The wing of the monster that the bullet hit had a hole in it and was torn apart.

I definitely felt that when I gave faith, the power of the Force became stronger. The current level of reinforcement was at a clumsy level, so it was at the level of encouraging the monster to go crazy.

“last.”

These are just testing stages. Following the first, the power of the second was definitely improved.

A gift whose power changes depending on your beliefs. It occurred to me that the world is wide and there are many amazing gifts.

Finally, I firmly believed that I was not crazy and fired the bullet.

Paaaat!

Even the sound was different. The furiously rotating bullet split the space and was fired at a speed so fast that it was difficult to follow it with my eyes.

It hit the head of a flying monster that was approaching and boom! With that sound, the head was crushed like tofu.

It was a different speed and a different level of power.

thud!

A headless body crashed to the ground with a thick gush of blood.

“….”

I was speechless for a moment due to the clearly different power.

I thought that Force refining would be a gift with great power, but I never thought that just choosing the object of faith would lead to such a sharp difference.

“If it’s like this.”

It seemed like it would be enough to inflict damage on monsters and divine beasts.

I was deeply concerned about whether I should aim for the head as ignorantly as I did during the time of Cheonmagapgui, but I never thought I would receive a gift like this. At this level, I was willing to help out a few times even if a two-horned monster appeared in Europe.

It is a gift given by God, so it is definitely good.

Here, the ego also exists, and depending on how it is exploited, it is possible to merge it.

The saint gave me a great gift.

[Well, there are all these outrageous things!]

There is a sense in which Yongyong’s violent reaction can be quite damaging.

If the power wasn’t that great, my impressions would have been mediocre.

Because he was an honest guy who expressed his emotions, I was able to gauge his power by looking at his reactions.

For reference, when I put my appearance and way of life into Force refining, his reaction was calm.

What I need now is to master Force refining so that it becomes as natural as breathing.

“Just kill the monster and kill it again.”

The only thing better than this kind of repetitive work is a life-threatening battle.

Of course, I like a moderate level of risk.

Force refining seemed to be getting used to it smoothly.

What’s more encouraging than anything else.

“After all, I am sane.”

I was satisfied with the fact that I had a firm belief in my own sanity, without the slightest doubt.

* * *

I wandered around Gangwon-do, visiting monster habitats. In the process, I hunted countless monsters, but I wasn’t very satisfied.

The reason was that the level of the monster was not as high as expected.

You can increase your skill in force refining by hunting monsters, but you need to check how powerful you are against strong guys.

I needed a strong monster that I could feel a reasonable amount of thrill from.

Ah, being strong here means at least the plus level.

Because of that, I brought a dog, but it wasn’t doing well at all.

I brushed the puppy.

“Are there any stronger guys out there?”

bruise!

The dog pretends to look for it and then reports that it is not there. I even had doubts about whether that guy was really looking or just pretending.

Has your head gotten bigger these days? If you keep giving it away like this, it only reinforces the idea that you need to beat it regularly.

Naturally, my eyes towards the doggy became sharper.

“Then it’s no fun. “You can’t do what you want to do.”

bruise!

“If this situation continues, you may have to deal with it.”

bruise! Woof woof! bruise!

The dog suddenly started barking urgently and declared that it would come find the monster.

Yes, even if you can’t find it, such a desperate attitude is necessary. After sending the dog to search, I went out to look for monsters detected nearby.

What was discovered was a harmful level 8 monster.

I wanted to find a plus level monster, but it’s a shame.

Still, since I found it, I have no intention of just passing it by.

Now that I think about it, Lee Se-hee had a hard time talking about me sending weapons to the Confederacy, but for me, it wasn’t that difficult.

Screwing China? Of course it’s good. But that doesn’t mean I’m willing to risk a huge loss.

That’s because making money is very easy for me.

puck!

A monster that fell down with its head shattered by a bullet. You can earn at least KRW 1 trillion with just your heart, and up to KRW 3 trillion if you apply blood and flesh well. I didn’t come to collect the by-products, so I took the heart and tore the body to pieces with a storm of blades.

Yes, if you put in a little effort like this, you can earn 1 trillion in an instant.

And when I came to Gangwon-do, I had earned more than 5 trillion won in just a few hours.

“It’s easy to make money.”

Since you no longer attach much importance to money, you can do many different things.

By the way, when is the dog going to come visit?

But it seems like the dog doesn’t have the talent to find something that isn’t there.

I searched all over Gangwon-do, but ultimately failed to find a plus level monster.

* * *

“Heh heh heh!”

The President let out a hollow laugh after reading Choi Jun-ho’s Gangwon-do hunting report.

He shook his head, laughed, and made a serious expression, but then his expression relaxed. Cheon Myeong-guk, who was watching the scene, became curious and handed over the document.

“You see too.”

“….”

Cheon Myeong-guk, who received the document, was at a loss for words when he saw what was written inside.

It was only one day. No, if you count the hunting time alone, it’s about 10 hours. If you subtract the travel time from this, it will be reduced by at least half.

However, during that time, Choi Jun-ho hunted six level 8 monsters.

The monster that appeared in the human realm could destroy the nation, and it was grabbed like a chicken by the head. No, the word massacre might be better suited to this.

“I’ve never seen a faster hunting pace than this. On the contrary, I am worried that we should stop them and ask them to do it in moderation because it is causing ecological chaos.”

“I am even more surprised because I am also an awakened person. Choi Jun-ho’s superhuman strength goes beyond common sense. No, it is a state that transcends human limitations.”

It was a blessing that such a superhuman appeared in Korea. At the same time, because it was a bomb that could explode at any moment, I felt an eerie feeling.

The President also responded in the same way.

“It seems so. And you have to handle such a superhuman.”

“You have to do it. Choi Jun-ho We need to bring superhumans into the system and manage them endlessly. It is a risk that can be easily tolerated. But if the official heads in the wrong direction….”

“The blade of Choi Jun-ho will point in this direction.”

To prevent that, the president recommended Cheon Myeong-guk to run for president. Cheon Myeong-guk also accepted the offer because he knew that it was something only he could do.

Jeong Joo-ho has a chance, but he is not very interested in politics. Cheon Myeong-guk put down Choi Jun-ho’s hunting report, thinking that if he became president, he would have to manage it so that Jeong Ju-ho could succeed him.

“First, I will ask you to stop hunting. If you mess around like this, monsters may come out of nowhere. “What is needed now is not hunting monsters, but preventing accidents that may occur elsewhere due to the butterfly effect.”

“Can I leave it to you?”

Cheon Myeong-guk is a specialist in this field. Above all, there was a need to consistently show Cheon Myeong-guk taking the lead in resolving the incident.

Cheon Myeong-guk, who showed his will to power, also no longer backed down.

“I’ll take care of it right away.”

* * *

How could I wander around for two days and not find a single plus-level monster?

I didn’t take my anger out on the dog, but my appetite was bitter. I don’t know when our country became such a monster-free country.

In the meantime, we were asked to stop, saying that ecological chaos was expected.

Nothing is going right.

When I stopped hunting and went to the Blue House, Cheon Myeong-guk greeted me with a very sad expression.

“I tried to ease Director Cheon’s worries, but it turned out to be unfortunate.”

“…I just want to say thank you. But instead of making it easier for me, I will end up having to work overtime, so next time, please let me know in advance.”

“Of course.”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

There seems to be a limit to wandering around in the former South Korea due to the large population. Next time, I will go to the former North Korea area and look for monsters.

However, due to the northward advance policy, continuous clearing operations were taking place here as well, so there were not as many high-ranking monsters as expected.

I took care of all the ones that Ryu Gwang-cheol had tamed, and since Yongyong was based on Mt. Baekdu, other monsters didn’t even bother me.

This is all because of Yongyong.

[Why is it suddenly my fault?]

Even if you whine and say it’s unfair, if it’s your fault, it’s your fault. If you’re dissatisfied, why don’t you keep a few pet monsters like Hyuna?

[You mean to kill them all with your own hands!]

Let’s say that killing them means becoming a stepping stone for my growth.

[under! [This is ridiculous!]

Regardless of whether Yongyong was complaining or not, I was quite embarrassed in a situation where I wanted to check my performance.

In this case, the only way to find plus level monsters would be overseas, and the process is more cumbersome than expected.

When I went to China and looked for it, I found that the three northeastern provinces, which were the headquarters of the North Korean army, were completely overrun with awakened people.

Is there any other way?

Did heaven at least recognize my concerns?

Three days later, a report was received that a plus level marine monster had appeared in Okinawa, Japan and was devastating the coast day after day. And a request came in from Japan asking if I could personally invite them to hunt monsters.

In Japan, there was a vacuum in superhuman security due to the death of Gunji due to the previous artificial divine beast essence incident. Above all, sea monsters were evaluated one level higher than land monsters, so the plus level was actually treated as a fight.

Cheon Myeong-guk spoke to me cautiously.

“This is an unreasonable proposition. “You are free to refuse.”

“Why are you rejecting this?”

“yes?”

“Of course I plan to help.”

How long can plus-level sea monsters last?

I felt like my body was itching to try using force refining.

“Superman.”

“yes.”

“You’re smiling so brightly.”

“Oh, is that so?”

When Cheon Myeong-guk pointed out, I touched the corner of my mouth. Without realizing it, the corners of my mouth were curled up.

“It’s because I can contribute to peace in Okinawa.”

“….”

“Let’s do it like that.”

Anyway, I was genuinely happy.
