Chapter 59
I observed the man in front of me.
Mid 30s, M-shaped hair loss, and a bulging belly.
In addition, a plain face without any notable features.
At a first glance, rather than a villain who would commit such an act of terrorism, he looked like an ordinary office worker.
However, everything couldnt be judged on appearance alone.
That was because Red Velvet Curse was shaking violently and signaling me.
The man in front of me was a villain.
Hmm
But who the hell was this guy?
The previous attack was clearly aimed at me, but no matter how hard I observed him, I didnt know who he was.
Did I do something that could involve a villain like this?
Before I knew it, he had regained a calm look.
And rather, he was staring at me with hostility even though his body was bound.
Ahjussi, who are you? Do I know you?
He raised a corner of his mouth and let out a despicable laugh.
KeukueIm your daddy!
My father?
It seemed this guy didnt know what had happened to my father.
Even if he hadnt provoked me, I was going to treat him like my father soon anyway.
But as long as my heros performance was at stake, I had to find out what this guys purpose was.
His face crumpled and he spoke in a threatening tone.
Let me give you a piece of advice. If you dont release me right now, youll regret it.
Why?
HeheYoull find out soon enough, punkKuaaak!
I used to break one of his knees.
Puk!
The joint twisted in a deformed direction, piercing through the flesh as his foot reached all the way back.
He fell to the ground with cold sweats. Then, he looked at me with bloodshot eyes and spoke.
Keu-keukPunkDo you think youll be okay after doing this? This is a violation of the Oversuppression ActKeuuok!
He seemed to be in full spirit, so I bent the other leg. Now it looked somewhat balanced.
Well, I was going to interrogate him anyway and legs werent exactly needed.
Meanwhile, citizens who were scattered around me began to gather one by one.
Now, perhaps because they thought the matter was over, but they all excitedly took out their smartphone cameras.
And not long afterwards, police officers armed with guns appeared among the crowd. There were at least ten of them.
Their eyes turned to the man hanging in the air.
Immediately, they pointed their guns at me and shouted.
Dont move! Release the hostage and surrender this instant!
It seemed there was some misunderstanding because of the villains harmless appearance that resembled an office worker. But I wasnt very worried.
I had obtained a hero license just for such cases.
Smiling to myself, I spoke.
Wait! Im not the villain here. Im a hero and hes the villain!
How can we believe that?!
Please wait a second.
I took out my hero license and activated it. In the air, along with the Heros Association mark in hologram, records related to my identity appeared.
The officers looked at it for a moment before nodding and immediately lowering their guns.
One of the officers who appeared to be the leader, lifted his brim hat and spoke.
Im terribly sorry about this. We didnt know you were a hero. We ran in a hurry after receiving a report, so we were late to figure out the situation.
Hey? Come to think of it, arent you that famous Choi Noah?! Its such an honor to meet you here!
Their behaviors had changed 180 degrees from before. Their faces were filled with smiles of goodwill.
As expectedits good to be a hero.
I couldnt believe I could hunt villains and get so much respect from the citizens.
Well, it seems the case is over, so well begin to control the scene.
I see.
The officer bowed to me and walked closer.
I freed the man who had been bound and he fell to the ground with a shriek.
Meanwhile, the officers began to wrap around me and do their work.
Im sorry to trouble you, but if you could cooperate and come with us for a moment
The officer who seemed to be the leader approached me with a servile smile.

At that moment,
Jingle!
Red Velvet Curse, which was worn on my waist, vibrated.
I immediately drew it and cut off the head of the officer in front of me.
Swiik!
Thud!
The officers head fell straight to the ground.
Blood spewed out of the neck like a fountain, and a rainbow appeared in the clear sunlight for a moment.
Those who saw it froze on the spot without any reaction.
A second later, citizens who were watching the scene began to scream in unison.
Kyaaaak! Murder!
Wh-what the hell are you doing?! Why?
One of the other officers had a stunned expression as he looked at me. And I, who was standing in front of him, noticed Red Velvet Curse vibrating again.
Swiik!
In an instant, two bodies had fallen to the ground. One of the officers scowled and shouted.
Shit! How did he find out?
Since its like this, lets give up the 5 million points. Kill him and get at least 500,000 points! Everyone, attack!
The remaining officers aimed their guns at me.
Dudududu!
I quickly transformed my body into gas as the citizens around me were pierced by the gunfire.
Kkeuaak!
Keuk!
Screams were heard everywhere as the citizens trembled, lying face down on the ground.
A moment later,
ClickClick
Once the bullets were exhausted in an instant, one of them shouted.
Fuck! Bullets didnt work on that punk! What should we do, boss?
Do you even have to ask? Go with plan C!
Saying so, they immediately turned their backs and began to flee in different directions.
It seemed the strategy was to have at least one person survive somehow.
But I had no intention of letting them go. I swung my arm at their retreating backs.
Originally, it wasnt a very strong skill, but it was a different story when 5.0 mana was applied.
Highly compressed blades of wind shot out in all directions at once.
Swiik
Shiik
Their heads separated from their bodies as they fell in a running position.
Good. I got them all.
Fortunately, there was no one else standing around me in one piece.
Anyway, what the hell was going on here?
Just a moment ago, I was worried about where to find a villain, but why were so many villains coming at me?
There was no way there were any more left, right?
The moment I thought so,
?!
Suddenly, I felt a sharp energy behind my back. I immediately activated my shield with no worries.
And then
Boom!
A heavy impact struck my shield. I could see a thick barbed spear giving off sparks as it fell to the ground.
Turning my head, I saw a man taking out another spear from the roof of one of the nearby buildings.
So there was more.
I grabbed the spear that had fallen on the ground. Then, I focused my mana into my hand and aimed it at him.
Wuung!
My mana was pushed to the limit as the spear vibrated violently.
And when it was finally hard to suppress the energy any longer, I threw the spear I was holding.
Boom!
Along with a deafening sonic boom, a clear red line appeared between me and the man.
The man who was struck by the spear burst like a water balloon, scattering blood and flesh in all directions.
HuuI overdid it.
In fact, even in the first round, I didnt practice throwing much because I couldnt feel the taste in my hand, so maybe my posture was a little clumsy.
I massaged my stiff shoulders.
Should I go home and ask Elizabeth to give me a massage?
I didnt know where she had learned it, but the magic massage she had given me was quite satisfactory, even for me who was strict.
Well, I was going to stop by the house later to take a shower anyway.
But suddenly, I could no longer continue such thoughts.
Damn it! Its not the time for us to compete against each other. Lets kill him first!
A sudden voice behind my back. Among the citizens who were lying on the ground, some stood up and started running at me.
What? There was more?
A high school girl who was running away crying threw a grenade at me out of the blue, and a masked man hiding on the ground aimed a knife at my crotch.
Swiik
I swung my sword wildly.
They had disguised themselves as ordinary citizens, but it was very meaningless.
Jingle!
Each time Red Velvet Curse vibrated, I would cut off the head of anyone I could see.
But where in the world did they come from? Really, they appeared endlessly while throwing themselves at me.
As a result, I had no choice but to become soaked in blood. It would be hard to even recognize my face now if anyone saw me.
How long has it been? The peaceful lake park was covered in bright red blood and flesh by the time everyone who had come at me was eliminated. Such a landscape was clearly illuminated by the sunlight.
I looked at it and breathed out a long breath.
HuuNow this should be it, right?
Since so many had rushed at me to the point where I had even leveled up while killing, it seemed unlikely anymore would appear here.
But at that moment,
?!
I didnt know if it was because of what I had said, but suddenly, I felt an immense mana activity on the side of the lake.
A distinct presence that was unlike the others. Ice formed in the lake and began to rise slowly.
And at some point, the ice had turned into a giant golem. On either shoulders sat a man and woman.
Indeed, just like the rumors.
Indeed, as the rumor has it.
They looked down at me with an exalted expression. Then, as if they were in a comic dialogue, they exchanged sentences with each other.
I didnt expect it to be this degree.
But!
Compared to our power.
Its insignificant!
Now 5 million points.
Is ours!
At the end of their speech, the ice golem from the lake rose up and came on land.
Boom! Boom!
The ground shook as if there was an earthquake. The portable toilets nearby bounced and wobbled with each step.
I didnt know who they were, and certainly, their level was different from those I had dealt with so far.
Perhaps this was the trump card the people who had attacked me before were preparing for.
In addition, my stamina and mana had been greatly reduced due to the continuous battles.
Its our chance when hes tired.
Now is our chance!
Freeze and capture him.
Lets go!
Perhaps they were aware of my condition, so they chatted merrily.
But
[ activated. ]
[ activated. ]
The ice golem didnt mean much to me.
Well, if they had prepared any other attribute or form of attack, it might have been a little difficult.
Well turn you into a lump of ice.
Freeze! Lets freeze him!
The ice golems fist, clasped in frigid air, fell down toward me.
Swiik!
However, I had easily cut it off.
The mass of ice diffused in all directions, covering the surrounding area in ice.
Although it was as if I was lightly dressed in the middle of winter, even with this cold air, I didnt feel much abnormality with my body.
H-how! Hes okay even after touching the frost giant?
What a lunatic! Honey! Did you forget to adjust the cold air?
The bewildered couple looked at me as if they couldnt understand the situation.
I shouldnt drag this out.
It was impossible for them to beat me with the ice golem no matter what kind of attack they had prepared.
In any case, I immediately rode on one of the arms of the ice golem before jumping onto one of its shoulders.
Behind me, along with a red trajectory, mana burst from my feet as the arm of the golem I had stepped on broke.
Wa-waitKeuk!
Swiik!
I cut off the mans head first.
No! Honey! You son of a bitch! Ill freeze you and turn you into a statueKeuk!
Swiik
The woman on the other shoulder was treated with .
Their heads fell on the frozen ground, shattering and scattering blood in all directions.
When I was done with them, the solid ice golem began to crack and break.
Boom!
Finally, there came silence in the park.
Just pieces of broken ice glittering in the sun. There was no one left around me.
Thisit was too much fun.
As I was cutting this and that in an excited mood, I had killed all the people who were supposed to be questioned.
Hmm
It seemed it would be really annoying if I wanted to get recognized for my performanceWas there any good way?
When I was very worried, something wriggling caught my eyes.
Ah! Right.
Come to think of it, that fellow was still here. The man whose legs were broken a while ago was desperately crawling on the ground with both arms.
Heu-heuk!
As I approached him, he looked up at me with startled eyes. He immediately spoke in a trembling voice.
I-II-Im sorry. P-please, spare my life
Dont worry. Im not going to kill you.
Th-thank you! Thank you!
At least not here.
Wh-what?
I had to first get the information I wanted out of him. So, this guy cant die yet.
N-no!
I moved his arms and made him strangle himself.
Soon, he fainted after having his blood flow stopped.
Anyway
When I thought of my plan to interrogate him, I couldnt think of a suitable place to torture him.
I thought Samaria would interfere if I brought him back to school, and it was clear that Choi Bokhui would be furious if I took him home, saying that I had brought someone without permission again.
Hmm
Was there no good place?
A moderately spacious area with good enough security and deserted so nobody would know if I disposed of the body.
The moment I thought about it, suddenly, a good idea occurred to me.
Ah! I can use that place.
Elf Garden. The place where Elizabeth used to live would be suitable for dealing with these things.
Not only that, magic traps were set up and there were all kinds of facilities
It would be difficult to find a better place.
I should call Elizabeth and move him there first.
Just as I was about to contact her,
Stop, villain!
Suddenly, dozens of people shouted as they came running towards me.
Huh? Was this deja vu?
Somehow, it felt similar to the situation from earlier
It seemed there were still remnants of those guys. There really was no end to villains.
Lets quickly get rid of them and then call Elizabeth.
Wuung
I drew Red Velvet Curse again. At that moment,
Ah, ah! Noah!
Someone shouted loudly among the people who had been giving me a ferocious look.
Hmm?
As I turned my head, I saw a man with a shaggy beard looking at me with his eyes wide open.
It was Hairy who I had parted ways with a few months ago in Guangcheng District.
Huh? What was he doing here?
Did he become a villain or something in the time since I last saw him? But he wasnt the only one that yelled at me.
Wait! Choi Noah! Why are you here?
I turned around, and standing there was a woman as large as Hairy.
It was Kim Taehi, who had served as my meat shield in the hotel terrorist incident.
Why was she here and not in Pyongyang?
While I was in a state of doubt, she hurried to inform her party.
W-wait! Stand down! Stand down!
What? Whats going on?
The man, who seemed to be the leader of the group, looked at Kim Taehi. Kim Taehi obstructed the man and answered.
I know that child very well. Hes a hero!
You can still say that with how much blood is on his face?
The man looked around with a stunned expression. Everywhere his eyes met, cut bodies could be seen.
B-butThis kid is definitely a hero! I can guarantee that. You dont know Choi Noah? Hes been on the news a lot.
Choi Noah?
Only then did the man observe me again. And moments later,
Sure enoughthats true. Thats the face Ive seen on the news.
He nodded and spoke to me.
Nice to meet you, Choi Noah. My name is Spiral Man, an A-Rank hero.
Hero? How can I believe that?
Haawait a minute.
As I gave him a questioning look, the man immediately activated his hero license and a hologram was displayed.
It seemed this time it was really a hero. The man sighed briefly before putting away his hero license.
He continued.
Butif I remember correctly, you should still be at the hero training institute as a trainee hero. Can you explain what the hell is going on here?
The mans expression turned sharp. To put pressure on me with a subtle aura, it could be seen that he was prepared to suppress me if need be at any moment.
I smiled and replied.
Please wait a moment. Let me call someone.
It would have been a very difficult situation to deal with everything here, but I wasnt very worried.
HeheI hope you can take responsibility for your actions.
Coincidentally, I had a very reliable professor who had promised to take responsibility for her student.
