Chapter 32: Villain’s Battle (Part 6)

Kwaaaah!

Commonly known as BJ Pagle.

As internet broadcaster Hong Youngtae smashed into the ground, a moment of silence fell within the battlefield.

Even Sangju’s Strongest Sword, Dokgo Sehwan, and Sangju Mayor Kim Hyunho couldn’t comprehend the current situation.

A mutant falling from the sky out of nowhere…?

Even Youngtae, summoned through the gourd, was equally surprised.

「…Huh? What’s all this?」

This time, he came with a strong ambition to make a great achievement, but the atmosphere was unusual.

A large mutant whose head had already fallen off, Jeong Yeongwoo, and another Strongest Sword.

「why…….」

「There are two First Swords? 」

Before Yeongtae’s last words could be pronounced, Yeongwoo swung his sword with golden eyes flashing.

Damn it!

It was aimed at none other than Sangju First Sword Dokgo Sehwan.

“No, you crazy bastard?”

It was an unexpected surprise attack, but because Sehwan had the upper hand in abilities, he was able to barely block Yeongwoo’s blade.

Chaeaeang!

Two silver-white blades met near Sehwan’s neck.

Then, an enormous text appeared before Yeongwoo’s eyes.

「Sensory values have temporarily increased from the original 480 to 808.」

“…!”

A sensory value of 808.

It had taken away the senses of both Sangju’s Strongest Sword and the Mayor.

Now, in a sensory battle, no one in the audience could defeat him.

“Youngtae! Kill this guy first!”

As Yeongwoo shouted again, Sehwan, who was blocking his sword, looked bewildered and frightened at the same time.

“….”

He had known nothing until now and was shocked by the unbelievable fact he witnessed with his own eyes.

In this world, there was a Strongest Sword that is in collusion with mutants.

He’s even in the process of collaborating with a mutant right now.

Kim Hyunho, the Sangju Mayor, was still holding out behind him like a fortress.

In other words.

‘He’s planning to kill me while leaving the mutant alone…?’

Indeed.

A huge creature with a long snout was already rushing towards him.

‘Is this real? Am I dreaming right now?’

Sehwan, struggling to fend off various attacks from both sides, was shocked by the fact that even now, he could not believe.

His many accumulated combat experiences were indicating that it would be difficult to survive this time.

Chaeng!

Shit!

The beast’s claws and the early bird’s blades were completely different from the usual, making it extremely challenging to block alternately.

Despite the support of Sangju Swordsmanship, Sehwan had to move his body himself.

“Ik…!”

Eventually, before twenty counts passed, Sehwan’s breathing lost its original pace and became erratic.

“Aaaah!”

Sehwan, who had never expected today to be his last, made an unclear sound, whether a scream or a shout.

Yeongwoo also noticed that his opponent had lost composure, and he threw a dagger behind Sehwan.

Hwaeat!

He planned to retrieve the dagger on the next attack moment of Youngtae and strike from behind.

And soon.

Shi-iik!

Youngtae, swinging his heavy arm, rushed towards Sehwan.

Yeongwoo, having retrieved the dagger stuck in the distant ground, also aimed for Sehwan’s neck while swinging the early bird.

Chaeng!

While aiming for Sehwan’s neck, he didn’t forget to swing the early bird.

Chaeng!

In essence, it was a three-sided attack, and even Sehwan, who had shown a defense skill close to magic, had to allow effective hits this time.

Pit!

He couldn’t avoid the dagger flying from behind.

The returning dagger, grazing his side diagonally, pierced Sehwan’s side, soaked in blood, and lodged into Yeongwoo’s belt.

From this point, the course of the battle changed.

“Ugh…!”

Sehwan’s movements, who had been fighting well until now, became noticeably rough.

‘Could it be?’

Sensing something, Yeongwoo pushed Youngtae aside and also stepped back.

At that moment, reflexively swinging his sword, Dokgo Sehwan twisted his body and half-sat down.

“Ugh…!”

Sehwan, holding his side with a shielded hand, contorted his face in pain.

Yeongwoo was certain.

‘It activated, Golden Punishment.’

「Golden Punishment」 – Legendary Bracelet

【Inflicts pain on enemies.】

The effect of inflicting pain would only activate when dealing a blow to the opponent.

Of course, Yeongwoo couldn’t know how much pain this would cause.

What was clear is that it was enough to make someone as formidable as Sangju’s Strongest Sword stop the fight.

“What… What is this? It hurts so much.”

Even though it wasn’t a significant wound, Youngtae looked at Yeongwoo with a puzzled expression as if he were surprised that his opponent was about to die.

He suspected that this guy had used some trick.

Of course, it was true.

“We need to finish this quickly.”

As Yeongwoo raised his sword threateningly, Sehwan, who had been kneeling on one knee, raised his shield while gritting his teeth.

However, in a state where attention was partially distracted due to intense pain, he was pushed even in a one-on-one confrontation with Yeongwoo.

He barely blocked about five strikes but showed a flaw.

Chwi-iit!

From Yeongwoo’s perspective, it was a simple stab targeting the space between the collarbone and neck, but Sehwan, trying to push it aside diagonally, failed to time it properly, and Yeongwoo’s early bird pierced through his shoulder muscles.

Phook!

Once the blade entered his body, the rest happened swiftly.

Without removing the blade stuck in the opponent’s body, Yeongwoo pulled out the dagger from his belt and stabbed it under Sehwan’s chin.

Phook!

Like lightning, the iron needle penetrated through the guy’s jaw, and blood flowed down like a stream.

…Creep!

However, Sehwan still had strength left in his body, so Yeongwoo immediately swung his left-hand shield, smashing the skull.

Kwajak!

Then, Sehwan’s upper body lost strength all at once, and his body flowed down to the ground.

The early bird and the dagger were firmly embedded in various places, including the trapezius and the head.

“… ”

Youngtae looked at the brutally damaged corpse of Sehwan and thought of skewers or something similar, but he couldn’t bring himself to say it out loud.

It had been happening since a while ago; his body was disappearing.

It was time for his return.

「Huh?」

As Youngtae made a bewildered sound and disappeared into the air, the large shadow he had been casting also vanished.

But there was still a much larger shadow remaining.

「Impressive. Is something like this happening elsewhere?」

Sangju Mayor Kim Hyunho.

He was still holding a sword on the ground, looking at Yeongwoo with a head held in his left hand.

Even while two Strongest Swords and a mutant were entangled in a fight in front of him, he hadn’t moved a single step.

After all, why bother interfering when the enemies were fighting among themselves.

“I don’t know how things are going in other neighborhoods. It’s only the second day since the reset.”

Yeongwoo provided a kind response, keeping in mind that the opponent was experiencing the world after the reset for the first time, just like the mutants from the past.

「Two days? It’s only been two days since…?」

Kim Hyunho showed signs of confusion for the first time.

However, his appearance holding his severed head was still gruesome, and after looking around for a moment, he swung his attacking weapon indiscriminately.

「Anyway, you better disappear now. You seem like a dangerous one.」

Hwaeaeaeak!

“…!”

Yeongwoo widened his eyes as the guy’s sword seemed faster than before.

‘Oh no, my senses have decreased since Dokgo Sehwan died.’

[Translator – Night]

[Proofreader – Gun]

Currently, Yeongwoo’s senses had returned to 480.

In addition, with Youngtae gone, he was now in a situation where he had to handle the fight alone.

Pahat!

Yeongwoo quickly sensed a ruthless blade passing over his lowered head and bit down on it.

‘The only way to increase my power now is to take the equipment that guy has.’

As Yeongwoo approached the body of Sangju’s Strongest Sword, Kim Hyunho rushed in and swung his sword down at Yeongwoo.

Kwaaah!

“Ugh…!”

Although he managed to narrowly evade the attack again, in return, Dokgo Sehwan’s body was split in half, bouncing into the air.

This time, Yeongwoo noticed that a violet bracelet was filled on the corpse’s wrist, but he couldn’t retrieve it.

「You’re dead…!」

Immediately, Kim Hyunho, with a shadow cast on his son-in-law, charged forward.

With the black horse’s body, which was like a pair of scissors, the guy’s height reached 5 meters, giving Yeongwoo the feeling of fighting against a tank.

‘How did this crazy guy appear so soon?’

Even the Gumi Sword Technique was advising not to directly block the guy’s sword.

There was no chance in a strength battle.

On the contrary, Yeongwoo had the upper hand in terms of the total amount of sense, so Kim Hyunho’s blade didn’t achieve much. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ N𝘰vᴇlFire(.)nᴇt website on G𝘰𝘰gle to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It only caused the ground to tremble, raising dust, and nothing more.

Kwaquk!

Once again, a futile strike caused debris from the sidewalk blocks to fly in all directions.

From this point on, Kim Hyunho’s composure broke.

「This crazy bastard!」

Fundamentally, he was still human, which was why the effects of the rage and frustation were kicking in.

Moreover, he hadn’t returned here to dance with a kid playing with a sword all day.

What he wanted was to deliver punishment to the public who judged him.

“This…!”

With an enraged voice, Kim Hyunho raised his sword again, but suddenly, he blinked and turned his gaze somewhere else.

‘What’s going on?’

At a similar moment, Yeongwoo also detected some movement and turned to look in the same direction as Kim Hyunho.

Then.

“There!”

“What, what is this? Isn’t that too big?”

It could be seen that a considerable number of people armed to some extent were rushing towards them.

Judging by their speed alone, it was evident that they weren’t ordinary people.

Probably…

‘The monster hunters of Sangju City.’

Whether called monster hunters, privileged, hunters, or superhumans, there was no longer any standard or norm.

‘Why did these crazy guys come here? Could it be that the woman sent them to help her husband?’

Yeongwoo remembered that Sangju’s Strongest Sword’s wife was still alive.

When he started fighting with Sangju’s Strongest Sword at the honeymoon motel, she disappeared somewhere.

“…”

Anyway, at this point, it wasn’t important.

What was truly crucial was…

Kwuduk!

Kim Hyunho turned his body in the direction of the ‘reinforcements.’

Since there was no answer, it seemed that fighting endlessly wouldn’t yield results. So, he wanted to kill the small fries first to enjoy the fun.

‘I’ll be indebted to him.’

Kwung!

Kim Hyunho, shaking the ground, rushed out to greet the monster hunters, and Yeongwoo took advantage of the opportunity to approach Dokgo Sehwan’s corpse.

More precisely, he rummaged through the remains of the guy lying far away.

Ta-at!

However, an unexpected event occurred.

“…?”

The moment Yeongwoo cast a shadow over Dokgo Sehwan’s head, the guy’s eyelids trembled.

“Huh?”

At first, Yeongwoo thought he might have seen it wrong or that it was due to the ground vibrations.

‘What the fuck… he’s breathing?’

Surprisingly, the guy’s chest swelled and sank repeatedly, even though his head was half destroyed, and his body was torn apart.

‘Does this make sense? Even if he has high durability…’

While Yeongwoo was gaping in disbelief, a tremendous noise and people’s screams came from behind.

The Mayor was happily chopping up the monster hunters.

‘Damn it, there’s no time.’

Yeongwoo didn’t even have the luxury to marvel at what seemed like a miracle.

He immediately swung the early bird to completely cut off Dokgo Sehwan’s breath.

Afterward, he took off the bracelet the guy had.

Thud.

As Yeongwoo removed the violet bracelet, the tooltip floated into his view, revealing the identity of the miraculous item he had just witnessed.

「Slime’s Core」 – Mutant Bracelet

【Significant increase in regeneration.】

Regeneration increase.

The reason why Dokgo Sehwan, who was practically just a lump of meat, didn’t die completely was because of this.

‘Wait… there was an item like this?’

However, the astonishing event didn’t end there.

「You have become Sangju’s Strongest Sword!」

…You have three Strongest Sword titles in the Gyeongbuk region.

「You have become Gyeongbuk’s Strongest Sword (Advanced)!」

…You are currently the only Gyeongbuk’s Strongest Sword (Advanced) in the Gyeongbuk region.

‘Wait a minute, if that’s the case…’

In accordance with the rules of the same title system he had seen before, the one who accumulated the most titles among Gyeongbuk’s Strongest Swords (Advanced) would be promoted to Gyeongbuk’s Strongest Sword.

In other words.

‘I’m the only candidate.’

As Yeongwoo thought this, in the midst of the ongoing parade of notifications, he realized something and widened his eyes.

‘Now, if this happens…’

Amidst the continuous parade of notifications, Yeongwoo realized something and widened his eyes.

「You have been elected as Gyeongbuk’s Strongest Sword!」

「The current Gyeongbuk’s Strongest Sword is ‘Jeong Yeongwoo07.’ Rank 1, 0 defense.」

Next, Yeongwoo received a warning message.

「From now on, all Gyeongbuk’s Strongest Swords (Advanced) elected will receive real-time updates on your location.」
