The Crazy Demigod Returns

first

infancy. That is, when it wasn’t long after the gate crisis broke out.

About 10 years ago from now. Paik Kun-woo once had a meal with CEO Lim in front of him.

About 2 years to be exact.

At the time, CEO Lim, who quickly established himself as an awakening person and preoccupied the market, was also the one who scouted Paik Kun-woo from Busan and brought him to Seoul.

Representative Lim then and now CEO Lim were no different. It’s just that Paik Kun-woo didn’t know at the time.

A person who was marinated in greed, only thinking about how to earn more money, become successful, and approach the center of power as an awakened person who has become a new era.

That was the essence of CEO Lim, which Paik Kun-wu realized, albeit belatedly.

All the Awakeners who were tempted by the high amount of money and hoped to join the guild because the reputation of the guild increased were only accessories to him.

The problem was that he was very good at politics, reign, and pretense.

Although he was no different from a founding member, Paik Geon-woo focused only on handling monsters and enhancing his own abilities. I didn’t recognize his true face for a long time.

Higher Awoken are mostly torn for power distribution.

The fact that he did not accompany the majority of the subjugation was also one of the main reasons why he could not grasp humans.

Then, by chance, several incidents occurred one after another within the guild.

Monsters that were once particularly strong and tricky appeared one after another, and many deaths came from the team led by CEO Lim.

Since it was an event that could be a turning point, there was a limit to Lim’s internal politics and pretense.

Rumors began to leak from survivors. That he used his teammates as shields and threw them away.

Anyway, the owner of the guild is CEO Lim. Rumors quickly subsided, but such situations were repeated from time to time, and Paik Kun-wu also learned the truth.

For the sake of CEO Lim’s own growth, he has driven countless people to death.

In any case, as long as the monster is killed, the awakened person receives some kind of experience.

A game-like system that requires no realization. CEO Lim was living this world like an RPG game.

“The worst thing is that even after 10 years, CEO Lim, who is acting as a human butcher, is terrible. You survived longer than expected with such a heart.”

Even as Baek Kun-woo, it was surprising.

The fact that he had climbed to the top of the New World was unknown until he came here.

In a world where a traitor is most likely to be betrayed, he is still alive and in power.

He must have continued to kill countless people for profit.

“Personally, I am happy. If there was one thing I regretted leaving the guild on my own, it was that I was too young to protest or confront.”

The dust was slowly settling.

‘That bastard must be killed here unconditionally.’

Lim’s intuition said so.

He opened his mouth, ignoring Paik Kun-wu’s words as if they weren’t worth listening to.

“I know everyone has heard it. If I can’t kill him here, he’s definitely going to come back.”

The Awoken people around him also shook their heads.

The immediate option is to fight or flee.

Coincidentally, most of the words that came out of Paik Kun-woo’s mouth were in the past, and they had a nuance of revenge.

Except for Lim, the Awakeners couldn’t help but feel uneasy about being chased for the rest of their lives, even if they ran away and survived.

In that case, it was a natural conclusion to kill him first.

While they share such short words and glances.

Fuhuk-

Paik Geon-wu, who was aiming for a gap, appeared through the dust that bloomed because the runway was dug exposing the soil.

The first thing to appear was a silver sword covered in mana.

shhh-

The target was right next to CEO Lim. It was around the neck of the Awakener who helped him to attack Kun-Woo Paik.

“Where… !”

In order to cut off the sword that was rushing straight like a dot, he also sent out his own bottle.

There were restrictions on movement due to the shin stamped by Paik Kun-woo, and there were other awakened people right next to him, so instead of avoiding them, he chose to knock them out.

From noble mtl dot com

Like CEO Lim, he is a 6th-tier Awakener. Neither the physical ability nor the total amount of mana was lacking.

A sword that stretched toward his neck with strange honesty.

In other words, no matter how tough the opponent was, there was no reason why he couldn’t knock it out.

‘I’ll cut off your wrist as it is.’

Paik Geon-wu glanced at his sneer-filled expression as his urgent expression eased.

His youth and genius shone even more when he was a human than when he was a monster.

That alone was an element that aroused vigilance, and when dealing with a human who was vulnerable to variables, the effect was maximized as if he had wings.

Suddenly, Paik Kun-wu’s sword was right in front of the opponent’s neck, and the opponent’s sword was almost touching his wrist.

If you shoot straight like this, your sword will cut off the opponent’s neck without reaching it.

However, the situation was expected from the beginning.

Just before the opponent’s sword touched his wrist, Paik Geon-woo abruptly corrected his sword path.

“Uh, uh… !

The wrist that was aimed in response to the sword that was shot like a point toward the neck.

The moment I was convinced that I had cut off Hana’s wrist, it turned like a ghost, aiming for the heart, not the neck, and was already in contact.

Fuuk-

Due to the attack already out of the way, the means of defense disappeared, and he gave his life to Paik Kun-wu so easily.

“Gagging… Kkeuk… .”

A man in despair with a suffocating breath.

Paik Geon-wu, who simply thrust his sword into the heart of the 6th rank Awakener, bent the blade horizontally in that state and cut it large.

Fuhuk-

An attack that spreads through the body that is being torn apart by sword energy.

The sword bent again like a snake and aimed at CEO Lim, who was standing right next to him.

Quaang-

“Keugh… .”

I blocked it with a hastily erected sword, but the attack of a skilled person who was determined and stretched out.

With light internal injuries, CEO Lim stumbled a few steps to the side.

Rather, Paik Geon-wu kept his position, and now the four awakened people widened their distance and became distant.

“I heard that the New World integrated Gangseo into power. Looking at their skills, it seems that they only killed innocent and weak people. As always.”

“this… Cheeky kid… .”

“With the power that someone fed me. You’re so weak that you can only catch stupid monsters stupidly.”

It was absurd.

Did you think that pretending not to know such a weak opponent was the best thing you could do?

After the meeting with Ha Yeon-woo, my thoughts were being reassembled moment by moment as I battled repeatedly, and at this moment, I took a point.

From noble mtl dot com

Looking at the opponent who was resentful but unable to attack, Paik Kun-wu gradually fell into selflessness.

It wasn’t that I felt enlightenment from the clash.

That’s because their skills were so insignificant.

Rather, the insignificant skills of these people, including CEO Lim. Nevertheless, it was close to the realization gained while thinking about the phenomenon of being tied to oneself.

Even Ha Yeon-woo, who always showed maximum efficiency with the least amount of mana, intervened in the moment of realization.

‘What would a teacher do?’

Accelerated his thought circuit.

What is the use of mana? What is a hierarchy?

Indeed, that is the first and the last. is it all

What is the reason why each person exerts a thousand different powers even with the same mana?

As if a moment became an eternity. Countless questions were thrown at him.

‘Everything is heart. It’s in your thoughts.’

His genius led him to come up with an answer right away.

intent to kill.

mindset to fight.

individual experience.

the way you lived.

eyes on the road.

attitude to act.

The Awakener showed off his power as if the phenomenon of mana was the subject, but the reality was different.

‘This is just a tool.’

It was Paik Kun-wu’s impression as he watched the mana blooming shallowly on the sword. It was also a direction I had never thought of before.

‘The important thing is the mind and heart. And when, where, what, how and why. The result of the combination of them.’

The short words that Ha Yeon-woo threw from time to time as he traveled back and forth between Busan and Seoul became lessons and penetrated his head.

At the same time, the mana rising from the sword dispersed like smoke.

“What, what are you doing?”

“Don’t be rash. You don’t know what that bastard is going to do.”

In the lull, the enemies who observed Paik Kun-wu’s actions were taken aback.

It was because mana rose like a haze around Paik Kun-wu’s body.

Soon, the haze was again absorbed into Paik Kun-wu’s body and began to be captured.

“Stop, please… .”

“Representative Lim. That phenomenon… .”

Even if you don’t have to say it, everyone in the room knew it.

That what is happening around Paik Kun-wu now is a phenomenon that happens to the awakened person who has jumped the hierarchy.

“Lord, you have to kill me now!”

It was CEO Lim who took action the fastest.

The animal instinct that he should aim for a gap to get enlightenment moved him.

But have you taken a step forward? Paik Kun-wu’s closed eyes opened, and a low voice flowed from his mouth.

“It’s my first time doing it, so I don’t know if it will work. Try blocking this one more time. Selfishly using those proud shields.”

Paik Kun-wu’s sword, which contained no mana, slowly rose.

For that moment, the illusion that everything was flowing slowly controlled him.

Enemies still confused. Representative Lim rushes in with an urgent expression. A sword that slowly ascends according to its own will.

slowly. And the straight sword lightly cut through the air from left to right.

At the moment, his head was pounding, a considerable amount of mana was drained in an instant, and a deep sense of exhaustion came.

But it didn’t stop. Infusing intentions with targeted movements.

‘Ben. Representative Lim. enemies too. Everyone who stands in my way.’

“Oh no… .”

squeak-

Starting with CEO Lim’s words being cut off as he rushed forward, the four high-ranking Awakeners collapsed without sound or warning.

With the waistline still cut in half.

dump-

His will was materialized with mana, and he cut everything in front of him according to his will.

“Whoa… .”

snap-

Paik Geon-wu sighed deeply as he drove his sword into the ground.

“… … I did it.”

The corpses were split neatly as if drawn with a line and turned into two pieces.

Paik Geon-wu glanced at them and carefully recalled the status window.

Soon, a familiar but unfamiliar hologram appeared in front of my eyes, the exclusive property of the awakened people.

The original number ‘6’ at the top was changed to ‘7’.

“this… 7th level… .”

Excluding the returnees who gained the advantage of the pan continent, it was the first 7th-level awakening on Earth to appear.

In addition, it was also the moment when Paik Kun-woo became the owner of Seoul in just half a year, far exceeding what Ha Yeon-woo expected.

* * *

Right above District 7 in Sara Borough.

As for the murder cases that took place inside and outside the official realm, new ones appeared as more and more people were sold.

drug. Murder. And an unknown existence that split the murderers in half as if to play with them.

When things got bigger than expected, Ha Yeon-woo ordered internal security to the cougar gang member who accompanied him for investigation and headed straight up.

The destination is, of course, China, which is presumed to be the route they came from.

The scope of search has also been greatly expanded.

I passed Dandong, which was the border between North Korea and China, for a long time, and set the goal for the nearest large city, Shenyang.

I tried not to empty Sara Autonomous District as much as possible, so I only used half a day to go back and forth to Busan.

Because I didn’t know yet what variables would be.

The critical point for this action was half a day.

If no useful clues come out, I wonder if the search range and time should be increased, but I thought. As a result, it was a useless worry.

It is because a number of signs from the vicinity of Shenyang were caught through Gigam.

“human. No, is it a monster?”

It was very unfamiliar.

It was obviously similar to mana, but felt different, and it moved like a human but like a monster.

They were clustered in one place.

Not dozens, but close to hundreds.
