Chapter 169 – 169. Since the Opponent Has Turned Into a Villain, I Have Activated Warrior Mode for the First Time in a While. [Variant Dark Awakening][1]
‘What the fuck, why can I suddenly feel the pervert awakened mana on Kang Seok-gu?’
Kim Tae-sik’s pupils moved quickly.
His mind seemed to be complicated by the rapid influx of new data.
A voice that has changed somewhat
Kang Seok-gu’s physique grew significantly as did his heavy steps.
Among those changes, the thing that made Kim Tae-sik most curious was that he could feel the mana of the Dark Awakening in him.
“Kkkk…!”
Wow…! Ahhh…!!
Kang Seok-gu, the Dark Awakened person who appeared like that, does he like his now stronger power and appearance?
He clenched and unclenched his fists with the corners of his mouth raised.
‘Did Kang Seok-gu just get hit by a zombie? Or did he become a zombie after dying of shock from excessive blood loss?
From about 20 meters away, Kim Tae-sik looked at Dark Awakening Kang Seok-gu with round eyes.
What was immediately drawn to Kim Tae-sik was the hypothesis that Kang Seok-gu had become an awakened zombie.
Anyway, he didn’t know about the existence of the man in the black suit.
It was difficult to imagine a situation where Kang Seok-gu became a Dark Awakening.
The similarity between the mana of the Dark Awakened and the mana of the zombies led to speculation that Kang Seok-gu had become a zombie.
‘But it’s very different from the awakened zombies I’ve seen before. He appears to be conscious to some extent, and although he seems slurred, he speaks…’
As time passed, a more detailed analysis began to form in Kim Tae-sik’s mind.
The awakened zombie that Kim Tae-sik faced in the past had improved abilities, but in the end, he looked closer to a zombie.
Even though he displayed stronger physical abilities and even used the Awakened skill, he was unconscious and howled like a zombie.
However, Kang Seok-gu, who has changed about 20 meters in front, is clearly looking at things with focus.
Not only that, but he is also talking.
‘And even the hand that was cut off and smashed by me was regenerated… Although the scars are clearly visible…’
Looking at it from that perspective, it was also shown that Kang Seok-gu’s arm had regenerated.
A phenomenon that is so unreported that it is considered zombieification.
In other words, the basis for Kim Tae-sik’s initial hypothesis was weakened.
Sigh…!
At that moment, Kang Seok-gu, who was admiring his own strength, looked towards Kim Tae-sik.
Although his gaze was clearly aware of things, like Kim Tae-sik’s,
The pupil had a faint appearance.
“You…”
Kang Seok-gu, whose pupils were so faint, opened his mouth to smell Kim Tae-sik.
“Kim… Tae… Sik…?”
Kang Seok-gu’s state of consciousness seemed to be as faint as his dim pupils.
It was Kang Seok-gu, who vaguely remembered Kim Tae-sik.
‘I think I’ve seen something similar to that somewhere…’
A state of fading consciousness while possessing great power.
Kim Tae-sik suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.
“-Wooooo!
ㅡPaaaaa!!!!!
The moment Kim Tae-sik felt déjà vu
Kang Seok-gu recognized him and began charging in at incredible speed.
ㅡPapa papa papa pap!!!
Not only was the speed of that rush amazing, but also its recklessness was amazing.
With each step, the floor of the passage shattered.
“Wow sir!!!!”
ㅡCheooooo!!!
Kang Seok-gu’s original abilities were speed and recklessness that could not be achieved at the level of a C-level awakened person,
Kang Seok-gu’s abilities changed as suddenly as his appearance.
Kim Tae-sik felt a sense of crisis.
So he reflexively raised his horn pipe.
ㅡ Kaaahah Ahhhhh !!!!
And then, just in time for Kang Seok-gu to strike, he hit him vertically toward the top of his head.
“!!!!!!!!”
The sound of a bomb exploding rang out.
That’s how powerful Kim Tae-sik’s awakening pipe attack was.
However, Kim Tae-sik, who launched such an attack, actually looked surprised.
“This time… I stopped… Everything…”
Just like in front of the Taewang Plaza fountain, Kang Seok-gu once again attempted to block X-rays by strengthening some of his body parts.
What is different from then is that, contrary to the first game where he lost both arms, this time he completely blocked Kim Tae-sik’s horn pipe attack.
‘At this point, you’re saying that durability is roughly similar to my physical ability?’
What this means is that the durability of Kang Seok-gu’s enhanced skin is at least level A.
‘Mana… Even mana has been activated!!!’
It was also surprising that his attack was blocked due to Kang Seok-gu’s improved durability.
Kim Tae-sik was even more surprised by the background of the blockage.
The reason why there was no sound of metal hitting but a bomb exploding sound even though the skin was metallized,
This was because the metal skin on both of Kang Seok-gu’s arms was slightly surrounded by black-purple mana.
“-Kwaaaaa
ㅡBuaaaaah!!!!
Kim Tae-sik’s admiring expression could not last long.
This is because Kang Seok-gu, who blocked the attack, immediately launched a full swing attack with his left reinforced fist.
‘You can’t avoid this!’
ㅡCheeoeoeoeook!!!
Since Kim Tae-sik had used a full swing attack in the previous attack, his center of gravity was very much forward.
Thinking that it would be difficult to avoid, he managed to turn around and raise his guard.
ㅡ Kaaahah Ahhhhh !!!!
Kang Seok-gu’s powerful reinforced fist punch hit the guard.
ㅡBuuuuung!!!
As great as the sound of the blow was, the repulsion force that Tae-sik Kim had to endure was also great.
His body floated into the air.
ㅡWow!!!!!!
Kim Tae-sik’s body, which was lifted into the air, broke the hallway window and bounced off the building.
‘Wow, it’s flying!!!!!!’
It was a building over 10 stories high, and the number of floors Kim Tae-sik broke through was 10 stories high.
Kim Tae-sik’s eyes widened at the spectacular situation he was feeling with his whole body.
He became an awakened person who gained tremendous power, but the battles Kim Tae-sik fought so far were not very rough.
The battle of the most powerful tentacle pervert awakener also had a strong technical feel.
However, the changed Kang Seok-gu’s current collision was purely physical.
-Bingle!!
Kim Tae-sik, who flew about 12 meters through the glass window, spun to maintain his balance in the air.
ㅡShoouuuuuk!!
ㅡCheeoeoeook!!!
He then descended from the 10th floor and landed with his knees slightly bent.
‘Oh… This works…’
Kim Tae-sik himself was impressed by the relatively smooth landing.
Although it was theoretically possible with the abilities he possessed,
Because this is my first time actually doing it.
ㅡWhajangchangchangchang!!!!!
At that moment, Kang Seok-gu also jumped out, smashing the window next to the window that Kim Tae-sik had broken through.
ㅡShuaaaaah!!!
ㅡKuuuuung!!!!
Afterwards, it made a heavy sound and landed 7 meters in front of Kim Tae-sik.
-Blah blah blah blah!!! -Blah blah blah!!!
Both of Kang Seok-gu’s legs turned into metal skin as he landed.
As a result, the asphalt he stepped on cracked as if there had been an earthquake.
“Karrrr… Kim… Tae… Sik… Kills… Kim… Tae… Sik…”
ㅡ Shu Woo Woo Woong …! ㅡ Shuwoo Woo Woo Woong …!
Kang Seok-gu, whose fighting spirit seemed to be heightened, showed his teeth and smiled.
At the same time, both of his arms became metalized.
‘It seems that the body has become more adept at strengthening the mana, which is similar to that of a zombie.’
‘Normally, even Mancheol couldn’t do that much simultaneous metallization and maintenance.’
From Kim Tae-sik’s perspective, it felt like Kang Seok-gu’s abilities became more active as time passed.
‘Besides, what you see now… Is this proof that the déjà vu I felt earlier was correct…?’
Meanwhile, Kim Tae-sik stuck his tongue out as Kang Seok-gu’s situation became more concrete.
‘The appearance of black-purple mana rising from the body like smoke, it is exactly the same as the appearance of the tentacle pervert awakened person going berserk…’
Kim Tae-sik, who when he first encountered the changed Kang Seok-gu, thought he felt a mana similar to that of a zombie or a dark awakener.
For that reason, emphasis was placed on Kang Seok-gu’s transformation into a zombie rather than his dark awakening.
However, Kang Seok-gu’s mana flow, which became more evident during the full-scale battle with himself, was closer to that of the Dark Awakened.
‘Based on that, it all fits. ‘Physical pumped up with a faint consciousness.’
In the end, Kim Tae-sik decided that Kang Seok-gu had become a Dark Awakening for some reason.
‘Then let’s figure it out with that, 『Villain Eliminator』!!!’
Kim Tae-sik, who caught the strand, immediately activated the 『Villain Slayer』 Trait.
『Villain Judgment』 Variant Villain
『Name』 Kang Seok-gu
『Profession』 Variant Warrior
『Special Note』 An ordinary awakened person became a villain through external injection.
When killed, a villain extermination privilege is given.
Kim Tae-sik, who thought that if he had become a pervert awakened person, Kang Seok-gu would react to the 『Villain Slayer』 Trait rather than the 『Transcendent Eyes』 Trait.
As he guessed, Kim Tae-sik’s Sang Tae Chang judged Kang Seok-gu as the villain.
Afterwards, related details unfolded.
‘Wow… That guy Kang Seok-gu has really become a pervert awakened… Fuck, an ordinary awakened person has become a pervert awakened?’
When what he had guessed became official, Kim Tae-sik became confused in a different way.
Does that feeling mean that an ordinary awakened person has mutated and become a pervert awakened person? It was an expression like that.
‘Ah? Is there more content?
Kim Tae-sik, whose thoughts were complicated, belatedly discovered an important sentence.
‘It’s an external injection… So does that mean it didn’t mutate on its own?’
The fact that ordinary awakeners have themselves become dark awakeners is a big issue that is different from the immediate threat.
Once he received information that made him think that might not be the case, Kim Tae-sik seemed somewhat relieved.
“Okay… It looks like the urgent fire has been extinguished for now. Anyway, you’re not saying you’re the villain, are you Seok-gu?”
Bingle! Bingle! Bingle! Bingle!
Kim Tae-sik, who roughly grasped the situation, straightened his back and swung each swing pipe with a snap of his wrist.
“Then I have to deal with him as the hero Kim Tae-sik!”
ㅡShoouuuuut!!!
Afterwards, he summoned the awakening nanosuit.
“Karkrul … !!!”
ㅡWow…!
When Kang Seok-gu, who became a Dark Awakening with the advent of the Awakening Nanosuit, felt the unusual force and mana situation of Kim Tae-sik.
If he had been in a posture to show off his power just before, he was now in a fighting posture.
“This time, I’m going first, Seokgu!!!”
ㅡPaaaaa!!!!
Kim Tae-sik immediately attacked Kang Seok-gu in one go using the nano shoes’ steps.
ㅡCheechuchochuck!!!
Kim Tae-sik, who approached Kang Seok-gu in an instant,
ㅡBuaaaaagh!!!
I suddenly swung the nano horn pipe towards the right side.
ㅡCheoeok!!
Kang Seok-gu reflexively raised his reinforced metal-skinned left hand toward his temporal region.
ㅡ Kaaah Ahhhhh !!!
Kim Tae-sik’s powerful iron pipe attack hit the guard.
ㅡPajijijijijik!!!!
Sparks embroidering the striking point of the awakening iron pipe
ㅡChijijijijijijijijik!!!!
Additionally, a huge repulsive force occurred.
The repulsive force pushed Kang Seok-gu’s bulky body aside and drew dynamic sparks from the soles of his reinforced skin.
“Be patient… I did it in the end…”
And the witch Claudia was looking down at the powerful battle scene from the rooftop of a high-rise building.
Her expression looked quite dissatisfied.
