How the Villain Lives

33. Courage? Manyong?

"How many times? It can be from one room to up to a thousand."

"What's the difference in destruction?"

"Even so, in the end, there's no big difference. Short and thick. I'll chop it up several times and cut it long and thin. It's all your choice."

I don't think so. It could end easily and die easily.

"I'm not kidding. I could get shot and cross the Jordan River. '

"Let's do it a hundred times."

"Oh, not a thousand times? You might want to get a little fat at first."

"No, I'll do it a hundred times."

"Then I'll give you a minute before I start. You'd better put on some armor."

I don't think I can deal with myself in a suit made of cloth. However, Sung-hoon shook his head.

"This is a pretty sturdy piece of clothing. I'm not the type to fight in armor, so this is enough in the first place."

If Sung-hoon really wore an armor lamp because of his proposal, the knight would be quite disappointed. Seonghoon has worn it from the Gateway of Wisdom to here. Maybe that's the combat suit you usually wear. It is meaningful to pass the test with what you are used to.

"Is that so? Let's check the rules again before we begin. You have to endure a hundred of my attacks. Blocking or draining an attack is considered an attack. But I can't admit I'm completely avoiding the attack. Of course, countermeasures don't matter, but they only allow countermeasures in the sense of deterrence. I will admit that if I received a hundred attacks in that state, I would have passed, even if I had not died and lived."

"Very well, that's exactly a hundred times."

"If you want to give up in the middle, you can always call it abstention. So let's get started."

Tuck!

The start was simple.

The knight kicked the stone on the floor forward and sent it to the shin of the Holy Hun. I tried to avoid it by twisting my leg in a hurry, but the attack was caught in a close encounter. It was not a big blow, but it was forced to collapse and the knight's jab was already flying towards the face, aiming for the gap.

'Heh, I spilled it!'

Seonghun, who had his arms slanted and spilled in close contact, frowned. This was a push to push rather than to shock. One leg lost its strength, and the torso twisted to the side, so that the body of the Holy Hun naturally twisted to the side. And the knight didn't miss that gap.

"If you wore a long cape like this, you would have done it."

"Jeez..."

The Holy Hun, who had been caught in a cape, was lifted up into the sky for a short time, and was stuck on the ground as it was.

Quaaang!

"Argh!"

I couldn't breathe properly because of the intense shock I felt in my body. I didn't even think I'd walk to defeat him. But there was no room for this. Because the knight's steel boots were flying towards the face.

I quickly raised my arm and covered the side of my face, but it was impossible to fully guard the attack. Several fingers were broken in a strange direction, and the back of the hand collapsed and rolled over several wheels.

I couldn't even recognize what situation I was in right now, but I thought I couldn't stay like this, so Seong Hoon could barely stand up with his right arm shattering the ground as he rolled. Looking at the knight's foot through his forehead with the difference of a piece of paper, Sung-hoon lifted the magical power in his body, increasing his health, and moving some of the magical power to his abdomen.

"This ship is empty."

"Paragraph…."

Cuckoo!

"... Pour it!"

The Holy Hun, who flew back with a strange groan, broke a small tree and bounced back into the forest.

"Hmm, that's harder than I thought. Were you wearing something inside? It looks like a glove from a shape or a touch."

"Argh. I thought you were fainting... Ouch!"

After being hit by a giant toast, Seong Hoon tried to get up in place without any pain. He began to vomit greatly without taking a single step. This was the first time since I had killed an animal that was accustomed to killing life at first. Fortunately, the article did not try to add an extra hit to make sure he heard what he said at the end.

"Heh heh. Are you really a novice? If it looked like a warrior type and had a strength of 1000, I would have fought alongside it. I don't think I have any moves at all."

"Kuluk, 퇫. A trick?"

"Yes, it's a trick. It's also possible to mitigate the shock much, depending on how you cope with it. Now, kick my forearm with your foot."

"Why are you suddenly so kind?"

"Apparently, I'm trying to challenge you honestly without using any tricks, and then I'm forced to treat you accordingly. Come on, kick it."

I slammed the knight's arm by lightly blowing the high kick that happened while stumbling. The knight, who stepped aside with a slight shock, nodded as he stroked his arm.

"Quite a force. Anyway, I can say this is your condition right now. Give me the same power as before and try it again."

"Huh?"

Changed the look of Sung-hoon, who shattered the knight's leg. The knight who had just stepped aside did not step back this time.

"Didn't you feel something strange when you kicked my arm?"

"I got a little bit of it. Do you think it feels like something's not going right?"

"That's the trick. It's a way of controlling the body as opposed to just holding on. Here you need to learn how to move your body, how to defend yourself, and how to withstand shocks."

"Not anywhere else..."

"I don't care if you tell me this much. You will learn how to maximize your strength in the Strength Coffin and how to maximize your speed in the Agility Coffin."

'Now I understand why the old man was torn.'

If you pass through the six gates in the normal way, the person's abilities must have risen much more than before. A person who controls abilities, not just those who are high in abilities and who are swayed by them!

In a way, this test was the most necessary for Sung-hoon now. If you train gradually here and learn one by one, it is also possible to increase the skill () like Mirina. However, something wriggled in the heart of the Holy Hun.

'Obviously not bad. But that guy's bluefin instinct.'

If it is determined to do this, it is Sung-hoon who does not follow the prescribed method. I don't know why, but I wanted to choose a path other than the one I was told to do. It was all done because of such strange instincts, such as beating people in the back of the tutorial, thinking of hunting monsters with poison, acting as NPCs, and inciting people.

'I have to do it my way.'

Ouch!

"Argh!"

"That's tough."

The knight who looked at Sung-hoon, who struck his broken finger again, muttered as he kicked his tongue. The wound began to heal quickly, spraying a potion that had been taken out of his arms, roughly on his swollen fingers, and putting on a recovery spell that was not very familiar.

"Luckily, it's not a big wound."

"I like your cuffs, to be precise. You didn't just get the title."

"Does that mean that your body regenerates as well?"

"That's right. If your health exceeds 1000, your skin itself will become very tense, your dizzy wounds will heal scarcely, and your life will recover quickly from severe injuries. I'm glad you didn't take the time to lose your temper."

"I see. Shall we try it again?"

"Do you intend to try again if you need to take a break?"

I thought I should change my assessment of Sung-hoon. First the coward, then the one who is still somewhat confident, but now the one who is at least as strong.

Let's go, let's go!

"Let's go up a little bit more on your assessment. Wake up, I'll see how strong that will be."

"Phew, come."

"without specification."

Argh!

The knight's fist fell on the guard of the Holy Hun.

"Hahaha! I'm sorry! I was looking down on you! Admittedly, your strength is the realm of superheroes!"

"Argh..." "

"The cloak is empty again?"

Others are different, even if they can somehow reduce the damage. Catching and matching attacks, tightening attacks, and pressing joints are purely physical attacks.

"It's not empty!"

Glub!

The knight's hand only passed through the air. However, if you allow a counterattack by catching a cloak all day long, at least you'll find a way to counter it. Sung-hoon, who shrugged his shoulders, rather exaggerated the cloak and made it flutter. This makes it possible to mask the movement of the body under the cloak. It was a technology I discovered to be mismatched, but it was certainly useful.

The kicker that flew after the gaps in his torso hit the knight's elbow, and the fist that was aiming for Seong Hoon's chest just traversed his shoulders. However, for a moment the knight blew himself up and took an intense bodycheck into Sung-hoon's chest.

"Surrender!"

I wanted to admit defeat too futilely, even though I had to be beaten, because I knew that Seong Hoon could not be attacked by knights in this collapsed position.

"I liked what I just said. It's definitely getting better."

"I still don't think I'm going to make it through."

"What are you talking about? It's already great enough to share thirty thousand."

'Though you were attacked on purpose.'

The reason Sung-hoon continued to apply for training and continued to lose was simple. Even though it is impossible to spend a long time, at least two-thirds of the time is worth it. It was worth it, but at least some things could be learned.

The first one may sound a little funny, but it was tenacity. Sung-hoon has so far been overwhelmingly less injured or at risk of death compared to others. It was naturally painted using a strange combat method using dancing while playing with my head. Instead, I felt so sensitive to pain.

It's a pain that can slow down a battle. I can't stand it and I'm afraid of it for a while or more. However, I was now able to get used to suffering somewhat.

The second is the trick to moving your body. It's not that grand, but we found a way to disperse the pain at the right moment. With this, I could say that the HP and DEF of Sung-hoon have increased considerably. However, these two did not feel very great for Sung-hoon anyway.

'I fight a battle that specializes in agility anyway. It's a skill that doesn't matter if it's good or bad.'

Tuck!

Seong Hun, who was standing there, began to relax while stretching for a while. I could see through the knight's attack. Neither does this man try to kill himself. Of course, if you get close to a hundred predetermined hits, you try to eliminate Sung-hoon by force.

'Stop it! I surrender! I surrender!'

Shamefully, the Holy Hun did not overcome the pain and succumbed. Unbelievable pain that comes from the whole body. Like those who had been subjected to torture, Sung-hoon could not be free from suffering.

The extreme pain of shattering bones and shaping flesh was not an area to be tolerated with patience or tenacity.

"Of course you can endure that much pain right now. The will transcends the flesh."

The article said it seemed that easy to overcome, but the parties could not think of it that way. Fortunately, however, I was able to catch one clue.

'Whatever your tenacity is, it's my victory if you endure the pain and endure it for lilies. I saw a rough road. But before that.'

"Argh. I'm sorry, but can't you just pick up the potion bottles that fell on the floor?"

"Oh, I can't bear that much pain."

Though I didn't think it was a step other than referring to the broken bones on both arms and the sudden necrosis of the skin, Sung-hoon kept his mouth shut and devoted himself to healing the wounds.

"Hmm? Can't you heal with potions?"

"Yes. More serious injuries than I thought. I think we need to heal some more wounds."

"I don't think you hit that hard. I'm sorry."

"No, it's not that great."

'And I'm going to stop watching.'
