How the Villain Lives

55. Lucky Mangem.

In fact, the advent of the 4th Awakening at this point was unprecedented, so I expected Jack to see a little embarrassment. However, he who was embarrassed was not Jack, but the Holy Spirit.

"As I thought, I was a little surprised. I never thought I'd really awaken a fourth time."

"What?"

I had a bold expression and an argument, but most of all, what Jack said was messing with my head. Are you saying you were expecting a fourth awakening? It could have been an act to agitate him psychologically, but I knew Sung-hoon better than anyone that he was not someone else and that Jack was not that attentive.

"I wouldn't have leaked the information?!"

"Don't look so serious because you think there's a possibility."

Based on the average person, it is normal to clear 2 class S missions as you proceed with the first compulsory mission, the defeat of Mahjong and the attack of the new area assigned to each city. However, because of Eli's betrayal, Jack was forced to feel a sense of despair when he found out that Sung-hoon had helped Arben complete 3 S-grade missions.

'You have only one step left to clear the class S mission until the 4th Awakening condition. Of course, it's impossible to take that one step, but I don't know if it's him anymore.'

I didn't care whether I tricked Eli into assisting him with the Red Storm mission or undertaking a Class S mission in secret. It was not the process that mattered, it was the result that Sung-hoon became the 4th Awakening. After Jack's bold appearance, Sung-hoon soon regained his cool and began to breathe. No matter how Jack reacted, the fact that he developed a fourth awakening never changed.

"... I was a little surprised, but knowing that beforehand doesn't change anything. I won't go after him especially, so if you don't have the confidence to win, you can run. Hhhhh."

"It's selfish. But I'm cold. Even if you run away crying for your life, I'll chase you with all my might. Khh."

"Blood, evade! Stand back!"

"Out of the way, out of the way, out of the way! If you get caught, you die unconditionally!"

While top-ranked combat was a tricky scene to pay for, people started running heavy to get as far away from both of them as possible. Do Yooseong Hun and Jack, who treat human lives lightly as ants' lives, really fight with consideration for the people around them? I was sure I would never do that.

It's the first thing left to hit! '

The confrontation between the masters was luxurious in the present situation. There were only enemies all around, and it was Sung-hoon who would be disadvantaged if he was dragged to the long haul because other top-rankers might be impoverished sometime. So I decided to attack first, even if I had some damage at first. It was a deterrent attack, but a swift prick that a dizzy worker might not even react to began to shoot at Jack's whole body.

Kaga River!

However, Jack was not dizzy. Jack, who slanted his muffled machete to stop the attack, took the sword and swung it widely from left to right. Seonghun, as he had expected, lay back close to 90 degrees and avoided the attack.

As usual, I had to recover from this position and dig into the other person's arms, but I felt like I was climbing on my back. I was able to see the dagger slicing where the leg was as soon as I flew back. After trying to deal with him normally, Sung-hoon would have been scratching the floor with both legs cut off.

'Shit! What are you doing?! The advantages are true, but that doesn't mean you're not willing to fight!'

I was expecting Jack to deal with heavy two-handedness, which would be a combat style similar to the kind of force he would use unwittingly to fight. Unlike the impossibility of using only force, Jack is a warrior of the same type with all abilities as himself. Even a heavy gauze can be handled lightly as if holding a branch and wielding it.

"It's amazing every time you see that. I have the same thing, but I can't fly free like you!"

"You shouldn't be surprised already! I have so much to look forward to!"

The battle between the two men, which began with a light union, began to escalate in the direction of weaponry and mockery, unlike the expectation that numerous skills would become extravagant battles. First, let's fight with the body to find out what the other person's abilities are.

'It became so much simpler and so much more explicit than it used to be when we fought.'

It was a first-class or second-class move if you were purely swordsmanship, but the story would be different if you had endless strength, agility, and stamina. The giant sword, which is swinging by instinct in a way that it takes at least once, gave a different kind of terror than the simple and efficient sword in Myri.

Of course, Jack felt reluctant as well.

'You've become more bizarre and more creepy. I feel bad about dealing with snakes.'

With the addition of experience and dispersive nouveau as the basis for dancing, Sung-hoon's sword had a peculiarity that could not be determined by ordinary standards. Blurring approaches with explosive acceleration and violent fights move like playing a slow video. And the way out of this battle was powerful enough to embarrass Jack.

Gulp.

With Jack loyal to the goal of killing the opponent, who was only simple and fast, and sometimes lightly, sometimes sparkly, sometimes anomalously, dancing, the battle of the fighting horn seemed to be a mismatch, but it was also interesting to concentrate strangely.

As time grew stronger and faster, even dizzy warriors now struggled to keep up with the battle. And it was Jack who caught the first chance during a fierce uprising.

'Now!'

It was Sung-hoon who showed dozens of anomalous movements, but there was only one moment to predict the movements. Strange foot teasing as you move on to the next move!

It was a voluntary step that we had to use to melt the dances that didn't fit together. Is it the role of soapy water to mix water and oil together? Jack came in sharply, aiming for that part.

"Good... huh?!"

Qaaaaaah!

It was a prick that aimed precisely at the gap. I thought I would have pierced my heart, but the feeling of being conveyed on a sword was not the familiar feeling of slicing a chunk of high fat, but rather the shaky feeling of slicing a chunk of steel. Then, looking at the glorious Seonghun bounced back, Jack murmured, scratching his head nervously.

"Damn it. You've been carrying that, haven't you?"

"I'm sorry about that. You son of a bitch."

Sung-hoon used the book to stop the attack that flew during the unpaid ceremony. Of course, I knew that Seong Hoon used books in combat before, but I was ignorantly forgetting. On the other hand, whether Jack blames himself or not, Sung-hoon soon arose out of his place, building a rotten house.

"It was a little long, but now I've got it. I'm stronger, too."

Jack's ability to possess deceptive skills and the finest items in his body is clearly beyond anyone's grasp. You can easily guess how unimaginable Jack's abilities are, considering that there is only a 50 per cent difference between his strength and the strength that he has put everything into his strength alone.

But Sung-hoon wasn't worth it either. The ability to increase through the monopoly and copy skills of numerous missions is more exciting than Jack, but the next step was to win. The skill called rebellion increased all abilities by 30%, and it was able to overwhelm Jack marginally.

"The skill of deception is a skill that increases as the number of slaves is growing."

"……."

"I don't know if you were in your totalitarian state, but you have lost your strength because you targeted the barracks of defeat and ransacked your slaves. I couldn't be sure it was a family, but it seems to be true."

"... Collins, that son of a bitch."

It was Jack who groaned at Collins who was not here.

With the use of arrowheads and meat shields as targets for defeated warlords, according to SeongHun, a significant number of slaves died, which naturally led to a decrease in stats. If you think about it, Collins would have cooperated to stir up a rebellion in Los Angeles, so it was clear that he was talking to the Americans about himself.

Whoops!

At the end of the feast, the horn sword was raised and the unnamed book was spreading on its own. Finally, I decided to fight with all my abilities, not just swordsmanship. Thinking I was the right opponent for the first battle of the 4th Awakening, Sung-hoon began to dash forward like a thunderstorm.

'You can also use a skill called Horseshoeing that greatly enhances all abilities, so you can activate Heroic Descent at any time….'

"Try as hard as I can before, Jack!"

Hung thought that the accelerated pickles would pierce his trunk through the cracks of dozens of spells that struck the balance. He also had less abilities than himself, and he was constrained by the weaponry and used it even for pressure and acceleration. This attack cannot fail unless it fails.

What the fuck!

Until I heard the sound of metal and metal hitting, I thought so. And in the eyes of Sung-hoon with his head like he was touched by something, I could only see Jack's face smiling.

"I'm always the one with the insurance. If you don't have enough slaves, you can replenish them immediately! Hahahahahaha!"

"Lo, the hierarchy shift in Los Angeles certainly didn't happen."

"Oh, it's all thanks to the great japs. Kenshin is a very useful guy. Khhhhhh!"

"You bastards!"

It was Sung-hoon himself who deliberately placed a hole in Kamikaze's surveillance network to give Jack and Kenshin the opportunity to make contact, but there was no room to recall that.

'Wait! Then how much more can you gain?! If he hides the power as I hid the power..'

I felt like I was drowning in ice, and Sung-hoon tried to bounce back almost like an instinct. But Jack's movements were one step faster than that.

"Horseshoeing!"

Unlike the conjecture of Sung-hyun that he will moderately increase his stats, it is called a sham skill that doubles Strength, HP, AGI, and Magic Power! Jack who succeeded in masturbating in a situation where he didn't have some distance and didn't dig a trap could not stop him.

The ability of 1 million chinas has a big impact on combat, but now the difference between the two is at least 2000 levels. It's normal to spend all your abilities as hard as you can to hold on for a while. No, it was normal. It certainly would have happened without one variable.

[Horseshoeing activates]

[Increases Strength, AGI, HP and Magic Power by 100% during skill retention time.]

[Reduce all damage by 50%. Receive 200% damage from Light, Castle, and Passover attributes]

[Receive 50% of all damage that was reduced at the end of the mashup.]

[Permanently decreases HP and Magic Power by 20. Luck decreases permanently by 60.]

Pivik!

Luck has dropped below zero.

Bad luck triggers.

Luck has dropped to 10.

The choreography hall is activated.

On the front, there was a comment that the ability of the Reflex, the 4th Awakening Skill, was too small.

Well, the excuse for that is that in this world, the growth of abilities becomes almost impossible over time. In fact, the fewer missions you give as rewards, the harder it is to increase your stats.

In other words, if you are like a 3rd Awakener, it becomes very difficult to increase stats by 1 anymore with the mission. When you get to that growth limit, it's actually a massive balance breakdown, not in any field, but in every ability, without any penalty, continuously raising it by 20%. There's only a 10 difference in ability, which has a pretty big impact in practice.

But apart from that, we've reached the final stage of fourth awakening, and it's clear that the impact is too small. At first, I thought about 50%, but when I looked at the standard with Sung-hoon or Jack and balanced it appropriately, it was 20%. However, it is clear to others that 20% only has a few effects, so we have revised the figure to 30%.
