31 – #031 Nogada (2)
As Vivian moved away, the black dog finally started moving.
The black dog leaned his upper body forward as if he would attack at any moment, but he did not rush to attack as if the memory of the previous fight had been inherited.
Meanwhile, I also defeated the black dog once, but at the time I knew that I was able to win because I was lucky, so I couldn’t approach it recklessly.
Both of us kept each other in check and took a stance so that we could respond at any time, but time passed without either of us being able to attack first.
As the scene unfolded as if the masters were glaring at each other for a long time before fighting in earnest, I first approached him little by little.
This time, I had no choice but to be more careful as I had to deal with the black dog with only my fists rather than a long-range spear.
Black dogs are strong. It boasted not only simple physical strength, but also agility and incredible speed that came from that huge body.
Normally, if it was that big, the dullness would increase, but the black dog wasn’t like that.
Even that leather was difficult to pierce with a spear containing energy, but because it had an abnormal regenerative power, it quickly regenerated even if its skin was ripped off.
At the time, I had no choice but to gamble because I didn’t have the confidence to produce firepower that exceeded the defense and regenerative power of that leather.
Since he had no confidence to defeat it with firepower from the outside, he purposely went into the mouth and ripped out his organs from the inside.
I don’t want to imagine what would have happened if the black dog didn’t swallow me at that time and just chewed it, or closed its mouth and hit me with its head.
‘… Shall I do the same again?’
It was risky, but it was the surest way, but honestly, I was a bit reluctant to do that crazy thing again.
And since it’s difficult to see the new weapon’s performance that way, this time it was necessary to tackle it head-on, even for the performance test.
‘This time, we’ll see the firepower from the front.’
Having decided on the direction of the fight, I boldly rushed at the black dog, resisting hesitation and fear.
Then the black dog opened its mouth as if it had been waiting for it to bite me, but I stepped on the black dog’s upper mouth and jumped high and turned behind it.
Baro also turned around and tried to chase me, but by then, my figure had long since disappeared from the black dog’s sight.
It is said that black dogs are fast and agile for their size, but that only meant that compared to their size, it did not mean that they surpassed me in speed.
No matter how fast it is, since there is a difference in physique, I had no choice but to have an advantage in such close combat.
However, it is still too early to be relieved. Even though he was out of sight, he had a sense of smell that was more keen than his eyes.
Since he was the one who accurately identified my body odor while covered in blood, it was very easy to locate me by body odor.
Immediately, its tail pinpointed to where I was, as if I was watching it right next to me.
I stepped lightly to dodge the attack, and the moment the black dog turned around and tried to bite me, I burrowed into the empty side.
“Suck!!”
I burrowed into the side and kicked the empty stomach, and a powerful blow far beyond my expectations struck the black dog’s empty stomach.
“Kiying!!!”
It wasn’t a terrifying monster, but the black dog that had been kicked while screaming like a dog for a day couldn’t get up for a while and just glared at me.
Even if it tried to get up again, its trembling legs like a newborn deer did not listen to its owner.
I was quite taken aback when I was hit by the bug-like scenery that I had stepped on a few days ago at the academy.
The attack speed is 15% and the additional damage is 50%, both of which are not small numbers, but there’s no way the black dog would suffer that much.
Then, there is only one answer left, not only the effects of weapons and titles, but also that I myself have become stronger.
[Name: Han Yujin] [Lv: 47]
[Strength: 74]
[Agility: 76]
[Skill: 78]
[HP: 71]
[Energy : 74]
As expected, when I opened the status window after a long time, the level and status were higher than before.
I wonder if this is the phenomenon of leveling up that my father talked about over and over again. He said that if you repeat battles, your level goes up and your status goes up, but this must be it.
As I was seriously contemplating the sudden rise in strength, the black dog, which had been staggering while vomiting stomach juices, began to pick itself up and stand up.
‘… I think this will be easier than I thought.’
*****
The black dog regained control of his body and rushed at John Doe again, but the black dog’s claws and fangs couldn’t even touch John Doe and cut through the air.
The fight was one-sided.
John Doe, who repeatedly evaded the black dog’s attacks by repeatedly digging in and backing away, beat the black dog mercilessly whenever the black dog showed a loophole.
Every time he was beaten, the black dog whined with a cute voice that didn’t suit him and trembled.
Looking at the scene of horrific animal cruelty, Vivian felt both joy and reluctance at the same time.
‘Why are you so strong?’
Although he had talent, John Doe’s skills had reached a level that could not be reached without undergoing rigorous training from a young age.
Since he said he lived with his father, it must have been his father who gave him the training, but why did he raise him so strongly?
Of course, there is nothing wrong with being strong, but in this peaceful era, what is the reason for raising your child to be strong while giving them training that is tantamount to abuse?
In addition, considering the way he reacts sensitively to murder and his memory in the arena, it was clear that John Doe had a murder experience before that.
Then, he must have had his children murder since he was a child, but why did he go so far as to make him accustomed to the act of murder?
‘It’s a race that is discriminated against, so of course I have to learn some self-defense skills, but what the hell was the reason for doing that?’
I don’t like it. I couldn’t throw away the thought that I was reluctant to see the ability of that title and the way she took out her weapon without using prayers.
Maybe out of simple curiosity, he’s trying to create the worst murderer in human history?
‘…… Isn’t he a spy from a real demon cult?’
As the words spoken in the interview that day gradually became reality, I kept thinking that I should kill them with my own hands before something big happened.
Since he has a high hostility toward continental people, it was no wonder that he resurrected demons and foresaw the destruction of the world.
Perhaps, indeed, while thinking the same thing, John Doe, who defeated the black dog, approached Vivian.
The black dog was in a more miserable state than I had ever seen before. The bones that protected the internal organs all collapsed and all the organs were crushed, protruding from his mouth.
“Professor, can you get me some water? Covered with some blood….”
“Do you know what kind of shower head a spirit is?”
“My father said that there are some spiritists who use the water spirit as a bidet… Isn’t it?”
“Bidet? What is that?”
From noble mtl dot com
When I explained what a bidet was, Vivian and the water spirits hovering around her shouted in rage.
“f*ck you!! What kind of crazy bastards are there!! What?! Bidet?! f*ck the bidet!”
“Ji, calm down!! Isn’t that what I said?!”
“Even if it’s not what you said, what your dad said is right, you bastard!!”
As Vivian raised his fist, John Doe, who was well aware of Vivian’s strength, raised his arms in defense and shrank his body.
“Haa… But what was your father doing?”
“Father? Why is that all of a sudden….”
“No… It’s because he’s a human who talks bullsh*t about bidet and what as a spirit. I’m just curious.”
When the chance to dig up a little bit of personal information came naturally, Vivian did not miss it.
“… Umm, I don’t want to curse at the dead.”
“What kind of a human being do you come up with words like that right away?’
“In a word, he was crazy.”
When John Doe began to calmly talk about the spiritual education and training he had received, Vivian’s face twisted at the words she couldn’t believe.
Words like Pingchang and non-virgin are unique chastity education.
“You set yourself on fire?”
“It was a training to defend against attacks with the flag. I would burn to death if I didn’t block it, so I had no choice but to desperately learn how to handle it.”
At first, he was often burned due to frequent mistakes, but John Doe said it was no big deal, saying that his father treated him every time.
She said it as if it were a no big deal since she didn’t bear any scars, but when she thought of the pain John Doe must have suffered at such a young age, she felt like she would burst into tears.
“You were such a crazy bastard… And what else?”
“This has nothing to do with training, but… Once, I was curious about what kind of person my mother was, so I asked her father.”
Then Hannam didn’t answer, stared at John Doe, and suddenly slapped John Doe on the cheek.
Then he grabbed the fallen John Doe by the collar, raised him up again, and slapped him on the cheek several times, and John Doe thought that he might die for the first time then.
“Coming to think of it now, I don’t know if my father had a strangely strong aversion to non-virgins and pink-haired women because he hated her mother.”
Perhaps the reason he made him grow his hair was not to avoid being caught as an Asian, but perhaps it was because he remembered his mother’s face every time he saw John Doe’s face, mockingly.
“Because her father and I didn’t look alike at all. Father is that….”
John Doe scooped up a handful of soil from the flower bed and roughly kneaded it to form a dented round dumpling.
“My father was roughly like this. To be honest, if your mother cheated on you, I understand. Ahahahaha…. Uh?”
Vivien scooped away John Doe’s clay dumplings and suddenly hugged John Doe.
John Doe, unable to understand why Vivian reacted this way, asked Vivian, who hugged him as hard as he could and wouldn’t let go.
“Professor? Why all of a sudden….”
“Huh… !! How much have you suffered under such a madman? !”
Vivian seemed to be able to clearly see what kind of daily life such a crazy person would have spent with a son who looked exactly like his wife who had abandoned him.
He must have endlessly repeated abuse in the name of training with the mindset of getting revenge on his wife who left him.
It is a miracle that he is still alive. Thinking of young John Doe, who must have suffered alone with no one to help, Vivian couldn’t hold back her tears.
“To be honest, I don’t care too much because I gained as much as I worked hard. Even my father, as long as he didn’t mention his mother, he was a person with a pleasant side.”
“You got gaslighted for that!! Not even a beaten wife!!”
“What is gaslighting… Don’t make a fuss and let this go. I have something to do.”
“What to do?”
“……Yes, I have to go through the dungeon a few more times.”
