Scenario Defence (1)

The 12 Monarchs.

The list of villains currently changed everytime Soo Jinyoung's reincarnated but those twelve were the main villains within the 'World of Nightmare'.

Mad Berserker of Gwanakgu, Jung Donghyun was one of the twelve Monarchs. His danger rating was rather low on the list but that didn't mean he was weak.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhgggg!!!! My hand!!"

Jung Donghyun screamed while holding his broken hand.

Everyone that was looking this way opened their eyes wide as if they could not believe what they were seeing. It was because no one had the courage to confront him till now.

"You bastard! Who do you thinking you are?!!"

Jung Donghyun looked at me with a fierce glare.

The Mad Berserker. He was a person that respected only strength so I should probably use a rough approach. I thought for a moment before I spoke like a character I knew.

"Kim Jakga."

"...Kim Jakga? What an odd name."

"I hear that alot these days."

"Who the fuck asked?!"

Jung Donghyun spoke and released a heavy pressure. It was a good attempt but it was a cute level compared to Soo Jinyoung.

[The character 'Jung Donghyun' has used Malice Lv. 1]

[Unique skill, 'Black Box' has activated.]

[The skill has forcefully nullified the authority 'Malice']

"W-What?"

He opened his eyes wide and looked at me with a dumbfounded expression.

"You... What are you trying to do?"

"Funny, I was just about to ask you the same question. What do you think you're doing terrorising these people? Do you think you wouldn't be caught?"

"Who the heck is this guy? Aren't you getting cocky because you are a little strong?"

Look at this idiot, he doesn't still realise he's not in control of the situation.

This was the main reason why Jung Donghyun was ranked low within the list of villains. It was not because he was weak. He was simply too prideful and full of himself. Plus, he was extremely stupid.

[Personal skill, 'Black Box' has activated.]

Once I examined his stats, I realised why he was overconfident. His overall stats was 56 which was higher than most average walkers and he also possessed the Berserk skill.

With those stats, he was probably among the top 50 strongest incarnations in the Seoul Dome. But he was still far from being the strongest incarnation.

Jung Donghyun began to speak in a threatening manner.

"This bastard... Who the hell are you looking with those eyes? Are you looking down on me?"

Jung Donghyun suddenly swung his fist forward. It was a fierce attack filled with powerful energy.

[The character 'Jung Donghyun' has used Powerful Blow.]

Thankfully, his attack pattern was predictable so I dodged and punch him in the nose.

Jung Donghyun staggered backwards in a funny manner. He wiped the blood from his nose and shouted.

"You bastards, why are you just standing around for? Get him!"

The four men surrounded me at once. They all looked relaxed because they had the number advantage. They were not wrong to think that way.

I summoned and gripped the Iron-cutting sword.

"Waaaah!"

A man shouted and charged in a defensive manner. I slowly moved the sword and pierced him in one of his thighs.

"Aaaaack! Fuck!"

"This bastard!"

"Attack him together!"

As the first man got pierced in the thigh, the other three rushed simultaneously.

They were all inexperienced and didn't know how to use the sword properly. This was too pathetic for a hunting squad. Did Soo Jinyoung even take time to raise her men properly? That woman is too impatient.

I dodged all the incoming attacks without much effort and swung the sword again and again.

Puok! Puok!

"Uwaaaack!"

"My arm! My arm!"

After they got pierced by the Iron-cutting sword, the men squirmed around on the floor and screamed like babies. But I avoided fatal injuries. It was because the mission didn't specifically say I should kill them

[A few constellations nods at your Judgement.]

[The constellations have sponsored you 100 coins.]

[A few constellations wish for the death of the Gwanakgu group.]

If I killed all of them here, I might gain the attention of the constellations for a while but I had no intentions of killing these people. It was because these bastards will be useful when the 4th nightmare arrives.

Let's finish things quickly now. I raised the sword at Jung Donghyun who was hiding behind his men.

"Come here, I'll beat you up next."

"This son of a bitch..."

Jung Donghyun gritted his teeth. His pride must have taken a direct hit after this. It didn't take long before he started to move.

"Fine! Everyone back off, I will take care of this guy myself."

The men retreated as Jung Donghyun drew his sword and stepped forward. Sparks flickered around his body as his broken arm began to heal, the bones being forcefully realigned by the expanding muscles.

[The character 'Jung Donghyun' has used Berserk Lv. 3]

[The character 'Jung Donghyun' has used Muscle Strengthening Lv. 5]

[All basic stats has increased by 10 levels.]

A whole ten levels. This was why the Mad Berserker was so difficult to deal with. Things were about to become serious.

A sword quickly moved through the air. The attack was aimed for my face as if to split me into two. I stepped to the side and evaded the strike.

Donghyun smiled. "What's wrong? Are you scared yet?"

I barely managed to dodge the strike on time and the sword gazed my cheek. It was the ridiculous speed of an agility of level 22. On top of that, his overall stats was now 96.

In the next moment, a relentless assault of slashes began.

"Die! Die! Die!"

Donghyun carelessly swung the sword around as if he had entered a frenzy. I suppose he was not called the Mad Berserker for nothing.

Mad Berserker was an attribute that raised the overall stats of the user temporarily. In fact, it was one of the strongest physical enhancement attribute. However, the user's rationality will be reduced as a side effect of the skill activated.

"Hahaha! Is dodging the only thing you can do?"

It was hard to dodge his relentless assault with the mind reading. Jung Donghyun grew more and more confident as he attacked, and closed the distance. Fortunately, the agility difference between us wasn't high so I was able to evade his relentless strikes.

I summoned two white pills from my dimensional storage and tossed them inside my mouth.

[You have consumed two enhancement pills.]

[All stats will explode exponentially for five minutes.]

[Physique Lv. 20 –> Physique Lv. 30]

[Strength Lv. 20 –> Strength Lv. 30]

[Agility Lv. 20 –> Agility Lv. 30]

[Magic Power Lv. 20 –> Magic Power Lv. 30]

[Your body is overflowing with great potential.]

[Your muscle fibres have gotten much stronger!]

[You can now unleash greater strength.]

[You can now move much faster.]

[Your body has gotten tougher.]

Enhancement Pills. Each one of those pills increases the overall stats of a walker by five levels.

However, most people don't want to waste money on them because they were considered worthless after the beginning nightmares.

At the moment, these pills will come in handy especially when the 4th trial arrives.

"Hey."

Donghyun moved the sword through the empty air. It was about time I took the offensive position.

"It's my turn, right?"

"W-What?!" Donghyun exclaimed.

My fist slammed into his cheek. A few teeth flew out and Jung Donghyun screamed. He tried to retaliate but I pierced his hand and pinned it to the wall.

"Uwaak!"

Donghyun made a groan as he tried to remove the sword but it seems he has ran out of time.

[The skill time limit had been reached.]

[Berserk has been disabled.]

"What? How?!"

"Why was you so surprised? Don't you know how your own skill works?"

The Berserk skill can only be used for a while before it turns off. That was why most incarnations usually avoid the skill. Jung Donghyun has returned back to his original level.

Once that cold reality hit him, Donghyun shivered and looked at me in fear. What a nice expression.

"Wait... please, let's talk this out."

"Talk? How strange. Did you talk things out with that boy over there?"

"That..."

He struggled to answer. Humans were weak creatures. They like oppressing those who are weaker than them but lick the boots of those in higher power. It was something I had already experienced.

I grabbed Donghyun by his hair and raised a fist.

"Don't worry, you will thank me for this someday."

"That... Wait! Uwaak!"

My fist slammed into his nose as he tried to speak. It seemed like I broke his nose because blood gushed out. But I didn't stop. I raised my fist and punched down repeatedly.

The sound of fist meeting fresh echoed repeatedly.

The survivors were watching in the background. The weak hearted ones looked away while the rest watched the performance without making a sound.

I did not know what they were thinking but it was important that they watched this performance.

Pow! Pow! Pow!!!

"Kuheok! Kuheeok!"

Broken teeth and blood fell to the ground. Donghyun's face had become swollen but my fist didn't stop punching.

Perhaps it was because he was a fictional character that I hated while reading the novel or was I simply following my human instincts. Even so, it was a cold and calculated physical violence.

At some point, someone spoke out.

"Hey, you can stop now."

"No, not yet. I have to beat him up a little longer enough to scare him."

"Kim Jakga."

A familiar voice. More importantly, the place became deadly silent as I stopped moving my fistn I turned my head and saw someone.

"Soo Jinyoung?"

So she finally decided to reveal herself.
