The Spoon Villain Is Obsessed with the Hero Again Today - Chapter 131



The Wheel of Summer (9)

When they first said an intern was coming, I didn’t feel anything special.

After all, it happens every year. It’s obvious they’ll just fill their time and leave, so why bother?

Park Won-hyuk is busy enough with his own work as the CEO. He doesn’t have the luxury to care about such trivial people.

However…

This year was different.

The interns who came this time were on a whole different level from those I’ve met before.

Every single one of them was arrogant, rude, and spoke informally to the CEO… They were all just a bunch of weirdos.

It was like seeing my old self. At the same time, the faces of friends who are no longer here came to mind. Memories of hanging out and having fun without worries with similar guys resurfaced.

Maybe that’s why. Being with these interns made me feel like I had gone back to those days.

We built a camp together, pooled our strength to carry out missions, camped, and enjoyed a lively barbecue party. It was a moment where I could somewhat console the longing feelings buried in a corner of my heart.

It was the only moment where I could forget everything and laugh foolishly.

“Hey! What are these thorns! You didn’t say something like this would pop out!”

“It seems to have absorbed another ability. We have no choice but to dodge well.”

“That b*stard!”

That’s why I had to protect those kids.

It shouldn’t just end as a memory. They have a future.

I can’t let them stay in the past like Park Won-hyuk.

“….”

Park Won-hyuk clenched his fist. He still had feeling in his hand.

It’s different from that day. Now I have this power. The power to protect everyone.

I won’t repeat the same summer.

“Don’t rush in recklessly! You don’t know what traps might be hidden!”

It’s no longer a fight I do alone. Park Won-hyuk has comrades who will fight with him. They are all elites with outstanding skills.

Moreover, for some reason, Arna also came to support. It was a great help in increasing our strength.

This time, we will defeat Basago.

“Shin Yoon-sung.”

Park Won-hyuk called Shin Yoon-sung, who was nearby. While the other kids were busy dodging the tentacles, he was looking around alone.

Shin Yoon-sung opened his eyes wide.

“You’re already awake? Your recovery is fast.”

“You. Can you beat that thing?”

Park Won-hyuk pointed at Basago. Unlike Park Won-hyuk, whose whole body was in tatters, Basago looked perfectly fine, as if nothing had happened.

It was an impregnable situation to anyone. But Park Won-hyuk placed his hopes on Shin Yoon-sung.

“We can win, right? You must know the way.”

Even in this urgent moment, Shin Yoon-sung did not lose his composure. Despite being the weakest among them, he was strangely calm.

What a curious fellow. How many times has he surprised people since his first day of dispatch until today? He already has several achievements to his name.

It feels like he’s the only one holding the solution to the textbook. He provided answers to any problem with ease.

So, wouldn’t he show the right solution this time as well?

“I can’t be one hundred percent sure.”

“But there is a way, right?”

That’s enough. I’ll gladly follow that move. Shin Yoon-sung has always shown results. This time, it will surely be the right answer.

Let’s just go for it.

“I just transmitted the data.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the smartwatch reacted fiercely. The data was uploaded to slot number one of the playbook.

“Huh…”

When did he prepare something like this again? It’s not even funny anymore. It’s starting to get scary.

“Alright. I’ll open the way.”

“Can you do it? You look like you’re struggling just to stand.”

“I can’t let the young ones be cannon fodder. In times like this, the adults have to step up. Don’t you know about the order of seniority?”

Park Won-hyuk wiped the blood streaming down his forehead.

The pain that had been piercing his whole body had subsided. Was it because of the expectation that he could do it? That hope acted as a painkiller.

“Let’s have another barbecue party after this operation is over.”

“Who will clean the grill?”

“Of course, we’ll decide by a bet. Just like always.”

Pa-at─!

Park Won-hyuk immediately kicked off the ground and ran towards the center. His movements were incredibly light for someone who had suffered a major injury.

It was like watching a zombie.

“Hey rookies! Leave it to this guild master from here on!”

He easily crushed the numerous thorns blocking his path as if breaking reeds.

Kang Tae-hoon frowned at the sight.

“Huh? Wasn’t that guy dead? Or is it some kind of last burst of energy before death?”

“Haha! Watching your pathetic skills makes me stand up straight! How can anyone go easy on you?”

“What? Are you challenging me to a fight? Do you really want to be nailed into a coffin? Huh?”

Despite his words, Kang Tae-hoon was doing his best in his position. While Park Won-hyuk broke through the center, he fended off all the tentacles chasing after him.

─Screeeech!

At that moment, Basago screamed. It was to shoot out countless spikes.

However…

“I found it! Here it is!”

Arna discovered the source of the spikes. A large cocoon-like thing was buried underground.

It was just as the data sent by Shin Yoon-seong indicated.

Slash─!

Arna swiftly swung her sword and removed the cocoon. After that, no more spikes emerged.

“This time, it will be different from before!”

Now they could beat Basago without worry. Park Won-hyuk threw his punches without hesitation.

Bang─!

He knew it. Attacking like this would only hurt his hand. The creature would revive again and again.

But it didn’t matter. After all, Park Won-hyuk was just bait. The rest would be handled by their interns.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Just in time, Rashid came running. He was aiming for Basago’s back.

Crunch─!

Rashid forcefully pulled out the leg attached to Basago’s head. It was like pulling a radish buried in the soil.

Swoosh─

As the leg was pulled out, suspicious ooze flowed from the severed end.

At this, Shin Yoon-seong shouted.

“Now!”

At that signal, Park Won-hyun and Rashid quickly moved away.

Buzz─

Soon, a drone emerged from the sky. It was a small multicopter.

The drone stuck to the part of Basago’s head where the ooze was flowing out.

Boom─!

The drone exploded shortly after. It was a waste of equipment. What was the point of that?

Shin Yunseong opened his mouth.

“I asked Yoo Jiwoo to prepare a drone.”

“For what?”

“By the way, inside it is the magic stone of Seir.”

Seir. A newly discovered monster. They say they hid the magic stone that the monster had inside the drone.

Shin Yunseong continued to explain.

“That magic stone will prevent Basago’s body from regenerating. It will absorb the energy directly.”

Attach the magic stone of another monster to the cut surface that is being restored. It makes the energy that Basago uses to recover his body flow into the magic stone.

“Now!”

“I know!”

The regeneration speed has definitely slowed down. This is the chance. Arna and Kang Taehun swung their swords and cut everything of Basago.

The torso, arms, legs, and even the eyes attached here and there were all cut out.

And the heart, which could be said to be the core of Basago, was revealed. It looked like a huge rock.

Kang─!

“This won’t work!”

But they couldn’t destroy the heart. It was very hard. No matter how much Arna swung her sword, it didn’t budge. Even when she infused the sword with aura, it was the same.

Here, Shin Yunseong spoke to Park Wonhyuk.

“It seems we lack the strength to destroy the heart.”

“….”

“Would you like to try it yourself?”

If left as it is, Basago will return to its original form. Using the magic stone is just a way to buy time.

Now is the only chance to end Basago.

“Is there anything to hesitate about?”

Park Wonhyuk headed towards Basago’s heart without hesitation. Naturally, Arna and Kang Taehun stepped aside.

“Hoo….”

It took a long time. How many years did it take for this moment to come?

I still can’t believe it.

Sssssss─

Gathered all the strength in his hands. For a moment, his body staggered, but he didn’t stop. This is the time to pour everything out, thinking this is the last time.

Even if this life ends in the middle.

Boom─!

He thrust his fist towards Basago’s heart. Their forces collided. As a result, a massive storm began to rage in the area.

“Ugh…!”

The wind was incredibly fierce. It was sharp enough to cut through the skin. Basago resisted until the end.

An ordinary person wouldn’t last long and would be swallowed by this gale.

“Uooo…!”

More power is needed. This won’t be enough. Push harder. Dominate this storm instead.

Crack─!

In an instant, a crack appeared in Basago’s heart. The iron-like stone began to split.

Just a little closer now….

Sssss─

At that moment, black mist flowed out from the crack. The mist protected Basago’s heart.

It became a new shell.

“Damn…!”

It feels even harder than before. If time drags on like this, Basago will revive.

All the efforts so far will be in vain.

Slash─!

That’s not all. The wound started to open due to the wind. Park Won-hyuk was bleeding profusely.

Just standing was a struggle.

“Ugh…!”

The sensation in his hands was gradually dulling. It felt like frostbite on a winter day, with no feeling at all. His whole body was like that.

Is this the limit?

Will I fail like this?

Will it end without achieving anything?

Clang─!

At that moment, a spoon struck the shell. Shin Yoon-seong had intervened.

“You b*stard…! Do you know where this is…!”

It was a storm with winds as sharp as blades. He entered this dangerous place on his own.

Even now, his clothes were being torn and his flesh was being ripped apart. It was a reckless action, no matter who saw it.

Even so, that shell….

“It’s open!”

“…!”

Park Won-hyuk’s eyes widened in surprise.

The black fog that hadn’t budged began to slowly clear. The spoon had performed a miracle.

How? Did that spoon have some special power? He had never seen anything like this before.

Anyway.

He had to destroy the heart in this gap. There was no time for other thoughts.

Park Won-hyuk clenched his teeth and put all his weight into his fist.

Boom─!

Was it thanks to Shin Yoon-sung’s help? The huge boulder was breaking into pieces. The heart, which could be called the core of Basago, was collapsing.

The Basago that had bound Park Won-hyuk all his life was disappearing from this world.

Whoosh─!

As the heart was destroyed, the last gust of wind blew. Park Won-hyuk was flung far away like a kite fluttering in the wind.

Thud─!

Park Won-hyuk fell onto the nearby grass. He struggled to lift his head and looked at the spot where Basago had been.

“Is it over….”

Basago was no longer moving. All that was left were the remnants of the beast.

There was no sign of it reviving.

“Ha, haha….”

He had defeated Basago. Park Won-hyuk had finally achieved the moment of revenge he had longed for.

“….”

But that didn’t mean everything was completely over.

There was still something left to finish.

Park Won-hyuk stood up and picked up Basago’s trophy.

A large tooth.

Swoosh─

Basago’s tooth, imbued with poison. He brought the tip close to his neck.

If he stabbed his neck with this tooth, he would die instantly.

It was time to be freed from this endless pain. It was time to go to their side.

“Why….”

However, his hands do not obey. Why is that? It’s the moment he had envisioned for so long, so why is he hesitating now?

Even Park Won-hyuk had it. The will to refuse death. There is a spark that shines even in his tightly closed heart. That small flame blocked Park Won-hyuk’s choice.

That spark was the future. No matter how much he was trapped in the shackles of the past, Park Won-hyuk had a tomorrow. A tomorrow to share with his one and only family… the guild members who trust and follow him… and finally, even the interns….

As an adult, he needs to watch over them. He can’t stay in those childish days forever. He is not the Park Won-hyuk from ten years ago. He is an adult now.

He must look ahead properly and move forward….

Thud─!

“Ugh…!”

It was then. A flying knee kick came out of nowhere. Park Won-hyuk rolled on the ground and fell into the mud.

“You punk! It was just getting to the good part… Ugh!”

An upper kick followed. The tip of the foot hit Park Won-hyuk’s lower jaw.

The kicker was Kang Tae-hoon. Kang Tae-hoon frowned and shouted at Park Won-hyuk.

“You crazy b*stard! Are you out of your mind? You’re not a kid, why are you causing such trouble? Do you really want to die?!”

“Can’t you see I’m hurt right now…? Just a little gentler… Ugh!”

Thud─!

This time, Rashid kicked Park Won-hyuk’s side. The usually quiet Rashid used violence.

“Aagh…! Even you, Rashid…! What’s wrong with everyone…! Shin Yoon-sung, say something…!”

He pleaded with Shin Yoon-sung, who knew the situation.

But Shin Yoon-sung’s answer was….

“Just beat him enough so he doesn’t die.”

Thud!

Everyone gathered their feet and kicked Park Won-hyuk.

“Aagh! But a 3-on-1 beating is too much! I’m not some evil overlord! Wait, wait! You hit my bone! You hit my bone!”

He straightened the fallen carriage. The wheels that were spinning in the air rolled along the road.

The Park Won-hyuk who stayed in the past is no longer there. He is heading towards tomorrow.

The stopped flow of seasons begins to circulate again.

It’s time to welcome autumn.
