<<Wallet>>

-Coins: 5013

Compared to what Dohyuk saw last time, there was a huge difference in the stats. The change in Strength, Stamina, and Agility were understandable due to his Nature, but…

-Endurance: 52(+5)(D)

‘Endurance?’

It was in the high 20s when he last saw it, but it had doubled.

<<Endurance>>

-Strength of mind. Reduces the insanity rate. Increases resistance against mental and physical pain.

He had read through all the explanations of the attributes on the first day. And with that, he decided that this attribute needed less attention. He somehow managed his encounters against the angels and gods and also withstood his arms getting cut off along with his entire body being burned alive. Why would he need more Endurance? That’s why he wasn’t too happy about it.

<<Used 2400 coins to increase stamina by 12>>

<<Rank increased from E->D>>

<<Used 2000 coins to increase strength by 2>>

He finished purchasing points and walked into the empty lot where the angels were making preparations. The man was about a head taller than Dohyuk. Thick muscles covered his body. Not only that, but his veins were so black they were visible like cracked land in a drought.

The man knew about Dohyuk’s Nature. It was a powerful Nature that would help the user consume the opponent’s items.

“I couldn’t believe it at first.”

The man spoke, shaking as if he were having an orgasm.

“You were in the same region. I didn’t know I had such luck.”

“Luck?”

“All those people will witness your death. It is I who will kill you. It’s a pleasure that only one man can enjoy in this world!”

Dohyuk looked at the man. He wasn’t lying. He was really extremely excited by the thought of killing Dohyuk.

“Let me ask you one thing.”

“What?”

“It’s the first time I ever got a chance to talk with someone for more than a few seconds. I’ve always wanted to ask.”

Before Jo Changhun could answer, Dohyuk asked, “Why do you all need to act like psychos?”

He just purely wanted to know. The world did change, but that didn’t mean they all had to kill each other.

“Isn’t it a second chance? If you all know everything… then you know that it’s not going to end well even if you think you can be all mighty and everything.”

Moral issues aside, it just didn’t seem logical to seek to fight and kill others.

“Ha… hahahaha!” Changhun laughed, “So, it was really luck. That’s what got you to the Great Emperor seat! Even if you don’t remember, is that what you speak of after living a week in this world?”

“…”

“Listen. The strong eat the weak.”

Changhun raised his one leg.

“And you.”

Dohyuk knew instinctively that move wasn’t just some flex.

“Weak.”

Slamming his foot on the ground, he activated his 2nd Nature.

[Tremor of the Anteater]

It created power that pulled the target toward him, forcing the target to fight in close combat. Changhun was optimized for close one-on-one battles.

Gauntlet of the Fire Demon.

And with the other ‘First’ achievements, he had the top physical stats within the region. Dohyuk’s body was drawn in and Changhun raised his left arm. The power in his left arm allowed him to crush any enemies within his grasp.

“Die,” Changhun spat as he reached out for Dohyuk’s head. But before his hand landed, Dohyuk’s twirled his body. It was then that his right foot that showed up. It was like a somersault kick. It flashed past Changhun’s arm and struck his chest.

And what was more shocking was the pain he felt from the strike. It was the only type of damage that could be made with Strength and Agility ranked D or higher, and Changhun was only able to achieve with that the help of the multitude of achievements he had.

‘…How?’

Changhun stopped in confusion and Dohyuk did not miss the opportunity. He then kicked Changhun again.

‘I was right.’

He was right to have jumped before Changhun’s foot landed on the ground. Dohyuk did not know what would happen, but he just guessed it had something to do with destroying land. At least it helped him transition into an attack.

‘Left arm,’ Dohyuk thought. That was the most dangerous threat at the moment.

‘I have to worry about the foot slam and the left arm.’

He reminded himself and dodged Changhun’s left arm again before kicking him.

“DAMMIT!” Changhun screamed.

The enemy had no memory, but he still couldn’t even catch up to him. It was the grasp that no one in this region could avoid. His power and speed were similar to Changhun’s, and he also increased the force of his grasp. Unlike his previous life, he now had the help of his other Nature and the skills to make it work together with his original Nature.

Yet, the result was the type of combat style that Changhun was not used to. As for Dohyuk, this fighting style was what he was used to as it was something that he used to survive in this world.

Dohyuk kicked Changhun’s chin.

“I.. I can’t…”

Changhun then realized the problem.

“Weapon!”

He looked at his ‘dogs’.

“Give me anything that I can use…”

<<The God of Slaughter is disappointed at you.>>

<<Last chance.>>

<<I’ll remind you.>>

Before Changhun was shocked by the message, his body was filled with magical energy that increased his power. It was the drug that Mashiv used to overwhelm his body.

“Ugh… nggh… hg.g…”

Changhun’s mouth was filled with bubbles, but he felt power coming into him. It didn’t allow him to inflict more damage, but it allowed him to forget about everything except for killing.

He then lifted up his leg again. Before he could lift it, Dohyuk charged. Changhun raised his arms to defend instinctively, but it wasn’t Changhun who Dohyuk was aiming for. He quickly slammed his leg down in front of Changhun, similar to what Changhun was trying to do, but his purpose was different. The shock destroyed the surface beneath them and Changhun lost his balance.

Having the slammed leg as the center of balance, Dohyuk shot his leg out with all his might.

<<Proficiency level increased for Flying Master Kicks>>

He didn’t know what he was doing, but it was the special move where he could unleash multiple strikes at the target.

-AHHHHHHH!”

After about two seconds, someone’s body was thrown onto the ground and the victor landed with his steps.

“No…”

While vomiting blood and reading the message popping up endlessly that said, ‘God is disappointed,’ Changhun mumbled, “This is… not Yoo Dohyuk…”

“No, it isn’t,” Dohyuk responded.

“I’m not the one you know.”
