Breaking Up with the Heroine of the Female-Oriented Game - Chapter 153

Chapter 153

The Worst Enemy (2)

***

“That…”

“N-No way?”

“Is that girl Yoo Dahee?”

“Why, why is she suddenly here?”

People often say that rumors tend to be exaggerated by nature.

As stories pass from one person to another, whether in a good or bad sense, they are prone to being blown out of proportion.

That’s why some people harbored doubts.

About Yoo Dahee’s strength.

Oh, of course.

The fact that Yoo Dahee is a formidable villain is undoubtedly true.

After all, she has displayed plenty of evil deeds so far.

She attacked the top hero-training institution in South Korea, turned Busan into a wasteland, and even killed the legendary hero Goo Hwan-hyung, among other atrocities.

All these heinous acts had already proven Yoo Dahee’s strength.

Thus, she was undoubtedly strong.

Her strength was undeniable, and no one could argue otherwise.

Yet, even so…

Honestly, to be completely honest…

Wasn’t her power a bit over-exaggerated?

Yes, Yoo Dahee undeniably committed outrageous incidents, the kind that an ordinary villain couldn’t even dream of doing.

She was undoubtedly a significant villain.

Yes, that much was acknowledged.

But, didn’t she always commit her vile deeds with other comrades by her side?

Whether it was the attack on the academy, the chaos in Busan, the murder of the legendary hero, or the annihilation of government hunters chasing her—

There were always terrifying villains standing by her.

It made one wonder.

Maybe Yoo Dahee wasn’t as strong as everyone thought.

Rumor had it that she might be as formidable as a single-ranker, but logically speaking, was that even possible?

“Single-ranker”? As if it was the name of someone’s pet dog.

Even the old legends couldn’t reach the highest realm when they were Yoo Dahee’s age.

But what now?

This petty villain is supposed to be a single-ranker, something more than even a high-ranker?

More talented than the legendary heroes of South Korea?

Unacceptable.

It must not be accepted.

And so, some heroes denied it.

They denied Yoo Dahee’s strength and talent, insisting that the heavens couldn’t have bestowed such a blessing onto a mere villain. They denied it again and again.

“What are you waiting for? A villain’s here! Why are you all just standing around gawking? Aren’t you going to fight?”

And then—

“Oh… Could it be?”

That girl…

“…You aren’t scared, are you?”

What on earth was she?

“No way. There’s no way that heroes would be afraid of some little brat who still has wet hair, right?”

The heroes couldn’t help but gulp as they stared at Yoo Dahee, with her ash-gray hair, smirking as if she were mocking them.

They realized the moment they saw her up close.

This was no ordinary monster.

Just looking at her made their bodies tremble uncontrollably, their skin prickle, and cold sweat trickle down their temples.

Inside their heads, loud alarms were going off incessantly.

Their survival instincts, honed over countless battles, were screaming at them—

To run away from this place immediately.

It felt as though they were facing a bear in the wilderness at midnight.

“There are so many famous heroes here. I’ve seen quite a few of you on TV too.”

Yoo Dahee casually scanned the faces of the tense heroes, grinning as brightly as a child receiving a birthday present.

“Sonic Blade, Laser Sight, All Strength, Invisible Woman, Justice… Hmm. Honestly, your names are a bit cheesy. Have you all been watching too many American superhero movies?”

Though Yoo Dahee criticized their names, the heroes standing there were quite skilled.

“But it seems none of you want to fight. Tsk. Well, that’s understandable. You can run away if you want.”

“What?”

Yoo Dahee smiled faintly.

“But, do you think you’ll be able to run away?”

Her gaze shifted slightly.

“With all these people watching?”

People?

“People in this country are so amusing. Normally in a situation like this, they should be running for their lives. But look—”

Yoo Dahee gestured with her chin toward the crowd.

In the distance, people were glancing in their direction.

Some of them were even busy filming or snapping pictures on their phones.

“Look at these foolish people, taking photos of a dangerous villain instead of running. Seriously, do they just have nerves of steel? Or are they just plain stupid?”

“So—Sonic!”

“Hmm?”

“F-fight!”

“Huh? What, what?”

A confrontation between heroes and a villain.

For a fan of heroes, it was an event full of excitement.

Just like this—

“So—Sonic Blade, fighting!”

“Take down that brat!”

“Go, Justice!”

“Laser Sight, show her who’s boss!”

Rather than running for their lives, the citizens started cheering for the heroes.

Seeing this spectacle, Yoo Dahee smirked, her expression filled with fascination.

Oh, really now?

They’re putting their hopes on these heroes…

They think they can defeat me, Yoo Dahee?

Well, now.

That’s a bit insulting.

Do they really think my fearsome reputation is just smoke and mirrors?

Ehh.

How rude.

Still, I don’t hate this kind of atmosphere.

…There’s something satisfying about breaking things.

“Haha. Looks like the people are expecting you to win.”

“…”

“As heroes, don’t you want to meet their expectations?”

“…”

“Oh, who knows? You might actually be able to beat me. After all, they say numbers can overpower anything.”

“…”

The heroes frowned.

Yoo Dahee was far too relaxed for their liking.

Even though they knew she had extraordinary strength, there were still many heroes here. On top of that, more heroes would soon arrive.

Meanwhile, Yoo Dahee was alone.

No matter how strong she was, an individual’s strength would surely have its limits.

Moreover, with all these people watching, they couldn’t afford to run. Their reputation, status, and position as heroes would be utterly destroyed. A hero running with their tail between their legs in front of a villain? The next day, they would be booted from the hero industry without any excuses.

“…”

“…”

The heroes exchanged glances and nodded subtly.

There was no other choice now.

They just had to stall for time until reinforcements arrived.

One of the legendary heroes, Han Incheol, was also present at this festival.

If a commotion broke out, he would come running soon enough.

So they just had to endure until then.

Endure against Yoo Dahee.

“You think you can make light of heroes just because you got some power at a young age?”

“Hmm?”

“Let’s see what you’re really made of, Yoo Dahee.”

“Oh? Quite the confidence you’ve got there.”

Bam!

In an instant, one of the heroes disappeared from sight.

It was Sonic Blade, a hero who had activated his ability.

A man in his mid-30s, his superpower—as his hero name suggested—was supersonic speed.

A speedster who could run faster than the speed of sound.

One of the fastest heroes alive, he was confident that in terms of speed, even Yoo Dahee couldn’t keep up with him.

“You’re fast.”

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

A speed that ordinary people’s eyes couldn’t even follow.

His movements resembled Yoo Dahee’s Transcendent Transformation technique.

He blinked from side to side, throwing off Yoo Dahee’s vision with his relentless instant movements.

Sonic Blade swung his sword repeatedly. His strikes were supersonic, but Yoo Dahee narrowly dodged each one by a paper-thin margin.

It was so fast that even Yoo Dahee could barely see it.

And yet…

It was too simple.

“Well, yeah. You’re fast, no doubt, but…”

A hand stretched out at some point.

“You’re too predictable.”

“Huh?”

Yoo Dahee caught the blade, her expression betraying disappointment.

The sword was tightly gripped in her small hand. No matter how much strength Sonic Blade used, he couldn’t budge it.

Sonic Blade immediately tried to let go of his sword.

But Yoo Dahee’s fist was already barreling toward his face.

It struck Sonic Blade square on the jaw.

Several teeth flew out like kernels of corn.

His nose collapsed feebly, and his cheekbone was shattered.

With a pained groan, he rolled dozens of meters across the ground, crashing into the front of a distant building. The sound of the impact echoed as he bounced back from the fractured doors.

He foamed at the mouth before losing consciousness.

“Sonic!”

“Ahhhhhhh!”

“No way! He went down in a single hit?”

“How is that possible? Is he dead?”

As Sonic Blade, who had become famous for his supersonic movements, was taken down in one hit, people were thrown into a panic.

Quite a few of his fans were present, making the shock that much greater.

“What’s this? Over already? Ah. How dull. Do today’s heroes have no guts at all?”

“Sonic! Damn it! Don’t you dare touch Sonic!”

Laser Sight, who was close to Sonic Blade, burned with rage.

He quickly took off his sunglasses.

Beneath them, his eyes glowed a deep red.

Laser Sight.

He was a superhuman capable of shooting deadly beams from his eyes.

Using lasers that pierced even steel with ease, he had defeated numerous monsters, earning his rank as a top-tier hero.

“Yoo Daheeeeeee!”

“Did you call me?”

“Wha—?!”

Just as he was about to unleash his powerful laser beams—

Yoo Dahee, using her Transcendent Transformation, swiftly appeared behind him.

Stunned, Laser Sight hurriedly tried to turn his head, but Yoo Dahee chuckled and poked her finger into his eye. Poke!

“Aaaaargh?!”

Screaming in pain, Laser Sight clutched his injured eye.

Yoo Dahee, yawning as if bored, kicked his shin.

With a sickening crack, both of his legs bent in the opposite direction.

His knee joints twisted, and bones burst through his skin.

Laser Sight writhed on the ground, screaming in agony.

“What a letdown.”

Yoo Dahee clicked her tongue and reached out towards empty space, quickly grabbing hold of something.

“Aren’t I right, Invisible Woman?”

“Kkk- krrrrk! Krrr!”

Invisible Woman dangled from Yoo Dahee’s grasp, struggling for her life.

She had dropped a poison-covered dagger and was flailing to survive.

Though her power enabled her to hide her form, body heat, and scent, it couldn’t escape Yoo Dahee’s senses.

“I hate invisibility powers. I had some things stolen earlier, you know.”

“K-Kkya- kyaah, pl-please, spare….”

“What? Did you just beg a villain like me for your life? Wow. Disappointing. Hugely disappointing.”

Yoo Dahee showed her disappointment, shaking her head.

“Your fans would be so heartbroken if they heard you say that.”

She began to squeeze harder and harder.

“Heroes should at least show some backbone.”

“Khh- khhhh, khhk, khhh.”

Finally, Invisible Woman slumped over, having passed out from lack of air.

Showing a dispassionate expression at the pitiful hero, Yoo Dahee tossed her carelessly to the ground.

The remaining heroes froze, unable to make a move.

They knew that if they moved first, they’d become Yoo Dahee’s next target.

“Now then…”

Yoo Dahee shifted her gaze.

At the end of her stare were the other heroes.

“So… who’s next?”

***

“Jinhyuk, isn’t it time yet? Is it still not ready?”

“Just a little longer. Please hang in there.”

From a distance—

A group of people watched the situation from behind a barrier.

It was none other than Lee Jinhyuk’s party.
