Chapter 849: Bitch Training Camp (2)

‘Hiiik! D-don’t come any closer!?’

As I took a step closer, Geum Dallae, Bitch No. 2, crawled on the floor with a terrified expression.

Her vigilance towards me had certainly heightened, likely from being hit a few times.

‘…….’

‘I-I said don’t come closer!’

‘…….’

‘Hiiik, S-shitttt!?’

After crawling on the floor for a few steps, No. 2 hastily got up and ran away from me.

There was nowhere to run anyway, but I let her run wild for now. Making her think she had even a sliver of hope before crushing her with despair would be a far more terrible pain for that woman.

‘W-why are you acting like this?! I said I’ll give you double! It’s a good deal for you too!?’

‘D-don’t come any closer and talk from there!?’

‘…….’

‘Y-you fucking bastard!?’

With a ‘what the hell’ expression, Bitch No. 2 charged at me, fully determined. She seemed to be aiming a punch at my lower body, a man’s weak spot, but dodging the punch of an ordinary woman, who didn’t even have a striking-type awakening ability, wasn’t that difficult.

…And naturally, counter-attacking through the opening created the moment I dodged that attack was also not a difficult act.

-Hweeeeing!

‘Ah, ah….’

-Peoeok!

‘Gkuh, Hweeeuup!?’

Twisting my body to dodge lightly, I drove my right fist into Geum Dallae’s solar plexus once more. During the impact on the area below her chest, the woman’s fatty tissue brushed against my fist briefly before separating, but I felt absolutely no arousal. It was just that I vaguely remembered hearing before that women’s breasts are one of their vital spots, so getting hit there causes more pain. A fleeting thought crossed my mind that I should test that theory later.

No. 2’s body slid across the floor after being hit by my punch, but this time, without wasting time, she got up and put distance between us.

‘Y-you, just you wait, you bitch!?’

‘…Wait, my ass.’

What was she going to ‘wait and see’ about, when there was no escape route anyway? Even though it was a sealed room, Bitch No. 2 ran towards the wall, seemingly thinking there must be some mechanism to open the door from the inside, but she just ran around frantically, caressing the blank wall with no success. The only entrance, the warp gate, couldn’t be used anyway since I had put it in my subspace pocket earlier. Of course, even if that woman tried to use it alone, it wouldn’t have activated.

Just watching her blankly for a moment, as if to let her struggle as much as she wanted, Geum Dallae ran along the wall, desperately searching for an exit, and after a few minutes, she collapsed onto the floor, exhausted.

-Teolsseok.

‘Haa, S-shittt…. What kind of structure is this…. Where is the exit….’

-Jeobeok, jeobeok.

‘H-heegeuk!?’

Even as she tried to catch her breath on the floor, the moment she heard my footsteps approaching, Bitch No. 2 forced herself up and fled. In the end, just as I had initially predicted, the woman fled to one of the four corners of the room, grabbed a weapon hanging there, and started watching me warily. She couldn’t imagine that the place itself was practically an armory I had deliberately set up for her.

-Seureung.

‘D-don’t come closer! I warned you!?’

No. 2 pulled out a sword from the weapons displayed in the corner and gripped it forward. She seemed to be trying to make do with the sharpest, longest-reaching weapon available, but from my perspective as someone skilled with swords, her stance was utterly laughable. Besides, since her awakening ability was mental-type, she probably hadn’t actively worked as a Hunter, and likely hadn’t handled weapons much in practice.

‘I-I don’t want to kill anyone if I can help it?! But if you come at me like this, you fucking bastard, then everyone’s gonna die!?’

‘…Try it.’

‘……Huh?’

‘I said, try killing me with it.’

As I calmly told her to try killing me without changing my expression, No. 2 looked back and forth between me and the blade in her hand with a bewildered expression. She seemed incredulous that I, with no weapon and approaching empty-handed, would say such a thing. Especially that a man, not a woman with something like an awakening ability, could be so bold.

‘Shit…. Y-you think I can’t do it…?’

‘…….’

‘Ugh, Ughwaaaaaaak!?’

Bitch No. 2 lunged at me, swinging the sword with a clumsy stance and half-hearted yell. I easily dodged the utterly ridiculous attack and punched Bitch No. 2 squarely in the side.

-Peoeok!

‘Ugh, Kkwaaaaaaak!?’

Staggering after taking my punch, she wobbled but miraculously didn’t fall. Instead, she clutched her side and gasped for breath.

‘Hup, Kkeu, Heueuk….’

‘I told you to try killing me? What, suddenly you don’t want to kill me anymore?’

‘Y-you fucking bastard!?’

Geum Dallae was losing her grip on reason and approaching again, swinging the sword. This time, perhaps having thought things through a bit, she swung horizontally instead of vertically, but in doing so, she left her body completely undefended.

-Teop.

‘……Huh?’

I slipped through the recklessly exposed opening, grabbed No. 2’s wrist, and gave it a light twist.

-Kwajik!

‘Ah, Aaaak!! Aaaaaak!?’

-Ttaenggeurang!

Unable to endure this pain, No. 2 dropped the sword from her hand. Watching her fall backward powerlessly while clutching her wrist was pathetic and comical.

-Cheolpeodeok!

‘What the hell, weren’t you going to kill everyone? Looks like you’re the only one dying here.’

‘Y-you fucking bastard….’

-Peoeok!

‘Gkuh, Heuaaaak!?’

Did she still have the mental capacity left to curse? Was she tenacious or just stupid? My shin left yet another bruise on the belly of the downed No. 2 as I lifted her into the air once more. It seemed like it would take more time than expected to completely break her spirit and teach her some manners.

‘Hup, Kkeuheuk….’

‘Try again.’

‘……W-what?’

‘Pick up any weapon from over there and try again.’

‘…….’

Bitch No. 2 stared at me blankly, as if she couldn’t understand what I was saying. I had no obligation to explain twice, so I silently walked towards her.

‘D-don’t come closer!?’

‘…….’

‘I told you not to come closer…! Shiiit!?’

Bitch No. 2 grabbed whatever weapon came to hand and threw it at me. It was just a pity how carelessly she threw away weapons that were like precious opportunities, one by one. Daggers, throwing knives, hammers, axes, and even staves or staffs, which were likely included just for show, were all thrown haphazardly as she tried to threaten me. However, given the weight of each weapon, even throwing them with all her might, she could only manage one or two at a time. Moreover, these were weapons a bit too heavy for a woman without strength-related awakening abilities to handle effectively. It wasn’t difficult to dodge No. 2’s desperate throws, most of which hit the floor immediately after being thrown. As I took each step forward, my feet eventually reached right before Geum Dallae’s body.

‘I told you to kill me. Why can’t you do it?’

‘H-hiiik! Spare me, spare me….’

‘What are you talking about? I just gave you the chance to kill me. You’re the one who threw that chance onto the ground, you fucking idiot.’

‘…W-what?’

‘I went to all the trouble of setting up this stage for you to try and kill me, so why are you just standing there stupidly? You should at least be thrashing around, swinging that sword like before.’

‘…….’

‘That way, you might finally realize that everything you’re doing is meaningless, right?’

‘H-huk….’

She finally seemed to grasp why I had deliberately created opportunities for her to struggle within this space. A woman with her personality needed to be made to realize, at least once, the fact that she was overwhelmingly powerless. Even if that was the start, it would still take a long time to fix her rotten personality.

‘Pick up anything again and come at me. You can even grab one of the things you threw on the floor.’

‘…….’

-Peoeok!

‘Gkuh, Kkeuheueuk?!’

‘You fucking bitch, didn’t you hear me? I told you to pick something up and come at me?’

‘Eu, Kkeuhup…. Hu, Heueup….’

After nervously gauging my reaction, No. 2 finally moved, having taken another hit to the solar plexus. Seemingly realizing there was no way to escape on her own, Geum Dallae eventually did as I commanded, picking up whatever she could find on the floor.

-Hweeeeeeeng!

‘Hukgeup, Uwaaaaaak!?’

-Peoeok!!

‘Kkeuhup, Kkeuhuk, Kkweheek….’

With a tearful expression, she swung the double-headed axe, but it lost its trajectory and embedded itself in the floor. Geum Dallae’s face, which fell while clutching her lower abdomen after taking my punch, ended up buried right next to the axe she had thrown.

‘Next, let’s see you try again.’
