The Hero Became Obsessed With The Villain [part 2 Complete]

Chapter 291

Above the ocean in Busan with Lee Seola in my arms, I clicked my tongue and looked toward the sky.

"My heart feels magnificent..."

The wild waves and whirlpools are a mesmerizing collaboration.

Even the whirlpools on the other side of the ocean were stirring, and I was almost confused whether it was Busan or the Caribbean Bay. Korea is cool today, everyone.

"Da...Egostic. Hello?"

And there she was, giggling in front of me.

As she rubbed her long light blue hair against my chest, I smirked and opened my mouth.

"Yes, Icicle. What have you been doing?"

"Can't you tell? I was stopping a terrorist attack."

She smirked, as if my words were obvious.

...As bizarre as this situation of a villain having a friendly airborne conversation with a hero might seem, I've already had quite a few similar situations with Stardus, so it's a familiar feeling. I don't even have a camera with me, so who cares?

Anyway, with that thought in mind, I let go of Icicle for a moment and took stock of the situation.

Kugugugung-

Things were looking pretty bad.

It was starting to rain in the sky, and there was even lightning. The sea was in a whirlpool, a tidal wave, a tsunami, and basically every water-related disaster seemed to be gathering. At first glance, it was almost like a scene of carnage.

...But, if you don't get overwhelmed by the visuals and look closely at the situation, you can see something.

It's that all of these disasters, despite the gory visuals, aren't really tearing the city apart.

They're just hovering over the ocean with a lot of momentum, but they're not coming towards the city. The tsunami was still stalled, just hitting the coastline.

Of course, I don't know how long that's going to last, but that's the way it is right now.

With that view of the scene, I had a vague idea of why Ariel had done this.

'...A show of force?'

The last time Ariel had asked me to join her Egostream I had refused because she was weak.

...And I thought she'd given up because she went home so depressed, but I guess not. She came back with such a surprise.

Perhaps this attack was her way of proving to me that she is strong, especially when it's a passive attack that has my style of casualty-free massacre.

Yes, I'll find out when I talk to Ariel over there, and I suspect she'll stop if I say a few more words but that wasn't the issue for me anymore.

I had other things on my mind.

"Egostic. What do you think? Shall we go together to finish this?"

Looking up at Icicle, who was looking up at me as she made ice cubes to dry her soaked and clinging T-shirt, I thought to myself.

Lee Seola is an A-list hero.

President of the largest conglomerate in Korea, Yuseong Group, Stardus' best friend, and the dark force that ruled Korea behind the scenes in the original and still does today.

Unlike her overwhelming behind-the-scenes persona, where she manipulates the political system and plays with the country, her abilities as a hero were quite lacking compared to other A-classes.
