The pleasure of beating Pingtao was truly exquisite.
It was like taking a bite of fresh tangsuyuk from a chinese restaurant, dunked in sauce.
But didn’t this feel like déjà vu?
That’s right. This bitch was getting thrashed by me on exactly the same path Park Junhyeok had gone down.
“Wow, fuck. Park Junhyeok got wrecked like this with a fragment stuck in him, and the main body gets wrecked the same way? You’re one hilarious bitch.”
“I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you! Kill you!”
I told you, I don’t understand chinese.
I smacked her again and grumbled.
“Back when I was an office worker, I was a pretty Nora otaku, so I can understand japanese, but no matter what you say, I can’t understand you. If you want to fight me, shouldn’t you at least have a Hangul Patch installed? This feels like absolute shit.”
“Cough, cough.”
The bitch, after taking a few hits, started coughing and twitching.
Fine, let’s beat her some more. This bitch needed to get smacked around and Hangul Patched.
“Get up, you fucking bitch. I’m going to scrub the word Zhonghua out of your head today.”

Songdo
In Songdo, Ray and Lee Yujeong were eating popcorn while watching Yu Eunha pummel Pingtao - the Sin of Gluttony - on a huge smart TV.
At some point, the Chinese Government’s drones seemed to have stopped functioning, but reporters from the United States, the United Kingdom, and japan were using drones and their own abilities to broadcast the footage worldwide.
SMACK! WHAM!
[“Earth”]
[“You f***ing bitch, hold out those cheeks. I’m going to knock out every last tooth.”]
On the screen, Yu Eunha was beating Pingtao senseless while cursing with mouthwatering flair.
She punched Pingtao’s cheeks countless times, struck Pingtao’s solar plexus, outright shattered Pingtao’s wrists, and smashed Pingtao’s knees.
It was a one-sided beating, plain and simple. The sin china had placed so much faith in was being struck without pause.
China’s hope was collapsing.
“Wow, what do you even do when she’s that pitiful?”
“Well, you have to be prepared for that if you pick a fight with Eunha. Look. She’s getting ripped apart in the live chat too.”
Lee Yujeong worked on her laptop and showed it to Ray.
“What, the whole world is watching this?”
“Yes.”
-lmaoooo she asked to settle it with a duel and now she’s getting wrecked lmaoooooooo
-lmaoooo does she have no learning ability? Fucking international disgrace, getting beaten like a dog lololol
-They say the Chinese Hunter forces got wrecked in Pyeongyang and Pyeongseong too. She really is Yu Jinseok’s little sister. fr
-That impact is insane. Is she actually weak? Could I beat her too?
-Is the guy above insane? Do you not see how fast Eunha is moving, or how the chinese bitch who was sent flying is smashing through several buildings?
-Korea No.1!
Pingtao was suffering international humiliation.
Yu Eunha’s global status was rising.
“This is insane.”
The Chinese Government had openly chosen international isolation and started a war using sin and the Yellow Dragon, so people all over the world felt hostility toward china.
Thanks to that, the sight of a mere cadet from Korea beating down the sin that china had pushed so hard was incredibly satisfying.
“Still, isn’t she amazing? It’s better than watching her get hit. Even in japan, the response is positive. They’re even saying they call Dara the Shinsengumi instead.”
“The Shinsengumi - that’s the Special Forces of that Shinohara Regime? The shogunate? Right? Like the court magic or the Order of Knights in the Elf Kingdom.”
“Yes.”
“That bitch Shinohara Yuzuki is suspicious. I have a feeling. That woman is after Yu Eunha.”
Ray just had that feeling.
That bewitching woman was definitely after Yu Eunha.
“How do you know that without even seeing her? Of course, there’s no woman who wouldn’t fall for Yu Eunha, and if it’s Shinohara Yuzuki, she’d want her for her abilities alone.”
“It’s just a feeling. My intuition as the main wife!”
“Ah, I see.”
Ray and Lee Yujeong thought they could finally breathe easy now.
But neither of them knew yet.
Sin was not called sin for nothing.
* * *
I beat this damn bitch for quite a while.
Useless Pingtao, going and becoming the Sin of Gluttony. This was exactly why she was one of the Heroine lineup I couldn’t stand.
Had she come to her senses a little after getting smacked around this much?
I was going to install a Hangul Patch in that mouth of hers and make her meet the bare minimum requirement for me to fuck her.
Now that she was a sin, I had to keep her near me.
But this damn bitch, who had been kneeling and taking hits for ages, clenched both fists.
“Oh, you fucking bitch?”
“Graaaaaaagh!”
“Who told you to glare up at me?”
This arrogant bitch dared to clench her fists in front of me and glare up at me?
Crack!
I pinned Pingtao’s body down with my knee and slammed my fist into her abdomen with everything I had, but this time she seemed to withstand it fairly well; her body didn’t budge.
“Damn, this bitch is tough. Is that the whole sin thing?”
So I grabbed her by the hair and drove my knee into Pingtao’s face.
With a crunch, I heard her face shatter. And yet she was fine.
“Kek. Cough, cough. Kaaak. Glurk.”
“Where do you think you’re puking, bitch? Huh?”
Then, out of nowhere, she grabbed my arm with one hand and drove her fist straight into my abdomen.
WHAM!
“Ghk?!”
With a meaty impact, I lost my balance and tumbled backward.
Okay, that hurt. What the hell? Where did this bitch get that kind of strength? Was a sin really a sin? Did everything she’d been eating go straight into her stamina?
I think I gave her too much of an opening. I should’ve just put more strength into it.
Even this damn bitch’s appearance had changed.
“Fuck. Of course, if they shoved sin into the Yellow Dragon, the main body of the Sin of Gluttony wouldn’t be the same as in the original.”
The deer antlers growing from her head looked similar to the Yellow Dragon’s.
Maybe she had been mixed with the Yellow Dragon. Zhang Wei must have put a lot of work into her all this time. There was no way he would stop at simply reviving the Yellow Dragon.
In other words, Phase 2.
“Kik. Kki-gigik. Kik.”
She couldn’t even manage human speech anymore. At this point, wouldn’t it be more accurate to call her a Beastfolk from now on?
“Fuck, now you’re finished as a human. We can’t even communicate anymore? Huh?”
THUD! Crash-bang-bang!
This time, I was the one sent flying and rolling several times.
It was the first real pain I’d felt in a while.
Only then did I understand what had happened to me.
Crazy bitch. Whether she was getting stronger the more she got hit or what, she had pulled out a spear and struck me with it head-on.
“Uh. That’s pretty strong. Seriously. My chest feels tight.”
It wasn’t the blade that hit me, but it hurt quite a bit.
Not so much that I couldn’t endure it, but settling this through raw strength alone would be difficult.
I had no particular reason to kill her with my fists, and since she was a Heroine, I had been planning to keep her alive. But this changed things. I’d have to kill her, only stopping just short of actually killing her.
“Kik. Kki-gigik-kik.”
I spent a moment clutching my chest and groaning.
That spear of hers seemed to have been upgraded quite a bit too.
“Yu Eunha! Yu Eunha! Snap out of it!”
Yu Jinseok called my name from far away.
Shut up. As if this much would take me down. It hurt a little, but dealing with a bitch like that wasn’t hard.
It looked like I needed to use Nora a little too.
I took a sword out of subspace and aimed it at Pingtao. Then I gathered White Flame at its tip.
“Kki-gik-kki-gi-gi-gik!”
The idiot bitch must have thought she’d regained the upper hand; she slowly approached, moving her body almost like a puppet.
“White Flame Bomb of Destruction.”
KA-BOOM!
A bomb of compressed White Flame blew Pingtao’s body away.
Pingtao’s body caught fire.
But as befitted a sin, the flames went out quickly.
“White Flame Bomb of Destruction.”
So I kept reapplying it.
If I dragged this out, this damned bitch would pull something even weirder.
So I had to keep pushing like this. Did this stupid bitch think she could beat yongyong-i just because she had the Yellow Dragon’s power?
Not a chance! Yongyong-i is a strong person, thank you very much!
She was extinguishing my fire with Gluttony’s unique power, but she wouldn’t be able to endure the internal damage.
“White Flame Bomb!”
BOOM!
My White Flame Bombs kept burning Pingtao’s body and knocking her down whenever she tried to get up.
I was firing an even more compressed version of the White Flame Bomb that had slaughtered tens of thousands from the Demon King’s Army.
For a sin, she’d done a damn good job holding out this long.
Since she was a sin, this much wouldn’t kill her anyway.
BOOM! BANG!
As I fired White Flame Bombs one after another, this damn bitch’s movements gradually slowed.
Good. With this, I hoped she would finally understand the gap between our abilities and quietly die.
No, not die - if this were HP, I wanted her to have just 1 left. It would be a waste if she died.
But what was this?
“No, does this little bitch never get tired?”
“Kki-gik-gik-gik-gi-gi-gik.”
This bitch kept getting up. With indomitable will, she rose again and pounced straight at me.
WHAM!
She drove her fist straight into my solar plexus and smashed me down into the floor.
Just my luck, it seemed to be where the underground facility was; I dropped straight to the lower level and slammed into the floor.
“Kek! You still had this much strength left?”
I had to get up somehow, but breathing wouldn’t come easily.
“Kki-gik-gik-gik. Gi-gi-gik. Die. Yu Eunha. Evil Dragon. Die.”
Did this thing know about me? Did it know I was Aži Dahaka?
No, Pingtao herself probably didn’t know. It was probably the sin. The sin knew about the Evil Dragon.
After all, the root of sin was connected to Aži Dahaka, so maybe that was only natural. But did that mean it had a reason to go out of its way to kill me?
“You think I’m dying here?”
I grabbed Pingtao’s forehead tightly with one hand. Then I started burning her with White Flame.
“If it’s between me dying and one Heroine dying, the Heroine can die.”
Fwoooooosh.
Honestly, turning into a dragon would be the best option. But because this was being broadcast live worldwide, I couldn’t transform.
The moment I transformed, I would awaken the nightmare of the Evil Dragon Aži Dahaka in people all over the world.
So I had to fight in this form as much as possible.
It would only take time anyway. It wasn’t as if I couldn’t win in this state.
“Kyaaaaaaak!”
“Let’s see which of us dies first, you or I.”
Fwoooooosh.
Pingtao’s head burned, and my neck was being crushed.
Her face would probably keep regenerating. Either she would suffocate, or my neck would shatter. One of the two.
At this point, we were both going all in.
“Wanna base-race, you fucking chinese bitch?”
Let’s bet on who suffocates first.
Since you know about me, I can’t treat you as just another Heroine anymore.
“Kik. Gi-gi-gik.”
“What a shame. Like you said, I’m the Evil Dragon, so I don’t die.”
Craaaack.
No matter how hard she squeezed, I would not die. Indomitable Yongyong-i does not die.
“Kik. Kki-gik. Kik.”
After I burned her face for a long while, Pingtao’s body finally ran out of strength.
The force crushing my neck began to fade.
This damned bitch eventually collapsed. I felt the crushed bones in my neck slowly recovering.
That was what she got for acting up. She only made things harder for nothing.
“Whew, you F***ing Bitch. Seriously the worst. If in this state she’s already a Mutant, I should deal with her now while she’s drained.”
BOOM!
Suddenly, demonic energy erupted from Pingtao’s body.
“Huh?”
B-B-BOOM!
Demonic Energy of Sin continuously overflowed from Pingtao’s body and wrapped around her.
Then that demonic energy slowly took on the shape of armor, just as it once had when armor covered Park Junhyeok’s body.
Armor began plastering itself over Pingtao’s body, which had previously felt like that of a muscular woman, and before long she had become an incredible sight.
“So the first Park Junhyeok was the Sin Main Body’s test subject? Hah.”
Was this real déjà vu?
“Die, Evil Dragon, traitor to sin!”
“Fuck. I have to dodge.”
SHUNK!
I didn’t have time to react. Pingtao’s spear was lodged in my body. From what I could tell, that bitch had thrown the spear at me.
Fucking bitch. Her spear-throwing skill is insane. Since I hadn’t even seen the spear, it had to be some kind of ability.
No - she had made the spear disappear entirely, then embedded it in my body.
That was something in the original Pingtao only used after awakening. How was she using it like this?
My body wavered bonelessly, then collapsed.
- See, you should’ve ended it cleanly in one go. Why did you have to humiliate her…
As my consciousness darkened, I thought I heard those words by my ear.
