The Spoon Villain Is Obsessed with the Hero Again Today - Chapter 70



The Man Who Doesn’t Believe in God (7)

Rashid Belkhalem thought. There is no god in this world. If there had been a god, this damned world wouldn’t have been created in the first place.

A hideous world covered with monsters and beasts. No matter how much we call out to God, He will not come to save us.

Here, someone would say. In such difficult times, we must unite under the name of God. We must fight.

When he was actually in his hometown, there was a man who made a similar proposal to Rashid. He was the leader of a group of child soldiers. He approached Rashid, recognizing his talent.

But Rashid refused outright. Because there is no such thing as a god in this world. There is no need to fight for a god. So he left North Africa, wandered all over Europe, and finally arrived in Korea.

There were many things that happened until he came to Korea. In his hometown, he was ostracized for not believing in God, and in Europe, he had to endure all kinds of humiliation because he was a refugee.

That wasn’t the end. He was even betrayed by the refugee comrades he had trusted and lived with. He was falsely accused of something strange.

He left his hometown to be free from the shackles of God. But the place he arrived at was an even worse hell.

It was there that Rashid realized. It wasn’t monsters or demons that made this world ugly. It was humans.

Rashid’s younger sister, Nelly, was like a pillar of support for him. No matter what happened, Nelly always stayed by Rashid’s side. Even on the harsh refugee journey, even in the impoverished life in Europe, that small child never cried even once. She just silently followed her brother.

What sin did that little child commit to suffer so much? So Rashid swore. He would do anything for Nelly. Not only food, but also school, hospital, whatever she wanted, he would provide.

And if Nelly was ever in any danger, he vowed to run to her and protect her.

That was the only reason Rashid lived in this world.

Rumble─!

And now.

Rashid once again jumped into hell to protect his one and only sister. This time, it was a place full of monsters, not humans.

He had to rescue Nelly from within.

─Grrrr….

Countless monsters blocked Rashid’s path. The monsters bared their sharp teeth, ready to bite Rashid at any moment.

Thud─!

But the opponent was merely a monster. In front of Rashid, they were nothing more than ordinary ground bugs. Rashid lightly trampled the monsters as he advanced.

Crunch─!

If there was a monster rushing at him, he would crush its head with his fist.

No special weapon was required to defeat the enemy. Rashid had a body that was more flexible than a sword, more destructive than a blunt weapon.

His body was a weapon itself.

─Screeeech!

No matter how many tens or hundreds of monsters rushed at him, it was useless. When Rashid swung his arm once, the monsters were all smashed on the spot.

Rashid was like a walking tank.

Bang─!

Bang─!

But the problem was the bombardment that was now being heard. He could somehow deal with the monsters, but Rashid couldn’t handle the falling bombardment.

Bang─!

No one knew when, where, or at which point the shells would fly. The next shell could fall on Rashid’s house at any moment.

“….”

This is not the time to hesitate. I had to find Nelly before the shelling hit the center of the town.

Rashid decided to pick up the pace.

─Grrrr….

“You. Move aside.”

Rashid cleared the monsters in front of him and headed towards the direction of his house.

The only fortunate part was that the number of monsters decreased as he got closer to the center of the town. Most of the monsters were mainly concentrated in the outskirts of the town.

Bang─!

Rumble─!

At that moment, a shell flew over the surrounding buildings. Perhaps because the buildings were so old, they collapsed helplessly like sandcastles.

Rumble, rumble, rumble─

It didn’t end there. Due to the impact, the surrounding buildings also began to collapse one by one. It was like watching dominoes fall.

Rashid ran towards his house before it was too late.

Click─

Fortunately, Rashid’s house was intact. The front door was still standing, and the living room looked the same as usual.

“Nelly. Nelly.”

But the most important person, Nelly, was nowhere to be seen. Today wasn’t a day for daycare. She should be at home at this time.

“….”

Could she have heard the shelling and evacuated somewhere else? But it would be very dangerous for her to be alone. The area was full of monsters. In fact, there was nowhere for Nelly to run.

Unless someone helped her.

“Hey. It’s brother.”

It was then.

A child’s voice echoed from behind Rashid.

“When did you come? What about school?”

It was right outside the front door. There, he found Nelly carrying a large travel bag. It was the bag they used during their previous evacuation.

And.

“Nelly. That.”

Next to her was a large spoon. The spoon was floating in the air near Nelly.

By the way, Rashid had seen that spoon a few times before. Any student from the Han Yul Military Academy’s combat department would recognize that spoon.

It was Shin Yoon-sung’s weapon.

“Spoon. Why. Here. Is it.”

It was literal. Why is the spoon here? This is not a school. This is the neighborhood where Rashid lives.

It means Shin Yoon-seong shouldn’t be here.

Bang─!

While lost in thought for a moment, another bombardment sound echoed. This one was a bit louder than before. It was enough to shake the ceiling.

“Brother!”

Nelly shouted urgently.

“This is not the time to be like this! We need to get out of here quickly! Soon, shells will be flying here too!”

“What…?”

Rashid blinked once. Soon, bombardment would fall here too. How did Nelly know that?

“Look here!”

To answer that question, Nelly pointed to the spoon next to her.

“This spoon is telling us!”

It was precisely the head of the spoon. A holographic image composed of blue particles was unfolding there.

The image showed a map. It was a map of this neighborhood.

Additionally, it detailed the specific bombardment coordinates and even the places where monsters were concentrated.

Just like a navigation system.

“…”

Was that it? The reason Nelly wasn’t flustered by the sudden monster attack was all because of the spoon next to her.

Thanks to the spoon acting as a guide, Nelly was able to stay safe.

“Why.”

Rashid couldn’t understand. Even before, Shin Yoon-seong kept hovering around him.

Why was that? Was it really just because of one practical evaluation? Just to be in the same group as Rashid?

Or was there some other ulterior motive?

Bang─!

“Kyaa…!”

But now was not the time to be thinking about such things. As previously warned, shells were soon to fall here.

For Nelly’s sake, they had to get out of there quickly.

“Use this.”

Rashid took off the helmet he was wearing and put it on Nelly.

Nelly wrinkled her nose once.

“Ugh. Strange smell. And this is too loose. It doesn’t fit me.”

“Still. Wear it.”

The moment he tried to take a step with Nelly in his arms.

Whoosh─!

Out of nowhere, a spoon blocked Rashid’s path. The spoon flew ahead and started wriggling on its own.

It was a sign to follow it, trusting only it.

“….”

The spoon definitely knew the way. If they followed the direction the spoon pointed, they might be able to get out of here safely.

But.

Can it really be trusted?

Can he trust a man named Shin Yoon-sung and risk his life?

Rashid was still unsure. He was a man who didn’t trust people, not even gods.

He couldn’t just follow someone recklessly. He couldn’t be betrayed again.

Bang─!

“Brother! Hurry!”

“….”

But currently, Rashid had his young sister in his arms. He couldn’t put Nelly in danger because of his stubbornness.

This was all for Nelly. Rashid finally chose to follow the spoon.

Thud─!

“Ah…!”

Rashid took a strong step. Nelly screamed at the tremendous speed. Like a child on a ride.

Whoosh─

The spoon also started moving forward. It guided the way, matching Rashid’s speed.

Boom─!

Before long, they could see a bomb falling on Rashid’s house.

It was fortunate that all they lost was the house. There were no valuables inside. He didn’t feel much regret.

Surviving was more important now.

Bang─!

Bang─!

It seemed that the bombardment in this area had begun in earnest. The massive sound of artillery echoed several times. Occasionally, the screams of monsters could also be heard.

Boom! Boom!

However, the path Rashid was taking was different. There was no bombardment or monsters here. He just had to follow the direction the spoon pointed.

“That spoon is so amazing! It’s like a magic broomstick! Right?”

“….”

Rashid thought the same. It was always a fascinating object.

Not only did it stretch and shrink like a rubber band, but it could also fly in the sky. It could even display images.

For a mere spoon, it performed strange tricks. Perhaps because it resembled its owner, its weapon was also unpredictable.

─Team leader! Someone is coming! It’s that giant who jumped in earlier!

Following the spoon absentmindedly, they soon began to see people one by one. They had already left the village.

And then.

Tap─!

In the distance, they could also see the owner of the spoon.

As expected, it was Shin Yoon-seong. He called the spoon, which had been floating in the air, back into his hand.

“….”

If it were an ordinary weapon, it might have been a pretty cool scene. The problem was that it was a spoon.

Honestly, it looked a bit ridiculous.

At least to Rashid’s eyes.

“Wow! It’s the guy who bought us pork belly! He was the one controlling the spoon?”

But it seemed different in Nelly’s eyes. She looked at Shin Yoon-seong with sparkling eyes, as if she had met a magical girl from a children’s cartoon.

From noble mtl dot com

“That’s really cool!”

It seemed Nelly was still just a child after all.
