How the Villain Lives

9. Glug

When Serena was busy moving in many ways, people worked hard to defeat the monsters and opened the way. The thief user was able to face the giant door as he carefully moved his steps in accordance with the mark that had been pre-marked. The size of the door was large enough for 10 people to face their shoulders side by side.

Those who hesitated without knowing what to do turned their heads and looked at Philip. It was Phillip and Serena who opened the door whenever it got in the way. But Philip shook his head and said,

"This is not a locked door with special magic. It's a normal door. If you just give me the strength, I can open it right away. However, please remember that there is a Demon King beyond this."

People's gaze suddenly focused on the other side of the door. It is a pretty thick door, but there is the final boss of this mission beyond the loosely visible door that can only be pushed by two warriors right away.

"You can't get close enough, can you?"

"All of a sudden, the monsters don't show up, so all of their stamina and manna are intact. Rather, the tension is a little maintained, so it seems like the most appropriate timing to enter."

"Hmm."

The force that is currently serving as the group's provisional leader ponders for a while and opens his mouth.

"Let's get ready as soon as we can. Let the faithful practice all the assistive magic and let the wizards practice all the best spells they can now use. And let's do a series."

"How are you going to cut the line?"

Kim Lee Hyun snuck in and said. Passing by, I said, but in a word, people's attention was directed to the force. I don't know how strong the Demon King will be, but at least he will be much stronger than Elder Hydra. Leading forward against such a Demon King only reduces the likelihood of survival.

Kim Lee Hyun, as well as Serena, who was watching the debate, thought that the deployment problem would be disrupted in many ways. Normal monsters are easy to deal with, but the mood has improved again with a few casualties against the junior boss, Elder Hydra. Moreover, since the Demon King is the opponent, his aggressiveness has been reduced even further.

'The warrior will stand in front of the general rankers here, and the toprankers will not be the front line, but will stand back and fight a little.'

It was everyone's idea to be there. Kim Lee Hyun was thinking of taking the initiative by blaming Kim slightly if coercion came out that way, and Yoo Baek Woo was thinking of restraining Kim Lee Hyun to the right level. Even Mirina, who was not particularly interested in improving her skills, read the atmosphere and did not step up.

However, coercion has acted out of all of them 'predictions.

"How to weave? How to weave? The one over there, Lee Han, is going to fight the Demon King, and the toprankers are right behind him, and the rest of us are going to have to deploy according to their skills."

"Are you saying you're in the vanguard?"

Even when dealing with Elder Hydra, it was the first time he was in the vanguard that he almost died. I thought I'd be a little passive after that, but I didn't see it at all. Rather, I had to be embarrassed by saying that I am at the forefront.

"Then of course we should be at the forefront. So you didn't want to fall behind?"

"Well, that's not it..."

"Whew. If you're scared, step back. In front of me, Mirina, and the three youngest guys, we'll take over the rest of the class, so we'll just step back and act a little bit. What do you think?"

"… Got it."

"I'm sorry, but a man named Choi Hyeol should be at the rear at the start of the battle. I want you to understand that it is necessary to defeat the Demon King."

"Then I have no choice. Me and Mirina will be in the front, so the rest of us can move in exactly the same way we did with Elder Hydra. Everybody move!"

People didn't necessarily move according to their gains.

Some things move by something other than surprisingly profitable while being understandable animals. But people like Serena and Kim Lee Hyun never use that method to move people. Always think calculatively, doubt people, and act. Even Serena, who had the impression of being a princess, persuaded people to use her surrogacy and gain, and Kim Lee Hyun tried to cut off others and elevate her authority.

However, it was moving according to its own emotions without making such calculations. At first glance, it could have been a paddle that seemed ignorant and easy to use, but it wasn't. It was the advantage of being able to move freely.

Rather, it proved itself by one action and unconsciously led people to follow it. He is a natural leader.

'Topranker. I don't think they should be considered other dimensional beings.'

Serena couldn't afford to care less about the toprankers because she was too busy going ahead of herself. I just admitted that I read all the news from the rumor or the information guild. However, as I proceeded with this mission, I realized how much I was a frog in a well.

Serena, who is immersed in becoming strong without obscuring her means and methods, is ranked 21st. However, six top rankers were able to reign as the most powerful men while leading a somewhat larger organization. They weren't just skilled and easy to use.

Known to be the smartest, Yu White Woo acted without understanding people's psychology, but rather became aware of it.

On the contrary, I was able to see the overwhelming leadership that led the greatest forces, but was thought to be a powerful fool. I also learned that Kim Lee Hyun, known as the saint, is a similar kind of villain to himself. Perhaps the most valuable thing to get from this mission was this information, not legendary items or skills.

'We must try harder. I was just excited by myself, and the installation went out of order. If it wasn't for this situation, maybe someone noticed that I was suspicious even if it wasn't Kim Lee Hyun.'

Information given in advance of the mission. Circumstances around and the existence of water poles. All of this was a proper smokescreen to protect itself, but there was no possibility that this would follow. Serena takes her potion out of her arms and gives it to Philip.

"Princess, why is this potion?"

"A healthy potion. Please drink before opening the door."

"Huh. I'm not tired. Please put it in."

"No, I have it. Where do you want to use it?"

At Serena's words, Philip closes his mouth firmly and nods marginally.

'Even if I die here, I will surely kill the Demon King!'

With a light red content, Challenger starts memorizing the best magic he can use right now with a potion bottle in his hand. The moment the door opened, I was going to strike first. Meanwhile, as Philip closes his eyes and starts memorizing spells, Serena gives the rune blade to the youngest man in the back.

"I beg you, I will blow my magic and feel no pain."
