How the Villain Lives

13. Doubtful ears,

There may have been woodworkers or architects, but there are also plausible log houses and stone and wood composites, as well as woodwork and mangroves.

Once on the other side, I started to look around the town as if there was a battle going on. I don't know if I should be surprised, but there was food and firewood and logs piled up in one place.

Sung-hoon, who was hanging around here and there, immediately blew up and approached near the big rock in the center of the town.

There was a pile of stones of various sizes around the giant stone, so if you put your body in between and cover the front with a camouflage, it was possible to hide the appearance. You won't notice anything strange in this darkness unless you bring in a nearby light. And not long after, people started to show up nearby. Some were injured and others suffocated to see if the excitement of the battle had not subsided.

"Monkey bastards. I can't sleep because I've been attacking so fast all night."

"Today, however, there is a sense that the raid ended relatively sooner than before. Rest easy, everyone. There might be another ambush in the middle of the night."

"Yay yay."

'You have a strong up-and-down relationship.'

Perhaps the name of Hatefa seemed to be large.

I thought it would be better to hide properly and move when people fall asleep. The moment I was nervous, something unexpected happened.

"Uh, uh?"

"Fortune Lord! Suddenly something happened."

"Evade!"

A man in red leather armor suddenly pulls an arrow and points a protest at something. The people on that oblique line flew away in a flash, and at the same time the arrow that was giving off the white light flew like a glow.

"Oh, my God..."

The arrow digs into the rock to see how powerful it is. As if it were a tofu, people swallowed a drool unconsciously, staring at an arrow that dug barely enough to see its feathers. The fear of the opponent, who blew this arrow in an instant, continued to rise.

A man holding a white Horn Bow, Caucasus kept his face still and looked at the place where the arrow hit him for a while, and raised his arm as if nothing had happened.

"I felt something, but I guess I was in the wrong mood. Don't worry, everyone is passionate about what you've done."

It was a fairly high-pressure tone and an attitude that seemed to live with the complaints of others, but no one said anything. He was one of the five rankers in this town and the most powerful ranker. When the white castle disappeared to a log house in the corner, some of the remaining people began to disperse to enter the property or stand guard.

When the sound of the worm, which had covered the moon several times and cried occasionally, began to rot between the stones, the face of the Holy Hun appeared. With an incredibly tense expression, I saw an arrow stuck exactly a word away from my finger as I looked at my face slightly from the disguise.

If people had noticed the commotion and not twisted their heads sideways, that arrow would surely have pierced their heads.

'Hu. Ranker, too.'

It is not negligible if you are a ranker.

Sung-hoon has the ability to cope with situations that are almost universal. However, it is never universal. Melee warfare, magic, and reading may have reached a certain level, but it was obvious that stealth was far more attractive to experts. At least it would have been obvious if you hadn't mastered the skill of pretending to kill.

After turning his head carefully and looking at the place, Sung-hoon, who confirmed that most people were watching only the outside of the book, got up carefully and began to move around the giant stone. When I moved carefully, not fast, but not slow, I could soon notice something strange about Sung-hoon.

Cave?

There was a big hole in the giant stone.

Looking at the wide aisle where two people could enter with their arms open, Sung-hoon decided to go inside soon. We have to get out of here before daybreak. And it was never easy to infiltrate again.

It is better to check it when you can.

It was not so dark inside, but it was possible to distinguish some contours with the dim moonlight coming in from the outside and the sight of the Holy Hun. Suddenly, when I stepped inside, a message window appeared before the eyes of the Holy Hun.

[You have entered the bypass of the space. If you pass through this place with strange forces flowing, you will fall elsewhere.]

"Byway of space?"

My forehead frowned on the first time I heard of it.

I don't know what's going on, but I didn't think it would be good to get through like this. I didn't know exactly what was beyond this and didn't intend to challenge myself a bit. The first is safe, the second is safe, and the third is safe.

As soon as he thought there was nothing left to save, Sung-hoon hurriedly turned around.

Pavák!

"Argh!"

Three arrows that flew suddenly.

Two shots were avoided, but one hit and rolled. I didn't just take it lightly. The results of the arrows piercing through the rock were appalling.

[I'm detecting an intermediate poisoning.]

[Poison rating is' Advanced 'type,' Immediate 'effect is' Paralysis']

"Poison?"

I've never seen anyone use poison besides myself.

At that moment, numerous thoughts passed through my head. However, nothing was satisfactory. The archer in front of the eye was undoubtedly a ranker. You want me to run through rankers wounded and poisoned and run off in the middle of nowhere?

It was not worth thinking about.

"Don't move!"

The fortune teller said he was trying to catch the arrow alive. But I didn't mean to be gentle about what he said.

'Shit, it's a change of plans.'

The horoscope relaxes briefly as it starts to stumble with its shoulders struck by an arrow. I thought I was poisoned. Then, taking care of the moment, Sung-hoon blew back as if he were falling forward.

[Pass through the bypass of space]

[The flow of strange magic begins to envelop the whole body]

Faaah!

"Oh my!"

I was embarrassed by the sudden light that appeared and put the protest on hold, but the goal was long gone.

The White Canal had a first-class hunting job that had undergone a primary awakening. I used that ability to secretly set up an alarm trap near the entrance.

But soon after I fell asleep, I realized that the trap was triggered and got up quickly and came inside. However, I missed my goal.

Who is it?

When I looked at the floor with a torch, I saw a drop of blood falling faintly on the floor.

With a drop of blood on his finger, he immediately brought his finger towards his tongue. Of course, it is not because of perverse tendencies.

[Wild sensation triggers]

[Prey Rating is' Excellent ']

[The scent of wisdom flows from the blood]

[You can track the target for 1 hour]

"Wisdom?"

The wild sensation, a hunter's skill, is able to guess information about the opponent through fatigue.

Looking at the information that came to mind, the castle hardened its expression. The grade of the prey is assessed based on its stats. There were never many who could excel at ranking themselves.

That's probably about the top 100.

And most importantly, it's separate.

The smell of wisdom in the blood was an important factor in guessing the other person's occupation. Probably a wizard, a priest.

Ranker, wisdom.

There was one conclusion that could be drawn from these two sources.

"Kim Lee Hyun. I know you want to retreat early today, but why don't you turn your eyes and do this trick?"

Kim Yi-hyun, one of the top rankers like Kang-hyun, spits out blood and murmurs.

"Goal setting."

[Goal setting will be triggered]

[Tracking time increases to 3 hours. Increases all stats by 5% when faced with hunting.]

The Cave Castle, which had increased its tracking time, soon left the cave and quickly summoned people.

"Haam. What's going on?"

"I don't think there was an ambush today."

"Kim Lee Hyun just disappeared on the byway. I think I snuck in during the raid. I just showed up on my own whether I was confident or not."

"Isn't that the priest of his profession? You had to come into the priesthood alone?"

"I was a top-ranker before I was a priest. Not a shallow opponent. That's what I'm saying. Set up a few chasers right now to track down Kim Yi-hyun."

At the words of the Hundred Fortunes, everyone shut up.

"Can I? If Fortune falls, it will be difficult to protect this place."

"Hmph. As long as Kim Lee Hyun is gone, I can leave it to the deputies, but I can keep it to myself. I had to supply it and if I could kill Kim Lee Hyun anyway, I couldn't do better than this."

At the end of the horoscope, everyone nods. It was plausible.

"Finish preparing and gather in five minutes. Start hunting."
