How the Villain Lives

39. It is difficult to pretend to be kind.

When I left without even a rebellion that changed my initial attack, I thought I was floating.

I thought I was still somewhat skilled when I dealt with the twin swords.

Seeing that the sword was no longer pushed when it was unfolded with a mixture of a medium kick and a body technique as well as a sword, he squeezed the sword into his hand.

When the relatively weak but soft sword and the strong but hard sword were alternately struck, the enemy stopped attacking and opened the streets by firing a strong double sword, rather than rushing to defend them.

"What's your name?"

It was extremely rare for Mirina to ask the other person's name first. Someone who should only cut down enemies for her. No more, no less. At this moment, however, Arben was judged to be more than just a slasher.

Arben, who was dumb with his sword for a while, said in vain, as if he had come to his senses late.

"Arben. What's your name like?"

"Miriam. She says Miriam. Beware, you have a horrible nickname for Mage, unlike what it looks like."

It was Choi Hyeol, who had a tense expression, stretching his longsword between the two. A well-refined knife that seemed to cut everything from Mirina, and an image of a shield that seemed to stop anything from Arben, Choi Hyeol evoked the storm.

The energy that wrapped around the body was causing the wind as it rotated marginally, and it was the earliest form that was still shaking without concealing the feeling that it would send off the enormous energy contained in the longsole. Neither of them can be defeated by swordsmanship, but in terms of simple firepower, he was now the foremost man in this position.

"I thought there was a strange opponent, but now I see a familiar face. What are you doing here?"

"Do you know this woman?"

"I want you to know that it's not my two mouths. First of all, I went on a mission with Arben here. And Mirina here is one of the top rankers in Korea. You know what I'm good at, right?"

"… definitely."

For the first time ever, Arben, who had experienced pushing in terms of skill, replied, trying to maintain as much peace as possible.

"We all know each other's skills. You all know that if you fight that much, you'll earn more than that. I think we should just compromise and back off here."

"I don't really care. No, I'd rather fight more."

"Mr. Iron, I appreciate your concern, but we don't have to back off. Rather, I want to fight more."

Mirina was interested in Arben's screening, which changed dramatically over time, and she was gaining some insight from her encounter with a stronger person than she had ever encountered before. And they were both confident that they would win.

'Quite a talented opponent. How far can I follow you if you play a little bit?'

'I felt like I was purposely suppressing the sword just so I could catch up with it closely. If she changes her mind right away, she will have to be beaten, but if Lucia gives me enough help...'

As the two men increasingly moved up, Choi Rail, who was trying to broker the situation as a third party, was forced to move up. The people around him felt the air getting heavier and began to step back with a bluish complexion.

"Damn it! Do I have to do this?! Let's talk about this! Which one of you is going to yield?!"

"Then step back over there. I don't have the heart to back off."

"Neither do I. You're gonna back off with your winning streak? What do you intend to say to the Elves? Don't do that, help me. Together, you and Lucia can win."

"You bastard!"

"I can't imagine three top-rankers beating each other. That's a monster! Do you want me to just splash it like this? '

His pride has led to the collision of tens of thousands of top-rankers with his fingers. If we fight like this, one or more of us will definitely bury the bones here. Those who were silently staring at the three confrontations and the Dark Elves swallowed the dry spit unwittingly.

Miri's sword moves slightly, and Arben's knee bends forward as the earliest energy moves rapidly. The battle will begin at Chalna's moment. The moment that the general public can't even perceive, that even the fighting parties are not thinking and moving, but are moving according to their instincts. If it had not been for someone who had been invaded immediately before that moment, at least one person's life would have been lost.

Qaaaaaah!

"Huh?"

"Huff!"

"Fuck?!"

The three men who felt that all their attacks had been blocked by something bounced back and forth, each vomiting their emotions. The opponent waves with a strange mask, touching the sword holding it as if it were a joke.

"Ghost!"

"Damn, I've been wondering since there was a sword..."

Realizing that things were completely twisted, Choi Chul began to sink into the air with a sigh. It's crazy to fight two top-rankers, though. There was also a reason why Arben didn't know his skills. If he returned to the city anyway, he should look at his face. It was a little annoying to buy grudges in this place.

Meanwhile, Arben looks down at Pragarach, who is still trembling marginally, and raises his guard towards the opponent called the Ghost.

'Due to Pragarach, my screening is twice as powerful as before. But I was pushed rather overwhelmingly.'

It was also struck by a lightweight dagger that had just landed in the air, not with a firm foot on the ground. Strength is much higher than yourself. It is clear that agility and practical experience will be outstanding if you get caught in the right timing, and if you don't panic a bit even during this violent magical encounter, you will have high magical power.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Ghost. He likes to be around. Well, I can see a familiar face among them.."

"Hmph."

"... I've never seen a face before. If you don't mind, can I ask for his name?"

"It's Arben."

"Oh, nice to meet you, Arben. Can we get straight to the point? As Choi Chul over there said, it would be nice to mediate and break up with each other at this point."

"I'll tell you again. I don't intend to back off here. It is you who stand down."

"Hmm. If the battle escalates here, there may be casualties. Are you still going to fight?"

"No matter how many people get hurt, I don't think I can change my mind."

It was Mirina who stopped Arben from going forward.

Slurp!

"I don't want you to stand up when you say it."

"……."

As Mirina lifts her sword, Arben steps back unwittingly in spite of the chills felt throughout the body. Sung-hoon, who looked at him, clapped in exaggeration.

"This is an interesting situation. To tell you my own story, I'm a pacifist who, preferably, hates fighting. They prefer to have conversations rather than fighting. So I want you to work through the conversation, preferably. Honestly, you don't want to see blood, do you? Right?"

As you can see, Sung-hoon, who returned the sword to the sword, grabbed the tip of his cloak and slightly raised it and smiled. It seemed like an act of restraint, but it could play a major role in releasing the tension that had soared to the limit. When the opponent really didn't seem willing to fight, Arben began to calmly grasp the situation by sinking his excitement.

'Myrina and a ghost. And Mr. Choi Chul here is from the same country, so in the worst case, you can stick to them. Is it 3: 1 or 3: 2 against top-rankers?'

It's not good. Eventually Arben decides to have a conversation as suggested by the ghost.

"Looks like you're ready. So let's first listen to the condition over there."

"I want you to back off with the Dark Elves in this Node. Help the injured or the body to do all the work, and do not pursue them while they retreat. Isn't that good enough?"

"Hmmm, that's definitely not a bad idea. to prevent further damage and to help the wounded recover."

"Human! What are you talking about?" "

Peaset!

The Dark Elves, trying to protest against the strange atmosphere, shrug their cheeks slightly and shut their mouths because of the blackness Mirina shot. Even though the disappeared Seonghun suddenly appeared and acted nonchalantly, Miri did not panic, but rather tried to act for him as much as possible. It was proof that I trust Sung-hoon that much.

"Then I'd like to hear about your condition."

"Oh, you mean my condition? Hmm, I don't know if I can say this. I'm not sure Mr. Arben will listen to me. I don't think you want to disagree."

"What do you see me as? Tell me."

"Well, let me tell you my terms."

Sung-hoon, who took a small breath, took a bold word out of his smiling face.

"Get the elves out of here right now, you idiot. I'll give you exactly ten minutes. I want to chase you all down now because I feel bad, but one of our city's top-rankers is over there, so I won't let you see it this time. Oh, leave the wounded and the prisoners alone."

"……."

I couldn't understand what he was saying at the moment, so I had to stay awkward for a while. The surprise was the same for Choi Chul Hyung. The ghost insisted on being polite and polite at any time and anywhere, but the words that flow out of his mouth are unbelievable. And I thought in addition.

"Are you talking or fighting?" '

"This body's proposal is so generous, you must be impressed."

"... Are you going to tease me?"

"Huh? You made fun of me? I'm serious."

Kwajik!

Arben, who was about to throw up his anger, bounces back. One stroke ahead of his movements, Seong-hoon stretched out his fist. The specs of Seong-hoon combined with the extraordinary powers of 3rd Awakener and Superman were uniquely unique among the people here.

Seong Hun, who was thinking about putting an extra tar in it, smiled bitterly at Arben's armor of light. When Lucia, hiding somewhere, begins to cast a secondary spell, Arben's eyes begin to see the power. If the top-ranker uses all his abilities to assist, he will certainly have the power to fight with Sung-hoon for a while.

"What brings you here?"

"To drive out the Dark Elves who destroy the forest and return the land to the Elves!"

"Phew, Phew, Phew, Phew, Phew, Phew, Phew, Phew. In the meantime, if you fall in love with the Queen of Elves or the Princess, won't there be a character in the story?"

"I'm just trying to help the poor!"

"Are you trying to help the poor? Wow, you're such a great adult!"

Khh!

"What you're doing is trying to destroy this forest and annihilate the elves!"

"That's right. But what should I do?"

Rune Blade bends the sacrum and starts to egg Arven's body. Without Holly Armor, there would have been so many wounds. However, he bounced off to a nearby house after being struck by the kick of Sung-hoon, who was subsequently flying.

"I'm really curious about the criteria for the poor guy you're talking about. The dark elves here look pitiful to you, don't they? All of a sudden, these dark elves were ambushed, lost and injured."

"The first thing that attacked the Elves was the Dark Elves! This fortress was originally owned by elves too!"

"Hmm, you're saying that since the Dark Elves attacked first, it's natural to help them, right? So what would you do if the Dark Elves were persecuted by the Elves first?"

"What?"

That was a problem Arben had never thought of.

I have helped anyone who looks pitiful in front of me and practiced what I think is good within the limits of what I think. But he who was called a ghost took what he thought was beyond that as an example.

"Nasty dark elves who ambush, reveal cruelty and destroy forests compared to beautiful elves who look so beautiful and who desperately protect the blue forest in their infancy. Of course, you can't learn without helping the Elves. Dealing with these filthy dark elves, restoring peace in the forest, and hearing thanksgiving."

"By the way. Haven't you ever thought about it this way? The truth is, these Dark Elves were unwittingly persecuted by the Elves. It's like in the past, on Earth, white people had captured black people and enslaved them for their skin color. These dark elves, they stand up with no more anger."

"Then this is how the world works! Our hero Arben, who helped the Beautiful Elves, actually became a happy son of a bitch who helped the evil elves who hid their nature. The dark elves who woke up to live like human beings or like elves will go back to their past persecuted lives because they don't know where they came from."

At the end of the words of the Holy Hun, which poured out like a sapphire, only silence came around. What the Elves and Dark Elves were trying to say, but they were forced to remain silent, even if their mouths were focused on living in Miri.

As Sung-hoon continued to speak, Arben, who was sweating softly, barely opened his mouth and squeezed out a word.

"... Is that story true?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? That's what I just made up."

"You son of a bitch!"

Qaaaaaah!

"Heterosexual?"

Mirina, who imitated the skill she had spread, could also confirm that his talent was not ordinary. Arben's examination, which struck him like crazy, took out each and every one of them and defended them.

"But that might have happened. Maybe something similar happened."

"So what do you say! Even if you wanted to say you're good and I'm evil!"

"What nonsense!"

There is one reason Sung-hoon is annoyed with Arben.

It's not because he's a good person. Like Lucia, who can be said to be equally good, I felt a little distant. She is convinced that what she does is good if she just gives it to someone else, and she does not even have any suspicion of what she says.

Whether he sacrifices himself and saves countless people or accepts the traitor again and genuinely sensitizes him, it is not for the Holy Hun to know. However, his attitude that he was absolutely right about what he was doing stimulated Sung-hoon. I didn't like the pale sense of justice that could come out of the story.

"Is the justice you're talking about just helping someone who looks more pitiful, and there's no doubt about that? I'll say it again. Get the hell out of here, or we're gonna make a life decision here."

The presence of the eight-circle magic in Pragarach was also disturbing, and Choi Hyeol did not know how to react in this situation. Unfortunately, it was after a more definite opportunity to catch Arven.

"……."

"If you don't step back, I'll rip you apart with my sword right now. Oh, of course not you. Someone who hides away and wears recovery magic and assistive magic. If you can stop it, try to stop it."

"Shh."

Arben, who hesitated, made up his mind because of one word. There was no way to stop her if a woman named Mirina stopped herself and a ghost ran towards Lucia in between.

"... Got it. I'll back off."

As soon as he heard the answer, Sung-hoon scratched his ear with his puppy finger as if he had waited.

"Well, who told you there was no reason to change your mind even if a few of you were beaten before? It doesn't matter how many Elves or other countries we've met, and the one person we're talking about right now, does that change your mind? Hmph, it's hard to be nice."

"… get everyone ready to step back."

"Man! What's the matter with just one foot left?"

"Be quiet! He's a tough guy to beat. If you do that, everyone here could die. Are you going to die here, or are you going to survive and avenge this humiliation?"

"... Damn it!"

In an instant, looking at Arben, who persuades Elves, Sung-hoon gives out his tongue slightly.

"The horse is a liquidator."

"Ghost, I'll back off now. But the next time I see you..."

"What next time we meet?"
