How the Villain Lives

39. It is difficult to pretend to be kind.

Huge waves, black and white wars currently sweeping the continent.

As can be inferred from the name, one can easily recall the battle of good and evil. Although the struggle between the congregation and the Black Wizards was at the beginning, it is now a massive war that sweeps away all groups, forces and factions from individual quarrels.

The overall sentence was basically a little more favorable to the Dark Federation. At least the Lu Church was in harmony, but humans, elves, dwarves, and most other xenophobics had to be pushed a little by the overwhelming volume of the Dark League. However, the charter was gradually tilting in the opposite direction as adventurers began to emerge from all over the continent.

It was natural that something similar should happen here in the Alpine Forest. But there was a story flowing in a different direction from here.

"Damn it! Those bastards!"

A man with a great sword spits greed as he uses his sword as a shield to stop crazy arrows from spilling over his head. Obviously, even a short time ago, things didn't get this tight.

'Apparently there were a lot more people over here and there was a good atmosphere.'

"Warrior! What are you doing? You don't have to go out front and draw attention!!!"

"Hey, you freak! Can you even hear me when I see that?!"

Rain of arrows was pouring everywhere. It's not just a random shooting, it's a sniper of dark elves that can be compared to elves by archery. Charging into a place like this is not possible with dizzy heart. But I didn't have anything to say about the Wizard.

"Fuck! So we're just gonna keep our eyes open like this? If we don't escape now, we're surrounded!"

"... Shit."

"I'm going to put a big one in, so somehow turn your eyes for a second!"

It was an act of putting your head in the mouth of a predator, but if you continue to hold your time here anyway, the predator will come to you. The Dark Elves had their feet tied so that this side could not move due to thorough and planned ranged shooting, and the warriors were slowly approaching and using the operation to finish. There's no way you're going to get caught up in an operation like this.

However, there was a reason why I was forced to do so, even though I knew it clearly.

The first is that there's a lot more numbers over there, almost twice as many. That was why it was possible to exert pressure in this direction. And the second is….

'When I get hit like this....'

"Aaaaaah!"

A warrior who raised his physical abilities for a certain period of time triggered a warrior's cry and bravely ran forward, followed his back, and others began to run. The arrows did not penetrate their bodies thanks to the defense magic and skill of wizards and priests.

Moreover, the arrows began to scatter and fly, whether they did not think that they would react momentarily in such a pushy situation.

'Good, there's a possibility!'

Shaking this siege will make you more likely to live at least now. The warrior thinks so. Once he jumps towards the Dark Elf, he swings the Great Sword over the nearby tree. However, it was a man who was hanging right next to him who saved the Dark Elf that seemed to be splitting in front of the inspection.

Aaaaaah!

Kwajik!

Three people started to crash, breaking branches that couldn't hold their strength. The Dark Elves turned around in the air, so they landed lightly, and the warrior carrying the Great Sword and the man holding the axe that stopped him were facing each other tensely, without having to step back. Whoever is the opponent, the warrior was ready to ring the bell. However, I was forced to hesitate momentarily to report the person in front of me.

"What the hell are you doing here?!"

A man who has known each other's names several times, even though not his best friend. Of course, it is difficult to encounter this during the mission. The problem is that even after a while, this fellow was fighting for the elves like himself.

"Damn, are you threatened?"

"It's not blackmail, you idiot. It's on the dark elf side, in my own way."

"What?"

"Arissa. Is this the one I know? I want you to subdue or convince me, if possible."

"Of course you can't hurt a friend of foil. I will stop others from approaching!"

Seeing the bright smile of a dark elf girl called Aritza, Foil instantly smiles, and then turns his face back and empowers the hand holding the axe.

"You don't have to wrestle with your mouth, either. If you say you're my friend, you'll get an important mission right away."

"What the hell do you mean by that? Did you forget to help the Elves a while ago?!"

"I haven't forgotten. But I had to change my mind because I knew what was going on. I think it's better to help the Dark Elves than the Elves."

This didn't just happen here. A colleague who has been fighting alongside the Elves for some time, or familiar people, has been seen among the Dark Elves. Of course, the fight couldn't have gone right.

In such a crowded situation, the magic created by the wizard, who was finally protected, began to fly towards the center of the forest. The flame magic created by the wizard, who had the most powerful firepower in all occupations, was clearly powerful enough to cause considerable confusion if hit.

"Oh, my gosh, fire is no good. What do people who are old enough to eat?"

If not for the sudden appearance of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Hun, who reached out his left hand and grabbed the bead of fire without grasping the sword, used his magic power to build the magic itself. The efficiency gained last time is not good, but it is a technique that can cast magic. When the magic of retribution turned into a single smoke, the wizard was forced to open his mouth without saying a word.

"Ghosts!"

"Grab him! Just grab him and we're done!"

I couldn't forget that mask and that unusual outfit. Several people nearby left those they were dealing with and immediately turned around and began to rush towards Sung-hoon. It was people who knew that capturing or beheading a blacksmith was much more likely to survive than fighting endless consumption here.

But they were making one big mistake.

"You can't put all these people together for me."

"Argh!"

"Hold, Bind, Wickness!"

"Shake it with your body! He's human, too!"

Numerous curses and restraining magic that cover the body, skills that unfold to shake abilities, effects of various items. However, they had no effect at all.

Excellent Magic Resistance has offset the hold.

Excellent magic resistance has offset the binding.

The Piece of Truth recognizes and understands the anomalies that befall you.

You have more than doubled the Wisdom gap with your opponent. Reverses magic.

Ancient cries had no effect.

…

……

………

I am not resisting by raising magic power in particular. Even though he stood still, things that were harmful to Seong Hoon were disappearing on his own, and there were even wizards who used their magic to reverse and pale their complexions.

'Magnificent.'

In addition to that, I was a little embarrassed by people's faces. Not one or two. The abilities of all those within the range designated by Sung-hoon were overwhelming. Only after activating the debuff skill did the warriors finally arrive around Sung-hoon. It seemed like a very long time had passed, but in fact it was only a very short time.

Gain enough time to think through the acceleration of the incident and split the incident and derive the best response. And as he stood, he lightly turned his back and twisted his body, so that the weapons wielded by the warriors would split the air.

"Fantasy?"

Clearly, I felt like I had cut myself off, and I had no feeling in my hand, so I had to say so. Unfortunately, it was not a vision in front of him.

"Too bad, but it's real."

Kaaaaaaah!

"Argh?!"

He only lightly lifted his finger and hit his forehead, but in the instant when his power went up to 1500 by vaporization, he had the power to crack the helmet he was wearing and blow his body into the air.

"Oh, my God, I blew it so weak..." "

"Space Slasher!"

A swift shootout swung to suit the name of cutting space had a speed that even he could not recognize swinging it. After shouting the name of the skill, he was already swayed by his black sword. So far, no one has stopped this attack. The only solution is to hold on with hard defenses or to stop or avoid them before the skill unfolds.

So the man could not even imagine his sword stopping in the middle. He was blocked in the middle without even moving his black limit. It would not have been so shocking if we had simply stopped it. The reason he got stuck is because the opponent grabbed him with his finger.

"Shouldn't you be embarrassed to shout that name? If this is the case, try to increase your skill level so that you can trigger it with your own will. I can't help it if I'm trying to embarrass the people around me."

"Well, how... how?"

"What do you say? I saw the trajectory of the sword and grabbed it with my finger. Don't you think you can reconsider everything?"

However, it is possible that there should be an overwhelming difference in abilities, such as a difference in abilities between a wizard and a first-class warrior. On the contrary, there is such a gap between themselves and this ghost.

I just saw the Workshop and realized that it was pointless for warriors to resist anymore. Rats in the gut also bite cats, but this has an overwhelming difference that will make even such resistance impossible. The wizards could not help but see that all their blown magic was annulled or reversed.

"Hmm. Apparently no one is trying to resist any more useless. As you all know, there's already a complete siege around here. Impossible to escape, what if I had just one finger?"

Oh, shit!

Bow protests echoed throughout the forest. Those who realized that they were all coming from the bow that the Dark Elves were pointing at swallowed up a drowsiness.

"It's going to be a hedgehog. I don't think anyone understands the situation. If any of you don't understand, please raise your hand. Do you have one?"

"……."

"I don't think so. Now let's get to the point."

Seacock.

Sung-hoon, who smiled brightly without a single dot, now has a lot to do, so he starts to unravel the story in his mouth.

People do hypocrisy. Of course it's not a bad story. For it is better still to do good than to do evil. The problem is that he is brainwashing himself as a good person.

Honestly, is there anyone who hasn't sinned in almost two years since The Mission began?

I can never be there. Once they were alive, it was proof that they killed other competitors, or people in other cities. Even if you only watched it without using your direct power to subdue other cities, it is a sin to watch others die.

However, despite clearly committing evil deeds, people try to be 'nice' by rationalizing that they have no choice because of the situation.

'Even me.'

Even though there is a bit of a frown in the hymn, the image of a good man who resonates and sacrifices himself for others in the city. because it's much more efficient to treat other people.

"The adventurers who are currently working with the Elves are not overwhelmed with justice or determined to help the poor. The real purpose is to help the Elves and get rewards from them."

"I know adventurers love books with treasures and special skills and valuable items. And we're giving those rewards to a few adventurers who are helping us. But most adventurers help elves."

"Absolutely. They want rewards, but at the same time they want excuses for self-rationalization that they've done 'good work'."

Looking at Crimson's stubborn expression, Sung-hoon drank tea.

There are two things that give the same reward. Compensation is the same and the labour force entering work is the same. But one thing is clearly good and the other is evil. If you choose to do one of the two things, everyone will choose a good thing, except for Sung-hoon, Jack Apron, and very few other people with unusual personalities.

What happens if the reward goes up somewhat?

Reasonably, if you think about it efficiently, of course you are right to choose evil, but people are still right to choose good. There will still be those who do good, who refuse to 'do evil', with quite, many, more than twice the difference between the two rewards.

If you commit evil or crimes on Earth, you cannot do so because of people's gaze or punishment. However, even though everyone here has already committed the crime of killing others indirectly and who doesn't come to get them, people are still frustrated with doing evil. So help the Elves. I want to help Elves who are trying to protect the forest, not Dark Elves who can be called evil even if they have the same reward.

'But they weren't as determined as Arben, who had such a solid value. He's just a nice guy, helping the elves to rationalize themselves.'

What happens when you sprinkle a huge loaf of bread in such a situation?

"Please match the ratio of Dark Elves members to men and women. And apparently, they were talking to humans."

"That's what elves do."

I also like to eat good looking bread.

It was important to give the impression that the Dark Elves were not unconditionally hostile to themselves. Didn't you say you can't spit in smiling faces?

"Moving forward, make sure your opponent is respectful no matter how they respond. Don't forget to always be polite and smile when you fight, when you face it. And you'd better make sure you're compensated. More rewards than the Elves give."

"I don't have that kind of stuff."

"Then make it. The artifacts spilled by adventurers, the loot collected from elves, the horns of monsters breeding, precious magical materials, that's what adventurers love to die for."

"If that's the case... it might be possible. But you might be a little reluctant to give me the artifact."

"You're welcome. Will you take it with you? And last but not least,"

I made the image on this side nice and rewarding. Nevertheless, negative images such as' Dark 'or' Dark League 'are still making people reluctant. That's all that's left. It was the final gateway that allowed me to believe that I was doing a good thing, not doing an evil thing.

"We have to prepare an inspiring story. That's something people can convince you of."
