How the Villain Lives

43. Endless labyrinth.

No matter how messed up my situation was, even as relations got worse, people fulfilled at least as faithfully as their roles. They were not stupid enough to pose a risk to the whole organization because of individual emotions. Rather, I knew that it was more important to look minor than anyone else.

I made meals according to my role, and now I begin to spread my sleeping bag over a passageway that has become completely familiar for a long time.

"Hey, give me some more."

"We have to save food. Stop going."

"Your colleagues pay a lot, and you can see we only have a small amount!"

"Can't you see who's waiting in the back? Now go. I'll hear your complaint later."

Argh!

Of course, there were still conflicts between individuals. The control of Kanghan and Kim Lee Hyun has already weakened so much that people do not follow orders well. No, even those in control in the first place are showing mental anxiety, and there was no way for the command system to work smoothly.

Anyway, after a close meal, everyone began to go to bed. A total of four firefighters. It was one person on the strong side and three people on the Kim Lee Hyun side. Not long after I lay down, everyone fell into deep sleep. I couldn't believe it was in the dungeon, but I couldn't understand it. As with the repeated maze, it was the absolute rule that monsters do not appear unless they go to the next crossroads.

In fact, it is only a half-formality to set up a no-show.

"Haaaaaaam."

"What? These?"

He found all three other fireflies lying on his back against the wall and grinded his teeth like it was absurd. I wanted to talk to everyone right away, but soon I was forced to think about it.

'After I woke you up, it was obvious that there would be another fight. Fuck, I should just sleep, too.'

He thought that just standing hard like he was losing a lot of money, and he chose to keep his eyes slightly closed. I was completely lost in my mind. I would not have made this choice if it had been him before he came in here, or if it had been him a few days ago, not even that, but at least if he hadn't just eaten.

Eli, who had been lying down for some time with his eyes closed, carefully stood up and looked around.

'They're all asleep.'

Everyone else, except the toprankers, was secretly buried in a bowl and fed medications that induced weak sleep, hallucinations. It was a drug that would not work at all if it was willful but hard, but it can work well in situations like this. And the top-rankers didn't have to apply the medicine.

Obviously, top-rankers' senses are incomparably sensitive to ordinary people. However, if you react sensitively to each of those things, you will suffer from psychosis in less than a few days. Normally, the senses are deliberately slowed down so that they do not consume mental power uselessly and only bring up the best senses when they want to. Of course, life and adversaries can be easily detected.

"I'm a little nervous. '

I assured Sung-hoon that it was okay, but it seemed like someone would wake up as soon as the people here were people. Approaching one of the sleepers carefully, Ellie raises her closed eyelids slightly and mutters a little before he breaks.

"Illusion."

Skill that shows the illusion you want.

Originally, this skill was only used to surprise the other person for a short time. However, Eli's job enhanced all sorts of aids, hallucinations, and after her own retrofits, she was able to turn them into hallucinations that she wanted for a long time.

As he lightly clasped his fingers, as if haunted by demons, the man woke up twitching, and soon began to walk slowly toward the other side of the aisle so that no sound could be heard. After preparing to go there, Ellie returns to her original position as if nothing had happened again. Only one person had to disappear. Eli knew, however, that one person would soon be driving a huge afterstorm.

"Cyrillic."

At first I thought it was a mistake. Just hearing it, the unique cry of a creepy steel poem resounded in the ear.

'If I had been stuck here, I could hear the hallucinations now.'

It was natural to think so. The location of the monster is also the location. I set it up to the perimeter, but there was no warning until I heard the sound of the monster. As usual, I would have kept my eyes closed and slept like this. However, the anxiety that bloomed in the chest blew away the old energy that was overwhelming the mind and body at once.

At the same time as I felt a chill, I stood up with my eyes open. OK? You can postpone that later. Even when I slept, I held a small dagger in my hand that was not detached from my body and threw it toward where the sound came from.

Kwajik!

"Kieeeeeee!"

The sound of cutting the wind and breaking something. And the strange screams that followed shouted without hesitation.

"Assault!!! Monsters have appeared!"

"Queue!"

People who had fallen asleep in a rumbling voice stood up in surprise as though they had been struck by lightning. However, the city of Steel was already close by. I've captured hundreds, thousands, perhaps even more, but I've never seen an ambush as completely defenseless as it is today.

"Shit, everybody out of the way!"

Kaaaaaaah!

"Shit, shit, shit! '

He hurriedly rolled his foot toward the place where the steel city was pushed. He swung the long window like a windmill and prevented the steel city from approaching. But that was not enough. Some monsters have already dug inside. I focused on pushing as much strength as possible, but it didn't last long either.

What the hell happened? What the hell were you doing? '

What were you doing? Once I investigated this situation, it seemed self-evident that there was a breeze. The urgency is to stop the steel poems once and for all. I fixed the spear, hoping that ghosts and mirinas would be fine soon.

Obviously, Yu White Woo, the wizard, is not very helpful in this kind of turbulence. If Yooseong Hun, the 3rd Awakener, and Mirina, the Genius Prosecutor, join us, we can easily defeat the monsters. If the two of them had moved as they have so far.

Spank!

"What are you doing?!"

The warrior, who was pulling his magic power by fixing his posture, could not understand what was happening right in front of his eyes. Even though he had a slightly gruesome temper, a friend who kept what he wanted to keep suddenly held his sword and started swinging it towards the back.

I could understand if it was an attack against the Iron City. However, the attack was not directed at Steel City, it was directed at Ghosts. Of course, the fact that he attacked even though he was holding a sword by hand did not mean that he would not be able to be attacked by such a lax attack.

"What the...?"

Later, as the light returned to the blurred eyes, the man tried to say something. However, as he spoke out, the hand of the Holy Spirit first extended forward.

Argh!

As he scratched the temple neatly, the man closed his eyes neatly without saying a word. The warrior staring at him looks embarrassed. I didn't know what was going on. A sudden iron rush started in a confused yard from sleep, and the incomprehensible behavior of a colleague. Of course, I was wrong to attack first, but I didn't expect to counter it immediately without hesitation. He opened his mouth to protest something, but soon the warrior also began to swing the weapon that the pupil was holding towards Sung-hoon.

"Oh, stop!"

Sung-hoon, who shouted loudly so that everyone around him could hear him and focused his gaze around him, raised his tail slightly in a position that no one could see, and launched a 'legitimate' counterattack. Then people raised their voices and shouted before accepting the situation properly.

"It's possible that monsters or hallucinations have unfolded! Open the streets to everyone nearby!"

"What?!"

"Wait a minute! It's a good idea to open up the streets in the same situation as now, huff!"

The man who spoke out suddenly burst into a scream as the female archer next to him hit the bow that he held in his hand. Suddenly, as the civil war broke out, people began to panic and stare at the people right next to them with suspicion in their eyes. However, it was impossible to keep the streets open.

Toprankers are easy to catch, but most people here can barely deal with a single one with a few allies. If you open the streets, the Iron City will kill you. If we narrow the streets, we may be hit by our colleagues. The damage was growing in situations where it was impossible to do so.

However, there were two people who wanted to investigate this mess somehow.

"Hold on, Persson!"

"The light of truth!"

Kim Lee Hyun used sacred magic that unleashed all the harmful effects on Yoo White Woo and people who cast extensive restraining magic by hitting the ground with a staff. First of all, it was to try to solve this turbulence somehow. Choi Yoo-jae was just making a dumb face as if he didn't know what was going on, but the two of them started to analyze the situation as quickly as possible.

"Me? In this situation? The sudden appearance of a steel poem is also strange. Anything wrong with this maze approaching the end? If not.. '

'It is clearly different from what it has been so far. Even though I used the light of truth, I can't see why this dispute will stop. Besides….'

The eyes of the two people who unconsciously turned their heads met.

'It was Kim Lee Hyun's men who attacked first!'

'There is no dispute among my men. Everywhere there's a fight, it's a mighty force!'

At that moment, at that brief moment, something horrible happened to everyone.

A man next to Kim Lee Hyun raised his sword and swung it toward Kim Lee Hyun's neck. The membrane of light that came from the body just before the touch blocked the sword, but there was still quite a serious wound to the neck.

"Argh!"

It was a sudden injury, but Kim Lee Hyun also didn't take the position of top-ranker by gambling. He fixes the wand he was carrying and smashes the warrior's face open and puts a recovery spell on his empty hand and brings it to his wounded neck. A wound that starts to heal quickly. Kim Yi-hyun exclaimed without hesitation as the late guard slashed the warrior's neck.

"Kill all but your allies!"

The bright light from Kim Lee Hyun's hand curled people's bodies. However, if so far no one has used divine magic without hiding it, I only cast magic on the men I brought with me. Yoo Baek Woo, who can clearly guess who Kim Lee Hyun is talking about, began to roll his head as he grinded his teeth.

'Punishing me in this situation is a suicide that is just right for me to put my life at risk. But….'

Setting things down in a calm conversation in front of fanatics who rush to kill is not suicide, but a knife to the throat to kill. And Yu White Woo made up his mind.

"Focus on dealing with the Iron City, but from now on, we will deal with the enemies except us! Don't try to overwhelm me in the middle, but finish it thoroughly!"

As long as Kim Lee Hyun is holding back from the back, some serious injuries will soon recover. If you fight, you must fight to kill the enemy. That was also Kim Lee Hyun's position. Even if you buff and recover as much as possible, the quality of the individual is far ahead of those of the most powerful. Above all, there are two top-rankers, Yoo Baek Woo and Choi Yoo Jae. From the very beginning, I gave the order to be perfect.

"Kill him!"

"Don't leave one!!!"

There were warriors, fanatics, and someone who was looking down at him as he hit the Iron City. It was Eli. Eli disguises himself as being beaten by someone and falls right into the corner while the first iron rushes in and people create an inner chaos. Of course, if you want to, you can use magic simply so that you don't come near yourself.

'Wow, this is so lame.'

To be honest, Ellie didn't expect things to go so perfectly. No matter how well I tried, I expected to reduce the number of people considerably and only the top rankers would remain as the suspicious ears grew over time. However, the magical power he used was so perfect.

No, in this case, I had to see that the situation around me was so appropriate. In the first place, the Class A mission, the maze of the Thousand Rifles itself, is done in a way that shelters and disintegrates people's minds. For those who had been weakened for a long time in this place, it was possible to create a big fire by bringing a little fire seed.

'Anyway, let me keep doing my job.'

I didn't even intend to use magic towards the toprankers. If you succeed in resisting, you can immediately guess that this situation was created by someone. That's why there were only those who thoroughly studied her magic. At first it was a false dispute, but somehow the atmosphere completely changed to 180 degrees, and inside the maze was literally the middle of the battlefield.

'Top-ranker is….'

"... You're doing great."

They are thoroughly aware of their role. For top-rankers, the right opponent is the right one. Eli closes his eyes slightly as he looks at the servant with a pointless, vibrant smile glaring toward Choi Yoo Jae as he turns his dagger.

"Ahhhhh! Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh! Why do you keep running away?"

Kaga Gaga River!

Two sacks of Sword Breakers and Daggers were throwing up the sound of tearing their ears as they fried their fire poop. Choi Yoo-jae grinds her teeth as she looks at the employee who sticks to her.

'Strong!'

I didn't think I'd be pushed this far in a supermelee battle with a dagger. No, I had the feeling that I was a millionaire. Of course, if the surrounding space had been somewhat secured, he would have had to be pushed without hesitation to allow access from this difficult place to the nearest point. However, Choi Yoo Jae, who realized that he was possessed by pure melee fighting, urgently opened his mouth.

"Hey, kid! Put the weapon down! I'm not your enemy!"

"Huh? But your men attacked a ghost brother, right?"

"Well, there was a misunderstanding..."

"Focus on dealing with the Iron City, but from now on, we will deal with the enemies except us! Don't try to overwhelm me in the middle, but finish it thoroughly!"

It was very unfortunate for Choi Yoo Jae that the words of Yoo White Woo were echoed. His face turned into a poop face and the servant's face turned brighter.

"This is political defense everywhere right now. Don't worry, I won't kill you."

"How can you believe that?"

"I don't care if you don't believe me. Because anyway.."

'Gap!'

Noticing that the boy's movements were slightly slower as he spoke, Choi Yoo Jae quickly began to grasp his body with a gift using a snap of his wrist.

It's over!

It is possible to adjust sharpness according to the addition of magic power. In the same situation, if Choi Yoo Jae has only one finger, it is possible to make the opponent into a piece of rubber. So Choi Yoo Jae suddenly let go of his mind.

And unfortunately that was the best mistake he made. An employee who enters combat status increases his attack instinct to an extreme extent, even if he is careful. There is only one situation in which he is willing to give up the battle, whether he dies perfectly or stops the battle.

Dismissal!

Spank!

Two sounds echoed at once.

It was the sound of flesh being cut off from the body of the servant captured by Eunsa and the finger of Choi Yoo Jae, who was controlling Eunsa. The employee twisted his body a step ahead before Choi Yoo Jae moved Eun Sang to create a gap and cut off his fingers.

If you just listen to me, it looks so easy. However, it is not something anyone can do. Is there anyone who can stand in front of a footstep while the sword touches the body? No, there is inevitably a slight gap because of the pain that comes. However, Choi Yoo Jae first knew that such a person existed at this moment.

"... crazy."

With his whole body soaked in blood, the servant approached directly in front of his nose, smiling and reaching towards Choi Yoo Jae.

"I don't care about your doctor."

'If this is the king, I want you to call him brother rather than uncle..'

Choi Yoo Jae closed his eyes quietly, leaving a strange impression.
