How the Villain Lives

52. Destruction

Everyone thought that no one could survive in there, but Sung-hoon ended up miraculously surviving in that horrible bombing. Of course, it was not the perfect success, but only half.

"… Argh."

"Seriously, employee! Do you have any potions now?"

"Hey, there's this guy! But this wound..."

I was happy that I survived at first, but soon I was forced to check the wounds of Seong Hoon and look so hard. I activated defensive skills and prevented them from using physical means called Borang, but in the first place, it was impossible to stay alive with Mirina and the attendants, not alone.

The left hemisphere, which was exposed to the outside, was torn from the gallows, and the debris was stuck in it, making it extremely hard to see and open its eyes. Most of the wounds, whether fortunate or unfortunate, melted from the burns, so no bleeding occurred, and there appeared to be no further decrease in health. As he had never seen it, the employee did not hide the embarrassment and moved around, whereas Miri began to apply potions to the wound area as quickly as possible and tore the scroll.

'It's a miracle you're alive.'

It was hard to stay sane because of the questions about the current situation and the extreme pain that came from the wound, but the heart of Sung-hoon's head was strangely calm. I began to analyze the current state of myself and my colleagues, the existence that could trap me, and how to get out of this position.

'Mirina barely wears one arm, and the attendant has a big cut on her leg. At least I don't know how to get out if I'm okay...'

"Me, Mirina."

"Be quiet and focus on recovering now."

"Get me up."

"What?"

Even though I was dedicated to concealing my appearance and recovering my wounds, I was forced to make a frozen sound when I asked Seong Hoon to wake me up suddenly. A normal person might have ignored this kind of talk, but Mirina wanted to think about it for a while. Soon, without saying a word, she stumbled beside him and began to wake up. It was something I could do because I firmly believed that there was no way to make meaningless orders from the heart.

"Tongue, brother?! What if you show up now?!"

"... this is for the best. There's no way we wouldn't even think of surviving if we had the power to spill the traps just now, dozens and hundreds of high-level magic at once. I brought in a squad of senior rankers, at least two or three top-rankers."

"Then we have to run away even more!"

"It's impossible to hide or flee right now. Then at least gather as much information as you can. What kind of guy, no, what kind of guy did this?"

It was the negotiations that revealed themselves. If I thought that I was going to attack with the intention of killing, but resurrect, the capture was a much better option. If I saw that I survived this encounter, I would likely come directly to capture. And soon, as expected, dozens of people from afar began to approach cautiously, forming a march.

If you think of it as an overwhelmingly favorable situation, there was nothing strange about it even though the atmosphere was relaxed. If you look at the Ilitus with one eye open, you can see that they are watching the Ilitus. Then, as he checked his familiar face, Sung-hoon lowered his head with a dismal expression.

"It's been a long time, ghost, no Yooseong Hoon. You look pretty bad."

"I didn't know you'd see it this way. Yooseong Hun."

"… Sorry."

"Don't look so scary. Aren't you going to get what you've done so far anyway?"

Jack, tough, Yoo Baek Woo, Kim Lee Hyun.

A top-ranker that can never be ignored is surrounded by dozens of top-rankers. And as soon as I checked the face of one person behind Jack, the three stiffened up without saying anything.

"I wish I was dead, but I'm so sorry to be alive."

"I had a rough guess."

"Eh, Elle sister?"

"……."

The reaction of the three people who saw Eli, who should never be here, was each one of them. Sung-hoon was making a blurry expression as if he knew he would. The servant rubbed his eyes several times and checked Eli again. Miri only turned the tip of the sword quietly without saying anything.

"Surprisingly bold, aren't you? I thought Sung-hoon would try to rush right away after checking my face."

"... I don't think I need to ask, but I will. Are you betraying me?"

"I'm so sad that I had to give you an obvious answer to an obvious question, but I guess so."

"Oh, no. Why is Elle sister..?"

"Mirina. Calm the servant down."

"Oops, oops!"

In fact, Sung-hoon wanted to rush to kill Eli right away. But no one else knew, but he shouldn't have. It was he who temporarily made alliances with each other to help, but knew better than anyone that Eli's nature was evil.

It's meaningless to ask why Eli betrayed you like a servant. It was natural to betray him if he thought that acting together was no longer profitable, but rather a better option to resent himself for not predicting when he would betray him.

'I've entrusted Eli with almost every authority, but at least I wouldn't have fallen into this situation if I hadn't vacated the city. In my own way, I thought there was enough vigilance for Eli, but eventually, it all ends up like this with a moment's gap.'

If I had remained in Xin Xian, I would have noticed how strange Eli would have been if he had done his tricks. However, the water had already been poured out and it could not be picked up again.

"Coercive sir. No matter how much I..."

"Kiyaaaah! Hey, you can't do that! Your tongue is as subtle and deadly as the tongue of a viper or Satan. If you're wondering what you're talking about, you'll get caught up in a new story without even knowing it."

"I agree with you. I didn't get hit once or twice with my eyes open on his side."

'... the fuck.'

No, I was just about to make dinner with Jack who was chopping on the charna. But what Jack said next was completely contrary to what he had just said.

"But right now, I don't care how much you make fun of that prick. No, please do something. Huh?"

"Jack. I don't even give this guy a chance to talk..."

"Hey, we already have a solid relationship, right? But how many words does he have to say? Was our relationship that bad?"

'Not enough ordinary defeat. You can whip around as much as you want, so try everything you can! What would you look like when you knew that everything you had built up so far was gone, that you couldn't get away with anything, and that there was only despair left?'

Seong Hoon was already a beast trapped in us. He remained confident, believing he could get away from us, but the moment he knew it was impossible, he was so desperate to know what to say and what to do.

"... coercive sir. Even if I don't like it, Jack is from another city. What is the difference between those who used to attract Japanese forces to create an internal affair and those who are now under duress? This is like cutting my flesh."

"That's ridiculous. I didn't know I was going to say this, but even if you couldn't do it, I wouldn't have done it like this. I know all about what you've been doing with the research you've been doing and the information you gave me."

At the time of Kim Lee Hyun, an endless rival who left Shinxi behind, everyone already knew what Kang-hyun thought of Sung-hoon.

"This is not my flesh cut. Rather than pretending to be beneficial, it treats parasites that stick to the body, and it also treats dangerous bugs that can endanger life."

"... Yoo Baek Woo. Do you have any intention of stopping him? You know this isn't a good choice right now. Now that you're attacking me, you're throwing out the Magic Sword Miriam. What are you going to do with the next two top-rankers?"

I thought that Yoo Baek Woo would not give up the value of two top-rankers, and I could release the story in the direction of just imprisonment for later use. However, he opened his mouth without hesitation at the end of the day.

"How many people do you think you can clear the mission with?"

"Yes?"

"Mission to determine the successor of the gods. And we all know that God's number is at least a dozen, not one. Not just one person can be honored, but literally the final stage is just ahead. Is it necessary to be hostile in this situation to someone else in the city?"

"……."

"It's only the Alliance and Utopia now, but we're going to have a great alliance with The Hope and the Red Storm, and we're going to work together to clear the final stage. There's a balance problem between the four forces, and it's certainly Tom for both of you, but Sung-hoon doesn't have the most important credit."

"Ha!"

Even if you talk to the compulsion, at least the lips that you were wearing are now completely stiffened. The next thing he looked at was Kim Lee Hyun, but he opened his mouth before Sung-hoon said anything.

"Don't try to convince me. No matter how sweet you try to seduce me, I'm already better than you are in that field. If you cut off all the people here and put a knife in my throat, the story will change, but it's impossible, isn't it?"

"... It's you, I guess. More than that, I'm the type to gain insight."

At least, I couldn't achieve anything from the three strong, Yoo Baek Woo and Kim Lee Hyun. At the end of the conversation, Jack, who looked down at the lips as if he was enjoying a mask that was increasingly distorted, slapped his forehead lightly, as if thinking about it later.

"I forgot to tell you this. Did you say the guild you built? It's been a long time since Eliyang's full cooperation came to an end. And as soon as he's dead, rankers are standing by to catch him."

"That's a lot to say."

"Now that the persuasion has returned to failure, aren't you going to escape by dying? I thought I would. No, no, no, no, no."

Jack, who was kicking and laughing as if he knew everything, immediately looked at Sung-hoon with a big smile.

"I was originally thinking of experiencing fun things I couldn't describe with words when I caught you, but I changed my mind a little bit. Kneel and crawl four feet."

"... What?"

"Didn't you hear? Crawl four bales and jerk off like a puppy. Because I like cute again. If you look as cute as you can, maybe I'll show you some compassion and improve your treatment."

"……."

"You don't have to hesitate because you have a necklace and a cute name. Come on, let's go."

'It's over.'

Looking down at Sung-hoon, Eli sighs a little. I'm done with this. It's Elida who knows more about Seong Hoon than anyone else. I try to look like a giant, but I can't help but be a timid, timid, low-life villain. So far, I've worn a lot of masks and concealed the nature of it, but everything has been drawn as though I had a hand in what choice Sung-hoon would make in a blown situation.

A strand of rope pushed out from a situation that requires constant physical and mental suffering without even dying. I know that there is no possibility of keeping Jack's promise for a thousand minutes or ten thousand minutes, but we have to rely on that probability, and if it is Sung-hoon, we will surely have to do what Jack says. Then, after a while, Seong-hoon's mouth opened.

"... I will only offer it once."

"What?"

"It's not too late, so stick around. This is the last amount for you."
