I was born as a Son of Villain

It was dawn, man's deepest slumber. I'm tired of fucking men and women. Time for bed. At that time, even the front-line fortress is silent.

Soldiers stand guard on the walls, but that's just a formality. When a horde of horses attacks, they wake up from a loud noise from afar. There was no reason to be nervous and vigilant.

That's why I couldn't find it.

A giant boar descending from the mountains and approaching the walls. The clever one approaches quietly when the moon is hidden in the clouds and speeds up at the end.

Kuang! The walls tremble and the entire forward fortress trembles. What the angry soldier saw was a boar taking his body and preparing to charge again.

Kuang! The magic guarding the wall broke with the second charge.

“Mazuda! Mazuda is here! ”

It was the last act of a soldier in a lifetime when he shouted and announced a scream. And that was heroic enough.

With the third charge, the wall collapses and the soldier falls along with the rubble.

The boar came into the castle and snatched people up as soon as he shut up.

“Shhh!”

“Help me!”

Most of the people on the front-line fortress were ordinary people. The ants were all equal in front of the creature that broke through the walls in three attacks.

A man stands in the way of a rowdy boar, with torches all around him.

“That's messed up.”

The duc said with grief. I never thought a horse this big would attack alone at night. It was the first time he had taken charge of the frontline fortress. The walls collapsed, and the casualties seemed to have been catastrophic.

“Phew.......”

He sighs a little fatigue and hangover and blows it out of his body. A whirlwind rages around the corpse of the duc and reminds me of the wreckage of the building.

“Where are Yoon Sun and Marco? ”

“He says he's in a hurry. ”

“I see…..”

Bad times, too. Two hunters are out, and Snow is nursing because her internal injuries from the battle with the Seven Dragons are no better. Power has been cut in half. I had to be prepared for the damage.

‘Please, let the spiritual wind protect the fort. ’

Soft and courageous. The Crocodile Duc struggled with a Boar showing bravery that his name is not ashamed of. Marco and Lee Yun Seon arrive in turn, catching and killing the Boar.

Civilian damage, but minor damage to the whole fortress.

People mourned each other and comforted each other as to where it had gone so far.

But this was just the beginning.

The next day at dawn. The beast has breached the wall.

* * *

After hearing all the explanations, Fei looked around the people sitting at the round table.

A round table. It's hard to find at a noble's house. At least Fey saw the man who used the Round Table as a meeting table. The square tables and their headings are symbols of power.

On the contrary, the Round Table symbolizes equality. Nothing worthwhile in noble societies. The man who insisted on equality was a weary face. I saw no lifelike and smooth appearance at all.

And so does everyone else. Everyone sits in their seats, exhausted and annoyed.

Three of them are gangsters in the territory, and one of them is just as strong as the gangsters in the body. The other one is the Great Wizard who single-handedly turns the tide of the battlefield.

In the meantime, people who do not show fatigue outwardly complained of fatigue with their whole body.

Every day or every other day, angry horseshoes crashed into the walls. With an abundance of potions, you've healed all the trauma, but you can't stop the overlap between internal injuries and fatigue.

“Have you identified the cause? ”

The profit line shakes its head. Once it was a formal meeting, he used a shark.

“Shallow changes are common, but it is unreasonable for such variations to occur in succession. All those horses went mad and crashed into the fortress walls. ”

But the problem is, and Yun Sun is thumping. I knocked the table with my fist.

“I dug up nothing from the corpse of the beast. Anything that can lead us to the case! ”

In a short sentence, Lee Yun Seon, who expressed her feelings, sat down. No one would blame him. Everyone was in the same mood. There must be something that can only be done about it. It was a hell of a ride.

“The hunter Pesam. What information?”

The duc gives you a sharp look. He wasn't always the relaxed type. If we don't get the right answer here, we're in a bit of trouble. Especially emotionally. When people are in the mountains when they fight, they come in late and say that they have found nothing, and they touch people with sharpened nerves.

“My soul is fading. ”

“Soul?”

“Only someone with the gift of a Spirit Master can feel it. A dark and sinister spirit engraved on the entire mountain of Shamans. The concentration of the soul is fading recently. ”

“Isn't that great? ”

Snow asked naively. Lee Yun-gun, who was sitting next to him, smacked his head in half. He seemed to have been beaten quite strongly, but he stared at Lee Yun Seon who was overwhelmed by snow.

“Son of a bitch, think about it. The spirit fades, and a strong confounded number appears. It's connected, right?”

“Oh! They've grown up with spirit! ”

Theo raised his voice as if he had made a great discovery.

“The hunter Pesam. Is that what you think? ”

Faye nods at the duc's question.

“What about the others? Do you have any other ideas? ”

Everyone expressed their positive opinions with something.

“Then what we need to do is figure out how the horses absorbed the spirit and became stronger. That's.......”

He turned to the two hunters sitting side-by-side with the duc's gaze, and others' eyes returned to him naturally.

“The storm is approaching and lightning is starting to strike, and it's a pity that there are only two people left to enter it. ”

A deep sigh comes from the mouth of the duc of acid. The Duke of Shanghai once stood out in the mountains showing off his bravery. I knew more about Mount Shao than anyone else.

The law of survival is completely different in and out of the mountain of horses. Even a young monk in the territory is a burden on his own knowledge. You're not a hunter, but only a hunter can move freely in the mountains.

“Hunter Pesham, Hunter Alec. Let's keep them searching the mountains. I look forward to finding the cause as soon as possible. ”

“I'll try. ”

“I don't know if it'll work, but I'll try. ”

Alec and Faye replied in turn.

“The rest continue to defend the keep with me. ”

“Wait, there's a limit to what we can do. Without backup, I'm out of here. ”

Marco intervenes. Staying in the fortress at the front is relatively easy and safe to earn money. There was no reason to bury the bones in the keep, and Marco didn't intend to.

“Two weeks. Five reinforcements in two weeks. We just have to hold out until then. I'm officially hiring you. ”

“You do realize there are more people at stake here, right? ”

“I'll pay you back the same. ”

“If that's the case.”

Marco, who was about to get up from his seat, sits back on the chair with his butt flat.

There are still two left.

“If you risk your life to fight, you might become infantry. I'll be here. ”

“I have to stay because of this fool. ”

He expressed his intention to leave behind snow and Yoon Seon.

“As Lord Commander of the Keep, I thank you. May the wind be with you. ”

“Duke. Is that a word?”

The fluffy horse smiled lightly at the duc.

“Of course, I pay for it. ”

“Khahaha! That's why I like the Duke! ”

Snow burst into laughter, and the meeting was concluded with a signal. Except for the duc remaining in the meeting with the fortress's generals, the rest of you leave the room.

The duc, who remains alone in the room, mutters deeply, burying himself in a chair.

“The wind rages and becomes a storm. It can't be like this.......”

A hunter like a guardian god guarding a fortress. Their words became a reality like the prophecy.

* * *

Pei smiles at the palace where the duc lives. It was different from the habitual laughter of unconscious building. It was a smile of contrition made by a hunter who caught a long-awaited prey with emotion.

Fei calls for Bell. Bell knew the joy of Fei and where the joy originated.

- You got him.

I laughed happily and said grisly. I laughed at Fei's mouth.

Lee Yun-sun said there was nothing on the corpse of the beast.

Are all the horses that raided the fort while Pei was leaving the mountain, leading the Boars, just mutants without the Seed of Darkness?

‘That doesn't make sense. ’

If the Mount of Magic was a place where such mutations would occur from time to time, this place would be called the Horseshoe and would become a place where no man could live.

Even the witches who raided the fort during Fei's absence must have had the Seed of Darkness. And the Seed of Darkness is easy to find if you look at the body. The first to discover the Seed of Darkness was not Feyna Bell.

- Was there anything special about the seed planted on the horses?

- Not at all worried about the partner. If the Monk or Wizard had examined it, he would have found it easily. Pulling it out would be possible with a few tricks.

I also got confirmation from Bell.

That means that someone, in the middle, stole the Seed of Darkness before the Wizards could investigate the body.

Who is he? He's on the inside, not the outside.

Then another question comes to mind. Who would do that?

It was a rhetorical question, an abstract question, and now a concrete question with a clue.

Who's on the inside?

Fei has decided to postpone the duc's orders. I don't know who did this. You don't have to go up the mountain to suffer.

Instead, Fei finds the Horse Tower. Where all the potions and scrolls used in the front-line fortress are distributed. The place to buy and slaughter most of the dead horses is the Horse Tower.

“Ah, you're a hunter. You want to buy potions again today? ”

Familiar Wizard greets Fey. Whenever Pei, named Daphne, made a deal, she was the one to deal with and asked for a simple greeting.

Fei shakes his head.

“There are a few things I want to know today. ”

“Are you... talking about what happened recently? ”

Daphne bites cautiously, and Fei nods slightly. With a stiff face, he nods severely as if he had become a secret party.

“Relax. I just want to ask you a few questions. I'd also like to ask for directions from the warehouse, if that's okay with you. ”

“Of course. You can replace the shop. ”

Daphne calls someone in, hands the counter over, and leaves the tower with Fei.

Because of the abundance of corpses spilled from the beast, the Horse Tower had a storehouse for storing and butchering the beast's corpse in a corner of the keep. It was there that Fey said he wanted to see.

“I heard you had a first-class horse raid yesterday. Is it still there?”

“I heard your internal analysis is complete and you're going to slaughter today. ”

“Excellent. ”

The corpse is intact, but only the seeds of darkness can be seen.
