After Saving the Villains, They Became Obsessed With Me - Chapter 96



96. Gray

Many heroes have already gathered in front of the forest.

Even if you look at it with your eyes, it’s a number well over 100.

I saw a few faces I knew.

One of those familiar faces approached me.

“I was looking for it.”

“Nice to meet you.”

Yoo Seo-hyun, Choi Yu-jin’s hero manager.

“You know what? It was really hard to collect heroes. Because everyone said they didn’t want to do it…”

“Good job.”

These many heroes are not gathered by the head of the association alone.

In fact, the president of the association is now finished. If this thing goes well, I’ll go up again.

So I borrowed the help of Yoo Seohyun. I asked for it with the debt I earned the other day.

She doesn’t lose when it comes to ‘her hero connections’. Probably about one-third of the heroes here are the heroes Seohyun Yoo gathered.

“Where is Eugene?”

“I’m sleeping in my car. He asked me to wake him up when he started.”

“Then I should wake up soon.”

“······Honestly, I wish I hadn’t done such a risky thing.”

The two are friends.

That’s pretty old too.

“If you don’t wake up, you will have to suffer all kinds of annoyances, are you going to endure that?”

“Ugh, that’s a bit. I need to go wake him up.”

“······What is your business with me?”

“Oh, yes.”

Yoo Seo-hyun, who smiled awkwardly, held out his fist.

“Cheer up.”

“It’s a little cheesy.”

When I fist-to-fist, a satisfied Yoo Seo-hyun went back.

“Who is that person?!”

Jang Ha-ra suddenly jumped out from behind and asked.

A voice full of caution.

“Choi Yujin’s friend. He’s not friendly with me.”

“Well, that’s all right.”

“How are you feeling? You will have to fly all day.”

“Yes! Are you okay. I’m a bit nervous… But three hours is fine.”

“Cheer up.”

“hehehe, of course.”

Jang Ha-ra’s role is support.

The role of rescuing other heroes when they fall into danger.

It was a role that only Jang Ha-ra, who excelled in both reconnaissance and maneuvering, could do.

“You spent a lot of nerves. I haven’t been able to sleep for days…”

Dohanna sneaked closer and said.

Certainly, I didn’t sleep for days when I was planning the strategy.

Even since the operation, we only had to assign roles, but to assign the roles of all the heroes, there was a lot of work to do, starting with data research.

“Today, no one should be sacrificed.”

“Huh.”

“How are you doing? My head hurts.”

“Oh, I’m fine now.”

Sounds like a lie.

“・・・・・・Don’t overdo it.”

“Of course. Do you remember well what Yoohyeon said?”

“Then I’m glad.”

What I said.

That said, if you are in danger, just run away.

Don’t have a useless mission, put safety first.

If you think about your honor as a hero, you might be saying this, but my life is more important than my honor.

“It starts in 10 minutes.”

Yoo Yeo-han muttered.

Time left until the start of the operation, only 10 minutes.

Looking around, there was a sense of tension.

Of course. Because it’s an operation that directly affects the occurrence of monsters.

“Anyway, it was Korea after all.”

Nari Seo, who came to me before I knew it, said.

“What?”

“The monster haunts. There are so many in our country.”

“Oh, I did.”

If the number of monsters in the world is set as 100, there are about 95 monsters in Korea.

Of course, it’s the monster king’s influence.

“I thought it looked like an elk.”

“The metaphor is strange.”

“Umm, doesn’t it fit perfectly?”

“······Is that so?

Come to think of it, elk are endangered animals in other countries.

Nari Seo smiled brightly.

Now that I know it, Nari Seo was wearing one of his necklaces.

“What is that?”

“Oh, this?”

A necklace with a small jewel.

“It’s a keepsake from my mother.”

Another thing I didn’t know.

“I heard that today is a very important day.”

“What if it breaks?”

“It’s okay. I have about four more of the same at home. This jewel is also fake.”

What the hell are Nari Seo’s parents doing, why do they have five fake necklaces?

“My mother died when I was very young.”

A face that seems to have fallen into memories for a moment.

“I can’t remember the face very well, but I remember what my mother said.”

He said vaguely while holding the necklace tightly.

“Even fake jewels, as long as they are similar, can be faked as real.”

“·······?”

What are you really doing?

“Then he said, I will lend you a necklace later, so wear it on an important day. Go ahead and pretend it’s real.”

“What is that?”

“Ahahahahaha! Yes?”

Nari Seo wiped her eyes.

It was fortunate that she seemed certain that the tears came from her laughter.

“But at a time like this, I have to bet. I will be careful not to break it.”

“Yes.”

I had more conversations with Seo Nari after this.

What should I do after finishing, what would be good for dinner tonight, how would I feel about being in the third year soon.

Such an everyday conversation.

“Oh, wait.”

Time has passed.

“The president of the association.”

I approached the president of the association who was hanging around.

“Are you going to fight the association president too?”

“Are you serious?”

“Well, it’s because you’re old. Are you looking for me? What’s your business?”

“······· Anyway. Nothing special. Please don’t die.”

“I’m sure you didn’t come just to encourage me.”

“I came only to encourage you.”

“Hmm, that’s surprising. I knew you were going to ask about this and that.”

“Come now?”

“That is also true.”

It’s been almost a year since I met this person.

Saving this person that day was a good choice.

“I will definitely save the association.”

“Take care of your emotional arms and get ready.”

The association president checked the watch on his wrist.

“Because it’s about to begin.”

“It already happened.”

“Are you nervous?”

“Does it look like that?”

“No.”

“Why are you asking?”

“I’m checking.”

Today we have had only peaceful conversations.

In preparation for the soon-to-be-broken peace, they seem to be enjoying themselves to the fullest now.

However, it won’t be long before the peace is broken.

“Is Gu Yun-hwa here?”

“Come. Oh, come to think of it, I heard you asked him for something.”

“I didn’t ask for anything difficult. Getting to the right place at the right time, that’s all.”

“Looks like you’re plotting something weird again.”

“You speak very nicely.”

1 Minute left.

“I’ll go.”

“Yes.”

The conversation with the president of the association is over.

I am back to my place.

The entrance to the forest.

More heroes than before.

“Remember? What I said.”

“I remember. I was tired of hearing it.”

Today too, the grumbling Joo Hyun-ah stood in front of me.

“Then I’m glad.”

The rest stood behind me.

Soon, the alarm went off.

It was an alarm that signaled the start.

“Let’s go.”

These many heroes have their own roles.

They were divided according to their abilities and strengths, but in a broad framework, it is a ‘one role’.

Dealing with monsters.

On the other hand, our role is a bit different.

Because it’s the role of hitting the king.

Joo Hyun-ah opened the gate.

A bit overworked, to a gate that only allows one-way traffic.

It was a choice to prevent a strong monster that might be near the king from popping out.

“I can’t open it for a while. Let’s go in quickly.”

There was no time or space to delay.

We entered the gate almost at the same time.

“Oh, you’re here.”

As always, the monster king was sitting on the throne.

From noble mtl dot com

The king got up and slowly came down the stairs.

“Guys.”

Each of them started taking action at my word.

Jang Ha-ra flew up into the sky, and Yoo Yeo-han began to focus on using her abilities.

Seo Nari and Dohanna were separated.

“It looks like they brought a lot of uninvited guests. Didn’t you keep your promise?”

“There was no rumor that he was coming alone.”

“Ha ha ha! He’s a mean guy too. I already recognized still······.”

The monster king spewed out a terrifying force.

It was the same as last time.

I still had cold sweat on my back and goose bumps on my neck.

“Fighting with me won’t change, will it?”

“Of course.”

But don’t back down.

Because I think I can win.

“Yeo Han-ah.”

After getting ready, Yeohan Yoo stretched out his hand.

In this world, the act of ‘reaching out’ means the use of abilities.

Knowing that well, the king was wary and put something like a protective shield on his body.

But to no avail. An ominous aura shuddered, and soon it was shot and permeated the king.

“······Hmm, I didn’t expect this.”

Yoo Yeo-han’s ability is not blocked by walls.

“Did you succeed?”

“Yes.”

After her ability was successfully applied, Joo Hyun Ah opened the gate again.

“Cheer up.”

Throwing that word out, he takes Yoo Yeo-han and disappears.

“You prepared with great care.”

“Thank you for recognizing me.”

“Do you think you will win this way?”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

The king looked at me blankly, then sighed.

“I don’t hate those eyes that seem to know everything. Most foolish people have eyes like that.”

The king pointed his finger at me.

“I absolutely believe in my own knowledge, and I don’t think about anything else.”

“What are you talking about?”

“It’s simple. Do you really think this forest that sealed me is the same as the outside?”

“What?”

“This forest has all sorts of devices to trap me. To prevent ‘me’ from ‘walking out’.”

The king who had been saying that suddenly disappeared in front of my eyes.

Then it appears from behind.

“If you can’t walk out, wouldn’t it be okay to fold the space and leave? I thought so. But in this place, all the abilities of the coordinate designation system are out of sync. Its location is random, and you can never go out of the forest. This is not just for me.”

The king walked back and said.

“The only way to get out of this forest is to walk out on your own.”

“·······.”

That said, Joo Hyun-ah is…

“Do you see their situation in your eyes?”

The king said with amusement.

“You killed it by your choice.”

Also.

This king is smarter than you think.

He seems to be good at provoking or shaking the mind.

“I won’t die.”

[ The skill, ‘Safe Place’ is active. ]

“I don’t trust only my knowledge.”

There are so many things I don’t know about in this world.

It’s a fact that I realized a long time ago.

“Look at that.”

I pointed to the sky.

A red flare was going up there.

After a while, it explodes with a loud sound.

“······You can’t rescue it right away just because it’s like that.”

“Don’t you remember the kid who went up earlier?”

This is Jang Hara’s ‘role’ for this.

It wasn’t a signal given by assuming this kind of situation.

Just in case it becomes dangerous.

It was given to Jang Ha-ra so that he could find it sooner.

Nari Seo and Hannah Do also have it.

“Let’s stop doing useless tricks. All you have to do is fight me.”

[ Sync to the fourth life. ]

[ Synchronization rate 100% ]

“That is my role.”

[ Summon the artifact ‘Dawn’. ]

“This is your role.”

[Use the skill, ‘Dongguieo’. ]

***

“There are too many people.”

Complained about oral language.

A villain surrounded by countless heroes.

It was quite painful to be in this trembling scene.

“Why are you asking for this?”

I heard the news about my brother.

······The number one hero in the rankings.

You said you were here.

I heard the situation roughly.

─Are you coming?

Even after hearing it, I couldn’t bear to refuse it.

Because Lee Yoo-hyeon said he would help reconciliation if he caught a lot of monsters.

This is the younger brother I met after 10 years.

He doesn’t even know what to say, it’s hard for him to think of anything going well on his own.

“I told you to go here.”

I scratched my head while looking at the map Lee Yu-hyeon gave me.

Any place marked with a red circle.

“I don’t know how to read a map.”

Then the alarm went off.

Everyone started, so I followed them. Then I turned around in the middle and walked aimlessly toward the marked place.

Was it luck or did you use the map properly? Fortunately, Gu Seol-hwa arrived properly.

There were no heroes here.

My heart felt much more comfortable because the uncomfortable situation was excluded in advance.

“Something doesn’t feel right…”

But there was something else.

A strange looking tree. Everywhere was such a tree.

‘It’s a relief that there are no monsters.’

Gu Seol-hwa leaned against a suitable tree and began to bruise.

She doesn’t know why she was assigned here.

I just waited thinking that there must be a reason.

And.

“······Ha, how come there is no monster?”

I soon realized why.

All the trees in the area started to move.

My impression was made at the bizarre sight.

“Are all other places like this?”

The absurd gossip suddenly scattered cold air.

Things that don’t even move. If it freezes and stops, that’s it.

“…”

But things didn’t go as planned.

The trees are not frozen.

It didn’t even slow down.

Fu-wook.

A wriggling tree branch stabbed Gu Seol-hwa in the stomach.

I couldn’t avoid it because it was an attack while I was panicking.

The clothes I chose with difficulty to meet my brother were stained with blood.

“·······.”

The reason why Lee Yoo-hyeon placed oral narratives was simple.

Basically, there are trees spread all over the forest, but there are especially many of them in this place.

He sent the strong verbalizations alone and let them deal with it on their own.

However, the verbalization ability did not work on the tree.

The main tree in this forest is pine. Originally, it is said that it is a tree that is resistant to cold.

That tree has turned into a monster, so I’m done talking.

“Keuheop·······.”

The narration spilled blood.

I hurriedly cut off the branches with the ice dagger, but the trees didn’t stop attacking me.

I tried barely holding on with my shield, but I lost my strength.

It’s narrow, so I can’t even use high-speed movement.

Perhaps, at this rate…

‘Lee Yoo-hyun bastard.’

I will die.

Cold is particularly fatal to life. Thanks to this, Gu Seol-hwa has easily defeated almost all enemies.

That’s why it was powerless against opponents who couldn’t penetrate cold air.

That’s right, I’ve never dealt with him before.

‘He said he would let me meet my younger brother.’

Why is it always like this?

I knew that I had a bad head, but it was a bit unfair that things weren’t going well.

I worked hard too.

‘Why always…’

I just wanted to find my brother.

But she had become a villain before she knew it.

If I had to make an excuse, it would be because I was tricked.

When she realized that, she was standing alone and unable to do anything.

Lee Yoo-hyeon That son of a bitch must have tricked me too.

“Ah…”

I hate everything.

I hate Lee Yu-hyeon, I hate Do Hanna, and Lee Hye-seong… Oh, he’s dead.

I don’t know.

I don’t know.

Fu-wook.

“Queue.”

There are more incoming attacks than before.

Looking at it now, there are about two huge trees.

“・・・・・Do I need my sister?”

Suddenly, Gossip muttered.

Own necessity. A terrible hypothesis that I used to do once every day. Nevertheless, this hypothesis that I gritted and turned away.

When the last moment came, we were finally able to face each other.

Belated worries began with the enemy in front.

Do you really need her brother?

Actually, I already knew the answer to my worries.

As I said… I just ignored it.

“I don’t think so.”

Gu Seol-hwa smiled lightly.

Like a common villain who repents right before he dies.

Hwareuk.

By the way, is the current oral story really a villain?

“Bastard, I thought why are you sending me here?”

A white flame fell in front of my eyes.

“You make things difficult for people by hitting them.”

Turns out, it was a person wearing flames.

“·······You.”

There is no happy ending for villains.

However, if the boundary is ambiguous.

From noble mtl dot com

“It’s been a while, sister.”

No one knows what kind of ending it will be.
