I've Become the King of Villains in the Game

"What a pity, my masterpiece was almost complete."

Dolly sighed with regret.

"But killing you and continuing later is not too late."

"Dolly..."

Chen Lun looked at the brown-haired youth, thinking that his guess wasn't wrong.

The adopted son of Viscount Pompey, Vigrey, was indeed Dolly. How he turned into an ugly, fat man in the next two years was no longer important.

"How rare, a Transcendent of the Destiny Faction, yet only a Sequence Nine... Today, you're dead for sure!"

The masked man Crow spoke in a cold voice.

"Don't act yet, I want to play with him... I must return the favor from that night."

Dolly flexed his five fingers.

The very next second, his figure flashed, and he appeared in front of Chen Lun, his palm heading straight for him.

Dolly's strength and Agility were well-balanced, Chen Lun estimated both around 30 points; he could only compete with his strength, far behind in agility.

Using "Serpentine Incarnation" for a surprise might allow him to dodge temporarily, but after being figured out, his situation would plummet dramatically.

Bang!!

The dark golden scales clashed with the white exoskeleton-covered fist, creating an explosive sound.

A twitch appeared in the corner of Dolly's eye.

"It's that tough hide again!"

He opened his mouth wide, the corners splitting towards his ears.

Then Dolly's head zoomed in fast, completing a biting motion with incredible speed.

Crack!!

Dolly bit through Chen Lun's hair, his constantly wriggling teeth grinding together like gears, emitting a grating noise.

His eyes swiveled, catching sight of Chen Lun's neck bent at an odd angle, dodging the strike.

"Like a snake... wriggling like a disgusting earthworm."

Dolly's face, twisted into a ghastly expression, spoke in a strange voice, filled with disdain.

Gurgle...

No sooner had he spoken than Chen Lun's left arm became serpentine, coiling upwards, trapping Dolly's right arm, locking it in place!

The following second, Chen Lun's right fist struck deep into Dolly's left chest.

Bang!!

Dolly couldn't dodge and took the punch head-on.

The impact of "Rhinoceros Impact" penetrated the protective membrane over his sternum, piercing straight through his heart.

"Cough!"

Dolly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Taking a deep breath, his face twisted even more ferociously.

"A good punch, I like it a lot."

Chen Lun's eyes narrowed slightly; Transcendents of the Flesh Faction were indeed troublesome to deal with, with such tenacious life force... Not to mention he was a Sequence higher than him.

A soft click.

He drew his repeater flintlock gun, pressing it against Dolly's chest and pulling the trigger.

Bang! Bang bang bang!!

With a pained cry, Dolly took the first hit, then forcibly broke free from Chen Lun's hold. He dodged the following shots, deflecting stray bullets with his hand.

"You should be dead!"

Dolly growled and bit off his own thumb, chewing and swallowing it in his mouth.

Blood flowed profusely from his hand, but he was unfazed.

Instantly, his veins bulged, his eyes turned blood-red, and he lunged forward again, his fingerless hand becoming like a flesh-slicing knife, his other hand's large mouth extending a long tongue.

Every move he made was accompanied by waves of air pressure!

Strength and agility clearly surged!

Whoosh!!

Chen Lun used "Serpentine Incarnation" to twist his body but didn't fully evade the blade palm, and a gash appeared on his face.

As he tried to retreat, his leg was entangled by the long tongue emerging from Dolly's palm.

In the next moment, Dolly's kick came hurtling!

Bang!!

Chen Lun was sent flying, crashing into the wall and creating a dent, with cracks spreading like a spider web.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

```

The grotesque paintings hanging on the wall crashed to the floor in a cacophony of cracks and snaps.

Chen Lun slid down the wall, staggering to his feet. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, but fortunately, the protection from the Carp Armor spared him from losing a significant chunk of his Life.

"Such disgusting defensive power..."

Dolly clenched his fists, letting out a raspy, cold laugh.

"Crow, let's join forces. I don't want to waste any more time."

"It's about time... Tough and fleshy opponents are my favorite, heh."

The masked man said.

A sense of crisis surged in Chen Lun's heart.

Facing Dolly one-on-one, he had always kept an eye on the masked man nearby, holding back in order to prevent a surprise attack, and therefore only utilizing seventy to eighty percent of his strength.

Handling Dolly was already challenging enough, and now with the addition of another Transcendent, he feared he might fall into a significant disadvantage.

Two against one, no honor in combat!

Dolly attacked once again.

As he moved, his body swelled like inflating to the size of a small giant, almost reaching the ceiling.

His palm transformed into a serrated meat cleaver, swooping down in a vertical chop!

Whoooosh!!

In such a form, Dolly's Strength must have soared to over 40 points, nearing 50. This was the threshold for a Low Sequence Transcendent's Attributes, and Chen Lun was unwilling to confront it head-on.

He dodged to one side, avoiding Dolly's attack.

But in the next moment, a sharp dagger appeared in front of him!

Whoosh!

With space being encroached upon, Chen Lun had no choice but to raise his hand to protect his throat, his whole body now covered by the Carp Armor.

Hisssss!

The blade scraped across the scales, producing a startling shower of sparks.

Chen Lun took the opportunity to wrap his serpentine arm around the masked man's hand and, leveraging his position, burst out from his side to escape the encirclement.

But it seemed that his opponent had already anticipated his intentions. The masked man let out a cold laugh and struck back with his hand.

Extending a finger, it pierced Chen Lun's back like an iron drill, the tough dark-gold scales shattering under its force.

With a flick of that finger, a large chunk of flesh was ripped from Chen Lun's back.

Chen Lun grunted, rolling forward to increase the distance.

"Hidden Path: [Conspiracy Faction] [Sequence Eight – Locksmith]..."

He muttered under his breath.

This was an advanced Sequence of [Sequence Nine – Thief], possessing the supernatural ability to "unlock," and specializing in Agility and assassination.

"This is bad... I'm completely outpaced."

Chen Lun knelt on the ground, his back throbbing with searing pain as blood surged out, soaking through his shirt.

His back turned to the Pompeys, the grisly wound was a sight that quickened their heartbeats. On seeing it, the three of them couldn't help but feel their hearts race.

Viscount Pompey had not expected that it wasn't just his closest foster son Vigrey who was a Transcendent with mysterious powers but also Rebecca's home tutor, Mr. Jack.

However, Mr. Jack seemed to be at a disadvantage at the moment. Viscount Pompey wanted to speak, but felt helpless to intervene.

Viscount Pompey closed his eyes, simply hoping Mr. Jack wouldn't lose his life over this.

Mrs. Pompey and Rebecca's eyes showed their anxiousness, especially Rebecca; she desperately wished Mr. Jack would quickly knock that ingrate Vigrey to the ground.

Mr. Jack, please be safe!

You can do it Mr. Jack!!

Dolly and Crow, big and small, turned to look at the black-haired youth kneeling on the ground.

"There's no point in struggling, Jack,"

Dolly said in a deep voice.

As he spoke, Crow had already slashed through the air like a phantom, appearing in front of Chen Lun.

A knife stroke to the head!

With the "unlock" feature embedded in this stroke, Crow's deep blue eyes flashed with cruelty, as if he'd already seen the dagger act as a key, slicing through Chen Lun's shell-like defenses and cutting him in two!

Danger!

"Panel."

Chen Lun thought coolly.

With a flick of his finger, he allocated all 17 remaining points to Agility.

[Current Attributes: Agility 38!]
