Villain Hides His True Colors

Chapter 33

6-Circle magic . 

By using human blood and flesh, Wick was able to use the magic of an Evil God to summon a golem.

At his level, which was originally only 4-Circle, it was a transcendent magic that he couldnt have reached even if he worked hard all his life. Nevertheless, he was able to miraculously succeed in casting such a spell by offering everything in return.

AndNow that he had become one with the golem, he had nothing more to fear.

An overwhelming power that he had never felt in his life before. It was overflowing to the point where he even felt as if he couldnt control his whole body.

After clenching and unfolding his fists, he looked at the wolf who had ruined his plan.

For every actionthere is a consequence.

He walked slowly out of the pool of blood.

Boom!

Heavy vibrations reverberated in all directions with each step. He walked up to the wolf before stopping in front of it.

The size of the wolf was also huge, but standing in front of a giant about three stories high, it simply looked like a cute small dog.

He looked down at it.

And youll also pay for your actions.

He raised his thick arm. The intestines twisted like muscle fibers and expanded as if it was going to burst.

Gurgle!

He swung his fist with the intention of smashing the wolf into a pool of blood.

Boom!

However, it had escaped the attack by a narrow margin, and the place where his fist fell had become a deep pit as if a meteorite had fallen.

Running away like a rat!

Boom!

Boom!

He sent two consecutive punches. They were agile movements that didnt match his size. 

But both times, the wolf repeatedly avoided his fists.

Pero was like my hope! If only you hadnt appearedIf it werent for you!

He threw up an angry voice as he continued his attacks. Everywhere turned to ruin as if it had been bombed.

Then at some point, looking at the opportunity, the wolf began to climb onto his arm that had lowered to the ground.

Ridiculous.

He wasnt very worried.

The wolf wouldnt be able to give a significant blow to his body even if he bit his flesh.

Rather, he thought the moment he sunk his teeth in would be the best opportunity to catch the wolf who had been running away.

But

Slick

Kuaaak!!

A terrible pain that couldnt be explained in words came the moment the wolf bit into his body.

What was going on here? He couldnt believe he was feeling pain after having become a golem.

On top of that, the bit area had turned black and was falling apart.

He tried to remove the wolf in a hurry, but each time, he cleverly twisted his body and bit his flesh little by little.

More and more flesh fell off as his whole body became a mess.

If this continued, the golems core may be revealed without him even being able to stop it.

Its dangerous like this.

An alarm sounded in his head.

He ignored the wolf hanging from his shoulder and ran straight toward the pile of garbage piled high.

Digging around chaotically, he began to search for something.

In response to his unexpected behavior, residents hiding in the garbage piles screamed and ran away.

Hehe, here it is.

Upon discovering people scattering like a swarm of ants, he immediately began slaughtering the residents. 

I-its coming this way! Run away!

Aahh! N-no, dad!

Like being hit by a wrecking ball, every bone in their bodies were crushed and they died instantly on the spot.

The ground turned red with blood, and the corpses of the dirty residents piled among the garbage piles.

Soon, the dead residents rose as zombies and began throwing their bodies at the golem.

Wicks waist cracked open like a mouth and he quickly ate up the zombies.

Soon, the areas where his flesh had decayed horribly became filled with new flesh. His size was growing visibly faster than the speed at which the wolf could hurt him.

He smiled leisurely at the wolf.

KeukeuYour attacks are useless now.

Blood golems had the property of absorbing corpses and growing indefinitely.

In fact, in the world where Wick originated from, there were cases where blood golems that had been neglected for a long time had destroyed cities by itself.

As such, he continued slaughtering the residents.

The golems appearance became mixed with garbage and carcasses as it turned into an ever increasingly grotesque form.

On top of that, perhaps because he thought it wasnt enough, he decided to block the narrow road into the garbage town to prevent the residents from leaving.

Boom!

A garbage pile that was piled up like a hill collapsed, creating a high barrier.

He looked at the wolf with a wicked smile.

Heuheu, wait a little bit. Once Ive absorbed all of these people, itll be your turn next.

* * * * * * * * * *

After realizing that my attack was no longer useful, I watched him silently.

I began to understand to some extent what kind of power he had.

HuuThis was going to be hard.

At first, I thought it would be easy to finish it with the buff by taking advantage of the fact that he was a giant golem.

However, apparently for this stage, it seemed that simply shredding the bosss HP wasnt enough.

I roughly understood the gimmick now

To prevent his body from recovering, there could be no corpses around him.

However, a large number of residents were scattered here.

In other words, I had to protect the residents from dying in this fight.

Just thinking about it made me feel like a headache was coming.

Before I knew it, he grew big enough to be similar to a five-story building.

If I continue to leave it as it was, even with the skill, I would no longer be able to handle him.

First, I had to stop him from growing.

Shredding his HP was the next thing. 

As I was thinking, I saw the golem raising his fist toward another resident.

Damn it.

I ran straight to the resident.

The moment the golems fist was about to hit the ground, I grabbed the residents collar and stepped back.

Boom!

Dust and trash scattered everywhere. I found a safe place to put down the resident that was in my mouth.

Th-thank you! Thank you!

Ignoring the resident who had thanked me, I stared at the golem. Its mouth tore open as if it was laughing at me.

KeukeuI see. Do you finally have something to protect? Then, Ill make you feel the same pain as me.

As if he was teasing me, he wandered around and swung his fists at the residents.

Whenever that happened, I would block him or evacuate the residents and attack him.

However, there was no chance of winning as it was.

His skin, which was already thick, had gotten thicker, and my attacks had become insignificant.

On top of that, no matter how successful my trivial attacks were, the wounds would recover in an instant once he ate a resident

I needed a countermeasure.

It was no use repeating such meaningless actions.

Should I just give up killing him and hide for two days and clear the Challenge instead?

In fact, that wasnt a bad choice. I would be able to get a medium-grade box, and rather than taking a risk for no reason, it might give me something better too.

As soon as I thought as such, the children who were isolated in front of the entrance caught my eyes.

They werent able to escape when the golem blocked the entrance earlier?

Damn, this was going to change the story again

Now that it was like this, I had to catch this guy somehow here.

Even if I run away like this, the reward wont come into my hands if they die.

At that moment, I heard Pumpkins frightened voice.

F-father!

Glancing sideways and checking the situation, an idea popped into my head.

I seethat could work.

After organizing my thoughts, I ran toward the children at full speed.

* * * * * * * * * *

Pumpkin and Pie led the children as they hurriedly moved to carry out Noahs order.

Unfortunately, however, the golem had suddenly changed its course and collapsed the entrance.

As a result, Pumpkin and the children became trapped in this town without being able to move another step.

And like other residents trapped here, they watched the fight between Noah and the golem with bated breath.

The sacred wolf appeared and saved those in crisis each time the evil monster aimed at the residents.

Pumpkin shed tears as he watched it.

As expectedNoah-nim

Even in this dangerous situation, he was dedicated to saving others.

What a great character he was.

Pumpkin was convinced that all the saints in the Bible wouldnt be able to make such a sacrifice and commitment.

Ahas expected, hes God.

So Pumpkin watched it blankly for a while, forgetting even his own situation.

Suddenly, behind his back, a groan was heard.

UghWhere am I?

His father, who had fainted earlier after being hit by falling debris, could be seen opening his eyes and holding his head.

And

I seeI remember everything now. Youhow dare you treat your father who is as high as the heavens like that?

?!

He looked at Pumpkin with a murderous look. Then, he beckoned him to come closer with his finger.

Come here right now. If you dont want to be beaten up at home.

F-father

What are you doing?! I told you to come here!

When Pumpkin heard his fathers irritated voice, terrible memories imprinted on his body every night came back one by one.

He would be hit even when he didnt do anything wrong, so how many times would he be hit this time?

Regardless of his will, his hands began to tremble.

I-Ive changedNoah-nim chose me

Pumpkin desperately shook his head. But his shoulders, like before he met Noah, slowly began to shrink.

Run over here before I count to three. 12

Eventually, Pumpkin lowered his head and began running toward his father. When he thought about it again, he realized that it was all his fault.

***

[ Translator Yasi ]

[ Proofreader Karane ]

Right, his father was just strict in educating him and had always been a good person who cared for him

He quickly ran to his father.

Three. I told you to come before the count of three!

Th-thats because youre too farI was wrong. Father.

Are you talking back to your father again?!

Pak!

Keuk!

Pumpkins head turned harshly. Pie who saw it shouted in surprise.

Ahjussi! Why are you hitting Pumpkin?!

Oh, huh. Its funny how little brats are holding guns and pretending to be adults. Looking at you punks, I can see what your parents are like.

Im going to kill you.

Shoot! Shoot, you crazy punk! Ill make you a beehive too.

Pie held up her gun and glared at Pumpkins father. On the other side, Pumpkins father had taken Pumpkins gun and was aiming at the children.

But if there was a difference, it was that he was hiding behind Pumpkin, so the children couldnt shoot easily.

Slowly, the fingers caught in the triggers exerted strength. It was a very tense situation.

But at that moment,

Kuaaak! Wh-whats this?

Suddenly, a huge wolf jumped between them, snatching Pumpkins father as it was and disappeared.

Pumpkin stared blankly at Noahs back.

AhAh

In the midst of such a fierce battle, Noah had run straight to him when he was in danger.

To receive such love and care, he couldnt stop the tears from flowing.

What the hell am I doing

He couldnt believe he had bothered him over such a trivial matter. He felt his head becoming heavy.

It was all because of my weakness

If he had been a little stronger. If he had been a little stronger, he wouldnt have inconvenienced him

I need to be strong

Crack!

He bit his molars tightly. Soon, his eyes began to glow with madness.

* * * * * * * * * *

Kueaaak! L-let go of me! Let go!

Pumpkins father struggled fiercely. From the way he spoke, he seemed to have returned to his senses.

It was a relief I didnt have to watch that terrible infant regression sight, but I didnt like the way he originally spoke either.

Let go! Let go, you son of a bitchKeuk!

Crunch!

I bit down as I held him in my mouth. Salty blood dripped from the corners of my mouth.

After having found a safe place, I spat him out. 

Ptooey!

Looking at his breathing, it seemed like he was going to die soon.

I needed to hurry up.

The golem was excitedly slaughtering the residents while I was gone. Zombies revived nearby were diligently running towards him.

Returning to human form, I took enough bombs out of my inventory and added them to the bomb vest Pumpkins father was wearing.

I filled his pants with grenades while I was at it. Looking at him like this, he was more like a pinecone than a human.

Keuk, keu! Kuh

His breathing stopped. And as a result, Pumpkin had just become an orphan.

After waiting a short time, the corpse jumped up and mixed with other zombies. Like that, it began to run toward the golem.

Okay! Lets go!

The golem began to absorb the swarm of zombies. Pumpkins father had also safely penetrated the herd.

I ran to the golem the moment I saw it.

KeuheuhAre you ready to die now? But its already late.

Indeed, he had grown to a size close to a seven-story building. Obviously, with that thickness, I wouldnt be able to find his nucleus.

But I ran to him and shouted.

Fire in the hole!

Thatswhat kind of spell is that?

He looked back at me with doubts. Then, I pressed a detonator.

Boom!

The bombs that the Turbak Brotherhood had prepared for their independence exploded magnificently.

Much stronger than I had imagined. The golems body scattered in all directions like firecrackers, and rain of blood and flesh poured down from the sky.

A gaping hole appeared in his thick stomach. And deep down there, I could see a mask connected by blood vessels.

However, that would only last for a moment. His wounds were regenerating at a rapid pace.

Transforming into a dire wolf, I bit Red Velvet Curse in my mouth.

*One use has been deducted.

*Charges remaining [0/3].

In the red colored world, I jumped into his stomach. Immediately, the blood vessels connected to the mask were cut off.

Kkeuaak! N-no!

He screamed in pain and the skull connected to the mask began to crack rapidly.

Soon, the gigantic body made of corpses and blood suddenly began to melt.

Swish!

A large amount of blood poured out at once and spread like a tidal wave.

As a result, my nice hair was soaked in rotten intestines and blood. I returned to human form and sighed briefly.

HuuI hate getting dirty.

The wolf sportswear, which was white, had become colored in a dull red. I could also smell a rotten stench from my body.

I would probably hear something from Choi Bokhui about this when I returned home.

Anyway, was this the treasure?

I checked the information on the mask the necromancer had worn.

Classification: Accessories 

Grade: A 

Description: Be careful of the Baba Yaga. 

*Can store certain energy. 

*Gain strength equal to the price paid.

Hmm

Honestly, it was different from what I had imagined.

I had expected an item that would help me more effortlessly. This, however, could make me strong if I paid a price.

It was very vague.

Depending on the situation, it could be useful, but I didnt think it had much use right now.

WellI guess the other effect on it could make it a portable battery.

My chronic lack of mana would be solved to some extent if I ordered Elizabeth to fill it up with mana.

As soon as I thought as such, I began to hear cheers from all over the place.

Waaah! Im alive! Im alive!

Thank you! Thank you so much!

Residents hiding in the garbage crawled out one by one. So many were appearing that I started to wonder how there could be so many people.

The damage might have gone beyond Guangcheng District and into Pyongyang if the golem had absorbed all of them.

Noah-nim! I knew you could do it!

Heuk! Noah-oppa!

The children, who were comfortably watching my battle from afar, began to run toward me with their arms open.

I counted the guys from Hairys house first. Exactly 13 people. It was the same.

It was a relief no one died.

I had worked this hard, dont tell me the Challenge will fail?

The moment I was worried for a second, numerous messages began to come to mind in front of me.

Ding

[ Completed Challenge Guide the Lamb. ]

[ Gained 1x Random Box (Medium). ]

[ Level has risen.]

.

.

[ Youve reached level 34. ] 

[ Gained a Fragment of Growth. ]

[ Gained Level 30 Skill Selection. ]

[ Gained achievement title Guardian. ]

Tendency: Good Deed

Description: What youre feeling right now after protecting the weak, please dont forget it.

Keuhgood.

It was truly an enormous harvest after spending only a day.

I couldnt believe I had leveled up this much in such a short time

Admittedly, I had a pretty tough schedule due to the overlapping Challenge and hunt.

But because of that, the reward had doubled. Sure enough, games rewarded you based on how much effort you put in.

While I was at it, should I open my skill selection and box now?

I had a good feeling today. My intuition from my long career as a gamer told me so.

The jackpot was going to explode this time.

I opened my status window while ignoring those running toward me. Then, I used the Skill Selection.

[ Used Level 30 Skill Selection. ] 

[ One of the following skills can be learned. ]

HmmSince I had gained an achievement this time, something good should come out, right?

As soon as I was about to check the list,

Swish!

Huh?

Something unknown cut through my neck and a message appeared in front of me.

[ Absolute Defense activated. ]

I rolled sideways as soon as I saw the message.

Swish!

The edge of the wolf sportswear was neatly cut off. And a long sword mark was engraved where I had stood when I looked back.

I quickly pulled out my sword and heightened my senses.

Where did the attack come from?

People around me didnt seem to have noticed that I was attacked. They just had a confused look as if wondering why I had suddenly rolled across the ground.

The attack was terribly fast and covert.

WaitI had definitely seen this attack before

Suddenly, I recalled the mysterious man who had cut the necks of my prey at dawn yesterday. He had certainly used this kind of covert attack.

Could it be?

And

As if confirming my guess, a mans voice was heard from the entrance of the garbage town.

We meet again, boy.

Wearing a black coat was a giant man with silver-blue hair.

It was the kill stealer who had stolen my experience.
