I Became The Villain The Hero Is Obsessed With chapter 252

252 – Ancient Ruins

“Are you here?”

[Yeah. you’re right.]

The day after I got the call from Egostick, the next day.

She fell asleep with feelings of tension or something else, and woke up in the morning receiving his call.

So, after putting on the hero suit, she came to this ruin-like place as he called.

“…So, there’s a villain in this basement?”

[Yeah. That’s a very scary guy.]

Stardus listened to his words in his ears and involuntarily touched his ears.

A situation in which Egostick is talking to each other through this device that resembles a wireless earphone that was given along with a communicator.

What he wanted, ego-stick, was to take care of the villain hiding in the basement.

[To be precise, it’s a murder weapon rather than a villain… but you’ll know it when you see it yourself.]

He was the one who explained it that way.

He said he needed Stardus’ help because he was too powerful to handle.

…Isn’t it too much for those Egostream colleagues? Stars thought so.

“Okay. So where is the exact location?”

[You are almost there. More than anywhere… Yes, that’s about it.]

Not even Seoul, but ruins somewhere in Gyeonggi-do.

Obviously, the location was said to be a forest, but it was a desert-like place now, perhaps thanks to the villains rampaging and burning everything in the past. It’s full of sand all over the place, to the point where it really looks like a sister-in-law.

[At this point… there must be a magic circle nearby. Can you see it?]

“A magic circle?”

[Yeah. I marked it in advance.]

“Wait a minute…”

After muttering that, she soon found a purple magic circle drawn in front of a huge yellow rock on one side of the ruins.

“I found it.”

[Yes, well done. Now, kick that rock as hard as you can with your fist.]

“A rock? …Okay. Wait.”

After taking a deep breath, she hit the rock with her fist as he said.

OK.

aaagh.

“…?!”

She only hit a rock, but as if she had exploded the ground, a huge roar and shock wave made her panic.

“what..?”

With the feeling of something, invisible glass breaking.

Behind the shattered and pulverized rock, a tunnel-like passage of something was revealed.

“Is this it?”

[Yes, that’s right. He will be in here.]

“…okay.”

So she took a breath before entering it.

At first, even when I was contacted by Egostick, I had mixed emotions, but she was a professional.

When she heard that there was a villain threatening people here, she remained calm ever since.

Because when dealing with enemies, she was always calm.

Just as she was calming herself down before going inside, the voice of the ego stick suddenly came into her ears.

[…Aren’t you worried?]

“what?”

[…I’m the villain, you’re the hero. Could this be a trap I’ve prepared to deal with you? Don’t you know where you are or what you’re doing?]

Just before she goes underground, he speaks so fearfully.

…But rather, those words read more of advice and concern.

Stardus smiled and said to Egostick.

“…If you had tried to deal with me, you’d have had a lot of opportunities, but you would have done it sooner. Are you saying that now?”

[still…]

“I trust you.”

She said it just right.

yes. She’s ego-stick, can’t believe him. How many times has he saved himself so far? The moment she was in danger, the one who always came running to her, grinning, saying she was fine, and saving her?

She didn’t worry about that at all.

When he said that he believed, his voice stopped for a moment.

Just before she entered, he opened his mouth again in a worried tone.

[…That said, don’t you believe the words of the other villains like this? Villains are mostly evil. Almost everything they say is a deception or a trap. You know you can’t go in just because they told you to come somewhere, right?]

Apparently, he seems to know that she trusts the words of the other villains and follows them.

…could that be?

She is also a hero who has gone through all sorts of battles, and when it comes to villains, she is a pro who is suspicious and wary.

but.

So, she smiled.

Ergot, stop listening. As if whispering, he spoke into his ear.

“Not so with the others.”

“Because it’s you, ego-stick. Trust me and go in.”

Okay?

[……]

He shut his mouth as if he was speechless at her words.

And when I heard his silence, I smiled.

Stardus moved into the underground without hesitation.

***

“Wow…”

not underground.

How long did you walk through the dark tunnels?

Suddenly, white marble began to appear around her, and she entered an open room large enough to accommodate dozens of people.

To be precise, there, which looks like a temple.

“…Where is here?”

This place looks like an ancient ruin.

In the subterranean temple, buried in the ground and faded as if time had passed, where yellow lanterns glowed softly, and unknown symbols and figures illuminated what was drawn on the walls.

She said that in a bewildered voice.

[This is a temple. It can be accurately called the Temple of the Sun.]

“Temple? Hold on…”

She muttered and looked around.

Certainly, it was like a temple. If you look at the objects that could be used for ancestral rites and the geometric pictures drawn on them.

However, this place, which seems to have been neglected for a long time buried in yellow sand, was too big.

On the outside, it looks like it has been eroded for over 1000 years. To be precise, it was closer to Egyptian or European style than Korean.

“…How could ruins of this scale have not been discovered yet?”

she muttered like that

And Egostick answered as if he was listening to it through the communicator.

[As you saw earlier, it was blocked by the barrier.]

He answers as if it were natural.

…Why the hell is an ancient temple with a barrier buried under the ground? All of a sudden, to Korea. How did he know this.

Of course, it didn’t seem like he would answer that question, but she decided to move on.

“So where the hell is this place?”

As she walked among the ocher-colored temples, she grumbled. Can you tell me where you are doing?

Then, Egostick responded surprisingly meekly.

[This is the temple of the ancient sun god. To be precise, it is his own temple that the sun god arranged in advance. It must have been created a long time ago, when supernatural powers first began to manifest in this world.]

He speaks as if he were telling an old story.

But Stardus didn’t quite understand what he was talking about. sun god? ability? What myth are you talking about?

[Well, it’s a story that doesn’t matter to you, the starlight. For now, you just need to know that the guy under this temple of the sun god is a bad guy.]

knight of god.

-, explained Egostick.

A weapon of solar light that has been built since ancient times and moves only for destruction. If it wakes up someday, it will set the Republic of Korea on fire, a disaster that will be difficult to eradicate if it is not now.

“…Anyway, you’re saying you can defeat him?”

She asked, clutching her confused head.

…Since it’s the sun god, there were many things I wanted to ask about why there are unexpected ruins in Korea and why there is a murder weapon underneath. On top of that, he really wanted to ask how he knew all of these things.

For now, she decided to think after defeating the threat facing her.

I don’t know what it is, but since egostick warned me this far, there must be something.

So she calmly walked down these strange ruins.

Meanwhile, Egostick was continuing his explanation in preparation for the upcoming battle.

[Mr. Stardus, tap the in-ear communicator in your ear once.]

“this?”

In response to his instructions, she tapped the round earphones in her ears once with her hand.

OK.

“…?”

Suddenly, in front of her eyes, something like hologram glasses popped out from the center of the communicator and floated in front of her eyes.

A hologram glass that can only be seen in sci-fi movies.

After passing through the hologram, something began to appear in her field of vision, floating around.

[Okay… Now, this is my next-generation hero aid. The field of view is widened to some extent, and if it flies from the right side as soon as it is attacked, a red light flashes on the right side like a game, and the enemy target is designed to open automatically.]

As a bonus, your view is shared with me as well.

– he said so, as he added.

“…It’s interesting. But is this really necessary?”

When she said that while watching it with interest as she clenched and opened her fists in front of her eyes, Egostick said as if it were natural to see him nod.

[Yeah. Mr Starders. The enemies you will meet now will not be easy opponents. If you don’t know the exact strategy and its attack pattern, you can never defeat it.]

[So, you have to follow me this time. I will instruct and let you know. Where to hit and how to avoid.]

He said so in a serious voice.

Hearing that voice, she realized. That this is very important to him.

…and, in case, worries about yourself are also mixed in.

That’s why Stardus had no choice but to nod and answer as if not to worry.

“Okay. I’ll do as you say. So what should I do?”

[Yeah. Soon…]

While discussing the strategy, she walked down the stairs at the far end of the ruins.

At the end, I was able to see through a huge ocher-colored door engraved with strange letters and spells.

“…that’s it.”

A huge, cathedral-like place that could fit hundreds of people.

The stained glass on the wall emits a strange light that cannot exist underground, subtly illuminating the place.

[…As expected, God’s Knight.]

Among them, in a place like a large coffin.

‘…..’

Something that looked like a huge paladin clad in heavy silver armor.

He lay quietly in it with his hands crossed.

“…what now?”

Seeing that, she put her ear to Egostick and asked in a small whisper.

He answered calmly, as if it were natural.

[Once you hit it, it will wake up. Hit it with all your might.]

-Wouldn’t it be a victory first?

“…..”

Can this be?

She pondered for a while as she watched the paladin lying quietly, but soon made up her mind and clenched her fists.

…Yes, what. If you hit it, it will respond to anything.

So Stardus raised his fist.
