It Is Fate To Be Loved by the Villains chapter 163

163. Junction

“Destination, this is it?”

When Elijah saw the huge tombstone in front of her eyes, she said that.

It is proof that you have reached the deepest part of the dungeon where the first trial takes place.

The ‘Mysterious Heart’ that is embedded in the deepest part of every dungeon.

Usually, by contacting it, you summon the ruler of the dungeon and fight.

In other words, it is a device for summoning a boss.

“Aha, I heard that it is an artificial dungeon, so it seems that these things have been implemented?”

Having said that, Lana approached her tombstone and walked in a circle around her, examining it here and there.

Thanks to having gone through all sorts of rough things on the way here, the Seonghwangguk school uniform he is wearing has almost become a mat.

As she stared at me without thinking, Elijah, who was next to her, slapped her on the side with her narrowed eyes.

In an instant, her body staggers from the powerful blow that stops her breath.

“…Why.”

“No. It’s like she’s looking at her child, who is so tattered because of her, with sinister eyes.”

“…”

Don’t swear.

“…Never.”

“Hmm.”

Elijah took a deep breath at my words and turned to Lana with her eyes narrowed.

He didn’t seem to care even for the hair, even though he had been through such a rough situation just before. Angry or something

“Does he not even care if he gets hurt, that kid?”

“…That’s right.”

As I rubbed her battered side, I barely agreed.

“Teacher.”

Elijah opened her mouth in a weak voice.

Unusually, it was an atmosphere where I felt a lot of guilt.

“…We, be sure to apologize to him later.”

“Huh?”

“No matter how much it hurts, and the person himself agreed without saying anything… But it seems like he is using pure goodwill.”

“…”

So that’s what I did too.

Because it’s clear that he wouldn’t care at all even if he did that.

Thanks to that, I was able to break through the dungeon at a speed that other guys couldn’t even compare to.

[Hey.]

Suddenly.

From within the Soul Linker, Caliban spoke with a sigh.

[Are you a bit strange?]

‘Yes?’

[I’m joking around trash and all, but I feel like you’re getting worse.]

‘No, if you’re going to take care of the aftermath, that guy is the safest-‘

[It’s not that kind of problem.]

He hesitated for a moment at Caliban’s words.

Because it was completely different from the atmosphere I usually get when this person makes fun of me.

[You normally wouldn’t even try this method unless it was absolutely unavoidable. No matter how much he didn’t hate it, it was Dowd Campbell who sold his body because he didn’t want to see other people get hurt.]

‘…’

[It’s easy to get confused because you’re always swept up in urgent situations and do rough things, but there’s never been a case where you voluntarily sacrificed others.]

I heard and saw it.

It’s not that wrong.

If it were me, I wouldn’t have used such an extreme method for my purpose, even if I didn’t feel any pain and felt fine myself.

As this person said, it means that the psychological resistance to ‘hurting others’ has been greatly reduced.

[I think I know the reason, but that. I think you already know.]

These words continued with a sigh.

[Because you changed the race itself with your own hands. Is that a side effect?]

‘…’

[Isn’t it that not only the body but also the mind is affected?]

Definitely.

This is the first symptom that humans who begin to eat away at the ‘devil’.

An extremely low level of resistance to inflicting violence on others.

How do you know?

‘I saw it.’

This is because the vessels that have been encroached upon by malignant nature in the game are the first symptoms to show.

The reluctance to commit inhumane things under the pretext of ‘necessity’ to the people around you gradually fades away.

A typical example was Elnor.

And that.

‘…Am I changing similarly?’

It is clear that I, who have begun to be affected by the Fallen Seal in earnest, am also not free.

In that case.

“…Yes.”

At Elijah’s words, he seriously nodded in agreement.

“Let’s apologize.”

“…hehehe. As expected, I thought you would listen to me when I spoke.”

To Elijah, who answered with a smile.

Continuing, she adds an additional comment.

“And one more thing.”

“Yes?”

“From now on, I will never do anything like this except to the right people.”

It is indispensable to develop the ability of Ticheon’s Seal because of the existence of the Precursors.

Influenced by that, I might be able to choose a way I wouldn’t do ‘normally’ like this time.

But it shouldn’t be like that.

Change comes like getting your clothes wet in drizzling rain. If it wasn’t for Caliban and Elijah pointing it out at the same time, I would have taken it for granted that ‘using’ Lana like that was the most efficient way.

In that sense.

“If I feel like I’m going to do something weird again.”

Sure.

They scratch their cheeks and talk to Elijah.

“You balance me.”

“…Yes?”

“Because you are the most trustworthy in this part.”

“…”

At least.

The most ‘humane’ guy I know.

Maybe you can help me not to go astray.

“…Teacher.”

Elijah answered in a low voice.

As if I was deeply moved by what I said, my eyes are shaking.

“Why is there no option to stop doing crap?”

“…”

“Are you really giving up on yourself to be rehabilitated? Is your way of thinking completely different from that of normal people?”

Is it because siblings look alike?

Both skills that crave me are becoming more and more fierce.

“…No, just.”

It’s like a premonition.

I guess it was my intuition that I would have no choice but to do something like that in the future.

[Inevitably?]

‘…’

[Are you still working on my sister as if breathing?]

Noisy.

What kind of work is this?

“…Ha. I knew he was this kind of person and my nose was pinched, so I can’t help it…”

“What?”

“It’s nothing, you fool.”

After saying that, Elijah said beans and punched me in the head.

Why are you beating me?

“…Still.”

Then, he smiled and said.

“Thank you for trusting me, sir.”

Undoubtedly.

“I will definitely protect you. No matter what.”

It was a sentence that exudes a feeling of emotion that cannot be hidden.

Looks like he’s really, really happy.

[Not that.]

‘…What else?’

[Coming to think of it, I think you’re just a piece of waste.]

‘…’

[Get out of here, please.]

They say trash is meant as a joke.

Why is your voice so sincere?

!! Butterfly Effect!!

[ The favorability check of the target ‘Elijah’ succeeds! ]

[ Check the current status of the ‘Devil’s Bowls’! ]

[ All conditions met! A butterfly effect occurs! ]

[ As a result of all your actions, the ‘first fork’ will soon occur! ]

[ If you successfully solve the event, part of the ‘ending’ will change! ]

“…”

She blinks her eyes in a daze at the window that pops up out of nowhere.

Suddenly, what else?

Did Caliban’s words contain evil?

What is the turning point, and what is the special event?

Above all.

‘…The ending?’

I skim through the sentences, frowning at the word that suddenly came to my mind.

I want something like this because it jumps out so disorganized.

It was a sentence that gave off the feeling that something big will happen soon.

“What?”

And before I even thought deeply about it.

Lana’s voice of embarrassment dropped.

Continued.

The tombstone he was looking at began to vibrate like crazy.

At a glance, it was clear that he had touched something wrong, seeing the menacing black mana rising all around him.

“…What did you do?”

“There was a button that protruded with the feeling of ‘press it’, so I pressed it hard?”

“…”

Ah, that.

This is the boss summon button.

“…Why did you press that?”

“…I shouldn’t have pressed it?”

“…”

“And it was so stiff that it didn’t work well, so I pressed it three or four times.”

“…”

“…Wasn’t it supposed to be pressed several times?”

As far as I know, press it several times.

[ Check the challenger’s provocative will. ]

[ Summons the highest difficulty ‘Dungeon Guardian’. Good luck! ]

…In this way, the difficulty level rises dramatically.

“…”

“…Teacher.”

Elijah quietly ran a hand through her hair.

It seemed that anger was welling up in her head.

“…I think I can apologize later.”

“…”

Sure.

●

“Interesting.”

El Nore narrowed her eyes and looked at the ‘thing’ that was being summoned in front of her eyes.

As soon as she received permission to enter the dungeon from Lucien, she had reached the deepest part in advance and was waiting, so she had an intuition.

In his own words, with Dawood’s ability, he will arrive in first place, so just wait here.

-…Uh, isn’t it possible Mr. Daud won’t be able to win first place?

-I can’t believe that.

Elnor replied with a firm nod.

-If it doesn’t work, I’ll make it that way.

-…How do you make it?

-That’s a secret. It’s just that if that man wants anything, he’s willing to risk his life to help me.

-…That much for cheating?!

In terms of putting their lives on the line for trash, it’s a match made in nature.

A human being who would risk his life to commit cheating for the sake of a man he fell in love with, even at a super-large event taking place on a continental basis.

Anyway.

“You really put a ‘spirit body’ in an artificial dungeon?”

Muttering that in an absurd tone, Elnor looked at the object as it shimmered in black and took shape.

“…Is the elemental body really that dangerous?”

“Yes. It’s because it’s more like ‘impossible to defeat’ rather than threatening.”

In general, beings from other dimensions than the physical world are basically evaluated for their combat power one level higher than normal monsters, but among them, spirit-like thought bodies are being treated as half-disasters just for their existence.

Because Ark is different, at least in terms of being ‘hard to catch’.

First of all, it is an existence that is not subject to most of the laws of the material world due to the nature of being in a completely different world, .

There is only one way to defeat them.

In the material world, ‘withstanding’ all attacks from the spirit body, entering into the ‘spirit world’ held by the spirit through a high level of operation, whether magical or divine power, and defeating it in the battle that takes place there.

In a way, it could be said that he was the most suitable opponent for the purpose of selecting a hero. It can be judged comprehensively at once, including combat skills, the use of supernatural powers, and the strength of mental power.

“…I don’t know if I can deal with it properly.”

El Nore muttered as he narrowed his eyes.

No matter how excellent Dawood’s skills are, the risk is very high in that the elemental body is directly connected to the ‘spirit’.

If something seems to happen, you’ll have to jump out and help yourself.

“…Um, isn’t Elijah, the candidate for the hero, the one who has to deal with that in the first place?”

“That’s true, but do you think that side is stronger than Dawood?”

“…”

I can’t argue with that.

YuRia smiled awkwardly when she remembered that, and as if El Nore knew that, she nodded her head and continued her words.

“Let’s get a little closer. If something happens, you have to react immediately.”

“Yes, yes…”

Saying that, El Noor raised her body, and Yuria stood up from the floor where she was lying on her stomach.

Thanks to that, my vision is clear. Daud’s nervous expression at the spirit body is also clearly visible.

“…”

Yes, definitely.

It catches the eye.

“…Ms. YuRia?”

When she suddenly saw YuRia, who couldn’t even budge from her, El Nore let out a puzzled voice.

Yuria’s gaze was still in one place without moving.

Daud’s ‘bare face’ without a mask.

“…Ah.”

A moan mixed with amazement and joy came out of Yuria’s mouth unconsciously.

Continued.

“[Found]”

She spat out an excited sentence.

With ‘White Breath’.
