Should I Become a Villain?

The moment when Flint deactivated his power.

Radmilo reappeared in the conference hall after disappearing due to Flint's power. The security team had been standing guard in the hallway to replace those who had died. They were surprised when they saw Radmilo suddenly appear there.

That was when they received a warning from their comrades on the archery team. They discovered the masked man was the one that made the archers tell all the security teams to stay alert. free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

"I have no business with you all," Radmilo said while taking out his favorite dagger. He used it because the weapon was suitable for his hand, which had not fully healed yet. "How about you guys let me go? That way, I won't bother you."

The security team refused to negotiate with Radmilo. They acted as if they did not hear the man's words and immediately shot him. The first attack failed because Radmilo jumped high to avoid it.

As the man landed on the floor, he kicked them and then did it again for another. Those who could not avoid his kick passed out or bounced and hit the wall.

They would eventually lose consciousness regardless of the effect they received. Radmilo kept attacking while swinging his dagger. He slit the bodyguards' throats before they could pull the trigger on the gun.

A small magical explosion appeared behind Radmilo at the same time. He did not turn around because he already knew the ones who came were Kai and Muramasa.

"Leave that to us, leader. You may leave now," Muramasa spoke as he placed The Cursed Tiger Claws in his hand. It consisted of four curved blades attached to the glove.

Radmilo stopped attacking the security team and took a step back, allowing Muramasa to attack. The man in the fox mask slashed anyone who got in his way with his Tiger Claws.

Each of his slashes contained a death curse, so those struck died instantly. Radmilo trusted Muramasa and Kai with the security team, knowing they could handle them well.

His goal now was simply to kill Emrick. <Attend the IRO emergency meeting> in his quest had been completed the moment he set foot in the conference room. Now he intended to complete the second point of <Kill one head of the council>.

Everyone in the conference room looked at Radmilo in unison. Meanwhile, the security team immediately fired magical bullets at him. He managed to dodge and inflict damage on them at the same time.

"Anyone who can't handle this mess should leave. I can't guarantee your safety this time," Lynette spoke loudly while examining the fight.

The people in the conference room stared at each other. They stayed in the room, thinking they were strong enough. However, they had to reconsider after hearing what Lynette said.

That woman had always been a good support whenever the IRO conflicted with dangerous criminals. She rarely mentioned her inability to save important people at the IRO.

As a result, many people chose to leave the room while Radmilo fought with the security team. That man appeared to be someone Lynette could not handle.

"I'll leave this building, too." Renate waved her hand at Lynette, who was standing beside her.

Unfortunately, Radmilo took a sharp turn and dashed toward Renate. He tried to break her teleportation necklace. When he wanted to slash her neck, Lynette immediately sent a kick to his hand.

Radmilo had to step back because he did not want his hand to receive any more damage. Lynette seemed to know his hand had been badly injured in the fight with Tyrone.

"Get your necklace and get out of here!" Lynette said to Renate, who was stunned by the attack.

She took out her flute and blew it while moving away from Radmilo. A moment later, bubbles appeared in the air and moved toward the man.

Radmilo did not break up the bubbles with his dagger. He knew the water spirits were in the bubbles because he had returned to the past. The water spirits moved closer to him when Lynette's flute began to play.

Whoever hit the bubbles would be drowsy and sleep for a long time. Even though it was not a lethal strike, Radmilo knew he would have finished if the bubbles could reach him.

The IRO would not allow him to sleep peacefully. Hence, Radmilo chose to run to avoid the bubbles. He deliberately approached the people still in the conference room, intending to hit them with the bubbles.

"Are we going to stay quiet?" Elias from the Joint Committee asked Daryl, his older brother.

"You can move if you want to get hit by the bubbles," Daryl replied, laughing for a moment. "Lynette rarely summoned water spirits because she had to control them with the flute. If they didn't like the melodies she created, they would go berserk and attack anyone."

Elias and Cyril both had annoyed expressions on their faces. They wanted to confront the masked man who had previously harmed Tyrone. Cyril was also intrigued by Radmilo because Maido had stated the man would kill his father.

"Can I use my power? I think it's useful to block the masked man from approaching us," Asher said while pointing at Radmilo, who was seen running toward them.

Daryl thought for a moment before giving the nod. "Don't bother Lynette. If you screw up, I'll cut off your hand."

The threat gave Asher chills. Daryl had always kept his word so far. Nonetheless, Asher pushed the negative thoughts away from his mind.

He crouched down so he could tap the floor with his right hand. A red chain-shaped symbol appeared on the floor toward Radmilo. The red chain symbol slowly faded away a split second later, and the ground shot up high from beneath the floor.

The sharp ground continued to spread following the red chain symbol that moved fast toward Radmilo. He realized that and evaded to the side since the magic bubbles were chasing him from behind.

But still, the red chain symbol reappeared and followed Radmilo. "I promise I'll get rid of that annoying brat later," he cursed as he glared at Asher.

"Did I do well?" Asher asked with a nervous sweat on his face. For some reason, he lost his enthusiasm when he realized the masked man was giving him a death glare.

"Stop your attacks," Daryl instructed, noticing Radmilo was trying to run at Lynette.

His attention was drawn elsewhere when he heard screams. The remaining security team just got killed by Muramasa. The fox-masked man walked into the conference room with his Tiger Claws that still dripping blood.

People recognized the man as Muramasa because he frequently wore a fox mask. Daryl narrowed his eyes as he felt the curse from the claws used by Muramasa.

"I think it's your time to shine, bro," Elias said to his brother with a grin.

Daryl did not respond but went straight to Muramasa, who was walking toward him. People paid close attention to both of them. Lynette even took a break from her water spirits to see what would happen.

Meanwhile, Radmilo used this opportunity to get closer to Cyril. He noticed Emrick had exited the conference room. The IRO must have told him to leave after hearing the prediction from Maido.

The only way to find Emrick was to use Cyril's teleportation item. When things became dangerous, Emrick would also have his son teleport to his location.

Radmilo was sure because he knew Emrick, and that could not change even though he had returned to the past. He purposefully increased his movement speed because he no longer wanted to deal with magical bubbles.

Nevertheless, Asher could see Radmilo's intentions and made a barrier out of the ground, which surrounded him immediately. The Earth Protector made him and his friends impervious to attack from any side.

"Create a barrier on top, too!" Elias exclaimed when he found out the top was still not closed. "Also think of a way to keep us breathing here."

"I need time to complete it. Don't worry. I bet he can't get in here," Asher answered, hoping his one-minute cooldown would end soon.

Unfortunately, Radmilo entered the Earth Protector first. He laughed at Asher as he looked around. "You have made a big mistake."

Asher's face turned pale because he understood the big mistake Radmilo meant. He and his friends were trapped in the narrow protective ground. It took him some time to dismantle his magical ground.

The Earth Protector made a perfect shield since it was difficult for magic or weapon attacks to pass into. Asher believed he could outrun the enemy by staying on the ground, so he only had to use the teleportation item.

He did not expect Radmilo to move so quickly. Asher looked up to see how high he had made the ground. However, the ground was about ten meters high.

How could Radmilo cross the protector in such a short time?
