Should I Become a Villain?

Chapter 23 The Female Crow Monster

Dianella used her invisibility power to attack Radmilo while they were in the Guild Union. At that time, Radmilo could sense her movements by the sound and gusts of wind around him.

This year, the girl had developed little, so Radmilo could easily guess the direction of her attack. He would also do the same to the smugglers. They wore magic cloaks and never seriously practiced using them.

That made it easier for Radmilo to find them. While killing the crow monsters that were blocking his path, he looked around the park. Moments later, he heard footsteps and rushed toward them.

"So good to see you guys!" Radmilo exclaimed, sticking the sword into the ground and stopping the smugglers from running.

"Oh, crap! Hurry and do something!"

Someone moved and appeared behind Radmilo to attack him. Radmilo could easily knock the person down. Then he grabbed his neck and choked him so hard that he could not breathe.

"Oh shit! He's crazy!" someone said when he heard something fall to the ground. It was obvious that something was their friend. "We need to get out of here!"

The smugglers were running away from Radmilo, but it was obvious they were not getting anywhere. Radmilo wanted to make them pay for bothering him. He kept chasing them without using his main power or skill; he was confident he could catch up to them without using it.

Radmilo ran even faster. After chasing them for a while, they finally stopped running. They were confused about how the man had so much stamina. He did not even gasp for air after chasing after them. It seemed their guess that the man was at A-rank was correct.

"Actually, we don't have a big problem. How about we make a deal? We'll give you half the items we got, and you have to let us go instead."

One smuggler tried to talk, but Radmilo cut him off right away. He wanted to destroy them here and now. "Who are you dare to make a deal with me? You're nothing!"

Now only two people remained in the smugglers' group. They quickly realized the situation, and it would not change even if they attacked Radmilo. As a result, they showed themselves and bowed to him.

"Please leave us alone!"

"We'll leave this place and tell no one about this!"

"You think I care? I'll still kill you guys," Radmilo said as he raised his sword.

"N-No...!"

Radmilo refused to let down his guard, so he slashed the smugglers until they were all dead. He went to kill the boss after killing those people. In his previous life, he had defeated the boss of the crow dungeon.

In some stories, the Wakwak had humanoid features besides its bird body. The most common description was a feminine, human-like face. And the boss in this dungeon was Wakwak with a female body.

She was dozing off in a tree. She appeared to be tough, but Radmilo was confident he could beat her. He could not possibly lose to this monster.

When Radmilo got close enough to her, he noticed something. She was not moving at all, which made people wonder if she was still alive. But Radmilo sensed a trap. She had indeed acted in this manner to reduce her opponent's vigilance.

While she was distracted by his appearance, Radmilo attacked her from behind. Most monsters should be killed by that sword strike. Unfortunately, the monster opened her eyes wide, as if nothing had happened.

"You bastard! How dare you attack a woman!"

The monster roared with rage. Radmilo had to cover his ears because her voice was so loud. Even though he could hear nothing, he still could feel the vibrations of her voice.

"But you are not a woman. You are a monster," Radmilo told with a mocking voice.

Radmilo was right next to the monster as she swung her wings in a wide arc. He easily avoided it, but then he realized what she was up to.

She was shielding herself from Radmilo's attacks by using her wings as a shield. Her wings were as sharp as knives and impossible to crush. Radmilo had no choice but to rely on his sword.

"Are you afraid now?" With a haughty smile, the monster inquired.

Radmilo gritted his teeth. It really made him want to kill her even more. "Why should I be afraid of a monster like you?" he asked, swinging his sword down toward the monster's head.

To avoid the attack, she grabbed a nearby tree branch with one hand. While Radmilo expected it to be simple, she managed to avoid his blade with incredible speed.

She landed on another tree branch after avoiding Radmilo's attack. She appeared to be a bird, but instead of flapping her wings, she ran up the tree with great agility.

"Are you having trouble attacking me in this position? You should consider yourself fortunate that I'm allowing you to live this long."

Radmilo was mocked by the monster, but he ignored her taunts and jumped onto the tree to track her movements. He slashed his sword at her as they got closer.

As she evaded Radmilo's attack, her body moved like liquid. Radmilo did not know where she'd gone after her last deflection, but he could see her shadow darting across the branches.

"Just give up!" The monster yelled. "I'll make you regret it if you don't give up!"

That sounded serious. Radmilo, on the other hand, remained unconcerned. He took a deep breath before charging again at the monster.

"An attack like that won't affect me!" She screamed as well as swung her wings in an arc.

Radmilo grabbed her neck with his left hand when he noticed a gap. He could not catch her, though, because she jumped back into the tree to avoid his attack. He eventually caught up to her and grabbed her leg, knocking her to the ground.

When she hit the ground, she let out a rage-filled scream of pain. Radmilo swung his sword down at the monster quickly.
