Should I Become a Villain?

Chapter 48 Thanks For The Fight

The main weakness of the undead was a fire. That was why Radmilo carried the flame sword with him. Ordinary weapons did very little damage. Therefore, the hunters who entered the undead dungeon were required to buy weapons that could support their fight.

Even the undead were immune to poison. They were usually not smart enough. However, the undead in the Forest of Death Dungeon differed from the other undead. They were intelligent and had fast movements.

Radmilo was certain Karm the Undead was smarter than the undead he had previously defeated. If he wanted to use his power, he had to be cautious.

"Where are your friends? Are they dead?" Karm thought Radmilo was a hunter from the raid team who came late into the dungeon.

However, Radmilo immediately fixed his misunderstanding. "I have no friends. I came here alone to beat you."

Karm laughed when he saw Radmilo pointing the sword at him. In his eyes, the longsword seemed small. He also assumed Radmilo would lose if he stepped on the man.

The mummy stopped laughing when Radmilo swung his sword. He purposely did not dodge to see what kind of damage the sword had, which made his undead army take a long time to regenerate.

The slash of the longsword was followed by flames that melted Karm's armor. It was a magical armor that could withstand a great deal of damage. The hunters who fought him needed at least twenty sword slashes before they could destroy his armor.

Now Karm understood how his undead army was defeated by Radmilo. He had to keep his eyes on the man's magic sword. If he was late to dodge, then it would damage his entire armor and body.

"I don't think this is a good time to think about my sword." Radmilo swung his sword again.

Karm, on the other hand, evaded the attack this time. He ducked to the side and slashed Radmilo with his ax. His attack failed as the man jumped at him while trying to strike one more time.

Karm quickly blocked Radmilo's blade with the hilt of his ax. He pushed his ax, causing Radmilo to fly away. Despite this, the man kept his balance and landed perfectly on the ground.

"Why don't you use your power?" Karm asked during the fight.

After fighting so many hunters, he came to know they had a trigger to awaken their powers. This fact makes him always prevent every hunter from using their powers.

However, he realized Radmilo had done nothing to activate his power. The man seemed to have known he would make it impossible for him to do the trigger.

"Why should I use my power?" Radmilo jumped a second time, trying to cut off Karm's head, but was immediately stopped by the mummy.

When he hit the ground again, he said, "You can't even beat me when I haven't used my power. But I must admit that you're strong because you can counteract all of my attacks."

Karm was smart and strong, so he could guess the direction of Radmilo's attack and block it. However, he had poor emotional control. Radmilo's words sparked his anger. He began to brutally attack the man.

He lunged, slashing his ax, but all of his attacks were well absorbed by Radmilo's sword. The sword was not as big as his ax, however, it could counterattack well.

Karm tried to stop Radmilo by jumping onto him, but the man easily dodged and landed on top of him. Before Radmilo cut his head, he first grabbed the man's body and slammed him down.

"Don't think about hitting my head! You can't do it."

Radmilo rolled on the ground but managed to stand before crashing into the door. He plunged his sword into the ground, making Karm frown warily.

A moment later, Radmilo jumped up and used the hilt of his sword as a foothold. In no time, he jumped again to deliver a lunge kick to Karm's head.

Karm was equally quick, so he could protect his head from Radmilo's attack. The kick, however, shattered his shoulder blade and severed his left hand from his torso.

The shock of losing his arm made the mummy take a step back to keep his distance from Radmilo. He knew the man was tough, but the damage to his shoulder surprised him.

Even his shoulder took some time to regenerate, proving that Radmilo's kick dealt the same amount of damage as strong weapons.

"To be honest, this fight was a bit disappointing. You're not as strong as Zivile says."

Radmilo examined Karm's left hand, which was gradually returning to the mummy's body.

Meanwhile, Karm woke up from his shock and fought Radmilo again. This time, his attacks were more powerful than before.

"I'm sorry, but I won't let you go until you die!" Karm yelled while swinging his ax. Still, Radmilo could avoid it.

Realizing he could not defeat Radmilo alone, he then cast a spell, and the ground shook violently.

Radmilo smiled when he saw the undead army coming out of the ground. Karm's power was undeniable. However, the mummy was not among the most powerful monsters he had ever encountered.

The undead army was led by two big mummies, and the rest were skeletons. They were all fast-moving, so they could reach Radmilo in no time. The man readied his sword. He was prepared to deal with them.

"This army is stronger than the ones you defeated before," told Karm, reading Radmilo's expression.

"You don't have to worry. I didn't use all of my strength against your undead army previously."

Radmilo refused to be underestimated. There were no gaps in the undead army's formation, and they attacked at incredible speeds. Even so, he was superior because he could destroy them with a single slash of his sword.

The undead army was about to break through when they regenerated, but Radmilo could defend himself and defeat them again.

They were unable to break through the man's defenses. Karm could not just watch the fight after seeing that. He had to make sure that Radmilo would not escape alive.

However, the man kept blocking all of Karm's attacks. Radmilo did not look overwhelmed when he fought Karm and the undead army at the same time. He could dodge as well as attack with dexterity.

Their fight lasted a long time. In the end, Radmilo made the undead army unable to regenerate anymore. He also managed to demolish the armor that was protecting Karm's body.

"You're not going to run away?" Radmilo smiled mockingly.

Karm glared at Radmilo as he tried to find any weakness in his opponent. However, he found none.

"No need to do that," Radmilo spoke again. "I'll kill you, anyway."

With a sudden movement, Karm swung his ax. Radmilo easily avoided it and slashed his sword at Karm's neck. His attack missed its target as the mummy dodged to the side.

Radmilo had grown tired of this fight. He did not use his power on purpose because he wanted to try fighting with just his sword. It turned out that even an A-class monster like Karm could not satisfy him.

"You're a formidable opponent, Karm. Thanks for the fight."

Karm's pupils constricted as flames engulfed Radmilo's sword. When the man lunged at him, he held back the sword with his ax. However, the sword was stronger than before, shattering his ax in an instant.

Before the mummy could react, Radmilo swung his sword toward him. The sword pierced through Karm's chest. After that, the sword's flames scorched the bandages that wrapped around the mummy's body.

It was a fire that would continue to burn and could only be extinguished if Karm could not regenerate anymore. Because Karm was the strongest in the dungeon, it took a long time for the fire to do significant damage to Karm.

But still, Karm eventually stopped regenerating. As soon as the fire was put out, a black stone appeared, and Radmilo grabbed it. The black stone was the core requested by Zivile and sought after by many hunters.

The core could be used to make effective healing potions. The potions were not only useful for hunters, but also for humans. It had the potential to heal any wounds and help relieve serious illnesses.

Many hunters were competing to defeat Karm the Undead. Unfortunately, the Guild Union had arranged that only A-rank hunters could enter the Forest of Death Dungeon. It was because if a hunter died in that dungeon, they would become part of the undead army.

Meanwhile, the raid team was perplexed because the entrance to the dungeon boss had been sealed. That meant there was a fight going on over there.

Moments earlier, they had also heard of a fight from another area. They could not check it because they were also fighting the undead army. When they arrived at the location, they found out there were other people in the dungeon.

They believed the ones who defeated the undead army were the item smugglers. One person could not defeat the undead army. As a result, they felt struck by lightning to see only one man show up from the hole.
