Should I Become a Villain?

Chapter 5 Testing Skill At The Gate

Now the time had stopped, and everyone could not move. The only person who could move freely was Radmilo. The skill of the pause time was indeed very dangerous, but it also had a weakness.

The way to activate <pause> was with a flick of the finger. If other people found out about it, then they would prevent Radmilo from snapping his fingers. However, people find it difficult to block him, which could speed up or slow down time.

"These guys are really weak. I won't gain anything by killing them," Radmilo spoke as he looked at everyone in front of him.

A moment later, he raised the sword in his hand, slashed it straight at Gordan's heart, and tore his body apart. He also did this to everyone without hesitation. His face was still impassive as the tip of his blade moved to slash their faces.

"Well, they'll be hard to identify now. I wonder how the people closest to them will react. It's a shame because I can't see it," muttered Radmilo, looking at the body on the ground with satisfaction.

Those people were completely formless now, their bodies dismembered and their internal organs strewn on the ground. Ordinary people would surely be horrified when they saw how they were.

However, Radmilo showed nothing on his face. The man exited the dungeon, bearing no guilt. In his previous life, he had killed many people and witnessed how people were torn apart by monsters.

Such gruesome scenery would no longer work for Radmilo. He had lost his sympathy since killing people at the request of the world government. Even at that time, he did not hesitate to kill Elena Trefilova, a woman who was considered a criminal and could endanger world safety.

After all of that murder, Radmilo realized he had no mercy. People called him a hero, even though he was being kind to his advantage. He was actually a manipulative person, and it seemed they did not realize it just because he was acting like a hero.

"Deactivate skill three," Radmilo said when he reached a deserted place.

Time went back to normal after he deactivated the <pause> skill. Now he was in an abandoned housing estate. Around the house, there was a warning sign telling that the place was not safe.

The plank was a sign that in the area there was an unopened gate. Radmilo remembered that this year the government had predicted when the gate would explode. The person who could detect the opening of the gate had appeared.

And that person was Maido, the person who became Radmilo's 'close friend' in his previous life. Maido was an awakener with the power to predict the future. At first, he could only know what would happen in the next minute.

Over time, Maido's power developed, and he could predict the future of an object. This skill allowed him to know when the gate would explode. Because of this power, he became a favorite of the government.

"Maido, that bastard is indeed incredible. He even wants to curry favor with the government to secure his position," said Radmilo, suddenly irritated when he remembered the person.

Even though he did not want to admit it, Maido would be a tough opponent in the future. Maido could prevent Radmilo's attack because he knew the future. His power allowed him to urge Radmilo not to use his skill.

Nothing would change, even if time was repeated. Maido could still read Radmilo's movements and they would continue to fight until one of them lost strength. If Radmilo did not want to lose, then he had to prevent Maido from becoming strong.

"First, I have to make the government dislike Maido. They provide excellent training facilities for Maido because they realize his great potential. He will not develop quickly if the government doesn't pay attention to him."

Right after saying that, Radmilo walked towards the gate in the middle of the housing. Then he exclaimed, "Activate skill one! Choose the gate as the target skill."

[The <Speed ??Up> skill has been used on the target; Gate]

Radmilo looked at the gate warily. Not only on humans but the <Speed ??Up> skill could also be used on inanimate objects. The objects hit by this skill would get time acceleration according to his desire.

If the skill could affect the speed of the gate exploding, then Radmilo could take advantage of it. He would make several gates open faster and make Maido's predictions deviate. When this happened, the world government would doubt Maido's abilities and then throw him away.

Radmilo's wait was finally over because he saw signs that the gate would be exploded. Now he knew that his skill could also affect the speed of the gate explosion. However, getting to know this fact was not free.

The types of gates were common knowledge for everyone. The bigger the gate, the bigger the monster that would come out. And the gate that was currently open was huge. Radmilo had to give up his time by killing the monster.

"Let's see what kind of monster I will fight," said Radmilo, while looking around.

He purposely brought nothing, including weapons, when he came out of the dungeon because he did not want to be suspected in the future. However, weapons like swords were not an important item for Radmilo. It was because he could use anything as a weapon with his power.

It turned out that the monster that came out of the gate was a basilisk, a reptile in European legend known as the king of snakes because it had a crown on its head. The basilisk was a lizard with the head of a rooster, the tail of a snake, and eight chicken legs.

Radmilo immediately closed his eyes when he realized something. Basilisks could inflict death if someone looked into their eyes. Not only that, but the basilisk's tail also held a deadly poison, and had a pretty good range.

In the future, the government strictly forbade hunters from entering dungeons containing basilisks. It was because the hybrid-type monsters were extremely poisonous. However, some hunters were reckless after finding out that the reward for killing the basilisk was very tempting.

Radmilo stopped thinking when he felt the basilisk getting closer. Before the tail of the monster attacked him, he immediately retreated while shouting, "Activate skill one!"
