Should I Become a Villain?

Chapter 71 Vessels Of Blood

'Please wake me up when you've made your decision. Don't call me when you're still confused or I'll kill you again.'

Karm gave no response to Radmilo's words because the man had really gone to sleep. He could not understand how Radmilo could fall asleep in this situation.

Meanwhile, Jim continued to take advantage of the situation because Karm looked as unfocused as ever. This was not his first experience raiding the Forest of Death Dungeon. As a result, he was aware that Karm was acting strangely.

"Keep attacking him! Don't worry about anything else!" Jim screamed as Harold and Bond became distracted by Dianella.

The girl hit the ground hard because Karm threw her. Everyone did not know how she was because she was still using her power of invisibility.

Carl could not stay silent after realizing Dianella did not move from her place. He cast a glance at the raid team members, who were back in the fight. After making sure Jim was not paying attention, he backed away toward Dianella while keeping his <Accurate Healing Rope> connected to his team members.

"Hey, can you hear me? If you pass out now, the team will be in trouble!"

Dianella, who was still conscious, immediately deactivated her power. She sat up and rubbed her back. "I think I broke a rib. My auto-healing can't help since mine is still at a low level. You know what I mean right?"

Carl let out an irritated sigh. He could not completely heal Dianella because his healing magic only had 25% best effects.

"How long will it take you to recover completely?" Carl asked while deactivating his <Accurate Healing Rope> skill.

"Probably about twenty minutes. I'm sure you can fight that long to replace me."

Carl gave a quick nod. He clenched his fists for a few seconds before opening them again. Thin red ropes appeared from his palms and flew towards Karm.

The ropes bound Karm's body, preventing him from swinging his ax at Jim. The mummy tried to untie the ropes but failed. It clung to his body tightly.

At the same time, Harold and Bond looked confused because the red ropes were also connected to their bodies. They had just raided with Carl for the first time.

Therefore, they did not know that Carl was not an ordinary healer. The red ropes had different effects on each individual. Harold and Bond noticed an increase in their health points. Karm, on the other hand, gained nothing but pain.

Carl's power appeared to be very strong, but Jim and Dianella knew the <Vessels of Blood> skill would not last long. Carl could only use this skill for fifteen minutes before returning to the first skill.

"Don't squander this chance! Attack him once more!" Jim gave instructions because Harold and Bond just kept quiet to digest the situation.

The two of them immediately attacked back when they saw Jim kick off the ground and fly toward Karm's head. Harold shot a fiery arrow into Karm's chest, causing it to burn. When the smoke cleared, the fire went out.

It turned out that Karm could still regenerate even though his body was burning with fire. Bond then summoned trolls from the ground to jump on top of Karm and started fighting him.

Meanwhile, Jim slashed Karm once more with lightning-fast movements that no one could keep up with. Even Karm admitted that Jim was a skilled sword user. The man used his weapon and power to great effect.

Karm could not avoid all of their attacks because the ropes still bound him. Nonetheless, the raid team still needed a long time to truly beat him. They would grow tired and irritated as his body regenerated after being destroyed.

"Now for the knockout blow!"

Jim slashed his sword around Karm's neck, but Carl's time to use his power was up. The ropes that bound Karm's body were finally removed. The mummy swung the ax around like a baseball bat.

Even though Karm had revived, Jim would not be afraid. He jumped onto Karm's right shoulder after avoiding the ax strike. Karm's right hand was now his target because it was used to wield the ax.

Karm realized Jim's intentions. When the man launched an attack on his right hand, he blocked it with his other hand, bringing his sword to a halt. Jim persisted and tried to attack him again after that.

At the same time, Dianella stood up from the ground and stretched for a bit. "Ugh! How vexing. Time for revenge!"

Dianella looked at the situation first. When she saw Jim attack Karm from the front, she immediately used her invisibility power and approached Karm from behind. She smacked his back with her knuckles.

"Grrr!"

Karm growled because Dianella had recovered and attacked him again. The girl was the second person he had to watch out for after Jim. However, he had to be grateful because Dianella had such a violent attack pattern.

Thus, Karm was still able to guess the girl's attack direction even though he was sometimes too late to dodge. He also had to concentrate on avoiding Harold's flaming arrows. The magical fire from the arrow slowed his regeneration.

"Hey, watch out!" Dianella shouted at Harold when Karm suddenly came running.

Bond could adapt to situations because he wanted to protect his friend. He summoned more trolls to obstruct Karm's progress. Unfortunately, Karm quickly grabbed Harold's hand and use it as a pivot to knock down the trolls.

At the same time, Jim and Dianella moved together to attack Karm. They attacked from different angles. It seemed that their attacks were quite effective as Karm growled and released Harold from his hand.

Harold could still move even though his body was injured from being used as a shield to take down the trolls. It was all because of support from Carl. If there was no healer, then he would have fainted long ago.

"I will not remain silent!" shouted Harold, deciding that he would go next. He took a few steps back before shooting a fiery arrow right at Karm's head.

In response, Karm raised his ax above his head and slashed it at Harold. This time, the man managed to evade. But Karm was not finished yet. Instead of swinging his ax, he used his fist to hit Harold in the head.

"Gyaaaah!"

Harold lost consciousness after being hit by a devastating blow. Just as Karm was about to hit him one more time, Dianella suddenly jumped on his back and punched Karm in the head.

Unfortunately, her attack did not work because Karm could regenerate. He turned away from Harold to attack Dianella, who was still using her invisibility power.

Karm swung his ax in all directions, causing Carl to get hurt as he could not escape properly. When Karm realized the healer was struggling to avoid him, he turned to Carl and attempted to slice him with his ax.

However, Bond summoned more trolls to creep into Karm's body and strike him. The mummy could not move for a moment as the trolls tightly hugged his legs. Karm had to deal with them first. He twisted his body around to make the troll release its grip.

The same strategy kept happening over and over again. Jim and Dianella teamed up to attack Karm, while Harold and Bond were always there to distract him. Also, Bond always prevented Karm whenever the mummy tried to get close to Carl.

Even though their strategy was not far from that, Karm could not eat them because Carl's support was the main reason. All the raid members could keep attacking him because Carl could still support them.

"Let's finish this!" Jim shouted after fighting for an hour.

Carl gave a nod as the words earlier were pointed out for him. He was able to use his <Vessels of Blood> skill again since an hour had passed.

As soon as he activated his skill, the red ropes immediately moved and wrapped around Karm's body. He then started pulling on the rope until Karm was pulled from the ground.

Meanwhile, Jim and Dianella threw their all strength to deliver the ultimate attack. Harold also used his magic to conjure fireballs at the tips of his arrows and shot them at Karm.

It exploded when it touched his body. Suddenly, the room filled with smoke due to Harold's magical fire attack. After a few seconds, the smoke cleared.

The battle was now in its last stage. Karm was already beaten by the raid team. His face was covered in cuts and blood. He thought this was the right time to contact Radmilo.

'Hey, wake up! I only have a few minutes left before the raid team finishes me off.'

Radmilo, on the other hand, woke up from his sleep when he heard Karm scream in his head. He yawned as he walked towards the hole to greet the raid team when they defeated the dungeon boss.

'So have you decided?' Radmilo asked after arriving in front of the hole.
