I Woke Up as the Villain

Chapter 150

A blood-red beam cut the tip of Kim Do-Jin's nose.

Upon hearing Yu-Seong’s voice, Do-Jin instinctively flinched. He furrowed his brow, then addressed Yu-Seong who was running towards him. "Don't make a fuss. I already knew that she wouldn't die from this."

This was a somewhat awkward situation. Yu-Seong stopped running. With an incredulous look on his face, he clicked his tongue and mumbled, "I was worried for nothing..."

"Who was worried about whom?" Kim Do-Jin laughed mockingly.

"Ahaha-! What's this? It’s getting more fun!" Emilia, with a hole in her heart, floated in the sky and laughed loudly.

- The Red Fang of the Dark Night keeps an eye on the players Kim Do-Jin and Choi Yu-Seong through the incarnation. Laughs happily.

"Wait, did that pervert try getting his fangs into you too?”

"Just wasn’t my type. I rejected him.”

"Same here."

As Do-Jin and Yu-Seong conversed briefly, Emilia suddenly stopped laughing. She said, "Do you know that I feel bad whenever you insult my god like that?”

Emilia shot out even more red-black energy, but her attack was blocked by the thick walls that Helen had erected.

Helen, who was standing beside Kim Do-Jin and Choi Yu-Seong, asked, "Do you think you guys can handle her?"

"Are you going to be understanding if we say that we can’t?” asked Yu-Seong.

Helen gave a cold smile. "I doubt it. I trust you both."

"Go ahead. I'll try my best. It'll be difficult on my own, but..." Yu-Seong’s voice trailed off as he looked at Do-Jin, who was watching them with a relaxed expression.

"Who said we’re fighting together?" asked Do-Jin.

Yu-Seong inwardly thought that Do-Jin’s remark was unnecessary, but he still managed to show a smile. As he always said, he knew Kim Do-Jin very well.

"Help me," Yu-Seong said.

"What?"

"I've helped you before, too."

Kim Do-Jin had a strong sense of pride.

"What do you mean…?"

"If it weren't for my help, you would have died just now."

"I already knew the vampire wasn’t going to die!"

"Anyway, debts need to be paid."

"Who owes who...?"

For some reason, it seemed that Do-Jin liked Yu-Seong quite a bit.

"Please, Kim Do-Jin. Right now, there's no one else but you," Yu-Seong requested sincerely.

Yu-Seong found this decision to be an easy one, since he couldn’t possibly stand up against Emilia without Do-Jin’s help.

At that moment, the thick walls that Helen had erected began to crumble. The gaps between the fragments allowed three red beams of light to come through. Two beams of light were targeting both Yu-Seong and Do-Jin.

Kim Do-Jin gave Yu-Seong no reply. He simply raised his sword, unleashing silver sword energy to slice the two red beams of light apart.

‘Did he just deflect the red lights away?’

Once again, Yu-Seong had to admit that Kim Do-Jin was a monster.

Helen, who had blocked the remaining attack with her palm, frowned.

‘With the use of sword energy, he could have blocked all three red beams of light.’

But for some reason, Do-Jin’s sword energy did not block the light beam that had been targeting Helen Mirren. The reason for that was rather obvious.

‘His intentions are not to assist me, but rather to solely aid Yu-Seong.’

It was ridiculous, but the situation wasn’t completely awful.

"Well, then. I’ll trust you, kiddos."

And with that, Helen turned around and started running towards the basement. She did not even bother to look back.

Despite their superior abilities compared to their peers in the same rank, Kim Do-Jin and Choi Yu-Seong had yet to reach the A-rank level. In other words, them trying to defeat Emilia was no different from wishing for a miracle.

‘Helen has to get the Philosopher's Stone as soon as possible and come back.’

If she had the power of the Philosopher's Stone, Emilia would no longer be a challenge for Helen.

"Where are you running off to?!"

Emilia saw Helen running ahead of her, so she spread her wings wide.

At that moment, Yu-Seong swept past the end of Emilia’s wings like a ray of light. He laughed while stretching out his spear.

‘As expected, using it in midair greatly weakens its speed and power.’

He had unleashed his Lance Charging, but it was slower and weaker than expected. He had planned to completely bend one wing, but his efforts had only allowed him to brush against Emilia’s wing and pass by.

Still, Yu-Seong’s sneak attack was enough to unnerve Emilia. She missed her intended target, which was Helen’s back, as her blood-red ray slightly veered off course and obliterated a large wall instead.

Emilia said with a frown, "You're faster than I thought.”

She quickly tried to catch Yu-Seong by the neck, but Do-Jin had used magic to create a strong vacuum between them.

Bang-!

Along with the explosion, two people were pushed away from each other. The immediate impact was not strong, but it was still strong enough to get them out of the sky.

Do-Jin caught the falling Yu-Seong with one arm. Then, he said, “We have agreed to work together in this fight, so we should complement each other like bread and butter.”

"What?"

"She’s not a woman that you can handle. And now, I owe you nothing."

Do-Jin was being somewhat cheeky, but his intention was clear as day.

‘Does that mean he’s going to help me properly?’

The battle with Vincent had been very different from this one. At that time, Kim Do-Jin had been somewhat uncooperative. To be fair, they had also been in great danger unexpectedly.

‘Of course, it might be because I hid the Wind Thunder Dragon God Art skill.’

This time, Yu-Seong had no such thoughts. This current situation and opponent were not easy to deal with, so he intended to do his very best.

‘If the opportunity arises, I will immediately activate the Wind Thunder Dragon God Art skill.’

Emilia looked at the two men with a strange gaze, then said with a surprised look, "Come to think of it, Helen’s two assistants…"

Vincent had died because he had gone to investigate Helen’s two assistants. At that time, Helen had been in Juseok Palace.

After coming to a conclusion, Emilia had an incredulous expression on her face. She said, "Do you mean Vincent was caught by kids like you?"

She burst out laughing. "Oh my-! What a fool you were, Vincent! But still...”

Soon, she began releasing a suffocating aura that made the air much heavier than before. It was like a storm was brewing…

‘It’s heavy.’?

Yu-Seong gripped his spear, which felt unusually heavy. Its weight became almost unbearable. He trembled and remembered Emilia’s title of being ‘one of the Twelve Dark Kings’. Then, while trying to steady his erratic heartbeat, he looked at Kim Do-Jin.

‘Is that guy...fearless, or does he think he’s invincible as the protagonist?’?

Looking at Do-Jin’s always nonchalant expression, Yu-Seong felt a sense of relief for some reason. He could not look at Emilia's twisted face with a lighter heart.

“That guy was my only companion in this boring town, and you killed him. Do you know how angry that makes me?” Emilia said.

“I don't care,” Kim Do-Jin answered briefly before flying forward. His silver sword energy seemingly tore Emilia apart, but she had already disappeared from that spot.

Reappearing behind Yu-Seong, Emilia said with a cold voice, "It seems that you two are quite close, but I'll make you feel the same way as I did!"

Yu-Seong turned around and spread his arms as he invoked Wind Control. Suddenly, Emilia's fingernail, which was as sharp and long as a beast’s, tore into his illusion. Despite that close call, Yu-Seong stepped forward and extended his hand.

"Dancing Electric Doll."

Yu-Seong no longer needed to conceal his identity. He revealed the battle suit he had kept hidden beneath his clothes.

At the same time, Kim Do-Jin's sword collided with Emilia's claws.

When Do-Jin swayed slightly, Yu-Seong leapt forward to attack Emilia’s head.

‘The weakness of the vampire is not the heart, but the brain… Raging Snake!’

When a sharp spear wrapped around her arm and reached for her neck, Emilia tried to avoid the attack by bending over in a 90-degree angle. However, her forehead was kicked by Kim Do-Jin.

Boom-!

Emilia spread her bloody red defense shield and blocked Do-Jin's attack, then unsheathed her claws without hesitation.

Do-Jin and Yu-Seong backed away, widening the distance between them and Emilia. At their original spot from mere seconds ago, there was now a bloody red line passing through.

‘If we weren't quick enough, both of us would have ended up as corpses in that very spot.’

However, Emilia’s attack was not over. She spread her wings wide and tried to cover them from behind.

‘This is...?’

If he got caught, his life would come to a miserable end. Yu-Seong immediately unleashed all of his strength and sliced through the wings with his lance. Then, he escaped alongside Do-Jin.

Do-Jin looked at Yu-Seong and said, "That powerful technique is pretty useful."

"Is that a compliment?"

Do-Jin nodded in response just as Emilia's claws came close to swiping at them.

Looking at Emilia’s angry glare, Yu-Seong quickly blocked her with his spear. However, he was sent flying up into the sky.

‘What kind of strength is this…?!’

Thankfully, Yu-Seong's spear was an ancient relic. If it had not been created by Pharaoh’s Caprice, the spear would have been torn apart by Emilia’s fingernails.

The most surprising thing was that Kim Do-Jin was facing Emilia's attack head-on.

"It looks like the battle is getting more and more dangerous, but..." Yu-Seong’s voice trailed off.

It was his turn to attack. Once his feet touched the ground, Yu-Seong activated his Third Eye to the maximum and watched Emilia's movements for a short time. Then, he realized one thing.

‘The trajectory of her movement is almost fixed.’?

Emilia had strong power and ability, but she had a fixed pattern of battling.

‘She’s not in the air, but on the ground. This is an opportunity.’

Did Do-Jin read Yu-Seong’s mind? Do-Jin nodded without even looking at Yu-Seong. He never stepped back from battling Emilia, even though he was getting increasingly wounded.

‘I’m going.’

Yu-Seong had read nearly all of Emilia's movements, so he no longer had to hesitate. This time, with a clear goal in mind, he attacked.

‘Lance Charging.’

An extended light pierced through Emilia's small body.

***

Down in the underground bunker, there was a spacious room that had the pungent odor of blood. The atmosphere was humid and sticky. Blood dripped from the ceiling like rain.

In the room were dozens of black-robed figures who stood on a dark pentagram, which had been drawn on the floor. They were chanting ominously. It was as if they were praying.

Bang-!

Kim Un-Jeong entered through an iron gate. He frowned at the unexpectedly loud noise. "Ugh..."

After a momentary wave of nausea, Un-Jeong turned to look at the green-lit box that was at the center of the pentagram. He could also feel the overflowing blood-colored energy that swept away the darkness of the night.

The energy came from the blood dripping from the ceiling and the black-robed figures’ chanting.

Kim Un-Jeong wanted to jump forward to seize the treasure, but he didn't have the courage to ignore the blood-colored energy coming from the pentagram.

‘I can't be their living sacrifice… If it is to protect the Philosopher's Stone, then the Demon King Worshipers would also admit that this is an inevitable choice.’

Kim Un-Jeong unhesitantly summoned his Homunculus and cut off the black-robed figures, who became lifeless corpses instantly. The dark energy disappeared, and the blood stopped falling from the ceiling.

After killing all the black-robed figures, Kim Un-Jeong reached out toward the Philosopher's Stone, which began to emit an eerie green light. He muttered deliriously, “With this… With this…”

First, Un-Jeong would be able to survive. Then, he would be able to reclaim his wealth and power once again.

Kim Un-Jeong's eyes turned red as his hand reached for the stone.

Thud-!

Suddenly, a hand ax buried itself into Un-Jeong’s left shoulder from behind. He fell to the ground without a sound.

A woman stepped out of the darkness with soft laughter. With a smile of madness, she said, “Hm... The trap has been successfully cleared.”
