Villain Hides His True Colors

p> 

“B-but…”

 

Even with my words, there was no movement.
Everyone was just looking at the surroundings with a frightened look.

 

Hmm…it seemed they were completely traumatized by what had happened.

 

I guess the effect of < Reputation of a Warrior > was useless now.

 

But right then, Mousin, who was watching the situation from the side, spoke.

 

“Hmph! You chicken shits! I can’t believe I was competing with such scaredy cats.
You guys stay here and die or whatever.
I-I’m leaving.
Tsk!”

 

Soon, he and his group lined up behind me.

 

I looked at him for a moment.
When I looked closely, I could see that he was shaking slightly.

 

This was unexpected.

 

I didn’t think this idiot would move first.
Next, the bomb girl with colorful hair approached me.

 

“I want to leave too~ It’s so cold here.
Hehe.”

 

Her expression was awkwardly stiff as if she were forcibly smiling.
Anyone could tell she was trying to hide her fear.
However, she stood firmly next to Mousin without expressing her feelings.

 

And then.

 

A group of subtle light came out of their bodies, and their stiff expressions gradually began to relax.

 

Oh?

 

Was this how the skill works? It seemed to not only have the AoE buff mentioned in the description, but also the effect of raising morale.

 

The light that started like that began to spread more and more to its surroundings.

Others didn’t seem to be aware of the lights, but in my eyes, there was a bright swarm of lights permeating their bodies.

 

Those who had a lost expression began to gather by me one by one with a shine in their eyes.

 

“I-I suddenly feel like I can do anything?”

 

“Yes! There’s no way to stay here anyway.”

 

“What’s the big deal with robots anyway? I’ve already experienced it during the 3rd test.”

 

And at some point, there was a group of brightly shining lights next to me.

 

Who could look at them and think they were the same people from earlier? There was not a shadow of defeat or despair in their eyes.

This…It was definitely effective?

 

Brave warriors full of confidence in victory.
On top of that, even if they didn’t look the part, they were actually talented people who were high-rank hero candidates.

 

Even if the opponent was an A-Rank hero with transcended abilities, if it was this much and along with my AoE buff, I thought it was a fight worth trying.

 

This was fun.

 

It felt like I was directly commanding units from an RTS game.

 

I told them.

 

“Everyone, please let me know what your abilities are.”

 

Something like knowing your enemy and knowing yourself?

 

To win this fight, I needed to understand the characteristics of the units I had.

 

So I started to figure out everyone’s abilities and characteristics for a while as a plan was devised to deal with the A-Rank hero.

 

And as a result…

 

“The most important people in this operation are ahjussi and noona.”

 

“M-me?”

 

“Huh? Me?”

 

Mousin who only had the talent to run away.
And the bomb girl who was the worst team player but had overwhelming firepower.

 

With the combination of these two, the A-Rank hero will fall.

 

“There’s a job I have for the two of you.”

 

Contrary to their puzzled expressions, I smiled confidently.

What the hell…is that boy?

 

Recalling the scenes she had seen a moment ago, Samaria couldn’t help but open her mouth a little.

 

The image of Noah easily blocking the energy emitted by a giant mechanical dragon with his whole body.

 

That’s…impossible.

 

She had seen that machine before.
On the day Dr.
Jaegal took the A-Rank promotion test, she was also at the scene.

 

The name of the technique was < Dragon’s Rage >

 

Dr.
Jaegal, who was considered highly versatile but weak in terms of firepower, in fact had earned A-Rank just because of this killing blow.

 

Frankly, she wasn’t confident in taking such an attack with her body either.

 

But he…

 

A hero candidate who was only 13 years old.

 

At first, she had thought he was just the kind of person who had no hesitation to kill.

 

But looking at the abilities he had shown so far, she began to think more and more that Pamir may be right.

 

As someone who had lived for many years, she had never seen anyone with such diverse abilities at such a young age before…

 

Choi Noah is unbelievable.

 

She frowned.
From what she had seen so far, there was no more doubt.
Noah was definitely a Warrior.

 

What the hell do I do with him?

 

Would it be better to give up on him now? She thought about it for a moment before shaking her head.

 

Wait…that’s not it…

 

A Warrior was an existence who could change fate.
So, if she could use him well, wouldn’t he be able to solve even the shackles she had?

 

Right.
This is actually an opportunity.

 

Her expression turned peaceful again.

 

What was the probability that a Warrior would appear in the world? There was no way of knowing, but it must be close to an astronomical low figure.

 

And now an opportunity was in right front of her.

 

If I can make a Warrior into my own toy…

 

Just imagining it, she already felt numb all over her body.

 

Ah… It’s not time for that here.

 

A dormant, deep voice flowed out little by little.

When Samaria’s mana fluctuated, Pamir immediately looked back and asked.

 

“What’s the matter? Is there something wrong?”

 

“N-no.
The situation hasn’t changed much.”

 

“Hmm…Well, it hasn’t been long yet.
I hope you keep watching and let me know.”

 

“Yes.
I will.”

 

Fortunately, Pamir moved on without any doubt.

 

As he said, it was too short of a time for something to have happened, so it was plausible.

 

Let’s watch the situation a little more for now.
Then, if I have the chance, I have to use a scapegoat for the Warrior.

 

She was drawing up a plan in one corner of her mind as she continued to observe Noah.

 

After some time, Noah and the other candidates had gathered and began to move.

 

Where are they heading?

 

Nearly 100 people were dashing on the snowy field.

 

Those who had the ability to move or accelerate supported those who lagged behind as they moved forward at a high speed.
The figure was organized like a beast.

 

Over there…It’s near the base camp.
Don’t tell me they’re going to attack it?

 

That was too reckless.
No matter how many numbers they had, the opponent was an A-Rank hero.

 

In particular, Dr.
Jaegal’s specialty was defense and he could fortify and defend the base.

 

Fortunately, however, the group would swerve and change directions to some extent as they ran.

 

And at the forefront, there was a man dangling from a long wooden pole.

 

He was the eldest son of the Deiros family, famous for being a ‘newbie hunter.’

 

The hell…what are they doing?

 

She increased the output of her familiar so she could overhear their conversations.

 

“How is it? Ahjussi? Do you sense you’re going to die?”

“Aaaahhhh! D-dangerous! I-it’s dangerous here!”

“Okay.
Everyone, to the left!”

 

They changed their direction in an orderly manner again.

 

Unintelligible behavior.
By making such a fuss, she was sure the robots would notice and rush at them.
So why?

 

As such, the group circled around the snowfield for a while.

 

And at some point…

 

Eventually, robots throughout the snowy field had gathered and surrounded them.

 

The number exceeded hundreds and was into the thousands.

 

In addition, there were giant robots sparsely placed between the other robots as guards.

 

The moment she saw it, she let out a short sigh.

 

This…is the end.

 

Will the Warrior die here? Did she misunderstand?

 

As soon as she thought as such, suddenly, something could be seen from the gaze of one of her familiars floating in the distant sky.

 

Above the sky and high enough to meet the gaze of her familiar.

 

A baby angel who looked just like her familiars was flying with a woman dangling from it.

 

This girl…?

 

She definitely remembered seeing her during one of the tests.
A woman who had taken off her clothes and caused an explosion at the test site.

 

But what’s she doing up there?

 

Did she run away by herself?

 

At that moment, the angel who was holding the woman let go of his hand.

 

“Kyaaaak!”

 

The woman crashed to the ground at a high speed.

 

And…

 

Boooooom–!

 

At an altitude before hitting the ground, a huge explosion occurred and was followed by a blinding light.
