Villain Ch 58. Do You Want To Do It With Me?
At the same time, Allen canceled his Hiding skill and appeared behind the swordsman like a true assassin. Before the swordsman could even move, Allen had launched a series of lethal thrusts with his weapons.
The swordsman tried to fight back, but he was no match for Allen’s lightning-fast movements and deadly accuracy. In just a few seconds, the swordsman was lying on the ground, his lifeless body twitching spasmodically.
[You have managed to kill 3 players]
[Kill players 10/10]
[Your quest is completed!]
Once the announcement appeared in front of them, Allen and his team suddenly felt a strange sensation wash over them. It was as if they were being pulled through some kind of portal or teleportation spell. The loading screen had flashed before their eyes for just a moment.
A second later, they found themselves standing in front of the Cursed Crypts’ imposing gates, where Thera was waiting for them. Thera looked at them as if she had been expecting them all along. “Welcome back, heartless demons,” she said,
Another announcement appeared in front of them.
[Congratulations! You have successfully completed your quest!]
[You got EXP and 500 Coins!]
[Level up!] [Level up!]
[You have reached level 23!]
“Sweet!” he said. This was the first time this game had given him a good amount of coins. Not to mention the EXP. 10 players for two levels was a nice bargain.
With a quick gesture, he canceled his disguise and returned to his true form as The Devil Emperor. Though he had briefly enjoyed taking on the appearance of the dual dagger user, he knew deep down that this look was more fitting for him, especially after what he had done.
“Killing players is surely more fun than killing monsters,” Shea stated with a sly grin on her face. Her eyes shone with excitement at the mere thought of it. “They are more challenging after all,” she added. It was clear that Shea was still not satisfied since she hadn’t gotten her turn to duel earlier. Her competitive nature was evident in the way she spoke, always eager for a challenge.
Allen nodded in agreement. “Indeed,” he admitted. “But for the time being, we can’t enter low level maps and kill players freely except for the quest.” He reminded her of the game’s rules, which were in place to ensure a fair and balanced gameplay experience for all. If they were allowed to slaughter newbies too often, it would not only ruin the game’s reputation but also drive away potential players.
Shea let out a long sigh of disappointment, her shoulders slumping. “Yeah, I know. It’s just that… it would be so much fun if we could,” she said with a pout.
Seeing her disappointment, he decided to divert her attention to another topic. “Since we are here, shall we hunt together?” Allen offered. “I want to explore the Tower of Power’s second floor and check out that floor boss.”
Shea’s face lit up with excitement at the prospect of the hunting. “That sounds like a great idea! Zoe and I just finished hunting on the first floor and intended to go to the second floor after restocking our potions. But we met Vivian mid-way, so we decided to finish our quest first,” she explained.
“That’s why you leveled up so fast,” Allen said.
Shea’s lips curved upwards in a smug smile, as she reveled in her own capabilities. She may not be too active to play games anymore, but her abilities had not withered away with time. Her confidence shone through her words as she declared, “Don’t underestimate me. I may be a veteran, but I haven’t lost my touch.” Her confidence was clear in her tone. “But I can’t hunt for too long,” she declared in disappointment. “I have a meeting in two hours.”
Allen, on the other hand, turned to Vivian and Zoe, who had been silent for some time. “How about you guys?” he asked.
But the stillness of their characters indicated that they were away from their VR devices, caught up in some other tasks. A frown appeared on his forehead. “Vivian? Zoe? Are you guys still there?” he called out, hoping to draw their attention back to the game.
Just as Allen’s voice trailed off, Vivian’s character suddenly sprang back to life. “Allen, I’ll AFK for a second,” she announced, her eyes darting to the side as if reading a message. “I got an important call from a magazine company.” With those words, Vivian’s character’s eyes turned blank once more. ｏｖ𝚕．ｃｏ𝚖
‘Magazine company?’ he thought. ‘She is that famous?’ He was never interested in celebrity news or modeling so he never knew Vivian before he met her at the Cyber Building.
Trying to push aside his curiosity, he turned to Zoe, hoping to draw her attention back to their game. “How about you, Zoe?” he asked, his voice laced with curiosity.
However, it was Shea who responded, her voice smooth and even. “Zoe has to send her online assignments to her lecturer,” she explained. “She said it would take some time since her project team hasn’t done the final edit yet.” With that, it became clear that even Zoe was preoccupied with work.
“I see…” he said.
With only the two of them present, he couldn’t resist the temptation to invite Shea to join him in an erotic act. It was an opportunity to gain an additional attribute, and he was sure Shea would be willing to indulge him.
But he didn’t want to approach it like a typical invitation to a hooker. Instead, he planned to lure Shea in slowly, building up to the moment when he would make his request. However, before he could even begin to execute his plan, Shea beat him to the punch.
“Since there are only two of us here, do you want to do it with me? Now,” Shea asked, her voice calm and collected. It was as if the suggestion of an erotic act was a trivial matter, something to be expected.
It made him speechless.
