I’m Not Your Dad, I’m a Villain

EP.34 EP2. Villain’s Aesthetics (2)

“You have no manners.”

A low-pitched voice heard shortly after the storm had subsided.

As if drawn to him, the arms that had hidden their sight were suddenly removed, and before long, my eyes were lit up in a white room surrounded by ice walls.

A wall created through her gift, Absolute Zero (Absolute Zero).

Inside the wall that had been frozen and thick, there was only silence, except for her voice.

It completely cuts out external shocks as well as sound… Damn, that’s still a bloody ability.

The power to plunder the heat of things and create solids anywhere.

“You seem to have provoked me to save her, but… … . Have you made up your mind?”

Using that power, in a space isolated from the outside, she quietly raised her sword towards me.

The bloody eyes that were exposed under the Baekjeong mask he was wearing.

As soon as I encountered it, I thought. Damn it, I’m dead now.

“… … I think you’re misunderstanding something, but I’m not here to save him.”

But the tremors that attacked my whole body were not a reason to back down.

“It’s you, not him, who has the business.”

Yes, Kana is important too, but for now, I need to take care of this guy first.

Although she doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the heroes who used drugs, I had to be concerned about why she came all the way here.

I am a member of the Ouroboros organization, and even after the organization collapsed, that fact did not change.

“I have a business… … .”

Conversely, what about your opponent?

“You’re talking as if you know me well, but… … . Have you ever seen me somewhere?”

“Well, where did you see it?”

Coincidentally, if everyone in Ouroboros is loyal to the organization, it probably won’t be.

There are people who see it as a means to the end, and there are people who do everything in their power to protect it because there is nowhere to go.

Of course, she also has respect for the organization and respect for its philosophy, but isn’t that the story of when the organization was still alive?

“Certainly, I know quite a bit about that side. For example, when you sleep, you always hug the bunny doll and sleep… … .”

With that in mind, right after I spit out a provocation with the intention of opening my mind.

– Damn it!

The icicles rising from the foot began to gradually spread to the surrounding area.

Hey, today and now, this provocation works well.

He is also a guy with a lot of shyness compared to his cold impression.

Even though I’m the same age as you, I still can’t sleep without a bunny doll.

– Whirlik!

But I too have seen her power countless times while I was in the organization.

The absolute zero she possesses is the ability to steal the heat of things.

The power to rapidly freeze even the aircraft and create thin ice wherever it is, shows an excellent effect in neutralizing enemies it comes into contact with.

Conversely, the range of abilities she has is only based on where she approaches or where the cold air has spread. Even if it’s within the range, it’s also not easy to aim at the designated target.

In other words, it is an unsuitable ability to target enemies that are constantly moving.

– Giggig!

Avoid icicles by using the smoothness of the ice sheet lying on the floor as it is.

Attacks rising from the floor can also be easily identified through the omen that stood out before them.

Because she uses her sword and feet as a medium to use her powers. Just by observing the movement, it is easy to determine from which direction she is attacking and where she will apply her abilities.

– Damn it.

Of course, even at this moment, the range of cold air is spreading.

Even the heat of this space itself has already dropped to tens of degrees below zero.

Although the regeneration power is recovering the frostbite, it is only ‘to the extent of slowing it down’. Even at this moment, Seo-ri is digging into every part of my body, trying to restrict the freedom of my body.

– Kugugung!

Even in the midst of that, an awl of ice rushing in from all directions. The white crystals created in the air are aiming at me and swirling fiercely.

Repeat the evasion to dodge, bending the body over and over for that attack.

Dodging the attack over and over again, as if it was uncomfortable to plant, she swung the sword in her hand to the floor.

– Aww!

Countless snow crystals that started from the ground.

It surged up like a wave like an avalanche and began to hit me.

Yep, here’s the win.

– Whirlik!

As it was, he slammed his body towards the waves, and clasped the Kukri in his hand, and jumped towards Seolhwaran.

The moment you dive in, your body temperature will be taken away in an instant.

But one room before that.

One room should be enough to reach him.

– Kaang!

Despite such desperation, Kukri in my hand made a terrifyingly intense metallic sound as soon as it touched her mask.

The moment the mask protected by ice cracks and cracks. Moreover, through him, the clearly revealed pupils are gradually becoming disorganized.

it’s bewildering

Because he wouldn’t have thought that a guy who rushed in believing in only his poor regenerative ability would give him a shot.

“It’s a pity, if I had only become a C-class, I would have blown your head… … .”

– Damn it!!

The stomach is pierced by the rising ice spikes, and the cooling of the body rapidly proceeds from that point.

The lower body is completely incapable of braking.

The only things that were not intentionally frozen were the chest and head. If your lungs and throat are intact, you will still be able to talk.

– Scream!

In that state, along with the sword being swung, the envelope written on my head was torn, revealing my bare face.

After all, the surroundings are filled with thin ice.

Even if you come now and your face is exposed, there is no problem.

“… … Also.”

After that, she took the mask off of my face and glanced over at my face.

“It’s a face you don’t know.”

“…….”

“It’s strange, you seem to know me well enough to provoke me… … .”

Oh yeah.

Of course I can’t remember.

Still, I thought you might remember my face just in case.

“I don’t know, just don’t do it. Because in the beginning, I was a minor pawn in Ouroboros.”

But it’s something I’ve already been prepared for, so I’m not worried about it.

It is also very familiar to shake off bitterness.

“… … sleepy?”

“Yes, among them, the pawn who worked under you. Isn’t that too much? No matter how senior you are, you forget the face of a loyal servant who has always served you.”

“…….”

Seolhwaran staring at me without saying a word.

His eyes are still trembling in embarrassment, but he is slowly regaining his composure.

“why.”

yes, for now.

I may not remember, but I admitted that I belonged to the same Ouroboros as her.

“Why did you, who belonged to Ouroboros, stand on the side of the hero?”

He snorted and answered the natural question that came from him.

“I’m not on my side, I’m just infiltrating.”

“Yes, that is understandable. I too have been infiltrating society after the organization collapsed.”

Sometimes they blend in between them, playing civilians, and sometimes they cooperate with heroes.

Secretly hiding among them was something that sisters and sisters had been doing even when they were in the organization.

“But even that is a line of camouflage. You don’t have to be involved in a quest to save them yourself.”

So it must be doubtful.

What was the reason for hindering his execution?

Why did the self-proclaimed villain stop him from trying to kill the enemy as a threat in the future?

“I’m just asking, just in case… … .”

But I didn’t want her to ask.

Even after leaving the organization.

Still, I wanted her to retain the ideology of the enemy who had been in that organization.

“Are you in love with the heroine?”

One word right now is enough to realize that it is a vain wish.

“Put the bullshit away.”

Biting her teeth, she immediately answered her words.

I have no feelings at all… … .

Saying that would be a lie.

If you say it’s hateful, you can say it’s affection, and actually, there were a few times when I lived as a villain and paid homage to some of the heroes.

“Do you know that I’m just doing things like this?”

But never ever.

At least because of his affection, I never forgot what I was supposed to do or betrayed the power I belonged to.

Protect the boss and rebuild the new organization starting from that person.

For me, who has such ambition, it’s just a trivial thing that I can throw away all my feelings.

“He is my prey.”

No, on the contrary, don’t even use it.

I will use that feeling of licorice to induce her growth and achieve what I want.

“It’s the guy I was saving to defeat him when he became the best. You are not the one who has already lost faith as an organization!!”

In the yard that had a foothold for it, this guy was about to ignite my plan.

It was also a subject that had risen to a higher place than me.

“You knock her down? Are you the one who was suppressed because you couldn’t stand this level of battle?”

“Even if you don’t, you should. Because we have always been!”

In the first place, Ouroboros are not a slaughter corps or a terrorist corps, but a syndicate. A group that has come together to overthrow the government on this damn continent.

erroneous system in society. Reckless fanaticism toward idols, the dark side of society that ignores them by burying them… … .

Ouroboros is a group of writers who hated such a society, suffered damage, and felt disillusioned with the human species itself.

But putting those feelings into action only repeats a vicious cycle.

“Because it has become a common evil and no one can eat it, so we didn’t do our best to destroy hope, did we?”

So, the stronger the opponent, the stronger you should be.

More people cling to it, and there is an opportunity to shatter the hopes of those who cling to it.

It is to break the hope that soars to the sky, spread despair and fear, and declare to those who have lost their way.

Come on, look. What you claimed to be so right is so futilely broken.

People like us were born because they served such wrongful justice.

“If you follow that ideology, you shouldn’t have aimed your sword at him.”

The ‘aesthetics’ that was created in that way was the reason why Ouroboros was able to form solidarity.

That’s why they became stronger than anyone else, and that’s why they were able to relax as a strong person.

“But now when I see you doing that… … . Yep, you’re probably only going to end up like that. The laid-back attitude you showed was only possible because there was an organization behind it.”

Was that will light enough to throw away just by leaving the organization?

Is it okay for a writer who has more power than me to throw away that attitude so lightly?

“You are weak, Seolhwaran.”

No, it can’t be.

Calm down even after she left the organization.

“Do you think you will be able to achieve your desired ‘revenge’ in such a state?”

If you’re still pursuing the reason she was oriented towards evil, which I told you.

-Pudder.

okay.

At this moment, the sound that comes from underneath that mask is probably possible because she has not forgotten that idea.

Because that kind of heart remains, at this moment right now, he doesn’t kill me with a single knife.

Even I, who was only a pawn, had not changed my loyalty to him, so there is no way that this guy who served me closer to him doesn’t exist.

“… … You.”

After she had calmed down her anger, she quietly turned her back on me.

“You, like me, have received his protection.”

Leaving words that only those affected by ‘his power’ could understand.

– Slurry.

As soon as he swung the sword he held in his hand, the ice wall that filled the surroundings began to crumble.

The shards spread in all directions along with the cold wind and a blizzard raging.

As I lost my mind in the white night that filled my vision again, I felt the cold air that binds my body slowly weakening.

and… … .

“uncle Uncle!!!”

When I woke up, it was Kana, not Seolhwaran, that came into my sight.

She grabs my body and shakes me violently.

“Calm down!! mister!!”

Yes, fortunately, he left without doing anything.

Just by realizing that, I could feel my body draining of strength and losing my mind.

Is the cold that erodes my body eating away at this moment?

But even as his body was broken and he lost consciousness, his face could not be erased from his mind.

‘Yoonseol Lee, what are you doing?’

I can’t get it to come out of my mouth.

As I repeat only those questions in my mind, and bury them like that… … .
