This Villain is Soft - Chapter 131

Episode 131

Taang─.

Clang!

The bottle broke when Juyeol shot it and the potion spilled, but Bae Anjae had already drunk more than half of the bottle.

“Tsk.”

What happens when an Awakened person drinks a potion can be figured out by thinking about Q’s words.

So what happens if a magician with open mana circuits in his body drinks a potion?

What if the blood of the Awakened who drank the potion was used as fuel for the dimensional gate?

Even Haon couldn’t guess that.

The dimensional gate that had been operating by consuming the blood of countless people now indiscriminately absorbed Bae An-jae’s blood as if it had finally found the most delicious prey.

It already looked more like a ravenous vampire than a machine.

As it was connected to the dimensional gate, Bae An-jae was also directly affected by dark energy, clutching his heart and suffering.

“The shield is broken, so can’t we just shoot that machine?”

When Ju-yeol sensed an unidentified sense of uneasiness and aimed his gun at the dimensional gate, Ha-on quickly stopped him.

“Oh, no! If that thing explodes, it’ll be like a nuclear bomb going off.”

“What, like a nuclear bomb?”

“It could be more than that. We need to remove the dark energy from the core first and then shut down the machine normally.”

The hunter who was raising his crossbow also stopped at those words. It seemed like he was thinking the same thing as Juyeol.

Haon sent Mana Tan flying through the hose connecting the dimensional gate and Bae Anjae’s arm.

However, Bae An-jae blocked the mana bullet with a mana shield that was thicker than before, even though he was in pain.

It wasn’t the same shield pattern he had been using just a moment ago.

“Bae An-jae! Stop it now. Are you planning to die here? You don’t have to do that!”

“If you don’t kill me? What are you going to do?”

Haon hesitated and answered while watching Juyeol’s expression.

“I’m going back to where I brought you.”

“Go back? Go back to the universe where the war happened?”

“Yes. You will be tried there. Along with the other terrorists.”

“… … .”

Bae An-jae was shocked as if he had heard a shocking sound.

In the meantime, Haon approached the dimensional gate and reached out to the core. He glanced at Bae An-jae warily, but he was still standing there blankly.

And the moment my fingertips touched the tube containing dark energy, my wrist was grabbed by a vicious hand.

“… … !”

“Haon-ah!”

Bullets and crossbows flew towards where Bae An-jae was standing, along with Ju-yeol’s shout.

As soon as Ju-yeol and Hunter realized that Bae An-jae was moving towards Ha-on, they pulled the trigger, but there was already no one there.

It wasn’t like Haon had done several times, changing the floor into waves or something.

Bae An-jae’s eyes, which had been moving at an incredible speed and catching Ha-on, were covered in black.

“You’re not in your right mind. Where are you going?”

“Hey, let go of this!”

Haon fired his Mana Tan, but he attacked at a speed that was barely visible to the eye and pushed back.

“Look around with that smart head of yours! A magician can become the greatest in this universe!”

The tips of Bae An-jae’s fingers and hair glowed dark blue. The potion mixed with Halo’s blood had completely permeated his mana circuits.

The black pillar of energy that fueled him was thinner than before, but it was emitting a much clearer light.

“Here, you can become a unique god, not just a common magician. What? Go back?”

He threw Ha-on, who was struggling to shake off his hand, with a furious expression on his face.

“Ugh─.”

“I X… … !”

Juyeol, who had stuck out his neck, supported Haon while rolling curses in his mouth.

Bae An-jae continued to supply his blood to the dimensional gate, sending away those who tried to approach him with Mana Tan.

“Is that really the reason you started the war? Because you wanted to monopolize the mana core and become different from the common magic engineers?”

When Ha-on, who got up after shaking off his aching wrist, asked with an expression of disbelief, Bae An-jae let out a hollow laugh.

“I thought you wouldn’t understand. You would have been treated as a genius anyway, so you probably didn’t have any desire for a special life.”

“… … There’s nothing special about plundering because you’re greedy. You’re just a common bad guy.”

Haon continued, pointing to the villains lying on the floor.

“You are just another common bad guy, no different from those villains.”

“It’s definitely different from those. In the sense that I can do this.”

Bae An-jae tightened the hose on his arm and swung the mana that was turning increasingly black.

Then the gang members who were showing signs of potion addiction stood up with bizarre gestures.

The mana remaining in their bodies moved according to Bae An-jae’s orders.

“Again? This is driving me crazy.”

“If this continues, there’s no use killing him.”

The heroes and special agents looked around warily.

Haon felt like he was trapped in a horror movie when he saw the villain staggering up despite having a broken leg.

“Dudu! What about the nullification patch?”

[Cartridges are all used up.]

[No spare cartridges.]

Haon’s face turned pale with defeat.

Meanwhile, Bae An-jae hit a dark blue wall in front of the dimensional gate and drank another bottle of potion.

With that appearance, the appearance of Bae An Jae was obscured by a hazy mist beyond the wall.

When Haon was hesitating as to which of him and the gang members he should deal with first, Hunter said:

“Galaxy On. You focus on him. Leave these zombie-like things to us.”

“… … !”

Haon looked around at the people ready to fight the zombie gang members and felt reassured.

As I thought of the countless comrades I had fought with, I felt a strong desire to end the war with Bae An Jae right here and now.

“Yes, I will. Leave the Bae An Jae to me.”

The Hunter nodded once at the resolute words and began to sweep away the villains, leading the heroes and special agents.

“Damn. I couldn’t do anything, either dodge or block, it was too fast.”

Joo-yeol, who was shooting his gun to cut off the hose attached to Bae An-jae’s arm, nervously replaced the magazine.

“It will probably take some time to completely break down the shield, so I’ll open it up briefly to let you through.”

As soon as Ha-on opened a gap in the dark blue protective shield, he grabbed Ju-yeol’s hand and ran.

“Now is the time!”

Thwaaa …

But Haon was the only one who passed through the shield.

“Ugh, what is it?”

The column clearly had a changed structure and could not enter the open gap and collided.

“Huh? Why, why are you doing this?”

Haon was confused and looked closely at the shield, and discovered that it was different from any shield he had ever seen before.

A mesh of black energy woven together. It was a protective barrier mixed with dark energy rather than mana.

‘You can only pass through if you have a mana circuit inside your body… …!’

When Ha-on raised his head with a fearful expression, Ju-yeol’s face hardened.

“You’re the only one? Are you the only one who can go in?”

After hearing it from his own mouth, Ha-on suddenly felt scared. Bae An-jae was alone, and so was I.

Leaving the people I was fighting with outside the walls, I was left alone… … .

“Haon-ah. Come out for a moment. It could be a trap.”

At Juyeol’s urgent words, Haon stretched out his arm outside the protective barrier and grabbed his hand.

The trembling hands were small and thin.

Joo-yeol asked, suppressing his anxious feelings.

“scared?”

“… … Yeah.”

He grabbed Haon’s hand tightly. He wanted to pull his hand out of the shield.

If you’re scared, I wanted to say let’s stay here and wait for the next opportunity.

But the Eunha On I know would not be someone who could do that. I thought that and asked.

“What do you want to do?”

Haon, who had been hesitating, opened his mouth.

“… … I just want to be scared. I can’t turn away from this moment because I’m scared.”

Joo-yeol smiled bitterly as if he knew this would happen.

“I’ll be here. I’ll be the first one you see when the wall comes down and you come out of there.”

“If it’s dangerous, you can go somewhere else.”

“I won’t run away either.”

At those words, Haon opened his eyes wide and smiled slightly.

“That’s right. Joo-yeol, you’ve never run away.”

“Get back safely and as quickly as possible.”

“Okay. I’ll be back.”

Haon nodded with a slightly tearful face.

Even though I turned around and watched him disappear into the fog, his clear, shining eyes and fierce sense of justice left an afterimage.

The soft sensation left on Joo-yeol’s fingertips tickled his chest.

‘Galaxy On… … .’

At that moment, the existence of the Milky Way felt mysterious to Cosmic Heat.

Even though he crash-lands in an unfamiliar universe and cries out in fear every chance he gets, he never turns a blind eye to the world.

It’s about crying and not stopping until the very end.

There is always fighting spirit in those tearful eyes.

She was more mysterious than things like dark energy and dimensional travel.

Joo-yeol felt his heart pounding in an unsuitable manner for the situation.

‘My hero.’

The galaxy that crossed the dimension was wondrous and beautiful.
