The villain's ending is only death 63
A chilling aura emanated from the Crown Prince.
âIt seems that the title of war hero isnât just a name after all.â
He darted out as swiftly as when he dispatched monsters, ready to sweep away the group in black in one go.
I knew he was crazy, but he seemed even more dangerous and formidable than I thought.
With a somewhat complicated gaze, I quietly observed his actions.
âYouâll be the one to get sliced up!â
At that moment, the man in black, for some inexplicable reason, sneered viciously.
âKee kee, look behind you!â
As the man pointed, a sickening sound echoed.
âWhat, what is thatâŠ!â
Someone screamed in shock.
At the sound, everyone in the hall turned their gaze to where the man in black was pointing.
Squish. The monster, which had been split from the eyes to the head, was now tearing itself apart.
After a while, the monster, which had a sticky body, finally separated completely.
Two monsters had been created.
âIsnât it wonderful, this beautiful life force bestowed by the gods!â
The man in black chuckled, looking at the shocked people.
âNo matter how many times you cut, itâs useless! They will just keep multiplying!â
âIâve never seen such monsters in my lifeâŠ!â
People who had been relieved when the Crown Prince dispatched the monster now screamed and panicked again.
People crowded the only entrance.
However, no one could escape outside.
As if blocked by an invisible barrier, people who tried to rush out were continuously bounced back.
Moreover, the dense hedge walls surrounding the garden on all sides were tall and slippery, making it extremely rare for anyone to climb over.
Meanwhile, the two monsters began to chase the fleeing people.
The giant chicken feet trampled the soft lawn again and ran.
I saw Leonard running over, his neck veins bulging, shouting at me as he chased the monster.
Behind him, Derek and Calisto, who had been dealing with the monsters, turned to look at me with pale faces.
All of this passed by in slow motion, slowly unfolding.
At that moment, the scene before me suddenly brightened.
ăSYSTEMă ~Main Quest: Become the Queen of the Hunt~
[First. Save the people around you from danger] Do you want to proceed with this quest?
(Reward: +5% Affection from all male protagonists, +50 Reputation.)
The quest window that I had declined once before appeared again.
I burst out laughing, feeling utterly ridiculous.
âIn the end, it had to come to this.â
Just as I thought cynically, new text appeared.
ăSYSTEMă As this is a main quest, it will be automatically accepted in 5 seconds.
Even when playing the game, the main quests had a bit ofćŒșć¶æ§ to advance the episode.
But to experience this in reality made me feel indescribably dirty.
If this were just a game and I were playing it from behind the screen, accepting the quest would have ended with a simple notification: âAll monsters have been eliminated!â
The simulation game, which progressed through illustrated scenes and dialogue choices, had limitations in implementing such intense movements.
However, I must reiterate, this was not a game screen but reality. Reality.
The monster was right in front of me, and all the reward targets were watching me.
I barely accepted the quest just before the monster trampled me.
And at the same moment, my body moved on its own.
My right hand pulled the crossbow from behind my back at an incredible speed.
After bracing the tiller with my left hand, I immediately pulled the trigger.
There was a sound of something hitting the hard, ridged sole of the monsterâs foot.
The monster, which had been about to step on me, instantly fell backward and convulsed.
Before long, the monster lay limp.
Moreover, its opaque, rubbery body began to melt like ice cream.
âWhat, what is this! What is that!â
The group in black was shaken by the sight of the fallen monster.
Not only them, but everyone, including the male protagonists, seemed to forget the urgent situation and stared at me in confusion.
Of course, I was the most shocked.
In the midst of the chaos, I had completely forgotten that I was carrying a crossbow.
âE⊠Ecarte Lady⊠killed the monsterâŠâ
As shock slowly spread among everyoneâs eyes.
Whish. My body moved again, definitely not by my will.
I turned my body sharply and aimed the crossbow again, this time kneeling on one knee. Then,
Click, bang! Bang, bang! Twang!
How long did I shoot the crossbow like a madman?
With the last two monsters that were charging at me, I eliminated all the monsters.
It seemed they hadnât multiplied as much as I thought.
Moreover, each one was large, making it easier to hit them.
Breathing heavily, I lowered the crossbow I was holding.
My arms were trembling uncontrollably.
âI couldnât even hold it properly during practiceâŠâ
Holding it for such a long time felt like I was about to die.
âIs this a quest? Itâs torture.â
I swallowed the tears that were welling up and looked around.
The ballroom was now enveloped in a chilling silence.
Everyone was staring at me with dazed expressions, even the remnants of the Divine Kingdom who had committed all these atrocities.
âHaha. Iâve become the superstar chimpanzee again this year.â
I laughed in resignation. The sound of my forced laughter made people shudder. Then,
The sound of someone clapping came from somewhere.
Clap, clap, clap⊠This led to a thunderous applause.
âOh my, Lady Ecarte saved us!â
âOh, my gods! Without Lady, we would have reallyâŠ!â
âTruly grateful, Lady! You are our savior!â
The cheers left me speechless. At that moment,
ăSYSTEMă ~Main Quest: Become the Queen of the Hunt~
[First. Save the people around you from danger] Quest successful!
ăSYSTEMă You have received the rewards: [All male protagonistsâ affection +5%], [Reputation +50].
My reputation, which I didnât really need, skyrocketed.
âOh. It would be nice if they gave affection like this.â
However, the reward of [5% affection from all male protagonists] wasnât bad for all the hard work I had put in.
Especially since the Crown Prince, who was in the most danger, was now much farther from death.
Although I was exhausted from being controlled by the system, this was quite generous.
Amid the crowd that had gathered around me, the white text floating above the heads of the male protagonists was clearly visible.
Starting with Leonard, who had run the closest.
[Affection 30%], [Affection 9%]
Unlike the extras who praised me profusely, the male protagonists just stared at me blankly, hesitant to approach.
ââŠIf the female protagonist had done this in normal mode, their eyes would have turned into hearts and they would have run straight over.â
Thinking about it, not only the nominal brothers but none of the male protagonists had tried to protect me.
But I didnât feel particularly hurt or drained.
I already had a male protagonist who was determined to be my all.
