I Became A Villain In A Novel
Seventy four

An hour later, the leader of the kako Sean managed to kill with his fire, Dave frowned a little to feel what the fire was, but he did not say much.

The other kako was easily defeated after seeing the leader die, Luther took something striking from inside the kako.

It was black at a glance like coal, but if noticed it glistened like a gem.

"This what?" Luther asked as he handed the stone to Sean who approached him, Sean observed the object closely, but he found no clues other than it glittered.

"Where did you get it?" Elios approaching. "Ah I got it from inside the body of one of the kako, I think it might be a very important object." Luther casually explained.

Not finding any clues, the object was carefully brought in for research, Liona felt that if the black object was very valuable, there was a familiar aura coming out from within it.

"Let's go, it'll be even more dangerous to stay here. The smell of blood will lure the other monsters out."

No longer wasting time, they rushed away from there, although tired and some people ran out of mana, but the journey continued, fortunately many healers and magic stones were always with them.

A night of speechlessness...

Because the sun had appeared in the eastern horizon, they decided to rest, because last night was very tired so they chose a large land to install the tent.

It wouldn't be too dangerous since the sun had risen, at most monsters would only observe them in the dark.

The monsters here usually don't attack at sunrise, that's new knowledge Dave explains, no one knows why.

"Ugh I'm so tired, can I sleep for a while?" Liona yawned, Sean nodded and escorted her into the tent, Sean patted her on the back so that Liona would sleep faster, she also went to lie on Liona's side.

"Just sleep, I'll wake you when something happens." Sean said softly, he kissed Liona on the forehead and kissed her lips.

After making sure Liona fell asleep Sean joined the others, they looked solemn while observing a completely complete map of the continent.

"You guys look serious, did something happen?" Sean sat down next to Arthur who was eating grilled corn.

"Do you know the area marked with this cross? I think it's closer to the desert than it is to the road we usually walk." Dave showed Sean the map.

Sean observed the sign while squinting, trying to recall something. "Indeed closer through there, but it's a forest of death, there are many dangers, even my subordinates who survived there's only one person."

They are silent, it looks closer but the risk is very high, Sean explained if in the forest of death there are swamps filled with poisonous gas, mud that can suck the vitality of living things to dry, and the, and so forth.

"Can we just go through there? It won't waste time." As usual, Jason proposed with an annoying cold face.

Although dangerous, they seemed to be thinking of a plan to leave by passing the red cross.

"We're going to be together there, do you know what your subordinates went through when they got out of there?" Elios glanced at Sean.

"He only explained the places there, not really explaining any situation, the subordinate immediately went crazy after saying those places, the doctors, were all crazy, the healer and the Alchemist concluded that he was exposed to a slow-moving poison."

"..."

Sean got up and went into the tent that Liona was sleeping in, despite getting deadly gazes from some people Sean didn't care at all, after all Liona would be his wife, if Alex and Xavier and Duke see this, make sure Sean's just a name.

Lying beside Liona, Sean hugged her and let Liona sink her face into the chest of her field, Sean kissed her head and whispered soft words.

"I love you."

The awakened Liona smiled feeling warm in her heart, she hugged Sean very tightly, her feelings could not be described, it was just that it was pleasant.

They rest a day to recover energy, tomorrow morning everyone has gathered, no one is bad luck because they have been really trained.

The men explained that they would cross the red cross to make the journey to the desert closer, no one refuted because they believed in their own abilities.

"Is it really that dangerous there." Liona glanced at Sean who was bribing him. "Yes, to save time. I'll protect you with my life, so you don't have to worry."

"..." - ".Not so Liona just asked, sometimes Sean is always excessive, he is not so weak that it must be protected with someone's life. "All right." Liona.

After breakfast, they boarded the horses, the women were not allowed to be behind the troops except those who had been trained.

Not to think of women as weak, just realistic, the manpower is greater than women, of course men have the obligation and responsibility to protect women.

"It turns out the road to the red cross is quieter than we thought." Leandro looked around, a bit strange actually but it was worth being grateful for.

Before leaving, they drank anti-poison potions from the Alchemists, protecting the body from too often coming into contact with air, wearing masks and also more covered clothes. It's a little hot, but it has to be done.

The atmosphere was getting gripping and cold, there were really no monsters there, the air was not so wearing either.

They all increased their alertness, even though there was no aura of a living being, yet they felt like they were watching something in the dark.

It made some people nervous, looking around there was only a forest so dark, when maybe it was still daytime, but the sun really did not penetrate through the cracks of the leaves.

They only relied on the flashlight-shaped magic tool to see the darkness, the horses also looked more cautious. Even Liona who had super clear vision, only saw endless darkness.

Clotsy.

Sean told the troops to stop by raising his fist, there was a voice heading towards them. The troops looked more alert, they were ready to attack at any time.

A white horse with colorful horns came over, its stature was gallant, and its face was extremely arrogant.

"Unicorns." Liona was choked up, it turned out that unicorns really existed and it was very beautiful.

"Smart humans, but I advise you not to walk through here. That's very dangerous!" Despite the snobbish Unicorn it suggested sincerely.
