I'M A Villains In My Second Life
Chapter 227's

The robed men still faithfully followed Leathina, Edward, Troy and Nina. Every time they rest or continue their journey they do the same but carefully and remain vigilant so as not to be suspected.

“What are they stupid?” Said Nina who was sitting in the shade under a shady tree while opening the lid of her drinking water bottle.

“Leave it alone, later also appears alone.” Reply Troy who immediately grabbed the water bottle held by Nina and opened the bottle cap.

“I'm not that weak, the bottle I can open myself.” Nina flinches and tries to get the water bottle from Troy again, but Troy dodges.

 “The water is up.” Troy muttered as he turned the bottle he was holding showing Nina.

“Resigned yes?” nina. “Find the bottle I'll find the nearest water source.” He said as he moved from his resting place.

“I'll take Air.” Troy stands up and encourages Nina to sit down.

“Cautious.” Nina said as she waved her hand and sat back down, she looked around her for a moment then leaned against the tree where she was sheltering.

Troy nodded then walked into the forest then disappeared inside the forest.

…

“Be prepared!” Said one of the robed men when they saw one of the men who had been following for days into the forest and left his own companion.

“It looks like the man who always stick with him it went looking for water.”

“Iya, quickly catch the girl before her partner Back!”

They then walked like any other road user, most adventurers who go through the route that enters the forest or passes through the valley so it is common to meet with travelers or people who travel cross paths in the forest because their route is like that's.

Those who initially walked leisurely then grew more cautious When they had approached their target, occasionally they glanced all over the direction, be on the lookout if you suddenly cross paths with someone else or if the man who left suddenly returns.

Slowly but surely they began to form and surround the target, a woman who was still sitting quietly with her face covered in her cloak to ward off the sunlight so as not to dazzle her eyes while resting.

“It looks like this woman slept with nyenayak.” Said one of the robed men while crouching down and trying to peer over the cloak that covered the face of his target.

“Tak!”

“Akh!”

Just as he was about to peek at the face behind the cloak of his target still leaning on the branch of the phoenix suddenly a fist landed right on his face making him bounce back and groan in pain.

“Damn it!” His leg then immediately stood up while covering his nose that was bleeding due to the crushing blow he received on his face.

“Catch fast before blurring!” the other said then nimbly holding the wrist and shoulder of the target, they also pulled the cloak that covered the face and head that had still covered the face of the person they had surrounded.

“He is?” asked the others while puzzled looking at the woman he had caught.

“It seems to be right, her hair is red but is her face really like this from the beginning?” the others answered while reaching out to him and took out a picture of a red-haired woman with a small face in the picture they were holding.

“It's right, the picture is tangled and exposed to water so it's not clear like that.” Said another colleague. “Come quickly tie his hands and make him faint.”

The woman they surrounded peeked at the picture they saw and then furrowed her eyebrows as if she did not like the picture she saw.

“This damn woman, how dare you break my nose!” Said the person who had been hit on his face, with a growl he approached with difficulty while holding his nose which still continued to bleed.

“Probable.” Murmured his interlocutor while spitting.

Furious he looked at the woman who had hit him in the face until his nose was broken, then raised his hand high wanting to retaliate with a punch as well.

The woman did not care so much about the man whose nose was broken because of his punch, her eyes instead focused on seeing the color of her hair that slowly changed color and no longer red.

“Ups! I think Mr. Ed's shape-shifting magic has arrived in time.” Mumbled. “What is Troy the muscle brain is still taking water long yah?” he said slowly again.

“Damn it! We cheated!” screeched at the person who surrounded him in a high voice.

“Who are you fucking!” shouted the man whose nose was still spitting out blood as he blew his punch.

“Akh, dammit!” muttered Nina annoyed.

Slyly Nina dodged the punch directed at her swapping it for a kick making the person she kicked flung backwards a few meters after which kicking her sword until it bounced towards her and nimbly catching her then directing his sword was about to cut off the hands of the people who had been restraining him but unfortunately they were also no less agile than Nina and were able to dodge.

“Sial, who is this woman?” said one of the robed men while pulling his sword from the sheath hanging on his waist.

“We were deceived, I remember clearly they came out five later at the time at the border gate their village seemed to split up leaving only this woman and the big man who had gone to take the water.”

“Fuck, where's that redhead?” he asked his emotions and immediately put up the horses to slash at Nina.  “If you answer honestly then you will we release and if not we have no choice but to kill you Miss.” He said with a smile that belittled Nina.

“That's a pity gentlemen, it looks like I'm going to let you guys down.” Nina said with a smile that was also condescending.

“Quickly Reply!”

“Don't expect much Miss, we won't let you go even if you're a girl.” shouted the others impatiently.

“I don't know who you mean, oh! I wonder where you got that ugly picture, the person you're looking for is ten. Which organization are you from? Why so stupid? Being ordered to follow and arrest one woman is wrong, are you guys from the assassin organization? Uh! Now there are many organizations that are losers all I'm lucky I didn't join them.” Nina's scornful speech made her opponent's emotions boil even more with that remark.

“Damn it! you don't seem to know your situation right now huh?!”

Quickly one of the robed men came forward attacking Nina, Nina who deliberately provoked their emotions was also no less agile with nimble she could avoid attacks and counter-attack several times until finally there was a fight between herself and several people at once.

Unfortunately fighting with several people at once made Nina a little overwhelmed as they turned out not to fight as they should, her opponents used some cunning tricks to attack her. One of them has a unique skill that is to use drugs and make it poison that he put on their swords so that Nina must be extra careful not to be exposed to poison from their attacks.

One of Nina's fingers that accidentally scratched their sword while fighting began to feel numb then numb slowly from where Nina knew that the swords they used had been drenched in poison.

“Job!” Nina said indignantly then no longer resisted and began to attack seriously until finally able to move freely because the remaining enemy one person who was still able to fight the other had lost consciousness due to injury powerful and exposed to poison from her own sword as Nina snatched one of their swords and used it to counterattack.

Nina smiled mockingly but remained vigilant and did not underestimate her opponent, as making the slightest mistake of her life could be lost at any time. Moreover, he did not know what other tricks his opponent would use, but Nina knew one thing for sure her opponent had not given up and had other preparations seen from the way he held the sword which was still stable and did not panic at all even though his comrades had fallen and only he himself survives.

“Heh? Not even the base of the know.” Reply Nina.

“You are indeed great Miss, although exposed to poison you can still survive until now. But it's a pity that you will still die today, ohiya your male friend might as well be dead somewhere now.” He said while chuckling softly. “You must know what I mean, right?” he said it again while looking around.

“They still have a plot around here.” Mumbled Nina slowly by increasing her vigilance. “and the plot must be a reliable archer who is hiding or a poison user again, , seeing from his confidence is still high even if only he is left who still stands.”

Nina degan watchfully watched her surroundings carefully, trying to find out and guess where the enemy was hiding once in a while Nina glanced up presumably if they hid in the tree and watched him waiting for the order to attack him.

“Akh!”

“Sound screams? Did I hear wrong?” Nina's mind as I sneered heard the sound of screeching from a distance.

Hearing that Nina Back listened to hope that what she heard was not her hallucination but ternya Nina Back heard even though only briefly and slowly.

Knowing that Nina smiled as she looked at the man in front of her with a scornful look.

“Bare to bet?” Tanya Nina was happy.

“You always think positive huh? People who are on the verge of death do always have a high life expectancy even though clearly he will die, well I bet you will die now Miss.” His words then whistled as if giving a code.

Nina waited, but nothing happened to her. There was no arrow attack that landed on him nor any poisonous bomb.

“Maybe your shit is less loud sir, so don't hear your other colleagues.” Nina purposefully sneered, making her opponent's face red with anger mixed with embarrassment.

“Where were your words that you said confidently earlier Mr in robes?” nina asked with a sweet smile, deliberately teasing her opponent.

“Siuttt!” He whistled again but nothing happened.

“Siuttt!”

“Siuttttttt!”

Several times he tried to whistle but still nothing happened making him really angry.

“Foot the arrows jerk!” He shouted furiously until his voice echoed in the forest and heard his reflection several times.

There was no answer at all, no arrows were gliding just a few birds that suddenly flew in unison into the air.

“Sial.” said with emotion, then looked at Nina with a look of hatred.

Knowing the situation was no longer lucky he slowly walked back away from Nina then when he got the right situation he quickly ran into the forest as fast as he could.

“Sial, my energy is up. I can't catch up with that cocky-ass.” Nina grumbled then sat leaning against a tree branch while several times swinging her hands that were beginning to numb and felt radiating into her arms.

“That stupid son of a bitch really used poison on his sword, Shit! Though I only scratched a little but my hand can hardly be moved.”

“Srek!”

Nina tore off her sleeves as she saw her palms begin to turn blue to her arms, as she tried to move them she had felt nothing from the palms to the arms.

“It will spread to the whole body, I have to find the antidote.” Nina muttered, but was too tired to search the corpses of the people she was fighting and finally she just chose to sit and lean on the tree trying not to move to inhibit the spread of poison in her body.

“Aaaaa!”

“Akh!”

“Trak!”

The sound of a shrill scream from inside the forest was then followed by the sound of screeching of someone who was holding back pain and lastly the sound of cracks that sounded vaguely in Nina's ears after that there was no more sound from in forest.

“I hope Troy is okay.” Nina muttered softly as she closed her eyes slowly trying to fall asleep.

“Srek!”

“Tak!”

“Tak!”

After a moment of silence came back again the sound of heavy objects being dragged and then there was also the sound of footsteps slowly approaching where Nina was resting.

Nina who knew very well that must be the person and the person was now walking towards her immediately on guard, holding the sword in her hand tightly while staring at a point in front of her, find something that will come out of there.

“Trak!”

Nothing was seen but then the human body was thrown in front of Nina and was no longer moving.

“People who escaped earlier.” Nina muttered while watching the corpse in front of her.

After that Troy came out while looking around him who also lay some bodies that are not moving anymore.

“So you also attacked him?” He muttered then his eyes looked for Nina's whereabouts.

“Nina!” his screeches panicked When he saw Nina's pale face and leaned under the tree while holding her sword firmly.

“HAH! Next you are Troy.” Said Nina sighing in relief knowing that the coming one turned out to be Troy, Nina then released her sword and Back leaning with about.

“Nina what happened, why is your face pale and your arms turn blue like this? It's bad.” Troy asked worriedly and checked the rest of Nina's body to confirm Nina's condition.

“Oh! I was exposed to poison, they used sneaky tricks and I was exposed to the poison.” Nina replied while looking at her hand that was still turning blue.
