System: Hunter Villain
Episode 22: Arriving in Krest City

Currently Yue Bing was injured as she took on an escort mission from the association. And the one who made her hurt was a woman wearing one eye patch on her right eye.

The blond hair with her red left eye made her look charismatic. With the gripping aura he exuded, it was impossible to call him the Sovereign.

"You again." Said Yue bing seeing the figure of a woman holding a bow earlier behind him, holding a dagger with a grin.

Throwing the dagger into the air, the woman said, "The blue sword isn't the crystal rose sword belonging to the vice guild Ambassador, how did you get it?"

Picking his tongue, Yue Bing forced her hand to point her sword towards the woman. Stammering, he replied, "That's none of your business."

"Haha... Son, you're very attractive." The woman's laughter greatly irritated Yue Bing.

After the woman laughed, she darted forward flinging her dagger towards Yue Bing's neck. The movements that the woman showed were like CQCs belonging to experienced military soldiers.

All of those dagger attacks should have been avoided quite easily, but Yue Bing felt that her sight was getting blurry for longer.

Yue Bing involuntarily muttered, "What was the arrow just now poisonous?!"

Still attacking and cornering Yue Bing, the woman replied, "Right. Poison of the plant-type Ligot, Mandragora. It was so poisonous that it could eliminate some of one's five senses."

So many movements that Yue Bing made were extremely futile and wasted energy. That was because dodging the attack from the woman was very difficult when her gaze started to blur.

With his ears starting to be unable to hear, it put him in a very unfavorable situation. Repulsed, Yue Bing stuck her sword on the ground and bent her knees.

"What should I do?" He murmured with his eyes that were beginning to darken.

At such critical moments, suddenly a voice that he was very familiar with gave him a suggestion.

[Recommended host to use the "Darkness Domain" skill]

"But if I leave the fight, what about Ming Yae?" He said by looking at Ming Yae who fought in the crowd of Hunters and bandits.

Yue Bing could have escaped to the other side of the world, but that would have made her leave Ming Yae alone here. Although Yue Bing became a Villain, but the heart of a hero was still quite attached to her soul.

[...]

[If so, the host could try to activate "Demon Lord Eye".]

In response to the suggestion the system made to him, he was surprised and repeated the system's words by asking, "Demon Lord Eye?"

[The Demon Lord Eye will allow the host to neutralize the poison currently present in the host's body.]

"Where did I get that skill? And also why didn't you say of... All right, I understand what you're answering."

Trying to stand up straight, Yue Bing slowly muttered, "Demon Lord Eye."

His eyes, which had been blackening, had now turned blood red. Even if it was in the dark, those eyes would look extremely frightening.

Seeing that Yue Bing's eyes had turned red, the woman jumped back and felt a bad premonition as she said, "That red eye... Who the hell is he?"

Screaming in fear, the woman's eyes looked surprised by what she saw in front of her. Those eyes were just like the humanoid Ligot eyes he had fought against in the purple portal in the city of P.

Accompanied with a red aura spreading around him, made many people faint around him. All that was left was the woman, and Ming Yae who could still come to her senses.

"K-sister Ren..."

"Mu-impossible." The woman shuddered and fell to the ground suddenly upon seeing the gripping aura she used to feel.

"Ra-king...Ib-"

"Accels."

Not finishing the sentence he was about to say, a flash of sword seemed to slash his neck. In the next instant, the woman fell to the ground covered in blood.

With a flick of his sword to clear the blood that was sticking, Yue Bing then sheathed back her sword.

"Haw..." Sighing softly, he then fell to the ground from exhaustion. After Yue Bing fainted, the system notification came out quickly.

[Killing a Villain candidate.]

[Getting +50 Villain points.]

[Achievement of "First Blood" is obtained.]

[Open the Key to the Fight "System Swap".]

"Sir Ren, promise me. When we grow up, we'll...."

"Who is that? What are you saying?" Yue Bing asked to see a picture of Ren Ashfall's memory as a child holding hands with a girl.

Opening her eyes, Yue Bing looked at the two twin mountains she had seen first as she exited the Goblin Cave Village portal.

"What this is called De Javu." He muttered as he woke up from the same lap pillow he remembered last time.

"Oh, brother Ren. Are you awake?" A voice sounded behind Yue Bing as she woke up.

With a wry smile, Yue Bing replied, "Yes. Thank you, Ming Yae."

Ming Yae replied back with a smile. He took out a bottle of drinking water and gave it to Yue Bing.

He told me, when Yue Bing fainted, the rest of the bandits were captured and sent back to Yuqing city to be given to the association to be dealt with further.

During the journey, there were no more surprise attacks from the bandits. But the moment Yue Bing saw the information of her mission, it was written as unfinished.

Yue Bing then asked the system why the mission had not been completed, even though she had already defeated the bandits earlier.

[Host hasn't beaten them all. There should be two bandit groups that Host must defeat.]

"Two bandit groups?" By repeating the system's words, Yue Bing remembered that Xuan Jing had once said some information when she met him at the association.

'Sister Ren, be careful of the person with the scar in his left eye.' That's what he told Yue Bing.

"Left eye?" Given the appearance of the bandit lady he defeated, it was different from the description Xuan Jing had said.

The left eye of the woman had no scars or anything, but only her right eye was covered in cloth. Yue Bing also did not know it was a scar or as a mere accessory.

While thinking that, Yue Bing finally arrived at K city. From its outer appearance alone, it looked insufficiently protected. The cracked and hollow wall, it was quite bothering Yue Bing the moment she saw it.

"It looks like I'll have to kill a few more people if they don't give up." While muttering like that, he looked towards someone behind the shadow of the city wall who had always been paying attention to Yue Bing's entourage as they entered.
