chapter 1
end of the villain
A city in southern Mexico, in the region south of Oaxaca.
Like a city surrounded by mountains, which the Spanish invaders could not easily reach out to, the houses on the outskirts of Oaxaca are lined up along a high slope.

Most of them follow the European style of architecture, but the exterior walls painted in Central and South American colors catch the eye.
In the meantime.
On the other hand, I am on the ridge outside the gap in the city, and I have just come inside the sheer cliff and have just raised my head.
“… under.”
In the middle of a huge pupil.
Hundreds of steps have created a steep slope under your feet, and in front of you is a stone altar with a crushed shape.
Considering the faded shapes of the ancient warriors carved on the ceiling and walls, it was clear that they had come to the right place.
yes.
Finally, we’ve come this far.
Aztec ruins excavated in 1912.
I don’t know, but if I put the key I’ve been carrying around my waist into the altar, I’ll be rewarded for it.
However, if there is a problem… It must be the fact that there are always obstacles in the world.
Tadadak!
Beneath the ruins, beyond.
At the beginning of the stair landing, human footsteps resonate with burning torches.
If you are a hero, you will rush to the barrier that surrounds Wahakashi like a hero and stop the invasion of monsters.
Suddenly, the right shoulder hit by the pursuer’s [Crushing Ray] and the left thigh hit by a blunt weapon felt numb.
But in the end, I’ve achieved my goal, and the hounds who ran to build a reputation won’t get what they want.
I decided to stop dwelling on the lasting link of bad luck at this point.
clap-
Soon, immediately after approaching the altar.
The red bead with the snake wrapped around it, the ‘key’, fitted surprisingly well without needing to match the hole.
Before long, the vibrations from the stone altar spread throughout the pupils hundreds of meters in size.
While the pursuers show off their raucous voices, the snake embossed on the lower part of the ruins along the side of the stairs quickly climbs up to the top.
The warrior pattern engraved on the ceiling also turns its pupils and shoots a terrifying gaze as if it were alive.
Then-
nothing happened… … .
Yes.
Damn it, nothing more has changed.
The altar was still faded, and it looked like it was embracing the years.
The stone snakes and warriors, who had seemed alive for a moment, had stopped moving and were hardened as if they had nothing to give me.
So, after waiting and waiting… kept silent
Reality won’t change even if you express your heart that is seething with embarrassment and anger on the outside.
Was someone ahead of me?
Even if that wasn’t the case, in the end it was my own fault for hanging on to the absurd story like a rope.
And just in time, the tumor in the head also comes to blame with a strong headache.
When did you act as you please and did you have any regrets in your life?
It was right.
Tramps and city dwellers, rich and beggars, etc., have been killing people of all ranks, piracy targeting cargo ships and aid ships, and sometimes gathering savages to attack areas outside the city center beyond the barriers. Until.
But in reality, the worst of them was something he did when he was about twenty-six.
It was a miserable failure in subjugation of the highest-level monster, and he ran away to the vicinity of a nuclear power plant in Texas without knowing that he was following him.
Of course, I have my own story.
Because he had no choice but to kill people to survive outside the barrier.
In addition to this, the looting of the relief boat was because they needed medicines- and the attack on the city was to save the idiot from the punitive force.
As time goes by, it seems that in the end it is just an excuse.
Superlative monsters are companions, no.
If he was going to seek revenge for killing the idiots he was traveling with, and even more so if he failed- he should have volunteered on the spot.
Didn’t he survive pathetically and be named the ‘villain of the century’, and eventually get a tumor due to excessive use of his abilities?
But nonetheless… I still want to live.
Even if someone insults you for being cowardly and petty, saying that even if you’re born again, you’re not worthy of becoming a hero.
I didn’t want to die yet.
“You’re a bastard who wouldn’t mind killing you twice.”
Fortunately or unfortunately, around that time.
The time of self-reproach and worry quickly comes to an end due to the intervention of uninvited guests.
“… Kim Ji-hak.”
“It ends here.”
A total of eight trackers.
It is said that Kim Ji-hak, the representative hero of his motherland, is often entangled in evil ties, but other than that, his preparation for attack is also unusual.
From the leader of the pursuit squad, Nuare of Extinction.
Regina Rosanna, a second-class sorceress of British nationality, and Barbara Ballach, an elementalist of Polish nationality.
From the American tanker, the giant Gerard, to the Inner Mongolian spearman – Agima Jaya.
Among the heroes belonging to the Republic of Korea, the top-level talents who made the existence of Kim Ji-hak, who took the first place in the rankings, were full.
“… I couldn’t believe it, but they really came all over the place. If you’re a hero, shouldn’t you save the city in crisis first? There are thousands of Acher (level 9 monsters) alone.”
“Because human hands can’t stop everything. What’s more, the wolf got sick and became half-sized, but I can’t miss this opportunity. But, as expected, it was you who brought in the monster.”
“… … .”
Not like that.
I only used the 3rd ground wave to enter the city, and my talent was not about controlling monsters.
That said, it would be funny to make excuses like this, so I decided to leave minor misunderstandings as the ‘righteous’ writers.
The notoriety and fear accumulated in my name was nothing new, as I had grown in size by eating a lot of lies.
As for me, I was just satisfied with the fact that I had the time to recognize the surroundings of the 15-meter-wide altar and make a battle plan.
“space is narrow. Be careful. 20 minutes to further assistance. Therefore, it focuses on melee combat.”
“Jerk the.”
“… … .”
And soon after hearing the kind explanation from Noire, the leader of the pursuit team.
As if I were salty, I started the battle by activating my own abilities.
20 minutes to extra help?
Anyway, because of the tumor lodged in his brain, he doesn’t have the energy to maintain his abilities for that long.
So, if you were not going to accept death meekly, you had to end it before that.
* * *
The end of a short battle that lasted at most 10 minutes.
The leader of the pursuit squad, Noire of Extinction.
No, Philippe Noire, a first-class hero with Dutch nationality and ranked 13th by the International Association of Specialized Persons, instinctively stroked my neck.
On the solid line drawn on the skin, drops of red blood were babbling.
This is the aftermath of [Disposition], a unique ability that caused a villain to be called the Wolf King, and it was easy to guess why even the top-ranked heroes did not subdue the Wolf King.
Because [Discipline] was a technique that designated a single target and decapitated it, ignoring all personal equipment and defensive abilities.
Of course, it would not be possible to use this level of ability like breathing without any cost, but the fact that there will always be deaths.

More than anything, I felt truly terrified that Philippe Noire himself had almost become the victim.
‘Compared to when he was in his prime, he said he’s only half the price.’
In fact, the left forearm of the giant Gerard was in the process of being torn as if it would break at any moment, and Barbara Ballach also lost the link with the high-ranking spirit.
Looking at him losing his mind and only lifting his whites, it seems that the name Wolf King has not risen to the top of the unofficial rankings for nothing.
But no matter what, the heroes… no.
To be precise, the tumor embedded in the Wolf King’s head won the final victory, so the villain must face a villainous end.
Altar On the other hand, he fell unconscious and was in a situation awaiting disposal.
“… It would have been a big deal. But boss, I need to get out quickly. I don’t think the ceiling will last long.”
“… … .”
“… Philip.”
“… Yes, it is.”
Soon, the leader of the punitive force, Philippe Noir, couldn’t help but recall that the ruins were threatening to collapse and that secret agreements between countries had to be carried out.
Trying to catch up, I called Kim Ji-hak’s name and turned away.
Because the Wolf King had to be killed by a Korean hero.
“Kim, you do what you have to do. The rest of us are preparing to leave as quickly as possible with the wounded. Since the southern front has been breached, we must withdraw from Oaxaca within 40 minutes.”
“Forty minutes?”
In the midst of this, the mage who gradually relaxed – Rehina threw a counter-question, and the spearman who was taking care of the injured naturally responded.
“There are thousands of Acher (level 9 monsters) alone. By now, the barriers outside Oaxaca should be half torn down. What’s more, it’s not even the US mainland… From the association’s point of view, they will think that it can be restored next summer.”
“is it?”
“My predictions are not wrong. If the size of the group is different, there will be middle and upper rank monsters mixed in, so what kind of human would step out without military support?”
In the meantime, Kim Ji-hak takes out a portable drone, checks the recording status, and drags the limp body of the Wolf King toward the stairs.
I should have killed him with my own hands, but it was impossible to kneel down because there were no hawks all over the body, and it was because the picture was not good to proceed while lying on the ground.
And not long after that, after he revealed the wolf king’s identity – terrorism, civilian killings, murder of people with special powers, etc.
After listing the major crimes, he drew his sword without hesitation.
Fu-wook!
Soon, so easily.
barrel, barrel, barrel.
The head of a villain who dominated an era rolls down the stairs.
Gradually smeared with faint blood, one square, two squares, and then to the bottom of the altar, to the circular sculpture board with the severed limbs, it rolls without deviation and lands in the center.
Suddenly then.
As the drops of blood scattered on the stair landing were absorbed through the crevices of the altar, the color of the round floor plate turned brown and wriggled as if it were alive.
Drooling, drooling, drooling.
one after another
With the exception of Kim Ji-hak, no one in the tracking team noticed the change, and the embossed limbs joined the knees and thighs, the torso and lower body, and the upper body and forearm.
“… hey hey that-“
“Why are you making a fuss? Did the wolf even come back to life?”
“… … .”
“… What is that?”
In the end, all parts except for the head were put together, and a huge body of 3 meters was raised-
The wolf king’s head rolled down to the bottom of the altar… fit into my chin
Outwardly, it looked like a statue of a naked woman, but a human skull dangling from the waist, a bracelet with bells, and eagle feathers fluttering around-
In Aztec mythology, the goddess of the moon.
Announced the return of Koyolsauki.
