The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

Tallulah lifted herself from the snow, using her sword to prop herself up and stood up. She looked at the inner guard who had attacked her. A large scratch appeared on his uniform. He was the same inner guard the Patriot had sent flying earlier. Because of the inner guard's special nature, the Patriot had to hold back. If the uniform were pierced, allowing the demonic energy within to interact with the real dimension, the resulting annihilation would be enough to destroy everyone present except herself.

Because of this, Tallulah and the others had no chance of victory from the moment they faced the Inner Guard. They couldn't kill them, and if they did, they would self-destruct, instantly becoming invincible.

"It's been going on long enough. Talulah, come back with us now. We still have to find the whereabouts of that man. Otherwise, we don't mind slaughtering everyone here." said the inner guard.

"..." Tallulah watched everything unfold before her. The infected were no longer able to withstand the attack of the three inner guards, and the situation of Froststar and the Patriots was now precarious. With ten inner guards deployed, they had no way of defeating this team.

"I'll go with you. Are you sure you will let them go?" Tallulah said gritting her teeth.

"You could die on either side. You should know which side has more options." The internal guard covered his chest. The pain made him very uncomfortable. He had to complete this mission as soon as possible and go back to make adjustments.

"You—damn it—" The Patriot also saw the current situation clearly. If this continued, Tallulah would really be taken away by these people. So he began to chant the ancient spell, intending to start a true destructive posture and prepare to fight for his life.

"I..." Just as Tallulah was about to say something, a familiar man's voice suddenly rang in her ear: "You can choose whatever you want, but please move to the right."

Tallulah was stunned for a moment, then immediately did as the man said.

"call out--"

The sound of something piercing the air echoed from slightly above my left ear, followed by a tragic scream that echoed across the entire snowy plain.

"Stupid... idiot!"

The inner guard who had just spoken with Tallulah roared as a golden holy sword pierced his face. A large amount of black energy began to overflow from the broken hole. Ripples began to form throughout the space, and the faint impression of something large appeared!

"Not good! Retreat quickly!" At this time, all the inner guards saw this and immediately stopped fighting, quickly distanced themselves from the inner guard who was constantly emitting black air.

"Talulah! Yelena! Everyone hide behind me and raise your shields!" The Patriot jumped directly in front of Talulah and held the shield in front of him, as if facing a great enemy.

The other shield guards immediately raised their shields, rebuilt their defenses, and had all the infected people hide behind them. They all knew that once the inner guards' combat uniforms were shattered, the annihilation reaction would be beyond their imagination.

"You beasts—how dare you! Die! Die all together! Hahahaha—ugh!!"

The internal guard, whose head had been pierced, was still laughing wildly and cursing like a normal person. As more and more black energy leaked out of his body, the evil fragments in his body would be completely released.

But before the guard could finish his wild laughter, he was grabbed by the neck as if by someone. Suddenly, a man appeared in front of him, not at all worried about the black mist emanating from his face.

"Has anyone ever told you that you're noisy?" the man said indifferently.

"You... you! So it was you who did it... Die with me..." The inner guard recognized the man. It was none other than Wang Chong, the mastermind behind Tallulah's downfall and failure, as instructed by his superiors. He grasped Wang Chong's hand tightly, intending to completely destroy this variable that had thwarted their plans with a close-range annihilation reaction.

"You don't really think this thing can hurt me, do you?" Who knew that Wang Chong looked at the inner guard with a sarcastic expression, and the next moment, a black mist a hundred times larger than the inner guard rose from Wang Chong's body, instantly enveloping the inner guard.

"You—you—are—truly—evil—!!"

Before the inner guard could finish his words, his consciousness was completely severed... Wang Chong waved his hand, and all the black mist was withdrawn into his body. Wang Chong's hand was empty, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion. The inner guard's body, the demonic fragments, and the black mist were instantly refined by Wang Chong's destructive black mist.

For a moment, the whole audience fell silent.

Chapter 11 Confrontation

"This... is all?" Tallulah poked her head out from the side of the great shield, staring at the scene in disbelief. She had thought she had already overestimated the opponent's strength. But the series of actions that had just occurred completely overturned Tallulah's expectations.

The Patriot remained on high alert, equally astonished by the other party's impressive display. However, having seen much before him, he remained unfazed by the events unfolding before him. Simultaneously, he grew even more wary and fearful of the "Yan Nation Behemoth" named Wang Chong.

Frost Star's reaction was the most exaggerated. After all, it was her first time seeing the enemy attack. Her mouth opened into an O shape, and her eyes lit up. Well, it was mostly curiosity and surprise, much better than the other infected people around her who were frightened by the black fog and associated it with something bad.

Of course, the most terrified personnel were undoubtedly the inner guards themselves, who understood the situation best. They had been observing the situation as they evacuated. And what did they see? An annihilation reaction that was supposed to explode was aborted?

The elite warriors carefully selected to fight against the demons, the inner guards who never feared anything, felt a sense of panic for the first time. If this feeling was allowed to continue to grow, they would probably be unable to suppress the demonic fragments in their bodies.

"Go!" Although the nine internal guards present were not standing together, they all reached a consensus: they must not escape like this, because when they escape, the seeds of terror will be deeply rooted in their hearts, becoming the last straw that breaks their will. They will also be completely unable to suppress the evil fragments and become bombs that may explode at any time.

"Wow, instead of running away, you're walking towards me? Your brother has clearly told you so clearly with his death." Wang Chong picked up the shining holy sword that fell on the snow. This was the treasure he took out from the King's Treasure today, the prototype of the Sword in the Stone - the Sword in the Tree, Gram.

Wang Chong placed his sword on the snow, quietly waiting for the inner guards to charge at him, and then attack him from all angles with their long swords wrapped in black weapons.

"Om-"

"when--"

Several metallic clangs rang out, but the inner guards were surprised to discover that it was their own swords clashing together, and their original target, Wang Chong, had already disappeared from their sight.

"There...!" Suddenly, one of the guards noticed Wang Chong's back not more than 10 meters away from them. Just as he was about to move, he was horrified to find that his body was no longer under his control.

Then, he lowered his head and saw a massive gash in his body, the black energy within his uniform beginning to spread. No... not just him, but all his compatriots around him were either severed, beheaded, or chopped off. But no matter what, from the moment their bodies were shattered, their death was certain.

Wang Chong still maintained his standard posture of holding the sword in the snow with his hands on the hilt, as if he had never moved.

"What...what happened? Sir, you saw it." Tallulah watched as the nine inner guards attacked, yet in the blink of an eye, they were all fatally wounded. The problem was, Tallulah only saw the outcome, completely unaware of the process.

"Fast... too fast... I didn't even see how he attacked or how he moved to that position." However, the Patriot's heavy voice undoubtedly sent another shockwave through Tallulah's heart. Even the Patriot couldn't see how quickly the other party withdrew his attack. Doesn't that mean that if the other party wanted to launch a surprise attack, no one on this side would be able to stop him?

"How... How is this possible? How on earth did you..." An inner guard stared at the figure in horror, as if looking at an indescribable monster. Even when facing the demon, he had never been so frightened. However, due to his wavering will, his consciousness was unable to suppress the demon fragments and was completely devoured, beginning to transform into an annihilated body.

"How noisy!" The shadow behind Wang Chong once again emitted a large amount of black mist, swallowing the group of inner guards. Initially, the guards' agonizing cries could still be heard, but in an instant, everything was quiet. From start to finish, the entire process probably took no more than half a minute.

Wang Chong gathered the black mist into his body, twisted his neck, and relaxed for a while before turning around to look at the infected people who had been watching him complete a series of operations and had already become dazed.

"Tap...tap..."

There was only one sound in the snow: the thud of Wang Chong's footsteps. To the infected, that sound echoed like a death knell. Not all of the infected had seen the man Tallulah had brought in. Even those who did, facing this person with incomprehensible power, felt a surge of panic.

However, just as Wang Chong continued to walk forward, a large figure blocked his path—it was the Patriot. The towering figure instantly gave the still-panicked infected a heartbeat.

Yes, they still had the Patriots here. If the other side was truly malicious, the Patriots would surely lead them to eliminate those who wanted to invade. For a moment, they finally felt a little comforted, so much so that they subconsciously ignored the huge gap between the difficulty of all of them fighting against the inner guards just now and the huge gap between Wang Chong's single-handedly dispatching all the inner guards.

"Stop right here! Yan people...or rather, I should call you the giant beast of Yan." The Patriot said in a deep voice, holding the shield.

"Mr. Patriot!" Tallulah was shocked when she saw Patriot confronting Wang Chong directly. She ran over and wanted to say something.

"Behind me, Tallulah." However, the Patriot seemed decisive and directly blocked Tallulah with his giant halberd.

"The Yan Nation beast?" Wang Chong frowned, then narrowed his eyes as he looked at Tallulah. "Has this fellow invented a new identity for himself?" "Okay, okay, you ignored my warning, huh? I'll deal with it when we get back later."

But a Yan Nation beast? Well, that identity was far more normal than some demonic one, and it could even justify a lie about his immense power. It had to be said that Tallulah's knowledge and planning abilities were far superior to his own.

"So, Mr. Patriot, what do you want to do by stopping me?" Wang Chong spread his hands and asked.

"I don't know your intention in joining us. I cannot place such an unstable factor among my compatriots. So I hope that Lord Behemoth can give a truly affirmative answer. What exactly is your purpose in coming here?" The Patriot said in a deep voice.

"Didn't I ask Miss Tallulah to convey my purpose? Didn't she explain it?" Wang Chong pointed at Tallulah and said.

"So... you are here for Tallulah as well?" said the Patriot.

"That's right, I joined the Reunion just for Tallulah." Wang Chong nodded and admitted it directly.

The whole crowd was in an uproar. Yet another person had appeared, plotting against their leader. They were truly out of the wolf's den, only to enter the tiger's lair.

"In that case... If you want to take Tallulah away, you have to step over my body and let me see how powerful the beast is." The Patriot raised his giant shield, ready to go on the offensive again.

Chapter 12 I Fell in Love with Tallulah at First Sight

Wang Chong was stunned at first when he saw Patriot's hostile expression, but he quickly grasped the key point and said softly, "Mr. Patriot, I think you may have misunderstood something. Please carefully review what I just said. I said, 'I joined the Reunion Movement for Tallulah's sake.' If I tried to forcibly take Tallulah away, do you think I would still follow her back to the camp?"

After hearing Wang Chong's words, the Patriot lowered his raised shield slightly. However, it was obvious that the Patriot had not completely relaxed his guard against Wang Chong. He simply changed his original intention to fight and waited to see what the other party had to say.

"You don't want to take Tallulah away, but since you came here for Tallulah, you must have a specific reason," said the Patriot.

"This reason already involves personal privacy. Is it necessary to explain it?" Wang Chong said with a helpless expression.

"I must explain!" the Patriot said solemnly. "Behind me stands not only Tallulah, but also a host of fellow infected people. They have all joined the Reunion Movement for the same ideal. They have already done everything they can just to survive... But for Tallulah—for the ideals portrayed by the leader of the Reunion Movement—they would rather give up their own hope of survival than bring hope to others and realize the future their leader has envisioned."

"Because of this, your attitude toward the Leader will determine our attitude toward you. Sir Behemoth, if you were truly just an ordinary visitor, simply experiencing the myriad aspects of life, playing with the world, and therefore developing a slight interest in Tallulah and wishing to be a witness, then we wouldn't be so unkind. After all, it's an indisputable fact that you saved us."

"But... ha... cough... but if you harbor evil intentions and wish to use Tallulah, or us, to achieve your goals, then the mighty halberd in my hand will show no mercy. Even if we perish in battle, we will fight to the bitter end!"

This was probably the longest speech Patriot had ever spoken since the Originium disease had caused his throat to malfunction, so much so that his voice began to blur and crack at the end. However, the stinging pain in his throat couldn't dampen Patriot's resolve. His hoarse yet resounding voice inspired everyone behind him.

"Sir..." Tallulah looked at the back, feeling touched, but also deeply regretful that she had finally controlled her anger and almost dragged herself and those who cherished her into an irretrievable situation.

"Clap clap clap..."

The applause naturally came from Wang Chong. As he clapped, Wang Chong said, "Alright, considering Mr. Patriot's awareness, I'll be frank."

Tallulah looked at Wang Chong, puzzled. Could it be that Wang Chong would actually tell her the truth about why he was targeting her? For example, other secrets related to his life experience and bloodline?

But the scene that followed was something Tallulah would never forget. Wang Chong coughed twice, then replied with an extremely serious expression, "I came here for Tallulah for only one reason—I fell in love with her at first sight!"

"what?"

Frost Star was the first to react. Her rabbit ears twitched back and forth as if she had heard some incredible news. She first glanced at Wang Chong, then at Tallulah.

Tallulah's eyes seemed to come to her senses after being in a daze. As she was struck by fear, a blush crept from her neck to her face and then to the back of her ears. She was blushing unbearably.

"That's not right? In the past, many people have expressed their admiration for Tallulah, but hasn't she always been able to refuse them with a sunny smile or an unwavering attitude? Why is Tallulah's face turning red this time?... There's something fishy!" Frost Star felt like she was possessed by a great detective at this moment, and no clues could escape her eyes.

However, compared to Froststar's shock and surprise, and Tallulah's shame and anger, the Patriot's fighting spirit at this moment not only did not diminish, but became even stronger.

"Are you kidding me?" Clearly, Patriot didn't believe the other party's words. He even felt that they were a harsh humiliation of Tallulah, and this was done in front of all the infected. Therefore, he felt only anger.

"What? You think I'm joking?" Wang Chong said, his voice beginning to become displeased.

"The giant beast of Yan Country, an extremely powerful being that has lived for who knows how long, has fallen in love with a girl who is short-lived and as weak as duckweed for such a being, just by meeting her once. Do you think I will believe it?" said the Patriot.

"Heh..." At that moment, Wang Chong, who hadn't moved for a long time, took his first step with a cold snort. The moment he took that step, a terrifying aura like a mountain rose from Wang Chong's body, suppressing everyone present.

"Mr. Patriot—no, I should call you General Bozhuocasti and the last pure-blooded Wendigo of Kazdel. I'm still speaking kindly to you now out of respect for your deeds. But that doesn't mean you can disregard my words at will!"

"Conspiracy? Trick? Exploitation? Ha, perhaps, but they're just some harmless little thoughts. But there's one thing I believe you, as a fellow top power, should be very clear about! If we really want to do something big... our fists are enough to crush everything. Especially for weak and short-lived creatures like you, I really don't bother to use any conspiracies or tricks to harm you. Call it arrogance, call it conceit, but this is the pride of our existence."

As the words fell, the footsteps continued to move forward, and behind Wang Chong was a huge black fog that had risen hundreds of feet into the sky, covering the sky and the sun, just like one of the most profound fears engraved in the hearts of all Tailai creatures: natural disasters.

A human-shaped natural disaster. This term couldn't be more appropriate for Wang Chong. Wang Chong floated up, treading the air like a true god. He coldly gazed down at the infected below, who stared at him with a hint of fear, and finally set his sights on the Patriot.

"Patriot, even you have had feelings for the infected and once had a family. So what about the behemoths? They have human thoughts and feelings, and spiritual needs just like humans. What? You've always advocated getting rid of ordinary people's prejudice against the infected, but now you're developing this prejudice against the behemoths?"

After Wang Chong finished speaking, he awaited the Patriot's response. The Patriot faced the heaviest, most weighty pressure. If it weren't for his willpower, he would have been crushed by the pressure. However, after hearing Wang Chong's last words, he seemed to think deeply about Wang Chong's question. Finally, he slowly said, "I was disrespectful of your words."

As soon as he finished speaking, the heavy pressure began to slowly dissipate from his shoulders, and the black mist rising into the sky slowly receded. Wang Chong finally regained his smile and said, "It's okay, just explain it clearly. I admit that even I would find this kind of thing hard to believe. But Mr. Patriot is so fearless in speaking it out, which is enough to earn him respect."

"How about this, Miss Tallulah." At this time, Wang Chong looked at Tallulah. Just when he was raising the black mist, Tallulah wanted to stop him in front of the Patriot at the first moment, but unfortunately she was suppressed by his momentum and blocked by the Patriot, so she did not succeed.

But now, Wang Chong turned his gaze to Tallulah, held up a finger, and said, "Give me a month. A month to stay in Reunion. Give me the opportunity to pursue you. If I fail to win your heart within a month, I will personally apologize to everyone for the intrusion, the panic, and the anxiety I have caused, and leave on my own accord."

"And this month won't be wasted. Members of the Reunion Movement need to fulfill a task that contributes to the entire organization, and I'll do the same every day. This will also help calm everyone's panic and gain their trust. What do you think? Let's just treat it as a one-month bet, how about it?"

"..." Honestly, Talulah felt a mixture of emotions. They had just been on the brink of life and death, and now the one who had decided their fate was willing to take a step back. Could it be that, as he said, he had truly fallen in love with her at first sight?

At this point, the Patriot said nothing further, handing the decision-making power to the true leader of the Reunion Movement. Although he still had many questions, after sensing the other party's strength, those doubts were completely dispelled by the other party's overwhelming power. After all, as he had said, they were not even worthy of being crushed by the other party, so how could they talk about conspiracy and intrigue?

"By the way, you still owe me something." Wang Chong said, "I saw that you cared about that child, so not long after you left, I cured the child."

"! Sasha... is cured. You saved him?" A hint of surprise flashed in Tallulah's eyes.

"Well, you'll be able to see it when you go back." Wang Chong said, pointing in the direction of the camp.

"...Okay, Mr. Wang Chong, you killed those 10 internal guards and saved us. This favor is here, and as the leader of the Reunion Movement, I naturally have to acknowledge this favor. I am willing to make this one-month bet with Mr. Wang Chong, and I will also represent the Reunion Movement. You are welcome to join temporarily." Guided by the fact that Sasha was cured, Talulah finally made up her mind and spoke.

Chapter 13: Tallulah's Confession

Night had fallen, and only the flickering firelight lit the entire camp. Today, the infected felt unusually tired. Whether it was the battle they had experienced or the horrors they had witnessed, they were exhausted both physically and mentally.

But this might also be good news, because being too tired will make sleep more peaceful. I just don't know how many people will be woken by nightmares tonight.

Tallulah was currently in the area where the wounded were staying, helping to treat those injured in the battle, including the child named Sasha.

"How do you feel now?" Tallulah put her hand on Faust's head to check for any symptoms of fever and said.

"Yes... a little cold, but everything else is fine." Faust shook his head, then as if remembering something, he said, "Don't tell Ino, I'm afraid he'll..."

"He already knew... After all, you haven't come back yet, and the news that you were shot by an arrow has spread a long time ago. Some people even said that you were dead. So he went crazy to find you." Tallulah sighed and said.

"So what is he like now...?" Faust asked worriedly.

"He bumped into someone and then provoked them, resulting in a beating they called 'Love Education' that knocked him unconscious. Take him downstairs to have a good rest." As Talulah spoke, she glanced at Wang Chong, who was performing bone-setting on an infected person, causing him to scream.

"It's the sir... The sir saved my life, and I didn't even know his name." Faust naturally saw Wang Chong. At that moment, when he was at his weakest, on the verge of leaving this world, he vaguely heard the other person say, "Leave him to me."

Afterward, he felt his body begin to settle, and his senses gradually returned. Although it hurt, at least he felt alive again. His body, which had been scorching hot, gradually began to cool down, and then once again felt cold. At this moment, Faust knew that his life had been saved.

"His name is Wang Chong, and he will stay in the camp for at least a month. But Faust, don't get too close to him. Although he did save your life, but..." Tallulah paused after she finished speaking, not knowing how to continue.

"I'll confirm it with my own eyes..." Faust just said this silently. Before Tallulah came, he had vaguely heard about Wang Chong's deeds from the mouths of the newly arrived wounded.

"In short, take good care of your injuries and get enough rest these days. As for Ino, I will take good care of him. Since you are safe, nothing will happen to him either. Don't worry." After giving the instructions, Tallulah got up and walked towards Wang Chong. The noise coming from there had prevented the wounded around from sleeping well.

“Ah! My hand! It’s breaking! It’s breaking!”

"It's not that easy to break. Look, it just happened in a split second—and it's connected now."

“It hurts, it hurts—hiss, it doesn’t seem to hurt anymore?”

"I've already told you it's your own psychological problem. You're screaming like a pig being butchered, and I thought I was going to chop you into minced meat."

"Ah—don't chop me into minced meat!"

"If you yell again, I'll do it."
