The Villain's Story

Chapter 566 [566] ...Something can scare you?

Like all the other rides in this theme park, the entrance to the horror house seemed…overly decorative. The gate was a huge skull, with parts of flesh still lingering on it, there was also an eye-popping out of the socket. There were also horns on the top of the thing, as if to resemble a demon.

Also, there was blood and flesh on the surroundings, some appearing to be rotten and some still fresh.

'Sniff.'

I took a sniff and sighed, they got the smell completely wrong. Rotten flesh has a putrid smell, this one has no smell at all… And fresh blood contains the scent of iron, and also a nauseating smell. I have gotten used to that part. I looked and examined them well.

"The smell is entirely off."

I commented as we both waited for our turn. I was unaware of how loud my voice was due to the earbuds… Leading to an unexpected pinch from Sabrina, who was behind me. A coughing sound escaped her lips and she shrugged it off.

"He meant the smell of the cotton candy… Haha."

[Please be quiet.]

She said to the people around, who were giving us weird looks, and to me afterward using the spatial bond. I tried to act natural, and took a sniff of the cotton candy I had left, trying to make her words appear to be reality to the people. I am ashamed of myself… I had gotten too used to the silence.

Also, Is it remarkable that I can differentiate the fake props? Or should I further be ashamed of myself that I could? I remember the scent of fresh and clotted blood very well, also that of rotten and fresh flesh.

Hmm…

She's right… I forgot I'm in the presence of humans, I can't do this type of stuff.

[Sorry.]

I apologized to Sabrina, as I hung my head down in shame. She looked at me with a profound gaze before saying.

[Don't worry about it, Our turn!]

Her voice changed into that of an excited child, as she looked up at the sign with an expectant gaze, Both of us entered the horror house.

"..."

Contrary to the outside, the inside was much more cramped. I had to lower myself a bit…but even then I could feel it on my nape and upper back.

"I'll walk ahead…"

She said. I had entered the establishment first but…due to these circumstances, Sabrina had to take the lead so she won't be inconvenienced during the experience this place would bring.

"Sorry."

I apologized yet again as my chin rested on the top of her head. I could smell the type of shampoo she used.

[Lavender?]

[Please don't smell my head that casually…]

I completely ignored her plea as the scent naturally entered my nostrils, It smelled of lavender, a calming scent.

"You aren't disturbed that much by this, are you?"

I asked, out of worry, If she wanted I could move a bit back…but apparently she didn't mind.

We continued on the course, along the way being met with the 'jump scares' that would frighten normal people to death.

Well, normal people. I could see those things popping out, even in the darkness, clearly, So I wasn't afraid… Sabrina should be like that as well, Her reflexes or senses are slower and weaker than mine, but even then…

'Oh?'

Despite my predictions, she actually moved back a little, Her hair touched my shirt and her head was soon on my neck.

"..."

I won't lie, I don't hate it.

But it did come as a surprise… I didn't think she would be scared of anything that appeared here… Or should I just call it an instinctive response. Her senses and reflexes are much slower than mine, so should I say that she isn't afraid, just moving back a little on reflex.

"…!"

It seemed she realized that she moved back quite a few inches, and that her entire back was now touching my chest.

"Don't worry, keep going. I actually enjoy this."

"..."

I silenced her with my shamelessness, as we continued, my mind wandered constantly, sometimes thinking about the pleasant smell Sabrina exuded, and the nice feeling of this experience and then to responsibilities.

According to Richard, a city will be built on the camp we had set up, with the combined resources and efforts of Earth, in order to make a stable foothold on that city. Considering that we did find traces of a civilization…and what had occurred at the city, It should be heavily militarized at this point, excessively even.

Sigh… But because of that, Twilight has lost its foothold, They dug out the ground the portal was on and transported the entire fucking thing to another building, owned by all the guilds in the top 10, the World government and the association. It completely took away twilight's advantage.

'How the fuck did they even move the portal?'

I questioned that many times… But simply left it as is. I don't have the leisure to think about that… However, it's not like I don't have a solution to the problem faced by the guild.

Strictly speaking, all we need is a foothold… Since building an entire city by itself would be tough on Twilight… Why don't we just take one?

Now, I acknowledge the fact that I absolutely razed the most desirable candidate for this to the ground, destroying it to such a point it literally does not exist 'at all' now. The second candidate would be the ruins we found in the jungle… Although, on second thought, scratch that.

'It would be too hard…'

Hmm… The only option left is the one I found in the desert, however this is on a different level. Unlike the ruins, this one is populated, and also in a harsh climate. I found an entirely covered structure back in the desert, but didn't take it on at that time.

If my mana scans are correct, there are monsters inside, An entire civilization of Minotaur's, they have houses, and everything else to be honest, just at a more primitive level. About a few hundred to a thousand of them.

The reason I avoided back then was due to the sheer number there, and the absurdly powerful Minotaur in the lower level…

but with my current strength, I can take that Minotaur on.

Previously, Twilight's efforts were mainly on the construction of a base back then… But this time it can raid the entire structure.

Despite what it is thought of us, We are still the third ranked guild, Our power is not to be underestimated.

But…

'I want to do it myself.'

Or more specifically.

With the power of my domain.

I have been itching to try it out, the fact that I have an entire army myself… But the numbers are too lacking. I have the corpse of the Night lady, and some other treasures… Perhaps sacrificing them would give me enough points to increase the number of my troops to a sufficient level.

Then, all I would need to is to take care of the damage done to the structure, I should be careful not to damage it too much.

It honestly is more effective if I don't take part in the raid at all, and let my troops do everything… My techniques are all too destructive. Yeah… I think I should just test my domain only, I can just try taking that monster in the lower levels.

'Yeah, that sounds like a good plan.'

Satisfied with myself, I was about to think about 'strategy' and the like, when suddenly…

"Hiek!"

I heard a yelp, one that clearly said Sabrina was scared.

'Huh? There's something here that can actually scare her?'
