The man continuously walks towards Hero who is now standing in front of him. He stops and smiles at him, Hero's eyebrows lift as he keeps on looking at the man with an eyeglass. "You are Hero?" he asks.
Hero didn't respond but just kept on staring at him, tightening his grip on his dagger. The man glance behind him seeing the people he killed. "I am not here to be your enemy, Hero. I am here to give you a deal. Be part of us, an organization that can give you secured protection," he speaks.
"Organization?" Hero asks as this is the first time he heard about it.
"Yes, this organization cannot be publicized to anyone as much as possible. This is a secret organization wherein a human like you who receives a rare gem can have power and position once this world becomes one of ours. It will become ours once every human is wiped out, isn't it promising to receive such a gift?" the man replied.
Hero thought about it. The rare gem that the man was talking about might be the black gem that the monster forcibly put in his body. In his first life, Hero hasn't received any kind of information which is why he was surprised to hear such things. Also, he thinks that maybe Valerie is part of the organization that the man had said.
"What if I reject your offer?" Hero asks. The man who was smiling just earlier began to make a heavy expression making Hero glare at him.
"You will become our enemy. We will go to any length to kill you, Hero," he replied causing Hero to snicker and twist his dagger.
"Then, that is the kind of gift I like. I don't have any intention to be part of your so-called organization, you leeches. Besides, my main goal is to kill all monsters anyway, especially your beloved Monster Queen," Hero said causing the man's eyes to widen as he couldn't believe that Hero knew that within days. He is wondering where he got that information.
"It is your choice, Hero. However, I will give you one more chance. Twenty minutes for you to beg and I will immediately stop them attacking you," the man said and gave his men a sign to attack him.
"A hero doesn't beg to the villains, always remember that," Hero speaks and dashes towards all men with swords and any kind of sharp weapons. He was able to kill three people in just a minute which surprised his enemy.
Hero cannot determine if he can be able to beat all of them as there are about a hundred people and he is only one. He still doesn't have any weapon that could help him beat all of them and only relies on his abilities. What made him have difficulties defeating them was that most of them were superiors who received abilities from the purple gems. He is thinking that maybe they got it from Valerie.
"Stop trying hard, it will all just come to waste," one man speaks and attacks Hero but he can avoid it.
"You don't have the right to tell me what I do, you piece of sh.t," Hero speaks as he kicks and cuts the man's hands causing him to scream in pain.
Hero slides backward and looks at the fifty-five more people left. He was gasping for air as he was already tired from fighting against Vanessa's men. He looks around and stands up properly. One man stretched his body and held Hero's feet making him stumble on the ground but still, he was able to stand up.
Immediately one man runs towards him and slides his sword but Hero immediately defends it with his dagger. However, another two men are now behind him making him grit his teeth as he thinks that he cannot make it to defend himself in the back. "These leeches!" Hero shouted. The man who was holding his feet, tightened his grip even more so Hero would not be able to escape from him.
"I won't let you get out of my hands. My sticky hands can tighten the grip and no one can be able to escape from me," the man who can stretch his body said with a smirk looking at Hero.
Hero forcefully takes out his feet from the man's grip and kicks the man with a sword in his stomach making him move away from him. He then turns his back to attack the two men behind him when suddenly, he senses two bullets coming towards them making him stop and quickly step backward. The two men were shot in the head making him surprised.
"Who the heck did that?" he murmured.
He looked at where the bullets were coming from and saw Simon sniping, giving him a thumbs up. "Not bad." Hero smirks and continues to attack until most of them are almost exterminated with the help of Simon in just minutes of fighting. There are only two left who are standing beside the man, clapping his hands. "I guess luck was on your side right now, huh?" the man speaks, smirking and looking at Hero.
Hero just stood properly, holding his dagger. "Why not fight me, Mister Damian." The man called Damian was shocked after hearing it.
"How did you know my real name?" Hero smirks and twists his dagger while looking at the three of them.
"Who knows? Maybe I am someone you already know," Hero speaks and dashes immediately toward one person at Damian's left while the man on his right side was killed by Simon. Even though Simon was already killing his people, this was the only time he sensed Simon's presence. He couldn't believe he had someone that was helping him.
"Now that your bodyguards are killed, what are you gonna do now, Damian?" he asks once again pointing his dagger at Damian's face.
"You are making the wrong move right now, Hero. If you already know my name, I guess you already know where I get my abilities, right?" Damian asks with a serious expression but Hero just smirks at him.
"I know better than you, Damian. Worshipper and Servant of Valerie, the 8th rank corpse scream. I wonder how long can you go?"
