Should I Become a Villain?-Chapter 69 Speak Through The Mind

Team B was instructed to defeat the undead army that Radmilo had previously defeated. He believed they needed time to slow the undead's regeneration. Normally, it would take the raid team about thirty minutes to overcome the undead army. free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

Radmilo could not just stand there and watch for that long. As a result, he took a step away from his team to use the <Speed Up> skill. As soon as he spoke, a confirmation notification from the system immediately appeared.

[Skill 1 <Speed Up> has been used!]

[Select a target to be affected by <Speed Up>]

"Dungeon," Radmilo replied as quietly as he could for fear of being overheard. Furthermore, he noticed Dianella glancing at him while fighting the undead army.

[The <Speed Up> skill has been used on the target; Dungeon]

Radmilo's wants were handled automatically by the system. When he blinked, he found himself collecting undead bones. The only bones that would regenerate for the undead army were their heads.

The bones that remained would not regenerate. Armor and swords were frequently made from undead bones. The blacksmith would refine the bones with special tools before combining them into the armor and weapon manufacturing process.

Radmilo had no clue what was happening because the effects of <Speed Up> had caused him to forget everything he had gone through. However, he was sure he was not acting strange because Team B was still friendly toward him.

"Have you finished collecting all the bones yet?" Carl approached Radmilo after he had finished resting. "If you still need time, then I will report it to Jim."

"No need. I'm done!" replied Radmilo, rising from the ground and holding a bag containing the undead bones.

"Good job! Then we will continue our raid. Karm will now be our opponent. You should be aware of your surroundings because he's very fast and the damage he creates can kill you. That's why you should wait outside the hole..."

Radmilo followed behind Carl, not interested in hearing about Karm the Undead. That was the information he had learned from Zivile. Instead of paying attention to Carl's words, he pondered the inventories of the awakeners.

One of the reasons dungeon cleaners existed was because of the limited inventory. Hunters could not always keep the items they got in dungeons. Therefore, they had to physically carry the item in the bag.

However, the Guild Union considered that activity could distract the hunters' focus. They finally opened the dungeon cleaning job to the public. Thus, hunters could focus on raids because dungeon cleaners would take care of those items.

Each awakener had a different inventory capacity. It could only be upgraded by getting rewards from quests. People on the internet usually joke by saying that Radmilo's inventory capacity was 12/256.

That was because he had never brought a dungeon cleaner with him after reaching A rank. His inventory capacity was indeed greater than the average awakener. He never even threw away useless items since they still fit in his inventory.

Radmilo was thankful he did not throw away the items because he would be offering them to his member' organization. Some useless items in the future were still considered valuable today because the research had not progressed far.

"Well, here we are!"

Dianella's voice jolted Radmilo out of his reverie. The raid team had arrived at the hole where Karm the Undead was hiding. They looked excited and nervous at the same time. Undead monsters like Karm were feared by hunters because they wore them down.

If they could not overcome their exhaustion, the undead monsters would win. They should have survived until the undead monsters could no longer regenerate.

"I'll be waiting for you here. Blow them away!" Radmilo spoke before the raid team faced the dungeon boss.

They smiled and gave a confident thumbs up, declaring that they would finish the raid well. After that, they entered the hole and walked until they came face to face with Karm the Undead.

The height of the mummy made some of them swallow hard. Dianella could not help but be nervous because this was her first close-range attack on Karm. She would charge forward and deal massive damage to the monster.

Jim stood over Dianella and tapped her on the shoulder, signaling that they would attack right away. Even though they had argued before going on the raid, he should be able to work with her. He would be the guard this time and protect Dianella if Karm attacked from her blind spot.

"You guys remember our strategy, right? I have zero tolerance if you make a mistake!" Jim yelled, alerting everyone in their positions.

Meanwhile, Karm remained seated on his throne, watching the raid team launch their attack. He narrowed his eyes when he saw Dianella disappear. No. The girl had the power of invisibility.

Karm could feel the wind blowing around when Dianella jumped at him. He immediately ducked when he felt the girl was about to attack him.

At the same time, Dianella could not hit Karm in the face with her knuckle. The mummy could dodge quickly, making her hand punch the throne. She backed away as Karm swung his ax in all directions. 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

"Mage! What are you doing?" Carl shouted because Bond, the mage, was just standing behind him with a nervous face. He could understand because it was the first time Bond had faced an undead monster.

However, Jim did not care about that since he was confident in his abilities. He could handle the situation even if the mage was not doing his job. As soon as Karm walked up to him, he immediately activated Perfect Slash.

His power level was different this time. Jim did not control his sword, but it was his sword that controlled him to slash Karm. His body automatically followed the movement of his sword. He had never even learned those sword moves, but he could do them well because of his power.

Dianella did not waste her chance and returned to attack to disrupt Karm's focus on striking Jim. She was still using her invisibility when hitting Karm's legs with her knuckle.

It was a knuckle with great damage that could destroy Karm's throne and leg. Nonetheless, Karm did not care about his legs because they were still regenerating.

"I hate this," Dianella cursed while continuing to punch Karm's leg. Dungeon bosses were indeed on a different level. Still, she felt her health point was 100 while Karm was 999+.

On the other hand, Harold the archer fired a ferocious arrow at Karm. He only used one arrow, but it immediately split into ten when it came off the bow. The undead's primary weakness was the fire.

Even though Karm was stronger than most undead, Harold remained optimistic and continued to carry out his tasks from afar. He had to keep his distance from Karm so the mummy would not attack him. If that happened, then he could not shoot his arrows again.

Meanwhile, Carl cast a spell and a clear rope appeared in his hand. The ropes moved closer to Jim, Dianella, and Harold. It was the Accurate Healing Rope. The raid members did not need to worry about their health points, since Carl could support them.

Bond, who saw everyone working hard, slowly got his composure. After expelling all of his fear, he smashed his long wand into the ground and created a crack that moved swiftly toward Karm.

A moment later, five trolls arose from beneath the crack and attacked Karm. The normal monsters must have lost when they received so many attacks from the raid team. However, Karm was different, since he was undead.

To him, the raid team's attacks were insignificant. Instead, every strike from his ax dealt more damage than theirs. Karm was about to throw his ax at Bond when he heard a voice in his head.

'Hey, can you hear me? I'm the one who defeated you alone. An Instrument told me that I could communicate with you through minds. Let's talk a minute.'

Karm was too shocked that he did not have time to avoid the rain of arrows from Harold. But still, his burned body could regenerate. He then returned to focus on the fight while trying to communicate with Radmilo.

'How did you know about the Instruments? Do you have a contract with an instrument?'

Outside the hole, Radmilo grinned as Karm responded to his words. He had gotten a lot of information from Clem and Zivile while they were at his apartment. They told him he could persuade any monster to communicate.

Radmilo only needed to have a real intention and set his mind's aim on his target monster. Thus, the monster would receive his words. But they could not communicate if the monster refused.

It seemed that Karm acknowledged Radmilo's ability, so he was willing to communicate. Moreover, Radmilo immediately started the conversation with something interesting. Karm had to respond, since it was rare for humans to know about the Instruments.
