I Woke Up as the Villain

arance, but her body was that of a strange monster.
It resembled a spider as she now clung to the wall.

Emilia opened her mouth and a giant spider web wrapped around the heads of Yu-Seong and Kim Do-Jin.

‘Even Kim Do-Jin won’t be able to cut through this.’

Yu-Seong instinctively felt danger, so he transformed Wind Control into Wind Flow.
He threw himself backward.

When the red spider web fell to the ground, Do-Jin looked at it with a frown.
He said, ”This is dangerous.”

Do-Jin had also sensed great danger earlier on and had escaped that one attack.

Yu-Seong nodded in agreement.

Unlike in normal cases, Emilia’s red spider web continued to maintain its form and viscosity even after falling to the floor.
It could now prevent their mobility when fighting against Emilia on the ground.

‘Black Gauze King, Emilia.’

In the original novel, Emilia should have already been dead due to some kind of event.
Therefore, there was no description of the battle, but seeing it firsthand, it was easy to understand why she had earned the nickname ‘Black Gauze King.’

Emilia spewed her webs several times.
Soon, a gigantic spider web was made, forming between the floor and the walls.

”We can ’t win in such a narrow space.
Let ’s run away, ” said Do-Jin unexpectedly.

When Do-Jin started darting toward the outside, Yu-Seong widened his eyes and looked around.
He followed Do-Jin using Wind Flow and chased after him.

”Where are you running off to?! ” Emilia screamed.

Emilia’s spider webs flew toward Yu-Seong ’s ankles, trying to ensnare him.
Fortunately, he had more agility and speed with each step.

’If it wasn’t for Wind Flow, I would be dead.’

As Yu-Seong gradually disappeared from view, Emilia snorted and shot her spider webs toward the outside building.
She pursued the two men through the darkness of the night.

Yu-Seong and Do-Jin turned to look at her massive form in surprise, but Emilia only laughed mockingly and shouted from a wall of the outside building.
”Did you think I would be slow in this form? ”

Emilia was going to attack again.
She generated blood-red energy from her back and emitted spider webs from her mouth, relentlessly striking the two men.

Thump-!

With a loud explosion, screams and chaos filled the entire Pyongyang.

”What the…! ”

At that moment, Yu-Seong stopped in surprise.
A dark-red energy flew and hit his right cheek.

To be honest, Yu-Seong’s entire face would have been penetrated by the attack if Kim Do-Jin hadn’t come close to slashing the energy strike with his sword.

”Stupid! Get your senses together! ” Do-Jin shouted at Yu-Seong.

’The city…
The people…! ’ 

Yu-Seong swallowed the words that he wanted to say.
He avoided the next attack, then stared at Emilia.
He clenched his jaw.
He had already experienced such emotional turmoil during his battle against Vincent.
He was also aware that his insufficient power kept him from preventing such a disaster.

’Don ’t get arrogant.
I am too busy trying to survive now.’

As the screams of innocent people echoed in the background, Yu-Seong forced himself to ignore the pain-filled cries.
He could see Kim Do-Jin approaching Emilia with his sword.

The flow of Emilia’s bloody energy was so intense that Do-Jin could not make a proper approach.

‘Kim Do-Jin is right.’

To minimize the damage here as much as possible, they had no choice but to stop Emilia together.

Yu-Seong’s gaze became even more serious.
He was no longer intent on just capturing Emilia ’s attention and restraining her.

‘How can we kill her?’

The safest way was for them to survive until Helen arrived.

Having experienced Emilia’s attacks, Yu-Seong thought that he could distract Emilia for a longer time than before with Do-Jin’s help.
This was assuming that they only had to survive.
Also, he had no clue just how many innocent lives would be sacrificed along the way.
Even now, Yu-Seong could hear the cries of help all around him.

Yu-Seong was aware that this was not his fault.
Even if it wasn’t the immediate battle, the citizens of Pyongyang would eventually face a terrible death from being used by Emilia and Kim Un-Jeong.
However, Yu-Seong could not help but be angry at being too weak and having to ignore their deaths.

Ever since his battle against Vincent, Yu-Seong’s hatred for the villains grew increasingly.
The reason why he wasn’t overwhelmed by his emotions was the skill Cool-headed, which was transmitted to him through his grip on the spear.

‘Let ’s think of a possible hunting method before Helen arrives.’

Of course, it wasn ’t going to be easy.
The opponent was one of the Twelve Dark Kings of the Demon King Worshiper.
Under regular circumstances, Yu-Seong and Do-Jin had no way of beating Emilia even if they fought with all of their might.

In a way, the answer was simple: they had to exploit their opponent’s weakness and strike the head, a vampire’s true weak spot, with a single blow.

‘The problem is that the head is not even accessible.’

Emilia ’s spider web was certainly dangerous.
If Yu-Seong got caught up in it, he would surely die.

That was why Do-Jin and Yu-Seong tried very hard to maintain a safe distance.
However, even that was different.
When he tried to run away to widen the distance, Emilia would chase him fiercely and not let him get away so easily.

‘And even if I reach a safe distance, there ’s still a problem.’ 

Emilia had a strange blood barrier surrounding her that easily defended against mediocre skills.
Even if Yu-Seong could penetrate it, Emilia’s head was much smaller compared to her body.
That would make it almost impossible for him to strike it with precision.

The more he thought about it, the more Yu-Seong realized the immense strength of his opponent.

‘She is so much stronger than Vincent.’

Emilia couldn’t be defeated through a regular strategy or luck.
Nevertheless, Yu-Seong still desired her death.
He didn ’t want the battle to end with him trying to buy some time.

‘But how? There ’s no way…’

Yu-Seong, filled with anger, suddenly looked toward Kim Do-Jin.

‘Maybe there is a way.’

His eyes suddenly flashed with light.
