Villain Hides His True Colors

Noah wasn’t God, how could he turn into such a huge wolf?

 

And he himself was the first child chosen by God.

 

Noah-nim left the children to me.

 

Pumpkin looked at the children fighting with a solemn look.
The order given by Noah was to make sure that the children were never hurt.

 

What sweet and compassionate words.

 

It was his mission to carry out the order.

 

“Everyone, back up! Move in the closed formation that Noah-nim taught us! Pie! Especially you! Don’t move by yourself!”

 

“Kyaak! It’s okay! Noah-oppa said I can do whatever I want!”

 

“Keuk…Still! Be careful!”

 

“Okay, okay.”

 

Pumpkin led the children and continued to hunt the monsters.

 

There were times when it was dangerous, but each time, Noah, who had turned into a huge wolf, would kill the monsters.

With just a kick, the evil monsters were purified instantly.

 

It was an overwhelming strength.

 

Ah…We have to publicize this greatness.

 

For a while, Pumpkin looked at Noah’s figure with servitude.

I had been constantly looking at the messages that came to mind for a while.

 

[ The effect < Mark of a Warrior > has activated.
] 

[ Favorability has increased.
]

Why did this keep popping up?

 

I was just hunting, but I kept getting the message that my favorability had increased.

 

Of course, I unintentionally saved several people in the process, but I didn’t understand this degree of increase in favorability.

 

It came up a few times when I was suppressing the terrorists in the hotel, but it wasn’t to this extent…

 

I glanced back.

 

There, I saw the number of people that had increased to nearly 30 following me.

 

And most of them were children of a similar age to me.

 

Hmm…Do kids like Warriors?

 

Each one of them held a weapon in their hand.

 

“Understand?! From now on, all answers will be unified with a ‘Yah!'”

 

“””Yah!”””

 

Next to them, Pumpkin and Pie were educating the other children as if imitating a war game.
Perhaps because of the large number of people, their form looked quite passable.

 

As a result, the countless weapons that were used to arm the army were gradually decreasing at a visible rate in my inventory.

 

Well, it didn’t matter since I was growing stronger…

 

But the problem was the possibility that these guys might be included in the Challenge.

 

[Challenge – Guide the Lamb]

Condition: Protect the children until ‘Night of the Dead’ is over. 

Time: 3 days. 

Reward: 1x Random Box (Medium).

 

I didn’t have to protect all of these other children, did I?

 

It felt a little ominous, but I wanted to believe it couldn’t be.

 

But just in case…For now, I better make it clear.

 

“Pie and Pumpkin, come here for a second.” 

 

They ran to me without looking back.
Their eyes sparkled to the point I felt uncomfortable.

 

“You called? Noah-nim.”

 

“What is it, oppa?”

 

Looking at them, I made sure that these brats didn’t misunderstand.

 

“If possible, hyung and the children of Hairy’s house fight in a safe place.
In fact, it’s uncomfortable for other people to get hurt, but first and foremost, these members mustn’t get hurt.”

 

Then suddenly, Pumpkin and Pie began to tear up.

 

“N-Noah-oppa…”

 

“Keuk…N-Noah-nim…Yes Sir! I’ll definitely complete this mission.”

 

“…”

 

It seemed these guys were getting weirder and weirder.
In particular, that brat Pumpkin’s eyes were suspicious.

 

No way…He wasn’t a pervert, was he?

 

If that was the case, regardless of the Challenge, I intended to give up here.

 

Because I didn’t make friends with such people.

 

As soon as I thought as such, a message window popped up in front of me.

 

[ Favorability has reached a certain level.
]

[ You’ve met the requirement to recruit ‘Pumpkin’ and ‘Pie’ as a companion.
]

[ Companions cannot betray you once they’ve joined your party.
]

 

Hmm…I didn’t think it would be a good idea to use these brats as companions.

Frankly, Elizabeth could be an SS-Rank level talent later on.
Compared to her, I couldn’t carry these two in the party.

 

I refused to recruit them without any regret.
Immediately, another message window popped up in front of me.

 

[ Recruitment rejected.
] 

[ ‘Pumpkin’ and ‘Pie’ will be registered as the warrior’s followers.
] 

[ Any target registered as a follower will not betray the warrior and can be converted to a companion at any time.
]

 

Oh?!

 

I never thought there would be a function like this.

 

If a companion was like a party member, then was a follower the same as a guild member?

 

I wouldn’t benefit from < Friendship of a Warrior > or < Road of a Warrior >, but it was enough that they won’t betray me.

 

If it was like this…maybe they would be of use after all.

 

It would be convenient in many ways if I could make connections that won’t betray me while working as a hero in the future.

 

This was good.

 

Looking at the brats who were still tearing up, I smiled.

“Keuk!”

 

Wick, who was injecting mana into the mask, collapsed on the spot and spat out blood.

 

There was a bloody mess all around him.
He tried to reach out and grab the mask again.

 

N-no…

 

Four altars had already been destroyed.
At this rate, Pero’s body will disappear before the end of today.

 

Wick squeezed out his strength and opened the incubator.

 

And, with a terrible rotten smell, decomposed gas spread in all directions.

 

Pero’s body had already decomposed to the point where its shape had turned mushy.

 

“P-Pero…!”

 

Tears flowed down his wrinkled eyes.
He finely sutured the scattered flesh with a surgical tool.

 

And then he added vitality to Pero’s body by infusing his own life.

 

His appearance, which was otherwise already old, had now turned dry like a crumbly old man on the verge of death.

 

“Heuk…heuk…”

 

He breathed heavily.
Because of what he had done, Pero’s body had returned to a state that could be maintained for another day.

 

The last altar…I have to protect it.

 

Malice swayed in his eyes.

 

He didn’t know who was playing this wretched trick on him, but he had no intentions of letting it go.

 

Even if I die…I’ll never let your soul rest in peace…

 

He picked up the mask that was placed next to the incubator.

 

After staring at it for a while, he took a deep breath before wearing it.

 

Soon after, the yin energy of the dead exploded from the mask and it began to dig through his body.

 

“Kuaaaak!”

 

He screamed in pain.

 

The skinny flesh attached to his body suddenly fell off as evil magic filled the empty space around it.

 

After some time,

 

“I’ll make you regret messing with my dog.”

 

From the eyelids that were hollow, a green glow began to sway.
