Chapter 778 – #6-22 Villains, Heroes and Goblins (5)
―Villain #13 is a villain. Since No. 13 is a villain, he is Villain No. 13. Number 13 is a villain. The villain is number 13.
―What am I talking about?
Spades cannot forgive Villain No. 13.
Before the relationship between hero and villain, No. 13 committed too many unforgivable acts.
He seems to be a villain and does whatever he wants, but I think he deserves to bear the resentment and resentment that comes with it.
I will not forgive what I did to myself or what I did to my colleagues in Division 7. I will not forgive.
But if that means you don’t like him, then I don’t really know that anymore.
Should I say that I hate it and love it.
Although he was an annoying man in many ways, I couldn’t help but want to catch him and kill him by breaking his neck.
I learned a little more about No. 13 than before.
Maybe that’s why he couldn’t hate me. I really knew what kind of guy he was.
Villain No. 13 is a man who is perverted, shrewd, cunning, the only thing that comes out of his mouth is lies, he is a spendthrift, and he likes sweets.
He seems to like drinking. He didn’t know, but I also found out some time ago that he used to smoke. He quit smoking, but says he still smokes when he’s not in a good mood or when he’s nervous.
And, a strange man.
He says he feels terrible about his life, but he throws his life away without any thought.
First, for his colleagues in Abyss, a boss-like organization that he cherishes.
Next, for the heroes who became his property.
Spade also received help from No. 13.
A runaway villain that she had no choice but to kill with her own hands in the past. The villain was the younger brother of No. 13’s cherished boss, and as revenge, Spade should have died after being tortured horribly.
But she lived. No. 13 saved my life. She even betrayed her boss and saved him.
Spade, Club, and the entire 7th Division almost fell for Olivia’s scheme and ended up in a terrible situation. However, No. 13 saved him. Of course, in this case, No. 13 may have just acted for his own benefit, but it is true that he received help anyway. If it weren’t for him, the 7th Division and this country would have been destroyed by Olivia’s scheme.
And above all, what happened with Fairy Snow White.
Even though he was under Snow White’s spell and his life was put on the line, Number 13 still did not throw away his spade.
He always says He couldn’t allow anyone to touch his belongings. That’s why I just didn’t sit still, and as a result, I was saved.
Funny guy.
This is a truly lame excuse. Does it mean that you can’t save someone if you don’t have such a lame excuse?
Since I can’t just leave it alone, why can’t I say I saved it?
If you are someone who is passionate about the topic of villains, you can’t just leave them alone, whether they are enemies or allies, so is it really that difficult to say that you ended up risking your life to save them? Are you a tsundere? Are you a tsundere?
Number 13 is an extremely humane guy.
As a villain and an awakened person who has been deprived of human rights, he tries to live more like a human being than ordinary people.
Like a human being, he is faithful to his desires, like a human being, he is attracted to emotions, and like a human being, he knows how to cherish people.
He’s that kind of guy, so I can’t even hate Spade.
Clearly, what he did to himself cannot be forgiven.
But it’s not hateful.
Even if he dies someday, I will kill him with my own hands, and I have no intention of watching him die unreasonably at the hands of an unrelated person.
Today’s battle was originally something that would have been better if it didn’t happen.
Sim Cheong asked Spade for cooperation and encouraged him to betray No. 13.
Spade told that fact to No. 13, and No. 13 decided to use it in the opposite direction and trap Sim Cheong.
But actually, there was no need for that.
No matter what, time was running out, and I was always worried that No. 13 was underprepared.
If he was cautious, he would have wanted a strategy with a higher chance of winning. That takes time. And if he wanted, he could buy that time.
However, instead of putting it off, I approached the meeting with Shim Cheong with a sloppy strategy full of holes.
Because of spades.
It was because of spades.
Since Spade’s life is being held hostage, I don’t want to give him a useless excuse.
It seems that Sim Cheong himself cannot activate the spell cast on Spade, and since he seems to be moving separately from Snow White Fairy in the first place, it may have been unlucky… Anyway, Spade knows how he feels.
‘You can’t be in debt to a villain.’
In the first place, it became a detailed and troublesome story, such as saying that No. 13 was the cause. I have no desire to take responsibility.
Just because he didn’t let himself die.
So, Spade also wanted to repay that.
She wanted to protect him too.
That’s just it.
So.
―This time, I will definitely protect No. 13.

“【The Lion of Nemeth! Lerna’s Hydra! The wild boar of Erymanthus!】”
Blooming red magic power, the spade shouts out the words of the chant.
“【All twelve tasks are engraved on this body】.”
A red magical flame that surges and blooms along with the chanting words.
The fire envelopes the body of the spade, and then the great sword she holds in her hand.
The same chant as before. However, the quality and quantity of the rising flames are incomparable to previous ones.
Her flame burning around her is like a fierce storm.
Additionally, the red magic that surrounds her is also mixed with brilliant golden magic. The golden magic belongs to No. 13.
“【So this body, through trials, goes beyond humans and reaches God!】”
Spade’s eyes shine. As if containing the sun, those eyes are emitting an intense light.
Red magic and golden magic mix and begin to emit a pure white glow.
The fire that surrounds her body and burns brilliantly is reminiscent of the flame of the sacred fire in mythology.
The spade holds the great sword firmly again.
What that gaze is looking at is a blue flame ogre starting to fall towards us under that gray sky.
Even though she knows that the opponent is of a much higher rank than her, she does not feel afraid.
I was so scared a little while ago.
When she chanted this chant with her own red magic, she actually felt very nervous and scared.
Just with the golden magic mixed in, she feels very reassured right now… She feels like she can do anything.
“【With my power, I will build a new pillar and become a new star that defeats disaster!!!】”
The chant ends. The flame that surrounds her, the flame that has now burned completely white, is at its peak
Her body burns with a magic power that could even split the sky, and her heart is filled with a feeling of soaring elation.
I felt like I could understand the feelings of the ‘hero’ who defeated the monster in mythology, at least at this moment.
“Go spade!!!”
Number 13’s voice was heard.
A voice that strangely fills me with energy. A voice that makes you feel safe when you hear it. I’m angry and annoyed, but I can’t hate you at all… A voice that makes you feel a little sad.
Thanks to that voice and that support, the spade kicked the ground.
From the ground to the air, from the ground to the sky.
Soaring toward her, her goblin, engulfed in blue flames and lightning, falling from the sky.
“Ha,” “Haha,”
Haha!!!”
Along with the crackling sound of lightning, Sim Cheong’s laughter was heard strangely clearly.
Pure white flames flying into the sky. Blue flames falling into the sky.
The distance between the two narrows.
Sim Cheong’s sword, engulfed in lightning and flames, fell vertically as if it were cutting through the air.
The olive-necked greatsword that Spade holds in her hand is wrapped in pure white light and extends upward as if intersecting with it.
――――――――――――――――!!!!
And before long.
As the two lights clashed, a blinding polar light exploded.
As if breathing life into a gray world where both the sky and the sea were gray, a dazzling light illuminates the entire world created by No. 13 and the ship he rode, the Argo…
* * *
Coo! With Kara… !
The chain anchor that was flying around fell to the ground.
A chain anchor thrown to the floor in a circle.
In the circle drawn by the anchor, there are the heroes of the 7th division, excluding Spade, and number 13, as if protecting those heroes.
Just before the clash between Spade and Sim Cheong, No. 13, who was in a strong mood, hurriedly moved Coco and the club, who had fallen nearby, and brought them to a range he could protect.
I used the last of my mental strength to protect the surroundings as an anchor, but in the end, that was the end.
Fortunately, what we were worried about did not happen, and even that sloppy protection was enough to protect everyone.
The magic power still remains. I feel magical power coming from the fragments even at this moment.
But mental strength is the limit. I no longer have the confidence to suppress the fragments. Perhaps he knows how he feels, or perhaps he is satisfied that he has run amok enough, but the magic power flowing from the fragments is gradually decreasing.
Quick… Quick…
The world is creaking. Little by little, it seems like the original scenery of the abandoned factory is starting to become visible.
In such a landscape, in a collapsing world, No. 13 looks towards the other side.
I see the end of the fight and the fate of the fight with those eyes.
『―――――.』
A spade stood there.
The red flower lies in the arms of a spade.
The great sword of spades was still in one of her hands, but she let go just now. Boom! And fell to the floor.
Near the place where Spade’s greatsword fell, a sword that appeared to belong to Jeokhwa was rolling around on the ground with its body broken. Soon the sword changed on its own, and its rough club shape returned.
The red flower in Spade’s arms had one of her horns cut off.
I wonder if what Jeokhwa said a moment ago was true, as both the cut and uncut sides were slowly shrinking in real time. The strength felt in the body gradually weakens.
“… “I won.”
Number 13 muttered in confusion.
Perhaps in response to his feelings of relief, the world returns to its original state a little faster.
When that happens, we return to the completely messed up scenery of the abandoned factory.
Only then did the tension seem to ease, and Spade, who had been standing stiffly all along, fell to the floor with a red flower in his arms.
