Should I Become a Villain?

57 The Snake Monster's Head

The snake monster's head flew quickly towards Radmilo, intending to devour him. It did not work because Radmilo struck the monster on the head with the hilt of his sword right away. Nonetheless, the monster managed to bite into the plate armor protecting Radmilo's leg.

Within seconds, the plate boots were instantly destroyed. Radmilo's leg was now pierced by the snake monster's teeth, causing him to wince in pain. It turned out that the snake monster could move faster when its body was split into two.

Radmilo was unaware of this because Zivile did not inform him. Also, after becoming a hunter, he rarely raided in Australia because the IRO had brought him to the United States.

"Are you a vampire? Stop biting my leg!" Radmilo shouted, thrusting his sword straight into the snake monster's eye.

The action was effective because the monster immediately went to release the bite from his leg. It grumbled angrily and kept its distance from him while its eyeballs recovered.

Meanwhile, the dinosaur monster took advantage of a rare opportunity to attack Radmilo. It summoned all of its flames to attack the man. Unfortunately, it could not join the fight because it had to pay attention to the situation.

The dinosaur monster had to know where Radmilo's attack might take and where the man might go. As a result, it could strategize on its flames. It would lose focus if it fought Radmilo at close range.

Radmilo, on the other hand, felt pain in his leg as he moved to avoid the flames' attacks. Moreover, the flames also targeted his leg which was already injured.

"Gyahahaaha, your leg has to be hurting, right? My bite is poisonous! You will die in ten minutes," the snake monster suddenly shouted when it realized that Radmilo was slower to dodge. It was certain that the poison had already taken effect and would kill him in an instant.

However, Radmilo did not care because he had poison resistance. All he had to do now was fight the flames until his poison resistance saved him.

[<Posion Resistance> has been activated]

[Warning!]

[You received a deadly poison!]

[<Poison resistance> will only absorb 95% of the poison]

[You will recover in five minutes]

Radmilo frowned when he saw the notification. His poison resistance had almost absorbed all the poison his body received. If it was unable to overcome all of the poison, it meant that the snake monster's poison was on a different level.

"A dangerous dungeon never disappoints," Radmilo muttered, smiling when he should have been terrified.

His poison resistance would need more time when the snake monster was biting him continuously. Nevertheless, he did not find it as something dangerous. He believed he only needed to protect the unprotected parts of his body from the snake monster's bites.

When Radmilo focused on fighting the flames, the snake monster recovered and its eye grew again. It chose not to connect its body fragments because it wanted to gain incredible speed.

The snake monster could move faster when its head was severed from its body. However, it rarely got that chance since the hunters had a hard time cutting it. Radmilo had made the monster feel that opportunity, so it would fight well.

"Hey, human! Get ready! I will attack your neck this time."

Radmilo narrowed his eyes warily. He ducked the flames to the side where he could see the snake monster's movements. In an instant, it flew straight at him.

He had to admit the snake monster was faster than him now. If he did not want to be poisoned again, then he had to protect his neck. However, he refused to believe the monster's words.

Instead of protecting his neck, Radmilo protected his feet. "You think I'll be fooled?" he asked when he saw the snake monster about to bite his leg.

The monster failed because Radmilo blocked its mouth with his sword. It moved away from the man for fear that its eyes would be stabbed again. It had a bad experience with its eyes. Furthermore, it did not expect Radmilo would realize its plan.

"How did you know I was going to bite your leg?" The snake monster asked to know how smart its opponent was.

Radmilo replied while swerving the flames, "I thought it was strange that you told me where you were going to attack me. Shouldn't that be a secret? That's why I suspect you said it on purpose to trick me."

"But what if I actually attack your neck?"

"That doesn't happen, right? Why are you thinking about something that doesn't even exist?"

The snake monster hissed. Radmilo's leg was indeed the target because there were bite marks on it. Thus, it could bite in the same place quickly because there was no need to make a new bite.

Meanwhile, Radmilo wasted no time in attacking the snake monster. He ran behind the monster to see its body dripping blood. Among the wounds, he could see a stone jutting out.

"Oh, is that stone your heart?" Radmilo asked while swinging his sword.

The snake monster realized its heart could be seen because its body was cut. It soon crept away from Radmilo, preventing him from killing it any easier.

"It's no use even if you know that. In the end, you will die in five minutes!" said the snake monster, trying to look calm even though it was a little afraid of Radmilo.

The man did not appear to consider the poison as something dangerous. He must have acted this way because he was sure the poison would not harm him. However, the snake monster believed its venom was one of the most dangerous among the Prime Movers.

The monster tried to deny the possibility that Radmilo had poison resistance. It had heard of such ability from Supporters. They said poison resistance would increase when an awakener defeated a certain number of poison monsters.

It took a long time for humans to gain poison resistance that could overcome the snake monster's venom. The snake monster thought that Radmilo was quite suspicious. How did he manage to defeat so many poison monsters in such a short period?

The snake monster thought about that while fighting with Radmilo. The five minutes it had been waiting for arrived. However, it was beyond its expectations as the man could still fight well.

"Who are you?"

The question finally came out of the snake monster's mouth. Radmilo was different from the other powerful hunters who had defeated the monster.

"Me?" Radmilo spoke while darting toward the snake monster. He then jumped up and shouted, "I'm a human being!"

The snake monster slithered to the other side where Radmilo's sword could not pierce it. The sword ended up hitting the ground because the monster could escape. However, it became restless the moment it noticed the ground crack.

It proved that Radmilo had regained his stamina. The snake monster immediately backed away as the man was more focused on it than fighting the flames.

"I'll end our fight now!" Radmilo said as he got closer to the snake monster.

When he managed to reach the back of the monster, he immediately thrust his sword in to destroy the heart. Unfortunately, it was not that easy.

The snake monster's heart was as hard to break as its stone scales. Moreover, it also did not react when Radmilo stabbed its body. That meant the snake monster could not feel pain after being severed in half.

"You stupid human! I can't possibly die that easily!"

The snake monster released itself from Radmilo's blade and slithered swiftly. However, the man did not give up. He continued to chase the monster while avoiding the flames, which seemed to refuse to give up either.

During their fight, Radmilo managed to stab the snake monster's body five times. However, he had not succeeded in destroying the heart. He appeared to have to use one of his skills to win the fight.

Unfortunately, Radmilo was not going to put his skills to use. He resolved to continue trying until his strength was completely depleted. He did not even change his mind after fighting with the snake monster for half an hour.

"Didn't you say you wanted to make an offer?" The snake monster suddenly raised a question during the fight. "Do you want to make a contract with us? If so, then I can agree. Let's stop fighting and discuss it."

Radmilo's memory stuck to Clem's words. The Axolotl said Prime Movers would only agree to contracts with humans who could impress them. The snake monster appeared to be impressed by his fight endurance.

However, Radmilo did not want to deal with it now. When the snake monster was off guard, he immediately thrust his sword into the body. This time, his attack was successful as he saw the monster's heart slowly crack and shatter.

"Gyaaah, you insolent human! I've been good enough to you, but you're just being rude!"

Radmilo covered his ears when he heard the screams of the snake monster. A moment later, the flames that were attacking him disappeared. The snake monster's body also disintegrated, leaving only a stone scale.

The core of the monster appeared to be shaped like a stone scale. Therefore, Radmilo took it and left the dungeon. He was on his way to meet Zivile now because the snake monster had been his last target.
