"Wait. Are we lost?"
Ian stopped walking as he looked around, not being able to find any familiar traces anywhere.
"I don't think that's the case, young master."
Steve said as he unsheathed his sword. Ian wasn't as alerted as Steve was, but he also asked Jet and Canis to stay on guard.
"It's too quiet."
There was no sign of life even when they scanned their surrounding with mana. Instead, the mana around them seemed to be acting weird, their pattern different from the natural pattern of mana.
The both of them could come to the same conclusion at that point. Someone was artificially controlling the mana.
"Damn.. What now?"
Ian complained as he started walking. There was no reason to stay frozen in one place just because of this.
"Y-young master! Where are you going?"
Steve asked as he hurriedly tagged alone, this time making sure he doesn't passout like before.
"I do

While Ian was busy enjoying his time inside the cave, the others were turning paler and paler as they heard Steve's explanation.Steve was a talented and skilled knight without question. But even someone like that was thrown away by that 'monsters' one swipe of a hand. He didn't even have time to protest or hold his ground. They couldn't even begin to fathom how powerful he was or what type of awful things Ian must be going through at the moment.By Steve's explanation, it was pretty clear to them that Ian sent Steve out in exchange for his own presence, meaning, to them, it looked like Ian was sacrificing himself to save Steve. Even Steve, who hadn't realised this fact before now, had a grim expression on his face as Corner pointed out this fact to the others."He's doing it again.. ""He's sacrificing himself for others once again..""Why does he do this for us? We're not even worth a single strand of his hair!""Brother.. he's
An Important Villain I Keep Doing Unnecessary Things
"Haah.." Ian sighed as he listened to Corner and the other's explanation. He didn't realise his simple actions would be interpreted in such a manner. He obviously didn't have any intention of letting that misunderstanding progress so he tried to explain the original situation to them. "So it's like that. Do you understand? I KNEW there was no danger and SIMPLY asked Steve to bring you all here cause you'd be worried." "Is that so?" "So you knew already.. I see." The other's looked like they were in deep thoughts as they repeated Ian's words. After pondering over Ian's words for a bit, they looked at each other. 'Young master must be feeling shy! That's why he's making excuses like that.' 'He must not want us to feel bad!' 'He must've conquered this cave be
An Important Villain I Almost Died Thrice?!
"Whoa... Are you serious?" Ian gasped as he looked around. No matter where he looked, gems and treasures filled his eyes. He was inside the master's room at the moment. "Even the walls are filled with mana stones?" "They're all of the highest purity." "Damn.." Ian wondered, he seriously wondered. Would he not be the richest person in the world right now? He had a mana vein back at home, and a cave filled with treasures right here. 'I could probably buy a few small countries with this much, right?' He couldn't help but wonder looking at the scene in front of him. The master's room was a big hall equivalent to a big field. It had walls decorated with mana stones, and then swords, shields, spears , jewels and magic accessories and artifacts filling the whole room. "Your master was
An Important Villain A New Companion
"What is it, brother?" Ash asked as Ian brought him to a separate room for a talk. He wondered if there was something Ian wanted to say to him, something he couldn't share with others. The thought of Ian depending on him made his heart beat a little faster. "That.. let's sit down first. Do you want a snack?" Ian tried to ease up the mood first. "Sure." Ash sat down on a nearby stone as he nodded, taking the beef jerky from Ian's hand. He wondered what made Ian so nervous as he saw Ian tap the floor continuously with his left foot. It was an unconscious habit of his that came out whenever he was worried about something. Since Ash was always around him, he was quick on those little habits and could easily decode Ian's moods through them. "Hey.. You trust me, right?" Ian asked, being unable to bring up the topic straightforwardly. "Of course." Ash replied, his answer immediate and co
An Important Villain My Senses are Warning me!
"Everyone ready?"Ian asked as he checked his equipments one last time. Well, there wasn't much to check actually. All of his stuff were stored in the dimensional ring, leaving him with only a small bag on his back.However, the others had a lot to check, since none of them wanted to put their newly received weapon down and carry it with themselves.'Are they going to destroy a country or what?'Ian thought as he looked at his party. He had a demon, a maze, a knight captain who was on the grandmaster level, two knights who were also nearing the sword master level.'Isn't this enough to threaten a kingdom?'He wondered how the villagers would react if they knew about these facts. Those friendly faces would turn into one of horror and fear within seconds. That's how much of a bad thing power was."By the way, do you have a gender?"He asked as he looked at the maze. It had changed it's appearance to one of
An Important Villain Replacing Arthur
As the light covering them disappeared, Ian opened his eyes slowly. It was another room with unknown wizards on uniform welcoming them."Welcome to Saint Mary's Island. Your ID plaque please."Ian was pleased by the security of the island people as he let Corner handle everything official. After verifying their identity, Ian and the others were about to leave when someone called for him from behind. As he turned around, he found the other mercenary group behind them."Do you need anything, old man?""Pff! Old man? I haven't gone bald yet, boy! Anyway, aren't y'all new here?""Yeah. So what?""Wanna come with us?"Ian looked a little surprised at the sudden offer. He thought for a second before shaking his head slowly."Thanks for the offer.""You sure?""Yeah. See you la
An Important Villain Creating a New Identity
Ian, who was calmly facing the group of seven in front of him, and those seven people in total guard trying to figure out Ian's next moves, they stood at a standstill for a while."Don't you guys want to stop that spell? I can help."Ian said, taking a step forward and crossing his arms."You think we'll believe your bullshit?""Aren't you just trying to buy time for your friends, you sneaky bastard?""Pfftt... I just told you not to call me a bastard."Ian chuckled as he saw them create stories. He knew more than anyone else that nobody else was coming."He's laughing?""Maybe he has some screw loose?""People who plan mass murder are never sane, Joy!"'Oh so that's Joy.'Ian found the guy he was thinking about as he let them continue speaking. After locating Joy, he started observing him from top to bottom.'Looks average.'The guy had brown curly hair and eyes of the
An Important Villain The One Behind Me?
Fortunately for Ian, when he came back to his room, none of his people had woken up yet.'Shit. Forgot to change the robe.'He put the mask in his storage ring and was halfway done taking off the robe when someone turned on the light."Whoa!""Who?!""Uh..?"All three of them that were sleeping on his room, which included Ash, Corner and Steve had woken up simultaneously. He wanted to know who among them had turned on the lights as he looked around and it was Steve."Young master? What's that.. you're wearing?""Brother, are you going somewhere?""That robe.. "Ian wandered what kind of stupid luck he was born with to always face these types of situations as he clicked his tongue in annoyance. He was half naked in a room full of people who were interrogating him."Turn off the light."He said without answering any of them. Steve was looking at him blankly as if he didn't understand
