The Survival of the Third-rate Villain

Chapter 213 - 213: 213 - Preparing to Fight

The next day...

Zephyrus, Pyro, and I packed up our things and began our

-That's weird, there's nothing on the way.

-Meep...

Zephyrus and Pyro murmured, weirded out by how quiet the approach had been.

"That's true."

I simply replied. I already knew that it would be like this.

I'd encountered nothing on the way here either back when I played the game as Leon.

I would've thought I was cursed if that changed.

(That's why Raye stayed alert the whole time—even knowing the path was supposed to be clear. He was prepared for any unexpected deviation.)

Moving on...

"I'm going to open the door now, get ready."

I declared that, placing my hands on the doors.

-I'm ready.

-Meep.

Zephyrus and Pyro answered in a resolute tone.

"Mhm."

I nodded at them.

And with that—

GRRRREEEAAAAK—!

I pushed the double doors made of stone!

It was loud as fuck!

B O O M—!

Then they opened with a thunderous rumble!

'Stealthily getting inside was never an option, huh.'

I thought.

"..."

I saw a massive, circular chamber behind the doors, and unlike the hallway... It was properly illuminated with never burning torches.

And in the center of this all—

-...

There stood a humanoid monster, made entirely of green wood, motionless and silent.

Swish~

Its jewel-like red eyes began glowing brightly—staring directly at me.

It's the boss... [The Hollowed].

Tap—

With a slight move, the boss turned his whole body to face me.

And with its mouthless face—

-Come.

It spoke, preparing to fight!
