Chapter 6. How Dare You Come Back, Char!

The scene was extremely bloody, and the jungle witches were all killed.

Brain matter and blood splattered everywhere.

Milolo Lux was a level 12 Elite Witch. If he really wanted to fight with her, he would need at least five combat professions of the same level to work together to defeat her. However, if she was caught off guard, a single blow from Sonya would be enough.

She was a level 13 berserker with strength two points higher than Ksenja. The battle had ended in a blink of an eye.

Of course, if Char won the battle with the help of the NPCs, he would not be able to gain any experience points. He would not be able to get a single cent of the loot from Sonya either.

However, Char was not interested in the spoils of war that the witch had.

“Take your spoils of war. We’re heading back,” Char said.

He must emphasize “your spoils of war”. Otherwise, Sonya might just leave Char alone and run away.

After all, the contract had ended, and so had the employment. He still had to rely on Sonya to bring him back.

Sure enough, Sonya’s mood brightened when she heard Char’s emphasis.

She picked up the bits and pieces of the witch’s body from the pile of minced meat and brain matter, wiped them on the ground, and wrapped them in her coat.

“Let’s go back!”

…

The villagers were already waiting at the entrance. Sonya’s reputation in the novice village had hit rock bottom after the incident. Even Ksenja, who had rushed over after hearing the news, was still skeptical regarding this issue.

Enke Wester tried to hug his wife, but she glared at him coldly. He had no choice but to stand with the village chief.

He felt that something was wrong, but he could not tell what was wrong.

Other than the NPCs, there were also players who had come to watch the show.

“Did you hear about it? Someone brought an NPC and beat up the Marden.”

“Was it a player or an NPC?”

“It’s probably a grudge between NPCs… How can a player be so crazy?”

As the crowd discussed among themselves, Jojo and the other two who had successfully exchanged the goat’s milk for [Power Slash] noticed the shock in their companions’ eyes.

‘Were they talking about Char?’

They had a feeling that it was Char again.

To everyone’s attention, the main character appeared.

“How dare you come back here?”

Marden, who was wrapped in bandages, said angrily.

Enke’s healing had saved his life. His face was swollen, but he was able to speak.

After that, more than 20 guards stepped forward and formed a human wall, blocking Char and Sonya from entering the village.

“You’re not welcome here, Char,” The village chief said sternly as he looked at Sonya for a moment.

“As for you, you can continue to live here, but you have to shoulder the responsibility of fighting the demons.”

Sonya glared at Marden like a winner, and the latter was so angry that he stomped his feet.

“Sir…”

The village chief glared at him, and Marden stopped making a scene

“Before we decide to banish you, please leave the village, Char. You can go to other villages,” The village chief said.

The guards all looked over, and the players present also looked at them with interest, whispering to each other.

“Is this guy crazy? How did he do that…”

“But how did he manage to hire that Barbarian? Can he hire an NPC? She looks so strong, she can beat ten of me…”

“Maybe it’s some hidden mission, but he messed it up.”

…

Char bowed to the village chief in gratitude and said, “Thank you for your kindness, village chief. However, before I leave, please allow me to say something.”

“No matter what, your act of hurting people won’t be forgiven! Get lost!” A man shouted.

Char ignored him and walked straight to Sonya. “For the sake of our past battles, can I borrow your spoils of war for a moment?”

Sonya agreed to help him. She opened the cloth bag and the smell of blood wafted out.

Char took out a bloody bell and gave Marden a friendly smile.

“What are you laughing at?” Marden roared at Char.

“I just thought of something happy.”

Char shook the bell.

Marden’s body stiffened, and he stood up straight like a doll with his head tilted.

This was the witch’s control over him.

“Turn around and hit him,” Char ordered.

As soon as he finished speaking, Marden turned around in a daze and threw a punch at Enke’s face!

His wrist, which was already fractured, tilted at a terrible angle. It was so painful that tears kept falling, but strangely, he could not make a sound.

Char rang the bell again

“Go on.”

Marden could not control his body, and he chased after Enke, who was already on the ground. He raised his fist but was stopped by Ksenja.

“Char!”

Ksenja glared at him, and Char stopped helplessly. However, at the same time, he glared back at her as if he was complaining about her actions.

As a result, Ksenja avoided his gazes with a guilty conscience.

“Back off!” Char ordered.

Marden did as he was told.

Char threw the bell on the ground and spread out his hands. “Well, you’re a wise man, aren’t you, village chief? So you should understand what this means, right?”

Others might not know the story behind the village chief, but he knew it very well.

Strictly speaking, he was not a human. He was a puppet created by the church in the long history of fighting against monsters. He was full of wisdom and as hard as iron. He would not have prejudice or selfish desires, and he would always maintain justice.

However, he lacked human touch as well.

During the 11th round of beta testing, which was also the only time Char had a bad ending, he had suggested a head-to-head fight with him to become the village chief. After losing Char, the village chief committed suicide. However, before that, he left the information he had collected to Char and taught him how to be a good village chief.

The village chief walked to Enke’s side and helped him up.

“Use [Purification] on Captain Marden.”

Enke did not dare to delay even a moment as he opened his toothless mouth and finished the incantation in a leaking accent.

A milky white light landed on Marden’s body. He trembled and a wisp of black gas emerged from his body. It turned into a ghostly face in mid-air and screamed loudly.

This thing was exactly the same as the “Egg of Chaos” in Zin’rokh’s place.

The village chief placed two fingers on his temple and glared at the black gas. Two beams of white light came out of his eyes and shot at it.

Marden then fell limply to the ground.

Now that the truth was spoken, Char had suddenly turned from a villain to a hero who had saved the village. Although the militia still looked at him with some resistance, there was faint respect.

Just by completing this hidden quest, his reputation would be enough for him to leave the village. However, he was still lacking in levels.

The normal procedure was to please everyone in the village with twenty to thirty side missions.

When the matter was over, everyone left and went back home. Sonya even received a reward from the village chief, who waived her a month’s rent.

The Barbarian came in front of Char and pounded her chest.

“You. Sonya’s friend.”

“It’s my honor,”

Char then continued, “My friend, please tell Miss Ksenja about her humiliation and let the truth come to light.”

Even though Sonya felt that the method was rather despicable, she still did it for Char’s sake.

Sonya went over to Ksenja and said a few words to her. Her expression was helpless, and she was heartbroken. She wanted to argue, but Sonya pulled Enke’s pants down and took out a human-skin mask from his crotch.

“What a disgrace.”

She tore the mask off and spat on the ground.

Sonya was not mocking Enke, but Ksenja.

In her eyes, Ksenja was a strong person, so she should not be toyed with by such a weakling

Of course, Ksenja also understood this, but it was difficult for her to change her emotions. Her heartbroken look made people want to protect her.

Char looked at it for a while and did not care anymore. It was not that he was cold-blooded, but he had seen it too many times.

He had also forgotten how many women he had conquered in his 177 reincarnations.

It was difficult for him to truly invest his feelings into any woman.

He knew that all of this would eventually be wiped out and forgotten, leaving him alone in this bloody system.

He had thought of being a sad hero who would watch over a girl in every reincarnation and tell her the story of thousands of reincarnations. Easier said than done. He could not hold on after three or four reincarnations. As they were madly in love with each other, Char could not stand the unfamiliar feeling when the two of them met again after he reincarnated. With that, his yearning for beauty was slowly worn away.

In the end, only calmness and numbness could keep him alive. He believed that he was a human, not a piece of data.

At this moment, the village chief walked over.

Char turned around as he met the village chief’s calm gaze.
