I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 458 - 320 The Bad Guy Inside Antonio
Chapter 458: Chapter 320 The Bad Guy Inside Antonio
Boom!
The remaining three leaders were forced to transform at the last moment, turning into three huge ghouls.
The leader of the Final Chrysalis was not weak – he was a Sequence Six “Bloodline”, while the two priests from the Red Apple Church were Sequence Seven “Ghouls”.
At this very moment, they were subjected to an unprecedented, horrifying attack!
In the midst of the violent explosions, there were the grisly sounds of bones breaking, muscles tearing, and continuous screams.
...
The cow, Antonio, was somewhat stunned. It slowly turned its head to look at the black-suited gentleman beside it and said, “Human, I think I may have underestimated you… Are these red-clothed humans really the same kind as you? Why do they seem so weak…”
Chen Lun did not reply.
He silently watched the three severely wounded ghouls struggle violently in the black glutinous substance, then slowly stepped forward.
Boom.
The leader of the Final Chrysalis, a Sequence Six, was the first to break free from the glutinous substance, but he was already in a miserable state. Both of his forelimbs had been cut off at the base, dripping with blood that soaked his fur, and his skin was rolled up from the explosive bombardment, leaving gaping, bone-deep wounds.
“Jack! You damned heretic, the followers of the Lady of Shadows will have their revenge on you!” he barked out with his skinless beast face, his large bloody mouth roaring.
The next second, he turned into dozens, even hundreds of bats, scattering in all directions, trying to divert Chen Lun’s attention and survive in the end.
But Chen Lun revealed an indifferent expression, throwing out hundreds of cards again. With a flick of his finger, the cards precisely chased after the bats.
The bats were agile, dodging left and right, attempting to evade the slicing cards, but even if the cards missed, they would instantly stop in place, then spin and fly back as if an invisible hand were delicately controlling them.
Hiss, hiss, hiss…! One after another, the bats were sliced in half, dropping dead.
In both his past and present lives, the enemies Chen Lun had dealt with the most were members of the Red Apple Church… more precisely, Transcendents of the Flesh Pathway. Their various life-preserving means were all too familiar to Chen Lun, and displaying these Sequence Abilities before him was pointless.
If there were specific achievements and entries, Chen Lun would most likely have earned the “Flesh Transcendent Hunting Mastery” achievement.
“Damn it!” The last seven or eight bats were forced to converge and returned to human form.
The leader of the Final Chrysalis fell to his knees with a thud, covered in blood, desperately pounding the ground and shouting in despair.
The next moment, the two priests from the Red Apple Church also broke free from the glutinous substance. Despite missing arms and legs, they roared and rushed towards Chen Lun. They knew that only a desperate fight might give them a chance to survive; simply fleeing would lead to a graveless death.
But reality dealt them a harsh blow.
Chen Lun turned slightly, his right hand whipping out, transforming into dozens of pale pythons that swiftly coiled around the two three-meter-high ghouls, binding them firmly.
No matter how they struggled or twisted, they couldn’t budge the pythons, which only tightened their grip, squeezing the ghouls’ bones and muscles out of shape with cracking sounds.
“Ah… ah!” The two priests screamed in agony, wishing they could die on the spot.
Just as the ghouls’ eyes bulged and their tongues protruded, blood seeping from their mouths and noses as they were about to be crushed to death, Chen Lun chuckled lightly and flicked his Pale Hand carelessly.
The two ghouls, wrapped in white snakes, were thrown from Chen Lun’s arm and landed squarely next to the leader of the Final Chrysalis.
Chen Lun’s severed arm was rapidly healed thanks to “Splitting Resurgence” combined with “Wake of Insects.”
He walked toward the severely injured trio with elegant and slow steps.
“Kill me! Just kill me!” The leader of the Final Chrysalis shouted frenziedly.
“Not just yet,” Chen Lun said softly.
In the next second, he used “Mental Sharing”, and after a willpower check, successfully stole the other party’s memory.
“So the third opportunity was hidden on you…” Chen Lun smiled, raised his hand, and plunged it into the stomach of the leader of the Final Chrysalis. In his horrified eyes, Chen Lun pulled out an ancient book tightly wrapped in cowhide.
Then, he repeated the process, using “Mental Steal” on the two priests from the Red Apple Church, and learned of their plans near Peacock City.
‘It’s still for the Sin Blood… The main goal of the Red Apple Church is not just to create chaos and slaughter, but to use rituals to refine Sin Blood and resurrect their former Pope, Dolomi Purness, who has fallen.’
Chen Lun pondered briefly.
‘With the combat power of this Angel Level Transcendent, they could significantly turn the tide of the war, dragging the Tresor Empire into prolonged turmoil… Is it to buy time for the Beelzebub Kingdom in the Extreme West to complete their invasion?’
After his initial speculation, he no longer continued to torment the three, but simply finished them off.
As the bodies collapsed, Chen Lun gained another batch of Experience Points and Mysterious Objects, incidentally completing the “Super A Level Task: Swordsman” first phase.
[You have earned the mission reward: 50,000 Experience Points, 50 Gold Pounds, and increased Affection from Antonio!]
[Antonio’s Affection towards you has increased! It is now Friendly!]
After helping Antonio regain his freedom, the cow’s attitude towards Chen Lun visibly improved. The most obvious change was that it no longer addressed him as “human,” but was willing to call him “Mr. Jack.”
“Mr. Jack, I’m very grateful for your help. Antonio is finally a free cow!” Antonio swung its head happily, humming a self-indulgent melody.
The environment around had already shifted from the Spirit World back to the present world; the horrific scenes of Purgatory vanished, refreshing the air.
Chen Lun noticed a shift in Antonio’s attitude towards him and secretly speculated that maybe, ever since it had awakened its Spiritual Wisdom, it had suffered persecution and abuse from the End’s Cocoon and the Red Apple Church, leading to a deep hatred for humanity.
‘Perhaps this is why my Friend of Animals and Ultimate Beauty had no effect when we first met… as well as the reason why the former Antonio went on a killing spree to the Beelzebub Kingdom, given that the Rose Royal Family is the true source of evil.’
Chen Lun thought.
Everything had its roots laid down at the beginning.
This was what triggered the course of destiny.
Just then.
Moo!!
Antonio suddenly let out a bizarre cry, then fell straight down, uncontrollably and strangely twitching its limbs as its black and white spots intermingled chaotically.
Its completely black eyes turned blood-red and even shed bloody tears; its body, like a fish out of water, constantly leaped and slapped the ground, making thunderous noises.
“Antonio?”
Taken aback by this abrupt change, Chen Lun quickly called out.
“Bad… bad guy! It’s here again!”
Antonio growled with difficulty.
[Triggered A-Level Chain Mission: Swordsman! The Second Link!]
Mission Description: The contamination Antonio suffers comes from an ancient sword that fell from the heavens, seemingly abandoned by the gods, and thrown into Antonio’s body. The Desecrated Holy Sword attempts relentlessly to possess Antonio’s body to achieve an unorthodox resurrection.
Mission Target: The Second Link— Find Sin Blood to assist Antonio in resisting the contamination and taking control of himself. (Note: The progress of the contamination is affected by Antonio’s willpower!)
Mission Reward: 100,000 Experience Points, 200 Gold Pounds, and increased Affection from Antonio.
‘Desecrated Holy Sword?!’
Upon seeing the mission prompt, Chen Lun’s gaze immediately sharpened.
‘Why would a Super A-Level Mysterious Object from the Red Apple Church enter its body…?’
He didn’t have time to think further and quickly took out the Sin Blood he had collected when hunting the Red Apple Church—a translucent crystal cup already containing nearly one-third of the height in dense blood.
Chen Lun hurried to Antonio’s side, pinned down the struggling cow, and poured the Sin Blood into its mouth.
As soon as all the Sin Blood was consumed by Antonio, it suddenly stopped its violent twitching and regained calmness.
A moment later.
Antonio’s eyes reverted to pitch black, and its black and white spots ceased their chaos.
It stood up, breathing heavily.
“Thank you, Mr. Jack… I feel much better.”
Turning its cow head, Antonio looked at Chen Lun with confusion:

“What did you give me to drink just now? I feel a strength I’ve never had before, and for the first time, I was able to gain the upper hand in the struggle against the bad guy.”
“Sin Blood… that is blood refined by the Red Apple Church through mystic rituals.”
Chen Lun briefly explained.
He was also somewhat relieved that he had collected sufficient Sin Blood; otherwise, Antonio…
Suddenly, Chen Lun furrowed his brows.
‘This isn’t right, if I hadn’t happened to bring Sin Blood, would Antonio have been contaminated? Then how do we explain the world line of the previous life… Without my intervention, its ultimate fate did not seem to have turned into a contaminated being. No, such speculation is baseless!’
Chen Lun immediately asked Antonio a question:
“How many times has such contamination occurred?”
“Mr. Jack, do you mean the number of times the bad guy has tried to take over my body?”
Antonio shook its head.
“I don’t remember; it must have been many, many times. Umm… more than a large basin of grass.”
“?!”
Chen Lun was stunned.
If we go by Antonio’s words, ever since the Desecrated Holy Sword parasitized inside it, it had withstood countless contamination assaults, implying that even without the aid of Sin Blood provided by him, Antonio might not necessarily succumb to contamination.
‘But why can it repeatedly defeat the assaults of a Super A-Level Mysterious Object…?’
This was what puzzled Chen Lun.
Recalling the description on the mission panel, he cast Peek Life on Antonio again. In the Attributes section, which he hadn’t paid attention to before, one item rendered Chen Lun utterly astounded—
Willpower: 82 points!
This was a cow with tremendously strong willpower!
‘No wonder even the Desecrated Holy Sword can’t do anything to it… It truly has met its match!’
Chen Lun couldn’t help but marvel.
