Should I Become a Villain?-Chapter 49 The Hunters Of The Golden Wattle Guild

"WHO ARE YOU?!"

Radmilo raised his hand when someone from the raid team pointed a spear at him. He had expected the raid team to greet him once he defeated Karm. There were five of them, and one had a shield with a yellow flower symbol on it. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

It was the golden wattle, Australia's national flower. Following the appearance of the awakeners, the golden wattle was adopted as the name and symbol of the official guild. The Golden Wattle had the best hunters of any guild. All the hunters there had to go through rigorous training to get a raid license.

"I'm a human," Radmilo finally said something after a long silence.

The man was wearing a mask and covered in armor, making it difficult for anyone to identify him. However, everyone knew that man was no ordinary human. He could defeat Karm the Undead on his own, which was impossible for even an A-rank hunter.

Actually, A-rank hunter could defeat Karm. Still, it would make sense if the hunter spent a long time killing the mummy. The man, on the other hand, was able to defeat Karm in a relatively short time. He was more strong than the average A-rank hunters in the world.

"Do you smuggle dungeon items?" Wylie, the one with the spear, inquired once more. He was the leader of the raid team and had to take responsibility when there was trouble in the dungeon.

Radmilo, on the other hand, did not take him seriously. "As I previously stated, I'm a human."

"Answer my question properly if you don't want this spear to pierce your neck!"

Radmilo could feel a chill from the spear's tip touching his neck. Wylie appeared to be about to thrust the spear if he did not respond. Unfortunately, he had no reason to be concerned about the threat.

He calmly gripped the spear's shaft. "You're going to kill me with this?" he asked, his voice filled with mockery.

"I'm not kidding. I will...!"

Wylie's voice caught in his throat as he realized he could not move his spear. He refused to give up by trying to put all his strength into his weapon. But still, the spear did not move an inch.

Everyone realized this and became confused. Wylie was the most powerful of the team. As a result, they were hesitant to attack because the man had managed to overwhelm their leader.

"I don't have any grudge against your guild," Radmilo spoke as he removed the spear from his neck. "You should be thankful that I'm not going to kill you."

Wylie tightened his grip on his spear. If the mysterious man was an item smuggler, he had no choice but to kill him. There were already cases where an evil organization manipulated the cores of Karm the Undead.

The organization created healing potions and sold them on the black market for a low price. People secretly bought it because the standard price of the potion was quite expensive. The healing potions from the organization also had the same efficacy as the official potions.

One day, there was an incident. Some people who consumed the potion died instead of being healed. It was discovered that the evil organization distributed both genuine and counterfeit healing potions. That was how they could sell potions at such low prices.

Nonetheless, many people still bought the potion. Most of them were brokers. Because the potion did not affect animals, they kidnapped someone to test its authenticity.

The brokers then sold the real potions to the pharmacy where they worked. The IRO had arrested several unethical pharmacists who had been caught buying healing potions from brokers. However, the case was still happening today.

Accordingly, hunters could attack item smugglers in the Forest of Death Dungeon. The smugglers had caused a lot of trouble, and nothing good would come of letting them live.

"I apologize. But you're not going to get out of here alive," Wylie closed his eyes as fire engulfed the tip of his spear.

All the raid members understood their leader's intentions. It was a sign they had to attack the mysterious man. Everyone had activated their powers and was ready to attack him.

"Huh? Are you all elementalists?"

Radmilo raised his eyebrows. All the hunters had Elemental Powers. It seemed they were the best elementalist hunters that the Golden Wattle guild had built.

"Yes, we are elementalists," a man replied as he drew his bowstring.

An arrow with an icing tip flew toward Radmilo a split second later. The arrow missed its mark because the man was able to avoid it. The ice arrow became lodged in the tree trunk, causing the entire tree to freeze. e up with a strategy.

Amos immediately retreated with Zoe, a healer, on the raid team. They let their friends handle the fight. Nonetheless, they were always willing to assist them from afar.

Meanwhile, Wylie became the first to attack Radmilo. He would knock the man to the ground with his spear and finish him off with Drew, someone who carried a sword and shield with him.

It was their plan that was thwarted by Radmilo. The man could always dodge and deliver deadly attacks. Drew came to know the man's flame sword was so powerful that his shield was nearly broken after taking the damage.

"Is this all you can do?"

The question could not provoke Wylie or Drew. They remained calm, although Radmilo held back their attacks while grinning mockingly.

At the same time, Seren the mage cast a spell and made her maximum power active. The spell summoned a hurricane that was heading straight for Radmilo.

Wylie and Drew moved away because they did not want to be knocked by the hurricane. They waited while getting healed by Zoe. The healer possessed the element of water, which made her bound to water spirits that could heal.

The water spirits resembled elves. They had wings on their small bodies, and their clothes were made of water.

"Did Seren manage to get him to back down?" Zoe inquired from a distance.

Amos, who was standing next to her, immediately shook his head. He said nothing and chose to shoot an arrow at the hurricane. Thus, he could tell whether the mysterious man still survive or not.

On the other hand, Radmilo was trapped inside the hurricane created by Seren. He looked calm because it could not make him move an inch. While he was waiting for Seren to stop her magic, an arrow suddenly burst into the hurricane.

"He is a good archer," Radmilo muttered after evading Amos' arrow. However, the arrow managed to scratch his armor.

Meanwhile, Amos frowned, knowing that his arrow had missed its target. Then he tried to attack Radmilo once more. But the outcome remained the same. All of his arrows missed the target.

Wylie had been watching Amos' actions earlier and assumed Seren's magic did not work on the man. He was forced to tell Seren to stop her magic to see what happened.

After the hurricane disappeared, everyone could see Radmilo was still standing there with his hands on his sword. The man looked fine, as if he had not been trapped in a hurricane a while ago.

"What did he say?" Drew frowned in confusion, realizing Radmilo had said something. He could not hear anything, since they were quite far away.

Everyone waited with their hearts pounding as they understood Radmilo had used the trigger. As they blinked, something hit their neck hard and made them lose consciousness.

Amos was the only one who was still awake. He witnessed how Radmilo moved quickly and hit the vital points on his friends' necks with the hilt of the sword.

"Don't worry. I didn't kill your friends. But I will kill all of you if you piss me off a second time."

Amos lowered his head and held his breath as Radmilo walked towards him. When the mysterious man moved away from him, he exhaled a sigh of relief.

He then clenched his fists, feeling embarrassed at secretly thanking the mysterious man for not killing him and his friends.

Outside the dungeon, Radmilo decided to return to his apartment. He needed to meet Dianella to come up with an alibi for not being in the dungeon today. Once that was done, he would continue to encounter other monsters.
