The Extra Villain's Second Chance: A Hero's System-Chapter 43 - 42 - Plan Junction

If he exited through the hole he made in the ceiling, it might be faster to escape, but there was a high probability that the people who heard the explosion would enter through it.

"Oh, what a surprise." Just as Lev opened the secret door, he was surprised by the presence of an old man wearing a torn cloak. In addition to the thick beard on the old man’s face, Lev recognized the skull staff in the old man’s hand. "So, it was you who broke my toy?!"

The old man sat down on Andrei’s work chair.

Lev could only be stunned.

He was indeed a person who liked to plan things, but he realized that he was not the main character who was designed as a genius who was able to carry out plans with one hundred percent accuracy without any interference. It was only natural that one or two things would get out of his control, including the arrival of Wyatt Ruckus.

[Name: Wyatt Ruckus.]

[Failed to identify target.]

Observation skill could only find out his name, not the details of his attributes and skills.

However, there was a further notification that made him even more surprised.

[The seed of one of the seven deadly sins, Sin of Wrath, has been detected.]

After reading the notification message, Lev knew that Wyatt Ruckus was one of the seven deadly sins, an entity waiting to open the gates to hell.

’What did he mean?’ Inwardly, Lev felt even more curious about what Wyatt had said.

Did Wyatt mean that his toy was Andrei?

How was Andrei related to Wyatt?

Snap!

While Lev was still standing in confusion, Wyatt was seen snapping his fingers. Suddenly, a magic circle formed under Lev’s feet. Before Lev could move, a black arm made of magic shackled his body.

Lev’s legs couldn’t move and neither could his hands. All of his limbs were locked. His mouth was also gagged so he couldn’t speak.

Because his Dark Mana had run out, he automatically couldn’t activate any skills, even his Master Puppetry skill was no longer active. Automatically, his control over Gallios was cut off.

His body was lifted into the air according to Wyatt’s will.

Wyatt got up from the chair and walked into the hidden room, into the dungeon, and eventually to the boss field where he had killed Andrei.

Along the way, his body hovered behind Wyatt without being able to do anything. He had asked Astaroth for help, but there was no response. Astaroth was nowhere to be seen around him.

The last time he was seen, Astaroth was yawning as if he was sleepy. He said that he seemed to have spent too much energy. So, after he activated the storage magic, he disappeared somewhere.

When we arrived at the field boss, there were already many people there.

The invited guests who were nobles were watching from above—from the hole in the ceiling that Lev had made.

"Wow, what happened?"

"I don’t know. We’re not allowed to go downstairs."

"But there seems to be a corpse in there."

The nobles were gossiping among themselves as usual.

On the other hand, there were already knights led by Tozir below.

The knights seemed to be identifying what had happened.

They seemed to be shocked when they saw ice flakes on the ground, sword slash marks on the ceiling, and a floor that was pocked with holes as if it had been hit or stepped on too hard.

Lev knew they were surprised not because of the battle scars left behind, but because Astaroth’s sealed body was no longer there.

"Fa-fatherrr! Wh-Whyy?"

The one who shouted hysterically was Boris.

He was kneeling beside Andrei’s head. Boris’ tears were flowing freely as if he was telling everyone that he was really sad. His hand tried to reach Andrei’s head but stopped halfway. Maybe he was too shocked by what he saw, or maybe too scared?

When Lev saw Boris, he was reminded of how he had seen the corpses of his parents on earth—despite being fooled.

Standing not far from Boris was a father and son pair from the Taranin family, Elizavet and Mikhail. Both of them were holding their mouths in shock. Only Mikhail had the courage to look at Andrei’s corpse, while Elizavet looked like she was going to vomit.

There was also Irini who appeared without any shock on her face despite seeing her husband’s body cut into two. Irini patted Boris on the back with a flat face.

In addition to the scenes of sadness performed by the Razanov family, there was one person who stood out the most. He wore a crown and a scepter full of diamonds. The King of Dragomirov Kingdom, Vlasdislav. Lev figured it out in just one glance.

When Wyatt reached King Vlasdislav, he said something very unexpected. "Your Majesty, I have captured the man who killed Duke Andrei."

All eyes immediately fell on Lev as if they were zombies who had found new prey.

Lev clearly frowned, but he realized that showing anger and thrashing around would be useless. Resignation was the only thing he could do. Despite his resignation, Lev was actually enjoying the show Wyatt was playing.

Before arriving in front of King Vlasdislav, on the way to the field boss, Wyatt had searched his body.

He was stripped naked and groped. It was likely that Wyatt was looking for his magic pouch or something like that. Although not completely naked, Lev felt that he had been defiled by the old man in front of him.

After not finding what Wyatt was looking for, he frowned as if his anger was flaring up.

’Lucky I threw everything into Astaroth’s storage magic.’

Whether what Wyatt was looking for was really his magic pouch or not, it did not change the fact that Lev’s life would be completely over if Wyatt found the memory orb and destroyed it.

On the other hand, as long as he held the memory orb, any accusations Wyatt made now would be meaningless later.

The first person to react when hearing Wyatt accuse Lev was Boris. He got up from his grief and hit Lev’s body as if to vent his sorrow.

Although it sounded absurd in everyone’s mind, when they noticed Lev’s scarred face and bloodied clothes, they immediately thought that what Wyatt said was the truth.

Lev didn’t know how people’s faces looked. Were they disappointed, sad, or what? His vision was already blurred because of the beating by Boris.

Finally, he lost his consciousness.

Before he lost consciousness, he heard the conversation between King Vlasdislav and Wyatt.

"Is this child the eldest son of Andrei?"

"It seems so. What should we do with this child?"

"Although Duke Andrei is not a noble renowned for his abilities, it’s hard to believe that he could be defeated by his own son. Moreover, we don’t know why he killed his own father. For now, lock him up and interrogate him first. I will mobilize some people to investigate this matter."

***

Splash!

Lev felt an intense chill stinging his face and body. He opened his eyes in an instant. It turned out that he had just been doused by cold water. His breathing was so heavy that he was forced to open his mouth.

What he saw for the first time was a soldier he didn’t recognize holding an overhang where water was used to douse himself.

Calling the person in front of him a soldier might be inaccurate. The face of the person in front of him was covered with a black execution hood. The clothes he wore were similar to the clothes worn by a chef because of the apron he wore.

"Looks like you’re awake. Let’s start the torture, hehehe."

Although Lev did not see his laughing mouth, from his narrowed eyes, he seemed to be very happy when there was material to torture.

It looked like the person in front of him was an executioner or torturer.

Red blood splatters were visible on the surface of the apron he was wearing. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Not only on the executioner’s body, but the floor around Lev’s also contained blood splatters and pieces of human limbs. Fingers, eyeballs, and pieces of flesh were scattered all over the place.

Lev was sitting on a shabby wooden chair. His hands and feet were firmly bound with handcuffs. "Aren’t you worried I’ll break these handcuffs?"

"Hahaha. Although the handcuffs can’t withstand the strength of a third-level knight, I don’t believe that you’ve reached that level. Even if you can destroy the handcuffs, I’m ready to fight you at any time."

The executioner’s words were indeed correct. His current self would not be able to escape.

Lev looked around.

The room he was in had minimal lighting so there was a creepy atmosphere. People with weak mental strength would be terrified.

There were a lot of torture instruments that he saw.

In the corner of the room was a device like an iron maiden, a coffin with thorns in it. He imagined that if he was put in there, he would be stabbed to death.

In addition, there was also the rack, a bed-like device to pull a person’s arms and legs until their body split apart.

Besides the two tools Lev knew about, there were also other tools that Lev couldn’t imagine how to use to torture people.

It was just that in all of those tools, there was still human blood and flesh, as if to tell everyone that those tools were not just mere displays.
