Villain in a Fantasy World; I Level Up by Conquering Villainesses-Chapter 68: Hidden System Mission
DING!
With his enhanced perception as a D Rank Demonic Dragon, Julian was able to read through all the text in the series of system notifications in less than a second.
His conclusion was, ’Dangerous!’
Every single one of the 4 enemies were just as dangerous if not more dangerous than most of his subordinates.
They were A Rank powerhouses, veteran Awakened with decades of combat experience under their belt.
They’ve hunted, they’ve killed, and this was not their first time hunting A Rank targets.
In that moment, Julian’s heartbeat accelerated to the extreme.
BADUMP! BADUMP!
’Money is everything!’
That was Julian’s creed since Day 1.
In this new world though, money was not just money to Julian anymore. To the current him, money was power in this world.
Money was Dreadmoor, money was Pandora, Lilith, Puck, Xoreth, Elena, Dante, Bruno, and Alfred. Money was his harem and his subordinates.
And now, Julian was forced to watch as 4 extremely dangerous Awakened closed in around 3 of his most valued possessions in this world- his harem and his subordinates.
Julian no longer suppressed it, he finally fully succumbed to the extreme emotions of his Dragon bloodline for the first time since he learned how to control his emotions.
BZZZZ!
Thick red qi swirled around his body like a tsunami as his predatory red eyes burned with rage and anger.
The reason why he didn’t go on an indiscriminate slaughter across Falaniondor and only targeted the Central Bank was because all he actually wanted was money, resources, and food.
The entire world may fear him as the worst villain in history, but inside, Julian was still Julian. Zaratul was dead. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
But this... this shattered the very last shred of compassion that he had for this city who betrayed Zaratul in his weak state.
Julian was not Zaratul, but when his money was threatened, when his life was threatened, when his harem was threatened and when the life of his subordinates was threatened, he was willing to be Zaratul and more.
He was willing to be the Devil himself if that is what was required.
’They want to kill me... so why spare them?’
Julian’s eyes gleamed with murder even as thick and palpable killing intent radiated from his body, and then the Debauchery System lit up with a new thread of system notifications.
DING!

Julian looked at the mission only once, then he grinned.
His grin was twisted and had a touch of madness to it, his grin had a touch of unhinged determination.
This was the grin of a Devil who would do anything to achieve his goal, and Julian’s current goal was to protect all his subordinates and teach Falaniondor a lesson to never forget, reminding them that he was still Zaratul when he wanted.
"My Lord, orders". Standing beside him, Elena requested as her eyes burned with determination and fire.
Puck also stood ready for action.
Julian stood up from his throne for the first time as he cracked his muscles, then he looked at the 2 women and said. "Kill".
It was a single word, but it echoed like a verdict in a Supreme Court.
The Harpy’s eyes curled in devotion and adrenaline the moment she heard his orders. "Yes, Lord Zaratul". Elena nodded and instantly took to the skies.
Unlike Elena, Puck stood beside Julian’s side. "I’ll protect you".
"No!" Julian said in a snappy tone as he glared at the still mature and beautiful Fairy. "Go and support Pandora and the others".
"But..."
Julian’s eyes narrowed, instantly shutting Puck up with a fierce glare. She pursed her lips tightly before flapping her wings and shooting off.
She was off to the Central Bank below.
And then...
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
A loud infernal sound suddenly reverberated through the entirety of Dreadmoor like a call for battle coming from the very depths of hell.
Instantly, Dreadmoor shimmered and left its stealth state as instead, the massive Demon Castle used even more qi crystals to create countless teleportation portals around the castle.
Elena reappeared first, levitating above the teleportation portals in her full war gear, armed with a mighty silver Spear and a large silver Tower Shield.
Behind her floated an airforce of Harpies, thousands of them!
And on the ground level of the first floor of the Demon Castle, an endless tide of foot Demon soldiers began jogging out from the dark depths of the castle.
Tens of thousands of Demon foot soldiers soon spread across the different corners of the castle, converging on the teleportation portals.
Elena raised her Spear high, then she bellowed. "ATTACK!"
BZZZZ!
The Demon foot soldiers of Zaratul’s army and the thousands of Harpies forming the airforce immediately dove into the teleportation portals, reappearing inside the city of Falaniondor within just a few seconds.
And then, a battle of epic proportions started as Zaratul’s Demon Army clashed against Falaniondor’s military!
Flying in the sky, Elena joined her warriors as their Commander as she led the way into the epic battle royal.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Anywhere she moved, disaster followed.
Anytime she swung her Spear, blood, mutilated flesh, and dead Centaurs were left in her wake as she moved like a natural disaster.
As this happened, the battle inside the Central Bank of Falaniondor already started as Puck joined Pandora to support her, Dante, and Xoreth.
This was the entire force of Dreadmoor, and it was more than enough to overwhelm most Kingdoms in Gomorra.
It was already overwhelming the City of Falaniondor within just a few seconds of the war starting.
As the supreme leader of this army, Julian could have decided to stay idle and just observe his subordinates fight on his behalf like a true Monarch.
But well, he was not Zaratul.
He was Julian, he was a 37 years old man in a Demon’s body who lived most of his life as a struggling bouncer.
He was a man who would do anything to get his goal, and he was a man who when his pride was trampled on he would bite back.
Julian was ready to sting.
Julian pulled his Goblin Cleaver out of his Inventory, then he walked to the edge of the balcony and jumped down into the city below.
To satiate his bloodlust and his pride and teach Falaniondor a lesson, riding on their deaths to cultivate his power, he would join the war and fight himself, and kill, and slaughter, and revel in their pain and death.
Tonight, he would willingly embrace the debauchery of slaughter!
Tonight, he would willingly be a Villain!
