The Villain Dies from Talking Too Much (Seeking Monthly Votes, Seeking Recommendation Votes)

"Riveria, Lefiya!"

Tione and Tione rushed to turn and run toward them, but the Man-eating Flower monsters seemed to perceive their goal, attacking the two incessantly to block their path to the rescue.

"Awaken (tempest)"

A low shout rang out, and Ais transformed into a black shadow, charging directly into the giant flower's attack range.

"Draw Sword Strike!"

Sword light flared, and a massive slash severed all the vines attacking from the giant flower, striking its enormous body.

"Are you two alright?"

Ais stood before Riveria and Lefiya, staring at the fallen monster as she asked.

"Ais!"

"We are fine."

Riveria shook her head calmly, looking toward the white-robed figure in front.

"Who exactly are you, and what do you intend to do?"

This was the first time she had ever seen someone capable of controlling monsters from the depths of the Dungeon, and if her intuition was correct, this person had come from even deeper levels.

"Who am I? I am the one chosen by 'Her'! As for what I intend to do, it is naturally to send the Man-eating Flower from the deep levels to the surface and destroy the Labyrinth City Orario!"

"Destroy Orario!"

Lefiya looked at the crazed figure and couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's right, all of this is 'Her' wish. The Man-eating Flower and I are merely acting in accordance with her desire; it is she who granted me eternity!"

The white-robed figure roared, tearing off the Ram-horned Skull Mask from his face and spreading his arms wide like a devout believer.

"Oliver Act!"

Riveria looked at the man who had removed his mask and spoke the name, word by word.

"Oliver Act? Could it be... the White-haired Ghost?"

Hearing this name, Lefiya looked at the white-haired man in shock. One had to know that this person was the leader of Evilus and should have died years ago during the incident with the 'Demon of the 27th Floor'.

"Hehehehahaha!"

Oliver Act looked down at the shocked crowd and began to laugh wildly, though he failed to notice something lurking in the shadows behind him.

At this moment, the members of the Expedition Team, who had been scattered, all gathered around Riveria, their expressions grave as they watched Oliver Act.

"Huh? Where is Lu Qiming?"

Just then, Tione looked around curiously, realizing that Lu Qiming was missing.

"I don't know, but with his strength, he will surely be fine. He must have been held up by some enemy."

Finn looked down at his thumb; it wasn't trembling, which proved that Lu Qiming was not in danger. He possessed a talent where his thumb would automatically tremble if he or his companions encountered a fatal threat.

Just then, the giant flower that had been knocked down by Ais's attack crawled back up, the damage caused by her strike completely restored. Oliver Act stood on the leaves of the giant flower, his body lifted high as he looked down at the crowd with arrogance.

"Oliver Act, shouldn't you be dead?"

Riveria looked up at Oliver Act in the sky and questioned him.

"I did indeed die, but I was resurrected by 'Her'!"

As Oliver Act spoke, he tore off his white robe to reveal his body, and a Magic Stone embedded in his chest appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Are you some kind of hybrid between a human and a monster?"

Finn looked at the Magic Stone on Oliver Act's chest and asked.

"That's right, it was 'She' who granted me a second life. I can hear her voice. She wants to see the sky; she wants to possess the sky. To let her, who sleeps in the depths of the Dungeon, see the sky—the city of Orario is far too much of an eyesore! It must be eliminated!"

"Compared to those foolish humans and gods, she is far more suited to rule the surface!"

"She is different from the gods who call everything entertainment while claiming to respect life, living their lives in mediocrity. 'She' granted me mercy. I am the one chosen by her; only I can realize her expectations, only I can fulfill her wish!"

"That is to destroy this city, Orario!"

"She is my everything!"

The crazed figure stood above everyone's heads, his words filled with madness!

"This person has lost his mind. Finish him!"

Finn looked at Oliver Act's frantic state and raised his spear, aiming it directly at him.

Whoosh!

The spear was hurled from Finn's hand, the air turning into visible white shockwaves as it whistled toward Oliver Act.

"Hmph!"

Oliver Act waved his hand, and the vines of the giant flower appeared before him, blocking Finn's attack.

"The sideshow is over. Giant flower, Man-eating Flower!"

"It is indeed over!"

Suddenly, Lu Qiming's voice rang out behind Oliverus.

"Who~ is it!"

Oliverus felt a sharp pain in his chest, and looking down, he saw only a black blade protruding from the spot where his Magic Stone was located.

"You, who are you? When did you..."

Before Oliverus could finish his sentence, he turned directly into black ash, and a Magic Stone fell from the sky.

"Tch, did you really think this Assassin was a fake? Don't you know that villains die from talking too much? If you don't die, who will? Tell me, you other qualified villain?"

Divine Judgment spun continuously in his hand as Lu Qiming stared with glowing red eyes into the shadows behind the giant flower.

From the shadows, a woman with crimson hair and a long blade in her hand stepped out. She glanced at Lu Qiming calmly, completely indifferent to the fact that he had just killed her companion.

"I didn't expect that just coming to eliminate you all would yield such an unexpected harvest. That wind... are you Aria?"

At this moment, standing in the distance, Ais's hand gripping her sword hilt trembled slightly, her eyes wavering as she looked at the crimson-haired woman.

What did she just say?

The crimson-haired woman looked toward Ais in the distance, drew her long blade, crouched down, and locked her eyes firmly onto Ais.

"Interesting, you'll make a fine gift!"

The ground cracked, a crater appeared where she had stood, and the crimson-haired woman charged directly toward Ais.

The moment she made her move, the giant flower and the Man-eating Flower, which had previously lost control, began to attack frantically.

"Tch!"

Lu Qiming leaped off the giant flower's leaf and swung Divine Judgment, severing all the incoming vines. He stepped on the air, his body flying rapidly toward the main body of the giant flower. He hadn't recovered much of his magic power or stamina yet, so he couldn't use Musou or any other high-consumption skills.

Otherwise, he would have just charged in and hacked Oliverus and all the monsters to pieces.

For now, he had to deal with this giant flower first. As for the others, Lu Qiming didn't think Finn and the rest would fail without him; they were top-tier adventurers, after all.

Gale Dance

Divine Judgment swung at high speed, endless sword light shredding all the vines and leaves attacking him as Lu Qiming's body approached the giant flower's core at high speed.

Below, Finn and the others were temporarily held back by the sheer number of Man-eating Flowers, while Ais had begun to clash with the crimson-haired woman.
