Villain Ch 419. A Man Blinded By Love
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm Elio's frown deepened as he absorbed the gravity of Allen's words. The Devil Emperor's warning had sown seeds of doubt within him, and he couldn't help but feel a growing sense of unease. "What do you mean?" Elio finally asked, his voice tinged with apprehension.
Allen's words took on an eerie undertone as he continued, his voice dripping with a blend of malice and amusement. "Oh, you know exactly what I mean, Paladin," he hissed, a wicked grin tugging at the corners of his lips. "But you choose to feign ignorance... or perhaps, it's the blinding power of love that clouds your judgment."
His lips curled into a cryptic smile. "Consider this a wake-up call," Allen replied enigmatically. "Sometimes, the shadows conceal more than you can imagine. Choose your alliances wisely, for not everything is as it seems."
Elio's shock was palpable as the Devil Emperor's words hit their mark. The realization dawned on him that this enigmatic figure before him was aware of his connection to Sophia, the woman who had ensnared his heart. He stammered, struggling to find words to respond. "You... How could you possibly know about us? You're just... an A.I..." he mumbled, the shock evident in his trembling voice.
In response, the Devil Emperor's grip on Elio tightened, an invisible force constricting around him like an unyielding vice. His crimson eyes blazed with an unsettling intensity. "An A.I.?" he hissed with indignation, his voice growing more menacing by the second. "I am the embodiment of darkness, the ruler of this realm! How dare you diminish me to a mere artificial intelligence!"
Elio let out an agonized groan. His health points steadily decreased, a visible reminder of the perilous situation he found himself in. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he struggled against the relentless force, his body trembling with both pain and fear. The paladin's face contorted in distress, and his demeanor had crumbled into one of vulnerability and helplessness.
"B-But, I... I don't understand," Elio stammered, his voice strained with both physical and emotional anguish. "What do you mean by my main members toying with me?" His struggles continued, but the grip of the invisible force remained unrelenting.
The Devil Emperor's sinister grin widened. "Oh, you'll understand soon enough. Just remember, Paladin, not everyone in your guild has your best interests at heart."
Elio's mind raced with a whirlwind of thoughts and suspicions. The revelation that someone within his own guild might be betraying him weighed heavily on his conscience. But for now, his immediate concern was breaking free from the Devil Emperor's grasp and uncovering the truth behind the warning he had received.
Elio's brow furrowed, and he gritted his teeth as he continued to struggle. "Why did you warn me and why, of all people, only me?" he demanded, his voice fraught with pain and frustration.
The Devil Emperor's words pierced through the air, laced with both disdain and pity. "Because of all the guild leaders, you are the saddest. You're strong yet… you're so pathetic," he hissed, his tone dripping with a strange mix of sympathy and scorn. The grip on Elio's virtual form seemed to tighten with each word, making it clear that the entity before him held considerable power.
"You have so much potential… Yet, your main members… are toying with you!" The Devil Emperor exclaimed, his displeasure evident. It was as though he had witnessed the inner workings of Elio's guild firsthand and found them wanting.
Elio's mind raced, his emotions a whirlwind of confusion and disbelief. He had built his guild, the Order of Valiance, with the vision of creating a powerful and united force within the game world. Yet, he knew beneath the veneer of strength, cracks had begun to form. The once-loyal members were now divided, their motivations suspect, and now it felt like a sinking ship. Of course, he realized all of it because of Sophia.
"You speak as if you've been watching us," Elio muttered, a shiver of unease coursing through him. How could an NPC have such detailed knowledge of their guild's inner workings? It was as if the Devil Emperor had a window into their virtual lives.
The Devil Emperor's eerie grin widened as if he relished the discomfort he was causing. "I've seen more than you can imagine," he whispered cryptically, his words sending a chill down Elio's spine.
Elio's desperation grew as he struggled to understand the gravity of the situation. Who was this enigmatic figure? Why was he exposing the guild's weaknesses? It was as though the boundaries of the game world were blurring, and Elio found himself caught in a surreal nightmare.
As the Devil Emperor's grip on Elio's virtual form remained unyielding, he continued his unsettling diatribe. "A great warrior shouldn't be blinded by affection," he remarked, his words laced with a peculiar blend of pity and scorn.
Elio's mind raced with a jumble of emotions. He couldn't deny the truth in the Devil Emperor's words, no matter how much they stung.
The Devil Emperor's eerie laughter echoed through the virtual realm, sending a shiver down Elio's spine. "But here's a gift, Paladin," he said with a sardonic smile. "Consider this your only warning. If you value your guild and your own pride, you'll need to change things. Find strength within yourself and use your logic, or your guild's demise will be inevitable."
With those ominous words, the invisible grip on Elio's virtual form released its hold, allowing him to stumble backward, free from the oppressive force.
Elio thought everything was over, but no. A second later, Elio's eyes widened in horror as he saw the dark figure draw his sword, a blade gleaming with sinister intent.
Before Elio could react, the Devil Emperor's sword slashed through the air with deadly precision. The blade sliced cleanly through Elio's virtual form, beheading him in one swift, brutal motion. It was as if time had frozen, and Elio's life within the game had come to a sudden, brutal end.
The virtual realm echoed with the sound of Elio's decapitated avatar collapsing to the ground.

"Next time, entertain me better… Paladin. A man blinded by love won't be able to defeat me," Allen said, followed by his evil chuckle. It was the last thing Elio heard.
