The S-Class Hunter Doesn't Want To Be A Villainous Princess - Chapter 22

There was a scene that appeared when she closed her eyes.

Endless lines of people and the monsters chasing after them. Creatures born and dying in the tower.

All these scenes created moments.

Moments when the value of life was at its lowest among all values. Moments when humans trample on other humans to survive.

But among them, there was a scene she hated the most.

The moment when a human sacrifices for the human who is most precious to them. The moment when they have to sacrifice.

Iyoung hated the scene that moment created.

"Young Lady. Are you okay?"

"Ah, yes."

At Cedin's call, Iyoung returned to Renee. Renee patted Cedin's head, who was looking at her with worry.

Cute.

She was now heading to the northern border of the Empire where the tower was discovered.

Using <Lord of Vicious Blood>'s method, she could go and return within two days, so she could leave without burden.

'With Sister Waves, it won't be hard to find the tower.'

It's uncomfortable to leave her position at this time, but she should be back soon.

She left the Capital abruptly, leaving Cyril to clean up after her.

'Ante will make a fuss when he finds out... but now that she's the Crown Prince's lover, he can't get angry as he used to.'

[The <Queen of Waves and Healing> advises you not to overdo it.]

'How can I not overdo it? It's not just any problem, it's the tower.'

Knowing what happens when it appears.

Renee was surprised to find that she hadn't completely lost her sympathy for humans.

She thought most of her human emotions had become too numb.

"Stroking another man's head in front of your lover. Shouldn't you at least keep basic manners, Renee?"

However, there was a voice that completely shattered Renee's sentiment.

A voice that seemed sweet, but was as cold as the northern border.

"That's only when we're in a real relationship. Ishir. Why are you following me and picking a fight?"

By the way, why did that kid follow her? She glared at the uninvited guest who had intruded unexpectedly.

But the uninvited guest himself didn't seem to care.

"Isn't it obvious? It's less likely to be talked about if I disappear with you, rather than you disappearing alone."

"It looks stranger for both of you to disappear."

At that moment, Cedin growled softly next to him.

When Renee nodded her head strongly in agreement, Ishir clicked his tongue as if displeased.

"By the way, your method is... faster than I imagined."

He's changing the subject because he's at a disadvantage.

[The <Lord of Vicious Blood> is angry that it's just beyond imagination.]

'Hold on. It's surprising that he even praised that much.'

Renee shrugged her shoulders. The three of them were heading north using the method Renee had taught as an attribute.

In fact, it was closer to the magic of <Lord of Vicious Blood> than a method...

If it wasn't for this method, it would have taken a week just to get there. She couldn't afford to waste that time.

'I wonder if I should teach this...'

She can't refuse to go with him.

'But it's surprising that he learned it right away, maybe because he's a sword master.'

[The 'Queen of Waves and Healing' detects traces of the tower!]

'What, you've already found it?'

Renee slightly changed her steps in the direction her constellation told her.

"Why are you changing direction?"

"Because what I'm looking for is over there."

"Isn't it time to tell me what you're looking for?"

"No, it's not."

"Renee..."

"Ishir. If you're annoyed, go separately."

Renee simply silenced his words and poured all her attention into the tower. As she walked, she really felt some energy. But...

'Something, it's not the feeling I knew?'

[The <Lord of Vicious Blood> says that two energies are mixed.]

[The <Queen of Waves and Healing> warns of a greater danger!]

[The <Emperor of Temptation> says both energies are familiar.]

'Yes. There really are two energies mixed... Both are energies I've felt somewhere before.'

One was the feeling she had always felt in the tower. The energy that craves strong corruption, desire, resentment, and despair. The energy that flowed from the <Master of the Tower>.

But the strange thing was the other energy.

'Something is very familiar but also unfamiliar and strange.'

But it's not a dangerous feeling. Why are two completely opposite energies coming in mixed right now?

"Young Lady, something is strange."

"...It's really strange."

It seemed that Cedin and Ishir also felt something. The two tried to embrace Renee at the same time, but their hands touched each other.

And at the same time, they took their hands off as if they were disgusted.

"Cedin. Renee is my lover, so please step back."

"Well, I came as a guard knight, so shouldn't I protect her?"

...What are they doing now? Are they going to fight with such a dangerous energy in front of them?

"Both of you, step back. I wonder who will protect whom."

Renee pushed both men aside.

She needs to focus now, on where are they touching.

"But the energy mixed with the divinity coming in is really threatening, Young Lady."

"...What did you just say?"

"Huh? It's really threatening...."

"No, before that. Did you say divinity? Is this what I'm feeling now, divinity?"

"Yes. It's at least the divinity of a bishop. It seems that the embassy of the temple arrived before us."

...Is that so? So that's why she felt it? Was it the divinity of the temple? But it felt more complicated than that.

[The <Queen of Waves and Healing> warns that you will meet people if you go in this direction.]

'What kind of people?'

[The <Queen of Waves and Healing> says it's a group of people with divinity.]

'It seems that the embassy of the temple really arrived first.'

She grabbed the hands of the two men on either side of her at the same time and stopped walking.

"If we keep going like this, we'll run into the embassy of the temple."

"So are we going to join them?"

"No. You two join them. I'm going to go alone and check it out."

"It's dangerous. No. Go with me."

When Renee tried to pull her hand out, Ishir held it tighter and shook his head.

"I'm sorry, but this is my business. It has nothing to do with you."

"It does. Isn't your business my business?"

Since when? Renee pushed Cedin's face away as he tried to lean in, pretending to be pitiful. No. Once fooled, twice fooled.

"If you guys are here, it's more annoying. If you wait, I'll find you. Bye!"

If one of you two gets attacked and dies, it will affect the quest. Renee let go of both men's hands at the same time and hid behind the water shadow created by the <Queen of Waves and Healing>.

"Young Lady!"

"Renee!"

Whether she heard the desperate voices of the two men calling her from afar, she quickly headed towards where she felt the energy of the tower.

After all, she had been matching the speed of the two men, so as soon as she let go of their hands, the gap quickly widened.

When she was sure she had gotten far enough, she unfolded <Lord of Vicious Blood>'s skill, Cheonrajimang.

Cheonrajimang was a skill that pursued the target and surrounded it so that it could never escape.

'Originally, several people unfold it... but I have spirits.'

The manpower can be replaced with water spirits.

She put out all the magic power she had.

Then, thousands of water spirits began to pursue the target according to her will.

[The <Queen of Waves and Healing> asks if you think of us as too comfortable manpower.]

'Let's focus.'

Certainly, there was an advantage in that she could use her power freely without Ishir and Cedin. If she had known this, she would have dropped them and come alone. Tsk.

Renee listened carefully to the voices of the spirits.

Then she heard the chattering of the spirits.

'There's nothing here.'

'Humans are hunting. Should we catch them?'

'Humans with divinity are wary of us.'

Various pieces of information flowed into her, but there was no particularly useful information, when-

'I feel an evil energy over here.'

Finally, the information she was looking for came in.

***

"Am I seeing this wrong? What I'm looking at... it's what I'm thinking, right?"

Renee muttered in despair.

[The <Lord of Vicious Blood> sighs deeply!]

[The <Queen of Waves and Healing> washes your eyes for you!]

[The <Emperor of Temptation> expresses condolences to you.]

'Ah, should I just give up?'

In front of Renee, who was thinking like this, there was a tower. To be precise, about 300 meters away.

But why despair to this extent? Wasn't she here for revenge?

'That's right.'

Until she knew it was this big!

'It seems to be twice as big as the tower in my previous life?'

And was it originally this black? It was always a dark feeling, but was it this blatantly dangerous black?

[The <Lord of Vicious Blood> says this place has become blatantly dangerous.]

"But with this scale, it seems like everyone will know soon?"

No matter how much they hide it in such a remote place, it seems like everyone will know soon.

'How will the kids in this world deal with this.'

The kids in her previous life were really confused because there was no manual at all. It got better later when she made her own manual and spread it...

'But it's a world where magic and swordsmanship were originally used and there were monsters, so it might be better.'

Renee observed the tower meticulously. It's getting taller, the area is getting wider, and it's turning blacker.

But something is strange.

'I can't see a single monster.'

Is it because it's far away and she can't see it? She cautiously approached the tower.

However, even when she got close enough to touch the tower, she couldn't see anything moving.

'Is it because it hasn't been activated yet.'

The tower in her previous life also didn't blatantly act until it was activated. It just exuded a dangerous aura.

'Even so, I don't feel any signs inside.'

She reached out and touched the surface of the tower. Then, the system notification window turned on immediately.

[A quest has occurred! Would you like to check it now? (Yes / No)]

Is this a choice? Of course 'Yes'.

<Sub Quest- Reconnaissance>

The eternal unknown world, the tower has also appeared in this world.

But it looks different from the towers you've seen before.

Why don't you go inside and check it out for yourself?

Clear Condition: Clear the 3rd floor of the tower

Clear Reward: Acquire Skill <Constellation Summon>

The quest content was as cruel as ever.

It's not just going in, but she has to reach the 3rd floor. It was almost the same as forcing to die.

'Wouldn't it be better to give me some information and send me?'

Damn system. Really, once she lives here without breaking a single quest, she should come to her senses.

'But this quest... I can't ignore it.'

[[The <Lord of Vicious Blood> sublimates his inner joy into vomiting blood!]

[The <Queen of Waves and Healing> sends you a subtle look of expectation!]

[The <Emperor of Temptation> begs you to summon him. This time, he promises not to ask for something like a soul.]

'If I do, I'll be killed by these excited constellations.'
