I've Become the King of Villains in the Game
Chapter 867 - 552 Flun Saves the Day

The battle on Sunny Xiaoyu’s side finally came to an end.

Qiu Guiyu tried to self-destruct at the last moment, attempting to take her down with him, but Sunny Xiaoyu had been studying magic with Teacher Jack for some time and had already mastered more spells.

With a casting of "Living Thing Traction," she moved him dozens of meters away. Following it with another "Magic Trap," she immobilized him on the spot, leaving this high-level player of the Chosen Squad dumbfounded as he helplessly watched himself get blown up by the "pineapple" in his hand.

As Sunny Xiaoyu panted heavily and quickly returned to the battlefield, she saw Polaris and the others assisting Raphael in battling those hunchbacked creatures.

The results, however, were disastrous.

Despite Raphael being a Sequence Five Transcendent, he was utterly defenseless against the enemy. No matter what skills he used, they were always interrupted by various unforeseen incidents, and the few attacks he managed to launch never hit their mark.

In short, Raphael, entangled in misfortune, was in a state of constant disadvantage. He had to be wary of everything around him, even a seemingly insignificant pebble on the ground.

The hunchbacked creatures’ staffs struck with immense force, accompanied by flickering green light. Each blow shattered the stone skin on Raphael’s body, causing him to spit blood.

Even with Polaris, Lucy, Felisiano, and Asoka helping, the actual effect was minimal... Instead, various mishaps injured their teammates.

Felisiano, while throwing a scroll, was accidentally blown away by a shockwave, falling heavily to the ground with severe injuries.

"Mr. Polaris, please take Felisiano and escape..."

Raphael turned his head and shouted to Polaris.

He had lost count of how many times he had used Historical Retrospection. His Physical Strength was nearly exhausted, and his cracked stone skin was on the cusp of complete collapse.

Though Raphael deeply regretted bringing Felisiano along, it was too late to change anything now... The mastermind wanted to drive them to desperation, and even if they survived this time, there would be no escape the next.

In his heart, Raphael was both resentful and helpless.

This was the cruel reality of the Mystic Realm.

At this moment, Raphael could only hope that his friends would survive while he bought them the last bit of time... With Polaris, a master of Destiny Sequence Six, the others’ chances of survival would be much higher.

Thud, thud, thud, thud!

Another series of heavy thumps sounded.

A dozen or so three-meter-tall hunchbacked creatures emerged from the surrounding coniferous forest, encircling everyone.

"Too many of them..."

Polaris’s pupils constricted slightly, feeling a sense of powerlessness.

These humanoid supernatural creatures called "Egg Hatchers" had physical attributes comparable to Sequence Six, and the eerie misfortune rays from the lanterns on their staffs made them unpredictable and insidious.

Polaris looked at his zeroed Luck Points and couldn’t help but smile bitterly. In this situation, his Magic Flying Cards were wildly inaccurate, wasting Physical Strength to no effect.

Bang!!

An ugly hunchbacked creature raised its staff and fiercely smashed it into Raphael, sending him flying and spitting blood. This time, he couldn’t stand up again.

"Mr. Raphael!"

In his blurred consciousness, Raphael heard Polaris’s call, but he could no longer respond.

Simultaneously, he saw the cemetery from his dreams once more...

In the dead silence, the massive and ancient coffin in the center seemed to be beckoning him.

Almost uncontrollably, Raphael felt his body moving forward, gradually nearing the coffin... Struggling and resisting, he ultimately chose to give up.

"I’m about to die, why should I care... I might as well take this chance to see what’s inside."

With a pessimistic mind, Raphael reached the coffin.

"Could the ancestors really be sleeping inside?"

With this question, he locked eyes with the tiny white snake on the coffin, then used his mind to push open the heavy coffin lid. His Sanity was rapidly depleting, but Raphael’s heart strangely felt a sense of relief and liberation.

But soon, his heart trembled.

Because...

The coffin was empty!

Rumble—

A fierce sound of something cutting through the air suddenly echoed in his ears.

Even the tiny stones beside his cheeks trembled.

Raphael’s consciousness was gradually pulled back. Lying on the cold ground, he vaguely saw a glaring light streak across the sky, like a shooting star.

Polaris, Sunny Xiaoyu, Lucy, Asoka, and Felisiano all looked up.

At that moment, a bold and unruly laugh boomed in the sky:

"Aha! War Knight Flun, here to help!"

The words had barely ended.

Boom!!

A figure crashed down, causing the ground of the deserted island to tremble.

From within the rubble and dust, a strong figure strode out.

He was bare-chested, wearing a round silver pot on his head, and held a cross-shaped greatsword gleaming with a cold light.

Seeing this, the stunned Sunny Xiaoyu immediately showed an expression of joy, unable to stop herself from shouting:

"Mr. Flun!"

After a year, she finally met this NPC who had changed her destiny again. Sunny Xiaoyu’s heart was filled with joy.

Though it seemed ridiculous, she truly felt a fan-like enthusiasm, as if meeting an idol, and was unable to contain her excitement.

"Less talk, let me slay the villains first, then we’ll drink together!"

The hearty voice came from the silver pot.

Immediately, they saw a sudden burst of white light, making everyone instinctively squint their eyes...

It was Flun raising his sword!

A clear chiming sound.

Deep purple flames rose on the cross-shaped greatsword, like blazing fire... The twenty-some hunchbacked creatures babbled strange, panicked utterances at the sight.

In an instant, Flun slashed several times, his afterimages overlapping, creating a dazzling spectacle. Sword Qi, like crescent moons in the night sky, swept through, flying outward—

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

The moonlight shone upon them, shattering them like broken mirrors, and countless straight sword marks emerged from these creatures.

In an instant, a burst of light filled the air.

The next second.

The grotesque faces of the hunchbacked creatures froze. Their bodies shattered into countless pieces, scattering to the ground with a crackling noise. Not even a trace of soul energy remained in their remains; they were utterly and completely dead.

The War Knight maintained the posture of holding the sword in both hands, the blade resting against the Silver Pot, its tip pointing straight to the sky... The purple moonlight reflected on the Silver Pot, presenting a breathtaking starry sky scene.

"Hahahaha..."

He suddenly laughed, casually flinging the Cross Sword back into the scabbard on his back.

Click!

A deadly silence blanketed the scene.

Everyone present, except for Sunny Xiaoyu and Polaris, found this sudden strong presence unfamiliar.

"So, Flun’s strength is this formidable..."

Polaris was secretly astounded.

He had originally thought that the other party was just a mysterious merchant-like NPC, at most mid Sequence level, but now it seemed he was completely wrong. This was the strength of a high-ranking figure!

It couldn’t be mistaken...

In a single move, twenty-odd "Egg Hatchers" were killed instantly. Ordinarily, a Sequence Five Transcendent couldn’t achieve that!

Polaris tentatively used Scout, but the information he received shocked him—

[War Knight - Flun (Jack Spett’s Incarnation)]

"Teacher?!"

Polaris couldn’t help but shout.

This shout left not only Sunny Xiaoyu stunned but also Raphael and the others...

"You, you are Your Majesty Jack Spett?"

Raphael returned to his original form, drank an alchemical potion to heal his wounds, struggled to his feet, and said nervously.

Lucy and Asoka helped Felisiano up together. Along with Sunny Xiaoyu on the side, everyone cast nervous yet delighted glances.

"Uh..."

The burly man touched the smooth Silver Pot on his head, slightly awkwardly, while a muffled voice emitted from within:

"I’m not your teacher..."

He said, crossing his arms and standing upright.

His tone became lofty:

"I am one of the Four Knights of Destiny who serve under the ’White Scale Dragon’ Jack Spett, the War Knight, Flun!"

The students looked at each other in confusion.

Among them, Polaris was particularly perplexed. The panel clearly indicated it was an incarnation of Teacher Jack, but this Lord Flun refused to acknowledge it... However, thinking back, he indeed felt that the other party’s actions and words didn’t resemble their teacher.

Of course, what Polaris didn’t know was that although Flun was an incarnation of Chen Lun, he not only inherited the prowess in swordsmanship but also possessed an independent personality.

Flun could be considered part of Jack, but he wasn’t truly Jack... and this was something Flun would never explain.

"Mr. Flun! We’ve met again!"

Sunny Xiaoyu blushed and ran forward.

"Thank you very much for your assistance!"

In fact, she had started recording shortly after Flun appeared. As the president of the "Little Silver Fox" guild, the guild sisters all liked this NPC. Meeting him again wasn’t something she would miss sharing.

Of course, what excited her even more was the real identity of the other party... who was actually their teacher, Jack Spett!

Even though the other party insisted he was just a follower of their teacher, she couldn’t be fooled because the panel clearly stated otherwise!

"Hahaha, indeed, we meet again..."

Flun crossed his arms and laughed heartily.

"Since you are students of His Majesty Jack, protecting you is simply my duty."

Raphael, standing aside, seemed to recall something. He glanced back at his friend, Felisiano, who was bandaging his wounds after drinking his potion, then stepped forward hesitantly and bowed to Flun.

"Your Majesty Flun, I apologize if this request is rude, but... I beg you to help save Felisiano. He’s been marked by someone and is constantly facing misfortune and danger."

"Raphael..."

Felisiano was taken aback.

Flun silently observed the two, gaining an understanding in his heart.

Far away in the academy, Chen Lun’s true form witnessed everything through Flun’s eyes.

’It seems the one manipulating Felisiano is actually targeting this young man named Raphael Mitchell. But what do they hope to gain by pushing him into a desperate situation through his close friend and coincidences... Hmm? The Mitchell family...’

Chen Lun pondered.

At this moment, Flun suddenly spoke with a burst of hearty laughter:

"Your name is Raphael Mitchell, correct? My friend."

"Yes, Your Majesty... just call me Raphael,"

Raphael responded with a mix of honor and surprise.

Flun nodded gently, gave his shoulder a firm pat, making Raphael wince in pain but manage a smile.

"First, tell me your story. Come, on such a beautiful night, we should have a good drink!"

With that, the burly Silver Pot-headed man pulled out several bottles of strong liquor, pouring drinks for the men present. He even thoughtfully prepared fruit juice for the ladies like Asoka and Lucy.

Sunny Xiaoyu timely brought out her magic wand and cast a "Campfire Magic." A warm flame rose in the nightfall.

Gathered around the bonfire, Raphael hesitated briefly, then gritted his teeth, took a sip of the strong liquor, and began to recount his years of torment by nightmares...

After a while.

Everyone was shocked by Raphael’s story, secretly admiring his willpower and resilience, while also feeling a sense of reverence for the Mitchell family’s ancestor.

At this moment, Flun, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly let out two hearty laughs.

He turned and warmly placed his large hand on Raphael’s shoulder, speaking in a tone that brooked no refusal:

"Take me to see your ancestor."
