How did I turn my victim into a phoenix-like hero?

Page 45

Sirocco was somewhat shocked.

Even if we don't say "In order to protect what must be protected, we will use whatever we can, whether it is light or darkness," it should at least be "In order to protect the person, I must become the strongest."

The result was "Fighting, awesome!"?

...Never mind, the goal is to solidify Cass's beliefs.

Ultimately, all that's needed is a thin veil for the Minotaur.

It's probably an additional setting added after the game was set in the real world, just like how Kass suddenly developed a liking for watching Pretty Cure.

"Okay, I understand. Also, don't talk with a red face, it's disgusting."

"You told me to say that, Sirocco! Please don't make that disgusted face!"

Sirocco rubbed his temples, composed himself, and responded seriously:

"I have indeed received your determination. Never forget your original intention, no matter what."

"Of course! Thank you, Sirocco. I feel much better now that I've figured it out."

"That would be perfect. I'll teach you how to level up quickly."

"No problem, no matter how tough the training is, I believe I can get through it."

Cass's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

"Okay, then take off your clothes first."

"Okay!...Wait a minute?"

Cass's face turned bright red, and he crossed his arms over his chest: "Why did you take your clothes off?! Are you a pervert? A sex harasser?"

If a cute young girl said this, it would be quite adorable, but you're a guy...

Sirocco's face darkened. Ignoring the strange reaction, he suddenly realized something and looked behind Cass.

At level 8, one can hear oneself to some extent.

The sounds of metal rubbing together, multiple footsteps, and laughter.

Years of honing his pure-hearted warrior instincts, the Minotaur's radar is issuing a warning.

The visitor is not good.

"Sorry, I misspoke. You don't need to take off your clothes."

"Ha... I knew it! What does cultivation have to do with taking off clothes..."

"Take it off later."

"Eh?!"

Sirocco used a combination of pushing and pulling to hide Cass behind the rock.

“A guest has arrived without an invitation. Cass, listen carefully: without my orders, no matter what happens, you absolutely must not come out, absolutely.”

Cass looked puzzled, and then swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Sirocco's Lv8 aura and undeniable presence made Cass nod in agreement.

Just as Sirocco left his hiding place, trying to peek at who the person was...

The other party stepped around the corner and appeared in groups.

At the same time, Sirocco made eye contact with the other party's leader.

"Boss, that guy with hair as long as a woman's looks like he's the worst student in Class F."

"I can see it."

The leader had his red hair cut into a neat buzz cut, his eyes were sharp and almost narrowed into slits, and his lips curved downwards into a smile. He was clad in plate armor made of steel, and his weapons were two-handed gauntlets.

Cliff, the C-class thug who challenged Cass to a duel.

Ahhhhhh....

Sirocco felt an endless sense of annoyance.

This floor is so big, why did you have to appear here?!

Running into Cliff was not part of Sirocco's plan; at this point in the game, Cass and Cliff hadn't met yet.

It's that one, right?

Just like Stand users are attracted to each other, so too are protagonists and villains attracted to each other.

In short, we must prevent Cass and Cliff from running into each other and try to maintain the main storyline as much as possible.

Sirocco gave Cass, who was hiding, a resentful glance.

"well........"

Whatever.

Sirocco is pretty much used to it.

Plans can't keep up with changes.

Cliff wasn't in the current plans, but if we really had to deal with him...

It's not that difficult.

Cliff stood about 10 meters away from Sirocco, sizing him up, arms crossed.

"Sirocco. The last in Class F, and also the last in the entire school."

“You’ve mistaken me for someone else. I’m an explorer passing through here, named Wolf Gunbrad.”

“My memory isn’t that bad. When Norius was selecting people for Class F, you were one of them.”

This guy, even though he usually squints, I can still recognize him.

Cliff said to himself:

"Our team's Norius has received a lot of help from you, I'll give you a choice..."

"Excuse me, there's something that's bothering me."

Sirocco couldn't help but point at Cliff's strangely scarred face:

What happened to your face? Did you get bitten by an animal trap?

Cliff, as strong as a rock, could be heard clenching his teeth even 10 meters away, with veins bulging from his neck to his face.

Huh? Why is this guy suddenly angry?

"Hey, this kid is really arrogant, how dare he bring that up."

The underlings whispered among themselves.

"It was all because of that sudden earthquake that day, which caused the boss to be bitten by the dead tree spirit. He's been very concerned about this matter ever since; it's a sensitive issue."

"The main problem is that the bites from the dead tree spirits are poisonous, and the scars can't be completely removed right now. For the boss, this is a mark of utter shame."

Cliff turned and glared at them, and the remaining three henchmen shut their mouths.

Cliff gave the order:

"Lal, open it."

Ral—clad in a dark blue robe covered with scales, holding a staff, bent down and took out a square box-shaped object with an amethyst inlaid in the center from his bosom. He placed it at his feet and then tapped the amethyst with the bottom of his staff.

A layer of pale purple gauze swirls out and covers the space, forming a dome-shaped space with a radius of 100 meters.

"Static Barrier..."

Sirocco whispered.

Using these decoy props, these guys are about to start their "hunt".

The barrier deployment item costs 6000 RMB each. Its best feature is that no matter how much you shout inside the barrier, people outside won't hear or see you.

The biggest drawback is that someone has to constantly generate magic to maintain the barrier, like that guy named Ral...

It's easy to see from Cliff's sharp and contemptuous gaze that Shilock is the "prey".

"Is it really necessary? I'm the worst explorer in the whole school. Is it really necessary to use this kind of barrier against me? And why are you looking for me? I haven't done anything to you, have I?"

"Sirocco, you're so unlucky."

Cliff seemed to be delivering a judgment:

“I have no problem with Norius losing to you. But that guy is my subordinate, and it would be embarrassing for me, as the boss, to lose to you at level 2.”

"Your pride is worthless, you scum. This barrier has no effect on monsters; it's specifically designed to target humans. Do you want me to list all the beastly things you've done with this barrier?"

With his rock-like appearance and seemingly serious demeanor, Cliff is the kind of daring and cunning scoundrel.

In the game, he would lure new female explorers into dungeons to level up under the pretext of grinding monsters. Once the monsters were nearly defeated, he would set up a barrier and use the monsters' special skills to play some unusual games.

No matter how you call out, no one will notice.

You're a really nice person... Ugh!
