Should I Become a Villain?

Tyrone only needed one slash of his scythe to win, while Radmilo needed more than that to defeat him. The difference in their weapons was quite significant. That was what made Tyrone more confident than before.

Moreover, the weapon Radmilo used was not that strong from his perspective. The dagger could only deliver poison. It did not take Tyrone to be on guard since he was resistant to poison.

Nonetheless...

Why did Tyrone feel pressed despite having a powerful weapon? Radmilo dominated the fight several times with just the dagger and shield. Even though he had caused significant damage to the shield, he was dissatisfied.

Tyrone wanted to beat Radmilo right away like he always did to his enemies. However, the mysterious man was on a different level, as if he already knew his fighting style. He also believed his opponent had undergone rigorous training.

"Can you copy something from someone else? Like their stats," Tyrone asked during the fight.

Meanwhile, Radmilo protected his stomach from being stabbed by the tip of the death scythe. Tyrone appeared to regard his stomach as a weakness after he had been knocked back by a strike to his stomach.

"I don't need to copy someone else's to be strong," replied Radmilo, throwing his nearly shattered shield at Tyrone.

His opponent responded by destroying the shield in an instant. Tyrone immediately slashed his scythe to prevent Radmilo from taking out a new shield. However, that failed because Radmilo immediately ducked and took a new shield from his inventory.

"Then..." Tyrone spoke as he swung his scythe over Radmilo's head. When his attack was parried by the shield, he continued, "Did you go back in time? You seem to know a lot about me."

Radmilo tried not to change the expression on his face. He did not want to show himself this quickly to the IRO. However, the Sponsor had a conflicting will. It seemed his sponsor wanted to see him use both his force and brains.

"Why don't you add the 'Mind Reading' power to your list?" Radmilo flinched as Tyrone raised the death scythe aloft.

When the scythe slashed down, the trees around them immediately fell. Fortunately for Radmilo, he was able to dodge sideways for a split second before the slash moved toward him. His heart was pounding in his chest, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

Radmilo was certain that if he did not react quickly enough, he would die. He could not go back to the past if he died now. Tyrone's Barrier would block his power when he tried to activate <Spool Back>.

As a result, he was anxious for a while. Radmilo moved away from Tyrone, throwing his dagger as he did so. When they were so close, he could not throw the dagger because it was difficult to control.

Even so, he did not change his weapon, as the dagger was the best choice. Even though it was smaller than other weapons, it would not break easily. It was suitable for the scythe, which had an enormously destructive effect.

Tyrone, on the other hand, parried the dagger with his scythe. He was a little surprised because the dagger returned to Radmilo without taking any damage. What material was used to make a dagger that could counteract the death scythe?

For now, the IRO's undercover research team had found nothing that would make such a weapon. Tyrone came to two conclusions. The masked man had indeed returned to the past with all of his knowledge, or he could read the mind of anything, including inanimate objects.

"You don't need to think too much about me. You will lose focus because your mind will be distracted by many things," Radmilo spoke as he threw his dagger once more.

When Tyrone used the death scythe to block the dagger, Radmilo bolted and jumped to kick Tyrone in the head.

"You...!"

Tyrone did not have time to curse. He held his nose, which had been broken by Radmilo's kick. The masked man was extremely agile and took advantage when he deflected the dagger's attack. Thus, it was too late to use the death scythe, since Radmilo immediately backed off.

In his heart, he was relieved that Radmilo's kick did not strike his eye. Tyrone had been worried that his eyes would hurt since he used his eyes as a trigger for his power. When he was thinking about that, he heard laughter coming out of Radmilo's mouth.

"Ah, you already noticed it. I did target your eyes to make you stop using your power. That's why I chose this dagger," said Radmilo, throwing his dagger back at Tyrone.

At the same time, Tyrone managed to dodge the dagger. Now he knew why Radmilo was not chosen another powerful weapon to fight him. It turned out that the man already knew about the trigger and intended to destroy it with the dagger.

Before Tyrone could ask, Radmilo threw the dagger back. It happened so many times that he did not get a chance to speak. However, he got a golden opportunity to win the fight.

Radmilo suddenly caught the dagger and ran fast toward Tyrone. He really intended to make the ultimate attack now.

As soon as Radmilo jumped, Tyrone immediately gripped the death scythe with both hands. This time, he would create a powerful slash that his opponent would be unable to escape.

Tyrone was prepared when he realized his distance from Radmilo was closing. He then rushed to swing his scythe. However, before that could happen, something suddenly snatched the scythe from his grasp.

"Huh? What's that?" Tyrone muttered while staring at the tail of the snake that brought his scythe. He growled as he realized Radmilo had told Zivile to do that.

At the same moment, Radmilo dove down and pointed his dagger at Tyrone's eye. However, his plan did not go smoothly because Tyrone immediately grabbed both of his hands. When Tyrone kicked him in the chest, his grip was so tight that he could not move.

"Cougkhh!"

Radmilo puked up blood. As Tyrone threw another attack to his chest, he tried to remove his hand. Tyrone did not let go of his hands and continued to attack him at one point.

"You cunning bastard! You think you can win just because I lost my scythe?" Tyrone spoke while continuously attacking Radmilo's chest.

However, Radmilo ignored those words. He gripped his dagger tightly as that weapon was the final decider of this fight.

"Cunning, you say?" Radmilo laughed and then choked on his blood. He snorted before continuing, "Do you think we are MMA fighters? This isn't a boxing ring. I'm free to do whatever I want."

Tyrone growled. His angry glint became even more intense. Today, he would break that cunning man's heart. However, he was not ready for the power Radmilo suddenly unleashed.

The masked man managed to escape from his grip. Radmilo then pressed up against Tyrone's neck, knocking him to the ground. When that happened, he immediately strangled Tyrone and prepared to make his ultimate attack.

Unfortunately, Tyrone still wielded considerable power. He managed to hold Radmilo's hand just like some time ago. His grip was even tighter than before. He was certain he heard bones breaking while doing so.

Radmilo, on the other hand, bit his lip hard to direct the pain in his hands. Despite this, he could move his hands and close the gap between his dagger and Tyrone's eye.

[Warning!

If the damage received exceeds 90% then your healing rate will drop drastically!]

The notification had appeared since Radmilo had received an attack on his chest. However, he chose to ignore the warning from the system. He kept forcing his hands to reach the point he wanted.

"Do you really want to lose your hand?" Tyrone asked calmly. Now he was trying to get Radmilo off his body. Apparently, it was not easy.

"Don't worry," said Radmilo as he continued to move his hand down Tyrone's eyes. "I can handle it."

Tyrone scowled when he realized the dagger was millimeters away from his eyes. He could even see how sharp the tip of the dagger was. His gaze shifted to the bodyguards who were fighting against Zivile.

There was no way Tyrone would ask for help from them. He felt nervous because the dagger was right in front of his eyes. That was when he heard a voice from the other end, informing him that the security team had arrived.

Meanwhile, Radmilo hissed as the security team surrounded him at gunpoint. He put that aside and focused on his dagger.

Whether because he had good resistance or because he felt pressured, Radmilo was finally able to move his dagger to stab Tyrone in the eye.

"You son of a bitch! Argh...!"

As soon as the heartbreaking screams were heard, the security team immediately fired bullets at Radmilo.
