NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 769: Spice Of Life
Villain Ch 769. Spice Of Life
Allen observed the flurry of activity around him, his expression carefully neutral despite the tumult of emotions swirling within him. He couldn't help but feel a twinge of annoyance at the sudden formation of a group without his input. 'Why did they suddenly form a group without asking me?' he mused inwardly, his thoughts tinged with frustration.
Despite his efforts to maintain a cool facade, he couldn't deny the pang of discomfort that gnawed at him from within.
However, amidst his internal turmoil, Allen couldn't deny the novelty of the situation. As someone who played the role of the villain in the game, he found himself unexpectedly enjoying the camaraderie of being part of a team. It was a welcome change from the usual solitude of his solo hunting, and he couldn't help but acknowledge the allure of having different teammates by his side.
Azura noticed Allen's subdued demeanor and leaned in close to him, her voice a gentle whisper amidst the chatter of their companions. "If you disagree, just say it," she murmured, her words carrying a note of concern. She remembered that Allen was typically a solo player, and she didn't want him to feel uncomfortable or out of place amidst the group.
After a moment of contemplation, Allen turned to Azura with a shrug. "I don't mind," he finally declared, his tone casual. Despite his initial reservations, he figured it wouldn't hurt to tag along with the group. Plus, it could be an opportunity to learn more about their fighting styles and tactics.
Allen thought that it would be odd to refuse to hunt with them, especially since they were all in the same game together. He didn't want to come off as exclusive or standoffish, and showing a willingness to collaborate with others from time to time seemed like the right move.
Sure, he preferred the freedom and independence of solo hunting, but he understood the importance of occasionally joining forces with other players. Besides, who knows? Maybe he'd even enjoy the experience more than he expected.
Allen scanned the group, his gaze lingering on Red_King and the others. "Yeah, it's just... I've never hunted with them before," he admitted, his tone thoughtful. "I don't know their fighting style or what they usually do in a battle," he explained, feeling a sense of uncertainty about the upcoming hunt.

He understood the importance of teamwork in a game like this. After all, victory often hinged on how well players coordinated with one another. That's why many players preferred to stick with a permanent group rather than constantly changing teams. In a close-knit group, players could memorize each other's fighting styles, making their movements more synchronized and their cooperation smoother.
Despite his reservations, Allen knew that joining forces with Red_King and the others could be a valuable learning experience. After all, variety was the spice of life, right? Plus, it could be a chance to expand his horizons and pick up some new strategies along the way.
Arcana's sudden suggestion sparked a ripple of excitement among the group as they discussed the possibility of venturing into the haunted forest. "What about the haunted forest?" Arcana proposed, his tone brimming with pride and confidence. A smug smile played across his lips as he awaited their response.
Father^Alex's eyes lit up with enthusiasm at the mention of the mysterious locale. "Oh, I heard there are lots of mysterious monsters there," he chimed in, his voice filled with anticipation for the adventure that lay ahead.
However, Bored Hunter's expression darkened at the mention of the haunted forest. "Isn't there a cemetery there?" he asked, his voice tinged with fear. "Does that mean there will be ghosts?" His apprehension was palpable as he voiced his concerns.
Red_King nodded in agreement. "Yes, there are ghost monsters in haunted areas," he confirmed. "But they usually drop valuable loot," he added, attempting to reassure Bored Hunter and alleviate his fears.
Arcana couldn't resist adding his own comment. "I wonder if that last ghost woman came from there," he remarked slyly, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "I mean, she was kind of beautiful," he added with a playful smirk.
Red_King couldn't help but cringe at Arcana's comment, his discomfort evident in his expression as he spoke up. "She's a ghost-type monster, man," he interjected, shaking his head incredulously. "Are you crazy? Or did you forget how she screamed like a lunatic?" His tone was laced with disbelief at Arcana's apparent lapse in judgment.
Arcana, undeterred by Red_King's reaction, grinned mischievously as he countered, "Her second form is a no-no. But her first form, with her pale skin and all, that's really my type." His expression softened slightly as he spoke, revealing a hint of genuine interest beneath his playful facade.
However, Arcana's grin faded as he continued, acknowledging the shortcomings of the ghostly maiden. "Except for the scream, of course," he conceded, his tone more serious now. "And she definitely needs more personality," he added, his voice tinged with disappointment at the lack of depth in the creature's character.
'Right... now they're starting to talk about hunting grounds without me,' Allen thought, inwardly cringing at the realization. It was a classic move from guild leaders, always taking charge and making decisions without consulting everyone else first. He glanced around at the group, noting the animated discussions and the way Arcana and Red_King seemed to be leading the conversation.
Red_King's keen observation didn't go unnoticed as he caught sight of Allen's expression. Clearing his throat, he interrupted the ongoing discussion with a pointed remark. "Guys, I think we forgot this is Allen's group and we haven't asked him anything," Red_King declared, his tone carrying a hint of apology for the oversight.
Turning his attention towards Allen and Azura, who had remained conspicuously silent throughout the conversation, Red_King sought their input. "Where do you plan to hunt?" he inquired, his tone now inclusive and attentive.
Allen took a moment to consider their options before responding. "We were planning to choose between orc territory or Mutant Island," he revealed, his voice steady as he shared their deliberations with the group.
