2nd Round Villain

85 – – 200, a goblin with a name.

The goblin, dragged by the Nioh’s hand and standing in front of me, hesitated. Upon closer inspection, their appearance was a little different from that of normal goblins. It wasn’t just the body that was stiff. Her nose is a bit small, and her eyes aren’t as fierce as those of normal goblins.

The goblin’s eyes were shining brightly. Those envy-filled gazes came as a burden to me.

“You… ! Go, strong… !”

The mutant goblin glanced around like a puppy pup. The corpse of the hero Claire, an elven archer, a human mage, a great warrior, and a girl priest… Each time it touched them, the goblin’s gaze hesitated for a moment.

“Those strong people… all dead… .”

He seemed a little shocked. After all, from that goblin’s point of view, humans must have felt like unapproachable monsters, but seeing them become cold corpses. Not even a shock.

“Hey, goblin friend.”

“yes yes!”

“Why are you suddenly polite? You used to speak in plain language.”

“That, that… ! Big, now I know that you are a great person… .”

“Well, it doesn’t matter if I say respect. Rather it… I hang out with goblins from a very long time ago.”

This is a fact that most people don’t know, but in fact, when the goblin race was first created, they weren’t the lowest level monsters they are now.

An eccentric but playful forest fairy. That’s the goblin that God created in the beginning.

Goblins in those days were friends of humans. He took care of various errands and chores in people’s homes. He was more friendly with humans than with dogs.

However, one day, one of the goblins played a very serious prank, and because of that, they bought the wrath of the main god and became a lower race like now.

that’s none of my business If God decided that, then I have to distort it.

“a moment ago… .”

The goblin gently parted its green lips. I reacted with delight.

“hmm?”

“Surely, you said you would make me ‘transcend species’?”

“You are a smart friend. I managed to remember that.”

“What do you mean? What kind of power do you have to evolve this inferior and ugly race… To be honest, I don’t understand.”

He spits out words that disbelieve my assertion, but the goblin’s green eyes are full of anticipation. It is an expectation that we would not have received if our party had not killed the warrior party.

“You don’t have to worry about that. If you have the will to transcend, and if you are prepared to follow my words unconditionally, then you will surely transcend.”

“Um… .”

“And, as I said earlier, you have to make a living, right? If you don’t believe me, what can you do by yourself? Try doing sit-ups for a hundred days and a thousand days. Can you surpass the inborn seed like that?”

“Uh… ! Oh no! I’ll follow you! I believe! I want to transcend!”

When I let go of the sting, the mutant goblin hurriedly knelt down on me. I grinned.

“Yeah, it should have come out that way. So from now on, I know that you will follow whatever I say, and let’s start by deciding on our names? Goblin friend, what’s your name?”

“Chwiik? name… Are you talking?”

“hmm? Ah, don’t goblins have names?”

“Ah, in the first place, it’s a species that can’t speak well… Usually when we call each other, we just say ‘this guy’ or ‘that guy’… profit.”

“That’s right. Then I’ll have to take this opportunity to build one that’s cool. By the way, why don’t you do that ‘chwiik’ thing if you can?”

“yes? uh, why… .”

He lifted his finger and turned it around. A purple circle was drawn in the air. Made by me for clarification.

“That ‘chwiik’ thing… Or the greed in your heart, the food… These are all the essence of the goblin species. If you want to transcend your species, you must shun all the inferiorities of that goblin.”

“Ahh… For that reason… .”

“If you think of this circle as a species called goblins, you are a small dot in it. You are still only a point in a circle, but you must go outside this circle in order to transcend your species. I understand?”

“yes! Wow, that makes perfect sense!”

The goblin nodded several times. I blew out the circle after blowing on it.

“That’s it… what should i say your name? Anything on your mind?”

“Well, what comes to mind… Because I’ve never thought about a name… .”

“Then I will decide. How about Benjamin? There is also something like Harold.”

“What do you mean?”

“Benjamin is lucky. You are the luckiest person because you met me. Harold is the victor. You will now win the victory over Fate and God… .”

“Um… .”

“I guess you don’t like it. Then how about this one?”

After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth. Actually, I wanted to give it this name from the beginning.

“Metatron. one who transcends You could call it ‘meta’ for short.”

“… ! Meh, Metatron… ! That’s my future name… !”

Metatron.

another week.

It is an existence comparable to the Lord, but the Church does not distance itself from Metatron. Because he is the one who made a covenant with the state. Some even refer to Metatron as an ‘angel’. This is because Metatron has angel wings on his back.

However, normal angels have two wings, and archangels such as Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel have six wings, but Metatron has as many as 36 wings on his back.

Metatron’s authority is absolutely absolute, and even the absolute strongest cannot disobey his will. Because of his strong power, some people suspect that he is the demon Belphegor, but that is not the case. I know.

Metatron was originally human. However, it possesses very powerful authority, and after realizing the ‘secret’ about the creation of the heavens and earth, it was chosen by the Lord and ascended to heaven. This is why he is different from ordinary angels even though he has angel wings. Even Metatron is not a servant of the Lord. If I had to define it, I would say ‘friend’.

That’s why I named the mutant goblin Metatron. Just as Metatron transcended the human body and was promoted to the same level as the main god, this goblin will also transcend species and become a god.

“How are the others? Meta, are you okay?”

“What? hard! The name is hard!”

“Isn’t that because your name is Aru? I don’t need the opinion of an animal that didn’t even come when the owner is in danger.”

“Cheer, what is it? Kwong Kwong Kwong! gone! I’m here to help!”

“Hey, is it? You came so quickly Thanks to you, I am hurt like this.”

At the same time as she spoke, she lifted her top to expose her stomach and chest. The wounds are all healed, but the scars remain on my bare skin. As soon as Aru saw it, he withdrew.

“Ki-ing… Who would have thought they were fighting… .”

“You should have followed me when I was told to follow you in the first place! You’re missing out on food.”

“Uh, there were circumstances that couldn’t be helped… !”

“What, are you talking back? Can’t you see the captain is hurt now?”

“Ki-ing… Sorry… kong.”

Whoops, it looks like it was properly tamed. With this, you can kill Aru’s spirit for at least 200 years.

“How are Sir Beatrice and Mr. John? Metatron, Meta for short. Doesn’t it suit you?”

“I feel good. That’s a cool name.”

“Kong? The big man likes everything. Why ask a big human?”

“Then shall we ask the mutt? Shut your mutt mouth.”

“Err… ! I’m not a mutt!”

“Who wants to see you as a mutt? Why would you stab yourself when no one singled out you? I was just telling all the mutts in the world. Oh, are you admitting that you are a mutt?”

“Oh no! I’m not a dog! Knock!”

I tried teasing Aru again, using the fact that I was trying to scold the king. After all, there is nothing in the world as good as Aru.

“Metatron… I remember reading it in the bible. A person comparable to the main god. Is that correct?”

“That’s right, because of that, some people call me a blasphemous devil. But that’s the celestial Metatron, and we’re trying to name the goblins now. How is it, Kyeong-eun?”

“As long as it is your lord’s will, anything is fine. God… I am ready to accept anything, my lord’s will.”

“… ?”

“Boo, don’t be shy! God just… It’s just that I’m ready… It means that I will gladly take on any difficult task, if it is the order of the lord.”

Spouting the words so politely, Beatrice covered her blushing face. Even if you say it, you feel ashamed. what is it, why are you like that

“uh… hmm… I just asked if the name suits you, and you answered grandiosely. I got it anyway. Then with this, unanimous approval!”

“Wait a minute! Leader, why don’t you ask me!”

The moment I was about to happily confirm the goblin’s name as Metatron, Uriel stopped me. I frowned and stared at her who interrupted me.

“Why is that?”

“Why do you say you passed! You haven’t even listened to my opinion yet!”

“Insectivores and beasts do not have the right to vote.”

“That, like that… !”

“I’m kidding, but do you have any complaints? will you object? Still nothing changes.”

I released the power in my eyes. Uriel sighed and continued talking, as if he was afraid of my glare.

“I am not against it. but… The name Metatron is a bit… .”

“Ah, come to think of it, Mr. Uriel was an archangel, right? So you might be familiar with Metatron? Are you uncomfortable using the name of someone you know?”

“… .”

“If you do, we just call it meta. Is that enough?”

“I don’t mean that, but… Whoa, let’s talk about this later.”

It seems that Uriel, like Beatrice, had some doubts. Damn, it’s bothering me. I need to release it as soon as possible.

Anyway, from now on, the mutant goblin’s name is ‘Meta’. A name that sticks in your mouth, even when I think about it, I think it was well-made.

“Okay, meta. Your name is Meta now. Are you fine?”

“yes! i like it! meta meta meta… I’m glad I got a name like a human!”

“All right. Now, it is time to clear the most important obstacle to making the meta a team.”

“… yes?”

He took out a magic wand from the inside pocket of his suit. I turned it into a dagger and held it out to Meta.

“cut.”

“Yes, yes, yes? I beg your pardon? Do you want to cut it?”

“Castrate your lower legs. It is your biggest stumbling block right now.”

“thing… It’s castrated… ?”

Meta looked at me and the dagger in disbelief. But I thought, ‘It’s actually a joke!’ He shouted something like that and did not put the sword back into his bosom.

“Meta, think about it. If you want to transcend the species, you must abandon all characteristics of the goblin species. okay?”

“… !”

“In other words, it means that you should not exercise your inclination. Not only should you not be in a relationship, but your mindset itself should be as if you were caring for a female. But can you do that now? I don’t know if I can hold on somehow right now, but eventually, as I get older and my body grows, my head will be dominated by s*xual desire? Unless you remove that source, you cannot move forward.”

“Uh, uh… .”

“Choose. Will you live as a goblin for the rest of your life? Or, would you like to transcend species and leave your mark somewhere beyond that? By the way, I’m not spouting lies. It’s your freedom whether you believe in me or not.”

If you don’t even have the resolution to castrate, unfortunately I will throw out the meta. It’s because a previous life is enough to take a guy who can’t see the buds and do nonsense.

“Uh, ooh… .”

Meta moaning as if it was difficult to make a quick decision. It will be difficult. Because there is no existence that can take lightly of s*x.

One, you have to bear it. If you can’t give up even this much, no, if you can’t trust me.

For at least the next 180 years, I will not be able to endure a life of quietly wiping dishes that will become gods.

“please… Should it be?”

“I am not forced. However, I will not be able to help you either.”

“… .”

A brief moment of silence ensues. Aru is rubbing her forehead on my knee, as if not understanding the heavy atmosphere, and Beatrice and Niwang, who understand the meaning of castration, watch us with bated breath. Uriel is restless as if he has something he wants to tell me from earlier.

The silence lengthens. I threw the dagger in front of the meta and coolly turned back.

“Don’t you like it? It’s a pity, it was an opportunity that will never come true again. I’ll go, bye! See you again!”

Aru and Beatrice, Nioh and Uriel also turned around after me. It was when I took exactly seven steps.

“… Now, hold on!”

Snip-.

“… ! ugh… ! I-please take me! There is no hope but you, only you!”

I smiled brightly and turned around. Meta, the goblin who will become a god in the not-too-distant future, knelt on the floor and clung to his bleeding pants.
