I Became a Villain's Hero [Complete]

Chapter 74: Doubt (7)

Stella's hideout was becoming a mess.

An excited Tryno was destroying everything.

"Uaaaaah!!"

-Bang!!

He wasn't using his powers, but everything his fists touched got ruined.

Since the hideout was underground, the ceiling shook as if it would collapse whenever he threw a tantrum.

The mission had failed.

Shockingly, Solace had withstood the onslaught until the end.

"I...! I didn't win...?"

No words could calm Tryno down.

He didn't even try to treat the burns he had received from the battle with Solace.

But this was somewhat expected by Stella. She had thought this might happen.

The mission was carried out even though the chances seemed slim.

She had thought Solace wasn't strong enough yet.

...But that was not the case.

The legendary hero did not fall so easily.

Solace was always Solace.

Stella fiddled with a dice in her pocket.

The more this happened, the more she missed his presence.

Just as Solace was an indomitable hero.

He, too, was an unyielding villain.

...Where could he have gone?

Why doesn't he show himself?

Could there have been an unpredictable, significant change?

Like how Luna's legs were fine.

Though... it was never known when Luna's legs got damaged.

Caution is needed moving forward.

-Bang!

Tryno, having thrown his last fit, left the hideout.

Liquid headed to his room as well.

Riem also disappeared from sight.

Only Luna and Stingshot were quietly sitting at the round table.

Stella needed time.

She wished everyone would leave.

"...Luna, you should go back now, too."

"...How did it fail?"

Luna asked.

Her voice contained a frustration similar to Tryno's.

But getting annoyed wouldn't change anything for Stella.

If it weren't for Luna, she would have avoided a direct confrontation with Solace.

"..."

Seeing herself start to blame others, Stella shook her head.

Just like him, she shouldn't make excuses.

"...Solace was stronger than we expected. I'm sorry. It's my fault."

"We're not giving up, are we?"

Giving up or not, Solace could no longer be captured.

Not without the help of someone special.

...She had to wait for him to appear.

That was the only way now.

"If we can't destroy Solace...I'm going to leave."
