The Main Character is the Villain

"Ha, fuck."

Eve swung her sword wildly in the air and took a step back. Thanks to her, the hero was able to regain his composure. I grabbed the mermaid's hair, aimed my mace at her head, and spoke.

"Drop your weapon."

I was praying this threat would work as intended. To be honest, I wasn't confident I could subdue Eve even if I fought with a hostage. It was a waste to kill her, but subduing her without taking damage would be too great a loss. Backing down was the best option for both of us. Eve tapped the deck with her sword and looked at me.

"My weapon? And if I don't? What the fuck are you going to do if I don't? Go on, kill her. I dare you. You think I'm doing this because I can't beat you? The moment my mom dies, you're all fish food. Got it? Let's see if you're so confident fighting underwater."

Eve said, pointing at the sea. She was right. The moment that crazy bitch entered the water, we would have no way to catch her. It's hard to win an underwater battle against a mermaid. Moreover, this bitch wasn't just any mermaid;

she was an Aquaman-level mermaid who could smash a ship without equipment. The moment I killed this mermaid, there was a high possibility this bitch would destroy the ship and drag us into an underwater fight.

"Go on in."

But I couldn't back down here. The moment I got scared and dropped my weapon, I would become an impotent person. If I lost this verbal argument, I would die, so I couldn't possibly retreat. The hero stood between Eve and me, constantly assessing the situation. I tapped the mermaid's vulva with my mace and said.

"Go on in. I'll fucking shove this mace right in there."

"Ha, fuck. This is amusing." But Eve didn't seem to want the mermaid to die either, as she didn't take any action. A strange stalemate was forming. Just as the hero had said, there was room for negotiation. The crew members were stealthily emerging from all over. Seeing them dawdling, Eve got angry.

"Fuck! What are you bitches doing? Get to work!"

The crew members hesitated and stopped their movements. They were conflicted. From what I'd seen, these crew members hadn't become sailors of their own free will. They were undoubtedly forced to work as sailors due to lesbian rape and terrifying threats. And now, the final opportunity to possibly defeat Eve was right before their eyes.

Eve ruffled her hair, suppressing her anger. She looked back and forth between me and the hero, then held up a finger and said.

"I'll only say this once. If you let my mom go, I'll let you, the priest, leave. I'll give you a ship, so get out of here on your own. AA? You fucking bastard, if you drop your weapon now, I'll grant you forgiveness without cutting off your arm. Stop that fucking resistance. Got it?"

"I refuse."

I answered before the hero could. I started rubbing the mace against the mermaid's vulva. As the cold metal made contact, the mermaid began to let out a subtle moan. Eve freaked out and screamed.

"Fuck! Try anything else! I'll pull out your guts while you're still alive and pickle them in salt! And you, you fucking AA, I'll really cut off your limbs and fuck you like a dog! Do you hear me? Do you understand me, you sons of bitches! Drop your weapons and let my mom go!"

But she didn't enter the water. No matter how strong that bitch was, me wringing the mermaid's neck was faster than her destroying the ship. Eve herself knew it would be too late to retaliate, so she couldn't carelessly jump into the water.

"What are you doing, you sons of bitches! Get to work!"

The moment Eve's impatience showed, the authority she ruled with through fear began to crumble. The crew members started looking back and forth between me, AA, and Eve with dazed expressions. And at that moment, the hero opened his mouth.

"You must not be afraid."

At those words, Eve, who had been spewing insults, shut her mouth. She took a step forward toward the hero. The hero caught his breath and spoke again.

"Everyone. We can all survive. If you help us, we can definitely do it."

"Ha, fuck, has this bitch lost her mind? What are you fucking bitches doing! Go work or get your asses below deck! You want to die after this is over?"

"You all want to go home, don't you? We can send you back. How long has it been since you've been to your hometowns? A year? Two years? We will send you back. We can send you back!"

"You fucking bitches! Fuck off! All of you, get below deck! You fucking p—"

Bang!

The muzzle flashed. Eve looked toward the direction of the gunshot with a panicked expression. One of the crew members was holding a gun, trembling. The bullet she fired made a small hole in the ship's wall. Eve looked at her with an absurd expression and let out a dry laugh.

"Ha, fuck."

"I, I..."

The sailor was trembling. But she did not back down. Firming her quivering legs, she spoke to Eve.

"I-I want to go home! I fucking want to go home! You fucking bitch!"

She stuffed gunpowder into the gun once more. Eve had the strength to break her neck before she could fire. The moment she took a step forward and reached out for the sailor, the crew members on deck began to rush Eve all at once.

"Give me back my husband, you fucking bitch!"

"Send me home! I've done enough!"

"I can't live like this, just cleaning up castrated corpses! I'm going home!"

Hands rushed her from all sides. Eve shook them off, creating a momentary opening. A very brief opening, but for the hero, AA, it was more than enough time. He took a step forward, thrust his curved sword out, and lowered his waist.

In the next moment, AA's body lunged at Eve with the speed of lightning. The crew members clinging to Eve were sent flying in all directions with a thump. AA's blade pierced through Eve's stomach and emerged from her back.

"Ugh...!"

Eve looked at AA with a bewildered expression. I knocked the mermaid on the floor out again with a hard punch and then rushed at Eve. I decided not to worry about things like forced submission training or making her a slave for now. My survival came first.

With her stomach pierced, Eve glared at AA with eyes full of emotion. Her empty hand held a gleaming blade. She tried to forcibly push the hero away, but the hero who had closed in on Eve had no intention of backing off. Eve looked at the hero with an expression mixed with pain and bewilderment. A line of blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. I held a mace in each hand.

"You... fu... ck...!"

"Eve!"

I shouted. My mace was pointed directly at Eve. Eve stopped trying to swing her sword at AA and looked at me.

"I declare you as Evil!"

A ding sound effect rang out as a new window appeared above Eve's head.

[Inquisitor]

You can declare a target as Evil or Dark attribute.

You deal double damage to and receive half damage from targets with the Evil or Dark attribute.

And I charged at Eve. Simultaneously, AA pulled out his sword and rolled to the side. From the shock of the sword being pulled out, Eve clutched her stomach and fell to her knees. Blue blood soaked the floor.

I swung the mace with all my strength at the kneeling Eve. Eve's eyes watched the mace swinging toward her. It seemed she was reminiscing about the old days. A faint light momentarily filled her eyes.

Clang!

But I didn't care about her circumstances. This bitch was just a motherfucker who tried to take my woman. Hit by the mace, Eve shot away like a bullet. She crashed into a corner of the ship, destroying about half of the deck.

"Keuk..."

And yet, Eve was still alive. I caught my breath and checked her condition. Blue blood was streaming down from her head. I had thought her actions weren't those of a human with the same blood as me, but her blood color was truly different. She flailed her hands in the air and muttered.

"Mom..."

The crew members were hugging each other and crying. AA threw ropes for the sailors who had fallen into the sea. I could see the mermaid on the floor staring at Eve with a dazed expression. The mermaid was slowly crawling toward Eve. I didn't bother to stop her. The mermaid grabbed Eve's hand tightly, hit her head on the deck, and fainted.

"Fucking bitches."

I muttered so softly that it couldn't be heard. So that Eve couldn't do anything even if she woke up, I tightly bound her arms and legs several times with chains I brought from below deck. And just in case, so I could kill her the instant she broke the chains, I held my mace and watched her. All the way until we arrived.

Fortunately, Eve didn't properly regain consciousness until we arrived at the port.

Eve's pirate ship caused a huge commotion at the port. Worried voices and warning broadcasts echoed from all sides, questioning if the pirate crew had finally invaded. Only after hearing shouts to turn back or they would open fire did AA and I reassure the marine guard corps by showing them the tightly bound Eve.

Eve said.

"Let my mom go. I'm the one who killed them all. I seduced and killed them;

my mom never killed anyone."

"I don't know about that."

"Let her go. I'll pay the price for my sin. Fuck, is it a crime for a mermaid to kill a mermaid hunter? My mom is innocent, so let her go!"

While AA handed over the supplies found on the ship to the guard corps, Eve spoke to me. I shook my head. Seeing the crew members have a seizure at the sight of the mermaid, that bitch must have also participated in the murders. In the first place, she was confirmed as an accomplice the moment she was masturbating in front of the corpses. Eve ground her teeth and glared at me. I just found her glare laughable.

"Are mermaids that expensive? Enough for hunters to be roaming around?"

"Because it makes money, a mermaid's blood is... hold on, fuck, you don't mean..."

Eve stared at me with a shocked expression. Why was this bitch surprised that I was engaging in the legal mermaid trade, while not thinking about the people she killed? I was planning to pass off the unconscious mermaid to the guild master as the true culprit of this incident by telling a lie.

The guild master was sharpening his knives, so he'll take care of it. Mermaids were an all-purpose race whose meat could be eaten, blood could be used, and bodies could be used as tools to satisfy sexual desire. They were just hard to catch due to their rarity and high intelligence, but there was a lot of demand if you caught one.

And a half-breed of such a mermaid belonged to a very precious and rare kind. Now that I've caught her, I intended to take our Eve all the way to my territory.
