15 – The Villain, Rose Van Damien (7)

Is it because it was my first time cutting a person?

Or is it because something I believed in collapsed?

I don’t know why, but her heart is pounding as if it’s going to explode and a slight fever rises throughout her body.

“Let me ask you just one question.”

“As much as you want.”

When I raised my sword and asked, Jetty raised the corners of her mouth and nodded her head.

“Why on earth is that like that?”

“Why, it’s because I wanted to do this.”

“···Is that all?”

“Well, there’s revenge and all that, but I don’t think I have time to even say that.”

Jetty shrugged her shoulders in response to my question and glanced behind her.

“You are a brave friend. “How arrogant of you to come and disrupt the party I’m throwing.”

There, I saw Kayden standing up from his seat and raising his mana.

“Everyone be careful. “Seeing as he cut down Jackson and Daniel in one fell swoop, he wasn’t an ordinary person.”

“It’s because they let their guard down.”

“Wait a minute, those two idiots are dead, so it’s my turn next, right? Let’s deal with it quickly and get on with what we were doing.”

The beasts in front of him were also approaching me, each holding their own weapon.

Because I couldn’t ignore this, I quickly assessed the opponent’s power.

Count Cayden, his 7 subordinates, and even Jetty.

There are a total of 9 people I have to deal with.

‘Can we kill them all?’

A question that naturally arises. Can I protect Rose against those knights?

‘No.’

The correct answer to that question was quickly derived.

I don’t know if I can kill them all, but I won’t be able to keep Rose safe.

The reason I was able to hit the neck of the guys holding Rose’s shoulders just moments ago was because they were let down.

But those guys with mana wrapped around their bodies are not like that.

Even though Kayden was a 5th circle wizard, Jetty was at least a sword expert level based on his felt energy.

‘About 10 minutes at most.’

On the other hand, I only had a short amount of time to maintain my physical condition enough to face them.

After that, all acceleration and strengthening magic applied to the body will be released.

‘For now…’

I guess it’s because it’s an urgent situation.

The calculator was tapping rapidly in my head, and my body was moving reflexively.

‘Secure Rose first.’

I rushed to the spot where Rose fell and swung her sword.

-Chaaa!

“Ugh!”

Then, a knight falls backwards with the sound of flesh being split by the sword.

‘After reducing the number of people as much as possible.’

I didn’t have time to check the condition of the guy I cut.

Because, a mace was coming towards my head.

-Booooong.

As she leaned back and dodged the mace, a sound was heard right above her face.

The wrist holding the mace is visible. Without hesitation, I raise my sword.

-Suddenly.

The wrist holding the mace floats in the air.

“aaah!”

“···!”

Then, the cries of the one-armed man are heard, and the faces of the knights are seen filled with astonishment.

Just as I was about to swing the sword horizontally, I felt something from the side.

-Chaaa!

When you cut something, fireballs cut in half on both sides of the blade scatter in the air.

“Hoo.”

What I cut was the fire magic Count Kayden threw at me.

‘I have to run away.’

This time, I see a sword coming towards my side along with a familiar voice.

“Where are you looking!”

-Chang!

When the sword is struck, a loud sound echoes throughout the clearing.

‘I really want to kill that bastard right now.’

I wanted to kill the other cubs as well, but not as much as Jetty, who was smiling while sharply swinging his sword at me.

So what can we do?

I have no choice but to kill even if it is a little too much.

Deceive the scales again. Equip your body with maximum acceleration and strengthening magic.

-Chaeng!

And I struck the guy’s sword with as much force as I could.

Then a little distance appears between him and me.

Gulp, I straightened my posture as I saw the still living knights looking very nervous.

Lean the sword in your right hand behind your left waist.

Bend your knees. Keep your right foot in a straight line with your body and your left foot two steps back.

“···!”

Did he sense my momentum? Jetty looked surprised and took a defensive stance, but I didn’t care and swung my sword while muttering.

“God’s sword type 1, soul cutting.”

Then, white light exploded from the sword.

-Chaaa!

The light soon drew countless white solid lines everywhere.

****

Dunkel had to burst out laughing.

“hehehe, what on earth is this…?”

After casting a hallucination spell on Viscount Darmien and his wife, I rushed over to see if I might be late for the party.

“Well, it’s late. Dunkel.”

The only living thing before my eyes was Count Kayden, who was sitting on a rock with a haggard appearance.

“Haak, haak.”

With both of his arms cut off, all that was left was Jetty, gasping for breath.

“hehehe…”

Dunkel was dumbfounded.

Bodies and blood stains scattered everywhere.

And the remnants of pure white mana were left behind.

How could it not be absurd to hear that these traces were created by just one person, not many?

“I have to take revenge…”

From noble mtl dot com

Dunkel thought as he looked at his dying old friend with dry eyes.

This friend was trying to get revenge.

“Okay. “At the height of the war, Viscount Darmien gave his daughter to the soldiers.”

“I… I also want that daughter…”

“I will definitely take that revenge.”

Well, even that was an illusion created by the illusion magic he used for fun.

That wasn’t an important story to Dunkel.

“So just tell me the location. “Where does that boy live?”

“Ha… Inkel… Sa, Mountain Range… Tong… Tree….”

I understand. After muttering that, Dunkel frowned and started muttering.

“I thought it was a mistake.”

After thinking for a while, Dunkel was soon able to come to a conclusion.

I think the familiar energy I felt from the boy was real.

“Then…”

Sighing, the corners of Dunkel’s mouth rise strangely.

He was truly happy. Because he had so much to gain today.

“Duh, Dunkel, you are here…”

Then, Dunkel hears a familiar voice.

My head turns. In Dunkel’s eyes, there was Count Kayden, who was consumed by fear.

“Ah. “The Count was there.”

Dunkel looked around and sighed.

A black haze was creeping around him.

“The Count will need to help me.”

He didn’t care and whispered to the count.

I thought today was the last time I would have fun with the Count.

****

The master who overextended himself came to us as soon as we arrived at the log cabin.

My whole body feels sore and heavy as if it is torn apart. His nose hasn’t stopped bleeding since a while ago.

I deceived the balance and used mana beyond the limit that my body could tolerate, and my body suffered a backlash.

It’s not that something like this has never happened, but this is the first time the backlash has reached this level.

“Oh, I’m really dying.”

It’s not a joke, I seriously feel like I’m going to die.

“Lord, don’t die, Camel. “Huh, huh!”

But that doesn’t mean you’re really going to die.

As I looked at Rose sobbing, covering my nose with her handkerchief, her feelings became complicated.

Hey, what if I cover my mouth?

“Rose, I’m really fine and I’m not dying, so could you take the handkerchief off me? “Because I can’t breathe.”

“Wow.”

When I said that, Rose was startled and hastily threw her handkerchief aside.

‘If you do that, there will be blood on the floor.’

I had the urge to say something, but I couldn’t.

The sight of Rose fidgeting was cute, but more than anything, she couldn’t help it when she thought about what Rose had gone through today.

“Are you okay, Rose?”

“Uh, yes…”

When I asked, Rose lowered her small head and let out her ratty voice.

‘Is there any way it could be okay?’

Not only did she almost suffer such a terrible thing, but she was also betrayed by the person she trusted more than anyone else.

I was more worried about the injuries Rose suffered than about my body, which would soon get better.

She tried to tell me that it was okay for her to cry.

“It’s really okay. “Actually, I was somewhat prepared.”

“What are you prepared for?”

“A viscount’s wife being raped by a high-ranking nobleman. “Honestly, it’s a common thing.”

The words that began to come out of Rose’s cute lips made my mind confused.

“Camel. “I love my family.”

“What does that matter?”

“It means that even if I get a little sick, I don’t want anyone in my family to get sick.”

“···.”

I was completely speechless.

To the subject whose face still has tears in it.

The subject is now only a twelve-year-old girl.

I can’t believe you made ridiculous determination for just that reason.

“That’s what I’m saying. “I hope Camel doesn’t get sick because of me.”

“I’m not sick.”

“Lie. “You were constantly saying that you were sick and that you were going to die.”

“Ah.”

When I thought about it, it was true. It really hurt.

“Camel. So can you do me a favor?”

“What request?”

“What if…”

Rose held my hand tightly and lowered her head as she spoke.

“If Count Kayden wants to take me back, then please don’t come forward like before.”

“···.”

“I sincerely hope Camel doesn’t get hurt.”

Rose still lowered her head and spoke in a trembling voice.

As I looked at that tiny figure, my lips opened without me realizing it.

“What are you saying?”

“Uh, huh?”

Then, as if she was surprised, Rose raised her head with her eyes wide open like a rabbit.

“Hey!”

I gave Rose a honey balm and made an angry voice.

“This is the size of a rat bell.”

“Why do you speak informally…?”

“Why? “You keep doing what you want, but can’t I do that?”

“That’s…”

“Hey, Rose. “Don’t fuss and listen carefully.”

Soon she grabbed Rose’s shoulders, looked her in the eye, and began to open her mouth in earnest.

“You said it’s okay for you to be sick, but you don’t want someone important to you to be sick, right?”

“Uh, yes.”

“Then did you ask the opinions of those important people? Even if you ask, will they really give you the answer you want?”

“···.”

“No, absolutely not. If it were 100, I would say 100. “Rose, I don’t want you to be sick, even though I’m okay with it.”

Did you understand? Rose had her mouth open and was listening to me with a blank expression.

“What this means is that your idea was wrong from the beginning. Now, try following along. “When I get sick, my loved ones get sick more.”

“···.”

“Follow me.”

“If I get sick, my precious people…”

“Okay. “It hurts more.”

Rose mumbled and lowered her head again.

I patted Rose’s head and added to her words.

“So let’s make a promise. “I think you should do that.”

“What… promise?”

“From now on, I will never use scissors… No, this is nonsense. “From now on, I will think about protecting myself before thinking about getting sick.”

“···.”

When he put out his little finger and made a request, Rose hesitated, biting her lips.

It wasn’t that I couldn’t understand Rose.

I feel like I’m being treated like a baby by someone my own age, even a commoner, so of course I’m embarrassed.

I fully understood Rose’s feelings and let out her warm voice.

“Do it.”

As expected.

The effect of the warm voice was amazing.

When I see that I can feel the soft texture on my little finger.

I think.

I think it might be this moment.

A new path to destiny was opened for the girl who appeared as a villainess in the game.

****

In the middle of the night, Rose was sleeping next to me, clinging to me like a cicada and making a light sound.

‘Thank goodness.’

She almost suffered something terrible, but she didn’t.

She was destined to become a villainess, but that fate was canceled.

So, I can’t help but sigh with relief.

With that thought in mind, I covered Rose with her blanket and then got up from her seat.

Her ‘Her body managed to recover.’

The aftereffects of her recoil still remained, but I could see that her arms and legs were moving enough.

‘It’s coming.’

Feeling that an unpleasant energy from far away was gradually getting closer, I took my sword and went out of the house.

The energy I feel right now is definitely Dunkel’s magic.

What’s strange is that the energy I feel now is much stronger than the Dunkel energy I’ve felt so far.

‘What have you done?’

I had that question for a moment, but that was it.

Anyway, since Dunkel is a member of the Chaos Church, there was no chance of me losing to him.
