Chapter 38: My Mouth is Always a Disaster (Part 3)

Ryuryeon.

The right arm and closest aide of the previous Demon King. The only swordsman the previous Demon King

entrusted his back to, the hero of the demons, the hunter of humans, the slayer of heroes. There were many names

that described her.

I had a bad feeling because it was a familiar magic power.

Among the demons I know, the only demons who possess this kind of mana in their bodies were the apostles I fought

countless times on the battlefield.

So, on the one hand, I understood, but my head couldn’t accept it.

Because it was more beneficial to deny reality.

I heard from Leticia that the current Demon King, upon his enthronement, left only the vampire queen who swore

allegiance to him among the surviving apostles of the previous Demon King.

Leticia told me that among the apostles of the previous Demon King, all the apostles who tried to rebel were executed.

Among them, that woman, who was called the right arm of the previous Demon King, had to be killed, so many

demons attacked her, but on the contrary, she slaughtered all the demons who tried to kill her and disappeared. I

never expected that woman to be at the center of this academy terror.

I swallowed hard.

If I were Damian, I wouldn’t be able to defeat her as Charlotte.

If I defend well so that my neck doesn’t fly off, that’s good enough.

Each slash is so fast that I can’t follow it with my eyes.

I could see that the sword was sharper than when I saw it on the battlefield.

The fact that I get a scratch on my body even if I try to block it desperately is proof that I’m not completely blocking it.

At this rate, my end was only defeat.

And with the speed of lightning, Ryuryeon, who quickly narrowed the distance and swung her sword, I hurriedly

blocked it with my sword and kicked Ryuryeon’s stomach to survive.

Unlike me, whose hands were shaking, Ryuryeon, who was pushed back without even showing any signs of pain,

wiped the blood from the blade and slightly raised the corner of her mouth.

It seemed like she was mocking me, so I gritted my teeth.

“Ugh…!”

“You’re doing well to block this.”

“Even if you praise me… I’m not happy at all?!”

“Don’t be so bristly. There aren’t many swordsmen who can fight with me. Even the hero, Leo Starfield, can’t reach

me with pure swordsmanship without using the hero’s blessing. So, you don’t have to be too ashamed even if you lose.”

“What? Ha. Don’t decide on victory as you please? Really, that stiff tone and that condescending tone. I’ve never

liked you!”

In the first place, I didn’t like the fact that she was assuming that I would lose.

I glared at Ryuryeon with cold eyes, and Ryuryeon, who snorted, pointed her sword at me and said.

“Since I decided to kill you, the only path left for you is death. Don’t worry. I’ll make as many companions as you

want so you won’t be lonely. At least you won’t be lonely after you die.”

Unlike the words of an executioner sentencing a death sentence, Ryuryeon’s face was full of a gentle smile.

If it were before, she wouldn’t have been able to make that kind of smile, but did she live well after I disappeared?

I put a provocative smile on my lips.

And said.

“Now that the Heavenly Demon has disappeared, do you think you’ve become the strongest?”

“……What?”

“I don’t think it’s something that a woman who ran away with her tail between her legs as soon as she heard that the

Heavenly Demon appeared on the battlefield should say. Ah. Speaking of which, I heard that you were so scared that

you peed your pants before the Heavenly Demon cut your throat… Whoa?!”

“Shut up, shut that mouth!”

The air trembled with ominous bloodlust.

Ryuryeon’s swordsmanship, who rushed at me with blood vessels standing out in her eyes, was sharp and sharp,

unlike swordsmanship entrusted to anger.

But because it was an attack filled with anger, it wasn’t as unstoppable as before.

However, if I failed to avoid even one, each attack was a fatal blow.

Swish—!

“Die! Die! I’ll tear you limb from limb and make this land your grave!”

……Wow.

Scary.

Me, how did I fight such a woman in the past?

Certainly, Damian Radius’s specs were excellent.

To think that a sword wielded indiscriminately is so dangerous, what kind of monster did I fight before?

I avoided Ryuryeon’s attacks while sweating cold sweat and followed the trajectory of the sword, and I blocked

Ryuryeon’s sword.

Clang, clang, clang—.

Sparks flew as the swords collided.

I glared and gritted my teeth while blocking Ryuryeon’s sword, which exuded a fierce momentum like a beast.

With my current skills, this is the end of exchanging swords a few more times.

If I show a gap even for a moment, I avoided and blocked several sword strikes that seemed like my internal organs

would pop out.

At this rate, my defeat is certain.

After exchanging swords a few more times, I took a step back and frowned.

It’s impossible to win with swordsmanship alone.

Then I have to use a skill, but I doubt if it will work on her.

I looked down at the sword made of my blood, which was crimson, and sighed inwardly.

“Phew.”

By the way, have my taunting skills improved since I became this body?

She’s so angry at the words that she wet herself.

Well, who would like to hear the story that they almost died on the battlefield and wet their pants?

I erased my worried expression and smiled, recalling Ryuryeon, who was blushing and pouting.

“You were quite cute back then……?! That’s dangerous!”

“Die. Die, please. Die, you pervert! Lowlife! Damn it. You’re good at dodging, you’re a pest that shouldn’t be alive!

You’re like a bug! Dieeeeee!!”

“A pest?! Are you aware that your usual concept is broken?!”

“Shut up! More than that, how the hell do you know that secret?! That… that should be a secret that only the damn

Radius knows?! That pervert! Did he tell everyone?!”

No.

I know because I’m Damian.

But I thought it would be better not to say that, so I kept my mouth shut and smiled mysteriously.

Depending on the situation, taunting becomes a stronger ally than ever.

Usually, a strong person like Ryuryeon would snort and ignore such taunts, but now she is in a state where she has

lost her composure that I know.

When she rushes to kill me again, if I pierce her body with the skill ‘Blood Thorn’ instead of the sword, I can take the lead.

And as expected, Ryuryeon grabbed the handle of the sword so tightly that her veins popped out and rushed into my arms.

“Die!”

“…You’re really rough!”

I got you.

The blood-sucking gauge collected by uncontrollable bloodsucking is sufficient.

I can’t kill her with this attack, but I can at least make a scratch.

I stretched out my right hand, which was not holding the sword, and beckoned to Ryuryeon, who was swinging her

sword in front of my eyes.

At the same time, Ryuryeon, who felt a sense of incongruity, opened her eyes wide, but she was already within the

range of the Blood Thorn.

A blow that cannot be avoided at this distance.

Even if it was Ryuryeon, it was a distance that would be difficult to avoid without a scratch.

My blood pooled on the ground rose from the ground like dozens of thorns following my hand gesture.

“What?!”

Ryuryeon opens her eyes wide as if she didn’t expect it at all.

But when Ryuryeon noticed it, it was already too late.

Ryuryeon, who barely turned her body and tried to avoid it to the side, but the Blood Thorn pierced Ryuryeon’s right

shoulder, abdomen, and right leg.

Red blood scatters in the air.

With cold eyes, I glared at Ryuryeon, who was spitting blood from her mouth.

Our eyes meet.

Ryuryeon’s face is distorted as if her insides are twisted while I smile at her with the corner of my mouth.

Drip, drip.

The high-ranking demon, who had been watching from behind Ryuryeon, seeing the blood that was turning the floor

red, raised his voice with his veins standing out on his forehead.

“How dare you!! How dare a lowly half-demon attack!! I’ll kill you, you b*tch… Huh!? Ryuryeon-nim…!”

“…Ugh. Stop, Alberto. This guy is my prey.”

Ryuryeon stops the high-ranking demon who is about to rush at her with an angry face.

The appearance of glaring at the high-ranking demon with blood dripping is like a predator.

Gulp.

The high-ranking demon, whose throat was throbbing and whose face turned pale, couldn’t say anything and bowed

his head and stepped back.

He was a different subordinate than before, but the hierarchy seems to be clear.

I clicked my tongue at the sight of the bones and flesh wriggling in the wide-open hole and healing in real time.

You’ve gotten more tricks while I haven’t seen you.

“…Regeneration is a skill that even among demons, only noble-class vampires can acquire, but you’re using it.”

“Don’t think of it as a skill only for vampires.”

Regeneration is a specialty of vampires, but I didn’t think this woman would be able to heal herself.

I swallowed hard.

Crack, crack—. With the sound of bones breaking, Ryuhyeon loosened her neck and said with fierce eyes.

“You did something ridiculous.”

“It’s too much to say it’s ridiculous. It was an attack I did my best….”

“Phew. Really. You’re quite entertaining. By the way, it was a little dangerous. But do you really think such an attack

will work on me?”

“…A little?”

“Heh. How foolish. I knew it from the moment you refused my offer, but you’re really foolish. Well, then die now.”

Unlike the words of an executioner sentencing a death sentence, a soft smile spread on Ryuhyeon’s lips.

And Ryuhyeon lightly grabbed the handle of the sword and prepared to swing it, and my face, looking at her,

hardened—

“—Did you think so?! Damn it! I didn’t want to use this because of my pride…!!”

[Trait, Yuri (S) exerts its power on the target ‘Ryuryeon’ according to the user’s will.]

I don’t need you to announce it every godamn time!!
