How to Survive as a Villain in a Novel

54 – Strategy (2)

Charge…

He pretended to do so and stopped right in front of the station manager.

– Crackling

The space right in front of my nose trembled, making the sound of things like air being crushed.

A shield that turns monsters into disasters that are impossible to attack. It’s a stationmaster.

If I slightly extend my sword towards this space here.

Just like that, the blade sticks out towards me.

The same energy as the sword I held out to him.

And after a little delay, the shimmer of space disappears. As if nothing had happened.

A kind of strangeness whose workings the human brain will never understand.

As if it knew that fact, the boss mob hovering above the crack just stared down at me.

‘Thank goodness.’

Perhaps thanks to the Heavenly Demon, he looks quite exhausted.

It is fortunate that they do not show any intention to attack.

They probably didn’t judge me as a threat enough to pierce the force field.

Thanks to this, an opportunity was created to break through this force field.

There are two steps for a force field to operate.

1. When you approach a certain distance, the space where the force field exists starts shaking, just like the size of the object.

2. Fight back as is.

3. After a slight delay, the shimmering disappears.

After the space opens and a counterattack that ignores the laws of physics proceeds, the shimmer disappears with a slight delay.

If you can overcome that slight delay…

And I realized the method.

This is how I came to this damned continent and became enlightened.

“……”

I rushed towards the bastard’s force field with Blink.

The moment I noticed the movement in front of my nose.

– Pot!

Blink straight back.

– Suddenly.

His counterattack belatedly split the space I was in.

– Pot!

I am using Blink again as is.

Toward that swaying space.

“Wow.”

A feeling of extreme motion sickness disturbs my body.

But that is only for a moment.

Now I am inside the force field.

Minimum range of the station field.

He succeeded in getting inside.

– Geek!

A long head full of mucus mixed with white and gray looks back at me.

It is a monster that came from the demon world.

There is no expression on his face.

But if there is such a thing as emotions, he is probably quite shocked by now.

Because someone like me, a nobody, broke through his only protective force field.

– Hwiik!

The guy waved his long arm.

The nails on the tips of those fingers are long and sharp, like blades.

Even so, it is useless in front of Blink.

I dodged the attack and cut off the guy’s arm with my sword.

Toduk.

The arm of the fallen guy rolls on the floor.

Remains that turn into black ash and disappear.

‘Weakened.’

I was sure.

Probably because the Heavenly Demon harassed me.

The guy swung his arms without any sense of embarrassment, but

The speed has significantly slowed down.

Since he is not an obliteration-type boss mob, he is definitely worth fighting in the force field.

Deflect the nails of the flying creature with the blade of the sword and approach.

It is difficult to use Blink to move forward using only the mind’s eye.

Anyway, we get closer one step at a time.

The bastard’s blow is swung once again.

It is full of weaknesses.

‘Okay. If I cut him like this.’

That moment.

“……”

The world has gone dark.

‘Damn it.’

The duration of the mind’s eye has run out.

* · * *

– The Quagga Gaga River!

It rolled on the floor with shock.

I don’t think there’s anything broken anywhere.

My shoulder feels hot, like it’s on fire.

‘Did you get cut?’

Damn. I can’t even check my status.

This is because the duration of the mind’s eye was not managed.

In the black field of vision, only the scent of blood wafts.

Draw the battlefield in your mind using all your senses other than sight.

The problem is.

‘I don’t feel it.’

I can’t accurately detect the presence of the damn boss mob.

Only a slight noise and buzzing presence confirm its existence.

It seems as if body temperature and smell are both present and absent.

Its location cannot be read, as if it were something semi-transparent.

“Damn…”

What should I do?

My head is about to turn white due to the crisis that came out of nowhere.

No.

Come to your senses.

There is definitely a way…

“Lee Han! Back!”

From noble mtl dot com

A voice suddenly sounded, and I rolled backwards to avoid it.

– Kwaaang!

A shock wave belatedly tore through the place where I was.

“Left!”

This time, I raised my sword to the left and blocked his attack.

This is Han Chae-yoon’s voice.

Beyond the force field, it seems to sense my change and immediately explain the situation.

This is good judgment.

I used her voice to tease her body.

Now that I think about it, it was like this when I got my eyesight.

Pisik.

I started laughing without even realizing it.

– Geek!

Once again, the boss mob blows away.

My arms are numb.

Senses becoming increasingly sensitive.

But in order to attack, you have to feel the guy to some extent. As it is, even with Han Chae-yoon’s help, the best thing to do is to defend and retreat.

At that time, a realization crossed my mind.

‘If you don’t feel him…’

I feel the world I am stepping into now.

In that case, the particularly empty part must be where he is.

Because he is from another world.

“Whew.”

With deep breathing, distribute the malice and sharpen your senses.

The five senses of air, water and land.

I begin to feel it in the meantime.

An infinitely dirty feeling of heterogeneity.

An unpleasant being polluting this world.

– Whiik!

I swung my sword toward its center.

A strike filled with all malice.

The sword pierces precisely through the center.

Beyond that, I felt a throbbing spasm.

For a moment, silence enveloped the area.

“Ah!…”

Han Chae-yoon’s exclamation was briefly heard.

So bad.

Have cracks begun to form on the surface of the monster?

I can feel things disintegrating into small pieces and disappearing as if evaporating.

I quickly swung my sword and took out the core from the guy’s chest.

And to prevent it from disappearing, he covered it with ‘malice’.

Boom!

The remaining guy’s new model completely collapsed to the ground.

It evaporates and disappears.

I brushed off the residue left on the sword,

I turned around.

‘Oh.’

No. He tried to turn around.

But maybe the tension in my legs went away?

Just like that, my body fell down.

Damn.

This was the coolest part.

* · * *

Complete darkness.

As if pulled up from the deep sea,

I began to come to my senses.

The sound of something bustling tickles my ears.

“… Huh. There’s nothing good to be gained from raising a student. You can’t leave after having corrected everything after seeing the teacher.”

“No, Master, that’s not it. You promised me earlier. For one year…”

“hahahaha. It’s a joke. If he comes to his senses, he will avoid my place, so don’t worry.”

Are they Han Chae-yoon and Cheonma?

Their voices were as bright as flowers falling, as if something good had happened.

As I fidgeted to get up, I heard the voice of the Heavenly Demon.

“Are you awake?”

“Yes. This place?”

“This is my residence. I’ve never had a man in my room before, but you’ve woken up here twice. It’s disappointing.”

I don’t know why, but it felt like she was eating me, so I grabbed the blanket and covered myself again.

Ah. Come to think of it, the core I obtained from the boss mob…

“Didn’t you see the dark core I was holding in my hand? That’s the cure for not only me, but also Heavenly Demon…”

“Gal. What do you think of this position?”

Taaak!

My forehead tingled as if I had suddenly been hit by a flying stone.

Is this Cheonma Takbam?

It hurts so bad.

“All measures have already been taken. Please wait a little while and then slowly open your eyes.”

… You already applied and treated it without any detailed explanation.

“… Cool, cool.”

I muttered without realizing it.

Honestly, I almost said I wanted to join the Demonic Cult.

I think I will become a fan of Cheonmagat.

If it had been detailed in the original work, it would have been my favorite character right away.

You must have liked my passionate courtship, hmm! The Heavenly Demon cleared her throat and opened her mouth.

“Hmm! I’ll go out for a while. I’ll try to open my eyes slowly. Chaeyun will help me.”

Drur.

The sound of the sliding door closing was heard and the footsteps of the Heavenly Demon became distant.

Instead.

“……”

The quiet, sweet sound of Han Chae-yoon’s breathing approached.

Sarr.

The cloth covering my eyes was loosened.

“Slow down, float.”

I slowly lifted my eyelids.

“……”

Like a camera out of focus,

Orange and red lights flickered.

Blink your eyes a few times.

Gradually the lost focus returns.

It is a blackout space, as if to be considerate of those who are opening their eyes after a long time.

The few light sources softly illuminate the dark room.

A few candles and a pair of red eyes.

The owner of red eyes that shine beautifully like rubies is Han Chae-yoon.

Only now did I meet her eyes for the first time.

“……”

Short eye contact.

Han Chae-yoon’s long eyelashes close and open like curtains.

The corners of her eyes softened.

“I’m glad my eyes came back. How do you feel now?”

It’s a feeling.

It is difficult to express in words.

It is a daunting sight.

The penalty of the system I thought I would just have to comply with.

I overcame it.

Various emotions are mixed.

But there was something I wanted to say.

Happy vision, as if waking up from a long sleep. The decoration of a calm room in a soft orange color. The candlelight glowed warmly in the room, and Han Chae-yoon’s face shone even brighter within it.

“…It’s beautiful.”

“Is that right? I tried to make it subtle on purpose. If you open your eyes too suddenly, you might hurt your retina, right?”

Han Chae-yoon smiled and showed off the decoration of her room.

As she opened her eyes for the first time in a long time, explanations followed, such as how it would be nice if she was sufficiently warm and beautiful.

Her voice sounded sweet.

“Thank you.”

At my words, Han Chae-yoon laughed bitterly.

“What? It’s nothing compared to what I received from Lee Han.”

Did I give Han Chae-yoon that much?

Any doubts I had for a moment were sent away.

Han Chae-yoon’s fingers are wrapped in my hand.

Candles that flicker for a moment.

I just want to enjoy this moment, even if just for a moment.
