Playing the Perfect Fox-Eyed Villain Chapter 211

Episode 211. Master and Student (1)

The trait has disappeared.

While being bewildered by the unprecedented situation, my gaze followed Tenelon.

“What are you doing?”

“Ugh, ugh……!”

Tenelon laughed like crazy. It was a laugh full of confidence that he had seized the opportunity to win.

“You too, if there’s no demon……!”

I started to get annoyed by the sight.

===

⇒ Emotions began to run high.

⇒ The characteristic “Open Eyes” has been manifested.

===

“If there is no demon, I will use the power of the Demon God to kill you……!”

Card grab──!

“Ugh, ugh!”

In order to silence Tenelon's nonsense, I twisted the 'Moon Sword' embedded in my abdomen, and the mad smirk on the corner of his mouth began to change into pain.

“Why, why!?”

“It’s not that I’m not affected by the demons in the first place.”

Quite the opposite.

“Because my body was only slightly affected by magic, I was able to nurture a demon.”

Chook──!

As he pulled the sword out of Tenelon's body, red blood began to flow into the air along the path of the sword.

“Ugh, ugh…….”

Perhaps because the hole in his abdomen made it difficult for him to breathe, Tenelon kept gasping for breath.

Because of that, blood gurgled in front of the ugly face.

“This is terrible.”

With a simple remark, he cut off Tenelon's head, and the irritating breathing sound was no longer audible.

I didn't feel as guilty as I did when I killed other people.

Even when he killed a human who had been 'demonized', he would have felt more guilty than this.

Is it because emotions are heightened?

Or is it because of something this guy did wrong?

'Angelica!'

Leaving Tenelon behind, who had died so easily that it was almost absurd, I turned my gaze to the 'Mashinseong' that had sucked up 'Angelica'.

'It's thick.'

What came into view was the appearance of the Demon God who was beginning to embrace 'magic' even more.

The terrifying atmosphere of the demon god's 'remnant thoughts' seemed to have been created in a vessel, and the demon god's castle held a more intense light than usual.

'… … Is it because Tenelon died?'

I turned my gaze back to Tenelon's body.

The dead man's body was rippling with 'magic energy', and all of it was accumulating in the 'demon spirit'.

The ability to absorb demons and magic that exist in the system. It was clearly being activated.

"Angelica."

I looked at the spirit and opened my mouth.

The gurgling, creepy, blinking shadows were no more.

The name 'Angelica' has also disappeared from the trait window.

"Angelica!"

My throat feels a bit sore.

It seems like a more agitated voice than when I called the name of the dead orchid before.

As if responding to my agitated emotions, the 'Mashinseong' began to glow with a strong light.

After that, the demonic spirit began to overflow with 'residual thoughts' while rumbling. At the same time, the overflowing magic energy took the form of a living creature.

“Tsk.”

Beast type demon.

Humanoid demon.

All kinds of demons flowed out of the 'Mashinseong'.

'Is it starting to run wild?'

No, it's not a rampage. This is the essence of 'Mashinseong'.

A holy object that absorbs the 'remnant thoughts' that exist in the world and creates a 'demon' from them. As the name 'Demon God' suggests, it is a holy object that is hell-bent on killing humans.

“Tsk.”

With a sigh, I decided to run away from this place.

As I live as 'Yurien', the most important thing I consider is my personal and mental safety.

"ha……."

It's okay to run away.

No, if it were my real self, it would have been right for me to run away.

Whether or not the 'Mashinseong' goes berserk, he will mull over in his mind that it is right to run away since there is no way to deal with the current situation.

'However, the bell of the night is placed inside Angelica.'

A weak demon should be mixed with the 'Mashinsung' and become a part of the 'Residual Thoughts' that are like flowing mud there. However, the 'Bell of the Night' placed inside Angelica's body can be felt.

“fu*k.”

A thin thread of hope held me back from leaving this loathsome place.

Letting out a swear word, I looked at the demons flowing out of the 'Mashinseong'.

Tenelon was also sorted out, and there was an opportunity to step away from the 'Dawn Society'.

“It wasn’t about giving affection to the demon.”

***

Linnaeus, who supported the body of the blacksmith Haydn and was guided by him, arrived at the Genmel Monastery.

As she stepped into the entrance, a tremendous amount of magic prickled her skin. Feeling it, Linne instinctively knew that something unusual was happening here.

“Thank you, Linnea.”

Linnaeus's body shrank in the midst of the moving magic, but Haydn patted Linnaeus' shoulder with an indifferent expression.

“Are you going?”

She also knows that the Master's goal is the monastery where the magic is active.

Haydn slowly and silently advanced into the monastery. Nearby, he could hear the sound of a battle between demons and their magic.

“It’s Zahattro.”

Haydn seemed to have known what the sound was, even though he didn't see it.

“It looks like Yurian arrived first.”

"yes."

“Go and help.”

What are you going to do?

That question never came out of my mouth.

However, I was desperate to stop Haydn from going to the monastery.

Because this time, it felt like it was the last time I saw you.

Because his actions felt dangerous, like a dying candle.

“Thank you so much, Master.”

However, Linnaeus said goodbye to Haydn instead of holding on to him.

Looking at her like that, Haydn smiled broadly.

With that laugh, Haydn went into the monastery. Likewise, Linnaeus also walked towards the place where the noise was coming from.

***

– “Kururuk……!”

This is driving me crazy, really!

I tried to approach the 'Mashin Castle' by killing demons, but the demons overflowing from the holy relic showed no signs of decreasing.

“Seriously, fu*king shit!”

It's not that I don't know the reason.

The effect of the 'Masinseong' is to absorb 'Remnant Thoughts'. Every time a demon is killed, 'Remnant Thoughts' remain on the ground, and the 'Masinseong' absorbs them and creates a new 'Demon'.

Literally, infinite power.

“There is no such thing as Eureka!”

I put the 'Moon Sword' into the mouth of the charging wolf demon and slashed it to the side, knocking its neck to the ground.

However, the humanoid demon seen right behind.

You're really tight!

Before I could even adjust my posture, I saw the guy's attack coming, so I spun around and let it slip away.

“Ugh!”

Bam──!

Using centrifugal force, he broke the neck of a humanoid demon.

Two in a row.

I tried to move my feet, thinking that I could get a little closer to the 'drinking spirit', but the distance was still the same.

'doggish.'

I was suddenly overcome with regret.

If 'Angelica' is also a demon, I should have kept in mind that she is subject to the effect of 'Masinity'.

'I wasn't using the lunar eclipse.'

But, it was too late to regret.

Somehow, we must break through these waves of demons and reach the 'Mashin Castle'.

'But what do you do when you touch it?'

Can you just take out 'Angelica' from inside? Is that even possible?

“The tendency to try to solve things with just that force is still there.”

As I continued to question my current actions, a voice was heard from the entrance.

Even without checking, I think I know who it is.

“Didn’t I say that strength can only be perfected when combined with skill?”

“I have already forgotten the Master’s teachings.”

“You keep spewing out bitter words.”

For a moment, while the demon was distracted, Haydn approached the 'Mashinseong'.

How on earth did he approach the 'Mashinseong' without attracting the demon's attention?

While he was pondering such questions, Haydn reached out to the 'Masinity'.

As Haydn took hold of the demonic spirit, the demons turned to mud and disappeared like 'remnants of thought' spread widely on the floor.

“It is the union of the divine swords.”

The reason why the demons didn't pay attention to Hayden. It's probably because of his unique aura, 'Shin Geum Unification'.

Making your body into a sword-like state.

That is, by making it into a state similar to an 'inanimate object', it makes it easier for the body to receive the 'aura' of the atmosphere.

To the demons who had just been born into this world and knew nothing, Haydn's body would have felt like air, and so they did not even recognize him.

“This is the height of remnantism.”

“It is the result of accumulated efforts.”

“I never thought I’d hear something like that from your own mouth. Hmm?”

At that moment, something popped out from the 'Mashinseong'.

Something like a black shadow.

The moment I realized that this was 'Angelica', the thing latched onto my leg.

Gulp.

Angelica stared at me with her eyes blinking. As usual, the guy was seeping into my shadow.

===

⇒ Acquired the trait “Angelica”.

===

When the UI came up, I let out a sigh of relief.

“I guess that’s the demon you were raising.”

“Yes, instead of blindly absorbing ‘magic’ like some people, I chose the path of coexistence.”

“Haha, it’s embarrassing because it sounds like you’re saying it for me to hear.”

For a conversation between a teacher and a student, the content is rather dry.

In the meantime, the 'Mashinseong', which had become quiet, began to stir once again.

'Again, are you planning to raise a demon?'

Before such anxiety became reality, Haydn grabbed the tip of the 'Masinseong' with both hands.

Then, a soft light flowed out from his hand, and the 'residual thoughts' scattered around began to be sucked into Haydn's body.

The holy relic, the drinking cup.

'……also.'

Gulp.

Haydn turned his head and met my gaze.

A line of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

“Is Tenelon dead?”

At Haydn's question, with blood in his mouth, I pointed to Tenelon's body with my gaze.

“It was such a waste of time for such a bad relationship. I wanted to kill him with my own hands.”

There was a hint of emotion in Haydn's voice, which had been full of aura.

“What do you plan to do, Mashinseong?”

Instead of answering my question, Haydn drew his sword.

“In the past, there was something I taught you.”

I've never actually heard of it though.

'Yurien's' instinct told her that it was 'mine'.

“All things are impermanent. Those who walk the path of the sword should answer questions with martial arts.”

I too, like Haydn, drew my sword.

ha.

He sighed inwardly and turned his gaze to Haydn.

“Let’s hang out together.”
