Playing the Perfect Fox-Eyed Villain Chapter 49

Episode 49. Fake Face, True Nature (1)

I just came to see her to change Linne's practical exam scores.

But what is this situation?

I looked at Linne lying on the ground and the man holding a sword in front of her, trying to understand the situation.

“What brings you here? You don’t seem to be a cultured person with any connection to the Academy.”

But I pretended to be calm and opened my mouth in a whiny tone.

As I became accustomed to this body, words that 'Yurien' would say naturally came to mind.

“It’s been a while. Yurian, is this the first time we’ve seen each other like this since the monastery? How I’ve longed to see your face.”

The man, whose face was half disfigured by burns, turned away from the fallen Linne and growled at me.

As soon as he turned to me, I felt a strong killing intent, as if it was cutting through my skin.

'Oh, I see.'

I had felt that way before at the Genmel Monastery.

He is a 'Monsignor' of the Order of the Dawn and a former Vice-Captain of the Knights Templar.

At the same time, the person who gave Joshua the 'replica horn'.

Alphas Mayhand.

“Your current face is more attractive than your previous one, Sir Alphas.”

Alphas' lips twisted grotesquely as he called her name in a tone full of mockery.

“It’s a wound I received while fighting the wizard who was chasing me. He was indeed a fourth-tier wizard. So I cut off his limbs and fed them to the dogs.”

“That’s why you shouldn’t give something ‘dangerous’ like that to just anyone. Didn’t that lead to the disappearance of an ‘important’ sample?”

“Hehe, that sharp mouth is still the same.”

Judging from what he's done, he must have some terrible bad relationship with me. What has 'Yurien' been doing?

First, I stopped thinking about random things and thought about why Alphas had come to Bayer Academy.

To resolve the grudge against 'Yurien' that has built up until now? I don't think so… … .

‘… … Is this Aiden’s order?’

Joshua said he received 'horns' from this guy.

The 'horn' is what Aiden creates to fulfill his long-cherished wish.

In conclusion, it seems that Aiden, whose experiment was interrupted, ordered me to be eliminated.

'And Linne… … I searched for this guy for so long and finally found him.'

It was a confusing situation at first, but after thinking about it for a bit, it was easily sorted out.

'Anyway, I guess I'll just have to kill him.'

Thinking 'Yurien', I placed my hand on the scabbard at my waist.

Stop.

But I was struggling to block the body of 'Yurien' who was trying to rush at Alphas.

'Listen to me, you damn body. There's innocent Linne over there.'

As is typical of 'Yurien's' nature, the instinct to kill enemies while ignoring his colleagues continues to move 'Yurien's' body.

“Come to think of it, you b*tch. You use a sword technique similar to the one I used.”

As if he had noticed the anxiety I was feeling, Alphas grabbed Linne's neck as she fell to the ground.

shit!

The reason I avoided meeting the Black Star was to avoid becoming like that 'trailer' video.

The main characters of <Let's Kill the Demon King Now> are not 'Yurien', but Geomseong, Linne, and his colleagues.

The death of a lead character may have some kind of butterfly effect on the main story.

And that's a minus even for me, who has a rough idea of the main content of the story.

'What should I do?'

I was troubled as I watched Linne being lifted up like a corpse without any resistance.

“It looks like you learned swordsmanship from Geomseong this year?”

“Yes, she is my classmate. Unfortunately.”

“Really? Hehe.”

With a laugh, Alphas threw Linne towards me. At that moment, I unconsciously tried to catch her floating body.

Beyond the sight obscured by Linne's body, I could feel the red haze of 'anger' and the murderous intent piercing my skin.

[Amazing intuition]

[Negative Color]

Alphas' sword body, which can be clearly recognized even without being seen.

Auror, full of murderous intent, was rushing forward without mercy, trying to cut me down along with Linne.

'Bear.'

My innate intuition and the mindset of 'Yurien' told me not to care about Linne and just cut her down, but I hugged Linne's body and rolled over to the side.

“Ugh!”

In the process, Alphas' black blade slashed across my back, leaving a long scar.

The spot where I had rolled around left a clear bloodstain, and a dizzying pain struck my mind.

“Phu, puhahahaha!”

As if mocking my appearance, Alphas began to laugh heartily.

“You’ve changed a lot, Yurian Kraipart Prasson!”

The guy who shook off the sword covered in blood began to emit an aura from his whole body.

Strong confidence! It was felt through the aura.

“If it were you in the past, instead of protecting that bitch, you would have pierced her and gone for my neck!”

The guy spoke to me in a voice that was thick with arsenic.

'You think he would have pierced it and aimed for his own neck?'

Is that what you call talking now?

Linnaeus is a disciple and one of the closest associates of 'Black Saint Haydn'.

If she were to die, of course, Geomseong would gather all his strength to find the culprit. What if the 'Yeongmyeonghoe' is revealed in the meantime?

And what if it becomes known that I am associated with the 'Dawn Society'?

'When you say you're my classmate, shouldn't you be able to tell at least that much?'

Because you sound like an idiot.

“Life is still going strong.”

Alphas raised his sword with a bitter smile, perhaps sensing my irritation.

“But! Compared to before, his notoriety pales in comparison!”

What did I do!

Alphas, who had been slamming the ground while muttering useless sentiments, ran straight towards me and swung his sword that held an aura.

'fast.'

But it's not to the extent that it can't be accepted.

Kang──!

I quickly took my sword out of its scabbard and injected my aura to strike the guy's sword, but the attack was not over.

Pot.

The guy kicked the wall, then twisted his path and swung his sword again.

Kaaaaang-!

The sword was extremely heavy, carrying a lot of aura along with the weight of the body.

These two sums alone are enough to show that he is on a different track from the prosecutors we have dealt with so far.

[Natural Test]

But the effort invested to play 'Yurien' was definitely not in vain.

A series of movements in which the guy swings his sword.

I was able to clearly capture the sword path.

At the same time, just like when he had dealt with the 'Demon', 'Yurien's' body whispered that it would be effective if he brought the sword here.

“……Ugh, ugh!”

One hit, one hit again.

In the ensuing exchange of swords, Alphas began to frown, perhaps sensing that his skills were lacking.

He tried to push me with a fierce attack, more filled with aura than before. The more he did so, the more my breathing became rapid and the tip of my sword shook.

It was when he approached me with deeper strides and raised his sword that I felt his impatience reach its peak.

'The idea of ending it quickly.'

I threw bait at the impatient looking guy little by little. I exposed some of his weaknesses little by little without Alphas noticing them in the midst of his flawless attacks.

The guard right above his neck wasn't strong. The guy who noticed this somehow closed the distance and tried to swing down with all his might.

But reacting to an expected attack is not difficult.

'That decision to end it easily is what killed you.'

I dodged the sword coming down on my head by taking a step to the side, then turned my gaze to Alphas' clearly visible abdomen.

If you cut with a sword dyed in moonlight, you will be able to cut through it without any difficulty, no matter how much aura is used to defend it.

'Huh? … … Wait a minute.'

If you cut open Alpha's abdomen, it will not end in a fatal wound, but it will definitely lead to death.

That means… … .

That I committed murder.

So far, the only people who have died by my hands have been those who were mutated into demons.

He swung his sword with the intention of killing the 'demon', so he killed it without hesitation.

But Alphas is still human─.

“Die! Yurian!”

While I was lost in thought for a moment, Alphas' black orbit turned towards my head and soon struck my body.

From the left shoulder to the abdomen.

My head was spinning because there was so much blood flowing that I couldn't stop it with my hands, and I took a step back due to the sudden dizziness.

“You idiot! You’re losing focus!”

Alphas continued to swing his sword with a voice full of anger.

A series of consecutive attacks.

Even in the midst of the storm of Alphas' attacks, my body was only able to dodge, let alone fight back.

“……Cool.”

Blood flowing from the sword wound began to dye the coat red.

'Damn, that was my favorite coat.'

Even thinking about this in the midst of all this annoys me.

'murder.'

That sticky feeling was directed at myself, who had just been unable to end Alphas' life.

There were situations where we could seize the opportunity.

There was definitely a moment when I could have taken the life out of that cheeky Alpha.

But why didn't you finish it?

“I didn’t think I could kill you so easily. Isn’t it that you’ve become weaker than before, Yurian!”

I vaguely know the reason.

This must be because of the mindset of Lee Si-hoo, who has never committed murder since he was born.

The mind of 'Ishihu' that instinctively suppressed the body of 'Yurian' who was naturally trying to kill Alphas by cutting open his stomach.

And it was this complacent, shallow thought that I could avoid this situation without getting my hands dirty that led me to this point.

“How is it, Yurian! Doesn’t it remind you of what happened at the Banfist Bridge? Things are different now, though!”

You shouldn't do it like this.

Alphas breathes life into 'Yurien' and tries to kill him, but we just let him go like this?

That's not something that the 'Laughing Executioner' 'Yurien' would do.

With this kind of mindset, it will be difficult to handle all the dangers that will come in the future.

You decided to play the perfect cross-eyed villain to survive.

***

Alphas looked at the wounded man in front of him with a bitter laugh on his lips.

The Empire's Smiling Executioner, Yurian Kraiphath Frasson.

Alphas' body began to heat up at the thought that he could finally put an end to the chronicle he had been writing up to this point.

“You’re so helpless, so helpless.”

Alphas raised his sword with a sarcastic remark. It wouldn't be long before he would be able to cut off Yurian's breath.

'I can't let you go that easily. Shouldn't I do the same as you did?

Alphas wanted to enjoy this fun a little before putting an end to it.

“Crawl between my legs, Yurian. Then I will spare your life.”

Alphas made me an offer with a bitter smile and an arrogant tone.

An obvious lie.

The ridicule hidden behind the proposal.

Even the most noble bloodlines would throw away their pride and honor when their lives were at stake. Alphas, who had no doubt about this fact, expected the man before him to do the same.

The 'smiling executioner' who never bows his head even if he sinks under the weight of pride.

It would be truly ridiculous for him to lose the 'self' he had so loftily protected and fall apart.

“The Banpist Bridge……. I lost my memories of that time.”

Contrary to expectations, what Yurian said was not the answer Alphas was looking for.

“To be exact, after the incident where the rumor of ‘amnesia’ started to spread, I……. No! I guess the person called ‘Yurien’ is dead.”

Yurian continued his monologue. Alphas, who was listening to his monologue, burst out laughing at his appearance.

“I guess I’m going crazy now that I’m about to die.”

“This is something I have not told anyone. If this fact spreads like a rumor, it will be dangerous for my personal safety.”

“What on earth are you trying to say…….”

A series of incomprehensible words.

The only thing I could understand was that Yurian was not in his right mind.

“After all, it’s all about attitude.”

[Emotions are running high.]

[The unique trait, 'Open Eyes' has been activated.]

Swish.

Yurian's eyelids, which had always been closed, opened.

'……omg.'

At that moment, Alphas felt a chilling murderous aura piercing through his entire body. The overwhelming murderous intent that made his hair stand on end made his mind dizzy.

His instincts, which had grown stronger along with his mastery of swordsmanship, made him reflexively swing his sword towards the murderous intent pouring out towards him.

but.

“Ugh, ugh!!!!”

The opponent's level was far higher than what one's instincts could perceive.

Frowning at the excruciating pain of his flesh being torn away, Alphas looked at his right arm.

does not exist.

Only red blood gushed out like a fountain from the cleanly severed right arm.

“Killing a person… isn’t that difficult.”

Enduring the pain that was so intense that it wouldn't have been strange if he lost consciousness at any moment, Alphas looked at Yurian with eyes that were red from bursting blood vessels.

“You must die here. Because I, the ‘Yurien’, have made up my mind to do so.”
