Playing the Perfect Fox-Eyed Villain Chapter 160

Episode 160. Uncomfortable Cooperation (2)

Demons are monsters made up of the remnants of the 'Mashin Barbatos'.

As expected, the 'Mashin' who died at the hands of humans hated humanity and wished for their destruction.

It is no exaggeration to say that this wish has seeped into the residual thoughts and is engraved into each and every cell of the demons.

In other words, where 'humans' gather, 'demons' appear. Unless there is a barrier of resonance stones, it is almost inevitable.

“I’ve never had this happen before when I’ve been camping… I have really bad luck!”

Pelkor clicked his tongue at the word 'demon' and showed his annoyance.

Likewise, I wasn't happy with the appearance of demons.

Above all else.

'I'm so tired I could die.'

The fatigue from this trip has not yet subsided.

If I try to move my body even a little, these guys start to look at me and tilt their head, and I'm starting to get annoyed.

“First of all, given the situation, I think Lord Zahat will have to help out.”

I released the handcuffs of Zahat, who nodded.

“Are you okay? If other people saw you like this, they might get annoyed.”

“I will handle it at my discretion.”

“Hmm, I guess so.”

Some people might criticize why the criminal was released.

No one would want this level of flexibility in a situation where demons are swarming.

Life comes first.

Isn't this something that anyone can understand?

Besides, there are also academy students in this line now.

They have to live.

Please survive without leaving anyone behind.

'I have to tell the system about my achievements.'

It is not that 'Yurien's' strong ego is expressed.

I just thought that would cover up the fact that I had been to the 'Northern Wall' and make for a better picture.

'They're starting to gather.'

Gradually, I began to sense the impudent gazes looking in my direction from beyond the ridge.

The demons' gazes are focused on one place, with a strong will to kill anyone, regardless of whether they are a 'human'.

When the three of us camped together, we never encountered a demon. Perhaps the smell of death that permeated 'Yurien' had prevented the demon from approaching us until now, but with the increase in people, its presence seemed to have faded.

'hmm…….'

I let out a short sigh.

The number of 'demons' that are beginning to show themselves is greater than expected.

“Sir Felcor, I would like to ask you to escort the students.”

"yes?"

When I asked for an escort, Pelkor's face turned pale.

But soon after, his complexion cleared up as he realized that it was an 'easy job'.

“I will protect you with all my might, even at the risk of my life.”

What the heck, that's probably because it's convenient.

***

'Demons are coming here.'

After delivering that news, as I went outside, I saw the faces of the Knights of the Blue Lion preparing for battle.

The tension was evident in their eyes.

Rather than being scared by the fact that they are fighting demons, they seem to be oppressed by the murderous spirit of the many demons they see there.

“Wake up.”

match!

Schwarz slapped the cheek of the knight who was like that.

“Relax. Do you want to die?”

“Oh, no!”

“Yes, go ahead with that intention. If you go back dead, it will only be a bother to me.”

Schwartz, speaking in a blunt yet cool tone, glanced at me.

I opened my mouth towards him.

“I’m so embarrassed that I’ll be working with Sir Schwartz. I don’t know where to put myself.”

“Saying things that are not in your heart.”

Of course you are, you punk.

Who would like to work with someone like you?

“Sir Yurian!”

Then Linne, who had been waiting among the group of students, intervened.

She comes with a sword, and it seems she intends to go into battle, disobeying Schwartz's order for the students to stand by.

“Linne Rondbell, students stay out.”

Looking at her like that, Schwarz opened his mouth coldly.

It was unexpected. Given his personality, I thought he would draft anyone, no matter who.

“Lord Schwartz is right. Miss Linne should stay with her students.”

“I can fight too.”

“If you make an exception, other students may leave the group too. You know that, right?”

After listing the convincing reasons, Linne barely nodded and returned to where the students were.

– “Kururururuk…….”

The demons that had been surrounding the area from afar finally revealed themselves.

The magic that moves.

As I looked at them, the fatigue from the journey began to gradually subside.

The belligerent 'Yurien', whose 'battle mania' trait is engraved in his blood.

This guy's ego started to heat up at the thought of killing them.

“The fact that there are so many different demons gathered together means that there is a demon nearby that is in command.”

Zahat intervened.

“Where is it located?”

I asked him.

Ask them to tell you the location of the strongest demon through 'Auror Sonar'.

“It’s a forest.”

Zahat pointed to a wooded area in the distance.

'Wow.'

I was inwardly amazed.

How did you know there was a forest there when you couldn't even see it?

“I guess I have to sort things out, Commander.”

I don't like to stand up, but right now I feel like throwing myself into that pit of confusing demons.

Since Yurian's instincts didn't match up to the 'North Pool Barrier', it seems right to resolve it here this time.

“You don’t have to worry. Leave this place to me, Baldhead, and the Knights.”

“Who’s bald!?”

“Then, can’t you say that baldness is abundant?”

These two just keep bickering without stopping whenever they're together.

I left them behind, still growling, and looked at the procession of approaching demons.

'It would be impossible to conduct a detailed command.'

It's impossible for them to form a perfect formation.

As expected, the path leading to where the 'Commander Demon' is can be seen, as if looking at a net with holes in it.

Thanks to the slightly sloppy camp.

Blame──!

The moment I kicked the ground and headed towards it, I felt a presence right next to me.

Schwarz?

It looks like the guy is looking at the same place as me.

– “Kiaaaaaaaah!”

The first demon to approach.

Are hornless demons unintelligent?

Could it be that I can't smell 'Yurien' properly?

Or is it because there are so many people that they don't notice?

Sling.

I looked at the guy and pulled out my moon sword.

The faint moonlight soaked into the sword, and as I cut down the guy with it, the demon's neck fell to the ground with a refreshing feeling.

Chook──!

Next to him, Schwarz was also lightly slashing away at the demon that had rushed at him.

Moreover, the demon's blood splattering behind his blunt face makes him extremely murderous.

“It feels so reassuring to have Lord Schwartz, the Commander of the Knights of the Blue Lion, watching over me.”

Even though you're focused on the fight, you find yourself saying things that your opponent might not like.

This guy's body is a source of resentment. He just does everything I hate.

“You are the one watching my back.”

This guy is also amazing.

I can't believe I'm showing off my pride when I say something that makes me angry.

“Huh……!”

Schwartz was picking up speed. Not to be outdone, I also started to quickly increase the speed at which I swung my sword.

In some cases, killing the Commander Demon has become a competition.

‘… … You’re meddling for no reason.’

I rushed in to sort out the situation without much thought, but that guy got in the way and ended up stimulating my competitive spirit for no reason.

'You need to calm down.'

As I was organizing my thoughts with that in mind, I arrived at the forest where Commander Demon, as Zahat had mentioned, was.

– “Knock, knock.”

As we arrived at the bushy area, my instincts unconsciously told me which side had the strongest 'magic'.

This angle demon.

Is that guy the one who sent the horde of demons?

– “Ki, kikki!”

The guy noticed that two humans were rushing at him, and he started to call other demons towards him.

But it was already too late.

After I had already closed the distance with the two-legged demon who had kicked the ground.

“Ugh.”

With a short shout, he slashes down diagonally with his Moon Sword, and the two-legged demon barely manages to dodge by stepping back.

'Should I use Angelica?'

If you can drag the guy to the shadows, you can easily kill him.

But I decided not to use it now.

After Linnaeus had 'doubts' once, he thought it would be better to protect himself.

– “Key, Kiriririririk!”

Tsk tsk tsk──!

Fortunately, the 'cold' aura began to block the ankles of the guy who was trying to run away.

Schwarz's own aura, 'The Cold Fake Book'

The demon's feet were frozen by a unique aura operation method.

Crunch──!

It wasn't that difficult to kill the demon whose feet were caught.

Like other mob demons, when its head was cut off, the two-horned demon died easily, despite the number of horns it had.

'It was so difficult in the past.'

Now that I know how to kill, it doesn't feel that difficult.

– “Krrrrrrr…….”

When the leader of the demons died, the small demons began to flee, overwhelmed by the spirit of 'Yurien'.

The remaining ones should be enough for the main force, the Knights of the Blue Lion, Zahat, and Pelkor to handle.

'Shall we go back?'

It was at that moment that I was thinking that.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk──!

The frost that had held the two-legged demons back began to envelop me this time.

Of course it was Schwarz's doing. I turned my gaze to him.

“I didn’t think you would be the type of person to do something emotional in a place like this.”

This is the truth.

So I was surprised.

Even if Schwartz, who is known as a cold-blooded person, dislikes 'Yurien' for personal reasons, he would never act as he pleases in a situation like this.

“Don’t talk like you already know everything.”

Schwarz opened his mouth, still speaking in a cold voice.

“There’s one thing I want to ask.”

“If you had something to ask, wouldn’t it have been better to ask it more politely rather than in this situation?”

“Then, you won’t give me any answer.”

Wow, you know me so well.

No, do you know 'Yurien' better than 'me'?

Anyway, I guess you didn't answer.

“Then that is an even more flawed premise. You won’t hear any answer from me.”

“So that’s why you pulled out your sword.”

Tzu-zu-zu, that is.

Like a snake coiling, the aura of 'cold' that had been scattered around me began to gradually settle down to my feet.

'Somewhere, I feel a sense of impatience.'

I haven't seen much of the character 'Schwarz', but I'm starting to feel an inexplicable impatience towards this guy.

First of all, no matter how sensitive he is to 'hate', he wouldn't have drawn his sword in a place like this.

'… … Isn't that it too?'

Come to think of it, the hatred towards Yurian may be stronger than expected.

Of course, he almost ended up like this in the 'Closed Eyes' building.

'Still, I have a strange feeling.'

It's as if I've had that feeling stronger since I visited the 'North Pool Barrier'.

'… … North Pool Barrier.'

As I was thinking that far ahead, I quickly checked Schwarz's complexion.

'aha.'

As I thought about it a little, I started to get the feel of it.
