Playing the Perfect Fox-Eyed Villain Chapter 86

Episode 86. Let's Talk (1)

Perhaps because the space was so narrow, the magic flowing out of the sealed room was so strong that it was quite tense.

What can be seen beyond Yurian's back is the hideously twisted form of a demon.

I haven't seen many of them, but this is the first time I've seen such a nasty and disgusting demon.

In addition, there are two horns on its head.

'It's a different angle.'

What this means is that it is a demon powerful enough to tear apart a normal person in an instant.

But Linnaeus wasn't particularly scared.

The unfinished 'Aura' was holding her back, but now she had a strong ally right by her side.

“It’s just a ‘different angle’.”

The gently curved glass eyes become even more steeply curved.

Is it because he is happy to have met the demon, or is it because he is confident that he can do nothing about it?

Sling.

“Huh-huh,” Yurian said with a short laugh as he pulled out his sword.

When the sword made of the gem called the 'Moonstone' was revealed, Linne's sense of relief became even more evident.

A small amount of confidence began to bloom that this situation would somehow be resolved by the hands of the expert who was the master of demon subjugation.

“A demon of this level is extremely dangerous, as it has both resilience and strength that surpass those of a normal demon. It is a very scary opponent.”

Yurian glanced at Linne and muttered naturally that 'Lee Gak' was scary, but she knew.

That this situation was not at all difficult for him.

***

'This is crazy, it's so weird.'

I clicked my tongue inwardly as I faced the demon before my eyes.

Even though I used tricks, I have experience catching triangle-level demons. Based on that experience, it would be normal to feel that it is not difficult to defeat a two-legged demon.

'Because the place is the place… … .'

Right now, we are inside a moving train.

It was an emergency situation that required an abrupt stop, but unless there was an obvious 'forced stop', this train could only slow down once it entered the station.

Of course, that 'other'.

'If that guy causes a ruckus and the train derails, it's over.'

Grrrrrrr──!

The demon groaned softly, raised his head, looked around, and soon met my eyes.

The bloated body, with the staff uniform of the resonance train hanging in tatters between them.

It looks like they used fake horns.

'One of the staff members was a member of the Yeomyeonghoe.'

After quickly identifying the demon, I looked around the room, which was wider than the others.

One of the carriages was exclusively for VVIPs. In the corner, Yulis was shivering, covered in blood.

When I see that sight, bad thoughts run through my mind.

'… Ugh.'

Although it is a temporary contract.

– 'What on earth have you been doing as the captain of the guard protecting the royal family!'

Chief Secretary Se-deun will scold him and hold him accountable.

A separate disciplinary committee will be formed, and the council of elders, who were already a thorn in my side and were desperate to expel me from the system, will properly rescue me from this bait.

'X is done.'

But it's not too late yet.

Isn't the prince alive?

In order to overcome this situation even now, I injected mana into the Moon Sword and took a step forward.

'I have to get his attention on me.'

The demon's gaze was focused on me as the sword began to glow softly.

'good!'

Creak.

Once more, with a short groan, the guy tilts his head, and I quickly kick the ground to close the distance between me and the demon.

“Lord Yurian! That demon’s blood and saliva are poisonous!”

Damn it! You should've told me that sooner.

Despite Yulsis's urgent cries, since they had vowed to resolve the matter quickly, they could not stop.

As I closed the distance, I immediately drew my sword against the demon's left leg.

Because of his size, which was larger than Pelkor's, his sword could easily reach any place he stretched out.

Cheek──!

Blood spurted out from the demon's skin cut by the moonlight sword.

You might think, 'It's just blood,' but the problem is that when the viscous demon blood sprayed into the air, it turned into steam.

'I guess this is what Yulsis said.'

It appears to be a type that is not a typical poison, but rather one that undergoes an oxidation reaction when exposed to air.

If so, it is dangerous to be near that steam.

I try to figure out a way to take a step back from where some of the air has turned purple.

'It's the worst demon in a closed space.'

I wasn't flustered because it wasn't my first time 'seeing' this kind of guy.

There are numerous strategies in mind, but it is still difficult to deal with.

Normally, you have to fight with the wind at your back to have an advantage, but here, there is no wind at all.

“That demon’s blood seems to turn into a poisonous mist when it touches the air.”

“It looks like that.”

I know that too.

“What should I do? If I kill him like this, the corpse will continue to emit poisonous mist.”

As Linne said, even if we kill that demon, the poison gas from its corpse will completely fill this carriage.

There is also a way to deal with it first and then move it with Yulsis.

If you leave the gas alone, it can explode even with a small spark, so it cannot be left alone.

As I was wondering if there was a better way, something crossed my mind.

A scene I saw on TV in the past came to mind.

'If it's dangerous to leave it alone, then just take it off.'

It's a good thing this car is at the very back.

“Miss Linne.”

"yes?"

“Would you please move Prince Yulsis to the front room?”

“……Other than that, wouldn’t it be better to figure out a way to defeat the demon together?”

“Is that all you can do with that level of skill?”

Shh.

I know what it looks like when I'm smiling.

“I’ll take care of it, so would you just follow what I say?”

But before my eyes, Linne was just staring blankly at me, unlike usual.

Is this not enough?

Just as I was trying to think of another persuasive statement

"all right."

Surprisingly, Linne readily agreed.

As she runs towards Yulsis, the demon's eyes turn around and then settle on Linne.

Feeling it, I quickly swung my sword towards where the demon's core was.

Of course I didn't think I could handle it with this, but the demon simply raised both hands to defend it.

Thud!

Even though I blocked it, I guess it can't be helped that the wound was left behind.

Chiiik──!

When the blood from the sunken scar touched the Moon Sword, a chemical reaction occurred and it turned into fog.

Originally, this would have been a reaction that would have damaged the sword, but the aura of the 'Moonlight Sword' prevented it.

‘… … The smell, it’s really bad.’

Any more, if I extend the wound, I'll have to inhale a lot of that poison gas.

“Sir Yurian, it’s okay!”

At that moment, Linne's scream is heard.

'Okay! Here… … .'

I concentrated my mana on my right foot and kicked the demon away.

A ridiculous combination of strength and aura.

KWAAANG──!

Thanks to that, the demon was pushed to the very back of the train.

“Cruck, cruck.”

Of course, the demon of the two angles didn't fall enough to be kicked, but this was enough.

“Move, Miss Linne.”

"yes yes!?"

“To the next square!”

At first, Linne had a puzzled look on her face, but as soon as I suddenly ran out, she quickly followed me while supporting the prince.

“Kuaaak──!”

Then, the pushed demon began to howl loudly and started to run towards us.

Dadadadada.

The sight of him foolishly running towards her, shaking off all the furniture, looked quite ferocious.

As I watched the prince and Linne pass through the train joint, I swung my sword at the demon once more.

Phew!

The guy steps back again, blocking with his arm, but this time the attack isn't intended to hurt.

It's just to buy time.

I took a step back and crossed the room.

The demon's ominous face is seen coming closer as it rushes towards you, seemingly ready to break down the door.

“What are you going to do, Sir Yurian!”

Leaving Linne behind, who was shouting urgently, I pulled out my sword and stuck it into the train's connector.

Sigh.

Because it was a sword wrapped in an aura, it went in too easily, beyond the strength of most swordsmen.

Now I just need to cut that off.

“What are you trying to do now?!”

“I said that because I think recycling needs to be separated.”

“Are you planning on separating that carriage? It’s impossible! The connecting part is made of magically treated steel…….”

<Amazing Intuition>

<Insight>

Kaang──!

Contrary to Linnaeus's claims, the steel joints cracked easily.

Even with magical treatment, Yurian's keen eye and characteristics made it easy to identify its weaknesses.

“Ugh.”

However, it was impossible to completely cut off the connector, as the crack was cool.

“Look at that! As expected, cutting the connector with a sword is hard… Huh?”

I started to channel 'Sombra' into the Moon Sword.

'If it's not enough, we have to fill it.'

You can compensate for the lack of power by using the recoil of Sombra and the Moon Sword.

Pakang──!

Once again, the connector snapped completely, with a cracking sound.

As I looked at the demon, thinking, 'Goodbye,' the thing ran to the end of the train, kicked the ground, and jumped here.

'What are you doing jumping far?'

puck!

The guy who was rolling on the floor after I kicked him soon looks at us and roars.

“Kuaaak──!”

He tried to run, but he was only a demon and couldn't keep up with the train's speed, and soon he turned into a dot and disappeared.

Linne, who was watching this series of actions, stared blankly at me and then at the VIP car moving away.

“……But what about that separated carriage? The rooftop might be held responsible.”

The person in charge of the resonance train is the famously picky Matap. That's why Linne looked worried.

“I’m sure His Highness Prince Yulsis, the Little Sun of the Almighty Empire, will take care of that.”

What if it's a rooftop? What are you going to do?

The royal family is behind us now.

***

Upon arriving at our destination, the border town of Bernidan, the sight of a busy station caught my eye.

Perhaps the officials came because one of the carriages was damaged along with the visit of the Fourth Prince.

“Your Majesty, are you feeling well!?”

“Look at this wound! What on earth was the captain of the guard doing?”

Officials who were angry at the prince's injury began to use his prestige as a shield to slander me.

Those guys don't seem to think about the future.

My name is 'Yurien'.

“Stop it, I brought this on myself.”

“Ha, but Your Highness Yulsis…….”

“I wanted to gather my thoughts alone, so I left the captain of the guard in a different room. That was my mistake.”

“But we should have anticipated this attack and prepared countermeasures!”

Thud thud.

The nobleman who had been raising his voice became speechless as I approached.

“Now, in front of whom are you praising your castle?”

“No, I just…….”

“How disrespectful. Your words and actions go against His Majesty the King’s… no, against the will of the Imperial Family.”

Clang──!

Slowly, he moved his hand to the scabbard at his waist, and the air around him became heavy.

The smiling executioner.

Even if it is not an institution, there are many who know the name. And what happens when he mentions the name of the 'Imperial Family'?

“Why don’t you stop? Sir Yurian.”

Before anything could happen, Yulsis intervened for me. Naturally, I had no intention of drawing my sword here.

This is just a performance for my future self.

“Yes, I apologize, Your Majesty.”

After greeting politely, I glanced at the nobleman who had been raising his voice.

The title of 'Emperor' of the Adratan Empire only asks for the nobility of blood, and does not ask about gender.

Therefore, Yulsis, who has not only three older brothers but also four older sisters, is far from the line of succession to the throne.

Yet the nobility of blood does not disappear.

If it was the original 'Yurien', it would have been a happy situation because it gave her a justification.

'I'm not mentally ill.'

Of course not. I absolutely will not!

Even though he was injured, his determination to head towards the Holy Land was not broken, and Yulsis did not give up until the very end.

In fact, it was for Yulsis' own base.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a matter of life and death, so it seems like he doesn't want to give up.

“Lord Yurian, thank you for your hard work.”

"yes."

“The assailants who attacked the train have been arrested.”

As I was looking around the station, the 'Closed Eyes' agents stationed in the border city approached me.

They had already arrested members of the Dawn Society who had attacked the train together with the border guards.

“By any chance, wasn’t there a balding, large guy among the assailants?”

Among them, I specifically mentioned Pelkor.

The closed-eyed Daewon nodded, wondering if there was a person who came to mind first when I asked him my question.

“Yes, there is.”

“Then just let him go.”

“……Yes? What’s wrong?”

Daewon asked back, seeming embarrassed by what I said.

If you're just being picky, just be picky.

Because I have thought about everything.

***

Pelkor, a former member of the Knights of the Blue Lion, ran his hand over the wound he had previously received from Yurian.

He knows why this wound is so painful.

Because the person who caused this wound was walking right in front of me.

'Ugh… … .'

Pelkor looked at his arm.

There were handcuffs around his wrists, used to arrest criminals.

Felcor, who had only used it but had never experienced it before, felt nervous and sweat dripped down his back.

“Where on earth do you plan on going!”

“Please be quiet.”

Even when I complained, Yurian didn't respond except to tell me to be quiet.

But it's not a situation where you can escape.

His arms are tied, and Yurian has far more mana and physical abilities than him.

He is still alive because of his whims, but if you offend him, your head could literally fall off your neck.

“Hey, hey Yurian. I don’t know why Aiden gave such an order either! After Alphas died, my position in the church became ambiguous…….”

“Is that so?”

Even when I talked about the past as if it were a confession, Yurian didn't seem interested.

How many more minutes passed like that?

As they got far enough away that the lights illuminating the night of the border town of Bernidun were no longer visible, Yurian muttered to himself.

“It would be nice if it were here.”

Crunch.

Yurian freed Pelkor from his handcuffs.

'huh?'

He looked at Yurian with a dumbfounded expression.

'What are you planning?'

Pelkor stares at him for a moment and then pokes him with a hopeful mind.

“Oh, right. So you brought me here to set me free! After all, if you set me free in the city, there will be a lot of eyes watching me!”

“Haha.”

Instead of answering, Yulian gave a short laugh.

“Well, I know a lot, so if I get caught, you’ll be in trouble too! Of course, the ‘Closed Eyes’, an exclusive agency of the Imperial Family… huh?”

chin.

Yurian cut off Pelkor's rambling and handed him one of the sticks he was holding.

It was a dark night with no lights to be found, so Pelkor couldn't make out its shape very well, but upon closer inspection, its outline began to take shape.

This is… … a shovel?

“Yurien! Why are you giving this to me?”

“Don’t you know what a shovel is for?”

Although he was smiling as usual, Pelkor was slightly upset by the somewhat foolish tone of his voice.

“To dig up or bury something…….”

Ask something.

There are endless things that can go into that 'something'.

“You know very well. So, would you please dig it? As wide and large as possible.”

Shh.

Unlike Yurian who was smiling, Pelkor's face became stern.

'I will dig my own grave… …?'
