Third-rate villains and evil demons. (1)

The guy was nasty.

It was so filthy that people would say bullshit that the magic sword worth 10 million gold was defective.

“It was definitely a cheap and inferior product. Now, here. Use whatever sword you want.”

“Ugh… !”

Oh my, sister, that hit me hard.

Since his magical talent was truly zero, when his older sister said that he saw the magic sword as just a sword, he chewed his lips, unable to tell that the magic sword was actually extremely expensive.

So, who told you to blame the sword?

And my sister must have already known that the guy would be nasty, so she dropped a large number of swords from her magic bag and said that they were all good swords and that she would understand when she swung them. Then, she grabbed a random sword and swung it lightly.

-Suddenly.

“Now, look. Cutting down trees is easy, right?”

He emphasized that there was nothing wrong with the sword by splitting one of the few trees left in two vertically due to the incident a few days ago.

If you want, I’ll even give you the sword I used. He said.

“Damn… !”

And he really took the sword his sister used.

Ah, it is a loss to the world that something that was touched by my sister falls into the hands of such a third-rate person.

“Then, start again~”

-Kaaang!!!

“Qu… ?!!”

When a cheap sword suddenly closed the distance and flew at him with the force to cut his face in half, he was able to block it this time.

The problem is that they really just blocked it.

-bang!!

“What… ?!”

With such destructive force as if it had been hit with a hammer, its body flew backwards and crashed into a tree, and before it could even correct its third-rate posture, it rushed forward and swung its head and neck with a sword strike with the intention of making an emergency escape.

-Suddenly!! … Wow!!

“What?!”

I narrowly escaped his sword, but there was no way to avoid the tree behind it.

To the third-rate person’s question, thinking that his neck would have ended up like that originally, he didn’t give any answer and immediately said.

-Pow!!

“Heo-up… ?!!”

I swung my foot and kicked him hard in the side.

Samryu, who had been hit by the blow without being able to defend himself properly because he was almost lying down on the floor to avoid the sword, dropped the sword and started coughing, but the cheap guy’s attack had no intention of stopping.

It’s as if he really intends to pierce my brother.

“[Enemy… Magic] [Lv. 2] [Blowing… [Dung]!!”

However, the guy with the cough was chanting faster than his sword could reach.

As the flames exploded beneath his feet, he quickly retreated, retrieving the sword he was swinging. Samryu, who grabbed the sword he had dropped, screamed with bloodshot eyes.

“Fuck!! What on earth have you done?! you!! Didn’t you just drink illegal drugs!!”

“Such dishonorable behavior unbecoming of a knight. I don’t do it.”

“Don’t be funny! You are not even a knight!! This bastard was no match for me until just a week ago!! Then how did you become so strong!!”

“I received training. To my teacher and brother.”

“… It’s a disaster!!”

As if that was the end of the conversation, the third-rate person fired red magic as if to kill him, who started to rush at him again.

And the way he dodged the attack so lightly and gradually narrowed the distance indicated that the game was already over.

Because although his magic is powerful in its own way, if it doesn’t hit you directly.

-Paaaang!

“Huh… ?!!”

Because it was just a level of destructive power that could be ignored and rushed at.

“Huh. Still, perhaps because he is my older brother, he is quite considerate of me. … Was the training less difficult?”

As soon as I turned my eyes to Yuria’s voice, which followed after smashing the fireball that flew at her with a shoulder charge, she was ready to intervene at any time.

Still, he probably won’t let his brother get killed.

I wonder what kind of training Ssagaji went through to acquire the sharpness, strength, and forged lethality of a knight who had been trained for such a long time in just 5 days, but what I had to do now was not to watch the end of the ‘already finished’ duel.

‘Wait a minute, sneak peek.’

I gently pushed Miss Loretta, who was close to me, to sit next to her, and then left the place.

Oh, the probability of death has dropped.

“You are hiding behind the lifestyles of young people and giving off a disgusting lifestyle. Are you a pervert?”

“Heeheehee! Yeah, I guess I’m a bit of a pervert, don’t I? But it’s strange, how did you know?”

The alley outside the academy.

When I spoke to the man on the low roof where I could almost see the duel between the two, he tilted his head and looked at me as if he was genuinely curious.

“Other people might not know this, but if you thought people in the same industry wouldn’t notice, you’d be a little disappointed.”

“Heeheehee!! I see~! That’s right, really. I knew you were a black magician.”

The guy who understood what I meant coolly admitted that he had made a mistake and moved on.

Yes, he used ‘black magic’ to interfere with the duel between the two earlier.

Rather than kicking someone in the side so they can’t breathe and ending with a sword strike, a third-rate person will first set things in order and chant magic.

Does that make sense?

If he had been a cheap person before, it could be assumed that he did it because he was weak-hearted and pitied his older brother.

He may have thought that he was being looked at as Yuria commented earlier.

But, unfortunately, the problem was that the situation seemed completely different to me, a ‘like this guy’ black magician.

“Dark Magic Lv. 5 Black eyes. It is a magic trick that causes the opponent to feel extreme pressure and be wary. A magic trick that reduces your mental strength by preventing you from concentrating and making you worry about whether you are being cornered or whether you are falling into a trap. Is it okay for an adult to use something like that in a fight between kids?”

“Heeheehee! Isn’t it great? The information includes Black Magic Lv. I heard it was 3. How do you know everything? Strange~? You are not a criminal.”

I shrugged my shoulders when I saw the guy talking as if he knew me.

Perhaps, as I was gathering my information, I also confirmed information from the kingdom.

“Actually, I didn’t want to get involved, but I had no choice, right~? If the client over there gets stabbed to death, I won’t get the money?”

“Damn. Pretending that money is the goal.”

“… Kihihihi! Huh? Did you know that too?”

The guy, who was shaking his hunchback-like back and laughing, finally turned to look at me and continued speaking with a maniacal smile.

“Actually, if the client over there is gone, I have no justification for killing you~ So I had no choice but to help out, and my position was discovered like this~?”

I stroked my chin as he said that it was as if he had done it on purpose to trap me, to drag me here.

Wow, I didn’t shave today.

“Still, I’m glad~ You’re a capable black magician, so you noticed my interference and came all the way here, so even if I kill you here now, I won’t get the reputation of being unprofessional for killing you even though it wasn’t a request… “

“Haaa~ Stop the fucking. Why do demons care about humans’ reputations? I’m not really good at acting, so if you’re an aspiring actor, you should look into other dreams.”

Stand tall. It seemed like a sound was heard.

The guy who was happily explaining the situation stopped at my words with a bewildered look on his face and looked me up and down with his pupils rolling, which was disgusting.

And after a few seconds, the guy erased his expression and let out a humorless voice as if he was a different person from before.

“It’s strange. How did know? I killed all the humans who knew I was a demon.”

The moment the guy admits that he is a demon, the quest window starts updating noisily.

Ha, damn it. It’s been a few days since I left the kingdom. Will I encounter demons again in the empire? Also, why are you hiding the fact that it’s this guy and now you’re letting it out?

It’s really a grumpy god and status window.

Killer Cutlass, also known as the Sutter Rat. This is the guy who fights Raoul, the main character from the Empire story, in the middle of the novel.

The reason I knew it was him the first time I saw him was because he was a black magician with an ugly face and a hunchback that seemed to have been copied straight from the description in a novel.

And it was because he said he was a murderer and seemed to care about his reputation.

Usually demons have no qualms about killing humans, but this guy is a truly perverted psycho demon who enjoys receiving murder requests from people while pretending to care about it.

There’s a demon talking about him at the end of the story, and even the guys who usually don’t care about other demons even say that Cutlass is a perverted psychopath, so I’ve said it all.

“No way. Was there a person somewhere that I couldn’t kill and escaped alive? weird. They all ripped out their heads and chewed off their spines.”

And the reason it is called a guttural rat is because it eats up human corpses like a rat and leaves them behind.

It is a tinnitus that arose from killing a person by pulling out its head using black magic, only eating its internal organs like a rat and leaving the shell behind.

“Hey, won’t you tell me? If I say I missed it, it seems like it would be the client’s fault. Because there are multiple people requesting it at once. I wonder who I missed.”

“I see. Are you curious about who you missed?”

“Yes. I’m really curious. who is this? I need to find it and eat it. Instead, if you tell me, I will kill you cleanly without hurting you.”

The content of the conversation made me wonder if it would have been better to just pretend to be a crazy person, and without realizing it, I was picking my ears.

Oh, I guess I’ll ask my sister to dig my ears later. That bastard’s voice makes me feel like my earlobes are rotten.

“How about it? Aren’t these pretty good conditions for you, who are about to die?”

“Your mom.”

“?”

“I missed the tip.”

It was a mocking comment about his hunchbacked appearance, but he tilted his head as if he was really worried, thinking about his mother who could not possibly exist.
