Third-rate villains and evil demons. (2)

“”[Dark Magic] [Lv. 1] [Sword of Darkness]””

-Kakakakang!!”

He and I chanted at the same time, and the fired black swords made a loud sound of metal clashing, canceling each other out and evaporating in the air.

-Fit!

“2 points.”

“… … “

However, the number of swords I made and the magic power they contained were small, so they were pushed back in terms of power, leaving a neatly drawn stab wound on the end of my arm.

This is the second time. The guy was counting the points to see that he was winning.

“It’s fascinating. From what I found out, you are Lv. It’s only been a few months since I reached 3. In addition, there was information that he was a scoundrel who didn’t study properly at the academy and skipped school, so how could he be a ‘skilled’ Lv. It cancels out 3’s attack so cleanly, right?”

It’s not sarcasm, it’s not a question.

You can’t tell from his expression or eyes that he’s just talking to himself out of pure curiosity.

I wiped away the blood by rubbing it with my arm before it spilled onto my torn clothes, and he immediately chanted the next magic trick as if he had no complaints about me not saying anything.

“”[Dark Magic] [Lv. 1][Black Hand]””

-Papa Papa Papa Papa!! Sigh!!

“Hmm. 3 points for this. It’s really amazing, just one thing. I don’t think you’re such a great magician that you’re just one move behind.”

The black hand clashed with the black hand, canceling each other out, and if I used a hand full of magical power to shake off the remaining black hand that was sticking to the injured arm as if it was about to rip it off, the guy wouldn’t question my actions at all.

He just keeps talking to himself as if he’s surprised that the information he found doesn’t match what I said.

“Well, okay. Anyway, that’s all I found out. Are you at Black Magic Lv. 3, but Lv. I also received information that only 1 magic can be used. If this doesn’t work out well, can you show it to me now? I’ll adjust it to your level.”

Spear of darkness, sword of darkness, black hand. The guy who was testing me with these three magic tricks started waiting for me, asking me to show him as soon as possible, and I shrugged my shoulders and finally answered what felt like a question.

“That’s right. Those are the only three magic tricks I know how to do right now”

“Hmm, that’s too bad. There was also information that you were the black magic tower’s best disciple, but the magic tower master didn’t tell you anything?”

Even if you say that with a completely sad expression.

In fact, a few months ago, Master gave me Lv. It was just before he taught me the magic of number 2.

It’s just that due to circumstances on my part, I ended up doing something that would disappoint her, and I haven’t learned anything since.

Since it wasn’t something to talk about to the demons, I swallowed that fact bitterly and chanted the spear of darkness again and hurled it at the demon.

“[Dark Magic] [Spear of Darkness]”

-Kagagagagagagak!! Kaang!!

He finally skipped the level chant and destroyed my attack with a stronger spear, then fired a magic spell powerful enough to reach my neck. I twisted my body to avoid it and then adjusted my posture again.

“Hmm. It’s not fun. You have talent, but you didn’t put in the effort? or not… “

Was the teacher incompetent?

The guy who spoke up to that point said that the Black Magic Tower Lord was that strong, but was he actually incompetent? He muttered to himself and nodded as if he had realized something.

“Good. If this is the level of the best disciple, then the level of the teacher can also be seen. It’s not my style to go into other people’s territory, but the intestines of the magic tower master, said to be the strongest in the kingdom, must be a delicacy, right? The spine will definitely be more savory too. and… “

-If you were to chew off the head of your best student right in front of him, it would be easy for him to get excited and knock it down, right?

The guy who tried to provoke me like that finally skipped not only the level, but also the magic color, and started performing attacks at the level of using an advanced catalyst.

“”[Sword of Darkness] [Spear of Darkness] [Black Hand]””

And when I used the Intermediate Catalyst I had in my magic bag to block the attack by chanting and canceling with the guy, the guy said ‘Hehe’ and acted ‘like a human’ in surprise.

Really…

“It’s so disgusting, seeing something that isn’t even a human pretending to be a human.”

“Yes. I know, but when humans do this, there are times when they forget that the thing in front of them is a demon, right? Even if you know.”

Rather than being interesting, I remember the setting of the web novel I read and the story about demons written in books about this world, but it seemed more like a description of what would happen if a mosquito had the size and brains of a human.

It’s not like they were born in a place where there was nothing and grew up working hard and learning things, but demons are stronger than humans, stronger than humans. And they kill people for no reason.

They do not take pleasure in killing people, nor do they enjoy being strong.

They say they act like humans, pretend to feel emotions like humans, and act like they want something, but their actions are just ‘imitating’ the humans they have seen.

Rather than killing to protect the species, reproduce, or satisfy personal desires, they are beings with the bizarre concept of killing because the other person is human.

And the ending of the book was that there was only one means to eradicate them, and it is no exaggeration to say that I have lived as a third-rate villain for that purpose.

No, is this a bit of an exaggeration?

“Then, what color internal organs will you show? Now let’s open the lid.”

“Phew.”

“?”

“Are you really curious?”

“… you are really funny Talk to me as if you know me.”

“Is that fun?”

“… … “

The guy was silent at my words.

okay. He talks as if he enjoys killing people, as if he is obsessed with tormenting, making people suffer, and cruelly eating them, but in reality, that is not the case at all. just.

“The answer I found by optimizing the behavior of killing people by adding a few more actions is to make the other person feel bad and excited. Real demons are ‘low and imbecile’.”

“[Dark Magic][Lv. 4][Black Pillar]”

-Kwagwagagak!!!

It is nothing more than a foolish act of imitation that they do in order to make themselves look like they are honest and have something, and to make the person who recognizes them feel like they are a higher being.

Did it hurt to hit the nail on the head?

The guy finally started using a level of magic that I couldn’t use, so I struggled to twist my body and used catalyst-based chant cancellation magic to keep him in check and increase the distance.

“… A weak human being talks like shit?”

“You’re so good at talking that you can’t even eradicate a weak human being who talks shit?”

They have no feelings of anger or hatred.

Reacting as if you are excited by what I say is just a result of imitating what you have learned from seeing such behavior.

Of course, it is so delicate and sophisticated that it seems like it actually has emotions, which adds to the disgust.

“Do you think demons can’t exterminate humans?”

“Of course. If you could, you would have already killed everyone.”

“You fool. Demons are stronger than humans.”

“And because they are weaker than humans, they hide like you and only go around killing people who are weaker than them?”

“It won’t work. I will catch you alive, then eat your teacher in front of you and then kill him.”

It’s not like he’s attached to his species, but looking at this guy who imitates humans so much that he just spits things out without even knowing what he’s talking about, the uncanny valley theory comes to mind.

As expected, being something that resembles a human yet is so different is disgusting.

[Level: 60]

[Name: Cutlass.]

[Role: Demon.]

[Status: Murderous Demon]

[Attribute: (Dark Magic Lv. 5)]

It seems even more so because the very brief status window shows how much anger and hatred the guy expresses on the outside and how many lies his words contain.

I couldn’t avoid all of his increasingly intense magic, and in the end, I got stabbed in the arm, clicked my tongue, and retreated to the rooftop of another building. As if he was angry, he used the next magic and immediately started chasing me.

‘Good.’ ‘It’s going according to plan.’

So I gradually moved away from him, the academy, and the city.

*

“Is this the end? You speak well, but your magic skills are really poor.”

“Write it down. Phew.”

I was drooling as I listened to the words of the man who was able to catch me with his black hand only after we were quite far from the city.

‘I lost a lot of blood, but I wonder if the same clothes were in the dorm.’

“I’d rather move to ask for help from the prisoner who was there earlier. If that were the case, I would have been in danger too.”

I looked around while listening to the guy talking as if he was trying to tell me how foolish my actions were and how inferior I was to him.

First of all, I don’t think anyone will intervene here or see this situation and come to help.

“First, I’ll pull out all your limbs. Oh, don’t worry. Among the demons I know, there is one who is good at recovery magic. Even if you die from losing a lot of blood, you can still save that much.”

“Phew. You idiot, that’s not saving the life, it’s necromancy. I wonder how imbecile he really is.”

“… … “

I snorted at the way the corner of the hunchbacked demon’s mouth lifted when he heard me, as if reminding me of the light that I first saw.

Even if you don’t say anything, it’s a video.

“Like you… “

“Have you seen many people who pretend to be strong? Are you looking forward to crying and begging for your life after your arm is ripped off? Well, what else is there, ah. okay. Are you going to eat my limbs in front of me? Is there anything else you want to say?”

“… … “

“There’s no way it exists. Because you lowly demons have a set repertoire of pretending to imitate crazy people. What kind of killer were you following? Huh?”

As if this was the trigger, the guy stopped talking and came towards me and grabbed my arm.

It looks like they’re really going to rip out the limbs, but unfortunately that won’t be possible.”

-Quap.

“I will boil your bones and flesh and feed it to your teacher.”

“Pukkeukkeuk!! Oh, what? Have you been thinking about that until now?”

I can’t believe he was actually thinking of a different message, this is such a ridiculous demon.

I laughed out loud when I saw that guy, and I thought that I would have to change this laugh, which seemed so third-rate even to me, at some point.

“But what? That won’t work. [Dark Magic] [Lv. 0]… “

“Huh? What are you doing? You have no magic left… Level zero… ?”

I pulled the corner of my mouth and smiled when I saw that the eyes of the guy who knew about my magic power, which had been completely emptied as I ran away, finally expressed surprise for the first time about something called the ‘unknown’ instead of an imitated emotion.

“[advance payment] … Look carefully. You villain. Because this is how a first-rate, third-rate villain fights.”

The arm of the guy who grabbed my arm and the black hand he used to grab me exploded like firecrackers.
