I Reincarnated as a Villainous Noble and Want to Enjoy a Laid-Back Harem Life – I Have No Intention of Getting Involved in the Main Story, Just Want to Live Comfortably with My Female Slaves, but Everyone Around Me Keeps Treating Me Like a Hero - Chapter 1.10

The intruder had turned into a monster.

Faced with it, I hesitated… My fighting style was rather unusual—distorted, even. Was it really okay to reveal it in public like this?

Even with the enemy right before me, such a leisurely thought crossed my mind.

“Graaaah!”

But that moment of hesitation was shattered immediately.

“Tch…”

I had been standing there, composed and confident, but the intruder charged at me with a speed far beyond my expectations, forcing me to dodge in a hurry.

As I retreated, a thick arm swung past the very spot I had just been. That would have hurt if it had hit me.

The intruder was faster than I had anticipated. If my reaction had been just a little slower, I would have taken a direct hit from that painfully powerful arm.

Close one.

To be safe, I took another step back, further distancing myself from the monster’s reach.

“Raaaah!”

As if refusing to let me escape, the intruder conjured a sword through magic and lunged, aiming for my neck.

“Too bad.”

In response, I didn’t attempt to dodge.

“My mouth isn’t my only one, you know.”

Just before the intruder’s sword could reach my neck, my flesh split open on its own.

From within the wound, a second mouth—lined with fangs—emerged.

The newly formed mouth chomped down on the intruder’s blade, shattering it and rendering the attack useless.

This opponent was stronger than I had expected.

That meant I wouldn’t hold back.

“Naah!?”

『『◆◆◆』』

Using both my normal mouth and the one inside my neck, I began chanting a spell.

A single spell, woven from two separate incantations—my original composite magic.

Any spell created this way was far stronger than ordinary magic.

A beam of light was unleashed.

There was no way to dodge it—it moved at the speed of light.

The intruder took the full brunt of it head-on.

My target was the neck.

My aim was precise.

The beam erased the monster’s neck, severing its head cleanly from its body.

“Oh?”

And yet, even after being beheaded, the intruder did not stop.

Its headless body took another step forward, reaching out toward me.

“You’ve abandoned your humanity to this extent?”

I hadn’t expected it to keep moving even after losing its head.

I thought that last attack would have been the end of it.

This intruder… is more monstrous than I gave it credit for.

But still, I have no intention of losing.

“Hmph.”

I caught the incoming attack with my right arm, deflecting it, then swung my left arm—imbued with magical light—like a blade, slicing off the intruder’s arm.

Yet even after losing a limb, it still didn’t stop.

With its remaining arm, it aimed an uppercut at my chin.

I avoided it by jumping into the air.

In response, the monster swung its long leg upward, trying to strike me midair.

“Too slow.”

But before its attack could reach me, my tail shot out.

It tore through my clothing as it extended, impaling the intruder’s leg and forcefully slamming it back to the ground.

“My unarmed combat is strong too, you know? And no, complaints about it not being a ‘hand’ are not accepted. Just shut up and die.”

I used my tail to crush the monster’s other leg as well.

Then, as if flowing naturally into the next move, I shattered its remaining hand.

“Bind.”

With that, all that was left was to restrain it completely using magic-forged chains.

“Capture complete. My win.”

With all four limbs lost, there was no way it could break free from these chains.

They were specifically designed to counteract magic as well.

“Now then.”

With the intruder successfully captured, I retracted my tail and concealed it once more.

Then, I turned my attention to my surroundings, gauging the reactions of those who had witnessed the battle.
