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 2.16

“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

With magic sealed off in this space, the elf—no, calling her “elf pervert” might be a bit much. I should at least show some restraint.

“……”

Hamenos raised her massive club and swung it down toward me. I watched it with a composed gaze, effortlessly sidestepping the attack.

The swing had power, but it wasn’t particularly fast.

A simple shift of my torso was enough to evade it.

“Tch.”

She swung a second time. I took a step back, avoiding it just as easily.

“Here.”

Then, stepping forward, I swung my sword, aiming for her shoulder.

Hamenos relied on brute force, gripping her club with both hands. If I could disable even one of her shoulders, her fighting ability would drop significantly.

“Not so fast!”

I was certain my strike would land—she had already committed to her attack and had no way to pull back in time.

However, without hesitation, Hamenos abandoned her weapon, lunging at me instead. By closing the distance to zero, she forcefully avoided my sword strike.

“Do you really want to be in my arms that badly?”

Seeing her reckless approach, I too discarded my sword without a second thought.

Instead, I caught Hamenos in my arms and crushed her in a brutal embrace.

“Gah—!?”

Holding her tightly, I exerted raw strength, bending her body in ways it was never meant to move.

“D-Don’t underestimate meeeee!”

Despite the agony of her body twisting unnaturally, she clenched her fists and hammered them down on my head from above.

She was much taller than me—attacking from above was an advantage she could fully exploit.

“That won’t work.”

A simple punch.

A barehanded attack like that wouldn’t faze me.

Of course, if I had taken a direct hit from that giant club, I might have felt it, but this? This was nothing.

Ignoring all of her resistance, I continued applying pressure, forcing her body to break under my grip.

“Guhh—!”

A dull crack echoed from within Hamenos.

“Hmph. Without magical reinforcement, this takes too long. How inefficient.”

With that, I finally let her go.

She collapsed onto the ground in a disgraceful heap, rolling across the floor.

“Haa… haa… haa…”

Her face contorted in pain, sweat dripping from her forehead as she struggled to move.

“‘…Return.’”

Even so, her will to fight had not been broken.

She tried to repair the damage by restoring her broken bones with magic.

“W-Why…?!”

But it didn’t work.

Her eyes widened in shock.

By now, the magic she had cast to prevent spell activation had already dissipated.

By all logic, she should have been able to use magic again.

“It’s pointless. That spell? I took it over.”

The magic that nullified spellcasting was now being maintained by me.

I had no intention of letting her use magic again.

“Now then, let’s have a little chat, shall we?”

“Khh—!”

Pressing my foot down on her broken waist, I looked down at her with cold amusement.
