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 2.20

As I steadily approached, the massive creature before me halted, its movements pausing as its grotesque mouth slowly began to open.

From within, a suffocating wave of heat spilled out, thick and oppressive. Between its jagged teeth, an ominous red glow flickered, pulsing like molten lava.

Then, in the next instant, the beast inhaled deeply, its chest expanding unnaturally.

The surrounding air grew deathly cold. Silence blanketed the battlefield.

And then—

『GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!』

The monster exhaled.

A torrent of flames erupted from its gaping maw, a blast so intense it resembled a volcanic eruption. The scorching inferno surged forward, consuming everything in its path.

“Quite the spectacle.”

The breath attack carried enough force to shake the very foundation of the dimensional space I had created.

Raising a single hand, I responded.

『『■』』

My outstretched hand cracked and expanded—

Transforming into a massive, grotesque mouth that swallowed the inferno whole.

“Heh… That was quite the surge of magic.”

As I absorbed the blast, consuming its raw energy, I couldn’t help but smile.

This thing might actually be stronger than I expected.

『『『■■■』』』

I conjured additional mouths upon both palms and began chanting.

A triad of mouths—my own included—spoke in unison, weaving together three separate spells into a single, combined force.

A tremendous surge of energy coalesced at my fingertips—

And then, I released it.

『AaaaaAaaAAAaaaaaaAAAAAH!』

There was no precise targeting.

No finesse.

Just pure, raw destruction.

The seething mass of energy surged toward the beast, coiling around its massive body, consuming it like a living storm of color and chaos.

『AAAAaaaAAAaaaAAAAAHH!』

Yet, even as its flesh melted away, the monster refused to fall.

Wherever its body liquefied, new masses of flesh rapidly bubbled and burst forth, regenerating at an unnatural rate.

No matter how much I burned away, its restoration outpaced the damage.

“Tch.”

Adjusting my strategy, I extended the blade of my sword with magic and swung.

A single clean slash—

And the beast was cleaved in half.

『AAAAaaAAAAaaAaaaaaaAAAaaaAAAH!』

But still, it did not die.

From the severed halves, strands of flesh wriggled, reaching for each other, attempting to reconnect.

“Not happening. If you think you can recover in front of me, you’re gravely mistaken.”

I refused to let it reattach.

Raising my hand, I severed each connecting strand of flesh with precision magic.

“Hmm. It seems your regeneration is reaching its limit.”

Opening my arms, I manifested additional mouths across them.

My skin cracked apart, revealing countless rows of jagged teeth and writhing tongues.

From these gaping maws, I unleashed a rapid succession of spells—hundreds, then thousands—each one a lethal cascade of energy.

Until now, the only illumination in this space had been the eerie white light from above.

But now, my barrage filled the sky, turning it into a kaleidoscope of radiant destruction.

『AAAAAAAaaaAAAAAAAaaaAAAAAHH!』

The beast shrieked as its form began to collapse.

Even with its powerful regeneration, the sheer volume of attacks was overwhelming.

『…Aaaah…』

Its massive arm fell.

Then its fangs, its bones—

Chunks of rotting flesh lost their cohesion, crumbling into nothing.

『AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!』

But even as it deteriorated, a final mass of flesh suddenly shot forth—

From its core, a condensed ball of muscle and magic, hurling toward me with terrifying speed.

And in that instant, it unleashed one last breath attack.

“…Hmph.”

The principle was the same.

But the speed—far greater than before.

This time, I didn’t have the luxury of calmly raising my hand.

I tilted my head, just barely avoiding the blast—

But I felt it.

A searing heat grazed my ear.

Bl00d trickled down my neck.

“Heh. Been a while since I bled.”

The writhing mass of flesh continued its charge.

Its core pulsed with an immense, swirling force—its final gamble.

But before it could reach me—

My spell activated first.

A surge of cold erupted across the space.

The mass of flesh froze midair—

And shattered into nothingness.
