I, who was reincarnated as the villain character in a game, was secretly enjoying my role as the villain while pulling off heroic moves behind the scenes. However, my actions were exposed to my fiancée, who absolutely despises me - Episode 54

Episode 54

As I gripped the short sword I held, an unusually large amount of magical power surged.

Another Meteorzaurus? It seems the magic is ready.

The target isn’t me but the barrier.

Meteor, the signature magic of Meteorzaurus, literally drops meteor-like stones.

If the town’s barrier were to take a hit from that, it might collapse in an instant.

While pondering such things, the magic was released.

“Gaaaah!”

Accompanied by the roar of the Meteorzaurus, several meteors fell from above.

Screams rose from the direction of the town, but… I considered it lucky.

Expanding spatial magic, I collected the meteor magic and released it towards the Bloodzaurus charging towards me.

“Gaaaah!?”

If it’s the Bloodzaurus with the lowest magic resistance here, it’ll take significant damage.

As expected, its barrier was stripped away, so I immediately kicked off the ground, approached the Bloodzaurus, and drew my short sword.

The sharpness of the Dark Fang is still top-notch today. Though I managed to sever the Bloodzaurus’ head, there are still plenty more.

The moment after a battle ends is crucial; there’s no time to waste today. Immediately, a Mithrilzaurus charges in, and I dodge its attacks while wielding my short sword.

It’s as sturdy as an Ultra Golem. Swinging my short sword to chip away at its barrier, I leap away as if escaping from the spot.

At that moment, the axe of the Ultra Minotaur aiming for me hits the head of the Mithrilzaurus.

There’s no damage enough to finish it off. However, the Mithrilzaurus staggers for a moment. I had hoped it would cause a rift between them, but both parties have their eyes on me.

Well, that’s understandable. I tightly grip the short sword and then let gravity take over as I bisect the Ultra Minotaur.

From the side, I see the horns of the Bloodzaurus flying towards me.

Glancing at it, I expand spatial magic to deflect the attack.

I create an exit for spatial magic to hit the Mithrilzaurus.

“Gua!?”

The Mithrilzaurus staggers, and its barrier disappears.

Seizing the opportunity, I swing the Dark Fang towards its vulnerable neck, cutting through effortlessly.

Support keeps increasing. All magic seems to avoid me and hit the monsters.

With each battle, my body feels lighter and lighter.

I bury the monsters at a high pace.

Only one monster remains—

As I adjust my grip on the short sword and observe the one who’s been watching us, I furrow my brows involuntarily.

…I’ve never seen a monster like that in the Forest of Rebellion.

What appeared was a horse-like monster without a head… a Dullahan.

It’s probably a special monster. The Dullahan, which had an aura like a leader commanding the monsters, rides the horse and charges at me, wielding a long sword.

…Fast.

I intercept the approaching Dullahan’s long sword.

“Descend from there…!”

I glare at the horse the Dullahan was riding and expand spatial magic to encompass both the horse and the Dullahan.

However, the Dullahan immediately leaps off the horse and dodges.

As a result, only the horse ridden by the Dullahan was eliminated.

The Dullahan, who stood up straight, readies its long sword.

Kicking off the ground, it swiftly approaches me.

…The horse was unnecessary.

With such speed, the long sword is swung.

With the Dark Fang and the Mithril Knife, I fend off the long sword.

Each blow is heavy and swift.

If I let my guard down for even a moment, I’d likely end up dead.

…It’s different from a game.

There’s no such thing as HP being reduced like in a game. If I receive a fatal blow, I’ll die instantly.

Since being reincarnated into this world, I’ve come to understand many differences from games… This tense battle—it’s not bad.

Attacks graze my body, and I feel like I’m about to be blown away by the impact.
