Surviving as a Villain at the Academy

54 – Unexpected. (2)

As I looked at the tentacles trying to pierce my entire body, I felt dizzy. I know it’s not just a tentacle.

That’s Behemoth’s fur. The fur is just moving like a tentacle. However, its fur has tremendous magic and divine power resistance, and it also has some resistance to physical attacks.

It’s not that I don’t understand. If you don’t have something like that, you won’t be able to survive in the depths of hell where people like Sloth live.

But there is a certain degree. How can every strand of hair be both armor and a weapon? In order to hit it directly, all of its fur had to be shaved off.

Above all, we must not waste the power of Ruslan, who is now wielding a flashing candlestick before our eyes. This means that the task of turning him into a bald beast is my responsibility and that of the commander of the Imperial Knights.

The knight commander looked at me and said.

“Can you hold on? I think it would be quite difficult. “If you get hurt, I’ll be in trouble too.”

I’m probably saying this because I’m not just a descendant of a great noble, but Lancel’s legitimate successor. The moment I make a mistake, it is as if the biggest pillar supporting the empire is thrown into chaos.

Still, I shook my head.

“It’s okay as long as you don’t die. Above all, my father is not the kind of person who will go crazy if I get hurt. I will do my part perfectly. “Isn’t this a time when each person’s role is important?”

“I understand. Please take care of me. Still, if you think it’s dangerous, get out right away. “You probably have that level of ability, right?”

“hahahaha. Of course. I also know that my life is precious. “I heard that its tentacles are its body hair.”

“Body hair? “Do you mean that’s fur?”

“That’s right. “If all that hair were shaved off, wouldn’t it be a sight to behold?”

It was like a joke in a serious situation, but the knight commander accepted it cheerfully.

“hahahahaha! “You are fearless!”

“If you are afraid of the enemy, you will not be able to do anything. Of course, it’s not easy.”

The knight commander laughed heartily, as if he liked my answer.

“Good. So, I’m thinking of picking up the pace. Do you want to follow along? “It would be a good idea to completely shave off that damned demon beast.”

“I hope so. Of course, if the situation is not favorable, I will jump out.”

“hahahaha. Since you were just my guide, I am grateful that you helped me this much. Anyway, let’s go.”

The body of the knight commander leaped forward at incredible speed. It was a speed that even Behemoth’s tentacles could not reach.

I also kept pace with his movements. I wondered if it was possible, but fortunately I was able to catch up with his speed. Of course, he can only catch up.

Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!

It is impossible to fight through the rain of tentacles coming from all directions like that. He just moves forward, passing through the path he has cleared and cutting off all the tentacles that are piling up behind him.

But wouldn’t it have been enough just to be able to match his feet? Well, the situation can be seen as distorted in many ways. I didn’t know I would be participating in the battle to subdue Behemoth…… I can’t help it. Because the situation has changed because of me.

Who would have thought that the private soldiers would evacuate all the residents to the central square? In a way, it was my fault that the place where Behemoth had to die became crowded with people.

But as a result, the number of unnecessary sacrifices has decreased. Because the private soldiers were deployed early, there was nothing to kill even if the demonic beasts leaked out little by little.

It’s not that there are completely no casualties, but at least they say there are no casualties among the civilians…… The goal has been achieved.

Now, all we have to do is defeat this guy and the remaining demon beasts.

The process may not be easy, but all the manpower needed to defeat Behemoth has been gathered. The subjugation was bound to succeed.

Look. The sight before your eyes.

A skill shown by a knight commander who has trained his entire life with the sword.

A storm of swords was rushing towards Behemoth. Of course, all I could cut off was the tentacles. That alone was enough. Fortunately, its regenerative power only functions when it preys on something.

It can be said that this is the little bit of conscience I have left. If a guy like that had the ability to regenerate instantly, Ruslan, the saint, and the knight commander would have become nothing but prey for him.

Perhaps it was because the knight commander and I bought time, it felt like the saintess was ready.

A strong beam of light swept over Ruslan, who was dodging the rain of tentacles from afar and scattering brilliance, and settled into the head of the Behemoth.

Quaaa-

-Kwaaagh!

Quaaang!

A sound of pain comes out of the Behemoth’s mouth along with the sound of a storm. It was probably his own scream. It was a deafening roar. Just that scream alone caused a shock wave.

He really seems like a crazy demonic beast. What kind of scream can split the earth apart?

Still, as a result of approaching him at high speed, the knight commander and I, who were close to Ruslan, who was right in front of the Behemoth, stopped the rain of tentacles pouring down on him instead.

“…… Prah?”

Then Ruslan looked at me with a rather surprised expression.

“You can put a sword in that guy’s head, right?”

I spoke with confidence. There’s no way I can’t plug it in. Because he can do that. The knight commander also agreed with me.

“The sword you carry. The saint said that your sword is a sacred item from heaven…… What do you think, if we get rid of those damn tentacles, we can stick a sword into his bald head?”

The knight commander created a sword screen and cut down all the tentacles heading towards this place at once and spoke to Ruslan.

“I will try. It might be difficult for me to get through it alone…… “If you open the way, I think it will be possible.”

“I’m not saying it seems possible, it should be possible. “It looks like the saint has run out of strength.”

Ruslan and I looked back at the saint’s group at the same time. Certainly, the corner of her mouth was filled with fresh blood, perhaps in reaction to using the highest level sacred spell called Light of Purification. The internal organs must have been very damaged.

But still, her eyes were alive. I looked into her eyes and thought she could use the Purifying Light one more time.

“…… Probably not. Take a look. The Virgin and her priesthood are once again drawing on divine power. “I think he might want to use the Light of Purification one more time.”

“Then…” … Good. “I guess we can do it this way.”

The knight commander seemed to have changed his mind after hearing my words and looked at Ruslan.

“It’s time for the saint to shine the light of purification again. Do you understand?”

“I understand.”

Ruslan immediately realized what the knight commander’s intentions were.

In order to reach the giant’s head, there was no choice but to climb up its body, but in this situation, climbing up its body was tantamount to suicide. This was because there were limits to human leaping ability.

“Climb up his body. Because we’ll get his attention. Turn off that light for a moment. Perhaps when he casts the Light of Purification, his eyes will turn to the saint and us, so he should approach the guy’s head then. “Can you do it?”

“You can do it.”

“I feel like I want to lead other guys along, but…… It’s my fault. If I had known this would happen, I would have brought a few knights. Anyway, it looks like the saint is about to start shooting the light of purification, so you move forward quickly. “Because we’ll get his attention.”

After hearing those words, Ruslan immediately extinguished the sacred power of the candlestick, and immediately moved quickly towards the front legs of the Behemoth.

“Little Duke of Prah. “Do you know how to use magic?”

“I know how to write.”

“What is the power?”

“It’s not strong, but it’s enough to get attention.”

“That’s enough. “I’ll strike him first, then use flashy magic to keep his attention.”

“I understand.”

In short, they said they would continue to draw his attention to us.

“It’s been a really long time since I wrote this…… “It feels like I’m oiling myself after a long time.”

The knight commander raised his sword and imbued it with magical energy. A huge wave of magical power surges, and a blue thunderbolt fills the sword body.

As if the Behemoth sensed a threat due to the powerful wave of magical power, its attention, which had been sending tentacles towards the saint and Ruslan, was immediately drawn to this direction.

“Ha!”

With a burst of energy, his sword is brought down. Then, a wave of lightning struck the Behemoth’s face, burning all its fluttering tentacles.

-Keeek!

Electric current flows from the scars caused by the sword strike. However, the guy’s eyes were fine, and it seemed like the knight commander didn’t aim for the guy’s eyes on purpose. Because I knew that if I destroyed its eyes, it would go crazy.

In that case, Ruslan could have become more dangerous due to the indiscriminate rampage, so it could be said to be a wise choice.

Quaaang!

The body of the Behemoth, screaming in pain, approaches us at once. The paws of the destructive thing were crushing the earth, causing an earthquake, and then we saw it rushing at full speed to put us under its feet.

If his legs shake like that, what about Ruslan?

I suddenly had that thought, so I looked at its front legs. Fortunately, Ruslan had already grabbed the tentacles on its legs and was hanging on. Even in its large, shaking body, it was steadily moving upward.

Because the light of purification is not yet ready. From now on, it was my role.

I used magical power to ignite the flames. Even if it couldn’t emit holy light, at least a spectacular fireworks display was possible.

Why not become a flashy flare?
