When I Reincarnated as the Villain of a Game World, I Created a Harem and Broke the Protagonist's Heart and Efforts! - Chapter 37 : Overwhelming Power [1]

Chapter 37 : Overwhelming Power [1]

I had reasons to overlook the second prince, who had approached Lilia and Lulua and went to abandon mercy on his own for a brief moment.

One reason was to clarify his relationship with the pink-haired woman.

The participants in this party were limited to the second prince, sons and daughters of up to two years apart, and the heads of each household acting as their guardians. It was strange for a woman who didn’t fit these criteria to be present at the venue, and the second prince immediately appeared after I made contact with that woman during the greetings.

His behavior, which seemed to have lost the fear he had shown me during the previous greeting, in addition to the timing of his appearance, and considering Miliana’s behavior and words during the previous dance, it was natural to assume a connection.

The other reason was that I knew the second prince could use the demonic power he used in the capital recently on Lilia and Lulua without affecting them.

When Lilia encountered the second prince in the capital the other day, there was no noticeable change in her. In other words, she was not affected by the demonic power of the second prince.

This became clear with a little thought. Probably, Lilia’s saintly power of “healing” prevented the second prince’s demonic power from affecting her. Originally, saintly power and demonic power were opposing forces, and the saintly power, symbolized by the saint, clashed with the demonic power, so it was a natural result.

Unlike Lilia, Lulua, being different, had been somewhat affected by the second prince’s demonic power. Therefore, to ensure that Lulua would not be affected by the demonic power of my “arrogance” again, I inserted a fragment of my demonic power into Lulua’s body.

Even though it was just a fragment of power, it possessed formidable strength and protected the host from all kinds of mental attacks, making it not easily breakable even by the demonic power of the same deadly sin.

Lilia and Lulua, each with their differences, were no longer affected by the influence of the demonic power, so for a brief moment, I let the second prince’s actions go unnoticed.

Sure enough, it was confirmed that the second prince had a connection with the pink-haired woman when he made eye contact with Lilia and Lulua.

The moment the two of them and the situation were considered from the previous encounter, it could be natural to think that the pink-haired woman was a demon who gave power to the second prince. She probably intended to take Lilia and Lulua away while I was captivated by the pink-haired woman using my power.

Truly unpleasant.

Suddenly, a roaring sound echoed in the venue, and the hall fell silent.

Several pairs of eyes focused in this direction.

The next moment, a sound resonated in the venue.

—Kyaaaaaa!?

—What happened!?

—Was the person who got blown away, the Prince Second!?

—What’s going on with that guy!?

In the venue filled with incomprehensible events, the daughters of nobles were the first to flee outside, and other nobles were swept away by the wave they created, rushing out of the venue.

—Call the Knights!!

—Evacuate His Majesty!!

—A rebel has appeared!!

Voices declaring the calling of the knights could be heard in the venue filled with the echoing roar.

They even called the knights huh. Truly troublesome. This time, it seemed inevitable for me to summon ‘her’.

[Summon]

Using summoning magic, I called upon Leviana, who was in the duke’s mansion. Leviana, who appeared from the magic circle drawn on the ground, bowed respectfully.

“You called me, Master?”

“Do not let anyone out from within the imperial city grounds.”

“Understood.”

Saying that, Leviana disappeared in an instant.

“Now—”

While sensing the presence, I turned my body towards the pink-haired woman, whom I had not looked at until now.

The woman erased the bewildered expression from before and showed a smile as if scheming something.

“Master Wraith, those two are quite precious to you, huh?”

“Don’t bother selling your charm.”

“Oh no~ I won’t sell my charm. But, you know, if those two become hostages, there’s nothing you can do, right?”

The moment she said that, the woman’s figure disappeared in an instant.

“Don’t you move from there or els—huh?”

The next moment, the woman who had tried to bring a short sword close to Lilia’s neck appeared behind her, raising a voice filled with confusion.

Where the woman’s hand should have been… There was nothing, only a cutted wrist spurting blood.

“Your filthy blood will stain Lilia.”

Noticing that she was using the same demonic power as the second prince, I kicked her with reinforced legs.

Adjusting the direction, I kicked her towards a part of the wall next to the hole opened by the second prince.

The hole in the venue grew larger.

Looking at the direction where the woman had flown with a sidelong glance, I confirmed that she had not returned and turned towards Lilia.

“Although I had covered it with some magic power earlier, is your dress not soiled?”

“Y-yes. It’s okay.”

Before blowing the second prince out of the venue, I had released the magic power that I had set up with debris and such to ensure that the two of them were not affected. I asked Lilia while canceling that.

I also confirmed with Lulua that there was no problem.

“Wraith-sama. What just happened?”

“Oh. That was—”

At that time, the pink-haired woman used the power of teleportation behind Lilia and Lulua, trying to take them hostage while I was captivated by the pink-haired woman. Predicting this from the woman’s expression and words, I instantly spread the concealed magic power around her and used that magic power to cut off her hand just before she teleported.

As evidence of that, the woman’s hand was rolling where she had been just before.

It might be thought that if I could cut off her hand, I could cut off her head, but the neck is thicker than the wrist.

No matter how much I tried, it was difficult to cut off the head in less than a second.

In addition, there was a possibility that she was a demon, so even if I cut off her head, she would not die, and there was a possibility that she could move her hand, so I cut off her hand.

Explaining this, Lulua slightly distorted her expression, looking a bit regretful.

“…I didn’t see anything.”

“For now, it’s okay. If you keep growing, you’ll eventually see it and be able to handle it.”

“…Yeah.”

Confirming Lulua, who had lost strength from her face, I turned my body towards the direction where the second prince and the woman were blown away.

“I have returned, Master.”

At the same time, Leviana also returned.

“I have set up a special barrier within the imperial castle’s grounds, making it impossible for anyone to enter or leave. No one has left the imperial castle until the barrier is removed by me.”

“Thank you.”

After Leviana finished reporting, explosive magical power erupted from the direction where the second prince and the woman had flown, and from behind, the sound of armor rubbing against each other, like knights’ armor, could be heard clashing.

“Now, shall we start the rampage?”
