When I Reincarnated as the Villain of a Game World, I Created a Harem and Broke the Protagonist's Heart and Efforts! - Chapter 38 : Overwhelming Power [2]

Chapter 38 : Overwhelming Power [2]

The immense magical power that had been manifesting from the front, and the sound of clashing armor coming from behind.

The ones who reached the venue first were the latter.

“Don’t move there!!”

Dozens of knights clad in full plate armor, wielding drawn swords, flowed into the venue with one hand.

I turned around and raised my right hand in that direction.

“Stay right there. [Infernal Flames of Hell]”

From the magic circle that appeared in front of my right hand, crimson flames were unleashed, attacking the knights.

—It’s magic! Everyone, evade!

—Wha-what is this?! These flames are melting through the armor!?

—Damn it! It’s melting through the armor and reaching the inside!

—Aaah! It’s hot, it’s hot! The heat is unbearable!

Truly, they were knights of the Imperial City.

I had intended to deal with most of them with the magic just now, but about half managed to dodge the spell.

However, the other half that couldn’t evade the magic were caught in a storm of infernal screams, and even those near the magic couldn’t move immediately due to its aftermath.

The knights who entered in the same condition as before were about a quarter of their initial numbers.

The remaining knights, witnessing the current magic, seemed paralyzed and unwilling to move from their positions.

“What a buzzkill.”

To finish off the remaining ones, I raised my right hand again to cast another spell, but at the same time, the sound of armor clashing, just like before, echoed again.

This time, the sound was much heavier than before, and a slight vibration reached me.

It seems the knights just now were like vanguards, and the ones approaching now were the main force.

To avoid detection while using magic, I spread magical power throughout the venue, shaped it like a blade, and by slashing through their necks, I swiftly dealt with the remaining knights.

This technique of directly handling magical power is hardly recognized among humans, providing invisible attacks. It’s versatile, allowing the user to freely change the power and size of the attack. It’s very useful in situations like this.

Though largely forgotten among humans, this technique is commonplace among demons who lack a clear concept of lifespan. I learned it from Leviana.

While dealing with this, the main force that had been approaching revealed itself.

At the forefront was a knight clad in full plate armor with the imperial crest engraved on the chest, wearing a bright red cape.

Gerg Landon, the captain of the Imperial Guards, renowned as the strongest in the empire.

[Infernal Flames of Hell]

I released the same magic as before.

However, the magic disappeared in an instant.

In my line of sight was Gerg, who had swung his sword, cutting through the core of the magic I had cast and extinguishing it.

Gerg lowered his raised sword and surveyed the surroundings.

In his eyes were the charred limbs, faces, and bleeding knights who had perished from the melted armor.

Gerg voiced his anger from within the armor.

“What a dreadful act. Regardless of your young age, your deeds are those of a demon. Including the disrespect to His Highness, the Second Prince, at this moment—”

Magic overflowed from Gerg’s body.

Some was absorbed into his body, some moved like a snake around his armor, and some entwined around the sword he held in his hand.

Gerg, covered in magical power that turned his entire body visible white, embodied the unique body-enhancing magic. 

[Guardian of White Assault]

Gerg poised his sword and took a step forward.

“I’ll take that life from you.”

With explosive force, he stomped the ground, approaching at a speed rivaling that of sound, ready to cut my life in an instant.

Having witnessed all his actions, I quietly raised my right hand.

As the sword was about to descend with the force that created a strong wind in the surroundings, the hem of his clothes and Gerg’s cape fluttered, making a rustling sound.

“Ngh…”

As the wind subsided, such a voice reached my ears. Ignoring that, I muttered.

With my gaze fixed on the sword held by the three fingers of my index, middle, and thumb.

“Is this the extent of the Empire’s strongest?”

I had evaluated my own strength as among the top in the Empire.

Even with the combination of Wraith’s talent and guidance from Leviana, I thought that with a 13-year-old body, I wouldn’t match up against the overwhelming strength of adults. That was my evaluation.

But apparently, I was stronger than I thought.

The current situation attested to that.

It felt incredibly good and I achieved one of my goals.

To obtain power to break the fate scenario was closer than I had anticipated.

A natural smile formed on my face. Reminiscing that of a villain.

I shifted my gaze to Gerg in front of me and announced.

“I’m feeling really good right now. So, I’ll kill you with one blow.”

“Haa—”

I infused compressed magical power into Gerg’s mouth and released it.

In an instant, Gerg’s head exploded, scattering eyeballs, teeth, brain matter, and more around.

I let go of the sword, kicked Gerg’s lifeless body aside.

Beyond Gerg, who had fallen backward, the knights were speechless, their faces showing despair.

“Kuhaha.” I laughed maniacally
