When I Reincarnated as the Villain of a Game World, I Created a Harem and Broke the Protagonist's Heart and Efforts! - Chapter 39 : The Final Act!

Chapter 39 : The Final Act!

The knights, wearing expressions of despair, looked upon the death of the Knight Commander who was once considered the strongest in the empire.

Simultaneously releasing magical power to sweep away the knights in my line of sight, the entire venue suddenly brightened, and an intense heat, burning like fire, filled the air.

“I shall incinerate my enemies with the flame of destruction!”

[Flame of End]

Looking up, a vivid red flame spread across the field towards me.

I molded the released magical power into the shape of a spear above my head and aimed it towards the center of the magic.

In the next moment, the magic that had filled the field burst and scattered.

I slowly took in that sight, then turned my gaze back towards the entrance where the knights were.

In addition to the knights, two figures, not present earlier, were now standing there, glaring at me.

“So, you set me up in a state where I was about to cast a time-consuming large-scale magic, and using the teleportation ability she possesses, she teleported both herself and the magic into the arena. Then, with an unexpected high-powered, large-scale magic, she tried to kill me. Quite a sneaky move, Second Prince.”

The two figures standing in front of the knights were the Second Prince I had kicked out of the venue earlier and the pink-haired woman.

They seemed largely uninjured, almost as if they were untouched.

The Second Prince was said to possess various talents, and it seemed that included combat skills.

Blocked, huh? Perhaps I underestimated them a bit.

While receiving a sword from a knight standing behind him, the Second Prince kept his eyes on me and spoke.

“You’ve really done it. Ruining the party held for me? This is already—”

He was blown away, involving about a dozen knights standing behind him.

And in the place where the Second Prince had been, I now stood.

“To have the leisure to talk to me in the middle of a battle. You’ve really underestimated me.”

“…..Wraith-sama.”

In an instant, the pink-haired woman appeared behind me, thrusting a knife towards my back.

However, the knife didn’t pierce my back and just passed through the air.

“What!? Where—”

“Behind you.”

Reacting to my voice, the woman tried to turn around, but I grabbed her head with my right hand, slammed it into the ground, and cracks spread out in concentric circles centered on her head.

Taking advantage of the moment when her strength weakened from the impact, I snatched the knife from her hand and thrust it into the area around her back and heart.

“Grrr!?”

[Earth Manipulation]

Continuing, I used earth magic to create stakes that pierced through the woman’s abdomen, both hands, and both legs from below, securing her in place.

As it interfered with the ground under the thick floor of the imperial castle, it was impossible to destroy this by force.

I released her head and stood up.

“Leviana. You can take these two. Come here.”

“Yes.”

I called Leviana, who had been guarding Lilia and Lulua near the wall.

Returning my gaze to the front, I noticed the knights who, due to doing nothing so far, I had momentarily forgotten.

“Oh, right. I should deal with you lot as well.”

Using the same magic that slaughtered the strongest in the empire, I burned all of them without leaving a single one.

Confirming that Leviana had approached, I asked her.

“Leviana, I suspect this one is a demon. What do you think?”

“Yes, that is correct. She is a demon who governs one of the Seven Deadly Sins, ‘Lust’.”

“…Is that true?”

“Yes. We have spoken before.”

I couldn’t believe it. This woman was a demon from the Seven Deadly Sins…

While there were glimpses of her ability as the ‘Lust’ demon, she was too weak.

Certainly, ‘Lust,’ which she governed, was the second from the bottom among the Seven Deadly Sins, but considering that she was a demon standing at a higher rank, this was unacceptable.

Sighing, I raised my eyes, which had been lowered in disappointment.

“I’ll deal with her later. Leviana, keep an eye on her.”

“Understood.”

I turned my body towards the direction of the dead bodies of the knights covered in melted armor and spoke.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, Second Prince.”

As I said that, the bodies of the knights were blown away, and the Second Prince, raising his sword, leaped towards me.

“Aaargh!”

The second prince raised his voice, swinging his sword down on me with the intention to kill. 

In response to his barbaric act, I cut off his arm. Following suit, I severed both legs with magic, grabbed the decapitated head of the second prince, and left him hanging in mid-air.

To prevent death from blood loss, I used magic to cauterize the wounds and stop the bleeding.

“Ah… it hurts… It hurts… my arm… my legs…”

The once pristine appearance of the second prince, just moments ago, was now brutally marred. With both hands and legs gone, torn parts of his clothing revealed extensive bleeding, and blood and dust adhered to various areas. His once well-maintained hair, likely cared for by servants, now appeared dull and disheveled due to blood and dust, and his unseen face, gripped by me, likely contorted in agony.

Even with this severe treatment, it was not enough. Not nearly enough.

“You thought you could lay a hand on my woman, and this is all you get?”

I gathered magical energy within my left hand, creating a magic circle. Pouring magic into the circle, I chanted.

[Eternal Nightmare]

The moment the spell was cast, the second prince screamed as if his throat were tearing apart.

This ‘Eternal Nightmare’ was an original spell I created. It continuously presented nightmarish visions to the target without breaking their mind, ensuring that their psyche remained intact despite the horrors they witnessed until their death. The nightmares weren’t restricted to when the target was sleeping; they persisted day and night, regardless of the circumstances. This spell, however, reached its true potential when combined with another.

I released the grip on my left hand, letting the second prince fall to the ground. As he writhed on the ground, I looked down at him and chanted again.

[Soul Stealing]

The second prince, who had been screaming in agony, suddenly fell silent, and a luminous sphere appeared above his body.

“Why… why can a human like you interfere with a soul?” the soul asked, directed towards the female voice behind him.

Turning, I saw a woman’s face embedded in the ground, displaying a mixture of confusion and fear.

The interference with a soul, typically a task only demons involved in contracts could perform, had been executed by a human like myself. It was only natural for her to be bewildered and terrified.

Wearing a villainous grin, I spoke, “Take your time to contemplate in the afterlife.”

With a signal to Leviana, I displayed a smile overflowing with fear one last time, and ‘Lust’ was eradicated by the hand of ‘Pride.’

Ensuring its elimination, I began to move.

“Now, let’s start the finale.”

[TL/N : Damn, he sure is merciless…]
