When I Reincarnated as the Villain of a Game World, I Created a Harem and Broke the Protagonist's Heart and Efforts! - Chapter 66 : Despair [1]
Chapter 66 : Despair [1]
I gathered my magic power and released it.
But… It disappeared.
I gathered more magic power once again.
This time, more firmly, sturdily, meticulously and then released it.
But… It was nullified.
I don’t understand what this means.
I couldn’t comprehend it at all.
Why, why, why… just why?
“…Who are you? Just what are you!?”
“Since you’re about to die, what is the point in knowing it?”
“Grr…! Aaaaaah!”
I casted the highest-level magic I could wield.
[Wind Tornado]
In an instant, a whirlwind was created, shaking the atmosphere and moving forward with clear intent to kill.
Ahead of me stood a woman with long silver hair flowing rhythmically in the wind.
She will not be able to block this.
This is different from the intermediate or lower-level spells I’ve used so far.
The necessary magical power, the force, and the attack range are incomparable to lower-level spells.
“…Hahaha. With this, even you won’t be able to defend against it. Just die already.”
The moment I activated this spell, she had no way to escape.
Though it was moving slowly now, I could control its speed at will.
If she tries to escape, she’ll eventually be enveloped by the raging storm.
The whirlwind slowly approached the woman.
Normally, by now, with a tornado this close in her vicinity, she should have been terrified.
But she wasn’t… in fact her face had no emotions on it.
It was strange.
Why are her expressions not changing?
The woman exhaled deeply, as if in exasperation.
“…As I thought, it’s not much.”
As she murmured, the tornado vanished.
Then she took out a knife from somewhere and slashed her own arm.
The cut was deep, and a large amount of blood flowed from the wound.
I had no idea what she was trying to do.
Has she gone mad?
Her sudden actions left me bewildered.
But at this moment, I had no time to be left confused.
[Blood Bullet]
As she uttered those words, the blood dripping onto the ground was imbued with magic, transforming into small projectiles aimed at me.
While each one wasn’t large, their sheer number was overwhelming.
My vision was suddenly stained in a red shade.
[Wind Shield]
I managed to cast a spell before the attack could reach me.
The wall of wind I created deflected the blood projectiles, turning them back into liquid that fell down to the ground.
I somehow managed to survive.
However… My comrades weren’t so lucky.
—Aaaah!
—Gah!?
One by one, my comrades were pierced by the blood bullets.
Even if the wounds were small, it could prove to be deadly if there are multiple of them.
One by one, my comrades fell down
The few who stood directly behind me survived but they were now paralyzed with fear.
They could barely fight as their movements were hesitant and erratic.
“Damn it!”
There was nothing I could do.
My magic was rendered useless as she easily countered them, and I couldn’t even get close to her because of her barrage of attacks.
Even if we tried a coordinated attack with my comrades, in their current state, they’d make mistakes and we’d all end up dead.
What should I do?
“If all you do is defend, nothing will change.”
“Y-You…!”
She mocked me, knowing I was barely managing to defend myself.
Her smirk irritated me to no end.
As I struggled to suppress my rage and continued defending against her attacks, I noticed something strange.
The attacks she was using were all related to blood.
Naturally, this means her blood supply should be decreasing, and if she keeps it up, she’ll die from blood loss.
So why hasn’t the attacks stopped?
She has already used up enough blood for a single person.
Yet she stood there with her usual emotionless expression.
“What is happening…?”
“Oh, you finally noticed? You’re wondering why the blood attacks haven’t stopped.”
“Yes. Where do you store such a vast amount of blood?”
“Heh. You’re amusing. Even I can’t keep this much blood in my body.”
“Then where is it?”
“Look behind you.”
She stopped her attacks to explain it.
She wanted me to look behind.
I maintained my magic and turned around while still being cautious of her actions.
My comrades followed my lead, turning their gazes behind them.
“—What!?”
What I saw was the bodies of my comrades, drained of blood and unnaturally pale.
She has been using their blood to fuel her attacks.
“How cruel. To desecrate the dead.”
“I was just making efficient use of resources.”
“That’s what makes it cruel.”
“I see… Well, your thoughts don’t matter to me. My priority is fulfilling my master’s request. So, it’s time for you to die.”
At her words, an overwhelming pressure beared down on me, making it hard to even stand.
And I soon collapsed to the ground.
“Haah… haah… haah…!”
My breathing was erratic and it felt suffocating.
Cold sweat ran down my face.
Is this fear? I’ve never felt anything like this in my life.
The oppressive pressure made it difficult to move.
Despite this, I tried to raise my head to assess the situation.
In my vision, I saw a blue light.
From my knowledge, a single word naturally escapes my lips.
“…The Blue Emperor of Vampires.”
“You’re well-informed. But this should help you accept your fate.”
The moment the Vampire Queen said those words with a smile, my life came to an end.
