When I Reincarnated as the Villain of a Game World, I Created a Harem and Broke the Protagonist's Heart and Efforts! - Chapter 68 : Despair [3]

Chapter 68 : Despair [3]

“What is happening here?!”

The scenes repeatedly flashing in my mind was a nightmare incarnate.

Corpses riddled with holes, sinking into a pool of blood.

Headless bodies piled in front of the girls’ dormitory.

Two crosses in a world covered in ice. 

On one, a battered corpse was crucified on the crosses, and three women stood watching it.

I dashed through the pitch-black halls of the magic academy, not a single light illuminating the way.

The absence of people meant my footsteps echoed loudly, stirring a constant fear within me that they might hear me.

“I need to get out of here quickly… or I’ll be killed too!”

This was completely unexpected.

This mission was supposed to be simple: help the incompetent branch members, rack up some achievements, and nothing more. There was no need for combat, dangerous intelligence gathering, or complicated negotiations. It was supposed to be an easy task of posing as a teacher and casually passing on information about the academy.

But now, both I and the branch members were in this dire situation, all because of him — Wraith Heaville.

I will never forgive him. 

Someday, I will definitely take my revenge.

While these thoughts raced through my mind, I reached my personal room within the academy. I quickly unlocked the door and entered. 

Finally, I felt safe… I needed to pack my belongings and leave this place as fast as I could.

I pulled out a large bag and started stuffing it with whatever I could grab. Since I only kept the bare essentials here, it didn’t take long. 

Then I realized…

“The potions… it’s missing. Why? Where did it go?”

I had distributed some potions to the branch members for tonight’s operation, but there should have been plenty left. I wouldn’t have thrown it away just because they were empty.

Where could it be? No matter where I looked, it was nowhere to be found.

“Is this what you’re looking for, Professor Mikhail?”

“…..!!”

I couldn’t breathe properly as fear paralyzed my body.

How? When did he come here…?

The door was locked from the inside, so how did he get in?

“…What are you doing here, Wraith Heaville?”

“Who knows? Why do you think so?”

His mocking voice echoed in the room.

“Just Dieee!”

I spun around and unleashed a spell with all my might. It was a surprise attack spell that required no incantation. It prioritized speed over power, but it was strong enough to hinder my opponent’s actions. 

If I could land a mid-level spell during his moment of weakness, I could win.

“Then, I will return to you as it is.”

[Steal]

An intense heat flared on my left side.

“Arghhh!!”

It was hot, burning hot, painful. I instinctively clutched my left shoulder with my right hand and collapsed to the ground.

“You’re making such a fuss over this? You lack practical experience, don’t you? Right, Leviana?”

“Yes, indeed.”

At some point, a maid had appeared beside Wraith Heaville. 

I recognized her instantly. She was the maid who was always by his side.

“Now, to the main topic, Mikhail Workin. This potion you were looking for — do you know its ingredients?”

“…..”

“Answer me quickly.”

“Aaaargh!”

I lost feeling in my left hand. Something thick and sticky flowed continuously from my shoulder.

No, I don’t want to die.

“A demon… I-I know it’s made from a demon…”

“So it is. Leviana, confirm it.”

Wraith Heaville handed the maid the vial of the potion.

“There is no mistake. About 20% of the potion’s composition comes from demon flesh. Likely a high-ranking demon.”

“I see.”

Wraith Heaville took the vial back from the maid and started playing with it in his hand.

“I’ve always found it strange. This is undoubtedly the world of ‘Lords of Justice’. Yet demons, who never appeared in the original story, interact with the characters and even possess the power to alter scenarios. Moreover, there are countless inexplicable events in the kingdom’s history books. And the maps show impossibly formed terrains, especially around the borders of the Luvia Empire.”

I had no idea what he was talking about. 

Just what was Wraith Heaville saying? 

My fear kept growing every passing second.

“And now, we find that demons are involved in a potion tied to the main enemy organization’s core. This world is truly a hassle. I’m beginning to think it might be easier to destroy everything.”

No… This isn’t someone I can understand. I realized this instinctively.

I can’t stay here… I have to escape otherwise he will definitely kill me.

“Kugh… Argh—”

Forcing my frozen body to move, I crawled towards the door like a worm.

“Oh, has your mind been broken already? Well, it doesn’t matter anymore. I’ve achieved my goal. I have no more use for you.” 

[Eternal Nightmare]

Those words marked the beginning of my eternal suffering.
