I Became a Villain who Receives Obsession

51 – Mine, Mephisto (2)

“Count!”

Elaine came down from the stands and ran to my side.

Sweat is beading on my forehead, probably because I ran so quickly.

“Lina-san, are you okay?”

“Miss Elaine?”

“Elaine slowed down the falling debris. Thanks to you, ‘I’ was able to save you.”

“I know that even if you don’t say anything. More than that, Miss Elaine took out the wreckage… ?”

“Heh, thanks to the Count.”

“What. It’s all thanks to your talent.”

As I rubbed Elaine’s silky white hair wildly and disturbed it, Elaine closed her eyes tightly and accepted my hand.

He acted like a puppy.

“… .”

“Why is that, Reina?”

“… It’s nothing. What else could there be?”

Reina, who was looking at Elaine and me with delicate eyes, pointed to the black figure in the center and asked.

“It is a demon.”

I heard Bella’s determined words.

“… Asmodians?”

“I talked about it briefly in class last time. There is a non-human race that was kicked out of the Central Continent long ago.”

Humans and demons, who lived on one continent in the past, could not overcome repeated conflicts and began to covet each other’s blood.

In the process, a human king appeared and drove the demons from the central continent with the spirit of Mercia on his back.

The worldview of Hero Saga is the story of the expelled demons reappearing in the Central Continent.

In other words, the appearance of that Mephisto is the signal of all events that will happen in the future.

At the word demon, everyone in the seat made faces of disbelief.

“But Instructor! If it’s a demon… .”

“Not all demons have disappeared. Because the monsters that belonged to the demons still existed. It might be a demon that was hiding somewhere.”

Bella’s surroundings began to be filled with magic circles.

A colorful magic circle lit up the surroundings and began to drive dust and smoke into the sky.

“… clown?”

All the smoke in the gymnasium disappeared with Bella’s magic, and only one person remained in the center.

To be precise, a demon in human form.

Mine, Mephisto.

“ah… .”

I pulled Elaine next to me and hid it behind me, then spoke to Bella.

“Instructor. You should know that they are not ordinary demons.”

“The form of a person, it must be a demon.”

Bella takes off her horn-rimmed glasses and puts them in her shirt pocket.

“Everyone back off. It is not an opponent that students can compete with.”

Blue mana overflowed and began to cover Bella’s body.

A huge amount of mana gathers around her, dyeing the surroundings blue.

As if responding to her mana, Mephisto’s body trembled as he sat down.

“Count… .”

“Elaine, take Reina and leave the gymnasium.”

“Bae, what about the Count?”

“Let’s help the instructor here. It will take a long time for the other instructors to return to the academy.”

Unfortunately, Adelie, Aaron, and the other instructors are all vacant.

If things go according to the way things are going, Bella gets injured while blocking Mephisto, and after that, Siegfried and the party have to deal with it… .

‘That must have been the case when Altein didn’t exist.’

I didn’t want to be here and watch Bella get hurt.

By no means did he feel any different feelings toward Bella taking off her glasses.

Dduk-

pop-

A grotesque sound was heard, as if bones were being cut.

Mephisto was getting up.

“Ugh… .”

“It is bizarre.”

A height that exceeds 2 meters, and a bizarre appearance with makeup that looks like shedding tears over a white powdered face.

A hero with an appearance reminiscent of a clown, the first boss to appear in Saga, and a demon belonging to the highest level of demons.

Knock-beep-beep Mephisto, who raised his whole body up, began to slowly look around.

I grabbed the handle of my attitude and prepared to run out at any moment.

It was to feed the counter to Mephisto, who used magic at the same time as he appeared.

sssss-

Gray eyes that have lost their light, like dynamic eyes, stare at the cluttered spectators.

Soon, red aura began to swirl around Mephisto.

It was a move to use magic.

“Instructor, that guy is looking in the direction of the crowd.”

When I told Bella, she also quickly started preparing the magic.

You can leave the grandstand side to Bella.

I slowly started walking towards Mephisto.

“What are you trying to do?”

“Stay next to Reina. Elaine.”

“Ha, but-”

“Eisteen-san and Elaine-san go this way.”

After seeing Siegfried slowly step back while blocking the two of them, I started walking again.

As if he had managed to get a sword, Siegfried had a sword he hadn’t seen before hanging from his waist.

I forgot about it because of church work, but I got a good sword for being the main character.

As we approached a certain distance, a hum, a hum, a distant sound was heard repeatedly in our ears.

I slowly closed my eyes and focused my consciousness on the hand holding the attitude.

Since Mephisto was also a demon, his attitude was easily opened.

‘Is this the first time since Ent?’

It’s been a long time since I picked an attitude.

There was also a characteristic of an attitude that only targeted demons, and there was nothing to use it for.

It will be different in the future.

‘Ishtar.’

I held onto the attitude that revealed the chilly days and called Ishtar in my heart.

Then I felt a slight tremor in my attitude.

Was this the sound that everyone was watching?

Well, since Ishtar was the attitude itself, there was no way she didn’t know what was happening outside.

After a while, as Bella’s magic was activated, a transparent wall formed between Mephisto and the audience.

Mephisto, who was still staring at the audience, tilted his head.

Then he turns his head in my direction.

It was bizarre that the body turned forward and the head turned 90 degrees like a clown.

I said quietly to Mephisto, who was looking at me, not elsewhere.

“It’s pretty good to see you flustered.”

“―, ―, ―.”

“Didn’t your parents teach you human language?”

“—.”

Since I’m a demon, can I swear at this level?

At the same time, a humming sound was heard.

I only saw the text in the game, but when I listened to it myself, it was quite a strain on my ears.

Like the way he looks, and the way he wears tights that make him feel bad, he’s someone I don’t like every time I see him.

In fact, he is also the one who kills students without question even in the game. It is an existence that cannot be felt unless you want to feel good feelings.

Mephisto, who stopped resonance for a moment, turned around and faced me head-on.

I wonder if swearing at my parents was a serious insult even for the demons, they just stand still and stare at me.

“-ah. Ahh. Indeed, are these human words?”

Then, all of a sudden, people speak.

I was quite taken aback by the voice of the same voice actor as in the game.

Mephisto stroked his smooth chin once, then continued talking while staring at me and Bella.

“I was surprised that the response was faster than expected. I was going to say hello to the crowd of humans over there.”

“You speak easily.”

“Because it is really easy for me.”

It seems that he has not completely mastered human speech, and he tends to be a bit awkward.

Mephisto pointed at Bella with a long finger.

“You have a very good skill. The speed at which magic unfolds and its strength. You are a really good person.”

“I don’t feel good when I hear that from demons.”

“Oh, is that so? But I mean it.”

“Did you break the gymnasium to flirt with someone else’s instructor?”

“Others? Then that woman must be yours. Excuse me for this.”

Mephisto bowed his head and expressed his apology.

I stared straight ahead, ignoring the uncomfortable gazes from behind.

“Count… .”

“Are you saying that to the instructor now?”

Because it’s not.

“Anyway, nice to meet you. My name is… .”

‘My name is Mephisto.’

“My name is Mephisto.”

Mephisto pretending to take off his hat and giving a noble greeting.

It was ridiculous to see a 2-meter-tall guy do that.

But no one laughed at that look.

Because the red aura that had been surging from earlier was rising even stronger.

Then Bella came over to my side.

“Student Lian.”

“?”

“I’ll listen to what I said a while ago separately later.”

“Are you talking about this situation?”

“For now, focus on that side.”

“I do it even if I don’t say anything.”

It’s an existence that you can’t do if you don’t want to concentrate.

It was Mephisto who was imbued with huge energy, as if he would shoot out magic at any moment.

You have to dig through the cracks.

I didn’t know what he was going to do again when I moved rashly.

First and foremost, you should set the goal of kicking out Mephisto.

It’s because it’s an atrocious probability to annihilate that guy at this stage.

At least if Adelie, the principal of the school, returns.

“You seem to be thinking a lot. What is your name by any chance?”

“Lian Altane.”

“Altein… It’s Altair… It’s a very familiar sound.”

“Don’t demons live long? Then my ancestors would know.”

“ah… It is, but I am not good at remembering it.”

“Altaic, don’t you know?”

Mephisto’s expression, which had been laughing unpleasantly, suddenly changed.

A light lingered for a moment in the dead eyes of Dongtae.

The voice that came out after that was different from before.

“Altaic.”

A reaction as if he recalled something he had forgotten.

Although only the expression disappeared from the sad face, the overall atmosphere changed.

Didn’t you step on a landmine?

“I guess you know.”

“… I know that.”

The red aura surrounding Mephisto began to vibrate violently.

It was a signal signifying the manifestation of magic.

“Elaine! Raina! Get out of the way!”

Looking at the red orb that began to form in front of my eyes, I immediately ran towards Mephisto.
