I Became a Villain who Receives Obsession

81 – Belgrove Night (2)

It was almost at the same time that Reina and I jumped into our seats.

A strange cry, presumed to be a monster, echoed around the village, and at the same time, we met eyes and immediately ran towards the source of the sound.

The sound is coming from the back mountain located near the village.

It was the place where the goblins were defeated during the day.

“Why is the monster over there… .”

“I guess it’s true that it’s a place where something is going on with the goblins during the day.”

A red jewel from a goblin and the mind control magic that dwelled within it.

The person who planted it was different, but he was moving the goblins through magic.

If he is still around, there is a high probability that the monster over there is also under mental magic.

Of course, the only ones who can control monsters and overthrow a village are demons.

‘Another Mine? No, it’s too early for that… .’

As we entered the mountain, the screams of the same monsters as before were heard even louder.

Immediately after unleashing a black sword, he wrapped himself in mana so that he could attack at any time.

He also had thoughts of borrowing Ishtar’s power.

With Raina, I can buy you some time.

“Raina, if it’s dangerous, I’ll back off for a bit.”

“I know even if you don’t say anything. We just have to hold out until others come.”

“yes. It’s enough after that to catch him.”

The more I climbed the mountainside, the more stuffy I felt.

It felt different from the mountains I saw during the day.

Rather than simply being dark, it feels like the energy itself has changed.

Reina seemed to feel the same way, and already had a magic circle on her hand.

thud-

A few minutes to make our way through the mountains, relying on moonlight.

I reached the pond I saw during the day.

“Chwiik… Chwik… .”

And there, I was able to confirm the identity of the scream.

“Oak… .”

The height of four people combined and the size of a body with muscles that are about to explode.

The glowing red eyes and the sticky saliva dripping from the open chin.

It was an orc, one of the regular monsters in the fantasy world.

*

“I’ve never heard of okraine in a place like this.”

“If it were normal, he wouldn’t be the one to appear here.”

“Why are you in a place like this-”

“Did you suddenly appear in a place like this?”

Taking Reina’s gaze, he took out the red jewel he had retrieved earlier and showed it.

Of course, no light came out.

Seeing this, Reina tilted her head and asked.

“Something, is that?”

“It’s a jewel that was on the goblin’s corpse earlier. Maybe it had something to do with this.”

“Is that the jewel?”

“It’s just a hypothesis, but I’ll take care of that orc first and then let you know.”

I met eyes with the guy who was wandering around the pond.

His eyes, which were already red, became even redder and he breathed heavily as if he was going to attack at any moment, just like a bull in a bullfight.

In the game, it is said that you can kill by hitting the skill a few times, but it is different here.

I also wield a sword. Getting close to him directly depends entirely on my skills.

It was easy to defeat goblins because of the height difference, but on the contrary, it was burdensome for the orcs, who had a sharp height difference.

I got used to Altane’s body, so it didn’t matter if I made eye contact with something like that, but if I had met him at the time I came here, I think I would have been tired of peeing.

‘I’m fine, but… .’

No matter how much the ice princess is called, that is a story of the future.

It was natural that an encounter with a monster like that would be difficult for an aristocratic girl who had just become an adult.

I didn’t miss the irregular breathing of Reina next to me.

His hands trembled noticeably as he couldn’t keep his eyes on the orc.

I try hard to hide it, but I can’t hide it.

Faced with a large orc, Reina was clearly trembling.

‘In this state, I can’t even move, let alone use magic.’

“Raina, this way.”

“… Wow!”

First of all, I pulled Reina behind me to erase the orc from her gaze.

“What, what are you doing… .”

“Aim for his feet. Use ice or whatever to impede movement. Can you do that much?”

“… What do you think of me?”

Reina shook off her sleeve and began to create a magic circle.

The trembling was less than before, as if the obstruction of vision had helped.

‘This guy is done, is that guy the only one left?’

Facing the excited orc, I picked up the black sword and immediately covered my body with mana.

Ishtar’s mana and my own mana mixed together and began to turn black.

Relying on this sense that I have become somewhat accustomed to, I poured my mana into the dark sword.

A black aura begins to form on the blade of the sharp, shining black sword.

“Are you going to deal with that?”

“I have to.”

“… All you have to do is tie your legs.”

“It only takes a moment. If you somehow manage to injure it, the Hans guys will arrive too.”

It’s enough to drain the guy’s stamina now and take it down when the rest of the crew arrives.

Orcs aren’t that intelligent monsters, so if you carve them and chase them, you’ll be able to buy enough time.

“I could get hurt.”

“You are not a man if you are afraid of such things.”

Orcs are dull and driven by instinct.

You can avoid it unless you openly greet it.

Even if I get hit, since Elaine is there, I’ll be able to do something.

“… Don’t get hurt.”

“what?”

“If you get hurt, it will affect your future practice, so don’t get hurt.”

“of course.”

“Then go.”

Leaving behind Reina, who kept her head down and focused on forming the magic circle, I slowly approached the orc.

As she said, it’s a loss if you get hurt here, so let’s focus on avoiding first.

It was around the time when he got close to the orc to some extent.

“Chuuuong-!”

The orc, which had been exhaling heat, began to charge towards me while screaming.

The rugged guy’s body swayed from side to side, and the ground rumbled with each step he took.

The red eyes of the orc seemed to be crushed as if they were going to crush it at any moment.

His gaze was still fixed on me.

I had to distance myself from Reina while the aggro was properly drawn.

Before the aggro was released, I glanced at Reina and immediately ran to the other side.

While I drew his attention, Reina tied his legs with magic and I attacked.

There was no better way to deal with such a simple monster.

I take him around the lakeside to buy time until Reina’s magic is ready.

Chwiik! Chwii profit!

As I ran away in front of my eyes, he started following me as expected.

Reina hiding near the tree doesn’t seem to have even been spotted.

‘If I keep going like this, I’ll be able to catch it smoothly.’

I don’t know why the orcs suddenly appeared, but at least it doesn’t seem to have occurred spontaneously.

Like the numerous goblins, there is a high probability that this guy is also related to the red jewel, the blood fossil.

According to Ishtar, the magic engraved on the blood fossil is mind control magic.

The fact that this is stuck in the monsters means that someone is trying to dominate them… .

‘Honestly, there’s no one other than Mine who would do such a thing.’

A person who can plant blood fossils on monsters and make them appear in places where no one is.

It could be a rare force like the black magicians with a low probability, but the black magicians were subjugated by the knights a long time ago and are currently hiding.

There was no mention of it in the original.

If so, the gaze naturally had no choice but to turn to the demons.

Furthermore, Belgrove is an area that is not even reflected in the game.

Due to the nature of walking on the opposite path to the one the main character has passed, the dark actors are always plotting plots outside the main character’s line of sight.

It was only after the first training session that the problems of monsters began to emerge in earnest, so the timing was just right.

‘Ishtar, are there other beings besides orcs nearby?’

-Well.

Again like this again.

I was wondering if I could speak well these days.

-At least I don’t feel alone.

‘Aren’t you alone?’

While running, I turned my head and looked back, but there was only one orc still chasing me.

There’s no way Ishtar would say that for nothing, then the ringleader is still here… .

‘Are you still hiding here and watching the progress? then… .’

Being here means that it was discovered that the group of goblins prepared by him had been subdued.

From the instigator’s point of view, he would have wanted to look at the side of those who interfered with his plan.

That’s why he released the orcs here and lured us back after defeating the goblins… That’s my opinion.

If that’s the case, it’s time to reveal yourself.

Chur uh uh-

There is no way to stop him unless Reina’s magic comes flying, so there is no time to look back leisurely.

The shore of the lake has now turned half way.

The time has come for Reina’s magic to be ready.

‘… wait for a sec.’

It was a sudden thought.

If I were in the position of the demon who freed the monsters, what would I want to do with those who interfered?

Of course I’ll try to get rid of it.

That’s why I threw okra bait here.

And we bit the bait.

If you asked for the bait, where should you appear?

In front of the person being chased and being chased?

Or catching the vibe in the middle of the lake?

I took a deep breath and looked around the lake.

still no one

Then one place caught my eye.

‘… Raina!’

Reina, who should have been immersed in magic near the tree, is sitting on the floor.

As soon as I saw an ominous cloud of fog rising around her, I jumped right into the lake.
