Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy - Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy chapter 277

277 – Extreme Ways (2)

[Ford Company] Has a back door that only officials know about and use.

Theo’s colleagues and some paladins headed toward the back door of [Ford Company]. I knew the location because Theo had drawn it in detail.

When they reached the back door.

Piyuuung──

A ray of intense light shot up into the sky from afar. This was the place where the event was being held.

“······!”

The Paladins, including Guard Captain Kroc, and Alps widened their eyes. As members of the Church of Light, they know very well about the light.

‘The 11th word of Lenimide… Has been cast.’

A sacred spell that is close to a miracle that instantly revives a dying person. It is a two-digit word that can only be used by some high-ranking priests and first saints who have practiced for a long time.

Of course, they realized that the caster was Isabella.

‘······It’s not unusual.’

Croc nodded to Taylor with a stern expression.

Taylor, who is quick-witted, immediately figured out what that meant.

“Let’s all hurry.”

Taylor took the lead and encouraged others.

They accelerated further and headed toward [Ford Company].

Theo quickly ran to Maitri, who was being demonized.

The effect of [Descendants of the Hero] Was amazing. Physical ability has improved almost to the level of using [Overrun].

Moreover, unlike when I used [Overrun], I did not feel the pain as if my heart was about to burst.

In an instant, Theo arrived at a point about 30 steps away from Maitri.

Claire was seen near Maitri. She was sitting down, barely able to raise her upper body.

Theo opened the [Subspace Bag] And took out the Imitation Elixir in a small bottle. She divided what she received from Taylor into 10 bottles each.

Theo threw a bottle at Claire.

“Guardian knight, please take it.”

Claire caught the bottle that Theo threw.

After Claire looked at Theo, who had regained his energy, for a moment with shaking eyes, she drank the imitation elixir.

The injury began to heal rapidly.

‘······Oh, that’s ridiculous. ‘I wonder if what I drank was elixir.’

Except for the major injury to the abdomen, the minor injuries to the limbs had already healed.

Strength welled up again in my exhausted body. Her battle fatigue seems to have recovered, and her spirit becomes clearer.

······But her favorite item [Claymore] Was broken, and her divine power was also exhausted.

‘If you intervene for no reason, you will only be a distraction. First, let’s quickly recover divine power. So that I can at least give you a buff.’

Claire raised her head and looked at the other side of him.

Push shoo shoo shoo ──!

Theo and Maitri were already entangled and fighting. Huge thorns broke through her ground and rose wildly.

“You’ve finally given up on being human, you idiot.”

Theo’s sword was aimed at Maitri’s heart.

“It’s all your fault. I tried to push around a little more and sign a contract with better conditions… In the end, I even sacrificed my soul…!”

As if resonating with Maitri’s anger, thorns rose up at the spot where Theo had been standing just moments ago. Thorn was doing both offense and defense at the same time.

Theo circled around Maitri to find an opening.

‘Now just looking at you gives me thorns. ‘I can hardly see any room to dig in.’

If you make a mistake even once, you will be pierced by thorns.

Theo asked Ney.

─Ni. Please tell me now. Can I try using ‘it’?

‘It’ was a new skill I learned from Ney.

He said, “If you really want to cut, there is nothing in the world you can’t cut.” Something closer to a secret than a skill.

Of course, I have never used it in real life. Ney also said that you must ask for permission before using it.

─······.

There was no answer from Ney. She had been keeping her mouth shut ever since, to be exact, since Mai Tree had made a pact with the devil. It was completely different from his usual talkative self.

‘······Damn. The more time it takes, the worse it gets.’

The demonization of Maitri has not fully progressed. Her horns sticking out from her head and her wings sticking out from her back are still pretty.

As time passes, demonization will continue. If complete demonization proceeds, it will become an extra-standard power that can never be rivaled. Theo intuitively knew that fact.

‘Once again, should I explode my energy at the same time as [Overrun]?’

Having used it a few times, I now have a firm feel for how to use it effectively.

However, it is a last resort.

Everyone was retired except for Claire, who was barely breathing. All that’s left is yourself.

With Maitri unable to approach her, she smiled bitterly as she saw Theo spinning around.

“······Ha, hahahaha. Contrary to your cheerful return, you can’t do anything, Theo Lin Walderk. “No matter how much they are [Descendants of warriors], They are just humans.”

“What kind of guy was human just 10 minutes ago? “If anyone hears it, they’ll think he’s a 10-year devil.”

Theo said that and tumbled backwards. Thorns sprouted from the spot where I had been standing just moments before.

Approximately 5 minutes later.

Most of the ground at the venue, which was large enough to accommodate thousands of believers, was destroyed. Huge boulders and thousands of broken chairs were strewn about.

It was difficult for Theo to move smoothly.

Unlike Theo, Maitri was flying in the sky with her large black wings flapping. Maitri can attack from a distance with her thorns.

Because her horns have not yet fully grown, Mai Tree has not been completely transformed into a demon.

However, the war situation is overwhelmingly unfavorable to Theo.

The reason I was able to survive on my own until now was thanks to the [Hero’s Descendants] Trait.

‘I can’t help it. ‘I have to settle the matter.’

When Theo decided to [Overrun] And explode his spirit.

─······That doesn’t seem like a good move, kid.

Ney finally crawled out and opened his mouth.

Theo spoke to Nei while keeping his gaze fixed on Maitri in the air.

─The situation is very urgent, so I will not ask you what happened now. Then what should I do… Ugh.

Push shoo shoo! Push shoo shoo shoo ──!

Before Theo finished speaking, thorns rose from the ground. Unlike before, the accuracy of the spikes has improved surprisingly. After floating in the air, Maitri’s field of view became much wider.

The thorns rose continuously.

Theo had no time to think about anything else. Just avoiding the thorns was difficult for him.

─This is an urgent situation, so I’ll just get to the point quickly.

─······.

─Child, hand over control of your body to me right now. Since it uses thorns, it must have made a contract with Andros. Andros is a high-level devil. After complete demonization, you cannot guarantee victory with your own body.

It didn’t take long for Theo to make a decision. It wasn’t because the situation was urgent.

‘If it weren’t for you, Oswald would have killed you long ago.’

In addition, because of Ney, we have overcome many dangers.

Ney may change his mind and take his body forever.

But Theo decided to trust Ney.

Although her words tend to be a bit harsh, she felt that the interest and teachings she gave her were sincere.

─I’ll pass it on, Mr. Nei.

─······Yes.

At that moment, Theo’s mind was cut off.

Nei, who had taken over Theo’s body, looked up at Maitri.

Nei chanted through Theo’s mouth.

“······Take a deep sleep. “Master Lee will deal with that guy.”

* * *

Mai Tree was excited and fired her thorns wildly.

“Ha, hahahaha! This is really fun. Why did I live as an inferior human being! No matter how many thorns I use, I never get tired!”

At some point, Theo stopped dodging and stopped tall.

“Khahahahaha! Are you finally accepting death, Theo Lin Walderk? Okay. You fought well! “This body has made a contract with the Great Devil!”

When Maitri tried to summon her thorn to Theo’s presence.

Sgeung.

Theo swung his sword at him.

Maitri snorted.

“What is it, Theo Lin Balderk? Are you finally crazy? If you swing it from there, it will reach me… Kwaaak!”

When the pain felt as if her fire was burning, Maitri had already fallen to the ground. Theo blew his sword energy and severed one of Maitri’s wings.

But Maitri didn’t know what had happened.

“What, what is this! “My wings are impervious to 7th circle magic…!”

Embarrassed, Maitri randomly summoned her thorns to Theo’s side. The thorn only destroyed the surface.

“Uh… Where are you!”

Maitri completely missed Theo’s movements.

‘Sashimi, we need to recover…!’

After demonization, she felt fear for the first time.

Maitri summoned her thorns to block her own body. She then began to regrow her severed wings.

But she didn’t even waste time.

Squeak!

Theo’s sword cut through thorns in one go, which had become more than five times larger and stronger than when he was human.

Theo’s face was visible beyond the forced view. His eyes were light blue, unlike usual. There was a cool glow around his eyes, like moonlight.

‘Hey, something is wrong with this. First, hold on…!’

Maitri raised her heart energy as a last resort.

The heart is the source of the devil’s mighty power.

Using heart energy, she can temporarily generate explosive strength. However, it does not recover naturally like mana, and you die when you use it up.

‘At least intermediate level demon. In the worst case, his strength will drop to the level of a low-level devil… But it can’t be helped. Let’s live for now.’

Thorns of incomparable strength hitherto covered Maitri. It is so hard that even 8-circle magic cannot pierce it.

Theo raised his sword without saying a word. The entire sword body shimmered with blue energy.

“······Phew. I will engrave it on your body, so remember it, child. “If you truly want to cut down, there is nothing in the world that you cannot cut down.”

Theo jumped up, raising his sword high.

“Walsom (月閃).”

Then he lowered Maitri and cut him down.

Crash.

Theo put his sword into its sheath.

Immediately after, Maitri’s body was separated into left and right sides along with thorns.
