Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy - Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy chapter 296

296 – Self Control (4)

I looked down at the Fiat in horror. Her eyes were burning brightly.

‘Hey, why are you so excited?’

In this work, I always saw the cynical side, so I couldn’t get used to it.

‘What…’

From Noble mtl dot com

Good things are good things.

One of the best ways to break down a group is to remove key personnel. Fiat is one of the key combatants of [Leaning Mind]. It is even better that she has now been selected by the new item [Eater].

I reached out to Fiat.

“Then please take care of me from now on.”

Fiat grabbed my hand. I can feel the strong grip in her joined hands.

“······I am.”

She took my hand and stood up, balancing on one foot.

Then she walked a few steps using [Eater] As a cane.

Although it had only been a few minutes since she lost her leg, she quickly adapted to being on one foot.

Fiat asked me.

“What is the future schedule?”

“First, we will complete the investigation of the Great Demon Shrine. “Then I have to fix your leg.”

“Hmm, I have already almost finished investigating the Great Demon Shrine. “Would you like to listen?”

It’s a nice sound to hear.

Currently, I find it difficult to overexert myself. Although it was only for a short time, I used [Overrun] And used sword energy bombardment, so my body was exhausted and my prayers were exhausted.

When I nodded, Fiat began to tell me the results of the investigation.

When she spoke, she had the style of only talking about the main points. I summarized her findings, asking questions that needed further explanation.

“······To summarize, there are three sealed Great Devils inside the Great Devil Shrine, and your subordinates complained of extreme mental fatigue shortly after entering the shrine.”

“That’s right. “I think I probably kept my sanity because of ‘this.’”

As Fiat said this, she looked at [Eater], Who was using a cane.

I looked at Fiat. Her status window appeared in front of her.

‘You have acquired mental protection-related characteristics. I guess I got it from killing the paladins.’

Most of the church’s paladins and priests have traits related to mental protection. Thanks to its characteristics, since ancient times, the church’s fighters have been able to become experts in subjugating demons.

People without the mental protection trait find it difficult to maintain their sanity when facing the Great Evil. Of course, it is difficult to demonstrate your original skills.

“I see. “Still, we have to look around, so let’s head to the shrine.”

I took out a bottle of Imitation Elixir from my [Subspace bag].

This is to prepare for a battle that may occur.

Since the use time of [Overrun] Was short, my physical condition was not very bad.

‘It would be a waste to drink the whole bottle.’

I only drank half of the imitation elixir. The remaining half was handed over to Fiat.

“Drink it. “The leg won’t regenerate, but all other wounds will heal.”

“Thank you.”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Fiat poured all the bottles I gave him into his mouth.

Soon after, all of her injuries, except for her evaporated leg, healed.

She said as she looked at her right shoulder, where new skin had filled up.

“······Great effect. “It’s at the level of a healing spell from a high-ranking priest of the church.”

“That’s amazing. “The higher up the religious order, the more they ostracize members of other races. Have you ever had the opportunity to receive treatment from a high-ranking priest?”

‘Human supremacy’ lies at the foundation of members of the Church of Light. Of course, all high-ranking officials in the church are also human.

No matter how outstanding the divine power was, it was nearly impossible for a person of a different race to become a high-ranking official.

Fiat responded as if it understood what I meant.

“It must be because it was more than 200 years ago. “At that time, the exclusion of different races was not as severe as it is now.”

“I see.”

The time Fiat is talking about is probably before the religious war. At that time, the church would have borrowed the power of various races other than humans to win the religious war.

Before I left, I checked my armament.

The [Demon Sword] Was worn on the left waist, and the [Elemental Sword] Was worn on the right waist.

The couple’s daggers [Romeo and Juliet] Were stored in a designated location in the chest.

Meanwhile,

‘Huh?’

I discovered something strange.

A white bead that I received from Sarah and kept in my arms. The beads were stained black.

What Sarah said comes to mind.

─If it turns black, it means that it is a dangerous situation.

It seems like something happened to the kids I sent first.

“Don’t hurry, Fiat. “The group is in danger.”

“I understand.”

I immediately started running towards the Great Demon Shrine.

Fiat also followed behind me. But it was slow. Although he had superior physical ability, his single foot seemed to have limitations.

‘It won’t work.’

However, we cannot leave Fiat alone.

I pushed my back against the Fiat and bent his knees.

“Pick me up.”

Her Fiat was uncharacteristically hesitant.

“Uh… Um…”

I urged her.

“Get on my back quickly. In a hurry.”

“······I understand.”

Fiat obeyed me.

She was on the thin side, but because she was tall and her whole body was muscular, she was quite heavy.

However, it did not feel that heavy to me as I continued to develop.

“Hold on tight.”

“Um… Ah… I understand.”

“We are leaving.”

I started running at full speed carrying the trembling Fiat.

* * *

Theo, carrying the Fiat, soon arrived in front of the Great Devil Shrine.

Four strange creatures were seen fighting with the group.

The strange creature had small horns sprouting from its head and small black wings sprouting from its back. Its teeth were jagged like saw blades, and its entire body was radiating black magical energy.

‘······Corrupted.’

Corrupted.

A creature from the Middle Earth that has been continuously and strongly exposed to demonic energy has transformed into a creature from the Demon World.

It is a monster that loses its reason, moves only on instinct, and is unaffected by most magic and physical attacks.

‘Judging by the fact that there are four of them, they are the ones brought by Fiat.’

It appears to have been pickled in the magic energy of the Great Demon Shrine and turned into a corrupted form.

Thinking like that, Theo put his hand into her arms and held [Romeo and Juliet].

He is in a state of recovery, albeit with a little energy. Theo injected her energy into [Romeo].

Shuuk─!

Then he immediately threw it at Corrupted.

Wow!

A fist-sized hole was made in the abdomen of one of the Corrupted creatures.

─······Huh?

Corrupted, hit by a dagger, let out a grim scream and looked at Theo.

─Well, that’s it!

Then he stomped towards Theo.

‘It is difficult to fight head-on with the amount of energy we currently have.’

Theo pulled out the [Elemental Sword] From his waist.

The magic used is [Stone Rise].

Kugugugugu─

A stone wall rose in front of Corrupted.

Theo summoned stone walls one after another to trap Corrupted.

Boom, Kwakwang──!

Corrupted, trapped inside the stone wall, also pounded on the stone wall.

The stone wall shook as if it would break.

The Corrupted’s strength was extraordinary because it had been exposed to the mecha kucha of the Great Devil, that is, three demonic energies.

Kugugugu─ Kugugugu─

Theo additionally summoned a stone wall to reinforce its thickness.

The sound of Corrupted tapping on the wall gradually became quieter.

Theo began to support the group.

‘Take care of the guy in front first.’

Stone walls rose on the left and right of the largest Corrupted that was in front.

─Huh?

He casually swung his thick arm and broke the stone wall. The thick stone wall shattered as soon as it was hit by his fist.

But that alone was enough for the group.

A hammer-shaped light came down from the air and struck the guy’s head.

Theo then began attacking the two Corrupted individuals in the back row.

The strategy was simple.

‘They have great physical power, but they have no reason.’

First, surround them with stone walls on three sides.

Then, out of ignorance, they try to escape through the remaining front pages.

In the meantime, I inject energy into [Romeo], Who is back in my arms, and then throw it at the guy.

It’s just a matter of putting it into a groggy state for a while, but that’s enough.

The Ki used by Theo is a special case, and it uses divine power directly to hunt beings from the demon world. And practitioners of light possess a large amount of divine power.

The two Corrupted entities that were in a groggy state for a moment mumbled.

─That, that…

The practitioners of light, whose entire eyes except the pupils had turned red, did not miss the opportunity.

“Now is the time! Let’s run, Britney!”

“Screw you! “It’s a collaboration, Mike!”

Plop, plop!

The weapon of the Light Acolytes repeatedly inserted and fell into Corrupted’s body. Theo took turns throwing [Romeo] Filled with energy at all four Corrupted entities.

The act was repeated more than dozens of times.

Tuk.

From Noble mtl dot com

All four Corrupted entities fell to the floor.

Slurp.

Their huge black flesh began to scatter in the air.

After some time, only human remains remained where they fell.

The practitioners of light cheered.

They came one after another.

Billy and Mike in the front.

“Hey, Theo. Sounds novel? Where did you learn this? “It’s better than the old church members who only eat food.”

“That’s right. It’s a method I’ve never heard of. “Do they even teach things like this at the academy these days?”

After that, Britney and Adrienne.

“Oh my, the dark elf is here too? But the legs…”

“······I never thought we could even beat Fiat.”

Sara at the very back.

“Thank goodness you’re alive, Theo. “I was worried because the beads instantly turned black.”

They were all smiling.

But Theo’s face was frozen as he looked at them.
