Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy - Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy chapter 297

297 – Self Control (5)

The current state of the practitioners of light was contained in Theo’s eyes.

‘Everyone has used [Liberation].’

Since no physical transformation occurred and only the eyes turned red, it appears that only a very basic [Liberation] Was achieved.

Still, it is dangerous. Naturally, being exposed to demonic energy is dangerous, but even more so when it is in [Liberated] State.

‘We need to take action quickly.’

[Liberation] Used by practitioners of light is to forcibly hold a high-dimensional being, an angel, in the body of a lowly person. You can use power that is incomparable to before, but of course the cost is high. The power of angels is too great to be accepted by human flesh.

If you continue to use [Liberation], You will eventually lose yourself.

In other words, the soul evaporates and only the instincts remain, making it a murder weapon.

Theo spoke to the practitioners of light.

“End [Liberation] Right now.”

Billy responded.

“Ah, that’s right. I forgot to unpack it. Thank you~”

After a few seconds, all of the Light Acolytes, including Billy, opened their eyes wide.

“Uh, it won’t be released… Huh? “This is my first time like this.”

“You too?”

“Uh. “I keep losing strength… Ugh.”

Billy opened his mouth wide. The redness inside the eyes began to spread throughout the face.

After a while, vivid veins appeared on the faces and bodies of all the practitioners of light.

Theo’s companions were shaken.

“······What is that?”

“Kyaaa~ Theo, I’m scared~! “It’s so ugly~!”

Sienna jumped at Theo. After that, P.L. And Jang Woo-hee also came towards Theo.

The expression that Sienna was ugly was true. The current appearance of the practitioners of light was so strange that the friendship that had been built up over several days was instantly blown away.

Even Jang Woo-hee frowned and glared at the practitioners of light.

“······.”

Theo also experienced the pain of [Twisted Dignity of Nobility]. Their appearance was too hideous for his character to accept.

“Ugh.”

But the moans came out for a different reason.

My heart is beating fast.

Blood vessels expand as if blood is rushing.

My eyes are bloodshot.

I feel like my whole body is overflowing with energy.

······[Hero’s Descendants] Has been activated.

Theo stared at the attendants of light with bloodshot eyes.

‘I have been caught up in evil. ······No.’

Originally, angels and demons have many common denominators. It is reasonable for [Descendants of the Hero] To recognize their current form as the devil.

If [Liberation] Had been used continuously, [Hero’s Descendants] Would have been activated at some point even if they were not exposed to demonic energy.

Theo spoke to the practitioners of light.

“Whoever can hear me, nod their heads.”

The attendants of light only looked at Theo, but did not nod. At least Sarah was the only one who nodded after a while.

Theo’s mind quickly grasped the current situation.

‘He doesn’t listen to me, but he doesn’t attack me… Does this mean he still has some sense of reason left?’

But it won’t last long. The sealed great devils within the shrine continue to supply magical energy to the practitioners of light.

If time passes like this, will they also change like Corrupted? Or will it become a hybrid creature of the heavenly world and the demonic world?

Even Theo didn’t know what was going to happen.

‘The superiors who gave this mission must have known that the current situation would occur.’

Anyone who has the authority to give mission orders to an attendant of light will most likely know the secret of [Liberation].

‘Why?’

The Acolytes of Light are not irreplaceable at the level revered by members of many religious denominations, but they are quite high-quality personnel. They are people who stand out even within a church crowded with talented individuals. Even without [Liberation], It has the potential to become a top-tier powerhouse on the continent. If he had graduated from the academy and become a warrior, he would have secured a spot in a high-ranking guild within a short period of time.

Nevertheless, the person who ordered this mission used them as a discarding card.

‘······Conspiracies and interests that I am not aware of are involved in this mission.’

Fiat must have realized that the atmosphere was unusual, and came to stand near Theo.

“I don’t think we can avoid battle. Theo Lin Walderk, I will fight as long as I do not hinder your movements.”

“······.”

Instead of responding, Theo looked at the attendants of light in turn.

Changes were slowly taking place in their bodies. Ring-shaped lights appeared on the wrists and ankles, and small white wings were sticking out from both wing bones.

Not long after, Theo made up his mind.

‘First, keep them away from the Great Demon Shrine.’

We believe that cutting off the supply of magic energy is the top priority.

However, in the current situation, there was no way that saying things like, ‘Guys, you are in a very dangerous situation right now, should we go somewhere else?’

Slurring─

Theo pulled out the [Demon Sword] From his belt. He then chanted to his companions.

“Everyone ready for battle. If possible, subdue rather than kill.”

The companions drew their weapons.

Theo continued.

“Avoid confrontation. “After Sienna binds their limbs with spirits, we will deal with them in earnest.”

Fiat asked.

“Is it okay to cut off a limb?”

“It would be better to subdue it in as intact a state as possible, but only the head and body need to be intact. “The goal is to quickly get them away from the Great Demon Shrine.”

“I understand.”

With those words, the battle between Theo and his party and the Acolytes of Light began.

In order to buy time for Sienna to call her spirit, Theo ran to the acolytes of light.

‘Finish quickly.’

Even with the Imitation Elixir, Ki was not recovered, so there was almost no Ki that could be used.

Theo immediately used [Overrun].

The battle ended quickly.

Approximately three minutes later, all five practitioners of light were lying on the floor with their limbs severed. They purred with bloodshot eyes, as if they still had strength left.

Because Theo and his party fought under Theo’s command, they did not suffer much damage.

The practitioners of light showed unprecedentedly powerful physical abilities, but at the cost of losing their reason. They were caught off guard by Siena’s higher-ranking spirits and Jang Woo-hee, and while swinging around, their limbs were cut off by Theo and his group’s sword.

However, Theo coughed up blood from his mouth.

“······Cough.”

His whole body was trembling. It was an internal injury caused by overuse of [Overrun].

Theo took out a bottle of Imitation Elixir from the [Subspace Bag] And spoke to Sienna.

“Siena, move all the Light Acolytes to the entrance of the building.”

“······I understand.”

Unlike usual, Sienna, with a worried expression, used the wind spirit to move the attendants of light towards the entrance of the building.

Theo said.

“We also move towards the entrance of the building. “Continued exposure to demonic energy must be avoided.”

Theo and his group moved toward the entrance of the building.

The acolytes of light with their limbs cut off looked at the group and purred again. However, he was bound by the spirits of wind and earth and could not move.

Theo looked at that figure, creaked and shook his head.

Shake it off.

Theo’s body fell to the floor.

The companions’ eyes opened wide.

Piel was the first to support Theo.

“Hey, hey, hey…! Are you okay?”

“It’s okay… Everything. “This is a little trickier than that.”

Theo handed the Imitation Elixir to Piel with hands shaking like aspen trees.

Piel urgently opened the lid and knelt in front of Theo. Afterwards, she laid Theo’s head on her thigh.

Theo opened his mouth in a voice that was boiling with phlegm.

“What…What, P.L. “Golden I am dirty…”

“Oh, don’t say any more! “Hey, look at the bleeding…”

“······.”

Theo closed his eyes in silence.

‘It’s not easy.’

Perhaps because Piel’s thighs were moderately muscled, they looked like the pillow she usually used. It smelled good too.

Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on Theo’s lips.

Piel looked down at Theo’s peaceful face in fascination.

After a while, Piel spoke hurriedly.

“Hey, hey! You can’t sleep yet! “Open your mouth first!”

“······Ah.”

Theo began to open his mouth.

It took quite a while for his mouth to open enough to fit a bottle cap. My blood-covered lips trembled repeatedly.

Piel was moved to tears when he saw that.

“······Sigh.”

It felt like tears were about to pour out.

She barely held back, and slowly poured her Imitation Elixir down Theo’s throat.

Approximately 10 minutes later.

Theo opened his eyes again and stood up. Then I tried moving his body around.

‘Her body functions have not fully recovered.’

Compared to when she drank the Imitation Elixir before, the effect was about half.

‘······Maybe I’ve developed a tolerance.’

Recently, the imitation elixir has been abused.

She could move her body anyway, so it was okay. Now I have to do my job.

Theo said, looking back and forth between the Light Acolytes and Sienna, who were still captured by the spirits.

“Thank you for your hard work, Sienna.”

Theo pulled out the [Elemental Sword] And aimed it at the practitioners of light.

Kugugugu──

A rising stone wall trapped the practitioners of light.

Next, Theo took something out of her arms. It was a jewel the size of a young girl’s fist, and I had received it from Taylor not long ago.

Fiat asked.

“What is that, Theo Lin Walderk?”

“This is an item to call someone to take care of this situation.”

Kwasik!

Theo threw her jewelry on the floor.
