Hidden Sanity at Villain School - Chapter 73



Only Noblemtl

(073)

The blood magician has fallen.

The bloody thorns that had been holding him up also crumbled.

thud!

Sega fell to the floor with a thud, groaning as he examined his wounds.

‘I was surprised that the protective vest broke, but the wound itself wasn’t as bad as I thought.’

Fortunately, most of the wounds were clean stab wounds.

Thanks to the physique of the bodybuilder, the wounds did not open easily and there was almost no bleeding.

There were already places where scabs had begun to form.

I slowly got up.

He limped and approached Joo Da-hyun.

“Joo Da-hyun! Open your eyes.”

Dahyun, who had collapsed on her back on the floor, was bleeding red blood from her lower abdomen.

“… … Sega?”

Even in the dark, the bleeding was so severe that you could see that his shirt was soaked.

It was as if something was twitching and trying to pop out that it shouldn’t have.

“Me. I’m so cold.”

‘No. You feel cold when you die from blood loss.’

Sega’s mind went blank.

The difference in physical abilities between Dahyun, a telekinesis user, and herself, a telekinesis user, was greater than that between an adult and a child.

He took off his jacket and ripped off the sleeves.

I folded it into a square and pressed it hard against Dahyun’s wound.

It was a serious injury that would have killed Dahyun long ago if she hadn’t learned even a little bit of martial arts in Shinseoul.

“Did you bring any potions? Potion!”

I’ve seen people die many times.

It wasn’t as scary back then as it is now.

But Joo Da-hyun was not an ordinary person.

We were in the same group, we fought the Minotaur together, took the same classes, ate together, and drank together.

They needed each other to survive in New Seoul.

I tried not to give in, but there were things that didn’t work out no matter how hard I tried.

“Bag. In the bag.”

Dahyun opened her eyes half-heartedly and weakly tried to feel her waist.

Sega noticed that Dahyun was wearing a hip sack, so he immediately pulled the string and took off the hip sack.

“……shit!”

The potions inside the hip sack were all broken, leaving only pieces of plastic.

It was clear from the very beginning that it was broken when Dahyun was hit by the shockwave and flew away.

‘Even a little bit.’

Sega sprinkled a few drops of the potion that were left in the largest piece on Dahyun’s wound, and pressed the bottom of the bag that was soaked with the potion onto Dahyun’s wound.

White steam rose little by little, and Dahyun shivered in pain.

“I’ll look for a potion.”

Nayeosu stood up, staggering.

“Should I stay here?”

“I saw a first aid kit in a room earlier.”

“Then quickly! Report it to 119… .”

“The phone hasn’t worked since I entered the experimental complex.”

“Damn!”

She ran down the hallway.

Sega did his best to apply pressure to Dahyun’s wounds.

My palm almost completely covered Dahyun’s waist.

Heir to the Maseok conglomerate Ivory Tower.

Joo Da-hyun, who was called the worst loser among the first-year students of Shinsoul High School and was more arrogant, haughty, and spiteful than anyone else, was much smaller and colder than expected.

“Open your eyes. Stay awake and hold on! If you lose your senses, it’s all over!”

“The situation.”

“Uh. I’m here.”

“I don’t want to die.”

“Never die.”

“I… I don’t want to die. I’ve been losing all this time.”

Tears ran down her porcelain cheeks.

Joo Da-hyun has lost everything over the past few years.

I lost my father whom I respected.

It lost its reputation, which had been somewhat okay.

I lost the people around me who were bustling.

Lost money and power.

He entered Shinseoul with only his portrait abilities remaining.

Even that ability started to deteriorate.

Now, I was in a situation where I could lose my life.

“I have nothing.”

“I’m here. Don’t worry. I promised. I’ll protect you. The bleeding will stop soon, and Yeosu will bring you the potion. Then you can get out of this shitty research area and call Shinseoul.”

Wiggle.

The blood magician who had fallen at that moment rolled his eyes.

“Joo Da-hyun?”

His hand reached into his bosom and pulled out a syringe filled with a glowing blue liquid.

“Did I mishear that? Really?”

The blood donor inserted the syringe into my left wrist.

“I never thought I would meet the enemy of our school here!”

His pupils constricted infinitely, his spine arched, and his body trembled.

Dahyun opened her eyes wide and Sega opened his mouth wide.

The mutation happened in the blink of an eye.

Udder, udder!

The Blood Mage’s size swelled to nearly ten times its original size.

A swarm of thick tentacles emerged from the mouth and writhed in a fitful manner.

The broken leg was reattached and transformed into a reverse joint.

A pair of huge pincers sprouted from its back, and its skin turned red.

“Whoaaaaaaa-!”

The blood magician who had turned into a demon in an instant glared at Dahyun with his six eyes rolling.

Dahyun muttered with her face turned pale, almost blue.

“… …Cheonshinhwagyo?”

The tentacles that the demon had spewed out from its mouth flew towards Dahyun and Sega.

Choaaaak!

Sega quickly picked Dahyun up and ran down the hallway, cutting off the tentacles with his ‘Shadowless Sword’.

“Fuck! What the X monster is that!”

Nayeosu came running after hearing Sega’s screams, and Sega handed Dahyun over to her.

“Potion! Quickly! Quickly!”

“Sega! What is that?”

“I don’t know! Fuck. I’ll just block it first, Potion! Hurry up! Fuck!”

Yeosu ran away with Dahyun, and Sega stood in the hallway and looked at Masu.

“Joo Dahyun!”

The demon’s tentacles fluttered in anger.

* * *

“You are the child of the beast who created a potion that goes against providence!”

thud!

“In the name of the Lord, I will take away the body of sin!”

thud!

The demon went berserk and destroyed the area around the back door of the lab.

‘What the hell? Why did the attacker suddenly turn into a demon? Is he a demon that transforms into a human? Or is he really a human that turns into a demon? I think Dahyun said something. Do we know each other? No. That’s not important right now. Can I win?’

Sega asked questions to buy time.

“Do you know Joo Da-hyun?”

“You are a sinner! You are a sinner who twists providence and makes a medicine that deceives the heavens!”

The demon shouted, scratching its grotesque head, which looked like a mix of frog, human, and octopus, with a hand that had seven long fingers.

‘Are you talking about stimulants? No. Let’s not think about it. What would a guy like that say?’

Sega calmly prepared to attack.

‘For now, I have the advantage in this hallway. Even if a big guy comes in here, he won’t be able to move properly. Let’s proceed safely.’

Fired six spiral salt mines.

Wedge!

The spinning, flying bullet pierced the demon’s body like a screw, but failed to penetrate the red leather and subsided.

It seemed as if they didn’t even realize they were being attacked.

For a moment, the demon stood tall and looked back at Sega.

Six hazy eyes flared in fits of rage.

“You are also a sinner. Because you protected a sinner!”

A giant pincer on its back slammed into the hallway, targeting Sega.

bang!

The concrete wall cracked lightly, and sparks flew whenever the claws struck each other.

‘It’s an incredible power. If you catch it even once, it’s over.’

Sega retreated and used lightning tactics.

Phage crackle!

A blue electric current swept over the demon’s body like a wave.

‘Got it.’

But the current flowed out in vain, as if it could not even penetrate the red leather.

‘what?’

This time, a heat ray was created and fired.

A blue ray of light split the air, creating a flame that burned magical energy at the point of impact, but the demon didn’t even scream.

Sega recalled stories he had heard in his hunting science and modern history classes.

‘It’s said that humanoid entities are often particularly strong, but this is… … .’

They say that there are many cases where a demon that evolved by eating a hunter ends up resembling a hunter, but that was a monster that you couldn’t tell if it was a demon or what.

‘For now, I don’t think my output will be able to handle long distances. If the heat ray doesn’t work, it’s no different from a fireball. Should I just stick together in the end?’

I quickly checked the rough specifications of the demon.

‘I’m about 3.8m tall. My head touches the ceiling of the high laboratory.’

‘It has two hands, but they are long enough to reach the ground, and on its back there are a pair of huge pincers and black spines.’

‘There are about 10 tentacles coming out of its mouth. The maximum length is about 8m, but only about 2m is coming out now. That one could be cut with the invisible sword.’

It was a giant, almost twice the size of Sega.

‘It’s impossible to deal with people with ordinary skills.’

The demon sniffed as if he was smelling something.

“I found the sinner.”

And I took a step towards the hallway where Sega was.

thud.

‘Professor, you never said you’d meet someone like this, did you?’

Sega felt a terrible sense of oppression.

“Your nose is so bright! This little bastard with nostrils!”

The cat in my brain uses passion once more and surrounds me with black energy.

The blue aura burned dizzyingly, and Sega jumped towards the demon’s face.

* * *

Chomp!

The demon swung the tentacles it had spewed out from its mouth, aiming for Sega.

Acidic mucus dripped and burned the floor.

months!

Sega cut off the tentacle with one stroke of his sword, then used his power to kick the air and aim for the demon’s head.

‘Keep calm and do as you’ve been taught.’

Killing someone by cutting off their entire body is the lowest of the low.

Fighting like that is dangerous, but the demon will melt down the magic stone and go berserk, so even if you manage to capture the demon, you won’t be able to get anything out of it.

‘Find the weak point and finish it in one go.’

Throat, eye sockets, spine, genitals, lower abdomen, heart.

Aim for the places you have memorized so well.

Saaaaak!

Sega’s sword aimed for the demon’s neck.

The moment the sharp tip penetrates the red leather.

Pavabababak-!

Long, thorny spines protruded outward.

Thorn armor.

‘You’re saying you’re going to use the bloodletting technique as is?’

Sega fell to the ground, his shoulder and side pierced.

The bloodthirsty wizard who had become a demon tried to trample himself with his giant foot.

thud!

A shockwave occurred, and all the tiles on the floor were lifted.

‘I almost died.’

I rolled around and dodged.

As soon as he stood up, he cut the Achilles’ heel of the demon’s head with his sword.

wickedness!

Although it wasn’t completely cut off, the demon swayed greatly.

“Ugh!”

The demon swung its long pincers at him.

humming!

He swung his sword to block it, but the red, blood-tinged pincers collided with the sword and pushed in, sending Sega flying into a wall.

bang!

The tiles shattered and my body was half-buried in the wall.

I thought as I rose from the dust.

‘Okay. The sword is working. Then there’s no need to waste time.’

My back hurt where I had been hit, but thanks to the cat-in-the-brain technique, I didn’t feel any pain.

The red light returned to the eyes that had been shaking.

It generates magical power to further amplify the sword energy, and by repeating expansion and contraction, it creates shock waves like a heartbeat.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sega swung his pulsating sword energy and charged towards the demon.

The demon retreated in confusion at the power that was completely different from what he had seen before.

‘What’s needed now is not analysis, but courage.’

Sega swung his sword, aiming for the demon’s stomach, regardless of whether the demon had spread its thorn armor or not.

Medium wave.

Paaaaaaaah-!

A blue shockwave swept through the air, and a demon nearly 3.8 meters tall was pushed back as if swept by a wave and fell.

puck!

This time, the thorn armor shot up and stabbed his chest.

Sega gritted his teeth and held on, smiling as if he were invincible.

“I don’t know who you’re calling a sinner, but when you point out other people’s mistakes too much, you often end up feeling guilty yourself.”

“A sinner who deceived God!”

“Shut your fucking mouth. What are you, the most deceitful looking guy, talking about? If someone like you had shown up in Shinseoul, you’d be caught right away and taken to the incinerator. Oh. Then will they give you the gag scholarship this time too?”

“New Seoul. The evil fortress of the deceivers. It will all burn and fall with the sound of the trumpet of victory!”

The demon staggered and raised his giant body.

At that point, Sega was convinced that the demon had some semblance of intelligence left.

‘I’m not just muttering like an echo. If I just attack like a demon, it might be read and I might get counterattacked.’

‘Even the medium wave couldn’t kill him in one shot. I wish there was something to divert my gaze.’

The demon stretched out his long hand forward.

Drops of blood spurted out, and blood-spraying bullets flew in.

Pavabababak-!

Sega dodged the blow with all his might, gritting his teeth.

‘Twenty bullets of the salt mine at once. Even that guy won’t be able to hold out with that, right?’

One more time.

‘Let’s do it!’

I kick the ground, thinking about ripping off all the tentacles waving from its snout.

It took a strength incomparable to that required to simply hit and drop a salt bomb.

Cover your hands with your own space.

‘asleep.’

Naturally, a salt mine appeared above his head and shoulders.

A cutting-type copper bullet with a tip that resembles an axe blade.

“asleep!”

As soon as he shouted, a bullet was fired.

Boom, boom!

The bullet pierced through the red leather, causing blood to spurt out, and thorns to sprout from the blood.

Bloodletting Thorn Armor was closer to a passive ability that lasted a long time once activated.

Flying bullets, slicing tentacles, thorns shooting out of blood.

Now, all of that has become a smokescreen that hides the devil’s eyes.

Sega kicked the platform of power and ran, spreading his horsepower.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The connection between the magical power gathered in this way and the medium wave was very natural.

‘One more time. Just like that time.’

He aimed for the demon’s neck and fired a medium wave.

Blue eyes and yellow eyes met.

A blue shock wave rose like a tidal wave.

He laughed and the demon was shocked.
