Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 190

(EP-190.1) Start #1

190 – The Start of the Festival #1

When the ferocious dragon’s rage subsided.

“Ugh-.”

The Hunter was knelt on the ground, vomiting blood, his palms torn and blood dripping profusely.

He looked terribly hurt.

I felt a bit more confident that my attack had been more effective than I thought. This should be enough even if he didn’t surrender.

No-.

No.

This was complacency. Regardless of the medium or the story, main characters could exert greater strength in moments of crisis.

In fact, the original Hunter became more dangerous, like a wounded beast, the more he suffered serious injuries. So, I suppressed my excited emotions that my magic was a success.

Soon, my talent 《Calm Thinking》 was activated and brought back some composure. In my view, the Hunter’s wounds were not that impressive.

Should I say that it was just some peeling of skin in his arms and hands? It was not anything fatal that concerned his life nor decided the outcome of the duel.

Seuk-.

The man rose to his feet. It seemed that he wouldn’t be surrendering. If he had intended to do so, he would have just pretended to fall and stayed on the ground after taking that blow.

“Hu-.”

I took a short breath and my excessive nervousness slowly subsided.

It was said that a mage’s ability to change attitude was closer to the realm of talent. In that sense, my 《Calm Thinking》 was a pretty useful talent.

Through it, I came to a conclusion:

I needed a bigger attack.

Absolute destruction!

“Good eyes. That’s the eyes of a man who’s prepared to die.”

Surreung-.

The Hunter picked up the dagger on the ground.

The blade was torn and chipped, turning it into some kind of saw blade, but that made it look even worse...

Holding it with one hand, the Hunter extended his other hand as if he was trying to measure the distance. Before he could fully catch his breath, I prepared for the next spell.

Huuuuuuu-.

The mana from the air rushed into my mouth, vividly spreading through my heart and veins.

“You are defenseless!”

Sak-.

At that moment, the Hunter hurled the dagger he held towards me. It grazed past near the left side of my neck once again.

Clink-. Fortunately, the attack was nullified by the mana shield, but it was enough to disrupt me. The problem was that his attack didn’t end there.

Ssuk.

The Hunter took advantage of my broken stance and came right under my head.

“―A mage shouldn’t close the distance!”

Thunk-.

My head spun.

This attack cannot be avoided!

“Mana Shield-.”

The distance between us was too close.

This time, I might lose all my petal shields and roll on the ground with fatal injuries-. The Hunter must have thought so as well.

“Doesn’t block all attacks.”

Chwaaak-!
