Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 71

(EP-71.2) Shadows Cast #7

071 – Shadows Looming Ark #7

Sareureureu-.

The Lich’s strong body turned into sand and disappeared.

The skeletons and zombies that were rustling around also got scattered into a handful of sand.

I don’t know what happened, but it was a good thing that there were no longer any beings that could become our enemies.

『Foolish Aleister. You dare refuse my orders...?』

The monster’s voice echoed long.

Its body’s state was battered and ripped apart, spewing out purple mucus. Or was it blood?

“Hey, Theo, how long do we have to beat this guy? How is it not dying?”

After dealing with the giant monster for 10 minutes, it looked like the fatigue was getting to her.

『You made it come to this aaaahh, die-!』

It stretched out its long, slimy legs towards Elga. Well, it was more like a tentacle rather than a leg, then a sharp spear rather than a tentacle.

Chiiiik.

“Eut!”

As it passed through Elga’s side, it quickly corroded her clothes, which made her take them off. She ripped off her blouse, and threw it on the floor.

With that, Elga’s sweaty body and underwear were exposed. Now that I had a clearer look, she had a lot of small scars painting her body.

She was currently dodging the incoming attacks, but if she got hit by Gamigin, even a single strike would be quite fatal.

Pusyuk, Pusyuk, Pusyuk.

The monster’s amorphous body shot out thorn-like tentacles in all directions like a hedgehog.

『You bitches, don’t you think about dying nicely, aaaah-! I’ll turn you into breeding cauldrons, raaaaah-!!!!』

Pusyuk, Pusyuk.

“Theo, let’s back off for now!”

Elga grabbed my waist and we hid behind a thick pillar. Fortunately, the strong pillars of the castle ruins were enough to avoid the monster’s tentacle attacks.

“Is there no better way?”

Elga asked me.

Continuously hacking it down till it dropped dead was the only thing that came to mind. Because that was how the Villain Hunter did it in the novel.

“That method is too reckless. It’s hard on my own right now. How many times can you use your magic?”

Hearing Elga’s question, I checked my gas tank.

“I could probably do it two more times.”

“That is not enough.”

Tsk— Elga clicked her tongue.

Taking a deep breath, Mirna, who had been silent after her father evaporated into sand, said.

“Anti-magic. We have to use an anti-magic spell.”

“An anti-magic spell?”

Mirna added after hearing Elga’s confusion.

“As I mentioned earlier, Gamigin is the living magic spell of Demon King Solomon. If you cast an anti-magic spell, it will disappear.”

Using anti-magic, huh...

Now that I thought about it, it made sense.

So, I stuck my heart-tailed wand out of the pillar we were taking cover from and began to cast one spell I knew.

—Belial!

Pajit.

Magic shot out like a white spark, rushing towards the howling monster. Getting hit, the monster trembled loudly.

『Antiiiiii-magic? Balan did the same /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ thing-. However, do you really think this sloppy, half-assed trick will work...!? I am the disaster of Angmar...!』

Was it also useless?

Was it due to my low level?

Bulttuk, bulttuk.

Just then, the monster’s body began to tremble violently.

Not only that, its body began to melt akin to that of a huge iceberg plunging into the sea due to global warming.

『Wha, what-! What is this, what!? WHAT-! My body, my body’s melting-! How come-aaahh...!?』

It seemed that my spell was working quite well.

Was it because I was of King Angmar’s blood?

What the, then, shouldn’t I have done this from the beginning...

“Hey, Theo! Keep doing that! I think it’s working!”

“I want to as well, but my mana is almost exhausted!”

“Exhausted mana? Then, do it with willpower!”

What, willpower?

Yes, had I ever lacked willpower?

Not knowing what would happen, my forehead wrinkled as I squeezed out the magic energy from my entire body.

─Belial-!
