Otome Game Mob Villain

Chapter 489

"E, Elba-sama, ......."

"No. If I am consumed by that black flame of fire and darkness,...... not even a bone will remain."

I could hear the resignation and disappointment of the fox people warriors behind me as they saw the huge black flame ball coming at them, swallowing the earth.

I meditate and take a deep breath, and in my mind's eye I see my father, mother, and Mel.

The faces of all those who serve the Bardia family.

And the smile of Farah, who was waiting for my return, came to my mind one after another.

I swore that I would protect everyone in Bardia even if my life were to end here.

There is nothing to fear now.

I opened my eyes and scowled at the oncoming ball of black flame.

"I will not let this one pass."

I put my hands out in front of my body and launched the spiral spear with all my might.

The ten magic spears that were generated spiraled into a single large magic spear, which slammed head-on into the huge black flame ball.

The battlefield was filled with crazy winds, powerful magic waves, and shockwaves.

"Hou ....... As expected of Rid Bardia. But how long will that magic power last? "

Elba smiled wryly as the spiral spear stopped the black flame.

"E, Elba-sama ......"

'E, Elba-sama .......No." If that black flame of fire and darkness swallows me up, ...... there won't be a bone left."

Witnessing the huge black flame ball approaching, swallowing the earth, I could hear the resignation and disappointment in the voices of the warriors of the fox people behind me.

I meditate and take a deep breath, and in my mind's eye I see my father, mother, and Mel.

The faces of all those who serve the Bardia family.

And the smile of Fara, who was waiting for my return, came to my mind one after another.

I swore that I would protect everyone in Bardia even if my life were to end here.

There is nothing to fear now.

I opened my eyes and scowled at the oncoming ball of black flame.

I will not let this place pass.

I put my hands out in front of my body and launched the spiral spear with all my might.

The ten magic spears that were generated spiraled into a single large magic spear, which slammed head-on into the huge black flame ball.

The battlefield was filled with crazy winds, powerful magic waves, and shockwaves.

"Hou ....... As expected of Rid Bardia. But how long will that magic power last? How long do you think it will last?"

Elba smiled wryly as the spiral spear stopped the black flame.

As he said, if we clashed head-on with only our magical power, I would be at a disadvantage because I was forcibly drawing it out of him.

I desperately endured the feeling that my body was about to blow up from the rebound, and the ground cracked and sank when I stepped on my feet.

I shouted loudly so that the foxmen warriors could hear me.

"Friend or foe, it doesn't matter anymore. I know you have people waiting for your return. I'll hold them off here. You must run away quickly."

"......⁉ But, but ......"

The warriors were looking at each other in agitation and confusion, and were not moving well.

"You didn't listen. He doesn't care about you. If you die here, you will have died for nothing. Live."

The warriors drop their weapons and start moving one by one.

The message spread quickly, and the warriors ran out of the line of fire like spiders scattering.

"I'm sorry to hear about this. You seem to have a lot of ...... time on your hands to care about these useless warriors".

......⁉"

As Elba spat out, a ball of black flame swallowed the spiral spear and came closer and closer.

"Rid Bardia. You are certainly strong. I admire your strength and readiness to risk your life. However, it was only a temporary measure. There was no way you could have beaten me."

My hands hurt as if they were burning, my body creaked here and there, my feet scraped the ground as I stepped on them, and I slowly slid down, unable to restrain my strength.

"I will never, ever give up until the very last ...... moment!"

In that moment of emotional outburst, I felt magical power entering me not from the depths of my own body, but from the outside.

Next, warm light magic power visibly gathered and swirled around me.

The magic power, which at first came in with a reserved air, increased little by little.

"What is ...... that creepy, horrifying magical power⁉ What have you done this time, Rid Bardia!"

Elba shuddered when he saw the magical power gathering around me.

But the incoming magic is very calm and warm.

I wonder if the light of this magic power looks horrifying to his eyes.

But the presence of the magical power gathering around me was familiar.

"This magic is Cross? No,......, it's not just him. I've felt it in all the knights and in Rick and the others."

I noticed that the pain in my hand had stopped and my body was feeling better.

I see, everyone is going to lend me their strength.

My eyes naturally welled up and tears streamed down my cheeks.

I stared at the oncoming black flames and stepped forward to increase the output of my spiral spear.

As I gradually pushed back, Elba pulled a face and fought.

"What is this creepy power⁉ Is it some unknown magic I don't know about? No, no, ...... it's not. Why? Why do I sense the magic of the dead knight and Rick in you?"

"It's not just the two of them. Everyone is helping me. Elba, someone like you, who takes human life for granted, would not understand. The reason why everyone is lending me their power, and the reason why I am risking my life!"

As if in response to my words, the momentum of the spiral spear increases, pushing the black flame ball back to Elba's proximity.

"Nooo, don't bullshit me. That's just a trick. After all, a small fry is still a small fry!"

As his shouts roared across the battlefield, Erba's entire body shimmered with a black magic power overflowing with a terrible hatred, and the momentum of the black flames suddenly grew stronger.

"Ku......⁉"

I clenched my teeth and tried my best to endure it, but the black flames were gradually closing in on me.

Rid Bardia. Don't think that you are the only one who can raise your magical power at the risk of your life. There is no reason why you can do it and I can't. Now disappear like this!"

"I'm not ready ...... to give up yet. Everyone ...... is helping me. I will never give up."

Stamping my feet, I squeeze out the magic power, the magic power in my body.

But I can't increase the output of the spiral spear.

It seems to me that this match has been settled. Rid Bardia, I remember your name ......."

Just as Elba was about to say this, his mouth twisted into a smile, an explosion occurred at his back.

"What is it?!"

Elba, who wrinkled his brow, turned his head to look behind him and saw Diana, Capella and the children of the beastmen standing there in the same position in which they had released the magic spear.

At the same time, it was the slightest gap that Elba showed, and I pulled up the output of my magical power to the maximum.

"Here I am!"

The spiral spear, which gained momentum, pierced and swallowed the black flame ball and headed toward Elba.

"......⁉ What the hell?!"

Elba blinked his eyes and tried to push it back, but he was too late.

The spiral spear swallowed him without stopping.

"'Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh..."

"Not enough!"

I changed the shape of my spiral spear, trapping the swallowed Elba in a sphere of magic, lifting him high into the sky and stagnating him.

He tries to break free but can't move a finger and frowns.

"What ...... is this? This tremendous power is ......⁉"

"Ha ...... ha ...... ha ....... It's over."

Sheathed in its scabbard, I gripped the hilt of the magic sword and put magic power into it in the iai stance, and a great red, flickering flame rose from my whole body.

"Elba Grandek. With this flash, I will end your ambition!"

I leap toward him with my iai stance.

"You're going to end my ambition? ......⁉ Don't mess with me, Rid Bardia. Who the hell do you think you are? ...... I am the man who will become the Beast King, the world's supreme ruler!"

Elba raises his voice and emits from his body a pitch-black magic power filled with a disastrous hatred.

Then, forcing his body to move within the magic on the sphere, he readied his battle axe.

Your 'flash' will be repelled!"

......⁉ Right there!"

The moment Elba was close to me, something entered my eyes and I released a flash of my magic sword toward that spot.

As a high-pitched metallic sound descended on the battlefield, he noticed my intention and changed color.

You⁉ You aimed at the same spot exactly the same as that knight?"

That's right, ...... Cross showed me the way to win. Now you've lost!"

Once again, a high-pitched metallic sound descended on the battlefield.

With a flash of his magic sword, he severed Elba's battleaxe.

But Elba quickly moved his body to avoid the fatal blow.

Even so, his left arm is missing from his shoulder.

"Gooooooo⁉"

Elba's agonized voice roared across the battlefield, but it was not over yet.

I landed on the ground, turned to Elba, who was still trapped by the magic on the sphere in the air, and pointed my left hand at him.

"Blast, blast!"

The next moment, the sphere confining Elba cracked, and it seemed to shrink inward before exploding in a huge explosion.

As I was enduring the blast blowing from the sky, I saw a huge body falling to the ground from the smoke of the explosion, which had been unleashed by the beastification.

◇

I dragged my full-wounded body along, breathing on my shoulders, and found Elba lying on his back in a big heap.

But he was full of a killing spirit.

"I didn't expect ...... you guy to get me this far," he said. I've fallen too."

Elba stared at me with only his eyes moving.

The body seems to be unable to move.

His left arm is missing from the shoulder, but there seems to be no more blood.

Perhaps the wound was burned by the explosion.

"...... Why? If you had used your power in coordination and harmony, you would have become a beast king who will go down in history. What drove you to this heinous act?"

I don't mean to condone his actions.

But he was as strong as he said he would be.

The only reason I'm still standing here is probably just luck, in addition to everyone else's strength.

That's why I was curious as to why Elba was so concerned about the "weak and strong."

Don't ask me if it's a joke."

Elba sniffed derisively.

I've been living my life the way I want to. Besides. Do you really think that everyone comes into this world because they want to? There are some lives in the world that are born without being desired by anyone, regardless of the love of others. Who asked to be born,...... who said they wanted to be born?"

"Elba,...... you,......."

'One is born alone, one lives alone, and one dies alone in one's last days. Your words make me want to vomit. I almost made it so you would never be able to speak again. ...... It's a shame, really."

Elba's eyes were tinged with hatred and anger.

There is no way to know ...... how he was born and brought up, what kind of environment he grew up in and lived in.

Even if I did know, I could not and would not forgive Elba for what he had done.

"Elba, you were strong, but you used your power the wrong way."

I switch my magic sword to my opposite hand and hold it ready to stab him in the heart.

"Farewell."

Just as I was about to swing the tip down, I was struck by a dizziness that made me unsteady on my feet.

What the hell is that?

Rid! I can't take it anymore!"

As the memory's voice echoed in my brain, I felt an electric current run through my entire body, causing me to be in intense pain.

'Gaaaahhh⁉'

While I writhed in agony from the intense pain, the magic power drained from my entire body, and my body became smaller and smaller, and returned to its original shape.
