I Became a Villain who Receives Obsession

78 – Belgrove (5)

Quaang-

Reina’s magic was activated, and numerous ice crystals were shot in all directions, piercing the bodies of the goblins.

Along with the screams of the goblins writhing in pain, the narrow passageway was quickly filled with the blue blood of the monsters.

The goblin battle line quickly became a mayhem.

“Suck!”

Lian Altane, a man with gray hair, jumped in without missing the moment.

He raised his sword shimmering with black energy and charged at the goblins in front.

Due to the chaos from behind, the heads of three or four goblins who had not seen the man approaching were cut off in an instant.

Immediately following the man’s sword, the bodies of the nearby goblins were severed and blue blood gushed out.

Kihehehe-

Crying out in pain, the goblins whose limbs had been cut off rushed at the man as he killed himself, but they were all cut off by the man’s black sword.

“crazy… .”

Looking at the strange sight of blood gushing out from another place before the blue blood gushed upward like fireworks, before sinking,

Hans muttered softly, holding a longsword in his hand.

“Whoops… It seems that alone is enough… .”

“… .”

“Count… .”

A man named Lian, known as the only member and head of the infamous Altane family.

Hans remembered the academy entrance ceremony when he first met him.

The time when he caught him passing by and insulted him, saying that he was not a noble and that his family was ruined.

The moment I got angry at his remarks, if the princess of the Iisten family over there hadn’t intervened… .

‘He had such skills?’

I had heard that he played an active part in the Mine Attack incident not too long ago, but I knew that Siegfried had a decisive role.

Being in Class A means that you have some level of ability, but it is only from the status of a student.

It is safe to say that the skills that Lian is showing right now are of a high standard within the academy, no, at the top of the list at this point.

The fact that a student who had only been enrolled for a month or two was overpowering dozens of goblins was a situation that made even Hans, who was confident in his skills, shake his head.

It wasn’t just Hans who was surprised by Lian’s skills.

After using the magic, Reina, who was preparing for the next magic right away, also paused the magic for a while and just stared at the situation in front of her eyes.

Like the Mephisto incident that happened the other day, Lian has considerable fighting skills.

Reina herself also has magical skills that are well known among students of her age, but in Lian’s case, it seemed that she was one or two steps ahead of her.

Although she had known him for a long time, Reina had never properly seen Lian’s swordsmanship and physical abilities.

Even when he was bullied by the vicious Rhino brothers, he didn’t save himself.

Even when she heard that he had been accepted into the academy, she only thought that he had connections within the academy or that he had just paid back money.

He said that there was no way he could have passed the academy’s test-

‘Since when… ?’

Since when did you have such a skill?

From the day the engagement with you was terminated?

From the day he started buying young girls at random?

or not-

“Hey, Reina!”

Reina’s mind, which had been lost in thought, rose to the surface again at the familiar voice.

The movement of the advancing battle lines slowed down as they slashed the approaching goblins with a single sword.

Immediately, she infused mana into the magic circle she was chanting in her hand and began to activate it.

The magic circles respond to the mana and begin to rotate at high speed, and soon merge into one mass.

“Is, Eoro.”

Reina’s original magic that combines the rune of Is, which rotates ice crystals, and the rune of protection, Eolh.

It was a technique that covered each of the sharp crystals with layers of shields to prevent fragments of the crystals from colliding with objects from spreading in all directions.

It’s an appropriate magic to use when you’re in a narrow passage like now.

It only aims at the exact target, and there is no aftermath.

sssss-

The same blue crystal as before leaves Reina’s hand and slowly floats through the air.

When Lian, who had confirmed this at a certain distance and reached the middle of the goblin group, turned his head and looked at Reina,

She nodded.

At Rayna’s signal, Lian grabbed Hans by his side and withdrew from the line.

“Keeek?”

“Queek! Kiheek!”

As they retreated, the goblins, who had just been fighting a bloody battle, began to tilt their heads and scream.

It seemed like he was running away somewhere.

Even so, seeing that he didn’t rush right away, at least he seemed to have the intelligence to read the situation.

Thanks to this, Lian and Hans were able to catch their breath and readjust their posture.

Hans took a deep breath and looked at Lian, who stood up again, as if nothing had happened, and spoke to him.

His breathless appearance was truly tongue-in-cheek.

“… Altein, where did you learn such swordsmanship?”

“Are you learning?”

“As for the strange-looking sword, it doesn’t look like it was learned from an imperial knight.”

Overall, the way he wielded his sword was closer to that of an adventurer than a knight.

An adventurer who wields a sword recklessly, but who shows his unique characteristics, rather than a knight whose decisions are fixed and angular.

Most of the sons of nobles, who are trained by skilled knights from an early age, are taught similar swordsmanship.

That’s why even if you go later and join the knights, you won’t have much difficulty adapting in terms of swordsmanship.

Being taught swordsmanship by a knight is also a symbol of wealth.

Most commoners wouldn’t even have a chance to properly hold a sword, let alone receive the knight’s instruction.

Even if you hold it, all you have to do is swing it in a fist-like manner.

“I just learned it by watching it with my eyes. There is no such thing as a teacher.”

click-

It was Lian who explained as if nothing happened while holding the black sword, but Hans knew how absurd that was.

At the same time, I tried not to admit it.

He sees it through his eyes and incorporates it into his body.

That you can copy what you see with your own eyes.

It just means you have a natural talent.

‘The only member of a soon-to-be extinct family is a genius? If I can fight like that against goblins, I can do it too. So it’s still too early to judge.’

If he puts his mind to it, he should be able to slash the goblins in front of him with a single sword and clear his way.

Hans believed in his swordsmanship, which he had been taught by a former leader of a prestigious order of knights.

It’s because his family is much better and has a lot of power than that kind of rogue.

I’ve seen a few times in past books saying that the Altyn family made a name for themselves in the past, but that was only a story from tens or hundreds of years ago.

Now, his family has collapsed and only ruins remain, standing on the threshold of extinction, only a nameless façade.

Hans repeated to himself that he seemed to be getting good reviews only recently, but there was no way he could get tired of a guy who was ruining himself intoxicated with female sex even after destroying the one and only estate.

Paaang-

As Reina’s magic was activated, ice spears pierced the stomachs of nearby goblins in an instant.

Once again, blue blood gushed into the air, creating a terrifying sight with grotesque screams.

“It seems to be over.”

*

Goblins are fearful monsters from birth.

That is why, unless it is unavoidable, they always act in groups and never try to fight alone.

Being able to be frightened also means that you have the level of intelligence to objectively grasp the opponent’s and your own strength.

“Kki, kkiek!”

What would he do if dozens of his friends were decapitated and torn limb from limb in just a few minutes?

Should I run away, or should I sit on the floor and beg for my life because I don’t have the strength to do so?

“Keeek!”

After inserting a black sword into the neck of a goblin that had lost its fighting spirit and rushed at it recklessly, they did not attack any more as I watched the few remaining goblins.

At first, they probably pushed because there were a lot of pages, but the more they did, the more they realized that they were the only ones dying.

I put the black sword back in and opened my mouth to the feeling I felt from behind.

“Now get used to it, Elaine.”

From the moment Reina’s magic was activated, Elaine was holding on to my jacket and sticking to my back.

It seems that the 17-year-old was not accustomed to the grotesque sights yet.

Well, if it wasn’t for Altane’s influence, I would have seen that scene and hid behind Reina or Hans.

I understand.

I want to hug her tightly and go out to the end of the cave, but because there is such a thing as an image, there are things I said a little firmly.

And now you’re going to see more than this, but you’ll have to get used to it by now.

“Ugh… .”

There’s no use in being so cute.

I approached Reina, who kept glancing at the corners of her mouth, which kept rising while pretending to sigh naturally, and confirmed the request again.

“Anyway, the monster on the request was a goblin.”

“… .”

“Why?”

“It is nothing. And if there are this many, it doesn’t seem like there are other monsters.”

I asked because it seemed like he was constantly passing me, and he said it was nothing again.

I seem to be staring at you these days.

“It’s a good thing that guys like this didn’t come down to the village.”

Hans tapped the corpses of the goblins with the blade of his longsword stained blue.

All the remaining goblins had just died at his hands.

“Whoops… If it hadn’t come, it might have been dangerous… .”

“hit. Good timing.”

“It’s fortunate that they’re goblins, too, if they’re like orcs— hmm? What is this?”

Kkang-

It was the sound made by an object that had been ricocheted by Hans’ longsword as he was rummaging through the corpse.
