Maybe I really am a Villian

Chapter 96: Alone [11]

Asher looked at the girl and said, "You are quite smart."

Then he paused and continued in a confused tone, "Then why are you going against me?"

He made a face of realization and said, "Oohh, so it’s because of that little lightning rat, Leon Zevark. I guess lust overtook your logic."

The girl’s face turned red with anger, and she was just about to say something, but before she could, Asher was already in front of her.

Asher then punched her beautiful face with his giant mana hand and sent her flying. freewebnøvel.coɱ

He looked at the others and said, "So, 5 down, 13 more to go."

Then he dissolved his giant mana hand, manifested his mana, and vanished. A moment later, he reappeared behind a boy.

The boy noticed Asher, turned around, and attacked with his sword, but Asher had already teleported away. He appeared behind him once again and cut off the arm that was holding the sword.

But Asher did not stop. He kept teleporting from one student to another without wasting a single moment and continued attacking them.

Sometimes he would cut off their arms with ease, while other times he had to defend against their attacks before teleporting to a different target.

He also suffered many attacks, but none of them managed to injure him, as they were stopped by the mana layer covering his body.

However, that mana layer became thinner after enduring so many attacks and eventually disappeared, as Asher no longer had enough mana to maintain it.

But he did not need to maintain it anymore.

There was no one left standing.

Everyone was already lying on the ground, either unconscious or missing limbs.

Some had bleeding noses, while others had blood covering their entire faces.

Then all of them were teleported back to the Academy and eliminated from the test.

Asher was sweating. His clothes were drenched in blood and sweat. The blood was not his, but the sweat was.

Asher looked at his clothes and muttered, "Oohh, my clothes got dirty. But it doesn’t matter since there is no one left to scold me for it now."

Then he paused, took out a towel, wiped away the sweat, and muttered, "Sadly, there is no rain falling right now, or I would have said, ’I am perspiring? Me? Perspiring? Nah, it must be rain. These ants can never make me perspire.’ But I guess maybe another time."

Then he looked toward his right and said, "Ohh, can’t you guys see my guard is down? Just attack me already. How long are you going to make me wait?"

After some time, three figures emerged from that direction.

Two girls and one boy.

Roselia Silverleaf, Celestine Voltaris, and Leon Zevark.

They stood about fifty meters away from him.

Asher looked at them, then turned his gaze toward Roselia and said, "Isn’t that the famous Royal Stalker?"

Then he looked at Leon, who was already holding his sword tightly and seemed ready to fight at any moment, and said, "And also the lady-charming, Religious Little Light Rat."

Finally, he looked at Celestine and said, "And the Shock Princess as well."

Asher was calling them by their humiliating nicknames, but none of them showed any reaction or acted angrily because they knew it was all an attempt to provoke them into acting hastily on their emotions.

After all, who knew what other tricks Asher was hiding?

Because of that, all of them kept their guards at their peak.

Then Celestine looked at Roselia and said in a serious tone, "Ask your spirit if he is really low on mana right now."

Roselia then summoned her spirit. This time, it manifested in the shape of a bird.

The spirit looked at Asher and instantly hid behind Roselia’s back before saying in a frightened tone, "He has only twenty percent of his mana left."

Then the spirit hesitated, looked at Roselia, and added, "But I am still telling you, don’t fight that being. That thing feels too dangerous."

Asher looked at the spirit, then at Roselia, who had a serious expression after hearing her spirit’s warning, and said, "I am hurt by your words, but I guess you are at least smart, unlike your contractor."

Celestine listened to the spirit’s words and simply nodded.

After that, Roselia canceled her summon, and the spirit returned inside her body. But before disappearing, it glanced at Asher, then at Roselia, and sighed.

Yet none of them attacked.

Then Celestine looked at both Roselia and Leon.

Both of them nodded in response.

They were not even talking and were communicating solely through gestures.

The next moment, Celestine quickly summoned several lightning spears and fired them at Asher at a speed far greater than during her last fight with him.

She must have practiced hard to achieve such speed in just forty days.

Asher looked at the incoming attacks, but there was no worry on his face.

The lightning spears reached his position, but just before they could hit him, he vanished and reappeared behind Celestine.

Celestine did not even look behind despite knowing that Asher was already there.

But before Asher could attack her, a wall of thick vines manifested between them.

Roselia had summoned it. freewёbnoνel.com

Asher looked at the wall of vines, then glanced at Roselia and muttered, "Wood Element."

At the same time, more vines emerged around his feet and attempted to bind his legs.

However, Asher had already noticed them and retreated backward.

But the vines followed him relentlessly, refusing to lose their target.

Asher looked at the vines chasing after him and easily cut them apart with his mana blades.

But before he could even rest for a moment, Celestine Voltaris—who was now standing atop a tall tree, or perhaps a giant vine—had already thrown several lightning spheres toward him.

They were just about to reach him.

But Asher vanished once again and teleported some distance away.

However, the moment he reappeared, a figure cloaked in light was already upon him.
