Licht and Squall stood face to face.
After learning about Lily's situation, Razel changed into his alter ego, Licht.
The hotel door could only be opened from the inside.
He stole the clothes of a pizza delivery guy passing by and entered under a fake order.
The moment they were checking him, Licht quickly killed the guards.
Then he went for the receptionist and destroyed any device that allowed connection to the outside.
That's how he began his slaughter until he encountered Flynt.
And now, here we are.
◇
I was standing in front of someone who is very annoying.
Apparently, this guy was the third student who scored 100 points instead of Lily; damn thief, she couldn't get into the prince's class because of you!
Worst of all, according to the game, this guy's family belongs to the high executives of the Black Crows.
It will be annoying to deal with them after leaving.
I don't even know if anyone will come, so I need to finish this quickly.
In a fraction of a second, I lunged to stab a small dagger into his eye.
These things were items bought from weapon shops.
Since Amy enchanted them with different spells, no one can trace them.
"It's over."
I said in a discouraged tone as the knife headed for his eye.
But something unexpected happened.
"Huh?"
For some reason, I was now looking at the ceiling.
I was covered in debris from a table.
What happened?
I didn't understand what occurred; I must have slipped.
After getting up, I did the same thing again, but this time it was no different.
Now I was looking at the windows.
"Damn it!"
I got up again and attacked him with great force.
This time I understood what was happening.
The son of a bitch activated a magic circle, then recited a spell.
"Gravity magic: opposing forces."
I was hit by a strange invisible force.
"It seems you finally understood. But it doesn't matter."
The bastard approached me.
His large foot was raised and then he tried to step on me.
I dodged it, but wasn't quick enough for the next one.
His large foot impacted my head, then I was lifted and thrown against a wall.
For some reason, the wall broke.
"I'll tell you since you won't get out alive."
The guy took off his shirt for some reason.
"My magical attribute is weak; for that reason, I learned a spell that would serve me. Thanks to various medical supplements, I can achieve something like this. Level four magic."
(Supplements? That means... doping?)
"And thanks to that, I developed this ability and this strength."
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!"
His muscles began to grow.
His skin color changed to red.
His eyes opened; it was scary; his pupils are small, but the blood injected into them was terrifying.
"Alright. Let's begin the revenge!"
As the bastard ran towards my position, he tore up parts of the carpet.
I stood up and threw a kick at him.
He received it, but nothing happened.
Now my left fist was carried against his face.
The impact was strong; his neck bent, but nothing happened.
I stepped back.
His neck returned to normal, and with a little blood running down his nose, he said.
"Was that all? Good, my turn."
He activated the spell again, and this time I was dragged towards him.
"Gravity magic: opposing fields!"
I approached him.
(It seems similar to what I remember about the solar system.)
(The planets orbit the sun because the center is its axis.)
(Shit!)
"Hahaha, I caught you."
The bastard caught me.
But I stabbed a blade into his left eye.
The pain should be unbearable, but the bastard felt no pain.
In fact, the blood that ran down to his mouth was licked as if it were candy.
Then, he quickly slammed me against a wall.
The wall cracked.
I was now thrown against the ceiling.
I hit a lamp very hard.
As I fell, the bastard stepped on me.
The force of my fall combined with the blow made the pain worse than I thought.
I spat out a large amount of blood from my mouth.
Damn it, I was overconfident.
I didn't bring Leila or Amy, who are much stronger than me, to support me.
At this rate, I'm going to die.
After being lifted, he slammed me repeatedly and in different ways against the windows.
"Take that! You piece of shit! Fight back! You thought it would be easy to infiltrate and kill me! Huh? Don't fuck with me! After I break your arms and legs, I'll rape that bitch before killing you both!"
My consciousness was fading little by little.
(I was naive.)
(Naivety is paid for with pain.)
(For not bringing reinforcements, I'm going through this.)
(Damn it, all I wanted was to prevent the end of the world from coming.)
(I just... wanted to live happily, unlike my previous life.)
(Is... my choice to help save the world from the shadows wrong?)
(Is my duty in this world merely to be a spectator of its end?)
Everything was getting worse.
◇◇◇
"Umm..."
Lily was waking up.
She was thrown along with the sofa to one side, so she wasn't too injured.
Realizing she was in an unfamiliar place, she heard strange noises.
Her arms and legs were tied; she crawled like a caterpillar.
Approaching the center, she visualized a horrible scene.
It was Licht being held by his face.
Squall's hand was so large that Licht's entire face was in it.
He squeezed it tightly; cracks were visible in the mask.
"Come on, show me your face, whoever you are."
The mask cracked more and more; after a brief moment, it completely shattered.
Lily could see Razel's beaten face.
"Huh? Who the hell are you?"
"Well, it doesn't really matter. I'll kill you anyway."
Lily watched in horror as Razel showed a pained expression while unable to free himself.
She wanted to scream and cry for it to stop.
But her voice wouldn't come out.
Only tears ran down her rosy cheeks.
But suddenly, Squall stopped.
"Come to think of it."
To say something disturbing.
"I always wanted to try human meat; I wonder how it will turn out?"
Lily's eyes widened at the horror she heard.
Squall opened his mouth as wide as a dog.
Saliva dripped from his teeth.
It was just like eating a cookie.
Squall bit Razel's left forearm.
"Aaaah. Aaaah. Aaaaaaaaahhh!!!!"
Razel screamed in indescribable pain as his eyes opened wide from the horrible sensation he was experiencing.
Lily watched as Squall tore the flesh from his forearm like it was a steak.
A large amount of blood quickly covered the left arm, and Razel groaned in pain.
"... Aaah, aaah, aaaahh..."
Squall chewed the flesh like normal food.
But after judging its taste, he spat it out on the floor.
"It tastes horrible; maybe cooked or roasted it would taste better."
Lily couldn't take it anymore and broke the ropes tying her with sheer force.
Her wrists and calves were red.
She ran at full speed while grabbing a piece of broken glass.
She embedded it very hard into Squall's back.
He noticed it.
"Huh? Oh, you..."
He threw Razel into a hole.
He turned around to look at Lily.
"What an annoying bitch."
He gave her a strong boxer's punch to her left cheek.
Lily rolled on the floor while spitting blood.
"Puah!"
Her cheek was red and swollen. Blood covered her teeth.
She was weak.
As she fearfully lifted her face, she saw Squall approaching.
"Heavens, I guess I'll hit you a bit before raping you."
Lily lost strength in her legs, but with the strength of her voice, she said.
"Ra... zel-kun, I'm sorry."
Lily closed her eyes, expecting the worst.
"Don't apologize when you haven't done anything wrong."
Her eyes immediately opened upon seeing Razel covered in blood and with a very terrifying serious face.
His smile was scary; he seemed to have lost his sanity.
Squall said in a mocking tone.
"Oh... still alive? I guess I'll have to hurt you more."
He approached Razel, but...
"I realized something."
He didn't care what he was saying as he approached to kill him.
"One of the biggest clichés has always been waiting for help in a moment of danger. That moment is still present, but no one came. Normally, the script helps characters get out of that situation."
"I always disliked that method, you know?"
Squall stood in front of Razel, stretched out his hand, and as he lowered it to hit him...
"That's why I thought of this."
He was gone.
Before Squall's eyes, Razel had disappeared like dust.
"I understand that the situation is dangerous. And that the author wants to make the characters stand out."
Razel was near Lily when Squall reacted too late.
He lifted her; Squall approached to hit him.
"For that reason, I considered this during your beating."
Once again, Razel had disappeared.
Squall looked around nervously, as if dealing with a ghost.
"I'm going to eliminate that outcome."
The voice came from behind.
Squall watched as Lily was gently placed on the sofa.
"I'm going to eliminate the events of the story. It doesn't matter if it's an event that will happen in a day, a year, or ten years. I'll crush it at the root. I will never again allow that by letting the flow of a romantic event happen, my life or that of someone I care about is endangered."
Razel had a demonic look in his eyes.
"Hah? I don't understand a single word you're saying, idiot!"
"It doesn't really matter."
At that moment, Razel teleported.
"Because you're going to die here."
Razel's hands shone with electricity coursing through his body.
"Let me introduce my new skills I gained thanks to your punishment. Electrifying palm!"
A great electric shock entered through Squall's ears into his brain.
"Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!"
He made a strange sound while his eyes rolled back.
"Now... it's time to train."
(The time it takes for the brain to send an order to the body is less than two-tenths of a second.)
(In less than that time, Razel obstructed the communication from the body to the brain of his enemy.)
(In other words, the person momentarily lost control of their body and could neither send any sensation nor receive orders from the brain.)
"Eat this!"
Razel beat Squall severely at great speed.
(This was his new ability gained through pain.)
(God of speed.)
(Razel felt pain thanks to the electricity coursing through his body, but thanks to the damage of losing part of his body, it gave him the strength needed to suppress that pain.)
(The time was up.)
(It was time to do it again.)
Razel electrocuted Squall again.
And so it continued for several minutes.
Razel prevented his body from sending the accumulated damage to the brain, and it couldn't react in time.
Thirty minutes had passed.
Finally, Razel got tired of hitting him and let his brain receive the sensation of damage.
"Uh. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"
Squall screamed in pain from all the blows he had received, and that sensation was collected by his brain.
To make it more painful.
Razel had amplified the sensation of pain.
He didn't know how he did it, but he didn't care.
He slowly approached Squall, who was now drooling from all the damage received.
Razel placed his hands on his stomach and said.
"Taste my new final move. Electric impact!"
His right hand pulled back, shone brightly, and then struck his enemy's stomach very hard, and a great ray of light pierced through.
After a few seconds, Squall fell dead.
Now that everything was over, Razel went to where Lily was.
He sat down; she saw him, got on her knees, and then...
"Huh?"
Lily placed her lips on his mouth and intertwined her tongue with Razel's to become one.
She also hugged him.
Razel didn't understand what was happening, but he let himself go and hugged her too.
"Why was that?"
Asked Razel after cleaning the blood mixed with saliva from his mouth.
"That was my way of saying thank you. Razel-kun, I think I'm in love with you."
Lily looked at him with very moist eyes.
Meanwhile, Razel's mind.
(Huh? Wait, this can't be happening. There's a mistake, I...)
He showed that he wasn't processing what happened.
But, after a brief moment.
"I'm a poor, landless noble; does that work for you?"
Lily nodded.
"I don't care; I'm poor and never cared about wealth."
(This is wrong. She was supposed to get together with the capture targets.)
Lily approached Razel to heal him.
(She is certainly my type.)
Razel observed Lily, a girl of extreme beauty, long and silky blonde hair, bright eyes like sea stones, a slender figure, a firm butt, and very large breasts for her age.
(She was a work of art like Amy.)
(I desire a harem as it is my reward for helping save the world.)
A certain thought crossed Razel's mind.
(What if I take the protagonist for myself?)
A very terrifying one.
(I mean, she doesn't seem to interact with the capture targets. Worst of all, after this, I'll intensify my search to destroy the enemies. The real problem is the demon kings; I hope that without the power of love, the targets can defeat them.)
"Although you might not believe it, I'm ugly."
"Huh? Razel-kun, you say very strange things, you know?"
Lily took his hand.
"To me, you look like any other guy."
She smiled with her cheek still swollen.
He closed his eyes.
(Forgive me, world; I'm going to be very selfish. I hope this doesn't affect the salvation of the world.)
"If you want to be with me, you should know that having a legal wife is mandatory."
"I know."
Lily seemed a little sad saying it.
"Nobles have obligations; the nuns at the convent told me. That's why they told me that if a noble took me as his own, I would be his mistress. Believe me, I don't mind being one, as long as I'm by your side."
Razel hugged Lily; she did too.
"In that case, I'll make sure to make you happy."
"I hope so."
"It's going to be a real pain in the ass explaining what happened here."
"Hehe, I bet."
In the end, Razel had to tell that he was kidnapped along with Lily and say that the responsible party was Licht, a mysterious figure who didn't kill them because they weren't related to the Black Crows.
