Became an Academy Villain 43

Chapter 43 – 09. Being in a Swamp (4)

Something black is sliding forward little by little.
From a distance, it looked like a knight in heavy black armor, but what was inside the helmet was far more terrifying than anyone could imagine.

Procrastinate.
As ‘that’ gets closer and closer, the countless tentacles wriggling restlessly inside the helmet slowly come into view.

I closed my eyes tightly in a sense of displeasure as if my mental strength was being cut just by looking at it.

There is a saying that if you feel too much fear, you will rather not move as if your body is frozen.
If it were me in the past, I would have simply dismissed it as nonsense, saying, ‘Isn’t this a scene that only comes out of a movie?’

My limbs don’t listen to me at all, even though my head is ringing the alarm that I need to get away quickly.
My body was hardened as if it were frozen, and it wasn’t until the distance from ‘that’ was less than 30m that I was able to move little by little.

I just grabbed my trembling legs and started running with all my might in the opposite direction.
Fortunately, that demon has a narrow recognition range and it seems that the movement speed is not that fast.

Imagining a future in which I would have already become a piece of minced meat if I had recognized me a little sooner, I completely got out of the alleyway and ran to a distance where the demons could not even detect me.

“Huh, huh… Report, report.”

The invasion of demons into the academy’s residential area means that the detection barrier that can filter out monsters in advance has been completely neutralized.
According to the original story, it would take at least two more weeks for the incident to happen, but the pace of progress was much faster than expected.

Goryusin would still be in a state where he couldn’t fully draw out the power of the stigmata, and if so, then Ryushin would not be able to guarantee that he would deal with the demons.
The moment I took out my phone and urgently looked for an emergency contact number and made a call, I had no choice but to press the end call button again.

Seo Joo-ha is dangerous.

Assuming that the demon’s average movement speed is similar to what I’ve seen, there is a high probability that it is still wandering around the alleys near Seo Ju-ha’s house.

Even if she gets in touch and her demon annihilation unit is dispatched, if she gets caught up in her demon’s outbursts in the course of her battle…
It may lead to the worst outcome.

First of all, we have to keep the demons away from Zhou He.
This is by no means a selfish thought.

If you fight in a narrow alley, the awakened person can be at a considerable disadvantage, so it is an unchanging fact that even if you report it, you will eventually have to lure it out to the open.

Eventually I called the only person who could help in my current situation.
It’s something you can never do alone, but with two people you can still see some possibilities.

“Whoa… Really, even thinking about it makes me look like an idiot.”

To be honest, it’s like jumping into the middle of hell, but I feel like I’m calming down a bit now that I have a goal set.

I started slowly going back the way I had come.

* * *

The cold, heavy air had turned sticky.
The fishy smell of blood, as if someone had already been killed, carries through the air from the back of the alley.

“Oooh…”

While gagging, I looked at the entrance of the dark alleyway.
Undoubtedly, demons still exist in this place.

I stared at the flickering cell phone screen for a while due to the powerful magic power, and eventually, since there was no flashlight or anything, I cautiously stepped into the alley, relying only on the small light.

We still don’t know exactly what kind of abilities the demons have.
However, since the speed itself was not that fast, there was no doubt that it had some kind of long-range attack method.

From that point of view, confronting the demons head-on was unreasonable.
It’s good to lure them out, but I couldn’t throw away my life, so I had to act as carefully as possible and somehow find a way to bring the demons out.

At that time, I felt a presence from behind.

“A monster appeared?”

I hurriedly looked back to see if it was another monster, but God Goryu was standing there holding a sword.
Perhaps that sword is a hidden piece he got from the museum.

“There’s a demon in there. It’s dangerous if we leave it like this, so the first thing to do is to lure it outside.”

“Huu, you’re a demon after all…”

As soon as Ryu Xin felt the flow of air that had suddenly become heavy, it seemed as if he rushed over as soon as he received the call.
Perhaps his level is not up to the level where he can kill demons, but he still has his stigmata awakened and even has a sword, so he thinks he can fight to some extent.

“I’ll stand in front, so look behind you and follow me.”

Ryu Xinyi nodded his head instead of answering.

He has only taken a few more steps along the alleyway, and the scent of his blood has grown so strong that it feels like his nose is going to go numb.
And the moment I turned the corner and went inside, I couldn’t help but vomit at the sight that unfolded.

“Oooh… Gagging, hum.”

Bloodstains and flesh are scattered all over the place, and the dismembered human limbs are half-eaten, making it difficult to recognize their shape.
The scene of the murder he encountered for the first time in his life was so horrifying and brutal.

“Are you okay Jihoo?”

There’s no way it’ll be okay… Will it be.
My heart was beating wildly and my breathing was quickening, but somehow I managed to regain my senses and put the light on my phone a little deeper.

“There it is…”

A terrifying image of him pulling out a bundle of lingering tentacles from the inside of his head and ravenously pulverizing human flesh was shown, but fortunately he didn’t vomit.

Thank god. It’s not standing.
It was terribly selfish and narrow-minded, but it reassured me that the body didn’t look like a woman’s.

“I don’t think we can beat that thing even if we wake up from death on our own. The only way is to report it to the emergency contact network first and then lure it out little by little.”

“I can hold out for about 3 minutes, so quickly connect to the location, report it, and run away. I’ll fight moderately and then join you.”

Using Goryusin, who can deal with the demons, and dragging them out of the alley little by little, the troops dispatched after receiving a report wipe out the demons.
It was the most realistic decision I can think of now.

When I was about to go outside to make a report after deciding on a strategy, an unknown feeling of anxiety suddenly came over me.

I tried to shine the light on my phone again, just in case.
There was nothing in the place where the demons had been until just now.

“Run away quickly.”

“Huh? All of a sudden?”

“Escape for now…!”

It was a trap.

We hurriedly turned around and tried to get out of the alleyway, but we had just been focusing on the front, unaware of what was going on behind us.

Procrastinate.
A wall of blood-reddened tentacles blocked the entrance to the alleyway and was slowly approaching us.

“…First, I’ll cut it.”

Liu Xinyi swung his sword and tried to cut through the wall somehow, but in the end it wasn’t even scratched because it was repaired faster than it was cut.

The front is blocked, the wall is stained with unknown blood, and the back is a dead end.

Like this… Is it the end?
Don’t act like an idiot and just run away.

If I die here, what will happen in real life…?
Lastly, I want to see Juha’s face.

Ryu Xin dropped his sword on the floor and had a devastated expression on his face.
In order not to look at the disgusting flesh that was right in front of me, I closed my eyes and waited for the death to come.

You feel the sticky, thick tentacles touching your cheeks.
Perhaps it was intended to pierce the heart at once, the tentacles passed past the face and wriggled toward the chest.

At that moment, I felt something swallowing me from under my feet.
When I suddenly opened my eyes with a strange feeling as if my whole body was being sucked into a narrow hole, a silvery light filled my vision.

“Ah…”

“Jihoo, am I… Late? Sorry.”

A voice that was so familiar and so missed came to my ears.
