Hero Defeated by Evil 819

Chapter 819 – #6-37 Q: Who Am I (1)

* * *

A phone call came in late at night.

After receiving the call, I went out to the designated location outside the hideout as promised, and found Rahe waiting there.

“It’s been a while. How have you been?”

An underground space that was left half-collapsed after a battle between Rahe and Mer.

The only source of light was the moonlight shining from beyond the open ceiling and the flashlight of the smartphone in my hand, but even so, I was able to quickly recognize who the person standing in the distance belonged to.

As if reacting to No. 13’s friendly greeting, the person standing in front of me approached with a clicking sound.

Pure white uniform shirt and boots. A proud and dignified face.

Rahe, the leader of the 7th division.

That appearance is not that of the rookie villain we’ve been seeing for the past month, but a more familiar one… As a captain, he is giving off a great atmosphere.

That would be natural. What had happened so far was just acting? When I think about it, I can’t help but feel uncomfortable. The captain, who is flawless, seems so unconfident and often pessimistic… If it weren’t for acting, it couldn’t have happened.

If you think that way, Rahe must be a truly great actor. Because he was so deceived.

“You really came, No. 13.”

“That’s because Rahe called. “I also want to hear why I suddenly got hit by the wind.”

“… “Do you want to hear the reason?”

“I want to hear it, but first, let me prepare my mind. Depending on the content, my heart may break.”

If I get an answer like, “I don’t like sex with you,” I’ll be so sad. The shock is so great that I may never be able to stand up again. In fact, aren’t they saying that such cases often occur?

Let’s take a deep breath and wait for Rahe’s words with a nervous, pounding heart.

Suddenly, a clanging sound of metal was heard. Rahe pulled out his sword.

Moonlight shining from the ceiling. Rahe walks in under the moonlight. The pure white blade of her favorite rapier, held in her hand, reflects her light and sparkles.

“I am the hero, and you are the villain. … Do you need any other reasons?”

“… Really?”

“That’s right. And that is why, to fulfill my duty as a hero, I will kill you right here. “There will be no complaints, right?”

How can I not be dissatisfied with people saying they will kill me?

I have a lot of questions to ask Rahe. Where was she during that time, and what did she do during the two days she disappeared? What was she thinking while she was by his side, why did she come now… There are a lot of questions like this.

Ra He is a rational person, so I thought she would respond to her conversation to some extent.
However, as if mocking No. 13’s expectations, Rahe lowers her body and immediately begins to approach No. 13.

No. 13 can no longer remain calm in the face of Captain Lahe, who charges in with the force of a bird of prey.

He immediately threw the smartphone he was holding instead of a flashlight to the ground, and instead took out his familiar weapon, a ship’s chain anchor that had been shrunk to the point where he could hold and handle it with his hand, and wrapped it around his arm.

Jeaeaeang!!

The sword Rahe swung made a loud noise as it hit the long chain wrapped around his arm. Next, a flying kick. Avoid.

As if wary of a chain anchor, Rahe attacks mainly by stabbing. The only light source is the moonlight shining through the gaping hole above, and the light from the smartphone thrown next to it.

Even though I don’t have a clear view, I half rely on my senses to get the shot. The other half inevitably gets hit physically. There is enough magic power to revive, so it’s okay even if you take some damage.

But even so.

Even if you rely on 『Resurrection』, Rahe is not a soft opponent to the extent that you can do anything with just that.

Even if he is number 13 in his prime, he is a monster that it is not clear whether he can win if he fights from the front. Isn’t that Rahe?

Fortunately, she is not at her best yet for some reason, but if she attacks in earnest, No. 13 will be killed.

『――――――!!』

A pure white trail flies toward No. 13 several times. Each time, the chain anchor, which emits a dull light, responds, strikes, and swings as if to intercept.

Drops of blood occasionally spatter, but they all come from No. 13. Despite the desperate counterattack, Rahe still remained unscathed.

Rahe’s speed is not particularly fast. Her Rahe power was not very strong. The 『Body Strengthening』 She uses now is of very weak strength, not even close to what she used in spades.
Nevertheless, rather than responding properly, No. 13 is only busy stopping to avoid serious injury. Regardless of the absolute value of her physical strength or magical power, it is because of Rahe’s experience, skills, and talent.

Each and every trace of the sword is fatal, and a single attack forces two or three choices on this side, and what’s more, the well-trained and flawed technique continues to push No. 13.

In addition, compared to No. 13, each of her movements is large, Rahe, who handles her rapier, skillfully controls the trajectory of her sword and stabs No. 13’s weak points. As such, No. 13 had no choice but to continue to be cut and pushed.

If we use his abilities to borrow the skills of 『Hero』, We will be able to compete on equal footing, but it is impossible in his current state. If you use Asche’s ‘Scroll’, which you keep in your pocket just in case, you can regain your prime power for a moment, but it only lasts for about 30 seconds at most.

I once faced Rahe in his prime. However, at that time, 10 minutes were given thanks to the power of Future Ashe, and even Rahe was manipulated and was not in a proper condition. Thanks to that, we were able to narrowly secure victory as time ran out.

‘In 30 seconds… Of course, it won’t work.’

Moreover, once those 30 seconds are over, No. 13 will no longer be able to fight. So, you have to carefully decide the moment to use it… !

“Are you thinking about something else?”

“Tsk… !”

Because I was caught up in many thoughts, my reaction was delayed.

Rahe does not miss the opportunity and delivers a decisive blow. A quick stab aimed at No. 13’s neck.

Rahe’s sword flew straight through No. 13. About half of the sword body sticks out past his neck.

However, at the moment when Rahe’s sword pierced No. 13’s neck, the chain anchor held by No. 13 seemed to sway strangely and unfolded around the two of them.

In an instant, the unfolded chain comes closer, making a loud noise. The intention was clear. In this way, they are going to bind Rahe and himself with the chains and bind them.
No. 13’s reaction was not delayed because of an accident. I took advantage of this moment and deliberately created an opening. Even his life can be used as bait because he possesses a cheat-level ability called 『Resurrection』. In a reckless strategy premised on resurrection, Rahe also fell into the trap.

‘The knife… !’

The chains are rapidly wrapping around Rahe to restrain him. They have to escape immediately, but Rahe’s sword, which pierced No. 13’s neck, cannot be pulled out. When I looked up, I saw No. 13 grinning. Still conscious, he uses his last strength to prevent Rahe’s sword from being pulled out.

All of this happened in a single blink of an eye. And the chain, contrary to its heavy and dull appearance, is wrapped around very quickly.

Rahe had no choice but to make a decision quickly.

Wow!!

The anchor’s chain wrapped around No. 13’s body as if it were restraining it. But Rahe narrowly escaped for just that moment, and was able to escape before being restrained by the chains.

However, he let go of his sword to escape before being restrained. The sword still remains half-stuck in No. 13’s neck.

Rahe stretched out his hand toward the sword again, but the chained anchor swung loudly as if threatening Rahe.
Narrowly avoiding it, Rahe urgently retreated out of the range of the swinging anchor.

As Rahe widened the distance, No. 13 pulled out the sword stuck in his neck. It appears that the aorta had been cut, and as the sword was pulled out, blood spurted out loudly like a fountain.

His blood was flowing and for a while there was a sound of air escaping from his mouth, but soon the wounds on his body healed. Number 13 stumbles, but holds the sword of Rahe in one hand and the chain anchor in the other… I look at Rahe again.

“Khehe… Big… Pfft… It hurts… !”

His weapon was taken away. Rahe calmly checked the situation.

Number 13 threw the sword he had taken from Rahe away behind his back as if it was unnecessary. To quite a distance.

It seems like it will be difficult to retrieve that sword unless we break through No. 13.

“Should we continue? You’re not going to stop with just one sword being taken, right? “Isn’t this the main room from now on?”

Number 13 smiles belligerently. They are bluffing when they are clearly inferior. Rahe had been overwhelming him just a little while ago without using much of his magic.
If she uses her strength in earnest, the current petty villain No. 13 will be unable to do anything and will be crushed to death.

Rahe looked at No. 13 in silence, then raised one of his arms toward him. A faint golden light falls on that hand.

“【Bloom… Ice Flower】.”

Familiar chanting words. In response, a sword made of ice appeared in her hand.

――Does not appear.

“Hmm… ?”

Number 13 was puzzled. However, Rahe was not embarrassed and shouted the words of the chant once again.

“Bloom, flower of ice.”

“Bloom.”

“… Bloom.”

Say it over and over again. But that voice is getting smaller and smaller.

And despite the words of the chant, no change occurred. There is no ice sword created, no ice crystals shooting up from the ground targeting No. 13, and no surrounding area covered in cold and ice.

“… “I lost.”

Rahe repeated that for a long time.

Eventually, with his head down as if he had given up, he declared defeat.
