How to Play a Villainous Boss 102

Chapter 102 – Breath!! Avoid!! (2)

[Kuaaaaa!!]

The immortal dragon, who had finally been incapacitated by the resurrection spell that the warrior had shouted like a ghost, raised its body again with a roar of rage. No, wait… The emotion that comes out of that deafening roar is more anger… Pain? That invincible monster, who fell down thousands of times while fighting Selena and got up again, is in pain?

I looked up at the immortal dragon that had risen. I knew it. The reason why the immortal dragon rose so early after being put to death by Luke’s blow was, after all, a trick from the other side. Dozens of chains of lightning from a gigantic thundercloud that seemed to fill the entire sky forced the immortal dragon, whose whole body was in tatters, to rise. As if pulling a thread and forcibly raising a broken puppet.

An immortal dragon is, of course, a monster that comes back to life after dying, but that doesn’t mean it’s an invincible creature that doesn’t feel pain. When his body reaches its limit, that is, when it reaches the brink of ‘death’, it enters a state of rest. And in this state of rest, his body becomes invulnerable to any attack, and his body regeneration, which is otherwise disgustingly fast, accelerates dozens of times, regenerating as if all wounds were gone in a few minutes. Only after the body returns to its full state does the state of rest come to an end, and the immortal dragon reawakens from death.

In other words, strictly speaking, immortal dragons do not survive even after they die… Let’s take a game as an example to explain.

No matter what you do, your stamina will not fall below 1, and once your stamina reaches 1, you will not be harmed by any means, as if you used the invincible hourglass of the parent game, and you will quickly recover your HP and recover all your health. When the invincible state is released… You can see it.

However, there is no way that a transcendental person who is not a god in this world could understand all the detailed mechanisms, and with the feeling of ‘it won’t matter because he doesn’t die anyway’, he forcibly awakens the immortal dragon from his invulnerable state and makes him fight again.

“Damn it.”

The immortal dragon is already in a dying state, but because of that chain of lightning, even if he wants to rest, he can’t rest and has to fight again. Even if the immortal dragon refused to fight us, nothing would change. His body is structured to create hostile monsters when injured, so even if he resists, monsters born from the wounds caused by the chain of lightning are created.

In the end, in order to neutralize the immortal dragon, it is necessary to break the chain of lightning first. In other words… You have to fight the god of another world who wants to ruin this world.

“Selena. Can you fight the immortal dragon alone for 10 minutes?”

“What? Then what are you and Jae doing in the meantime… No way? No?”

This is why Selena is easy to deal with. Thanks to the first hero’s unique sensitive sense and seasoned experience, I noticed without having to explain it hard.

“I have a hard time dealing proper damage to the Immortal Dragon itself, and Luke, that guy just has no answers. So, out of these three, you’re the only one who can actually deal with the Immortal Dragon. I will get rid of that that controls the dragons of .”

“…Can you do it alone?”

I answered while grabbing the back of Luke’s neck.

“I’m not going alone.”

“Now, wait…!”

After saying that, I left Selena to take care of her back and took Luke with me. Gathering the ‘black army’ and making it into a foothold and bridge, he jumped on it and ran to the dark clouds floating above the immortal dragon’s head. Of course, no matter how thoughtless that side was, there was no way they wouldn’t show any movement when they were openly attacking from our side like this.

-Kurrureung..!

Just in case. A terrifying flash of lightning began to gather through the clouds, accompanied by a loud thunder. From that appearance, I had a premonition that the attack I had hit earlier was about to come flying. While I was on my way to the Kingdom of Elheim to stop Violence’s sudden action, while I was away from my subordinates, the attack that shot me down riding a monster.

An attack that is not bound by the rules of this world, which could not be received with the fraudulent ability called ‘Darkness’, which makes it immune to all damage other than divine power.

I can’t stop that lightning My powers follow the rules of this world, but that attack doesn’t. And avoidance is, of course, impossible. With common sense, how can a human avoid it after checking the direction and trajectory of lightning falling from the sky? Of course, Selena, that woman might be able to do it…But not me. I am neither a seasoned warrior, nor a wise sage, nor a pious believer. I’m just an actor who plays all the roles assigned to me.

And my role is Baron Ragnar Armageddon. She is a selfish human who only acts for what she wants, and a villain who uses whatever means she can use without hesitation.

“Biggie! Friend Shield!”

“What is that… Aaaaa!”

Right before the undefendable lightning attack was launched, at the moment when the part where the electric shocks were gathered swelled with a deafening roar, I put my hand holding Luke forward and used his body as a shield. Immediately after that, the wrath of the gods fired from the palace in the sky descended on the two of us.

-Quarrrr! Kwagwagwang!

A lightning bolt fired with tremendous momentum, as if splitting the world in half. It possessed terrifying power that could turn quite a few things into black ashes in an instant. But…

“Hey, are you alive?”

“Khhhhh…! Ra, Ragnar Armageddon, you…! This light… Will definitely repay you…!”

“Okay. I hope he doesn’t die.”

I didn’t pick and get hit and run out like before.

A terrifying electric shock that does not descend vertically from top to bottom but flies like a beam of light in the desired direction. That attack belongs to a transcendental being who is not bound by the rules of this world. However, it is not only his strength that is not bound by the rules of this world.

The reason why Luke is alive without being killed even after being hit and dropped by the immortal dragon’s attack is because of this thick divine power that he can’t catch up and exudes grass all over his body. To be precise, it was the divine power of a god other than Luminus, the goddess of light.

When the immortal dragon woke up, it suddenly disappeared and fell from the sky, so it seems that something happened over there, but unfortunately I have no way of knowing. But one thing is for sure, the divine power overflowing in his body is not from the goddess Luminous. That is, like that lightning, it means the power to defy the rules of this world.

The blue lightning fired from the thundercloud collided with the other god’s powers worn by Luke, whom I put up as my shield, and canceled each other out. Of course, it’s painful to have my hands burned while holding Luke, but it’s better than being hit by that electric shock again and going straight to the brink of death.

“As you can see from the direct hit, that blue lightning isn’t an ordinary attack. I can’t block or avoid that attack, so you’ll have to hit it instead.”

“You…! Could that be why you brought me here?!”

“Don’t scream so loudly. It’s not enough to be thanked for making the most of a hero who can’t play his role properly.”

Yes, Luke is a shield. A human shield to face the attack of the god who is trying to ruin this world in my place.

“To stop the immortal dragon, you must go inside the cloud and defeat the culprit. And to do that, I must get there. Now you know what to do, bodyguard?”

“…I really don’t like it from one to ten. But…”

Srrrr. The Holy Sword – Unicor radiated light from Luke’s hand, and soon its appearance changed. A sharp sword to pierce the enemy’s weakness, now became a shield to protect the body from enemy attacks.

“I can’t quit just because I don’t like it.”

“I know.”

Throwing a golden cross and shield forward, Luke ran ahead of the path I had made, and I followed him. Even after the first attack, there were several lightning strikes, including one that was several times thicker than the first one, the trajectory suddenly bent in the middle of the attack, aiming at me from behind, or just before it hit the shield, it split into dozens of attacks that flew at me. There were, but I was safe from all those threats. It was thanks to the shield that Luke put up, and the armor that transformed into a holy sword, like a magnet attracting a lump of metal, attracted all the attacks pouring down on me to himself and received it.

It’s a hero’s skill that wasn’t in the script, but I didn’t bother to bite that point. Selena must have taught you. Initially, Selena was only mentioned in the setting, and her resurrection was not in the script. So her skills weren’t particularly organized, so it wouldn’t be surprising if she passed on one of those many unknown skills to Luke.

“Okay, the destination soon.”

Luke moved dynamically like a living snake and deflected the 14th attack that continued to charge, and finally we reached the thundercloud that controls the demon dragon.

*

[Damn it…! There is nothing from one to ten!]

By the time Luke and Ragnar Armageddon reached the end of the thundercloud, the culprit behind this incident at the center of the thundercloud poured out all sorts of nasty curse words and stamped his feet nervously. Every time his foot hit the floor, blue sparks were scattered in all directions, crackling and menacingly.

[Do it in moderation, and move as I tell you! Why don’t you know that resistance is meaningless!]

Raikirin, the god of thunder, lightning, and thunder, shouted menacingly with a growl, but the person kneeling in front of him with his arms and legs restrained by a chain of lightning, the appearance of a young human with an androgynous appearance that was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman. One giggled and sneered and shrugged.

[You really don’t know how to deal with people. Do you think just raising your voice like that will make everything work out the way you want?]

[Shut up!!]

Quarreureung! Rai Kirin roared and yanked his right hand that gripped his chain, and an intense electric shock struck the young being. It was such a strong shock that even a seasoned warrior would instantly burn their minds to pure white, but within a moment, that being suffered, as before, with a sneering sneer at him at the corner of his mouth.

[Kuh-kuh-kuh, I’m tickled to death. If you were going to move as I was told to give you a massage with electricity like that, you would have done it a long time ago.]

[I would have told you to shut up!!]

Pajijijijik!

At the painful electric shock that wrapped around his body once again, burning everything from the inside out, the young being shook his head, wiped away the tears from his eyes, and smiled effortlessly.

[…Under. I feel so sorry for your creatures that I can’t stop crying. My Creator is frustrating, but even nice, you… It’s rude to even compare.]

[Dare to speak of an insignificant creature…!]

[I think I’ve already said that over 20 times. Can a nobleman called God be used without such creativity?]

Dismissed! Paperweight! Pajijijijijik!

[By the way, can you afford to be like this? Sooner or later, those two humans will reach here? Wouldn’t it be better to put me back in my own body and deal with those two people first?]

[Under! Do you think I won’t be able to handle even those two small creatures while dealing with you?]

[Yes.]

Quarreung! Pajik, Pajijikjik!

[…Cee. Are you annoyed by Ji’s question? If that’s the case, why don’t you ask me in the first place.]

The young being, the immortal dragon personality, never let go of its tail, even as it suffered from the constant electric shocks it gave itself. No, on the contrary, I only encouraged him by choosing words that would make the other person angry. Because he had an unexpected opportunity coming, and he needed to wait for it.

A familiar aura that is gradually approaching this side.

In order for them to get any closer, the immortal dragon deliberately provoked Raikirin to prevent him from concentrating. Every time that happened, the terrible pain that shook his body returned, but the immortal dragon was fine.

Because I’m used to the pain.

*

Quarreureung! Kwakwawang!

“Hey, there’s not much fuss.”

“Is this the time to leisurely say such things?!”

Upon entering the thundercloud, exclamations came out spontaneously at the splendid feast of lightning pouring down from all sides. At my relaxed sentiment, Luke, who became impatient, automatically raised his voice.

Inside the dark clouds, I don’t know if I should say it’s natural, but from the floor to the walls and ceiling, everything was made of clouds. Is it natural because it’s inside the clouds? But standing on the cloud with your feet or touching it with your hands is not at all natural. Common sense makes it impossible to touch a cloud as if it were a solid, but the impossible is happening. I knew that the power of the gods disregarded the rules, but was this enough? The common sense I knew was shaken, but I couldn’t afford to do that for long.

As soon as they entered the cloud, the attack became more intense and sophisticated. It wasn’t just lightning flying from a distance, but flowing through walls, floors, and ceilings to electrocute them, or electrical barriers blocking the way.

Even if it came through a wall, Luke’s shield was able to absorb the impact, but that electric barrier is a bit of a headache. It is said that Luke’s shield responds to ‘attacks made to allies’ instead, but that barrier is not an attack towards allies, but rather an obstacle that damages opponents who approach it, so it seems that the damage cannot be passed on.

When the electrically blocked barrier appeared, we turned around, blocked the lightning attack from all sides with the Friend Shield, and moved deep into the depths. Luke was in rather poor condition because he was struck by lightning thousands of times instead of being hit once in his life, but even so, thanks to the divine power alleviating all the damage, he was just a little tired, but there was no damage to his life.

…But wait, what should I do with the kid now?

I’ll have to go through the scenario again after putting the immortal dragon to sleep, but can I really deal with this guy? Because of receiving the divine power of another god from somewhere, from my point of view, the current Luke was no different from a hedgehog with fatal poison on all its thorns. My own combat power is still poor, but my weakness, divine power, has become so strong that it is difficult for me to deal with him properly, even if others don’t know.

Even though Luke is receiving lightning strikes instead of me, the reason why my body is not in perfect condition is because of that disgustingly thick holy power that Luke exudes from his whole body.

What about this If this happens, I don’t know if the play will go on well even after I get rid of this troublesome obstruction.

“…Uh?”

At that time, I felt someone’s gaze. Feeling terrified at the tenacious gaze that scattered her entire body from head to toe, for a moment, began to react to the fragments of chaos hanging around her neck.

“This, what the hell…!”

And it didn’t just happen to me. Just as the fragments of chaos I threaded into a necklace were reacting, the other three fragments of chaos in Luke’s arms were also reacting intensely. Something… That time when I was thinking about what to do with vague anxiety that something might happen.

Dududuk!

An invisible force began to pull me. To be precise, the fragments I had and the fragments Luke had.

Three shrapnel came out of Luke’s arms, followed by a shrapnel hanging from my neck that broke the rope and flew away. As soon as we tried to hold it in the air again, Luke and I felt that our bodies were getting heavy, as if being crushed by a giant’s hand.

“…Damn!”

It was only after the mysterious power disappeared that Luke and I hurriedly ran in the direction where the fragments of chaos had flown. Without noticing that all sorts of lightning attacks that had been pouring down on us had stopped before we knew it, we ran frantically and arrived at a large hollow. There… Was the one we had been waiting for.

[Damn it, what is this…! How can such a power be given to a single creature…!]

[Geez, isn’t the fucking mouth full?]

A boy or a girl with wings larger than his body spread wide behind his back.

A white-haired man with a ferocious look who tried to restrain that being with chains of blue lightning.

I quickly realized that the culprit behind this incident was Raikirin, the god of lightning who, together with Hel, the goddess of hell, was carrying out a plan to ruin Luminus’s play, the goddess of light.

[I am a God! To say that a lowly and insignificant creature like you is not something I dare to look down on…]

Kwajik.

[What are you saying, idiot.]

…And the fact that I had been struggling with a self-proclaimed god who was squashed on the floor with an unsightly squealing sound, crushed by the wing of an unknown being, was the most embarrassing thing in the world.

God… You’re a weakling?
