Chapter 109 109 A shitty killer

[El's POV: ]

"El~! Do you know how scared I was when everyone vanished? You know how absurd questions those people were asking! Do you know how weird it is to just throw everyone in this weird place with this weird vibe and tell them to fight the monsters and each other?!

Those people taking these tests are scary and bad! I didn't even want to fight others!"

She was in a worse state than I thought she would be. My poor dear Nes..

"It's alright, Nes. It's all just a test. And these tests have been the same for everyone for a very long time so it's not even in the hands of the one who would grade us.

It's how things work here, just like how the strong or special creatures rule in a forest but are still always a part of nature and bound by natural restrictions.

You understand we could only do our best, right? There's nothing greater to this little thing."

It was difficult to calm her down since she was crying while tightly hugging me, and yes I looooooooved this, but there was no need for her to waste her precious tears on a trivial matter like this.

"Oh. Looks like you are someone close to Miss Agnes."

A typical calm voice with anger, lust, and animosity hidden deep within it, sharp blue eyes that were observing even the simplest of my movements, fine but not too attractive clothes like that of someone from the upper class, and two short swords hanging on his waist. He was a typical side villain of his entrance exam arc.

"Uhun. Uhun. Yes.. El is my friend."

I was going to answer that bastard with a few curses of my own but Nes spoke up even while crying, calling me her 'friend' with emotions that expressed a far more intimate relationship than the 'friendship' that people usually knew about.

'Well, we were inseparable at this point and since we had already slept together and knew how each other tasted, it wasn't wrong to say we were a family.'

And she calls Lucy big brother too so, she was my sister. A cute lovely pretty hot sister that I would love nothing more than.. ugh!

'We all can do many hot things if only that bastard ever agrees! Still, if I really want to make him go against his own ironclad rules, I will need a lot more wishes than him, fuck!'

It wasn't possible anytime soon, perhaps it will never be possible. That shitty bastard.

'I will have to be satisfied with doing just the civil things.. fucking shitty bastard!'

"Oh? Your friend? Looks like you two are very close friends then."

"Yes.."

She was still crying in my arms and this bastard was having some weird thoughts, thinking Nes and I had a relationship involving love or at least sexual intimacy.. which I wouldn't mind having, but it sadly wasn't the case, tsk.

'Just look at him licking his lips. Bastard's already on the train of imagination.'

He must be thinking how if Nes and I were lovers, he would have a chance to fuck two gorgeous hotties at once. Pieceofshit doesn't know he's gonna die in a few moments.

"How lovely~. Hello, pretty lady. I'm Eggy. It is an honor to meet you."

"Don't sully the name of a divine thing like Eggs you fucker."

"Hmmm? Apologies? I didn't catch that."

"I said hello."

Hugging Nes tighter than before, I smiled 'warmly' at the bastard who dared sully the name of a divine object. He deserved such a painful death that even the gods would fear the process.

"El?"

Nes knew something was wrong from the way I was holding her tightly but I smiled at her in the usual way so she at least grasped that something was wrong and she had to follow my lead from now on. The opponent was no normal person.

'A fucker that had made a contract with someone who had a direct contract with a demon, aka tool of a shitty demon's tool.'

But unlike the normal ones who are scammed into accepting that power, this bastard did so willingly, and not just because of the power, but because of the thrill of possessing that power, well fuck.

"How did you meet this person Nes? Is he someone that helped you or something?"

"U-ummm. Yes. He helped me when a few people were attacking me together.

He stopped them and taught them how they could get more points by just defeating someone with no points multiple times.

They all even thanked him for the great advice."

And then he must have sent them off with his shitty underhanded techniques. Coward.

"Oh? Can we do that? I should have known it was possible. This explains how all those top people have such high scores~."

"Right? I also didn't know at first but then I saw someone do this kind of thing and then they continued onwards and gathered more and more points. Hahaha."

'Look at this bastard, lol. No shit Nes fell for his tricks.'

It was certainly true that one can get a hundred points more than one time from a single player but it was limited to a thousand points and even that had to be under certain conditions or else it wouldn't work.

It was a difficult thing and someone could do that even with the monsters present here and Rex was doing just that to get that many points.

Cathy was helping him too so the speed and efficiency were twice as fast as what he should have had if he had been doing the thing alone.

And here was this bastard, spouting nonsense like getting unlimited points just like that. Dogshit braindead psycho.

"Hahaha. Nice nice. So is that how you are ranked the fifth, mister? It's certainly amazing."

Shit bastard.

'He would have been sent off by Ras or someone else had he just continued what he was doing but he tried scamming my Nes of all the things in this labyrinth.. bastard has signed the death agreement while being sober.'

"Hmm? Fifth rank? But isn't he-"

-Clank..!

"No, no mister. Bad manners."

There were demonic humans in this world, the people who formed a contract with a demon. And then there were human bastards who had made a contract with the demonic humans, gaining the power to use their power indirectly.

They were humans but still, they could use demonic powers, which meant they could use the abilities of that demon indirectly. Just like what he was doing right now..

-Clung!

"Who are you?"

His eyes had turned dark red, not black like the demonic humans but red, a shitty red far, far different from my pure one.

"Your death, bastard. You made a terrible mistake."

As soon as I mentioned his original rank, which belonged to someone named Natalian on the ranking boards, he quickly attacked me with his short swords.

And Nes watched as I hid her behind me and blocked the bastard with my mana shield.

"El?! What-"

"He's a bad person dear. Do you see those red eyes and that strange Aura? He has killed many people and is connected to a demon."

"Demon?! But-..!"

"Yes you couldn't sense anything, I understand. It was because of his unique ability to mask his true status window, emotions, and intentions. A rather shitty ability."

-Clank!

-Ooooooooong!

-Booooooom! The initial posting of this chapter occurred via n(0))vel(b)(j)(n).

He threw his short sword at me after covering it in a dark Mana, which felt kind of 'polluted'.. Mana mixed with demonic energy.

And this mix was unstable so as soon as it collided with my counterattack of pure Mana, it created a strange explosion of darker energy.

The bastard was showing his true colors now... not that it mattered.

His death was confirmed anyway.
