Chapter 84 - The Words I Remembered From My Teacher In Desperate Times
Well, leaving aside the demon king army commander business, I bowed down my head and whispered to Sheina.
「I said it before but can you quickly go call Rēko over?」
「Well, It doesn’t seem to be an enemy that I can compare with so I’ll do it but are you really okay with that, Lord Evil Dragon? You’re a body double right?」
「No, I’m not really a body double. I’m really the real Evil Dragon Revendia」
I made the most serious expression I could and corrected my posture.
It wasn’t just for show that I could survive through the recent battles. Even for someone like me, I gained some courage.
Luckily, it seems the opponent seems to be over evaluating my power.
My plan this time is to pretend to return to the Demon King Army and buy some time.
「So that’s why Sheina, go call Rēko. Don’t worry about a thing, I’ll be fine」
「Lord Evil Dragon, your legs are shaking severely, you know?」
「Please understand that this is overexcitement for the coming battle」
Sheina just looked at me with worry and doubt while scratching her cheek.
「In any case, in this situation, it would be hard for me to escape alone right? She probably won’t let me escape」
「That’s right!」
The “Weaver of something something” replied happily using the mannequin.
「If there’s no audience then I can’t keep my tension high right? Alright, Revendia. For starters, as a light warm up, it’s about time to release your magic power. As for me I’ll start manipulating just a small pinky」
As soon as she said that, the magic released from her increased rapidly.
This is just from using a small pinky finger, I could already feel the fear seeping into my skin.
I swallowed my saliva and made a stern voice.
「Wait」
「I don’t wanna, I’ve always wanted to have a go at you. You’re always being treated specially by skipping gatherings, I’ve always been a little pissed you know?」
「That has always been a misunderstanding. I have always been trusting you commanders and left the Demon King in your care」
「Eh?」
I was currently firing off all brain cells to create bullsh*t in order to convince her. I secretly glanced at Sheina without the opponent misunderstanding and signaled to her with a hand sign meaning “Go on”. Even if she’s young, as expected of a soldier, you can correctly understand the situation.
「Hey, what do you mean by that? You’re saying you didn’t look down on us?」
「Of course not. In fact, I thought highly of you youngsters so I could feel relieved without attending. Especially you… uhh weaver girl, I’ve heard you’re very amazing from the Demon King. Recently I’ve gotten too old and lost my energy. If you want, I believe that the you right now is fitting of the Demon King’s Army number 2」
「…Hmmm」
The magic emitting from the mannequin dropped a bit. However from the tone of voice coming from over the mannequin, she didn’t seem too displeased with hearing this.
「Then, what part about me do you think is amazing?」
The sharp words that returned were sharper than I thought they would be. The controlled handsome mannequin then sat down and waited for my answer.
「Ehh… Firstly, as expected you’re really strong! No matter how many average demons you assemble, they’ll be no match for you」
「That’s such a cliche! You could say that to anyone who looked a little sharp. Isn’t there something amazing from the perspective of the invincible Evil Dragon that you could say?」
「Tha-that’s right, just hold on for bit」
「Within 5 seconds okay? one, two, three…」
「Yes! I remember now! I think that manipulating something from far away is extremely dexterous!」
「Too weak! isn’t there a compliment that digs right into your heart?」
「I think that merciless part about you is very befitting of a cruel demon!」
「Not bad!」
As my brain was working overtime for ideas on compliments, I turned to Sheina and spoke with my eyes.
Leave this place to me, said my eyes.
If it’s now, the weaver girl is fully concentrating on our conversation, so she won’t see you.
I wonder why but Sheina looked at me with a flabbergasted expression but nodded and turned to leave, however at that moment.
「Okay, It’s prohibited to leave the stage you know?」
With a casual wave of the mannequin’s hand, a shockwave ripped through the earth in a straight line. The wav stopped just before Sheina as a warning to say that a step further and you’ll be struck down.
I’ve underestimated her. She’s like Rēko in terms of riding along the mood, but as expected, it’s not so simple convincing a demon.
「Lord Evil Dragon, as expected, will this turn into a fight? I don’t think we can win though…」
Sheina started to gather her magic but compared to her enemy, it couldn’t be comparable.
At this rate, if she challenges the opponent, it’ll only increase the casualties.
「Sheina, stand behind my back. I actually have one final secret plan.」
Although Sheina tilted her neck worriedly, seeing how there aren’t any other ways, she quickly hid behind me.
And then I glared at the enemy mannequin menacingly… then I gradually lowered my mouth to rip out some grass from around my feet.
—That’s right Mr.Lizard, rip it out starting from deep within the roots!
—That’s wrong! Much faster, more quantity! Dig it up like you’re exterminating it!
—You must show no mercy! Wild grass are the nemesis of farm crops, If you don’t take proper care, they’ll influence the harvest!
The teaching of the Saintess flashed through my head.
The little amount of magic I could produce from the practise match with Rēko. That was the result of the Saintess version of misdeeds which lead to producing Evil Dragon power, in that case i’ll pile more misdeeds on top.
I steeled my heart and tore through the grass like no tomorrow.
「…What the hell are you doing Revendia…?」
Even the enemy is shivering in fear at my evil dragon-like misconducts.
「Fuh, I’m almost ready to reveal my true power. How is it? I’ll still give you a chance to run away right now.」
「Sorry, I have no idea what you’re talking about but it pisses me off so i’m going to start fighting.」
I wonder what sort of thing I did to deserve this. Ms. Weaver used magic to stand the mannequin up and fired off a shockwave just like the one before.
「Ahhhhh! Wait!! I still haven’t prepared my heart for this yet-!!!」
Sheina already took evasive measures like a fleeing rabbit but I on the other hand stood motionless with fear.
Everything slowed down as the shockwave approached me.
This is that moment before death where my life flashes before my eyes. Everything that I did in the past, to be honest flashing back 5000 years of history is honestly killing me.
I was swallowed up by the slow motion shockwave from the front.
