◈ Reincarnated as the Villain's Heir

Chapter 7: Garbage Brother, Thanks for Giving Me Targets to Test the Magic Sword On

──────

When we left the shrine, more monsters than I had expected were gathered outside.

At a rough glance, there were over twenty of them. Could these be every monster Gillium had on hand?

Most were demon-type or beast-type monsters, and every one of them was the kind that appeared just after the early game ended.

Gillium was ten years old, but for his age, he had collected some fairly strong monsters.

I supposed he was still the second son of House Balfont, rotten as he was.

Even so, did he hate me that much? Was it really worth going this far?

"Gegegeh! He came out, he came out! The brat who defied Lord Gillium!"

"Hey! I'm taking Luchel! I want to hear that cocky angel race girl scream up close!"

All of them had been placed under Gillium's control through the tame skill.

They had come to swear loyalty to Gillium from the heart.

When I thought about it that way, the RPG system where you made monsters into allies was pretty brutal.

Luchel's heart had not been controlled, but she had probably still been in a state where she basically could not defy him.

Otherwise, she could have escaped any time she wanted.

"Gillium ordered you to kill us, didn't he?"

"Lord Gillium says he really can't stand you. Don't take it personally, yeah?"

The monster laughing, hee-hee-hee, sounded very confident.

Well, if they were only early-game small fry, I supposed it could not be helped that they could not see the gap in our strength.

"Hey, what's that sword the brat is carrying? It isn't the same one Lord Gillium has."

"It's probably nothing special. Pretty shabby as a souvenir for Lord Gillium, but oh well."

They sure spoke fluently while insulting me.

As if lower-class monsters like them could understand the value of a magic sword.

"Lord Alphys, please leave this to me. I will put an arrow through that ugly pig demon's skull."

"Wait. I will fight too. I was just thinking I wanted to test this magic sword."

Unlike two months ago, Luchel had gained plenty of strength and confidence.

As expected from her potential, she had grown at an incredible pace.

She really might wipe them all out by herself.

"Hey! Luchel! What did you say?! What did you just call me?!"

"Are your ears bad too, not just your head? I called you an ugly pig demon, moron."

"You little! I'll mash you up and present you to Lord Gillium!"

The pig demon, or rather the Devil Orc, charged at us.

A Devil Orc had decent durability and was a troublesome opponent.

On top of that, it could use attack magic, so most people would struggle the first time they encountered one.

If they were the protagonist, anyway.

"Lightning Arrow!"

"Bugooh!"

Luchel's arrow of light pierced the Devil Orc's head.

Light attribute was its weakness, so an instant death was only natural.

The monsters stirred when they saw the Devil Orc collapse with a thud.

"L-Luchel did that? No way. Gyaah!"

"If you're going to panic and discuss running away, you should do it at the start, weaklings."

As expected of Luchel. She followed up without giving the shaken enemy a moment to breathe and took down another one.

Being able to fly leisurely on her wings and shoot enemies down was simply strong.

That was an advantage I did not have.

"Damn it! Shoot her down with magic!"

"Hey, hey. At least pay some attention to me."

"Ga, ah...!"

When I swung the magic sword, the monster there vanished as if erased by darkness.

The feel of cutting, or rather the lack of any resistance, was almost scary.

Just as I was getting a little full of myself, something began puffing out of the magic sword.

"How does it feel to use me?"

"You're so strong it almost does not feel real. You fit my hand too well."

The one who appeared as if it were perfectly natural was the demon god dwelling in Disbaleid.

She was a black-haired girl with animal ears wearing a kimono, and normally, she spoke arrogantly because she wanted to show off her dignity.

When a battle started, she fought in this form, but despite her appearance, she was insanely strong.

"That is good to hear. It seems you and I are more compatible than I imagined. By the way, is there nothing you wish to ask?"

"Mostly that you are distracting and noisy, so please go back inside."

"How cold. I will have you know my power is not limited to this. Do not forget that it is merely being restrained to match your current ability."

"I know."

The magic sword was quite talkative, but its power was real.

The surging dark mana gave me strength.

Yes, this sword's effect was to dramatically increase the effect of dark attribute attacks.

Even when I had played the game, I had vaguely thought this would be strong if Alphys had it.

To think that would come true in a form like this was almost like a dream.

"Hey! They're killing us one after another! We can't win! Run..."

"No need to rush so much. Curse."

I cast the dark magic Curse on the monster that chose to flee.

The curse effect could cause all kinds of results, but this time, it seemed the monster's body had stiffened and stopped moving.

"I-I can't... move..."

"How does the magic I just learned taste? You are perfect."

"Perfect... for what...?"

"A souvenir for Gillium. You are ugly, but if I bring him even one severed head, even that idiot should understand."

"Hii! P-please stop! I was wrong! I was wro-"

I cut off its head and sent it rolling across the ground.

"This is bad! We're going to be killed!"

"Nobody told us about this!"

"Lord Gillium!"

The monsters all began fleeing at once, and I started pursuing them.

With my dark mana fully released, I swung once.

"Gehah!"

"Ugah..."

"Too... strong..."

The monsters were split cleanly in half sideways by the magic sword.

This power was on a completely different level from before I had obtained it.

I could understand why some people drowned in the magic sword's power.

"No way! Why are we losing to a mere human?!"

"Who are you calling mere?"

Luchel pierced them from behind one after another from the sky.

She clearly did not intend to let even one escape.

"Calling Lord Alphys mere? I can't forgive that! What do you mean, mere?!"

"Hey, Luchel. Keep it in moderation."

"What do you mean, mere?! Moron! Weakling!"

"...She is not listening."

This was scary. Had her true nature already started showing?

Without listening to a single plea for mercy, Luchel shot down every last monster.

"L-Luchel! I was wrong! I will serve under you, so, gogoh..."

"Did you say something?"

Luchel finished off the last one.

Her flapping wings danced in the sky, and if anything, she looked more like a demon.

Hmm. I really had picked up something good.
