2nd Round Villain

17 – Villain from Back in Time – 1

Black clubs fall like thunder.

It is a stick much like the one the Celts always wore around their waists.

Whoa-!

Uh, but why is it falling on me?

I don’t know what it is, but I don’t like meaningless pain, so I ducked to avoid the club.

The sound of the heavy wind brushed over the top of my head.

Wow, a chill went down my spine in an instant. I thought it would be difficult to preserve my life the moment I got hit by that stick.

“You bastard!”

A childish cry pierced my ears. it’s a young voice Vocal cords of a boy who has not yet gone through puberty.

The stick aimed at me nonstop. Of course, I had no intention of accepting it, so I evaded it by moving my waist.

Whoa-! Whoo-!

However, you can’t just run away forever like this. The choking breath was proof of that.

When I raised my head, I saw the face and skeleton of the man with the club. Surprisingly, it was a demon I knew well.

My second older brother, Leonard Lucifer. The bastard who terribly bullied and despised me when I was young. The guy who ate cheap rice.

But why am I being attacked by that guy? Looking at her appearance, she looks like a little over 10 years old, but why is her eye level similar to mine?

I must have died facing the saintess at the guillotine in the Imperial Square… .

… … .

ah! What a dream!

Or, a kaleidoscope that illuminates life in front of death? Anything! A space that is only an illusion anyway! I’m going to take this opportunity to beat my enemies!

“Aww! Why are you not getting along?”

Leonard lets out a grunting noise. His excited movements grow louder and louder.

but is it weird? Can you move freely like this when you’re in a kaleidoscope? I’ve never died, so I don’t know.

Well, it’s a dream-like time that doesn’t know when it will disappear, but that doesn’t matter. For now, let’s take revenge that we couldn’t do in the past.

“You can’t avoid this!”

Whoa-!

Leonard, who raised the club excessively, tried to strike it down at once. Finally, it’s a perfect posture to counterattack.

I lightly raise my fist and try to blow it in a straight line.

“Eh?”

Unexpectedly, my hands are heavy, so I lower my sight, and a club is also held in my hand. It was the same club, the same color and weight as the one he was holding.

Rather good. The timing was a bit delayed, but his big movements hadn’t stopped yet.

Infusing a little more strength into his arms, he lifted the club as if exerting centrifugal force.

The target is the guy’s chin.

Like an uppercut, it raises the guy’s chin and shakes his brain. After drawing that much in my head, I immediately put it into action.

Pot-!

“… ! This, this guy is attacking… !”

didn’t fit

Why? The distance was perfect, the guy’s movements were hesitant, and he attacked the loophole without a single error?

The distance was over just before I touched the guy’s chin. I can’t reach it even if I extend my arm as far as I can.

Richie is awkward.

puck-!

“Ugh!”

“hahahaha! You guys are like that! After all, it was all luck that I avoided it!”

My balance was shaken as the attack missed, and in the meantime, the club he wielded struck me at the top of my head. The pain of being beaten after a long time hit the top of my head. Write, is this too spicy? is it a dream?

Of course, I’m not lax enough to expose loopholes during battle. Wasn’t I even the one who had the experience of being beaten by the demon king for 1 hour and 25 minutes. I don’t cower just because of the pain in my head.

It’s easy to see why the arms are short. Since it was a kaleidoscope, my body must have gotten younger to match those days. This time, you just need to go two cheeks deeper and swing the stick.

hook-!

“This guy still hasn’t given up… !”

Leonard was right at the beginning of true fighting. Just because I hit him once, as if I had hit him with a shotgun, I was arrogant and careless.

It’s just fine for me.

Quick-!

“… !”

After briefly pulling the club, he threw it hard. The philtrum of the guy hit by the tip of the club rippled like a wave.

Even if it’s just one hit, you have to hit it properly like this.

It’s not like I’ll be foolish enough to be vigilant like that guy.

The guy staggered greatly with a single blow. I don’t miss that gap

puck! Perk-! Wow!

“evil! Cuckoo! Queue!”

He beat all over the place as if he was catching Cerberus on the day of the ox. I hit a vital part, and I also focused on the part where I felt a lot of pain.

Furbuck! Baka-! puck!

“Ah! Wow! stop that! surrender! surrender!”

surrender? Why do you bring up sounds like surrender in a fight?

At the age of about 10, when we fight with clubs, it means that we are sparring. Of course, in Dalian, surrender decides victory or defeat. But this is a dream! A place where there is no back and forth, even if I do what I want!

It means that it is no different from the heaven that God has prepared for me!

Barbababak-!

“Ouch! Ah, it hurts! It hurts!”

“Ooh, good. If I had known it would be like this, I would have died a long time ago. I’ll give you all the revenge you’ve never done before in your life.”

He hit the guy, who was lying on the floor with his head still, evenly from the tips of his toes to the top of his head. They beat with a sense of rhythm to the extent that they were able to dance dazzlingly to the sound of the beating.

In the past, I was beaten like a dog, but I feel refreshed after beating them even on a kaleidoscope.

Barbababak-! Kwajik-!

“Please stop! hey! Oscar! Are you crazy!?”

“Ah, so cool. Is this catharsis? The mouth is too noisy. Shall I pull out all the teeth first?”

Talking to yourself is not something you do for nothing. Without hesitation, I raised my club into the sky and prepared to strike it down like a thunderbolt from the sky.

“Oscar! Stop!”

Kwaak-!

The reason I couldn’t do that was because something grabbed my wrist at the same time as the commanding cry that came out of nowhere. It was a soft and gentle hand.

He was so strong that it seemed like his whole body, not just his arms, couldn’t move. I hurriedly turned my head and saw a demon woman.

A woman with dark red eyes and a pale face.

She was one of those people I’ll never forget, with dark black hair that looked like she was looking at me.

My only sister, Adela Lucifer.

– Oscar… ! This older sister will buy time somehow… ! You’ll run away… !

– Can’t we just go together? If you stay here, nothing but death awaits you.

– Don’t follow me right away… You are the only eldest son of the Lucifer family… ! Only when you’re alive can the family’s life be maintained… … !

– Tsk, then let’s go first. See you later with a smile.

A few years before the war between the Demon World and the Empire broke out, I was resisting alone to get me out safely from the encirclement of the pouring Imperial forces.

In the end, after meeting the cruel end of becoming a beehive, my pitiful sister, Adela Lucifer, was decapitated and imprisoned in the plaza.

In the future, she will be the cause for me to massacre the arrogant people of the Empire.

Why are you here?

Oh right. When Leonard and I sparred, Adela was always the referee. Was she also embodied in the same way as a kaleidoscope?

“Enough hit, Oscar. you won.”

“huh?”

“Look ahead. Any more beating here won’t do you any good, nor will it do you good for Leonard.”

“… ??”

But, is the kaleidoscope really vivid like this? Damn, I’ve never died and I’ve never seen anyone who’s died, so it feels like pioneering a new continent.

Leonard, who barely got up after being beaten by me, was chewing on his lips as if he was angry.

“Sir, f*ck… my, why am i… Why am I with that guy… !”

Leonard was covering his face with his arm. When I bent down and looked inside, I saw a face that clearly existed in my memory. That’s for sure, my second brother, Leonard, is right.

Obviously, Leonard and Adela are all dead people who died a long time ago, so it’s very nice to meet you like this.

“Wait and see… ! I will never just get over it… !”

“Oh hey, Leonard. You shouldn’t hold grudges over what happened during the sparring.”

But the two voices are a little too lively, right? Is this a real kaleidoscope? At best, before you die, you can feel the world created by your imagination like this?

… … Oh, I think I know what it is. This is not a kaleidoscope.

“Is this a surprise party?”

Since I’m dead, this will be the underworld.

My family must have prepared a surprise party to greet the dead me!

To bring back childhood memories! Even though it’s Leonard, who I didn’t get along with in this world! They must have tried to reconcile together in the afterlife!

“Uh, then I think I hit you too hard. are you okay? I think you broke a couple of bones too?”

I believed that with all my heart, until Adela, who was looking at me anxiously with the gaze of a psychopath, and Leonard, who was glaring at me as if he were going to kill me with a vicious murder, came into my sight.

“Oscar… ? By any chance, did I just get hit wrong… ?”

“Do you believe that you will let it go just because you pretend to be crazy!”

“What should I do with this… ? Should I report it to my father… ? I never thought I’d get hit in the head even if I had to get hit… .”

“This will never go unnoticed! Be prepared! You spoiled brat!”

*****

Something unbelievable happened.

It was more absurd than the demon king being defeated by someone, and more unbelievable than the saintess falling for the devil’s temptation.

Without saying a word, he raised his palm and spread it out, revealing a small, soft white palm.

this is my hand

And that’s not all.

When I removed my hand from the air, an antique ceiling appeared.

the ceiling of our house

Because it’s the ceiling of the second largest building in the Pandemonium, the Grand Duke of the North.

The silver lion is opening its mouth wide. oh wow, look cool

“Kick-kick.”

About two hours had passed since he was decapitated on the guillotine. And in those two hours, I was able to find out a truly surprising fact.

this is the past To be precise, the year 214 of the Imperial calendar when I was only nine years old. The reason I fought with my older brother, Leonard, was because I was in sparring.

According to the original history, I would have been the right role.

That’s roughly 500 years ago. from the day of the death penalty.

At first, I thought it was a dream. Second, I wondered if the 500 years I had been through were all delusions.

Two days passed like that, and the conclusion I came to now.

“Life is so… It is spectacular.”

that it came from the past. Maybe the world itself has been rewound. A whopping 500 years ago. Among them, for some reason, I have memories from my previous life.

Whatever it is, the conclusion that a new life that I didn’t even expect has fallen has not changed.

The last words the saintess said, those words she could never forget, could be understood if you put them into context.

『So, please do not forget and come in the year 701 of the Imperial calendar.』

『To the reading club of Eden Academy.』

About 500 years from now, in the year 701 of the Imperial calendar, they were asked to come to the reading club at Eden Academy.

I don’t know how the saintess found out.

The only thing that was clear was that the saintess knew something I didn’t know. That I will return. That the world will rewind.

Perhaps all of this was caused by the saintess. If you think about the pure white halo of light that covered the world when the blade of the guillotine fell, it is not just a forced delusion.

So, now the most important thing remains.

What should I do?

I, Oscar Lucifer, the joker who knows everything about the next 500 years.

In this life, what kind of life should I live?

“under… It’s an interesting situation.”

In fact, it is no different from a fixed question. The lingering regret that struck me right before the blade of the guillotine struck me is still vivid.

The beautiful light that the saintess showed. The great truth she taught me. That, the lofty light that this ugly and corrupt demon tribe thought would never be able to reach.

I want to chase that light, even just a little bit.

One thing, fortunately.

『If you want, I will help you wholeheartedly.』

“Even if I risk everything, I will help. I swear by the name of the majestic Lord.”

The saintess had declared that she would help me.

The problem is that the time the saintess spoke was five hundred years later. Even Eden Academy, the best academy in the empire, hadn’t even been built yet.

There is something called causality that is invisible in the world. If I make a big variable, it means that what should have happened in the future may not happen because of it.

For example, the person who existed in the previous life is not born in this life.

The bigger the incident, the farther the aftermath will be. If not, it could harm the birth of a saint that will take place on the continent 500 years later.

“This is really embarrassing.”

You can say what kind of bullsh*t it is when you have already defeated Leonard like Cerberus, but you can’t move hastily even though you don’t even know the situation well.

Maria.

The saintess of the warrior party.

Tartarus motive.

black nun costume.

white hair.

Two finely closed eyes.

black rosary.

Lips drawing an arc.

A bright smile, a bright smile, a kind smile, a hopeful smile, a generous smile.

Now, because the existence of a woman who has become inseparable from my heart is at stake.

‘Then what should I do first?’

The first thing that comes to mind as a solution is, of course, the Grand Duke of Southern Pandemonium.

Called ‘King’ among the Four Grand Dukes, he is regarded as the oldest demon in the Demon Realm. There is a theory that he lived for a million years, and there is an analysis that he was the first demon to be formed when the demon created the demon in the beginning.

Nothing is certain, but it is undeniable that he lived a long time. As much as I’ve been through such a long time, I naturally know a lot of things.

It also means that it is worth asking for advice about what I have been through.

As for minor issues… The point is that the yangban personality is not usually eccentric. It’s not really wild and lively, but he’s locked himself in his duke’s house and doesn’t want to come out at all.

The Grand Duke of Nambu, like me, is full of ‘artist’ temperament. When the Empire was occupied in the previous life, if the Grand Duke of the East treated humans as tools and left the Grand Duke of the West Lilith to live on his own, the Grand Duke of the South would make and display works of art with humans.

But, it’s okay. It’s just that there is a very small flaw in character.

Rather, he has such a personality, so if I ask him, he will show genuine interest in learning. Other demons would shake hands, saying that it was useless.

Alright, let’s go see him first. You need to know everything to set goals and prepare for life.

don’t make plans Because nothing is as uncertain and fragile as a plan. That the truth is absolutely right is proved by countless beings in this world who have made plans and failed.

Making a short but important decision, I was about to get out of bed.

smart-.

A soft knock is heard.

I’d like to use some kind of skill to figure out who the guy at the door is, but I’m only 9 years old and I don’t have that ability.

“who are you.”

Instead, he chose to ask verbally. What came back was a harsh response.

“What time is it, why aren’t you coming over for dinner?”

An answer that unilaterally ignores my question. The subject of the voice is someone I know, so there is no big problem.

It’s just that I’m just a little bit offended.

“You are the second older brother.”

Leonard, that demon to kill.

If Sister Adela died to save me, that one was the exact opposite.

He was also a demon who was obsessed with money, fame, and power, so he was very interested in the succession. Because of that, he often did very shameless things to me as a younger brother.

“Come quickly, everyone is waiting for you.”

“Aw, yes. let’s go.”

When I left the room with only my coat on, Leonard was already there. It’s like a bad guy.

“Brother, let’s go together.”

“joy.”

“Does it have to be so tight between the brothers?”

“Who is the brother of you?”

He said he didn’t know how high the sky was because he was young, and even though he was beaten that way, he didn’t get used to it.

Judging by his huffing steps, it is clear that he is angry and does not acknowledge the difference in skill with me. A narrow-minded person, a sleazy person, a petty person.

Once it’s imprinted badly, I can’t take a good look at it. I need to get my hands on it soon

“Let’s go in.”

Upon entering the dining room, the view came into view of a long room with lavish decorations and a table in the middle. Every dish on the table was dripping with high-quality oil.

Father was nowhere to be seen. Instead, my mother, my eldest mother, my second mother, my aunt… Etc. were sitting around a long table. Adela, my older sister, was also sitting in the head seat with a straight posture.

“Oh, long time no see everyone. Hey, how long has it been since we all had a meal together like this?”

“… ?”

When I greeted them lightly, they stared blankly at me with geeky eyes and then murmured.

“That, that… Earlier in Dalian… .”

Subsequently, Adela kindly explained by adding words such as ‘I was hit on the head while sparring with Leonard earlier, please understand’, but I didn’t pay much attention.

“Kyaa, is this the turkey that my granddaughter has been eating for the first time in a while? My mouth is watering already.”

Why?

“Oh, look at the time. The turkey should be like this. It will melt, it will melt.”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Jjiik-.

For this plump turkey, from which I am now tearing off my legs. In fact, it contains a great poison.

Leonard’s mother and aunt put it in check for me because of the succession.

It suppresses mana without anyone noticing, and makes it impossible to even grow during the poisoning period.

As long as Leonard was alive, he made me an idiot who couldn’t even handle magic.

Of course, in this life, I will use it in reverse.

damn poison.
