This is Not How You Use a Villainess Sir

Chapter 62: Sir, That’s Not How You Use a Bad Woman

“Will the blood moon never end, and you’ll always be on the front line? And I’ll have to be your ‘power bank’ all the time? Let’s see how it goes first.”

Shanoa had never heard the term “power bank,” but she could vaguely understand its meaning.

Thinking of “recharging,” her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, and she puffed up her chest, conceding nonchalantly:

“Alright, let’s hope it ends soon.”

While they were talking, Omija brought out a rarely seen Taboo One.

With white hair and red eyes, standing over 1.7 meters tall, wearing a loose white robe with a number on it, she resembled a “lab rat.”

Her waist-length white hair was disheveled, half-covering her face. Just making eye contact with her red eyes would intimidate many due to her wild aura, even causing concern that she might attack without reason.

On her snow-white and agile right thigh, there was a bewitching blood-red tattoo, resembling the intricate core of a Lycoris flower, which upon closer inspection, appeared to be a mark of some power.

Chu Yan had once seen this woman in the company of Omeika, and said to be personally brought by him.

Referred to by the codename “Bloodsword,” her real name was not to be mentioned, as it would stir her emotions into a frenzy.

There were few taboo dwellers in the lord’s castle, most of whom moved freely, but Bloodsword was shackled and controlled personally by Omeika.

“When the next batch of elite demons appears, she and I will handle them.”

Omeika spoke succinctly, and after finishing, he took the taboo known as “Bloodsword” towards the frontline.

“Lady Evelyne, do you still have some strength left?” Chu Yan looked at Evelyne, somewhat embarrassed to ask.

Evelyne had indeed exerted a lot of effort previously, and even now, though she could be commanded through the contract, she could also slack off, casually tossing an ice spear or detonating a snowflake at the edge of the wasteland.

It would be better to let her rest.

The mature and proud blonde beauty slightly curled her lips, pleasantly observing Chu Yan’s awkward request, and feeling quite generous due to her good mood, she said:

“Poor little lord, the blood moon seems about to corner you. I can exert myself once more, consider it extra practice for my magic.”

Josephine frowned, suspecting that beneath the dragonkin woman’s enthusiastic attitude, there might be some ulterior motive, and also said:

“The stability of the Miracle Array is related to the safety of my companions, I will help too.”

Chapter 66: Loss of Control

The group hadn’t been at the frontline outpost for long when trouble indeed arose offshore.

“Seafood” demons emerged in droves, so numerous that a single wave could push seven or eight onto the shore, and even the demons’ own spiked shells crushed many of their kind.

Without needing to discuss detailed roles, the group immediately began slaughtering the nearest demons.

Such a dense swarm of demons was practically prepared for Evelyne’s “Mowing Unmatched.”

From noble mtl dot come

The familiar face of the ice tornado reappeared, hovering at the edge of the near sea, its powerful suction pulling shrimp soldiers and crab generals into the vortex to be shredded.

Evelyne also gifted a 【Spear Rain of Ice】, with thousands of sharp ice spears pouring down.

The demons couldn’t escape; to show themselves was to die.

Josephine didn’t play the overseer, she too exerted herself.

A holy aura centered around her enveloped the group, a series of blessings enhancing everyone.

“I thought the church’s blessings were poison, but who knew they could also be normally applied to the taboo?” said the white-haired woman beside Omeika, unfazed even as Josephine’s gaze fell upon her.

“Don’t speak unnecessarily, finish up here quickly, and you can rest,” said the female officer, devoid of emotion.

“Such a serious killjoy.”

The white-haired, red-eyed woman sighed, the bewitching patterns on her large white legs oozing viscous blood. This blood, as if possessing will and life, writhed and transformed into a blood-red blade in her hand, its edge thorny.

She began to fight the fish that slipped through the magic array, moving like a shadow of blood.

After slaying four or five demons, the essence of their blood would float up, transforming into a Blood Demon Spirit that would hurl itself into the midst of the demons and self-destruct.

“These demons seem weaker than before, their defenses are hardly up to par, though their numbers are indeed frightening… Lady Aefalin, conserve some energy.”

Chu Yan felt a sense of relief amidst his observations and conclusions, pleased with the significant results of tending to this ‘wicked aunt’.

A high-level mage is the absolute main force in such situations.

Josephine remarked, “Why are there only these ordinary demons? Where are the elite ones?”

It was indeed strange. Why were there only small fries, with no sign of the main players?

Chu Yan broadened his thinking, pondering whether the elite demons had already landed and were hiding.

“Could it be that they’ve bypassed us and escaped?”

If that were the case, Chu Yan wouldn’t bother; as long as the elite demon didn’t disturb the blissful city, it was fine.

The dangers outside were left for the outside to handle.

But the situation wasn’t as rosy as Chu Yan imagined.

The wasteland suddenly trembled and shook, the violent vibrations tearing the earth apart, creating several fissures.

Before Chu Yan could voice a warning, a sense of crisis overwhelmed him.

Several large tentacles burst forth from the ground where he had just stood, soaring into the sky, then crashing down onto the surface like a tidal wave!

Immediately after, the wasteland collapsed!

Something even more massive, like a mountain, surged out — it was a darkened octopus head, with eyes of all sizes scattered across it, blinking and surveying its surroundings.

It was the Deep Sea Overlord in its complete form!

The smooth coastline caved in significantly, forming a “natural” harbor large enough to dock about a dozen ocean-going vessels, provided the Deep Sea Overlord was slain.

At the sight of this creature, Chu Yan seemed to understand why demons occasionally emerged from beneath the barren beach.

The seabed near the shore had long been hollowed out by this behemoth, which had been slumbering underground, allowing sea demons to occasionally surface.

Under this impact, the group was forced to scatter.

Aefalin and Omija landed in the direction close to the defensive line, while Chu Yan, Josephine, and the Demon Blood Sword ended up on the opposite shore.

With the Deep Sea Overlord blocking the middle, neither side could see their companions on the other shore.

Aefalin’s expression grew solemn as she asked the female officer beside her:

“What level of demon is this, to be so huge!”

The sudden shift in the situation caused the dragonkin beauty’s volume to rise unconsciously, a decibel level quite unbecoming of noble etiquette.

Even so, amidst the chaotic noise, Omija almost failed to hear her.

The female officer, pulling the mage lady aside to dodge a tentacle strike, said:

“Judging by the aura of the demon, we have some good news. It still falls within the category of an elite-level demon, not a lord-level.”

After several dodges, Aefalin’s beautiful golden hair became slightly disheveled, and her skirt was wet with seawater. Following Omija’s words, she inquired further:

“Usually, when someone speaks like you do, there’s bad news lurking behind.”

“The bad news is, we might not even be able to beat the elite level anymore.”

“…You’re quite humorous.”

In the castle, upon hearing that tremendous noise, Janet and the others were filled with trepidation.

They hurriedly ran to the high terrace to look out, and at first glance, they thought their eyes were deceiving them. How did a mountain suddenly appear out of nowhere on the barren beach?

But upon closer inspection, they couldn’t help but hold their breath.

“Is this blood moon really trying to push us all to the brink of losing control?”

As Shanoa spoke, she was already on her way to the barren beach.

“I think we can broaden our thinking a bit, let the ‘Deep Sea Overlord’ come ashore on its own, we trust in the wisdom of the Sanctuary of Precepts!”

Janet couldn’t help but retort, similarly starting to head downstairs, preparing to call people to action.

*

Swoosh—

The sound of cleaving air passed by, and a crimson blade left a phantom trail, the white-haired woman exerting tremendous effort to sever a giant tentacle.

It seemed difficult, but in reality… it was anything but easy.

From the severed tentacle’s wound poured a vast amount of black blood essence, and then, the remains of some lesser demon creatures fell from the tentacle’s suckers.

This left the white-haired woman startled, quite surprised.

Chu Yan was equally surprised, saying, “There are even lesser creature corpses inside the tentacle, does this mean the ‘Deep Sea Overlord’ is evolving by devouring these minions?!”

The Demon Blood Sword attempted to communicate with Chu Yan, but this was not her forte. The speaking habits of Omiqa surfaced in her mind, and the Demon Blood Sword said:

“I have good news and bad news.”

“Tell me the bad news first.” Chu Yan replied in kind, not expecting this forbidden sister to speak in such a manner.

“You just mentioned the bad news.”

“…?”

Chu Yan was almost at a loss for words, as this good sister seemed to have no intention of easing the atmosphere, her expression unchanged, simply as if she was saying it just to make a “good and bad news” statement.

“Then tell me the good news.” His mood was complex.

“If you can burn through the ‘Deep Sea Lord’s’ scalp, I can detonate all of its blood essence, but afterwards, you must hurry and bring me back to the castle.”

This was a possibility the Demon Blood Sword realized after severing the tentacle.

Perhaps because it had devored too many demons, the ‘Deep Sea Overlord’s’ blood essence was terrifyingly abundant, much of it belonging to those demons not yet fully digested.
