Chapter 82 82 Defeating demons
[El's POV: ]
'Hmmm~. He's sleeping like a little princess. Should I kiss him to wake her up~?'
Our little test was on the last stage now. He only had some fake demons to defeat. And since these skeletons weren't even on the level of that pig bastard, so, this was a pretty easy task.
'And he has his pretty white sword too, so they should be even easier.'
But that did not concern me since Levi was finally unconscious after witnessing the death of those little bugs.
He didn't have a heart attack, sadly, so I can't open him up yet, but, at least his defense mechanism shut his body down to prevent any more psychological shock, which ultimately meant he now had a greater chance of a sudden heart failure if his Mana fails to maintain his body…
"Hehehe."
It was a race against time. We just had to see if Lucy finishes those demons first or if this little princess's Mana runs out before he does that.
It was pretty fun thinking about how I can do surgery on this planet where they only used the holy powers and healing abilities to cure anything and had no great knowledge of how the body functions actually worked, or how we can use some gruesome-looking methods to save someone from almost the brink of death.
'Though the main reason I wanted to do it was to have some fun with elvan insides, hehehe.'
But the princess was in a coma for now, so, there was nothing I could do to him.
[00:03]
The battle was about to begin, his opponent was two skeletons possessing high intelligence and pure battle capabilities.
Both were wearing pretty-looking armors, held good-looking black swords that exuded demonic energy, and had a dot of green light in their helmet-covered skulls.
They were cute, definitely. But the demonic energy made them filthy. Not only by appearance but also by the feeling they gave off.
It was just half-assed. As if a person wearing a mascot costume without the head gear.
'Ugh… true necromancy skeletons are cuter. And the self-born or enlightened ones are the cutest.'
But these were ugly, so, as soon as they closed in on him with their [Blink], Lucy used [Light walk] and got behind them, slashing his light element-covered white sword.
-Clank! Clank!
But both bastards blocked the attack with their swords, doing one of the most foolish things they could do as skeletons.
-Boooooom!
The force behind Lucy's powerful strikes was not something the likes of them could stop with just their fragile bodies so, both were thrown back.
It was a calculated move on that bastard's part as he threw them exactly where he wanted, and the two skeletons almost collided with his deadly mana wires.
They would have died easily if they had actually collided with them, but, these bastards were different from all the opponents he had faced so far.
They had higher intelligence and actual experience data that Vienna created them with.
They knew how to fight so when they sensed the danger behind them, they dug their swords into the ground and used the clashing force to change the direction they were going towards.
'Changing the vector direction like this would have been very painful for humans or any being that could feel pain, but, they were ultimately undead.'
And they were demonic creatures too so they had the tenacity of the demons.
The ugly bastards endured the force, didn't give a fuck about the fractured arms that they lost to that fall, and went back to attack him with their dark swords.
Lucy had grasped their limits by this time though, so, he used the [Light walk] again, transported at a certain point on the left side, and got into a sword-drowning position.
'Bastard…'
He was good already, but after getting a new life, he seemed to have become even better.
He knew the mindset of these creatures, so when they saw him changing his positions to the side, they closed in on him with their supernatural speed, and precisely when they were at the right distance, they blinked again to reappear behind him… exactly what my bastard was aiming for.
-Click.
They learned from his actions so he led them into this specific position and just when they were behind him, at a speed faster than them, at a speed normal eyes couldn't even fathom, he turned around, used [Horizontal slash], and cut right through their powerful demonic armors.
-Dhummmmmmmm!
They were sent back flying, the protective armor that not even a professional orc breaker could dent was in tatters after that attack, and, their cores were now visible in their ribcage.
'You better be at least this much better when we are doing it, bastard.'
Demons. The creatures of magic, strength, demonic arts, and a near eternal life. Just like the undead, they would be alive unless their 'hearts' or 'cores' or more technically, their 'energy center' was destroyed.
They possessed tremendous powers and were ultimately considered the beings of [Hell].
They had an eternal clash with all the other species since their main disposition was 'evil'.
'But these ethical points of view of good and evil varied depending on the parts of the Worldline we were talking about.'
In smaller parts of the Worldline like this one, the demons were nothing more than enemies of all life while in some higher parts of the Worldline, they were as normal part of the society as any other creature.
'The actual demons were cooler than the angels in some ways, actually. They did what they pleased, they were smart, they knew what magic actually is and how to use it, and they could even change their forms as they pleased.
Just think about it. I can be anything I wanted, can do however I wanted to my pure little bastard, and even fu-… the possibilities were endless.'
How fun could it be?
'We had tried it in my games, but how fun would it be in this reality which actually was in fact 'reality'?'
"Hehehe."
Well, we don't know what will happen in the future. But, at least, we do know something will happen. Which meant there was always a possibility of anything any of us mentioned anywhere.
But for now, we were doing this battle thing.
-Click!
When the cores of the skeletons were visible, Lucy used his [Light walk] again and destroyed the cores with another [Horizontal slash].
He had mostly used these two skills in this battle since it was the easiest and quickest way to deal with them, but it had put some burden on his body.
It was no easy task to use skills of that level so many times in this short time together, but, he was fine. He had already done worse with that hard, sexy body of his, this much was nothing much.

[Preparation time: 5:00]
[Opponents: <E> rank creatures (Level-100) Demonic familiars*80]
The skeletons were a little handful but, the creatures that now appeared were all far beyond those little boneheads. And more than anything, there was a swarm of those cute things.
'Demonic familiars, the creatures that serve a true demon noble. And though they come in many shapes, sizes, and forms, the ones that appeared this time were round eyes with bat-like wings~.'
They even had a mouth with cute little red teeth so they looked even more adorable~.
'But they had to die from his white sword today. Alas…'
Not that it would be anything easy though. This was going to be a difficult task, even for him.
They were creatures that were actually difficult to deal with when they appeared in large numbers.
And according to our current power level, eighty were certainly a little difficult for him alone. But it was only a 'little difficult'.
[3:00]
Truthfully, familiars hold as great of an importance in this entire Worldline as the system itself. They are the lifelong partners of not only those connected to the Worldline but also those aspiring to become someone holding some important rank in their worlds.
'The familiar summoning event would be the last part of our entrance exam and yes I'm looking forward to getting my new cutie but, both of us have this little weird feeling about that.'
This mutual feeling of something weird happening at that time is consistent for some reason, but well… that's not something I should think about.
There was less than half of his Mana remaining so, there should be signs of tension on this princess's face as well as my little darling's.
[00:10]
Eighty of the 'eye bats' were aiming for him now, their yellow eyes glowing with rage as the acidic saliva from their hungry mouths holed the already burning ground.
They questioned the existence of the being that stood on the land of their master, questioned the audacity he must have had to even think of something so heinous, frowned at his ugly form from their position, and when the restraints were lifted, and the clock had reached its peak, the swarm rushed forward, spread out in all directions, closed in on the bastard, and aimed their power, the deadly demonic energy rays at him.
They were many, however, they acted like a singular entity, following the rhythm of the others, and harmonizing with them to create a unique scene before us.
They were dangerous creatures, powerful enough to destroy even a small army, but, before my bastard that was powerful enough to actually go against a proper army, they were but pretty eyeballs.
And since they were ultimately far weaker than the skeletons he faced before them, they were pretty easy to deal with too. He just had to show off the swordsmanship I was so proud of.
'So… he did it.'
He moved without any skills, jumped up to be on the same ground as them with his raw strength alone, and used his sword as a perfect extension of his own soul, controlling it like it was some weapon of destruction, and as that white sword moved, slashed, cut, and pierced the creatures that were shooting the death rays with their eyes, they started falling to the ground.
He was showing his sword techniques, not skills but techniques, the abilities that had no need to be turned into skills, and, the way he moved, the way he killed those small things with his long hard sword, was… even I could only muster one word for that performance.
"Perfection."
My bastard, my hot darling. He loved the sword for as long as I remember.
He had practiced that simple weapon, unlike anyone I could think about. Be it the reality or the virtual worlds.
He didn't need skills to be strong, he didn't need the strength of the enhanced stats, he didn't even need the buffs from us or his weapons.
If he needed to, he could take care of anything with just the techniques alone… but the stats, buffs, and skills were there to make things easier for him.
They were there so that we could do what we wanted to do even a little more easily but, still, for these little eyeballs… he didn't need them, even if he had to burn more stamina than needed.
He looked beautiful when he was bathing in the fake demonic blood of those creatures at the end, even more than when he was killing them like a god sentencing the sinners to divine punishment.
He was pretty sexy already, but, the way those bitches of heavens were drooling over his utterly stunningly gorgeously perfectly hard body was fucking annoying.
And they were giving him free Oz for this show for a while now, which, was fine actually. They were bankrupting themselves for a mere boy that won't ever be theirs, so it sure was only their loss.
'He was only gonna fk me anyway. So they better prepare themselves for that time. It's not that far anyway… at least in our time.'

[Would you continue with the battle or would you like to talk with the opponent.]
The last battle. And he could have chosen to fight in any normal case… but the bastard glanced over to our side, looked at Eva first and she gave him some kind of nod, which I definitely knew meant 'I was about to do something to this pretty elf'.
'Why do these people care anyway. It's not like I would kill him or anything. I'm a crazy bitch but at least not dumb enough to waste such a pretty face and useful mortal resource.
These bastards worried too much.'
I had opened up hundreds of elves in our previous life's virtual worlds. I even created a central hospital that later became famous all throughout the Worldline. I was chief of surgery there, so I obviously had experience.
One little elf was nothing. And a simple cardiac blockage? I just needed to open him up, do some cuts here and there, use some Mana to do some repairing here and there, and then close him up. Done.
And while we were opening things up anyway, what did it matter if I opened his top and bottom as well?
Nothing too much right?
It should have been a normal thing but the two bastards were adamant on taking away this little dream of mine.
That bastard brother of mine who should have been fighting that true demon that had a humongous form with his cool moves, chose to talk with him…
He had shown good enough things to them that they had reached the climax already, he knew that. And he especially believed the association branch manager would request for a duel with him in the future so the bastard was even more confident.
He just went up to the demon and talked with him secretly… and done?

[The test has been concluded.]
[Calculating results and contributions.]
This was soooooooo fucking anti climatic that I don't even have words! What bastard would even consider going like this?!
"Ughhhhh! Fuck you, people!"
I don't like this! I want a rewrite! I want my fucking final battle and the gruesome surgery! Fuck!
"Ughhhhh…!"
Why do they do this to me?! What have I even done to deserve this one sided unfair treatment?!
"Bastards!"
