Reincarnated as the Hated Villainous Prince, I Thought I Could Live Freely in This Life, but Unconsciously Acted Like a Saint ~Trying to Create an Evil Kingdom, but for Some Reason I'm Highly Respected by Everyone~ - Chapter 22

Before long, a familiar colossal figure made its appearance at the party venue.

ZUDOOOOOON!

Ignoring the tables and everything else set up around, the Blood Death Dragon landed on the ground. Thankfully, the venue was designed with a high ceiling, avoiding the tragedy of it being destroyed.

“Hmph… Everything is just as in the original story.”

Both wings were horrifyingly spiky.

The claws seemed sharp enough to easily slice through human flesh.

And the scales were covered in pitch black.

Every aspect of its appearance was designed to instill fear, so much so that there were players who quit the VR game because of it.

Of course, its fearsome appearance was not just for show.

In the case of the game’s main character, at least a level of 200 was required.

Furthermore, one couldn’t hope to win without cooperating with highly skilled friends.

And―there was more.

“GOOOOOOOOO!!”

Shockingly, another Blood Death Dragon descended from the sky. That damn Yurisia, she’s determined to kill me no matter what.

“You must escape, Esmeralda-sama!”

From afar, Rofemia called out to me with a desperate expression.

…What a fool.

She should have just fled, but instead, she chose to stay here.

Is she that worried about me?

Truly a gullible race.

―But that’s precisely why I can’t leave them be.

If I fled, the elves would suffer significant damages since Sword Emperor Mirua is in the midst of battling the Third Division.

“Kukkukku, truly, who’s the gullible one here?”

But a man of principle never wavers. A true villain always remains calm and composed.

“DORUAAAAAAAAAAA!!”

The first Blood Death Dragon swung down its claw at me.

Starting with a normal attack, huh?

A scene I’ve seen more times than my own parent’s faces during my three hundred rounds of gameplay.

I executed a light sidestep, avoiding its claw with minimal movement. The other Blood Death Dragon was opening its maw wide, but I’ve seen this attack countless times before as well.

I leapt high into the air, and a fraction of a second later, pitch-black flames passed through where I had been moments before.

By the way, with my current condition where damage received is tripled, getting hit by that would probably mean instant death.

That’s how strong the Blood Death Dragon is.

Well, that’s only for those who aren’t used to gaming.

“OOOOOOOOOH!”

Drawing my sword from its sheath, I slashed down towards the Blood Death Dragon right below me.

――Slash!

The shockwave emitted from the Demon Sword Levandest attacked both Blood Death Dragons.

“GYUAAAAAAA!”

“GAAAAAAA!!”

…Good, it seems to be working.

If this body were the game’s protagonist, not even a scratch could have been inflicted on the Blood Death Dragon.

But―This body belongs to the villainous prince, Esmeralda.

Furthermore, with the ruthless weapon, the Demon Sword Levandest boosting my attack power, it was only logical for damage to be dealt even to formidable foes.

“GAAAAAAAAA!!”

However, not going down with just one hit was also characteristic of the Blood Death Dragon.

As a monster with top-tier attack and defense power, it seems like it will take some time to settle this ordeal.

But―I found myself smiling before I knew it.

Dealing with two Blood Death Dragons simultaneously at just level 50.

Such an act would be impossible.

But for this Esmeralda, it surely can be accomplished. An incredible feat that every hardcore gamer dreams of achieving is now within my reach.

For a dedicated gamer like myself, there isn’t a more thrilling moment!

“GUAAA…?”

Before long, the Blood Death Dragons seemed to be panicking.

Since none of their attacks landed on me, they must have started to get frustrated.

―But it’s futile.

All your attacks are already calculated in my head…!

“It’s… it’s incredible…!”

On the edge of my vision, Rofemia looked utterly astonished, completely engrossed in the battle.
