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 39

“Master, what do you mean by that…”

After saving Muller Carfes, I was nothing but bewildered.

She seemed happy about me staring at her breasts.

And to top it off, she started calling me “Master.”

Since she was just a mob character who died early in the game, her inner thoughts weren’t delved into deeply―

Maybe Muller is, you know, kind of a dangerous person.

“Please do your best, Master! I’m rooting for you!”

“Haa…”

Her cheering from behind left me at a loss for words.

Oh well.

It doesn’t change the fact that those breasts are attractive.

Deciding so, I shifted my gaze back to Zarex―

“Hey.”

For some reason, Zarex, who had relaxed his combat stance, was staring at me with a curious expression.

“Why did you save that woman? She’s the secretary to the president of the very country you guys are trying to invade… the Virginia Empire, you know?”

“Ha, don’t get me wrong, idiot.”

“What did you say?”

“It’s Yurisia who’s trying to invade. Not me.”

“…”

Well, it’s “for now,” at least.

Once the Elf Kingdom is strengthened a bit more, I plan to expand its territory.

“And look at those breasts. Don’t you think all of a man’s dreams are packed into them?”

“Breasts…?”

“Yeah. You’re a man too… You get it, right?”

“Kukuku… I might think it unlikely, but did you risk your life just for those breasts?”

“Of course.”

There’s a fight worth winning, and that’s all there is to it.

“Huh, you’re an interesting man. If the time and place were different, we might have had a good drink together.”

And yet! Zarex suddenly raised his voice loudly and pointed his sword at me once again.

“―Even so, I can’t just overlook Cornelius’s reckless deeds. If you continue to interfere, we won’t go easy on you either!”

“Ha, same here. I can’t just let anyone die here and now!”

So Zarex and I crossed swords once again.

He really is strong, just as he was treated as a strong character in the game.

All of his attacks are fast.

Before you can even blink, he’s already approaching, and he manages to keep the perfect distance to launch his attacks without allowing any retaliation.

This guy is also a master of magic.

Just when you think you’re safe at a distance, relentless fire spells come flying your way without mercy.

In my previous life, there were people who said they got traumatized by Zarex, and I can see why, given his strength.

But―that only applied to the average player skill level.

Having cleared the game three hundred times, I could predict his attack patterns like the back of my hand.

“Damn… Why can’t any of my attacks land!”

Thus, Zarex was visibly frustrated.

Despite swinging his great sword with godlike speed, I dodged them all with just a slight sidestep.

“You’re wide open.”

“Kuo…!”

When I poked him in the chest with just two fingers, Zarex was sent flying backwards.

“Impossible… Impossible!”

But Zarex refused to give up and attacked again.

Due to his considerable speed, this also caused violent gusts of wind to swirl around.

“Uoooo!”

“Waaaaaaa!”

Adventurers watching the fight ducked down from the wind created.

“What a fight…! A true battle between masters!”

But even their voices didn’t reach my consciousness.

Once the game starts, all my focus goes to the battle ahead―.

Otherwise, it’s easy to get killed in this game.

“Phew… No choice then. Guess I’ll show you the difference in our powers.”

A new skill available to me after reaching level 100.

A skill no character could use in the story, it would certainly surprise Zarex.

He’s quite tough with high HP.

Merely repeating relentless attacks wouldn’t lead to a conclusion.

“Drop dead!”

Dodging Zarex’s energetically swung sword with the minimal necessary movement once more.

After launching a powerful technique, it was inevitable for an opening to appear.

Now, Zarex was stumbling forward having missed his strike.

―Now’s the time!

I charged my magic sword Levandest with all the magic power I could muster and executed a slashing attack on Zarex’s exposed torso.

Gaining momentum, I landed a bit away from him―.

The next moment, an ear-splitting explosion resonated.

A tremendous shockwave that vigorously shook the castle itself.

An outrageously high-damage special move, Supernova Explosion Sword, that creates a massive explosion starting at the point of attack.

Normally, this sword technique can’t be performed unless the attack power reaches 20,000.

So, in the game protagonist’s case, they could start using it only past level 300.

Yet the current me is… Esmeralda Dia Vefeld.

Combining my extraordinary stats with Levandest’s broken feature of “+10,000 attack power,” even this grand technique became usable.

“No way…!”

Zarex finally fell to his knees, unable to withstand the attack.

“We did it!”

Behind me, Muller jumped up and down, her large breasts bouncing.
