Chapter 87: Black art

I finish the magic circle and fly out the window, the magic circle in my room starts to glow as I send magic into it, my magic begins to be absorbed causing the magic circle to overload.

With the overload, it ends up expanding, a massive explosion of magic occurs as I fly away from the castle at an extremely fast pace, hoping the heroine has died.

"...!!" I dodge a blow that passed extremely fast, it was some kind of golden projectile, I end up descending into the forest near the castle, staying in the sky leaves me too exposed.

"H-How?" As soon as I descend to the ground, I see a girl running extremely fast chasing me as I dodge trees in the path, the girl has long black hair and brown eyes.

"Heroine...you are quite strong" I am slightly faster than her, so I continue to fly while trying to talk to her, who keeps firing several golden projectiles at me.

"Thank you for the compliment" She starts to swing her sword faster, launching golden projectiles at me as I dodge everything.

"May I know why you are after me?" I will try to convince her or buy some time, I want to know how this is supposedly my fateful encounter.

"5 years ago you killed many people, I’m just here because I’m a heroine...and to run my sacred sword through your body"

’That phrase sounded strange’ I don’t know, but it seemed to have a strange double meaning.

"..." I start to shoot magic at her while flying super-fast using the trees as obstacles to help me, but the heroine manages to keep chasing me, she is undoubtedly very fast.

"I won’t kill people anymore, I’ll even disappear and never show up again, doesn’t that seem good?" I try to climb higher, but if I leave the forest, she starts firing powers like crazy.

At least flying low, she avoids constantly firing magic, as it will interfere with her.

"No, I have to defeat you, I’ve already defeated your soldiers, killed all your loyal subjects, and now your castle no longer exists, I’ve taken almost everything from you"

’Wow...that’s something a heroine says so coldly?’ Hero enthusiasts would be horrified.

"How old are you? Isn’t it a bit young to be so bloodthirsty?" She seems relatively young.

"I’m 18 years old, and you were much more bloodthirsty when you killed so many people, Demon Queen" She doesn’t give up on chasing me, my god, what strong legs to be able to keep up with my flight and dodge my magic.

"Are you not willing to talk?" In response to my question, she swings her sword and a large area is cut while I barely dodge.

"Surrender, Demon Queen, and maybe I’ll make things quicker"

’She’s trying to kill me!’ I won’t accept that she kills me, although I have no idea how supposedly being killed by her is linked to my Yandere since she should be the Yandere.

"I don’t want to die!" I explode the ground with magic, but she takes advantage of the debris and her speed to jump from fragment to fragment, shortening our distance.

She starts firing several small energy beams, which make me remember a laser weapon, I dodge them barely while firing my magic, the forest will soon end and we’ll have a plain, so I make a turn.

Thus starting to fly towards the castle, but even though it’s easy for me to curve at high speed, I didn’t expect it to be so easy for her to make curves as well.

"Heroine, why are you after me?" I try to use hypnosis magic, but it doesn’t work as I imagined, holy items nullify magic and she’s wearing light armor that emanates holy energy.

"Because I’m a heroine" She answers the obvious.

"Anything besides being a heroine?" There must be something more, she must be supposedly the Yandere, right?

"Something personal, I can tell you when I plunge my sword deeply into your body"

’When she kills me, I won’t need to know anymore!’ I feel like yelling that, but I ignore such a thing and continue flying in a hurry, there must be a way to escape this girl, she’s strong, but the real problem is the armor.

I start shooting magic on the ground where I’m flying, raising clouds of dust to hinder visibility while making several confusing movements through the trees to mess her up.

"You’re very annoying, you know?" She’s already caught up with me, so I simply stop instantly in the air, she can’t do the same and goes past me, only to see me passing by her.

She just lost all her speed while I can maintain the original speed, she tries to chase me again, but it’s obviously left behind, she starts firing magic, destroying the obstacles in front.

"What’s your name, heroine?" Maybe I can affect her with some lust magic and debilitate her movements.

"Why do you want to know?"

"To put it on your tombstone" I mock her as I enter the area of the ruined castle.

"I’m Alyssa, and what’s yours?" She simply responds, totally oblivious to the provocation I made.

"Shizune" I respond coldly, I’m angry at everything, Sayuri simply isn’t the solution to my problem, she clearly won’t help me, so I’ll forget that possibility.

But if it’s not Sayuri, then I have to find another option.

"Why did you stop running, Shizune?" We’re in a crumbled area of the castle.

"I’ll defeat you here" Since Sayuri accelerated time a short time after calling her, I still have my weapon, I won’t just surrender to this heroine and let her kill me.

"Defeat me? That possibility doesn’t exist for a being like you" I advance towards her, my claws tinkling against the metal of her blade.

"We’ll see" I start to strike with speed, I won’t lose another life, I won’t follow the path that Sayuri wants, I may have been wrong and killing people was very wrong on my part and has no justification.

But I’m going insane, I can’t stand dying anymore, and being used as a toy by others just for Sayuri’s satisfaction.

"You have a very sad look, you know?" The heroine speaks while blocking all my attacks.

"Maybe I do, that doesn’t matter" I’m really discouraged, I can’t think of how to break this curse, it’s like a dead end.

My speed is slightly superior, so my weapon ends up having a certain advantage against her, and since it’s a weapon and not magic, her weapon can’t be much superior to mine.

"You’re truly strong, Shizune, just as I had already imagined" She starts to be pressured since my blows are hard to defend, but she starts to launch those small golden beams.

I try to block the blows with my magic, I have many of them, but most are about sex and obviously charming this heroine is not working, after all this heroine is wearing a holy light armor.

"You know, Shizune, I’ve always imagined the day this moment would come, I’ve trained a lot in the last few years to defeat you"

’This reminds me, what place is this heroine from?’ I was sure the first village is where the hero should be.

"Training for years just to kill someone, isn’t that a bit senseless?" I say, trying to destabilize her while flying up and using attack magics.

"...I have my reasons"

"Kill me? That’s not a good reason, you know?" Training for years to kill someone doesn’t seem like a good reason.

"...My reasons are personal, but in any case, you’ll understand when I defeat you" She jumps up, striking me with such force that I’m thrown to the ground, but I quickly fly again.

"Hahaha, of course, if you win, could you at least kill me quickly?" I’d at least like not to suffer too much, I’ve already suffered enough in this world when I appeared in this place.

Ironically, I’ve only been in this world for a few hours, and Sayuri has accelerated time, so I wasn’t supposed to die so quickly if I hadn’t summoned her, now I don’t have much experience with this body.

"...Unfortunately, I cannot fulfill your wish" She denies while advancing towards me with the sword swinging in quick blows that I barely defend with my claws.

But using the knowledge of the past life and the little training I had, I sweep her legs, she makes a surprised face as her angle changes and I kick her in the stomach, throwing her up.

"Well, know that I will kill you quickly" I don’t want to die, I feel that if I die again, I’ll go insane, I’d rather flee like a coward than keep dying.

She falls from the ceiling and regains her posture, though she staggers a bit.

"Good blow, Shizune, I also know a few good tricks" She turns her back and advances towards a collapsed column of the castle, she kicks the pillar, hurling it at me.

I dodge only to have one of my wings pierced by her sword, I kick her away, but she easily dodges.

It hurts a little to have my wing pierced like that, but she doesn’t give me time to recover and keeps advancing, striking with the sword.

’W-Why is this heroine so annoyingly strong?’ My flight was debilitated while I still haven’t managed to hit her with my weapon, if I could, she would be affected by the aphrodisiac and incapacitated.

"Alyssa, huh? Why don’t you finish me with a single blow?" She’s dragging on a lot, although I doubt she can kill me in one blow.

"..."

’!!!’

"Y-You! How dare you call yourself a heroine using such cowardly tactics! HOW DARE YOU USE BLACK MAGIC?" A giant magic circle shines on the ground in golden light, she just drew out our fight and took advantage of my choice.

But the worst is that she, as a heroine, is using something taboo to humanity, black magic used by demons made by sacrificing something, usually people.

"Coward? No, Shizune, I’m just cautious, and calling me a coward is a bit insulting, I was just being smart"

"..."

"Don’t look at me like that, we’re enemies" She speaks when I look at her angrily, I think about how to escape the area or dodge the possible attack that will happen.
