Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 255

(EP-255.2) Caged #10

255 – Caged Bird #10

Now, Opal had to bear all the problems alone. It was good that he had overwhelming capital and technology. He also had the fortune to defy death.

He asked.

“I fear death?”

It was a laughable question.

“In my long life, I have never once feared my own death!”

The blonde-haired commander frowned, as if she couldn’t understand him.

“Then what exactly are you doing?”

“But I’m afraid of death.”

“What?”

“The things that will happen in this world after my death. Everything you will have to endure once I am gone. That is why I’m afraid of my death. It is beyond your capabilities.”

Yes.

They were out of their depth.

They struggled to even those who was but a fragment of their genius and was clinging to life by misguided methods.

They were woefully inadequate.

“You are completely insane. You don’t even know what you’re saying right now.”

Their attitude was one of incomprehension.

But Opal himself had never asked for understanding. He merely wished to escape this place and shatter the shell of the world to awaken everyone.

Seureureuk—

Something targeted the back of Opal’s neck.

Jirit-.

Opal’s talent《Super Sense》alerted him to the danger. Turning his head, he saw the half-fairy who had been quietly chanting all this time.

A peculiar being.

When that guy first arrived at the mansion, Opal was reminded of the wall that had tormented him for a long time. So he met him once in the hallway.

But he was a trivial character.

Not even worth killing.

Perhaps the ominous feeling he had sensed emanated from the remains of the man named Orobis Angmar who was behind him. So he cut the remains instead of the fairy.

‘I just thought I was mistaken.’

However, it was clear that whatever the half-fairy was preparing was something ominous. Had Super Sense ever screamed like this recently?

‘It must be stopped.’

That magic.

No, there was a palpable sense of malice emanating from the half-fairy’s very presence.

And it seemed that this malice was of the same kind of nightmare that had continued to haunt Opal and his allies, even after the war had ended.

No way...!

Opal extended his arm.

This time, he was prepared to sever the half-fairy’s neck, channeling his murderous intent into a sword. His body was already battered.

Yet he had no doubt that his life existed solely for this moment.

Pababat-!

It was then something flew and pierced his broken body. Turning his head, he saw his younger sister watching him from the darkness.

The magic engineered heart attached to his chest. To think she would aim and shoot precisely at it.

“Yes, you have always had the edge in archery. But—”

─You cannot block my ultimate blade.

Finally, Opal unleashed the intangible sword.

In his mind’s eye, the blade would slice through the half-fairy’s thin neck and scatter blood.

Hwichong—. The half-fairy’s body trembled violently.

However.

He did not fall.

“What...!?”

Then the half-fairy shouted.

“Everyone, get away!”
