Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 286

(EP-286.2) King #5

286 – Bandit King #5

A sense of bewilderment began to settle in Tefer’s chest.

This bewilderment wasn’t truly hers but rather an emotion reflected by the voice controlling her – the Demon King’s residual thoughts.

━The imps’ mana isn’t coming to me...!?

Tefer’s gaze shifted to the man sitting cross-legged in the corner of the cave.

He was at that ambiguous age, somewhere between a boy and a young man—quite the volatile range, straddling the line between adolescence and adulthood, as well as a young mage.

The imps were sending their mana not to her, but to the boy. Why!? Tefer couldn’t comprehend it.

━Useless creatures! I am your king! Give me your magic!

Tefer commanded.

But the imps’ tails remained pointed toward the boy. At the same time, the amount of mana being gathered by the boy was considerable.

━What, what is this? What the hell is going on...!?

Tefer’s fingertips aimed at the cross-legged young man.

Rank 6 great spell.

Catastrophe.

Although it lacked sufficient mana for completion, it was originally powerful enough to tear the world apart. Even incomplete, it could easily take off a human head.

Swaaaaash-!

“Where!”

Swaaaaash.

At that moment, something flew toward Tefer’s hand. It was a sharp arrow, shooting through the air and threatening to pierce her palm.

Of course, with her mana shield in place, it wasn’t enough to actually harm her.

But a brief opening had been created.

When Tefer came to her senses, she found herself staring into the piercing blue eyes of the man who had just finished his meditation. In that instant, she knew who the victor of this battle would be.

Power surged through my body.

It had been a long time since I felt this invigorated, and as a result, I was able to complete the spell combination much faster than the 5 minutes I anticipated.

The maximum power that I, who has reached the 6th Rank, could unleash.

This time, I wouldn’t hold back and would unleash it on Tefer.

With that determination, I pointed my tail wand at the puppet mage. Simultaneously, I began chanting.

─Great Spell, Chain Destruction!

The purpose of the spell was simple.

A spell solely for destruction. «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» A ferocious magic, trained with the sole image and emotion of ‘smashing and breaking,’ was now going to rush toward Tefer.

Crackle-!

Finally, from the tip of the tail wand, violet lightning shot toward Tefer.

It pierced through her prided magic shield and struck her frail and fragile-looking body.

━......!

Tefer trembled.

In that moment of complete silence.

━There’s nothing wrong.

She looked down at her body with a puzzled expression, before suddenly bursting into laughter.

━You failed! Fool! There’s no way a desperate move concocted in a rush could affect this body! I am unharmed!

“Of course you’re unharmed. That’s the nature of the spell. My target wasn’t your body, but your head.”

Tap, tap.

I tapped my forehead with my finger.

━What...!?
