I'm a Villainess but So Popular Chapter 37

Episode 37

Translator : Missme Editor : Aru

When a golden tiger, the size of a house, scratched the monster with its front paws, the monster roared and twisted around.

“Cassius!’

I reached for Cassius, who was standing between the monster and me.

“Don’t come!”

Cassius’s raw voice rang in my head. The golden tiger growled at me with its head slightly turned.

But then, the monster rushed forward again.

“Look ahead!”

I stretched out my right hand, recalling the magic circle in my head to invoke magic.

I thought I could just jump out to Cassius’s front and shoot a spark at the monster.

Yeah, I was thinking that’s enough.

Upon hearing my cry, Cassius crouched on the floor and jumped high as the monster approached, sticking out his withered front teeth.

I thought it was fortunate that Cassius responded quickly. I could invoke magic while the monster falters.

“……..!”

But Cassius’ body, which attacked the monster, passed through it.

“What is…?”

For a moment, Cassius’s faint golden hair shone over the monster’s body, fluttering like a cloak made of opaque cloth.

And the monster that passed through Cassius rushed at me at a terrifying speed.

When the magic circle in my head stopped due to confusion, a monster with black hands grabbed my arm and dragged my body.

“Ugh!”

At the same time as the nape of my neck tightened, my vision turned black. AS if the monster had swallowed me completely, the front sight was pitch-black.

I struggled, tried to let go, but the monster grabbed me and wouldn’t let me go.

The lack of oxygen made me feel dizzy. The more I tried, the more the monster choked me, and I felt like I was about to let go of my mind. I closed my eyes, suffering from pain that I had never felt in my life.

‘No…Hurry up and get the magic…..…!’

I tried to come up with the magic circle in my head at a time when my eyes were getting blurred.

And then, the hand of the cold, like a corpse, the unpleasant monster, grabbed my cheek.

“Eugh…”

No matter how much I shook my face, its hands, which would cover half of my face, did not fall off.

And then, soon, its hand turned to my left eye.

‘What the heck….’

Suddenly, the black hand with its fingernails tried to pull my eyelids, forcing me to open my left eye.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a cave-like black mouth, with its sharp teeth, open wide.

A cold sweat broke out from the back of my back in an instant. The mouth was coming very slowly, toward my eyes.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

As I gathered all the remaining power in a faint situation and recalled a magic circle in my head, flames of maximum fire poured out of my hand.

All the cold hands that held me fell, and in an instant, the field of vision brightened.

“Yerine!”

Coming out of the monster’s grip, I rolled on the floor.

“Ahhhh!”

The shoulder hit the stone floor, and a tremendous shock hit the body.

In the meantime, however, I did not stop sending out sparks.

There was a spark on the body of the monster who had been hit by my flame. As the fire spread from the embers slowly eroded the body, the monster flowed down with a strange sound.

As the flames fired intensively in its direction, the monster desperately stuck to the wall to avoid the flames, and soon slipped out of the ceiling behind me.

I soon passed between Rayl and Rachel, who were fighting behind against another monster who flew behind the corner.

I had to go right after them. I didn’t know what’s going to happen if there’s something like that in school.

“Everyone, bend your heads!”

In my words, Rayl and Rachel bowed their heads right away, then I fired sparks squarely at another monster they were dealing with.

At that time Cassius bit the side of the burning monster in the same agony, and the monster fell on the floor, unable to rise into the air.

“Astra and Eugene are still behind!”

When I heard Rayl’s cry, I ran frantically down the corridor.

Turning to the right, I saw Eugene facing the monster, splashing various sparks at the end of the corridor.

On the left, Astra was confronting another monster. As usual, she was in her combat posture with red energy on her two fists, as she did during a battle, and she was watching the monster with sharp eyes and not missing its move.

“Cassius and I will go this way! Yerine, you help Rayl and Eugene!”

Rachel shouted as she pulled out of her fingertips to the left.

“Okay!”

After answering, I ran to join Eugene.

The monster, who was hit by Eugene’s attack magic, was reeling with holes.

“Eugene….!”

Rayl, who was running with him, called out Eugene, who was fighting with all his might spirit.

“Rayl, let’s help him!”

Immediately the flame blew, and the monster rose to the ceiling and escaped out of the window.

Eugene must have been exhausted since he spent a lot of mana. He took a slow breath and looked at Rayl with his blue eyes.

“You guys……have you taken care of all the others?”

The question was answered by Rayl, clasping his hands.

“I don’t know much.”

Then Eugene frowned and gritted his teeth.

“I don’t know what those are, but we have to catch them all right now.”

Eugene rubbed his hands with a serious look on his face.

“It’s all over if they go to the dorm–”

At that moment, Rayl’s face was bathed in astonishment.

A black object suddenly popped out from behind a pillar near where Eugene stood.

“Eugene!”

Eugene, who was only concerned about the front, seemed to have not noticed at all that a monster was approaching behind him.

For a very short time, when Rayl screamed, I saw Eugene’s face turn blue.

Only then did Eugene notice the monster approaching behind him and slightly turned his head. He stared blankly at the black monster with big eyes.

The monster was opening his mouth toward Eugene at a distance of only one meter, and toward Eugene, which was completely hardened, the monsters approached at a rapid pace without hesitation.

The sharp monster’s fangs shimmered in the dreary corridor.

“Eugene!”

I jumped as hard as I could and stretched my arm toward Eugene. I grabbed the collar with fingertips and pulled it back with all my strength.

When Eugene was completely out of my sight, the monster was really just around the corner.

I could hear someone screaming behind me, but I couldn’t understand what he meant.

“……die.”

I muttered a curse and shot a red flame at the monster’s cavernous mouth.

The monster, whose mouth was full of fireworks, roared away in anguish. However, that could not have extinguished the flames that had already been swallowed.

“You…! What are you doing!”

Turning slightly behind to the voice ringing the corridor, Eugene, who had fallen on the ground, was shouting with trembling eyes.

I shouted as hard as I could at him.

“Use magic to make light or heat! Right now!”

The monster was wriggling. But it still had the power to attack us.

“Damn it!”

I heard a curse, and Eugene got up from the floor and stood beside me.

The green spark that popped out of Eugene’s hand hit the monster with my flame all over his body.

The spark, which had never been so bright as to be seen before, gave off a small burst of smoke as soon as it was hit by a monster.

Then the amulet which Rayl had flown was attached to the monster and the amulet that flamed soon poured out white light.

The monster, who was giggling and making a strange noise, fell on the floor with a puff on the spot.

The monster that fell on the floor did not budge and left the flames that were gnawing at its body. There was a smell of burning in the hall, and smoke rose from the body of the monster.

“Gasp…”

With no hands down yet, the three of us kept looking at the monster.

If he wakes up again, it’s over. For about three minutes, however, the monster showed no sign of rising.

“I think…..it’s dead.”

Rayl stammered and said,

At the end of his words, Eugene and I slowly lowered our hands, and according to Rayl’s words, the monster lay down without moving

Then Astra’s voice was heard from behind.

“Guys!”

When she confronted the monster earlier, the eyes of Astra, who was showing great charisma and showing a firm face, were teary.

“Everyone……whoa… You all right? Who’s hurt?”

Fortunately, Astra didn’t seem to have been seriously injured. Rachel also had a small scar on her face, but it didn’t look like it was serious.

Everyone looked back at each other to see if there were any injuries.

As far as I can tell, no one was injured and all of us were able to walk.

“Are you alright? Guys, let’s go to the infirmary right now–”

As soon as I opened my mouth, Cassius, wet with sweat and drooping hair, came to my front. Surprised by the sudden moving Cassius, everyone turned their heads. Soon, Cassius held my face with both hands and shouted, without giving me time to respond.

“Are you.crazy?”

The golden eyes were cool like a beast and the hands holding my face had to strength in it.

“Why did you go forward without avoiding it? What are you going to do if you really die?”

“……I’m not the only one who hasn’t avoided it. Everyone didn’t run away until the end.”

“You were the only one who pushed me ahead when the monster first appeared!”

The wailing voice of Cassius resounded in the hallway.

As he gasped in his wailing, he looked down at me in astonishment and murmured.

“If you die……I…….”

His unsteady twisting voice rang in my ears.
