I Am The Game's Villain

Chapter 131 [Event] [Milleia Sophren] [8] Arvatra

”Milleia! Hey!” Eric shook Milleia to wake her up but she seemed unconscious.

”I-Is she alive?” I asked while wiping the blood on my lips.

Eric nodded at me. ”Yeah…she protected us and you protected her. You did it purposefully…right?”

”Yeah.”

Obviously, Milleiaʼs safety was the priority for me so I protected with even more mirrors. I looked at Milleiaʼs face. Blood was bleeding from her forehead and nose. I gritted my teeth, seeing that. This whole world was against us. I felt like it was even more dangerous than in the Game. 

”Interesting.” Suddenly clapping sounds echoed.

”Iʼm honestly surprised that you survived this attack,” A man in dark blue armor said. He had black hair and deep green eyes. He seems to be in his early twenties, a few years older than me but he was extremely strong. I could feel it.

Anyway, he and his mates were also in that dark blue armor which had a dark blue wings engraving in the chest part, showing and confirming that they were from the Arvatra Empire. 

”Oh, isnʼt that the escaped rat? He joined with other rats, I see.” The man smiled seeing Eric glaring at him while clenching his injured arm from before.

”Who are you?” I asked though his face seemed familiar to me…

The man shifted his gaze toward me and smiled. ”It will be Lord Melvin for you. Melvin Troyen, a Commander of the Arvatra Imperial Army.”

”Melvin…?” Now, I was sure. I definitely heard about him.

”Yeah…” Eric nodded at me. ”You remember that Prince of Arvatra? He is his bodyguard and advisor.”

Now that Eric said, I could remember a little about him. He was that annoying guy always with that arrogant Prince of Arvatra. Was that bastard who sent him here?

”Why did you attack us?” I asked with a threatening tone. 

”Why?” Melvin sighed and drew his sword from his waist. ”I am here for that.” He pointed at the Golden Grasses which were scattered on the ground after Milleia lost grip on them.

That B*tch-!

Before I could turn back my eyes on him, Melvinʼs figure blurred and he appeared next to Eric who was kneeling besides Milleia. Eric immediately protected his face when Melvinʼs leg reached him at a sonic speed.

-BOOOM!

With a loud boom, Eric was flung away and crashed on a tree. ”AGH!”

”What a beautiful girl…” Melvin muttered seeing Milleiaʼs unconscious face. ”But…she is no match in front of our Princess.” He added and picked up all the Golden Grasses.

-BAM!

I swung my white staff and despite Melvinʼs attempt to block it only with his hand, he slid back several meters away. ”Give them back.”

”That weapon…” Melvinʼs eyes scanned my staff. He tried to grab it but-

”Anathemas Fire,” It wasnʼt time to hold back. Those guys were really trying to kill us.

”!” When a purple fire started enveloping the staff, Melvin swung his sword at my neck, clearly to kill me. 

”Reflect.” I summoned a mirror next to me and the mirror reflected Melvinʼs attack. The sound of a sword slicing skin rang.

Silence befall right after that and only the rustling of the forestʼs treesʼ leaves disturbed that silence.

”W-What happened?”

”Commander Melvin…is injured?”

”I-Impossible…”

His knights couldnʼt believe what they were seeing. They seemed to hold their Commander to high respect. 

”You have two Legacies…” Melvin stepped back and wiped the blood on his cheeks, revealing the fresh scar. ”I canʼt believe someone like you is roaming around in a lost forest like that.”

”Eric, you slept enough.” I ignored Melvin and called out to Eric.

”I know…fuck it…” Eric stood up and spat blood. ”I understand who you are now.” 

Well, the moment I revealed the Anathemas Fire, it was easy for him to guess who I was.

”We donʼt have time for that. Can you bring Milleia out of here? I will buy some time.” I asked him in a serious tone. 

I knew I couldnʼt beat that guy who was at least 2 Ascensions higher than me but I had to guarantee Milleiaʼs safety first. As for how Iʼm going to escape, I still had the LifeStone for one attempt.

”Are you serious? You canʼt beat them alone.” Eric said.

”I know but I have a way to escape. Just take her away-”

”No.” But Eric cut me off. ”I have a way to bring all of us out of here but I need time. Just two minutes.”

I was surprised at his words.

He seemed confident and his solution seemed better than mine.

”Alright,” I nodded and swirled my staff before pointing at Melvin. ”You attacked Eric while knowing well, he is the son of the Duke Scarlett? You sure have guts.” I scoffed at them.
