A World Where You All Are The Villains - Chapter 62.2
“GAAAHHH―!”
A thick, hoarse scream tore through the air.
“What the hell. It was a man?”
Serge muttered in irritation.
And then, whoosh―!
The woman standing on the landing of the stairs above, no, the man.
The hair ability user’s entire body was flung into the air.
As if someone had grabbed him by the hair and hurled him with tremendous force.
BOOM―!
“Kugh―!”
“Kyaaaah!”
With a dying cry, his body fell right onto the heads of the clustered Corrupted.
The Corrupted beneath him collapsed and were crushed like bowling pins.
But it didn’t end there.
Whoosh!
The moment his body hit the ground, it rose back into the air again.
The hair stretched taut, fixed in front of Serge’s face.
Ting, tiiing!
“Ugh! S-Save… save me…!”
The wire-like strands snapped one by one as the man’s body, lifted to its limit, was once again.
Whoosh!
Slam!
Using the rebound from the hair, the speed and force were even greater than before.
Boom―!
“Kugh!”
“Keeeeek!”
The Corrupted beneath him twisted and shattered in grotesque directions.
It was truly a novel method of exterminating Corrupted.
Bang, bang, boom―!
True to his words about paying back twice over, Serge repeated it several times.
Using a human hammer to smash moles, no, Corrupted.
At some point, whether he had passed out or died, the hair ability user stopped making even the slightest sound.
I stood frozen stiff, staring blankly at the horrifying scene.
Then suddenly, something felt wrong.
‘Right. The explosion user…!’
The other one had been too quiet.
The moment I instinctively looked up toward where he was.
Like a wild animal in the dark, I saw a pair of strange orange eyes gleaming toward Serge.
“Y-Your Highness! The explosion…!”
Forgetting that I was supposed to keep my mouth covered, I shouted urgently.
But it was already too late.
BOOOOOOM―!
A massive explosion rang out right beside my ear.
This time, the blast came from the wall immediately to our right.
I screamed and wrapped my arms over my head.
Just as I braced for debris to rain down over me.
“Is this really all the firepower you’ve got?”
“……”
“Tsk, how boring.”
His calm voice filled the space.
For something that had just exploded, the surroundings were strangely quiet.
I slowly lifted my lowered head.
What I saw was a wall that had exploded, but not quite.
That was the only way to describe it.
Flames that had burst outward were frozen mid-scatter, as if held in place by an invisible force.
The shattered wall and fragments of stone remained suspended in the air exactly as they had burst apart.
It looked as if time itself had stopped in that space, and my mouth fell open.
‘…Telekinesis can do this?’
Not just debris, but the force, the energy of the explosion itself…?
It was a level of ability control I had never even heard of, even in the modern world.
A chill ran through me.
The novel had constantly described the male leads as S-rank Awakeners, but seeing it in person was on a completely different level.
It seemed I wasn’t the only one stunned by the unbelievable display.
“W-What… what is that…”
The explosion ability user stammered, his face pale.
“I thought the second one might be different… this won’t do. At least blow up a whole building if you want this to be interesting.”
“W-Why isn’t it exploding…! M-My ability, why…!”
“Step forward, Ducal Lady.”
Leaving the shocked enemy behind, Serge gave me an order.
Without protest, I stepped out from behind him and stood in front.
By now, the Corrupted had all been flattened like pressed meat. Not a single one of them moved.
I deliberately avoided looking at the blood-soaked white robe caught among them.
Then Serge casually waved the hand he had been holding up.
Whoosh―!
At the same time, the flames, the debris, the force in the wall.
Everything from the explosion flew back toward its original owner.
“W-What… aaahhh―!”
Boom!
Fwoosh!
The explosion that had been halted resumed, forcibly, on the man’s body.
Engulfed in flames in an instant, he disappeared into ashes before he could even scream.
“I thought this might be entertaining, but it’s already over.”
Serge muttered with mild disappointment.
“How was it for you, Ducal Lady?”
And kindly enough, he even asked for my opinion.
I couldn’t say anything.
It was a relief that this insane lunatic was on my side.
But.
The number shining above his head was starting to look a little frightening.
