I Reincarnated as a Villain of an RPG, But I Want to Survive - CH 81
Youko’s resurrection
『Beast Fantasy 4』 is the story ten years after 『Beast Fantasy 3』
They are connected in chronological order, therefore it’s possible to walk normally to places appeared in the previous work
Well, walking would take too much time so I just changed to holy beast mode and ran……
I have arrived
And as expected, it’s here
「The sealing stone of Hakykyoky Tenko……」
Currently, before my eyes stand a megalith that can be mistaken as a hill
It’s at a corner of another continent far away from the empire, but this is the site of what was once the last dungeon of 『3』, 『Infinite lost hall』
There is nothing left but this megalith though
The dungeon formed within a subspace by wrapping the dimension with the great youkai power of the heavenly beast Hakukyoku Tenko had disappeared without being able to maintain its existence due to the loss of its master
Now it has become a huge rock which is the ruin of the said tenko (1)
「Hakukyoku Tenko was sealed in this rock, huh……!?」
It is the last scene of 『Beast Fantasy 3』 if I remember correctly
Hakukyoku Tenko who tried to destroy humanity for some reasons was defeated by the power of love of the hero of salvation Raiga and her traitorous bunshin Kuzuha who felt in love with Raiga (2)
As the result, she was sealed
This towering megalith is the keystone that sealed Hakukyoku Tenko
I don’t know if she was locked up inside the stone, or if she was buried under the stone though……。
Anyway, I have no choice but to break the seal and ask her to grant my wish
……
「……Is it OK to do this?」
Even if it’s for peace, I will have to unseal the great heavenly beast that once intended to destroy mankind and release her to the world
It’s not like I didn’t think this is an extreme case of getting one’s priority backwards
But, in order to save Sero and Raiga who tormented themselves, I have no choice but to call back the important person for both of them from the realm of the dead
This is not just for my own peace
Now is the time to correctly fix the future distorted by the shitty game developers!
「Ok! Let’s do this! Time to unseal the worst evil god Hakykyoku Tenko!!」
What I’m about to do is almost villainous
Well, I’m a villain from the start though
『Holy beast wisdom ceremony <Sonezaki Shinjuu>!!』
I instantly use the final technique of my holy beast mode
The fang of demon rat that can scrape off the space mercilessly cut the megalith, bisected it in half!
……or so I thought
It was indeed cut, but it’s just a small cut like being shaved off by a chisel
『As expected of the seal that imprisoned the great youko…… It won’t break that easy……!?』
No, legally speaking, it is absurd that my strongest technique can only deal a shallow cut
『Then I will repeatedly use it until it’s completely destroyed! Holy beast wisdom ceremony <Sonezaki Shinjuu>!!』
I unleashed another indefensible, space-scrapping blow
『< Sonezaki Shinjuu >!! < Sonezaki Shinjuu >!! < Sonezaki Shinjuu >!! < Sonezaki Shinjuu >!! < Sonezaki Shinjuu >!! < Sonezaki Shinjuu >!! < Sonezaki Shinjuu >!! < Sonezaki Shinjuu >!! < Sonezaki Shinjuu >……!!』
Normally, I would put up a note 『A good child shouldn’t imitate something like breaking the seal of a last boss!』, but I would receive a retort like 『Who the hell can imitate that?』 instead for sure
The ultimate technique that can surely kill almost any enemies upon hit need to be used repeatedly, otherwise the seal won’t break……
But as the result, a huge crack ran through the sealing stone
One more……
『Holy beast wisdom ceremony <Sonezaki Shinjuu>!!』
With the final attack using all my power, the sealing stone was splendidly smashed
It was absurdly hard
Well, it wouldn’t be able to seal the great youko unless it was this much……!
Once again, the feeling of 『Did I just do something outrageous?』 arises
「It should be okay? I’m sure……!?」
While releasing holy beast mode, I watch over the development……
「……!?」
Suddenly, there is a change on myself!?
Just when I thought there is a strange floating feeling, the ground has already disappeared!?
「Oooooooooohhhh!?」
And then, I’m head over heels
Falling
Just a while ago, I was certainly standing on the ground, but suddenly there was a hole under my feet and I fell down like being sucked into it
As if I had fallen into the trap of a person who can freely control space
While thinking about that, I’m still falling
It’s not just some normal fall either. Perhaps the gravity is being manipulated, there is no response even when I turn into holy beast mode to reduce the falling speed
At this rate, even if I have flying power like Grey Ryuuga, I wouldn’t be able to oppose……。
Then finally……
『ngueee!?』
The fall stopped
I hit the bottom. Without the strengthening of holy beast mode, I would become smashed potato……
「I have fallen to the bottom? Where is this place……?」
Considering I have fallen starting from the ground, this should be underground?
But considering the fall time, this should be quite deep?
Like the bottom of hell?
『Plucking the spring-blooming flower……』
!?
Just now, that terrible chill……!?
『Over million years of love……. That feeling, do you think it’s foolish, or not?』
I realized as I was called out
Before me stood a terrifying heavenly beast
「This is……Hakukyoko Tenko……!?」
The ultimate existence surpassing beast god Beast……!?
Although she’s said to be a fox, her figure is of a beautiful woman
It’s said that a fox who has lived thousands of years will gain the transforming art, but the fox beauty in front of me can be called the ultimate transformation, it’s the beauty that makes people forget to breathe
The golden, sparkling long hair that fall down to the ground, the shining white skin that surpasses even the fresh snow (virgin snow) (3)
Perhaps due to being a fox character, she has the oriental feeling by wearing the clothing that resembles the Juunihitoe of the Heian period
However, perhaps she is not strictly particular about the clothing, her bewitching thighs and breasts can be seen through the gap of her clothes
And more importantly, the symbol of youko
There are nine tails extending from the butts, which match the legend. However, these fox tails are terribly huge
Each of the tails is as big as a large serpent, far exceeding the physique of the real body
Or maybe dragon? Anyway, they are that big
And there are nine of them
If it’s a silhouette quiz, there would be many people answering it’s Yamata-no-orochi rather than a nine-tailed fox
That’s how much the scale of the tails are
『……Hey』
「!?」
As I was too overwhelmed, the voice of Tenko-sama resounds
The tone seems to be really moody!?
『Won’t you quickly answer my (warawa) question? Is the thousand-year love futile? Or is it not?』(4)
「There is no love that is futile!!」
I answer
And I am confident in the answer. It would be a dead end if I made a mistake in this dialogue.
It is a common situation in various adventure games, but this is the first time it actually happens for me
And then, I once again realize the unreasonableness
「I certainly understand that feeling! I came here because I believe it!」
『…………』
Tenko-sama is silent
What’s wrong? Did I make a mistake?
My life will be Bosshoot? (5)
While I’m scared, the fox beauty has a bright smile……。
『Exactly, there is no such thing as futile love. I also believe so and continue that feeling for thousands of years. We can get along』
「Thank you!」
……Sweet
The youkai aura released by Hakukyoku Tenko would make people forget to breathe and eventually faint
For the first time, I experience the feeling that I will stop breathing if I don’t keep it in mind
I trained under Tanu-sage, studied holy wisdom art and even acquired holy beast mode, but I can’t help but to flinch before Hakukyoku Tenko
Although I was that insolent before the emperor!
Seeing me like that, the gigantic youko laughed……。
『You don’t need to be so humble. This intelligent me can guess who is the one releasing me from that abominable seal. I won’t be uncourtly toward my benefactor』
「Is, is that so……!?」
『I will overlook one of the failed answer』
Then, what if I make the second mistake!?
(1): Basically, youko is a fox youkai, and tenko is heavenly fox (higher ranking youko).
(2): As noted in previous chapter, bunshin mean a clone/other self. However, since they are technically not clone (clones are supposed to be similar but it’s not the case here) and typing “other self” is bothersome so I will use “bunshin” in the future
(3): In Japanese, virgin snow means the freshly fallen snow that no one have stepped on yet
(4): “warawa” is a really old way of saying “I” in Japanese. Tenko herself also use word like “noja” or “nu”, which are also old way of speaking.
(5): It’s basically a way of saying “I will lose my life”. The “Bosshoot” refer to a game show where the doll of the player will be taken away if they answer wrong
