I Reincarnated as a Villain of an RPG, But I Want to Survive - CH 82

Selfless appeal

Scary, Hakukyoku Tenko is scary

As expected of the last boss. I thought that I have gotten immunity since I have always been in contact with a last boss, but 『4』’s last boss is nothing compared to 『3』’s

After all, he’s not the complete last boss unless he’s completely eroded by the beast aura

It’s incomparable to Hakukyoku Tenko, who is a complete last boss from the beginning

In the first place, she is a beast who has obtained intelligence by living for thousands of years

An existence comparable to god, there are only 2 beasts who have reached that level: Hakukyoku Tenko and Tanu-sage

To circumvent beast god Beast, I obtained the beast piece to gain holy beast mode. However, they are the existences called divine beast or heavenly beast, who have exceeded that

Since they were originally beasts, they were followers of beast god. However, they no longer have to obey him as their power have exceeded him

Ultimate existences

「By the way……?」

I look around

It is disrespectful as I’m in front of an existence equal to god. However, exactly because I’m in front of such existence, understanding the situation is a matter of life and death

「This place is……!?」

The scenery I saw was indoor

Moreover, there are wooden floor, Shoji screens, vermilion-painted handrails and plastered walls

The architectural style is pure Japanese style……, or more precisely, Heian palace style

It’s indoor, but the room is unbelievably wide, the ceiling is high

That’s why Hakukyoku Tenko with her nine serpent-like tails can easily stay inside

Moreover, although it’s indoor, there are several sakura trees, and the falling sakura blossoms are scattering beautifully

This is not a normal space

「This place is……」

I remember

This is 『Beast Fantasy 3』’s last dungeon, 『Infinite lost hall』。

Was it revived together with its lord, Hakukyoku Tenko?

This is a room without limit, created by the distortion of space

I was freely falling a while ago, but it’s understandable if it’s the invitation to this special dimension

『Are you thinking of escaping?』

「!?」

I was shocked as she hit the bull’s eye suddenly

「no no no no no! How can I be such impolite……!?」

『No need to be scared. You are the benefactor who broke that annoying seal and freed me, aren’t you? There is no way I can reward you with punishment』(1)

They are the same word, right?

The meaning of reward and retribution is used depending on the context, but I feel they are the same

『Honestly, I was sealed and was unable to do anything with my power. By those who cut a part of me down and sealed me, a young man and a young girl……』

It’s about Raiga and Kuzuha-san

The implied last battle of 『Beast Fantasy 3』

『Because that seal was granted by god of event Rafar, even I can’t move my hands and legs. There is no other way than breaking it from the outside, but it can’t be done by some half-hearted person……you are an amazing guy contrary to your appearance』(2)

Being called 『Amazing』 by the most amazing existence in the world

Can I boast about it?

No, this is not the time for such foolish talk

I want to finish my business and return soon

「Your gratitude for breaking the seal……I’m sorry for my impoliteness, but I have a request」

『There it comes』

The youko’s expression looks like she’s saying “as expected”

『Well, if you are saving me, it’s natural that you are calculating something. There is no one who would save this Hakukyoku Tenko for free』

「Please don’t lose your nerve by some weird feeling……」

This absolute being, the more we talk, the more troublesome it becomes

Let’s get right to the point

「Your other self, the head of Ninetail, Kuzuha has died」

『Hou……』

「A normal person can’t be revived if they are dead. But if it’s your other self, the immortal, indestructible you can revive her with your divinity, right!? Then please! Please revive Kuzuha-san!!」

『No』

An immediate reply

She refused with all her might

『I think I can grant all the wishes of the benefactor who broke the seal, but that is out of the limit. Think about it. That Kuzuha is one of the perpetrators who sealed me. If you are my benefactor, she is my enemy』

「Yes……」

『Why would I save my enemy? Rather, I’m satisfied to hear they had a bad time. Refreshing!……So refreshing』

I can’t say anything because it’s too correct

That is right

I have many things to say, but it’s true that Hakukyoku Tenko and Raiga-Kuzuha couple had fought each other

It’s unreasonable to tell the loser to not hold a grudge

『…………Then?』

「Yes?」

『Kuzuha was dead, but how about Raiga? Did they go to the other world together?』

「No, Raiga is still living in this world. But the sorrow from losing his beloved one is deep, it’s not strange for him to follow her eventually」

『…………』

Hakukyoku Tenko remains silent for a while……。

『……Hmm, serve them right. That is the retribution for opposing this heavenly beast, this Hakukyoku Tenko, isn’t it? The sorrow of my hateful enemies is sweeter than nectar! Hohohohohoho!』

As Hakukyoku Tenko laughs, the surrounding space also laughs itself like an echo

This 『Infinite lost hall』 is a different dimension created by Hakukyoku Tenko’s youkai power

It directly reflects her emotion, as a part of Hakukyoku Tenko

For a trespasser like me, that is nothing but eerie

『…………The best thing is that it saves my effort to revenge. And you, I’m satisfied, so you can go home』

「I can’t do that. I take the risk to unseal you for that reason. I can’t go home without any result」

Hakukyoku Tenko, the last boss of a title, who once tried to destroy the world

Breaking her seal is, in a sense, the evilest act

At least, if Tanu-sage knows that, I will be beaten to pulp for sure

『You talk too much』

The air cracked

『I am in a bad mood. Don’t be conceited with this debt of gratitude, lowly human!』

Hakukyoku Tenko, who was elegant like a goddess until now, suddenly released her beastly intimidation

Disappear if you don’t want to die

It’s as if the whole space is screaming so

「…………I used to think that it’s okay as long as I survive myself」

It was at the start

I reincarnated to this world, predicted the ruined future and struggled to avoid that

「On the way, I met various people and was helped……each time I think about that, I wonder if it’s okay for me to be saved alone」

I have a cute little sister

I have a junior disciple, who is like a younger brother to me

I have friends who tried our best together to climb up from the start

I have to wives

There are also two generation of rulers, who I don’t mind serving although I said this and that to them

「I don’t want to survive alone. I want to go to the happy future with all of them. I won’t abandon anyone for that」

In order to save Sero and Raiga, the dead Kuzuha-san must be revived by any means

If Hakukyoku Tenko is only one person in this world who can do that……

「I will have you grant my wish no matter what……!」

『What are you saying』

Hakukyoku Tenko shows a shocked expression……。

『That is certainly Raiga’s wish. That is the wish of another person, isn’t it? You want to seriously fight for another person’s sake. That’s selfless……？』

The nine serpent-like tails begin to wriggle

『Then try it? How much is your selflessness? Will you worry about another person when your arm is torn? Will you worry about them when your leg is crushed? How far can you love other person than yourself? If your feeling is not changed even when your head is smashed, it’s real!』

It has come to this after all……!?

I have partly prepared, but it seems like I must fight Hakukyoku Tenko to make her grant my wish

『Then fight! Show your resolution to this Hakukyoku Tenko! In the event where you convinced me splendidly! I won’t be hesitant to grant your unreasonable demand!!』
