My Destiny To Be Loved By The Villains[part 1 Complete ]

Chapter 95: Gaslighting (1)

༺ Gaslighting (1) ༻

Blue body fluid splattered in all directions.

Inside my arms, I could see Riru with her mouth agape. It was understandable, after all, the same being that she and Talion desperately tried to run away from had suffered such a fatal wound from just a single strike.

"..."

I turned around while making sure my mask was still on.

Beyond the tsunami, I could see a boat skipping across the water, approaching us from a distance.

At the forefront was Yuria, Severer drawn in her hand.

"Heup!"

First thing first. The loot.

I caught the Sea Serpent's severed foreleg that had begun to fall down after that one blow.

'Gottem.'

A dragon's body was an equivalent to a treasure chest. All parts of its body could be used in a variety of ways.

The materials I had collected so far would undoubtedly come in handy at some point.

'...That aside...'

'Sheesh, it really only took her a single strike...'

Most weapons wouldn't even scratch its scales. Too bad it had to face a monster who was able to slice through an Automaton made of Starsteel with a single strike, well under the condition that her target was within her range.

"..."

'Huh? There was that kind of effect? First time I've ever heard about it...'

Imagine if I hadn't given her the Starsteel Circlet to remove the side effect where she'd indiscriminately slash anyone in her sight... Something horribly wrong might have happened long ago...

'...Still, the fortunate part is...'

With this kind of power, it wouldn't be too difficult to engrave the 'Imprint' on the Sea Serpent as I originally intended.

Even in the game, certain Demonic Creatures, to be exact, those powerful enough to receive special treatment, could be engraved with special Imprints through battles. Using said Imprints, one could partially release a set of 'interactions.'

Those interactions included taming them as mounts, summoning them during battles or receiving special items from them.

In the Sea Serpent's case, the Imprint made it harbor an intense sense of 'wrath' towards the opponent who inflicted severe injuries upon it.

-!!!!

The Sea Serpent's eyes flashed with rage as it turned towards Yuria.

Although one of its forelegs was severed, the bastard was technically still a dragon. It still possessed a tremendous combat po—
