The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick

Chapter 48: It Doesn’t Matter, I’ll Take Action!

The moment the barrier dissipated, everyone present saw the incredibly ugly demon.

Panicked screams, broken sobs, and desperate wails... countless negative emotions instantly swept through the academy.

A few reckless reporters, for the sake of their careers, were still continuously recording everything around them with magic stones.

...

Duke Levi received news from the mage at his side. He waved his hand, and a mage stepped forward to hand him a magic stone.

The transparent magic stone was still flickering, barely able to contain the energy of the images within.

It seemed as if it might explode at any moment.

He took it, smiling as he placed it on the table, and said to Lady Cassandra:

"Madam, I won't say anything unnecessary."

"Please see for yourself."

As he finished speaking, the magic stone emitted a faint glow, and an image projected from it.

The most eye-catching was the enormous demon that blotted out the sky, and beneath it was the imprisoned Professor Devin.

It was hard not to suspect that Professor Devin had some collusion with the demon, given that he could survive being so close to it.

He looked as if he was seeking final refuge under the demon, while around the demon were fully armed knights and mages.

Including that figure in a trench coat.

Viktor Kravina.

Lady Cassandra opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Duke Levi spoke first:

"Lady Cassandra, this is a live broadcast."

"If you're interested, you can enter the city now and go to any news agency. I estimate this image has already spread throughout the capital."

Lady Cassandra bit her lip hard and said to Levi:

"What do you mean? Now you're willing to let me into the city?"

"Of course."

Levi stood up and bowed to her.

"The capital is in danger. As a duke, I should go to provide support."

Having said this, he nodded to Lady Cassandra, preparing to turn and leave, but was stopped by her.

Her eyes seemed to flash with several shades of consideration,

"Devin... is there really no way to save him?"

Duke Levi smiled on the surface, but inwardly he sighed.

She was hesitating.

When Lady Cassandra began to hesitate, it meant that she had started to consider whether the Reiser family really needed to pay too high a price for someone like Devin.

Sacrificing a piece to save the king, cutting off the tail to survive.

Moreover, Devin Reiser wasn't considered an important figure in the Reiser family.

Rather, he was a useless parasite.

Otherwise, Lady Cassandra wouldn't have specially sent him to the academy in the capital to guide him.

So, Levi explained the pros and cons to Cassandra.

"Lady Cassandra, please think carefully. Your son colluding with a demon is no small matter."

"I think His Majesty's close relationship with the Reiser family is not enough to erase the crime of conspiring with a demon to rebel."

"Madam, please consider carefully."

Having said this, he turned around and waved to Cassandra.

The mage beside him waved his magic orb, and a constellation rose in the sky, gradually enveloping the mage team and Duke Levi in blue light.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace.

The knights put away their weapons, donned their helmets, mounted their horses, and gradually left amidst the clamor of hoofbeats.

Cassandra collapsed onto the sofa, covering her forehead, tears streaming down her face, seemingly making some kind of decision.

...

The demon slowly opened one eye.

Its eye was on its forehead, which was also its only way to observe its surroundings.

A huge blue magic array gradually rose from beneath its feet, and this unpleasant smell made it very uncomfortable.

Suddenly, a yellow lightning bolt shot out, hitting the demon with a bang, but to little effect.

A mage's attempt had failed, but this angered the demon.

It became enraged, stretched out its tongue, and swallowed that mage into its stomach.

"Crunch, crunch..."

The sound of chewing mixed with bones breaking lasted for a while, then with a gulp, the demon swallowed.

The mages had never seen such a cruel scene, and many were frightened into screaming.

Even those self-proclaimed righteous knights almost couldn't hold onto their weapons and shields.

Many people cried out in terror, constantly asking questions.

"What on earth is... this thing!?"

No one could answer them.

The people present knew it was a demon, but when a real demon appeared before them, they didn't dare to admit it.

Because it didn't match their imagination of a demon at all, it was more like a world-ending evil god.

A third-tier mage stepped forward and shouted:

"Everyone, don't panic! Stand on the magic array! Our power is gradually recovering!"

"With so many people here, we must be able to defeat this evil demon!"

As the voice subsided, the mages showed no reaction, their morale and actions seemingly unchanged from before.

Seeing the mages in this state, the demon burst into laughter:

"Cowardly humans!"

"You think you're worthy of defeating me!?"

Suddenly, a figure leaped towards the sky like a streak of light.

Everyone noticed that figure.

In contrast to the demon, she appeared incredibly small, yet she sparked a glimmer of courage in countless people.

"Is that... Knight Commander Gwen!?"

Some people recognized her and exclaimed.

The silver sword in Gwen's hand seemed to trigger some kind of power, bursting with white light, as dazzling as a mountain-cleaving blade.

She swung her sword down, fiercely cutting a shockingly long white gash on the demon's body.

The demon was in great pain, its body trembled, and its gaze turned to Gwen.

"Good, very good!"

It spoke as if recognizing something, viciously saying:

"Just a moment ago, I dealt with someone very similar to you."

"It seems you're just as irritating as her!"

Gwen, who had just landed back on the ground, suddenly changed expression. She instinctively thought the demon was talking about Kevlar, and rage consumed her entire body.

But in the next second, the demon's astonishing palm was already swinging towards her.

Gwen didn't dodge, as if she had lost all reason. The long sword in her hand once again transformed into a tens of meters long blade of white holy light, slashing towards the demon.

Bang!

The demon's giant hand swung, swatting Gwen down like a mosquito.

Gwen was smashed into the ground, completely unable to resist, and fell unconscious.

"Knight Commander Gwen!"

Many knights became worried, and even Viktor, who was maintaining the array, frowned.

The demon's laughter came again:

"It looks like you're much weaker than her."

"Not even as good as a fly."

But Gwen's action had bought time for the mages.

Not everyone would be stunned by the demon's solo performance.

Hum hum hum hum——

Countless magic arrays gradually rose from the air, arrays of various colors were constantly forming, and a commanding voice rang out.

"Just like we learned in the academy!"

"Everyone! Fire!"

At the command, magic arrows of various elements flew towards the demon.

It was like a fireworks display, crackling all around.

But the demon merely extended its tentacles and blocked these spells.

There wasn't even a scratch on its tentacles.

The mages, seeing it unharmed, couldn't help but marvel inwardly:

The demon's thick skin was just too tough!

The first round of collective fire had no effect, causing many mages to lose heart, but in the next second, a clearly more professional voice sounded from above.

"Attention everyone! First round of fire!"

Everyone turned to look. It was Duke Levi; he had brought his mage corps to provide support.

The mages were distributed on all sides, completely surrounding the demon, the crystal balls in their hands emitting an astonishing magical glow.

Boom boom boom!!!

More powerful spells burst out from the crystals like elemental cannonballs, and this time the demon was clearly struggling to fend them off.

"Quickly change formation, second round of fire!"

Almost without pause, the second batch of mages replaced the first, and the prepared spells were fired in unison.

The demon didn't even have a chance to retaliate.

"It's Duke Levi! Duke Levi has come with his mage corps!"

Someone in the crowd shouted loudly.

In an instant, everyone's spirits were lifted!

Soon, more and more mages came to support from various parts of the capital.

Countless formations were continuously constructed in the sky, growing in number and power.

The continuous magical attacks left the demon no time to escape. For a moment, everyone felt victory was within reach!

However, this seemed to only exhaust all of the demon's patience.

The demon began to grow impatient.

Thump——

Thump——

A sound like a powerful heartbeat resonated, as if a giant drum reaching to the heavens had been struck.

The demon opened its giant mouth, as if to swallow everyone present.

With a storm-like suction force, it swallowed the knights and mages who were close to it into its mouth.

They screamed and wailed in terror, but were utterly unable to resist, not even able to escape.

The demon's giant mouth was like a meat grinder, cruelly dropping chunks of bloody flesh onto the ground from its mouth, like a starving ghost wastefully eating its food whole.

Fear once again spread over everyone's heads.

"It's over! Our attacks had no effect at all!"

"Too terrifying, is this what a demon is!?"

"Help! Where's the headmaster? Save us!"

"Who else can possibly deal with it!?"

Many mages and students gradually fell into a spiral of helplessness, those with poor mental states even curling up on the ground and crying.

Suddenly, several third-tier mages paused, looked at each other in confusion, and began to shout:

"Where's Viktor!? Where did Professor Viktor go?"

The third-tier mages were all very clear about what kind of existence Viktor was. The direct participation of a fourth-tier mage could possibly turn the tide of battle!

But Viktor seemed to have suddenly disappeared, leaving many people in utter despair.

However, at this moment.

"What's that!?"

"Is that... Professor Viktor!?"

As several students pointed to the sky and began to exclaim, everyone looked up.

At some point, Viktor had appeared in the sky.

The trench coat behind him began to flutter constantly, flashing with an astonishing red light.

Fire, burning up half the sky.

It burned away the filthy ink in the sky, and suddenly a burst of rosy clouds broke through.

It was as if Viktor had set the sky on fire and draped it over his shoulders.

The temperature throughout the entire city began to rise rapidly, becoming extremely hot.

The people present looked and looked, suddenly stunned, their eyes widening as they exclaimed:

"Holy shit! What is that!"

This time, everyone saw clearly, a huge red meteor was falling from the sky.

The target, aimed directly at the demon's giant mouth.
