Villain of my own novel

A while after Eshwar left.

Katline, Vinny, Jiwoo, Katharine, and Violet had banded together and battled both fiends and demonised monsters.

'Where did Eshwar go?' It's already been ten minutes!! And why is sister Isha only dodging?' Katline mulled.

SWISH (2x)

Katline fired two arrows which bounced off of the fiends heads while Vinny quickly followed Katline and slashed the fiends heads off while retrieving the arrows she fired.

'Good!' she thought.

Her job was to alert her friends if the fiends and demonized monsters came forward, escaping the range of the others, because after a few tries, she discovered that her arrows could not pierce through the hardened muscles of, neither the monsters nor the fiends.

Katline and Violet stood at the end with their backs to a wall, while the others fought the fiends and demonized monsters, keeping them at bay.

Violet had buffs on her friends, and Katline fired arrows at monsters that got past the others, hoping that her friends would be able to slash them if they had the chance.

If they are unaware that the monsters have gotten past them, she would then fire at the monsters they are fighting in order to alert them to the presence of the monsters.

Jiwoo slashed off the heads and limbs of the monsters charging him, Vinny slashed violently, at times strong enough to cause the monsters to explode or create a crater on the ground, and Katharine was a mix of both Jiwoo's and Vinny's attacks, some blunt, crude, but enough to keep them in check before slashing again.

'Around 20 of them are killed, approximately.' Katline thought after giving up on the perfect count of the monster's dead bodies.

'Goddamnit! Where did Eshwar go when you need him?' Katline thought as slowly monsters swarmed them.

"Sister Isha! A bit of your help here, please!" Katline yelled loud enough for Isha to hear.

BOOM (2x)

PLAT (2x)

'Thank god!' Katline exclaimed inwardly as she rolled her eyes.

"Hello, I'm back?" Eshwar's voice came from in between of two high buildings.

'!' 'Wh-what? What's with that blood? Why is it splattered on him?'

***

After teasing Isha for a while, I followed the men as they dashed into the shadowy space between the two tall buildings.

"Do they believe they'll have an advantage in the dark because they're dressed in black?" I mumbled and followed them, my shotgun rested on my shoulder.

I walked into the gap with a yawn, walked in lazily until only one of them was in front of me, he turned and looked at me as his mask stretched a little and his eyes arched.

"Look, considering the circumstances, I'd say you're wearing a smug grin, but I recommend you stop because your face looks like you're struggling to get a big sh*t out..." I said, pointing to his face.

"You!" he roared.

"Hhhyyyaammm~mm.... I'll ask the same question as I asked the last batch..." I said.

"Well, too bad for you; we won't say who sent us, but I'll say they sent us to kill yo-" He was cut short.

"Hmm... I know this dialogue, 'I gave you the reason because you're going to die anyway!' Well, reverse uno for you; my question is, did they warn you before you came here?" I asked.

"...." He squinted his eyes, making the same expression he had made before, and the same expression that everyone else had made before him.

"... Do they teach you that or what?" I asked, taken aback by the repetition of the same expression on everyone's face from before.

"....." He glared at me while his eyes glowed crimson red.

"A fiend, huh?" I thought.

"Give me the earpiece for a bit...." I said.

The man flinched and took a step back, tensing his hand's muscles as black claws grew from his fingertips, blending in with his black outfit.

"Hm? I'll take that as you refusing to hand it over voluntarily." I said and took a step forward, I grabbed the earpiece and slit his neck below his ear with my pinky finger and I stood back at the previous location.

"Huh?" The man exclaimed in shock and looked around to see what had just happened.

I ignored him, placed the earpiece in my ear and heard a woman sigh.

"Hello, darling! It's you again! What a pleasant surprise." I said with a smile.

[Haa..] the woman sighed again.

"How many times does this make?" I asked because everything an ambush took place, I did the same thing every time and heard her voice giving orders to the assassins.

[... About the 10th? I think so...] She answered. Her answer left the other men flabbergasted.

"You have to improvise their training methods! How will I enjoy if you only send weakling? Huh?" I asked.

[.....] She didn't say anything.

"Did you warn them before sending?" I asked.

[... Yes, that they wouldn't leave another day if they don't take you by surprise.] She answered.

"Lol, how could you every take me by surprise? Anyway, can you see me? At least this time?" I said in a dejected tone.

[Yes, we can!] She abruptly roared.

"Don't be so angry. Even if I was the one who gave you the idea, it was for your own good!" I said, leaving everybody flabbergasted.

[.... How so?] She asked.

"Haa.... You're delaying my shotgun's debut, you know?" I sighed.

I could feel that she was doing her best to hold her anger back.

"What do you mean, how?" I'll make you feel the pain just by looking at them scream; the moment you close your eyes, you'll remember the sensation and improve your tactics, at least the next time, and send at least a hundred rank- A's." I grinned the thought.

(AN: WARNING!)

"Now, a note of warning: I'm sorry if you have a vivid imagination. As an example, consider a skin peel near the nail!" I warned 'everyone.'

"Now, it's your turn to feel it." I grinned and approached the man, who was staring at me in bewilderment and fear.

"Do you know..." I asked loudly, snapping him out of his trance.

"Y-yes? You!" After snapping out of his trance, he asked, took a step forward, and launched himself at me.

Others who hid in the shadows slithered out and clawed at me; they had formed a star around me; I released my right arm and the shotgun vanished from it; I kicked the ground and jumped high, doing a spun flip as the wind around me turned white and spun around me, which was mesmerizing even to me.

".... I should try my hand at dancing too." I mumbled.

"I'll ask again, do you know... how they tame an elephant?" I asked, grinning.

They clawed at me without even responding; I noticed claw marks on their hands and realised they have no teamwork and have done everything on their own up to this point.

"Trash, trash, trash, trash and finally, trash." Every time they got close to clawing at me, I flicked my index finger on their forehead while taking a step back to avoid them all.

[.... He is playing with them!] The woman whispered in rage, which wasn't much of a whisper because of her rage.

The first three were the first to uptake and move in a coordinated manner, after a while the two behind them began to move in unison and moved behind me, leaving me with no way out.

I jumped up and did a front flip in mid-air, landing behind them, turned around, and raised my brows at them. They weren't dazed for long this time and dashed at me, clawing while moving in unison.

"Good, good! Now, answer my question before I fall asleep, please." I yawned, taunting them.

"... We f**king don't know!" a man roared while clawing. I grinned.

[....]

".... You'll get to know then!" I came to a halt, raised my hand above my head, they all followed my hand and noticed a wave of white cloud-like smoke hovering over them, with small glass-like needles visible if they looked closely.

"...." I waved my forward and unleashed the spell.

The needles vanished from view as the cloud moved up, piercing all of them but only by half, all of the needles were stuck on them and had turned them into human porcupines.

"Agr?!"

"Uck!?"

"Gaa!"

They groaned and realised they weren't in much pain but couldn't move because their bodies were numb from the cold needles.

"Oh! I'm supposed to announce the name! Teehee." I did a anime girl action.

"Ahem, Rainfall!" I said firm demeanour, ignoring what happened before, leaving everybody flabbergasted.

".... I'll be teaching you only once because you'll be choosing death instead. And that, I assure you." I glared and crouched down at them.

"... You too, will close your eyes once you see this." I mumbled, pointed my index finger at them with my palm facing upward and closed it back, their hands raised into the air because I manipulated mana and lifted their hands up.

"Rainfall." I mumbled it aloud this time, and five needles appeared in front of their index fingers; they gasped and began to wiggle out of it, but nothing else moved except their heads.

[Ugh, No!] The woman muffled yell was heard from the earpiece.

"... You guys understood! Hehehehahaha." I laughed maniacally.

"Yes." I said and slowly needles descended in between their nails.

"Graaaa!!" they yelled in unison.

[... Stop, please stop!] She said, sounded like she had clenched everything that could curl.

"No." I said, and more needles appeared, 5 pairs of hands raised in the air, three needles aimed at each finger, and they descended even more slowly this time.

"Graaaaaaaaa!!!!" They screamed, their faces filled with horror as veins popped up, tears, snot, and saliva streamed out, covering their faces.

[ZZZT] the call ended.

"And, that's how an elephant is tamed my folks." My shotgun materialised in my right hand as I spoke. I approached them, pointed my shotgun at them, and saw relief in their eyes.

"You dare mess with me?...." I asked because I knew they would still be watching.

"I'll soon send your higher ups to you, don't worry." I said and fired my shotgun.

"Grrraaa!"

"Huh?"
