Pushover Extra Trains the Villainesses

As a result, Echid’s sword made of mana exploded in vain, and Ophelia immediately attacked, aiming for the gap.

“Damn…”

Khrasp!

The next moment, a spurt of blood erupted from Echid’s chest. However, even though the attack was successful, Ophelia automatically frowned.

‘Too shallow…’

Echid minimized the damage by leaning back just barely. Then, she regenerated her sword by releasing her mana and counterattacked Ophelia. 

In response, Ophelia swung her sword and bounced it off roughly. Although the defense was narrowly successful, Ophelia felt a chill run down her spine every time they clashed.

It was a different feeling from the time she faced Elios the other day. At the time, there was a feeling that Elios had a certain amount of margin and matched this side, even though he clearly had superior skills. 

However, this woman in front of her was attacking with all her might with a clear killing intent.

There was a clear sense of danger you could feel every moment you swung the sword. She put all her strength into the attack without taking care of her body at all. It was a dangerous situation in which both sides could be fatally injured if they made a single mistake. 

But Ophelia still did not lose her cool.

‘Never be impatient… no matter how life-threatening it may be… here, the one who loses their composure first loses.’

Ophelia carefully took each step as if walking on a tightrope. 

Each time, Echid’s attack, filled with murderous intent, aimed at her vital points, but Ophelia calmly blocked it. In the unstoppable offensive of Echid, although there were minor wounds, this much could be conceded. The important thing was to bite off the opponent’s neck precisely at the crucial moment.

Chijijijijjiji!

The swords of Ophelia and Echid collided once again. 

Although, thanks to the overwhelming power of Karl’s Greatsword, Ophelia had an advantage when the weapons collided head-on. However, despite knowing that fact, Echid partially repeated the previous situation. 

And the reason was…

‘The moment that the shadow sword can withstand colliding with that greatsword is about three seconds. But… that’s enough!’

Ophelia was caught by the shadow sword, and her movements were frozen for an instant. 

Watching her like that, Echid instantly increased the length of the shadow sword that had shrunk. 

As a result…

“…!”

The next moment, the shadow sword began to strangle Ophelia from all sides. It looked like an unraveled skein of thread, but the power of condensation contained within it was enough to cut a single person into pieces.

“This is the end…heng!”

But…

The next moment, Echid suddenly vomited blood from her mouth and let go of the sword. At the same time, the shadow sword that was trying to wrap Ophelia disappeared, and Echid’s body lost balance and fell to the floor. 

A wound that seemed to have been pierced by something huge had formed on her chest. But, nothing was visible, and it looked like a wound had appeared for no reason. 

But… Echid knew. 

This blow that mortally wounded her body—the source of it was…

“You… you…this.. no way…”

“I studied…a little. Hiding the presence of mana and extending it to use as a weapon. Although I’m not as flexible as you…”

With those words, Ophelia slowly looked at Karl’s greatsword. At the tip of the sword… a ray of mana that could only be seen in her eyes was pouring out.

“Damn… no way! This… like this I…”

Echid spoke while coughing up blood.

Ophelia spoke in a calm voice as she looked at the woman who could no longer move.

“Then… it would be nice if you could stop talking about it. What is your identity and purpose? If you cooperate, I will end it painlessly with respect.”

“Kuh…heh… that… really… is it a show of mercy..?”

Echid spoke with a smile while interrupting Ophelia. 

At that moment, looking at her, Ophelia’s mind suddenly began to question. Echid’s smile was not one of self-help or despair. It was the smile of an unmistakable winner. 

As a result, Ophelia began to feel sudden anxiety along with doubts, and Echid, as if reading her feelings, spoke in a voice filled with joy.

“I’m sorry… but I won… with this… all I have to do is… all… finished… because…”

“What… no way…”

The next moment, a sudden thought struck Ophelia, and she turned and left without delay. She didn’t even have time to think that she had to put an end to Echid. 

The meaning of her laughter and words, Ophelia realized what it could be.

‘It was a bait? How can such a talented person do that…’

Ophelia completely disappeared from Echid’s sight in bewilderment. 

Seeing this, Echid finally realized that her work had been completed.

‘With this…I’m done… all of them…’

Echid succeeded in buying time by successfully luring Ophelia as planned. All she had to do now was pray for the children who had infiltrated the inn to succeed.

‘Can they do it…? Those children…can they manage… without me…?’

But even knowing that fact, and even though she knew very well that there was nothing more she could do with her body as it was now, Echid couldn’t bear to close her eyes.

‘I don’t want to die… but… those kids… I can’t just leave them like this… no…’

It wasn’t because she was regretting her decision. It was for the fact that she had to leave those children behind in this harsh world. She felt the sorrow and tears flowed from her eyes that could not be closed, and Echid eventually lost consciousness.

At that time…
