The Villainous Young Master’s Life in Another World

48

A giant with the standard appearance of a demon race burst forth from the summoning circle, wielding a dark crimson sword. With red wings, he soared into the sky and then, with astonishing speed, slashed his sword towards Leo.

A trace of solemnity appeared on Leo’s face, but he did not retreat. A few fifth-tier students wanted to help him, but Leo signaled them not to.

The five who had summoned the Lord of the Abyss were panting from exhaustion, only able to find a safe place to hide and recover.

But what a coincidence, the place they chose to hide was exactly where Gu Ming was crouching in the grass.

Staring at each other, the five of them were taken aback, not expecting to encounter Gu Ming, the sixth man.

“Boss, this…”

“Tsk, bad luck, kill him.”

Gu Ming was also helpless. What could he do? He really hadn’t planned on licking the package today, but fate had it delivered to his doorstep, and not taking advantage seemed almost like a disservice to the rare favor bestowed by the heavens.

With a mood slightly tinged with gloom, he had no choice but to send them to meet God with a single stroke of his sword.

Experience points increase…

“Ah, thanks to the bounty of nature,”

Gu Ming sheathed his sword at his waist and continued to squat in the corner, watching Leo’s performance.

Leo battled with the Abyssal Lord.

Before the battle began, Leo took a deep breath, gripped his longsword tightly, and made thorough preparations.

The Abyssal Lord, on the other hand, sneered, waiting for Leo’s attack.

Leo’s Alatron cut through the air, thrusting straight at the Abyssal Lord’s chest.

However, the Abyssal Lord easily dodged Leo’s attack, countering with a sword strike that sent Leo flying.

After tumbling a few times, Leo stood up again. The Hero’s Body autonomously activated, adjusting his breathing before slashing forward once more. Leo’s Snowstorm Sword Technique was executed to perfection, inflicting significant damage on the Abyssal Lord.

Unfortunately, the level difference wasn’t so easily compensated for. Leo was caught off guard and sent flying by the Abyssal Lord’s sword once again, looking somewhat disheveled, but his powerful Hero’s Body staunchly withstood the onslaught.

Gu Ming watched from the side, continuously marveling,

“A hero indeed is a hero. I’ve already intercepted your Meteor Four Style, and yet you’ve managed to learn such a formidable sword technique. Impressive! I thought being one against five was badass enough, but you’ve managed to wear down a fifth-tier demon to death. Tsk tsk tsk, I absolutely cannot allow such a badass person to exist. Watch me add a little something extra, heh heh heh.”

Gu Ming first looked around to make sure no one noticed, then a wisp of black energy surged from his hand, slowly drifting towards the Abyssal Lord.

As the black energy entered its body, the Abyssal Lord shuddered. Though it didn’t understand what had happened, its condition indeed improved, and it let out two loud roars of delight, its sword strikes against our classmate Leo growing faster.

At that moment, Leo was baffled. He had clearly seen the creature weaken to the brink, and in just a few short seconds, something had happened to change it so drastically.

After hiding his skills and fame, Gu Ming, to create an alibi, even picked out a few fifth-tier black-robed men to strike down. After all, it was also a matter of experience points, not to be wasted.

The black-robed men were spitting blood. They had been dueling one-on-one just fine until then.

Gu Ming, this unscrupulous fighter, not to mention his higher level, also ambushed them.

Most importantly, this lad liked to target below the belt. In the end, each of the fifth-tier black-robed men had a Dabao sword stuck in their rear, presenting a deathly sight too gruesome to behold.

With Gu Ming and his classmates’ pressure greatly reduced, Leo’s situation worsened. Originally, Leo’s strategy of trading wound for wound was fine, but now, with Gu Ming’s meddling, this method was clearly no longer viable.

Up to now, he was all question marks.

“What exactly is going on? Why has its condition suddenly recovered? Could it be some unknown mutant species?”

Unable to figure it out, he stopped thinking and, gritting his teeth, faced it head-on.

The Abyssal Lord let out a roar, its great sword slashing down towards Leo’s head. Leo pushed the Snowstorm Sword Technique to its limit, barely seizing the chance to fight back. In the end, both the lord and he were gravely injured, gasping more than breathing.

Bearing the pain, Leo prepared to deliver the final blow to gain experience points. But then, unexpectedly, Gu Ming, who had been ready to swoop in for the loot, struck the Abyssal Lord’s skull with his sword, severing the demonic head.

Experience points gained…

“Ah, Leo, you’re so badly hurt. Are you alright?”

Gu Ming approached with a grin, intending to help him up. Leo was furious, wanting to cleave him with his sword, but he couldn’t; after all, Gu Ming had come to help him unknowingly.

Or so he thought.

“Leo, your health is important. You need to rest now, leave the rest to me. Hey, you over there, come and take care of our friend Leo. He seems to be struggling.”

A student with an ordinary face took Leo from Gu Ming’s hands. Without giving Leo a chance to refuse, he was taken away.

“Sigh, I’m too kind-hearted, taking such good care of my own enemy.”

Gu Ming looked at the remaining robed figures and couldn’t help but smirk viciously.

“Heh heh heh, all this is a big chunk of experience.”

Gu Ming mercilessly reaped their lives, and for a moment, the screams were incessant, blurring who was on the besieging side.

Above, the veteran players Dan and Eric’s strength was unquestionable, as Xuanwu and Suzaku were beaten back step by step.

But their initial goal wasn’t to save Seig; it was to leave him here forever.

After a few more rounds of combat, the opportunity to kill Seig quickly presented itself.

“Xuanwu”

“Has arrived”

Xuanwu forcefully caught the strike from the two, seizing the opportunity, Suzaku launched a dark flame bullet towards our unfortunate Sage.

“No, no, you’re not playing fair, breaking the bridge after crossing, ah ah”

Sage thus turned to ash amidst painful cries.

“Retreat, the mission is complete”

Xuanwu was no fool, quickly creating distance before making a run for it, but Dan and Eric, having just been duped, were not about to let them get away so easily.

In the end, it cost Xuanwu an arm to escape with everyone.

Seeing the disappearing crack in the sky, Eric felt stifled, slashing his sword at a nearby boulder.

“Damn, they got away”

“It’s okay, it’s okay, old Eric, let’s go check on the students”

Eric sighed, only able to note this grudge in his heart.

With the two joining the battlefield, those miscellaneous soldiers who hadn’t escaped in time could only regretfully become prisoners, facing the harsh interrogation that awaited them.

The matter of the Barbarian Bear territory was officially brought to a close, and the students all went back to their respective homes.

As for those unfortunate students who died in battle, the academy would send a considerable consolation payment to their families.
