The Baddest Villainess Is Back - Chapter 90
“Lady, what did you just say?”
He asked quietly, lowering his head.
Roxelyn looked at him indifferently.
“Hmm. How much do you know?”
“Who knows. Who exactly am I, and how much exactly do I know?”
“Roxelyn…!”
Before her evasive words could settle, a fierce storm erupted in front of her.
“How dare you…!”
The face twisted in rage and the eyes dripping with fury belonged to Arma, yet did not feel like they were Arma’s.
“…Arma?”
“Since you never came back, I went looking for you…”
Arma, who had muttered softly, drew his sword and charged at Aximus.
Roxelyn swallowed, watching the blur of Arma and Aximus’s battle move at an invisible speed.
“Who in the world are you?!”
“Ah, the young ones these days are so full of energy~ I’m too old for this, my body creaks and groans…”
The man retreated, escaping from Arma while speaking.
Arma hesitated to use his abyss reflexively in chasing the elusive Aximus.
‘He’s strong.’
Arma narrowed his eyes.
But the man was manageable.
If not for Arma being restrained.
However, activating his Abyss here and revealing his abilities would inevitably entangle Arma in troublesome affairs.
“Hey!! Which son of a b-tch is daring to lay hands on our delicate lady!! Do you want to die?!”
BOOM—!!
From outside, belatedly hearing the commotion, Kaluta’s Sanja unleashed a punch that cratered the ground.
“…Oh. Silver hair… Could it be a Kalutan?”
“Yeah, you fxxxing bastard. Just what baseless act were you committing on our lady, who looks like she could be blown away by a breeze? Today’s the day of your death, you fxxxer!”
“What brings beast cubs from the jungle all the way here?”
“Who’s calling who a beast, huh? You’re worse than a beast!”
Sanja grabbed the man by the scruff of the neck, threw him out of the lodging, and chased after him with a leap.
“What’s with the lady?”
Silence met the voices from outside.
“Roxelyn…! Are you alright? Are you hurt?”
“I’m fine.”
“This is truly unexpected. Well, this much excitement is good. Alright, alright.”
Laughter from the man echoed as Sanja seemed to be dealing with him outside, followed by screams and explosive sounds.
“Hey, you need backup there?!”
“What a joke! This is my prey, you brats. Don’t touch him! I’ve finally found something interesting after so long.”
The Kalutans exchanged giggles among themselves.
“…That’s a relief, Roxelyn.”
Arma gripped Roxelyn’s hand tightly.
‘Had I been a little later…’
Roxelyn would have been dead.
She knew this too, yet her faint smile jolted Arma’s heart.
“I’m okay, so don’t worry.”
Roxelyn spoke with an even tone.
Arma’s face crumpled instantly. He hadn’t expected thanks…
But he hadn’t wished for such a clear boundary either.
“Hey lady, whatever happens from now on is all because of you.”
A voice echoed in her ears.
“So today is—”
“Today is the day of your death, you bastard!”
With a voice muttered as if being chewed and swallowed,
Rumble—
BOOOOM!
Brilliant lightning tore through the sky, followed by a downpour of violet rain.
“Roxelyn, are you okay?”
“You don’t seem to be hurt.”
Roxelyn’s eyes widened.
“…Father?”
Zerti Bellion, who should not have been here, came into view.
