Transmigrated As The Final Villain of a Death Game-Chapter 152: Setting Out To Meet The Divine Healer [ 1 ]

I stared at my reflection in the mirror and adjusted my clothes slightly.

Yesterday was hell.

But at least now I know how to properly use my energy when using swordsmanship.

It wasn’t that difficult, since all I really needed to do was improve the way I channel my energy into the sword.

Aside from that, nearly a month of training was surprisingly productive.

•——•

Just from physical training alone, I jumped up all the way to Grade 46.

My Sword Saint Gift went up the most, and as for everything else, they barely budged.

Anyhow, I was more than satisfied.

"Are you ready?" Clementine asked from the side.

I turned toward her and nodded.

"Yep. I’m all set."

"Good, let’s get going then. Aliyah’s also ready."

She was about to turn away, but her gaze lingered for a little longer on my face.

Particularly, my beard.

"Are you going to cut it off?"

"Should I?"

She grumbled.

"I don’t know... I kind of like it."

"Then I’ll keep it," I replied with a chuckle.

The beard wasn’t that long, but it did look nice.

It also made me look around 5 years older.

Hehe.

Putting that aside, I turned to my appearance-changing ring and took it off, stashing it inside my dimensional ring.

Clementine did the same and approached me, then hugged me.

She had straightened her hair for once, and like always, she looked beautiful.

But I didn’t spend too long admiring her appearance as I took her hand and finally left the cave.

Aliyah was waiting for us right beside the entrance, holding my black katana.

When she spotted me, she tossed the black katana at me, and I caught it, storing it on my waist.

Surprisingly, she had gotten a sheath made for my katana, and although it was just plain wood, I appreciated it.

"We’ll be leaving from the main path and heading around. Kill everyone you see, and be ready to fight the Holy Knights. There are plenty of them around."

"Got it."

"Okay."

With that, we began walking toward the exit.

But along the way, I couldn’t help but ask:

"If you don’t mind me asking, what happened yesterday? I get that you might not want to stop him, but if the entire Pandora Mountain Range is surrounded, then Eric’s not safe, is he?"

"..."

"He’s still in the mountain range."

She turned her head slightly, her expression cold.

"I turned my family’s home into an intense training ground. I gave him a few techniques to master, and I’ll check in on him in a month. Now stop asking questions."

I let out a sigh.

"My bad." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

It looks like I underestimated her.

Honestly, it was stupid of me to assume she would’ve sent out her little brother to the Holy Knights.

Though, if the demons found Aliyah’s home, what’s to say the humans couldn’t also?

I didn’t bring it up, and instead continued walking behind her until eventually, I felt the space around me shift.

The surroundings changed as well, since it looked like we were no longer in the valley, but near the peak of a mountain.

Glancing down, I spotted several shallow ledges we could climb down from, alongside hundreds of mountains scattered around.

It was a beautiful sight.

But the golden lights on each of the mountain peaks reminded me that we were not safe.

As if on cue, the golden lights all vanished in unison, before reappearing above us.

There were hundreds of Holy Knights dressed in thick golden armor.

Some wielded claymores, while a select few had only a large shield or a powerful-looking pistol.

And almost like they had been waiting for us all this time, they finally unleashed their attacks.

The whole sky was painted in thousands of different colors as bullets, sword slashes, and even regular Gifts descended toward us.

Yet none of us panicked.

BOOOOOOOOOM!

BOOOOOOM!

Surrounding the three of us in my Telekinetic Barrier, I blocked the attacks and even disrupted a few.

But a few seconds was all I could buy, since even if I was strong, I couldn’t take that many Grade 60s at once.

CRACK!

My Telekinetic Barrier cracked, allowing a few attacks to slip through.

Yet as the claymores and bullets neared me, Aliyah calmly stepped forward, her katana drawn.

Then, in one quick motion, she slashed sideways before once again sheathing her sword.

Less than a second later, thin red lines appeared on the necks of every single Holy Knight near us, including a couple of Holy Knights with guns.

And with a simple brush of wind, their heads slid off their shoulders, followed by their weapons and armor shattering.

It all happened so fast that by the time I blinked, the majority of the Holy Knights began hurtling toward the ground alongside their own heads.

Silence descended atop the Pandora Mountain Range as the Holy Knights stared at us with conflicted looks.

Some were afraid, cautious, but there were a few that kept up with their bravery.

And these very same people were the next in line to approach us.

But instead of Aliyah or me dealing with them, Clementine whistled, sending her Soul Sewing Needle forward.

The Holy Knights reacted, trying to shatter the needle before it could pierce them.

Despite their efforts, hundreds of silver weapons suddenly appeared above the clouds.

They all resembled the sniper I had stored in my dimensional ring.

And when I heard the weapons fire, it only confirmed my suspicion that Clementine somehow copied me.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

BOOOOOOOOOM!

Every single one of those weapons was like a miniature orbital cannon, descending onto the unsuspecting Holy Knights and innocently passing through them.

But by then, the souls of the Holy Knights were erased.

Yet that didn’t seem to be the end, though, as Clementine stabbed her needle into the necks of every single Holy Knight whose soul she had erased.

Then, to my genuine surprise, the Holy Knights began moving, except now they had silver flames instead of pupils.

Almost like Clementine had just taken over their bodies.

Though it really did seem like that was the case, as the silver flame-eyed Holy Knights suddenly dashed toward the rest of the regular Holy Knights and began fighting them.

Aliyah and I just watched from the side as Clementine orchestrated the fight, dwindling down the number of the Holy Knights rapidly.

Within just 5 minutes, the remaining Holy Knights had been turned into Clementine’s puppets, and as for those who were lucky, they were cleaved in half and died upon hitting the ground.

Nearly 50 puppet Holy Knights flew up to us and formed a straight line before eventually getting down on their knees and bowing in our direction.

Clementine puffed out her chest.

"What do you think? Neat, right?"

"Well... It’s a little overpowered, no?" I replied, inspecting the Holy Knights.

"Their strength is the same as when they were alive as well. Jeez, Clementine..."

She let out a chuckle, then snapped her fingers, causing every single one of the Holy Knights to abruptly vanish.

Noticing my surprised look, she said:

"After what happened with the Ver... I realized I can alter a lot of things, and even replace souls. I don’t want to get too much into it, though.

Welp.

There goes the small lead I had over her.

She’s stronger than me again.

Aliyah suddenly bonked me over the head.

"Enough chit chat. There were only a few hundred of them here, so if we don’t move now, we’ll be fighting at least several thousand more."

"Ah. Right."

Since the healer’s straight west...

"Let’s leave then."
