The Extra Villain's Second Chance: A Hero's System-Chapter 38 - 37 - Sealed Demon

[You get +32 Heroic Points.]

When Lev received the notification from the Hero’s System, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

’It seems that Daria managed to escape safely.’

Lev walked over to the magic circle in the center of the field.

’Now, how do I destroy this magic circle?

[Observation - Activated.]

He tried to use his observation skill on the magic circle.

He didn’t have much hope because he thought that observation skill could only be used on other humans. Who would have thought that the observation skill would bear fruit?

[The Origin Sacrifice of Wrath

Type: Sacrificial Magic

Description: A magic that can give the target part of the victim’s body...]

Lev felt he knew why the magic was called The Origin Sacrifice of Wrath.

Perhaps the pain, screams, cries, and wails of the suffering of those people were the fuel that kept the magic circle active... right, it wasn’t just his guess as it turned out.

Despite the notifications that appeared in front of him, a deep understanding of the magic circle began to be engraved in Lev’s head.

Among the information that began to be engraved in his head about The Origin Sacrifice of Wrath magic circle, there was also information regarding the weak parts of the magic circle.

With Lev knowing the weak point of the magic circle, he began to understand how to destroy the magic circle.

He used Mana String to wrap the dagger in his hand.

Then he threw the dagger at the points of weakness of the magic circle.

When Lev threw the Mana String into the magic circle, actually the black color on the Mana String slowly began to fade. Therefore he had to move quickly.

Thwack! Thack!

He threw and pulled the dagger using the Mana String several times.

The sounds that indicated the destruction of the magic circle were heard as he continued to throw the dagger.

Actually, what was destroyed was the paving floor that the magic circle was resting on, but still, the magic circle began to waver. The reddish glow began to fade and the lines on the magic circle began to disconnect until they finally disappeared.

[You successfully neutralized the magic circle of The Origin Sacrifice of Wrath.]

When the magic circle disappeared, the frozen ice block in the center of the field automatically became very visible.

"Just as I thought."

Lev looked at what was inside the giant ice block. He had guessed that what was inside the ice block was something that Andrei was aiming for in performing sacrificial magic. Behind the bluish-white light of the ice block, there was a sleeping demon.

However, unlike the demons he had seen, there was no red color to the skin, and no hideous face that demons usually had.

He was sure that it was a demon only because of the large bat wings on its back, the horns on the head, and the tail at the back. If there were none of those, he would have thought that it was a human.

The skin color, face, and body shape were all the same as a normal human male.

[Razanov Family Art - World of Sword Ice

Type: Sealing Magic

Description: An ice magic that can seal anything. It requires a sacrifice from the caster to activate the magic...]

Seeing the description on the ice block, Lev was completely dumbfounded. His eyes were glued to the name of the magic.

Razanov Family Art, ’Does the Razanov family have this kind of Art? It can even seal away demons...’

He was at a loss for words.

What secrets were there in magic, demons, underground dungeons, and Andrei’s involvement in all this?

He placed his hand on the ice block that sealed the demon. He was just curious, but who would have thought that a notification from the Hero’s System would appear.

[Do you want to break the seal of Razanov Family Art - World of Sword Ice?]

[Pour your blood and agree to break the seal if you want to break the seal.]

’Can I really open this demon seal?’

The question was not whether or not he could break the demon seal, but whether or not he could bear the risks that would occur.

If he simply broke the demon seal, it was possible that the demon sealed inside would kill himself instead.

In the past, there were many incidents where bad people intended to make a deal with the demon but were instead killed by the demon they met because they considered them, in quotation marks, equally evil.

Lev decided not to break the demon’s seal.

In contrast to the tense atmosphere Lev should have felt, he instead decided to take out the Memory Orb and film the ice block with the demon inside, as if he were a tourist who wanted to record a video.

’Publicizing this scene should be enough to provide evidence that Andrei is involved with demons.’

Just as he turned on the Memory Orb, he heard a cracking sound from the ceiling. He looked up and sure enough, the vibrations were getting stronger until stones started falling from the ceiling.

He almost thought that there was an earthquake going on. It would be bad if the field structure suddenly collapsed. He would be buried and unable to get out.

It was not a rare occurrence for a dungeon to collapse suddenly. Among the dungeons that collapsed frequently, the regular type dungeon was the dungeon that collapsed frequently against external impact.

[Total number of skeletons: 31.]

[Total number of skeletons: 22.]

[... 19, 15, 5, 2.]

Seeing that the number of skeletons had been drastically reduced, he finally understood that the time-stalling device he had prepared had already expired.

In other words, it was only natural for someone to rush inside where he was located. However, he didn’t expect that the person who came to him would pass directly above him.

BOOM!

Without giving Lev time to react, a hole formed in the ceiling. The sound of the explosion echoed loudly in the field.

"Andrei?!"

Amidst the opening of the hole that emitted sunlight, Andrei seemed to have jumped to get to the center of the field where Lev was located.

Although Andrei’s face flying down from above was a little blurry due to the light coming from behind him, as well as the fine dust flying in the air, he could still tell by squinting.

[Battle Sense - Activated.]

Seeing Andrei’s majestic arrival, it seemed clear that he had not come in a good state. He looked very full of hostility.

The breathing sounds that Lev sensed using Battle Sense indicated that Andrei was very angry. He was breathing very heavily. The muscles in his entire body were also tense, which meant that he was ready to attack Lev.

In one blink of an eye, Andrei’s figure above him suddenly disappeared.

’That energy!’

Unmistakably, it was demon energy.

When Andrei covered his body with Aura, the Aura that Lev could sense was demon Aura.

With Battle Sense, he could indeed predict Andrei’s movements, but his body could not react to Andrei’s movements.

Suddenly, he received a hard blow to his back.

Boom!

The Memory Orb he was holding automatically fell to the ground.

His body was pushed until the entire body kissed the ice block, including his face.

Since the ice block did not receive any damage, all the impact of the blow was automatically charged to Lev’s body.

In addition to the severe pain that caused him to vomit blood from his mouth, he also felt a stinging cold sensation from the cheek that was tightly pressed against the ice surface.

"I won’t ask what you came here for. However, you must accept the consequences of your actions, Lev."

"Ku-heok. Are those words appropriate for you to say after you sacrificed so many people just for a little bit of power?"

"What do you know? You’re just a child."

Boom! Boom! Ka-boom!

Andrei continued to punch Lev’s back.

The multiple blows fell on Lev’s back as if he was being hit by a truck.

After a while, the blows hitting his back suddenly stopped. His already limp body automatically fell to the ground.

He turned around and leaned against the ice block to see what Andrei was doing. Andrei seemed to be observing the surroundings.

"Are you the one who destroyed the magic circle here?" Andrei’s short body felt very tall as Lev looked at him from below. His united eyebrows also felt very tense, in contrast to the initial impression of being very funny. "It seems you’ve also saved the people I locked up."

Andrei seemed to have understood what had happened down here.

[Observation - Activated.]

[Status window:

...]

As expected, even though he was famous as a nobleman who did not have any achievements, he was still a strong man when compared to someone of Lev’s age.

’A head of a noble family is still a head of a noble family, I guess.’

"How did you know about this place? It seems like you also know about what I’m doing here?"

Without giving Lev time to answer, Andrei continued to pepper Lev with questions.

"Are you going to keep your mouth shut?"

"How can I answer if you keep asking?"

If he had to be honest, he didn’t know about this place in the first place.

As for why he knew what Andrei was doing, it was certainly from the information of his previous life.

There was no way Lev would say all that.

In a seemingly desperate situation, he felt curious about what Andrei wanted to do to him.

"Sorry, I don’t want to answer questions from a father who considers his son trash just for failing the coming-of-age ceremony," Lev replied in a provoking tone.

"If you don’t want to answer, that’s fine."

Seeing the reaction of Andrei who was already clenching his fists, ready to hit himself, Lev finally got the answer to his curiosity.

"Do you want to kill me? Aren’t you going too far?"

"This is nothing compared to what I’ve done before."

Andrei said as if he had already killed his own family members. Not that Lev was begging for mercy, he just wanted to know if there was any pain in Andrei, when he wanted to kill his own son.

Apparently, there wasn’t at all.
