Genius Swordsman In Reverse Game

Flinch─

Suzuki Satoru, who had just witnessed Ichika in the arms of a strange man. His eyes twitched as if they were shaking.

In the short time he had stepped away, an intruder had come and wormed his way in.

Satoru had spent a long time sculpting the pure white goddess, his mate, always nervous that she might be stolen away, always wary of even touching her first.

So, seeing her, the one he had cherished and protected, being defiled by another man in real time, his eyes could do nothing but flip.

Moreover, that face.

It was a level above what he had imagined in his illusions.

Sticky anger and slimy inferiority complex bubbled and boiled inside Suzuki.

"What the hell did you do!! What did you do! Did you, did you dare touch her!? She, she's mine! She's mine!!!"

Suzuki glared at the suspicious man and shouted at him. The man carefully laid Ichika on the ground as if she were precious.

The whole process stimulated Suzuki's murderous intent.

The man looked at him, scratched his head, and muttered something unintelligible.

"Ah, the boss is already here… Ha, well, I wonder if I can hold out alone… I hope the guys don't arrive too late."

"You, where the hell did you come from…!!!"

"Me? Utopia's Jin Yuha. I came to fulfill a request."

Jin Yuha's natural response furrowed Suzuki's brow.

'Utopia…? Who the hell is that? Jin Yuha? Could he be Korean? '

Currently, the name Jin Yuha of Utopia was setting the whole world on fire, but Utopia had only recently become known in Japan.

Moreover, Suzuki, who had been hiding in the Jukai Forest for a long time, had no way of knowing the name of Utopia.

"That name…!!! You! You're a Korean! What, what are you doing in our country, you damn Korean, what are you doing here!!! Go, get out of here, get out of here!!!

"Are you stupid? I just told you, I came to fulfill a request."

As she spoke, Jin Yuha pointed to Ichika, who was lying behind her.

'A request? She made a request…?'

Suzuki's face hardened.

He had been wondering why such monstrous hunters had suddenly invaded the Jukai Forest, and it seemed Ichika had made a request.

'But when did she make the request? Did she keep sending out rescue requests without my knowledge?'

No, that couldn't be. For the past month, he had been with her 24 hours a day, keeping watch over her.

If she had made a request, it was probably when she had decided to make her his.

'Ichika──! Don't do anything unnecessary──!!!'

If she had just stayed still, he would have shown her heavenly bliss.

The culprit who ruined his plan was none other than her, and Suzuki bit his lip.

'Well, it's fine… If he came to rescue her, he probably didn't do anything.'

He glared at Jin Yuha with sharp eyes and deduced how this guy had ended up here based on the information he had gathered so far.

'….While those ignorant female hunters were luring me, this guy was sent to rescue Ichika. But I came back too soon!'

This was far from the truth, but Suzuki could only assume so.

The guy standing in front of him, with his fancy exterior, was a man.

And he was alone.

'….I want this bastard, who dared to lay his hands on Ichika without knowing his place, to suffer eternal torment… But…'

As the embodiment of lust and the one who inherited the power of the Incubus in a human body, there was no way he could lose to a male hunter named Jin Yuha.

'Soon, those hunters will arrive. So, I need to deal with this quickly and escape the forest with Ichika… Luckily, she's unconscious right now, so it won't be difficult.'

Suzuki hardened his resolve and summoned the maximum amount of demonic energy within him.

Gooooooooh─

A dull pink, sticky aura undulated around his body like a painting. And the magic gathered in his hands, transforming into the shape of a large sickle.

Hooong─

Without hesitation, he swung the giant sickle with both hands like an axe. The resulting blade of energy split into dozens, hundreds of sword blades.

Dream Sickle.

The number of sickles increased by illusion. While his opponent was distracted by the illusion, a single real sickle tooth would tear into their neck.

'….As long as you don't ignore physical attacks like Ichika, you can't survive this attack!!'

However.

Even as hundreds of sword blades rushed towards him like a wave.

Jin Yuha remained unmoved, tilting his head in confusion.

As the illusory sword energy approached and passed by him, he stood still. Then, suddenly.

Whoosh─

He turned his head to the side.

He dodged the single real sword blade among the hundreds!

Suzuki's eyes widened in disbelief.

"How, how did you─! My, my Dream Sickle!"

"….What, was that just a test?"

.

.

.

'….What the hell is this?'

I couldn't hide my astonishment. This guy, Suzuki Satoru, was someone I knew.

The boss of this Jukai Forest.

A character who wielded rather troublesome abilities.

An Incubus Apostle.

In the game, it was impossible to completely finish him off according to the settings. You had to borrow the power of a deceased contractor at the last moment to defeat this formidable adversary.

Honestly, the fact that I had to face him alone without the support of a party made me nervous.

That's how it should have been…

'What the hell, why is this guy so weak…?'

The scythe he swung was flimsy and unimpressive. Even the split illusions were utterly pathetic. It was enough to just sense the killing intent, pick out the real blade, and avoid it.

'…Have I become strong enough to handle this guy on my own?'

For a moment, I even thought that.

But I soon shook my head.

In the game, even with a character who had maxed out all enhancement options from the gacha, fighting him was still a struggle with a party of six.

No matter how much stronger I've become than I expected, handling the strength of six people on my own? Even if this was only the first phase, it didn't make sense.

'Ah, come to think of it…'

Suddenly, the words Ichika said, mistaking me for Suzuki Satoru, came to mind.

— Dream Demon, Incubus. You know you can't beat me within my domain.

At the time, I had lightly dismissed it due to the excitement of encountering a new special characteristic.

But thinking back on it now, it was a strange thing to say.

No matter how cheat-like her abilities were, overwhelming the boss of Jukai Forest was out of the question.

I dodged the incoming attack, wary of any potential traps. It was easy enough to sidestep lightly, since only one of them could be real.

'This is still suspicious…'

I observed the creature, wondering if it had some other trick up its sleeve.

Hooong! Hoong! Hoong! Hoong!!!!

But it was just wildly swinging its scythe, teeth clenched and drenched in sweat, as if its only goal was to land a single hit.

No matter how I looked at it, this didn't seem like an act.

'… Obsession with Ichika, and death? Ah… Wait a second.'

My eyes widened as a realization hit me.

'Could it be that this bastard, after Ichika's death… Did he awaken because of that?'

But Ichika hadn't died, thanks to my quick actions.

So he hadn't awakened?

That would make sense.

'Then… Could it be that I can take this guy out by myself?'

A smirk spread across my face.

Twitch

Ichika's forehead, who had been knocked out by a blow to the neck, began to twitch. Then, she snapped awake.

'No, stop─!!!!!!'

She must not fall asleep.

Even with my eyes closed, I had to stay alert. I couldn't know what that terrible incubus would do while I slept.

Of course, even when I slept, the ghosts that followed me stood guard, but when I didn't use my powers, the ghosts had no physical influence.

As a result, it had been months since I'd had a proper night's rest. To be honest, I was at my limit.

Before the incubus came, I had dozed off.

Then, the previous situation flashed through Ichika's mind like a panorama: the figure of a man running through the ghosts as if he were one of them.

'… So it's all over.'

A sense of emptiness rose from the depths of my chest.

'The incubus has gotten stronger…'

For some reason, the incubus, who had briefly left, returned with a changed appearance.

Everything, from the destructive power of his looks to his very being, had transformed into something else entirely.

As if he had become a different person in an instant.

Even the foul stench that always assaulted my nose, the repulsive, lustful gaze, the sneering smirk born of deceit, and the stuttering habit that had made Ichika feel repulsed—all of it was gone.

With the disappearance of everything that had evoked her disgust, the inner walls that she had been holding up crumbled, and she could no longer suppress her impulses.

The memory of her own hand exploring the incubus' lower half and his disgusting yet innocent and confused act of evading her touch made her feel nauseous.

Ichika couldn't bear it.

'I'm afraid to open my eyes…'

Because if I do, I'll see the incubus again.

And that I would be so entranced by his physical form that I would lose my mind and pant for that piece of trash, truly desiring him from the bottom of my heart.

That was what Ichika feared.

Then, suddenly:

-Ichika! Ichika, wake up!

-Ichika, the incubus is dying!

-Hurry, get up! Wake up! Now!!!

'What…?'

The voices of the ghosts suddenly rang in her ears.

The incubus is dying?

What did that mean?

The incubus that had overwhelmed her?

Confused, Ichika slowly opened her eyes.

"What is this…?"

And then she saw.

"There are… two incubi…?"
