I Became the Must-Have Character of the Academy City-Chapter 133: Olivia (2)

The secret of the girl had not yet been exposed. If she could sever the succubus's lifeline before any secrets were spilled, the problem would be resolved. Reminding herself that her racing heart was not too late, Ichinose sought calm.

"No matter how urgent, like Rohan said... don't use desperate measures."

With her thighs and ankles tensed, her eyes closed, Ichinose accurately sensed the succubus standing above her.

Beneath her resolve to definitively kill and bury the secret, she envisioned the trajectory of her sword. She honed a cold, calm murderous intent, not hot and wild.

"Sigh..." She exhaled, achieving a state of 'ming jing zhi shui' — a mind clear and still as a polished mirror, focusing solely on the enemy.

'Yes, no problem.'

It was fortunate for Ichinose that Olivia the succubus, rather than gloating over a perceived weakness, seemed merely curious. Perhaps the succubus underestimated how this revelation could shatter Ichinose’s composure, turning into a weapon against her.

Thump!

The moment Ichinose moved to strike with her sword, Rohan too leaped towards the upper floor where Olivia was positioned. The ward stone that had been guarding the succubus unsheathed his sword and charged at Rohan as if recognizing his foe.

Clang! Rohan's sword clashed in the air with the powerful ward stone, and he fell back to the lower floor to continue the fierce battle.

Ichinose landed softly on the balcony rail in front of the succubus within striking distance. With her eyes still closed, she unsheathed her sword like lightning.

A flurry of strikes rained down where Olivia stood. However, Ichinose's blade only managed to split some unfortunate mirrors.

"Getting closer, I can see it clearly. Such rich vitality... If I consume it... Hehe." Olivia dodged gracefully, rubbing her thighs together, continuing her fantasies, while Ichinose frowned slightly.

'She's quite fast.'

This succubus possessed remarkable physical abilities. However, it wasn't martial prowess but mere leg strength that allowed her such speed.

'She's certainly stronger than the succubi we've encountered before.'

Even if the two communicative succubi they had encountered earlier attacked together, they wouldn't stand a chance against this Olivia.

Click!

Ichinose re-sheathed her blade. While it might seem inefficient to an onlooker, her swordsmanship required this process for full efficacy.

Observing Ichinose swiftly readying herself again, Olivia did not hide her curiosity.

"Why would you do that? You're clearly human. Are you some kind of succubus hybrid?"

"..."

Ichinose had no interest in conversing with the succubus. She methodically continued her attacks, drawing her sword in rapid, tight sequences.

Crack! The mansion’s mirrors couldn’t withstand the sharpness she unleashed. Predicting Olivia’s instinctive movements, Ichinose struck faster than before.

Olivia, unable to dodge, unraveled her coiled whip in response, swinging it with a smile.

"!"

A chilling sensation ran up Ichinose's skin. She unhinged her defense to dodge, flipping backward.

Crash—!!! A deafening sound echoed. Without looking back, Ichinose knew the balustrade and stairs had crumbled from a single lash of the whip.

'I must not get hit.'

A direct hit could kill her in one strike, or at the very least, turn the battle heavily in Olivia's favor. Even if she tried to parry or block, her wrists might not withstand many such attacks.

"Isn't it typical for humans? Not for reproduction but just for consumption for excitement or satisfaction, as Bianca said that humans..."

"You talk too much."

"Hehe, I need an answer before I kill. Is that man's sexual inclination like that?"

"Just die."

Cutting off the ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) conversation, Ichinose struck again, her sword now faster with full magical power charged.

Fwip!

Despite Olivia's evasion, the blade grazed her cheek, leaving a small cut. Olivia touched the blood with her finger, a vein throbbing on her forehead.

"Such a badly behaved little girl. I need to teach you a lesson."

The whip began to lash more aggressively, signaling a real threat was about to begin.

"It wasn't just an ordinary mirror, as Rohan said."

Ichinose thought this as she dodged a whip flying at her like a snake from behind.

The mirror laid in the mansion.

When the whip touched it, it bounced back as if repelling, changing its trajectory.

It seemed to be an attack method allowed only for this succubus.

"Seeing that it's still usable even when somewhat damaged, I suppose it needs to be completely smashed..."

Ichinose, who did not rely on sight, could react to the erratic movements of the whip.

However, it was indeed very annoying.

She considered pulling it outside with a trick, but if, like intuition, the monolith was somewhere in this mansion.

If the succubus didn't follow, Rohan and Ichinose would have to return here.

Destroying the solid and thick mirror on the wall and dragging it outside was impractical.

To render the mirror unusable, they would need to make it come out through the door.

If they fled the mansion, wouldn't it just bring other succubi and the laid pressure stones like dolls?

Eventually, the conclusion was that settling it here was optimal.

"You dodge like a rat. Should I speed up?"

At that moment, Olivia unfolded her wings and fully unleashed her magic power.

From downstairs, there was a sound of flesh being sliced!

Startled, Olivia looked down.

Ichinose lifted the corners of her mouth in hope.

Bursting through the broken staircase, Rohan took his place beside Ichinose.

"Are you hurt anywhere?"

"Rohan... I'm fine, but..."

Ichinose bit her lower lip, sensing the strong scent of blood emanating from Rohan.

Despite having won, he was heavily wounded.

Rohan assured Ichinose he was okay and drank a potion, then tossed the empty bottle to the floor.

"Definitely not your ordinary guy. I now understand what it means to have a body that remembers."

Despite the haze of his battle, the Pressure Stone used his trained moves sporadically.

That substantial man was at least a step above Rohan as a swordsman.

If it weren't for being hit by the succubus, even if he had won, he would have been in tatters.

Yet, Rohan had won.

He stood beside Ichinose.

"But still, Baby-nose believed I would win."

Rohan felt good about Ichinose's trust in him.

He wanted to transform the current heat and buoyant mood into painkillers and morale for continuing the fight.

"..."

To the man who had defeated the carefully crafted Pressure Stone and come upstairs.

Olivia showed not anger, but a satisfied smile.

"I won't kill you. If you give in now, I'll treat you the best."

"Why do succubi always have to be so clingy? Don't monsters have any pride?"

Even as Rohan provoked, Olivia did not give up, smiling while twirling her wavy hair, exposing her pale armpits, and tightly wrapping her tail around her thighs, making flesh bulge out.

"Hmm, don't you want to 'sow your seeds' in a beauty like me? I can adjust to any fortitude and bear as many children as you want."

'Seed?'

Rohan was puzzled by the strange sentence, but Ichinose timely passed on some information.

"Rohan. When the whip touches the mirror, it changes its trajectory and flies at you."

"How fast?"

"You can dodge it if you focus. It seems like it will speed up from now on... Aren't you dizzy?"

"It doesn't look like it, but there's not much bleeding. The potion is also taking effect."

Rohan replied to Ichinose while finishing checking the gun's chamber and magazine.

Only two bullets left, and no spare magazines anymore.

Rohan placed the gun back in its holster and swallowed a glowing pill, his hands radiating light like the sun.

"This feels bad. Does that kid like you more than me?"

Jealous, Olivia began to tint her magic power pink.

It wasn't Olivia's preference to charm women, but with Rohan's participation, there was no reason not to use it.
