The Survival of the Third-rate Villain

Chapter 160 160 - The Invasion! [11]—Lycus and Leon II

S W O O S H—

Leon and Lycus dashed toward the demon, their movements sharp and decisive.

The demon remained still, watching them approach with an eerie calmness.

And upon reaching him—

SWISH—

Leon swung his sword down in a swift, precise motion, aiming to carve through the demon's shoulder!

F W I P—

Lycus followed up instantly, lunging forward with a rapid one-two thrust of his daggers, striking at the demon's ribs!

But the demon was faster than expected.

With a subtle, almost effortless movement—

TING—

-...

The demon lightly struck the side of Leon's sword with his left hand—

SWOOSH—

Deflecting it to the side, making Leon's strike miss entirely!

"Urgh...!"

BAM!

Leon groaned as his weapon hit nothing but the solid concrete floor, sending small cracks spreading from the impact.

And immediately after—

FWISH—

The demon twisted his body, smoothly dodging the first thrust from Lycus!

His glowing red eyes flicked toward Lycus—

And then—

Raising his right hand, claws crackling with dark energy—

CLANG—!

He caught Lycus' second dagger mid-strike!

"...?!"

Lycus' eyes widened in shock.

He tried to yank his weapon back—

But the demon's grip was like iron.

And before he could react—

FWOOSH—

The demon's left hand lashed forward, his razor-sharp claws aiming straight for Lycus' face!

The strike was so fast—

It was like a shadow streaking through the air!

But just then—

Leon recovered his balance in an instant!

And without hesitation—

S W I S H—

He swung his sword in a horizontal arc from right to left!

-Huh…?

The demon hadn't expected such a quick counter.

If he continued his attack, Leon's blade would slice straight through his stomach.

And so—

BAM! Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire

The demon leaped back with a powerful burst of strength, dodging the slash by a hair's breadth.

B A M!

Leon and Lycus did the same, retreating several feet away to rethink their approach.

TAP—

And landing lightly on the cracked battlefield, the three fighters faced each other once more.

"..."

"..."

-...

Silence.

Each of them analyzed the situation, reading the battlefield,

"Urgh—?!"

The eyes of the two widened.

And before they could even try to struggle—

B A M—!!!

The demon slammed them against into each other!

"GAH—!!!"

"URGH—!!!"

Leon's and Lycus' bodies crashed, pain exploding in their chests!

And following that—

B O O M—!!!

The demon threw the two to the ground, shaking the battlefield!

Swoosh~

Dust exploded into the air.

Tap—

The demon stepped on top of Lycus' unmoving.

And looking at the two on the ground—

-Hah.

The demon grinned mischievously.

And opening his mouth—

-Too bad... If we had met a few more years in the future, our situation would've been reversed.

He muttered that.

"Urgh..."

Leon weakly groaned as he opened his eyes and looked up at the demon.

And with a deep frown on his face—

"You haven't won yet, bastard."

Leon muttered that.

SLASH—

-Urgh?!

And then the demon felt something cut the achilles of his right foot!

"He's right."

It was Lycus, he was just pretending to be unconscious earlier!
