The Survival of the Third-rate Villain

Meanwhile, outside the outdoor training ground—

SWOOSH—

Jerusha was dashing toward the town.

B O O M—!

She was going so fast, exploding gusts of winds under her feet with every step she took.

(Yep, this move was inspired by Raye’s skill too, along with the [Bang] before.)

F W O O O S H—!!!

Jerusha was basically flying at this point.

’Wow, this skill is really something else...!’

She exclaimed in her head.

She was copying Raye’s skill, [Flash], to some extent.

Jerusha was doing this because this skill uses less mana than flying, but it still let the user travel at an absurd speed!

FWISH—

The scenery around Jerusha blurred as she pushed forward, feeling the wind violently lash against her face.

But even with that—

"..."

Her eyes remained sharp, focused only on reaching the town as fast as possible.

’If Raye’s in trouble, I need to be ready.’

Jerusha thought, furrowing her brows.

She was trying to save as much mana as possible—just in case.

Then—

"Everyone..."

Thinking about Raye, Old Man Rey, Kyle, Pyro, and Zephyrus…

"..."

Jerusha slowly became worried.

THUMP—

Her heart felt heavy, a bad feeling looming over her.

It clung to her mind, stubborn and persistent.

But then—

"No!"

Shouting that to herself and shaking her head, Jerusha reassured herself that everyone was fine.

’They’re fine… There’s no way anything happened to them.’

She told herself.

Though, even after doing that—

"..."

The uneasiness still wouldn’t leave her mind.

It sat there, deep in her chest, refusing to fade.

"..."

Jerusha became silent.

And after that—

Fwoosh~

Silently condensing more mana on her legs and tensing her muscles—

B A M—!

F W I S H—!!

Jerusha kicked off the ground harder, the impact blasting debris into the air!

Her speed—

FWOOSH—!!!

It doubled in an instant!

The world blurred even more, the wind roaring in her ears, whipping her hair wildly.

"...!"

But Jerusha didn’t care.

’I’ll get there in time… I have to.’

Her determination burned brighter, and with one final push—

FWOOSH—!!!

She shot forward like a comet, racing toward the town at full force!

...

*****

And not long after—

TAP—

Jerusha reached the town.

And there—

"Wha..."

Jerusha saw the unfolding chaos.

B O O M—!!!

The town was in shambles, smoke rising into the darkening sky.

-KIEEEEE!!!

-DIE, YOU BUGS!!!

BOOM!

-KE KE KE KE-!!!

Monsters and demons were everywhere, rampaging through the streets.

BAAM!!

They tore through buildings, knocking over stalls, destroying everything in their path.

"KYAAAAA!!!"

"STOP!!!"

"RUN EVERYONE!!!"

"SOMEONE HELP!!!"

Townspeople were running, hiding, panicking—

"MOMMY!!"

Crying.

Screams filled the air, a desperate cry out of fear.

They were being attacked.

And witnessing this—

"…"

Jerusha stood in horror, her eyes darting from one scene of destruction to another.

And for a brief moment—

"What is this...?"

Her heart sank.

-DIE HUMAN BRAT!!

SWOOSH—

But after catching a glimpse of a low-rank demon trying to attack a little girl—

"...!"

Jerusha immediately snapped out of her stupor!

"TCH—!"

She gritted her teeth, anger flashing across her face.

FWIP—

Her hands clenched into fists, and without hesitation—

"[RADIANT BURST!!!]"

She opened her mouth and shouted that!

BOOOOM—!!!

Strong mana erupted from her body, surging outward in a massive wave!

F W O O S H—!!!

A blinding light engulfed the battlefield—

And in an instant—

-KIEE?!!

-HUH?!

-OUCH!!? WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!!

Every single monster and demon that was caught within its reach—

B O O M—!!!

-GRAAAAA!!!?

-GAAAAHHHH?!!!

-KIEEEEEEEEK?!!

—was eradicated!

F W I I S H~!

Ash and smoke filled the air, the bodies of the demons and monsters disintegrating on the spot!

On the other hand—

"Huh...?"

"What...?"

"M-Mommy..?"

Not a single townsperson was harmed.

Tap—

"Huff..."

Jerusha stood at the center of it all, panting.

She had used a lot of mana that she was saving—

But she didn’t care.

"..."

Her sharp eyes scanned the battlefield instead.

And seeing that no more monsters or demons are nearby...

"Hup...!"

Jerusha took a deep breath—

"RUN TOWARD THE XAPHAM HALL!!!"

And then she exclaimed that!

"Huh?!"

"Ugh...?!"

The townspeople turned toward her, hearing her shout.

Their eyes questioning.

But before they could even say anything—

"A lot of professors are there, there are also another set of anti-demon barriers there. Take shelter there!"

Jerusha added that.

And at her words...

"Ah...!"

"Thank you, Miss!"

"Thank you so much!"

The people thanked her.

Tap- tap- tap—!

And then they all started heading toward the Xapham Hall desperately.

"Take this... Use them to the most injured people."

Jerusha then stopped one of them and said that, handing them a lot of healing potions that were from Sofia.

(Jerusha left one potion each for Raye and the others—just in case. She didn’t leave one for her though.)

And the one receiving them—

"You’re an angel... Really... Thank you..."

She said that to Jerusha.

And without further ado—

Tap- tap- tap—

She left after slightly bowing her head.

"This was given to us by the kind lady... Give them to those who are gravely injured but still have a chance of surviving."

And then she immediately started distributing the healing potions to those who needed them.

"..."

Jerusha just watched them get away, standing on a concrete road that was covered with blood.

She doesn’t know if it’s from the monsters, demons, or the humans.

But ignoring that—

Fwish-

Jerusha looked back in front of her.

-KIEEEE!!!

-Huh? What happened here? Why’s everyone dead?

Then she saw new demons and monsters starting to show up.

And glaring at them—

"[FIRE CANNON!!!]"

Jerusha cast another strong spell! Explore new worlds at freewebnovel

FWOOOSH—

Launching a huge fireball toward the unsuspecting new demons and monsters—

B O O O O M—!!!

SWAAAAAA—

-AHHHH!!!

-KAAAAAHHH!!!

Killing them immediately and turning them into ashes!

SWAAAAAAAA—

Then, opening her mouth—

"I need to find Raye and the others fast."

Jerusha mumbled that.

Her expression turning serious.

And after that—

B A A M—!

She kicked off the ground and started running toward her destination—

Kyle’s shop.

-GAH?!

-KEUK...?!

-URGH!!?

She killed a lot of monsters and low-rank demons on the way.

She also saved a lot of people and told them where to take shelter.

And during that—

"..."

Jerusha never lost sight of her destination.

And soon enough—

Tap-

"..."

She reached Kyle’s shop.
