Avoid the Yandere Goddess

At the same time, Sien was on his way to the center of the island to carry out Jade’s orders.

“Phew. I have to use this, right?”

Sien looked at the item Jade had given him. Or rather,

‘Should I even call this a thing?’

It was a round bead the size of a human hand. At first glance, it looked like a regular crystal ball, but upon closer inspection, it felt like something was inside. Exactly what was inside, he couldn’t tell, but,

‘It’s definitely something unusual.’

Otherwise, why would Andrew tell him to use it in such a place? With this thought in mind, Sien walked and soon,

“Phew… This is also tough.”

He had arrived at the center of the island. The next moment,

-Swoosh!

Along with the sound of a refreshing waterfall, a cool breeze with moisture blew. Sien walked towards the waterfall to wash his face. After washing up,

“I just need to infuse this bead with Demonic Magic, right?”

He looked down at the round bead in his hand. Then, as he infused Demonic Magic into the bead,

-Crackle!

Black sparks flew out of the bead. And that’s not all.

-Roar!

As if in response to his Demonic Magic, the bead vibrated. Sien was startled by the intense reaction, but,

“Phew. Don’t be scared.”

He tried to maintain a calm expression and infused more Demonic Magic.

‘It won’t harm me.’

After all, unlike other members of the Cult, he had been chosen by Andrew. So, there was no need to worry.

-Crack!

At that moment, a cracking sound rang in his ear, and,

-Flash!

Black light leaked out of the bead. Sien closed his eyes involuntarily. At the same time,

-Roar!

An unpleasant roar rang in his ears. What had emerged from the bead? Sien opened his eyes, which had been clenched shut, and,

“…”

He couldn’t help but open his mouth wide in surprise. That’s because the monster in front of him looked exactly like a dragon from a fairy tale. Of course,

‘Compared to the dragon in the fairy tale, it’s much smaller.’

It was about 8 meters tall. Given its size, it was probably a hatchling. Sien nodded in understanding, but then,

‘!’

An instinctive warning rang in his mind. And as expected,

-Whoosh!

The dragon swung its giant arm at him! The dragon swung its arm with enough force to tear the air.

“Hey, I’m your ally!”

Sien, caught off guard by the unexpected situation, quickly stepped back. Then,

-Thud!

A giant footprint was left on the ground. Sien, seeing this,

-Gulps!

Swallowed his saliva. Just one swing of its arm had destroyed the ground. If he were hit by that, even he wouldn’t be able to remain unscathed.

‘This won’t do. I need to escape from here.’

Sien, having made up his mind, ran away without looking back.

At the same time, Jenny, who had obtained food from Mark for free, tore off a piece of well-cooked bear meat and spoke.

“That’s unexpected. I thought you, being a high-ranking noble, wouldn’t be able to do something like this.”

“You’re different from that flat-chested woman who’s only good at swordsmanship.”

“…”

Willy responded in a cold tone to Lisanna’s words. Ignoring the two of them, Mark answered Jenny’s question.

“Actually, I lived alone in the forest for a while during my closed-door training, so I know how to do this.”

“Ah… That’s right.”

Willy nodded in understanding. Lisanna, looking at him with an unpleased expression, turned her gaze to Mark.

“By the way, you said boss monster? Do you really think you can defeat it? Professor William clearly said that we wouldn’t be able to.”

“That’s right. As Lisanna said, Professor William told us to give up on even trying.”

Jenny agreed. Mark shook his head at their opinions.

“I think it’s worth trying to challenge the boss monster with our abilities. Senior, take a look at our group.”

Jenny looked at the group at Mark’s words. She nodded in understanding.

‘It seems I relied too much on Professor William’s words.’

William had spoken with such seriousness that she had narrowed her thoughts. But now, she realized that there was no reason not to go and face the boss monster, especially since she wasn’t alone.

‘With Mark and Willy here, there’s no need to worry.’

Willy, whose talent was on par with Eileen, was here. So, there was no guarantee that they would definitely lose. Therefore, Mark’s suggestion to challenge the boss monster was a good idea. And,

‘I didn’t just laze around during the summer vacation.’

After the first semester’s final exams, Jenny had been plagued by a sense of powerlessness, so she trained hard during the break. She trained so hard that her palms bled.

“What do you think?”

Still, she needed to ask their opinions, as they might have different thoughts. But it seemed like an unnecessary worry, as,

“I was also thinking of trying to catch the boss monster, so this is good.”

“How strong do you think that monster is?”

The two of them accepted Mark’s proposal without hesitation, their mouths still full of bear meat. Jenny turned to Mark and asked,

“We’ve decided to go, but do you know where that monster is?”

“Well, I’m not sure, but I predict that it’s most likely to be at the center of the island.”

“Hmm. Then let’s go there first. We need to find it anyway. But before that…”

Jenny tilted her head, looking puzzled.

“Where are your group members?”

“Actually, when I suggested going to catch the boss monster, they all opposed me…”

Mark said this as he pushed up his glasses. The three of them looked at him with pity. It was clear that he had been abandoned by his teammates.

.

.

.

At that time, Sien was running away from the dragon. But as expected,

-Roar!

The dragon continued to chase him with a fierce aura.

“Should I just fight it?”

That was also an option. Now, he was different from before, as Andrew had granted him Demonic Magic. So, there was no reason he couldn’t defeat the dragon behind him.

‘Moreover, that’s just a hatchling, not the adult dragon from the fairy tale.’

Not to mention, it hadn’t completely lost its sanity. However,

“Tsk! Then I won’t be able to kill Kaine, that bastard.”

That’s right.

If he fought the hatchling behind him, the opportunity to kill Kaine would almost disappear. This was because it was impossible for him to defeat the dragon behind him without any damage. And,

‘One of my clones is…’

Sien had left a clone with his group members. He wondered what to do as he thought about this.

-Roar!

The dragon roared and swung its front leg again. Then,

“Tsk!”

A shadow was created by the dragon’s giant leg behind Sien. Sien quickly rolled on the ground. At the same time,

-Thud!

Dust rose from the ground, and,

-Crack!

A thick tree nearby was shattered. Sien felt cold sweat running down his spine and,

“Phew. It seems like it will keep chasing me.”

He glared and released Demonic Magic. He didn’t understand why Jade and Andrew had released this dragon, but,

‘I need to survive.’

With this thought in mind, Sien swung his hand. Then,

-Whoosh!

The dust that had risen was scattered.

“Don’t be so arrogant, lizard!”

At the same time, he kicked the dragon’s torso.

-Roar!

Did his attack work? The dragon roared and fell to the side.

-Thud!

A brief gap was created. Sien didn’t miss this opportunity and continued his attack, but,

“Damn it!”

It seemed like the dragon was waiting for him to attack.

-Whoosh!

The dragon swung its tail with all its might. Sien, who didn’t have time to dodge,

“Krrk!”

Raised both hands to block the dragon’s tail. Sien was tossed like a stone skipping on water.

-Crash!

The next moment, Sien crashed into the trees in the forest, and dust rose from where he fell.

“…”

“…”

A strange silence filled the air. Then,

“Pft!”

Sien spat out the blood in his mouth and ran towards the dragon. The dragon, sensing something strange in Sien’s slower movements than before,

-Roar!

Roared, thinking it was because of its tail. After about five minutes,

“Damn it…”

The fight between Sien and the dragon ended. Sien was completely overpowered by the hatchling dragon. The dragon, realizing that Sien, who was impaled by its claws, would soon die, threw him to the ground.

-Thud! Thud!

The dragon took heavy steps, looking for any humans nearby to kill. It headed towards the center of the island where it had been summoned.

.

.

.

About a minute later,

“Phew… It seems like it’s finally gone.”

Sien, who had been hiding behind a rock, sighed in relief and appeared. He looked at his clone, who had been brutally killed by the dragon.

‘It’s good that I didn’t fight.’

After being hit by the dragon’s tail, Sien had intentionally used his clone. If they had continued fighting, one of them would have surely died. And as expected,

‘If we had kept fighting, one of us would have died.’

But what was Andrew’s intention in releasing this dragon? Well, it was clear that his intention was to ruin the field assessment. However, having faced the dragon himself,

‘Hmm. That dragon is definitely not enough.’

He wasn’t convinced. After all, there were Kim Soo-yong and the Saint, as well as Eileen and Skaya, who were overwhelmingly strong.

“…”

“…”

Sien closed his eyes and thought deeply. Then, an idea flashed in his mind. If this idea was correct,

‘Everything fits perfectly.’

Andrew’s intention was probably to use this dragon to distract the key players of the Royal Academy. After all, when an unexpected situation occurs during the assessment, anyone would be caught off guard. In other words, he wanted them to assassinate Kaine during this gap.

“I’m sure. Andrew and Jade intended this.”

Sien, confident in his deduction, smiled triumphantly. Then,

-Clap. Clap. Clap.

The sound of clapping came from somewhere. Sien turned towards the sound and saw Jade, his superior and an executive of the Cult.

“J, Jade?”

Sien widened his eyes in surprise. Jade smiled with composure.

“As expected of Sien. You immediately understood the intentions of me and that person.”

“Thank you. But how did you get in here, Jade?”

“I’m an executive of the Cult. Infiltrating the Royal Academy is child’s play for me.”

Indeed, someone of Jade’s abilities wouldn’t find it strange to infiltrate the Royal Academy. The killing intent he had felt before was on a different level.

“Yes, of course, Jade.”

“Hmm… Sien, you’re quite injured.”

“Yes, the dragon was quite violent.”

Sien nodded and gently touched the place where his bones were cracked.

‘Krrk!’

Did allowing one attack hurt him so much? Just touching it gently caused pain to spread throughout his body.

“Hmm. This injury could hinder your mission, so I’ll give you a special potion. Come here.” “Yes, thank you!”

Sien answered with a loyal expression. He walked towards Jade. Jade took out a potion that emitted a faint light from his ring of dimensional storage.

‘Light?’

Sien looked at the potion with surprise. Then,

-Thud!

Suddenly, he felt a burning sensation in his stomach. What was going on? Sien looked down and saw,

“…”

A sharp sword piercing his stomach. The next moment,

“Sien, you have betrayed my expectations.”

“What… do you mean…?”

Betrayal? What had he done wrong? Sien tried to calm his shaking pupils. Then,

“You coward. I’ve been so good to you, but it’s okay. I’ll wash you.”

Jade’s face suddenly transformed into Kaine’s. Then, he took out a shining object the size of his hand and sprinkled it on Sien. At the same time,

-Flash!

Bright light enveloped Sien. Then,

-Flash!

A strange light was emitted from Sien’s body.

-Thud! Thud! Thud!

“Cough! Wait a moment!”

He couldn’t die here. His goal today was to assassinate Kaine, not to be killed by him. But,

“Krrk…”

He wanted to move immediately, but he couldn’t due to the surprise attack and the dragon’s attack. For safety, the bracelet given by the Royal Academy had already been shattered. At the same time, Kaine took out a long object the size of his hand.

“If you want to live, accept this light.”

“Krrk…”

Sien nodded desperately. He didn’t want to die here. The next moment,

-Flash!

He was enveloped in strange light. Then,

“…”

Sien closed his eyes and died, feeling wronged. Kaine, seeing this, spoke in an angry voice.

“Jade, you coward. You killed my friend.”

And so, Sien’s ‘washing’ was completed.
