Reincarnated in the Villainous Lust System!

Chapter 19: A midnight cry for help 2

Their footsteps echoed in the wind of the early morning and the beast monsters stopped rampaging, they all turned their attentions to the two girl running up the street, heading for the house.

I didn't know exactly why their interest seemed to be piqued by them, did they find the tow of them attractive as well? Were beast monsters even capable of acknowledging beauty? Or did the beast monsters stare at them because they could feel the mana inside Emily?

Ava and Emily finally got to the house and the two of them bent over panting heavily.

Emily's face was flushed and it made a wide contrast between the blue gown she wore, it was loose like Ava's, showing me that She had been asleep when Ava came to meet her.

Emily's chest heaved as she panted and her boobs jiggled with each inhale and exhale. Despite the current situation, I felt my rod harden slightly. I shook my head to clear the thoughts away and went to meet them.

"How did they get here?" Emily asked when she'd caught her breath.

"I don't know". I replied. "There seems to be no visible source, they just appeared here".

Emily frowned. She wondered how the beast monsters had managed to spawn at this exact location. Sure the farm was closer to the forest than any other house but she still didn't expect the beast to leave the forest talk more walk all the way to the farm.

"But how.." she started to say but stopped and decided to ask something else. "Have they increased since you got here?"

I shook my head. "Not that I know of, the number seems constant".

Emily sighed and brought out two knives, it seemed she had replaced the knife she gave me.

"Fire coat!" She said and soon the knifes were covered in flames.

"How many have you killed so far?" She asked me.

I cringed a little, I had only managed to kill two beasts since I got outside, compared to the amount of beasts outside that was a very tiny inconsequential number.

"Two". I said in a low voice.

"Well, it all counts for something". She said and faced Ava. "Go inside and protect yourself".

Ava nodded and headed for my room.

Emily stood straight now, she was like a commander in charge of a war platoon. "Stay as close to Mr Simon as possible, protect him". She said to me, I nodded.

Without further ado, she ran at the beast, ripping them off one by one. She danced through them like she was in a ballet and struck their heads off effortlessly like they were cornstalks not dangerous beast monsters.

I watched in awe as she decimated the ranks, then a thought occurred to me, this was my chance to kill as many beasts monsters as I could to increase my mana points.

I ignored her orders and left Mr Simon's side, I ran to join her to fight the beast monsters.

"I told you to stay back". She said as she shot a ball of flame at a flying hawk. The hawk flew out of the way and dodged it, it then flapped its wings sending a blast of air towards us.

Emily pushed me out of the way and jumped off, avoiding the blast of air.

"I can help!" I shouted. "I killed six by myself yesterday".

As soon as I said those words I realized the error I just committed.

Emily turned away from the hawk and looked at me with disbelief all over her face.

"You what?!"

I raised my hands to my chest in surrender. "I didn't… I had a mission.. see". I stuttered.

"You went to the forest by yourself?!" Emily roared. "Do you have death wish?!"

I couldn't tell Emily about the system because what then? So I tried to explain as best as I could.

"It's not like I wanted to go, I had to go". I said.

"You had to?" She asked in a confused yet angry tone.

"You had to?!" She repeated and her tone was murderous. She shook her head vehemently. "I never should have taken you there in the first place, this is all my fault".

"No it's not like that…" I tried to explain but then I saw the hawk Emily had been fighting. Before she started talking to me, she had been pummeling it and now it had recovered from the beating and was ready for more.

However it saw that Emily was distracted and decided to use the opportunity to attack her. It slashed the air with its talon, sending a slice of wind so pointy that it glinted in the air to Emily.

"Emily!" I shouted and ran to push her out of the way but I got to her a fraction too late, part of the slice of air met her arm, leaving a shallow cut in it.

Blood dripped from the wound onto my clothes and I don't know whether it was the sight of the blood, or the scream Emily let out but something snapped inside me.

"You!" I roared at the hawk and flung my blade at it, the hawk tried to avoid it but it caught it square in its neck, the hawk dropped to the ground, it's wings flapping uselessly.

As it reached the ground I pulled out my knife and stepped on the bird.

[1 beast monster killed, +10 mana points}

But I wasn't done yet, I still felt anger rushing through my body, I immediately ran for the next beast, a fox and I slashed through it in one clean swipe, I ran for the next beast and killed it, and the next and the next till I lost count.

I wasn't a person anymore, I was a fool that was being wielded and they were stalks of corn ready for harvesting. I cut through them with sheer power and anger, I dodged their magic, parried their attacks and sunk my knife into their bodies.

It was then I understood what the system was for, it wasn't a beneficial platform that saved my life, it wasn't a wicked tyrant that wanted to make my life as terrible as possible, it was a killer that had selected me as tool to aid in the destruction it envisaged.

The system used me.

In my frenzy, the knife was suddenly knocked off my hand. It clattered off the side, just out of reach.

The hog nearest to me saw the window of opportunity and rushed at me, I stumbled back and fell.

"Levi!" Emily shouted.

I suddenly realized how tired I was, my joints ached, my bones felt like lead, my vision blurred and migraines shot through my head.

The hog backed up, it's killing intent was obvious in its eyes.

If this is how I die then what a waste. I thought to myself.

The hog charged at me and in my desperation I held my hand up at it. Then the most amazing thing happened, a blast of wind came out of my palm and pushed the hog away, the hog crashed into the fence and stayed there motionless.

I looked at my palms in surprise and Emily's loud gasp showed she was thinking the same thing, did I just use wind magic?
