I Reincarnated as a Villain of an RPG, But I Want to Survive

Brother, going to battle

「Jira……!?」

「Oi oi, for real……?! He forced his way to a serious battle!?」

It can’t be helped that my friends nearby are all shocked

If I didn’t intrude, Grey Ryuuga would surely attack Selen with a sure-kill technique, and my sister would lose after receiving a huge injury

I would be disqualified as a brother if I overlooked that

No matter what circumstances, leaving your sister in a pinch can’t be justified

「You came out surprisingly fast……!」

The empire’s strongest man is not agitated by my intrusion

「I intended to fight you by today, but I didn’t expect you to burst into the fight like that. What a man who always do unexpected things!」

「…………」

「However, beating guys like you and making you submit is the job of the first rank. Which is the strongest of the Twelve Apostles, who is the empire’s strongest, shall we decide it clearly right here?」

「…………」

I look behind

There, Selen is

「O, Onii-chan……!?」

Despite trembling due to fear, Selen’s expression is distorted by the unbearable rage awakened by the beast aura

「S, stay back! I can still fight! Onii-chan will only be a hindrance!!」

「Selen」

I put my hand on my sister’s face and pour the sacred wisdom power to her

With that, the evil beast nature haunting her head disappeared like a shadow being shined upon by the light

「……!? Are? Are!?」

I’m glad that my originally innocent, cute sister is back

「Sorry, Onii-chan! I said something harsh toward Onii-chan!!」

「You don’t need to mind about that」

Because I know who is truly the bad one

Right, lizard man?

「The match can end with “my sister surrenders”, right?」

「……Don’t ignore other people’s talk」

Eh?

What did he say?

Hahahaha……。

「Too bad, but your surrender is not accepted. It’s told from the beginning that only his Highness the Emperor can decide the end of the match. Unless I hear the his voice, the match will continue even if the opponent is fainted even all of their bones are broken」

The emperor in question doesn’t say a thing and only looks at us

Since there is a smirk on his mouth, perhaps he is enjoying this situation?

「Surely, if you want, you can fight instead. The 12th rank Jirat. Will you challenge this Grey Ryuuga instead of your disappointing sister?」

「No」

「!?」

As if he didn’t expect my answer, Grey Ryuuga shows a disappointed expression, but……。

「Challenge? Me, to you? Even if it’s overreaching, don’t get carried to much」

「? What do you mean?」

「I will beat you. One-sided. It’s that simple. The lizard who misunderstood himself as a dragon, I will teach you about your social standing」

To the point that you will never be able to get conceited again

I will thoroughly drive the fear of being trampled by a stronger one into you

With overwhelming power

「……Hmm, it seems like the best thing the Twelve Apostles have is their big mouth」

Grey Ryuuga lets out a feigned laughter

「Fine, whether or not that big mouth is accompanied with real strength, let’s find out with my own hand. His Highness the Emperor, is this okay?」

「Umu」

Finally, the old fart emperor opens his mouth

「Grey Ryuuga and Selentaura’s Gozen match is over……next, the match between the 1st rank Grey Ryuuga and the 12th rank Jirat will begin」

Sparks scatter between me and him。

The air is distorted by the clashing of each other’s fighting spirit

「You can fight to your best. The empire wishes for the strong. Being stingy with your own strength is not needed. Expose all of your abilities right here!」

「That is his Highness the Emperor’s desire. Of course, this Grey Ryuuga is not an enemy you can fight while sparing your strength, right?」

Perhaps the empire’s strongest is confident in himself, he’s also quite a master of arrogant speech

「It’s called Holy Wisdom Art, right? Quite an interesting power. To make sure whether or not it can be helpful to the empire, I will have you fight will all your strength」

「Why don’t you just honestly admit it?」

「? What?」

I say clearly toward the man who is feigning ignorance

「You are nervous against me, right? Because you are too talkative since a while ago. You intend to hide your unrest by continuously talking」

「That, that is……!」

Grey Ryuuga has a clearly scorned expression on his face

「……what a shocking guy. You got carried away this much. Certainly, it’s admirable that you could repel my beast magic <dragon death crush>. However, if you really think you can win against me with just that……!」

「It was the first time in your life, right?」

That slash waves didn’t work at all

「I don’t know how long you have obtained beast magic, but you should be unrivaled ever since then. There aren’t many powerful beast magic like that. The concentration of your beast aura is already at master level, and after receiving the dragon power from the beast piece, your power should remarkably increase」

Even the sky would split, the ground would be torn off after being hit by one of those slash waves, all enemies before him would surely die. Or at least, he’s sure that they would not be unhurt

「But it was broken through for the first time today」

「……!?」

「Your prided killer technique didn’t leave a scratch on me. That gives you a shock beyond imagination. It’s fine to be nervous honestly, you know? You want to be flustered, right? Bluffing is really ugly, especially when your true feeling is being seen through right now」

「Shut up……!」

Quiet anger is being shown on Grey Ryuuga’s face

「Just by enduring it once, did you think you have broken through my beast magic? Such conceitedness is really absurd!! I will immediately prove it’s just a sinful miscalculation of you!!」

My provocation is effective, a terrific amount of beast aura gushes out from Grey Ryuuga

「Uhyaaaaーーー!?」

My sister Selen let out a shriek in fear

She lost the timing to leave and couldn’t move behind my back

「Selen, don’t move from there」

「Eh?」

「I will protect you」

「But Onii-chan! If I’m here then you can’t avoid the attack!」

As expected of someone who passed the final selection, my sister understands well about fighting

Certainly

Grey Ryuuga will try to throw the slash waves at me because of my previous talking

I will evade

But then Selen behind me will take all the hit

So I will not evade

Even if there is a nuclear warhead in front of me, I will risk my life as my sister’s shield

「……But don’t worry」

Because the threat we will face next is easier than a nuclear warhead

「Beast Magic <Dragon death crush>!!」

The strongest Twelve Apostles once again released 『Flying slash claws』。

For now, its power is more overwhelming than any other threat I have seen in the empire

「Gyaaaa!? We will die!?」

Selen crouched in fear

In order to not cause harm to my sister……。

「Holy wisdom art <Spinning return>」

I spin both arms in a circular orbit

The moment they touched my arms, Grey Ryuuga’s prided claw strikes’ changed their orbits and flew to different directions

10 slashes from left and right

None of them could hurt us

「What……!?」

Seeing that, the dragon beast warrior couldn’t hide his shocked expression

「Last time, did you defend against my beheading slash claws like that?」

Certainly, this guy’s beast magic is strong

I can simply increase my defense with <Barrier shield>, but if it’s stronger then I will receive damage

If I can’t guard with defense, I can just ward them off

That is the effect of Holy Wisdom art <Spinning return>

「Rather than enduring with strength, ward it off. Read the trajectory of the attack, then apply a small amount of power from the sides and send it to other direction……!?」

「You knew that much after seeing it the second time? As expected」

The empire’s strongest isn’t a title one can obtain just by pushing with power

The power of observation and a good head is also needed

「That’s why you should understand. No matter how magnificent your beast power is, it’s nothing against my Holy wisdom art, I can ward them off. You can’t defeat me」

「Is that so?」

Even fiercer beast aura gushes out from Grey Ryuuga

「If you can ward my attack off! Then I will saturate it with an amount you can’t deal with! Shall we experiment how much can your hand deal with!!」

Then, he releases……。

「Beast magic <Dragon death crush>! Random shooting version!!」
