I Will Create a Good Ending for the Yandere Villainess

Chapter 628: Worst-Case Scenario?

After some time, both Lillian and Millis managed to completely eradicate every disfigured human inside the warehouse.

However, it came at a grim cost...

"BLEH!" Millis coughed wildly, lifting up the visor of her helmet and sticking out her tongue, "ONE OF THEM GOT THEIR ICKY BLOOD IN MAH MOUTH!"

Lillian chuckled at this, looking down at Millis, who was completely covered in blood - especially her axe, which hungrily drank the blood like it was a heavenly elixir.

The Rabbit was currently sitting on top of a corpse.

Throughout the slaughter, the blood of the disfigured humans had covered every reachable surface, and Lillian was no exception.

Looking down at her robe, which was covered in blood from hood to hem - its once beautiful midnight blue shades completely painted over.

This led Rabbit to grimace, but also sigh. It was already enough that this expensive robe was damaged, but now she had to find a place to wash it.

’How annoying...’ Lillian thought before reacting to the sound of her name.

"Lillian! Get down from there and help meee!"

"Hm~?" Lillian looked down at Millis again, then glanced at the corpse beneath her - or more specifically, the corpse tower she was sitting on.

With over fifteen corpses stacked on top of each other, she had a wide view of this inside the warehouse. She hadn’t done this to seem cool or "neat and tidy", but because she was trying to find the whereabouts of the Salesman.

Throughout the culling, she hadn’t spotted him once after she recovered. She had already asked Millis, but unfortunately, the Heroine was as unknowledgeable as her.

The worst-case scenario was that the Salesman had escaped and already travelled far from this location, likely to have sent back a report of what happened. In contrast, the best-case scenario would be that he had managed to get himself killed in the chaos, devoured by the disfigured humans.

’Both aren’t bad scenarios...’

In the game, the Salesman had injected himself with an absurd amount of drugs as a last-ditch effort to kill the player. Whether it was going to happen here or not, Lillian wasn’t quite certain.

At this point, she wasn’t quite confident about depending on her meta-knowledge for everything.

Lillian briefly glanced over her memories of the event earlier. She was still in disbelief over everything that had happened.

’Not everything goes as planned...’

Shaking her head, Lillian shifted her attention back to the topic at hand.

As long as she didn’t have to deal with a transformed Salesman, she didn’t mind him escaping; albeit, his death would be preferable.

Looking back down at Millis, Lillian decided to see what she wanted.

Hopping off the corpse tower and slowly hovering down, Lillian reached Millis’s side.

She then tilted her head at the Heroine, silently inquiring what help she could have wanted.

The Rabbit’s eyebrows then furrowed as she watched the Heroine face her tongue towards her, showing the drop of blood that managed to get on it.

Millis, in a slurry and silly voice, asked desperately:

"P-phease, Hihhian! Couhd you scrape the bhood off mah tongue? It taste sooo bad...!"

"Haaah!?" Lillian shouted in disbelief, "Why don’t you scrape it off yourself?"

Except for a horrible taste, the blood of a disfigured human would not affect an untransformed human; for after the transformation, the serum in the disfigured human’s blood would have been diluted enough to be considered safe.

Millis flapped her arms exaggeratedly, desperate to get the bad taste off of her tongue.

"Because then I wouhd have to take off mah armour! Mah gaunhet comes with it, ya know!? Pheaseee, Hihhian...!" The Heroine answered, slurring over her words again.

Lillian’s face twitched.

’This girl...’

Seeing how desperate Millis was for her help, Lillian could only sigh in resignation.

After stabbing her harpoon into the ground, Lillian took off her right gauntlet and began to carefully scrape off the droplet of blood on the woman’s tongue.

As the two were focused on getting the blood off, they failed to recognise the shuffling of shattered crates off in the distance; their guards were partially down.

Millis watched as Lillian lifted her spiritual finger away from her tongue. Now noticing that the awful taste was gone, Millis raised her arms in celebration.

"Woohoo! Thanks, Lillian!" Millis yelled happily.

Then, she paused before snickering mischievously, "By the way, since ya technically fingered mah tongue, what would ya think Red Eyes would react if I jokingly told her tha—"

"I think something is over there," Lillian muttered sharply, having completely ignored whatever Millis was and had said.

After Lillian had managed to get the blood off Millis’s tongue, fighting against the Heroine’s fidgeting, she caught a glimpse of a dozen metres away from her.

This glimpse caused her eyes to narrow sharply.

Before Millis could even respond to Lillian’s statement, she watched as the Rabbit instantly picked up Acus Maris and—

"[Harpoon of the Black Tides]."

—Hurled it towards the suspicious location.

BOOM.

The harpoon mimicked the form of a dark blue lightning bolt, which was closely followed by a virtual tidal wave of great size.

It streaked through the air before crashing into the suspicious location.

And when it did—

BOOM!

—An enormous explosion occurred upon impact, kicking up a massive cloud of dust and debris.

While the hem of Lillian’s bloody cloak fluttered because of the wind, Millis was left shocked by what she saw.

After willing Acus Maris to return to her hand, Lillian - who had yet to receive a notification from the Jester - frowned.

Whatever was over there was still not dead.

Lillian prepared yet another throw, but then stopped as she felt a hand fall on her left shoulder.

Looking back, she found Millis giving her a crooked and wry smile.

This caused Lillian to tilt her head slightly, confused.

"Wassup?"

"I-I think ya might be going a bit overkill..." Millis muttered wryly, "Gravity exists, ya know? Stuff could just be falling over there..."

Lillian considered Millis’s reasoning, falling into brief thought. Soon enough, she nodded; Millis’s reasoning made sense to her.

"Just to be sure, let me do one more throw. I know you have enough mana for th—"

"Ya draining meh, Lillian!" Millis faked a sad and betrayed expression, "How could I walk after when ya completely drain me afterwards? I’ll be left defenceles—!"

Bonk!

"OW!"

Smacking Millis over the head, Lillian felt the corner of her lips twitch.

"You don’t even need mana to walk, why are you saying it like that!?"

While Millis pouted at her words, Lillian decided it would be fine to call it a day.

Although she wasn’t tired in the usual and physical sense, from all the pain she had suffered today, it was safe to say she should give her mind a break.

However.

Just as the two were about to leave—

DUM!

"SKREEEEH!"

—A large explosion followed by a chilling screech resounded from the suspicious location Lillian had just been looking at.

The two swiftly turned towards the direction, their eyes growing extremely wide as their pupils constricted in shock; they froze in place.

Rising up from the ground was a hideous and grotesque creature covered in shadows.

It had deep black skin and was covered in a thin layer of fur.

Its head and face were round; its eyes were without lids and were completely white without pupils, leading it to have a dead and disturbing look.

Its mouth was without lips and constantly held a disturbingly wide grin, as if it had been moulded to look like this; its mouth was filled with sharp teeth, each half a metre long - the back of its mouth was completely hidden inside a veil of shadows.

Its torso was uneven and disfigured, visibly hollow on one side like it was a dented soda can, and was horrifyingly crooked - like it had some kind of severe back problem.

And coming out from its shoulders were two skinny, bony arms that ended with sharp claws; each nail at least two metres in length. The arms were long and seemingly flexible, presumably capable of wrapping around an adult elephant twice.

However, that wasn’t where it ended.

Lillian shakingly moved her eyes down to the creature’s lower half.

The thing stood at a height of 25 metres, standing on one singular leg that was taller than its entire upper half combined, making up 70% of its height.

Lillian could feel her skin crawl as she remained frozen in place, her eyes locked with the thing’s white eyes; it still remained unmoving.

Thump... Thump... Thump...

She felt the monster’s Predatory Aura leak out to the surroundings, soon reaching her; the aura she felt from it was comparable to the Obsidian Dark Knight she fought back at the Dragon’s Den in the Eastern Nation.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

’No... It’s even deadlier...’

The thing before Lillian was a Rank B monster. Or more specifically, a Prime Husk.

And judging by the information her body gave in response to the Predatory Aura...

She had less than 50% chance of defeating it.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Lillian could feel her heart beating against her ribcage out of fear, beating quicker the longer she remained in the presence of the hideous thing.

She wasn’t scared for the sake of being scared, but because she was aware of what it could do.

This was the Salesman’s final phase, otherwise known as the thing Lillian didn’t want to fight in the slightest!

Lillian watched as an unnerving amount of shadow began to expand from under the thing’s foot, seemingly crawling towards them while the Salesman remained "smiling".

Even Millis had grown unnerved by the thing; her constant bright smile now gone.

The Rabbit laughed lightly and quietly under her mask.

’This is the worst, WORST-case scenario...!’

If she were in her physical body right now...

She would have no doubt suspect that she would be dripping in sweat by now.

"SKREEEEH!"
