Genius Swordsman In Reverse Game

Whoosh—

Hundreds of black shadows rise, guarding her as if in homage, swaying in the air.

"Succubus, incubus. You cannot defeat me within my domain."

She said coldly.

"Huh… What's this?"

I couldn't help but exclaim, the sight before me eliciting a spontaneous laugh.

'Is she a necromancer?'

The shadows seemed to have their own will, suggesting that her affinity was with the souls of the dead.

Dealing with the dead was not a rare affinity in Velvets. There were necromancer awakeners, but they didn't stand out much.

The ability was inefficient, with low highs and not-so-high lows. Moreover, the more useful necromancers tended to appear as enemy as demons.

'Necromancers typically had to use the corpses of monsters, and even then, the raised corpses couldn't be used indefinitely…'

Among the characters who exhibited their abilities by consuming limited resources, one similar to Lim Ga-eul was the necromancer.

However, unlike Lim Ga-eul, who could use high-quality mana stones to maintain her powers throughout a battle, most necromancers had short summoning durations. On top of that, their AI was simplistic and lame.

When Velvets was just a game, one might have wondered if necromancers were simply a quirky concept play option. But now that it had become reality, the reason was clear.

'Controlling multiple summons alone requires a strong influence on intelligence and mental fortitude.'

In other words, it's like having dozens of hands on one person, each drawing different shapes. For an ordinary person, handling such a task with their brain is impossible without exceptional abilities. That's why most necromancers weren't born with such abilities and ended up being unwelcome in any party, a sad fate.

But what about the woman before me who commands these shadows?

Instead of raising bones, she commands souls, and each shadow moves independently.

I slashed my sword sideways while dodging the onslaught of shadows rushing at me in perfect unison.

Shaaaark!

But a shadow passed through me with a shush, a phenomenon I had experienced when I was dragged into this place.

"….Is this… completely immune to physical attacks?"

Even if magic attacks are their weakness, if they are completely immune to physical attacks, it would still make certain chapters a breeze.

Wooooooosh!

The shadows that had risen again rushed towards me.

Thwack!

As I backflipped,

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The shadows created a series of craters in the spots where I had been standing. And in that moment, I narrowed my eyes.

'Hmm, could it be…?'

I waited for the enemy's attack, and just before it made contact with my body, I slashed my sword again.

Screeeech!

This time, the shadow made a scraping sound as it dispersed.

'As I thought, they only materialize at the moment of attack. Well, it makes sense; if they were completely immune to physical attacks, it would be too overpowered.'

Even so, it was still a scam.

The more I confirmed her abilities, the more my desire to recruit her into our Utopia Party grew.

Currently, the composition of the Utopia Party is as follows:

Main Dealer: Kang Do-hee.

Tank: Yirui.

Support: Lim Ga-eul.

Healer: Sofia.

And finally, Sub-Dealer and Party Leader: Me.

One position is still vacant—the 'Specialist'.

This role is responsible for dealing with large numbers of enemies by deploying wide-area attacks. It's an essential role in large-scale battles.

Originally, Shin Se-hee, who uses fire magic, would fit this position, but she's an operator, not a combat specialist.

So far, when facing multiple enemies, we've relied on the strong firepower of Do-hee and me, along with Ga-eul's supporting skill, 'Acceleration', to increase our attack speed and perform group battles.

However, the enemies we'll face will only get stronger, and this approach will soon reach its limit.

'Hmm, definitely…'

Wooooooosh!

I surrounded my left arm with mana and deliberately allowed one of the shadow's attacks to land.

Thwack!

I felt a dull impact, and my left arm felt slightly heavier.

'Hmm, what's this? Do you also have a curse as an attack passive?'

The attack power was embarrassingly weak compared to Do-hee's, but the role of the Specialist is to deal with mobs anyway.

With a little more training, there's definitely room for improvement.

'Hmm, I was originally planning to bring in a character from the next episode as the Specialist…'

It seemed like I'd have to give up on that character or assign them to a separate sub-party. This girl seemed like a much better fit for our main party.

'Since Do-hee and I mainly engage in close-quarters combat… when we use magic to unleash wide-area attacks on the enemy, there's a delay in our damage output.'

While powerful magic is raining down on the enemy, there's a risk of getting caught in the crossfire, so Do-hee and I have to stay put.

But with this girl commanding shadows to take on multiple enemies… the Specialist can go wild without holding back Do-hee and me.

Hmm, the more I think about it, the more convinced I become. She definitely fits better in our main party.

"….How…?"

As I barely allowed any of the shadow's attacks to land and cut them down, she stared at me in disbelief.

"Incubus, how did you dodge my attacks…?"

She was drenched in cold sweat, her body trembling as if she had just recovered some health, but it was still in a dangerous state.

I nodded as I looked at her.

'Further verification would be too risky.'

Thwack!

I infused my foot with mana and kicked off the ground.

Dark stride.

With a long stride, I dashed through the shadows blocking my path, appearing behind her.

Thud──

I lightly tapped her on the back of her neck.

"….!"

She widened her eyes in surprise at the sudden movement, but soon lost consciousness and slumped to the ground.

Thud.

'As expected, the best way to deal with this type is to take out the summoner.'

.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it──!"

Suzuki Satoru, Apostle of the Succubus, Incubus, and his devotee.

His back was severely hunched, his eyes moved independently of each other, his teeth protruded hideously, and the scars on his skin made his already hideous face even more terrifying.

He contorted his ugly face.

"What the hell are these damn brats doing here!!!"

His grand dream of creating his own Eden Garden in the Jukai Forest was almost at its climax. How could there be interruptions at such a crucial time? He couldn't understand what was happening.

"I thought no one would dare come to the Jukai Forest… Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

What's more, the intruders were hunters with monstrous abilities.

Normally, they should have been trapped in the powerful mist of the Incubus' gift, the Dream Fog, and become monster food. But for some reason, it didn't work on them.

Instead, as time passed, they seemed to develop a resistance, and their pace of advancing through the mist only increased.

The monsters he had lured to them had already been wiped out several times.

At this rate, it was only a matter of time before they discovered him.

Satoru anxiously chewed on his fingernails.

"I, I have to run away… But, but…"

Even though he knew he should flee immediately, his feet wouldn't move.

Satoru, who had hidden himself in the Jukai Forest to avoid people's stares due to his unsightly appearance, had stumbled upon her by chance.

A nun, alone in this terrible forest, mourning the dead with graceful gestures.

'Ichika.'

Transcendent beauty beyond the mortal realm, unwavering mental fortitude, and an unmoving expression. When he saw her, Satoru felt a slimy and damp darkness within himself.

Satoru had succumbed to the voice in his heart and become an Apostle and one of the Incubus.

'I, I'm almost done… Just a little more, just a little more, and Ichika will be mine…'

Her noble spirit had not yet been corrupted by the power of the Incubus, but her body was almost completely under his control.

Every time she touched his body with lustful gestures, he felt an indescribable euphoria.

Soon,

Even her lofty spirit would be corrupted.

Her contemptuous expression would be replaced by a look of desire for him.

However, he had noticed that her body had been weakening lately, but he assumed it would be resolved once the brainwashing was complete.

"I, I have to go back to Ichika first…! I'll hurry up and finish the corruption, and then we'll run away together!"

The power of seduction is usually achieved through physical contact, and the deeper and more intimate the contact, the greater the effect.

In other words, Satoru was planning to embrace Ichika.

"Cough, cough, Ichika… Your first time might, might hurt a bit… But, but we don't have time now… So, you'll, you'll definitely feel good."

Originally, he wanted to take his time and make her desire him, making her kneel before him, but now he had to force it due to the lack of time.

Anticipation caused his manhood to bulge prominently under his clothes.

"And, and Eden Garden… I can always create it later. Ah, we'll go somewhere no one will find us, where no one knows… Just the two of us! Ham, together, happily. That, that's what we'll do."

Satoru nodded seriously and hurriedly ran through the forest path. Just before reaching the place where Ichika was, he suddenly stopped as if he had just remembered something.

"Ah, wait, that's right. Ah, no matter how rushed I am, I can't show my ugly appearance."

Satoru used the power of the Incubus to create an illusion over his face and body.

The hideous face was hidden, and in its place appeared a handsome, sleek man.

Finally, what he saw when he entered the place where Ichika was…

"….You, you, wha, wha─!!!!!"

Ichika was asleep in the arms of a man.
