The Author's POV

Chapter 205

Le manoir vert, third floor.

Moving forwards, Donna felt the thread of energy lingering in the air become thicker. Her brows were fully knit.

"This should be the place..."

Donna stopped in front of a room. That was where she felt the thread of energy was coming from.

"Crap!"

Suddenly, Donna opened her eyes wide.

—Bam!

Without a second thought, she broke the door open. After she got close enough, she understood what the thread of energy meant.

A portal!

Someone was trying to open a portal.

"...I knew that something was odd"

Only demons and villains could make such portals. Even among villains, one had to be contracted with a powerful demon in order to do this.

"Oh? It seems like you've found me"

On the other side of the room, a skinny individual with sunken cheeks stood up. Behind him, a translucent black portal appeared.

"It's been a while calamity witch Donna Longbern"

"...Edumud"

Donna's face became complicated.

Edmund Rice, rank 198 of the Villain ranking.

An ex-classmate of Donna.

Her impression of him was faint. He was a loner. He never interacted with others. Naturally, because of this, she did not know much about him. All she knew was that one day he had disappeared and reappeared as a notorious villain a few years later.

Deranged reaper.

That was his nickname.

"What happened to you why did you turn out this way?"

"Ah well, shit happens ya know"

Edmund shrugged his shoulders. Looking at Donna, he smiled.

"How long has it been since we last saw each other? Five years? Seven years? It's been so long..."

"I'll give you one warning, stop whatever you're doing, else..."

Whiiing—!

A black whip suddenly appeared in Donna's hand. Her amethyst-colored eyes lit up.

"It's too late...I'm already done!"

Edmund smiled. Two daggers appeared in his hands. Without wasting any time, he pounced Donna.

—Kacha!

"You!"

Like a snake, Donna's whip suddenly flew and headed in Edmund's direction. At the same time, her eyes lit up even more.

"It's useless!"

—Clank!

Crossing his two daggers into an X position, Donna's whip and Edmund's daggers clashed. The loud sound of metal clashing resounded across the place.

Taking a step back, Edmund closed his eyes.

"Regardless of how much you try, you won't be able to tempt me with your art!"

As long as he did not look into Donna's eyes, Donna's art wouldn't be able to affect him.

"Let's see how long you can keep that act for!"

Enraged, Donna's whip struck down repeatedly. Each time her whip clashed with Edumund's dagger, sparks flickered.

—Clank! —Clank!

Like that, unbeknownst to anyone, a fight amongst ranked individuals began on the third floor.
