been stronger than them, but that was on an individual basis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they attacked me together, things might become a bit messy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving one last glance to the corpse near me, I charged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charge in the sense...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I literally ran toward the monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And my opponents weren’t fools either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They charged at me in two separate groups, trying to block my escape route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that I was planning to!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I swung my sword at the one before my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It jumped into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a small jump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It soared some six feet into the air before launching itself in my direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it a kangaroo?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that I had seen one...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shifted to my back foot, aiming to cut its head mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But my lack of combat experience kicked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had forgotten about the other monsters entirely, my focus solely on the one in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three of the rabbits lunged at me from my sides, their fangs aiming for my neck, while their claws were directed at my chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had claws!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And sharp too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I grabbed the one on the left with my bare hand, slamming it into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wham!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its skull was crushed under the sheer pressure of my attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two were inches away from my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My brain went into overload.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could see them moving in slow motion...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or was it me who got faster?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I swung my sword in a diagonal slash, aiming to parry the claws of the one on my right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword not only deflected the attack, but it cut through the monster’s claw, ripping its chest apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splurt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thin line of blood sprayed onto my face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could taste it on my lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disgusting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could wipe the blood, I felt something warm on my back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning my face, I saw a rabbit with its fangs pierced below my shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain began to take over my reasoning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I didn’t have enough time to deal with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster that was already in the air scraped its claws across my face, tearing the skin from my forehead to the side of my jaw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood began to trickle from the wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining three, seeing me in a losing state, lunged at my thighs, biting off chunks of my flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skrch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aargh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pain...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t my first time facing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had been shot many times in my previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, I had been stabbed eight times by one of the assailants from a low-key gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pain wasn’t a new thing for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this level of pain was something new.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every part of my body screamed of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could feel the blood flowing out from the wounds that had been made and the new ones that were being inflicted on my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monsters kept attacking with their claws, trying to rip my body into shreds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I held on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I tried to detach them from my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was easier said than done!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I grabbed the monster on my back, it furiously resisted, moving its claws in wild motions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the claws hit the back of my head, and—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immense pain shot through my nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden pain was so intense that I—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surroundings began to feel dim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light in my eyes was slowly fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could feel darkness drawing my vision blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation was getting out of hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The realization struck me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I kept comparing this world to my old one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I had gravely underestimated this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magnitude of danger here was far more brutal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single bullet to the head was the end for a person on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death felt like mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn’t bear the pain of my life slipping away with every passing second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt agonizing just to live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My will to survive, something that I had always prided myself on, was slowly being shattered under the reality of my situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, I wasn’t X.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wasn’t some demon that the world feared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here—I was just a weak boy with some good brains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any random creature with decent strength was capable of ending my life before I even knew it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt pathetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dying at the hands of a—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rabbit?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ridiculous!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could I even think of death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And against such measly creatures at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This isn’t me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kael.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must have been Kael’s feelings that had taken over me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just a kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such brutal fights must have taken a toll on his mind, which had never faced such pain in its noble life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single cut on his hand would have resulted in a group of healers rushing to cure him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fight...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such brutality must have been taxing on this body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, it makes me wonder...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did his personality take over me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His emotions should have been sacrificed in the ritual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Kael I knew from the game was a monster who was feared, not the other way around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at the monsters clinging to my body, trying to avenge their fallen family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I might just need to do them a favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hehe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And people call me a demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I might just be a saint!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I willed the mana in my muscles, warming them for—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mana in my core was quickly drained to half of its former reserves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could feel the mana traveling to... the injured parts of my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could see all my injuries healing at a breathtaking speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, it wasn’t just healing—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was regenerating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The muscle fibers were being grown out of nowhere, and all the damaged blood vessels were being repaired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though I couldn’t see them, I could feel my nervous system connecting itself to the newly formed muscle fibers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Am I a vampire?!\u003C\u002Fp>",1023,"2026-05-30T14:45:47.000Z","2026-06-01T04:31:30.507Z",1,"novelbin.me","2d4b4d5f15643e7d7507781eddab727901b4c141d16e26d9a52e86309040718e","the-villain-reborn-as-game-s-final-boss-chapter-26","the-villain-reborn-as-game-s-final-boss-chapter-24",257,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-villain-reborn-as-game-s-final-boss-cover.jpg"]
