Reborn As Villain's
Chapter 49: Filaret vs. Tanifa.

"My name is Tanifa Lakes Vries....... Hey, hey, little girl....... Your hairpin from Hope Diamond, right?...... Can you make me ngak?".

"Huh?..... What are you talking about? you fucking circus whore..... Just so you know, this hair clip is a from-------".

Filaret who was talking was shocked because suddenly, an attack shot towards her hairpin and dropped her.

"I told you, right?...... Give me what I ask for".

Apparently, Tanifa threw something at Philaret and forced her to give up what she wanted.

Silent for a moment, Filaret, whose facial expression darkened, lowered her head and took back the fallen hairpin.

"As far as you know, this brace is a gift from the person who is most precious to me..... Forcing me to give it to you?..... Do you want to die, huh?".

With an intimidating aura, Filaret threatened Tanifa with a gaze full of intense killing intent.

Instead of being afraid, Tanifa just remained relaxed responding to the threat from Filaret just now. Then he nodded his head several times as if he was understanding something.

"Hm, hm, hm....... All right, then.... I'll kill you and take it myself".

After saying that, Tanifa flicked her finger. Then came a handcuff on both legs connected to the handcuffs on Tanifa's own two legs.

(Foot cuffs?).

Filaret, who was still curious about the bracelet that appeared in his hand, was again surprised because from above it appeared the face of a giant clown and also several robot-like figures sitting in the jury chair.

"Clown face and clown jury, yes..... Plus the audience I think is the slave you bought".

"He and the three judges there are the ones who orchestrated this circus.... And they were slaves who sat down to be spectators..... While you and I are the performers.... If we fail to give an entertaining show, we will get a penalty".

"You think I care!!!".

Without further ado, Filaret darted straight at Tanifa and at once weaved his scythe. However, strangely not only the attack turned in another direction even Filaret also changed positions.

"Eh?".

Of course, Filaret was surprised by it, and Tanifa who had managed to avoid the attack seemed happy. Then he realized something.

(true too..... Right before my attack on him, this Tanifa..... Hand gestures like Phantonyms...... I thought he was joking..... Turns out the move was to avoid my attack, yes).

"That was great".

"Lt's amazing".

"You're cool".

"You're great, Miss Tanifa".

Filaret immediately glanced at the jury and the clown's face seemed to praise Tanifa's performance. Getting praise and attention, Tanifa felt happy to dance.

"Thank you for the compliment..... Btw, little girl.... Did you forget.... If our job is to "entertain" everyone..... But, you didn't do well..... Therefore, you will get..... Penalty".

"""RETURN MY MONEY!!!!""".

Surprisingly, both the clown face on the ceiling and the clown judges sitting on the sidelines immediately rained down on Filaret with many knives.

Getting an attack from 2 directions, Filaret revolved his Scytan while trying to fend off every knife that came. Even so, his body was still hit by a knife throwing attack.

"Don't be surprised, little girl.... This is how this cycad works..... Btw, these handcuffs won't come off until one of us dies".

At the same time, Tanifa threw something at Philaret. And surprisingly, there suddenly appeared many mysterious wounds that appeared out of nowhere.

His deep horn, wounds all over his body. Filaret spewed blood from his mouth.

"Ummm.....Ughhh!!!".

(The cards?..... How did it get out of my body?...... He also repelled my attack with a hand gesture..... What kind of trick is this?).

""""That's amazing!!!"""".

(The clown face and the three judges commented on what I was doing, meaning it was a 5 vs 1 fight).

Then Filaret took a deep breath and used it. Thus, Filaret returned to being a little calm.

(I need to calm down..... Remember what Nii-san said..... "Don't rush to attack your opponent. Slowly analyze first, arrange a plan, and then execute when there is a gap"...... Now, I have to watch it until I know how this circus works).

Filaret decided to remain silent and not take action while analyzing the situation she was in.

"Hmmm..... You decided to keep quiet and observe the situation, yeah...... What a rational attitude........ And boring".

"Huh?".

"If you can be honest.... Actually, I don't like obedient girls like you.... You are too rigid, we should be free to act in accordance with the wishes of our hearts.... Like taking what we want, killing people we don't like, and so on...... All of that, to make us live happier..... That way of life.... I think it's very boring".

Filaret was silent after hearing what Tanifa had said. There was silence between the two and tensions rose dramatically. After some time, Filaret who was bowed with a dark expression began to speak.

"Once, yeah..... In short, you want to be free, right?..... And you want to live without rules?.... Hmphc.... Then just do as you please.... After all, it's all no relationship and a big difference to me..... We humans are emotional beings.... It is not in our nature to think rationally all the time".

Along with the words of Philaret, a few small balls of fire appeared around Philaret's body and slowly began to grow.

"In short, you can kill people because of emotions.... Stealing from envy.... Torturing people just for fun..... That's my business, not mine..... But, what I clearly know is...... As long as you accept responsibility then it's not a problem..... And the name "responsibility" is absolute".

Tanifa was surprised, not because of the words of Philaret but because of the many large balls of fire that appeared around Philaret.

"While I sometimes become a dissident.... And often misused by certain persons..... I know that the whole point of rules and laws is to protect those bees and helpless people from a mad woman like you..... Just do as you please, I don't care".

"You're kind of advising me on the Rules and the Law.... But, you yourself don't care about your surroundings...... Do you realize you're a lot of shit, you know".

After that, Tanifa again made a move like throwing something. Simultaneously, Filaret stomped his left leg and an invisible wall appeared behind him.

Then there was an explosion, apparently Filaret created an invisible wall using light magic to protect from an attack coming from his rear.

Filaret's left hand was pointed backwards to retrieve the object used to attack him which was apparently a card and showed it to Tanifa.

"Hmmm....... I thought you were a fraud.... Your magic is transparent.... Where you can disguise yourself or any object you want with the surrounding environment..... What a cheap trick".

"Heeee.....".

Said Filaret who successfully analyzed Tanifa's magic power. And Tanifa herself smiled as if satisfied with Filaret's conclusion.

"Well, now..... It's time for you to meet your own rules".

After saying that, the fireballs that surrounded Filaret immediately shot out at high speed towards Tanifa.

To be able to avoid the consecutive fireball attack, Tanifa again made the Phantonymous movement as before.

Not only that, the face of the clown in the sky and the three judges outside the arena also helped by showering Filaret with many sharp knives.

Realizing this, Filaret cast a magic spell and implanted it into his Crescent, and the Crescent was magically lifted up and revolved around Filaret while protecting him from all the raining down of the incoming knives.

Even so, there were still some knives that escaped and were stuck in the body of Filaret. But, he ignored that and the pain, and focused on his fireball magic attack on Tanifa.

(He..... Ready to get hurt).

Seeing Filaret still kekeh did attack even though his body was hit by a knife, Tanifa was surprised.

Over time, the fireball attack of Filaret did not stop or weaken. But, more and more powerful.

"Shy".

Tanifa who could not constantly fend off the attack, took off her handcuffs and jumped back out of the arena.

Seeing Tanifa's actions, Filaret stopped her attack and opened her voice.

"Hmmm...... So, from the beginning you did have the key, huh...... Oh my..... You're a real con man, yes...... You made the rules yourself.... But, instead you yourself are violating it if the situation does not match what you want".

Then, slowly, Filaret began to pluck all the knives that had been stuck in her body as she continued to speak.

"Oh, yeah..... You were right when you said you weren't boring..... But if I can be honest, for me you're too pretentious about freedom..... Remembering your perfunctory self describes the rules".

Tanifa immediately lowered her head down upon hearing what Philaret said.

Then slowly his body began to tremble and his smooth laughing voice began to sound.

"Damor...... Hahaha........KYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.......!!!!!!".

With an extremely loud laughing voice and echoing throughout the circus tent. Tanifa raised her face which was filled with incredible madness.

Even until the slaves who were forced into the audience were frightened to the point of dripping cold sweat.

"Haha...... I didn't expect a little girl like you to talk about such a boring thing.... If you don't like it, just break it...... But, it seems like you really like to be tied up. Even if it'll choke you to death".

Then, Tanifa took out a huge weapon in the shape of 2 giant discs that she held in both hands and spoke.

"The poor girl...... Let me kill you.... And deliver you from the suffering of this world".

"I don't need your mercy...... And let me show you how free you are, after I bury your corpse into a pit".

Not to be outdone, Filaret also grabbed back her magic-enhanced Crescent and prepared for a direct fight with Tanifa.

(--------------------)

On the other side.

Morgan squeaked his back teeth as a form of aggravation because he saw Dylan and Awin very easily slaughter all the knights sent to them.

"Damn, shit, shit...... What the hell are those two boys?!!!! How can they defeat our knights so easily".

"Hmmm..... If we let them get to this place".

The Thousand Faces who had expected this to happen were thinking how to prevent Dylan and Awin.

"Where's Morgan going?".

"I'm sick of those two boys..... So let me get rid of them".

With emotional footsteps Morgen immediately left the Thousand Faces to stop Dylan and Awin.

"Justy, yare..... Hot blood base..... Hmmmmm..... I think I should go too".

Faces then began packing up all the documents and putting them into his item box.

"The place I'm handing it to you".

Faces then left after talking to the figure behind the shadow that was in the corner of the room.

He then looked straight at the magic screen and his eyes were focused on only one person - Dylan.

Back to Dylan and Awin who were running in the hallway after both of them slashed away the guard knights.

However, his second move stopped after seeing Morgen standing in front and blocking them.

"RANCID BOCAH!!!".

While shouting Morgen started to blow up his magic energy and in an instant he turned into a Chimera prostrate a huge horned and sharp hoofed Lion.

"Annick..... Leave him to me.... You just go".

"alright... Careful yeah".

After that, Dylan immediately threw a small bottle that was so exploded and created a light that dazzled Morgen's eyes.

Dylan took advantage of the moment to run and slide under Morgen. Realizing that Dylan had escaped, he immediately turned his back and was about to chase after him.

"I WON'T LET IT".

BANGS.

But, a kick directly landed towards his face. And that kick, it came from Awin.

"Where are you going? Your opponent is me".

(--------------------)

The direct battle between Filaret and Tanifa was inevitable. Each time, the sickle of Philaret and their Disc intersected created sparks that signified how sharp each of their weapons were and the attitude of the two who would not budge.

After an intense gunfight, Tanifa decided to jump back and take distance from Filaret while dodging his attack.

On top of a giant ball that appeared out of nowhere Tanifa began to cast her magic spell.

"Transparace Magic: Deciusication".

Miraculously the whole body of Tanifa disappeared, like merging with the environment around us and making Filaret surprised.

(Disappeared?).

Unable to see Tanifa's whereabouts, Filaret tried to pay close attention to her surroundings. But one thing he did not realize was the figure of Tanifa who was already behind him.

And without the slightest hesitation, Tanifa directly slashed Philaret's back with one of his discs.

Fortunately, the slash was not too deep. Even so the wounds received could be categorized as severe it was evident by the blood rushing out of it.

The injured Filaret could only be shocked while enduring the pain. But Filaret still did not give up.

After that the second attack came immediately. And this time came from many directions and showered him Philaret with many slashes.

Filaret, who did not know where Tanifa was as strong as possible, survived the attack.

(I can't hear and even feel his presence while he's attacking..... How he.).

When Philaret tried to analyze what was really going on. His gaze was sidetracked with the figure of Tanifa who suddenly appeared before him with a smile.

"Pity yes..... You suffered because of me.... But, how?..... Your magic is great, right?.... Well, even though it's not really my magic".

"uh? Whatchu mean?".

The confused Filaret accidentally leaked her voice so Tanifa happily told a story.

"Look at the little girl..... Actually, I took part in this "Chimera's Projects..... But, unlike Leona-san and old man Hendry who managed to get to turn into half a magical beast..... I can't even".

A disappointed expression was displayed by Tanifa. However, in an instant his expression turned happy.

"But..... Even though I can't change like them..... I can use the power possessed by that magical beast..... And this magic, for example..... The transparent magic I got from this Basil lizard could deprive my entire being of the opponent's perception....... So, little girl..... You have no chance to dodge or even run away from me in front of this power".

After proudly exaggerating his strength. He disappeared again and without the slightest bit of mercy.

"Now..... I'll set you free.... By releasing you from this world".

He showered Philaret with many slashes from many directions, Philaret who could not dodge or run could only be as strong as possible to defend.

Meanwhile, the spectators who saw that one-sided slaughter scene could really only goosebumps.

However, despite being showered by the many attacks that seem endless. I don't know why Philaret smiled.

"so yeah..... I get it now..... Because of your Chimera powers..... Hence, you can disguise your presence with the surroundings..... So that I can't fight back...... But...... Unfortunately, I'm not Nii-san who thinks complicated".

After muttering like that, the energy in Filaret's magic began to increase drastically and then he started to speak again

"Unique Skill activate.... Magic Up's".

Filaret activated her Unique Skill called Magic Up.

Magic Up's.

As the name implies, this skill increases the power, effectiveness and flexibility of Filaret's magic. When this skill is active even a simple magic spell will provide great damage when exposed to enemies.

The weakness of this Unique Skill was that it took Filaret a few seconds to formulate the magic she wanted to use in order to increase her effectiveness. And he can't move from the spot when he's doing this process that makes him full of gaps.

Activating the skill, Filaret's eyes turned extremely bright then with a slow movement she stood upright and both her hands were directed around then she started chanting her magic spells.

"Magic Up's. The Hellfire: Calamity Supernova".

Then a kind of whirlpool of fire arose under Philaret's feet and miraculously the whirlpool of fire began to grow and burn the entire circus to the whole.

And of course, Tanifa who had been camouflaging was also burning, and all the iron that was there also melted because of the heat of the fire.

Filaret used fire magic called Calamity Supernova. And as the name implies, this fire has a high heat temperature of about 1700° Celsius so that it can melt sand into glass.

However, considering that Filaret used the Magic Up skill to strengthen her magic. So the temperature produced also increased dramatically to 2000° Celsius so that it can melt Titanium iron.

(This girl turned the circus arena on fire and went in all directions).

Tanifa who was screaming in pain was completely shocked by Filaret's actions that were beyond her expectations.

Then in excruciating pain and a sense of burn. The helpless Tanifa tried to crawl ahead of Filaret.

"YOU..... WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT BURNING EVERYTHING DOWN?!!!!".

"uh? Wh why? Isn't it obvious..... I don't like to think complicated..... And because I can't catch you or slash you.... Then I burn everything so it's easier".

Hearing Filaret's casual reply made Tanifa even more astonished and went back to scouting Filaret.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT?!!!!..... DON'T YOU HAVE ANY FEELINGS?!!!!..... DON'T YOU THINK ABOUT THE FATE OF THE PEOPLE ON THE BENCH WHO ARE ON FIRE!!!".

Tanifa pointed at the slaves who were forced into the audience, screaming in pain as a result of falling victim to the infuriated flames of Filaret.

However, a different response was shown by Filaret. From his face was disgusted to see those people.

"uh? What do you care about me?"

"Eh?".

"That's right..... That's why, for the sake of the people I love...... I'll do anything".

"Huh?.... What are you talking about?".

Tanifa was more and more confused by what Philaret had said.

"If Dylan Nii-san is your opponent...... After beating you..... He would start thinking of saving these slaves..... Whatever the circumstances, conditions, and whatever..... But, uh,......".

Filaret then showed a facial expression filled with cruel madness, her wide smile and her cheeks that became red.

Even Tanifa who had gone mad could see the incredible madness and obsession just from her eyes to give her goosebumps.

"...... Such a heavy burden, I don't think Nii-san needs to bear it..... That is why, I tried to prevent Nii-san from suffering before it was too late..... All this I do is just because I love her".

Tanifa who heard that could only be glued still without being able to say anything after hearing Filaret's absurd reasoning.

"You..... Indeed indeed...... Madcap".

After saying that, Tanifa exhaled her last breath and followed by the cries of pain from the burned slaves also disappeared.

And not long after, the fire started to go out. Everything turned to ash and even the concrete wall also melted because of the heat.

In addition, apparently the Philaret attack also burned the roof wall so that it also melted and created a large hole in the middle of the Monarch city road.

"Okay one problem is sorted out..... Now, just find a way to catch up with Nii-san and Awin-san".

While drinking the Exilir he brought Filaret immediately stepped away from the place with his leisure.
