VRMMO: My first Contractee is Yandere

Chapter 8 Descend On The Dark

The man's yelling didn't make the already quiet place any louder.

Screams from her mother and siblings followed, panicked and clear through the thin walls.

Liora, stained red with blood, held her breath.

"What should we do, Liora?"

"Everyone's an enemy... except for the recently born girl. She's not."

"Do you know which house?"

"Yes."

Alright.

The village has around a hundred people. There hadn't been any children born in years, so apart from the newborn, everyone had mistreated Liora.

If it had only been mistreatment, I might have stopped her revenge.

But they had abused her as a village.

They stole her food, made her carry heavy water alone, and beat her if she was late—such despicable acts.

You might think it's just a game, but I want to kill them.

Liora and I get along well.

"First, as planned. Let's set fire to the houses."

Liora lit a fire as instructed. The fire quickly spread through the wooden house, and the villagers, upon seeing it, frantically began firefighting efforts.

A water magician used water, a wind magician tried to prevent sparks from scattering, and an earth magician attempted to extinguish the fire with large amounts of dirt.

Liora dashed into the darkness.

She headed to a nearby house, quickly setting it on fire too, and soon the village was engulfed in flames.

"It's a curse! We should have killed that demon child sooner!"

"So that's why the fire started at that house!?"

No, that's not the reason.

Liora began killing isolated individuals.

I am currently deploying [Dark Aura] on Liora. It's a spell with no particular effect, but it helps her blend into the night.

In an instant, a dozen people were sent to the afterlife.

However, since the bodies were left in plain sight, the villagers finally realized it was a deliberate massacre.

"What's happening!?"

"I don't know! But everyone, gather! Don't scatter!"

"Mommy!"

The surviving villagers gathered in one place, forming a formation to guard all directions.

"Are you ready, Liora?"

"Yes, God."

Liora ran, melting into the night.

She charged straight into a section of the group, using her own body as a bullet, crashing into the mass of villagers.

"Aaaaaaaaahhhh!"

Liora, with eyes spinning wildly, whirled around like a madwoman. In that one attack, five villagers' heads fell to the ground.

The villagers, realizing they were under attack, launched their attacks on Liora at once.

Swords, axes, and magic tore into Liora's young body.

But,

"The suffering you inflicted on her, she's used to that level. Ravage them, Liora."

"God says... kill them all!"

Despite being wounded all over, Liora did not falter.

Liora got up, wiping the blood dripping from her mouth.

With a quick rotation of her eyes, she continued observing. Watching this deadly battle, I floated into the air using my spirit powers.

There she was.

The archer was hiding on the roof of the house she had supposedly escaped from.

It seemed she used a skill to create a decoy and was using some other skill to repeatedly snipe from a surrounding position.

In that case.

I cast [Dark Aura] on the archer.

Suddenly enveloped in darkness, the archer frantically tried to brush it off with her hands. Hearing the noise, Liora was already on the move.

"Shit—The demon child...!"

"God says: Kill them all!"

The archer released an arrow, and Liora threw her scythe.

Only the arrow hit the girl, while Liora's scythe flew in a completely wrong direction. Seeing Liora fall, the archer's face broke into a joyous smile.

"Ha, haha! She's dead! The village's cursed child is dead! My baby and I are safe! I killed her! I won!"

"Too bad, bitch."

"...What?"

I circled behind the archer and cast [Darkness Creation] on her back. A slight push was all that was needed.

On the unstable footing of the roof, just a slight push was enough to send the archer falling to the ground.

She fell hard with her face hitting the ground.

However, her level must have been high.

Despite her face being bloody, the archer survived.

She glared at me, shouting as if to kill me.

"Dark spirit! Just because you can't die, don't get cocky—"

"God is God. Not a dark spirit!"

"!"

The archer, turning around, was too late by a few moments.

Liora's scythe, which I helped her to retrieve, was already placed right at the archer's neck. Feeling the cold blade, the archer's mouth twisted in fear.

A drop of sweat trickled down.

"F-forgive—"

Liora's mouth curled into a smile, like that of Light Yagami's.

She swung her arm, and the archer's head fell.

Ah, the [Darkness Creation] skill I acquired for fun is really handy.

We leveled up.

The archer seemed to be of a higher rank, so just defeating her allowed us to level up.

Thus, Liora's village was annihilated.

The sounds of insects had vanished into the darkness at some point.

The crackling of burning houses was the only sound filling the world.

The sight of the girl, bathed in moonlight, her white skin tear-streaked, was terrifyingly artistic.
