Villain's Survival: SSS Class Infinite Copy Eyes-Chapter 49. Who are you?

"It’s because I wanted to kill you."

The temperatur ein the room semed ot suddenlt freeze.

"Every second of every day since you ruined my life, I’ve imagined it. Visualized it. Craved it. There hasn’t been a single day where I didn’t picture plunging a blade rightthrough your heart."

As Charlotte started rambelling. Licht said nothing but his fingers twitched, towards

"I know Licht D. Valtier," Charlotte whispered.

"I know him better than anyone. He’s a cruel arrogant being that never leaves any loose ends."

She looked up at him, voice tightening with the weight of something

"You said you saved my life so you could torment me. Make me suffer. But that’s not it, is it?"

"...What are you getting at?" Licht asked, though his tone had lost its usual confidence.

Charllote just smiled

"I know Licht D. Valtier better than anyone... that’s why I know you’re not him."

She took one final step forward, close enough that Licht could see the cracks in her expression. rage, confusion, grief, all flickered across her face like a glitching screen

Her next words were a fragile whisper, like the crack of glass just before it shatters.

"So I’ll ask you again..." repeated Charlotte

"Just who are you?"

Hearing this question, Licht froze

He had to admit it: Charlotte had read him like a book.

He had been influenced by his body’s previous condition but not fully controlled so he had done a few little workarounds.

Because of Licht’s reculsive and weird personality, people just thought his actions were the same, but He should have known that Charlotte would notice the difference.

Others might’ve overlooked it, but she, the one who’d hated him more than anyone alive, knew him too intimately.

His body seemed to have an intense reaction to not being called a valtier and uregd him to speak.

"Don’t insult me or my bloodline," Licht said coldly. "I am a Valtier."

Charlotte heard this and smiled faintly.

"You said you’re a Valtier," she said. "But not that you’re Licht Valtier."

Licht fell silent.

He didn’t know what to say, so he just... shut up.

She tilted her head and began musing aloud.

" Who are you then? A twin? No, that would be too convenient and is hard to keep from the public eye. Plastic surgery, maybe? No... It’s not that the face is exactly the same, without any possible difference"

Then, a thought hit her

"Ah! Yes, there’s that, Demonic possession! You’re not Licht Valtier ..... you’re a Void Demon!"

What the hell? Licht’s mind recoiled.

When he heard Charlotte’s outlandish conclusion, He nearly jumped up and calld crazy on the spot.

Did she even know what she was suggesting?

Where the hell did she think they were standing right now?

This wasn’t something that could be just said as a joke!

If enough people listen to what she said, Licht would be arrested at the bare minimum

But as Licht thought about things more, it only got worse.

Wait... the Valtier family isn’t just a noble family. They’re a family with ancient ties to the Void and demons.

If someone looked closely, really closely, it wouldn’t be impossible to suspect a Void Demon that had infiltrated the bloodline.

If he tried to claim innocence and say it was just a result of his valtier bloodline, the valtier family would denounce him as a mad demon that was spouting lies and feed him to the wolves.

In other words, he was fucked!

’Shit! Even though her conclusion is wrong, Charlotte can’t be allowed to live! Even though I’m not a void demon, if I’m investigated and exposed, then I’m as good as dead!’

Licht quickly reached for his sword, but before he could even move, Charlotte smiled beautifully and dropped to her knees.

Sob.

Then another.

Sob sob sob.

She began to cry, and it wasn’t a graceful cry either. Despite her astonishing beauty, at this moment her cry could only be described as ugly and pathetic.

That’s because it was not a cry of victory or joy, instead It was the cry of someone shattered by the weight of their own hatred and self-loathing, knowing that the person they lived to kill had died in such an anti-climactic way. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Licht just stood there, watching Charlotte break apart like wet paper.

And then, through Charlotte’s messy, pathetic sobs, she heard it.

"Thank you... demon. Thank you."

Those words stopped Licht cold and nearly made him drop his sword

She... was thanking him?

Charlotte believed he was a Void Demon, a creature born from the outer realm with the sole purpose of the destruction and consumption of human souls. The apex enemy of humanity and a creature taught in every Slayer academy to be hunted, hated, and destroyed.

Charlotte believed she was facing such a monster, and yet, here she was, weeping in gratitude.

The feeling of gratitude came not because he’d spared her, nor was it because he had saved her life.

No, the real reason she felt grateful was because, in her mind,

He had killed Licht Valtier.

Charlotte wept for a little while longer, but after a while, her sobs quieted.

She wiped her eyes and slowly stood up, regaining her composure like nothing had happened.

"I’m sorry you had to see all that," she said.

Licht still said nothing.

Charlotte glanced at him and smiled knowingly.

"Are you afraid I’ll expose you as a Void Demon?"

Licht flinched

Seeing this, Charlotte covered her mouth and let out a soft laugh.

"Don’t worry. Void Demon or not, I don’t care."

She stepped closer.

"As the person who killed Licht... I’ll always be grateful to you. So as long as you’re not planning to destroy the world or anything," she shrugged, "I won’t stop you. I won’t even report you."

Licht’s jaw nearly dropped.

Did she even hear herself?

The very first thing they teach Slayer Cadets is that Void Demons can’t be trusted. Their only goal is to tear open the barriers of the world and plunge everything into the Abyss.
