I Reincarnated as a Noble Bastard, So I'm Seducing All the Villainess Chapter 19: Magical Western Movie Chase Scene
I’m seriously considering suicide. I went through all that trouble for nothing? Just for the entire court to explode into little pieces, for Ravenna to co to my ear, call her love, and for us to just leave? Honestly, I don’t even know if it was really the right thing to do, or if I actually got her attention this way.
I only know that, seeing this show unfold around like a New Year’s Eve gone horribly wrong, every plan on the list went down the drain.
The ground beneath loses weight. Ravenna makes a series of strange gestures in the air, and for so reason, we both start floating upward at high speed.
Wait, this is where you die, you crazy woman! The protagonist is going to get you!
Huh? Why is the space around us distorting? Ravenna wraps her arms around as if she’s holding the most precious thing in the world, I can even hear her smacking her lips with delight, and to top it off, her nails snap with black lightning.
Did you want to kill in the end, you lunatic?!?
The purple clouds gradually dissipate, finally revealing the sowhat-ruined hall, but the most important people are fine. My father’s face, in particular, makes feel pity. Now I really wish he would just punch in the stomach and carry away, so I wouldn’t be in this situation.
The lightning in Ravenna’s hands turns into flas, I can feel the heat almost burning my face. We pass through the hole up there and now we’re floating in the air, spinning while clinging to each other.
"What are you doing, Ravenna? I thought we had a deal!"
"What deal? Oh, the favor? I can do it after we escape; your life is not dependent on the favor."
"What do you an, not dependent? I need to be alive to ask for it!"
"Shhh..." she whispers, pressing her mouth to my ear. "Trust , my little fig sweet. It’s going to be beautiful."
I DON’T WANT BEAUTY, I WANT TO LIVE, DAMN IT!
We fly, cutting through the sky like two lovebirds, while below us, screams echo amid the rubble. The ceiling of the courtroom now has a hole so big you can see everything from up here. I can even make out the wide, enormous eyes of the king and Leliana, trying to understand how I got involved with such a dangerous person.
"STOP RIGHT NOW, VILLAIN!"
Of course, the Golden Retriever is coming.
Leonhardt erges from the smoke with his sword pointed upward, the white horse appearing beneath him like a lightning bolt from the gods.
Magical wings sprout from the mount’s hooves, and the two of them literally ride on nothing together! I swear the animal flies after us in a sequence that would make even old Western movie cinematographers choke with envy.
"Release the hostage!"
"Hostage? Kwahahahaha! No, no, dear inquisitor, this one is my love, the only one who listened to . I’m not harming him... it’s just a treat."
"JUST LET TOUCH THE FUCKING GROUND!" I scream, my face green from my stomach churning from all the turns and spins.
Ravenna pulls tighter, almost crushing my face into her breasts with the way she squeezes . The air pressure increases with our speed, but Leonhardt keeps chasing us with that "I’m the hero of this story and I won’t give up on the kidnapped civilian" look.
Ravenna points a hand backward and snaps her fingers. A black lightning bolt crackles through the air and explodes towards Leonhardt, leaving a trail of sulfur and purple hues in its wake.
The inquisitor pulls the reins of his improvised pegasus, forcing it to dive down and swerve. Yeah, maybe the attack was just to scare him, because right after, she tears a series of rips in space, unleashing a barrage of magic.
From an outsider’s perspective, it looks like a super cool light show, but for , it’s like being constantly bombarded by flashes! Arghh, my eyes!
But it doesn’t end there, because Ravenna starts murmuring so really weird words in my ear. I don’t know if it’s to set a mood or if... Oh, you idiot, of course not, it’s an Elven enchantnt!
Witches have this obsession with the Elven tongue and constantly invoke their spirits, but being this woman of all people, I can only imagine one type of creature coming out: a dark spirit. And look, I couldn’t be more right, because the light around us simply vanishes.
The form this thing takes is even worse, a black serpent with a layer of bones over its skin. I’ve never seen this in the novel, but what a hideous thing.
"It’s our pet, my love."
Pet, my ass!
Finally, Leonhardt manages to catch up, but his beloved white horse had to be left behind. He’s floating with a pair of glowing wings and... My eyes, goddammit! I can’t see anything!
The light emanating from Leonhardt’s wings is so intense it seems designed to punish heretics with its sheer brightness. That damn thing shines like a carnival float on a festive day, lting my already damaged retinas with this light show, but the worst part is seeing him clear a path through the dark space like so kind of angel.
"IN THE NA OF THE CROWN, I COMMAND YOU TO STOP NOW!"
"Is he still following us?" Ravenna asks, full of boredom. Only you could be bored by this, right!?
This ti, instead of continuing like in an Arican music video, snapping her fingers, she just waves her hand in the air. The demonic serpent responds to the gesture imdiately, writhing like a devil and shooting towards Leonhardt at an abnormal speed.
The creature opens its mouth, a spear-shaped tongue protrudes, but Leonhardt dodges at the last second, spinning in the air and regaining his balance on his wings as he tries to adjust his posture to face the spirit.
The sword in his hands is coated in a golden flash, and he counterattacks with a slash. The blade releases an arc of light that tears through part of the serpent’s flank, making it shriek with a sound that seems neither human nor animal, but sothing made just to disturb the soul.
Not bad, hero! Maybe you can get out of here!
Ravenna bites her lower lip. That flushed face of hers is super creepy, honestly.
"It’s good to see soone who matches my level... but not enough to make give you up."
"I’M NOT A DAMN WAR PRIZE!"
"Oh, but I’m going to turn you into one, just trust ."
A kiss touches my forehead again, and she buries my head in her big breasts again. Okay, I’m not complaining now.
The problem is what appears in her outstretched hand: an orb made of dark matter, distorting everything around it. This wasn’t in the original novel, I don’t rember this!
The serpent flies in various directions at Leonhardt again, maintaining the pressure, but the most impressive thing is how this guy’s body stays intact considering he seems to be made of porcelain.
A magic barrier rises, and the spirit plunges into the wall, finishing the job with a thrust, generating an energy explosion so intense it vibrates my large intestine... or makes breakfast want to co back up.
When Leonhardt sees us, he tries to shout sothing, but I can’t quite make out what it is. I close my eyes, I can’t take all these lights anymore, and the dizziness keeps hitting from all sides.
Worst action scene of my life. All I wanted was to avoid a decapitation, and now I’m in an aerial chase with a crazy witch and a glowing knight who looks like he was rendered in a different engine.
Huh? What’s that vibration? Ravenna’s holding my chin, I can tell because this chase has more or less given a sense of her touch, but I want to understand why she’s being so clingy.
"Let’s move on to the next act, my love."
She laughs. When I open my eyes again, I can only see cracked air where the dark matter orb should have been. Without any resistance, I’m dragged into this abyss, wherever we’re going.
Ah, what a beautiful thing. The gothic witch used as a guinea pig for so kind of terrorist attack and took advantage of the smoke screen to escape, carrying an "innocent" person after rubbing so many things in the Count’s face.
Was this the plan all along? Anyway, from this angle, I can see Leonhardt one last ti, with his hand outstretched. Hah, my Karma really sucks.
"MISSYEEE!!"
