Chapter 09 : Fighting a Tyrant Reject

"Hah?! You?! Kill us?! Are you high, kid?" the man asked me. He is wearing a generic scientist outfit with goggles on his head. Wow… can't it be more cliché than this?

"You interfere my first date with my aunt. For that, you deserve to be killed. I rarely get angry but this time, I will set my mind to kill you," I readied the katana in my hand.

"Do you think a kid like you can kill my Hulbrog Mk-II? Think again, kid! I made this buddy by combining 1 human, 1 elf, and beast kin! Natural instincts of a human, high mana capacity from the elf, and the strength of the beast kin! This is the ultimate specimen I had created!" the man shouted manically while spreading out his arms.

"You… experimented on men and women?" At that point of time, my mind went blank. He… experimented on peoples.

"Yes, so what? It is part of my hobby, to create a superior race. They should be glad that they could contribute to my awesomeness!" the man laughed fanatically.

He experimented on peoples for his sick hobbies! Even for a human being, that is the lowest of the low! Even someone like me who is aiming to be an Evil Lord detest it with every fiber of my being!

Killing is okay, I do not mind. We have wars. Torturing is borderline okay as your race will not be change and you can heal after some time (not counting amputation). But the experiment is different. It is not guaranteed that you will be the same after that.

Yes, you can call me a hypocrite for thinking like that. I know that the anime I watched on my way to the capital city is making me think like this. But as someone who lived in the modern-day, I loathe it. Talk about that anime, a certain ochre hair girl from that series appeared in my mind. I suppressed it as this is not the time to think about that depressing anime.

"At first, my reason for killing you was just because you had annoyed me. But now? Congratulation, you are the first one to make me angry like this," I growled. Even my deadbeat parents did not make me angry like this. He is the first one I had set my mind on killing since I was reborn in this world.

"Then try it! Go, Hulbrog Mk-II! Kill that shitty brat!" with the yell from the scientist, the Tyrant reject rushed at me.

I tightly gripped the katana in my hand and make my breathing steady. I cannot let my anger take over me while fighting.

A hand blasted through the walls to smashed me, which I dodged while spinning my body to the side. And then without missing a beat, I swing down my katana to the hand stuck in the ground.

*Clang!*

The hand is hard, and it feels like steel when I swing down my sword to cut it. I immediately moved away as another hand smashed through the place I was before.

*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*

Just as I was dodging left and right from the barrage of punches, multiple water spheres landed on the body of the tyrant reject in front of me.

"I will cover you from behind," I heard a voice of a young girl shouting from behind.

"Stay out of this! I can do this alone," I shouted. Which idiot sent a loli to fight in a life and death battle? Is that guy high?

"No! As a princess of this country, it is my responsibility to protect it. We just need to hold out for a while. The help is on the way," the loli no, the princess shouted back.

Wait… she is the sister of that woman? Did she tell her sister about the sword I had scammed from her? I hope she didn't. I am not giving <White Pride> back to them.

"Hey! Do you have a name?!" I yelled to the back while kept dodging the strikes. The girl sent out water sphere and earth spike from time to time.

"You don't even know the name of the princess of your Empire?! Mark it in your mind! My name is Ulah von Starfall!" she popped the cock of the mana flask and chug it down in a single motion.

"My name is Urien! Urien Gregorios!" I introduced back. It would be rude if I do not introduce back after all.

"I know! I was there when you dueled with a noble for a maid," Oh, now that she mentioned it, I thought I had seen her somewhere. Moreover, what the hell is she doing out here alone?! She is a princess, right? There should at least some bodyguards protecting her. And how much do I need to hold out until the guards arrive to do their jobs? You know what? Fuck it! I am not holding back anymore.

"First Form: Waltz!" I cut the hand that punched me. I look at the giant's face to see if it made any expression, but all I got was a blank face. I see, he had lost his sense of touch.

"How did you cut the hand of Hulbrog Mk-II?! I see, I had based its skin to metal so, of course, it will be weak to fire," the man starts taking note standing on the building not far away.

"Why didn't you do that from the start if you can cut the giant! If you do that from the start, I won't need to drink the mana potion and taste the terrible flavor!" the princess shouted from behind.

"Stop yapping and start firing your magic! I was waiting for your guard! Why the hell are they taking too long?!"

"I sneaked out from the palace!"

"Why would you sneak out from the palace?!"

"I don't know? You try being a princess!"

"No, thanks! I don't want to lose my male part!"

"You are goddamn disgusting, you know that?!"

"Twelfth Form: Flame Dance! And you are bratty!"

"… to the spirits! Earth Spike! I am still 10 years old, what did you expect?! A graceful lady with huge knockers?!"

"How the hell did you learn that word when you are still 10! Sixth Form: Solar Heat Haze!" I shouted back to the bratty princess while slashing my katana to the stomach of the giant.

"Hey! The pot calling the kettle black! You looked like you are the same age as me! Tell me, how do you know that word?!"

"Point taken! Fourth Form: Burning Bones, Summer Sun! Hey! Aim properly! Can't you see he is trying to kick me?!"

"Sorry, it was intentional! *Gulp* *Gulp* *Gulp* Try to finish this quickly if you can! The taste of mana potion is terrible!"

"Then I will drag out the fight! Keep drinking the potion and provide the backup from behind!"

"I hate you!"

"Thank you, the feeling is mutual!"

The two of us are bickering while fighting with the giant in front of us. And the surprising thing was some feelings are starting to show on their face. I mean, their eyes are not as emotionless as before. Well, I don't know if the giant is male or female so, I am using them.

"Please," I heard three voices overlapping when the mouth of the giant open.

"Did that thing just?!" the bratty princess exclaimed. How the hell did she hear it when she was far away from here?

"Don't refer to the giant as that thing, brat!"

"Don't order me, kid!"

"Please… end us," the three voices pleaded in unison.

Oh boy… this is "Edward Onii-chan" scenario all over again.

"I promise," I take my stance for the final bout with the giant.

"Ninth Form: Dragon Sun Halo Head Dance! Ulah, prepare your water element magic!"

I rushed toward the giant with incredible speed while dodging and cutting through the stones he kept on throwing my way. The head of a fire dragon formed as I moved toward the giant.

"Take a good rest. You earned this," I spoke gently to the giant after cutting off their head. The fire burnt through their body and exploded. Thank God, I told the bratty princess to prepare her water magic. If not, the fire would spread across the city.

"ARRRRHHHH!"

I heard screaming behind me. And the scientist bastard had knocked out the mana potion from the hand of the bratty princess and is now carrying her like a sack of potato.

"Put me down!"

"Thank you for your assistance in showing me the weakness of Hulbrog Mk-II. I will be taking this person and take my leave," the scientist gave me a curt bow.

"Urien, save me! I swear! If I die, I will keep haunting you until you die and kill you myself after you died!"

"Do you think I will scare of a mare ghost much less a bratty ghost?! Hah! I can easily send you away with a punch in the face!"

"How will you punch a ghost?! And moreover, how dare you casually talk about punching a girl in the face?! Are you still human?!"

"Sorry, I am an advocate believer of gender equality!"

The scientist just standing there without moving, listening to our bickering with a smirk on his face.

"Hah?! What are –. Hey, creepy man who is carrying a little girl in an improper way. Tell him that being a believer of gender equality is nothing to do with punching a girl," the bratty called for backup… in a form of a creepy scientist.

"I think it does," the man nodded sagely.

"Hah! See that?! Even our enemy agrees with me!" I shouted.

"Why you?! If you do not agree with me, I will shout on top of my lung to let the whole city know that you are a pedophile. So, agree with me, you creep!"

"Well, I think this is enough," the man takes out a switch from the pocket and proceed to press it.

"Oh no you don't," I used Darkness Breathing Third Form: Shadow Dance to appear near him. I grabbed his coat just in time before he presses the switch.

The whole surrounding turns bright and I am now at a different location together with the bratty princess. The scientist is nowhere to be seen.

"I welcome you two from my humble abode. I will release all of my failed experiments so, good luck on getting to my place," the sound of that creep ring out from the speaker. Wait… there are speakers in this age?

"What to do? My mana potions are almost out of stock," the bratty princess muttered while looking through her tiny bag.

"Do you want to bury us alive? Trying to use magic inside the building," I glance at her.

"I can't just stand behind when a kid like you do all the job. Do you have any spare sword?" she asked.

"Who are you calling a kid? Here you go," I pulled out a spare sword from the <Inventory>.

"Thank you. I am calling you a kid, and do you have any problem with that?"

"Of course not. It is the word that comes out from the mouth of a brat. Why would I try to argue with a brat?"

And just like that, we continued to bicker at each other while walking through the large corridor.
