The Worst Villain is Actually a Cute Girl-Chapter 44

Adam snapped his fingers lightly.

And then—more than a hundred monstrous creatures appeared with ease, surrounding Red from every direction.

Savage beasts the size of elephants, robots of all shapes and sizes, knights in steel armor, grotesque birds with two heads...

It was a chaotic mix with no rhyme or reason—except for one single, undeniable commonality.

Every one of them radiated murderous intent directed at Red.

Surrounded by monsters, she looked like a piece of meat on a plate—but not a hint of fear crossed her face.

Instead, with calm determination, her eyes scanned her surroundings, trying to grasp the nature of Adam’s powers.

A device? Magic? Just how the hell did he summon this many at once?

They’d appeared without any precursor.

All it took was a snap of his fingers—no trace of mana, no magical fluctuation, nothing.

There weren’t enough clues to fully understand it, but one thing was clear: this was Adam’s power.

Adam raised one hand.

Then, with a cold expression:

“Go. Tear her apart—bones and all.”

As his hand dropped, the monsters lunged at Red all at once.

Razor-sharp claws, massive robotic fists, and every kind of attack imaginable came flying at her.

Red leapt, gliding effortlessly past them.

In that moment, a huge claw swiped through the air toward her mid-leap.

Without a second thought, she stepped lightly onto the claw, using it as a springboard to dive straight back to the ground and land without a sound.

Amid the swarm of monsters, Red weaved through them with elegant, feline grace, dodging every attack.

And in between, she struck—solid, heavy kicks and swift, accurate punches.

Beasts with tough hides and rippling muscle were swept away like leaves in the wind by her fists and kicks.

The machines, despite their fancy features, were shattered without so much as leaving a scratch on her.

The armored knights couldn’t even put up a fight.

And the flying creatures that attacked her from above were shot down by debris she kicked upward.

Over a hundred monsters, gone in less than a minute.

“Wahahahaha! Incredible! You really are something else! So this is what it takes to be called an SSS-class fixer!”

Like a child watching his favorite show, Adam laughed with glee.

Even after losing all those pieces, he looked utterly unfazed.

He grinned wide, stretching his lips into a crescent.

“Now we’re just getting started.”

He clapped his hands.

Immediately, a heavy shadow fell over the entire floor.

Red looked up sharply, a slight furrow forming between her brows.

High above, where there had been nothing moments ago, now floated a hideous mass—a grotesque cluster of countless monsters fused together.

They let out a horrific, howling screech—

—and plummeted toward her.

Red kicked a robot head at her feet, launching it with all her strength straight at the descending mass.

With a thunderous boom, the flying hunk of metal ripped through the fused creatures, grinding them to pieces mid-air.

Torn flesh and dark crimson droplets rained down like a monsoon.

The sludge splattered across the ground—and across the people standing there—but didn’t soil them at all.

In fact—

The mangled chunks of flesh, the blood droplets, and the corpses of the first wave of monsters scattered across the floor—

—began to dissolve into tiny motes of light, golden particles drifting through the air.

What had moments before been a grotesque and stomach-churning scene...

...was now transformed into something radiant. Beautiful.

Sparkle. Sparkle.

These weren’t normal living beings.

This translation is the intellectual property of Novelight.

Even though they had physical form, the moment their life ended, not a trace remained. That was enough for Red to be sure.

She turned to Adam.

Her golden eyes gleamed with piercing intensity—burning straight into his.

That savage, blood-colored gaze made Adam’s spine prickle with icy dread.

His shoulders and lips trembled.

Not from fear—quite the opposite.

She’d exceeded his expectations. And that only made his competitive spirit burn even hotter.

Adam’s wide eyes glittered with wild fighting spirit.

“Amazing. Absolutely amazing. To wipe them all out in an instant... Now that’s impressive. Alright. That was just the warm-up. Time to crank up the difficulty. What I summoned so far were just C to B-class grunts. But now...”

Snap!

With another snap of his fingers, a fresh horde of monsters appeared.

They made the first wave look cute by comparison.

Monstrous, savage, and terrifyingly powerful—they radiated pressure dozens of times greater than the ones before.

“Nowwww! These guys aren’t grunts. I summoned monsters ranging from A to S class.”

Following Adam’s command, the new creatures charged at Red all at once.

Red clenched her fist and launched herself forward.

Her movement left no afterimage—she became the wind, slipping between the monsters as she tore through them.

How could anyone catch the wind?

Her enemies couldn’t even brush the edge of her cloak.

A soundless storm raged through their ranks, shredding them to pieces.

Her fluid fists and crushing kicks made the ground quake. The very air split from their force.

These monsters—who had been predators until now—were instantly flipped into prey.

And before they could react, they were obliterated by a single human.

Once again, golden motes of light scattered across the air.

But—

Even after she’d wiped out the new wave, the instant Red blinked, yet another group of monsters had already taken their place—far more in number.

As the battle dragged on, Red couldn’t help but wonder.

“How are there so many of them...?”

She’d asked the question aloud. Every enemy she’d faced so far had eventually wondered the same.

From above, Adam’s voice rang out.

He sat cross-legged on a monstrous creature floating in midair, far above the ground—but his voice rang clear, as if he were right beside her.

With fingers interlaced beneath his chin, he smiled wickedly.

“If you must know... my power is Infinite Summon. An endless stream of forces, pouring out without end. Or to be more precise...”

Adam began explaining his power without hesitation.

Inside his head was a game—a game where a single character endlessly advanced through an infinite dungeon. Each time a dungeon was cleared, it earned him points.

With those points, he could perform gacha pulls to acquire troops.

The advantages of this game were simple:

The character grew stronger endlessly, making each dungeon easier and easier to farm for points.

Even if the character died, it revived immediately, allowing him to continue with no loss.

And best of all—Adam didn’t have to do anything. The game played itself automatically.

In other words, even now, in this very moment, points were piling up and new troops were being pulled.

After hearing all this, Red was dumbfounded by how absurd his ability was—but at the same time, she let out a mocking snort.

“You’re an idiot. What kind of moron reveals his powers so easily to his enemy?”

Adam flapped his mouth, full of smugness, and threw the mockery right back.

“Whether you know or not changes nothing. No matter how powerful you are, you’re still human—your stamina has limits. But my power is infinite. How can one person stand against an infinite army? In the end, I always win.”

Adam stood up and spread his arms wide.

As the wind blew and lights from above rained down, he wore a look of pure bliss.

“And if you really want to know why I told you—it's to show you the truth. The brutal truth that you can never defeat me.”

He closed his eyes.

In the darkness behind his eyelids, scenes from the past played like a movie.

Fixers and gangsters who had once rushed him with defiant eyes full of hope.

The greater the hope, the deeper the despair.

They were crushed by a power they had no chance of overcoming.

He remembered the looks on their faces as they were slammed into the abyss—his lips quivered with pure delight.

Calmly, Adam took ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) a deep breath... and slowly opened his eyes.

“The ones who came at me were just like you—brave, full of hope. But in an endless battle, their stamina and will wore down little by little. In the end, every one of them chose to surrender—faces full of despair.”

His eyes sparkled with twisted purity.

His lips curled upward in euphoria.

Adam lowered his head.

“So? How does it feel, standing before such merciless truth? Does it make you despair? Or do you still think you can win?”

“What a cliché question.”

“Of course—that’s the Red I know, the crime-killer. Let’s see how long those eyes of yours hold out. I want to see them when your convictions shatter and despair floods in.”

“Hah. You really have awful taste.”

“Taste? Ahahaha! With a power like yours, don’t pretend you don’t know this feeling—the thrill of being untouchable, the ecstasy of bending anyone to your will. That euphoric sense of omnipotence... it's beyond words, isn't it?”

Red looked up at Adam.

The moment she saw his expression, her face contorted in disgust.

He was smiling—twisted, delirious, mad with pleasure. Drunk on his own power.

Adam believed in one thing:

Power was everything.

The strong had the right to crush the weak at will.

They even had the right to be forgiven for everything.

To him, it felt like becoming a god.

That was why he planned to one day sit on the seat of one of the Great Sins—ruling over the criminal underworld, surpassing the Four Great Syndicates, and seizing the city itself.

Now, with the battle below as his music, Adam conducted the scene like a maestro, hands moving gracefully.

This time, SS-class monsters appeared, charging at Red.

And for a brief moment, Red was pushed back.

But she showed no sign of exhaustion. Instead, she pushed her strength even further—and the SS-class monsters exploded one after another.

No matter how many were slain.

No matter how many were summoned.

They just kept coming.

While summoning wave after wave of powerful monsters to crush Red, Adam suddenly remembered something.

“Ah~ that’s right. You sponsor that orphanage, don’t you? Once I finish you off, I’ll be sure to—”

BOOM!

Adam didn’t finish.

The ground vanished from beneath his feet.

He looked down.

The monster he’d been riding was shattered into pieces.

He was falling.

“WAAAAAAAAH!”

Adam didn’t have the reflexes to break his fall—he quickly summoned another monster to cushion the impact.

“Ghk... What the hell just happened...?”

Holding his head, still dizzy, Adam looked around.

And his face twisted in frustration.

Up until now, the monsters Red had destroyed had left behind golden particles floating in the air.

But now—

Everything was covered in a golden fog so thick he couldn’t see.

Step. Step.

Adam turned toward the sound of footsteps.

Through the haze of golden mist, a pair of glowing red eyes emerged—gleaming, unwavering.

He instinctively recoiled, feet slipping out from under him, and fell flat on his back.

A strange chill prickled through his skin.

A crawling unease wrapped itself around him like ice.
