The Villainous Me Turned the Losers into Blackened Bosses-Chapter 183 - Fight, Fight, Fight!

—

In just about an hour, Shuna had accomplished three things: she had “beaten up the Ice Queen Kolodai and extracted some vague information,”

“sent the two hired adventurers to search for their other teammates in the dungeon,” and

“threatened Kolodai into taking her to the door where Will was.”

Honestly, she had anticipated this outcome.

A dungeon with “two doors” wasn’t entirely unprecedented.

From the knowledge Shuna had gathered while helping Will research witches, she knew that “witches” seemed to have some connection to the inner workings of dungeons. It was highly likely that their mysterious movements were rooted in the idea that the Witch Association was an organization embedded within dungeons.

And since Will knew a “witch,” it wasn’t hard to piece some things together.

Shuna had initially approached this with the thought of letting Will get a mild scolding from his former teammate, reminding him not to mess around with witches. That’s why she hadn’t rushed too much.

But…

—”If you don’t save your captain, that witch might just break him—”

Break… break him?

That description was a bit terrifying.

Hmm…

Shuna wanted to retort, saying that the two of them had been teammates for a long time or something, but…

Honestly, it was probably her “instinct” for danger. From the moment she entered this dungeon, she had felt a faint sense of unease.

Will, broken?

Well, she was a little curious about what that would look like.

But curiosity aside, she took her “bad feeling” about the crisis seriously.

So instead of threatening Kolodai with her life to spill the details, she forced her to take her to the other door to see for herself.

On the way, she had the hired swordsman and shield-bearer escorted out of the dungeon—hired help was never as reliable as teammates she picked herself.

And then, she prepared to open this “gift box prepared by the witch.”

Except…

She hadn’t expected…

That the scene unfolding before her when she opened the door would be so explosive.

—

The room was as large as a full boss chamber.

Unlike the icy, blue-tinted, aurora-lit aesthetic of Moonlit Ice Extreme outside, the witch’s room was a dramatic, vibrant red, almost like a stage set.

But as a boss chamber, it was oddly empty. There were no combat-related items, just a small round table in the center, like one used for tea.

Despite its size, large enough to host a boss fight, the setup felt more like a “witch’s office.”

Of course…

That’s if you ignored…

The center of the room…

Shuna frowned, struggling to find the right words to describe the scene before her.

In the center… ahem, there appeared to be a chair. On it… were two people covered in some sticky, blood-red substance, almost entirely naked. Well, one of them was wearing a uniform, but it looked more like a touch of kink than actual clothing.

And what was even harder to comprehend…

When she opened the door, what she saw was…

“Oh. Looks like I came at a bad time?”

Will—there was no mistaking it—Will was actively… embracing the blonde “witch,” holding her with an unusually passionate expression, kissing her deeply.

For a normal “human,” someone untouched by the influence of Blood-Red Mint Essential Oil…

—This scene was basically a slightly red-tinted, slime-coated (or worse) adult party, wasn’t it?!

Shuna crossed her arms and sighed.

She had thought she might be too late, that if the witch had done something extreme, she’d open the door to find a shattered Will.

Like, his eyes gouged out, or parts of his body chopped off.

But instead…

Hmm, this was much better than she had imagined.

His eyes were intact, his limbs were whole, and he still seemed physically capable.

Wonderful.

Oh, that was just wonderful.

Wonderful enough to make her incredibly jealous.

So the stone-hearted young master could be this passionate, holding someone like this, kissing them so happily?

So…

So she had been wrong about him all along? This man, whom she thought she knew so well after years of being pen pals?

“Looks like you don’t need me, so I’ll just… leave?”

Shuna averted her gaze, unwilling to linger on the scene, and gestured toward the door behind her.

However…

Just as Shuna said this…

She heard the sound of flames scorching the air behind her—

BOOM—!

Before her brain could process what was happening, her body reacted instinctively.

A thick ice shield formed in her hand, and with a clenched fist, she caught the incoming blast of flames.

But she knew that this hastily conjured ice shield had already been burned through by more than half.

…Her ice shield, almost half-melted by a single blast?

Whoever launched that attack…

Was pretty strong.

Stronger than the “witch” Shuna had imagined based on Will’s descriptions.

If her assessment was correct, the witch had used the ancient magic “Incinerating Flameburst,” which was several levels stronger than the modern version of Flameburst.

“Not very friendly, are you, Witch~senpai? I’m the new logistics recruit for Morning Star.”

Shuna grew slightly more serious and greeted the witch—she remembered her name was Leah.

The earlier attack had slammed the door shut, leaving Shuna with no choice but to confront this highly skilled young witch in what looked disturbingly like an adult-themed party setting.

She clenched her fists.

She looked at Leah…

Oh, and the half-dead Will slumped over the edge of the chair behind her.

—Why did he look like he’d just been… violated?

—No, wait, judging by the indecent liquids on the chair, he had been violated, hadn’t he?!

—No way, no way, Kolodai wasn’t lying after all. Will really had been broken!

“Hmph, sweet words, but all sarcasm, huh? I’ll take you on. I don’t recall Morning Star ever recruiting someone like you.”

Leah withdrew her outstretched hand.

She turned her head slightly, wiping the corner of her mouth, which was stained with Will’s saliva and a bit of Blood-Red Mint Essential Oil.

To Shuna…

The gesture was both triumphant and arrogantly self-satisfied, like someone who had just devoured their prey.

—Damn this eternally twelve-year-old-looking old hag!

Shuna took a deep breath.

Judging by that earlier attack, this witch wasn’t weak.

Based on the strength of the Flameburst alone, she was easily S-rank. However, Shuna couldn’t determine whether this strength came from Leah herself, the Blood-Red Mint Essential Oil covering the room, or the adrenaline from her current high.

Well, regardless, she wasn’t going to be an easy opponent.

How annoying.

Shuna scratched her head.

She really wanted to leave Will here and just walk away.

But…

“No… Shuna… hah… you came just… in time… hah…”

From Will’s effortful lip movements as he slumped in the chair…

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

Ignoring his gasps and pauses, Shuna could read his message.

“Blood… it’s… witch’s blood…”

He pointed to the spot below his collarbone, where he was still bleeding.

Seeing his gestures and lip movements, Shuna, who often shared a deep understanding with Will, immediately got it.

She remembered reading that witch’s blood, when infused into another person, could create a “fusion” effect, allowing them to experience what the witch felt.

So being broken to this extent… well… it made sense.

Made sense, my ass—this perverted young master from the Hysterm family had brought this on himself by messing with a witch’s feelings!

No excuses would work!

However…

In the ten seconds it took Shuna to process this, the young witch had already stood up.

She adjusted her clothes, even retied the bow on her teacher’s uniform.

But from the glimpse of her skirt’s hem, it was clear she wasn’t wearing any panties.

“Because it’s women like you… who took Will away from me…”

She lifted her gaze, brushing her bangs aside.

Shuna had seen those eyes before.

Will had once drawn “witch’s eyes” in a letter to her, but… now those eyes’ pupils unmistakably resembled hearts.

Witches were truly enigmatic beings, their nature incomprehensible, their personalities unpredictable.

No, wait.

What she just said…

“Wait, wait, how is this my fault now?”

“He was bewitched by you, that’s why he left me. I know this very well.”

Leah tied her twin tails back into place, returning to her usual hairstyle—though without a mirror, one side was higher than the other.

But the slightly messy look, combined with her wide, intense eyes, somehow suited her perfectly.

“Looking at you now, it seems like you’re the one who bewitched him?”

“I know him very, very, very well. How could he ever do something that goes against his plans? Someone as disciplined as him would never deviate from his schedule. Clearly, you don’t understand Will at all.”

Leah adjusted her skirt and picked up the large witch’s hat she had set aside, placing it on her head.

“Uh… I understand him, okay? Now that you mention it… maybe it is a little my fault.”

Shuna thought for a moment. Okay, fine, she had dragged Will away while drunk—so there was some truth to that.

But more than admitting her fault, she refused to acknowledge that this witch “understood Will better.”

“Alright, if you want to fight, I’ll treat you as this floor’s boss. That works, right?”

She looked at Leah, adopting the serious demeanor of someone challenging a boss.

Though fighting in such an indecent setting really wasn’t her style.

“Hold on a second.”

Leah twisted a ring on her finger, pulling a staff out of her witch’s storage ring.

It was…

A staff with an obsidian gemstone embedded in the center.
