Magicless Extra: The Villain’s Survival Method – Chapter 15.2

In fact, apart from the Empire in the western part of the continent, the remaining nations were the Democratic Republic of the Western Empire founded by liberal revolutionaries, the naval power Kingdom of Britannia in the northwest, the artistic kingdom of Francia in the south of the Empire, and finally, the Kingdom of Holland with its powerful hussar cavalry in the east of the Empire.

During the 7-day journey, Oswald spent an uncomfortable and noisy time with Ophelia and her escort knights.

Finally, the 7-day hellish life that was noisy enough to make his ears bleed came to an end. Oswald wanted to get out of this place quickly. . . but Ophelia did not intend to let him go easily.

It was something he learned while traveling, but he learned that the Clarence family was a bigger family than he thought. The current head of the Clarence family, Duke Clarence, was a cousin of the current Imperial Empire Emperor, and Ophelia before his eyes was the granddaughter of such a duke. Her father, Viscount Marc de Clarence, is said to be the current mayor of Erengrad.

“Then I hope to see you again next time.”

“If there is a chance. . . . . . . ”

So he parted ways with Ophelia’s party. . . and the place Oswald headed to was Chronos Cathedral.

Since many people had already visited the cathedral in anticipation of the festival, it was not easy to get inside.

“I am sorry, but we are currently over capacity and cannot enter.”

At the priestess’s words, Oswald revealed his purpose.

“I am not here for sightseeing.”

“Then. . . . . .? ”

“I came to become a demon hunter.”

“What? ”

“Yes? ”

Eleven, who was behind Oswald, was surprised by Oswald’s words, and the priest was also surprised.

“Oswald-nim! What are you talking about? A demon hunter!”

“So go back, Eleven. You don’t need to follow me anymore. I will dedicate my life to hunting demons.”

“But Oswald-nim! ”

Meanwhile, the priestess immediately used the communicator to inform the inside of this fact.

Before long, two people appeared, wearing pure white priestly robes and ominous black robes that contrasted with them.

“Sister, who has come seeking to join the demon hunters?”

“This gentleman.”

At those words, the two men in black robes approached Oswald.

“Are you the one who wishes to join the demon hunters, brother?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Then, Eleven, who was behind him, shouted in strong opposition.

“I object. If my Lord Earl were to learn of this, he would be furious.”

“I am already an abandoned child in the family.”

“No. His Lordship still loves Oswald-nim.”

“I know.”

“Then. . . huh? ”

“But there is not much I can do with my cursed body. . . I cannot tarnish my father’s honor.”

Oswald, the 「Final Chapter」 rotten person who spoke very eloquently.

“But. . . . . . . ”

“At least if I become a demon hunter. . . I will be able to protect his honor.”

“However, very few people survive the demon hunter ritual. It means that Oswald-nim could also die!”

“That is why I have prepared myself. So this is the end, you must return. Go and inform my father of my decision.”

“ . . . . . . . ”

In the end, Eleven failed to persuade Oswald.

Leaving Eleven behind like that, Oswald turned around again and the people who had been waiting calmly asked him right away.

“Are you ready now, brother? ”

“Let’s go.”

“We are grateful for your courage and devotion.”

He followed the people in black robes into Chronos Cathedral. They headed to a certain place through a path that was not usually taken by tourists, and at one point, they began to go underground.

After going deep underground for a long time, a cavity as large and wide as the cathedral appeared. There were gates installed everywhere in the cavity. . . . . . .

“By any chance, is this a remodeled skaven under-city?”

“Yes, you are quite knowledgeable.”

‘𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘴. . . . . . .’

After all, the only ones who could create such a huge underground space were the skaven. They were guys who had their own technology, even though they had a beast-like appearance. Especially when it came to creating cities underground, they were comparable to dwarves.

Soon, Oswald came across an even larger underground city after passing through the underground cavity. Surprisingly, it was not as big as the Vatican, but it was about a tenth the size of the Vatican. It even looked like people were living there. . . . . . .

‘𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘴, 𝘥𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘷𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘭𝘺𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘴.’

No one would have thought that so many different races were active in the underground of the empire. The Empire had shown relatively more concern than others for the treatment of demi-humans, and since laws regarding slavery were also strict, there weren’t many who kept demi-humans as slaves.

In the first place, only those who committed crimes and were sentenced to slavery by the Imperial Court fell into slavery, so most of the servants and maids working in noble families were people who were bound by the relationship between employer and employee.

‘𝘗𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘢𝘮 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘸.’

‘Pure humanism’, an ideology as dangerous as liberal revolutionaries, was a group that thought that humans were the masters of all things and the only rulers of this world.

That was why other races that were different from them were thoroughly targeted for annihilation. There were quite a few people who believed in such a beggarly ideology, and there was also a secret society organization made up of them.

Anyway, Oswald arrived at the headquarters of the Order of the Holy Knights, a stronghold of demon hunters located in the center of the city.

Although they were called demon hunters on the outside, they were known as paladins of the Order of the Holy Knights on the inside. Only a select few could pass the ritual and receive the blessing of Chronos to gain the power to eradicate those who tried to drive the world to ruin and the groups that followed them.

“Welcome to our Templar Knights. I am Oleg Chireha, the commander of the Order of the Holy Knights.”
