Magicless Extra: The Villain’s Survival Method – Chapter 152.1

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟓𝟐.1: 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 (6)

Upon receiving the communication from His Majesty the Emperor, Oswald immediately began preparations. Since the objective was to permanently erase Rome City from the map, he intended to seek support.

As it happened, the Church dispatched champions to assist Oswald, along with Saint Estell, who had a personal connection with him.

“It’s been a while. . .”

“Indeed. How have you been?”

“Hmm. . . not bad. . .”

An awkwardness hung between them. It was understandable, considering they hadn’t seen each other for over two years since graduation. Moreover, Oswald was currently the commander of the Iberia United Military District Command and held the temporary rank of Major General.

Although his general rank wasn’t yet confirmed. . . if things continued this way, Oswald would likely be appointed as a full general by Valentine, who intended to utilize him further. Additionally, there were suspicions that the neighboring Great Zhou Empire in the east was under attack by plague chaos demons. . .

Perhaps, once the situation here was resolved, a large-scale dispatch of troops through the CID might occur.

‘𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘴. . .’

The thought alone made him shudder. Despite his tireless efforts thus far. . . Oswald was human too. He needed time to rest.

“Anyway, I desperately need your help this time.”

“Just say the word! I’ll do my best to assist you.”

Following that, Oswald minimized his workload and focused on resting. He consumed the holy water prepared by the Saint like a beverage after every meal and whenever he felt the need, replenishing the life force he had depleted during the previous nuclear launch.

Of course, the life force consumed back then had long since recovered. . . but the hearts of the giant and the troll king also needed time to heal.

After slacking off for two days, Oswald began utilizing Blood Daemon in earnest. Beside him, the Saint remained present, channeling holy power and providing healing.

“Phew. . .”

With the Saint’s healing support, Oswald was able to create twenty multi-warhead ballistic missiles, each containing five warheads. A total of 100 nuclear warheads were being manufactured.

The reason for this outpouring was the need to consider the possibility of Archduke Demon Solomon deploying defensive magic. Therefore, he pushed himself to form 100 nuclear warheads. It was only possible thanks to Saint Estell’s presence.

‘𝘜𝘨𝘩!’

Oswald was shouldering the life force equivalent of nearly 500,000 people. . . If the enemies knew his worth, capturing him alone and using him as a sacrifice would have been enough to summon chaos forces and an Archduke into this world.

The problem was that 500,000 people’s worth of life force was only enough to complete 50 nuclear warheads. He still needed an additional 500,000 people’s worth of life force to reach 100. . .

‘𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦. . .’

His body felt drained, as if he were teetering on the brink of life and death. He managed to endure with the help of top-grade potions made from troll blood, holy water infused with the Saint’s holy power, and the Saint’s healing.

Even Oswald’s vast holy power within his body was working to restore his health. Perhaps that’s why a brilliant white light continuously emanated from his body, resembling the descent of a holy apostle of God.

His appearance was so divine that. . . the nearby Church personnel began to chant Chronos’ name and offer devout prayers.

‘𝘐𝘵’𝘴. . . 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦.’

Finally, the decisive blow created by sacrificing the life force of 1 million people was complete. Now it was time to launch these nuclear missiles and detonate them above Rome City. . .

‘𝘗𝘩𝘦𝘸. . . 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵. . . 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦. . .’

Oswald’s life force was also used to power the missile launch. In his noticeably emaciated state, he squeezed out even more life force to send them soaring into the sky.

As he watched the missiles ascend, he simultaneously observed Rome City through the shared vision he had established with Jason. He could see over 100 red lines marking the projected landing points of the warheads across the city.

‘𝘓𝘦𝘵’𝘴 𝘴𝘦𝘦. . . 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴.’

Former Francia Palace, Rome City.

【It seems the lowly one was insignificant after all, Your Excellency Archduke. 】

【He served his purpose, did he not? 】

【But the troops he lost were considerable. 】

【It wouldn’t have been different if someone else had gone. It’s time to make our move. 】

Archduke Solomon was accompanied by his first advisor, Duke Vishnu.

He too was originally a wizard from another world who had offered his knowledge to Horus in pursuit of truth. He had fallen into darkness, becoming a demon and joining the chaos forces, eventually rising to his current position after many years.

As they were savoring the knowledge extracted from human souls like tea, a sudden surge of immense life force was detected from above.

【Hmm? 】

Naturally, Archduke Solomon was the first to sense the anomaly. He detected this monstrous life force and hurried outside. Duke Vishnu followed suit.

It was currently nighttime in Rome City, allowing them to witness a meteor shower descending from the sky.

【Could it be? 】

Vishnu was aware of how Muzak had perished. He had deemed it unlikely for such an attack to be launched again within a short timeframe. However. . .

【He’s not an easy opponent to deal with, is he? Well, it was said he might be a giant. . . creating something like that wouldn’t be difficult for him. 】

Solomon had heard the words of Lucifer, one of the Archdukes of Sin who had been banished to the chaos world by Oswald.

【Vishnu, gather the nobles! We shall cast a defensive barrier over the entire city! 】

Following Archduke Solomon’s command, he immediately began casting a spell to create a massive defensive magic circle above Rome City.

Formidable demonic power surged forth, forming a colossal magic circle 50 meters above Rome City. This grand defensive barrier was his own creation, the Infinity Shield, capable of withstanding even the attacks of gods. However. . .

‘𝘋𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘤 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯.’

Moreover, he had been weakened upon being summoned to this world, so even a spell that could endure against gods would inevitably be diminished. But since the Infinity Shield was the strongest and most resilient defensive spell he knew, he had no choice but to give it his all.

Soon, Duke Vishnu and other noble-class demons joined forces, pouring their demonic power into the defensive magic circle. Even middle and upper-rank demons participated, adding various smaller shield spells alongside the Infinity Shield.
