Magicless Extra: The Villain’s Survival Method – Chapter 154.1

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟓𝟒.1: 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 (8)

The Kaiser fighters swooped down, their machine guns strafing the ground in a swift, deadly sweep. Every bullet and shell had been enchanted for this battle, making them exceptionally lethal to the demons.

“Huu. . . Alright, time for me to make my move.”

The Archduke demon Solomon stood far back, calmly watching the battle. Among Oswald’s forces, only he possessed the power to challenge the archduke. To grow stronger, he needed to defeat Solomon and absorb the demon’s essence he would yield.

‘𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘢 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘱 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘥𝘶𝘬𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘸𝘬𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘥. . .’

If it had, he might have been even stronger now.

From this point on, it was a race against time. Gigantification had a 30-minute limit, and he had to crush the archduke before it wore off.

The problem was that, unlike the other archduke demons he had faced, this one also used magic. If he wasn’t careful, Solomon might try to stall for 30 minutes and then strike when Oswald shrunk back to his normal size.

“First, let’s try sniping him.”

Oswald swiftly conjured a sniper railgun and aimed at the solitary figure of Solomon. Due to his immense size, he positioned himself on the upper deck of the Central-class aerial magic carrier. He took aim and pulled the trigger.

BZZT!

Electricity surged through the rail, enveloping the bullet as it fired and propelling it forward with tremendous acceleration.

Bang!

Swoosh! Boom!

The bullet was intercepted by a defensive barrier that Solomon had erected in an instant. However, Oswald didn’t give up. He continued to fire, relentlessly attacking Solomon, who maintained his barrier, deflecting each shot.

Just as Solomon began to show signs of annoyance at Oswald’s persistence, he started moving towards him. Oswald, in response, chanted a spell that would make even the most chuunibyou cringe.

“Plague in my Hand. . .”

Greenish plague factors erupted from his bracelet, quickly engulfing his entire body. He inhaled the level 5 plague factors, instantly boosting his physical attributes by +50.

The pain was excruciating, proportionate to the increased level. . . but he could endure it. He then used Blood Daemon to create and equip a full-body suit with artificial muscles, further increasing his physical attributes by +20 each.

He activated Rampage for an additional +20 boost, and just as Solomon drew close, he used Gigantification. His physical attributes skyrocketed by +200, granting him overwhelming power.

[𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 𝐋𝐯.𝟏𝟕𝟒+𝟐𝟗𝟎]

[𝐀𝐠𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐋𝐯.𝟏𝟕𝟐+𝟐𝟗𝟎]

[𝐄𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐋𝐯.𝟏𝟔𝟑+𝟐𝟗𝟎]

With his physical attributes exceeding 400, Oswald charged towards Solomon and unleashed a devastating punch.

Bam!

The sheer force and mass behind Oswald’s simple punch caused the barrier to tremble violently, sending Solomon crashing to the ground. Oswald followed suit, plummeting towards his fallen foe.

As he descended, his speed increased exponentially. At that moment, Oswald drew the spear of Envy, ‘Gae Bolg,’ imbued it with holy power, and hurled it at Solomon.

Swoosh! Boom!

‘Gae Bolg,’ the unstoppable weapon that could pierce through anything except a creation god, shattered Solomon’s formidable barrier and impaled his abdomen.

【Tsk. 】

Oswald had aimed for the heart, but Solomon, knowing that a direct hit would result in his banishment, twisted his body to avoid it. Oswald then drew ‘Pale Note’ and fired a volley of holy arrows.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The arrows, guided by Pale Note’s unerring aim, intercepted Solomon as he attempted to rise from the ground. While they couldn’t penetrate the barrier like Gae Bolg, they inflicted significant damage, weakening it.

Oswald retrieved Gae Bolg with his left hand, infusing it with holy power and enlarging it to match his own colossal size. He then began to swing it at Solomon.

Swish! Swish!

Perhaps recognizing the power of Gae Bolg, Solomon resorted to blink magic, desperately trying to evade its attacks.

After a prolonged chase, Solomon’s movements suddenly faltered. An invisible force had pierced his abdomen, momentarily immobilizing him. Oswald seized the opportunity and thrust Gae Bolg towards Solomon. Given their sizes, a direct hit would obliterate Solomon, forcing him to activate blink once more.

However, Gae Bolg connected before he could escape, inflicting severe damage to his front before he reappeared elsewhere.

【Damn you, giant! 】

Enraged, Solomon summoned 100 magic circles around him, each emitting a beam of blue light.

Fwoosh! Fwoosh!

Oswald was pushed back slightly by the beams but managed to withstand the assault.

‘𝘏𝘮𝘱𝘩!’

He swiftly reduced the size of Gae Bolg and hurled it towards Solomon, aiming for his heart.

As Gae Bolg flew towards him, Solomon blinked to avoid it. Oswald retrieved the spear and drew Pale Note, enlarging it. He then shrunk Gae Bolg to the size of an arrow and loaded it into Pale Note.

The combination of Pale Note’s infallible accuracy and Gae Bolg’s absolute penetration was unstoppable.

Solomon blinked again, but Pale Note’s inherent ability to hit its target ensured that Gae Bolg found its mark. The spear pierced through his barrier and body, leaving a gaping hole in his chest.

【Cough! 】

Solomon coughed up blood and flesh, quickly casting healing magic to mend his wounds. However, Oswald wouldn’t give him a chance to recover. He fired a barrage of holy arrows with Pale Note, then swiftly stowed it away and drew ‘Moonlight’ and ‘Yin-Yang,’ unleashing a flurry of attacks.

Swish! Swish! Swoosh!

Following the arrow barrage, a storm of sword energy engulfed Solomon.

Oswald’s relentless assault. . .

Unable to fully heal, Solomon maintained his barrier and countered with various spells.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ten magic circles continuously fired blue beams at Oswald, attempting to suppress him like a machine gun.

However, Oswald, with boosters on his suit, dodged the attacks and closed in on Solomon. He sheathed Yin-Yang, retrieved Gae Bolg, enlarged it, and thrust it forward.

Plunge!

【Fast. 】

Solomon blinked away the moment he was stabbed, but not before a chunk of his side was torn off. Using demonic power, he prevented his body from being split in two and continued to resist with magic.

’10 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥.’

Time was running out. He had to finish this quickly.

Oswald drew a replica of Mjolnir, unleashing bolts of blue lightning imbued with holy power. As Solomon’s body stiffened, he fired Gae Bolg using Pale Note.

Swoosh!

Instead of blinking, Solomon layered multiple spells, causing a surge of demonic power.

【Infinite Shield! 】

Rumble!
