Magicless Extra: The Villain’s Survival Method – Chapter 158.1

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟓𝟖.1: 𝐓𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐩 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 (3)

Northern Dragon Spine Mountains.

“How dare you. . . a mere demon dares to set foot in this place!”

The Black Knight, adorned with a crown bearing five thorns, rose from his throne and roared.

Kugugugu. . . . . .

In an instant, the grand hall shook, and the figures in black robes lined up on either side trembled.

【The progenitor of wizards, Lord of Morgen, the Sorcerer King Morgul. 】

The chaos demon of sin, the Archduke of Greed, Mammon.

His purpose in coming here was to make the final preparations for his ascension to godhood. The problem was that the Sorcerer King Morgul was not favorably disposed towards Mammon. The Sorcerer King immediately raised his aura and warned Mammon.

“I won’t say it twice. Withdraw this instant!”

Despite the threat from Morgul, whose power rivaled that of an Elder Dragon, Mammon did not back down. For now, Mammon attempted to resolve the situation through dialogue.

【I have no need for anything else. Just give me the heart of the Frost Wyrm you possess. In return, your domain will remain unharmed. 】

“Ha, are you trying to deceive me? I have heard much of the notoriety of your chaos demon kin through the demons!”

【Tsk, it would have been better if you had listened when I spoke kindly. . . 】

Mammon’s hand grasped the demonic sword fragment of sin.

The Storm Bringer, the magic sword of greed. Soon, a stormy momentum burst out of Mammon’s body and pressed down on the assembly.

The wizards groaned. . . Morgul, too, unleashed his aura, pushing back against Mammon’s, and in that gap, he ordered the wizards to retreat.

【And while we’re at it, I’ll take the devil’s heart you possess as well! 】

With Mammon’s cry, windows and walls shattered as chaos demons swarmed in.

“If you think you can!”

As soon as the words ended, shadows stretched out from beneath Morgul’s feet, and within those shadows, Death Knights emerged. The Death Knights began to fight against the demons that had invaded the castle.

【You bastard! 】

Paang!

Mammon leaped from the floor and swung Stormbringer. Purple lightning erupted, striking Morgul.

Pazzizzik!

Morgul waved his left hand, and nine black magic circles instantly unfolded in front of him, blocking the incoming lightning.

Kwakang!

Then, magic circles formed around Mammon, and various spells were fired at him.

Kwaggwang!

Indeed, living up to his title of Sorcerer King, Morgul cast spells without chanting. Moreover, although they appeared to be simple spells. . . their power was considerable, as Mammon had to cloak himself in demonic power.

At that moment, Morgul’s sword, imbued with dark aura, extended.

Kwakang!

【Ugh. . . 】

Mammon, who had blocked the sword strike imbued with dark aura, groaned as he found himself pushed back.

【That sword? 】

“It’s the work of Vulcanus-nim, whom you forcefully dragged away.”

The blacksmith god, Vulcanus.

Originally one of the Nine Divines, a powerful god. . . but he was abducted to the Chaos Realm by the Chaos Gods. Now, he was being used like a slave in the Chaos Realm, creating various weapons.

“Although it hasn’t earned a name. . . it has gained the nickname ‘Giant Slayer’ by killing giants.”

Mammon finally understood why he had been pushed back by a single sword strike. The sword was likely imbued with the power of giants.

【Good, that’s how it should be! 】

Soon, noble-class demons rushed in, and the sounds of battles, large and small, began to be heard from outside.

“You’re not the only one who can command an army!”

The Sorcerer King Morgul took out twelve S-rank magic stones from his bosom and immediately threw them in all directions while chanting a spell.

Unlike before, when he had cast spells without chanting, Morgul was now chanting. Soon, magic circles were created based on the S-rank magic stones, and twelve beings appeared above them.

Creatures with pointed ears like elves and sharp teeth like orcs. . . some had goat horns, and they had different skin colors. These were the demons, the constituents of the Demon Realm.

“Khahahaha, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a fight.”

The one with red skin and a golden crown, he was Berith, the Demon King of the 28th Demon Realm.

“Hoo. . . Chaos demons. . . this won’t be boring.”

The female demon with blood-red hair and pale white skin, she was Gremory, the Demon King of the 56th Demon Realm.

In addition to them, other Demon Kings ruling their respective Demon Realms had been summoned by the Sorcerer King Morgul. Each of them was powerful enough to rival noble-class demons.

Eventually, the battle intensified, and neither side gained the upper hand. In the process, the Sorcerer King’s Palace, the heart of Morgul’s fortress, Morgen Fortress, had long been half-destroyed, and they were now fighting throughout the entire Morgen Fortress.

“Give up and retreat to Chaos!”

In an instant, a thousand black magic circles formed around Mammon, and an enormous number of spells poured out, bombarding him.

Due to the overwhelming attack, Mammon had no choice but to sacrifice the smallest of the dragon hearts he possessed, the hatchling’s heart, to enhance his demonic power and withstand the magical assault.

But was it because of that? An explosion occurred on the mountain near Morgen Fortress, and something soared up from the dust.

Krwawrawrawrawra!

A colossal roar and chilling killing intent enveloped the entirety of Morgen.

The being that finally revealed itself was a gigantic dragon with a blackened, decaying body, exposed bones in places, and torn wings.

【A Lich Dragon? 】

Lich Dragon.

The dragons that had died fighting the chaos demons before this invasion. . . even the Elder Dragons among them had not been spared. The reason why dragons were now granting their dragon language to their lesser kin, the drakes and wyverns, and sending them into battle against the demons was all because of that war.

Anyway, at that time, the Elder Dragons, in order to protect the dragon race in future wars against Chaos and gain an advantage in battle, had turned themselves into liches as they were dying. They then sealed themselves away in various parts of the world in preparation for war.

【Mammon!! It’s you again! 】
