Magicless Extra: The Villain’s Survival Method – Chapter 173.1

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟕𝟑.1: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐝𝐮𝐤𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 (2)

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!

Coo coo coo coo!

Vlad’s entire body was engulfed in crimson flames as RMD bullets poured out of Oswald’s shoulder bone railgun. Vlad responded by unleashing his blood magic. . . but it was all in vain as his incoming blood magic was absorbed by Blood Daemon, rendering the attack useless. It was as if Vlad had finally met his match.

【Damn it! 】

Moreover, the Blood Daemon worn by Oswald was created by the ancient vampire god Lamia, who poured half of her power into it before Bahamun.

Although Bahamun personally crafted the lance and the sword, they were not as powerful as they could have been because Lamia did not sacrifice as much of her power as she did for Blood Daemon.

Soon, another round of attacks poured in. Not only were the exploding bullets a problem, but they were also infused with holy power, making them deadly if they hit the wrong way. In the end, there was nothing he could do but deploy his Blood Shield to block the attack.

【If that’s how you’re going to play it, I’ve got ways of my own! 】

Oswald approached him while firing RMD bullets and reached out to touch the Blood Shield. At that moment, surprisingly, the blood and blood magic that made up the Blood Shield began to be absorbed through Oswald’s hand.

With that newfound energy, Oswald unleashed even more RMD bullets.

BANG!

BANG!

Despite the powerful explosions occurring at close range, Oswald was able to protect himself with the suit made from Blood Daemon and the Plague Grimoire. However, Vlad soon realized that his blood magic was ineffective and immediately switched to physical attacks, using his superior strength.

Attacks with the lance and the sword definitely hit Oswald.

SWOOSH! CLANG!

The lance and the sword were blocked by Gae Bolg and Moonlight, and it seemed as if a power struggle was taking place between the two, but Oswald was pushed back.

‘𝘛𝘤𝘩, 𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘮𝘦.’

Instead of taking all of Vlad’s attacks head-on, Oswald retreated, giving the others an opening to attack. Did Ornstein understand Oswald’s intentions? Five of Ornstein’s Mind Spears, which were the furthest away, pierced Vlad’s body in various places.

POOF!

Oswald could not see them, but he could sense the Mind Spears by their presence and knew that they had hit Vlad.

‘𝘏𝘦’𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳.’

Mind power was an attack that could directly hit a demon’s soul. As Vlad hesitated, Oswald approached him once more and stabbed him with Gae Bolg.

Naturally, Vlad instinctively deployed his Blood Shield, but Gae Bolg was a weapon that pierced unconditionally, except against the gods of creation. In a word. . . it easily pierced the Blood Shield and struck Vlad’s body.

SPLAT!

As Gae Bolg pierced his abdomen, Oswald poured holy power into it, and as the immense amount of holy power was transferred to him through Gae Bolg, he trembled and screamed in agony.

【Graaaagh! Damn it!! 】

The moment a surge of strong demonic power was felt from him, Oswald quickly stepped back, and soon after, he unleashed a storm of demonic power in all directions.

BOOM!

As he had just used a large-scale attack, he had created an opening, and Valerian and Archduke Malekis’s magic struck without missing a beat. At the same time, Furion and Orion’s two energy blasts exploded once more, and Vlad fell to the ground, riddled with wounds.

【Grrr. . . . . . 】

But that was only for a moment. . . Vlad stretched his arms out to the left and right, and soon after, blood spurted out of the bodies of the wood elves lying dead all around and began to be absorbed by Vlad.

At that moment, Oswald mixed a plague agent into his own blood and scattered it into the air, and the blood containing the plague agent was absorbed by Vlad’s suction, along with his own blood.

A moment later. . . Vlad was writhing in agony, vomiting blood.

【Cough! Graaaagh! 】

Thanks to collecting various plagues while fighting Phaast, the Plague Collection level had risen from 4 to 7. Furthermore, since the collected plagues were Phaast’s strengthened plagues, they dealt a great blow to Vlad, who was also an archduke demon, and as a result, he was now vomiting up the blood he had just absorbed.

Seizing the opportunity, Oswald infused Gae Bolg with holy power and threw it straight at him.

SWOOSH!

Normally, Vlad would have sensed or tried to block Gae Bolg, which was imbued with this much holy power. . . but because he had properly inhaled the plague agent, he was writhing in agony and did not notice Gae Bolg flying toward him.

In the end, Gae Bolg pierced his chest and somewhat damaged his heart. As proof, his body seemed to collapse momentarily.

Unable to defeat them all alone, Vlad spread blood and blood magic around him and summoned monsters from it.

Using the blood magic, ‘Blood Creation’, Vlad mass-produced monsters made of blood and gave them orders to attack in all directions.

Accordingly, the monsters made of blood attacked Oswald and the others indiscriminately. Of course, the power of the monsters was only expert-level, so they were only a nuisance to those present. . . but since there were so many of them, the nuisance was somewhat amplified.

During that time, Vlad repaired his damaged heart and unleashed the blood magic Blood Spear, attacking in all directions. Then, he spread blood wings on his back and began to fly away.

【Where do you think you’re going!! 】

Oswald immediately took out Pale Note and fired holy power arrows in succession, trying to intercept Vlad. Similarly, he used RMD bullets to continuously hit the fleeing monster, causing it to crash to the ground, unable to get far away.

With two hours left in the Gigantification cooldown, the two lich dragons that had been waiting behind flew to the spot where Vlad had crashed and began to breathe frost.

BOOM!
