Magicless Extra: The Villain’s Survival Method – Chapter 173.2

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟕𝟑.2: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐝𝐮𝐤𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 (2)

In an instant, everything around the spot where he had been froze, and he too froze all over, restricting his movement. Seizing the opportunity, Oswald quickly flew toward him.

Oswald, who had already retrieved Gae Bolg, gripped it in his right hand again, poured holy power into it, and threw Gae Bolg at his chest once more as he gradually broke the ice and tried to escape from that spot.

SWOOSH!

Gae Bolg, which flew at supersonic speed, pierced Vlad’s chest again this time.

【Cough! 】

This time, Gae Bolg had hit his heart squarely, and as a result, his body showed signs of collapsing. . . but he quickly created a new heart and held on. Then, he sprayed blood magic and blood in all directions and began to shoot drops of blood in all directions, as if firing a machine gun.

Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of millions of drops of blood scattered. The drops of blood were quite powerful because they were infused with blood magic, and they were a more annoying and threatening attack than expected.

However, Oswald was different. He went straight toward the incoming drops of blood and accelerated as he did so, rather than slowing down.

【I’ll gladly accept your power! 】

Approaching right in front of him with Moonlight and Yin-Yang in his hands, Oswald swung the two swords infused with holy power and unleashed a storm of sword energy.

Vlad’s entire body was shredded by the storm of sword energy gushing out from the front, and Vlad hurriedly deployed his Blood Shield to block the sword energy, but. . . Oswald, who had quickly approached him, created an arm out of magic power, touched the Blood Shield, and absorbed the blood magic and blood.

Oswald pressed his attack on Vlad with the determination to shatter him this time. Vlad once again cloaked himself in demonic power and engaged Oswald in a physical duel.

SWISH!

Vlad attacked Oswald, swinging his lance. Oswald narrowly dodged the lance, but the ground turned upside down, and he had no choice but to retreat.

However, Vlad continued to chase Oswald, swinging his sword and lance. In the end, Oswald, who was overwhelmed by Vlad’s superior physical strength, allowed the sword and lance attacks and was sent flying 1 km away, crashing to the ground.

【Grr. . . . . . 】

He felt as if his entire body was being crushed. The pain was already doubled because he was wearing the Plague Grimoire, but with the additional damage, it was driving him crazy.

‘𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴?’

It would be great if he could finish this sooner, but. . . it didn’t seem easy, especially with Vlad going berserk. When Vlad fought mainly with blood magic, Oswald had the upper hand thanks to the Blood Daemon, but when it came to demonic power and physical strength, Oswald was at a disadvantage and it was hell itself.

Fortunately, he was not alone. He was accompanied by two lich dragons, demigod Orion, the Furion brothers, and the Dark Brotherhood, which consisted of Grandmaster-level and higher transcendents.

‘𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘗𝘩𝘢𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦.’

He had to defeat this guy and use this force to confront Phaast, which would make victory much easier.

‘𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮 𝘪𝘴 𝘔𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘰𝘯. 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨?’

Just in case, he had asked the Order’s demon hunters and the CID to track down Mammon. Of course, Morgul, the Sorcerer King of the North, was also using his undead army to search for Mammon.

Despite their efforts, Mammon had hidden himself so well that he had not even been found.

‘𝘐𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘷𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘤 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳?’

Even if he entered a dungeon, demonic power would eventually leak out through the gate. Of course, the CID observation post did not detect even a small amount of demonic power. . . but a guy like Mammon would be leaking a lot of demonic power.

‘𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘴. . . . . .’

They say that if you want to hide a person, you should take them to the city, and if you want to hide a tree, you should take it to the forest. Since he was a demon, there was a good chance that he was hiding in a place full of demons. That said. . . . . .

‘𝘏𝘦’𝘴 𝘦𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘗𝘩𝘢𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘳 𝘭𝘶𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘗𝘩𝘢𝘢𝘴𝘵’𝘴 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦. . .’

In the former case, it would be quite a headache if Mammon appeared when Phaast was being subjugated, and in the latter case, there was a possibility that he would take Phaast’s essence after Phaast died and Phaast’s essence was released.

He needed a lot of energy to ascend to an evil god, which was why he had attacked Morgul in order to get his hands on the heart of the frost dragon.

But what if Phaast’s essence was taken by Mammon? It would be enough to make him ascend to an evil god, though not as much as the frost dragon.

‘𝘐𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴, 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘢 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘴. . . . . .’

If Mammon’s evil god ascension story progressed, half of the continent would be destroyed. The Great Zhou Empire itself, which had expanded its influence with great effort, would be wiped off the map, and the other eastern countries, such as the Yuan Kingdom, the Yue Kingdom, and the Huan Kingdom, would be destroyed as well.

That was why he wanted to subdue Mammon first or interfere with Mammon’s work if possible. . . but the monster had made up its mind and was hiding itself very well.

‘𝘚𝘪𝘨𝘩. . . . . .’

All he could do was pray that such a shitty situation would not arise. Anyway, right now, he needed to focus on the monster in front of him.
