Magicless Extra: The Villain’s Survival Method – Chapter 66

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟔𝟔: 𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 (3)

“Wave of Purification!”

BOOM!

A wave over 10m tall and 20m long swept forward, carrying everything in its path.

The ‘Omega Team’ battle golems caught in the wave were scattered in all directions, and some of them fell into the river and were disposed of by the water-type monsters.

The wave that had scattered the battle golems continued on its way towards Leika and Azel, and Azel planted his tower shield on the ground and braced himself.

Soon, the huge wave slammed into Azel’s tower shield and washed over his entire body. At first, he managed to hold his ground on the floor with the help of his tower shield, but. . . in the end, Azel was swept away by the enormous force of the wave, and his body floated up and landed at the 1st fortress.

The same thing happened to Leika, who was with him. . .

While they were still wet as drowned rats, dark clouds gathered overhead and a bolt of blue lightning struck between them.

CRACKLE!

“GYAAAAAAAAAAAA!”

Electricity spread through the water on the ground, electrocuting Leika, Azel, and the battle golems.

While Leika was still unconscious from the massive area-of-effect damage, Alicia cast a 5-stack Explosion, sending Leika and Azel back to their base.

“5-stack Explosion!”

BOOM!

The aftermath of the explosion cleared, and. . . Alicia immediately unleashed a powerful spell that blew away the 1st fortress.

Meanwhile, in the top lane, Dominika and Miguel were locked in a fierce battle, neither able to advance nor retreat.

‘𝘞𝘰𝘸. . . 𝘚𝘩𝘦’𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭?’

Miguel, who had reached the peak of Expert rank, clicked his tongue as he watched Dominika, who was as solid as a shield. It was especially difficult to engage in close combat because of the flames emanating from her body. Just approaching her was hot enough to burn his skin.

What’s more, she had recently started using a peculiar type of battleaxe. While ordinary battleaxes had a double-bladed form, her battleaxe had a spear blade on the axe head like a halberd, and a sickle-shaped blade on the opposite side of the axe blade.

In addition, a chain was attached to the butt of the axe, which was connected to a handcuff worn on her right wrist.

When fully extended, it was about 30cm long. She used this length to extend and retract the range of her battleaxe, putting Miguel in a difficult position.

Boo-woong. Cheorarak!

Sometimes she would use the spear blade on the axe head to throw the battleaxe in a straight line and attack with a thrust.

The problem was that even if he dodged this, he would be dragged towards her by the sickle-shaped blade on the other end of the chain.

“Ugh!”

Miguel was dragged towards Dominika by the sickle blade that had returned from behind, grazing his back. He hurriedly raised his sword to stab Dominika, but he was knocked over by her shield, which had suddenly thrust forward.

As he fell, she kicked off the ground and swung her battleaxe down vertically. Miguel was unable to defend himself properly and was defeated by her axe blade, forcing him to return to base.

At the same time, Miguel met Azel, who had died and returned to the main base.

“Azel, you should go top. “

“I think that’s a good idea. I’m not a good match for the bottom. “

There were a few more battles after that, but. . . the skill levels of everyone except Gilgamesh were about the same or even superior, and eventually, the 2nd fortresses on all the lanes collapsed.

In response, Gilgamesh led Miguel and Yuilhan in a concentrated attack on each lane, but. . . Oswald held off the three of them on his own, buying time while the remaining four laners attacked the ‘Omega Team’ base, destroying the guardian stone and claiming victory.

Thus, ‘Oswald Team’ defeated the most formidable team in the league and once again rose to the top of the league.

🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸

“Oswald Winchester, third child of the Winchester family and currently a Platinum rank student at Imperius Academy. . . “

“This is bad, isn’t it? “

A man and woman wearing red demon masks. They were members of Bloodtooth’s organization who had been at the scene that Oswald had cleaned up a while ago.

“Mmh. . . “

“What are we going to do, No. 11? “

“We need to report it to the higher-ups. This is beyond our level, even if he weren’t an academy student. . . “

He was a student at Imperius Academy. No one dared to touch an academy student. Moreover, he was of the Winchester family, the leaders of the Eastern margrave alliance. They didn’t want to mess with the Winchester family, so they couldn’t just attack him.

“Well, whatever. . . By the way, have you heard that Kronen’s assassins have been wandering around this area lately? “

“Kronen and we are in different fields, even though we’re both part of the Seven Dark Families. “

“But you must know something, right? “

“Well. . . I heard they came to deal with Kronen’s illegitimate son. “

“Kronen’s illegitimate son? “

“Yeah, I guess the more accurate term would be ‘bastard son’. In the past, the Kronen’s lord didn’t have an heir, so he had a child outside and brought him in. “

“But now that a legitimate son has been born, they’re going to get rid of him? “

“That’s right, but he has already inherited all of Kronen’s techniques as a successor. “

“So they decided he was a threat to the legitimate son? “

“That’s right. “

“Tsk, he’s so pitiful. “

🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸

‘Oswald Team’ won the 1st place in the 2nd semester league. Since there was no need to change the team members, Oswald did not change the team members, and the other 10 teams gradually approached perfection by changing their team members to fill in their weaknesses.

“Oswald, what are you going to do about the Inter-grade League? “

The Imperius Academy Inter-grade League.

A league in which the leaders of the teams that won 1st place in the 1st and 2nd semester leagues assembled excellent team members and fought against other grades.

“Well, I don’t think we can enter with the same members as before. “

Considering the level of the 2nd and 3rd years, they’ll need to have the best possible players.

Currently, the 1st year rank 1 was Oswald. The next 2nd place was Gilgamesh, and the 3rd place was Anna Valerius, the leader of another team.

She was the second daughter of the Marquis Valerius family, famous for their summoning magic, and she was an expert in summoning spirits from the spirit world, elementals from the elemental world, and demons and devils from the demon world.

‘𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘪𝘵. . . 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘢 𝘴𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥.’

The demons of Chaos and the demons of the Demon World were similar but different races. The demons of Chaos used demonic power, while the demons of the Demon World used dark magic.

Perhaps because of this, demons and wizards who used dark magic were not seen as such a bad thing in this world. As a result, the most powerful summon of Anna Valerius was a demon.

The next 4th place was a freshman named Beatrice, a commoner. . She used a peculiar weapon called a Nail Claw, which was a long fingernail blade, and she was at the peak of Expert rank and had a lot of combat experience, so no one could match her in close combat.

The next 5th place was Yuilhan, 6th place was Miguel, 7th place was Ethan Hawke, 8th place was Dominika, 9th place was Alicia, and so on.

‘𝘍𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘭𝘭, 𝘎𝘪𝘭𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯. . . 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘈𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘉𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘫𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦𝘳.’

Oswald planned to move to the bottom lane himself and put Anna in the mid-lane if he recruited Anna. Gilgamesh would be the top laner, Beatrice would be the jungler, and he would be the ranged dealer.

‘𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘶𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘳?’

There was the option of recruiting Yuilhan as a damage dealer, or Alicia as a wizard.

‘𝘖𝘬𝘢𝘺, 𝘭𝘦𝘵’𝘴 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘋𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘬𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘢 𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘦.’

She had recently started using a chain on her battleaxe. This meant that she had the skills to initiate an attack on her opponent as a supporter.

‘𝘖𝘬𝘢𝘺. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵.’

🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸

That evening. . .

Oswald headed to Gilgamesh’s room at his call. When he entered, Royman, Yuilhan, Miguel, and Azel were already there.

‘𝘐𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘗𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘳?’

He sat down in an empty seat, and Gilgamesh spoke up.

“I’ve called you all here today because I’ve found something for Peacemaker to do. “

“What is it? “

“It’s about helping Royman here. “

At those words, everyone’s eyes turned to Royman.

“As I introduced myself before, I am the bastard son of Kronen, the third seat of the Seven Dark Families. And I was almost assassinated because I was a threat to the legitimate son. “

At the Peacemaker founding ceremony, everyone introduced themselves in more depth, and Royman revealed his identity and his situation.

“The problem is that the assassination is not over yet. . . I recently heard that Kronen’s assassins are lurking outside the academy. They’re probably. . . here to kill me. “

“So, is the mission to deal with the Kronen family? “

Gilgamesh nodded at Yuilhan’s words.

“Wait a minute. “

Oswald stepped forward.

“Do you have any objections? “

“Uh, yes. Royman, wouldn’t it be a waste to just deal with all of them like that? “

“A waste? “

“Yeah, you’ve been through a lot, and it would be a shame to just end it by wiping them out. “

“So what do you want to say? “

“Anyway, if you’re going to work as a Peacemaker, you’re going to need help here and there, so I think it would be a big help if you became the head of the Kronen family, Royman. “

At those words, everyone nodded with an “Oh!” of admiration.

“Indeed. . . If it’s the Kronen family, it would be a help to what we need to do. “

Even Gilgamesh admitted that the Kronen family was well-known in the dark world.

“I think the information and organization that the Kronen family has will be a great help in our future Peacemaker activities. And if our boss becomes the lord, the Kronen family could officially become one of the families of the empire. “

The Kronen family had chosen to resist the empire instead of bowing to it. But now, they were nothing more than a famous assassination organization in the dark world.

“Hmm. . . “

Oswald told Royman, who was in thought, to take his time and think it over.

“And I’ll take care of the assassins outside. “

“You’re going to go yourself? “

“No, I’m not going to go myself, I’m going to use my connections. Hecaton might like hunting Kronen’s assassins. Or maybe there’s a way to move Shield through Hecaton. “

The Shield. If Sword was a general police organization, the Shield was a counter-terrorism police special forces organization. The members of the Shield were all skilled at the Expert level or higher.

As a result, even though they only had about a battalion (1,000 men), they were able to operate without being bound by numbers because they had the authority to command Sword officers or imperial soldiers when they went on operations.

“Okay, then let Oswald take care of the assassins outside. Royman, think about it for the next few days and let us know your answer. “

“Okay. . . I’ll do that. “

“Then let’s end the meeting here. “

After that, Miguel, Yuilhan, Azel, and the others followed Gilgamesh to the training ground. It was to pave the way to becoming a Master through a duel that resembled a real battle with Gilgamesh.

In particular, Yuilhan and Miguel were in a situation where there was only a hair’s breadth of difference between them, so a duel like a real battle was very much needed.

“Royman, think carefully. Whatever decision you make, I will respect your wishes. “

“Yes. Thank you, Oswald. “
