Magicless Extra: The Villain’s Survival Method – Chapter 78.1

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟕𝟖: 𝐊𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐧 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 (3)

After slaughtering a thousand men in the Dark Fortress, Oswald walked out as if nothing had happened.

The Sword officers, who had rushed to the scene due to the commotion, were speechless and trembling at the sight of Oswald. He was covered in the blood of the Maren family members he had killed in battle, and he was carrying the head of the Maren family’s lord.

Nevertheless, Oswald was undeterred and, under the cover of his mask, he made his move.

“Save the weak! Fight for love and justice! Peacemaker hereby declares that the Maren family has been destroyed today!”

“. . . . . .”

“. . . . . .”

“. . . . . .”

To call for love and justice while holding a severed human head in one hand was a sight that could not have been more unbalanced.

After finishing his speech, Oswald kicked the ground and jumped, landing on the roof of the building opposite in one leap.

Only then did a high-ranking Sword officer regain his senses and shout, “Catch him!” But none of the officers moved. They didn’t think they could catch Oswald, who had single-handedly wiped out the Maren family.

“I’ve been waiting for you.”

“Long time no see, Family Head.”

“So you’re planning to cut all ties with me.”

“Didn’t our relationship end when you allowed the assassins to target me?”

“Indeed. . . . . . The fact that you still stand before me despite my presence means that you have a plan.”

At those words, Royman added Aura Blade to his two daggers and said,

“Is this enough of an answer?”

“Haha. . . . . . It is.”

At that moment, the two men disappeared into the shadows and then emerged, launching attacks at each other. They dueled even within the shadows, testing each other’s skills. They moved between the shadow world and the real world, exchanging blows.

To ordinary people, it looked like two shadows were colliding in the void, but the elders, who were watching the situation from the sidelines, could see every detail of their movements.

“To think that the first born was at this level.”

The first born fought on par with the Kronen family head, and what’s more, he had become an Assassin Master before even reaching the age of twenty.

He was a promising young man, but the problem was the assassins who had followed the Kronen Family Head here.

Just in case, the elders of the Council were on standby nearby, but the assassins the family head had brought with him were the Council of Ten, the best assassins in the family. Each of them was an expert-level fighter, and they had trained with the Family Head, a Master, which had improved their combat abilities.

The elders had also been members of the Council of Ten or the Elite in the previous generation, but as they said, they were of the previous generation. They were too old to fight the Council of Ten who were in their prime, so they were likely to be outmatched in terms of their senses.

While the elders from the Council of Elders were watching the Council of Ten nervously, Elder Takhmet wasn’t worried. That was because there were Peacemaker members here besides them.

Wasn’t it an organization whose members were all Master-class or higher?

When the battle was still undecided, Oswald entered the dueling arena. He walked in leisurely, wearing chain mail and carrying someone’s head in one hand.

“What, it’s not over yet?”

At Oswald’s appearance, the Council of Ten moved and quickly assumed a fighting stance with Oswald at the center.

This caused the Kronen family head, who had been fighting fiercely, to step back, and Royman, who was visibly exhausted, also stepped back and sighed. If this had continued any longer, Royman would have been badly defeated.

Oswald, sensing this from his demeanor, had interrupted their fight at just the right moment.

“Who are you?”

At the Kronen family lord’s question, Oswald once again struck a pose and said,

“Me? I am the one who saves the weak! I fight for love and justice! Peacemaker!”

“. . . . . .”

“. . . . . .”

“. . . . . .”

“. . . . . .”

“Oh, and this is a present.”

Oswald threw the head he was holding towards the lord. The lord caught the flying head and examined it. . . . . .

“How dare you. . . . . .”

Realizing that it was the head of Lord Maren, his father-in-law, the Kronen family lord glared at Oswald with murderous intent. However, Oswald simply flicked his ear with his little finger and pretended not to care.

“I just wiped out the Maren family. And it looks like Royman is pretty tired, so why don’t we just end this?”

At Oswald’s words, the other Peacemaker members who had been hiding themselves stepped out. They revealed their presence, each with Aura Blade added to their weapons.

With the addition of four more Master-class fighters, not only the Council of Ten but also the elders of the Council who were present at the scene were terrified.

“Royman, is it okay for me to intervene now?”

At Gilgamesh’s question, Royman nodded.

“It hurts my pride, but. . . . . . it’s true that the family head is too much for me alone. I almost got into danger just now.”

“Good, Royman agrees.”

At that moment, Gilgamesh’s figure disappeared and he suddenly appeared behind the Kronen family head, cutting his throat.

Poof!

Blood spurted out as his neck was severed from his body, and the Kronen family head’s torso collapsed.

Gilgamesh then grabbed the flying head with his left hand and held it out to Royman.

The Council of Ten assassins who were present at the scene, as well as the elders who had moved with the Council of Ten, froze in place as if they had turned to stone.

Then, Royman, who had received the Kronen family head’s head from Gilgamesh, stepped forward.

“I, Royman, will become the head of the Kronen family. If anyone has any objections, speak now.”

At Royman’s words, not only the Council of Ten but also the elders remained silent.

After that, they returned to the Kronen family with Royman and began to deal with the remaining matters.

When Royman appeared with the Kronen family lord’s head, even the elders who had remained neutral turned around, and many of the assassination squads swore allegiance to Royman. In fact, there was no one who dared to rebel, since the Council of Ten were already on his side.

Royman then dealt with Mariska and her son Ruaman without further ado. He did this to prevent them from becoming a problem in the future.

“From now on, our Kronen family will support His Highness the First Prince of the Empire. When His Highness ascends to the throne in the future, we will wash away all the disgrace and step into the light. Who will join me in leaving the darkness and bask in the glory of the sun?”

At those words, everyone bowed formally before Royman.

With this, Royman, who had received their unwavering oath of loyalty, decided to remain in Kuwait City until the end of the summer vacation to finalize matters. He also prepared to enhance the Kronen family’s intelligence capabilities and to deal with any obstacles that might hinder the First Prince’s accession to the throne.
