61. Defying Fate (Vote at the beginning of the month~)
At this moment, the cold light blazed, the ominous glow frightening the inexperienced extras into a terrified standstill. Thanks to this, I, who had been rolling around just a second ago, lamenting, “My stomach got punched, I’m going to throw up!” had now escaped such a wretched state.
An incredible power surged into my body, and in the next moment, I felt as if I had surpassed my former self. I was no longer the villain Euclid, who had to quickly check the script and think of ways to escape when discovered by the extras!
“Hu~”
I exhaled a breath of turbid air, slowly rising. In my hand was the magic sword transformed from the ice fairy Alsace, as if it had merged with me!
A divine magic sword, boundless magical power, and then… fairy power! I had transcended the ordinary villain, mastering the entire script!
“What are you so proud of?”
But in the next moment, Miss Alsace immediately poured a bucket of cold water over me.
—
Damn, I clearly have never experienced this kind of overwhelming power like a typical protagonist, so why do you have to expose me so quickly when I just wanted to show off a bit?
Perhaps it’s because Miss Alsace’s voice appeared directly in my mind, as if scripted, that her sharp tongue was completely unrestrained.
“You think you look impressive, but you really don’t. I just gave you power, but you don’t have the fate to control it completely, you fool.”
“Stop nagging, I know.”
I wasn’t too disappointed; after all, I already knew I was just a desperate villain who had to cling to the protagonist’s coattails to survive. How could I compete with someone like Kephiel for screen time? It’s infuriating!
“Well, as long as I’m here, dealing with some minor characters is no problem.”
That’s right, I just need to ensure my own safety. As for fighting and saving the day at critical moments, that’s what the great Kephiel should be doing.
At first, my aura, which seemed like a small universe exploding, intimidated them, but when they realized nothing happened, they swarmed back under Louis XIII’s command, wanting to chop me into pieces!
Hmph, but now I’m not afraid at all; the script has taken a turn, thanks to Miss Alsace in my hand!
Great, now with this magic sword, let’s cut off the heads of these villains…
“Don’t get too happy! Do you even know your own weight!? Breathe deeply, feel the affinity for the cold in the air!”
“Uh…”
I don’t understand, but I have to follow orders! After all, this is the only script that can temporarily get me out of this crisis!
[Ogilid used Alsace’s power to defeat the minor characters!]
“Then strike a pose! Make it dramatic!”
“!”
In the next moment, I swung the magic sword based on instinct, and this time, it wasn’t just me being delusional; the swirling storm caught those minor characters, who thought I was just a weakling deserving of a beating, completely off guard . Not a single one escaped the icy, bone-chilling wind that swept them away, leaving them shivering on the ground!
Even Louis XIII, who had just called me a “trickster,” was taken aback, his eyes wide in shock.
“How is this possible? You… you’re not…”
Am I not completely useless?
“Hmph, old man, there’s a lot you don’t know!”
“A bunch of useless fools! Just a trickster! Watch me personally send you to the execution ground!”
Saying this, Louis XIII raised his staff, looking like he wanted to “kill me” himself!
Ha, now that I have this wonderful power, who knows who will end up dead! However, in my moment of triumph, I glanced at the script…
[Ogilid was killed by Louis XIII!]
But it told me things weren’t as I thought! Why!?
“Idiot, run! Do you think your body, which is even weaker than a roadside goose, can store much magic? You’re already out of power, and in a few minutes, you’ll be as exhausted as a dead pig! Hurry and run!”
In the next moment, Miss Alsace shouted anxiously at me, “The opponent might not be strong, but you really are weak.”
Ugh, so annoying! What can I do!?
Without saying another word, I stopped thinking about defeating Louis XIII single-handedly. Taking advantage of the fact that a bunch of minor characters had just been taken down, I turned around and chose the method Ogilid was best at—running away!
—
However, nothing would be that simple. After dealing with the minions, Louis XIII had personally entered the fray! This old man, though he was half-buried in the ground, seemed to possess a fifth-tier magical power that was no joke. Not only did he float up and chase me from behind, but he also hurled fireballs of all sizes at me in a chaotic manner!
“Behind, to the left, to the right!”
The scorching sensation truly brushed past me, exploding in front of me as I was chased out of his mansion. Although I wasn’t afraid of this “one-on-one” situation, just as Alsace had said, those three seconds of true manliness seemed to have drained all the strength I had within me. Before long, I felt weak all over, as if I had been exercising all day, and I couldn’t even muster the energy to move my fingers!
At the same time, the death script came crashing down without hesitation. After all, this time Louis XIII was not just some ordinary minion with a big mouth; the moment he realized he had chased me outside the mansion, he was more flustered than I was, eager to eliminate me!
“Hmph, using magical props to play tricks, your time of death has come, Oquilide!”
【Louis XIII killed Oquilide!】
Even if the script said so, I certainly had to make one last stand!
I turned around, wanting to “collide head-on,” defying the death script. However, just as that thought crossed my mind, the shockwave from the explosion behind me had already blown me away!
It seemed there was no chance of survival at all!
【Oquilide fell to his death!】
【Oquilide was stabbed to death by Louis XIII’s follow-up attack!】
【Oquilide!】
Unless… something that could truly be considered a “miracle” happened, like…
A certain silver-haired beauty who could rewrite the script as easily as eating and drinking?
And then, just like this…
【Oquilide was saved by Kephiel.】
【Kephiel taught Louis XIII a lesson!】
With ease, using something called the protagonist’s halo, I was immediately rescued, and then…
I collapsed into her warm and soft embrace, with two “pillows” to boot. Ah~ this is paradise.
“I’m sorry for putting you in danger because of me…”
It’s okay… you’re willing to go through fire and water for me, Kephiel.
Saying this, Kephiel took the magic sword Alsace from my hands without putting me down, and she charged at the already exasperated Louis XIII, who showed no sign of stopping even upon seeing her, throwing a fireball at us.
“It seems the one who wants to harm you is indeed this old man I’ve always disliked… Ugh, I told you not to run off and do this alone, you idiot.”
In an instant, an ice-blue storm covered everything! Against the minor villain, Kephiel didn’t even need to exert herself!
