The Villain's Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God's Sidekick-Chapter 170 - 171: The Duke’s Daughter is Impressive

The Second Prince narrowed his eyes and lifted his head, feeling the intense pressure from above the clouds.

"What is that?"

Within the clouds, something seemed to be rolling, stirring up wave after wave of air currents!

It twisted back and forth in the air, surrounded by dense streams of white energy.

The clouds obscured it, and the surrounding winds came to a halt.

Standing beside the Second Prince, even Dick himself sensed something amiss.

Having lived in the far north for years, Dick was accustomed to the cold, but this weather inexplicably brought about a sense of irritation and fear.

He stood next to the Second Prince and said respectfully,

"Your Highness... perhaps we should conclude our investigation for today?"

This was already an abnormal situation.

The North, known for its constant wind and snow, had suddenly fallen silent.

He needed to hurry back and report this to the General.

But the Second Prince didn’t respond.

As if noticing something, the Second Prince looked towards the group of knights still investigating.

Suddenly, his eyes widened.

"Don’t get close to that place!"

The Second Prince’s voice rang out loudly, causing the knights near the ruined temple who were about to inspect it to turn their heads.

But suddenly, their bodies froze.

It was as if a pair of giant eyes were watching them from within the wind.

In the silence, they could only hear the distant voice.

"Run..."

Boom——!!!

A thunderous roar, accompanied by a storm, swept across the sky!

A massive, dazzling light flashed by, as if a storm had descended upon the mortal realm.

With devastating power, it plowed through the snow-covered plain, heading straight for everyone at the ruins.

In an instant, Dick quickly grabbed the staff at his waist and raised it.

The staff immediately emitted a brilliant light.

[Glory’s Protection]

A huge energy barrier suddenly rose up, seemingly inlaid with countless shimmering gems, flashing with a dazzling radiance.

But in the face of that raging wind, it appeared incredibly fragile.

A terrifying scene unfolded before the two.

The storm raged, carrying a horrifying pressure, devouring everything in its path.

Even the seemingly solid barrier was shaking and on the verge of collapse in this storm.

Finally, a crack appeared in the barrier.

With a ’crack’ sound.

Like shattering glass, it could no longer withstand the surging storm.

Dick was thrown back hundreds of meters by the aftermath of the storm, slamming hard into an ice wall, instantly losing consciousness and fainting.

Only the Second Prince remained standing in place.

Unknowingly, black stripes had crawled up his face.

The storm did not shake his body; around him, several thorns sprang up from the ground, tightly binding him.

As the storm dissipated, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, half-kneeling on the ground.

Severely injured...

Merely being affected by that terrifying attack, even with the barrier absorbing much of the force.

He had suffered such severe injuries.

The Second Prince looked at the scene before him with utter shock.

Everything around had disappeared.

The abandoned temple ruins, the surrounding knights.

It was as if everything had scattered with the wind under that astonishing storm.

What on earth was that?

He suddenly looked up, gazing at the sky above.

He saw its form clearly.

It seemed to be a... giant worm-like creature.

Its claws appeared even thicker and more powerful than a giant dragon’s, clutching a mass of dark clouds, gradually revealing its head.

A huge, pitch-black head.

It was as dark as the clouds, seeming to have two antennae on top of its head.

Its body, black as ink, continuously rolled within the cloud layer.

"...A snake?"

The Second Prince stared wide-eyed, looking at the sky in terror.

That huge monster, able to freely traverse the sky.

It was definitely not something humans could defeat.

And it certainly couldn’t be a snake.

Suddenly, its head moved.

As if sensing something, those eyes like two bright lamps looked in a certain direction.

It abruptly began to move its body, re-entering the cloud layer.

The dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the weather slowly returned to normal.

Feeling the ice and snow once again falling on his body, the Second Prince finally moved.

He sat down heavily, gasping for breath.

For the first time, he felt the sensation of death creeping into his heart.

That feeling was so close to him.

"...Greed, are you still there?"

"What exactly was that just now?"

In response to his inquiry, Yem’s voice, slightly trembling, sounded out.

"That was... a Calamity."

The Second Prince froze in place.

A Calamity?

What on earth was that thing?

"Don’t ask me too much."

"Don’t let it discover you. Don’t... provoke it."

Yem’s voice gradually subsided.

The Second Prince remained silent.

He raised his head again, looking towards the sky.

Looking in the direction where that terrifying monster had departed.

"The Pale Magic Association..."

......

[Second-tier Magic: Water Curtain]

Multiple magic arrays surged around Erica, intertwining with the surrounding wind and snow.

Like rippling water, it radiated out from around Erica’s body.

"Splash......"

A stream of clear spring water fell from the sky, like dancing water, gathering around Erica, gradually forming a small vortex, enveloping her within.

"Hum hum hum......"

As the mist grew thicker, Erica within the water curtain became increasingly blurred.

Suddenly, the mist violently expanded, enveloping the entire water curtain.

Within this water screen, every part of her body seemed to be washed over and over again by the water flow.

Erica closed her eyes, allowing the water vapor to permeate around her, not moving at all.

"Not bad."

Beside her, Amelia stood, a lollipop in her mouth.

She quietly watched Erica, nodding with satisfaction.

"It seems your control over your own magical power has improved a bit more."

The water curtain persisted for a while before gradually dissipating into the wind and snow.

Erica’s expression remained unchanged as she opened her eyes, smiling politely at Amelia:

"Thank you."

Today’s magic practice had ended, and she sat down on nearby steps to rest.

But her expression showed a hint of worry.

The Second Prince had rushed from the capital just to investigate the demon incident.

She knew this very well.

Although Erica didn’t know if that Second Prince could actually uncover anything, she was somewhat concerned.

After all, that demon was summoned by Professor Viktor.

"Woo——"

Suddenly, an alarm sounded abruptly, and Erica suddenly raised her head.

In the many days since coming to the North, she had never heard such an urgent alarm.

"What’s happening?"

Amelia stood beside her, speaking calmly.

"If this kind of alarm is sounded, it generally signifies the occurrence of two things."

"Either a barbarian invasion, or some kind of natural disaster is about to happen."

Erica nodded in realization.

But among the barbarian tribes, the two most powerful forces were already nearly extinct.

And the remaining barbarians were no longer a significant threat.

So...

"A natural disaster?"

"No."

Amelia reached out her hand, sensing the surroundings, where the wind had unknowingly already calmed down.

She raised her head, her gaze fixed directly on the sky above, where that terrifying creature had already exposed half of its body.

"I’m afraid it’s even worse than that."

Suddenly, deep in Erica’s heart, there was a slight sinking feeling.

It was as if something was calling out with a series of echoes.

She raised her palm.

This chapt𝒆r is updated by frёewebηovel.cѳm.

As if responding to some kind of summons.

In the center of her palm, a stream of air involuntarily rose up.

Erica raised her head, also looking towards the sky.

That terrifying creature, which had exposed half of its body, revealed its enormous eyes, like giant light bulbs.

"!"

Erica knew very clearly.

The gaze of that terrifying monster.

It was looking directly at her.

Suddenly, it withdrew its gaze.

Its body rolled back and forth between the cloud layers, stirring up waves of air currents around it.

In an instant, it reared its head and let out a long roar to the sky!

"Roar——!!!"

A sound like a dragon’s cry resonated across the entire territory.

Then she just raised her head, looking towards the sky.

Astonishing winds began to blow again.

And this time, the biting cold wind seemed to carry a knife-like cutting sensation.

......

Vladimir, wrapped in a large fur coat, stood atop a snowy mountain.

Feeling the dangerously cold wind around him, he reached out a hand, pinching the cigar in his mouth.

He took a deep drag.

"Hiss..."

Behind him stood several mages clad in white robes.

Vladimir didn’t turn around, speaking indifferently.

"Have they all gathered?"

"More or less."

The person behind him reported.

Vladimir raised his head, looking at the enormous creature in the sky.

The giant worm-like creature continuously twisted its body, carrying an unparalleled sense of pressure.

The surrounding wind howled, blowing his large fur coat behind him.

A pain shot through his cheek, and he reached out to touch his face.

A trail of blood smeared down his hand.

Even the wind carried such terrifying power.

Faced with such a horrifying existence, Vladimir showed no panic, instead laughing.

"I’ve never seen anything like this in all my years."

"It must be something only those gods could create."

He took another deep drag of the cigar in his mouth, then violently threw it onto the snow, stomping on it hard.

"Too bad, I don’t believe in any fucking gods."

"Tell the others, all the children in the territory, the elderly, and the women who can’t fight, take them all to the Northern Frontier."

Ever since the Delin family changed hands, along with politicians like Kevla mediating back and forth.

The relationship between the Pale Magic Association and the Northern Knights had eased somewhat.

And now, they had no choice but to seek the protection of the Northern Knights.

"Oh right, and that little girl Erica."

"She’s Levi’s child, we can’t let her join the battle."

Hearing this, the people behind him became anxious.

"General, what about you?"

If he could avoid fighting, he certainly wouldn’t want to engage with this kind of creature.

"If this thing could communicate, perhaps there might be some room for negotiation."

Unfortunately, it came with hostile intent.

That monster was clearly targeting the Pale Magic Association.

A gust of icy wind howled past, carrying flying snow, the biting cold forcing his cheeks to turn bright red.

He furrowed his brows tightly, his gaze fixed on the distant sky.

Its enormous body writhed in the air, dark scales gleaming with an evil light. Its eyes surged like a raging storm, as if ready to devour and grind everything to dust.

"If I leave, how will I cover your retreat?"

Vladimir grinned, his smile seeming to carry a hint of madness.

"Even if I die, I’ve got to peel off a few pieces of this long worm’s skin."

His voice echoed in the wind, filled with unyielding courage.

The wind was bitterly cold, snow was flying, and the fierce snowy air whirled up fiercely behind him.

His white hair fluttered wildly in the wind, like a banner, flying high.

He tightly gripped the huge battle axe materialized from his gloves, frost’s chill emanating from the axe blade, even the surrounding air had frozen into ice crystals.

Wind and snow intertwined, the cold permeated, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.

At this moment, he was like a war god, cold and fearless.
