Villain Simulator-Chapter 118 - 1 Man vs 100 Thousand Chaos Monsters
In the heart of the Chaos Dungeon, in front of a sea of Chaos monsters and under the ominous projection of the Eye of a Chaotic Creature, I stood resolute—a lone barrier opposing their goal of annihilating the traitor of their race.
But I did not back down.
Whether facing a single trivial Chaos Monster or an army of countless Chaos Monsters,
Even under the malevolent glare of the giant eye that floated in the sky,
It made no difference to me.
Even if Rachael was on my back, adding to the weight,
I stood upright, as always.
"The number is estimated to be about a hundred thousand."
That was not an exaggeration; I couldn’t even count the Chaos monsters that were immediately visible with the naked eye.
But it was a situation I was prepared for ever since I decided to enter the Dungeon with Rachael in it.
’For in crisis lies opportunity.’
In my eyes at that moment, everyone was a package of endless experience points!
I was already fully prepared, and the only task left for me to do was hunt Chaos monsters until...
’Until the time runs out.’
My gaze briefly flickered to Rachael’s captivating face buried in my nape, breathing heavily.
Yet there was not even a tinge of hesitation in my expressions or in my actions as I shouted in defiance.
"I will not allow you to do any harm to my Rachael!"

Boom-Boom-!!!
Earth trembled under the massive creatures’ advance, and they roared as if offended by my declaration.
Roar-!!!
These Chaos monsters were unlike any I had summoned or encountered before. Towering in size, they gave off a level of danger unmatched by anything I had ever witnessed.
I could feel the pressure more clearly because I was now facing them.
However, instead of moving back, this time I calmly walked towards the army.
The time for an all-out war had arrived.
"Book of Spells!"
In response to my command, a crimson-gemmed tome materialized in my left hand with a flash of red from the system storage, its pages unfurling on their own.
—————————
[Book of Spells (High Level)]
[Effect: Allows the user to cast pre-recorded spells without any requirements by infusing them with mana].
—————————
A high-level artifact of immense power that could not be purchased anywhere. Its value was so high that even the most prestigious auction houses dared not list it, fearing the calamity it might bring.
It was a treasure beyond measure—one that would make any wizard-type class player salivate.
This [Book of Spells] originally belonged to my dear sister Mia and was obtained from a high-level dungeon. However, with the helping hand of my father, I managed to get it from her.
’More like borrowed it.’
Even the top players would fight for possession of this coveted artifact, and naturally, my sister Mia was unwilling to part with it.
So, I could only take it temporarily.
That was also because Mia had little choice given my significant contribution to today’s plan, which directly raised my status in the family and jeopardized Mia’s position.
But such matters were of little significance to me.
’Everything will be mine sooner or later.’
[Currently saved number of spells: 25]
Stored within the book were 25 spells wielded by wizard-type players who had surpassed level 400.
From these, I selected the spell of a senior wizard of our guild and channeled my mana.
By infusing mana into the book, I not only bypassed the usual spell casting time but also simplified the complex incantation processes, manifesting the spell directly.
The effects of [Mana Affinity] also became evident here, reducing my mana consumption by nearly half while almost doubling the destructive power of the spell.
"Dragon’s Calamity!"
I called out viciously, and what emerged in the manifestation of the spell was a huge magical dragon, wriggling as if alive.
Unlike the Chaos energy of Chaos Monsters, this dragon was made up of magic—magic with the highest level of destructive nature—calamity magic.
"More!"
Nonetheless, even after the dragon manifested, I continued to infuse it with more mana and only stopped when my magical reserves dwindled to a mere 15%.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and the size of the magical dragon grew to nearly that of three Boeing 777 aircraft combined.
To such a monstrosity, I only gave one order.
"I want Annihilation!"
ROAR-!
Following my order, the dragon rushed forth like a tsunami, leaving nothing but devastation in its path.
Chaos monsters crumbled like dominoes, swept away by the unstoppable force of the colossal dragon.
However, before the bodies of the Chaos monsters dissipated into oblivion, I garbed as many of them as I could and sucked them dry of their remaining Chaos energy.
This time, instead of channeling the Chaos energy elsewhere, I allowed it to curse and spread through my mana pathways, which resulted in my power reaching new heights.
As for the consequences of this reckless act of borderline madness, I remained unperturbed.
’Sometimes, sacrifices must be made to achieve greater gains, and I will spare nothing to reach my goal!’
[Level has risen.]
[Level has risen.]
[...]
[Level has risen.]
System notifications also continued to flood my senses relentlessly.
Of course, there was no room for idle admiration.
The magic power that was used until just before exhaustion had already been filled up to 90% again due to Daisy’s generous contribution and my rise in level and stats.
[Number of Stored Spells: 24]
With one spell depleted, I wasted no time in unleashing another destructive incantation.
"Endless Torrent of Arrows!"
Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank!
Multiple giant bows and arrows manifested all around me like a ring.
twang!
With a swift motion, the holy-magic-infused golden arrows were loaded into the bows and unleashed in a torrent of destructive wrath upon the Chaos Monsters.
rat-a-tat-tat-!
The chaos monsters kept coming in waves, one after another, but were being decimated by the onslaught of never-ending arrows with deadly precision.
Of course, never-ending arrows were just a metaphor.
Even with my mana being constantly replenished, it couldn’t keep up with the consumption of the spell.
But I didn’t bat an eyelid.
I had nothing to worry about.
"Blazing Waves of Magma!"
"Giant Explosion."
...
When one spell had run its course, another one arose to replace it.
Each spell was met with a barrage of experience points.
[Level has risen.]
[Level has risen.]
[...]
[Level has risen.]
My level skyrocketed, but the number of remaining spells also plummeted into single digits.
[Number of Stored Spells: 9]
On top of that, even the speed at which mana was replenished slowed down.
’It seems Daisy is reaching her limit. There won’t be any more spells possible for the time being.’
Nevertheless, I knew that even if I were to manifest all of the remaining spells, I wouldn’t be able to annihilate the endless army of Chaos monsters.
But that was inconsequential, for I had never thought to rely solely on spells for victory.
This was just the appetizer. I not only had the abilities of a wizard but also of a swordsman—of a warrior.
I was the enemy to be feared above all others on the battlefield.
"For I am Adrian Vaiself."
’From now on, there will be no unnecessary expenditure of mana.’
"Come, Evolution Sword!"
Responding to my command, the Book of Spells vanished, and a translucent silvery sword materialized before me with a flash on the back of my right hand.
Gripping it firmly with both hands, I announced,
"Let’s call you Zenith from now on."
—————————————
[Evolution Sword (Zenith)]
[State: Prototype]
[Description: A sword that evolves alongside its wielder. The stronger the user, the stronger the sword, and vice versa. While in a prototype state, it possesses only one skill, but it can share skills with the user and continue to evolve on the battlefield.]
[Engraved Skill: One Sword]
[One Sword: Condenses and releases all in one strike.
Remark: If the boiling blood in my heart can be condensed on the blade of my sword, I can even split the sun with One Sword.]
—————————————
This sword was one of the keys to my victory.
Regrettably, to go with such an exquisite sword, I only had poor skill [Basic Swordsmanship]
Fortunately, that was only a matter of time, because [Evolution Sword] evolved not only itself but also its wielder on the battlefield of life and death.
"It’s time to unveil the path of ultimate evolution, Zenith!"
Raising my sword aloft, I fixed my gaze on the battlefield and assumed a stance.
"...!"
The stance of a high-ranking assassin-type player, Charlotte, that one couldn’t see any weak points in, and the killing intent that made you feel that you might lose your life any second—I imitated everything perfectly.
Not only because of my harsh training, but also because of my [Revered Physique]
The Chaos monsters that were rushing in stopped for a moment, as if sensing the danger ahead.
And I took advantage of that.
My heart pounded with adrenaline as I gripped my sword tightly in my hand, and I leaped into the horde of Chaos monsters like a meteor hurtling toward its target.
Boom!
Without a moment’s hesitation, I launched my assault—a lone warrior amidst a sea of darkness.
Slash-!
With each swing of my sword, a storm erupted around me, and monsters fell like wheat before the scythe, their forms splitting into two and crumbling to the ground in ashes.
My heightened agility allowed me to dance through their hordes like a shadow, striking with deadly precision and speed.
Even though the raw power behind my attacks was lacking, the velocity behind them more than made up for it.
Whoosh!
Despite my basic swordsmanship, the power and sharpness of my [Evolution Sword] continued to rise with each strike, absorbing the chaos energy of every Chaos monster it met.
Every kill strengthened me as I leveled up and honed my skills through the feedback of [Evolution Sword] working in conjunction with my [Revered Physique].
There was no mana infused in the Evolution Sword; there was no need to.
I had never thought of evolving this sword in the normal way of magic. Rather, I wanted to make it the [Evolution Sword of Chaos].
’Then let me feed you with Chaos energy and let you take the first step towards the path of the Ultimate Sword, Zenith.’
Having gotten a hang of the sword, I allowed it to absorb the Chaos energy of every strike, and its translucent silvery surface darkened with each absorption.
I held the sword tighter in my hands as I felt the rush of Chaos energy being absorbed in it and multiplying its destructive power.
’That’s it; let’s show them who’s the prey and who’s the hunter.’
I couldn’t help but marvel at the sword’s ability to cut, which was getting stronger.
However…
Even if my combat power increased through Buff and Blessing Sequences, through continuous level-ups, Evolution Sword, and Chaos energy, there was still one thing missing—Sword energy, aka Sword aura.
Yet, I wasn’t worried because I could feel it.
My skill [Basic swordsmanship] was already at its limit after days of training.
And it wasn’t long before, eventually, on this battlefield of life and death, with the superimposed effect of [Evolution Sword] and [Revered Physique], that...
[Ding!]
[The skill ’Basic Swordsmanship’ has been upgraded to ’Intermediate Swordsmanship’.]
’Finally! I broke through.’
