The Male Leads Were Stolen By The Extra [EN]: Chapter 135

<135>

“You crazy bastard……”

A curse laced with awe escaped MacRyan’s lips as he witnessed the massive explosion.

Just as he was about to grip his sword at the sudden appearance of the Undead, the Demon King waved his hand once, and it was all over.

He hated to admit it, but the difference in power was palpable. And the fact that he really was the Demon King.

“It doesn’t seem to be over. They’re appearing again over there.”

Reief was just as taken aback, but he readjusted his grip on his sword and pointed to the Undead crawling up from the floor once more.

Before they knew it, the five of them had gathered in a circle, their backs pressed tightly together. Like comrades.

“……”

Celonia felt a strange mix of emotions in the current situation.

This had definitely happened before. During the subjugation [a past military campaign], she, Ian, MacRyan, and Reief had faced the monsters with their backs to each other.

But now, Tan was in the place where Ian had been. The Demon King they had subjugated.

“You guys take care of the rest.”

“What? Do you think we’re your subordinates!?”

MacRyan bristled at Tan’s commanding tone, barking back at him.

Regardless, Tan turned his gaze away from them, wrapped his arm around Celonia’s waist, and teleported.

“Hey, hey! You son of a……!”

MacRyan shouted, but the two had already disappeared.

“Tch……”

MacRyan ran a hand through his hair, clearly annoyed, and finally drew his sword.

He was supposed to deal with the small fry while they went off to catch the boss? Not on his watch.

“We’ll take care of them quickly and join you. You stay out of the way. Don’t be a hindrance,”

MacRyan warned Ella before leaping high into the air.

Reief, following MacRyan’s signal, once again swung his sword at the Undead surrounding them.

Swinging their swords while recalling the subjugation from the past, the two men’s movements were incredibly swift.

“Kyaaak!”

Thwack!

Grace, instantly slammed against the wall, glared at the two with a venomous expression.

“What the hell are you doing!”

She had been caught by the scruff of her neck by Tan, who had suddenly appeared without giving her a chance to resist, and then thrown straight into the wall.

More irritating and humiliating than the pain that felt like her body was breaking was the fact that Celonia was looking down at her from beside Tan. Shamelessly occupying his side.

“Where is your father right now?”

“I, I’m the real Celonia……! You’re being deceived by that bitch! I’m the real one! You should be next to me, not her! You’re supposed to be! Aaaagh!”

Grace, her face contorted with resentment at Tan’s words, couldn’t contain her anger and screamed, clutching her head.

“It’s me. Everything is mine. How dare, how dare you steal my things?! How dare you covet what’s mine!”

Slap!

Grace, who had jumped up from her seat, had her head snapped to the side with a sharp crack.

Celonia watched her palm turn red with a cool gaze before opening her mouth to Grace.

“You need to get your facts straight. You’re the one who stole this body. You’re the one who coveted what’s mine.”

“You crazy bitch! How dare you hit me?! You have nothing, so you have no fear! Thief! Stealing someone else’s body! Stealing my life!”

Grace, looking like a madwoman, stood up from her seat and reached out towards Celonia.

However.

“Let go of me! Kyaaaaak! Ugh, ugh……!”

Tan grabbed Grace’s neck and lifted her up in one swift motion.

Grace gasped for air, kicking her legs in the air in suffocating pain.

But she couldn’t scream.

Because she was terrified of the man’s eyes in front of her. The red eyes that held her captive with an irrational gaze seemed as if they would tear at her neck and rip her limbs apart.

Why……?

Why are you looking at me like that?

As if you hate me, as if you’re desperate to kill me.

You like Celonia, and I’m the real Celonia, so why are you looking at me like that!

“No one doesn’t know that you’re the real Celonia. Tan, MacRyan, and Reief all know. But they’re still by my side. They chose me, not you. Do you really not know why?”

Celonia said, looking up at Grace, who was beyond reasoning, without stopping Tan.

“Kkeueueueuk! Shut up. D, don’t lie to meeee!”

As if she didn’t want to hear it, Grace denied everything and screamed, her face flushed red as if it would burst.

Seeing Grace’s eyes rolling back as if she were about to pass out any second, Celonia placed her hand on Tan’s arm.

Thud.

As Tan released his grip, Grace’s body, which had been floating in the air, fell to the floor without any dignity.

“Cough, cough!”

Celonia bent her knees to meet Grace’s eye level as Grace clutched her neck and coughed incessantly.

“You threw it away yourself. This body and this life.”

“How dare you look down on me just because you have a man backing you up? Oh ho. You’re acting so confident, so it must be your trickery! In the end, you’ve also dabbled in black magic! That’s how you forcibly won their hearts! Ha! I knew it. I knew it!”

“Haa……”

Celonia’s brow furrowed as she looked at Grace, who was impossible to reason with.

It would be better to catch Galloway and end the situation than to waste time like this, so she was about to turn around when Celonia’s body was suddenly pulled to the side.

Tan had quickly wrapped his arm around her waist and stepped back.

“Ugh……”

An Undead appeared without a sound in the spot where Celonia had been standing, growling.

“Is this how you treat someone else’s daughter? Does the Duke not intend to marry Celonia? How will you get my permission like this?”

At that moment, Galloway’s leisurely voice was heard from behind.

“Father!”

Grace, who had been glaring with vicious eyes, was overjoyed and quickly stood up to hide behind Galloway.

Soon, Galloway waved his hand without hesitation, and Undead, appearing from nowhere, began to rush towards Tan.

But Tan looked at those Undead as if they were bugs and flicked his fingers.

Whoosh.

With a tremendous blaze, dozens of Undead who had rushed in menacingly disappeared into ashes.

“H, how……”

Grace was shocked at the unbelievable sight.

“Ho…… So you’re not an ordinary guy.”

Galloway, who had been watching the scene closely, tried to sound relaxed, but his eyes betrayed him. He had never seen or heard of such a trick.

“Celonia.”

At that moment, Tan called Celonia in a gentle voice.

“Yes.”

“Just say the word.”

Celonia, who understood what he meant, smiled and opened her mouth.

“Just before they die. Because he’s a guy who shouldn’t die so easily.”

“Anything you want.”

Tan grinned and moved his body at the finally given order.

“Haha. You’re going to fight me…… Ugh!”

Galloway couldn’t finish his sentence. There was clearly a distance of several meters, but the man had approached him in the blink of an eye.

Tan immediately grabbed Galloway’s neck and ran.

“Ugh!”

Galloway struggled to escape from Tan’s grasp, but it was impossible.

Moreover, the speed at which he was running was so fast that he could hear the sound of the wind cutting through the air as he was dragged along like a rag with his neck grabbed.

“U, ugh…… Let go of me……!”

Galloway, who was completely enraged, moved his hand to summon the Undead.

The summoned Undead reached out their sharp hands and clung to Tan’s body. Then Tan grinned as if he was genuinely amused and kicked off the ground, jumping upwards.

“Aaaagh!”

A groan escaped Galloway’s lips. Tan had used Galloway’s body as a shield to break through the ceiling of the mansion.

As he jumped up to the third floor in one go, the Undead attached to Tan’s body couldn’t overcome the inertia and plummeted to the floor. Like dead leaves falling from a tree.

“H, how…… Ugh!”

Galloway looked at Tan, who was gripping his neck, with trembling eyes as if an earthquake had occurred.

Unlike the Undead that had fallen, Tan remained floating in the air.

This is impossible. This couldn’t be happening.

How, how could this be……! Such an ability was unheard of……!

“You’re tough, so you’ll survive.”

“What……!”

Before he could even understand those cruel words, Galloway’s body was thrown towards the broken floor. Tan had thrown Galloway, whom he was holding, downwards with all his might.

Thud!

Not even a few seconds later, a huge roar and ashes flew as if it had exploded.

“……Ugh.”

Galloway, who had been slammed straight into the floor, couldn’t come to his senses due to the intense pain that made him feel dizzy and as if his whole body was shattered.

But before he could even fully feel the pain, his body, which had become a rag, was once again lifted up insignificantly. Tan, who had already landed lightly on the ground from the air, grabbed Galloway by the scruff of his neck and lifted him up.

Galloway grabbed Tan’s wrist with trembling hands.

“You, you bastard……. Ugh, what are you?”

It was hopeless. The Undead he summoned were instantly destroyed by that guy’s single gesture.

This merciless power. An ability he had never seen before.

Just who is this guy……!

“Who knows.”

Tan tilted his head languidly at Galloway’s question. He was quite pleased with Galloway’s appearance, covered in ashes and with his limbs drooping.

As expected, this tenacious cockroach-like guy was still alive.

He doesn’t die even at this level.

Well then, Celonia said just before he dies, so it should be okay for now.

He licked his lips and brought his eerie and cruel eyes close to Galloway.

“Let’s just say you’re an existence you can’t imagine.”

Thwaaack!

Once again, Galloway’s body was slammed into the ground.

“Huh……”

MacRyan, who had belatedly rushed over after defeating the Undead, clicked his tongue. Tan, who was rampaging like a mad dog as if he had been waiting for this moment, was slamming Galloway into the ground over and over again.

As if that wasn’t enough, he gathered the ashes scattered on the floor into a huge sphere and even threw it at Galloway.

Whether he had fainted or not, Galloway’s eyes had already rolled back, revealing the whites, and his mouth was foaming.

He had become a rag, and he was being dragged around by Tan, who showed no signs of stopping. It was so brutal that Galloway looked pitiful.

“Th, th, that crazy…… Ugh.”

MacRyan shuddered, letting out a deep sigh. How fortunate it was that the guy was on Celonia’s side at this moment…….

The face that was smiling cruelly even after turning Galloway into mincemeat was truly the face of a Demon King.
