A Villain's Journey Begins in the Type-Moon World

Along the way, their team had already dealt with many scouts. With Ines's Originium Arts for observing shadows, they were like having full-map vision; none of the enemy scouts' tracks could escape their eyes, and they were eventually eliminated one by one.

About an hour later, Wang Chong estimated the distance and said to one of the crossbowmen, "This should be about right. You stay here and notify me when you see Talulah and the others. Then we'll start retreating. The rest of you should also report to me along the way so I can confirm the distance of Talulah from here and make an estimate."

"Yes!" the people replied in unison.

“Ines, you’ll be coming back with me. If there are still some guys in the plan who haven’t died, you and W might have to fight a tough battle. Be prepared. You don’t need to hold out for too long; Talulah and the others will arrive just in time,” Wang Chong said, turning to Ines.

Chapter Forty-Seven: Snow Burial

Inside the Ursus camp, the captain was resting. Several hours earlier, he had received a message from the army group: the fish were already rushing towards the river, and he needed to quickly prepare.

Therefore, the captain ordered most of his men to take turns resting at night to ensure they were well-rested for the night's battle. However, just then, a messenger's voice rang out outside the tent: "Report! Captain! We have new intelligence about that guerrilla force!"

"Come in," the captain said slowly.

"Yes, sir!" The messenger entered and said, "According to the information sent by the messengers along the river, the guerrilla raft is now only about half an hour away from here."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this news, the captain was overjoyed and said, "It seems this big fish has finally fallen into my hands. Go, notify everyone to prepare for assembly, bring your weapons, especially the siege equipment we've prepared. Then prepare to leave the camp. Once the dam is blown up, we'll launch an attack on that area! As for you, continue receiving messages from the messenger on the riverbank, and don't forget to notify the detonator immediately."

"Yes!" The messenger and his adjutant immediately withdrew and began to assemble the troops.

……

In the middle of the snow mountain, Yang Ge and Da Xiong chanted incantations over the Originium array they had set up. Snow began to swirl around them, and the light from the Originium array extended upwards and downwards, forming a distinct black and red line on the snow mountain.

"Phew... Success! All the Originium arrays are connected. Now we just need to wait for the detonation to begin the final spell. Let's go, Big Bear, let's stay away, or we'll get buried in there too, that would be hilarious," Yang said.

"This is the first time I've seen two of us take down thousands of people with our Originium Arts alone! Hahaha, now I'll have even more to brag about to my brothers when we get back!" Big Bear laughed loudly and cheerfully.

"Keep your voice down," Yang Ge said, covering the bear's mouth before leading it away. The snow wind howled, and a man-made natural disaster was quietly brewing on this snow-covered mountain.

……

"Okay, received. Talulah will arrive here in about 20 minutes. You should head back now and prepare for possible battle." After receiving the message using the power of the black mist, Wang Chong took out another communication device from the black mist, labeled 1, and began transmitting the message: Fish will arrive at the destination in 10 minutes.

"W, get ready, you can begin. Then wait for instructions. First, detonate the first, second, and third bombs on the snow mountain in sequence. After the third bomb explodes, detonate all remaining bombs, including the one on the dam." Wang Chong began to use the power of the black mist and spoke to W.

“OK.” W’s brief reply echoed in the black mist. However, Wang Chong knew that W had already started working with Faust. With Faust’s Originium Arts, they successfully approached the dam and used their own Originium Arts to turn all the bombs detected on it into their own more powerful bombs.

W then left the dam with Faust and stealthily approached the group responsible for detonating it, aiming their ballistae at them. Faust, too, set up his ballista, chose an opponent, and prepared to fire.

Wang Chong silently estimated the time. After about 6 minutes, he spoke: "First bomb!"

The black mist simultaneously relayed the message to W and the duo on the snowy mountain. W immediately pressed the bomb buried at the top of the mountain, while Yang and Kuma began to use Originium Arts to activate the Originium magic circles that had been set up.

"Boom—"

Because the sound was too far from the foot of the mountain, it was drowned out by the surrounding noise by the time it reached the base, and no one noticed it. But the snowstorm had already begun to fall from the top.

"Second bomb... Third bomb!"

Wang Chong timed it perfectly and continued to guide W to press the button. W naturally followed his instructions and detonated the two bombs, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. In fact, the bombs W used Originium Arts to create were basically imbued with a trace of her perception, so she could not only recognize which bombs she had planted, but also sense some changes in the surrounding environment.

What's strange is that Wang Chong always manages to detonate her bombs precisely when a massive avalanche is covering them, thus maximizing the scale of each avalanche with each explosion.

"Could this guy have tampered with my bomb?" W couldn't help but wonder.

"Detonate all the bombs now!" Wang Chong shouted immediately.

"Let's blow them all up!" W couldn't help but get excited and triggered all the bombs at once.

"boom!!!"

A violent explosion erupted from the dam, leaving the demolition crew, who were waiting for Talulah's raft to arrive, dumbfounded. "Wait, I didn't even press the button! How did the dam just explode like that?"

Before they could even think for long, a deafening explosion erupted around them. Their ears were instantly ringing, and their consciousness began to fade into darkness.

"Shhhhh-"

Faust then used his crossbow to finish off the few Ursus soldiers who hadn't been taken down by W's attack, eliminating them all cleanly and efficiently.

"Not bad, kid. You've got the makings of a mercenary." W glanced at the boy who had calmly dispatched his opponent with a hint of appreciation, then picked up his crossbow and said, "Get out of the way, don't get buried in that snowstorm. There might be cleanup work to do later."

Faust nodded and followed W to find a high vantage point, ready to fire crossbows at the riverbed area at any time.

Meanwhile, in the camp, the captain had gathered all his troops and was waiting. When he heard the sound of the explosion, he frowned slightly. It happened a few minutes faster than he had expected.

However, after careful consideration, he quickly deduced a conclusion and shouted, "It seems those people are quite clever. They guessed we might have set up an ambush here and prepared to land in advance. It looks like the explosion didn't seriously injure them, but they won't be able to escape from us easily! Everyone, follow me out of the camp immediately! Let's wipe out these villains who are burning, killing, and looting on the snowfield!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" the Ursus soldiers shouted.

Then, three thousand soldiers marched out of the camp in perfect unison, and even the siege artillery was withdrawn from the camp, taking up high ground and aiming at the riverbed below. The captain, while directing the troops, followed them to the riverbed, which had been blown to pieces.

"...Where are they?" The soldiers ahead were searching for traces of the enemy in the darkness. Although they hadn't brought any lighting equipment, they had long since adapted to the night environment and could still roughly see the situation on the riverbed.

But let alone the guerrillas, there wasn't even a trace of the stranded rafts. After the bombing, the entire riverbed was a pile of rocks, making it impossible for rafts to pass; those people couldn't possibly have escaped from this side.

"Could they be in the woods? Send an advance team to search the woods... What's that sound?" Just as the captain was about to order his men to search the woods, he suddenly heard a sound like muffled thunder behind him.

The others also looked behind them in great surprise, as the rumbling sound was so loud that it almost drowned out everything else around them. Just then, a scout running from the direction of the camp, looking as if he'd seen a ghost, shouted at the top of his lungs, "Snow—! Snow—!!"

"Snow what?!—!!!"

Just as the captain was wondering what the scout who had run over was saying, he finally saw the source of the loud noise, and his face turned deathly pale in an instant.

It was about ten meters tall and instantly engulfed their camp, then rushed towards them.

"It's an avalanche!! An avalanche!! Run!!"

Clearly, the other soldiers had also witnessed this. Someone spoke first, and in an instant, the entire ranks crumbled. Faced with this natural disaster, they all seemed incredibly small. They began to scramble to escape.

But the snow was already moving at an extreme speed, so how could it let them escape? In the next second, the snow swallowed the scout, and in the next second, the snow began to swallow the soldiers. In the last second, it swallowed everyone up and killed them all.

Chapter 48 Did You Miss Me? Talulah

On the snow-capped mountain

"Holy crap! Yang Ge, did you see that? Holy crap... did you see that?" Big Bear stammered, clearly terrified by the sight below the mountain.

"I... I saw it, of course! (Ursus swearing)! We really pulled off a big one this time! All those avalanches that were spreading everywhere, guided by our Originium Arts, all rushed towards the camp! They're all buried!" Yang was also extremely excited at this moment, he hadn't expected the scene before him.

“Damn it! I heard that people in those cities have something called a camera that can capture both scenery and people as souvenirs. This rare moment should be captured properly so we can show it to our older sister and brothers when we get back,” Big Bear said.

"Alright! I know you want to brag, but do you really think you can boast about your meager skills in front of your elder sister? If it were her this time, she wouldn't even need these snow-capped mountains; she could freeze those guys solid." Yang Ge patted the bear's back and said, "Alright, hurry up and take our icebreakers down! The three thousand Ursus soldiers can't all be ordinary soldiers; some of them might not survive being buried in the snow. Let's go down and provide support, before we have to rescue them from the snow."

"Okay, okay, don't rush me, let me watch for a little longer."

"You can go down and see too! Hurry up, or I'll kick you!"

……

At this point, W and Faust had both climbed up the tree to the riverbed, only to find that the snow was almost a meter away from them. This gives you an idea of ​​just how thick the avalanche was.

"Phew... Luckily I climbed high enough, otherwise I would have been buried alive... With snow this deep, no one should be able to get out, right? They'd either freeze to death or suffocate in a while." W said, looking down at the snow-covered ground below.

“It’s hard to say. Even in a breathless environment, some powerful individuals can use Originium Arts. However, melting such thick snow with Originium Arts isn’t so simple unless everyone works together to melt it. Let’s climb a bit higher and see if anyone can escape using Originium Arts,” Faust said as he climbed up.

“Maybe we don’t need to hold out so tightly. My crossbow bolts aren’t that penetrating, but you’re different. You’ll get instructions soon.” W smiled mysteriously, then started climbing to a higher position as well, muttering to himself, “Tsk… I can’t step on this snow, can I? Will I have to jump from one tree to another later?”

Faust frowned slightly, not understanding what W had just said. But before he could think for long, the voice of the gentleman he respected rang out from the black mist in his ears.

"Yes...yes. Huh? You can see my field of vision? Hmm, please continue...to the left, then 20 degrees to the left, 30 degrees downward angle, roughly in this direction? I understand."

As Faust answered, he finally understood the meaning of W's words. He never expected that Wang Chong could see from his perspective, and what was even more unbelievable to Faust was that the other party could clearly know which Ursus soldiers might break free from the snow, allowing him to adjust his angle for an attack.

"call out--"

After Faust had gathered the Originium Arts, he fired the crossbow bolt. The power of Faust's arrow even amazed the shield guards. After all, it was an arrow that even the Radiant Knight Nearl would have almost been unable to withstand in the future, and penetrating the nearly ten-meter-thick snow would not have been a problem.

"Well done, hit the target, but it was a little off. Maybe it was because it went through too much snow and soldiers. It only hit the guy's shoulder. But it knocked him out. He's not going to make it." Faust breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Wang Chong's praising voice. Fortunately, he had a good grasp of the angle.

“However, using this method of converting spoken commands to fire is still inaccurate and inefficient. Ines and I are on our way. Once we meet up, you can fire wherever we point,” Wang Chong said.

"Yes," Faust quickly replied.

……

At the river, Talulah gripped the oar, silently calculating the time, waiting to reach the shore as soon as the forest ahead came to an end.

"Huh? What's that noise?" Suddenly, Talulah heard a muffled sound like thunder, as if sand and stones were flying.

“It’s an avalanche… Stop!” A hoarse voice came from behind Talulah. It was Patriot’s voice. He had also heard the strange thud and, having been stationed on the northern ice plains for many years, he immediately realized that an avalanche was coming.

"Quickly dock! There's an avalanche ahead!" Talulah didn't doubt Patriot's judgment and immediately relayed the order to the rear, then used the oars to push against the riverbed and move towards the bank.

Soon, Talulah and her group reached the shore and stopped. They all went ashore and waited until the rumbling sound subsided before daring to continue their journey. Less than five minutes later, Talulah noticed the air was getting colder, and snowflakes were blowing onto her cheeks.

"As expected, an avalanche has occurred ahead... the river is very likely blocked," Talulah said with a grim expression.

"Could this be their method of intercepting us? Are they using an avalanche to cut off our retreat?" a member of the guerrilla group asked.

“I’m afraid it’s not that simple… If they think they can stop us with snow, they’re underestimating our abilities and Talulah’s capabilities.” Another guerrilla member shook his head and said.

"Let's move forward, but since the other side has made a move, we need to prepare to deal with it. Now everyone, be careful ahead... Who's there!" Suddenly, the highly alert Talulah heard the rustling of leaves on the other side of the river. She immediately drew her longsword, and the Originium Arts of Flame began to burn fiercely as she warily watched the bushes, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

"Don't do it! Don't do it! It's me! David!" Emerging from the bushes was another member of the guerrilla team, who raised his hands and shouted.

“David? What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be with the main force?” The other guerrillas, who clearly recognized their comrade, quickly asked.

“It’s not just me, there are a few more behind us, they’ll be here soon. It’s just that you’re rowing too fast, they’re still running on land, it’ll take them a while to catch up,” David said. “In short, we’re here to rescue you.”

"Rescue?" Talulah and the guerrillas were surprised when they heard this word. How did their own Reunion Movement's main force know that they would take this route and that they were here?

“I know you have a lot of questions, and I’ll explain them on the way. Right now, the most important thing is to get to the avalanche site. The avalanche we caused might not be enough to wipe out all the Ursus soldiers; they might already be fighting over there. We need to get there and support them,” David said.

"What did you say? You caused the avalanche? There are still people fighting over there?...Tsk, everyone, follow David and head forward immediately! Go support our compatriots!" In an instant, Talulah connected many things based on the information David provided. Now was not the time to dwell on how the other party had appeared here. The most important thing now was to quickly support the troops that had come to rescue her.

……

About 10 minutes later, Talulah saw the snow-white scene. To Talulah's surprise, the very edge of the snowflakes was already as tall as two people.

"Holy crap... Didn't they say the snow would only be about 2 meters high at most? But the edge is already 3 or 4 meters high, and it looks like it'll be even higher further in! How are we going to get across? It's all snow! Where did they all go?" David was clearly a little unsettled by what he saw; the snow was much thicker than expected.

“It’s alright, I’ll melt all these snowflakes. You all step back, I’m going to unleash my full power.” Talulah drew her sword, and everyone took a few steps back, creating distance between themselves and Talulah. The space around Talulah began to burn, the intense flames slowly melting the snow mound in front of her. With each step Talulah took, the snow melted a step further, turning into water and steam.

Talulah remained vigilant, as she might encounter Ursus soldiers who weren't quite dead yet, and she was always ready to draw her sword at any moment.

Suddenly, a dark figure descended from the sky and landed abruptly in front of Talulah. Highly vigilant, Talulah did not hesitate to draw her sword in this unexpected emergency.

"I mean, do you have to swing your sword at my neck like this every time we meet?"

"!! It's you!" Upon hearing the familiar voice, Talulah abruptly stopped her sword, which, by sheer coincidence, was once again at Wang Chong's neck.

"How are you? Did you miss me, Talulah?" Wang Chong said with a smile.

Chapter 49 Persuading Talulah

Talulah stared blankly at the man who had suddenly appeared, unsure of what to do. Holding the sword back wasn't an option, but removing it wasn't an option either. Fortunately, Wang Chong didn't put her in a difficult position, gently placing his hand on the still-burning sword and casually pushing it away.

“…Thank you.” On the way here, Talulah had already learned about the rescue operation from David. She knew that he had accidentally obtained Ursus’s communication device and codebook, and deciphered the intelligence released by the Fourth Army, which gave him the opportunity to rescue her and the others.

"No need to thank me. After all, you have a suitor like me, you won't die so easily." Wang Chong smiled slightly, as if he had done something insignificant. Then, he raised his hand, and black mist began to spread. He said, "Don't continue melting this snow. Some of those Ursus soldiers aren't quite dead yet. Let them be buried in the snow. Come on, I'll use the black mist to guide you through this snowfield."

The black mist gathered beneath everyone's feet, then lifted them all, including Wang Chong, into the air. Some were clearly stunned by Wang Chong's incredible skill. Wang Chong carried everyone through the snow, and only then did they see the full extent of the avalanche.

"Was this really a great feat accomplished by just a few people? Or was it just Big Bear and Yang Ge?" the guerrilla members couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm? You guys have reminded me of something... Those two are over there, almost down." After hearing the guerrillas' voices, Wang Chong remembered that there were still two guys on the mountain. He sensed the black mist surrounding them and immediately locked onto their location.

Wang Chong casually waved two streaks of black mist, sending them flying towards two small black dots on the snow mountain. He then used the mist to give some instructions to Da Xiong and Yang Ge. Before long, Da Xiong and Yang Ge were brought to Wang Chong's side by the black mist.

"Holy crap, boss, that's awesome! This is the coolest thing I've ever done in my life! If it weren't for your reminder about using natural disasters, we probably wouldn't have even thought of snow burial... Yang Ge, why are you patting me like that? You're coughing so badly, did you catch a chill on the mountain? Hey, you need to practice more." Big Bear looked excited, while Yang Ge next to him looked a bit off, coughing and patting his shoulder incessantly.

After hearing what Big Bear said, Yang Ge facepalmed. What a terrible teammate! Didn't he see the guerrillas and the captain were all watching?

"Alright, alright, I know you're the biggest hero, Big Bear. I'll definitely let you show off in front of everyone when we get back." Talulah chuckled twice and said with a smile.

"Oh... Talulah, and... and Big Daddy, you're both here." Only then did Big Bear realize that Talulah and Patriot were looking at him. For a moment, he felt a little embarrassed by what he had just said and scratched his head awkwardly.

"Alright, Big Bear, Yang, the effect of your Originium Arts is even better than I expected. I originally estimated that the thickness of the blood layer would be only three or four meters. But you guys managed to make it more than ten meters thick, which makes it easier for us to completely eliminate those Ursus soldiers. Look, we've arrived, and the others are waiting here too."

Wang Chong pointed to the location of the large tree stump below, where Ines was using Originium Arts to scout the situation under the snow, and then methodically directed Faust and W to continuously fire at the snow. In a short while, Wang Chong, along with Talulah and the others, flew to W and the others.

"Damn it! If they had this black mist platform all along, why didn't they bring it out? What was the point of me jumping around in the trees all this time?" W spat inwardly as he watched these guys soaring through the clouds in front of him.

Next, Wang Chong instructed the crossbowmen to continue firing in unison as Ines had instructed, eliminating any Ursus soldiers who might still be active in the snow. Wang Chong himself then went back to his previous position to retrieve the other crossbowmen from the guerrilla unit.

……

"Ding—Congratulations to the host for successfully using the strategy of burying three thousand Ursus soldiers in the snow, and finally annihilating those elites who might have escaped. Reward: 3000 faction reputation. Current reputation value: 4700 points."

"Your Great Snow Burial silently slaughtered 3000 soldiers, demonstrating your potential as a minor killing god. Therefore, you have gained 1000 villain points. Your current villain points are: 10200."

Hearing the two system notifications, Wang Chong couldn't help but marvel at the incredible resilience of the Ursus soldiers. He and Talulah had walked for about an hour before all those creatures in the snow had finally perished. Terran creatures were indeed far more resilient than ordinary humans.

Meanwhile, Wang Chong had led Talulah and the others to their location in the forest and found a suitable spot to rest. It was already around 2 a.m. Everyone was exhausted after a long day and needed a break. Fortunately, the Ursus patrolling the forest had been dealt with.

The 5000 soldiers chasing Talulah and the others were probably helpless against the 10-meter-thick snow, so they didn't have to worry about being caught up with them for a whole day.
