The Extra Prince Sets Out To Conquer The World

I heard a voice calling for me urgently from below.

“Prince!!”

No, Precia. No matter how urgent, I told you to call me young master.

Faster than that thought, I activated Videl’s armor and protected myself with the spirits’ power.

The kraken’s corpse that stood up again wrapped its tentacles around me before I could escape.

Crunch-!

“Guh! Good thing I took this armor from the royal treasure vault.”

If it weren’t for the secret weapon left by Videl, the greatest knight in the kingdom’s history, I would have been crushed to death by the tentacles.

I didn’t steal it in anticipation of this situation, but as long as I’m alive, it’s fine.

The tentacle gripping me pressed against my abdomen, piercing through the power of the four spirits and Videl’s armor.

“Urgh! You fishy bastard, pressing like that will make me piss. You rotten, no, rotted bastard.”

Even at my joke, the kraken didn’t react.

No, it’s not just a lack of reaction.

The kraken’s chest was still split open, exposing its heart and ribs.

No answer, just like an ordinary corpse.

“Ugh, the smell.”

The kraken’s corpse, decayed for nearly 50 years, reeked of a terrible stench.

If I hadn’t trained with Divet’s nutritional supplements, I would have vomited immediately.

Hmm, come to think of it, this is better than Divet’s supplements?

Then, as the kraken opened its mouth, I saw its guts swelling up.

I shouted urgently.

“Navi! Guh!”

As Navi’s power protecting me vanished, the pressure from the tentacle gripping me intensified.

-Aaaaaah~!

But thanks to that, it could protect me and my companions from the kraken’s sonic attack.

I don’t know about the others, but it’s a force Gilbert and Agni couldn’t have blocked.

For a rotted body, its lungs and vocal cords are intact.

“Ugh, mana is slowly depleting. Precia! Cut this tentacle! Jade! Shoot a big spell and drive this fishy thing out!”

At my instruction, Precia leaped high and saved me by cutting the tentacle holding me with a sword beam.

And Jade, confirming I was protecting our companions, focused solely on attack magic and fired a spell.

“Visitor who broke through the cold gaze, cry out the frost-laden shout in that gaze! Frost Storm!”

A swirling blizzard froze the kraken’s corpse and crashed into the high cave ceiling.

Crack-! Boom-!

The cave collapsed and blew the kraken’s corpse onto the island.

It looked like it was flying to a geyser.

“Prince! Are you alright!”

At Precia’s worry, I smiled and flicked her forehead.

“I told you to call me young master. The sudden mana consumption was high, but my body is fine.”

As expected of Videl’s armor. Not a single scratch even after touching the tentacle of a legendary monster.

“Jade! …Ah, you’re doing well on your own.”

Even without my instruction, Jade chased the kraken’s corpse through the hole in the ceiling.

“Silua, protect Mr. Agni.”

“Got it! I’ll protect the old fisherman!”

Silua saluted vigorously while summoning her dolls.

“Ms. Aili.”

At my call, Aili nodded and said to her lover.

“Don’t worry about me and stay safe.”

“Okay. I’m used to waiting.”

At the joke with a punchline, the mermaid and old fisherman snickered.

“Hey, it’s not like I only waited, you know?”

“Well, that’s true…”

As they seemed like they would banter endlessly, I shouted irritably.

“Save the jokes for later! Let’s deal with that monster first!”

“Oops, sorry!”

Aili also flew into the sky, chasing after the kraken’s corpse.

“Ahem… Sorry for interruptting a serious situation.”

At Agni’s apology, I chuckled.

“It’s fine. Don’t get hurt trying to intervene and carefully stay with Silua. You finally achieved your wish, so you should live long.”

“Indeed.”

If it’s Silua, protecting one old man shouldn’t be too hard.

Silua said not to worry and began drawing a barrier around with an engraving pen.

No, is she making a nuclear bomb shelter? Why is the barrier so huge?

“Silua, do it moderately. Precia, Gilbert, let’s go!”

Leading the two guard knights up the stairs, I saw the faint shadow of a boat on the darkened sea.

“Eunha.”

At my call, Eunha illuminated the surroundings like broad daylight.

As the world brightened, I realized the boat shadow was a sizable fishing boat.

And a group was disembarking from the boat.

“Submit! Defiled one!”

The giant man leading the way, holding up a black orb and shouting, had a large scar crossing his face diagonally.

And following him were a small-statured man, a cat-eared demi-human, an aged chicken beastman, a haggard middle-aged man…

This combination seems familiar. If I feel this way, it must have appeared in the novel.

They clearly look like villains, and if they were major villains, I would have remembered right away.

Since I can’t recall immediately, they must be extras.

“Who are they?”

I opened Aquila’s grimoire and examined the information I had previously recorded.

Arisa’s subordinates? No.

Subordinates of the lovers, the Jeffreys? There’s a similar group, but…

“Nope, nope, nope…”

While I was searching for information, the kraken began rampaging, swinging its tentacles and hitting everything.

“Young master! Dodge!”

Precia and Gilbert cut the tentacles flying at us with their mana-clad swords.

At least the tentacles didn’t regenerate even though it was dead.

Well, if it were alive, Gilbert’s incomplete sword energy would only scratch it, not cut it so cleanly.

“How dare you interrupt the purification ritual here! Atone for that sin with death!”

Aili angrily created countless water spears in the air like when we first arrived on the island and attacked the enemies.

“Chepel! Ducks! Block it!”

At the scarred man’s shout, the cat-eared girl and aged chicken beastman stepped forward and blocked the raining water spears.

“Aah! My mana!”

“Ugh! I can’t hold out for long!”

The cat-ears properly deployed a magic barrier to block, while the chicken beastman used mana-infused wing flaps to deflect the spears’ trajectory.

“Submit! Defiled one! In the name of the moon, come from beyond death! Submit! Defiled one! Submit!”

As the scarred man kept infusing mana into the black orb and repeating the command, the kraken began to stagger.

Then it wrapped them with its huge tentacles, blocking Aili’s attack.

“Ah! Cat-eared Chepel! Sick chicken Ducks! Tiny Gig! Right, found it! Scar Face Family! …Why are they here?”

Why is the boss of a gang that controls the underworld of the empire’s northeast, one of Arcana’s sub-organizations, here ‘now’?

In the novel, the trouble on this island happens about 2 years and 7 months later. But why now?

“Ah! Could it be!”

At the same time as my realization, the scarred man, Malcrem, infused mana into the black orb.

“I don’t know why there are rabble besides the mermaid here, but we can just kill them all! Kill them!”

That black orb in his hand was definitely made by ‘Arcana 18, Moon’ and the previous generation ‘Arcana 13, Death’ combining their powers, a magic tool that turns corpses into undead.

More precisely, it’s an item that turns corpses with power exceeding mages into undead and enslaves them.

It has a time limit, is disposable, and can no longer be made now that ‘Death’ is dead, so it’s not used unless necessary, but he picked it up nicely.

“Kill! I said kill! Kill!”

The scarred man had to shout the command several times while pouring mana for the kraken’s corpse to start moving as ordered.

“Aha, it was defective.”

Of course.

That stingy old hag wouldn’t just give such a thing to someone who’s not even a Numbers.

Nevertheless, the orb’s power was real.

-Aaaaaah~!

The kraken’s corpse moved to kill us according to the command.

The main target was Aili who killed the kraken, but it kept swinging tentacles towards me too, so Precia and Gilbert protected me.

“Jade, Precia! Help Ms. Aili deal with the kraken!”

At my instruction, Jade froze the kraken’s corpse with Frost Storm at full power and asked.

“Yuan! Will you be okay? That black orb seems to be the cause, wouldn’t it be better to deal with the wielder first?”

Despite saying that, he was giving his all to stop the rampaging kraken.

Undead have lower physical abilities compared to when alive, but their mana is amplified.

That kraken would be a monster not much weaker than when it was alive.

“Gilbert and I can handle those guys.”

“Young master.”

At Precia’s worry, I took out three Zillian series and a mana stone pouch from my dimensional storage and patted her shoulder.

“It’s fine. I’ll just support and the dolls and Gilbert will handle it.”

The mana stones are a waste, but if we defeat those guys and loot their pockets, we can replenish enough.

At my answer, Gilbert proudly raised his sword.

“Just trust me!”

At Gilbert’s words, Precia glanced at him with a distrustful look and resolutely said.

“I’ll deal with it as quickly as possible and return.”

Then she ran towards the kraken’s rampaging corpse while cutting tentacles.

Gilbert made a hurt expression at her gaze.

Poor Gilbert, I should roll him more so he doesn’t get ignored.

“What is this?! The information department clearly said there was nothing to worry about besides the mermaid!”

The scarred man, Malcram, was flustered.

If the calculation was that Aili was alone, that defective magic tool was more than enough preparation.

With an irritated expression, the scarred man glared at me.

“Quickly deal with them and help the kraken!”

It wasn’t a bad judgment, as dispersing manpower could lead to being backstabbed.

Of course, if he were wise, he should have run away immediately when things went awry.

“Gilbert, only kill that murderous bastard with a chipped washbowl. I’ll block the rest.”

“Understood.”

“Don’t let your guard down. Despite his looks, he’s a skilled swordsman, a dismissed knight.”

At my words, Gilbert nodded tensely.

Malcram, a former knight who committed crimes and was chased out, was once a promising candidate to become the captain of a large territory’s knights before being expelled.

It was his misfortune to be held back by alcoholic parents and end up turning to crime.

However, seeing what he did after being chased out, I don’t particularly sympathize with him.

As Gilbert ran towards the enemy leader, the enemies tried to kill Gilbert.

“Zillian #34! #35! Clear a path!”

I shot lightning arrows by drawing mana from mana stones and covered Gilbert.

As the Zillian series swung their large swords and made a path, Gilbert reached Malcram.

Immediately upon reaching the enemy leader, he swung his sword clad in sword qi and shouted.

“Villain who commits injustice! I shall slay you!”

Gilbert must have read too many heroic novels. It’s embarrassing just hearing it.

“You little brat!”

As Gilbert tried to match him, Malcram angrily clashed swords with Gilbert.

Malcram’s colleagues tried to rush at Gilbert to fight together, but were blocked by the Zillian series and my spirit magic barrage.

“I’m your opponent. Don’t interfere with the kid training with a good teaching aid for once and come at me, you idiots.”

As I snapped my fingers arrogantly, the enemies were flustered.

“Are you saying you alone can face all of us?”

When the small-statured man, Gig, asked in dismay, I nodded as if it were obvious.

Then, I chanted a spell more efficient and magnificent than any grand magic.

“Cat-eared Chepel! Did you know the one who killed your father is the sick chicken Ducks right next to you!”

Now, kill each other!
