The Extra Villain: I Made a Contract With The Dragon Empress!

"Who dares cause trouble in the territory we guard, huh?"

Upon hearing that thunderous voice, everyone immediately stopped fighting, including Runard.

They looked up and saw seven armored men floating proudly.

Each of them held a weapon—a sword, bow, spear, scythe, or other.

Their eyes burned brightly, as if they were looking down on everyone on the battlefield.

Runard instantly recognized them—the Seven Celestial Generals!

"Sister finally managed to activate them!" he exclaimed loudly.

Activating the Seven Celestial Generals was no easy task. It required the fresh essence of the Tharot family lineage.

Considering that only a few pure-blooded descendants remained, including him, it was extremely difficult to do.

Even with his two nephews, Prince Altarus and Prince Dariel, it still wasn't enough.

He had offered himself, but his sister firmly refused.

She said it could interfere with his battle on the battlefield.

She also stated that she had found another way to awaken the Seven Celestial Generals.

At that time, he was skeptical and doubtful. But now, all his doubts completely vanished—his sister had actually succeeded in activating all seven of them.

Corin, Ignis, and Nereus froze when they saw the seven. Although they had never seen the Seven Celestial Generals in person, they immediately recognized who they were.

Moreover, the extraordinary aura radiating from the seven men was terrifying—similar to those who had reached the First Spirit Core level.

"This is really dangerous," Nereus muttered cautiously.

They had already anticipated the arrival of the Seven Celestial Generals. After all, news that the queen had approved their use had reached them a few days ago.

What they didn't expect was that the seven were this powerful.

Their auras surpassed his and the other two elemental generals.

"Nereus, should we call His Majesty?" Corin asked in a heavy voice.

"Call His Majesty?" Nereus shook his head. "No, not yet. We need to exhaust every option to defeat them. If we lose, His Majesty will step in."

Corin winced. "But we'll definitely lose, won't we? Can't you feel how strong they are?"

One of them alone was enough to give him goosebumps—let alone all seven.

So he was one hundred percent sure they would lose badly.

"Don't you understand what I mean?" Nereus' gaze turned cold. "If we just give up, His Majesty will label us incompetent. Do you want to lose your position after the war?"

Corin froze for a moment before shaking his head.

"No, I don't want that," he replied firmly.

His position as one of the three elemental generals gave him many benefits and privileges that others didn't have.

There was no way he would give that up, even if his life was on the line.

"Good. Since you understand, let's fight them. Even if we die in the end, we'll be remembered as heroes," Nereus said indifferently.

He opened his right palm, and a blue bow appeared.

A powerful aura then exploded from his body, shooting into the sky and blasting everything around him away.

Corin did the same. A brown axe appeared in his left hand, followed by a terrifying burst of brown aura.

The Seven Celestial Generals were immediately drawn to the two auras.

"Let me handle the one with the blue aura," one of them said.

Without waiting for a reply from the others, he vanished from sight.

"In that case, I'll take the one with the brown aura! I haven't fought in a long time, and my stiff body needs a warm-up," another said as he followed.

But the other five quickly blocked him.

"No, don't! Let me!"

"What are you talking about? He's mine! I'll crush him!"

A commotion broke out, and they started arguing with each other.

The general in the middle quickly stopped them.

"Enough!" he shouted.

All of them fell silent at once.

"Let me decide," he continued calmly. "You and you will fight that one."

He pointed at the two generals on the left.

The two were so happy they couldn't hold back their laughter. The others were reluctant, but they couldn't complain.

After all, the general in the middle was their leader.

"Execute immediately!"

"Yeah!" the two chosen generals replied enthusiastically.

Without another word, they shot down toward Corin.

"And you three," the general said indifferently. "We will finish off the enemy soldiers. Protect our homeland!"

"Protect our homeland!" the three shouted loudly.

Whoosh!

They charged into the enemy ranks and cut them down without mercy.

The soldiers of the Kingdom of Avernia were confused by the sudden appearance of the three generals in red armor.

But one of them quickly shouted, "They're the Seven Celestial Generals! Hahaha! We win!"

Everyone was stunned. The Seven Celestial Generals were legendary—known as the true protectors of the Kingdom of Avernia.

To their surprise, the palace had actually sent them to support this battle.

In an instant, their morale—previously crushed by the enemy's superior numbers—began to soar again.

They raised their weapons and charged at the enemy with explosive enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, the forces of the Aldoria Kingdom fell into a dire situation.

They initially held the advantage. But the arrival of the three celestial generals, who slaughtered them without hesitation, shattered their morale.

Combined with the renewed fighting spirit of the Avernia soldiers, they were completely overwhelmed.

Inevitably, they were pushed into a defensive stance, though they knew it was useless.

Against such absolute power, they were nothing more than insignificant ants.

"Oh? Are those the Seven Celestial Generals? What an extraordinary aura," Gabriel muttered with a hint of surprise.

He had read records about these artifacts. It was said they were created by the founder of the Avernia Kingdom using ancient techniques long lost to time.

To be honest, one of his goals in attacking the kingdom was to obtain these artifacts. They were incredibly powerful and extremely valuable.

If he remembered correctly, their level was already at the Legendary tier—perhaps even the Myth tier.

Once acquired, they would greatly benefit the Holy Kingdom of Aldoria.

However, now that the palace had dared to deploy them, one of his goals could no longer be achieved.

"Well, it doesn't matter." Gabriel chuckled softly. "In the end, they'll fall into my hands once we conquer the Kingdom of Avernia."

He stepped forward, and his body slowly rose into the air.

The next moment, he vanished in a deafening supersonic blast.

The king, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally decided to join the battle at the front.
