The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick

A violent explosion of smoke and dust erupted inside the Arcane Hall.

The strong vibrations echoed like the beating of a giant drum, with waves of pressurized air surging outward.

Two figures - one with golden hair and one with silver - gracefully leaped out from the billowing smoke.

It was Erica and Aurelianne.

Erica was hastily gathering magic, with streams of multi-colored magical power flowing from her body and coiling around her like serpentine ribbons.

[Second-tier Magic: Chaos Barrier]

The multi-colored magical power had completely intertwined, gradually slipping beyond Erica's control.

Several streams of magic power swirled continuously in the air, forming a chaotic multi-colored barrier before her.

A silver figure suddenly emerged from the smoke - Gwen, wielding a gleaming silver sword.

A crack of displaced air burst beneath her feet, propelling her high into the air.

She raised her sword and brought it down with crushing force towards Erica.

Bang!

The barrier shattered instantly under the sword's heavy impact, sending chaotic fragments and multi-colored energy scattering in all directions.

Erica was stunned to see her barrier destroyed by just a single strike from Gwen.

Feeling the pressure from the flying fragments and air currents, her mind suddenly became crystal clear, as if lightning had run down her spine.

Aurelianne also drew her sword from her waist, thrusting it forward to protect Erica.

Gwen's heavy blade clashed with Aurelianne's silver sword, but they remained locked for only seconds.

Waves of energy rippled through the surrounding space from their collision.

The force of their clash drove them apart.

Erica and Aurelianne both stumbled back several paces.

In contrast, Gwen stood unmoved where the two had just been, her face cold as ice.

She showed no sign of being affected by their counterattack.

Sweat beading on her forehead from exertion, Aurelianne turned to Erica and demanded:

"What did you do?! Why is Teacher Gwen so angry!"

This wasn't normal - attacking without any explanation.

Erica was also panting heavily, showing clear signs of fatigue.

This was far more exhausting than her usual training in the Northern Territories.

Erica was equally confused - she had only said those things to annoy Aurelianne.

She never imagined those words would reach Knight Gwen's ears.

But even if they had, this reaction seemed excessive...

In Erica's experience, while Gwen wasn't very talkative, spending time with her revealed she was actually quite gentle.

But now, Gwen's ice-cold gaze made her seem like a completely different person.

Erica couldn't help but think of Henie's strange behavior today.

Why had everyone suddenly changed?

At this point, something occurred to Erica and she glanced back at Aurelianne.

Wait - it made sense that she was getting beaten up for running her mouth, but why was Aurelianne caught in this too?

Aurelianne understood Erica's meaning, and confusion bubbled up in her mind as well.

How had she ended up suffering this collateral damage?

Meanwhile, Gwen stood motionless, as if waiting for the two to recover, taking no further action.

Her expression remained frigid, her eyes seeming to shoot icy arrows that could pierce through to their very marrow.

She slowly raised her sword, pointing it at the two:

"Continue."

"Let me keep testing if you're qualified."

Qualified?

Aurelianne and Erica both froze for a moment, but in the next second, they had no time to think.

Gwen stomped down hard, making the surrounding air seem to frost over and become extremely viscous.

A figure like flying snow tore a vacuum rift through the air, charging forward with a trail of dazzling afterimages.

Warning bells rang in Erica and Aurelianne's minds as they both moved to defend.

Erica gripped her hands tight, feeling magic power surge within. A complex formation array quickly took shape in the air under her control.

Aurelianne committed fully, pointing her sword forward as magical power crawled up the blade while her other hand began drawing spell runes in the air.

Meanwhile, countless students crowded around the entrance of the Arcane Hall, spilling out to watch the three-way battle.

Gazing at Gwen from afar, they couldn't help but show their amazement:

"They say that's Professor Viktor's fiancée, Knight Gwen."

"She's both elegant and powerful... her swordsmanship and her appearance."

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Their eyes were filled with admiration as Gwen became the center of attention.

Her stern face held delicate features, her cold demeanor like a banner flying in the winter wind, giving off an inexplicable air of authority to all observers.

Even in her coldness, she exuded an indescribable charm.

Even the female students were captivated.

At this point, someone among the students spoke up:

"Are Erica and Her Highness struggling to keep up? Hiss, they won't be in any danger, right?"

The others turned to look at the speaker as if they were looking at an idiot.

How could that be possible?

After all, Erica was the Duke's daughter, and Aurelianne was even more significant.

She was the Princess, the Emperor's daughter!

How could they possibly be in danger? Would Gwen really harbor killing intent?

Though they were also confused about why Knight Gwen had attacked the two without a word.

But then they remembered that Aurelianne called Gwen "teacher."

Suddenly everything made sense.

Professor Viktor was the Princess's magic teacher, while Knight Gwen was her swordsmanship instructor.

So it was obvious that Knight Gwen was here to train the two of them.

The students outside crowded together, trying to catch every detail of Gwen "training" the two inside the Arcane Hall, afraid to miss anything.

After all, they were all mages and rarely saw knights in combat.

This was far more exciting than regular classes.

But what really put their minds at ease wasn't Aurelianne and Erica's status.

Because there was an even more powerful person presiding over everything.

Before the students stood a robust white-haired old man.

He stood with his arms crossed, watching the three battle nearby.

Although Erica and Aurelianne were indeed being pushed back by Gwen,

Vladimir felt admiration.

The two girls' abilities were undoubtedly exceptional.

While Erica had trained with the Mage Knights for a time, she leaned more towards elemental magic.

Aurelianne was more versatile, perhaps due to learning swordsmanship from Gwen, so she spent more time fighting with a sword.

Similar to a Mage Knight, but not quite the same.

Because Mage Knights relied on both magical items and physical combat to face enemies.

So Mage Knights actually didn't have much magical power.

But Aurelianne was different - not only did her magical power reach the level of a normal mage, but her close combat skills were also excellent.

Moreover, she was the only one in the academy who used this combined style of swordsmanship and magic.

Who knows how she was taught this way.

Vladimir watched their battle with great interest.

Looking at Gwen, he also felt admiration.

Compared to when she was in the Northern Territories, Gwen seemed to have grown even stronger.

In her battle with Erica and Aurelianne, she used no fancy techniques, relying only on skill and raw power to put significant pressure on the two.

Her techniques flowed smoothly like winter waters - fluid yet sharp.

This was why Vladimir hadn't stepped in to stop the fight when he saw Gwen appear and engage with Aurelianne and Erica.

Because there was no need.

As a veteran of countless battles, Vladimir could clearly tell the difference between attacks with and without killing intent.

Gwen's exchanges with the two carried more of a guiding quality.

As if trying to teach them something.

Just enough force to make the point.

Moreover, Vladimir's gaze fixed on the other sword at Gwen's waist.

That greatsword seemed completely consumed by flames, emanating an extremely violent aura from within its scabbard, like a fierce fire hidden within ice, yet to be unleashed.

Vladimir could sense from afar that that sword was far from ordinary.

If Gwen used her full power, the two young ladies definitely wouldn't be able to handle it.

So Vladimir didn't interfere.

Magical power surged in Erica's hands again as several burning starlight arrows shot straight from her hands towards Gwen.

These arrows dispersed their form in flight, leaving only faintly floating sharp magical power continuing forward.

[Second-tier Magic: Starlight Arrows]

Faced with the dense barrage of invisible arrows, Gwen remained calm and collected.

She focused her mind, sensing the arrows seemingly becoming one with the air currents.

But under Gwen's gaze, it was as if coldness turned into blades cutting through the air before her, revealing the white arrows' forms.

Gwen lowered her body slightly, weaving through the rain of arrows before appearing in front of Erica.

Aurelianne rushed in front of Erica, her magic-enhanced blade slashing towards Gwen.

Gwen shifted her body slightly, raising her elbow for a light tap - the glowing magical blade didn't even have a chance to clash with Gwen's sword before it left Aurelianne's grasp.

[Second-tier Magic: Phantom Fire Rope]

Aurelianne countered by casting a spell, sending crimson rotating ropes flying from the formation in her hand to bind Gwen tightly.

Gwen's expression remained unchanged as her body trembled slightly, instantly releasing pressure from within that snapped the crimson ropes. She stepped on them, twisting hard until they dissipated.

She lunged forward lightly, and before Aurelianne and Erica could react, they were knocked back dozens of feet.

By now both were gradually running out of stamina.

But Gwen remained completely at ease.

Gwen stood straight, withdrawing her hand as she looked at Aurelianne and Erica before her:

"It seems your qualifications are still insufficient."

"Let me give you a simple lesson."

Then she raised her blade overhead again, a cold light flashing in her eyes:

"Foolish..."

"Cats stealing fish."

An intense killing intent exploded outward, with a burning sensation like flames entering Vladimir's nostrils.

He sensed something was wrong and his eyes widened.

But Gwen had already raised her sword, shattering the ground beneath her feet.

Along with the scattered stone fragments, she instantly transformed into a hazy phantom, charging at the two.

Whoosh—!

Suddenly...

Black feathers inexplicably emerged from the air, falling like black snow.

They covered Viktor's form as he steadily appeared before Gwen, a wooden vine wrapping around his hand to form a patterned wooden sword.

Bang!

The dull impact mixed with metallic vibrations as Gwen and Viktor's weapon-holding hands shook from the violent collision.

But neither of their arms moved an inch.

Seeing this, the students crowded at the door were dumbfounded.

Vladimir also leaned forward with widened eyes.

Before he could even be surprised, he couldn't look away.

To be honest, he had never seen Viktor fight in person before.

And watching him wield a sword to unhesitatingly block Gwen's attack,

He seemed to suddenly understand who had taught the Princess her current fighting style.

Gwen's voice was as cold as winter icicles:

"You finally came."

Viktor looked at Gwen with an equally expressionless face:

"That's enough, Gwen."

In this moment, the Gwen before him gave him a deeply familiar feeling.

Like ice buried miles deep in the extreme north,

Just through her gaze, he could feel the abnormal cold radiating from her entire body that pierced straight through one's meridians.

Like the Gwen he had always faced,

When he was still a player.

Just like now, completely devoid of emotion.

When Gwen was in this state, once she decided on something, nothing could change her mind even slightly.

She would not listen to anyone's persuasion.

Gwen remained cold as she raised her blade and stepped back.

Her body gradually lowered, sword held tight to her chest as she charged at Viktor with all her might.

The surrounding air seemed to completely rupture, leaving only whistling roars.

Like a lion fighting to the death.

Viktor knew that if he forcefully resisted now, Gwen would definitely be injured.

So he had already set up a magic spell.

If attacked, it would automatically deflect the force.

But by then, Gwen had already closed in before Viktor with her sword.

Normally at this point, Viktor's magic would trigger and immediately repel Gwen.

However...

Viktor was stunned.

Had the magic failed?

Or rather, had Gwen not intended to...

At this moment, there was a "clang" as that silver-white sword fell to the ground.

After bouncing a few times, it went still.

Countless eyes were drawn to that sword, but when they blinked and looked back, they saw Gwen.

At some point, she had pressed herself into Viktor's embrace.

Her arms wrapped around his neck.

And she kissed him.

In this moment, countless people's eyes widened.

Aurelianne and Erica panted heavily, eyes wide with shock - whether from exhaustion or the scene before them was unclear.

The world seemed to fall silent for a moment.

After a long while, the two tightly pressed pairs of lips gradually parted.

Gwen looked at Viktor, whose expression had clearly changed, yet her own remained cold.

Like frost, sharp with cold light.

She held Viktor's face in both hands, her ice-cold gaze staring straight into his eyes.

Her clear, cold voice gradually rang out across the entire academy:

"You are mine."

"I won't give you to anyone."
