The Third-Rate Academy Villain Who Refuses to Become a Beggar

In the prophecy that Gerhard had seen.

Aint Armian, his body battered and bleeding from numerous wounds inflicted by the skilled assassins, desperately flees toward the center of the isolated island. His ragged breathing and unsteady gait betray the severity of his injuries as he seeks refuge from the two massive sea serpents pursuing him relentlessly across the unfamiliar terrain. The pain from his wounds shoots through his body with every hurried step, yet the primal instinct for survival drives him forward.

The monstrous creatures, with their gleaming scales reflecting the sunlight and jaws powerful enough to crush boulders, behave in a manner completely contrary to their natural instincts. Under normal circumstances, these ancient predators of the deep would never venture far from the shoreline, preferring to remain within the safety of their aquatic domain. However, something unnatural compels them inland—the dark, corrupting influence of the evil ones’ power reaches out like invisible tendrils, forcing the serpents to pursue their prey with single-minded determination across terrain that their massive bodies were never designed to traverse.

In the moment of crisis, Aint finds the legacy hidden by the first emperor and manages to defeat them.

So there was no need for Gerhard to step forward and deal with the sea serpents.

’Was it this way?’

The place mentioned in the prophecy book was between two protruding peaks. Gerhard deliberately set his direction and fled.

With the intention of feeding the legacy to Aint under the guise of coincidence.

"Is this really okay!"

As trees broke and the earth split with a thunderous noise, Luina bit her lip after checking behind them.

The two massive sea serpents were leaving huge trails as they followed like mad bulls.

The only fortunate thing was that these creatures, not accustomed to land, were somewhat slow despite their size.
