My Villains Episode 118
31. Vision Hunter(!)
After deciding to go a little further into Mt. Graduil, we restocked some supplies such as torches and food. Because I was planning on sleeping on the street if I had to. Since it was summer, I was glad that I didn’t need to bring a separate blanket or anything.
After leaving the gate, I took the northern road and climbed the foot of the mountain.
Graduil Mountain was a gently curved mountain. Unlike other nearby stems, there were few bushes.
Is that why? The entrance to the pass to the north and the high summit seemed so close that I could touch them, but no matter how much I walked, I felt like I couldn’t get any closer.
After climbing for about half a day, I was out of breath. As the sun was about to rise over her head, we decided to take a break.
Leader Amias said, looking back at his colleagues who were catching their breath.
“Mira and Boonie are in the south, Steedman and Cole are in the northwest, and Jenessa, you are in the northeast with me. Everyone, even if you take a break, don’t get too carried away.”
Once the order was over, the mercenaries dispersed. Then, he sat down in a place with a clear view and looked out in all directions.
It looked so shabby when I first saw it, but Amias’s gang wasn’t that much of a group of kids.
The eldest leader, Amias, and the next archer, Kol, are said to have experience participating in war.
Maybe that’s why, after they put their heads together and talked about something, things seemed to get better.
Well, it seems like they’re doing it to prove their usefulness, but it didn’t feel particularly unpleasant. On the contrary, I felt like the youthful spirit of improvement was being passed on to me, so I became motivated.
At that time, Ellen suddenly spoke up.
“I think it’s that peak.”
“huh? What peak?”
Ellen pointed to the highest peak in the middle of Graduil’s three peaks.
“I told you last time. “The flow of mana is strange.”
“Oh, the source is over there at the top?”
“I don’t know if it’s exactly normal, but I think it’s probably close to it.”
Hmm, that’s odd.
In Chapter 3 of the game, there was no need to climb that peak. This is because the scenario was to end the chapter by driving out Anupad’s army sitting on the hill.
I looked at the peak, lost in thought.
“But Ellen.”
” huh?”
“Didn’t you say that the reason the flow of mana became strange was because something over there was pushing the mana out?”
“It’s roughly similar. why?”
“It just looks like an ordinary mountain to me.”
“Then did you think there would be a crack in another dimension or something?”
“Not really.”
The crack in the second dimension that Ellen mentioned refers to a phenomenon that occurs as the other dimension gets closer to the present world. They said it was an extremely rare phenomenon, occurring once every 30 or 40 years.
“There is no way to know what is happening here. “You have to go up there yourself.”
“Um, do you want to do that?”
“… … “I’m curious, but I don’t think there’s any need to risk it.”
While talking like that, Freckled Mira let out a threatening sound.
“Uh, uhh! excuse me!”
The group’s gaze was focused down the mountainside.
Wait, down? Not above?
“It’s a greenskin!”
“Hey, isn’t that a bit much?”
“Everyone gather together!”
Scribe Veldin’s warning came to mind. They said that the number of monsters has decreased and their size has increased these days… … .
While the mercenaries were hurriedly taking their stances, I looked at the greenskins. The goblins seemed to be over forty, and the orcs seemed to be a little under twenty.
“Gwoa eok!”
“Quaksaka!”
Orcs and goblins were coming up the slope, shouting loudly. It was an unrelenting assault, as if it had been targeting us from the beginning.
Utequoi, who was looking down at them, smiled.
“good night. “It’s over 100 points.”
“Hehe, crazy guy.”
I laughed out loud and narrowed my eyes as I looked at the orcs.
The guy who seemed to be the leader of the group was an orc with a dark-colored face, whether it was a stain or paint. Unlike the other guys who were poorly armed, he was wearing high-quality scale armor, a shield made of metal, and carrying a sleek-looking war hammer.
‘Warrior Mordor’. In the game, he was the first pick in Chapter 3.
If it were Mordor, he would have appeared accompanied by a Caster… … . Well, there is no one that really stands out. What should I do?
Ellen, who was floating, took out her wand and said.
“I can’t do it. “First of all, we need to reduce the number of people.”
“No, wait a minute.”
“why?”
After a short hesitation, I opened my mouth.
“When I give the signal, start using magic. And, Ute Kwai.”
“Say it.”
“You protect Ellen.”
“Hmm?”
As if the words were completely unexpected, the guy’s eyes widened a little.
“Me?”
“There are too many goblins. “I have to step in and take care of it.”
I looked straight into Utequai’s pitch black eyes.
“Never, don’t hurt me.”
“… … i get it.”
When Utequai nodded, the battle began.
Archer Cole fired the first arrow. Is it because of the training I’ve had so far? The stance leading the demonstration seems more stable.
“Ki ek!”
When one goblin fell down after being hit by an arrow, the others screamed like crazy.
“Koagral-!”
“Koag thuchat!”
The greenskins were crying loudly, but Amias’s group was already standing shoulder to shoulder and strengthening their defenses. Instead of standing still, they used small rocks and valleys to block his path so that he could only attack from the front.
However, this is a mountain with not many bushes. Some goblins took a detour up a steep slope.
When our leader Amias looked at us and looked at us in confusion, I quickly shouted.
“Just look straight ahead! “I’m in charge of that!”
At the same time, he pulled out his Hrunting and rushed at the goblins.
“Ardai!”
“Uishal!”
When some people shouted loudly, those holding bows shot arrows.
Most of the arrows bounced off just by covering the face with a shield. The goblin’s crude arrows could not even make a scratch on the plate armor.
The ensuing conflict.
They are small and quick, with the top of their head reaching around my waist. If Utequai had dealt with them, they would have suffered quite a bit of damage.
However, it was no threat to me, who was equipped with heavy armor and a fast sword.
“Hmm!”
I went down the steep slope and swung my sword.
The white sword light split the three goblins and turned dark green. Every time the bloody blade swung, two or three goblins died.
Sometimes, there were those who tried to avoid the blade by quickly ducking or leaning back, but the blade that followed them persistently ended up cutting off their throats.
“Yaksa hum!”
“shahaa!”
Because ten of their colleagues were slaughtered in an instant, the goblins’ spirit was broken. Without hesitation, I opened my hand on the shield.
Kwakagak!
Dark green blood burst from the steep slope and attacked the goblins. Six or seven of them collapsed, their whole bodies in tatters.
“Tovi, tovi!”
“Zork-sha!”
While the goblins were confused, the orcs snorted and attacked.
“Koagral-!”
“Quaksaka!”
Just before the orcs rushed in with increased momentum,
“Va’arka, ethuron, zaich!,”
A dwarf orc hiding among his kin was whispering in a strange voice. When I saw the orange glow emanating from its eyes, I immediately shouted.
“Ellen! “Aim for that shaman!”
Before I could finish yelling, a frost pick was fired from behind.
As Ellen’s level increased, the frost pick became longer and sharper.
The vicious projectile crashed down the mountainside and pierced ‘Fangkog the Mad’ in one breath.
“Kergeuk,”
Because both blood and air leaked from the pierced neck, Fangkog was unable to recite the spell.
“Fangkog!”
“Koag! Koag tha tzatguwi!”
The angry orcs rushed forward, screaming.
The remaining Marie rushed towards the Amias gang, and the rest towards me.
And, at the head of those charging at me was the warrior Mordor.
“Khg, khuash!”
The black face and bloody white tusks are impressive. The guy suddenly rushed at me with his shield in front of him.
“Whoop,”
I raised my spirits. And then, he lunged at Mordor.
Because all the goblins died or fled, Ellen was able to enjoy some freedom. She rose about three meters from the ground and was able to see down the mountainside.
“Koag, shahaa!”
The heavily armed Orc, Mordor, clashed with Phoenix.
Phoenix, who had become stronger in the past few days, did not back down an inch even as he clashed with the large Orc.
No, it wasn’t that he couldn’t back down, he had the upper hand.
Poynix easily deflected Mordor’s hammer and pierced the neck of the orc that was attacking him from behind.
“Zork, Quaksaka!”
Five orcs surrounded us on all sides and charged at us with a ferocious force.
Then, Phoenix let out a short groan and moved like a possessed person.
He twisted his shoulder to seize the ax with his pauldron, swung his shield to deflect the pulse and hammer, dodged the iron club with snake-like steps, then cut the spear pole with a dark green bloody blade and stabbed out its owner’s eyes.
The loophole-filled prosecutors we saw a few months ago were no longer there. The current Phoenix was showing off skills worthy of being considered a knight.
Even to Ellen, who was unfamiliar with martial arts, Poynix did not seem very dangerous. Ellen suppressed her instincts and turned the wand in a different direction.
Bang, bang!
Where Ellen looked, angry orcs were pounding on the shield wall.
“Ugh! Hang in there!”
“Holy shit, your hands.”
The three vanguard seemed anxious to hold on. The mercenaries behind him were busy keeping in check those who were trying to cling to the shield wall.
‘It’s a lot better.’
Ellen thought so and memorized the spell.
“Influ-unt, archuire ensa—ra (Answer, the archer calls).”
It was a spell that I had now become so familiar with that it made me feel dizzy. Two flaming arrows appeared at the same time and were fired straight away.
joy!
As if a thunderbolt of fire fell from the sky, two lines of fire struck.
“Kuwaa eon!”
The orcs, whose upper bodies were covered in flames, screamed. The other orcs became even more frantic and swung their weapons.
“Ugh, ugh!”
“Holy shit, your hands are strong,”
Mira and Steedman, who were holding shields, were pushed back by the frenzied orcs and fell backwards.
The moment the orcs were about to attack the mercenaries,
“die!”
bang!
An orc hit by a huge dolme rolled down the slope like a ball.
The barbarian berserker screamed and swung his sword, and Ellen continued to shoot flaming arrows.
“Shaha! ToviC run away)!”
When the orcs finally backed off, Ellen turned her gaze towards Phoenix.
The other orcs were already dead and lying around, and the leader was dealing with Poynix alone.
Sigh!
The blade of Phoenix’s shield struck the black nose. Mordor withstood the impact with his back and swung the war hammer with all his might.
Boom!
Threatening porosity.
It seemed like he would back down, but Phoenix swung his sword at him. With that, he twisted his upper body to shed his hammer through his armor.
In a normal case, the hammer would have struck the thick shoulder armor at an angle, causing no impact.
However, at the moment of impact, the war hammer shouts ‘Ugh!’ It lights up with a sound and boom!
The black pauldrons were dented.
“Keueuuuuu!”
In response to the unexpected shock, Phoenics gritted his teeth and swung Hrunting.
Wow!
Modor’s head, which had a triumphant expression on his face, was split in two.
