My Villains Episode 137
36. Baroness’s Request (1)
We escaped the crack safely.
Hmm, is it a bit strange to say it this way? There is one person who died, but they say ‘safely’.
Still, it was truly a miracle that everyone else survived.
I almost died too. Just before I got through the crack, the ground beneath my feet collapsed.
Atalanta, who had recovered a little of her mental strength, stretched out a purple spear, and if Utequai had not caught it, Atalanta and I would have been caught up in the collapse of the rift and turned into dust.
Anyway, the indigo world that had given rise to strange and terrible experiences collapsed like that.
Unlike the noisy crack, the current world was extremely peaceful. The mine was as dark as before, so I couldn’t even tell if it was day or night.
We went outside the mine and faced dawn. A day and a half had passed since the crack had been closed.
” first.”
Putting on the rag that Amias gave me, I looked back at the party.
“It would be impossible to move it any further, so I need to do some maintenance.”
As soon as I said that, a temporary camp was set up. The mercenaries scattered around the mine entrance took a break and tended to each other’s wounds.
Ellen, who fainted immediately after I stripped, was still soundly asleep.
“… … “It’s probably mana poisoning.”
“Mana addiction, huh?”
Wizard Siren nodded and answered.
“This is a symptom that appears when you overuse mana. Ellen has filled her mana several times with crystal balls and potions, so she must be in quite a serious condition.”
“Uhm. “Then what should I do?”
“There’s nothing I can do about it… … Siren glanced at Ellen and continued her words.
“Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like it’s going to cost you your life, so if you don’t use mana and take a rest, you’ll be fine. Well, maybe.”
“Are you saying I can’t use spells?”
“To be precise, we need to reduce mana fluctuations to a minimum. Considering Ellen’s level of mana, we won’t be able to stop mana from recovering, so we should at least prevent it from being consumed.”
“hmm. All right.”
“ah. Also, it is best to stay away from magic tools as much as possible. “I will continue to stimulate mana.”
When Siren returned to his companions, I retrieved the magic tools that Ellen had, namely the wand, feather decoration, and robe. Instead, she wrapped him in the thick cloak she had brought for camping.
While gently stroking Ellen’s sleeping hair, Utequoi suddenly opened his mouth.
“Sweetheart, you lost a lot of blood. “When it wakes up, you have to feed it meat.”
“… … “You lost a lot of blood?”
Utequai, who was sitting on a nearby rock, nodded as he bandaged his stomach.
“Sweetheart, I thought you needed blood to save your life. “That’s why I shed blood.”
“… … “Ellen.”
“I don’t know how my mother will look at me. But Phoenix, it was the right decision for you.”
Utequwai tore off the end of the bandage with his teeth. So he roughly finished the job and lay down on his back.
“So, don’t be distressed.”
“… … “Are you suffering?”
“Eating the blood and heart of the enemy is an honorable thing. “Eating a friend’s blood and heart is the work of a monster.”
Ute Kwai continued speaking while putting his arms around his arms.
“You are not a monster. Not yet.”
As I remained silent, Utequai quickly fell asleep.
… … It’s the work of a monster. What will Utequwai say if he finds out that I gorged on Ellen’s blood?
He shook his head and stabbed Ellen in the forearm. Next, I cut the palm of my hand and pressed the bleeding part of her hand against each other.
His control over blood has become stronger than before. Thanks to this, he was able to give Ellen a sufficient amount of blood without wasting a single drop.
Ellen’s pale face blushed. Her trembling subsided and her lips bloomed pink.
After stopping the bleeding, I quietly look down at Ellen, and suddenly she looks unfamiliar.
Golden hair and a small face. Long, criss-crossing eyelashes, a straight nose, and plump lips. Cute ears, white neck, slender shoulders, slim waist… … .
Even though I opened it two or three times with a strange feeling, Ellen was still the same.
Yes, it’s definitely the same… … .
«Ugh W
I guess I’m crazy.
You fucking trolls. It’s clear that drinking their blood is causing me to develop strange thoughts.
However, in the back of my mind, I hear another voice.
… … why? What’s the problem? What is crazy and what is a strange idea?
“Oh, fuck.”
I was swearing because my mind felt like it was going to hell, but the people who were approaching me started to tremble.
“… … Mummy? Boonie?”
The ones who approached hesitantly were Mira with freckles and Buni with hair.
“Well, not because of anything else, but because of this.” At Mira’s words, Buni held out something. He was something like a black bundle.
“What is this?”
“You’ll know when you see it.”
When the bundle was pulled away, I opened my eyes wide.
“You took all of this? In the midst of that emergency?”
“I thought I would regret it if I threw it away, so I grabbed it quickly.”
The identity of the bundle Mira and Buni were carrying was the items I had spilled through the crack.
‘Dragon Slayer’s Seal’ and ‘Death King’s Scale Belt’. There was even the ‘Rainbow of Incident’, a set of necklaces and accessories obtained from ‘Mad Fangkog’.
Now that I think about it, the half-cloak that was used as the bundle cloth was the half-cloak I got from ‘Torvald the Swift’.
“Well, the stone slab and the cape wrapped around the headless corpse seemed quite expensive, but I couldn’t get them.”
What Mira was talking about was ‘Tombstone’ and ‘Angel’s Destruction’.
When I looked again, I couldn’t see the aquamarine ring I had been wearing since I fell into this world. But, well, that ring is something I got in the level zone.
Oh, I don’t have any money. It is fortunate that I only lost some of my personal money and public funds.
I quickly shook off my regret and smiled.
“Hey, that’s enough. “Where is this?”
I said that and put the dragon slayer’s seal on my finger.
“Huh.”
The body that had undergone molting was stronger than before. By wearing the Dragon Slayer’s Seal, I could clearly feel that I had become stronger and more agile.
While I was clenching my fist with strength I had never felt before, Mira and Buni were making awkward expressions.
“thanks. “I will definitely reward you for this.”
“No, thank you.”
Despite my repeated thanks, Mira and Buni waved their hands. Mira, who had been quietly moistening her lips for a moment, hesitated before opening her mouth.
“Just a few gold coins is enough. and,”
“and?”
“I mean, Ellen.”
“… … Ellen?”
Mira and Buni’s faces turned white as if they had read something on my face.
“No, it’s nothing else, yo.”
“… … what. Why are you so polite all of a sudden?”
“Uh, that is.”
Perhaps because Mira was frustrated with her stuttering, Buni came forward and poured out her words.
“I would like to ask you to look after Ellen if she tries to harm us.”
“… … Ellen is hurting you?
why’?”
“I’m just asking you a favor, just in case.”
I glanced back at Ellen. The guy who was asleep with a wheezing sound had a face like an angel.
“don’t worry. Because nothing will happen.”
“… … “That’s exactly what I wanted to hear.”
Mira and Buni, whose faces brightened, disappeared as if running away.
What are they?
As I was about to sit next to Ellen again, another customer came.
“Lord Phoenix.”
“Mr. Xanavas?”
Druid Xanabas approached with unsteady steps and smiled bitterly.
“Hatanka is already asleep.”
“Utequoiya, well, he’s the kind of guy who can sleep as long as he sticks his butt to his head.”
Xanabas made a strange expression for a moment and then sighed deeply.
“I’m sorry, Lord Phoenix.”
“… … “What do you mean?”
“Well, it looks like you were so flustered that you didn’t hear anything.”
Xanavas briefly explained the situation in the crack.
They said that I was captured by Karamek’s thoughts and the power of the underworld, that they were captured by Ellen while trying to escape, and that it was a shame.
“So, I’d like to say I’m sorry.”
“… … “Oh, I see.”
“Actually, I was going to tell you later, but Siren looks like he’s going to spit fire if I don’t move right away… …
While Xanavas continued talking, I quietly scratched my eyebrows.
… … Well, that’s ambiguous.
If I had been awake in that situation, I would have ripped them all off.
But after the matter was somehow resolved, he came to me and told me the truth, so it seemed a bit funny that he was questioning me for my mistakes.
I took a quick look and saw that Xanavas’ face had turned pale. You can’t see any wounds, but it looks like the injury was quite serious. Swordsman Simos, resting over there, had even lost one of his eyes.
When I started speaking, Xanabas said, “Yes,” and closed his mouth.
“I’m fine. “I don’t remember anything in particular, but anyway, you fought to save me.”
“Thank you for saying that, Lord Phoenix.”
“No, thank you. but.”
I shrugged and patted Ellen, who was sleeping.
“I don’t know what Ellen will think.” “… … Um, okay.”
Zanavas struggled with words in his mouth, but eventually swallowed them and retreated.
We rested until evening. Everyone was tired and injured so badly that they had to save up their strength to move.
At sunset, we came down from the mountain and settled down at camp in the forest. After spending the night here, I planned to move to the mountain cabin as soon as the sun came up.
The reason they went to the mountain lodge instead of Longville was because the lord’s army was defeated.
There would be a lot of Anupads around here, so there was no reason to go back to Longville now.
I was fortunate to have sent spotted and wads to the mountain cabin. Before leaving Longville, he had asked a member of the Atalanta clan just in case. When I think about it again, it was truly a godsend.
Suddenly, I remembered a bundle swimming with short legs in the bathtub. When I get back, we should take a bath together.
While doing maintenance, I was able to check the character sheet.
Ellen, I, and Ute Kwai had risen two levels each.
It was definitely a pleasure to go up two levels, but the experience felt a bit salty, perhaps due to my mood.
So I roughly calculated my experience points, but it turned out that I didn’t have enough experience points to level up twice.
I thought maybe I had received bonus experience for some unknown reason.
Aside from Ellen and Utequoiya, my character sheets were going crazy.
Name: me
Level: 22
Class: Blood Knight
Stats: Remaining Bonus – 1
Strength – 27 (51) Dexterity – 26 (48) Health – 24 (42) Horsepower – 20 (30)
skill :
Blood Blade 6pt, Plunder 2pt,
Blood Shield 3pt
Flowing Blood 5pt, Hot Blood 3pt, Legendary Bloodline Ipt Thirst 4pt, Blood Thirst 2pt
Blood Bora Ipt
The first thing that caught my eye was, of course, his abilities.
As a level-up bonus, all I added was 1 point each for strength, agility, and health. The rest all went up for free through this process.
The free points increased were 1 point each for strength and agility, 2 points for health, and a whopping 8 points for magic power. If you convert it into a bonus, you get almost 6 levels worth of abilities for free.
The strange thing was that the skills were the same.
As a level-up bonus, I strengthened ‘Blood Shield’ and ‘Blood Thirst’ by 1 point each, and ‘Blood Blade’ and ‘Plunder’ were upgraded by myself.
The strangest thing was the ‘legendary lineage’.
This is a special passive skill of the bloodline series, and the acquisition requirement is level 25. But it was just stamped.
After doing a simple calculation, my ability level was level 29 and my skill level was level 28.
You’ve become stronger, of course it’s a good thing… … . Suddenly, the flavor text of ‘Legendary Bloodline’ came to mind.
-The terrible power within your bloodline is awakened.
Fuck, is this okay?
