My Villains Episode 166

41. Blood Knight (3)

As soon as I regained consciousness, I cried out from the inside out. No, should I say that I woke up with my stomach vomited?

“Cough, wheck-”

“Phoenix!”

As he was lying face down, spitting out black blood, Steedman and Mira came rushing towards him. I barely raised my upper body and stretched out my hands first.

“Ah, water. Water, please.”

Only after emptying the water bag that Mira gave me to the end did my burning thirst subside.

… … But what happened?

It was a complete mess everywhere.

The fire spread in all directions, spewing out black smoke, and countless corpses of mercenaries and dogs were scattered across the low hill.

Our group was also recovering from injuries here and there.

Nearby, Amias, whose hands were dropping, was taking care of Jenessa, who had a crossbow stuck in her chest, and the wizard Siren, with a bandaged calf, was being supported by his younger brother, Ethan. Simos was putting a cloth over her side, where her blood was seeping out.

“Keuung.”

I shook my dizzy head a couple of times and stood up.

“Uh, are you okay?”

I fended off Steedman who was trying to help me and picked up Hrun Ting that had fallen nearby.

“What about Utequai and Ellen?”

“Hatanka is over there, and Ellen is… … I do not know.”

At the place he was pointing to, Utequai was pulling out a man’s head. He must have been the last one since there were no mercenaries standing around.

Wizard Siren muttered something as if he had been waiting. Then, a golem near Utequai creaked and collapsed. The statue, broken in several places and covered in blood, collapsed into a heap of dirt.

“Ah, wow-”

Utekwai had severe injuries all over his body. In particular, the wounds on his crook, chest, and forearms were so deep that they appeared pale at first glance.

He threw down the head he was holding and dug into the chest of the convulsing corpse. They took off his chains and clothes, tore off his flesh and bones, and took out his heart. It’s a terrible sight… … .

“Ugh, uuuuu!”

The black eye light blinked.

As if in response, the white bone ring on Utequai’s right hand secretly oozed magical power. His rough, large hands were trembling.

“Athar, iya.”

The guy muttered something with a very distorted face. He then fell forward, dropping his heart that he had brought to his mouth.

“this.”

As I was watching this, I quickly ran to Ute Kwai.

I laid him down straight and stretched my waist, but no matter how hard I searched, I couldn’t find any potion. She said Ellen had gotten two bottles from Master Cass Wright, so she had a bottle for me too.

“If you are looking for a potion, I wrote it to Poinix. “Hatanka.”

“You wrote it to me?”

“yes. “You were struck by lightning.”

“thunderbolt? ah.”

Now I remember.

While talking to Tobias or something, we got hit with a fireball first. The guy fired a crossbow attached to some kind of magic tool and induced the ‘lightning’ spell.

When I suddenly took off my left glove, I saw that something that looked like a mark started from the fingertips, passed through the back of the hand, and continued all the way to the inside of the sleeve.

Red scars carved in the shape of tree branches or veins… … . It’s probably a sign of a lightning strike.

The blood was flowing rapidly, disorganizing the shape and losing color, but it seemed like it would take quite some time for the scar to completely disappear.

Well, that’s not what’s important right now.

I glanced towards the cliff, patching up Utequoi’s wounds as I saw them.

“Then what about the wizard? “That lightning strike was definitely magic.”

“Just a little while ago, it was flashing, with lightning striking and fireballs flying, but now it has calmed down.”

“hmm… …

I looked at the cliff at Steedman’s words, but it was too far away so I couldn’t see anything.

It’s a fireball. Is Ellen okay?

Where is the bundle? I told you to assassinate the enemy that poses the most threat first if something goes wrong, but did you do as I said?

While I was using blood pressure to stop the bleeding on Utequai’s wound, Steedman, who was assisting me in applying the cloth, glanced behind me and opened his mouth.

“Jenessa’s wounds are serious. “You won’t be able to last long.”

Jenessa had been making bubbling noises and blood was spurting from her mouth. It looked like the lungs had been torn and blood was filling up, and treatment was needed as quickly as possible.

“… … Ah, damn it.”

How should I do this? It’s been a while since I woke up and my head is not working well.

“Phoenix, over there!” At that moment, an archer called Call appeared from the bushes. Long blond hair was draped over his shoulders.

“Ellen?”

Cole was carrying Ellen, who had fainted. I ran to him, picked Ellen up, and looked over her. There are dots of blood on the left side of his face… … .

“Ellen!”

“It’s not a big wound *huh, huh*. “It looks like it was scratched by something like a piece of wood *sigh*.”

Even though he was taking a deep breath, Cole had a very calm tone.

When I looked again, there was a slightly deep cut above my ear, but it wasn’t that big of a wound.

“What the hell is this?”

“You were hit by a spell while fighting wizards. The wizards were handled by a man named Moongchi.”

“Wizards?”

“There were three other people besides the thunderbolt. “There was also a man with me who I didn’t know whether he was a mercenary or a bodyguard.”

As I was taking care of Ellen’s wounds, I frowned.

“… … “There are four wizards?”

“yes.”

He’s a bounty hunter chasing Ellen and a wizard capable of causing lightning strikes.

It is clear that they are the pursuers of the Palace of La-Palais.

“Surely you killed those wizards?”

“I didn’t see it clearly, but I killed at least two people. “They were wizards who controlled lightning and wind, respectively.”

“Ha, I’m going crazy.”

Killing the palace wizard.

Of course, it was an unavoidable situation, but I can’t even imagine how things could turn out wrong.

“That’s not what’s important right now.”

Cole continued speaking quickly, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

“Mr. Janabas went to look for Mr. Munchi.”

“…What do you mean by that?”

“Mr. Moongchi, who was dealing with the wizards, was hit by a crossbow and fell into the bushes somewhere. So, Mr. Janabas left Te Elen in charge and went to look for Mr. Mungchi.” Cole added his words with a stern look on his face.

“Mr. Xanavas said he felt an ominous magical energy.”

“Ominous magical power?”

“yes. “They said it was a magic power that couldn’t exist in Middle Earth, and that we had to avoid it.”

… … under. What kind of mess is this?

I put aside my worries for now and quickly settled down with my group. Since there were many wounded, the party was sent down to Longville and planned to take only Cole and Sea Moss to look for the bundle.

The problem was Utequoi.

The guy is about 220 cm tall, and his body weight feels like twice that of mine. Such an incredibly large figure was lying unconscious.

Moreover, the injuries were so serious that it was impossible to tie him with a rope and drag him away. Even the golem that Siren summoned by squeezing out mana couldn’t hold Utequai properly.

In the end, Golem was made to carry Genessa, Mira was made to carry Ellen, and a stretcher was improvised to carry Utequai. It was only with Amias, Steedman, Cole, and Simos clinging to it that they were barely able to move it.

By the time I finished preparing to send the group out. A magical energy was wafted from the bushes.

“Is this it?”

I definitely understand why Xanavas called it ‘ominous.’ Even I, who was not very familiar with magic, could vaguely feel the dark and hopeless atmosphere… … .

When I glanced back, I saw that the Rao family’s siblings had turned pale. As he made eye contact, I quietly shook my head.

On the other hand, others, including Amias, just looked confused.

“… … Poynix?”

“no. “Let’s go, right now.”

“Um, I understand.”

Amias, with a shocked expression on his face for a moment, led the group down the road.

After confirming that the group had departed, I slowly walked towards the bush.

A vague ominous feeling passes through my mind.

Magical power that cannot exist in Middle Earth. Anupads finished with my water. A messenger from the disappeared dark world… … .

What follows is a scene I saw on a computer monitor that comes to mind.

The screen has become dark. A robber baron who sacrificed not only the hostages but also his own men. The renegade Guardian of the Sky… … .

The premonition quickly turned into certainty.

This is because a huge figure slowly walked out from the bushes.

“••••♦•Fuck.”

It was Anupad, whose size was larger than that of an adult troll.

It had a gray crown on its head. Thanks to this, it wasn’t that difficult to guess its identity.

The boss of Chapter 3, ‘Queen Lamashda’.

“smell.”

The monster imitated human voices. Eyes sparkling with strange magical power stared down at me.

“The smell of blood.”

The magical power of the other dimension, which was felt only as an atmosphere, turned into a concrete disaster. It felt like black smoke was spreading across the floor.

“Kabilda. Undog.”

Magical power has been constricting my body and mind. Just as her vision was about to become a little blurry, she raised her vitality and resisted it.

“It’s a shame. “Zarita.”

Ramashda continued to mutter unintelligible words. Her voice was unpleasant to hear, as if she was crying at first glance.

For a moment, I thought it was a spell in the eerie atmosphere, but then I heard a familiar word.

“Shitwug. Liuyama.”

… … Shitwug?

Are you referring to ‘Lieutenant Shit’ug’?

Then a few more words flowed, and a familiar word was heard again.

“Pshaki. Solun.”

‘Blue Pshaki’.

Only then did I realize the identity of the words Ramashda was spouting.

“Shut up. Udean.”

It was a name. The names of the Anupads I have killed so far.

Ramashda came down the slope with tears streaming down her face. The closer the guy got, the more vicious the ominous magic became.

“Ugh.”

A huge dog-shaped monster was trudging down on two feet, crying sadly like a mother who lost her child. It is a creepy sight that I fear will appear in my dreams.

“••••••under.”

When I realized the situation, I burst out laughing.

Dark Blessing.

The curse that was given to a single named person in the game was given to the chapter boss in the shitty reality.

“Ushtu’s, thing.”

Ushtu.

The gods of ratmen and goblins, orcs and ogres, Anupad and the Minotaur… … .

“We have to go together.”

After hearing that, I threw the javelin with all my might.

“Sigh.”

The force that started from the stepping foot rotated the knees, waist, shoulders, and elbows in turn, and was carried to the javelin.

puck!

” ah.”

The javelin pierced straight through the forehead.

Ramashda, shedding tears, kept approaching with a javelin stuck in his head.

“This is crazy.”

At that moment, when I got goosebumps and pulled out the Hrunting, Lamashda’s huge fuselage collapsed.

Woodang soup.

The monster’s body rolled along the slope for about four or five turns and stopped after getting caught on a rock.

Then there was no movement.

what? no way.

“… … Did you finish it?”

I was muttering unconsciously, but then I closed my mouth in surprise.

But it was already too late, as Ramashda’s corpse began to wriggle loudly.

“ha•… •-

As he cut his palm and covered Hrunting with blood, Ramashda’s stomach was cut open.

Guooo-!

An ominous howl.

Instead of internal organs spilling out from the split stomach, black magical energy came out. It was as if a pitch-black passage had opened… … .

Ta-da-da-da-dak.

The faint sound gradually grew louder. A loud noise, like a swarm of insects… … .

“… … Kimpoinix, you stupid bastard.”

As soon as I finished muttering, black shadows rushed out from the passageway in La Mashida’s stomach.

Gooooo!

The black beasts, with only their upper bodies remaining, opened their mouths and sang in unison. Befitting its size as an ox, its voice is also loud.

They, the descendants of the evil god Ushtu, rushed in this direction, scratching the ground with both arms as soon as they pulled themselves out of the passage, as if they had made a plan.

“Oh, x-two!”

He shouted and swung his Hrunting at the attacking animals.
