My Villains Episode 167

41. Blood Knight (4)

Gooooo!

Just as the descendants of the evil god who appeared in Middle Earth were cheering, the group was blocked by a group of humans and horses.

‘this.’ Amias, who had been drawn by the ominous voice and looked back, quickly turned his head back to its original position.

The riders in front were just looking down at the group with cold eyes, as if they were not surprised by the sound.

“……O ugh”

—

Amias felt numb.

In his opinion, having served as a soldier for several years, the riders lined up in front of the group were extremely dangerous.

A jet black war horse, heavy armament, a large physique and stable posture, tightly closed lips and sharp eyes… … .

‘They are knights. ‘There’s no doubt about it.’

I don’t know if all eight riders were knights, but the three wearing the odd plate armor certainly seemed like knights.

‘What the hell are you guys?’

The riders who appeared out of nowhere and blocked the path ahead were looking down at the group without saying a word. Amias felt a bit creepy and took a short breath.

“Whoa.”

He took a step forward, overcoming the sense of responsibility that rested on his chest.

“Well, sir, who are you to block my way?”

Amias praised himself in his heart. He was neither too rude nor too servile, and I thought he was just the right level of person to deal with a knight.

However, when the Eight Horsemen remained silent, that thought was slightly shaken.

‘… … Did it sound a little cheesy?’

While Amias was sweating, Siren, who had defeated Ethan’s support, limped forward.

“Looking at your coat of arms, it looks like you are from the Raj’il duchy. Do you have any business?”

Silence followed.

However, Simos, Mira, and Kol, who had a good sense of humor, noticed that this silence was a little different from before.

Simos and Mira grabbed the handle of the sword at their waist, and Kol secretly fumbled for his quiver of arrows.

The riders looked down at this and remained silent.

Then, one of the three riders with scale-patterned Full Helms, one of whom Amias was sure were knights, turned his head to the side.

“miss?”

His eyes turned to the back of the riders.

There was a woman there.

“… … her.”

Only then did the group discover the woman and open their mouths, forgetting the situation.

Many, many, many.

The woman took the reins and approached the group.

A thick satin cloak with a large ruby ​​brooch attached to it, a vest with four or five golden buttons, a high-quality saddle with a leaf pattern engraved on it, and subtly shiny black leather pants… … .

Things like that didn’t even catch my eye.

This is because the long black hair, white skin, and red lips violently attract attention.

“hi.”

Although the seven pairs of gazes might have been burdensome, the woman remained calm. It is an indifference created by her innate character and a lifetime of experience added to it.

Her pitch-black eyes drifted from Utequoi on the stretcher to Ellen, where the mummy lay at her feet.

“The Red Bear and the Fire Witch.”

Amias, who had been captivated by the bright red, plump lips, shook his shoulders and asked back when the woman’s eyes turned to him.

“••••••Uh, yes?”

“The Red Bear and the Fire Witch. Right?”

“Oh, yes. “No, that,” Amias stammered, while the woman blinked her eyes quietly. She waited quietly until the other person came to his senses.

“Who are you, Miss?”

Of course, waiting did not mean consideration.

“Where is the bloody prosecutor?”

“yes?” “I mean Phoenix. where are you?”

“that……

Amias, who suddenly became wary, squeezed his stomach and shook his head.

“I’m sorry, but please tell me who you are.”

Silence again.

However, this silence was different from before, even to the oblivious Ami Asna Steedman.

The riders’ eyes grew bright with anticipation. It wasn’t a big change, but the impressions were so colorless that even small changes were easily noticeable.

The person who broke the tense silence was neither the nervous Amias nor the silent beauty.

It was.

“Hmm.”

“Eh, Ellen!” Ellen frowned and groaned for a moment before slowly opening her eyes. She then suddenly raised her upper body.

“Here, here.”

“Ellen. Please calm down.”

Kol got down on one knee and lowered his voice to a whisper.

“This is a dangerous situation.”

Ellen quickly glanced around and regained the focus of her eyes.

“What about Poi?”

“I went to look for Mr. Janabas and Mr. Mungchi.”

“… … “Have you come to your senses?”

“yes. “You are fine.”

Blue eyes twinkled for a moment.

“… … “What about my wand and crystal ball?”

“The wand is here. “I couldn’t get the crystal ball because I was busy.”

After receiving the wand, Ellen quietly traced her left ear. Her feathers that had allowed her to fly were gone, and only her bitter scars remained.

Ellen stood up with a calm expression on her face.

Meanwhile, the riders just stood there dumbfounded. The woman standing in front of the riders looked down at Ellen and opened her mouth.

“hi.”

“You are the fire witch, right?”

Ellen quietly brushed her hair. The drops of blood that had splattered on the left side of her face had dried and stuck before she knew it.

“… … What are you?”

The woman blinked for a moment and answered with her still expressionless face.

“Say hello.”

“How are you?”

“huh. “Daria.”

“what?”

Ellen stiffened as if struck by lightning.

“What is that?”

For a moment, with her eyes open, the magic power spread out around her. Her eyes sparkle blue.

“… … “What are you doing, bitch?”

“I came to look for Poi.”

“Poi?”

“huh.”

Huh.

Ellen’s enormous magical power swirled everywhere. A blatant and violent flow of magical power.

The war horses cried out and struggled. The riders pulled on the reins with expressionless faces.

Meanwhile, the black-haired woman still had a peaceful face. Her words were the same.

‘••••••This?’

Ellen, who was preparing a spell with her mind together, suddenly became shocked. This is because the woman in front of her unleashed her magic power that was equal to her own, no, she was even more powerful than her own.

The woman who had been quietly blinking suddenly opened her mouth. Words that Ellen had never expected came out of her red lips.

“She’s Poi’s fiancée.”

“… … what?” “You asked. Who am I? Ellen’s face became cold at those leisurely words.

Goo goo goo-

The two women’s gazes crossed, and the air dropped. Enormous magical powers touched their foreheads together.

“Poi’s fiancee? you?”

“that’s right.”

Following a simple question and answer, a sense of death was added to the whirlwind of magical power.

Amias was caught in the gap, his face turning pale.

‘… … Could it be that I made a mistake?’ While he swallowed dryly, Cole adjusted his grip and glanced quickly at his riders.

‘Twelve or thirteen steps. If you shoot that female noblewoman’s horse, knock it down and take it hostage… …

It didn’t seem easy.

The woman’s relaxed attitude, powerful magical power, and the sharp gaze of the riders made me cringe.

‘It’s too close. Ellen alone can’t handle them.’

Out of the corner of his eye, Cole looked at U Te Kwai, who was lying on a stretcher. His expression wasn’t as stern as you’d think, but it didn’t look like he was going to wake up any time soon.

The group’s eyes were busy, and the standoff continued for a while.

It was then.

A large ball rolled down from a hill far away.

Gooooo!

No, it wasn’t a ball.

All kinds of animals, including dogs, cows, pigs, and rats, were crawling together, with only the upper body remaining.

They were dragging their heavy bodies and waving their arms constantly. They were pushing, pulling, and trampling each other, rolling around as one mass.

The riders immediately took out their shields and weapons from their saddles. Four held jousting spears, two held flails, and two held long cleavers.

A man armed with a full helm, heavy plate armor, a heater shield, and a cleaver approached the woman.

“miss?”

The woman watched Ushtu’s household and opened her mouth.

“Take care of those first.”

“Then these people,”

“I will protect it.”

He was silent for a moment and then pulled the reins.

“All right.”

As the man veered off the road, the other riders followed him.

The eight riders drove their horses in a gentle detour through the grass. Then he rushed towards the members coming down the slope. There were no slogans, no prayers, no cursing, no shouting that would normally be shouted just before a battle.

Cole, who was watching them, let out an exclamation without realizing it.

“that-”

What caught his eye was the weapons held by the three leading riders. One cleaver and two jousting spears were covered in dark red blood.

“They are blood knights.”

Wizard Siren muttered in disbelief.

“Just in case, I met the Blood Knights of Raz Il in a place like this.” Her eyes widened for a moment and she looked back at Ellen.

“Ellen, surely it’s phoenix hardness-”

At that moment, the horsemen, led by the three blood knights, collided with the group of subordinates.

bang!

The jousting spear pierced the neck, the flail broke the skull, and the cleaver tore the body to pieces.

Black, sticky fluid splattered everywhere. Neither horses nor armor were a blemish on the pitch-black blood knights.

Gooooo-! As the subordinates roared and charged, the riders skillfully held on to the reins.

They did not confront the beasts head on. I rode at an angle with them on my right. Then, he crushed the edges as if peeling off the skin of a fruit.

Ushtu’s subordinates showed great strength commensurate with their massive size, and were so grotesquely ferocious that they attacked without even caring for themselves. However, because he could not keep up with the riders’ agile movements, he collapsed helplessly, exploding bodily fluids.

Of course, the riders were not without sacrifices.

Goooooow!

A dog-like beast threw itself and grabbed a horse. These were the words of the rider who was following at the rear.

Hee hee hee-

As the horse with its neck bitten slowed down, other animals caught up.

In the end, the horse fell violently, and the rider riding it also rolled to the ground. He was a young squire who must have been twenty years old.

“Whoa-”

The squire did not ask for help. He caught his breath and pulled the knife from his belt.

His colleagues didn’t look back either. He simply drove his horse with alacrity and killed his subordinates.

Steedman, who was watching the scene, opened his mouth without realizing it.

“… … What is that.”

He recalled the war of ants he saw as a child.

Ants do not scream, ask for mercy from their enemies, or mourn the death of their comrades. I don’t know what it was like in reality, but at least that’s how Steedman saw it.

The seed that fell behind was instantly buried by animals.

«Ugh!

He swung his sword until the last moment and felled two more bull-sized animals. It was a heroic struggle.

“eww-”

Resistance did not last long.

The young squire, who would have been a great knight, was torn off limb by limb and disappeared into the belly of the animals. That was the end of it.

“As expected, they are just as terrible as I heard.”

Siren, whose face became pale, hesitated and then turned his head in surprise. The woman who was part of the horsemen’s group was still nearby.

The woman did not even look at Siren. She slowly handed the reins from her horse to my leader, Ni Steedman.

“Please take care of me for a while.”

“yes?”

Steedman, who had been handed the reins in a haphazard manner, looked up blankly at the woman. Looking again, I saw that she was quite tall. Compared to Steedman, who was teased by the freckled mummy for being stocky, she was a size taller.

The woman rummaged through the saddle and took out three glass bottles. When she looked at the bottles, she made a sound like a mummy was threatening.

“Oh, that-”

Mira opened and closed her mouth in the middle, but no one knew what that sticky red liquid was.

The woman handed two of the three bottles she took out to Ah Mias.

“••••♦•This,”

“It’s a wound healing potion. Split it up.”

“No, I wasn’t asking what this was.”

Cole stopped Amias, who was speaking gibberish, with a look. He took a potion and went straight to Utequai.

” ah.”

Amias finally came to his senses and looked back at Genessa. Then he made a strange expression.

This is because the noblewoman approached Jenessa and immediately pulled out the crossbow stuck in her chest.

“Hmm-”

“Jenessa!”

When Jenessa let out a sound of exhaustion, Amias was shocked and shouted.

“Holy shit, what the hell are you doing!”

The woman ignored the question and extended her hand forward.

“Uh huh.” Someone made a threatening noise. This is because the blood flowed backwards from Genessa’s wound.

“This guy-”

When Amias huffed as if he was going to attack at any moment, Siren stopped him.

“wait a minute.”

“Get out of the way, that bitch sucks Jenessa’s blood!”

“That’s true, but that’s not it.”

“What nonsense is that?”

The blood welled up into a small clump on the woman’s left hand. It was like a large skein of thread.

“It took the blood out of my lungs.”

“what’?”

The woman answered as she opened the glass bottle.

“If you use the potion while leaving blood in your lungs, you will suffer for the rest of your life. “It’ll be okay now.”

“… … Uh, something like that.”

She poured some of the potion on the wound. Next, she cupped the back of Jenessa’s head and let her take a few sips.

“O ugh” —

Amias looked shocked when he saw that Genessa’s breathing had returned.

“what… …

While he was thinking about what to say, Ellen, who had been quiet, suddenly opened her mouth.

“… … “What kind of modification is this?”

The woman was slowly rolling a ball of blood in the air. A bead slightly smaller than her egg spun diligently.

“Answer me.”

The woman looked at the battle taking place in the distance and turned her head towards Ellen.

” what?”

“You acted like you were going to attack me at any moment and then suddenly gave me a potion? “What on earth are we going to do?”

As Ellen fired, she carefully observed the beads of blood.

As she has been living with Poynix for a long time, she has gained a deeper understanding of blood magic, which she had only learned from books.

Thanks to that, I knew very well that although the beads that the woman made looked like nothing special on the outside, they were actually a very advanced technique.

‘You can control someone else’s blood and float it in the air like that. Aside from the amount of magical power, the ability to control blood is on a completely different level from Phoenix.’

Perhaps knowing that Ellen was nervous, the woman blinked her eyes a couple of times before opening her mouth.

“That’s natural. “I didn’t know who you were before, and I don’t know now.”

“What do you know?”

“You guys are Poi’s friends.”

“••••••what?”

“why? no?”

“no… …

Looking at Ellen, who was speechless, the woman added leisurely.

“It’s not unusual to help your husband-to-be’s friends.”

“… … Oh my, that’s-ha.”

When Ellen, who had been gaping, just burst into laughter, the woman’s head tilted slightly.

Although her face was still expressionless, Ellen somehow felt like she was laughing at herself.

At that moment, Ellen was overcome with an unknown sense of anxiety.

‘… … Really, you’re Poi’s fiancée? I didn’t hear anything like that. But if it’s real.’

After watching Ellen’s expression change moment by moment, the woman turned her head toward the north.

Eight, no, now seven, riders were struggling. The evil god’s descendants, whose numbers have been reduced by more than half, seem to have changed their goal and are rushing in this direction, ignoring the riders’ attacks.

there was.

The woman, who was quietly watching the scene, took out something from inside her vest.

What appeared along with the leisurely movements was a pair of black velvet gloves. She divided her gloves between her hands and suddenly looked back at Siren.

“By the way, you.”

“yes?”

“There was a lot of talk.”

“… … “What do you mean by that?”

The back of the glove had a small pattern embroidered on it. Five white diamonds gathered toward the center looked like white flowers in bloom.

“I want to maintain a good relationship with Poi’s friends.”

The left hand, wearing a black glove, drew a small circle. The egg-sized beads of blood spread in an instant.

“But I’m not confident that I can build a good relationship with a chatterbox who starts talking everywhere.”

The blood spread thinly and spread across the woman’s back. It looks like a curtain, a cloak, or-

“How about you?”

It looked like wings.

A woman covered in dark red blood stared at Siren.

The pitch-black eyes, which evoke all kinds of imagination because they are empty, delve into the very depths… … .

“Ugh, I’m sorry, I never said anything…” …

Seeing Siren shaking her chin, the woman turned to the others.

“What about you?”

Everyone lowered their eyes in front of the figure with outstretched wings. Only a pair of blue eyes were staring at her woman with the potential to breathe fire.

At that moment, the woman’s mouth twitched ever so slightly.

The woman who was looking down at Ellen made a humming sound and suddenly opened her mouth.

“My name is Hayla. Heila of Baluin.”

“Please take care of me, Ellen.”

As soon as those words were finished, a dark red wave rushed towards the evil spirit’s descendants.
