My Villains Episode 180
42. Bridle (12)
“Are you Attilia?”
Atilia tried to remember who the woman in front of her was with her mind growing fainter.
“……Kuhhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.”
She coughed blood and blinked.
And soon she was convinced that this was the first time she had met the woman who appeared in front of her.
The reason was simple. Because the woman in front of her was so beautiful that even the same woman could not forget it.
“I heard you are close friends with Phoenix.”
When the woman mentioned Phoenix, her golden eyes, which had been in a daze, fluttered.
“They said they saved each other’s lives.”
Unlike Atilia, who was panting as if she was about to run out of breath, Hayla, a peerless beauty, looked relaxed, as if she were out on a picnic and reading a book.
“There is some talk that the two of you may be more than friends.”
Talking alone in front of a quiet person. For Hayla, this was a very rare occurrence.
She enjoyed listening more than talking, and observing rather than showing off. Perhaps that’s why, contrary to her appearance, she was very friendly and had a knack for creating her own person wherever she went. It was thanks to that talent that she learned her story about Atilia.
“It’s true?”
Atilia coughed again. Is it because of that cough? Her eyes watered.
“… … “Hey, *sigh* what are you doing?”
“Heyla. Poynix’s fiancée.”
Atilia’s breathing became a little rough.
Hayla looked down at her and stretched out her hand. It was towards the hole in her side where pieces of her intestines and blood had pooled.
However, Heila’s Seomseom Ok was not stained with blood. She raised her magic power from a reasonable distance.
天 天tsu
———7、、•
As the red blood began to form beads, Hayla took out a wound healing potion from the horse’s saddle and poured it on the wound.
“Ugh-”
An acrid smell spread along with a bubbling sound. Heyla manipulated Atilia’s blood to boost her vitality while also causing the magic potion to spread effectively… … .
“you!”
Heila slowly turned her head at the sharp voice. Ellen stood among her mercenaries, pointing her wand at her.
“What are you doing now?”
“I’m treating your wounds.”
“… … “Stop being stupid!”
Hayla quietly blinked her eyes.
A gaze that seems similar to Phoenix but is not similar at all. Ellen gritted her teeth.
“That bitch is a traitor. “They knocked down the gate and killed hundreds of people!”
“know.”
“But why-”
“Because it’s worth it.”
“… … Value, you say?”
“huh. “It’s worth saving.”
Thanks to the wound healing potion and the advanced level of blood manipulation, Atilia’s side healed quickly. The treatment process must have been so painful that Atilia fainted before she knew it.
The injuries to her shoulder and left arm were still serious, but Hayla decided she could survive this for a while.
“Amias, Steedman.”
“••••••Uh, yes?”
“Come on.”
Quiet blinking, relaxed tone of voice.
Nevertheless, Amias and Steedman could not disobey Hayla’s orders. This was because she knew very well how fearsome and noble she was. As a bonus, during the few days she stayed at the Yeongjujeon, she made friends that were not hers.
Amias and Steedman rushed over and put Atilia on the black horse as Heila told them to do.
“under! “What are you doing now?”
Ellen burst out laughing and was about to scold the two mercenaries.
“What are you doing!”
Doyle, a young man standing on the remains of the gate, shouted loudly.
A middle-aged man who appeared to be a commander tried to stop him, but Doyle was already out of his mind.
“Don’t just stand still, push further!”
Of the troops borrowed from his father, Count Tristan, he lost 30%, and four knights, Aheup and a saboteur, died.
The Nudein woman he had always wanted ran wild and ended up being returned, and the woman who appeared out of nowhere was more beautiful than any beauty he had ever seen in his life.
So Doyle gave orders to his soldiers with bloodshot eyes.
“Are you still deaf? The enemies are on the verge of extinction! “Keep attacking!”
As he said, the Longville Army’s defense line was practically collapsed.
The situation was better near the fence in the north as Lord Langbolt was still active, but there were almost no soldiers left in the central and southern areas.
The soldiers who had run away due to Atilia’s rampage made eye contact with each other. Murmur, ‘Is it worth it?’ A low-key conversation went back and forth.
Despite the change in atmosphere, Doyle could not help but feel angry.
“These guys – how dare you look at them!”
“Prince, please wait a moment. “For now, let’s take care of the rear issues first.”
“Ik, let go of this!”
Wow!
He slapped the middle-aged commander, Angus, who was trying to dissuade him, and lashed out at the soldiers.
“Father, even if your Excellency were here, would you have hesitated? “Hurry up and attack!”
The soldiers suddenly came to their senses.
Count Tristan was a great lord who greatly prospered the Marva region during his 23-year reign, and was a lord whom all soldiers respected.
Soon, the soldiers formed a formation under the command of non-commissioned officers and began charging toward the Longville Army’s defense line.
“Hey, you!”
“Yes, Confucius!”
Doyle ordered a young adjutant nearby.
“Go and get that woman, no, the lady.”
“By young lady, do you mean that woman with dark hair?”
“okay. Judging by his attire, he appears to be of noble status, so please serve him well.”
“… … All right.”
The adjutant, who read the sparkling lust in Doyle’s eyes, nodded with an expression on his face and disappeared among the soldiers.
The assault, which started with such vigor, encountered unexpected difficulties as soon as it began. Ellen, who had been preparing the spell since Doyle was crowded, threw a fireball as if she had been waiting.
“Lum—fere!”
With a crackling voice, a fireball exploded at the head of the Multingham army.
Boom!
“Kkoaaak!”
“Hot, hot-”
As more than twenty troops were caught up in the explosion in an instant, the sergeants gritted their teeth and spread the soldiers out.
The Longville army, who saw this, displayed courage and repaired the defense line. However, the defense preparations ended up being in vain.
Because Hayla came forward.
Looking at the soldiers rushing towards her, she took out a pair of velvet gloves from her arms.
The back of the hand of the glove, which was put on with a leisurely movement, had five diamond patterns engraved on it. It looked like it was an imitation of a white flower.
When Heila extended her right index finger forward, one of the five petals, or rather, a diamond pattern, began to shine.
Ugh.
With a small sound, the diamond pattern flowed towards the index finger, and when it reached the tip of the index finger, it became a bullet emitting white light,
Boom!
It was shot forward.
“Keck!”
The soldier who was running ahead had a hole the size of a coin in his solar plexus.
The ‘star bullets’ fired by Heila with the ‘Gloves of the Milky Way’ did not stop there. After piercing through a couple more soldiers, it fell into a large stone block, which was the remains of the gateway.
Heila then raised her left hand.
This time too, a diamond pattern flashed and a star bullet shot out, piercing four or five soldiers.
Thump-thump, thump!
Every time the black-haired beauty fired star bullets with an expressionless face, the soldiers screamed and fell.
“Wow, it’s magic!”
“Archer!”
At the shout of a non-commissioned officer, the archers hurriedly loaded their arrows. Then Do Il, who was standing behind the archers, jumped up.
“Who told you to shoot arrows! “Suppress him without hurting him!”
“This idiot-like bastard,”
“what? Who dares-”
When Doyle turned around in anger, the commander with a red face suddenly swung his fist.
Wow!
Commander Angus is a middle-aged veteran with extensive experience in the battlefield. With one blow from his fist, the noble master Doyle fell to the ground.
“We have to go to war for this stupid bastard.”
“Oh, Angus! Anyway, Confucius,”
“what.”
At Commander Angus’ growl, several nearby officers looked surprised. Angus screamed, spitting on the floor.
“Confucius has collapsed! “Take him to the back!”
Some of the officers looked embarrassed, but soon recovered their countenance and quickly nodded.
“Oh, I understand!”
“What are the archers doing! “Spew arrows!”
Unfortunately, his order came too late.
On a battlefield where more than thirty fresh corpses had been added, Hayla was rolling the marble. It was a bead made of blood taken out while treating Atilia.
Tsutsutsu _
The orb rotated and drew blood from the battlefield. The blood of the dead poured into the sky and gathered into beads.
“Ugh, what is this!”
“Uh oh, oh oh, it hurts, it hurts-”
Those who were hurt by the star bullets struggled against the pain that was squeezing their hearts.
Despite their desperate struggle, the blood that had been controlled by Hayla’s magic left the original owner’s body and surged toward the bead. The soldiers whose blood was taken alive trembled like aspen trees and died.
“Uh, what the hell is this-”
As Steedman stuttered due to the strange phenomenon, Hayla turned to him and gave an order.
“Stay back.”
“Eh, yes?”
“hurry. “Take the horse with you.”
At her command, Amias and Steedman fled inside the defense line, dragging the black horse carrying Atilia.
The Longville soldiers just watched the terrible scene with their mouths wide open. Ellen, who had been chanting the spell just now, was in the same situation.
“••••••crazy.”
The sight of Hayla’s orb spinning and collecting blood from all directions made Ellen strangely think of a fountain.
A fountain where blood flows instead of water, gathering from the outside in rather than scattering from the inside out.
The bright autumn sunlight scattered across the blood fountain and created a rainbow. It was an eerie yet beautiful scenery… … .
By the time the Multingham army’s archers rained down arrows, the beads of blood had turned into large disks instead of beads.
The disk, which had collected enough blood, changed its shape at will. Then it was draped over Hayla’s shoulders like a cloak, like wings, like a curtain.
Hayla quietly blinked and waved her hand. Her cloak, her wings, and the curtains shook violently at that gentle touch.
Kwaaa-
A soldier charging toward the defense line flinched and shook his head. This is because things got dark in an instant.
The soldier slightly raised his head, then opened his mouth. Red waves crashed over his head, blocking the sun.
“… … Oh, Lord Light.”
As soon as he finished muttering, the red waves swallowed up the arrows flying towards Heila and rain poured down on the ground.
Quagga Kwak!
The raindrops of blood hacked at the soldiers who were crawling on the ground, as if each drop had been an arrow or a harpoon.
“Aaaah!”
“Please save me, please save me-”
“Ouch, no, no,”
Every time blood exploded from the red roof, the soldiers gathered beneath it fell to the ground. Then, the blood spurted from the dead soldiers shot into the sky and repaired the hole in the roof.
It was a terrible cycle.
“Ugh, run away!”
With someone screaming, the soldiers lost their fighting spirit and scattered. I ran, rolled, and crawled towards a place where I could see the blue sky without the red roof.
Heila did not let go of the soldiers who were running away toward a glimpse of light.
“What?”
“My feet, my feet-”
The blood on the floor clung to the soldiers’ ankles.
The expression ‘held by the ankle’ was not a metaphor. Puddles of blood rose up here and there as if the jaws had opened and engulfed the soldiers’ feet.
“ ooo
Red roofs in the sky, bloody swamps on the ground.
On a sunny autumn day, hell unfolded and swallowed up every single one of the 247 soldiers… … .
Shoot ah-
Hayla retrieved the hem of a cloak draped around the area.
The soldiers, who were lying on the ground with their faces distorted, could not even move even though the blue sky they had longed for was spread out above them.
Heyla slowly raised her head and looked over the remains of the gateway. Commander Angus, the officers, and the archers had already retreated.
She blinked quietly and slowly turned around.
Ellen quietly swallowed dry saliva as her gaze was pitch black.
Heyla was still fluttering her red cloak. Even now, it was easily enough to cover a decent building, but when you think of the hell that had just unfolded, it was in a fairly shrunken state.
But that didn’t mean it was weak.
The cloak of blood was pulsating powerfully, and the magical power felt was just as strong as before.
Additionally, her jet-black hair was shiny as if she had applied perfume, her cheeks were as flushed as flowers blooming, and her lips were moist as if they were covered in dew.
Ellen looked at Hayla and frowned quietly. Because she looked more beautiful than before.
‘•… “no way.’
At that moment, a terrible idea crossed Ellen’s mind.
‘No, no.’
But she quickly shook off her doubts. Doubting Heyla in front of her would be like doubting the man she cherishes most in the world.
Heyla approached Ellen as she composed herself.
Even her slowly blinking eyes and leisurely gait could not lessen her presence and intimidation. The mercenaries and soldiers gathered around stiffened, like frogs encountering a snake.
Ellen clenched her small fists and tried to keep a calm face.
“It seemed like he wanted to hide his identity, but I guess he’s given up now?”
“Is there anyone who thinks this is blood magic?”
“of course. Eventually, the rumor will spread, and people who might know will notice.”
Hayla quietly shook her head and opened her mouth.
“Maybe so. doesn’t care.”
“… … “It doesn’t matter?”
“I realized there were more important things to do than hiding my identity.”
“Something more important?”
«Ugh» Hmm*
Thanks to taking a covenant when she injured her leg, Ellen has grown about 3 centimeters taller over the past few months. And yet now, her Ellen, her Hayla, standing in front of her, was looking down at her from a high point above her.
No, it wasn’t that high up.
Because Ellen felt intimidated, Hayla seemed larger than she actually was.
Hayla just blinked and didn’t seem to have any intention of providing further explanation.
In the end, it was Ellen who opened her mouth again.
“what is that?”
“that?”
“It’s more important than hiding your identity.”
” ah.”
Hayla lowered her head for a moment and smoothed the gloves on her hands. There were only three diamond-shaped designs remaining on the left hand and two on the right.
It didn’t matter. On a bright moonlit night, new flower petals will soon bloom with the light of the stars.
“… … Protecting your destiny.”
“fate?”
Oh O ” “〒
“What nonsense is that?”
Ellen, who was frowning, momentarily closed her mouth. She remembered what Hayla had said to her the other day.
-Our child will lead the Blood Knights to conquer the continent. He became a true blood king. That’s our destiny.
Along with those words, my eyes that were burning without any emotion also came to mind.
“No way, you.”
“That’s why I need you.”
“what?”
“Because you are the one with the highest value.”
Ellen looked up into eyes that sparkled like glass. Then, in an instant, she raised her mana and deployed her ‘Wind Fist’.
“Ictum (break down)!”
Following the wand’s command, a strong wind blew and attacked Heila. however,
Tuong
The cloak of blood fluttering in the air instantly blocked the wind fist. And almost at the same time, he attacked Ellen.
“stop!”
Archer Kol quickly drew his bowstring and aimed at Heyla’s eyes. Even in the face of her sharp arrowhead, Hayla remained unfazed.
“You can’t stop me with arrows.”
“Just shut up and back off.”
“Hmm.”
As Heyla let out a small snort, Kol glanced upward. Before we knew it, Ellen was hanging inside her bloody cloak.
“Keueuuuu-”
Thick blood was constricting her neck, waist, and both arms. After checking Ellen’s condition, Cole continued speaking calmly.
“for a moment.”
“hmm?”
“I understand roughly what the situation is. “Do you want Poynix?”
“I can assure you, nothing good will come out of this method. “Phoinix will try to tear you to death.”
As Hayla blinked quietly, Kol quickly spoke.
“Thanks to you, Ellen and we were saved, so now the princess has taken the opportunity. Poinix is a person with clear rewards and punishments. Besides, the princess is a beautiful person-”
Tung.
Without stopping to speak, Cole let go of his protest. Because huge thorns sprouted from his bloody cloak and rushed at him.
“Keueuuuuu!”
The tip of the red thorn pierced the trunk of his shoulder. Seeing Cole stuck on the ground like a stuffed insect, his colleagues, who were clutching their weapons, shouted and rushed at him.
“What are you doing?”
“Oops, X8-”
Amias, Steedman, and Mira attacked with their weapons, but were swept away by the cloak of blood and were sent flying far away.
Hayla quietly touched her cheek. The blood gushing from the spot where the arrowhead passed darkly stains his velvet gloves.
I brought it in.
She approached Kol. The cloak of blood was shaking wildly, and dozens of thorns were sticking out.
As Kol reached around his waist with his right hand and pulled out the dagger, another thorn came out and cut the back of his hand.
“Kkoaaak!”
“You have to be careful with your mouth when dealing with nobles.”
“Ugh, what a bitch-”
w O ugh”
—“S’.
The third and fourth thorns pierced Kol. He was foaming at the mouth and twisting his body, unable to scream properly.
The eyes that had stopped blinking looked down at Cole for a long time.
“… … “There can be no exceptions.”
“Huh, huh-”
“Because principles are important. What’s more important than that is emotions.”
Hayla asked herself what to do, then walked leisurely and got on the black horse. Atilia, who was carried in her saddle, also clung to her bloody cloak.
” ah.”
Heyla, who was about to take the reins, looked down at Kol and asked.
“Where are the barbarians? “Did you say his name was Hatanka Utequwai?”
“… … Oh, Mr. Hatanka?”
Cole gave a rare smile.
“fuck you. “Why don’t you go ask your father?”
The fifth thorn entered his mouth and pierced his cheek.
Leaving behind a tearing scream, Hayla lifted the reins. She was heading beyond the remains of the gate and fence, toward the place where the loud noises had come from earlier.
