My Villains Episode 181

43. Struggle (1)

I haven’t slept all winter.

Every time I closed my eyes, even for a moment, I had a dream.

I haven’t gone out all winter.

I didn’t have the strength to go looking for the lost autumn.

I haven’t turned on my cell phone this winter.

With each phone call and each message, I was bombarded with news I didn’t want to hear.

I haven’t opened the window all winter.

Byeongjang Moon, Jiwon, Bobpuri, Soha, and Heewon, as well as his biological father and adoptive father, came to visit one after another.

I haven’t changed my clothes all winter.

The patient clothes brought from the hospital were clean and without any stains.

The spring we welcomed like that,

It was colder than winter.

“……Ah”

I stood up, shaking off my dust-covered hair. Then I groped the floor and picked up Hrunting.

Ugh, the goal rings. It feels like my head is going to break. How long have you been passed out?

“You monster.”

When I looked towards the direction from which the voice came, I saw a knight wearing a deer horn helmet slowly taking a step back.

Hmm, I think I fainted for about 5 seconds.

I massaged the back of his neck and looked at the deer antlers. A knight and four or five heavy soldiers could be seen behind the guy with one of his horns broken.

The rest, of course, were lying dead and scattered here and there. Perhaps because I was fighting against the enemies who surrounded me while standing in a narrow space, a hill of corpses rose up low over the farmland where I fought.

… … I don’t think they killed 60 or 70 people, but looking at it like this, it looks like a lot.

Well, considering that more than half of them were heavily armed regular soldiers, it was not a small number. My monster-like body is so strong that it almost screams.

I spat out the dirt that was in my mouth and walked towards the deer-horned knight. The guy was so startled that he half-turned his body and took a hasty step back.

“damn.”

Seeing that, I got so annoyed that I picked up the ax that was lying at my feet. From my experience, it is a war ax that seems to weigh 3 to 4 kilos.

I threw that heavy piece of iron with all my might. The sound of the fierce wind ‘heungheung’, and-

Sigh!

Because the ax was not a weapon I was very familiar with, I was unable to hit the deer horn knight.

Instead, the heavy soldier next to him fell backwards with an ax blade stuck in his head. Perhaps because his head was suddenly split open, he couldn’t even scream.

Hmm, this tastes really good too.

Of course, I didn’t feel that much satisfaction. It was not enough to calm the stomach that was heated by battle and slaughter… … .

“O” —–9

Ah, here it is again.

Perhaps after losing consciousness for a moment, dirty and cruel desires arise uncontrollably.

“Ha-huu.”

I stood up and took a deep breath.

The fishy smell that invaded my nose made my mouth water, but I tried to calm my mind. Soon, consciousness becomes clearer.

With half-opened eyes, I looked at the staghorn knight and the remnants who were running away.

They weren’t the only ones running away.

The main body of Multingham’s army, which had escaped Longville by crossing the remains of the fence and gate, was marching towards the garrison to the west. They look like hedgehogs with thorns, watching me with alert eyes and walking away.

I looked at them quietly and then sat down. It was because the heat had subsided and I no longer felt like fighting.

But wait a minute. Why did I faint?

Oh yeah. I barely managed to deal with the knights that stuck to me like leeches, but I was hit by a pillar of light that came from somewhere and bounced away like a bowling pin.

… … Uh, pillar of light?

When I suddenly looked up, a white pillar of light was rushing towards me from the western sky. It was a spear of power.

“This guy-”

I quickly rolled over, but the spear of power changed direction in the air as if it had eyes and struck me.

bang!

“Off.”

In the game, the Spear of Power was a short-range, single-hit knockback spell. The damage is so terrible that it is treated as a bamboo spear technique.

But can you extend the range of such a spell with the power of a magic circle? You even said ‘Guided’ there?

Isn’t this really taking it too far? Don’t the saboteurs of Multingham have a conscience?

“Now is the time, shoot!”

At the faint sound of a shout, I coughed and rolled on the floor.

Luckily, I had a fairly large heater shield handy. I quickly raised my shield and covered the vital points.

Doo doo doo-duk-

“eww. It sucks, really.”

The barrage of arrows continued for a long time. Looking under the shield, there were no infantry approaching.

I guess they’re trying to tie my feet so they can’t chase me… … .

“Just get out of here! “I won’t chase you!” Even though I screamed like that, they kept shooting arrows. Yes, there is no way you will listen obediently to what the enemy says.

To make matters worse, a purple sphere flew in from the west. It was a sphere of destruction.

There was no way for me to fight back since they were just blowing the main door like that from about 300 meters away.

Wow, this is driving me crazy… … .

Even as I gritted my teeth, I moved into a crouching position to block the arrows. I picked up the polearm I had been eyeing, stepped on the pole, and broke it in half.

Then, taking advantage of the moment when the arrow stopped, he threw the shortened spear toward the sky. The spear flew fiercely past my ear and pierced the slowly flying orb of destruction.

Pretzel Gwang-!

My eyes were colored by a flash of light that exploded in the air, and my ears rang from the explosion of sound.

After withstanding the shock wave, I randomly picked up the weapons lying on the floor and threw them at the archers.

“Keuok!”

Luckily, the pulse that was thrown first landed on the shoulder of the sergeant leading the archers. Then, as all kinds of weapons, including maces, long swords, spears, and axes, flew at the archers, swearing and running away.

I wanted to jump in among them and run wild like crazy, but there were too many shield soldiers and heavy soldiers.

Moreover, even as the Multingham army was retreating, its discipline was not particularly disturbed. Could it be said that it feels like if I act like I’m crazy and rush at them, those guys will act like they’re crazy too?

And I didn’t have time to pay attention to them. This is because the spear of power has struck again.

I threw away the shield that had about fifteen arrows stuck in it and picked up a round shield that was just big enough to cover my upper body. Then he pulled up the blood that was flowing everywhere.

天 天tsu

———7、、•

Is it because the magic power has become considerably stronger?

The various branches of blood flowed up against gravity and covered the shield. As soon as I completed the shield of blood, I stiffened my posture.

“Sigh,”

Boom!

I took a deep breath and tilted my shield. A pillar of light bounced at an angle soared into the sky.

At first glance, I could see the surprised expressions of the destruction magicians hundreds of meters away. Unlike the guys I dealt with earlier, they were all old people with gray hair and wrinkled faces.

After being surprised for a moment, the three destruction magicians began preparing spells again.

Oh yeah. Speaking of old people, would you like to have an endurance battle with me?

No, what about fighting? This is a situation where you have to be beaten unilaterally, X-arm. While I was cursing under my breath, I suddenly discovered something strange.

“… … “What is that?”

The place where the destruction magicians drew the magic circle was on a small mound. It was a famous place with a wide view of the surrounding area and even soft grass.

Beneath the mound, a group of grasses swayed in particular. It looks like the ground is moving… … .

When something seemed strange and I narrowed my eyes –

“uh? Ugh!”

A figure rose from the floor onto the mound!

A cape full of grass, short hair flowing around the shoulders, a small face and long limbs… … .

“bundle?”

Yes, it was a bunch.

As soon as he jumped onto the mound, he stretched out his arms towards the saboteurs. A crossbow the size of his palm was shot from his arm, and an old man with a long beard fell down, clutching his chest.

“It’s a surprise attack!”

“Stop it—!”

The magnificent guards shouted, but they did not even turn their gaze towards the gathered soldiers. The guy kicked his feet in the air and shot towards the saboteurs.

Light movements like a swallow. The physical arts skills ‘Kite (燕)’ and ‘So (推)’ were deployed one after another.

A knife was stuck in the back of an old man who was trying to run away, and a heel was stuck in the mouth of an old man who was trying to say something. It was a ninjutsu-type skill, and a martial arts-type skill called ‘dang (po)’.

“He’s an assassin!”

“Master Acto has been defeated!”

As the guards turned on their eyes and attacked, the bunch rolled between their legs, somersaulted over their heads, and fled south.

In the meantime, the guy threw a dagger and sprinkled some kind of powder to shake off the pursuing soldiers.

“catch-!”

“He’s running away, we have to surround him!”

The swords extending from all directions tore several pieces of the bundle’s clothes. Although he received several wounds that were too deep to be considered scratches, he was finally able to escape from the soldiers’ siege.

He quietly disappeared between the main compensation merchants who served as a supply unit… … .

“……ha.”

I was watching the action, and as soon as the bundle disappeared from sight, I let out the breath I had been holding.

Killing the magicians hidden in the army and running away. That kid is really crazy too.

Aside from his stealth skills and body movements, where on earth does that gangster come from?

Well, anyway, I’ll give you lots of praise when you come back. No, a compliment would not be enough.

Hmm, should I give you a belly blowing… … ?

By the time I had such useless thoughts, the Multingham army had already retreated. Just by looking at him, it seemed like his head count had been reduced by about half, and there was no trace of his fighting spirit.

“Is it over…? …

I, who had slaughtered the young saboteurs, five knights, and dozens of soldiers, had a hard time, but those who protected Longville must have had a hard time, too.

With all the gates and barriers collapsed, they would have had to fight a battle in which they were inferior both qualitatively and numerically.

If the Multingham army had been reduced that much, I can’t even imagine how many of our soldiers would have died and been injured.

Oh, by the way, where is Atalanta? Did she really break down her gate?

As I was thinking that, my son-in-law suddenly became dark, as if there were clouds.

Is it going to rain? After all, it is a national rule that it rains after the battle is over.

Looking back, it was like this at South Harbor as well. As the dirty dust and wet blood were washed away by the rain, I realized, ‘Ah, it’s finally over.’

I looked up at the sky, reminiscing about that time. And then, I blinked foolishly.

“……uh?”

It wasn’t the clouds that blocked the sun.

It had been a while since I looked up at the blue sky, but before I knew it, something that looked like a dark red cloth was draped over my head.

Only then did I feel a strong magical power and suddenly turned around.

Tsutsutsutsu _

A woman stood on the remains of the gateway.

“trunnion.”

“you.”

It was Hayla.

I fixed Hrunting and held it.

There was a large spread of blood on her shoulder. The blood was hanging over my head, so I felt like I was trapped in a huge tent.

I was able to immediately recognize what this phenomenon was.

“… … “Blood King’s territory?”

“You recognize me.”

“How did you get this skill?”

I opened my mouth in disbelief.

… … What on earth? Isn’t ‘Blood King’s Territory’ a skill that players can use in the first place?

In the game, the limit was to handle a skill that was one level lower than that. The ‘Blood King’s Orb’ used with the unique dagger ‘Bloodshed’ was a backward compatible skill.

Holding the reins, she stroked the black horse’s mane a couple of times and then led it back. Then she came down slowly, stepping carefully on the messy debris.

Meanwhile, the Blood King’s territory continued to stir. The water seemed to be shaking, and it also felt like a flag was waving.

And between them, I found two women.

“… … “What are you doing?”

Hayla blinked quietly and looked down at me growling.

“calm down.”

天天tsu

■ —■ — 才、•

Streams of blood came out from the fluttering cloak as if a skein of thread had been unraveled. They began to surround Heila starting from the extremities.

“No one has died yet.”

Ellen and Atilia were hanging on the Blood King’s domain that hung over her shoulders.

Atilia, whose gray hair had turned lavender, was bleeding and had fainted, and Ellen was breathing heavily as if her throat was constricted.

“Ha, calm down? “Stop talking nonsense and let those two go.”

“That’s not allowed.”

Hayla’s hands and feet were covered in blood.

As the magical power swirled, the blood became shiny, shiny, dark red pieces.

Rather.

The dark red pieces rose, lay down, and fit together, making a cheerful metallic sound. Soon, Hayla was covered in countless dark red pieces, as if she were wearing full armor or scales.

It was ‘Iron Armor’, a blood fighting skill.

“what do you want?”

“transaction.”

The iron-blooded armor covered her jawline and stopped spreading.

“transaction?”

“huh. “It’s a simple deal.”

Hayla was slowly coming down the wreckage. She took each step carefully, but did not take her eyes off me.

“Let’s go back to Eyland.”

“Then nothing will happen. “To the fire witch and the Nudein female warrior.”

“… … “Are you threatening me?”

“huh.”

Hayla’s face was still expressionless. She feels shameless.

“What if I don’t accept it?”

“… … First, I’m going to kill these two.”

Feet that seemed to be wearing red steel gaiters and footpads stood tall.

Hayla stood on a large stone block and looked down at me. Now that they were close enough, I could clearly see her long eyelashes.

“Then we’ll kill the barbarian warrior and the cute assassin. “The mercenaries who follow you, the Baroness and her vassals, and Prince Ulkar’s men are next.”

A calm declaration followed.

“I’m going to kill everyone alive and breathing in Longville right now.”

“Then, I will take you back to Eyland.”

“Crazy bitch.”

Even though I was spitting out words, Hayla still looked calm.

I gritted my teeth for a moment and then snapped at her.

“Why on earth are you so obsessed with me?”

“I told you. “We are destined.”

“fate? “Stop talking nonsense and tell me the real reason.”

Black eyes blinked slowly.

“I saw you crying.”

“… … what?”

“The day Ayla and Ganix got married. “I saw you crying.”

“I want that. “The very tears that will complete our family, our child, and me.”

Heila whispered to me as I froze.

“I want that.”
