My Villains Episode 202

45. Crow’s Castle (2)

A dark dawn with the moon and stars obscured by dark clouds. A fierce pillar of fire illuminated the rainy forest hill.

It was a pillar of fire that started as Ellen poured flames down the hill.

The pillar of fire soared over 5 or 6 meters using oil and mana as fuel. The red flames scatter cloudy, acrid smoke in all directions while engulfing wet weeds and roots, crackling! He made a loud noise.

However, there were no mercenaries listening to the sound now.

“Keeeeeeeeeeee!”

This was because so many figures emerged from the darkness and screamed that the end could not be seen.

“Kkiiyat!”

At the head of the mercenaries, pony-haired Fritz screamed like a barbarian and brandished a small sword and an iron flail.

It was tempting to flinch at the violent spirit that seemed to have no regard for defense, but the opponent was a vampire.

“Kiyaaaak—1”

Tenvierma’s descendants had been unable to suck blood for quite some time, so their sanity was almost gone.

They threw themselves like animals at the mercenaries, waving their dark red tentacles from their three-pronged maw.

Good, good, good-!”

Fritz, in a frenzy, thrust the silver sword he was holding in his left hand into the mouth of a vampire, then let go of the sword handle and fumbled around his waist.

Several vampires attacked him like a moon, taking advantage of the opportunity, but their heads were repeatedly broken by the flaming iron balls of the flails.

“These guys are worse than bug shit!”

Even as he babbled non-stop, Fritz took out a glass bottle, popped the cap off with his front teeth, and drank it down in one go.

No, I didn’t inhale it.

He puffed out his chest by sucking in air through his nose, with his mouth full of something.

“Fuuuu-!”

He squirted water out of his mouth like a spray bottle!

“You crazy bastard, what are you doing?”

Gidon, the crossbowman who was frowning, soon widened his eyes.

“Kee, kiyaaaak!”

This is because the vampires who were hit by the water that Fritz sprayed started making smoke and screaming.

“… … Surely, holy water?”

Fritz burst into laughter as if responding to the blunt mutterings of Esson.

“Ki-ha! “It is a sacred breath from the Lord of Light!”

Gidon shouted from behind, ‘This is blasphemy, you son of a bitch!’ He shouted. But Fritz, as if he couldn’t even hear the loud voice, chuckled, raised his silver sword, grabbed it, and ran towards the staggering vampires after being baptized with holy water.

Some distance away from where Fritz was running wild with his ponytail flying, the freckled mummy took a deep breath.

“Sigh,”

When a vampire in the shape of a middle-aged woman attacked with a sharp yell, Mira quickly took a step back.

At the same time, he deflected his long-nailed arm with his shield, dexterously swung his long sword, and pierced the vampire’s eyes with the tip.

“Kyaak!”

As the vampire stumbled, spilling thick bodily fluids, Mira stopped walking backwards and stretched out her weight on the long sword.

Sigh! The long sword she was holding was something she had obtained from Longville some time ago, and was a magic sword imbued with some kind of spell. Thanks to this, its sharpness and hardness were at an extraordinary level.

Moreover, because the blade was coated with holy water, Mira’s attack was something even a low-level vampire could not withstand.

“Well, ugh-”

The vampire whose neck had been pierced fell to his knees and then turned into dust. Mira didn’t stop there and walked between her vampire ears with cat-like swift steps.

“Don’t get too close, there’s no room to swing your weapon!”

It was the shout of Confire, a veteran mercenary. He constantly encouraged those around him, wriggling the large scar around his mouth.

“Hey, are you guys wearing decorations on your waist? “Stop shaking and stand in the back row, you idiots!”

Confire lashed out at the merchants hiding in the rear, while hurling the triangular shield he held in his left hand.

He plunged the edge of his metal-rimmed shield into the maw of the charging vampire. He then raised his shield upward, tilted back the vampire’s neck, and slashed her under the uvula with his silver-plated longsword.

Unlike Mira and Confire, who showed off their agile and skillful movements, some mercenaries dealt with the vampires in a very ignorant way.

“Here, here! “Live in this sister’s warm arms!”

The heavy soldier dervish shouted like that and struck the heavy iron shield with the blade of his axe.

Kang, Kang! At the loud noise she made, four or five of her vampires rushed at her at once.

She was wearing thick scale armor and was equipped with a helmet, gloves, and shins made of steel. Moreover, she had covered her face and neck with a chain veil (aventail), so all that was visible was her dark yellow eyes.

“Kiyaa-ak!”

The vampires attacked fiercely, but the dervish bowed without even blinking and held out its shield. Because she was over 180cm tall, even her bowed posture was very intimidating.

As the two vampires who rushed in first held on to the iron shield, the dervish moved about half a step to the right and let go of the shield. As the two vampires rolled around on the floor, Grumpy Esson, who had been lurking behind them, came out.

“Ugh, cha-!”

He struck down the pole hammer with a loud shout. The holy water that soaked his hammer head splashed in all directions, and the vampire’s head, which was drooling between its cracked jaws, was instantly smashed.

Meanwhile, the dervish was dealing with other vampires, holding an ax with an elongated handle with both hands.

“Huh!”

She let out a yell with heavy breathing and lashed out as if she were cutting an axe.

The vampire who was attacking was struck in the face by the sack and stumbled sideways, and the latter was torn apart from the top of his head to his chest by the ax that the dervish swung with all its might.

“Ugh,”

As she was about to retrieve the axe, another vampire lunged and attacked her. The vampire, with strength far exceeding that of her assailant, grabbed her by the arms and shoulders and opened her maw.

eww_”

Kwakagak!

Fortunately for the dervish, the vampire’s jagged teeth were stuck in the vambrace. Even while his teeth were grinding and breaking from biting into the hard steel, the vampire wrapped his tentacle-like tongue around his arm and chewed on his mouth.

“Kkieek!”

While the dervish was struggling with the vampire holding her left arm, the one who had been stumbling after being hit by the sack came to his senses and lunged at her.

“Oh my, what a dog-”

Just as the dervish was about to give up its head, the vampire that had attacked jumped away with a ‘squeak’ sound. The guy who rolled about 5 meters away was pierced in the side by a heavy arrow.

Gigi Geek-

The one who shot the arrow was archer Cole. He was measuring arrows on the bow used by Anupad Archer called ‘Halfblood Juama’.

This mysterious bow with a dark yellow color was a composite bow as long as any longbow. Thanks to this, the tension was so great that only a handful of mercenaries could pull the string, and even Cole, who had been constantly training with the help of Phoenix and Utequai, could pull the string about ten times before breaking his shoulder. My elbows were getting tingly.

Of course, the power of the bow was as great as its tension.

Tooung!

The moment Cole let go of his bow, a yellow flash flashed from the bow’s barrel, and the heavy arrow shot out in an instant, skewering the three vampires.

“Inhale!”

Dervish, whose life was saved thanks to Cole’s help, swallowed his breath and tilted his head back. She then pulled her chin with all her might and headbutted the vampire holding her.

bang!

“ZL gegg-”

Even though all the teeth that were chewing on the vambrace were shattered, the vampire that attacked the dervish held on tenaciously.

The dervish gritted his teeth.

“Hey, you fucking bastard!” As the headbutts rained down on her two and three times, the vampire eventually rolled her eyes and collapsed.

While the dervish, who had adjusted his posture, swung his ax to finish off the persistent vampire, Simos, who had rescued the charcoal builder’s family with Hayla, stepped forward holding his long sword.

“Fluitro fulgurnon (flowing thunderbolt)—!”

Simos chanted a spell and traced the blade with his palm. Then, following his touch, a flashing electric current rose up and enveloped the blade.

It was the ‘Blue Blade’ spell, an electric type of magic.

The blue light of the blade illuminated Simos, causing his dark gray hair to turn blue. At that moment, the one-eyed swordsman Si Moss became ‘Blue-footed Mosis’, the magic enemy for whom she was infamous in the southern part of the kingdom, and extended her long sword.

Sigh!

“Crack scratch-”

The vampire who had been stabbed in the shoulder by an electrified blade trembled with his jaw split to the left and right and his long tongue hanging out. Even if a vampire was no better than an undead, their body was a replica of a human’s, so they were paralyzed by the electric current flowing through their body and felt pain.

“Hwaap-”

Moses pushed forward with his sword still inserted, and the electrocuted vampire fell backwards without any resistance.

with a plop!

The moment the vampire fell into a small puddle, Moses gritted his teeth and used Mana. It was not intended to emit electricity, but to control it.

Do it yourself!

Blue electricity spread across the wet ground, accompanied by a sound as if thick cloth was being torn.

Thanks to Moses’ desperate attempts to control the weak mana, the current only spread forward.

“Kerrr-”

At that moment, more than twenty vampires stopped running and collapsed, rolling their eyes.

“Huh, huh-”

While Moses extinguished the blue light of his longsword and took a deep breath, Steedman with tight hair, Esanna with braided hair, and Umberta from the Crescent Islands quickly jumped out and finished off the falling vampires.

Meanwhile, Utequai, standing on the right side of the Oressa tavern, was swinging his dolme as if he was swinging a broom.

“Mmm!”

With a voice that was more like a roar than a shout, the massive stone maul, whose head was a rock larger than the body of a child, accelerated in an instant.

The vampires caught up in the blurry trajectory thus formed flew up into the night sky, bursting or being crushed somewhere. And soon it turned into dust, scattered in the wind, and disappeared in the raindrops.

Even though six or seven of their compatriots disappeared with every breath, the vampires did not seem to have any doubts or fear. It was clear to see that it was running towards Utequai like a moth.

“Whoa-”

Utequai was not without fatigue. His long, muscular body was hot, and the early morning rain that had flowed down his reddish-brown skin turned into whitish vapor that cascaded over his broad shoulders.

“Huh.”

But Utequai had a big smile on his face. This was because he was not very happy with the heat he felt after a long time.

Poynix, who was standing on the other side, was feeling a little annoyed, unlike Utequai.

“Oh really-”

‘There really is no end.’

Even while Poynix was grumbling internally, he showed off his brilliant swordsmanship based on his monster-like physical abilities.

The elbows and wrists were softly curved, the shoulders and chest were vigorously lifted, the waist and hips were stiff yet flexible, and the feet were as light as a feather.

Phoenix raised the Hrunting held with both hands above his forehead and swung it around fiercely. He shifted his feet, sliding back and forth and left and right at the same time.

Shoo! Countless vampires were cut off by the red line drawn with a roaring sound. The sword strike was so fast that the chest and waist were split before the headless body fell.

The severed head, torso, and limbs turned into dust and disappeared before forming a small mound.

“Oops, x8-”

Phoenix cursed and stretched out his left hand forward.

The magical power that extended through the outstretched palm caught the vampires’ bodily fluids that were flying everywhere. Just before the cursed fluids crumbled to dust, Phoenics clenched her fist.

Magical power as powerful as that of any wizard exploded,

Quagga fanatic!

Blood poured out everywhere. More than twenty vampires were torn to shreds of blood.

Compared to the spectacular effect of bloodbathing, it was less efficient than a simple knife cut, but it was perfect for getting rid of frustration.

And as if in response to the explosion, the fireballs fired by Ellen fell one after another among the vampires.

Thanks to you, Poi felt a little relieved.

The Knicks were trying to raise Hrunting again.

“Kkeeeeeeeee-!”

A crying sound that was now becoming increasingly tiresome rang out.

Phoenix muttered softly, ‘Oh, I don’t want to hear it,’ and suddenly the vampires who were attacking him stopped.

For a moment, Tenvierma’s family retreated like the ebb of the tide.

“Pity, *huh, huh* Pity. “What is this again?”

Steedman was out of breath and looked around suspiciously, but the vampires, who were still swarming around like a pack of dogs, seemed to have lost interest in the group and just turned around and ran away.

“… … Are you backing down?”

“Huh, I survived.”

Just as the ranks were about to break up, archer Cole, veteran Conwyer, and ponytail Fritz shouted.

“Be careful, don’t let your guard down!”

“Do the kids who stick their butts to the floor have shit on their heads?”

“Okay, wake up, you pigs! “The fight isn’t over yet!”

Fritz’s shout, which seemed to be somehow mixed with the wind, was meaningless. The vampires, who remained on guard for several minutes, disappeared into the darkness and did not reappear.

Strange silence.

Poynix slowly raised his head with an inexplicable sense of discomfort. The rain, which had been pouring down hard just a moment ago, suddenly stopped.

As some time passed, Cole and Conwyr let down their guard.

A thick fog covered the pale sunlight shining brightly in the distance.
