My Villains Episode 208

45. Into the fog (8)

As I took a few steps forward, Soleva’s vertical pupils on Drake turned towards me.

Since there is still a distance anyway, it is impossible to attack first. Let’s dig up some information first.

I slowly opened my mouth while looking at Soleva.

“I am Knight Phoenix!”

“article?”

Since he answered without raising his voice very much, he must have been using some kind of magic or a magical tool.

“Yes, knight!”

“Hoo. Then what about you-?”

Utekwai, who was holding the dolme with both hands, opened his mouth with a reluctant face.

“Ute kwai! “I am Utekwa, the great warrior of the Rikuwa tribe!”

“Daejeon Temple? Champion-er?”

Soleva said, ‘Oh!’ And she let out an exclamation full of laughter and flicked her tongue.

“A knight and a great warrior! “That’s interesting.”

I couldn’t see it clearly because of the distance, but it seemed like its vertical pupils narrowed sharply.

“… … But I’m so sorry, now not as a star-maker, but as a poor traveler! “I have to make a request to you.”

“request?”

“yes! Like many travelers who leave their hometowns, I also need a way. “I need a peaceful path that will lead me out of this damn fog and back to my longing home!”

“however?”

“According to my guess, no-”

Soleva continued speaking while tapping her muzzle, or rather, the back of her nose.

“If I smelled correctly, um, did you say Lord Hoi Minh?”

“Poy nix.”

“Ah, yes, Lord Phoenix. homage day

“In line,”

Soleva slowly raised her arm and pointed upward with her finger. It felt as if long, sharp claw-like nails were touching the ceiling of pale smoke. This is because the Drake he was riding was that big.

“It seems like there is someone who created this road. Yes?”

As I remained silent, Soleva blinked her bloody eyelids and opened her mouth. A long line of her spit hung from the tips of her sharp teeth.

“Jeong-daap!”

… … Is that really a smile?

“Right? Yes? “It’s clear from the look on your face!”

The guy said, ‘Hey haha-!’ And he burst into laughter.

“I’m happy to confirm that both my sense of smell and my magical aptitude are normal! “I was worried that I was going to lose my mind after wandering around in this crazy fog for so many days!” Soleva, her face contorted into a grotesque shape, scratched her stomach with her rein hand. When I heard her voice, she seemed to be in a very good mood.

Soleva, who had been celebrating for a while, suddenly stopped laughing and placed both hands on Drake’s spine.

“Well then – I ask you politely, could you please open the way for my return?”

I quietly scratched my eyebrows and then shrugged my shoulders.

“I’m sorry, but that’s not possible.”

“… … yes? What does that mean?”

“If we had been able to create this passage at will, we would have gotten out of here a long time ago.”

“then… …

“If you want to get out of this damn fog, you have to follow the passage to the end. “That’s the only way.”

I continued, pointing backwards with the tip of my thumb.

“Hey, do you see the passage closing? “Don’t you think he’s urging us to move forward quickly?” Soleva, who had been quietly looking behind her, held out her hand, jingling the golden rings she held in her left hand.

“This Soleva, as someone who is expert in magic, I don’t understand. “It was obviously one of you who opened the passage, but you have to walk all the way down the passage to get out of here?”

“that… … . Well, anyway, there are circumstances like that.”

“That’s an incredibly weak answer. “I am disappointed, Sir Fomin.”

… … Who is Pomin again?

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

“I can’t help it even though I’m disappointed.”

I continued talking, secretly clenching and unclenching the hand holding the javelin.

“If you want to go back to your hometown, follow this passage all the way. Then you will come across a castle, and if you kill the owner of the castle, the fog will completely disappear. “Is it easy?”

Soleva’s face distorted again. Unlike before, the bridge of her nose was wrinkled ugly.

“It’s a castle. “Do you mean to go into the center of the fog?”

“okay. Or get out of this passage

“You can try wandering through the fog again.”

“This is crazy.”

“Well, that’s true. “It’s a fog that sends shivers down your spine.”

“no. “I’m not talking about the fog.”

As Soleva gently pulled the reins, Drake walked slowly. The soles of his feet, twice as big as a normal person, left deep marks on the damp road.

“Ha, your liver is also big. You’re going to the castle. ‘Do you know what’s in there?’

“… … Well, well. “What is there?”

“I don’t know either.”

What is this body? Chatter like you know.

Just as I narrowed my eyebrows and was about to open my mouth to say something, Soleva narrowed her pupils and added.

“But as I just said, there are no problems with my sense of smell or magical aptitude. Thanks to this, I was able to smell an ominous smell from the castle you mentioned, and I also found out who the owner of that smell was.”

“… … “Who is that?”

Soleva’s face was horribly distorted and her long tongue lashed out.

“The darkness that swallows up the light, the origin of all evil, the enemy of Nakto (樂土), the true master of the nine dimensions.”

Soleva must have been pleased to see my hardened face, so her expression changed. A disgusting distortion that has already been shown. It was a smile.

“okay. “I felt the power of the ‘Dark Lord.’”

“Of course, the Dark Lord did not appear in Middle-earth directly. It’s probably a trace left by his servant Bok. But that’s it. Anyway, the castle you mentioned is under the Dark Lord’s plans. “Attack a place like that?”

The red-scaled dragon suddenly forgot his lively or polite tone and continued to growl.

“You can’t fool me. No one on earth would dare do that.”

“stop!”

The person who shouted at Soleva was none other than Utequoi. He warned Soleva while holding Dolme with both hands.

“Stop right there! “If you come any closer, I’ll attack!”

indeed.” Soleva pulled the reins to a halt and looked down at Ute Kwai.

“You have the spirit of a warrior. Do you like it.”

The guy hissed as if he was taking a bite, and then lifted his chin slightly. And then we looked at the hills behind us.

“So I’ll give you a chance. Bring the magician who created this passage. “I have something to ask him.”

“Darran sidym, you can’t ask for more from us! “Get back!”

“You foolish human, you did not understand what I meant. “I’m not making a request.”

Soleva looked down at us with a sinister look in her eyes beneath her black conical hat.

“If you want to save your life, give me the magician.”

… … Well, I was hoping for a moment that I might be able to use it, but I guess I was wrong.

“Erpen Th-ral! “You can’t threaten us!”

“Ute Kwai, wait-!” After barely stopping the angry Utequai, I turned toward Soleva.

“You too, stop for a moment! “I’ll teach you another way!”

“other way?”

“A way to get out of here! “It’s impossible for us, but it’s possible for you.”

“… … “What is that?”

When Soleva showed curiosity, I walked slowly and continued talking.

“Before I teach you how, do you know what causes this fog?”

“… … I’m just guessing. “Isn’t the vampire who owns this territory up to something crazy?”

“It’s similar, but a little different. “That vampire created a quasi-dimensional space for his own greed, and the Dark Knight took it away.”

“The Dark Knight… …

Soleva opened her mouth slightly and shook her head.

“Right. That’s why I felt the power of the Dark Lord.”

“The name of the Dark Knight is…” … . They say ‘Achillemnur’. “Do you know anything?”

“Hmm, I’m not sure. It’s hard to find a Dark Knight even underground, and it’s not very common to hear his name… … . But why did the Dark Knight appear in this mountainous territory? “What on earth is here?”

“I don’t know about that. “Do you have any guesses?”

w O ugh” —

Soleva silently crossed her arms and scratched the back of her neck with her hook-like nails.

He said, ‘Let’s see. ‘From what I’ve seen around here recently-‘ I muttered.

By the end of the day, I was about 40 or 50 meters in front of him.

As I walked quietly and adjusted the javelin hidden behind my back, I happened to make eye contact with Drake.

Crrr-

Did he read something in my eyes? Drake suddenly growled and shook his head.

“Oh no, Chialemo, stop!”

Soleva, who was deep in thought, pulled the reins, but Drake continued to make a vicious sound that sounded like scratching his neck.

“Cialemo, Chialemo! Why is this guy suddenly-”

Then, suddenly, the vertical pupils filled with curiosity turned in this direction, and I jumped up, stepping on the large rock in front of me.

“Hmm-”

I took a deep breath and tensed the muscles of my entire body. And just as a bow shot an arrow, the javelin was launched with all its might!

“Lanet ol,”

A javelin was suddenly lodged in Soleva’s shoulder as she was babbling.

“Sigh-”

Oh, shit. I aimed for the exact center of his chest, but missed as Drake struggled against him.

Even though I was hit in the shoulder with a javelin with all my might, Soleva managed to hang on to Drake’s back.

“Attack-!”

With Steedman’s shout, the mercenaries who were lying down jumped forward. Of course, Ute Kwai was running far ahead of them.

Landing on the floor, I pulled out another javelin and threw myself to the side.

This is because the Drake of Soleva bared his vicious teeth.

Sigh-!

Even after the blade-sharp fangs grazed my toes, I had to roll my body around. This is because Drake’s attacks were persistent.

As I was rolling around on the floor and recovering my posture, I caught a glimpse of Soleva. He was holding out something pale from beneath her ornate robe. It was something that looked exactly like a horn.

Wait a minute, that can’t be… … .

“no-!”

I threw the javelin with a desperate cry, but

Phew.

The attack was blocked by Drake’s huge body.

Keueeek-!

Drake, who had a javelin stuck in his thick neck, screamed and shook his body. However, the point of the spear was crushed and the javelin that got stuck between the scales could not be pulled out easily.

At the same time, a bloody sound like a ‘wedge’ was heard from behind. They were two rays of blue light, frost awls fired by Ellen.

However, Ellen’s spell was also blocked by Drake. As the powerful magical frost auger dug into his shoulder, Drake let out another deafening scream.

“Ns, Qorckli, pargey—”

Soleva spoke a language she had never heard before and brought the object she had taken out of her arms to her mouth.

Archer Cole shot an arrow from far behind, but the white horn was already in its mouth, which resembled a lizard’s. The arrow, which gave off a yellow flash and split the air, reached its target only after the dragon’s magic horn sounded silently.

Break!

“Ugh-”

A long arrow struck the tip of the horn and shattered it. Then Soleva, who was barely hanging on to the staggering Drake, ended up falling to the floor in a bad way.

Now all I had to do was run over and cut off its head, but I couldn’t do that. Not only me, but everyone in our group did the same.

“W-what is this!”

“Yeom, byeonghal-! “It’s magic!”

The name of the horn that Soleva blew was ‘Ancient Dragon’s Horn’, and it was a powerful magic tool that paralyzed all those in its area of ​​influence.

okay. As one mercenary said, we ended up under a spell.

No, but – why did Soleva lift that?

Are you doing it?

I put my doubts aside and tried to move my body. However, my paralyzed body from the chin down could not feel anything, let alone move.

Cr-

Drake, who was bleeding from his neck and shoulder, approached me as I was unable to even move.

“Oh no, sir-”

Just before being swallowed by Drake’s smelly maw.

“Wait, stop!”

Soleva, who had been rolling around on the floor, stood up shakily.

“Huh, huh. Chialemo, stop!”

Cry!

Drake scratched the ground with his back foot a couple of times, but Soleva didn’t even look at him.

“Huh, how dare you. “How dare you hurt me?”

Soleva pulled out her javelin with a groan and her face fell. Surprisingly, the expression he made was a smile… … .

“Oh, this professionalism is so… … . I am an unavoidable entertainer. Even as my vision went dark from being hit by your spear, I was mesmerized by your beautiful appearance. I first thought that I wanted to show the scene I saw to my friends. “It’s crazy.”

… … Oh my, you crazy bastard. What on earth are you talking about?

“Ah, lovely talent. It’s shining. Cucumbers.”

He called me the wrong name, but I didn’t bother to point it out, just struggling to break the paralysis.

“If it were you, *sigh*, yes. You can become a star. The beautiful star that attracts everyone in the underworld will become the first human to conquer the goddess’s arena… …

As he said that, he scattered the golden rings he was holding in his left hand to the floor. The jingling golden rings stretched out like rubber and settled on the floor.

Ugh.

Black light flowed from inside the large golden ring. It felt like there was a hole.

Let’s do that for a while. The five holes in the floor spat out lumps, and as the black light disappeared, the golden ring also shrunk to its original shape.

“… … “What is this again, X-arm?”

Soleva chuckled lowly at my muttering.

“Yeah, that would be funny. These guys are the only ones I have kept because they are treasures. Cucumbers, nothing compares to you. No problem. never.”

The five lumps that appeared from the hole pierced by the golden ring were all living, breathing humans.

“Ugh,”

“Hmm.”

The five people woke up, shaking like zombies. And he looked back at Soleva as if waiting for an order.

“Let’s see.” “Who was the one who fell the most out of all of them?”

As Soleva was looking at the five people carefully, a loud voice came from behind.

“Urwha, tanka ti iya’uten, na!” It was Utequai’s shout. The guy didn’t stop there and continued to scream in the language of the grasslands.

I couldn’t turn around because my body was frozen, but I could guess who he was talking to. This was because one of the five people sticking out from the golden ring had an unfamiliar yet familiar demeanor.

A reddish-skinned man with long braided hair and a white and red feather decoration hanging from his shoulders. Yes, he was definitely a warrior of the plains.

“Ohh. “Are they the same species?” Soleva looked back and forth between the Plains Warriors and the Utequai from the Golden Ring.

“Yeah, I guess so. This guy said he was just a warrior, so his rank is lower than that of a great warrior. “At first glance, the size difference is significant.”

He muttered as if he was giving a review and then slowly raised his hand.

“Come on, Altanka.”

“……Siwha?”

“Your replacement has appeared.”

The warrior of the plains looked at Soleba for a moment with dark eyes, then pulled out the ax hanging from his belt.

and-

Pop!

It was like splitting one’s own head.

“Tankanae—!”

When Utequai roared in anger, Soleva looked back at him, licking her tongue.

“Why are you so angry? “I will take you to a place fit for a warrior.”

“Ugh-!”

Even though it is quite far away, a loud growling sound can be heard.

… … This seems like a pretty good sign.

“I am Daejeonsa!”

Utequai’s shout continued.

“You will not become a slave.”

“Oh, this is crazy!”

Soleva’s vertical pupils widened.

And I saw the Utequoi emitting black light within, no,

“Wow!”

I saw a berserker.
