My Villains Episode 219

47. Nightmare (1)

After that, things went smoothly.

The magician, who was screaming that he was going to die, also received a cup of blood from Saitz, and Kelsen, who received it, poured the blood on the throne while chanting an incomprehensible spell.

For a moment, the white surface was stained with red blood. The blood disappeared as if seeping or evaporating.

“It’s done.”

“… … already? “What did you do?”

“It’s a simple ritual. “I tricked the throne into thinking that my previous master, Saitz, was dead.”

“It’s a trick.”

Come to think of it, Seitz said something similar. It is said that the Dark Knight Aquilemnur cast a ‘spell that deceives reason’ on the throne. Is it a similar context?

Ellen, who was watching the ceremony with her arms crossed, suddenly asked a question.

“Is that blood magic?”

“… … “You know blood magic?”

“Roughly.”

Ellen answered briefly and looked at Mibu, who was dressed in rags, as if asking him to answer. With the fire filled in her blue eyes, Kelsene swallowed her dry saliva and opened her mouth.

“It’s similar, but a little different.”

“What’s different?”

“Hmm, I would say it’s something between blood magic and blood magic.”

“… … Is that the end?” As if the answer wasn’t very satisfactory, she narrowed her brows and glared at Kelsenne.

I looked at the two in turn, then scratched my eyebrows and asked Ellen.

“But what is blood magic?”

“… … “Don’t you know blood magic?”

“uh. First time hearing this. “Is it different from blood magic?”

“No, you-”

Ellen, who was about to say something with a dumbfounded expression, glanced around and cleared her throat.

“Hmm. Blood magic is the supernatural ability to manipulate blood, and blood magic is literally magic. “Magic that uses blood as a medium to complete a spell.”

“Using blood as a medium?”

“You’ve said it before. General magic is an act of begging for change in the world. I do not remember?”

“… … I remembered. “I said that when I was arguing with Ethan and Siren.”

“You weren’t arguing, were you?”

Ellen pouted her lips and continued her explanation.

“In order to manifest magic, ordinary wizards do not need spells and mana, so they even prepare bribes, and that bribe is the medium.”

I remember that Ethan and Siren used rune pieces or clay dolls every time they cast a spell.

“So, blood magic is using blood instead of rune pieces or clay dolls to perform magic?”

“that’s right. In the case of general magic, you need to prepare a different medium for each spell, but in blood magic, all spells can be performed using only blood.”

aha.” I blinked for a moment and opened my mouth halfway.

“Wow, then that’s a complete scam. “Isn’t it actually a higher level sorcerer compatibility?”

As soon as I finished speaking, Ellen got upset and frowned.

“Upward compatibility, what kind of ignorance is that?”

“You can handle all kinds of spells like a regular wizard, but you can cast them conveniently like a sorcerer. Then it’s upward compatibility.”

“It’s not upward compatibility, it’s something else.”

The guy retorted with a somewhat annoyed expression.

“You mean we don’t use any media at all? And even for ordinary wizards, unless they are quite a nerd, they can memorize less than ten spells at most.”

“I heard that if a sorcerer lacks talent, all they have to do is handle two or three spells?”

“… … “Who heard that from?”

“You always boasted about it. “Among the palace masters, there are very few who can handle more than ten spells like you.” Ellen blushed and pursed her lips.

Wow, this talented guy. I know it’s a shame.

After keeping his mouth shut for a moment, he cleared his throat and glanced at me.

“Anyway, I learned that blood magic is a secret secret and is only passed down to the two ducal families of Eyland.”

“… … “The two dukes of Eyland?”

“huh. “The families of Jahakar and Baluin.” The guy’s gaze towards me said, ‘Why don’t you know that you’re Zaha?’ The question was permeating me.

“… … uh.”

But, this is my first time hearing it. No matter how much I search Poi Nyx’s memories, I can’t find any mention of blood magic.

“It’s not strange not to know. “Because blood magic has actually been put into practice.”

The person with that low voice was Heila.

“It’s out of action? why?”

“The seven sorcerer elders who were the leaders of blood magic were killed all at once. After that, it continued to decline for 150 years, and the last successor died a few years ago.”

“Exterminate? To whom?”

“Zeot.”

Zeot? It sounds like a name I’ve heard before somewhere.

As I was tilting my head, Ellen opened her mouth with a pitiful expression.

“I mean, Zeot of Zeore.”

“… … Ah, the Conqueror?”

Zeot of Jeore.

He was the first king who founded the Jeore royal family, and was a top-class gangster known by the nickname ‘King of Conqueror.’

While I shook my head, Hayla looked at Kelsenne and then opened her mouth.

“Even if you were the wizard of La-Palais Palace, I never thought that a mere vampire would know about blood magic. Moreover, it is a technique that applies blood magic and blood magic at the same time.”

“••••••that.”

Kelsen smiled sadly with a gaunt face.

“My husband taught me.”

“Does this mean that Tenvierma was learning blood magic?”

“that’s right.”

Hayla blinked her eyelids quickly a couple of times. According to the data so far, she must be extremely surprised right now.

“how?”

“I don’t know much about that.”

As Hayla’s eyes glowed black, Kell Senne quickly added.

“Tenvierma has collected all kinds of secrets and magic books for nearly 30 years. “It wouldn’t be strange if there were a few magic books related to blood magic among the collection.” Heyla stood like a mannequin, looking at Kelsenne, and suddenly spoke.

“lie.”

“I beg your pardon?”

“It’s a lie. What you need to learn blood magic is not a secret level or a magic book. “You need a teacher who can show you your natural talent and open the way.”

“… … “I guess it’s different for vampires.”

“Vampires are beings that attach themselves to humans and suck their blood without their own blood source. “I can learn blood magic, but I can’t learn blood magic.”

“So, I told you, what I wrote is something between blood magic and blood magic-”

Kelsene, who was talking as if making excuses, turned to me and suddenly raised her voice.

“What are you doing now? Poinix decided to make me human, and I decided to help Poinix. But this endless interrogation!”

“… … what,”

I quietly scratched my eyebrows and then shrugged my shoulders.

“I can’t help it. “I don’t know about you, but it’s not that easy to believe in a vampire.”

“Ha, you see? then-”

“and.”

I walked up to the excited Kelsene and tapped her on the shoulder.

“Don’t scream. Just one more time

“If you do, I will cut out your tongue.”

“what… … , yes’?”

“Be careful with your eyes too. “When I see those eyes, I want to pick him.”

He smiled brightly and tapped her eyelids with his fingertips.

“Vampires regenerate even if their eyeballs explode, right?”

“huh? no?”

“… … “As long as you get enough rest.”

“Then, if you put your mind to it, you can collect a hundred or two hundred of these pretty eyes?”

Kelsenne’s face had suddenly gone from white to pale blue.

I touched her hair, which felt an unknown coldness, and looked back.

“Fritz, do you have any chains left?”

“… … “Why are you looking for chains?”

“I have something to use.”

Normally, Fritz would have grumbled, but he just quietly cursed and put out the iron chain.

Fritz’s chain was not very thick because it was a spare part for attaching to an iron flail. So, he added several layers of chains and ropes and tied Kelsen tightly to a stone pillar.

“… … “What are you doing now?”

“Don’t feel too bad. “Because it’s the minimum insurance.”

“Insurance?”

“huh. “Because you might have something else in mind.”

I finished tying the knot and pointed to my companions.

“If you cheated, my friends will repay you.”

“You don’t trust me.”

“Puh, what are you saying?”

I chuckled and shrugged my shoulders.

“Of course I don’t believe it. “If there had been any other way than to sit on that throne, you would have died long ago.”

“… … “How can that be?”

Kelsen spoke with a pitiful expression as if pleading.

“I made a promise to you.”

“Of course I did. “I’m determined to keep my promise, but I don’t know if you are either.”

“Why?”

“Because you are a vampire.”

Kelsene opened her mouth as if she was dumbfounded, but then made an effort to put on a stern expression.

“Please release me.”

“no.”

“This is a matter of trust.”

“I am the one who turned your husband into dust. “What kind of trust can there be between us?” She put her distorted face behind her and slowly headed to the throne. Ellen stopped in front of her as she took a deep breath.

“Are you sure you want to?”

“Is there any other way? “I can’t just sit here forever.”

“What can’t you do?”

The guy continued talking while fiddling with the hem of his robe, wondering why he was so anxious.

“There’s no need to take risks. “You can take your time and do research.”

“wrong. “There is not enough room.” Utequoi, who was sitting with his back against a nearby stone pillar, refuted Ellen’s words.

“We wandered through the fog without supplies. “We are running out of food.”

“Then, you can go hunting.”

“There are no animals nearby. “To hunt, you have to go into the fog, which is suicidal.”

Saitz, who was drawing blood and agonizing in response to Utequai’s firm words, added a word.

“Well, I’m telling you in advance just in case. Now that the throne is empty, the fog will become thicker. The dream territory will also run wild.”

“Then what happens?”

In response to Freckled Mira’s question, he lowered his voice.

“No one knows that.”

“… … Is that the only thing you know how to say? “What do you know?”

Saitz shrugged his shoulders at Mira’s scolding.

“What if that’s true? Does anyone know what he will dream about tonight? Of course not, right? It’s the same here too. That’s why Hwangye is so fearsome. “It’s going to be hard for everyone to be safe except for that vampire bitch who’s no different from the undead, right?”

“that••••••

The atmosphere in the throne room calmed down as he spoke in a whisper.

… … Oh, it’s frustrating.

I frowned and clapped my hands.

“Okay, stop. Enough hesitation. “There is only one way anyway.”

“trunnion.”

“Ellen, you too, stop.”

“But this time, I’m really anxious,”

He tangled his golden fleece-like hair and gently pinched his soft cheeks.

“When has it never happened like that? “Have you attacked us once or twice, knowing clearly that we were in danger?”

“… … still.”

“don’t worry. “It will work out well.”

Since he was still crying, I hugged his small shoulders and whispered to him.

“Alena said that Kelsene would lead me to justice.”

“… … Oh, Alena?”

“To be exact, this is what the spirit that resides in Alena said… … . Anyway, so don’t worry too much.”

“okay.”

After patting my trembling shoulder, I straighten my back, but before I know it, the man in front of me is spreading his arms.

” me too.”

“……what’?”

“Let me do it too-”

In a rare case, Mongchi’s face had a stern or shameless look on his face.

“Where did you learn this again?”

I smiled and opened my arms, and the guy jumped up and came into my arms.

“lol-”

Ellen frowned when she saw the lump squirming with her forehead buried near my uvula.

“… … wait for a sec. You, that’s a bit-”

Just as Ellen was about to say something, Ute Kwai stood up.

“Poy nix.”

” huh?”

“Do you really have to sit down?”

“then? Should I ask Steedman to sit down?”

Steedman, who was suddenly singled out, made an ‘Eck’ sound and closed his eyes.

Utekwai took a step forward and shook his head.

“No, I can sit down.”

“you’?”

“right. “I am an experienced warrior and-”

“what the. Hey, that’s enough.”

I waved my hand and pushed him back.

“If the bastard who was supposed to be the leader gives up in a situation like this, he’ll be criticized.”

“… … Well, that’s correct.”

“right?”

As expected, there is nothing wrong with what Byeongjang Moon said.

“Whoa.”

I shook off various distractions and stood in front of the throne.

Under the light of torches and oil lanterns, sixteen faces were visible. Everyone seemed nervous, so I burst into laughter.

And finally, the moment I sat on the throne.

My vision became blurred along with a strange feeling that my whole body was shaking.

♦ 5k

The moment Phoenix sat on the white throne, a roar erupted as if heaven and earth were crying at the same time.

Guuuuung-

“Ugh-”

“Damn, what!”

At a time when the mercenaries were frowning and covering their ears, Kell Senn, who was tied to the pillar, gritted his teeth and shook his arms.

“Off-”

The chains that were tightly bound by the incredible strength of a slender woman broke with a ‘cracking’ sound.

“Uh, uh, vampire bitch!”

Gidon, the crossbowman who was the first to discover her unexpected behavior, suddenly fired his crossbow. However, Kelsenne regained her freedom in an instant and dodged the bullets of her crossbow with the swift movements of a black cat.

The silver-plated crossbow struck the stone pillar and made a ‘crack’ sound. As the sound that started from the throne was fading away, the sharp metallic sound awakened the senses of everyone gathered in the room.

As the mercenaries focused their attention, Kelsene let out a hateful yell and kicked the ground.

“You, you dirty thief!”

Her eyes were fixed on the spell thief, Saitz. Kelsenne darted forward, her fingernails extending as long as her fingers.

“Uh, uhm—”

Just before the blade-like claws sank into Saitz, another black spirit flew in like a bird of prey and snatched Kelsenne.

“Big!”

Kelsen, who was rolling around on the ground, already had three daggers stuck in her body. She was an assassin of the martial arts council, a master of the bunch.

“JiAn hud—”

With a cold expression on his face and swearing, Munchi pulled out his cloud sword and cut Kelsenne’s neck.

“You, Poi, tricked me!”

Kelsenne had a silver-plated dagger stuck in both of his shoulders, and his knees and feet were trampling on his arms and chest. Her bundle of hair had completely subdued her, and he grabbed her hair with his left hand, pulling her up roughly.

“Keueuuuuu,”

“What did you do, tell me!”

Munchi gave off an eerie atmosphere due to his cracked voice and constricted pupils.

“Huh, what did you do?”

However, facing her, Kelsenne looked sarcastic while his chin trembled.

“I took revenge! Revenge of my love!”

“Ugh-!”

The hand holding the cloud sword trembled and he glanced back at the throne.

“Poi, poi｝”

Phoenix, who was sitting on the throne, was trembling and showing the white of his eyes, and Ellen was covering his face with a look of astonishment.

“Poi, come to your senses!”

“Off-”

The once white throne had suddenly turned black and was emitting a strange magical power. Ellen immediately realized that the magical power was from another dimension and turned her pale gaze back.

“Kell, seine-r

“Huh, hehehahaha!”

Kelsenne let out a creepy laugh and looked back at the humans with a venomous gaze.

“Huh, you idiots! Trapped in a nightmare world, suffer until the moment you die!” The majority froze in confusion as she spewed out her curses at her sudden change of attitude.

It wasn’t Heyla.

“You lied from the beginning.”

She melted down one of the rings given to her by Phoenix and raised her magical power, and a red flower bloomed on her hand.

“It was a lie that I wanted to become human.”

“Ha, I am a noble of the night! How could anyone want to become a lowly human being!

Even though her neck was cut and blood was pouring out, Kelsenne did not stop laughing.

“Listen to this sound!”

As if waiting for her to cry out, a ‘du-du-du-du-‘ sound was heard from far away. The mercenaries trembled in ominousness because the sound was somehow familiar.

“Toffelin, here comes the lovely child!”

“……Toffelin?”

Stylish Steedman repeated the name and screamed in horror.

“Damn it, that’s the name of the vampire bitch I missed a few days ago!”

“what? Then no way-”

Mira’s muttering stopped in the middle, but the mercenaries were able to immediately grasp the situation. The group of vampires we encountered a few days ago were flocking to the castle.

“Block the entrance!”

Utequai looked back at the confused mercenary and shouted.

“Vampires are not a threat! “Don’t be scared!”

The mercenaries came to their senses at the sound of the shout and moved busily to erect the broken iron door and gather miscellaneous items from the throne room to block the door.

Meanwhile, Hayla knelt down on one knee in front of Kelsen, who had been subdued and was lying flat on the floor, and calmly continued to ask questions.

“So what’s happening to Poi?”

“Hehe, no matter how great of a warrior he is, he is still just a human!”

Perhaps because she had been stabbed with a silver-plated dagger, Kelsenne burst out in blood. Although she must have been in pain, Kelsenne smiled her crimson smile as she looked up at her black throne.

“You idiot! Since he sat on the throne alone without an offering, his poor soul will be torn to pieces by the dimensional currents! And the piece will be swept away into the world!”

She burst out laughing as if she felt relieved after being treated so badly. Although the sight of her death so close could have been scary, Hayla still had an expressionless face.

“But, the magical power of this dimension is being pushed out.”

“Hah… … . what?”

“I feel it. According to what you said, the magic power of another dimension should overtake Poi, but what is currently encroaching on Poi is the same magic power that makes up the fog.”

At those words, Kelsene opened her eyes and looked up at the throne.

“Uh, how-”

Something like black smoke flowing from the throne was drawing a disk above Phoenix’s head.

“Nonsense. “A mere human soul can build the realm of dreams on its own?”

Heila nodded as she watched her muttering helplessly.

“I don’t know anything anymore. “It’s of no use.”

“… … what?”

“Good. “I felt like I couldn’t take it anymore.”

Before the words were finished, the red flower on Hayla’s white hand spun. The rotation gradually became faster and more violent, and crushed Kelsen’s head.

“Quaaaak-/”

In a fountain of blood gushing high, Hayla skillfully sorted out the blood.

While scattering the dirty vampire’s bodily fluids and the smelly blood of the old petty thief on the floor, he found one of the most fragrant and rich beads. Heyla held the ruby-red and clear bead preciously in her hand.

Then, a loud noise rang out again.

Guuuuung-

The black disk emitted from the throne exerted a strong suction power and attracted Phoenix.

“Phoenix!”

In place of Ellen, who was restless, Utequoi leapt forward.

He tightly wrapped his arms around Ellen and Phoenix’s waist, but the suction power generated by the black disk was not something even a giant could resist.

“Hatanka!”

“trunnion!”

Archers Cole and Munchi also clung to Poinix.

Googoo googung!

Then the black disk swallowed Phoenix, El Ren, Utequai, Kol, and the bunch all at once.

“Oh, this is crazy!” While the mercenaries were shocked, Hayla quickly threw her body.

“Ugh—”

The tip of her white finger touched the tip of the black disk, and she, along with those before her, disappeared as if she had been washed away.

The throne room was filled with silence, and what broke the silence was the cries of a vampire coming from afar.

“… … Holy nimi.”

Only then did the pony-haired Fritz, who realized the situation, shake his head and shout loudly.

“Come to your senses, you idiots! “We have to stop it among ourselves!”

Taking that shout as a signal, those left behind continued their preparations for battle.
