My Villains Episode 223

47. Nightmare (5)

My image was reflected in the mirror hanging on one side of the dressing room.

“… … “You’re just hitting a goal.”

Leather clothes, armor full of scratches, a black half-cloak that covered half of the upper body, gloves and a belt with snake scale patterns, and an elongated sword over 1.2 meters long. The outfit did not match the items lying around – a neatly folded towel, a plastic comb, a glass bottle containing skin lotion, and a dryer.

Regardless of the strange feeling, I feel very at ease now that I have my equipment back. In particular, when I put my hand on the Hrunting pummel worn around my waist, I felt a sense of security that was close to coziness.

Cabinet number 1 contained my equipment, and cabinet number 2 contained Cole’s equipment, including a dark yellow composite bow.

“ Hmm••••••

Why aren’t the other colleagues’ items there?

While I was wondering, an ominous thought suddenly occurred to me.

Could it be that Ellen, Utequoi, Munchi, and Hayla are somewhere else entirely other than this mansion?

No matter what happened, there was no problem that could be solved by sitting still, so I left the locker room armed and looked around the second floor again.

Like the third floor, the floor here was soft, but the sound of footsteps was quite loud, perhaps due to the studded soles of the leather boots.

But I didn’t slow down to try to reduce the sound.

If you sneak around like a thief and run into black monsters like before… … . Oh, it’s scary to even imagine. This time, my heart might really sink.

I decided that it would be better for my mental health to force myself to relax and move around confidently.

Even though I searched the second floor again, I still couldn’t feel any people at all.

I tried touching the computers in the office one by one, just in case, but they wouldn’t turn on at all.

When I see the fluorescent light coming on, it seems like the power is on, but why doesn’t the computer turn on?

For a moment I had doubts. I realized that hoping for common sense in this strange world was foolish.

Computers aside, what should we do now?

“……ugh”

O •

… … In fact, where I had to go was decided from the beginning.

I have to go down. Go down to the first floor and find your colleagues. And regardless of whether your colleagues are present or not, you must leave this place once the search is over.

Even though I knew this clearly, I could only wander near the fire door leading to the stairs and could not move forward.

Although I had some reservations about ‘Chief Heo’, the massive monster that roamed around making a roar… … That wasn’t everything. An ominous feeling that is difficult to explain seems to be sprouting in my heart.

Even while my heart was pounding, my reason was working hard.

Shall we go down through the terrace?

No, it’s too dangerous. You’ve already experienced it.

If I wanted to escape, I could go down there and run to the front door, but anyway, I now have to search the first floor as well. The method of going down to the terrace and breaking the glass door to enter was very likely to provoke the monster called Chief Heo.

Well, there is only one answer this time.

Ki-

Holding Hrunting, I carefully opened the fire door and entered the stairs.

“ O 99

Seeing the splattered blood makes me feel nauseous. This is because the terrible image of the nurse monster came to mind.

It is fortunate that there is no body. If there had been a corpse, my hesitation would have been two times longer.

“••••••Phew.”

After sighing and shaking off my anger, I went down to the first floor.

The first thing I noticed upon entering the first floor was the speed gates lined up on the left and right.

It might be awkward to see an item commonly installed at the entrance of a company or building in a mansion in the suburbs, but perhaps because of the interior design, it doesn’t feel out of place.

As I approached, wondering if I should go over, the creel plate opened quickly.

“… … “Ai, I’m surprised.”

Well, since you’re standing inside the gate, it’s natural for the door to open without a pass.

Slowly leaving the speedgate

I looked around the stool.

Perhaps because of the high ceiling or because of the interior design, the first floor gave the impression of a department store lobby. In front, the blinded front window filled the view, and there was a front desk on one side and a cafe on the other side.

I searched for rooms where my colleagues might be trapped, but the first floor was a wide open space, so there weren’t many places that could be called rooms.

After looking inside the public restroom, the cafe’s kitchen, and even the bathroom behind the desk, I was convinced that the building, which I had no idea was a mansion, was empty.

The search is over, so I have to get out of here now. First, you have to go back to the 3rd floor and wake up Cole-

“uh?”

It was just as I was about to move towards the stairs that I heard a man’s threatening voice.

“What is it, a multiplier?”

The voice calling me came from the entrance on the first floor. When I slowly turn my head, I see Wen Janghan smiling.

“It’s a multiplier. “Why are you out alone?”

“… … Who are you?”

“••••••Yes?”

He was an arrogant-looking man who appeared to be in his mid-30s, with his short-cropped hair polished with pomade and wearing a neat suit.

“What, what are you doing? “Are you kidding me?”

“what the. “I asked you to call me hyung, and you joked around. You’re not just a quiet character, are you?” The man in the suit had light skin and looked like an ordinary office worker at first glance, but he was as tall as me and his shoulders were very broad, so I felt intimidated.

And, he had the air of a trained warrior.

“But why are you alone? “Where is the nurse going?”

“Is the lady here? Today is Wednesday. “Isn’t it the day you go to school?”

The man in the suit tilted his head and came over. Instead of answering his question, I lifted Hrunting up.

“What are you doing? “Is it a hidden camera?”

“… … “Stop talking nonsense and start attacking me.”

“what?”

The man in the suit let out a chuckle.

“Look at this guy. When I say let’s see, doesn’t Manager Aju look like a wrapper?”

The man who approached me while saying that stretched out his arm towards me.

It was like putting a headlock on a close friend, but I quickly backed away and swung Hrunting.

Suddenly!

The blade, which was clearly quite powerful, hit his forearm, but the man was fine except for a small cut in the hem of his sleeve.

“Oh, fuck-!”

The man frowned when he saw that the gold button on his cuff had fallen off.

“You crazy bastard, do you know how much this costs?”

No matter what he said, I held the Hrunting at forehead level and aimed the tip of the knife between his eyes. The unfamiliar yet familiar posture is a bit strange, but it gives a sense of stability.

When I pointed the knife at him instead of answering, the man in the suit burst into laughter and cursed as if he were dumbfounded.

“Ha, this bastard doesn’t know what’s up or down. Am I funny? Do you think something happened to you because the young lady played with you?”

His clean, white face turned red.

“You little bastard, you are a pet hamster. If she gets tired of you, she will just have to live like a rat from that moment on. Do you understand?”

The face of the man who was pouring out words turned dark red, then black.

“But, that bastard-”

The man twisted his body and grew bigger. His physique, which was similar to mine, suddenly doubled or tripled in size. My reason told me to attack immediately, as this was my chance, but my body did not listen.

“How dare you point a finger at me!”

The man turned into a giant whose entire body was stained black.

At first glance, their appearance was similar to the black monsters seen on the second floor, but there was a crucial difference. The giant, whose shoulders were so large that they touched the high ceiling of the lobby, had grotesquely distorted human body proportions.

His legs were so short that they were less than his entire height, and his shoulders were grotesquely wide. His arms were dangling from fists larger than his head, and the arms themselves were so long that they stood up straight and their fingertips almost touched the ground.

The giant, who looked like he had stretched the troll three or four times to the left and right, immediately pounced on me while I was frozen.

“Uuuuuu!”

The reason I was able to move my body before being crushed by the giant palm was thanks to a shout that seemed to explode my eardrums.

“Ugh,”

After barely coming to my senses, I gritted my teeth and rolled to the side at the black shadow beneath my feet.

Quang-!

The marble floor shattered in an instant, scattering sparkling fragments in all directions.

As soon as I got up, I quickly ran forward. A loud banging sound and vibration erupted right behind me, and flying pieces of stone hit the back of my head and back again and again.

“X arm,”

That’s Chief Heo.

I cursed and ran towards the doorway as fast as I could.

I didn’t have time to open the door, so I covered my face with my vambrace and threw myself against the thick glass.

There was a sharp, clanging sound for a moment. The monster that followed shattered all the front windows, drowning out all the noise.

“Hey, you rat!”

Director Heo gave a shout that made the air tremble and chased after me with all his might. A pounding sound of inestimable weight made my bones tingle, and I used the fear as fuel to shoot out at an incredible speed.

It was slower than me, but the speed of a monster about 6 meters tall running at full speed was quite impressive.

No, as the large body began to accelerate, it quickly began to catch up with me.

Boom!

The giant’s fingertips brushed his hair. The gate was right in front of me, but it seemed like I would be caught by a giant before I could reach it.

The moment I realized this and despaired.

Wedge-

The sound of the wind cutting and the sound of steel plates being torn apart rang out in succession.

“Uuuuk,”

I quickly flipped to the side and turned around to see the black giant with both hands on the floor just before falling forward. Upon closer inspection, I saw that a thick arrow had been lodged quite deeply in the guy’s left side.

“Phoenix!”

The main character of the voice was Archer Cole. He was standing at the window of a room on the second floor – I think it was a golf practice room – and holding a protest.

It seems he came to his senses, got up, followed my trail, and retrieved his equipment.

“Okay, keep shooting!”

While shouting loudly, he held Hrunting in his hand.

The body lost its warrior-like ferocity, cruelty, and fighting spirit, and was left only a coward, gasping for breath.

“Huh, okay. Okay, let’s do it.”

Now was not the time to run, it was the time to fight.

Although that monster looked very scary, it would not be as strong as the Creeper Dragon, or rather, the Underlord. In addition, he had all the equipment, including Hrunting, and was in good condition.

The body answered the long and earnest persuasion of reason.

“Ghaaagh!”

He let out a roar as loud as his head and ran towards the giant.

Chief Heo, who had been hit by a second arrow in the back, was looking back toward the mansion where Cole was.

Yo oo

After hearing my shout, he turned back to me. My heart sank, but the situation actually got better.

He did a lunge with all his might, as if he were doing a high jump, and then kicked the ground. Even though I was wearing armor, my body felt surprisingly light, and the moment I jumped, I pushed off the ground with an abundance of force and felt as if something was pulling me up.

Huh!

He jumped up like a bird and plunged Hrunting into the giant’s neck.

Gakkagak-!

“Big,”

The moment the blade hit his black skin, sparks flew out as if welding. My wrist tingles as if I hit a piece of metal.

A large scar was left on Chief Heo’s neck, but he still moved around fine.

“Wow!”

No, he was furious and running wild.

Immediately after retrieving Hrunting and landing, I raised my hand, realizing that the blade was not sharp enough.

No, you don’t have to do this.

Normally I would have had to cut my skin with a blade, but I was now wearing the ‘Death King’s Scale Handcuffs’.

“Whoa.”

As I raised my energy and concentrated my mind, I felt a tingling sensation in my palm.

Blood seeped through the gloves.

The blood rose up and wrapped around the handle of the Hrunting, as if it was supposed to flow like that, and then wrapped around the blade.

Hrunting shines! Then, showing off a bright red light, I jumped towards the black giant running towards me.

Buuuuung!

The giant’s index and middle fingers grazed left and right, and in an instant, the bloody Hrunting was embedded in the face of the giant in front of him.

Pooh wow!

With the sensation of stabbing the hard tofu with chopsticks, Hrunting’s blade disappeared into the giant’s eyeball. If it hadn’t been for his crosshairs, he would have entered my wrist.

“ugh.”

The giant fell to the ground with a low sigh.

The big guy falls down and boom! At the same time as the sound was made, a gust of wind blew from somewhere and swept towards the gate. The main gate of the mansion, which had been stained black, revealed itself as if it had been washed away by the wind.

Sigh-

The gate, shaped like an iron fence, opened, and a woman entered.

A beautiful woman wearing a white shirt and blue skirt.

“… … Jeong, Soha?”

At the woman’s quiet smile, something crackled or cracked in my head.
