My Villains Episode 224

47. Nightmare (6)

When the black giant turns to dust and scatters. There were frequent storms that came out of nowhere.

The huge mansion located in a quiet suburb has regained its silence. The gate revealed itself and welcomed a woman with her arms wide open.

“long time no see.”

Soha, with a pale expression and wearing a neat white shirt and blue skirt, smiled.

That smile shattered something like blackened glass that was hiding a series of memories. Memories beyond the glass come rushing in like waves, disorienting and scratching my head… … .

“Yes, you.”

“I missed you.”

Soha smiled and continued speaking in his usual calm tone.

“I never imagined I would come back here or see my brother again.”

“… … Now I understand. “This is in my dream.”

“My heart aches a little when I think that I appeared in my brother’s dream.”

“under. “They said it was the territory of dreams, but it turned out to be the territory of nightmares.”

“I heard that you joined our company. How surprised she was. “I heard you work in Gwanghwamun?”

I was trying to ignore those words, but I bit my lower lip when I saw the happy expression on Soha’s face.

“Don’t be mistaken. “If I thought it was your affiliate,”

“lie.”

The smile grew stronger. Soha slowly approached and looked up at me.

“You were after me. Even though they didn’t know anything, they desperately searched for me. “I was the one who teased him.”

“Stop saying that bullshit, it’s creepy.”

“cute. “I feel like a sulking puppy.”

Soha came within arm’s reach and looked up at me with a smile. Heinously, it is the face of an innocent girl who has no idea about the world.

He dropped the hand holding Hrunting and gritted his teeth and asked her a question. No, just as she was about to ask her question, Soha opened her mouth first.

“You went on a backpacking trip after graduating, right?”

“… … “Hmm, what?”

“You received a grant through a newspaper contest.”

“You, no way.”

“that’s right. “I’ve been following you for a month and a half, and you haven’t noticed anything at all?”

A funny eye smile.

“That can’t be possible. “You made eye contact with me a few times.”

She tilted her upper body as if leaning against me, who was as stiff as a stone statue, and raised her tiptoes.

“Do you know why your brother didn’t report it? No, he couldn’t report it?”

The bright red lips didn’t even reach her shoulders, let alone her ears, but Soha lowered her voice as if she was whispering.

“Because you missed me. Right?”

“… … “What a psycho bitch.”

“You are too weak and kind to live without my arms.”

Soha stretched out her thin arms and wrapped her arms around my waist. Then he leaned his head against my solar plexus and continued to whisper.

“How indifferent it is for such a kind person to be so indifferent. “They don’t even know their own feelings until you teach them.”

“Let go, this.”

Kuuk.

I grabbed Soha’s shoulder and tried to push her away, but

“no.”

She didn’t move. It was an incredible strength that did not match her delicate body… … .

“Ugh, damn it-”

“My life is completely ruined because of you. “You have to take responsibility.”

“Don’t say bullshit.”

When I saw Soha’s eyes turning black, I began to struggle fiercely.

“You *sigh* ruined my life!”

“no. no.”

The beautifully pleated blue skirt was turned inside out. The smooth legs underneath them had suddenly turned black and were all together.

“It’s because of my brother.”

Soha’s lower body, which had turned into a black lump, swelled up in an instant. In the process, six crusty legs reminiscent of those of an insect sprouted and supported the ground.

“Hey, this X arm-”

In this way, a shape that looked like the upper body of a person sprouting from the body of a spider was completed.

“Let go of this, let go of this!”

I, who was held in Soha’s arms, was lifted into the air as her spider-like lower body grew as big as a house.

“The day I first saw you. At a drinking party, I said something that sounded like I was possessed, so you bought me some digestive medicine. “You don’t know anything about me, but you smile and act cute and wag your tail like a lost puppy.” Even as I struggled desperately, she continued to mutter as if she was casting a spell.

“At best, I came back transformed just as my brother wanted, according to his taste, like magic, like Cinderella.”

With the whites of her eyes and the entire area around her eyes stained black by the darkness starting from her pupils, Soha looked up at me, hanging on her arm, with her chin dropping.

“But Yoo Hee-won, you fell for that lowly slut and didn’t even pay attention to me. “Then, it’s not your fault that we ended up like this.”

Following the fierce attack of a wedge,

Phew!

A long arrow sprouted from the spider’s body.

“Kyaak-!”

The words that poured out like rapid fire were cut off by a sharp scream. At the same time, the strength that had been squeezing my waist also weakened slightly.

“Sigh,”

I struck Soha’s elbows with Hrunting’s pummel, then pushed her stomach with my feet and threw myself backwards.

“No, no—!” As I was doing somersaults to get out of Soha’s arms, I found a gaze that was stained pitch black. So, as soon as I landed on the ground, I did a flip and rolled forward.

bang!

A large spider leg landed where I had landed. The flagstones on the floor were breaking here and there, raising dust.

“Phoenix, in front!”

When I quickly turned my head at the sound of Cole’s voice, I saw Soha turning over the spider’s body and pointing back at me.

Then, bundles of spider webs rushed in with a sticky crackling sound.

The moment I quickly tried to escape,

Hwaak

The bundle of spider webs spread out in a large size as if exploding.

Instinctively, I swung the Hrunting, but only part of the spider web was cut, and the rest was wrapped around my whole body in a sticky mess.

“Oh no, sir-”

I fell backwards and struggled, but the sticky and tough spider web only entangled my limbs even more.

Thinking it wouldn’t work, I coated the Hrunting with blood and stirred it, and only then did the spider webs get cut little by little.

It was Archer Cole who gave me time to get out of the spider web.

“You ugly monster!”

Cole ran out of the mansion and quickly protested while shouting.

The moment the string was released, a yellow flash flashed from the barrel of the bow, and the long arrow was shot, leaving only a blurry afterimage.

Soha belatedly moved her spider legs, but Cole’s arrow instantly stuck in her shoulder.

Qua

“Kahuhuh,”

It must have been an enormous shock, but Do Soha only trembled and quickly recovered his posture. Then he grabbed the arrow shaft stuck in his shoulder and pulled it out in one go.

Boom!

Clothing, including a thin shirt, was torn off by the wide arrowhead, revealing a new white naked body.

As I tore the cobwebs and stood up, my eyes were caught up in Soha’s naked upper body, or to be more precise, on the small mole next to her navel.

“••••••Huh.”

If it weren’t for Poinix’s extraordinary vision, it would have had to be right in front of my nose to be seen. It was a dot smaller than millet.

That small dot brought up images that had been dormant in my head, such as a breathless smile, a gaze looking down, a naked body glimmering in the moonlight, flowing hair, and a navel twisting anxiously.

As I was writhing from a headache, Soha, who had regained her bearings, suddenly lunged at me.

“Huh, come on, wow!”

As the abnormally large body of the spider closed the distance in an instant, I quickly flew back and raised my sword.

‘% 方hole—” –, –he

As the tip of Hrunting’s sword pointed towards him, Soha’s lips twisted into a smile.

“Brother, you can’t hurt me.”

As he continued speaking, black shells sprouted like scales on his white upper body, which had the appearance of a human.

“therefore. “Don’t resist, just be quiet.”

Cole’s arrow flew in again, aiming for her neck. However, the shiny carapace bounced the arrow away, leaving only a sound and a small scratch.

“I will give you a hug.”

Her gaze filled with affection gave me goosebumps starting from my fingertips and pounded my heart. I adjusted my posture by biting her lower lip until it bled.

As the black shell filled the corners of his eyes, Soha flung himself again and opened his mouth wide.

“forever-!”

After spreading his legs and taking a stance, he calmed down and aimed the Hrunting at Soha.

“Whoa,”

Flagstones and pebbles bounced and clouds of dust rose, but my narrowed eyes only followed the movement of her legs.

Shoo!

A leg with a two-pronged claw at the end swung down, and I quite calmly stepped back and swung the blade above my head. Hrunting, which is filled with blood and glows bright red, is so cool! The leg was torn into pieces with a cheerful sound.

“Kkoaeuuuu!”

Leaving behind Soha’s suppressed screams, I stepped forward as if dancing a tango and cut off her legs one after another.

“Ah, ah-”

The spider’s body, with four of its six legs cut off, lost its balance and fell down on its side.

“How, how can you do this to me?” Soha’s upper body, hanging there, fluttered and looked back at me.

“You said you loved me.”

Now I have a clear sense of what this world is like.

This is a world that embodies my dreams, no, my nightmares. A world where traumas buried beneath intimate memories or somewhere deep in the heart become reality and run wild.

“brother Brother.”

Before we knew it, all of the carapace surrounding Soha’s upper body had disappeared. She crawled towards me, dragging her giant spider body.

“You can’t do this to me… …

Even Soha, who spoke to me mournfully, could tell that it was just a fantasy from my nightmare.

“••••••okay.”

However, even knowing this, it was not easy to coldly ignore her watery gaze.

“It was only for a moment, but I think I loved you.” “Ahhh.

“I don’t know if it’s Stockholm Syndrome or something, but there was a time when I was waiting for you like a puppy waiting for its owner to leave the house.”

I quietly held out my hand. Soha crawled desperately, stretched out both hands and grabbed my hand.

“It was definitely a terrible time, but… … . Ha, this is ridiculous. okay. “I wasn’t just unhappy.”

Instead of answering what I said, Soha shed another tear.

“If you had done it differently, if I had paid even a little attention to you, a lot of things would have been different… …

I carefully pushed away the hands that were hanging on me and got down on one knee. Then he stroked Soha’s head and wrapped his arms around his shoulders.

Tears flowed down the iron breastplate, split along the scratches, and fell pattering to the ground.

I gently patted my shaking back and swallowed my hot breath.

“I’m sorry, Soha.”

Hrunting’s blade slid between Soha’s ribs while he was lying down.

“Huh OO” —,

As soon as the beating heart was torn into pieces,

Kugugugung-

A roar was heard from somewhere.

“Phoenix, look over there.”

Before I knew it, Cole, who had come a short distance away and was quietly watching Soha and me, spoke in an urgent tone.

“The mansion is collapsing. “We must move now!”

When I quickly looked back, I saw that the mansion was being swallowed up by a huge crack in the ground.

Soha, who had stopped breathing in the moment the pass squad looked behind her, turned into dust and scattered in all directions.

I blinked, looking at something sparkling and scattering, and then quickly got up.

“Follow me.”

“Do you know where to go?” Instead of answering, I started running. Cole, who was running at the same time, saw where I was heading, i.e., outside the wide open door, and swallowed his breath in astonishment. I discovered a black disk that had suddenly appeared from somewhere and was turning into a passage.

“Are you really going to go in there?”

“okay!”

“but-”

“Anyway, that’s the only way! “Shut up and follow me!”

Even as I was writing, the crack that had engulfed the mansion was quickly expanding toward the front door.

“Ugh,”

Was it because I felt the ground shaking like a wave? Cole kept his mouth shut and focused on playing with his legs after me.

As cracks stretching out like lightning tickled our heels, we finally jumped into the black passage.

Crossing the black passage was a very strange experience.

It felt like I had been floating in space for a long time and ended up on another planet, or it felt like I had been teleported somewhere in the blink of an eye.

“Ugh,”

Cole and I were thrown out of the air like gum that someone had chewed and spit out. Fortunately, the bottom was a dirt floor full of fallen leaves.

“… … here is.”

Cole quickly stood up, lowered his posture, and adjusted his grip on the bow. And he was whispering under his breath.

“It looks like some kind of castle.”

“that’s right.”

The first thing that caught his eye was probably the strangely shaped castle. This is an imposing castle with high, sharp walls that make it look like thorns are sticking out.

Inside the castle, which was probably 8 or 9 meters high, there were palace towers, barracks, and knights’ halls lined up. As Cole said, this looks like a castle in Middle World.

“… … “I don’t know if it landed in a foreign country other than the Kingdom of Milanol.”

“why?”

“Well, it’s hard to explain, but it feels somehow unfamiliar.” As Cole felt, other than the unusual shape of the castle, there were many other unusual features that stood out.

Not only is the height of the castle wall high, but its circumference is unusually long, making it incomparably grander than not only Longville but also South Harbor.

The rocks that made up the castle walls and the wood and bricks used in the buildings were all dark and dull black.

And in the distance, there is a magnificent palace decorated with arched structures on the outside.

“please… … . “It’s a castle that looks like a king or princess would stay there.”

“right?”

From Kim Seung-su’s perspective, this is a castle with an atmosphere that wouldn’t be out of place even if the devil lived there.

On the other hand, for Phoenix, it is a space that is so boring that it is not familiar to them.

“You’re right.”

“yes?”

“It’s a castle where the king once stayed, and now the duke stays.” I left Kol with wide eyes and looked around again. As I trace my memories of Poynix, I am once again convinced.

“It’s ‘Tawz Den.’”

“If it’s Tawz Den… …

Cole’s mouth was half-open with a surprised look on his face.

“Are you saying this is the last name of Poynix’s family?”

“that’s right. “It is the capital of Eyland and the home of the two ducal families, Zahakar and Baluin.”

“ah… … Kol, whose mouth was hanging open, regained his composure and nodded.

“Then it seems like this is another dream of Phoenix.”

“… … well. “I don’t think so.”

“yes? “What do you mean by that?”

I scratched my eyebrows at his questioning gaze and shrugged my shoulders.

“Well, it feels somewhat unfamiliar. “It doesn’t feel like my dream.”

I, I mean, Seungsu Kim took over Phoenix’s body and swallowed his soul.

At first, the souls of Kim Seung-su and Poynix did not mix like water and oil. However, after escaping and awakening to the ‘legendary lineage’, the souls became properly one, and in the process, most of Poynix’s memories were also absorbed.

Of course, even after going through a series of processes, my ego as Kim Seung-su is much stronger than my ego as Phoenix.

So it feels a little strange that Phoenix’s dream is coming true now.

“And, decisively.”

I was lost in thought for a moment and then looked at the road we were standing on. Although it is a very familiar walking trail, it is a space that has no meaning to Phoenix.

“Look over there.”

W……

Cole turned his gaze to my chin and opened his eyes wide. This is because a human spirit appeared at the bottom of the winding road next to the castle wall.

“You’re here.”

It was a familiar-looking woman who said that.

A woman wearing luxurious boots, shiny leather pants, and a vest with gold buttons. It was Hayla.

“I’ve waited a long time.”

She came up at a leisurely pace and looked at me, blinking.

I burst out laughing when I read something vaguely welcoming in those eyes.

“Here, in your dream?”

“that’s right.”

“How did you realize this?”

“I knew it right away.”

” as soon as?”

“huh. “Because it’s a dream I have every day.”

Cole and I looked confused, but Hayla didn’t seem to want to explain any further. Taking her leisurely steps, she passed us and headed up the walkway.

“Follow me.”

“… … “Where are we going?”

“There’s an exit.”

Heyla’s white finger pointed to the palace in the distance.

The space where she and Phoenix spent their childhood. It was the ducal palace ‘Takanto’.
