My Villains Episode 230
47. Nightmare (12)
Atalanta gained half-freedom through a distorted prophecy.
The Paladins of the Calandari Church, the Red Militia, and Princess Theodora.
Phoenix’s father, Count Achele, led the fleet and pacified the coast.
Grania of Auduenne, Kanzai Iopiya, sister-in-law of Utequai.
The series of stories all deviated from the main scenario of Dark World. Therefore, it was difficult to predict what impact these events would have on the future.
Ugh, what’s going on… … .
The meeting with Atalanta, which lasted just over an hour, left my head in a mess.
I wanted to sit somewhere quiet and organize my thoughts.
“… … Ha, I’m going to turn around.”
That was impossible.
This is the conclusion I came to after crossing the black passage and looking around.
The place we fell this time was outdoors.
Rough concrete floors, blinking streetlights, an old single-story building made of red bricks, and a green iron pipe structure stand out.
“This time too, it’s not that serious.”
He looked around with a stiff face, filled with abnormal silence and darkness everywhere. Cole also looked very nervous as he pulled out an arrow and fired it.
Hayla, who had been lowering her posture as she landed, slowly stood up and pulled the bottom of her gloves tight. Then he clenches and opens his fist, and for some reason, I feel a sense of leisure in his movements.
At some point, I learned a strange talent. The talent of reading the inner thoughts of an expressionless, peerless beauty.
This time, Hayla seems quite satisfied because she didn’t fall when she landed and didn’t receive help from me.
“It’s an amazing place again.”
She looked at the barbed wire fence surrounding the back of the building and the hill beyond it, surrounded by darkness and bushes, then turned her head toward me.
“Do you even know where this is?”
w……O ugh w
—M3
Instead of answering, I quietly scratched my eyebrows. It was because I was a little worried about whether I could answer, ‘I’m the master of the separation tree behind the executives’ quarters.’
After hesitating for a moment, I let out a short sigh and opened my mouth.
“This is an incredibly dangerous place.”
“What kind of place is it?”
“Hmm, some kind of defense base, or should I say a garrison station?”
Cole, who was looking in the shadows, asked a question.
“Which army is this stationed at?”
“Uh, well. Just by looking at it, it doesn’t look like a kingdom, does it?”
“Then maybe…”
Cole tried to say something, but closed his mouth.
“Perhaps something?”
“… … Since you say it’s a garrison, you’d better be careful. Do you know where to go?”
“Well, for now.”
I looked back at the three roads around me and searched for memories.
The period that the company was dispatched to here, to an ASP somewhere in Gangwon-do, was at most three months. But fortunately for him, the memories he revived were quite clear.
Hmm, I think if you go up the stairs in front, you will find an air defense position.
On the right was a phone booth and a foot volleyball court, and on the left was a sunshade and the entrance to the barracks.
I don’t let go of my feet willingly.
At the suburban mansion, I met a nurse, a security guard, Chief Heo, and Soha. They were all terrible monsters.
In the neighborhood where I was living, I met Hee-won’s father and husband, and I decided to leave them behind because I thought they too would turn into monsters.
Here too, if a senior or executive appears as a monster… … .
“O”
It’s scary to even imagine.
No, it’s a problem even if you don’t become a monster. If you go on a rampage with a rifle or drive an armored vehicle, I won’t be able to handle it.
After a short period of deliberation, I chose the right path.
The reason was simple. There is shelter for the air defense platoon on the stairs in front, and our company’s armored vehicle is on the awning on the left.
It seems like I can fight a rifle with my body, but I can’t even think of fighting an armored vehicle.
“Wait a minute, before we move-” I advised my group not to go out rashly even if someone showed up.
Additionally, since it was dark around here, I told the group to hide and follow me, and not to show themselves until I gave them a signal.
The bundle, wearing a short robe with a hood, went straight up to the rooftop of the executive quarters.
Of course, even though it is a rooftop, the executive quarters is a one-story building. After making a big jump, the guy simply grabbed hold of the railing and climbed over it, then disappeared.
“Would you like to share some blood?”
“••••••huh?”
“Blood. “Won’t you need it?”
Hayla blinked a couple of times at my question and then nodded.
When blood oozed from her palms due to the effect of the scale handcuffs, she made them into rings as she had done before.
Because I had spent so much time on various things, the only ring left was on the ring finger of my left hand, but soon the other four fingers were also filled with red rings.
Still, there was still some blood left, so Heila took out something that looked like a piece of jewelry from inside her vest. Is it a ruby bead?
“What is that?”
“Your blood. “I retrieved it from Kelsene.”
“••••••what?”
Are you really talking about the few drops of blood that was fed to the vampire Kelsenne?
“You recovered it?”
Yo O” h-
Heyla poured fresh blood into the ruby bead, no, the blood bead, enlarged it and put it back in her bosom. And ‘Why? ‘Is there a problem?’ He was looking at me with eyes that seemed to say something.
Hmm, something feels uncomfortable… … . Looking at that confident face, I have nothing to say.
ASP was located on a wooded hill.
Because there was not much lighting and the surrounding area was sparsely populated, it was completely dark for my son-in-law. Moreover, the nearby ammunition depots all looked like large burial mounds, so walking around in the silence would send a chill down my spine.
No matter how I felt, the group left the barracks area without incident, perhaps because they chose the back road. Let alone a monster, there were no humans at all.
Although it was a dirt road, I was walking down a well-maintained hill and suddenly looked around. Although the hill is undulating beyond the barbed wire on both sides, there is no hidden corner in sight.
“… … It’s a bunch. Are you following along well?”
The bundle made its presence known at the sound of my low voice. When I quickly turned around, the guy appeared about 30 meters away and quickly melted into the darkness again.
… … It really looks like a ghost. If someone I didn’t know had seen it, I would have fainted.
While thinking that, I was about to walk again.
A shout of popularity was heard from down the hill.
“Mr. Poynix.”
“… … “Stay back.” The process by which the presence was heard was quite strange. I obviously hadn’t heard anything just a moment ago, but suddenly I heard footsteps and whispering voices coming from the corner of the street below.
“… … “Isn’t it funny that we did that?”
“you’re right. “I don’t understand.”
“So, fuck, if you’re going to search, why not search here? Then the whole world would have turned upside down and sucked some honey.”
“Wouldn’t that have been just as difficult?”
“Damn. “I’d rather go to work this early in the morning, huh?”
They were soldiers wearing military uniforms and carrying rifles. Faced with two soldiers in their early 20s with youthful faces, I swallowed hard.
“What, isn’t that Kim Seung-su?”
“… … “Oh, that’s right.”
The soldier with the rank of private first nodded with a surprised face and stepped forward.
“Hey, what are you doing here? I’m not feeling well… …
It’s a familiar face. He was my classmate, what was his name?
As I kept my mouth shut, the soldier, who was looking around with his words slurred, looked surprised.
“You crazy bastard, did you come out alone?”
He acted as if he couldn’t see Hayla and Cole, and as if he saw me as Seungsu Kim and not Poynix.
The same was true for the sergeant who was walking up with a private first class in front of him.
“Look at how swollen this kid’s liver is. Oh, it’s Captain Po, the officer on duty. “If you don’t want to be left behind, jump in quickly.”
The sergeant, who was flustered, looked at my complexion and frowned. And he looked at me and said in a low voice,
“… … “Are you doing this on purpose?”
“You’re not answering? Are you allowed to chew on your senior’s words?”
I put my hand on Hrunting’s pummel and thought about it for a moment. There’s still some distance to the guard post. Can I suddenly swing my knife?
“one. “Look at this idiot.”
“Hey, Seungsu Kim.”
As I remained silent, the sergeant put away his gun and continued talking with a cold expression on his face.
“What about that psychogenic nature, huh? You were so cruel to me and didn’t say anything even when I missed work. But why is this happening again?”
“Fuck you, do you think we’ll be scared just because of this? If this continues, you’ll be the only one screwed up, you stupid bastard. What are you talking about, perjury, huh? “They even made a false report.”
The one that came close gave off a disgusting odor and kept shooting.
“And honestly, that guy was really flirting with you. “They always say they’ll go to work together, and they’ll just have to stay out on vacation.”
When a large hand grabbed his face and started squeezing it, he stuck out his tongue and rolled his eyes. His blood rushed as his strong fingertips dug into his skin.
Kwakagak!
Blood exploded and the sergeant’s torso collapsed. The private standing next to him was stuttering, his face turning blue.
“Ki, ki, Kim Seung, Su, you crazy bastard!”
The thing let out a loud roar and swelled up, but before the transformation was even complete, a lump protruding from the drain swung the cloud sword.
As his neck was split in half with a cheerful sound, the private stumbled around, blood gushing from his mouth. Still, he took a step back and grew larger, but Cole’s arrow fired later pierced the side of his nose.
“Sigh,” I kicked the ground and pulled out the Hrunting, and cut off the head of the private who was hit on the buttocks with an arrow stuck in his face.
“••••••Huh.”
This time too, just like when I killed Heewon’s father and husband, my heart was pounding like it was going to explode and my fingertips were shaking. But at the same time, an overwhelming sensation as if her heart was being torn apart came pouring out of her.
While I was enjoying the feeling of freedom, the head of a private wearing a bulletproof helmet rolled along my rimak.
Thong, thud, thong-
The excitement that filled my heart was instantly dissipated by that loud sound. What replaced the pleasure was an inexplicable feeling of frustration.
“Mr. Poynix. These guys,”
“later. “You have to move first.”
I stopped Cole and looked back towards the barracks. The ominous feeling that weighed on his heart,
Weeeeenn-!
A loud siren sound pounding on my eardrums responded.
“Follow me!”
The group, who were covering their ears, immediately responded to my shouting. Even if you couldn’t hear the voice, you probably knew that you had to run right now.
I leapt out to the lead and regained my senses as I adjusted my hold on Hrunting. Fortunately, there was no one at the guard post at the end of the descent and where the road splits into three.
After passing the three-way intersection, you can see the guard post in the distance. The siren sound that was pounding my eardrums stopped.
And the unpleasant sound of metal clicking against each other, as if baton touching, gradually became closer. The harsh exhaust sound was a bonus.
“Crazy, really… … ?”
It was amazing.
The noise of the track and engine was coming from the front, not the back. Of course, there was no way to know why the armored vehicles that should have been on the awning were here.
Rumbling-
In the moment I stopped after hearing the harsh noise, an armored vehicle jumped out from behind the guard post.
“Damn it, get down!”
As soon as I dragged my group and threw myself behind the hills on either side of the road, there was a sound like thunder, and pieces of dirt and grass bounced around.
The two machine guns mounted on the armored vehicle continuously fired 7.62mm and 12.7mm rounds, respectively.
I can assure you that no attack I have ever experienced in Middle World has been as overwhelming as this. Even my superhuman body would turn into a rag within 2 or 3 seconds the moment I stood in front of that fire net.
“That, *sigh* what is that-”
Even Kol, who was the most courageous of the mercenaries, was distraught by the heavy blast of machine gun bullets and ended up running away. I crawled over and pressed down on his shaking shoulder.
“call! calm down! “It will be over soon!”
“ OOO —–
The barrage of machine guns ended as Cole dropped his body through gritted teeth.
As I quickly raised my head and looked towards the armored vehicle, Moongchi and Heyla, who were crouching next to me, also stood up.
“Eh, eh?”
M | 99
The two women looked embarrassed. I guess it was because I discovered that the person who was pouring out the unknown magic was not a person but a piece of metal.
“You have to aim for the floor or the people in there!”
I continued to scream as I flew towards the hill on the other side.
“Heyla, let me get your attention-”
Before the words were finished, a thunder-like sound echoed through the night sky again. Two additional armored vehicles appeared from behind the guard post and started firing machine guns.
“Oh, X-two-!”
I felt like I was going to pee at any moment, but I had to move. This was because armored vehicles were approaching with continuous gun fire.
I got up, scratching the ground, and ran up the hill. Is it because he raised his arms intentionally? A barrage of machine guns followed me up the hill.
Fortunately, Hayla did not seem to lose her cool even though she encountered an armored vehicle for the first time in her life and was showered with machine guns. It was clear that he made quick and accurate judgments about what to do.
“yes.”
She drew magical power from the ring on her thumb and at the same time spread blood, creating a red carpet on the floor, a ‘swamp of blood.’
Then, the ring on his index finger also melted. Thanks to this, the bloody swamp spread thinly and wide enough to completely cover the well-paved dirt road between the hills.
The armored vehicles that continued strafing over the hill trampled the bloody swamp. A force so powerful that an ordinary person could not even take his feet off the track pulled on the track and the rubber pad attached to it.
Googoo googung.
Of course, an armored car was not something that could be hindered by sticky blood or anything like that. That wasn’t what Hayla was aiming for.
“Whoa-”
Heyla let out a long exhalation and closed her outstretched hand toward the armored vehicle.
That moment,
Quang!
Something rose from the bloody swamp and pierced the armored vehicle from the bottom. It was a ‘red thorn’ as thick as a beautiful log.
“-Hueup,”
As I inhaled, my clenched fists tightened.
The red thorns, in full bloom, rotated violently, like a flower bud bursting.
Kwagwagwagwak-
It was impossible to replace the armored car, which was made entirely of metal, but it was enough to stop its function.
Heyla, who had disabled one of the armored vehicles, stumbled for a moment.
But even for a moment, she came to her senses, drew up magic power from the ring on her middle finger, and pierced the second armored car with red thorns.
Googoo googung.
Then the last armored vehicle suddenly changed direction. The barrage of machine guns that were raining down on me, who was making a fuss at the top of the hill, was also instantly directed at Hayla.
“O” =
Heila melted the ring on her hand and poured magical energy into the glove on her right hand. Four of the five diamond patterns engraved on the back of her hand evaporated in an instant, emitting a silver glow.
Ugh-
The ‘Star Shield’ spread out like that was narrow and thick, blocking her front.
However, the star shield could not withstand the fire from the two machine guns for even a second and was shattered.
“Heyla-!”
As she screamed in shock, the bundle was used like an arrow and attacked Heila.
The two women became one and disappeared behind the hill, and the last armored vehicle continued firing and moved towards the two women.
The armored vehicles in front were blocking the road, but that ignorant piece of metal roughly pushed them away and tried to get over the hill.
“no,”
Without realizing it, I muttered softly and threw myself down the hill.
Rushing towards an armored vehicle with a sword? It was pure crazy.
Because my heart was shaking, I couldn’t shout, and thanks to that, the armored vehicle was late to notice my approach.
Googoo googung.
As the armored vehicle turned and pointed the muzzle of its machine gun at me, it slid and rolled toward the ramp behind the armored vehicle as if trying to steal a base.
Unlike Kim Seung-su’s very frightened mind, Poynix’s body moved as nimbly as a cat or a wild beast. Thanks to this, I climbed to the top of the armored vehicle in no time.
I only saw it now, but the commander’s seat and co-pilot’s seat, where the machine gun seat was located, were empty. So is the thing pulling the trigger a ghost?
The unmanned machine gun continued to spit out bullets, but it was impossible to fire at the top of the armored vehicle even if the middle class couldn’t cut its own hair. So, I calmly took my stance and adjusted my grip on the Hrunting.
“Aaaap!”
He swung the brilliantly shining Hrunting with all his might, wrapped in a bloody blade.
No matter how famous Hrunting was, it was extremely difficult to cut through the top of an armored vehicle with a sword. However, he was as simple as breaking the fastener on the infantry stone hatch.
Kang, Kang!
Rough sparks flew out one after another, and the fastener broke violently and flew out. I immediately opened the hatch and entered the crew compartment.
“Huh, hah… … . uh?”
Hrunting’s red glow illuminated the black figure sitting in the cockpit. It was a blurry shadow shaped like a person.
There was no time to worry about the identity of that shadow. I used Death King’s rain cuffs to spray out blood. The shadows dispersed, and the armored vehicle stopped.
“Huh, hu-”
After taking a couple of rough breaths, I ran out of the armored vehicle.
“Heyla! “It’s a bunch!”
As I ran to the back of the hill, I saw a group of people supporting Kol and Hayla, who were standing up with trembling legs.
“Poi, Heyla.”
“……uh?”
Thanks to the dim light from the street lights, I was able to check Hayla’s condition.
The velvet vest and leather pants were completely stained black. He was hit by a machine gun bullet.
Googoo googung.
In the meantime, I heard the sound of a crawler rolling from behind. These must be the armored vehicles that were left on the awning stand.
“First, move first!”
He took Hayla away from the pack, held her in his arms, and ran to the guard post.
Indeed, as expected, the iron gate of the guard post was stained black. I ran frantically and knocked on the door, and black smoke flew in all directions along with the now somewhat familiar gust of wind.
The iron door opened with a screeching sound, and the spreading black smoke coalesced and formed two figures.
There was a young man wearing a beret and a shiny rank insignia, and a middle-aged man wearing ordinary civilian clothes.
“hmm? “Our Seungsu, what are you doing here?”
Hayla is in a dangerous situation. She didn’t have time to listen to nonsense.
“shut up-!”
Before the captain could finish speaking, he blew off the heads of the two men with a Hrunting.
As if waiting, a black disk appeared in front of the iron door, and we threw ourselves into the passage, leaving behind the roar of the endless orbit.
