My Villains Episode 004
2. Open your eyes (2)
The sight of sudden death just around the corner.
My mind went blank and I took a step back on trembling legs.
“Mr. Mr.X… …
I sat down in the spot where I had been resting my buttocks for the entire voyage and caught my breath.
Still, I instinctively stepped forward and picked up the fallen knife.
“Kaaak!”
“Take up your weapons! Hang in there!”
Piece boats appeared from nowhere and surrounded the ship.
Each of the small boats with a couple of pairs of oars strewn about was carrying six or seven pirates.
“Shoot!”
“Kill them all!”
They were dressed in dirty clothes, as if they had never washed in their lives.
The hair and beard were shaggy, and the person who was screaming had, no, teeth that were yellow and black.
He was carrying crude weapons, including an ax with teeth, a sword with a broken end, and a spear made of daggers tied together, but it seemed to be enough to kill a person.
“Go up!”
“Go up! “Kill me!”
The pirates were thin and small, but they were extremely vicious.
They shouted fiercely, shooting arrows and throwing spears. He neutralized the crew and stubbornly came back to the ship.
In addition to the sailors, several passengers appeared to be holding off the men with weapons.
However, after several large sailors fell to the ground from arrows fired from below, the pirates finally climbed onto the deck.
“Fuck it! I have to stop it, gagging… …
One of the sailors who resisted fell after being struck in the shoulder by an axe.
By the time he died, there seemed to be more than a dozen pirates on board the ship and shouting evil sounds.
“Wow!”
“Aaaah!”
The scene that unfolded afterwards was incredibly unrealistic.
As someone who has never killed an animal larger than a frog, the sight of people being slaughtered was difficult for me to accept.
“Ahh!”
“Save me, save me!”
Every time the pirates extended their weapons, people died cruelly.
They killed all the men, from children to the elderly, and subdued the women with merciless violence and dragged them to a boat.
There was more blood than a hero movie or an action movie, and it was less brutal than a deliberately made gore movie.
So the massacre that unfolded on the ship looked like a scene from a well-made 19+ slasher movie.
“Wow, crazy… …
I clenched my trembling chin and closed my eyes tightly.
Then, I prayed that the death that was coming to me now was just a nightmare.
However, the surrounding situation that my sensitive body sensed was realistic to the point of cruelty.
“Now, wait a minute, I surrender… … Kkeok.”
Along with the words that could not continue, the sound of flesh being torn and something spilling onto the floor was heard.
I suddenly opened my eyes when I heard a terrible sound coming from close by.
Then, with trembling hands, he began to tighten the loose breastplate.
So far, I’ve been lucky enough to avoid their eyes among the luggage, but I won’t be able to hide this big guy forever.
I did not want to face death with my eyes closed and my head down like a frightened ostrich.
Even though my hands were shaking, I steadily found the string.
Luckily, only one side of the part connecting the back armor and chest armor was loose, and its shape was similar to the laces of combat boots, so it was easy to tighten it.
After desperately tightening the breastplate, the pauldrons were completely abandoned.
The shape of the armor worn on my shoulders was unfamiliar, and the straps were tangled, so I didn’t have the confidence to tie them quickly.
‘Fuck you, I should have picked up the helmet too.’
While progressing through Chapter 1, I arrogantly said that I never picked up a normal item.
For that reason, the weapons, buckler, breastplate, etc. that I have now are all magic or rare items.
However, there were no helmets or gloves, and the boots were scrap items that had been with the character since creation.
“Huu, hu-” I took a breath and unwrapped the cloth wrapped around the knife.
The knife I took out of the leather sheath after unwrapping the cloth was a pulse with a soft curve extending all the way to the tip of the sharp blade.
It was a warden sword that I picked up mechanically while playing Chapter 1, so I couldn’t remember the name exactly.
I think it was called Lion’s Tooth or Claw or something like that.
Anyway, the Pulsion gave me a lot of peace of mind thanks to its heavy weight and comfortable grip.
The intimidating-looking blade was shiny and white, as if it had been carefully maintained. The bright, shining sunlight shattered on the Pulction blade.
The shattered light immediately caught the attention of the pirates who were wandering around the deck.
Eyes flashing with heat of unknown meaning. I met those gazes and moaned softly.
“Huh.”
•••I think I’m a little tired. I swallowed, trying to stop my shaking legs.
“What is it, you bastard?”
“Kill!”
Contrary to their intimidating shouts, they could not easily approach me. It was probably because the visuals of my level 10 blood knight, ‘Kiya the Hackman’, were quite threatening.
That was understandable. Compared to the dwarf pirates, I was a head and a half taller, and although I seemed thin at first glance, I had a solid body with muscles all over my body.
In addition, there was a breastplate full of scratches, a shield that was shaking around the waist, a sharp sword, and black eyes with a hint of red.
The level 10 blood knight, ‘Hunk Hacker’, looked like he was ‘going to have fun’, so to speak.
I glanced sideways at them and fumbled around my waist.
I wanted to take out my shield, but I was afraid to take my eyes off the vicious pirates.
I tried to grab the shield and pull it up, but it was still fixed to the belt.
While they were watching me, I quickly glanced aside to check that the shield was secure.
“This guy-”
The shield was hanging on a hook, but the problem was that the hook was rolled up inside the armor.
Probably, it had gotten tangled in the process of fastening the armor earlier.
I nervously glanced sideways at the pirates and the shield in front of me and played with my hands, but the shield had no intention of coming out.
The good news was that the pirates were just watching what I was doing.
No, I thought so.
Wedge, puck!
“Knock!”
I stumbled, trembling in terrible pain. At the same time, he instinctively swung his sword to keep the pirates in check.
“What a piece of shit.”
I took a step back, swinging my knife awkwardly.
“Ugh.”
“Look at that bastard.”
The pirates just watched with eerie smiles.
Leaning on the railing, I looked down and before I knew it, an arrow had sprouted from my thigh. It seemed like the arrowhead had penetrated just under three or four knuckles of my finger.
I tried to pull out the arrow like I saw in movies and dramas.
“Keu O} U]•!”
Ugh, even if I just lightly touch the arrow shaft, I feel tremendous pain.
Crazy, how can I pull this off!
“Haha!”
“What are you doing, you idiot?”
The pirates, who were laughing at my performance, slowly approached me.
It felt like they found out that I was not a level 10 blood knight, a ‘hack-ass bastard’, but just a weak old man.
“Ugh, Trickster, you rotten bastard-”
I wheezed and grabbed the arrow shaft again. Then I took a couple of deep breaths.
I don’t know why I did that. I think he probably didn’t have the courage to swing a knife and harm life, and he didn’t want to die without being able to do anything.
“Aaaah!”
I pulled on the arrow shaft stuck in my thigh with great force.
What I realized then was that not only was the arrow not easily pulled out, but pulling it out was more painful than hitting it.
“Kwaaaaaaak!”
With a scream that felt like vomiting blood, an arrowhead soaked in blood was pulled out, dragging the flesh. Even though I was shedding tears, I smiled triumphantly.
“Huh, huh-”
Looking at the pirates who seemed a little fed up, I threw away the bloody arrow.
“Whoa, whoo! Come on, you bastards!”
I was yelling because I thought I had gained momentum, but suddenly I screamed and fell down.
This is because another arrow flew and lodged in his shoulder.
The pirates’ laughter was heard. I woke up scratching the floor without even having time to feel shame.
Nettle, poof!
“Wow!”
The arrows flew again and struck my thighs and shins one after another.
One shot flew at my chest, but it bounced off the breastplate, leaving only a dull impact. It was lucky that it didn’t hit her neck or head.
I fell to the corner of the railing as if I had been thrown.
“Huh—”
The pain was more intense than any pain I had ever felt in my life.
I was just writhing around like a stuffed bug, making a puddle of blood on the floor.
“Off.”
My body was shaking and I couldn’t even swear.
A pulse throbbed throughout my body, as if each limb had a heart. The blood, energized by the vigorous pumping, spurted out through the wound.
A terrible chill penetrated my entire body, as if I had been naked in a freezer.
In the pain of death, I unconsciously lifted my eyes and looked up at the sky. Unlike the terrible sight on the ship, the sky was blue.
A shadow appeared along with a rustling sound. Even among the fishy scent of blood, the stench of pirates stung my nose.
“Fuck-”
Let’s take a shower. I can’t believe I should die while smelling like this.
Just as I was about to close my eyes, hot blood splashed onto my face.
however… It wasn’t my blood.
“uh.”
The pirate’s head, which was facing away from the sun, was tilted. As its head tilted abnormally, the hidden sun was revealed.
I narrowed my eyes and tried to understand the situation. The pirate standing in front had collapsed, bleeding heavily.
The neck was split in half.
What’s going on?
“He’s a wizard!”
“be careful!”
The pirates let out a yell that was almost like a scream.
Inyoung appeared from nowhere, wielding something that looked like a short ricochet. No, it wasn’t a recorder, it was a small wand.
Whoa!
A dark green wind gathered around Wand’s head.
The wind stretched forward and gradually expanded, until it swung like a sword in a semicircle.
Suddenly!
A dark green wind cut deeply into the arm of one pirate, and he screamed with the sound of boiling phlegm.
“Aaaah! XX!”
“Catch that magician!”
When I saw that magical scene, I thought of Dark World’s skills.
Sharp wind!
It was an elemental wizard’s wind-type spell that inflicted cutting damage in a narrow range.
As the elemental magician suddenly appeared inside the cabin and killed two pirates in an instant, the nearby pirates were distraught and scattered all over the deck.
Then, instead of chasing them, the Elemental Wizard started throwing sharp winds at the pirates who were shooting arrows from afar.
Every time the wind’s blade cut through the air, the pirates inevitably lost limbs or had their heads cut off.
Meanwhile, the grass-colored wind blew over the wand, scattering and gathering again and again.
The wind current flipped over the robe covering the wizard’s head.
“uh… …
When I saw that face, I unconsciously made a stupid sound.
A beautiful girl with long curly blonde hair and delicate features. She was a female elemental mage character who decorated one side of the Dark World package.
