My Villains Episode 049

13. Army of the Young Lion (4)

I remember the first time I encountered ‘Ulkar, the King of Slaughter’ while playing Dark World.

He was covered in blood and had such a terrible appearance that he could no longer be considered human.

The creepy appearance, the creepy background, and the directing, like a horror movie, almost made me pee.

” hey.”

I think I was more scared of the ‘Palace of Slaughter’ where I would fight him than the King of Slaughter himself.

At first glance, I heard that ‘Palace of Slaughter’ was so brutal that it almost received an A0 rating when it was released in the US. They said it was a miracle that it got an M rating.

“trunnion.”

Suddenly a question arises. What would happen if we killed Prince Ulkar here and now?

Without the King of Slaughter, Chapter 6 would not have been possible. Once the scenario of Chapter 6 evaporates, the following chapters – While he was deep in thought, something stabbed him in the side.

“evil!”

I screamed and turned my head.

Ellen was staring blankly with her legs outstretched.

“What are you doing, dude!”

“I didn’t answer even when you called.”

“When did I?”

“just now. “He was just making an idiotic expression, so I thought he was uncomfortable.”

•••Sarcastic remarks are almost a passive skill. What a bitch.

After informing the prince of the situation inside the city along with the letter, we rented a tent that was used as a warehouse and took a rest.

The prince and knights were probably discussing how to save the city by now.

When I turned my head, I saw that Grania, Luke, and Arnal had already fallen asleep.

Grania and I were able to receive treatment from the priest under Prince Ulkar’s orders.

It was my first time seeing divine power used in real life, and it was incredibly fascinating. It was as if the skin was being removed, the wound fell away and new skin came up.

In addition, a faint golden glow waved along with the sound of a devout prayer, and my faith, which I had never had before, welled up. Long live Gwangmyeong Bridge!

Unlike potions that speed up regeneration, the priest’s healing technique is said to boost vitality itself, so there are no side effects (such as sudden hunger or anemia).

When the priest said that he had borrowed the power of God, I naturally nodded.

After all, is a priest an essential element of a party?

How many years ago was it? There was a time when I went to a PC room after drinking with my friends and played Dark World together.

To pique the interest of those who sell memories, I volunteered to create a character for party play… … .

What level was that? At best it would be around 30, but I can’t remember.

Just as the completely forgotten ‘Magician Ganadara’ appeared in the form of Ellen, I hope that ‘Seonggisaida’ will appear soon.

While thinking that, I lay back down and found blue eyes looking down at me.

I frowned as I looked at Ellen, whose eyes were fluttering open, as if she wasn’t even tired.

“Aren’t you sleeping?”

“What should I do if I can’t sleep?”

“Why can’t I sleep? Hard work all day long

“I did it.”

Ellen then glanced sideways at the other colleagues and pouted her lips.

“It’s because I’m worried.”

“Do you care? Seriously, are you just pretending to be picky now?”

On our first night in South Harbor, we stayed in a shared room shared by nearly 20 other travelers.

Thinking back to that time, Ellen’s complaints were new.

“Can you sleep while smelling the smell of a rotting corpse?”

“Again, again. “I told you to be careful what you say, right?”

“That’s not it… Ugh.”

Ellen narrowed her eyebrows as if she was frustrated and continued speaking.

“The fraud that my grandfather deals with is magical power that comes from the spirit world. I don’t know about a dullard like you, but for a magician like me, I can feel the uneasy feeling very clearly… .”

“Uh-really?”

Ellen, who had been grumbling as she scratched her cheek in embarrassment, furrowed her brows.

“Can’t you feel this?”

I don’t feel it at all. Is it because I didn’t use any magical energy?

“•••well. “I’m not sure.”

“What on earth happened to the blood magician’s inspiration?”

I scratched my head and looked away from his suspicious gaze.

Ellen didn’t seem to have any intention of interrogating him, so she just kept grumbling.

“Assuming that’s the case with fraud. “Why do I have to stay in a warehouse like this?”

“It’s better than sleeping with soldiers.

“Isn’t it because the prince was considerate?”

“Hmph, I don’t like that prince either.”

Is there anything you like?

“Why the prince again?”

“There was arrogance evident in his facial expression and voice. Is that all it takes to be a royal family? “It’s like looking down on someone.”

“•••losing.”

“What did you just say?”

“You didn’t say anything?”

Ellen glanced at me with wide eyes for a moment, then buried herself in a straw bale and continued gossiping.

“I’ve never seen such an idiot wear such fancy armor while going into battle. Do you want to brag about your precious body? “My face looks like that of a gisaeng brother, so I’m afraid I’ll be mischievous.”

“Hey, stop. “Who will listen?”

He must have realized that his voice had become dangerously loud, so he kept his mouth shut. Fortunately, I didn’t feel any signs of popularity around me.

Ellen, who had been listening to her surroundings for a moment, pulled her blanket up to her nose and glanced sideways in my direction.

“•••Is that why you refused too?”

“huh? what?”

“What the prince suggested.”

“Oh, that… .”

The prince’s offer that Ellen spoke of was none other than a recruitment offer.

He must have liked my skills and asked me to join him. They say they will use it with great care as their personal soldiers.

I expressed my refusal with the utmost courtesy and in a roundabout way.

To become a subordinate of someone who will one day burn down the capital and hasten the crisis of the apocalypse… Well, wouldn’t it be a bit difficult with a normal resolution?

The prince only expressed regret and did not impose any sanctions. Fortunately, he still seemed to be a normal person.

I felt Ellen’s gaze and nodded roughly.

“Well, there isn’t that either. Going back to military service at this age is a bit… .”

“Why are you old? And, were you a soldier?”

Hey, what can I say now?

“No, rather than saying he was a soldier, I would say he led an unreasonable lifestyle.”

“•••A life similar to that of a soldier?”

Curiosity welled up in Ellen’s big eyes, but I tried to ignore it and quickly asked a question.

“you? “What would you have done if you had been offered that?”

“me? I am… .”

The prince seemed to know that Ellen was a spellcaster, but he didn’t make any suggestions. Because he was young, he thought his level would not be very great.

Also, when I saw it earlier, did it say ‘Master Limond’? Anyway, it seemed like he had a very high-level wizard with him.

There would be no reason to recruit a young wizard whose identity you do not know.

Of course, it would have been a different story if I had known that Ellen came from La-Palaise Palace… .

Ellen, who was lost in thought for a moment, shook her head.

“it’s okay. “I don’t know what kind of suspicion I would receive if I used the palace’s magic without a magician’s card.”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden? “You’ve been using a lot of magic even without that, right?”

He asked my question back with a pitiful expression.

“Is the back alley the same as the sewer and in front of the prince, you idiot?”

“Uh… different?”

“Commoners might say, ‘Wow, he’s a wizard,’ but royalty and lords are different. “You’re going to use someone to check my origins?”

“What is that? “Isn’t it true that you are from La-Palais Palace?”

“That’s true, but… .”

Ellen suddenly closed her mouth. At that sight, I was once again reminded of this guy’s condition.

right. This guy is being framed for killing his teacher and ruining it. Entrusting oneself to the prince would have been a suicidal choice.

It would be best to avoid using magic in front of powerful nobles. I’ll have to be careful in the future.

“Anyway, I have to go through various cumbersome procedures, and there are things I have to do… .”

“Hmm, I see.”

“First of all, I don’t want to be the subordinate of such an unlucky guy. “What’s the point of following a guy who only visits battlefields?”

“•••Why do you suddenly have a fever? I was just asking. Are you sad that you didn’t get the offer?”

When Ellen joked with a nonchalant expression, her expression immediately grimaced.

“Who is upset? “If you’re going to talk nonsense, go to sleep.”

“I was trying to sleep, but you started talking to me. “Who was whining about not being able to sleep?”

“Who cares when you whine, you idiot!”

“You whined, so who else would have whined? “It’s your specialty.”

“This, this dog… … !”

The night in the unfamiliar tent deepened as usual.

I opened my eyes only after the sun rose in the sky, held my dazed head, and started calculating in my head.

Ratman’s experience point is 10, which is 700 if you kill about 70 rats… .

The black slime costs 600, and the occasionally encountered corpse bugs and zombies add up to 600.

It will be a little over 100.

Torvald’s experience is about four to five hundred? Let’s say 800, including his subordinates.

The magic bandits at the camp are – about 20 rough guys? Properly dressed guys would be around 50. Let’s say it’s a little less than 500.

The guys we encountered during the chase would have similar experience points to the ‘Riding Bandit’, right? Then let’s say 150, and since we killed about 15 people, it’s about 2200?

Assuming that the experience gained through party play is about half – Is the experience gained over two days worth 2400? Then it’s not enough.

No, the battles at the campsite and the chases on the plains were essentially solo play.

Assuming I gained experience alone at that time, around 3800?

Assuming that the experience required at level 12 is 4500, and that the remaining experience was accumulated by leveling up at level 11, it seems to be roughly correct.

The reason I was covering my head as soon as I woke up was none other than leveling up.

It’s only been three days since I became level 12 while fighting Poison and his group that attacked the inn, but I’m already at level 13.

Well, the past two days have been a bit rough. I almost died last night.

It’s a bit disappointing that Ellen’s level remains the same… Considering that the experience he gained was around 2400, leveling up was still a long way off.

For the stat bonus, 4 points were invested in agility and 1 point was invested in magic power.

As a result, the current stats are 20 points for strength, 19 points for agility, 20 points for health, and 2 points for magic power.

If you include the effect of the ‘Dragon Slayer’s Ring’, your strength and agility will rise to 23 and 22, respectively.

After much deliberation, I finally decided on the magic power. Anyway, at level 15, I had to raise my blood to a certain level in order to use rank 2 skills.

Rather than suddenly increasing a few points, it would be helpful to set one point in advance.

The skill bonus was saved. This was to give them rank 2 skills as soon as they reached level 15.

It doesn’t matter if you use ‘Blood Thirst’ a little late, but ‘Blood Seek’, ‘Plunder’, and ‘Hot Blood’ are skills that are effective even if you only invest 1 point.

Of course, it seemed a bit lazi to save on skill bonuses while living in the real world… .

Even if you invest 1 or 2 points in ‘Blood Shield’ and ‘Thirst’ right now, there won’t be much change.

Since I’ve already invested 5 points in ‘Blood Blade’ or ‘Flowing Blood’, I can’t shoot any more until I unlock the next rank skill.

Thinking like that, I picked up the leather canteen and quenched my thirst.

And while I was spraying water on my face to wake up, a soldier came in from the tent and announced that there was a call from the prince.

Hey, I haven’t even eaten yet… . Even though I was grumbling to myself, I quickly got up.

“Huh.”

Ellen, who was lying curled up like a slug next to me, looked around, making stupid noises.

“It’s nothing. “Sleep some more.”

“•••Umm.”

After putting a blanket over his head to put him back to sleep, I turned around to find Grania and Arnal still asleep.

Mr. Luke had left his bed neatly tidied.

You shouldn’t wander around carelessly… … Well, I guess you have to be careful.

I carefully left the tent and arrived at the command center with the guidance of a soldier. Unlike yesterday, the only people in the tent were the prince, the wizard, and the two knights.

There were a few other soldiers and servants, but I didn’t think I needed to worry about them.

“Meet Your Highness the Third Prince.”

When I bowed and bowed, Ulkar nodded lightly, accepted the greeting, and then got straight to the point.

“The operation has been decided. “I will give your mercenaries a role as well.”

“What if you say it’s a role?”

Listening to Ulkar’s subsequent explanation, I was convinced in my heart.

This guy must be crazy.
