My Villains Episode 059

16. Disappearance (3)

Kwasik!

The grouper’s mouth instantly crushed its head.

“Wow.”

If it hadn’t been for the helmet, the guy’s grinding teeth would have chewed his head off like chewing gum.

Struggling against the suffocating stench and the stabbing pain in my neck, I plunged the pulse into its stomach.

“Gergh!”

At that time, something sharp was thrown from behind and pierced my thigh.

Sigh!

“Keuok.”

I instinctively grabbed the guy who bit my head and rolled on the ground, so I wasn’t stabbed too deeply.

Nevertheless, the unexpected blow was incredibly painful.

“Ugh, those little fish!”

I put my hand into the gills of the grouper that was persistently biting my head.

To avoid other guys’ attacks, they rolled around frantically on the water-filled ground, while at the same time clasping their hands to burst and tear everything they could catch.

“Grrrh••••••

With one last breath of hot, stink-filled breath, it collapsed, and I quickly pulled out my head and stood up, splashing water.

Then, as if it had been waiting, a stream of water shot out by Golden Molly struck my face.

Suwaaa!

“Phew,”

As I gritted my teeth and raised my shield, a stern voice came from behind me.

“Plamya!”

When I looked to the side, I saw that the owner of the voice, Mr. Luke, was whacking the head of the approaching looper with his quarterstaff.

At the same time, three streams of blue flames shot out in succession from the fingertips of Mr. Luke, who had completed the spell.

“Sozhgi e-to!”

At Mr. Luke’s command, the wisps shot towards Golden Molly.

As I said before, the will-o’-the-wisp fire wasn’t that hot, despite its blue color.

But that didn’t mean I couldn’t make a face.

Chi-ik!

“Kyaaargh—!”

As the wisps enveloped her face, Golden Molly screamed and swung her wand.

The goblin fire, which was quickly dodging through the air, was eventually hit by a stream of water and extinguished.

By the time the golden molly turned to look at me, I had already killed three groupers and was holding the bone harpoon.

“Hmph!”

Because the waist and shoulders were bent like a bow, the bone harpoon was fired at incredible speed.

Because the wisps had narrowed her irises, Golden Molly did not notice the harpoon flying through the darkness.

Pukak!

“Kegh-”

The harpoon was placed precisely in the center of the slender female body’s chest. Her beautiful face was marred by burns and pain,

“Cikerr-Thuar, Huargh!”

Holy shit, what’s so tough?

As he tried his best to recite the spell, the water that was up to his knees began to quiver ominously.

Out of impatience, I picked up the half-cut iron skewer and threw it away.

Kagak.

However, the iron skewer narrowly missed, leaving a long scar on the stone wall. It was because Golden Molly stumbled and fell.

“Phoenix-kun, get out of there!”

“I want to do that too, huh!”

I tried desperately to get out of the water, but I couldn’t move because the groupers surrounding me were viciously attacking me.

“Grrrrgh.”

“Keregh!”

Some of the groupers surrounding me turned their gaze to Mr. Luke. Then Mr. Luke finally pulled out the final card.

“Otvet’ mne, gruz- Vy-polnit’ dogovor”

I still couldn’t understand what it meant, but it was a spell I was already familiar with.

I quickly grabbed the straw ball attached to the inside of the shield.

“Krik-iz bezdny, Yaaal—!”

As soon as the ‘Scream of the Abyss’ spell was completed, the power of Golden Molly’s magic also covered the water.

Damn it!

“Gyaaargh!”

“Kieeeh!”

In an instant, chaos unfolded.

The water began to freeze from the surface, and the groupers under Mr. Luke’s spell screamed and ran away in all directions.

The groupers that had avoided the spell cowered without knowing what was going on, and I rushed in like a moon, cut them down, and escaped out of the water.

The rapidly freezing water caught my legs, but I gritted my teeth and pulled my feet out, sending ice cubes flying everywhere.

Crack!

“Huh.”

As I step out of the water and onto land, I let out a sigh of relief.

When I looked back, the water trapped in the invisible wall had already frozen solid.

“Are you okay?”

“Ha, yes. “I almost died,”

Awesome!

I turned around when I heard a huge roar.

Beyond the ice blocks that filled the passageway, a Golden Molly that had been harpooned in the chest was panting heavily. A terrible smile appeared on her ugly, distorted womanly face.

Holy shit, that can’t be-

“Eregh ranterg…!”

“Get down!”

At the spell that flowed out with my last breath, I quickly fell down and covered my head with my shield. Mr. Luke also reflexively ducked, and at that moment.

bang

The ice block exploded.

“Huh?”

Ellen leaned against the wall, holding her forearms.

As the already white hand squeezed the wound so that it became even paler, the red blood dyed the robe darkly.

It was stupid to pull the crossbow string with my injured arm.

‘.••That was a stupid thing to do.’

Yes, no matter how you think about it, it was a stupid thing to do.

Coming down alone to a dangerous place like a sewer.

I also expected that the secret passage was still open.

I also wasted mana by using spells on zombies and worms.

It was an uncharacteristically stupid thing to do.

“Huu, hu, huu.”

Although she had acted impulsively, Ellen thought her plan was a good one.

Since I had a map copied from the sewer blueprint, I didn’t have to worry about getting lost.

If the magic bandits were guarding the secret passage, they would burn the crystallized sleeping potion to make them fall asleep.

Since my mana had increased a few days ago and I had learned a new spell, I thought I would be able to overcome most threats.

The plan was definitely a good one.

Clap.

“Sigh.”

Ellen gasped at the sound of wet footsteps. Then she placed a Molotov cocktail on the crossbow that had been used to measure the demonstration.

Fishmen usually have strong resistance to things like poison and sleep.

It was expected that poisoning would be unlikely unless a poisonous bottle was put directly into the gills or maw.

Therefore, sprinkling oil and inserting a flaming arrow was the most effective attack method Ellen had at the moment.

‘If only I had realized lightning-type magic… damn.’

Crunch, crunch.

As the sound of footsteps approached, Ellen unconsciously covered her nose. It was because of the extremely fishy smell.

His nose was blocked, but his ears were pricked up. It was to calculate how many people there were by the sound of their footsteps.

‘two? three?’

The sound of footsteps echoed dizzyingly due to the narrow terrain of the sewer.

‘… I don’t know.’

With Ellen’s slightly better than average senses, it was difficult to count the number of enemies.

At this moment, Ellen thought of Phoenix.

Although he sometimes acted like a jerk, Poynix was always a man who took the lead in facing danger.

His ears were so bright that he could easily detect threats coming from dozens of meters away.

If he had been there, he would have noticed their approach long ago and counted them.

Then, he would have attacked them like an animal and cut them down in an instant.

‘A stupid, perverted, idiot.’

He immediately shook his head and let go of his ugly face.

Ellen moved her lips and began to chant a small spell. The hand that was holding her wound made a hand sign, step by step.

If you had enough mana, you could skip the hand seal and memorize the spell briefly, but that wasn’t the case right now.

Mana had to be conserved through high mental concentration, delicate hand seals, and lengthy spells.

Sniff.

“Skares Orugh—”

“Orugh, Regarh (smell, delicious).”

It’s a bubbling voice that gives me the creeps every time I hear it. Ellen, who had gauged the distance by sound, was convinced that now was the time to take action.

“Whoop whoop.”

Ellen, out of breath, quickly turned around and fired a crossbow at the guys.

Clang, clink!

“Argh?”

“Zerri-hugh (it’s an attack)!”

The perch people were startled and jumped when they saw the broken glass bottle on the floor. However, when they realized that the contents had not reached them at all, they burst out laughing.

Ellen completed the spell while watching the sea bass men adjust their weapons.

“Ignis (fire)!”

The flames wrapped around the left arm gathered at the fingertips, stretched out, and then shot out.

Grumble!

“Gergh?”

“Ervirgh (it’s all magic)! ”

As a pillar of fire rose in the middle of the passage, the perch people hesitated and stepped back.

Ellen quickly completed another spell before they rushed in.

“Ventum, Av-em (Ventum, Av-em)!”

The spell was only two words, and the prisoner could only point out one. Since there was almost no concentration, a huge amount of mana was literally drained out.

“O ugh” — —I •

Ellen held her head and stumbled, but persistently controlled the spell.

Phew. With a small gust of wind, a wind with spirituality was born. It was ‘Dance Spirit’, a rank 1 wind spell.

“Saltare (dance)!”

At Ellen’s command, the transparent wind spirit threw itself into the pillar of fire. Then, he started dancing like crazy.

Huooh.

The pillar of fire rising toward the ceiling was caught up in the spirit’s dance and twisted.

Just like that, a whirlwind of flames struck the sea bass men.

“Kyargh-!”

“Keregh (Kill)!”

Among the screaming companions, a perch man raised a harpoon. Stumbling, holding her dizzy head, Ellen collapsed and hid her body in her corner.

Heh, kagak.

“Ugh.”

The harpoon that grazed his hair hit the plaster wall and sparks flew. Ellen’s face turned pale as she unholstered her crossbow.

The dance spirit, which possessed intelligence and ego despite its lack of energy, swung the pillar of fire wildly for its master.

Thanks to this, four of the seven sea bass people were completely charred, and the remaining three were completely tanned and had to turn a blind eye.

Kkeiigik, chin.

“Ugh.”

Ellen, who had been whimpering and protesting, swallowed her moans from the pain caused by the open wound. Then suddenly I gritted my teeth.

“What a fool.”

‘Just throw it!’

Ellen quickly turned the corner and threw a Molotov cocktail at the pillar of fire that was slowly losing strength.

Clink!

The firebomb missed slightly, but the dance spirit immediately controlled the whirlwind and ignited the fire.

Whoa!

A second pillar of fire erupted, and the spirit continued to dance.

Ellen caught a glimpse of the red glow and started running in the opposite direction. This is because fishmen were noisily gathering beyond the pillar of fire.

The torch had already been lost a long time ago, so Ellen had to run through the pitch darkness.

Although she stumbled several times because the floor boards were broken here and there, Ellen ran persistently down the passage.

How long did it run? Ellen suddenly got her foot caught in a rising silt.

“Ugh!” Uddangtang, splash!

Not only did he fall hard, he fell down through the mud and ended up hitting his head in the central waterway.

“Ugh.”

Hips and knees momentarily paralyzed by numb pain, palms with torn skin, sewage soaking the face and hair, sharply cut forearms, depleted mana, and pitch-black darkness.

“O huh O -5T O……”

—- —I 9 ■ — •• ■— •

Pain, fear, helplessness, anger, self-blame.

Ellen burst into tears without realizing it.

Ellen knew that if she continued like this, she would be caught by the terrible sea bass people, but Ellen lay down and couldn’t move.

How long did you sob?

A faint echo was heard from far away.

-Yaaaaal!

M | 99

Ellen, who had been resting her head in the dirt, suddenly raised her head. She had already stopped crying.

It’s an order. Old Luke’s spell!

There’s no way the old man came down alone, so Poi must be with him. She has come to save herself!

Ellen was so ecstatic that she even forgot that she had come down on her own feet.

‘Which side is it?’

Ellen stood up unsteadily.

The sound could be heard, but the distance seemed to be quite long as the spell had no effect.

It was that moment when I was listening intently to see if I could hear another sound.

Kaaaaang!

Ellen shrugged her shoulders at the tremendous roar. It was not a simple explosion, but a sharp sound as if something in her was breaking.

“What was it… ?”

As soon as Ellen muttered, a vibration came from far away.

Googoo googung.

A loud noise as if something was pouring or collapsing.

Before Ellen could even grasp the situation, her feet shook.

“Ugh!”

A nearby mound of dirt collapsed, and the soil began to flow somewhere.

‘What, is it collapsing?’

Fear fills his blue eyes.

‘Where, where should I go?’

A loud noise was coming from ahead. Ellen instinctively turned around and went forward, fumbling through the vomit, but it was her worst choice.

Shoot!

“Tsk, wow!”

The flowing mud engulfed Ellen like quicksand in the desert.
