My Villains Episode 064

17. Popaluk Katalas (4)

I tried to keep a poker face even as I internally gritted my teeth.

“So, please don’t resist and die gracefully?”

“To put it more accurately… I hope you will accept the ritual. “Spontaneously, with open arms.”

“Who on earth would accept such an insane proposal?”

“This is a difficult offer for the criminal to accept. “I admit it.”

Luke was leaning against the window, about twenty steps away from me.

Wearing black clothes, a bronze crown, and a white staff, he had the appearance of a typical villain wizard, but his tone of voice and facial expressions imitated those of a gentle old gentleman.

“In order to achieve outstanding results, a change in thinking and hard work are required. We are having this conversation to change your mind. “I hope you will convince yourself.”

“What if I don’t understand it at all?”

“Then I have no choice but to choose to bear the risk of failure and loss.”

Saying that, Luke raised his wand and pressed Ellen’s stomach. Ellen opened her half-closed eyes wide and let out a frustrated scream.

“Off!”

“Stop it, this X cub!”

Tongue.

When I tried to attack Luke, the skeleton soldiers pushed me back with their shields. Luke looked at that and sighed.

“Actually, I don’t enjoy torture either. “It leaves irreparable scars not only on the body but also on the soul.”

“this person-”

“But what can you do? Rather than letting them die while harboring resentment, we should make them yearn to become followers, even if it means some damage to their soul and body.”

Luke squatted down and grabbed Ellen, who was sweating coldly, by her hair.

“Ugh-”

“Your eyes are still alive. but. “Noble wizards can easily break their will.”

Luke turned his head towards me and asked with a serious face.

“But Mr. Phoenix, what about you? Are you confident that you will continue to watch Miss Ellen suffer? Wouldn’t it be better to persuade Miss Ellen and be freed from the pain?”

“If you do not accept my offer, I will torture Miss Ellen until she dies. “It’s a pity, but I guess I’ll have to gamble.”

I was convinced as I looked into Luke’s deep eyes.

That’s not a guy who uses common sense.

The nonsense I said wasn’t meant to be mocking or sarcastic. It’s clear that guy really thinks like that. I believe that becoming an undead is a blessing, and that death is the only way to be free from pain.

I violently shook my head as I faced that calm madness.

Fighting head on has no chance of winning. So what should I do?

First of all, one thing is certain. Luke doesn’t want me to get hurt as much as possible. I guess I want to keep my body as intact as possible. To create a special ghoul.

If you think about it that way, it is understandable that Ellen is treated so ruthlessly. What is needed is Ellen’s soul, not her body.

There is another corner to delve into. Luke doesn’t seem to know exactly what kind of space this place, the ‘altar’, is.

Actually, I know how to trigger events and strategies, but I don’t know what exactly this place does. But wouldn’t this be enough to create a variable?

I took a deep breath and opened my mouth.

“Huh, okay.”

“•••Good? Are you accepting my offer?”

What is it that crazy guy suggests and then looks like he doesn’t believe it?

“First of all… let me talk to Ellen first. Persuasion or whatever, Ellen’s life

“I want to hear the angle.”

“Oh, you’re indecisive. Still not sure? “Now is the time for you to make decisions, not for opinions.”

Even as I internally gritted my teeth at Luke’s ridicule, I tried to speak politely.

“please. “Just a moment, just a moment.”

“Uhm… .”

Luke had a look of disappointment on his face. He touched his chin and spoke bitterly.

“That’s the truth. I told Ms. Ellen… “Some measures have been taken.”

“action?”

“It is a necessary measure for a fierce wizard. “That’s why I can’t speak right now.”

What are you talking about? Did you at least keep silence?

A necromancer would not be able to use silence. It’s not like there’s a banshee… .

Wait, really?

I looked at Ellen again.

The bleeding seemed to have stopped, but his complexion was still extremely pale, his body was limp, and his eyes were almost closed. And the piece of cloth that was crumpled into my mouth was not originally red, but soaked in blood… .

Something that had been sleeping in a corner of my heart broke.

An amusement park on weekdays, a women’s restroom, an interrogation room, and a cramped officetel.

Helplessness, my sister’s eyes, guilt.

Police lines, broken smartphones, realistic photos, broken wheelchairs.

“Wait a minute, Phoenix-kun. “Calm down.” Before I knew it, Pulsion, broken in half, was covered in her blood.

Is it because of the blue lighting? The blade looked redder and sharper than usual. Soon the lights also turned red.

Luke said something, but I violently pulled on the shield blocking my path.

“Ugh,”

The skeleton soldiers were still on the defensive. Without hesitation, I plunged the broken blade between the helmet and armor of the guy closest to me.

Crack!

No matter what their equipment is, their essence is just skeleton soldiers. The vertebrae in his neck were instantly shattered by the thrust he made with all his might, and Luke’s face was distorted in anger.

“Suppress him!”

As soon as the order was given, the skeleton soldiers’ posture changed.

“Ugh!”

Those on the front lines were all wielding legendary weapons, including the mace ‘Nakseong’, the one-handed sword ‘Geogeol’, the ax ‘Cheongrae’, and the one-handed and half-sword ‘Saint’s Destruction’. Even though their weapon skills are worse than that of an ordinary soldier, they cannot hold swords together.

But I couldn’t back down.

A sharp sense of death from behind urged me to break through. I used my anger as fuel to move forward.

“Hmph!”

Gon turned his body to throw away the mace and one-handed sword, and tilted his upper body to avoid the axe.

Fazizik.

The blue ax blade was sparking right in front of me, but I couldn’t take my eyes off the one-handed sword aiming at my neck. He shook his head, but no luck.

The blade with the devil’s symbol on it cut through the helmet and left a long scar on the cheek.

“Ugh,”

It feels like my face has been ground into asphalt on a midsummer day. However, I gritted my teeth and rolled my body between the skeleton soldiers, and was able to break through the battle lines.

“Ugh,”

red.

At that moment, a red afterimage struck my heart. I instinctively held out my hand,

Pukak!

“Kwaaak,”

The three-part blade cut the palm in half and even tore off the breastplate. The unique glaive, the Blood Vanguard, penetrated the long fabric, hard ribs, and curved iron plates with great ease.

“Off-”

Kang!

I desperately swung my pulse and struck away the spear. Then he quickly kicked off the ground and rushed at Luke.

And, this reckless rush was destined to fail.

Cooung.

The large undead, Dullahan, stepped on a heavy step and lowered a double-edged ax as big as himself.

Sooo!

“Ugh,”

Even as I was running, I twisted my body and barely managed to avoid the slash, but the red afterimage turned at a right angle like flowing water.

Fuck, what kind of movement-

“stop!”

Wow!

The double-edged ax that had been slashing in front of my eyes, breaking the pulse, changed direction again. As if caught on a fishhook, the helmet flew up toward the ceiling.

“Don’t hurt me any more!”

Crackling.

My teeth are grinding apart. Once again, his life was saved thanks to Luke’s strange obsession.

“I guess it won’t work. “I need some time to calm down.”

Luke muttered something in an angry voice and glared at me. And without any warning, dark blue eyes radiated a gloomy magical power.

“Ugh,”

dump.

My limbs became stiff like pieces of wood, and I fell backwards helplessly.

Making eye contact and becoming paralyzed… Is this the ‘Abyss Gaze’ skill? Crazy, without any spells or omens?

At that time, a tooltip with an ambiguous translation that said ‘remember up to 5 spells’ flashed through my mind.

Yes, another fixed option for the Ancient Ruler’s Crown, Memorise!

Because there was so much equipment to worry about, it was late to notice. His body was already completely paralyzed, and Luke was approaching me with angry steps.

“Even though I was so considerate, you still behave like this!”

Sigh!

Heo Yeon’s nose bled when the cane hit her face.

Damn, if it’s going to make you paralyzed, don’t worry about it. Why does it still hurt?

and… My left shoulder and hand heat up like a fireball. What is this… .

Perhaps because he couldn’t feel the heat radiating from my body, Luke spoke with a distorted expression as if he was chewing.

“Now that things have come to this, I will completely change your dirty mind. “I will cut off the skin of your entire body and make you crave for death.”

What was giving off heat was a black half-cloak and an aquamarine ring. The power emitted by the two objects was pushing against the evil external force that had taken control of the entire body.

“Of course, Ellen, she comes first.”

Luke smiled and whispered.

“We will split the small head, split the brain, extract the soul, and then shape it into a spirit. I will bleach their souls by possessing them in hundreds or thousands of bodies until all their reason evaporates. “Ellen will forever curse you for your foolish choice.”

The blood all over my body seemed to boil at the man’s whisper.

And finally, he was able to shake off the evil magic that had entangled his entire body. I punched out without hesitation.

Wow.

Luke couldn’t even scream properly and rolled around on the floor. He was lying down and his fist was stretched out, but the strength that surpassed that of a human instantly collapsed his cheekbones and eye sockets.

Damn it, I should have blown his head off right away!

There was no time for regret, and I immediately launched myself like a four-legged animal and attacked the fallen Luke.

“Kwakuu-”

The guy was crushed by me and looked up at me fiercely. I closed my eyes tightly and slammed my fist down to avoid looking into the abyss.

Crack.

“Kaaak!” She closed her eyes, but her senses were clearer than ever. After smashing her flailing arm in one go, she threw her fist again and – BOOM!

“Ugh—”

My body flew through the air with an impact as if I had been hit by a mid-size car.

Uddangtang, puk!

“Wow. Shut-”

Unfortunately, there was a rock that fell somewhere and I got cut in the waist.

I lifted my head with a dry cough and saw that the person who had blown me away was none other than Dullahan. It was blown away by the face of that ignorant axe.

“Hey, *that* dirty mercenary!”

As Luke, with one side of his face down and bleeding, screams, the empty gazes of the skeleton soldiers focus on me.

“Kill! “Kill him as whole as possible, just by cutting out his heart!”

You idiot, you still haven’t let go of your regrets.

“Ugh.”

I stood up, leaning on the rock that hit my waist. In the meantime, I realized that the stone block was none other than an ‘altar’.

I recalled the situation I had simulated in my head while talking with Luke. And, we took action immediately.

chin.

He placed his left palm on the altar and drew blood from the crack. Blood in response to my will instantly covered the stage.

I remembered a sentence written in Schpacht, the language of the ancient empire, that had been repeated in my mouth over and over again. At the same time, he shouted.

“Lord of the Underground, here comes a challenger!”
