My Villains Episode 070

19. Escape (3)

Kuwaaaa!

“Q”

The crypt shakes slightly with a loud noise.

It’s a roar that literally makes your stomach tingle. Just hearing that cry was enough to get an idea of ​​how huge the Underground Lord was.

The existence of the underground lord constantly whipped us, and thanks to this, I was constantly running down the crypt with Ellen on my back.

Ugh.

In the distance, you can see a shining magic circle. Is this already the fifth trap?

Ellen said after carefully examining the magic trap.

“Water, noon, run…” . what?”

“water? Hmm.”

The second trap we encountered had ‘Earth, Noon, Fly’ engraved on it, and when we activated the magic circle, it teleported us to the nest of ‘Lesser Sandworms’.

In fact, I didn’t even really feel like I was moving in an instant, but I blinked once and found myself stuck in a cave. It was a new experience during a difficult time.

The third trap had ‘Water, Night, Stand’ engraved on it, and when it was touched, a strong cold gust blew up. In the fourth, ‘Land, Dawn, Run’, a pack of ‘Red Hounds’ were summoned and attacked.

While I was thinking about the pitfalls of the past, Ellen, who had been thinking for a while, spoke in a calm tone.

“Probably not an attack spell. “Because there is no string called ‘seoda’.”

“and?”

“Hmm… I’m not sure, but once the monster appears-”

TZ TZ = TZ

A faint friction sound. It was the sound of the underground lord’s body scraping against the crypt.

It was approaching us faster and faster. He has no time to waste.

“Ellen, prepare your order!”

When I heard Ellen whispering a spell in my ear, I activated the trap by stabbing Hrunting with a bloody blade.

With a strange sound as if a marble was rolling on a silver tray, the magic circle swayed and spit out a huge rock.

With a heavy sound, a lumpy limb popped out from the rock that had fallen to the ground.

“•••turtle?”

What appeared was not a rock, but a turtle’s shell. It was not an ordinary shell either, but a turtle shell as big as a decent SUV, with sharp protrusions.

While I was dumbfounded for a moment, something dark came out of its shell and rushed at me.

Wedge.

“Inhale!”

I reflexively flung myself to the side to avoid the black object. Then the object bounced like a rubber band and returned to its original position.

Crrrrr!

The identity of the black object was none other than the head of a turtle. It suddenly stretched its neck and attacked like a snake.

The monster that appeared was a ‘wolf turtle’ with strong jaws, rough skin, thick limbs, and a tail.

It lowered its head low and growled, while occasionally banging its chin and making a threatening metallic sound.

Wow, you’re so big. It is by far the largest monster I have ever encountered.

But being surprised was being surprised, and the important thing now was to break through that guy. I held the Hrunting with both hands with all my concentration.

At the same time, the wolf turtle attacked again. The sight of a maw larger than my torso opening wide and rushing in makes my heart ache.

“Ugh!”

I jumped to the side to avoid its attack and at the same time struck down Hrunting with all my might.

However, even Hrunting, which was scattering red light, was not enough to cut off the guy’s head; it only penetrated about half a span. If it had been an ordinary knife rather than a Hrunting one, it probably wouldn’t have even scratched the leather.

Kkkkkk!

But that alone must have been quite a pain for him. The tortoise made a strange noise, like the scream of an old man, and jerked its neck.

“Huh? Hundreds of millions?” Then, I, who was stabbing the knife into his neck, was also taken away.

“Tsk!”

Just before I crashed into the turtle’s shell, I quickly turned around and stepped on a solid rock.

Kueheh, keueh!

The turtle tried hard to hide its head inside its shell, but the hrunting stuck on the back of its neck was stuck in the shell.

I gripped the handle tightly and started sucking out the guy’s blood. Every time the bloody blade waved greedily, blood welled up from the turtle’s wound.

At that time, Ellen completed the order.

“Ostende te, quod papillon!”

Wow, even though I was going crazy and going wild, he was able to do magic while riding me. Because I don’t have the concentration of this world.

As if responding to the man’s crackling voice, a white butterfly bloomed from Ellen’s fingertips. The new spell I acquired as I leveled up was ‘Frost Butterfly’, a rank 1.5 cold skill.

“Durand-am eom!”

At Ellen’s command, the butterfly flapped its wings vigorously.

Every time the white wings flapped, sparkling ice pieces flew in all directions. The frost butterfly that flew away began to blow cold air into the shell of the wolf turtle.

Kkkkkk!

The tortoise struggled desperately, but it could not shake off the frost butterfly and me.

I held on tightly to the shell and Hrunting and sucked out the blood endlessly, and the Serinabee flew like a dance, deflecting the attack.

Kiyi.

The wolf turtle became increasingly dull. He desperately swung his tail and succeeded in destroying the frost butterfly, but he was unable to shake me off in the end. The giant turtle eventually died with frost covering its entire body.

Ugh, this turtle bastard is really tough. There is no pain in my hands, arms, or legs as I endure the guy’s struggles.

“I think ‘run’ is a string that means summoning a monster.”

“I guess so. Phew, if this guy shows up again-”

Before I could finish speaking, a heavy roar was heard from behind.

Kugugoong!

A huge sound coming from a short distance away.

I got goosebumps down my spine and started running without looking back.

I slowed down a bit because the ground shook as if there had been an earthquake, but I managed to keep my balance and picked up speed.

“•••Inhale,”

I can feel Ellen’s breath on my back. The man’s arm around her neck seemed to stiffen for a moment, but then began to tremble. She must have looked back.

“Poi, more, faster.”

Instead of opening my mouth, I desperately played with my legs. Then, I discovered a vertical tunnel in front of me and screamed.

“Ellen, the spirit of dance!”

As soon as those words were out, Ellen started chanting a spell, and without hesitation, I threw myself into the vertical tunnel.

“Ventum, Av-em!”

A wind of will swirled around and supported Ellen and mine.

Ellen must have consumed a huge amount of mana to give strength to the spirit. But the only result was to slow down the fall a little.

This probably means that Ellen’s magic power and skill level are still insufficient… .

rz rz rz rz At that time, when I heard a huge figure above the vertical tunnel, I unconsciously tilted my head upward.

Guuuu.

A pair of eye lights in the deep darkness

It’s flashing.

Scarlet eyes the size of a human body, slowly opening vertical pupils, a foul smell as if something was rotting, the sound of scales grazing a pile of dirt… .

The underground lord, the crypt’s greatest predator, was looking down on us.

“Heh ■Heh O —” —–,–

Ellen looked up at the guy and fell into a moment of panic.

The underground lord was so threatening that he could blow our minds away with just a glance, and in the aftermath, the dance spirit that supported us also disappeared.

The subsequent fall.

“Ugh!”

I screamed without realizing it, but luckily the tunnel was almost over.

Crack!

As soon as I managed to land, I started running forward as if bouncing.

Dudduddu!

The underground lord’s enormous presence was clearly conveyed without even having to look at it.

The horizontal cave following the vertical cave was wider and taller than before. Thanks to this, the roar made by the underground monarch also echoed strongly.

My chin is shaking unconsciously. While gritting my teeth and running into the darkness, I discovered the sixth magic trap.

“Ellen! Trap ahead!”

“O” —–9

“Calm down, dude!”

Ellen shook her head gently and spoke in a trembling voice.

“Sky, night, fly?”

“sky?”

Damn, ‘sky’ is a string I’ve never seen before… !

But aside from the string, the symbol that appears in the middle is ridiculously ominous.

In many of the pitfalls we have encountered so far, it was often difficult to understand the meaning of the symbols.

A dog-shaped symbol that looks like a hand, a wind-shaped symbol that looks like a flower, a confusing symbol as to whether it is a snake or an earthworm… .

However, the symbols shown now were not very confusing. A human body, an animal’s head, a pair of horns on the forehead, and membrane wings resembling those of a bat… . It was a typical demonic figure.

“Damn it, what is this-”

I gritted my teeth and looked back.

Kuwaoo!

Just then, a roar so loud that it made my skin tingle was heard. It seemed as if even a ounce of fighting spirit was broken.

The devil in front, the underground lord behind.

No matter how weak a demon-type monster is, you have to be in the late 20s to deal with it.

Ugh, if you get caught by the underground lord, you will definitely die anyway. Then it would be better… .

“Poi, come closer.”

“what?”

” hurry!”

At Ellen’s urging, I approached the magic trap. Then the guy started muttering something to himself.

“This thing looks too imposing to be a trap. If it was a real trap, it would have been hidden so that no one would notice. At this level, it wouldn’t have been difficult to mix invisibility… .”

“Ellen, there is no time for this now!”

“There are too many unnecessary techniques to be considered a trap. Revealing clues with strings, as well as engraving symbols in the middle… .”

Boom, boom, boom!

I turned around when I heard a loud noise that shook the ground. And at that moment, I almost took my breath away.

The Underworld Lord, who was crawling like a giant snake, was slowly spreading his legs that were close to his body. The light emitted from the magic trap flashed and scattered on its sharp legs.

The underground monster was a monster that looked like a centipede’s legs attached to a giant snake.

All that came into view was a huge head, part of the body, three pairs of blade-like legs, and dark red shiny scales.

But that alone made it more terrifying than any other legendary monster.

“Yes, the reason this spell is included is to change the method of activation. then?”

“Ellen, no more,”

Just as I was about to activate the trap out of desperation, Ellen stretched out her hand first.

The mana that flowed from its white hand stuck to the magic circle. I was mentally prepared, but the trap didn’t work.

“This?”

Ellen muttered something unintelligible and waved her hands. Then, the string engraved on the bottom left of the magic circle flashed and changed. Ellen recited the string as if cheering.

“Sky, noon, fly!”

“what?”

“Look at that!”

Ellen pointed to the symbol in the center of the magic circle. The demon’s image shattered and took on a new shape.

Partz tsk tsk.

The new symbol that emerged was an intuitive shape that anyone could understand at a glance.

“•••sun?”

“Poi, run!”

Suwaang!

When I heard Ellen’s cry and a vicious sound, I instinctively threw myself.

Just before the Underlord’s blade-like legs pierced us, my hand touched the magic circle where the sun symbol appeared.

bang!

With a loud noise that shattered the ground, Ellen and I were engulfed in a strange magical power.
