My Villains Episode 202
45. The Crow’s Castle (2)
The moon and stars are covered by dark clouds at dawn. A fierce pillar of fire lit up the hill in the rain forest.
It was a pillar of fire that started as Ellen poured fire down the hill.
The pillar of fire soared more than 5 6 meters using oil and mana as fuel. Red-hot flames scatter hazy, acrid smoke in all directions, while swallowing wet weeds and roots, thumping! and made a loud noise.
However, no mercenary listened to the sound now.
“Eh-e-”
It was because of the many people who appeared in the dark so that they didn’t see the end.
“Ki-yat!”
At the head of the mercenaries, Fritz the ponytail screamed like a barbarian and brandished his short sword and iron flail.
He could have shrunk at the violent force as if he had no regard for defense, but the opponent was a vampire.
“Kiyaaaak—1”
Tenbierma’s followers had lost their sanity because they hadn’t sucked blood for quite a long time.
They threw their bodies at the mercenaries like beasts, flicking dark red tentacles from their three-pronged jaws.
Good, good, good-!”
In a frenzy, Fritz thrust the silver sword in his left hand into the mouth of a vampire, then let go of the handle and groped his waist.
A few vampires attacked like moons, aiming for that gap, but each time their heads were broken by the iron flail’s flaming iron ball.
“These bastards are worse than bug poop!”
Even while chattering nonstop, Fritz pulled out a glass bottle, opened the stopper with his front teeth, and drank it in at once.
No, it wasn’t inhaled.
With something in his mouth full, he drew in through his nose, puffed out his chest, and shouted
“Pooh!”
It spewed water out of its mouth like a spray gun!
“What is that crazy bastard doing?”
Gidon, who was frowning, immediately widened his eyes.
“Kie kiyaaaaaaagh!”
It was because the vampires who were hit by the water that Fritz spewed out screams while giving off cheesy smoke.
“…Surely holy water?”
As if responding to Esson’s dumbfounded murmur, Fritz burst into madness.
“Kee-ha! It is a divine breath from the Lord of Light!”
Gidon from behind said, ‘Sacrilege you son of a bitch!’ he shouted. However, Fritz giggled as if he couldn’t hear that loud voice, kicked up his silver sword, and ran towards the staggering vampires after being showered with holy water.
The freckled mummy held her breath some distance away from Fritz’s ponytail.
“Suck”
A vampire in the shape of a middle-aged woman charged at her with a shrill cry, and Mira swiftly took a step back.
At the same time, he deflected his long-nailed arm with a shield and swiftly swung his longsword, slicing the vampire’s eyes with the tip of his sword.
“Kyaaak!”
As the vampire stumbled, dripping thick bodily fluids, Mira stopped back and put her weight on the longsword, stretching it out.
hooked! The longsword she held was a magic sword imbued with some kind of spell that she had obtained in Longville the other day. Thanks to that, its sharpness and hardness were at an extraordinary level.
In addition, because the blade was coated with holy water, Mira’s attack was unmatched by low-level vampires.
“That’s-”
The vampire whose throat had been pierced dropped to his knees and scattered into dust. Mira didn’t stop with that, and moved between the vampires, showing off quick steps like a cat.
“Don’t get too close, there’s no room to swing your weapon!”
It was the shout of the veteran mercenary, Confira. He wriggled a large scar on the corner of his mouth and constantly encouraged his surroundings.
“Hey, is the thing on your waist a decoration! Stop trembling and stand in the back row, you idiots!”
Confair threw out the triangular shield held in his left hand while using a bullshit at the merchants hiding behind him.
He rammed the edge of the iron-rimmed shield into the jaws of the charging vampire. Then he lifted his shield up, bent the vampire’s neck, and slashed it under the neck with a silver-plated longsword.
Contrary to Mira and Confier’s quick and skillful movements, some mercenaries dealt with the vampires in a very ignorant way.
“Here, here! Come into this sister’s warm arms!”
The heavy soldier Dervish shouted and hit the heavy iron shield with the blade of an axe.
Kang Ka River! At the loud noise, four or five vampires rushed at her at once.
She was clad in thick scale armor, and was equipped with a steel helmet and armored shin guards. Moreover, since her face and neck were covered with a chain draper (aventail), all that was revealed was dark yellow eyes.
“Kiyaa-evil!”
The vampires attacked ferociously, but Dervish did not blink an eye and lowered his stance and held out his shield. She was over 180 cm tall, so even her crouching posture was intimidating.
As the two vampires who rushed in first grabbed the iron shield and hung up, Dervish moved about half a step to the right and let go of the shield. As the two clumsy vampires rolled on the floor, the chubby Esson lurking behind them stepped out.
“Uh-rah cha-!”
He slammed the polehammer down with a savory cry. The holy water soaked the hammer’s head bounced in all directions, and the vampire’s head, which had been drooling through the cracked jaw, was smashed at once.
In the meantime, Dervish was dealing with other vampires while holding a long-handled ax with both hands.
“Huh!”
She let out a roar with heavy breathing and threw the ax like a cut.
The vampire who attacked was hit in the face by an axe handle and staggered to the side, and the second one was split from the crown to the chest by the ax that Dervish wielded with all his might. As she was about to retrieve the
axe,
another vampire threw herself and attacked her. The vampire with power far beyond that of the criminal grabbed his arm and shoulder and opened his mouth wide.
Ugh_”
Quaggagak!
Fortunately for the dervish, the vampire’s serrated teeth were clogged in the vaccinia. Even as his teeth were grinding and cracking from biting into the hard steel, the vampire’s tentacle-like tongue wrapped around his arms and chewed his mouth.
“Keeek!”
While Dervish was struggling with the vampire grabbing his left arm, the staggered guy who had been hit by the hilt came to his senses and pounced on her.
“Such a dog-” As
the Dervish gave up his head, the vampire who attacked him bounced away with a ‘Quack’ sound. The guy who rolled about 5 meters was still pierced through the side by a heavy arrow. It was
Archer
Cole who fired the arrow. He was measuring arrows on the bow used by an Anupad archer named ‘Halfblood Juama’.
This mystical bow, tinged with dark yellow, was a composite bow as long as any longbow. Thanks to this, the tension was so great that only a handful of mercenaries could pull the string, and even Cole, who had been constantly training with the help of Phoenix and Utequai, could easily pull the string 10 times to get his shoulders and elbows strong. was going to be thrilling.
Of course, the power of the bow was as great as its tension.
Fighting!
The moment Cole let go of the string, a yellow flash flashed from the barrel of the bow, and the heavy arrow shot out in an instant, skewering the three vampires.
“Sigh!”
Derby, who survived with Cole’s help, swallowed and tilted his head. Then he pulled his chin as hard as he could to give the vampire holding him a head-butt.
bang!
“ZL geb-”
Even though the teeth that were chewing on the Vambrace were smashed to pieces, the vampire who attacked the Dervish persevered.
Dervish gritted his teeth.
“You fucking bastard!” After two or three consecutive headbutts, the vampire finally collapsed with his eyes closed.
While Dervish, who had adjusted his posture, swung his ax to finish off the relentless vampire, Simos, who had rescued the charcoal maker’s family with Heila, stepped forward holding a longsword.
“Fluitro fulgurnon (Flowing thunder)—!”
Simos uttered an incantation and ran his palm over the blade. Then, a flashing electric current followed his hand and embraced the blade.
It was a ‘blue blade’ spell, an electric type of magic.
The blue light from the blade illuminated Simos, turning his dark gray hair blue. At that moment, Simos, the one-eyed swordsman, became the notorious ‘Blue-Haired Moshi’ in the southern part of the kingdom and extended his long sword.
hooked!
“Scratch-”
The vampire stabbed in the shoulder by an electrifying blade shook his jaw that was parted from side to side and his tongue that stretched out. Even the undead vampires were paralyzed by the current flowing through their bodies and felt pain because their bodies copied those of humans.
“Huap-”
Morsis pushed forward with the knife inserted, and the electrocuted vampire fell backwards without any proper resistance.
with a plop!
The moment the vampire fell into a small puddle of water, Moses gritted his teeth and operated mana. It was not meant to radiate electricity, but to control it.
Viscount!
With a sound like thick fabric tearing, blue electricity spread across the wet ground.
The current only spread forward thanks to Moses desperately trying to control it with weak mana. At
that
moment, more than 20 vampires stopped running and rolled their eyes and collapsed.
“Huh-huh-”
While Moses was breathing heavily with the longsword’s blue light turned off, Steedman and Esanna’s Braided Umberta of the Crescent Moon Saber quickly jumped out and finished off the shaking vampires.
Meanwhile, Utequai, standing on the right side of the Oressa Tavern, was swinging a dolly like a broom.
“Mmm!”
With a voice that sounded more like a ringing in the mouth than a spirited spirit, a massive stone maul with a rock bigger than the body of a child as its head accelerated in an instant.
The vampires who were swept away by the blurry trajectory that had been created thus flew up into the night sky, bursting or crushing somewhere. And soon it turned to dust and was scattered by the wind and was caught in the raindrops and disappeared.
Even though six or seven of their own kind disappeared with every breath, the vampires didn’t seem to have any doubts or fear. It was clear when he saw Utequai running like a moth.
“Whoa-”
Utequai was not tired either. His massive, muscular body was burning with heat, and the early morning rain that flowed down his red-brown skin turned into whitish steam and flowed over his broad shoulders.
“Huh.”
But Utequai had a big grin on his face. It was because I was very happy with the heat I felt after a long time.
Unlike Utequai, Phoenix, who stood on the other side, was feeling a little annoyed.
“Oh really-”
“It really never ends.”
Phoenix showed off his splendid swordsmanship based on his monstrous physical abilities even while grumbling inside.
The elbows and wrists drew soft curves, the shoulders and chest moved vigorously, the waist and hips were stiff and flexible, and the feet were light as feathers.
Phoenix held the Hrunting with both hands above his forehead and swung it vigorously. At the same time, I moved my feet as if sliding back and forth and left and right.
Shut! Innumerable vampires were pulverized along the red line drawn with the blasting sound. The sword strike was so fast that the chest or waist would split before the headless torso collapsed.
The severed head and torso limbs turned to dust and disappeared before forming a small mound.
“Such two arms-”
Phoenix cursed and stretched his left hand forward.
The magic power that spread through the open palm grabbed the bodily fluids of the vampires that were scattered everywhere. Just before the cursed bodily fluids turned to dust, Phoenix clenched his fist.
Magic powers as powerful as that of any wizard exploded, and
Kwa Ga Gwang!
Blood raged everywhere. More than twenty vampires were torn to shreds of blood.
Compared to its splendid effect, blood was less efficient than a simple knife, but it was perfect for getting rid of irritation.
And as if responding to the explosion, the fireballs fired by Ellen fell among the vampires in succession.
Thanks to this, Poi Nyx, who felt a little relieved,
tried to raise Hrunting again.
“Keeeeeeeeeee!”
A sobbing sound, now slowly getting tired of it, rang out.
Phoenix murmured, ‘I don’t want to hear it’, but the vampires who had attacked him suddenly stopped.
For a while, Tenbierma’s followers retreated like the ebb tide.
“Damn it *huh* heh* damn it. What else is this?”
Steedman breathed heavily and looked around suspiciously, but the vampires, still swarming like dogs, only turned and ran away, as if they had lost interest in the group.
“…Are you going to back down?”
“I’m alive.”
As the ranks were about to break, Archer Cole and veteran conjurer Fritz shouted.
“Be careful, stay vigilant!”
“Are those bastards who stick to the floor first with shit on their heads?”
“Yes, wake up you pigs! The fight isn’t over yet-!”
Fritz’s shouts, which seemed to be mixed with the wind, were somehow overshadowed, and they maintained their vigilance for several minutes, but the vampires who had disappeared into the darkness did not reappear.
strange silence.
Phoenix slightly raised his head with an unknown sense of incongruity. The rain, which had been pouring hard just a moment ago, had stopped at some point.
Some time had passed, and Cole and Confir were even lowering their guard.
A thick fog hung beneath the pale sunlight that shone in the distance.
