My Villains Chapter 272
interlude. his lovers (4)
There are many types of elixirs in the world.
Among them, people often think of things like the ‘recovery elixir’ that repairs disabilities and wounds, the ‘time elixir’ that turns the body’s time back into the past, and the ‘augmentation elixir’ that increases mana.
However, since the name Elixir itself is a general term for elixirs created through alchemy, there are countless types of Elixir that are not counted.
‘But it’s just ‘elixir’?’
For that reason, the spell thief Saitz, standing in a decaying garden of La Palais Palace, was hiding behind Ellen and the mercenaries, only rolling his eyes.
‘…What kind of elixir are you talking about?’
Saitsu tried to make his own judgement, but his head couldn’t roll properly as he was struggling to breathe.
It is a situation where all seven grandmasters of the palace are gathered and watching this side. If you don’t feel pressured, that’s a strange thing to be.
‘The others didn’t know, but I didn’t know that even those old monsters would appear.’
He looked back and forth between the old man with long white eyebrows and the young woman with a black veil draped under her eyes.
Olnar Radakalin and Nashal Anway were two of the most prominent wizards in the kingdom.
Those two alone are magicians who can deal with the army. However, since the rest of the grandmasters and even the elite battle magicians were aiming their wands at this direction, it seemed as if there was no way out.
‘Shit. I don’t know what the hell is going on. It’s full of questionable things.’
Around the time I grumbled inside like that.
Grandmaster Einar, wearing a golden mask, returned on a black carpet. Approaching Ellen, she handed her a small glass bottle with a sunken look.
“What are you going to do here?” “yes.”
What was in the glass bottle was a light blue solution with a heavy texture. Ellen looked at it in the dim sunlight and continued speaking calmly.
“Master made it, right?”
“…Yes, one of Jemar’s works. I probably made it when you were just taking your toes.”
“is that so.”
As Ellen closed her eyes and wrapped the vial around it, Nar, the child in the golden mask, hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth.
“There is no need to curse here. Let’s go to the main palace.”
“no.”
Ellen opened her eyes slowly, adjusting her crimson hat with her crimson plume.
“I want as many wizards as possible to see it.”
Einar, seeing the firm determination in her eyes, swallowed a sigh and stepped back.
The other six grandmasters just watched Ellen in silence. texture
It was the attitude of going after checking the department.
Ellen fidgeted with her vial for a moment and she whispered something. She seemed to be talking to someone, and it was like she was casting a spell on a vial.
After her whisper, she looked behind her.
“Simos. start.”
As soon as Ellen’s words had run out, one-eyed Simos, who had been standing behind her, rushed at Saitsu.
“What are you doing right now-”
Surprised Saitsu waved her wrinkled hand
The moment I tried to resist
“Judial flutro.”
With a low spell, her blue-energy grip gripped the nape of her neck.
dismissal.
“Kkeuk”
Saitsu collapsed, covering her eyes.
Cole, who was wary of the surroundings with a string drawn, received the elixir from Ellen and approached the sights.
“Elenaar! What is this?” Hogende, an old woman wearing a velvet dress and heavy make-up, shouted. Ellen replied with her expressionless face.
“I am proving my innocence, Grand Master Hoogende. Are there any problems?”
“Why are you feeding the elixir to that old man to prove your innocence!”
“Wait a minute. You’ll find out soon.”
“what!”
The battle wizards in the siege exchanged glances with each other with puzzled faces.
Liwan Doian-Lake looked on with a curious look on his face, and Nashal Anwei also crossed his arms and was silent.
Aktu Pir, who had an unmighty body like a sorceress, tried to step out, holding out a hand full of golden rings, but Olnar, a curly old man, shook her head, and backed away with a strange look.
Galnar, a handsome man in his late thirties, who was busy rolling his eyes, took another look at the old man caught in Simos’ clutches in an ominous mood.
“……no way.” Only then did he realize that the old man there was Sai Tsu, a spell thief, and hurriedly stretched out his hand.
“Don’t act recklessly, Elenar!”
A shimmering silver powder came out of Galnar’s sleeve as he immediately shouted. And in an instant, it formed a sphere on the palm of my hand.
“Tryscallo jellat!”
The silver orb lengthened according to Galnar’s spell and flew away with a ‘Kaang!’ sound. The high-ranking earth spell ‘Crystal Spear’ was aimed at Cole who was holding the Elixir.
However, from the moment Galnar shouted, Ellen’s eyes were already shining bright blue.
J Tsutsutsu.
A chill rushed over her head. Four icicles the size of her palm sprouted out of the air. The moment the crystal window was shot with a roar, the frost awls were also shot at the same time.
Tadadang!
The crystal window is a powerful spell that can pierce through a thick castle wall at once. But three frost awls hit her side in quick succession, knocking her off course.
“Ugh”
“Avoid the blood!”
On the other side, the battle wizards who were building a siege threw themselves into a state of astonishment.
Wedge!
The crystal window passed dangerously over their heads, making a bloody heavy sound. And after knocking over three or four trees and breaking a rock, they were slammed to the ground.
Quaang!
Amid the dust that bloomed in the distance, Ellen looked at Galnar with a calm face.
“You better be careful.”
Gal Nar stroked his gloved hand under his eyes.
blood came out of her While three frostbores hit the crystal spear, the last one grazed Galnar.
“Because the neck or the heart will be next.”
At Ellen’s cold warning, Gal Nar gripped her fist and gnashed her teeth.
“Elenaar. dare you-”
“stop.”
All Nar, who had been watching silently, tried to hold back his great-grandson by tying his beard as if to cover his mouth.
“What kind of nonsense is this in front of the seniors and juniors in the palace?”
“…sorry.”
As Nar, who gritted her teeth, corrected her expression and stepped back, Ellen sat down on a rock, securing her robes.
Right after that, the battle mages began to hum.
“…what did I see?”
“Wasn’t that just a video game?”
“Could it be? The casting time was ridiculously short…
Ellen was a nerd in the palace who, until a year ago, couldn’t handle one of her spells. The move she showed in a short moment was enough to shake her battle mages.
“You mean you did the spell-enhancing high-speed chant and the silent chant all at once?”
“Huh, that’s ridiculous.”
The skill of extracting multiple frost awls, that is, ‘strengthening spells’, is a level that can be reached by skilled wizards.
‘High-speed chanting’ also requires a special talent, but it wasn’t that rare.
But Muyoungchang is different.
A magician capable of invincibility is treated as a psychic even among other magicians. Because it is a skill that can only be obtained through heaven-sent talent and bone-breaking training.
“That’s not all. I hit both targets at the same time. One of them was a flying crystal spear.”
“…it’s crazy.”
There was silence for a while.
They were the elite of La Palais Palace, and most of them held the title of Master. It means to be a battle magician who can receive the best treatment anywhere in the middle world.
All of them had dejected expressions on their faces.
“…How old are you this year? I know you are over 15.”
“Soon he will be eighteen.”
“eighteen? It’s really nonsense.”
The number that Ellen had just shown was so high that it could not even be imitated.
Those who were not convinced gave negative opinions.
“Isn’t it… the power of forbidden books?”
“No matter how forbidden it is, it is only a scrap of a book. You can learn new spells or increase your magical power with it, but you won’t get that kind of talent.”
“…They say you can’t cheat blood, so it’s no wonder you’re not related to the Great Wizard.” The battle mages who looked sideways at Ellen had her face stained with admiration, jealousy, fear, and inferiority complex.
Grandmasters’ reactions were not much different either.
Except for Einar, who was genuinely surprised, and Olnar, who hid his smile with a hand stroking his beard, and Galnar, who had regained his composure before he knew it, everyone else was looking at Ellen with a mixture of surprise and doubt.
Either way, Ellen watched the amount Cole was doing.
Cole uncapped the elixir and knelt in front of her eyesight. Seetes, who had been shaking his limbs with his neck crushed by Simos’ grip, suddenly raised his head.
“Aggeuk, what are you doing! Get out of here!”
“Be gentle, Saits.”
“Ellen Ellen. You swore an oath to me, didn’t you!”
“okay. I swore.”
“Then what the hell is this!”
Seetes struggled desperately, but Ellen only looked down at him with an emotionless gaze.
“I have to testify first. That elixir will help with that.”
“yes? what is that”
“That’s the ‘elixir of memory’. It allows me to pass on memories to others.”
“…Memory elixir?”
“huh. It’s a little painful to drink it. You’d rather be tied up like that than struggling and hurting yourself.”
Saitsu, who had heard rumors about the Elixir of Memory, trembled at the sense of betrayal.
“You cheated on me!”
“You stole the forbidden book and put my master to death.”
Ellen continued her words, tidying up the hem of her robe with her relaxed hands.
“Did you think I would allow you to save your life without any pain or trial?”
“Don’t worry too much. I will keep my promise someday.”
Saits was about to scream, but Cole, who confirmed Ellen’s nod, grabbed his cheek violently.
Cole did not use the gentle method of calming the struggling Sitsu and carefully pouring the elixir between his chapped lips.
“Open your mouth.”
“Agag agagaga-!”
He stuffed the entire unstopped glass bottle into Saitsu’s mouth.
Saitsu desperately moved his tongue and tried to push his vial away. Cole put his leather-gloved hand over his mouth and sealed it.
A heavy, sky-blue solution flowed down his throat.
“Geugh ghuh.”
The effect of the elixir appeared quickly.
Saitsu rolled his eyes and had his seizures, and Cole and Simos held him tight.
“Ghehe Geheek-!”
For a moment, Saitsu squirted a cloudy azure liquid from every orifice of his face. The solution resembling mercury ruptured the eyeballs and eardrums, and blood flowed out.
As Ellen swung her wand towards it, the azure liquid formed a ball and floated around her in the air.
“I will begin.”
No one answered. Ellen moved the wand regardless.
Kururung.
When the azure solution vibrated with a strange sound, the smooth surface split into black, gray and white. Then, a certain shape or scene was prepared.
True to its name, the ‘Memory Elixir’, it projected Saitz’s memories.
The duration was less than 5 minutes, but the dizzying scene contained enough of the process of him sneaking into the palace, injuring Jemar, and stealing the forbidden book.
Around the time when Saits, who had fled to Raven’s Cliff, sat on the White Throne with the help of the Dark Knight in exchange for the forbidden book. The sky-blue solution became transparent water and collapsed.
Perhaps it was because she hadn’t seen her longed-for teacher in a while, she choked for a moment, but Ellen quickly calmed her down and opened her mouth.
“…Can this prove my innocence?” She had no one to speak of. Everyone seemed to be in trouble.
Galnar glanced sideways at the other grandmasters. Ellen could read her anxiety or nervousness in him.
” first”
Fortunately for Galnar, Aktu Pir stepped forward with her arms crossed.
“I have confirmed the matter with Jemar and the forbidden book.”
“Do you have anything else to say?”
“of course!”
Aktufir was famous among grandmasters for strictly following the precepts.
So whenever something happened in the palace he would pretend to be a magistrate or a judge, and it seemed he would do it this time as well.
“Didn’t you already tell me? You killed three wizards including Master Widal. And hagni!”
“Yes yep!”
“Why did you come alone? What about Gonzalai and Olide?”
“That Grandmaster Aktupyr. that
this…
Master Hagni was a genius in his own right and was famous for his dirty personality, but even he couldn’t straighten his back properly in front of the grandmaster.
“Olide fled with the bounty mercenaries he hired. And Gonzalai… is dead.”
“what?”
“I’m sorry, Grandmaster Aktufir. There is no time to even use your hands”
“You shut up.”
Aktufir looked back at Ellen, muttering “Erena Le-” in an angry voice.
“There are four people in total. I killed four palace wizards!”
“I couldn’t help it. They drop lightning bolts and throw fireballs, but you can’t just stand still.”
“You should have surrendered! no no no He had to believe in his innocence from the beginning and explain in front of us.”
“That is nonsense.”
“what?”
“If I had surrendered, I would have returned to the palace as a corpse, and if I had tried to explain, that would have been the case.”
Ellen pointed at her eyesight while saying that.
As a result of drinking the elixir of time, he was dripping blood from his empty eye sockets and nose and ears. It never seemed normal to see him muttering ‘Ahhhh’ with blood frothing at his mouth.
“We are not the reckless lords, Elenar. If you proved your innocence and drank the elixir of time, would we have left you as a degenerate?”
“As you may have guessed, there is someone in the palace who wants to kill me.”
Ellen’s gaze was nailed to Gal Nar, her expressionless face.
“How many days would you have survived if you had become a crippled person who couldn’t cover your excrement and urine in this situation?”
“The language is excessive. Do you not believe in the fairness of the palace?”
“If the palace had been really fair, they wouldn’t have sent a pursuit party.”
“They were aspirants to set justice, not those who spoke for the will of the whole palace.”
“Grandmaster Aktupyr. Please stop talking nonsense that you don’t even believe in.”
“gibberish? Did you just say bullshit?”
Aktufir looked angry and was about to shoot at him, but Galnar, who had been standing still, took a step forward.
“Stop it, Grandmaster Aktupir. It hurts my heart to see him raise his voice because of me.”
“…What are you talking about all of a sudden? When did I raise my voice because of you?”
Gal Nar looked back at his audience and put on an apologetic expression.
“This is a garden where the hand of the founder is left as history. In the end, the reason why this quarrel came and went in such a place was because of the false accusations made by my nephew, Elenar. And it was entirely my mistake that Elenar was framed.”
“……mistake?”
“yes. How could this not be a mistake, since he hastily suspected his nephew based only on the circumstances?”
Ellen’s eyes narrowed.
‘You started to get suspicious, so you went first. swine.’
Galnar took a step forward before anyone else could rebuke him. They pretend to be remorseful, admit their mistakes, and pretend that what they have done is a mistake.
“I’m sorry Elena. I did something bad to you.”
Making eye contact with Galnar who said so, Ellen glanced over at the crowd.
As I traveled the world, I looked at it with a sharper eye, and it seemed like I was going to cover it up and move on regardless of what had happened before.
“Elena, let’s go to the main palace for now.”
Old man and old man Olnar said.
“No matter what you’ve been through, I’ll protect you. You will need some time.”
Ellen replied to herself, “No, I don’t need it.” As an ordinary girl, she had no intention of wasting her time in the palace.
“She has been through a lot on the continent,” she said. Let’s go and rest in the arms of our blood relatives.”
Ellen was convinced by the way she soothed herself with the help of Nar, the child of the golden mask.
If she finishes her work like this, she will return to the status of one of the numerous apprentices in the Ellen Palace.
She is a trainee who has no choice but to obey the decisions of her grandmasters. No matter what her lineage or her abilities, she will have no initiative.
And Gal Nar, who has taken the place of Grand Master in place of her dead mentor, will have to watch as she plots another plan.
If she wants to break the situation, she will have to fight a political battle. Cut off the opponent’s forces and break my side
A childish fight that is unraveling.
I’ll have to win someday…
‘well.’
No one knows how long it will take.
As Ellen’s descendant of the Radha Carlin family, she has to prove her abilities over and over again in order to properly demonstrate her political power.
She will have to grow a few years older, and she will have to cater to the hapless old people. She might be offered an arranged marriage or something, in the name of a terrible call to power.
Ellen was immersed in her troubles with a calm expression on her face. Will she be able to do it all herself?
no way. She couldn’t possibly do that.
Her hands trembled like this just from anticipating the possibilities.
“…Herenaar?”
As her Ellen squeezed her trembling hands, her galnar approached her, playing her uncle concerned for her nephew.
Looking at her shameless face, her heart burns again.
‘If it wasn’t for you’
it wouldn’t have been like this
Moist eyes, careful hands, warm arms, and the subtle scent of soap.
The intoxicating voice, the hot lips and her tongue that slashes the spine with a knife, that happy night of love.
She’s all that phoenix again.
She left him and she wouldn’t have to come back to the palace alone.
‘If only it wasn’t for you.’
If Gal Nar hadn’t framed her for her, she wouldn’t have gone on her journey, and she wouldn’t have met Phoenix, but she and Ellen couldn’t afford to make that judgment.
She was just pouring her oil into the fire in her heart.
“It must have been very difficult. I am really sorry.”
By the time Galnar’s hand touched her shoulder, Ellen was thinking of the Phoenix that would remain in the Gistol region. She was thinking of the women left by his side.
The fire in his heart burned like the hellfire he had seen before.
“…Herenaar. Are you okay?”
“no.”
After barely uttering one word, Ellen shook her shoulders and took a deep breath before she spoke another word.
“at all.”
The hot deepening and deep mana met and the flames boiled.
For a moment, she felt Ellen’s familiar sensation. The feeling of the time when a spell was etched into her soul when Phoenix and her were on the verge of her death.
“This one? for a moment-!”
Ellen stretched out her hand and grabbed Gal Nar, who was about to step back from her, feeling her uneasiness. And she whispered softly.
“Draconis.”
At the same time, a faint shape appeared above her head. The shape turned red and poured fire towards Galnar.
Roaring!
Galnar quickly raised the soil from the floor and stood up to block the fire.
However, Ellen’s fire broke through the barrier like a waterfall through a rock and swallowed Galnar.
“ugh.”
Gal Nar, the Grand Master of La Palais Palace and one of Radakalin’s bloodlines, couldn’t even scream properly and turned to ashes.
“Stop!”
The flames that engulfed Galnar rushed forward, but the rest of the Grand Masters were able to block the red waves thanks to the quick defense spells.
Olnar Radakalin chased the trail of flames with enchanting eyes in the shroud of cold air that shimmered transparently with heat.
“…This is definitely.”
The flames, which had added heat, went beyond scarlet and turned white.
“Dragon’s Breath. okay. It’s the dragon’s breath.”
The flame that once dazzled the old grandmaster shone brightly as if it would burn forever.
“Adobit’sche.”
Ellen’s brief order was taken at once. But that didn’t mean it was gone.
Fire.
The dragon’s breath, which devours Galnar and ignites the crowd in all directions, embraced Ellen as if it had its own will. It was a cloak of flame that glowed with white light.
Most wizards were distracted by the dragon on top of the flames and the flow of mana contained within it, and their mouths were wide open, but Aktupir was not.
‘‘You Elenar!”
He stretched out his hands in front of him, his grim face flushed red.
“How dare you kill a grandmaster and a relative in the middle of the palace!”
Electric current gushed from the ten rings and four bracelets on his hands.
The momentum was so intense that the blue light emitted from both hands dyed the entire deteriorating garden.
However, facing him, Ellen remained expressionless as before, only her eyes became a little hazy.
“Gal Nar has sent his men on several occasions to kill me.”
“If you have such doubts, you should make a complaint with witnesses and evidence. How dare you take revenge! Are you trusting your petty strength and playing with it!”
At least there was no one in this garden who agreed with the part of ‘small power’ in his words, but he was not in the mood to dare to vomit.
“Because I didn’t want to waste time.”
“Foolish! You will regret this forever!”
“well.”
Clad in dragon breath, Ellen looked back at Ol Nar and opened her mouth.
“I will challenge the test.”
“…to the test?”
“yes.”
“You mean the owner of the palace will challenge the position of ‘High Master’?”
Ellen calmly nodded her head.
“…High Master has been vacant for over 600 years. You wouldn’t know why.”
“does not matter.”
Aktufir, who was fiercely emitting electricity, looked back at Olnar with a stunned face.
“No way Grandmaster Olnar. Are you willing to accept Elenar’s request?”
“It’s not something he can decide, Aktupyr.”
With the eyes of the six Grand Masters and the forty-seven battle mages on one body, she continued her words as if declaring.
“I am the archmage of Radakalin, and I can challenge the test whenever I want.”
Aktu Pir sighed ‘huh’ and lowered his hand.
The grand masters seemed to be lost in thought with different faces, and the battle mages were just opening their mouths, not understanding the circumstances.
Steedman muttered quietly, brushing his sweaty head.
“…Jimmy, what the hell is going on…
A winter afternoon when the sun goes down overcast.
In the middle of the soot-filled earth, Ellen looked down at her audience.
