My Villains Episode 490
66. The Silver Prince (45)
Whoops!
A thunderbolt filled with demonic energy struck the tombstone that the messenger had raised.
The tombstone, or the necromancer’s exclusive auxiliary equipment, the ‘tombstone’, was shattered. And I started pouring out the things I had inside.
Hwi-yi-
Something resembling whitish smoke bursts out. The shape that soared with the sound of the wind let out a strange sign. I didn’t feel any magic or vitality at all.
It was not difficult to infer the identity of the smoke. It must be the souls that were sealed in the tombstone. The reason why I can see that form to me who don’t have clairvoyance is probably related to the power that binds beings who should be in the underworld to the middle world… “…
Oh my lord.” The two knights and I just looked up at the sight with helpless eyes. Because we don’t have the means to disperse pure souls that aren’t undead, nor the way to pierce the ‘reinforced refractive shield’.
Prince Ulkar also looked back at his nephew and shouted, as if he had guessed the identity of the smoke.
“Theodora! Are you just going to watch!”
Princess Theodora, her shoulders slightly moved, corrected her posture on top of the tortoise dragon’s carapace. With an unsure face, she aimed her long sword at the spirits in the sky.
“Wait, princess!” I pulled out the spare knife I had and held it out to Theodora.
“Sir, is this?”
“Write it once! hurry!”
When I handed it to her almost intimidatingly, she accepted the longsword in a flash.
yes.
The moment she met the right owner, ‘Saetbyeol’ shed a short sword. but. A holy sword is more suitable for a paladin than a berserker or blood knight.
The handle of the sword and the crucifix were shimmering and stained silver as if dirt was peeling off, but the princess didn’t seem to notice the change. This is because the white blade shone like the dawn pushing away the dawn, not the stars that rose at dawn.
“Poor souls, receive the light of purity!”
At Theodora’s prayer, ‘the light of exorcism’ broke out. Divine power that was incomparably stronger than before was shot like an awl.
In response, the messenger swung a two-handed sword while shaking off the crumbled fragments of the tombstone.
Rumble!
The demonic energy developed beyond the shimmering protective shield spread out in a fan shape. The divine brilliance emitted by the princess was covered in living darkness.
As the light
and darkness collided violently, the clouds dispersed and the ground shook. However, in the end, the star that Theodora shot did not illuminate the souls who were freed from the tombstones.
_uhhhhhhh _
The messenger’s head, burning black, looked back at the spirits. He stretched out his hand and muttered in a gloomy voice.
“Hongjin’s seeker, descendant of the underworld. Apostle of death-” A gust of wind rose from the smoke at that spell-like call. What came out with the wind was the soul of an old man wearing a crown.
“……Luke?”
If my eyes weren’t mistaken, the spirit, whose silhouette was much clearer than the random clumps around it, had Luke’s face.
_uhhhhhh-
A roaring sound echoing in the air as if in sync with the shimmering demons. Attracted by that ominous sound, the spirit of the Necromancer, who was called the ‘King of Death’, was caught in an iron gloved grip.
w Huh.” Herald’s deep breath. Luke’s soul screamed silently.
Ung Ung Ung Ung/
The messenger’s deflective shield vibrated violently. The spirit of the crowned old man dissipated and was sucked into the black flames that burned into the herald’s head.
“Yes yes-”
the messenger hummed contentedly as Luke’s spirit finally vanished without a trace. It also absorbed the mass of souls, like smoke from a broken tombstone, at once. Above the black fireball, a turquoise crown radiated an eerie light.
“It is full of power. It’s a bit messy, though.”
It was clear what the messenger meant by ‘strength’. It was a magic trick from the underworld.
The souls of the tombstones, which drifted like smoke, ceaselessly spewed morale right after they were absorbed by the messenger of the dark world.
It was a huge amount in itself, but the messenger was not satisfied with it. The morale started swirling around the guy with his arms wide open.
oh oh oh!
“Keugh God damn-”
“Lower your posture!”
The evil vortex that floated in the air sucked up morale from the corpses of humans and fishmen and filthy water scattered on the ground. The momentum was so powerful that it seemed like a storm was about to come.
“Here! Gather all to me!”
I turned to see Princess Theodora’s voice, and her federal plaque was shining white.
“Hey, chew-”
With the ominous gray air current sweeping all around, the party gathered using the princess’s light as a beacon. The ‘Shield of Salvation’ she deployed melted away the scam like a gust of wind like snowflakes on a spring day.
However, only a handful of morale melted into the shield of salvation. The vortex that swirled around the messenger grew in size without rest, and the morale that swelled like that soon pulled even the corpses.
“What the hell is that…
I had no choice but to open my mouth at the scenery created by the whirlwind of deceit.
The herald was harvesting, so to speak. He summoned an army of undead and fishmen through the ‘terrible dimension’, slaughtered thousands of imperial troops, and took all of the additional deaths as interest.
Even the emperor’s elite troops seemed to lose their will to fight at the terrible sight. As some nobles and knights shouted, the soldiers, who had been gathered in groups of about a hundred, somehow kept their formation and retreated. Instead of chasing them, the messenger of the dark world pulled the flesh and bones from the ground to form a strange shape.
Whoops! The whirlpool of fraud
gradually subsided and the messenger appeared.
His lower body was covered in wriggling flesh. The trembling mass of flesh was dyed black. Nine nodular white bones sprouted from the spherical mass of flesh and sank into the mud.
It looks like a deformed spider. A monster the size of a citadel with nine legs and a squirming torso…
“-Oh my God.”
“Lord, keep us.”
The reinforced deflective shield disappeared immediately, but no one was willing to attack. I was overwhelmed by the terrifying presence it exudes.
“…’Incarnation of the underworld’.”
Princess Theodora’s pale green eyes flashed with hostility.
I opened my mouth in amazement at her words.
“An incarnation of the underworld? is that?”
“exactly. An existence that represents the silent darkness. manifest death. The incarnation of the underworld.”
“It can’t be-”
In the Dark World, incarnations, or ‘avatars’, are treated as top-level enemies. Since they are beings embodied by gods or dimensions, it is natural that they are incredibly powerful. No matter how low-level gods or mischievous level avatars, you can only deal with them if you are in your late 60s.
They are also the kind of people you never interact with during campaigns. Avatars are the beings that can be encountered occasionally or when adventuring across dimensions after clearing the Expedition campaign.
“But that.”
I looked at the messenger of the dark world again and narrowed my brows. It’s gross and terrifying enough, but the incarnation of the underworld in my memory was not like that.
The opponent who is treated like a planet in itself and is almost impossible to kill is the incarnation of the underworld…
O hahaha’-
The upper half of the messenger rose in the middle of the wriggling flesh. The lump of boiling black flesh was so huge that it looked like a black chisel had been driven into a large piece of meat.
At least the sharp crown belonged to Luke, and the upper body clad in plate armor belonged to Death Knight. The only thing that gave us a glimpse of the messenger’s real face was the blazing head.
Look at me –
the flesh, well over 30 meters in diameter, bubbling and wriggling non-stop.
Human fingers, fish-man’s legs, warhorse’s buttocks, sea giant’s head, long hair and torn fins, firm abdomen and smooth back, woman’s breast and man’s genitals, all rise to the surface to form a black, bumpy sphere…
Ulka-R. poor human being
Numerous mouths sprouting from the flesh called out to the prince with a perceptual voice. Based on the voice of a human male, the beautiful voice of a woman, the bubbling voice of a fish man, and the resounding voice of a giant were mixed and resounded.
Can you face death?- Prince Ulkar flashed his indigo eyes instead of answering. The very next moment, ‘Boreakum”s demonstration bounced and a beam of light was shot.
The arrow of light flew towards the head of the messenger’s upper body. However, with only a slight movement of the huge flesh on his lower body, he blocked Ulkar’s surprise.
Aww-
Black water gushed out from the place where the arrow of light had been pierced, and four or four mouths nearby bewitched an uncomfortable moan.
uhhh still stupid Like Zeore
.
The messenger with the incarnation of the underworld attached below his waist shook his shoulders.
don’t answer foolishness
The next moment, countless mouths sprouting from the flesh spheres opened their mouths. A loathsome figure, as if it had countless tiny holes pierced in a piece of blackened meat…
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Hundreds of mouths then spewed thick smoke. It was smoke that contained a terrible stench and fraud.
“Breath of Plague- Princess!” Theodora immediately raised the longsword that metamorphosed into the morning star, or the ‘dawn’, and burst into the ‘light of purification’.
White light rippled like a fountain. The ‘Breath of Plague’ scattered by the incarnation of the underworld could not pierce the wave of light developed by the princess. However, the range was not enough, so the party had to stick closely.
“Keuh- be careful!”
“O” X
I hugged the wad and looked around. Only a few Imperial soldiers were protected by priests or wizards like us, who were enduring the breath of plague under the princess’s radiance.
It was just a few minutes ago that hundreds of soldiers were boiled and steamed in the turtle dragon’s steam breath, but now all sorts of pathogenic smoke hit them.
“Uh uh uh uh-”
“Cool kuheheek!”
The disease spread by the incarnation of the underworld had no incubation period. Soldiers contracted the disease immediately after inhaling the smoke, and each expressed their pain in a different way.
“Ha ha ha!”
“Lord-”
Coughing incessantly and vomiting blood, or trembling all over with blue lips, frantically scratching a face covered in a red rash, vomiting and diarrhea, or limbs stiffened like logs. The symptoms were varied, but the end was similar. He collapsed powerlessly and stopped breathing.
“Gwe gwergh. Slogh!”
“Honte yorkh! Honte yorkh!”
The few remaining fishmen were also in a different situation, and they were lying on the floor with white mold on their gills or black spots all over their bodies.
“… What is the hell of the pup?”
“He is gone.”
“yes? Are you leaving?”
Prince Ulkar, who was shoulder-to-shoulder with me, gripped the string of his longbow tightly, and replied, glare over the white light.
“Master Epos said that a while ago. He managed to open the dimensional gate while the entire field was shaking from space distortion.” “Dimensional door – these bastards” Somehow, I thought that some of Ruilix II’s aides, including Fabio, the ‘Aurora’s Window’, couldn’t even see their noses. Come to think of it, the ‘dragon slayer’ Camos and field marshal Nadim ‘Aringen’s crystal golem’ Supmilez, who were fighting on the frontlines, had all disappeared before they knew it.
“Is it really all splashed out?”
While the soldiers in the front were collapsing, the rest of the Imperial Army was retreating in perfect order. The three-headed dragon’s flag was still flying proudly, but the emperor it symbolized had already been ousted.
Grinding my teeth, I turned to the prince.
“As expected, you should have recovered sooner… Prince, even now!”
“I can’t.”
Prince Ulkar continued with a determined voice.
“Emperor, since we’ve roughly finished our work, it won’t matter if you step back. We are in different circumstances. We have a duty to protect this land.”
“When did I say to abandon the land? Either Eisbowald or Proshafen should step back and replenish their power-”
“No. It is a calamity that cannot be brought into the city nor released into the fields.”
“Then why do you want to block that with the seven here?”
“That is for the best.”
“Dude, are you out of your mind now?”
“Don’t be fooled by the size. Even Zea’s group of mighty giants will collapse if their heads are cut off!”
“His Highness Ji-Ral!”
I raised my voice, but Prince Ulkar continued to glar at the incarnation of the underworld.
“Theodora is an anointed Holy Knight. Miss Rannon is an assassin who can stab anyone, and Aran Hares is a demigod and leader of the Nudans. Sir Filter and Sir Gisela are knights whose rivals are hard to find in the kingdom.”
The prince finally looked back at me. His face was hard as stone, but his eyes were brighter than ever.
“And Kyung is the best knight in Middle-earth.”
“If not us, who else can prevent that catastrophe?”
“Ha…
Just when I sighed with a distorted face, the plague’s breath died down.
_uhhhhhh_
Instead of the sound of the wind, the ominous sound of the messenger came again, and Princess Theodora, whose face was covered in sweat, gave a spirited spirit.
“Lord of mercy, give the power of chastity to this lowly servant girl!”
Tuung.
heavy sound. The light of purification, which had formed a curtain like a fountain, spread through waves.
Oh dear –
at the same time as the smoke filled with disease dissipated, the monsters that had filled the messenger’s surroundings at some point disintegrated. When the incarnation of the underworld, which was constantly growing in size, reached its limit, the corpses that were pulled over fell nearby and turned into monstrous objects.
When the flesh on his lower leg stopped multiplying, the messenger shook his head in regret.
I tried to clearly show the cost of choice.
Before Norm ■ could finish his words, Prince Ulkar fired a series of arrows.
Hee hee hee.
Screams rang out around where the arrow had landed, while the rest of the mouths sneered.
It is felt. your anger indeed. Befitting His banner – sleep.
coogu palace.
Its nine legs moved like spiders, deflecting the giant’s direction.
The messenger of the Dark World, now rising above the bubbling flesh, was looking at the shimmering village near the horizon.
Prince Ulkar looked back to where the creature’s gaze had taken him, then opened his eyes.
“Come on, you foul monster!”
Hee hee hee.
Along with an angry shout, arrows of light flew continuously, but the messenger only giggled and twisted his body.
Let’s try it. I’ll make you the last human in this territory.
A slightly familiar order that followed.
Zorak ank tobya.
The huge mass of flesh disappeared along with the demonic energy that rose like a smoke screen.
