My Villains Episode 118
31. Vision Hunters (!)
After deciding to go a little further into Graduil Mountain, we replenished some supplies, such as torches and food. It was because I was thinking of going homeless. It was a relief that it was summer, so I didn’t have to bring extra blankets.
After leaving the gateway, I took the northern road and climbed the foot of the mountain.
Graduil Mountain was a gently curved rocky mountain. Unlike other stems nearby, there were few bushes.
Is that why? The entrance to the hill leading to the north and the high summit seemed close enough to touch, but I felt like I couldn’t get any closer no matter how much I walked.
After climbing for half a day, I was out of breath. The sun was about to rise over our heads, so we decided to take a break.
Leader Amias looked back at his colleagues who were breathing and said.
“Mira and Bunny are in the south, Steedman and Cole are in the northwest, Jenessa and you are in the northeast with me. Even if everyone is resting, don’t get too carried away.”
When the order was over, the mercenaries dispersed. Then, sitting in a place with an open view, he was wary of all directions.
The first time I saw it, it looked so shabby, but Amias and her gang weren’t that young.
Leader Amias, the eldest, and Cole, the next archer, are said to have experience of participating in war.
Maybe that’s why, after putting their heads together and chatting about something, they would show improvement in this and that.
Well, it seems like they’re doing that to prove their usefulness, but it didn’t feel particularly hateful. Rather, it seemed that the youthful spirit of improvement was transmitted to me, so I was motivated for no reason.
Then Ellen suddenly spoke up.
“I think it’s that peak.”
“huh? What peak?”
Ellen pointed to the highest peak in the middle of Graduil’s three peaks.
“You said it last time. The flow of mana is strange.”
“Ah, the source is said to be the top over there?”
“I don’t know if it’s exactly normal, but I think it’s probably somewhere around there.”
Ugh, it’s rare.
In Chapter 3 of the game, there was no need to climb that peak. This is because the scenario was to end the chapter by driving out the Anupad army sitting on the hillside.
Deep in thought, I surveyed the peak.
“But Ellen.”
” huh?”
“Didn’t you say that the reason for the strange flow of mana was because something pushed the mana out there?”
“It’s roughly the same. why?”
“It just looks like an ordinary mountain to me.”
“Then did you think there would be a rift in another dimension?”
“It’s not like that.”
The crack in the second dimension that Ellen mentioned is a phenomenon that occurs when the second dimension approaches the present world. It was said to be an extremely rare phenomenon, occurring once every 3 to 40 years.
“There is no way to know what is going on here. You have to go up there and see for yourself.”
“Um, do you want to?”
“…I’m curious, but I don’t think there’s any need to risk it.”
While talking like that, the freckled mummy let out a shrieking sound.
“Uh uh! excuse me!”
The party’s gaze was directed down the hillside.
down a minute? not up?
“It’s greenskin!”
“Hey, do you have a lot?”
“Everyone gather!”
Scribe Beldin’s warning came to mind. Recently, the number of monsters has decreased and the scale has increased
. Goblins seemed to be over forty and orcs were a little under twenty.
“Gwoah billion!”
“Quaksaka!”
Orcs and goblins were coming up the slope, shouting loudly. It is an unstoppable charge, as if it had been targeting us from the very beginning.
Utequai looked down at them and smiled.
“good night. Over 100 points.”
“Hehe, crazy man.”
I laughed and narrowed my brows as I looked at the orcs.
The one who seemed to be the leader of the group was an orc whose face was stained with stains or paint. Unlike the other guys who were poorly armed, they were carrying quality scale armor, a shield made of iron, and a sharp-looking Warhammer.
‘Warrior Mordor’. In the game, he was the one that appeared as the first picknam in Chapter 3.
If it was Mordor, he would appear with a caster… Well, there’s no one that stands out. what to do
Ellen, who floated up, took out her wand and said.
“I can’t. First of all, you have to reduce the number of heads.”
“No, wait a minute.”
“why?”
After a brief hesitation, I opened my mouth.
“When I signal, use magic from then on. And Utequai.”
“Tell me.”
“You protect Ellen.”
“Hmm?”
His eyes widened a little, as if he was saying something completely unexpected.
“I mean?”
“There are too many goblins. I have to step in and deal with it.”
I looked straight into Utequai’s black eyes.
“Never hurt me.”
“…i get it.”
By the time Utequai nodded, the battle had begun.
Archer Cole fired the first arrow. Is it because of past training? The posture of pulling the protester seems more stable.
“Key ek!”
As one goblin was struck down by an arrow, the others screamed frantically.
“Koagral-!”
“Koag thuchat!”
The greenskins were crying loudly, but Amias and his gang were already standing shoulder to shoulder and solidifying their defenses. Instead of just six standing alone, they used small rocks and valleys to block the road so that they could only attack from the front.
However, this is a bar top mountain with not many bushes. Some goblins took a detour on a steep slope.
When leader Amias saw that direction and panicked, I quickly shouted.
“Look at the front! I’m in charge of that!”
At the same time, he pulled out his Hrunting and charged at the goblins.
“Ardai!”
“Uishal!”
As some of them screamed loudly, those with bows fired arrows.
Most of the arrows bounced off just by covering the face with the shield. The goblin’s crude bow couldn’t even scratch the plate armor.
the ensuing collision.
They are small and quick enough that the crown of their head is about the size of my waist. If Utequai had dealt with them, they would have suffered quite a bit.
However, it was no threat to me equipped with heavy armor and a fast sword.
“Huh!”
He swung his sword as he descended the steep slope.
The white sword light cut through the three goblins, dyeing them dark green. Every time the bloody blade shook, two or three goblins died.
Occasionally, there were those who quickly ducked or turned away to avoid the blades, but they were bitten by the blades that relentlessly followed them.
“Yaksa hum!”
“shahaa!”
Fifteen of his comrades were slaughtered in an instant, and the goblins’ momentum was dampened. Without hesitation, I spread my hand on the shield.
Quaggagak!
A dark green bloody blast from the steep slope hit the goblins. Six or seven of them collapsed with their whole bodies in tatters.
“Tovi tovi!”
“Zork-sha!”
While the goblins were in disarray, the orcs snorted and attacked.
“Koagral-!”
“Quaksaka!”
“Va’arka ethuron zaich!
”
A dwarf orc hiding among his own people was whispering in a grotesque voice. Seeing the orange glow emanating from his eyes, I immediately shouted.
“Ellen! Go after that shaman!”
Before I could even finish my shouting, a frostbite was fired from behind.
As Ellen’s level rose, her frost awl became longer and sharper.
The vicious projectile slammed down the hillside, piercing Fancog of Madness in one breath.
Because blood and air leaked out of the punctured throat together, Pankog was unable to recite the spell
.
“Fangkog!”
“Koag! Koag tha tzatguwi!”
The angry orcs came rushing forward screaming.
A dozen or so went towards Amias’ gang, and the rest attacked me.
And at the forefront of those attacking me was the warrior Mordor.
“Khg khuash!”
Its blackened face and bloody white tusks are impressive. He put his shield in front of him and suddenly rushed at me.
“Whoa,”
I raised my spirits. And he jumped at Mordor.
With all the goblins dead or running away, Ellen was able to enjoy some freedom. It was possible to look down at the foot of the mountain while floating about three meters from the ground.
“Koag shahaa (Shut up)-!”
The heavily armed Orc Mordor collided with Phoenix.
Phoenix, which had become stronger in the last few days, did not back down an inch even while colliding with the giant orc with force.
No, it wasn’t that there was no retreat, it was that they had the upper hand.
Phoenix, who simply deflected Mordor’s hammer, pierced the neck of the orc that was attacking from behind.
“Zork Quaksaka (Damn it)!”
Five orcs surrounded them in all directions and charged at them with ferocious momentum.
Then Phoenix moved like a possessed person with a short moan of ‘huuu’.
He twisted his shoulder, gripped an ax with his shoulder girdle, swung his shield to deflect pulses and hammers, walked like a snake to dodge an iron club, and then cut the spear pole with a dark green blade of blood and stabbed its owner in the eye.
The loophole-filled inspection I saw a few months ago was no longer there. The current Phoenix was showing off a skill worthy of being called a knight.
Even to Ellen, who was unfamiliar with martial arts, Phoenix did not seem very dangerous. Ellen suppressed her instincts and turned the wand in the other direction.
bang bang!
Where Ellen looked, angry orcs were knocking on the shield wall.
“Keugh! Hold on!”
“Damn that hand.”
The three avant-garde seemed to be in a hurry to hold on. The mercenaries behind him were busy keeping the guys in check trying to cling to the shield wall.
‘It’s improved a lot.’
Ellen thought so and chanted.
“Influ-unt archuire ensa—ra (Answer, the archer calls).”
It was a spell that I had become accustomed to, to the point where I was left with foil. Two pyrotechnic arrows rose at the same time and were fired straight away.
joy!
Two streams of fire were pierced like lightning falling from the sky.
“Koowoah billion!”
Orcs whose upper bodies were covered in flames screamed. The other Orcs swung their weapons even more frantically.
“Ugh ugh!”
“The power in these goddamn hands”
Mira and Steedman with their shields rolled backwards as they were pushed aside by the frenzied orcs.
The moment the orcs are about to pounce on the mercenaries,
“Kill!”
bang!
An orc hit by a huge slingshot rolled down the slope like a ball.
The savage berserker screamed and swung his dolma, and Ellen fired flaming arrows nonstop.
“Shaha! ToviC run)!”
When the orcs finally pulled away, Ellen turned her attention to Phoenix.
The other Orcs were already corpses, and the leader was dealing with Phoenix alone.
Knock!
The blade of Phoenix’s shield struck his dark nose. Mordor withstood the impact with his waist and swung the warhammer with all his might.
Booung!
threatening puncture.
He had to step back, but Phoenix swung his sword at him. With him, he twisted his upper body slightly and tried to knock the hammer down through his armor.
Under normal circumstances, the hammer would strike obliquely on the thick pauldron and cause no impact.
However, at the moment of impact, the war hammer shouted ‘Hung!’ Boom!
He dented the black pauldron.
“Turn it off!”
In an unexpected shock, Phoenix gritted his teeth and swung Hrunting.
blah blah!
Modor’s head, which had a proud expression on his face, was split in two.
