My Villains Episode 200
44. Dream (10)
A deserted land and thick fog.
Lonely old castle and cloudy moonlight.
And the count who hid his identity…
These are objects or materials representing the fourth chapter of the Dark World.
Looking back on my memories as Kim Seung-soo, Chapter 4 was a place that exuded the atmosphere of a gothic horror novel like ‘Dracula’. Thanks to that, each player has a slightly different likes or dislikes.
Well, in my case, it was close to Ho.
Anyway, the scenario is on the simple side.
When you enter Chapter 4, you pass through the shady forest, defeat the fallen guardian, catch and kill the spell thief hiding in the village, and enter the old castle.
Then, you will encounter numerous monsters guarding the castle, a fallen knight, and a bewitching dreamer. If you defeat them all, the count’s three wives will appear.
After annihilating them, we face the final boss of the chapter, and
he is the vampire lord ‘Tenbierma’ disguised as Count Mattianver
….
I looked down at the old man’s wrinkled face and opened my mouth.
“But why?”
As he pulled the blade out of the old man’s chest, he heard the sound of air escaping.
Hmm. Why does a half-undead that can’t even breathe make such a noise?
The old man was immobilized by a large iron stake driven into his neck. It looks like a stuffed insect.
“The vampire bastard”
isn’t a dignified middle-aged man—
“become such a crippled old man.”
Not on the top floor of an old castle –
“Did it appear at a tavern in the woods?”
I asked and put my foot on the iron stake. As I put my weight on it in that state, the wooden floor cracked with a cracking sound, and the iron stake was driven deeper.
“Kkeugeueuk”
“Eh?”
He glared at me with blood frothing at his mouth and his eyes wide open.
Even if he was rotten, he had the appearance of an old man, but like a vampire lord, he was tenacious. It must be continuing its existence by burning the vitality stolen from innocent victims.
‘Lord Niterbellam’, ‘Count Martianver’, ‘Vampire Lord Tenbjerma’.
The monster with three names struggled to open its mouth.
“how.”
…he speaks even with an iron stake driven through his neck. It’s strange.
“My spell that even the priests don’t notice-”
“A spell…? ah.”
What he’s talking about is probably a spell called ‘Cloak of the Moon’.
It is a spell unique to the vampire lord that erases the vampire’s unique evil sign and makes it look like a normal human being.
“You see through that. It is impossible.”
“Impossible.”
I smiled and gestured to one side.
Then, Mungji, who had been looking down at Kelene with his eyes wide open, looked at me and made a shrieking noise.
“…. .Me?”
“Yes you.”
Moongchi hesitated and said ‘Eh’, then quickly came towards me. Meanwhile, the guy twisted the dagger in both hands and hid the blade behind his wrist.
“Come on, let’s get together.”
I wrapped my left arm around the shoulder of the mungchi who approached me.
“Uh-”
“You explain.”
“Eh yes?”
“How did you see through the spell?” Even as I said that, I was aiming the Hrunting in my right hand at the old man. It was to cut off a limb right away if he did anything wrong.
“Uh huxlsheng No breath, because breathing is strange-”
Unggi stuttered for some reason, so I put my hand on his shoulder and tousled his hair.
“Why are you so down? You said your breathing was strange?”
“Eh yes. Breathing.”
“How strange was that?”
“It was done on purpose.”
” on purpose?”
“Yes, on purpose. Like breathing when you pretend to be asleep.”
“I see.”
As a compliment, he patted Mungchi on the back and sent him back to his place.
“You understand now? The living corpses don’t get caught because they imitate people so recklessly.”
Tenbjerma saw the mocking smile on my face and gnashed her teeth.
“Sounds stupid. Me and my brides are closer to humans than undead-”
“Sir, you talk so much.”
In order to answer his question,
‘I knew it just by looking at the rustic purple tunic and fur coat. Kelsen’s sister is also the same. I thought it was the same as what I saw on the monitor?’
It was impossible to say.
So, instead of giving detailed explanations, he stepped on an iron stake.
“Shut up,”
Tenbjerma stopped talking and screamed hoarsely.
“It’s hot!”
“Oh yeah?”
I took my foot off the stake just before the studded heel of my boot touched his chin.
“Father Bowen of Longville did the blessing himself. It’s been more than a month, but it still seems to be working.”
Behind me, Gidon the crossbow raised his voice as if responding to my words.
“Purify yourself in the light, monster!”
Some mercenaries also murmured short prayers like slogans. Seeing this, the freckled Mira burst into laughter as she drew out her longsword.
“Ha, those who don’t usually donate once. Seeing the vampires, do you feel a surge of faith?”
Esanna, a woman with braided brown hair, frowned at Mira’s sarcasm.
“It’s not the time to do farmland like that, Mira.”
She strode forward with her short spear and shield in hand.
Where she was heading, a body with an impressive white dress and soft shoulders was restoring a severed neck, puffing out its flesh. It was the body of Topelin, a beautiful girl who had been smiling cutely until a while ago.
Esanna kicked the body to the ground and thrust a javelin through its slender chest.
Fu-wook!
“They’re quite tenacious.”
She placed her chin and foot on the girl’s frantically wriggling body. Then, she took out a glass bottle of holy water from her waist and asked me.
“Sir, will you purify it like this?”
“no.”
I looked around the inside of the tavern.
The guards and servants led by the vampire lord Tenbjerma and his three wives were already dead.
The reason I was sure they were dead was because I confirmed that they were soaking the floor with blood.
I guess they must have been a bit inferior.
His second wife, Ganesh, was reduced to ashes at Ellen’s hands, leaving only Tenbie Lema and his first wife, Kelsene’s third wife, Topelin.
“Keep them both alive. I still have something to ask you.”
All of them were powerful vampires, but they were fatally wounded and incapacitated.
In addition, there was little they could do since there were dozens of mercenaries armed with silver-plated weapons surrounding them in all directions.
At my command, Gidon the crossbowman pulled out four or five iron stakes from a bag strewn on the floor.
“Then I’ll set up a simple safety device.”
“Whatever.”
Gidon, who got my permission, approached Topelen with a happy face, and Esson narrowed his forehead.
“Are you going to put it on?”
“of course.”
“It’s a bit clumsy.”
At the words of Eson, who clicked his tongue as if it were ominous, the heavy soldier Dervish also nodded.
“That’s right, they’re vampires.”
“So you have to put a stake in it. You never know when you’re going to do some tricks.”
“Why don’t you take out some holy water and wait?”
“What are you waiting for? Let’s wait until those damned ones wake up and attack us? Do you all think the same?”
Gidon glanced around at the mercenaries. Everyone looked as if they were embarrassed, like Eson or Dervish.
“What is it, then?”
Gidon smiled like a tear.
“I will take this honor for myself. I am willing to.” By the time he giggled and started driving stakes through Topelin’s torso.
Ellen, frowning, brushed her hands and came towards me.
“There are too many crazy people in the party.”
At his words, Utequai, who was holding the ‘Shock Warhammer’ like a hammer, let out a snort.
“under! It’s not what you say.”
“…why are you Shibi?”
“It’s not a fight, it’s a worry girl. You don’t know yourself.”
“Don’t worry about me, why don’t you take care of yourself?”
Utequai chuckled at Ellen’s words.
In the meantime, Haila, who had been near the table, approached the bar. At the same time, he took off the glove with only one lozenge decoration and put it in his vest pocket.
Brothers Hagon and Kigon, startled by the loud noise that just happened to be inside the room, gasped in through the back door.
“What the hell is this-”
The two men looked around the room and opened their mouths in amazement. Heila opened her mouth, putting on a glove with five intact diamonds on her left hand.
“How about my bathtub?”
“…No, Miss. The bathtub is not important right now”
“Who wants?”
“yes?”
Heila, sitting cross-legged on a chair in front of the bar, blinked slowly as she looked back at her brother.
“Go quickly. Watch my bathtub.”
Overwhelmed by Heila’s impassive gaze and the sight of the room, the two brothers turned around, pale.
Around that time, the vampire lord Tenbjerma overcame the pain inflicted by the iron stake and repaired some of her wounds.
I crouched down in front of him and passed the door.
“I’ve cleared your question, so now it’s my turn to ask a question?”
“Geuheu-”
“Answer me. Why did you, a vampire, become such a crippled old man? Isn’t that one of the few advantages of being a vampire?”
Unexpectedly, Tenbierma opened her mouth so easily.
“My my estate. I was robbed.”
“…Has the estate been stolen? To whom?”
A faint light flashed in the man’s eyes. The bright red light, close to vermillion, was full of resentment and hatred.
“The petty thief who lived by licking the soles of my feet lying down under the hem of my cloak-” “
So, who is the pet thief?”
“Sai Tsu. Sights.”
“……what?”
I listened to him for a moment and blinked my eyes stupidly.
On behalf of such a day, Ellen, who had been bickering with Utequai, stepped forward with an expression of disbelief.
“Sites? Did you say sights?”
“okay. That little thief.”
“Could it be that the Sage is the Spell Thief Sage? Those Saitsu who were banished from the Council of Dawn?”
“Right, guy. order thief. Sights.”
“Saitsu stole your estate?”
“Yes. It’s him.” Tenbjerma gnashed her teeth and moved her limbs. It seems that the boiling hatred has overcome the pain of the consecrated iron stake.
“Right after my estate was completed properly with rain, everything from me was taken away-”
What kind of bullshit is this again.
‘Sights’ is a murderer who killed Ellen’s teacher, Jemar, and a thief who stole a forbidden book from La Palais Palace. It is because of him that Ellen is framed and pursued in the palace.
And in the game, Spell Thief Sights was the second pick for Chapter 4.
A guy like that stole the territory of the vampire lord Tenbjerma, the boss of Chapter 4?
“No- Saits is just a thief who casts a few spells at best, and he stole the manor from you, the vampire lord?”
To add a bit of exaggeration, Saitz, a spell thief, is a special robber who only picks out wealthy houses, and the vampire lord, Tenby Erma, is a national gangster boss.
That means the difference in weight class is huge.
“No crazy. No matter how much I think about it, it makes no sense. Because of that guy, the vampire lord became this old man on the brink of death? Unless you’re quite an idiot-”
“To that bastard. There were helpers.”
“aid?”
“okay. aid. A fearsome helper.”
That moment. Tenbjerma’s eyes trembled.
…If I’m not mistaken, he was afraid.
The lord of vampires with hundreds of blood relatives was trembling in fear.
“…Who is that helper?” “iced coffee.”
His eyes lost focus for a moment.
“The strong of the abyss. evil magician. The one who cuts the angels. A loyal knight of the Dark Lord. A devil but not a devil.”
“Wait a minute.”
I swallowed dry saliva at the looming ominousness and asked him a question.
“A loyal knight of the Dark Lord? Are you talking about the Dark Knight?”
“okay. call them Dark Knight.”
“Why is the fucking dark knight here? Why is this guy who only appears from the underworld or the Dark World-”
I stopped talking and opened my mouth wide.
“…That’s right then.”
When the final boss of Chapter 3, ‘Queen Rama Shida’, was imbued with the power of the Dark World.
It is said that after the death of Ramashda, the queen of the Anupads, a passage leading to the Dark World was opened on the ship.
From there, the evil god Ushtu’s followers constantly poured out, and I had to stop them by swinging my sword like a madman.
Then, due to countless injuries, he had no choice but to use ‘plunder’.
In this way, he absorbed the blood spouted by the followers of the evil god, and eventually lost his reason due to being stained by the magical power. I have a clear memory of looking down at Phoenix’s body running rampant as if he had escaped from his body.
When all the followers of the evil god were slaughtered in that way, the passage of the Dark World pierced through Ramashda’s stomach spewed out darkness.
By the time that darkness covers the sky and the earth.
Something with glittering purple eyes appeared between the gaps in the black armored helm, which had a huge body and long spears that emitted purple steam.
That was the dark knight…
…then the dark knight laughed at me and disappeared somewhere.
I hadn’t seen or heard from him since then, so I forgot about it for a while.
“The Dark Knight is in Raven’s Cliff? By becoming Saitsu’s helper?”
“Yes.”
…You’re going crazy and jumping.
If Saitz is a special robber and Tenbierma is the national gangster boss, then the dark knight is the president of the X-arm triad!
No, how could things get so twisted?
Could it be that this happened because I couldn’t deal with Queen Ramashda quickly?
Or is it because of killing ‘robber baron Albianne’ in South Harbor in advance, who should have been stained by the messenger of the dark world in the original scenario?
Oh, of course, it’s unclear whether the Dark Knight who jumped out of Ramashda’s ship is the same person as the current Dark Knight.
…no no no. not sure
There’s no way there are two Dark Knights in Middle-earth. no it has to be
If there is, it’s a disaster. balance collapse.
Well, the fact that the Dark Knight appeared in Chapter 4 was already a disaster and the balance collapsed… But
while I was half-excited and holding my head, Tenbjerma’s muttering continued.
“Those eyes. beautiful eyes.”
He shook his limbs and gradually raised his voice.
“Leading to the Dark Lord. Those eyes-!”
“lily. that kid that Are you all right?”
Just as Steedman expressed his concern, Tenbjerma’s voice shook the tavern like thunder.
“My children!”
Goo oh-!
With that voice, morale erupted from him like a storm.
“Fidhos”
Utequai said something and brandished his warhammer. The hammer with a boulder struck the iron stake, and Tenbjerma’s head was cut off in one fell swoop.
Even so, the bastard’s shouting continued.
“The Lord of Darkness is calling us!”
“this-!”
I immediately raised my foot and smashed his head.
“Ponyx-sama!”
Archer Cole yelled and threw a glass bottle, which I took, opened the stopper, and poured it into Tenbjerma’s chest.
With a crackling sound, the purple tunic and flesh melted in an instant. In this way, the holy water even melted Tenbierma’s heart, and the riotous scams disappeared as if they had been washed away.
“…Uh-huh. I thought you would get fucked.”
Heavy soldier Dervish let out a deep sigh.
The people in the bar were shocked by the sudden uproar, but Tenbierma’s last shout did not cause any change.
no i thought so
“Ugh, sirs!”
The back door suddenly opened, and brothers Hagon and Kigon ran in with pale faces.
Heila frowned at Ami, but the two men shook their chins and shouted as if they couldn’t see it.
“Outside-!”
“What else?”
“These strange people”
at that moment.
Mungchi was startled and looked around. Subsequently, I also swallowed dry saliva at the sound of the outside, and the
candle
dish placed on the table trembled and fell to the floor. The mercenaries also noticed the sound of footsteps coming from all directions. and dyed his face white.
It was U Tequai who took a deep breath to end the strange silence that had flowed through the tavern.
“Go outside-!”
As if responding to the thunderous shouts, ferocious cries erupted from all directions.
“Keeeeeeeeeee!”
