My villains 2()Episode 1
44. Crow’s Castle ⑴
“Keeeeeeeee!”
A ferocious cry that gave goosebumps to the nape of the neck coming from all directions.
Seeing the mercenaries wandering around, Wu Tequay raised his voice again.
“There are hills behind! Stop there!”
Only then did the mercenaries come to their senses.
Although it was whitewashed a little, the Oressa Tavern was obviously a building made of wood. Whatever the identity of the footsteps heard outside, given the malice and momentum, a wooden building like this would collapse in an instant.
“Damn it-”
Umberta, a female warrior of the Crescent Islands who ran to the back door in the lead, cursed and turned around.
“Hold up the torches, everyone! I can’t see anything!”
The tavern was located on a low hill in the middle of the forest. Adding to that the deep darkness of dawn and the heavy rain, it was a pitch of darkness where one could not see even an inch ahead.
“here!”
Puffy Eson pulled out a large bag as if he had been waiting for it. It was filled with torches made of rosin.
“Take one! There are some lamps under the bar, take those too!”
“Leave food and iron stakes! For now, just take the flame flower oil and holy water!” The mercenaries hurriedly escaped through the back door.
“Calm down guys! We have to get out too!”
It was the shout of the merchant Max.
The merchants of the West, who had witnessed the sudden devastation and were shivering in a corner, came to their senses at the voice and quickly followed the mercenaries.
Heila, who was sitting at the bar, was as expressionless as usual even during the chaos. She stood up and looked back at Haggon and Kigon.
“What are you doing’?”
“Yes yes?”
“Wake the family.”
The brothers ran to the room in contemplation, and Heila called a one-eyed magician who passed by.
“Follow Simos.”
“yes? wait girl! Now-”
Before Simos could dissuade her, Heila disappeared along with Hagon and Kigon. Having guessed her intentions, I gave orders to the hesitant Simos.
“Don’t be fooled and follow me! I still have some time!”
“I see.”
Simos grinned as he caught a glimpse of the mercenaries exiting the back door, then followed Heyla.
“lily! What about these damned bitches?”
It was the voice of Gidon the Crossbow.
Looking back, Kel Seine, a mibu in black, was groaning with a sword and arrow hanging from her, and Topelin, a beautiful girl in a white dress, had her head cut and was stuffed into the ground with iron stakes driven through her shoulders and thighs.
“Take the damn thing out!”
“Wouldn’t it be better to just end it?”
“no!”
Only a black, sticky liquid remained under my feet. It was a trace left by the vampire lord, Tenbjerma, after being purified.
“…I have a story to tell. Take both!”
Esanna, with her braided hair, spat on the floor and hurriedly supported Kelsene with Steedman.
On the other hand, Gidon and the veteran conspirator who helped him struggled while holding on to the iron stake embedded in the topelin, showing disapproval.
“How deep did you drive this? You don’t even budge!”
“Did you know that things would turn out this way?”
The moment I tried to approach them with a frustrated heart.
“Kieh!”
A terrifying cry rang out once more.
My ears rang as if I was standing in front of a speaker at a concert hall. A group of unknown identities came close to them.
“Ellen go out and prepare your order. The group protects Ellen.”
Unlike Mungchi who replied, ‘Okay-‘ Lee Ellen narrowed her brows.
“Then you?”
I took a torch out of my Esson bag and lit a candle rolling on the floor.
“I need to check who they are.”
“what?”
Ellen raised her voice in reverse before snapping back.
“Stop talking and get out! Utequai this way!”
Saying that, he kicked out the front door of the bar, and before he knew it, Wu Tequai, wearing a steel long-length hat and holding a dolly, was ready to follow.
“How many pages will there be?”
“I do not know. But oh-so many.”
ha damn A dangerous bastard like Tenbjerma should have had his head blown off.
It looks like you’re going through a lot of trouble trying to figure out the reason for the twisted scenario and the story about the dark knight.
I cursed in my dismay and threw the torch into the endless darkness.
Hong-Hung-Hong_
The lit torch went round and round like a boomerang and flew far away.
The dizzying red lights scattered in the pouring raindrops and illuminated the ground. Thanks to this, numerous figures rushing towards us appeared.
“Eo- eo-”
beast-like crying.
White eyes, gaping jaws, cracked jaws, teeth resembling saw blades, and a long, red tongue.
Scattered hair, flowing rags, grotesquely bent limbs, staggering steps.
It was an ugly look that made it hard to believe that he was once human.
“Low-level vampires… are they Tenbierma’s followers?”
At my muttering, Utequai, who was holding a lantern aloft, expressed a question.
“Tenby— what?”
“No, I mean that vampire. Niterbellam.”
“Oh right. They are his subordinates.”
Utequai straightened his grip on the dolme and laughed ferociously.
“Huh Darran lune’telil I refused to be held in my mother’s arms. As a great warrior, you must be punished.”
Leaving his words in one ear, he looked back at Tenby and Lema’s family.
It was a rainy dawn with no moon or stars, so I couldn’t confirm it accurately, but it didn’t seem like there was a particularly strong monster.
What you see may not be everything, so you shouldn’t be careless.
“Should you and I use some strength?”
“right.”
Utequai lifted his chin and looked around.
“If you run with that momentum, the ranks will collapse in an instant. You have to block the waves. like a rock.”
“good.”
After me and Utequai agreed, we split left and right in front of the tavern.
Mercenaries and merchants gathered at the back of the Olessa Tavern, and I took a seat on the left and Utequai on the right.
After tightening the breastplate, I pulled out the hrunting and relaxed the muscles throughout my body.
In terms of compatibility, Tenbierma’s followers were not very good opponents for me and Utequai. As they are on the lower level among vampires, they are closer to undead than humans.
So for my part, I didn’t want to suck their rotten blood. As for Utequai, chewing their hearts won’t give you any power.
But just because he couldn’t use ‘looting’ didn’t seem like he would be attacked by low-level vampires like that.
The same goes for Utequai.
Even without the triggering effect of ‘Seal of Predation’, he is strong enough. Especially after going through all the hardships in Longville, Ute Quai was much stronger than before.
Name: Hatanka Utequai
Level: 24
Class: Berserker
Stats: Remaining Bonus – 3 Strength – 34 (76) Agility – 18 (26) Health – 27 (51) Magic – 11 (12) Skill: Blunt Armed Tattoo 6pt
Veil ‘s Blessing Tattoo 5pt Blessing of the Night Sky Tattoo 3pt Iron Seal 3pt Rhinoceros Slam 3pt
Berserk
3pt Unbridled Madness lpt
Utequai’s level was only 24, but in terms of ability, it was comparable to level 27. It must have been because he had suffered death as often as I had in the past, so he got that many bonus points.
In addition, Utequai was even using a non-essential item called the ‘steel formal hat’ made by weaving ‘Rikuwa’s feather formal hat’ in the ‘iron storage’.
Both Warbannet and Iron Crown are items that give bonuses to various resistances, so they must have ridiculous resistances based on level 24.
And if you think it’s really dangerous, the god called ‘Mother’ will even give you a Berserk. You don’t have to worry.
Thinking so, I rolled up my sleeves and pulled them down under the long-necked gloves.
Shaak.
Instead of flowing down to the floor, the blood rode up the milky blade.
The blood drained through the black incontinence on the blade completely covered the blade. Hrunting, which became even longer and sharper, showed off a brilliant red light.
“Keeeeek!”
Tenbiarma’s followers ran right in front of me and shouted.
Adding to their killing spree, the sharp pain I felt in my forearm made my body gradually heat up.
“Whoa-”
I shot forward, feeling grateful for the pouring dawn rain.
In the darkness where you can’t see an inch ahead.
The mercenaries ahead of the battle raised their spirits.
“Come, prepare holy water!”
“Damn it, I can’t see anything! Throw some torches in front of you!”
While the mercenaries were screaming evil, Phoenix and Utequai started the battle one step ahead.
About twenty paces away from the mercenaries, a red blade danced with an enchanting color.
A small scraping sound was heard every time a red line was drawn .
It was an unbelievably light sound to cut through skin, flesh, and bone all at once.
Phoenix, locked in the darkness, only partially exposed the upper half of the body. Thanks to that, the Hrunting he wielded seemed to be dancing alone in the air.
The red sword light gently drew a circle, stretched out straight, and cut through the darkness like lightning.
The heavy soldier Dervish, who was fixing his ax and shield, licked his tongue at the sight.
“Ha, is that the ‘Blood Beacon’? It is very artistic.”
As she said, the scene where Hrunting covered with bloody blades was shining red was very beautiful.
While Dervish and some mercenaries were distracted by Phoenix’s red sword dance, the rest of them plugged their ears to the battle cry coming from the right side.
“Athar— Marta (Mother- God)!” Right after the tremendous voice that matched the nickname of ‘thunder swallowed giant’ rang out, the large dolme slammed into the ground with the ferocity of a ‘slammer’.
Aww!
Due to the strong rain, there was no dust. However, because he pounded the ground with more force than most trolls, a small tremor spread.
“…Nimi. Is that a person or something?”
The ponytailed mercenary Fritz felt a faint vibration and licked his lower lip. He made three large knots by tying the chains on which the iron balls were suspended. The length of the iron sword was adjusted.
After finishing his work, Fritz held out his hand to a mercenary standing behind him.
“Hey, give me some flame flower oil.”
“Have you already written everything on the back?”
“I saw you secretly take one, you new kid.”
“What are you carrying?”
“damn. Give it to me quickly before I crush your fucking nose, you bony bastard.”
The skinny mercenary grumbled and took out a fist-sized copper bottle.
Snatching the bottle, Fritz immediately unscrewed the stopper and sprayed it on the iron ball of the flail.
“Does it make sense that the wizard alone uses all these good things?”
“Damn it. Can you imitate something like that if you use it?”
Esanna, a mercenary with braided hair, smiled and pointed backwards.
At that moment,
“Lum-fere!”
A large ball of fire exploded at the bottom of the hill with a jingling sound.
Then, a huge pillar of fire soared following the cloud of steam. Thanks to the fire flower oil that had been sprinkled at the foot of the hill in advance, the pillar of fire burned large and fierce.
“Keeeeek-!”
Dozens of low-ranking vampires crawling up the hill were instantly engulfed in flames. As they collapsed, they wriggled in pain and screamed terribly.
The ‘blonde purifier’, who was looking down at them, quickly cast a spell and stretched out his wand. Under her command, acrid smoke and misty vapors parted or gathered here and there.
What was created like that was a blade of wind with a light green color. The blades were torn into six or seven pieces in an instant, and then they were fired with a ‘wedge’ sound.
The vampires who climbed the gentle slope were hacked to pieces by the wind and fell backwards or rolled down the hill.
The sword wind itself was not very powerful. However, every time the wand rotated a couple of times, four or five blades of wind came pouring out, and thanks to this, the vampires who climbed the hill lost limbs or tumbled into the fire with their stomachs and chests cracked.
After sweeping the ramp, Ellen replenished a little mana through the crystal ball and started shooting fireballs.
The fireballs, which flew far away in a gentle curve, increased in size dozens of times each time they fell to the ground, swallowing more than twenty of Tenbierma’s followers.
The fire did not spread easily because it was still raining heavily. However, if the first fireball evaporated, the second one would create a pool of fire that was quite fierce.
Thanks to the fact that the trio, who were in the midst of fame on the continent, were so active, the mercenaries’ morale rose and they shouted with all their might.
“come! Kill them all!”
“Lord of light!”
The first to jump out was the horsehair Fritz.
“Fritz-sama is here! Come on, you bastards who will stick with this mother!”
He wielded a silver-coated shortsword with his left hand and a shortened iron scabbard with his right hand.
The iron ball of the iron flail, coated with flame flower oil and spitting out fierce flames, shattered the head of the vampire who attacked from the front.
“Ki haaa-”
Fritz let out a scream and made a mess.
It bounced back and forth among the vampires who broke the iron sword that was swinging at a certain beat, breaking their heads and shoulders. Occasionally, he stabbed a silver-plated shortsword at someone who approached him.
“That bastard!”
“I jump out alone again! Chase!”
With Fritz running rampant like that, the mercenaries fiercely charged at the lower level vampires.
