My Villains Episode 210
45. Into the Mist (10)
At the end of the death procession, Utequai swallowed the huge heart while Starmaker Soleva gnashed her teeth and increased her mana.
“Big-!”
Due to being hit by Phoenix’s javelin, blood flowed down his shoulder, but Soleva had no time to care about that. It was because of the mighty magic that he could not have imagined he would encounter on the ground.
“A lowly human, like a young girl,” he
muttered ferociously while hissing his tongue for a while.
Yongin quickly moved his body. It was because the pure white spear flew in with a fierce gong sound.
The wedge-
white spear, or the frost awl, was as fast as an arrow, but it wasn’t to the point that it couldn’t be avoided because it flew from a long distance. However, if you really tried to avoid it, the frostbite would turn its head and follow the target tenaciously.
Eventually, Soleva gave up avoiding and quickly memorized a spell.
“Agun daka§ (I order you to stop it)!”
Just before the frostbite pierced him, the bare air was dyed red and formed several layers. The frost awl blocked by the force field shield thus formed shattered with a sharp roar.
White ice pieces sparkle and scatter, followed by ugh! and a strange sound was heard.
With a vibrating sound like a bee flapping its wings, a sharp wind blew in and out.
Kagagak-!
“Ugh ha,
the light green sharp winds scattered like cutting a red shield. Soleva was surprised and quickly restored the force field by injecting magic power into it.
“Damn the bitch!”
The bright yellow vertical pupil constricted with a vicious light. The murderous intention was directed to Ellen, who was reciting a spell on the hill.
“Refrenan tem disseminan dam-”
she murmured the phrase “fly away and spread it” as she waved the wand in her right hand. Even in the midst of this, he held the hand sign with his left hand, and the hand sign became a command, causing the dancing spirit flying above Soleva’s head to pour out sword winds.
And finally, Ellen finished the order with her eyes shining brightly.
“Lum-fere!”
At that start, flames gushed out of the silver-gray wand, and soon it shot out in the form of a sphere.
…….
Soleva cursed and covered her face with the hem of her robe, and the fireball, which was as big as a human head, slammed the force field shield with its long tail.
Kwak-!
“Gaug.”
The ground-shaking impact threw Soleva off balance and staggered.
As the red energy that had been dyeing the air was scattered in the flames, he hurriedly raised his mana and made a shield again. Then he turned around and groaned.
“You stupid, lame bitch! How long are you going to keep on reciting orders!”
Although ferocious language was poured out, the woman holding the black cane remained expressionless. She completed the spell with an unfocused gaze and stabbed the ground with her staff.
Goo-gu-gung –
The ground tremor that started from afar passed by the woman’s feet in an instant. The heavy reverberation turned into an explosion at the point where the black cane met, and it created a huge hole by scattering dirt and stones in all directions.
The mercenaries, who were just taking their breath away after dealing with the ferocious druids, hardened their complexions when they found something crawling out of the hole.
“… Damn it. What is that again?”
“Such an arm-”
Ponytail Fritz laughed and tied a knot in the chain of the flail.
“Everything like star shit comes out. What kind of lizard kid is the back hole of hell?”
Kiyiyyyyy—
what came out of the hole the woman had made were scorpions, spiders, ants, and all sorts of bugs.
The worms poured out to the ground like a well, and as if one hole wasn’t enough, they made a second and third tunnel.
Shiny chitinous shell with rough claws and multiple hairy appendages wriggling antennae and hard jaws.
The sight of insects crawling out was disgusting. But
what’s even more horrifying is that all the bugs were as big as calves……
“Ha, the summoned slave summons monsters again…
‘What is a matryoshka?’ Phoenix grumbled, brushing up his bangs and pressing down on the iron helmet. Then, he pounded the breastplate with his sword blade to draw the attention of the mercenaries, then shrugged.
“What are you doing stupidly? Stop it!”
After shouting, Phoenix kicked off the horned bear’s head as he ran across the ground. The huge head that flew among the insects exploded and scattered blood in all directions.
“Okay, let’s go!”
Led by Steedman and Fritz the Ponytail, the mercenaries rushed after Phoenix.
“shit.”
Archer Cole was pulling his bowstring on top of a stone wall and bit his lip when he saw the bugs summoned by the summoner.
‘If it’s Ellen-sama’s magic, it can be swept away in an instant.’
Unfortunately, Ellen, who was standing next to him, didn’t seem to be able to afford it. It was because of Soleva, the red-skinned dragon.
He put on a solid defense and blew a shockwave that could destroy the walls of a castle. If Ellen didn’t keep it in check, that powerful spell would wipe out the mercenaries.
Besides, Cole saw Ellen use the crystal ball twice. There was no doubt that he didn’t have enough horsepower.
“Whoa.”
Cole struggled to keep his composure. He supported his teammates by shooting arrows with his numb arm, and occasionally shot an arrow at Soleva at an opening.
A long arrow pierced the belly of a spider and the mouth of an ant behind it. Even though they were skewers, they stirred their legs and antennae, but the one-handed half-sword of heavy swordsman Umberta, who was breathing nearby, broke them in two.
Meanwhile, the tunnel created by the summoner collapsed and spewed out a giant centipede. Cole, who confirmed that the length was huge enough to reach 5 6 meters, looked back impatiently.
“We have to deal with the wizards.” The target he spoke to was a bunch of women from the East wearing black capes and skins.
When she didn’t even look at him, Cole continued quietly.
“How are you going to surprise me in this small space? Leave this to us.”
“Shh.”
Mungchi had a crossbow bolted to a small mechanical device attached to his left forearm, and his right hand rested on the daggers worn around his waist. She muttered softly without turning her head.
“Quiet.”
It was a surprisingly cold voice.
Cole quietly swallowed dry saliva, but did not hesitate to open his mouth again.
“If there is a surprise attack, I will throw my body to stop it. So Mr. Munch, kill that dragon.”
Only then did Mungchi’s eyes turn to Cole.
“You can’t stop.”
“yes?”
“And don’t give orders.”
In his sharply forged gaze, he could even feel a subtle sense of life. Eventually, Cole shut up.
‘…shit. If there was a mummy, it would have made sense.’
People who saw Mungchi for the first time would smile heartily at the way they fawned in front of Phoenix.
It is because the sight of a young woman with an exotic beauty acting like a puppy or cat makes people open their hearts.
However, those who watched the bundle for some time did not consider her cute anymore.
It’s hard to call a woman cute when she strangles people without a look or hesitation, and when she’s alone, fiddles with deadly poison or a killing machine, pops out of the dark without any sign.
In addition, there was no sociability from the nature of gathering. There were not one or two people who spoke out of curiosity but received cold stares and callous disregard.
So, there were only five people in the party who could properly communicate with Mungchi. One of them was the freckled mummy.
Cole glanced ahead, but Meera was busy moving her feet among the bugs.
It was impossible to call Mira, who was fighting in full swing, or to ask Ellen, who was busy casting spells.
In the end, Cole realized that there was no way to convince the group, and clicked his tongue.
“Wow-!”
Just in time, Ute Kwai, whose mouth was stained with blood, spewed steam from his shoulder and threw himself at the giant centipede.
Kihehehe –
he must have completely forgotten the existence of the hammer attached to his waist, and he grabbed the centipede by the jaws with his bare hands and smashed them to the ground.
“…her.”
Cole stuck out his tongue and fired an arrow at the protest. Just as Utequai did when he wrestled with Drake, this time he was going to support him with arrows.
Thanks to Cole’s focus on long-range support, he was able to confine the united spirit in silence.
All the noise and stench of the chaotic battlefield overcame her alert senses and distracted her. In such a situation, it was usually not difficult to prepare for an ambush while being wary of the surroundings.
But the bundle did just that. Because that was the mission given to her.
Thanks to this, Mungchi did not panic even when the fog that hung over the hill was torn apart.
Anger-!
What emerged from the thick fog was a werewolf with silvery fur.
The old monster ‘Silverfang’, over 3 meters tall, was wearing a black leash and holding two sharp songs in both hands. As soon as she came out of the fog, she hurled herself at her target.
Ungchi was relieved without anyone noticing.
It was because it was not Ellen, her escort, that Silver Fang was aiming for.
Of course, no matter what he was thinking, Mungchi kicked the ground like a spring. The people the werewolves were targeting were also under the protection of Phoenix.
“Behind Alena.”
Silver Fang rushed towards it like the wind, but Heila was as expressionless as usual. She pushed Alena back and glanced at the wad.
Heila made a quick decision and raised her left hand. Four of the five diamonds engraved on the glove flashed.
Cre.
Within a couple of breaths after breaking through the fog, the werewolf with silver hair rushed right in front of Heila. He swung the curved sword in both hands
fast enough to leave an afterimage. It was the ‘
star
shield’ that shone silver that blocked the attack.
Among the red rings on Heila’s right hand, the thumb’s lost its power. Right before the ring melted completely, she gathered a handful of magical energy and pushed it into her left hand.
Tung!
The last diamond engraved on the glove turned into a bullet and was fired, but Silverfang ducked his back with his amazing reflexes and avoided it.
The counterattack was blocked, but Heila was unfazed. It was partly because of his original personality, but in this case, he was particularly calm thanks to the waft of flying cloak.
The mungchi who ran silently threw two daggers in succession. The werewolf, who noticed the approach belatedly, raised a curved sword for defense.
However, it was not the daggers that reached her first, but the crossbow shot a step later.
Whoops—Silverfang quickly ducked his head to avoid the crossbow flesh, then swung his two curved swords. That’s how one of the daggers was cut off, but the other one couldn’t prevent it from being lodged in the shoulder.
However, perhaps because of lack of strength, only the tip of the dagger was shallow. The werewolf pulled out the somehow sticky dagger as if shaking it off and threw it back at the bundle.
The moment the bloody dagger flew like a shot, drawing a red line, the blade’s light flashed from the dance at the waist of the bundle.
The short sword pulled out in an instant cut off the dagger. It was a formidable quick sword that ordinary people could not even react to.
Following that motion, the mungchi rushed forward without slowing down in the slightest. Silver Fang also gave a low growl and swung the two swords at each other.
The moment the swords were about to meet, the wad suddenly fell to the floor. Rolling on the ground like a squirrel, she cut a long slash with her knife near the werewolf’s knee.
However, only thin blood lines remained on the unusually tough fur, and Silver Fang turned around and chased the bunch as if nothing had happened.
The bloody chase continued for a while. Heila shouted as she hugged Alena and ducked.
“Use silver weapons!”
Ungchi immediately took out three or four daggers from his waist and sprayed them.
However, Silverfang was not an ordinary beast, but a monster with reason, so he realized that the daggers were dangerous to him and rolled on the ground like a ball.
And the werewolf, who was getting up, opened his mouth wide and retched.
Khehek kheung heh-?
At Silverfang’s bewildered gaze, Mungchi’s mouth drew a long arc.
“ZEnmeyAng (how about it)? Teng ma (ah’ pa)?”
The werewolf only staggered at the assassin’s low question, but did not respond. Even with the tough vitality and strong resistance unique to lycanthropes, they could not overcome the poison created by the bunch.
However, her poison was so severe that even a strong warrior could be killed with just a couple of drops. It was natural for Silverfang to feel dizzy and nauseous as the blade cut his leg long after being pickled in such a deadly poison.
As if he didn’t want an answer anyway, he measured a new arrow at the crossbow and fired it.
Fu-wook!
A crossbow bolted into Silverfang’s sluggish side, and the intensifying miasma engulfed her whole body. The old werewolf let out an angry growl at the suffocating pain.
As Silver Fang became extremely vulnerable, Moongchi pulled out the silver daggers he had been saving until then and threw them away. A dagger was inserted into the werewolf’s hamstrings, waist and chest, and smoke rose.
When
the giant werewolf knelt down, he approached without a sound and slammed the shortsword into his neck.
Poo-wook.
Corrupted mana was scattered on the silver-coated blade, and Silver Fang, who was sporting a beautiful silver mane, lay down on the floor as an old woman.
Moongchi, who was looking down at the old woman who died with her whole body turned into eggs, turned her head away with a cold smile. Phoenix and Utequai were sweeping away the insects like a pair of whirlpools. However, Starmaker Soleva and the summoner of the black staff were still alive and the battle was still going on because of that.
In addition, Ellen, who had been pouring out spells without a break, was shaking her slender legs as if she had run out of mana, and one-eyed Simos and veteran conjurer were quite seriously injured.
Even when he saw that the war situation was not good, Munchchi’s black eyes shone with a twinkle. It was because she was expected to perform an active role and receive a reward accordingly.
Mungchi jumped into the mist, leaving Heila and Alena behind.
After the battle was over, mercenaries gathered in the clearing where I was sitting.
“Oh, I knew you were really going to die.”
As Steedman sighed, the veteran conductor sitting next to him narrowed his eyes.
“I don’t think that’s something you would say without a single wound.”
“You have no wounds? Mister, can’t you see this?”
“Ah, that’s a scratch,”
said Confair, before speaking, ‘Turn it off’ and gritted his teeth. It was because Archer Cole had poured a potion on his thigh.
“I don’t know why Mr. Confair becomes a chatterbox whenever he gets hurt.”
“Kkeuuu, it hurts less if we chat.”
“Did you learn that through experience?”
“Let that happen.”
Other mercenaries were also sitting here and there taking care of their wounds. Gidon, the crossbowman, was taking care of Esanna’s corpse with braided hair, and Fritz with ponytails and chubby Esson were digging a grave for her.
“Cer—”
Utequai, the MVP of this battle, collapsed and snored.
He suffered quite a few injuries during the battle, but not a single scratch was left because he chewed and swallowed not only Drake’s heart, but also the heart of the worms.
Honestly, it was the first time I knew that spiders and centipedes had hearts. It was terribly gross.
By the way, Utequai’s ring, ‘Predator’s Seal’, is also a fraudulent item. To think that stat buffs depend on stamina recovery. Well, it’s something you can use only if you have a good stomach.
Meanwhile, Heila was busy calming the frightened Alena, and Ellen, who had exhausted all her mana, was sitting on a broken tree and meditating.
And the second
MVP of this battle, Moongchun…
“Aha ahao-”
“Does it hurt? Do you know how painful it is to do such a dangerous thing?”
“Eh Jae-hung-ae-oh”
“Is it enough to say sorry?”
“Eh-”
Both cheeks were pinched at me, and tears were stinging. Well, I gave it some strength without even realizing it, and it looks like it really hurts.
” Ugh.”
I sighed and let go of the wad. The squatting guy grabbed his blushing cheeks and buried his face between his knees.
The reason I scolded Mungchi was because he acted surprisingly dangerous.
We were in the middle of a battle when a bunch came out from the other side and attacked the summoner.
Yes, that means he made a detour through that dangerous fog!
Well of course- thanks to him killing the summoner at once, the bugs scattered and I took advantage of that gap and rushed in and blew Soleva’s head off.
But that’s it, and if the bunch that went into the fog had disappeared like Enio and the other mercenaries did…
“O” —
I hate to even imagine.
As I frowned and shook my head, the squatting group shook their shoulders. Then he lifted his watery eyes and looked at me…
“…Really.” Was it because he was so cute that his expression unraveled unbeknownst to me? Mungji, who was examining my face, smiled bashfully.
“Ah-oh. If this is really cute, you’ll think it’s sweet-”
“Ehe.”
When he poked his side with his finger, Mung-chi twisted his body. As I continued to play with my cheeks and nose, he laughed like an idiot and hugged me.
“Uhh yes.”
Well, dangerous is dangerous, and good is good.
While I was petting the hair of the bundle hanging from my arm, the freckled mummy ran over with a big smile.
“Phoenix-sama! I’ve collected all the magic tools!”
“good.”
After all the hard work and sharpening, shall we enjoy the results now?
