My Villains Episode 223
47. Nightmare (5)
I saw my reflection in the mirror hanging on one side of the dressing room.
“…it hits the goal.”
A black half-cloak covered half of the upper body with leather clothes and armor full of flaws. Gloves with a snake’s scale pattern and a belt with a length of more than 1.2 meters. It was an outfit that didn’t go well with the things around her – a finely folded towel, a plastic comb, a hair dryer and a glass bottle of lotion.
It’s a sense of difference. Anyway, thanks to the equipment being re-equipped, I feel very comfortable. In particular, when I put my hand on Hrunting’s furmal around my waist, I feel a sense of security close to coziness.
Cabinet 1 contained my equipment, while cabinet 2 contained Cole’s equipment, including a dark yellow composite bow.
“Hmm…
why aren’t the other co-workers’ belongings missing?
In the midst of doubts, I suddenly have an ominous thought.
Couldn’t Ellen Utequai Mungchi Heila be somewhere other than this mansion?
No matter what happened, I sat still and there was nothing to solve, so I went out of the dressing room armed and looked around the second floor again.
Here, as on the third floor, the floor was soft, but perhaps because of the studded soles of the leather boots, the sound of footsteps echoed quite loudly.
However, he did not slow down his steps to try to reduce the sound.
If you sneak around like a thief and run into black monsters like before… Ah, just imagining it is horrific. Maybe this time my heart will really sink.
I decided that it would be better for my mental health if I forced myself to relax and walk around confidently.
Searching the second floor again, there was still no human presence.
I tried to touch the computers in the office one by one just in case, but they don’t turn on at all.
When I see the fluorescent lights on, it seems to have power, but why doesn’t the computer turn on?
A moment to question. I realized that hoping for common sense in this weird world would be foolish.
Aside from the computer, what should I do now?
“……turn off”
O.
…In fact, the place I had to go was decided from the beginning.
have to go down Go down to the first floor and find your companions. And, with or without colleagues, you must leave this place when the search is over.
Even though I was clearly aware of this, I was only wandering around the fire door leading to the stairs, barely moving forward.
There was also a reluctance towards the heavy spirited monster ‘Siljang Heo’ who wandered around with a roar… but that wasn’t all. It seems that an ominous feeling that is difficult to explain is sprouting in my heart.
Even in the middle of my chest, my reason was rolling my head hard.
Shall we go down through the terrace?
no it’s too dangerous You’ve already experienced it.
If you want to escape, you can go down there and run to the front door, but I have to search the first floor anyway. The way to go down to the terrace and break the glass door to enter was very likely to provoke the monster named Heo Siljang.
Then again, there is only one answer. While holding
Ki-
Hrunting, I carefully opened the fire door and entered the stairs.
“O 99
Looking at the ovum of blood makes me sick to my stomach. It is because of the terrible appearance of the nurse monster.
It is fortunate that the body is not there. If there was even a corpse, my hesitation would have been twice as long.
“……Whoa.”
After shaking off the nausea with a sigh, I went down to the first floor.
The first thing that caught my eye when I entered the first floor was the speed gates lined up on the left and right.
It might be awkward since the things that are commonly installed at the entrance of a company or building are located in a mansion in the suburbs, but perhaps because of the interior, it doesn’t feel out of place.
As I approached, wondering if I should skip it, the acrylic plate snapped open.
“…Ai-san is a surprise.”
Well, since you’re standing inside the gate, it’s only natural that the door opens without a pass.
I slowly left the speed gate and
looked around.
Whether it’s because of the high ceiling or the interior, the first floor gave off the impression of a department store lobby. In the front, the front window with blinds was full of sight, and there was a front desk on one side and a cafe on the other side.
I searched for rooms where my colleagues might be locked up, but the first floor was so wide open that there weren’t many places to call it a room.
After examining the public bathroom, inside the cafe’s kitchen, and even the bathroom behind the desk, I was sure that the building, which I didn’t know if it was a mansion or not, was empty.
The search is over, so now we have to get out of here. I have to go back to the third floor and wake up Cole-
“Huh?”
I was just about to move towards the stairs when I heard a man’s shrill voice.
“What is a multiplier?”
A voice calling me came from the entrance on the first floor. Slowly turning his head, he sees Wen Jang-han smiling.
“It’s a win. Why are you out alone?”
“…Who are you?”
“……Yes?”
He was a man in his mid-thirties, with his short-cropped hair trimmed with pomade and a neat suit, with a grandiose look.
“What are you doing? Are you kidding me?”
“what the. I told you to call me hyung, and you joked around. Aren’t you just a calm character?” The man in the suit had fair skin, so at first glance he looked like an ordinary office worker, but he was as tall as me and had very broad shoulders, so I felt somewhat intimidated.
And it gave off the same atmosphere as a trained warrior.
“But why are you alone? Where is the nurse going?”
“Is the lady here? Today is Wednesday. Isn’t it the day the lady goes to school?”
The man in the suit tilted his head and came all the way. Instead of answering his question, I lifted Hrunting.
“What are you doing? Is it a hidden camera?”
“…don’t talk nonsense, just attack me.”
“what?”
The man in the suit let out a chuckle.
“Look at this guy. Let’s see, let’s see, so does the head of the department look like a wrapping cloth?”
Saying that, the man approached me and stretched out his arms towards me.
It was like putting a headlock on a close brother, but I quickly stepped back and swung Hrunting.
Awesome!
Apparently, the blade with quite a bit of force touched his forearm, but the man was fine except for a small cut at the hem of his sleeve.
“Ah, fuck-!”
The man frowned when he saw that the gold button on his cuff had fallen off.
“Does this crazy bastard know how much this costs?”
No matter what he said, I held the hrunting high above my forehead and aimed the point of my sword at his forehead. The unfamiliar, familiar posture is a little subtle, but it gives a sense of stability.
When I pointed the knife at him instead of answering, the man in a suit burst into laughter and cursed at me.
“Hey, this bastard doesn’t even know up and down. am i funny Do you think you’ve become anything because the lady is playing with you?”
His clean, white face turned red.
“You poor bastard, you are a pet hamster. If the lady gets tired of you, from that moment on, you’ll just have to live as a rat. understand?”
The face of the man who had been pouring out words was dyed in a dark red color, followed by a black light.
“But such a bastard-”
The man twisted and bulked up. His physique, which was similar to mine, doubled and tripled in an instant. My rationality ordered me to attack immediately since this was my chance, but my body hardly listened.
“How dare you hit me!”
The man turned into a giant whose entire body was dyed black.
At first glance, they looked similar to the black monsters we saw on the second floor, but there was a crucial difference. The giant’s body proportions were grotesquely distorted, so large that his shoulders could touch the lobby’s high ceiling.
Her legs were short enough to be less than X her height, and her shoulders were grotesquely broad. The arm was hanging from a fist bigger than the head, and the arm itself was extended so that the fingertips could touch the ground while standing upright.
The giant, who looked like three or four times as many trolls from side to side, pounced on me as I was frozen.
“Aww!”
It was the eardrum-shattering scream that moved her body before being crushed by the giant palm.
“Huh”
I barely came to my senses and rolled my body to the side with my teeth gritting at the black shadow cast under my feet.
Kwak-!
The marble floor shattered in an instant, scattering shimmering debris in all directions.
As soon as I got up, I quickly ran forward. There was a loud bang and vibration from behind, and flying stone fragments pounded the back of the head and back.
“X arm”
That’s Chief Heo.
I swear and ran with all my might toward the doorway.
I couldn’t afford to open the door, so I threw myself against the thick glass while covering my face with a glove.
For a while, there is a sharp clicking sound. The ensuing monster shattered all the windshields and drowned out all the noise.
“You bastard!”
Chief Heo shouted as if the air was shaking and pursued me with all his might. The weightless thump made my bones quiver, and I fired at an amazing speed using fear as fuel.
He was slower than me, but as the six-meter-tall monster ran at full speed, it was formidable.
No, as soon as the giant started accelerating, it started catching up with me.
Booung!
The giant’s fingertips brushed through his hair. The gate was right in front of me, but I felt like I was about to be caught by a giant before I reached it.
The moment I realized this and despaired. The sound of
wedge-
cutting wind and the crackling sound of iron plates being torn resounded one after another.
“Uh uh uh uh”
I quickly flung my body to the side and looked back to see the black giant taking a posture with both hands on the floor right before he fell forward. Upon closer inspection, a thick arrow was lodged quite deep in his left hamstring.
“Ponyx-sama!”
The main character of the voice was Archer Cole. He was standing by the window in a room on the second floor—probably a golf practice room—and pulling a string.
It seems that he came to his senses and got up, followed my trail, and recovered his equipment.
“Okay, keep shooting-!”
At the same time as he shouted, he straightened his grip on Hrunting.
The brutality, cruelty, and fighting spirit of a warrior were lost, and only a coward remained, his body gasping for breath.
“After that, yes. Let’s try it.”
Now was the time to fight, not the time to run.
Although the monster looked very frightening, it was not likely to be as strong as a crawling dragon or an underground lord. In addition, he had all his equipment, including Hrunting, and was in good condition.
The body gave an answer to reason’s long and earnest persuasion.
“Ghaaaagh!”
He shouted like a backbone and ran towards the giant.
Heo, who was shot in the back by a second arrow, was looking back toward the mansion where Cole
was
. My heart dropped, but things got better.
After doing a run-up with all his might as if doing a high jump, he kicked the ground. Even though I was wearing armor, my body felt surprisingly light, and as I pushed the ground with overflowing power at the moment of leaping, I felt as if something was pulling me up.
Whoo!
Jumping up like a bird, he slammed Hrunting into the giant’s neck.
Knock-!
“Big.”
The moment the blade hit the guy’s black skin, sparks flew like welding. My wrists tingle as if I had hit a lump of iron.
A large scar was left on Chief Heo’s neck, but he still moved his body.
“Uwoah-!”
No, he was running amok with anger.
Right after I retrieved the Hrunting and landed, I raised my hand, realizing the lack of sharpness of the blade.
no you don’t have to do this
Normally, I would have to cut my skin with a blade, but now I was wearing the ‘Death King’s Scaled Handcuffs’.
“Whoa.”
As I concentrated on raising my blood, I felt a tingling sensation in my palms.
Blood seeped through the glove.
As if the blood was supposed to flow that way, the blood wrapped around Hrunting’s handle and climbed up, then embraced the blade.
Hrunting flashes! As soon as I showed off my brilliant red light, I jumped at the black giant that was running towards me.
Boooooong!
The giant’s index and middle fingers passed from side to side, and in an instant, a blood-stained hrunting was pierced into the giant’s face in front of him.
Woowook!
Hrunting’s blade disappeared into the giant’s eyeballs with the sensation of stabbing hard tofu with chopsticks. If it hadn’t been for the crucifix, it would have gone all the way to my wrist.
“ugh.”
The giant fell to the ground with a low, desperate cry.
The giant collapses and thumps! At the same time as they made a noise, a gust of wind blew in from somewhere and was sucked in toward the gate. The gate shaped like an iron fence opened
and
a woman entered.
A beautiful woman in a white shirt and blue skirt.
“…Jeong So-ha?”
Something cracked in my head at the woman’s quiet smile.
