My Villains Episode 280
52. Ancient Gate (8)
I plunged into darkness.
Did it fall about 40 meters? The light from the morning star’s white blade illuminated the floor. Immediately, he generated magic and memorized the starting language.
“As AA(“.”
Dark blue leather boots covered with sheet metal feet blew a strong wind. It was the unique boots ‘Aelopos.
‘ I researched it. Thanks to that, now I can handle this magical sphere quite skillfully.
The wind blowing from my boots pushed me up. Because I adjusted my magic power, it wasn’t enough to rise up again, just the speed of my fall. It was about 0 for a while.
The stop at a distance of about 23 meters from the ground didn’t last long, and I was able to get down to the ground lightly.
Between the thick scent of blood and the pungent smell of rot, I could feel the faint smell of water.
There was blood. The rat man’s hair and pieces of flesh were sticking to the walls everywhere. These are the traces of the red flowers Heila sent down earlier. It’s not a very nice view, but thanks to that, the rats and bodies stink
. There was no need to rub it, so it was not a loss.
Umm.
The white light of the longsword became a little stronger.
The blade, which was faint like a firefly on the ground, was now as bright as a lit candle. Like the name Star of Dawn, the deeper the darkness, the more its presence. Of course,
the unique longsword morning star wasn’t just a candle. The
darkness this sword sensed was not like a lack of light, but rather evil itself. The closer the evil is, the stronger it is. The longsword that emits the light of (破邪) was the morning star.
In the game, this longsword was actually treated as a weapon exclusively for paladins. The
unique option ‘Pasa’s light’ is usable in any class, so even so, the fixed option ‘purity’ This is because it was an option that was put in to use the Holy Knight.
‘ Purity’ is an eccentric option that rejects all mysteries except for divine power. In a word, it means that you cannot enchant or infuse magical power.
All mysteries except power include blood energy, so blood knights who rely on blood blades for a large part of their attacks and recovery are rarely used
. It’s sometimes heard, but no matter what anyone says, the morning star is a sword that must be used by a paladin to display 100% of its performance.
Well, it’s a morning star’s option. Anyway, now this knife was doing its job by providing ample light.
The light wasn’t very intense, but it was enough to aid my keen senses. I took a stride and entered the cave leading from the bottom of the well.
The sound of small hailstones hitting the roof never ceases .
Numerous rat men are running wild and rushing upward.
“…… uh “
…… three 『 .
I put aside my worries about the party for a while. If something I think is right, I must hurry.
After walking a little along the dark, stinky and bumpy cave, this time I see a small cavity. It is a space where the road splits into many branches, just like the room in an ant nest.
“Sizzling!”
The dozen or so ratmen who were staying there raised knives and axes in amazement when they saw me.
“Chick Yinggan?”
“Let’s fight! Please-!”
The warriors in red, rusted iron masks rushed at them without hesitation.
It’s definitely daunting to run into a swarm of heavily armed, nimble little monsters reaching your belly button. If it had been before, it might have left a few unnecessary scratches.
Well, of course not now.
baek!
Ratman, who was running in the lead at the inadvertent kick, flew backwards with his heart sinking. It’s very pitiful to see him get stuck in a corner with three or four of his colleagues.
“You-!”
Another Ratman came brandishing an axe.
Instead of backing down, I took a step forward. I held the morning star in my left hand and pulled out the black ice. The basement, which was already cold, became as cold as a low-temperature warehouse.
Kaga River-!
The warriors, including Ratman with an axe, rushed in unison and swung their weapons, but not a single attack left a scratch on the plate armor.
Tsutsutsu.
The blood that flowed through the scaled handcuffs covered the black body of the sword.
I cleared my mind and raised my mana. Half of the mana flowed into the heart and turned into blood. The remaining half of the pure magical power was pushed through the handle of the sword.
He suppressed the coldness of the black ice with magic. Then, he whirled his blood and inflated the blade of blood.
and swordsmanship.
Wedge liquid!
A long, dark red shadow bent like a piece of steel and covered the cavity.
There were no screams. One breath was enough for the Rat Man warriors to become dozens of pieces of flesh and mix with each other.
“Hmm.”
The move I just made was to pull out the ‘Blood Whip’ and wield it while slightly reducing the coldness of the black ice. It is a powerful technique that takes advantage of the weight and sharpness of the ice and takes care of both the flexibility and speed of the whip.
Mana management is quite tricky, so I looked around, thinking that I would need more practice to use it in real combat.
“What about this?”
There is not just one aisle. Most of them probably lead to wells.
I scratched my eyebrows with the cross of black ice and suddenly pointed here and there at the morning star I was holding in my left hand.
Ugh.
” oh.”
In one of the six passages, the blade’s white light slightly intensified.
Well, there is no time for useless maze exploration, so let’s put our faith in the performance of the morning star.
A few times to kill the ratmen you meet while walking in a hurry.
Seeing that the light of the Pasa has suddenly become as bright as a torch, I am convinced that ‘I am on the right track’.
Thanks to this, I did not notice any abnormalities even while the blood flow gradually widened. But at some point, when I started to hear a crackling sound from far away, I gripped the two longswords in an ominous mood.
The one that appeared in front of me who was so nervous-
“Ha crazy.”
It was a huge community made up of hundreds of thousands of ratmen.
As the morning star shines in a place where no light shines, the fierce struggles of the rats spread from the outside to the inside.
Warriors in armor and henchmen holding spears, cubs baring their teeth fiercely, and mothers feeding them, young ogres crouching in a corner, and rats bigger than humans…
. I almost lost my fighting spirit for a moment, but I quickly changed my mind.
“okay.”
Looking back, this is a pretty ideal place. Isn’t it that life that doesn’t matter even if you take your life is spread out endlessly deep in the ground where people’s eyes can’t reach at all.
“I was just about to need some food.”
As if they had heard that murmur, the warriors shouted loudly and pointed their weapons at me.
“Big Yinggan Manta!”
“Yes, give me-!”
They were armed with pretty good equipment, befitting the ones guarding the hideout. There were even a few pieces of equipment that looked like magic tools, which slightly blushed.
So, I put all my magic into the boots.
“As A Aw!”
Tung!
As if I had been put on the string of a huge bow and then shot, I bounced forward in an instant.
At the same time, he used blood energy to put a huge amount of blood on his brain.
“Huh.”
My eyesight was stained red.
Falling into a restful sleep, the artist swam to the surface. The corners of the mouth reach below the ears.
Did he know that it wouldn’t take that long? Entertainment was colorful and compact in its own way.
The slaughter continued using almost every part of the body, as well as two long swords.
To wield two longswords of the same length harmoniously is a feat that would normally take quite a bit of effort. But while the instinct was at its peak, it felt like an extension of the fingernails.
Thanks to the sudden appearance and shocking appearance, the Rat Man community quickly collapsed and began to scatter in all directions.
True to its name, Ratman, it was quite enjoyable to chase after those who ran away in fear, as it had a little bit of a human resemblance to it.
Temperance is always difficult, so it was difficult to draw the sword in a way that was not excessive. No, it’s not that, but I’ve been curious about what ‘not too good’ is.
As the question grew stronger, he woke up and threw the artist under the surface.
I groaned and wiped my face.
It is said that it is greasy and wipes off the blood, but the fur and pieces of flesh that were attached to it had to be peeled off by hand.
After walking for some time away from the stream flowing in several directions, the fishy smell lessens.
He fixed the morning star that was shining like a fluorescent lamp and began to scan it like a metal detector. The white light repeatedly intensified and weakened minutely, leading me to a certain wall.
Whoops.
“Is this it?”
I stopped in front of a large boulder leaning against the wall. When I gently put my finger on it, it seemed to be able to move even though it was quite heavy.
When I got into my posture and pulled it with both hands, Seonbawi rock opened like a door with a cooing sound and then fell forward.
Kung/
There was no dust or anything because the floor was wet enough. I moved carefully and entered the cave that was covered by Seonbawi.
Ratman’s safe was filled with all sorts of odds and ends as if it were an unreasonable space. Most of them were rusty metal, worn clothes, broken bones, etc., but gold, silver, jewels, and armor that were a little too big for a ratman to wear were also noticeable.
But now my interest was not in the treasure of the rats.
Holding my breath, I approached the corner of the safe. As I approached the part where Donghyeol was bent sideways.
A low voice came from there.
“Ugh. I can’t see you very well from here.”
I got goosebumps and held my breath. It’s because that deep voice was familiar to the ears.
“Could you come a little closer?”
Holding the black ice tightly, he let it hang down, lifted the morning star at an angle, and held it up like a torch as he walked. I tried to muffle the sound of my footsteps, but I couldn’t help but hear the clanking of sheet metal against each other.
Finally, the morning star shone in the farthest corner of the vault. The white blade was dazzling like the headlights of a car.
“It was you too.”
Crouching in the corner was a huge monster.
It was as big as a troll, with sharp nails like hooks, and black smoke billowing from the lower half of its body.
It was a demon possessing both a mighty body and a terrible spirit. The undead, commonly referred to as ghouls.
If I were an ordinary person, I would have screamed in terror just by making eye contact with a demon.
However, thanks to my strong body, abundant magical power, and all the experiences I had experienced in this world, my head was as cold as ice.
He stared at his sunken eyes and rotten nose before slowly opening his mouth.
” you.”
“Long live Phoenix-kun.”
Black smoke wafted from his mouth, and he smiled poutingly.
“Huh, it’s a relief that you’re hiding the pitiful old man. While I couldn’t see it, I became more devoted.”
I sighed quietly as I was quietly observing the poem talking happily.
“It is not a body. Is it like an alter ego?”
“It’s similar.”
“A coward.”
“Because standing in front of a knight with a high reputation is stabbing me.”
“Ha yeah? Have you finally realized that the crazy things you did were sins?”
At my sarcasm, the ghost or the old man beyond burst into laughter. Luke, an evil necromancer and nicknamed the ‘King of Death’ in the West, answered.
“You were appointed as a knight and swore an oath to the royal family and church. I have no choice but to be embarrassed to face you because I unintentionally caused trouble to them both.”
“Did it cause trouble… just cause trouble to the subject of dragging the undead army and tearing up the whole land?”
I smiled.
“You’re such an unchanging kid. It seems that the anger that I forgot for a while is reviving.”
“…Is that so?”
The demon’s wide eye sockets stared up at me.
“You have calmed down. I feel relaxed.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“I want to examine the soul, but I can’t see it very well with this blurry vision.”
“Sorry. I wanted to show you that I have grown quite well.”
Saying that and shrugging his shoulders, the deaf Luke burst into laughter.
