My Villains Episode 065
18. Elenar Radakalin (1)
“Lord of the Underground, here comes a challenger!”
Rumble.
The stone chamber started shaking with a roar. Not only the stone chamber, but also the huge cavity in the crypt began to vibrate as if an earthquake had occurred.
“What is this-”
I quickly threw myself at Ellen as Luke staggered for balance.
“Ouch damn it! Come on, kill him!”
Blasphemy!
As soon as the bastard’s shouting ended, a long crack was carved in the ceiling of the stone room. The circular staircase swayed unsteadily, and the hill supporting the stone chamber began to tilt.
thump thump!
A huge piece of stone had been ripped from the ceiling and lodged in the floor.
Dullahan quickly wrapped Luke’s body, and the rest of the Skeleton Soldiers staggered at me.
Goo Goo Goo.
The floor rippled, but I maintained my balance with beastly agility.
I was able to shake off most of the skeleton soldiers, but the one with the purple trident and the one with the one-handed sword near Ellen stood in my way until the end.
“Geu”
“I was aiming for that one, and while trying to dodge the outstretched trident, I fell to the floor. The blade, aiming for that gap, slashed at his neck. Instinctively I held out my left hand.
Poo-wook.
“
The hand, which had already been split, was pierced again by the amber blade, and blood spurted out.
Gluck.
At that time, the heart-colored blade made a strange sound. Then- it started sucking blood like a sponge!
The image of the knife he is holding comes into view. It must be the first time seeing it in real life, but the figure that is so familiar-
“Hrunting?”
It is ‘Hrunting’, one of the Blood Knight’s unique weapons!
When I thought of Hrunting’s fixing option, I pulled out my hand in fright, but this knife didn’t come off as if it had been glued on.
“Gee!”
When the Skeleton Soldier holding the Hrunting waved his Federation shield, I kicked the shield and rolled to the side.
However, the Hrunting that pierced the hand did not come off as if it were glued together, and the pain felt as if the grip would be torn at any moment. As I swallowed my screams and shook my hands away, squeak!
Fortunately, the skeleton soldier’s wrist was separated first.
“Kkeuu”
I gritted my teeth and scraped the bones of my hand hanging from the handle, then grabbed the hrunting.
Whoops! A tough sword.
A chilling sense of unity runs down my spine and hits my brain.
‘I can never retrieve the Skeleton Soldier’s equipment?’ A question like that didn’t even raise my head. I just felt the power rising through my body and let out a shout.
“Quaaah!”
At the same time, he swung Hrunting
and clawed!
As if cutting a pipe with a high-speed cutter, the sparks started to fly.
Together with him, Hrunting, which emits a brilliant red light, dug into the unique armor ‘Mirror’ diagonally. My grip felt numb as if it would tear at any moment, but I clenched my teeth and twisted my waist to finish the sword strike.
“Keep it off!”
Suck it!
In the end, Hrunting tore the skeleton soldier’s upper body in half.
Even though his comrade was cut in two, the one holding the unique trident ‘Ecstatic Death’ was balancing the spear’s ferrule on the ground. Then, taking advantage of the moment when the vibrations weakened, he fired a spear.
Kagak.
However, this guy whose weapons level was equal was not my opponent. I blocked the spear with Hrunting and at the same time entangled the blade between the spear blades and grabbed the spear pole with my left hand.
It’s so hot!
Then, pulling the spear rod with his left hand, he rotated his body, quickly pulled out the blade entangled in the spear blade, and struck the golden helmet with the Forte (the blade close to the guard side).
Clap!
Incredible anti-elasticity – The ‘Emperor’s Gift’ set boasted a hardness that was incomparable to the ‘Mirror’ that was cut just before. There was not a single scratch on the helmet even with all my strength.
blank.
Instead, the skeleton soldier who wore it couldn’t withstand the impact, and the head with a broken neckbone rolled on the floor.
“Hehehe, damn it! How dare you—”
Luke spat bloody spittle and waved his wand. At the same time, an elongated green shape rushed in at great speed. I instinctively heard Hrunting, but Chiik
“Q”
Damn, it was such a sudden attack that I couldn’t stop it.
The green figure clung to my right shoulder and began to melt my armor, spewing bubbles and smoke.
It was a similar phenomenon to when Grania was attacked by the black slime… It must have been ‘Acid Arrow’, a rank 2 skill in the annihilation magic series.
What’s this? I’ve never shot an acid arrow with that character before?
After a moment of doubt, I quickly cut off the straps and hooks on the pauldrons and Vambraces with Hrunting. The bubbling armor fell off and I ran back to Ellen.
“Keugh, hurry up and catch him!”
Luke shouted, but the Skeleton Soldiers seemed to struggle to keep their balance.
Skulls emitting blue light snapped at them, but they didn’t pose much of a threat because they had almost no combat power of their own.
Koo Goo Goo!
He was worried about Dullahan, but as the stone chamber tilted and the crack in the ceiling deepened, he seemed to have no time to move while protecting Luke. Even though Hrunting was there, I didn’t have the confidence to deal with him.
I was finally able to reach Ellen, who was leaning against the window.
“Ellen!”
“Just a little bit more patience!” Ellen was already unconscious. As soon as he picked up his small body, Luke screamed hysterically.
“Shoot the arrow! Kill them both!”
At that command, the skeleton soldiers with crossbows and longbows fired arrows. However, the attacks that were not properly balanced were all missed in vain.
Standing in front of a large arched window. I took a short deep breath. Then, he threw himself into the darkness without a single light.
“no-!”
Goo Goo Goo.
Leaving behind the tearing screams and violent ruptures, Ellen and I plummeted into the abyss.
The structure of the ‘rotting crypt’ is basically a cavity filled with groundwater. Here and there, large and small mounds rise like islands, and a huge hill rises in the center of them.
No, I don’t think the word hill is very accurate. Since the rock wall and the stone chamber above it are touching the ceiling, the expression ‘pillar’ would be more appropriate.
At any rate, three sides of the pillar are low sandy beaches, and the other side is made up of sheer cliffs.
Me and Ellen were falling down that very cliff.
Whoops.
It is almost deafening from the roaring sound and the strong wind. I curled up with Ellen in my arms. There was no time to look around.
There’s no reason for that anyway. There was not a single light everywhere, and even if you could see something, there was nothing you could do. I just prayed with my teeth clenched.
Paaang!
“Gureuk-”
Did the prayer work? It was not rocks or piles of dirt that hit me in the back, but the cold groundwater.
Of course, the feeling was that the back of my head was tingling and nauseous because I had fallen from a height of about the 10th floor of an apartment building.
Still, it wasn’t a good situation yet to think about where the mind was holding on.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The underground water that was filling up in the cavity was swirling wildly like valley water. The cavity shook and cracked here and there, and the groundwater began to rapidly recede in a whirlwind. It was because the event of the altar was triggered.
“Kureuuuk-”
There is no spirit at all.
Caught in the vortex, she covered Ellen’s mouth and nose, avoided stone fragments falling from the ceiling, and slashed insects and zombies with her sword… I don’t know
where it went.
I don’t know if Ellen’s heart has stopped or is beating weakly.
slam!
And finally we were lucky enough to end up on a small sandbank.
“Keheuk khehe!”
She coughed up water and quickly pulled Ellen up.
It was only after I got as far away from the violently swirling vortex that I laid him down on the flat floor. Then he took out a piece of cloth from his mouth and put it on his ear.
not breathing Still, when I looked at my chest, my heart was beating, albeit slightly.
what to do What should I do?
I recalled the first aid I learned in the army.
heart massage? No, is your heart beating? Do I need artificial respiration because I ate water?
Yes, I don’t even have heart massage myself in the first place. I heard that even skilled paramedics tend to break bones, but with my current body, I might end up smashing all my ribs.
“Secure the airway, remove foreign objects-”
Somehow, Sergeant Moon’s voice comes to mind. I lifted Ellen’s chin and opened her mouth to see inside.
…there is no light, so there is nothing to see. There was no backpack, let alone a torch…
I groped for a finger and felt the severed tongue, which gave me goosebumps for a moment.
I heard that when the tongue is cut off, it rolls inside and blocks the throat, but I guess this is not the case with Ellen.
Then he covered his nose and breathed through his mouth. I breathed in as hard as I could until my head was pounding, but there was no response.
“What can I do?”
I muttered like an idiot and put my hand inside my chest.
The breastplate was torn and warped from being hit by the bloody vanguard, but as if by luck, the iron-rimmed glass bottle was intact.
Woowook Boo.
He untied Ellen’s robe and tore the bloody shirt. Then, groping around in the darkness, he unfastened his belt and pulled up his chemise.
He groped his wounds and held his breath. It was because something hot was sticking out a little. Bona Mana was a great meditation.
I pushed something with my trembling hand. The words hygiene and bacterial infection did not come to mind.
Then he immediately opened the cap of the vial and sprayed half of it on the wound. Care was taken to spread evenly throughout the affected area.
Chi profit.
The fishy yet sweet smell unique to the potion spreads and bubbles bubble up. The affected area seems to be healing.
I don’t know who invented the wound healing potion, but I really want to suck my toes. This is a true miracle itself.
This is not the time. I think I’ll have to feed the rest of the potion…
I’m also in a state of wounds here and there, including my left hand. I wanted to collapse at any moment, but I managed to gather my will and organize my thoughts.
You have to breathe first.
I breathed into my mouth again and worked up the courage to do a heart massage.
“Vertical compression in the center of the chest…”
It wasn’t easy struggling to save a life in the dark. But like someone possessed by something, I repeated CPR nonstop.
“Keheek Kkeuh!”
at las!
During artificial respiration, Ellen vomited something. Judging by the taste and smell of the liquid that touched her lips, it did not appear to be blood.
“Heh heh-”
“Ellen, take a deep breath. depth.”
“Ugh-”
It seems that he hasn’t regained consciousness yet.
Ellen coughed heavily, then took a thin breath. Little by little, I poured the half-remaining potion into his mouth.
“Drink please. You must drink.” However, the sticky potion didn’t go down Ellen’s throat, but stuck to the wound on her tongue first. The quiet tongue regenerating and growing in size on its own was rather a hindrance to the treatment.
Still, I poured the rest of the potion into Ellen with patience. The guy swallowed the potion with difficulty, his throat twitching slightly.
The potions he had generously thrown at Grania and Arnal flickered in front of his eyes.
I really desperately need the potion of healing wounds and the potion of infrared vision right now… All
I could do now was knead Ellen’s limbs while resenting my past self. But Ellen’s body went cold.
“Why are you doing this?”
I’ve regained my breath and my wounds are almost healed, but why?
“Calm down, Ellen. Ellen!”
“Ugh-”
“Ellen!”
The boy only groaned and breathed infrequently. Even cold sweat flows from the water-soaked head. It would have been nice to have a dry towel—the brief thought was interrupted by Ellen’s voice.
“Ah uh- Poi?”
“Eh Ellen? Do you come to your senses?”
“Oooh ah pia-”
“It’s because there is no fire. I ran away in a hurry, so I didn’t take the torch, the flint, or anything.”
Strangely enough, tears flowed as I picked up words like excuses.
“I’ve treated all my wounds—but my body doesn’t get warm.”
“It’s cold-”
“I think it’s because the wound is bleeding a lot. How about this…”
It’s hard to finish my words because I keep getting choked up.
My heart feels like it’s about to jump out of my mouth because of the anxiety that’s pressing down on my chest. I swallowed my nausea and massaged Ellen’s arms and legs incessantly. However, Ellen’s body continued to cool down.
“Me me—”
“Tell me. I am listening.”
“cold. Go-”
“No, I won’t die. Why are you?”
He breathed heavily. Ellen spoke so quietly that she couldn’t hear.
“Ah give me.”
“uh?”
“It’s so cold, sorry.”
I hugged Ellen without a word. I completely embraced his small body as if hiding it from the world.
The strong scent of blood and the disgusting potion smell, and between the mud and watery smells, there was a faint scent of lime. It was the scent of Ellen’s hair. I was going to ask what the secret was…
“Ellen Ellen.”
Ellen said nothing.
Unlike my heart, which thumped rapidly and violently, his beat was gradually fading.
“Ellen. Please answer me.”
Ellen didn’t say anything either.
And finally my heart stopped.
