Chapter 120
My Villains Episode 120
31. Vision Hunter(3)
single phase.
As soon as I saw Atalanta's armor, I knew what kind of character she was..
Of course, I didn't remember the specific characteristics of the sub characters. Right now, I can't even remember the nickname of the vision hunter I raised. Roughly speaking, it would be a nickname like ‘Nogada 11’ or ‘Farming 22’..
I just looked at the equipment and inferred the level, and came up with the build of 'Arcane Hunter for farming', no, 'Vision Hunter for hard work'..
And by my standards, non-hardcore warrior hunters have no PvP capabilities..
“'Arshdni Raby.”
With a small murmur, Atalanta's momentum changed completely. ‘Whispers in the wilderness’. It's a decent buff.
I scoffed inwardly and put a red filter over my vision. The best buff I know is ‘Blood Thirst’.
Atalanta stretched out the Void Spear again. I glanced at it and saw that the first Void Spear had not yet regained its original form..
I stopped running and caught my breath. The Void Spear, which was being shot at a speed comparable to that of an arrow, suddenly slows down..
“Whoop
And, slash.
Squeak!
The Spear of Void was cut into pieces by slashing with all my passion..
“Wow!”
Unable to withstand the continuous mental blows, Atalanta let out a sweet scream..
“Ugh,”
Then, he gritted his teeth and began to gather the power of the void. The purple energy emanating from my back gathers at my fingertips..
And, that energy took the shape of a small ball. It was the 'Sphere of Void', a skill that was the alpha and omega of the hardworking secret warrior hunter..
It is a type of landmine-like technology that causes enormous damage to enemies within a certain range when exploded. In terms of damage and range, it is a much more powerful technique than the elemental wizard's fireball..
If that explodes, not only I but my colleagues who are currently retreating will not be safe. The reason I rushed at Atalanta alone was because of that skill..
However, Void Orb is not a PvP skill..
“cold!”
I threw away the javelin that I was holding along with the shield..
Starting from the thrust that created dust, the force passed through the waist, shoulder, elbow, and wrist to the javelin, creating a ray of light..
Suung!
U —f W
Atalanta gritted her teeth and tilted her upper body as the javelin struck like a thunderbolt..
profit.
The left ear was torn slightly, and a few strands of purple-stained hair were scattered. At the same time, the sphere of void scattered in vain..
As the fresh scent of blood fills my nose, my feet become faster..
Atalanta, who stumbled for a moment, took a lower stance with the white spear. The sight of the blood flowing from the ears and soaking the chin and nape of the neck was fierce and unbearably beautiful..
“Whoo, whoo-”
As she caught her breath and gathered her mental strength, Atalanta's body gave off a faint glow. It is the ‘power of emptiness’ that strengthens physical ability and physical resistance..
What are the stats? Since you must have invested a lot in magical power, your strength and agility will be relatively low. He won't be my opponent who has the dragon slayer's seal and Hrunting..
After completing a short calculation that was almost a habit, I let out a sigh..
“Inhale!”
At the right time, Atalanta's trained body gently swayed..
The moment the abdominal muscles revealed through the torn clothes gently relaxed and then tightened again, the white window suddenly rotated inward..
It was a fairly clever spear move, but it fell far short of Sir Ankir's tenacious binding or Lord Langbolt's deliberate but unblockable stabbing..
Kagagak!
Hrunting, a unique one-handed sword, and ‘White Thorn’, a unique long spear, were roughly entangled..
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!”
Atalanta tried to retreat with a defeated expression, but she could not shake off the bloody blade that was lashing out at her tongue ravenously..
Wait a moment for the red and white light to intersect. Kang! Hrunting's cross guard bounced the white thorns high into the sky..
“Lu, Alka-”
Atalanta is babbling with her arms outstretched. I just stuck the shield blade in my armpit..
bang!
“gasp,”
The faint light surrounding her body shattered and Atalanta fell backwards. For a moment, he rolled over on the ground and lifted himself up with movements like a leopard..
“Kahak, ugh.!”
Atalanta, who was coughing harshly, opened her eyes when she saw me approaching right in front of her nose. The bright red blade extended about a span and rushed towards the neck covered in sweat and dirt..
“Off-”
Facing the blade, Atalanta gathered the last of her mental strength. The sparkle that explodes from the eyes.
As soon as I saw the brilliance, I twisted my waist and retrieved Hrunting. At the same time, Atalanta's entire body was surrounded by a purple membrane..
Wow.
It was the ‘Shield of the Void’, an elastic shield that bounces attacking enemies tens of meters away..
I looked at that strange curtain of brilliance and counted in my mind..
one.
“flaw.”
Familiar Timing Calculations.
I somehow feel nostalgic. It was the same feeling I felt every time I killed hundreds, maybe even a thousand, of Arcane Hunter characters..
two.
Should I just kill him??
……No, no. These days, it's pretty easy to live with. Eating gourmet food on a full stomach can be a bad habit.
I stepped my left foot deep next to Atalanta, twisted my waist and pulled out my right foot..
three.
As soon as the curtain lifted, a solid shin guard was embedded in Atalanta's side..
Sigh!
“Shut up!”
Atalanta slumped forward as if shriveled. Before her face fell to the floor, I reached out and grabbed a strand of hair that had lost its luster..
He thrust Hrunting at his face, which was covered in blood, spit, and tears..
“Shut up, shut up-”
Mouth wide open and drooling. The moment I felt like inserting a knife into it, the red filter in front of my eyes was removed..
“Whoa whoa.,,
Hot breath. I withdrew my blade and punched out my fist..
Bodies are burned in shallow pits dug near the three-way intersection. Perhaps because it uses mana as fuel, the flames soar even without any special firewood..
Ute Kwai watched quietly as he chewed the dry food. Ute Kwai was well aware that the vengeful spirits who believed in pagan gods did not want to see him off, so he simply prayed for the rest of his soul with his eyes. Calm Jenessa and archer Kol were treating captured Nudein warriors. The only treatment I could get was to stop the bleeding and put a splint on it, but somehow I was able to keep it alive..
On one side, all kinds of equipment collected from corpses are piled up. Stedman and Muldae Budi rummaged through it for a while and found useful items or clues..
While I was watching the scenery sitting on a low hill, the leader Amias approached me..
“It's Uncle Joe's gang..”
“……article? It seems like a name I've heard before..”
“You may have seen it on the hunting festival bulletin board. I heard they are mercenaries who mainly operate in Multingham..”
‘Multingham is a city considered the capital of the Marva region..
“He's from this area.?”
“yes.”
“If you can put your name on the bulletin board, your skills are pretty good..”
“Uncle Joe was the Count's sergeant. Most of the rest were soldiers..”
“count? what kind of count?”
“Well, since you said he was from Multingham, maybe he's Count Tristan??”
As I quietly narrowed my eyes, Amias added,.
“I think it would be best to hurry up and inform the lord..”
“why?’’
“Why? You caught the guys who were tailgating. I might get a prize for something.”
“……well. First, search some more..”
After sending Amias away, I looked back at Ellen next to me..
He was looking at the glass bottles and their contents that the mercenaries had collected earlier..
“I get it.?”
Ellen, who had put the mortar and deerskin gloves back into her sling bag, hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth..
“This is a potion of blur.”
“••••••what?”
‘'Potion of Blur' is a backwards compatible product of 'Potion of Invisibility'. Once you drink it, it is assimilated into the surrounding environment and difficult to recognize, but it is difficult to use because the effect wears off as soon as you move..
“That's what the mercenaries had. It means it's true that we were ambushed.?”
“……maybe.”
I let out a sigh of relief without realizing it. This is because I realized that my sub character, Atalanta, is not a young villain..
“But why is your expression dark??”
“……no, just.”
“just?”
Ellen closed her mouth and slowly turned her head. Hmm, somehow I feel like I know how he feels..
“ Ellen.”
“ huh?”
“Come to work.”
As I grinned and patted the seat next to me, Ellen frowned slightly..
“what. why suddenly.”
“Come quickly, when I say nice things.”
“What if I don’t say nice things??”
“Seup, it bounces again.”
Ellen pouted her lips for a moment, then flew gently and landed next to me. I quietly looked down at his face and suddenly opened my mouth..
“ Should I hug you??”
“what?”
“The distraught expression on his face made me want to be hugged. Should I hug you??”
Ellen's face turned bright red at my unexpected words and she paused for a moment..
“……What are you talking about, you crazy person?.”
“okay? Don't hate it.”
“This is the last time. Should I hug you??”
The guy pursed his lips for a while and finally nodded slightly..
“Aww, cute guy.”
I hugged Ellen’s shoulder and brushed her soft hair. He clenched his fists and leaned his head on my chest..
“thank god.”
“......uh?”
“Thank goodness. “I reflected on it even though it was late.” Ellen is more gentle-hearted than she looks, and if you get to know her, she is a kind person. The reason he had a distraught expression until just now was probably because he was bothered by the harsh words he had given to Atalanta due to his prejudice against the Nude people..
“••••••reflection?”
“huh. Thank you so much for telling me about the potion. If you had kept your mouth shut, they all would have been hanged..”
Ellen quietly wrung her fingers. I brushed Ellen’s hair a couple more times, then!
“Wow!”
I suddenly put him in a headlock..
“Instead, yo, yo, mouth.”
“Whoop whoop-”
I squeezed Ellen's lips and shook her a couple of times. He waved his arms wildly, pushed me and screamed..
“What are you doing, you idiot?!”
“How many times do I tell you to speak nicely? How long will it be like that??”
“what do i do!”
“Don't talk about burning people alive or anything like that..”
“I said I would speak with my mouth, why?!”
“I told you last time, I'm worried. So what are you going to do if you incur a grudge for no reason? There are so many crazy people in the world.”
“See.”
Ellen sighed softly and wiped her mouth with her sleeve. Then, with its wings shining, it floated and returned to its original position..
Then, while grinning and rummaging through the scattered glass bottles, he muttered 'Eui' and turned around to look at me..
“You can't tell the security..”
“ok? What are you talking about suddenly??”
“I mixed a boggart's beard with an invisible moth cocoon..”
“……why is that?”
“It's a pretty tricky recipe that allows you to make a potion with few side effects using cheap ingredients. Bogart's beard is a difficult material to work with..”
The guy continued talking as he packed several glass bottles into his sling bag..
“Also, Master Casswright is the second best alchemist I've ever seen in using a boggart beard..”
“……Master Casswright? Territory Wizard of Longville?”
“It could be a crazy coincidence, but there's no need to gamble.?”
It's mercenaries from this area and the suspicious potion they were carrying. This is quite a pain in the ass.…….
By the time I slowly gathered my thoughts,
“Uh, uh-! woke up!”
Freckled Mummy screamed..
I quickly got up and went over to Mira. She was aiming her sword at Atalanta, who was tightly bound..
“ It happened?”
“It moved, just now.”
I pulled out Hrunting and approached Atalanta. Atalanta, who had a cloth over her head, must have sensed a presence and shrank her neck in shock..
“Atilia.”
“You, Nyx?” “I’ll take off your blindfold. Instead, I'll stab you the moment you do something stupid. okay?”
With a quiet nod, I took off the cloth..
W ah ah
Atalanta furrowed her brows as the sun set towards the west and glared at her eyes. She blinked for a moment before looking at me squatting in front of her..
Atalanta then noticed the pure white blade hanging around her neck and smiled bitterly..
“……I got hit.”
“What did you ‘get’? He rolled his eyes and attacked me and smeared me..”
I continued speaking with a bitter smile on my face..
“If I had just had a little patience, this wouldn't have happened..”
“ patience‘?”
“okay. Our wizard discovered a potion of obscurity..”
“……A potion of blur? how to do that.”
Atalanta made a blank expression. I didn't expect that magical traces could be found so easily..
“I feel fortunate. Ellen is skilled in alchemy..”
“Anyway, I think they drank it and set up an ambush..”
“……Well, then you trust us now.?”
I snorted slightly..
“What to believe. How can you trust someone who starts a fight without any intention of persuading you??”
“Ha, persuasion? When do people start doubting that they are Nude people?.”
“Well, racism is a bad thing too. But that doesn't justify your trying to silence me..”
“......milanole.”
Atalanta is babbling and looking up at me with fierce eyes..
Ugh, the atmosphere shouldn't go like this..
“Hey, can you lighten up your expression? If you show up with this attitude, we can't have a good conversation..”
“What does it mean??”
“It means that I will spare your life if you are someone I can communicate with..”
“……I am a warrior in the wilderness. Even if I die, I won't become a slave.”
Determination is evident in his tone of voice. Why does it feel like I've become a bad guy?.
“Oh, I see. But I have no intention of making you a slave.?”
“……then what do you want?”
“If I want something, can you give it to me? From what I heard from your friends, you don't have much..”
Atalanta hesitated for a moment and then opened her mouth..
“I'll give you money.”
“ how much?”
“……200 silver coins.”
“It's quite expensive for four people. However, that money should be used as winter expenses for your clan.?”
Atalanta glanced at her companions. 'You even said that?' That expression made me burst into laughter..
“Don't be like that. kill them
He said it was okay to lose everything he had, so he begged for your life to be spared..”
“And, I don't need much money. Part of me wants to get points for the hunting festival, but points can't be exchanged.……
“then?”
I looked into Atalanta's eyes..
Vision Hunter Atalanta. This is probably my sub character that was raised for farming and then forgotten..
Will Atalanta be Ellen, Utequoi, or Luke? I don't know now.
Golden eyes stained by sunlight were quietly looking up at me. Eyes that look quite emotionless, half resolute and half earnest..
I smile without even realizing it.
“I'll just let you go.”
“just?”
“uh. Well, the fight was due to a misunderstanding, and no one was seriously hurt. Let’s say I did him a favor worth 200 silver coins.” Suspicion seeps into your complex eyes..
“favor?”
“huh. I hate that kind of thing?”
“……Why are you doing us a favor??”
“I feel like you and I are in roughly the same situation..”
Atalanta quietly frowned. I scratched my eyebrows and continued speaking..
“Actually, I happened to incur some hatred from the lord..”
“……permanent residence? We have no hard feelings towards you..”
“There are no hard feelings. I think the lord will like you?”
“……Speaking of hunting festivals, that's definitely the Lord's,”
“Don't be naive, Atilia..”
Baron Mallory, the lord of Longville, held this hunting festival and offered several prizes. The greatest gift among them was the right to nominate the Baron's adopted child, and the closest thing to that right at present was none other than Atalanta..
“Since the idea of handing over the territory to strangers seems suspicious, I will hand over the land to you who have different ethnicities and cultures.
Do you understand??”
When Atalanta remained silent with a stern expression, I also told her about the potion the mercenaries used. About Bogart's beard and Master Casswright..
“……It means it could be the lord's doing.?”
“Just a guess, so far.”
.......chati, lil shay'an?”
“What do you keep saying??”
“no. “It’s nothing.” Atalanta, who had been keeping her head down, let out a sigh and then raised her head..
“If you do me a favor, I will be grateful. If you let me go, I will never point a spear at you again..”
“Okay, I'll release it in a moment. Amias! Release your friends too.!”
Atalanta, who had been freed from her captivity, staggered to her feet and received a water bag from me. Then, after swishing his mouth a couple of times, he took a few sips of water and sprinkled water over his head to wipe off the blood and dust..
Honestly, I almost lost my mind..
The sight of a cool stream of water flowing down the bridge of your nose, falling onto your chest, and then along the texture of your abs is as impressive as the Rhine Falls I saw in Germany... … No, what kind of bullshit am I talking about?.
“Well, thank you..”
“……Uh, uh.”
When I received the water bag and retreated, Atalanta joined the Nudein warriors. She glanced at the bandages, splints, and cloths wrapped around her colleagues' bodies, and then looked at me..
I shrugged my shoulders, trying to look calm..
“Um, I have more business to do.?”
“••••♦♦no.”
“okay. bye.”
“This is the end?”
“then? Um, I'd like to give you a goodbye hug?”
As I said something, Atalanta, who had a strange look in her eyes, smiled..
“Nothing bad.”
“ huh?”
Atalanta snuggled into my arms with a very natural gesture and wrapped her arms around my neck..
“Me, me, crazy-”
A startled voice came from somewhere, but I couldn't pay attention because of Atalanta clinging to Batuu..
“Madyan 'ahyua, frais walasim.”
Soft whispers, tickling breath, moist hair.
“Uh, uh?”
While I was stuttering, Atalanta smiled and walked away to join her colleagues. Then, out of the three paths, I turned towards the mountain lodge..
‘Madyan Awhia, Price Walasim.’
My quiet chanting continued until Ellen flew in and strangled me..
