My Villains Episode 167

41. blood knight(4)

Guooooh!

Just as the descendants of the evil god who appeared in Middle Earth were cheering, the party was blocked by a group of humans and horses..

‘this.' Amias, who had been tempted to look back by the ominous voice, quickly turned his head back to its original position..

The riders in front were just looking down at the group with cold eyes, as if they were not surprised by the sound..

“......O ugh”

—

Amias felt numb..

In his opinion, having served as a soldier for several years, the riders lined up in front of the group were extremely dangerous..

A jet black war horse and heavy armament, a large physique and stable posture, tightly closed lips and sharp eyes.…….

‘They are knights. It's definitely true.’

I don't know if all eight horsemen were knights, but the three wearing strange plate armor definitely seemed like knights..

‘What the hell are these guys??’

The riders who appeared out of nowhere and blocked the path ahead were looking down at the group without saying a word. Amias felt a bit creepy and took a deep breath..

“Phew.”

He took a step forward, overcoming the burden of responsibility on his chest..

“Well, who are you to block the way??”

Amias praised himself in his heart. I thought it was just the right level of greeting to deal with a knight, neither too rude nor too servile..

But when the eight horsemen remained silent, that thought wavered a little..

‘……Did it sound a little cheesy??’

While Amias was sweating like that, Siren, who had defeated Ethan's support, limped forward..

“Looking at the emblem, it looks like you are from the duchy of Raz'il. Do you have any business??”

Silence followed.

However, Simos, Mira, and Kol, who have a good sense of humor, noticed that this silence was a little different from before..

Simos and Mira grasped the handle of the sword at his waist, and Kol secretly fumbled for his quiver of arrows..

The riders looked down at this and remained silent..

Then the three riders with scale-embossed Full Helms, one of whom Amias was sure were knights, turned their heads to the side..

“miss?”

His gaze turned to the back of the riders..

There was a woman there.

“……her.”

Only then did the group discover the woman and open their mouths, forgetting the situation..

Many, Many, Many.

The woman took the reins and approached the group..

A thick satin cloak with a large ruby ​​brooch attached to it, a vest with four or five golden buttons, a high-quality saddle with a leaf pattern engraved on it, and subtly shiny black leather pants.…….

Things like that didn't even catch my eye..

This is because the long black hair, white skin, and red lips violently attract attention..

“hi.”

Although the seven pairs of gazes might have been burdensome, the woman remained calm. It is an indifference created by a lifetime of experience combined with an innate character..

Her pitch-black eyes rested on Utequoi on the stretcher, and then drifted to Ellen, where the mummy lay at her feet..

“red bear and fire witch.”

Amias, who had been captivated by the bright red, plump lips, shook his shoulders and asked back when the woman's eyes turned to him..

“••••••Uh, yeah?”

“Red Bear and Fire Witch. That's right?”

“Ah, yes. “No, that,” Amias stammered, while the woman blinked quietly. She waited quietly until the other person came to his senses..

“Who are you, no, miss??”

Of course, waiting did not mean consideration..

“Where is the bloody prosecutor??”

“yes?" “I mean Phoenix. where are you?”

“that......

Amias, who suddenly became wary, shook his head, straining his stomach..

“I'm sorry, but please tell me who you are..”

silence again.

However, this silence was different from before, even to the oblivious Ami Asna Steedman..

The riders' eyes grew bright with anticipation. It wasn't a big change, but the impressions were so colorless that even small changes were easily noticeable..

The person who broke the tense silence was neither the nervous Amias nor the silent beauty.

was.

“Umm.”

““Oh, Ellen!” Ellen frowned and groaned for a moment before slowly opening her eyes. Then he suddenly raised his upper body..

“here, here.”

“Ellen. calm down.”

Kol got down on one knee and lowered his voice to a whisper..

“This is a dangerous situation.”

Ellen quickly glanced around and regained focus in her eyes..

“Poi is?”

“I went to look for Mr. Janabas and Mr. Moongchi..”

“……I came to my senses?”

“yes. You're fine..”

Blue eyes twinkled for a moment.

“……My wand and crystal ball?”

“The wand is here. I couldn't take the crystal ball because I was busy..”

After receiving the wand, Ellen quietly traced her left ear. The feather decoration that allowed her to fly had disappeared somewhere, and only bitter scars remained..

Ellen stood up with a calm expression on her face..

Meanwhile, the riders just stood there dumbfounded. The woman standing in front of the riders looked down at Ellen and opened her mouth..

“hi.”

“you are the fire witch?”

Ellen quietly brushed her hair. The drops of blood that splattered on the left side of my face had dried before I knew it..

“……what are you?”

The woman blinked for a moment and answered with an expressionless face..

“Say hello to me.”

“ safety?”

“huh. Daria.”

“what?”

Ellen stiffened as if struck by lightning..

“what is that.”

For a moment, with her eyes open, the magic power spread out around her. The eyes sparkle blue.

“……What are you doing, you bitch?.”

“I came looking for Poi..”

“poi？”

“huh.”

Huh.

Ellen's enormous magical power swirled everywhere. A blatant and violent flow of magic power.

The war horses cried out and struggled. The riders pulled the reins with expressionless faces..

Meanwhile, the black-haired woman still had a peaceful face. Her words were the same too.

‘••••••This is?’

Ellen, who was preparing a spell with her mind together, suddenly became shocked. This is because the woman in front has unleashed magic power that is equal to, or even greater than, her own..

The woman who had been quietly blinking suddenly opened her mouth. Words that Ellen had never expected came out of her red lips..

“She's Poi's fiancee..”

“……what?" “You asked. Who am I? Ellen's face became cold at those leisurely words..

coo coo coo-

The two women's gazes crossed, and the air dropped. Enormous magical powers touched their foreheads together..

“Poi's fiancee? you?”

“that's right.”

Following a simple question and answer, life was added to the whirlwind of magical power..

Amias was caught in the gap, his face turning pale..

‘……Could it be that I made a mistake?' While he swallowed dryly, Cole adjusted his grip and glanced quickly at the riders..

‘Twelve or thirteen steps. If you shoot that female noblewoman's horse, knock it down and take it hostage.……

It didn't seem easy.

The woman's relaxed attitude, powerful magical power, and the sharp gaze of the riders made me cringe..

‘So close. Ellen alone can't handle them..’

Out of the corner of his eye, Cole looked at U Te Kwai, who was lying on a stretcher. It wasn't as stern as it seemed, but it didn't look like he was going to wake up any time soon..

The group's eyes were busy, and the standoff continued for a moment..

It was then.

A large ball rolled down from a hill far away..

Guooooh!

no, it wasn't a ball.

All kinds of animals, including dogs, cows, pigs, and rats, were crawling together, with only the upper body remaining..

They were dragging their heavy bodies and waving their arms constantly. They were pushing, pulling, and trampling each other, rolling around as one mass..

The riders immediately took out their shields and weapons from their saddles. Four held jousting spears, two held flails, and two held long cleavers..

A man armed with a full helm, heavy plate armor, a heater shield, and a cleaver approached the woman..

“miss?”

The woman watched Ushtu's household and opened her mouth..

“Take care of those first..”

“Then the interest,”

“I will protect it.”

He was silent for a moment, then pulled the reins..

“All right.”

When the man went off course, the other riders followed him..

The eight riders drove their horses in a gentle detour through the grass. Then he rushed towards the relatives coming down the slope. There were no slogans, no prayers, no cursing, no shouting that is customary just before battle..

Cole, who was watching them, let out an involuntary exclamation..

“That one-”

What caught his eye was the weapons held by the three leading riders. One cleaver and two jousting spears were covered in dark red blood..

“They are blood knights..”

Wizard Siren muttered in disbelief..

““I was wondering if you’d meet the Blood Knights of Raz Il in a place like this,” she said, her eyes widening for a moment and looking back at Ellen..

“Ellen, I'm sure it's phoenix hardness.-”

At that moment, the horsemen, led by the three blood knights, collided with the group of subordinates..

bang!

The jousting spear pierced the neck, the flail broke the skull, and the cleaver tore the body to pieces..

Black, sticky body fluid splattered everywhere. Neither horses nor armor were a blemish on the pitch-black blood knights..

Gooooo-! As the subordinates roared and charged, the riders skillfully held on to the reins..

They did not confront the beasts head on. I rode at an angle with them on my right. Then he crushed the edges like peeling a fruit..

Ushtu's subordinates showed great strength commensurate with their massive size, and were so grotesquely ferocious that they attacked without even caring for themselves. However, because he could not keep up with the riders' agile movements, he collapsed helplessly, exploding bodily fluids..

Of course, the riders were not without sacrifices either..

Guuwak!

A dog-like beast threw itself and grabbed a horse. These were the words of the rider who was following at the rear..

Hehehehe-

As the horse with its neck bitten slowed down, other animals caught up..

In the end, the horse fell violently, and the rider riding it also rolled to the ground. He was a young squire who must have been twenty years old..

“Phew-”

The squire did not ask for help. He took a breath and pulled the sword from his belt..

His colleagues didn't look back either. All he did was nimbly drive his horse and kill his subordinates..

Steedman, who was watching the scene, unconsciously opened his mouth..

“……what is that.”

He recalled the war of ants he had seen as a child..

Ants do not scream, ask for mercy from their enemies, or mourn the death of their comrades. I don't know what it was like in reality, but at least that's how Steedman saw it..

The seed that fell behind was quickly buried by animals..

«Wow

He swung his sword until the last moment and felled two more bull-sized animals. It was a heroic struggle.

“eww-”

Resistance did not last long.

The young squire, who would have been a great knight, was torn off limb by limb and disappeared into the belly of the animals. That was it..

“As expected, they are as terrible as I heard..”

Siren, whose face became pale, hesitated and then turned his head in surprise. The woman who was part of the horsemen's group was still nearby..

The woman did not even look at Siren. She slowly dismounted and handed the reins to Steedman..

“Please take care of it for a while.”

“yes?”

Steedman, who had been handed the reins in a haphazard manner, looked up blankly at the woman. When I looked again, I saw that she was quite tall. Compared to Steedman, who was teased by the freckled mummy for being pudgy, he was about a size taller..

The woman rummaged through the saddle and took out three glass bottles. When the mummy saw the bottles, she made a loud noise..

“Ugh, that one-”

Mira opened and closed her mouth, but no one knew what that sticky red liquid was..

The woman handed two of the three bottles she took out to Ah Mias..

“••••♦•This is,”

“It's a wound healing potion. Split it up.”

“No, I wasn't asking what this was.,”

Cole stopped Amias, who was speaking gibberish, with a look. He took a potion and went straight to Utequai..

“ ah.”

Amias finally came to his senses and looked back at Genessa. Then he made a strange expression..

This is because the noblewoman, who had already approached Genessa, immediately pulled out the crossbow stuck in her chest..

“Hmm-”

“Jenessa!”

When Jenessa let out a sound of air, Amias was shocked and shouted..

“Holy shit, what the hell are you doing?!”

The woman ignored the question and extended her hand forward..

““Uh-huh.” Someone made a threatening noise. Because blood flowed backwards from Genessa's wound..

“Mr. Geese-”

When Amias huffed as if he was going to attack at any moment, Siren stopped him..

“wait a minute.”

“Get out of the way, that bitch sucks Jenessa's blood.!”

“That's true, but it's not like that..”

“What kind of nonsense is that??”

The blood welled up into a small clump on the woman's left hand. It was like a large skein of thread..

“I drained the blood from my lungs..”

“what‘?”

The woman answered as she opened the glass bottle..

“If you use the potion while leaving blood in your lungs, you will suffer for the rest of your life. It'll be okay now.”

“……Uh, like that.”

She poured some of the potion on the wound. Next, he held up the back of Jenessa's head and made her take a few sips..

“ O ugh” —

Amias looked shocked when he saw that Genessa's breathing had returned..

“what……

While he was thinking about what to say, Ellen, who had been quiet, suddenly opened her mouth..

“……What kind of masterpiece is this??”

The woman was slowly rolling a ball of blood in the air. A bead slightly smaller than an egg rotated diligently..

“answer me.”

The woman looked at the battle taking place in the distance and then turned her head towards Ellen..

“ what?”

“You act like you're going to attack me at any moment and then suddenly give me a potion? What on earth are we going to do??”

Ellen shot the ball like that while carefully observing the beads of blood..

As she has been living with Phoenix for a long time, she has gained a deeper understanding of blood magic, which she had only learned from books..

Thanks to that, I knew very well that although the beads that the woman made may look like nothing special on the outside, they are actually a very advanced technique..

‘How can you control someone else's blood and levitate it in the air like that? Aside from the amount of magical power, the ability to control blood is on a different level from Phoenix..’

Perhaps knowing that Ellen was nervous, the woman blinked her eyes a couple of times before opening her mouth..

“That's natural. I didn't know who you were before, and I don't know now..”

“What do you know?”

“You guys are Poi's friends..”

“••••••what?”

“why? no?”

“no……

Looking at Ellen, who was speechless, the woman leisurely added,.

“It's not unusual to help your husband-to-be's friends..”

“……Well, that's- ha.”

Ellen, who had been gaping at me, just burst into laughter, and the woman's head tilted slightly..

Although her face was still expressionless, Ellen somehow felt like she was laughing at herself..

At that moment, Ellen was overcome with an unknown sense of anxiety..

‘……Really, you're Foy's fiancée? I didn't hear anything like that. But if it's real.’

After quietly watching Ellen's expression change moment by moment, the woman turned her head toward the north..

Eight, no, now seven, riders were struggling. The evil god's descendants, whose numbers have been reduced by more than half, seem to have changed their goal and are rushing in this direction, ignoring the riders' attacks.

there was.

The woman who was quietly watching the scene took out something from inside her vest..

What appeared along with the leisurely movements was a pair of black velvet gloves. She divided the gloves between both hands and suddenly looked back at Siren..

“By the way, you.”

“yes?”

“There was a lot of talk.”

“……What do you mean by that?,”

The back of the glove had a small pattern embroidered on it. The five white diamonds gathered toward the center looked like white flowers in bloom..

“I want to maintain a good relationship with Poi's friends.”

The left hand, wearing a black glove, drew a small circle. Egg-sized beads of blood spread in an instant..

“But I'm not confident that I can build a good relationship with a chatterbox who starts talking everywhere..”

The blood spread thinly and spread across the woman's back. It looks like a curtain, a cloak, or-

“how about you?”

It was like wings.

A woman covered in dark red blood stared at Siren..

Jet-black eyes that evoke all kinds of imagination because they are empty, delve into the very deepest places.…….

“Ugh, sorry, sorry, never, never said anything.……

Seeing Siren shaking her chin, the woman turned to the others..

“You guys?”

Everyone lowered their eyes in front of the figure with outstretched wings. Only a pair of blue eyes were staring at the woman with the power to spit fire..

At that moment, the woman's mouth twitched ever so slightly..

The woman who was looking down at Ellen made a snort and suddenly opened her mouth..

“My name is Hayla. Heila of Baluin.”

“Best wishes, Ellen.”

As soon as those words were finished, a dark red wave rushed towards the evil spirit's descendants..
