Chapter 183
My Villains Episode 183
43. struggling(3)
As I lie down in the red rain, the smell of blood somehow feels disgusting..
……Hmm, that's strange. Was he full because he drank Hayla's blood??
No, no. It's probably because we've been repeating battles and killings so much that it's been boring for a while..
The setting sun, cool autumn breeze, lukewarm blood, and silence..
I quietly closed my eyes and then suddenly got up. Atalanta, who is next to her, as well as Ellen and Heyla, are also injured. I can't be lost like this.
I ran to Ellen, who had fallen under the rubble of the gateway, and looked at her. There seemed to be no major injuries except for a bruise on her forearm and a slight scratch on her calf. Still, you might hurt your head, so be careful..
As I slowly picked him up, his long eyelashes crossed and his eyes opened. I thought Ellen would be surprised, so I quickly absorbed the blood all over my body..
“……Umm, uh?”
The guy lost focus for a moment, then looked up at me with a blank expression on his face. As the large wall blinked several times, I looked at Ellen and smiled..
“••••••trunnion?”
“Yes, it's me. my body is fine?”
As soon as I finished speaking, he was thrown into my arms. A body as soft as if it had no bones hangs delicately..
“Me, it's so dark and suffocating, and she takes you away, and you, I don't know anything-”
Ellen buried her face in my neck and started talking nonsense. Did you have a nightmare while you were passed out??
I gently patted his back, and he caught his breath and straightened his upper body..
And then he looked up at me. I felt the hand holding my neck tighten..
……Why is he like this??
“Do you have a headache? Didn't I hit something while rolling?-”
The conversation couldn't continue until the end.
This is because Ellen, who closed her eyes tightly and pouted her lips, pulled me by the neck and suddenly hit me on the lips..
“What are you doing all of a sudden?,”
I couldn't speak because his lips were pressing down on my front teeth..
Soft lips, sweet breath, and refreshing lime scent pounded my heart..
Ugh, Seungsu Kim, wake up! You can't do this!
I screamed in my head and pulled Ellen away..
“Well, wait a minute. Isn't now the time for this? Later, when things settle down, no, I mean-”
Even though he was talking nonsense like that, the guy had a blank expression on his face..
“Uh uh.”
For a moment, the white skin with visible veins turned bright red, as if it had been burned. As a beautiful blush quickly spread to her neck and ears, Ellen suddenly closed her eyes and collapsed, burying her face in my arms..
“Ellen. Ellen?”
I shook his shoulder a few times, but there was no reaction from him..
Why is he really like this? Are you seriously injured??
Out of urgency, I placed my palm on his back and cheered him up. Anyone else may know this, but there is no expert on Ellen's body like me. For nearly 4 months, I have been doing scans all the time using blood angiography..

Unnatural breathing, occasional twitching of fingertips, stiff back and blood rushing to the face..
I was able to quickly understand Ellen's condition..
The guy…….
“••••••Ugh.”
I was pretending to faint.
I tried to suppress my laughter and walked away..
As the three women were lying side by side under the remains of the gate, Amias and Steedman appeared with a group of soldiers..
They saw red streams flowing everywhere and approached cautiously with pale faces..
Stylish Steedman brought Heyla's black horse, and found three bottles of wound healing potion in the saddle..
Since Kol was said to be in critical condition, they sent him a bottle of potion and decided to use the remaining two bottles to treat Heyla and Atalanta..
“Wait a minute, Poynix. Are you saying you will treat them both??”
Leader Amias had a very ambiguous face..
“Why, what's the problem??”
“It was Atilia who blew up this gateway here. Ha Tanka was seriously injured while trying to stop her..”
“……Utequoi? Where are you now??”
“You are at church. From what I heard, it won't be in danger to your life..”
Well, it looks like the 'Seal of Predation' couldn't be used because there were only human corpses around..
In the game, regardless of whether they were monsters or humans, they ate the hearts of everyone to recover their stamina and receive buffs..
But the real Ute Kwai did not do that. Is it for religious reasons??
“Not only Mr. Hatanka but also many soldiers were killed or injured. Well, Multingham County suffered more damage..”
« o ugh '' — W •
“And Heyla, no, Miss Heyla kidnapped Ellen and almost killed Cole. “But you treated those two beautifully?” Amias, who was talking in a slightly excited tone, scratched the tip of his nose as if something suddenly occurred to him and added..
“Of course, Lady Hayla is Poynix's fiancée, and we owe her our lives. Atilia also saved Phoenics once..”
Amias continued speaking with a calm expression..
“But it's too dangerous. Aren't they superhumans who can turn hundreds of soldiers into blood clots in the blink of an eye? You need to be a little more careful.”
Hmm, that's definitely true..
Even though I was worried, I first sprinkled some of the potion on Hayla's stomach. Aside from both my wrists and ankles, my stomach, which was torn by Hrunting, was a problem and I felt like I was going to end up in hell if I didn't get treatment right away..
At that time, Ellen, who was lying next to her, wriggled and raised her upper body..
“Umm. where is this?”
……It's like you're reading a Korean language book..
As I was trying to suppress the laughter that was about to burst out, the guy stretched out in an awkward motion and stood up..
“Uh, um. I guess I used a lot of mana and fainted for a while.……
Ellen's cheeks were still blooming with bright red flowers..
Ugh, you should just be quiet. You're cute so I look at you when you cry.
Ellen, who was acting appropriately, immediately expressed her opinion..
“The disposition of the two must be decided very carefully..”
Honestly, I was a little surprised by what he said. I thought both Hela and Atalanta would want to kill them right away..
Ellen, whose lips were trembling, took a small breath and opened her mouth again..
“Hayla... … . If you kill them carelessly, something beyond your control may happen..”
“Something I can't handle?”
He glanced at the soldiers around him and lowered his voice..
“Hayla's brother might raise an army to avenge his sister..”
Ah, yes.
Hayla is the younger sister of Caisis of Baluin, the current Duke of Eyland..
I scratched my eyebrows and opened my mouth..
“But I can't just let it go. Because his abilities and personality are so dangerous, he will face repercussions in many ways..”
“So, let's hold him prisoner..”
“captivity?”
“huh. Then, we can prevent the army from coming, and by suppressing Heila’s magical power, we can prevent any further troubles.” Suddenly, a famous line from ‘The Godfather’ comes to mind..
‘Friends close, enemies closer.’
Sounds like a good plan…….
“I'll have to keep making magic suppression potions, but it's possible.?”
“That's not a problem... … Well, it might cost a lot of money..”
Amias, who had been quietly retreating, suddenly intervened..
“If it's money, you don't have to worry.”
“…… what'?" “Because the captive is extremely rich.” Amias lifted the black horse's saddle and revealed bags full of gold coins and jewels. Ellen roughly estimated the amount and shrugged her shoulders..
“……I think that's enough.”
After coming to that conclusion, he looked back at Atalanta..
Did I remember something? Ellen's blue eyes wavered for a moment..
“Phew. Atilia is probably,”
Just as he was about to say something, a group of men came running from the west..
“••••••what?”
“Be on alert! You tell Master Chester that the cavalry is approaching!”
The soldiers became busy at Amias's command. However, before the reinforcements from Longville could arrive, about thirty warriors on horseback approached..
Well, I'm not really nervous. At first glance, they don't look like knights..
I stepped forward with my hand on Hrunting's pummel..
The warriors on horseback had red cloth wrapped around their foreheads and were decorated here and there with iron rings. They usually carried spears and wore curved swords when dancing around their waists..
In short, it was a typical Nude people outfit..
And, the middle-aged man who rode ahead of them had a very familiar look..
«o Ugh2”
“……Poynix, sir.?”
When I had a party with Atalanta the other day, she brought two of the clan's best warriors..
Vittorio, who wielded a long spear, died in a dimensional rift, and Agos, who wielded a long bow, returned safely to his clan..
The middle-aged man who appeared before me leading the warriors was none other than Agoth..
«Ugh W
Agos noticed me and swallowed dryly. When he slowly raised his hand, the warriors following him lowered their raised weapons while making puzzled expressions..
Agos lightly lifted the reins and stepped forward a little further..
“Ellen and Amias were also there. Cole, is he here too??”
In front of Agos, who was scornful, I tapped the pummel and then asked directly:.
“Have you come to save Atilia??”
“no?”
“……That's right, sir.”
“We know what Atilia did.?”
When I pointed backwards with my thumb, Agos had a dark look on his face as he discovered the remains of the gate..
“yes. I watched from afar.”
After a moment of humiliation on his face, Agos opened his mouth again..
“But sir. Lady Atilia did not move of her own will..”
“……what?”
“It's because of the gold pendant. It is the tool used by the elders to restrain Atilia..”
“From what I've seen, it doesn't seem like it would be enough to cause people to be slaughtered even with that pendant..”
“……Have you seen the gold pendant??”
“Well, it just so happened. But, I guess that’s not what’s important right now..”
“okay.”
Agos shook his head and found it difficult to speak..
“This is the atrocity of the elder Dell Auto..”
“Dell Auto?”
“yes. He boasted that he would destroy the gateway to appease the anger of Prince Doyle, Count Tristan's second son..”
“……That actually happened.”
“It wasn't what Lady Atilia wanted to do. Del Otto used a strange magic trick to forcibly awaken Lady Atilia..”
“awakening?”
“It's a crazy thing that opens a portal to the void in your head. As proof, you must have opened your third eye, but didn't you see it??”
When I glanced back, Ellen quietly nodded..
“……that's right. The power of vision was unleashed beyond its limits..”
“Atilia was pouring most of her mental energy into maintaining the passage, so much so that she was almost half asleep. It was impossible to refuse the orders given by the person holding the pendant..”
I let out a small sigh at Agos' explanation..
“So, please return Atilia since she is not guilty of anything.?”
“…… How can you say there is nothing wrong with you? Although she was manipulated by the elders, she is a warrior of the Al Qadari clan. “You can’t escape the responsibility of your clan.” He said that and got off his horse. Then he took a couple of steps forward and fell down..
“……What are you doing??”
“I beg for mercy, Lord Poynix..”
About 30 Nude warriors who followed Agos also dismounted from their horses and bowed..
“She is the child of a demigod and the daughter of a prophecy that will save the Nudein people. Please give our people mercy and grace..”
......Hey. Why are you doing this so burdensomely?.
“Haha, even if I give Atilia back to you, there's no way she won't become a puppet for the elders again.?”
“……It could be so..”
Agos slowly raised his head and looked up at me..
“However, Lady Atilia has already been forcibly awakened and cannot continue her life without the help of the elders..”
“……what? what does that mean?”
“It's just as you heard. Lady Atilia must return to Asun or she will be swallowed up by the void. Doing so will also cause harm to the Lord..”
Ha, this got really nasty..
How does it feel to be a social worker who has to return abused children to their homes?.
I looked back at Ellen..
“what do you think?”
The guy held his hands together for a moment and fiddled with his fingers. When I looked closely, I saw that what I was fiddling with was a small handkerchief woven from silk..
“••••••send.”
“what?”
“Let's send it.”
Ellen looked up..
“If that woman is swallowed by the void, she could turn into a monster. Now people are getting hurt……
The guy trailed off like that..
We waited for a while, but Ellen just kept fiddling with her silk handkerchief and didn't open her mouth any more..
……Judging by the look on your face, I think it would be better to leave it alone for a while..
I looked back at Agos and nodded..
He looked angry for a moment, then adjusted his expression and carefully supported Atalanta with three or four other warriors and placed her on a horse..
“Thank you, Lord Poynix..”
“……Thank you. Attal, well, Atilia was a good friend to me too..”
“Thank you though.”
He turned his horse's head and suddenly pulled the reins..
“By any chance, would you like to convey this to Lady Atilia?
Do you have anything to say??”
“……What to say?”
“yes. For some reason, I feel like I should ask..”
I was silent for a moment and then smiled..
When I said a few words, Agos looked at me quietly and then lowered his head..
“I will tell you. then.”
Led by Agos, who carried Atalanta in the saddle, the Nudean warriors made a wide circle around the farmland and headed west..
I suddenly looked up at the sky.
green autumn.
It was a season of peace.
