My Villains Episode 219
47. nightmare(1)
After that, things went smoothly..
The magician, who was screaming that he was going to die, also received a cup of blood from Saitz, and Kelsen, who received it, poured the blood on the throne while chanting an incomprehensible spell..
For a moment, the white surface was stained with red blood. The blood disappeared as if seeping or evaporating..
“It's over.”
“……already? What did you do??”
“It's a simple ritual. He lied to the throne and said that his previous master, Saitz, was dead..”
“It's a trick.”
Come to think of it, Seitz said something similar. It is said that the Dark Knight Achillemnur cast a ‘spell that deceives reason’ on the throne. Is it a similar context??
Ellen, who was watching the ceremony with her arms crossed, suddenly asked a question..
“That's blood magic.?”
“……You know blood magic.?”
“ roughly.”
Ellen, who answered briefly, looked at Mibu, who was dressed in rags, as if asking him to answer. With the distrust filled in her blue eyes, Kelsene swallowed dry saliva and opened her mouth..
“Similar but a little different.”
“What's different??”
“Well, something between blood magic and blood magic, I guess you could say..”
“……Is that the end?” The answer must have been unsatisfactory, so he narrowed his eyes and glared at Kelsenne..
I looked at the two in turn, then scratched my eyebrows and asked Ellen..
“But what is blood magic??”
“……I don't know blood magic?”
“uh. First time hearing this. Is it different from blood magic??”
“no, you-”
Ellen, who was about to say something with a dumbfounded expression, glanced around and cleared her throat..
“Hmm. Blood magic is the supernatural ability to manipulate blood, and blood magic is literally magic. Magic that uses blood as a medium to complete a spell.”
“They use blood as a medium?”
“You've said it before. General magic is an act of begging for change in the world. I don't remember?”
“……I remembered. I said that when I was arguing with Ethan and Siren..”
“I wasn't arguing?”
Ellen pouted her lips and continued explaining..
“In order to manifest magic, ordinary wizards do not need enough spells and mana, so they even prepare bribes, and that bribe is the medium..”
I remember that Ethan and Siren used rune fragments or clay dolls every time they cast a spell..
“So, blood magic is using blood instead of rune pieces or clay dolls to perform magic.?”
“that's right. In the case of general magic, you need to prepare a different medium for each spell, but in blood magic, all spells can be performed using only blood..”
aha." I blinked for a moment and opened my mouth halfway..
“Wow, then that’s complete bullshit. Isn’t it actually higher level compatibility with Sorcerer??”
As soon as I finished speaking, Ellen got upset and frowned..
“Upward compatibility, what kind of ignorance is that??”
“You can handle all kinds of spells like a regular wizard, but you can cast them conveniently like a sorcerer. Then it is upward compatible..”
“It's not upward compatibility, it's something else..”
The guy retorted with a somewhat annoyed expression..
“Are you saying we don't use any media at all? And even for ordinary wizards, unless they are quite a nerd, they can memorize less than ten spells at most..”
“If a sorcerer lacks talent, all they have to do is handle two or three spells.?”
“……Who heard that from someone??”
“You always boasted about it. “Among the palace masters, there are very few who can handle more than ten spells like you.” Ellen blushed and pursed her lips..
Wow, this talented guy. I know it's a shame.
After keeping his mouth shut for a moment, he cleared his throat and glanced at me..
“Anyway, I learned that blood magic is a secret secret and is only passed down to the two ducal families of Eyland..”
“……Two Dukes of Eyland?”
“huh. “The families of Zahakar and Baluin.” The guy's gaze towards me said, 'Why don't you know that you're Zaha?' The question was permeating.
“……uh.”
But, this is my first time hearing it. No matter how much I search Poy Nyx's memories, I can't find any mention of blood magic..
“There's nothing strange about not knowing. Because blood magic has actually been put into practice..”
The person with that low voice was Heila..
“Did you say it was out of action? why?”
“The seven sorceress elders who were the leaders of blood magic were killed all at once. After that, it continued to decline for 150 years, and the last successor died a few years ago..”
“Are you being slaughtered? To whom?”
“zeot.”
Zeot? It sounds like a name I’ve heard before somewhere..
As I was tilting my head, Ellen opened her mouth with a pitiful expression..
“I mean Zeot of Jeore..”
“……Ah, the conqueror?”
Zeot of Jeore.
He was the first king who founded the Jeore royal family, and was a top-class gangster known by the nickname ‘King of Conqueror.’.
While I shook my head, Hayla looked at Kelsene and then opened her mouth..
“Even if you were the wizard of La-Palais Palace, I didn't expect that a mere vampire would know about blood magic. Moreover, it is a technique that applies blood magic and blood magic at the same time..”
“••••••that.”
Kelsen smiled sadly with a gaunt face..
“My husband taught me.”
“This means that Tenvierma was learning blood magic.?”
“that's right.”
Hayla blinked her eyelids quickly a couple of times. According to the data so far, she must be extremely surprised right now..
“how?”
“Well, I don't know..”
As Heyla's eyes glowed black, Kell Senne quickly added,.
“Tenvierma has collected all kinds of magic books and magic books for nearly 30 years. “It wouldn’t be strange if there were a few magic books related to blood magic among the collection.” Heyla stood like a mannequin, looked at Kelsene, and suddenly spoke..
“lie.”
“What, yo?”
“It's a lie. What you need to learn blood magic is not a secret level or a magic book. You need a teacher who can show you your natural talent and show you the path..”
“……I guess it's different for vampires..”
“Vampires are beings that attach themselves to humans and suck their blood without their own blood source. I don't know if it's blood magic, but I can't learn blood magic..”
“So, as I said, what I wrote is something between blood magic and blood magic.-”
Kelsene, who was talking as if making excuses, turned to me and suddenly raised her voice..
“What are you doing now? Poinix decided to make me human, and I decided to help Poinix. But this endless interrogation?!”
“……what,”
I quietly scratched my eyebrows and then shrugged my shoulders..
“I can't help it. I don't know about you, but it's not that easy to believe in vampires..”
“Ha, you see? then-”
“and.”
I walked up to the excited Kelsene and tapped her on the shoulder..
“Don't yell. Just one more time
If you do, I'll cut off your tongue.”
“what… … , yes‘?”
“Watch your eyes too. When I see those eyes, I want to pull it out..”
I smiled and tapped her eyelids with my fingertips..
“Vampires don't regenerate even if their eyeballs explode.?”
“huh? no?”
“……If you get enough rest.”
“Then, if I want to, I can collect a hundred or two hundred of these pretty eyes.?”
Kelsen's face had suddenly gone from white to pale blue..
I looked back and touched her hair, which felt an unknown coldness..
“Fritz, do you have any chains left??”
“……Why are you looking for chains??”
“I have something to write about.”
Normally Fritz would have grumbled, but he just quietly cursed and put out the iron chain..
Fritz's chain was not very thick because it was a spare part for attaching to an iron flail. So, they added several layers of rope to the chain and tied Kelsenne tightly to a stone pillar..
“……What are you doing now??”
“Don't feel too bad. Because it’s the minimum insurance.”
“Insurance?”
“huh. Because you might have something else in mind..”
I finished tying the knot and pointed to my companions..
“If you cheated, my friends will pay you back.”
“You don't trust me..”
“Phew, what are you saying?.”
I chuckled and shrugged my shoulders..
“Of course I don't believe it. If there was any other way than to sit on that throne, you would have died long ago..”
“……How can that be.”
Kelsen spoke with a pitiful expression as if pleading..
“I made a promise to you.”
“Of course I did. I'm determined to keep my promise, but you don't know if you are too..”
“Why??”
“Because you are a vampire.”
Kelsene opened her mouth as if she was dumbfounded, but then made an effort to put on a stern expression..
“Please release me.”
“no.”
“It's a matter of trust.”
“I am the one who turned your husband into dust. “What kind of trust can there be between us?” I left my distorted face behind and slowly headed towards the throne. I was taking a deep breath when Ellen blocked my path..
“I really want to?”
“Is there anything special? I can't just sit here forever..”
“What can't you do?.”
The guy continued talking while fiddling with the hem of his robe, wondering why he was so anxious..
“There's no need to take risks. You can take your time and do research..”
“get turned. “There is not enough room.” Utequoi, who was sitting with his back against a nearby stone pillar, refuted Ellen's words..
“We wandered through the fog without supplies. Food is running out.”
“Well then, you can go hunting..”
“There are no animals nearby. To hunt you have to go into the fog, that's suicidal..”
Saitz, who was bleeding and agonizing at Utequai's firm words, also added a word..
“Well, I'm telling you in advance just in case. Now that the throne is empty, the fog will become thicker. The dream territory will also run wild..”
“Then what happens??”
He lowered his voice in response to Freckles Mira’s question..
“no one knows that.”
“……Is that the only thing you know how to say? What on earth do you know??”
Saitz shrugged his shoulders at Mira's scolding..
“What if that's true? Does anyone know what he will dream about tonight? Of course not, right? It's the same here too. That's why Hwangye is so fearsome. It will be hard for everyone to be safe except that vampire bitch who is no better than undead.?”
“that••••••
The atmosphere in the throne room calmed down as he spoke in a whisper..
……Oh, it's frustrating.
I frowned and clapped my hands..
“Okay, stop. Enough hesitation. Because there is only one way anyway.”
“trunnion.”
“Ellen, you too..”
“But this time, I was really anxious.,”
He tangled her golden fleece-like hair and gently pinched her soft cheeks..
“When has it never been like that? There were a couple of times when we attacked even though we clearly knew we were in danger.?”
“……still.”
“don't worry. It'll work out okay.”
Since he was still crying, I hugged his small shoulder and whispered to him..
“Alena said that Kelsene would lead me to the right thing..”
“……Ah, Alena.?”
“To be exact, this is what the spirit that resided in Alena said... … . Anyway, so don't worry too much..”
“okay.”
After patting my trembling shoulder, I straighten my back, but before I know it, the man in front of me is spreading his arms..
“ Me too.”
“......what‘?”
“Please do it too-”
In a rare case, Munchi's face was full of sternness and shamelessness..
“Where did you learn this again??”
I smiled and opened my arms, and the guy jumped up and came into my arms..
“lol-”
Ellen frowned when she saw the lump squirming with her forehead buried near my uvula..
“……wait for a sec. you, that's a bit-”
Just as Ellen was about to say something, Ute Kwai stood up..
“phoenix.”
“ huh?”
“Do you have to sit down??”
“then? Should I tell Steedman to sit down??”
Steedman, who was suddenly singled out, made an 'Eck' sound and closed his eyes..
Utekwai took a step forward and shook his head..
“No, I can sit down..”
“you‘?”
“be right. I'm an experienced warrior-”
“Indeed. Hey, that's enough.”
I waved my hand and pushed him back..
“If the bastard who was supposed to be the leader gives up in a situation like this, he will be criticized..”
“……Well, that's right..”
“right?”
As expected, there is nothing wrong with what Byeongjang Moon said..
“Phew.”
I shook off various distractions and stood in front of the throne..
Under the light of torches and oil lanterns, sixteen faces were visible. Everyone looked nervous, so I burst out laughing for no reason..
And finally, the moment I sat on the throne.
My vision became blurred along with a strange feeling that my whole body was shaking..
♦ 5k
The moment Phoenix sat on the white throne, a roar as if heaven and earth were crying at the same time erupted..
Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
“Ugh-”
“Damn, what is it?！”
At a time when the mercenaries were frowning and covering their ears, Kel Sen, who was tied to the pillar, gritted his teeth and shook his arms..
“Shut up-”
The chains that were tightly bound by the unbelievable strength of a slender woman broke with a 'cracking' sound..
“Me, me, vampire bitch!”
Gidon, the crossbowman who was the first to discover her unexpected behavior, suddenly fired his crossbow. However, Kelsenne, who regained her freedom in an instant, avoided the crossbow with quick movements like a black cat..
The silver-plated crossbow struck the stone pillar and made a 'crack' sound. As the sound that started from the throne was fading away, the sharp metallic sound awakened the senses of everyone gathered in the room..
As the mercenaries focused their attention, Kelsenne let out a hateful roar and kicked the ground..
“You, you dirty thief.!”
Her eyes were fixed on the spell thief, Saitz. Kelsenne rushed forward with her fingernails extended..
“Uh, oh my—”
Just before the blade-like claws sank into Saitz, another black spirit flew in like a bird of prey and grabbed Kelsene..
“Hehehehe!”
Kelsen, who was rolling around on the ground, already had three daggers stuck in her body. It was the work of a bunch of assassins from the Martial Arts Council..
“JiAn hud—”
The man with a cold face and a swear word pulled out a cloud sword and cut Kelsenne's neck..
“You, Poi, cheated.!”
Kelsenne had a silver-plated dagger stuck in both of his shoulders, and his knees and feet were trampling on his arms and chest. Moongchi, who had completely subdued her, grabbed her hair with his left hand and pulled it up roughly..
“Ugh,”
“What did you do, tell me!”
Munchi gave off an eerie atmosphere due to his cracked voice and constricted pupils..
“Huh, what did you do??”
However, facing her, Kelsene looked sarcastic while shaking her chin..
“I got my revenge! revenge of my love!”
“Ugh-!”
The hand holding the cloud sword trembled and he glanced back at the throne..
“poi, poi｝”
Phoenics, sitting on the throne, was trembling and showing the white of his eyes, and Ellen was covering his face with a look of astonishment..
“Poi, come to your senses.!”
“Shut up-”
The once white throne had suddenly turned black and was radiating a strange magical power. Ellen immediately realized that the magic power was from another dimension and turned her pale gaze back..
“kel, seine-r
“Hehe, hehehahaha!”
Kelsenne let out a creepy laugh and looked back at the humans with a venomous gaze..
“Heh, you idiots! Trapped in a nightmare world, suffer until the moment you die!” When she suddenly changed her attitude and cursed, most people froze in confusion..
Heyla wasn't.
“You lied from the beginning.”
She melted down one of the rings given to her by Phoenix and raised her magic power, and a red flower bloomed on her hand..
“Wanting to become human was also a lie.”
“Ha, I am a noble of the night! How could anyone want to be a low-class person?!
Even though her throat was cut and blood was pouring out, Kelsene did not stop laughing..
“listen to this sound!”
As if waiting for her to cry out, a 'du-du-du-du-' sound was heard from far away. The mercenaries trembled with ominousness because the sound was somehow familiar..
“Topelin, here comes the lovely child.!”
“......topelin?”
Stylish Steedman repeated the name and screamed in horror..
“Damn, that's the name of the vampire bitch I missed a few days ago.!”
“what? Then no way-”
Mira's muttering stopped in the middle, but the mercenaries were able to immediately grasp the situation. The group of vampires we encountered a few days ago are flocking to the castle..
“Block the entrance!”
Utequai looked back at the confused mercenary and shouted..
“Vampires are not a threat! don't be scared!”
The mercenaries, who came to their senses at the shout, moved busily, erected the broken iron door, and gathered miscellaneous items from the throne room to block the door..
Meanwhile, Hayla knelt down on one knee in front of Kelsenne, who was lying flat on the floor after being subdued, and calmly continued to ask questions..
“So what is happening to Poi??”
“Hehe, no matter how great of a warrior he is, he is still just a human.!”
Perhaps because she had been stabbed with a silver-plated dagger, Kelsenne burst out in blood. Although it must have been painful, Kelsenne smiled brightly as she looked up at the black throne..
“You idiot! Since he sat on the throne alone without an offering, his poor soul will be torn to pieces by the dimensional currents! And the piece will be swept away into the world.!”
She burst out laughing as if she felt relieved after being treated so badly. Although Gwangso, who was so close to death, could have been scary, Heila still had an expressionless face..
“However, the magical power of this dimension is being pushed out..”
“Haha… … . what?”
“I feel it. According to what you said, the magic power of another dimension should overtake Poi, but what is currently encroaching on Poi is the same magic power that makes up the fog..”
At those words, Kelsene opened her eyes and looked up at the throne..
“Uh, how-”
Something like black smoke flowing from the throne was drawing a disk above Phoenix's head..
“This is ridiculous. A mere human soul can build the realm of dreams alone.?”
Heila nodded as she watched her muttering helplessly..
“I don't know anything anymore. I'm out of use.”
“……what?”
“Good. I felt like I couldn't take it anymore ”
Before the words were finished, the red flower on Hayla's white hand spun. Little by little, the rotation became faster and more violent, and crushed Kelsen's head..
“Okay, okay, okay.-/”
In a fountain of blood gushing high, Hayla skillfully sorted out the blood..
While scattering the dirty vampire's bodily fluids and the smelly blood of the old petty thief on the floor, he found one of the most fragrant and rich beads. Heyla held the ruby-red and transparent bead preciously in her hand..
Then, there was a loud noise again..
Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
The black disk emitted from the throne exerted a powerful suction force and attracted Phoenix..
“Phoenix!”
In place of Ellen, who was restless, Utequoi leapt forward..
He tightly wrapped his arms around Ellen and Phoenix's waist, but the suction power generated by the black disk was not something even a giant could resist..
“Hatanka!”
“trunnion!”
Archers Cole and Moongchi also clung to Phoenics..
Googoo googung!
Then the black disk swallowed Phoenix, El Ren, Utequoi, Kol, and the bunch all at once..
““Oh, this is crazy!” While the mercenaries were shocked, Hayla quickly threw herself..
“Ugh—”
The tip of her white finger touched the tip of the black disk, and she, along with those before her, disappeared as if she had been washed away..
The throne room was filled with silence, and what broke the silence was the cry of a vampire coming from afar..
“……Holy nimi.”
Only then did Fritz with the ponytail realize the situation, shake his head and shout loudly..
“Come to your senses, you idiots! We have to stop ourselves!”
Taking that shout as a signal, those left behind continued their preparations for battle..
