Chapter 223
My Villains Episode 223
47. nightmare(5)
I saw myself reflected in the mirror hanging on one side of the dressing room..
“……Just hitting the goal.”
Leather clothes, armor full of scratches, a black half-cloak that covered half of the upper body, gloves and a belt with snake scale patterns, and an elongated sword over 1.2 meters long. The outfit did not match the items lying around - a neatly folded towel, a plastic comb, a glass bottle containing skin lotion, and a dryer..
Regardless of the strange feeling, I feel very at ease now that I have my equipment back. In particular, when I put my hand on the Hrunting pummel worn around my waist, I feel a sense of security that is close to coziness..
1Cabinet number 2 contained my equipment, and cabinet number 2 contained Cole's equipment, including a dark yellow composite bow..
“ Hmm••••••
Why are there no other co-workers’ items??
While I was wondering, I suddenly had an ominous thought..
Could it be that Ellen, Utequai, Munchi, and Hayla are somewhere else entirely other than this mansion??
No matter what happened, there was nothing that could be solved by sitting still, so I left the locker room armed and looked around the second floor again..
Like the third floor, the floor here was soft, but the sound of footsteps was quite noisy, perhaps due to the studded soles of the leather boots..
But I didn't slow down to try to reduce the sound..
If you sneak around like a thief and run into black monsters like before... … . Oh, it's scary just to imagine it. This time my heart might really sink..
I decided that it would be better for my mental health to force myself to relax and move around confidently..
2Even though I searched the floor again, I still couldn't feel any people at all..
I tried touching the computers in the office one by one, just in case, but they wouldn't turn on at all..
When I see the fluorescent light coming on, it seems like the power is on, but why doesn't the computer turn on??
I had some doubts for a moment. I realized that hoping for common sense in this strange world is foolish..
Computer aside, what should I do now??
“......ugh”
O •
……In fact, where I had to go was decided from the beginning..
I have to go down. Go down to the first floor and find your colleagues. And regardless of whether your colleagues are present or not, you must leave this place once the search is over..
Even though I knew this clearly, I was just loitering near the fire door leading to the stairs, unable to move forward..
Although I had some reservations about ‘Chief Heo’, the massive monster that roamed around making a roar… … That wasn't everything. An inexplicable ominous feeling seems to be sprouting in my heart..
Even though my heart was pounding, my reason was working hard..
Should I go down through the terrace??
No, it's too dangerous. You've already experienced it.
If I wanted to escape, I could go down there and run to the front door, but anyway, I now have to search the first floor as well. The method of going down to the terrace and breaking the glass door to enter was very likely to provoke the monster named Chief Heo..
Well then there is only one answer this time too.
kkii-
Holding Hrunting, I carefully opened the fire door and entered the stairs..
“ O 99
Seeing the splattered blood makes me feel nauseous. It's because the horrible image of the nurse monster came to mind..
It is fortunate that there is no body. If there had been a corpse, my hesitation would have been two times longer..
“••••••Phew.”
After sighing and shaking off my anger, I went down to the first floor..
1 The first thing I noticed upon entering the floor was the speed gates lined up on the left and right..
It might be awkward to see an item commonly installed at the entrance of a company or building in a suburban mansion, but perhaps because of the interior design, it doesn't feel out of place..
I was wondering if I should go over, so I approached, and the creel plate opened quickly..
“……Hey, I'm surprised..”
Well, since I'm standing inside the gate, it's natural for the door to open without a pass..
Slowly leaving the speedgate
I looked around the stool..
Perhaps because of the high ceiling or because of the interior design, the first floor gave the impression of a department store lobby. In front, there was a full view of the blinded front window, with a front desk on one side and a cafe on the other side..
I searched for rooms where my colleagues might be trapped, but the first floor was a wide open space, so there weren't many places that could be called rooms..
After looking inside the public restroom, the cafe's kitchen, and even the bathroom behind the desk, I was convinced that the building, which I had no idea was a mansion or something, was empty..
The search is over, so I have to get out of here now. First, you have to go back to the 3rd floor and wake up Cole.-
“uh?”
It was just as I was about to move toward the stairs that I heard a man's threatening voice..
“What is it, a multiplier??”
The voice calling me came from the entrance on the first floor. I slowly turn my head and see Wen Janghan smiling..
“It's a multiplier. Why are you out alone??”
“……Who are you??”
“••••••Ugh?”
He was a man with an arrogant appearance who appeared to be in his mid-30s, with his short-cropped hair neatened with pomade and wearing a neat suit..
“What, what are you doing? You're kidding me?”
“Indeed. “I asked you to call me hyung, and you joked around. You’re not just a quiet character, are you?” The man in the suit had light skin and looked like an ordinary office worker at first glance, but he was as tall as me and his shoulders were very broad, so I felt intimidated..
And, he gave off the vibe of a trained warrior..
“But why are you alone? Where is the nurse going??”
“Miss, are you here? Today is Wednesday. Isn't it the day you go to school??”
The man in the suit tilted his head and came over. Instead of answering his question, I lifted Hrunting up..
“What are you doing? It's a hidden camera.?”
“……Stop talking nonsense and attack me..”
“what?”
The man in the suit let out a chuckle..
“Look at this guy. When I say let’s see, the manager looks like a wrapper.?”
The man who approached me while saying that stretched out his arm towards me..
It was like putting a headlock on a close friend, but I quickly backed away and swung Hrunting..
Suddenly!
The blade, obviously with quite a bit of force, hit his forearm, but the man was fine except for a small cut in the hem of his sleeve..
“Oh, fuck-!”
The man frowned when he saw that the gold button on his cuff had fallen off..
“This crazy bastard knows how much it costs?”
No matter what he said, I held the Hrunting at forehead level and aimed the tip of the knife between his eyes. The unfamiliar yet familiar posture is a bit strange, but it gives a sense of stability..
When I pointed the knife at him instead of answering, the man in the suit burst into laughter and cursed as if he were dumbfounded..
“Ha, this guy doesn't know up or down. Am I funny? Since the lady is playing with you, I think something happened to you.?”
My clean, white face turned red..
“You little bastard, you are a pet hamster. If she gets tired of you, she will just have to live like a rat from that moment on. I understand?”
The face of the man who was pouring out words turned dark red, then black..
“But, that kind of bastard-”
The man twisted his body and grew bigger. His physique, which was similar to mine, suddenly doubled or tripled in size. My reason told me to attack immediately, as this was my chance, but my body did not listen..
“How dare you hit on me-!”
The man turned into a giant whose entire body was stained black..
At first glance, their appearance was similar to the black monsters seen on the second floor, but there was a crucial difference. The giant, whose shoulders were so large that they touched the high ceiling of the lobby, had grotesquely distorted human body proportions..
His legs were so short that they were less than his entire height, and his shoulders were grotesquely wide. His arms were dangling from fists larger than his head, and the arms themselves were so long that they stood up straight, with their fingertips almost touching the ground..
The giant, who looked like a troll stretched out three or four times left and right, immediately pounced on me while I was frozen..
“Ugh!”
The reason I was able to move my body before being crushed by a huge palm was thanks to a shout that almost burst my eardrums..
“Huh,”
I barely came to my senses and rolled to the side, gritting my teeth at the black shadow beneath my feet..
Quang-!
The marble floor shattered in an instant, scattering sparkling fragments in all directions..
As soon as I got up, I quickly ran forward. A loud banging sound and vibration erupted right behind me, and pieces of flying stone hit the back of my head and back repeatedly..
“X arm,”
That's Chief Heo.
I cursed and ran towards the doorway as fast as I could..
I didn't have time to open the door, so I covered my face with my vambrace and threw myself against the thick glass..
There was a sharp, clanging sound for a moment. The monster that followed shattered all the front windows, drowning out all the noise..
“Hey, you rat-!”
Director Heo gave a shout that made the air tremble and chased after me with all his might. A pounding sound of inestimable weight made my bones tingle, and I used the fear as fuel to shoot out at an incredible speed..
It was slower than me, but the speed of a monster about 6 meters tall running at full speed was quite impressive..
No, as that large body began to accelerate, it quickly began to catch up with me..
Boom!
The giant's fingertips brushed his hair. The gate was right in front of me, but I felt like I would be caught by a giant before I got there..
The moment I realized this and despaired.
wedge-
The sound of the wind cutting and the sound of steel plates being torn apart rang out in succession..
“Wooooow,”
I quickly flipped to the side and turned around to see the black giant with both hands on the floor just before falling forward. Upon closer inspection, I saw that a thick arrow had been lodged quite deeply in the guy's left hip..
“Poinix!”
The main character of the voice was Archer Cole. He was standing at the window of a room on the second floor - probably a golf practice room - holding a protest..
It seems he came to his senses, got up, followed my traces, and retrieved his equipment..
“Okay, keep shooting.-!”
While shouting loudly, he held Hrunting in his hand..
The body that had lost its warrior-like ferocity, cruelty, and fighting spirit, and was left only a coward, lost its breath..
“Phew, yes. Okay, let's do it..”
Now is not the time to run, it is the time to fight.
Although that monster looked very scary, it would not be as strong as the Creeper Dragon, or rather, the Underlord. Moreover, he was equipped with all the equipment, including Hrunting, and was in good condition..
The body gave an answer to the long and earnest persuasion of reason..
“Hahaha!”
He ran toward the giant, screaming like a fool..
Chief Heo, who had been hit by a second arrow in the back, was looking back toward the mansion where Cole was.,
Yo oo
After hearing my shout, he turned back to me. My heart sank, but things got better..
He did a lunge with all his might, as if he were doing a high jump, and then kicked the ground. Even though I was wearing armor, my body felt surprisingly light, and the moment I jumped, I pushed off the ground with an abundance of force and felt as if something was pulling me up..
Huh!
So he jumped up like a bird and plunged the hrunting into the giant's neck..
Kakagagak-!
“Big,”
The moment the blade hit his black skin, sparks flew out as if welding. My wrist tingles as if I hit a piece of metal..
A large scar was left on Director Heo's neck, but he still moved around fine..
“Whoa whoa-!”
No, he was furious..
Immediately after retrieving and landing the Hrunting, I raised my hand, realizing the blade's lack of sharpness..
No, you don't have to do this..
Normally I would have had to cut my skin with a blade, but I was now wearing the 'Death King's Scale Handcuffs'..
“Phew.”
As I gathered my energy and concentrated my mind, I felt a tingling sensation in my palm..
Blood seeped through the gloves..
The blood rose around the handle of the Hrunting, as if that was how it was supposed to flow, and enveloped the blade..
Hrunting shines! As I showed off my bright red light, I jumped towards the black giant rushing towards me..
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The giant's index and middle fingers passed left and right, and in an instant, the bloody Hrunting was embedded in the face of the giant in front of him..
Pooh wow!
With the sensation of stabbing the hard tofu with chopsticks, Hrunting's blade disappeared into the giant's eyeball. If it hadn't been caught in the crosshair, it would have gone up to my wrist..
“ugh.”
The giant fell to the ground with a low horse..
The big guy falls down and boom! At the same time as the sound was made, a gust of wind blew from somewhere and swept towards the gate. The main gate of the mansion, which had been stained black, revealed itself as if it had been washed away by the wind..
It's good-
The gate shaped like an iron fence opened, and a woman entered..
Beautiful woman wearing a white shirt and blue skirt.
“……Jeong, Soha?”
The woman's quiet smile made something crackle or crack in my head..
