My Villains Episode 241

He grabbed the reins and ran toward the castle gate. Perhaps because it sensed the rider's heart pounding, the dotted dog's hop was faster than usual..
Spotted is a horse obtained after slaughtering a group of demon enemies in South Harbor..
Recently, it was briefly lost during an attack by vampires at Oressa's tavern, but it reappeared after the fog cleared. Not only did I come back alone, but Hayla's favorite horse, 'Oltonidze', came with me..
You don't know how happy Hayla was when Oltonidze appeared with her black mane flowing. My voice was about half an octave higher than usual..
Anyway, thanks to Spotted Jump’s excitement, we quickly arrived at the castle wall. The only gate of Modos that opened to the east was noisy..
“Run, you slugs!”
“You two! “Go up with your arrows!” From the inn next to the castle gate, which was being used as a vigilante barracks, several young men poured out, armed with shabby protective gear and spears and short swords. They all had frightened faces, but they were unable to run away as Conwyre and Esson were shouting threats at them, so they ran up to the gatehouse..
“Poinix!”
When I turned around, I saw a mercenary and a dervish, a heavy soldier, standing on top of the gatehouse, looking down with a bright face among the vigilantes..
““Get down at the gate, quickly!” The vigilantes began to move busily at my shout, and soon the chains began to loosen. I asked, looking up at the dervish as the heavy drawbridge lowered and the iron bars creaked upward..
“How is the situation? people?”
“I'm being chased by orc cubs, and they've come right in front of me. It's just around the corner, right around the corner..”
“good. Prepare the arrows, take the guys in armor and block the gates.!”
Before the dervish could respond, he ran over the half-lowered drawbridge and ran outside..
Indeed, there were dozens of people ahead and orcs chasing them. As Steedman said, there was a giant rampaging at the head of the orcs..
“Wow uh!”
4He was over a meter tall, had a massive body, held a pair of clubs in both hands, and was wearing tattered leather clothes. Two heads on one body.
“……ethin?”
I was expecting a giant to appear, but it turned out to be Etin. A little disappointing..
I was disappointed because I was disappointed, and Ettin is a sufficiently dangerous monster. There's no way a giant who walks around with orcs and eats humans isn't dangerous..
“Ugh, ugh.!”
“Run! faster!”
“Take me too, take me too! legs-”
Every time he swung a pair of clubs, two people turned into blood clots. The unmanaged wheat fields, overgrown with weeds, turned dark red..
“Koag thuchat-!”
Ettin's dozens of orcs almost caught up with the people who were running away and were about to attack them..
no time to waste.
“this way-!”
As I ran forward, shouting, the people who were distraught and scattered saw the open gate and me and ran desperately..
I got off my horse, passing people of various appearances, including a merchant wearing a fine linen tunic and a cape, a priest wearing black robes, a soldier wearing chain mail and iron helmet, and a mercenary wearing leather armor and fur. And then he immediately took a leap forward and threw the javelin..
“Wow!!”
“Zork!”
When the javelin hit the forearm, one of Etin's two garri opened its mouth and screamed. The other head glared at me and cursed..
Seeing that, he immediately threw a second javelin, but it was blocked by the grimy palm of his hand, probably because the master was watching this direction..
“Ardai! Koag tha hum!” Etin's angry voice drew the attention of the orcs. Half of them kept chasing people, but the other half shouted 'Koagral!' or 'Quak saka!' He attacked me, yelling things like that..
“……Okay, okay.”
I held back the laughter that was about to burst out as I pulled out the Hrunting. Because it's impossible to giggle while there are dozens of traces of human mischief scattered about..
I ignored the orcs running through the wheat fields for a moment and focused on Ettin snorting in front of me..
Compared to the ogres and trolls, also known as giants, Ettin is closer to the original. However, compared to the ‘true giants’, it is still inferior..
“Hum—!”
Four eyes filled with hatred looked down at me..
Instead of accepting the snowball fight, he looked at the head on the right and got his energy up. There was a trace of food left on his mouth..
“Kuok!”
As the traces of blood left in the mouth exploded and caused a bloody mess, one of the heads pulled out and screamed, and the other head looked back at its twin brother in shock..
In that gap, he kicked the ground and swung Hrunting towards the thick leg. The blade, stained black with the artist's blood, swept under Etin's knees. The dirt that turned into hard dead skin bit Hrunting in the jaw..
“Hmm,”
As I inhaled, I strengthened my grip and twisted my waist. The black blade jumped out, cracking and gnawing at the bone..
“Shaha-!”
“Shut up!”
Etin's two heads screamed in unison. A pair of clubs rushed with ferocious force..
I quickly took steps and went back to the back of my leg, which was gushing blood. Thump, thud, the vibration of hitting the ground tickled the soles of my feet, and a terrible stench stung my nose..
“••••••Wow.”
He held his breath and swung the blood-covered Hrunting wildly. The dark red sword light cut through the wind and made a cheerful sound..
Cooung.
Ettin, who had deep cuts carved into his calf, Achilles tendon, kneecap, and thigh, fell forward and fell to his knees. I swallowed a curse and let out a grunt as the ugly thing between my thighs rattled at eye level..
“Ughhh!”
“Dhek, Shahaa,”
A suppressed scream erupted as the man was cut off by the roots. Ettin's blood was pouring out like a fountain and his limbs were shaking..
He turned his paralyzed body around and swung his sword twice. Two heads the size of human torsos were rolling around on the floor..
The orcs, who were furious at the sight of human blood, were not afraid even after witnessing Etin's death. They just pounced on me like that..
“shoot
At that time, a group of arrows flew from the castle wall..
Of course, because they were fired by inexperienced vigilantes, only six or seven of the more than twenty arrows hit the orc, and only three of them took his life. Still, it was enough to stop the orcs who were attacking like berserkers, even if only for a moment..
“Yaksa hum!”
“Dhek uishal!”
I even flinched for a moment. The orcs went berserk again and continued to charge. About twenty of them attacked me, while the rest that were chasing people attacked the mercenaries and vigilantes blocking the castle gate..
Normally, I would have been excited and rushed towards him... … . Why am I losing motivation? Is it because of the terrible odor that Ettin gave off?.
Instead of jumping between the orcs, I slowly took a step back and stretched out my left hand. Magic power more powerful than that of most wizards was converted into blood energy and flowed through his arms. Blood raged on Etin's blood-soaked corpse..
bang!
As if a grenade had exploded, blood and flesh swept everywhere. Among the orcs who attacked with foam in their mouths, most were caught up in the bloodshed and covered in blood. The explosion was powerful enough to be mistaken as using the necromantic spell ‘Corpse Explosion’..
“Tza, Tzatguwi?”
“Toviak! Koagral-!”
Healthy orcs rushed among my groaning companions, and my energy rose again. This time, the dark green blood shed by the wounded orcs exploded and attacked their comrades who were passing by..
“Shut up, shut up!”
“Shaikara!”
Once again, several orcs were wounded and fell, and they were drawn to my blood and spewed blood at their comrades. In this way, twenty-five orcs were torn apart without even swinging their weapons and became fertilizer in the wheat field..
“Lumfere!”
A familiar, sonorous voice.
Before I knew it, a blonde wizard had climbed to the gatehouse and was shooting fireballs down the castle wall. The red-hot fireball fell in the middle of the orcs who were charging toward the castle gate..
Quang-!
A pillar of fire rose with a roar..
The orcs, engulfed in fierce flames, screamed with the sound of pigs being ripped open..
“charge-!”
“Kill them all!”
Before the few surviving orcs could come to their senses, Conwyr and Dervish led the vigilantes and attacked. The vigilantes were mostly serfs with no combat experience, but as residents of Middleworld, they were able to easily surround confused orcs and stab them with spears..
Wow!
The battle ended with the last orc being decapitated by Conwyr's angled beheading sword..
Conwyer took a dozen vigilantes with him, gathered the monster's corpses aside and set them on fire..
Not only Etin but also the orcs were very heavy, so they all had a hard time. However, if left as is, wild animals and other monsters would be attracted, so it was inevitable..
Dervish and Eson took the rest of the men and helped the merchants..
The goods he had packed after hearing rumors about a wealthy householder were strewn about in the fields and wheat fields. Fortunately, there were very few luxury items, mostly grains and winter clothes, so there were not many spoiled items..
I greeted the priests while Hayla met with the merchants' representatives to conduct business..
“May the blessings of light be with you. Thanks to you, my life was saved.”
“May the blessings of light be with you. I'm glad you're safe, priest..”
Following the young Gwangmyeong Church priest, he placed his hands on his chest and lips in turn and bowed his head..
“We were unable to notice the monsters' approach in advance, so we were late in responding. If I had hurried a little more, I would have sacrificed less..”
“Don't say things like that. How could you have expected what happened so quickly?.”
Hmm, fortunately, he seems like a person I can communicate with..
After chatting for a while, the young priest, 'Alford', said that he had come to investigate Raven's Cliff under the instructions of the local bishop of Trosher. The news came that Count Mattianver was a vampire and that he was killed by my hands..
He set out from the church with two disciples, ten guards, and four servants, but only half of them arrived. Six soldiers and three servants were killed in the attack by Etin and the orcs..
“Without their sacrifice, I wouldn't have been safe..”
Next to the priest who quietly made the sign of the cross, three monks stood holding quarterstaffs. It is said that they were mendicant monks, and while wandering nearby, they happened to meet Alford and his group and joined them..
The priests wanted to collect the dead. The day was over in an instant as I helped them hold a simple funeral and assigned them accommodations..
The next day, as soon as the sun rose, I led the priests to Raven's Cliff Castle..
All that could be found in the collapsed fortress was a worn-out flag, bone fragments, and other miscellaneous items. However, traces of magic remained underground, and the priests used their divine powers to detect evil energy..
“I'm sure there was some evil intention..”
Priest Alford, who was carefully examining the blood stains reflected in the torches held by the mercenaries, spoke with a cautious expression..
“But I don't know if those are signs of a vampire. It's a shame because my level isn't that high..”
“Then maybe it would be good?”
“Um, are there any vampires captured alive??”
“doesn't exist. They killed Count Mattianver and his three wives, and the rest turned to ashes when they saw the sun..”
“okay……
The spell locked in the guildhall warehouse also came to Saitz's mind for a moment. He is a decisive witness,
I remained silent. If it were revealed that he had been caught, it was obvious that numerous victims, including the Dawn Council, would come forward and make a mess of the situation..
His purpose was to go to the Palace of La-Palais and clear Ellen's name, not to prove my innocence here..
In the end, Alford's investigation continued for several days without any conclusion..
After a week, about 300 people arrived in Modos..
It was an army sent by Lionel III, King of Milan..
