My Villains Episode 249

50. pandemonium(3)

There are many empty buildings in the castle village of Modos. This is because the original residents ran away at night, turned into vampires, or became their prey..

The situation is at least better now that the leader of the vampires, Count Mattianber, and his three wives have died and the 'throne' has been destroyed..

This was especially true in the bar street where Phoenix's group settled down and the commercial district where the king's standard-bearers set up administrative offices. It felt a bit crowded due to the concentration of refugees from the territory..

The outskirts near the castle walls were still sparsely populated..

It was the soldiers, mercenaries, and vigilantes who turned the poor refugees into good weaklings, not their natural mentality. Therefore, the alleys where the vile strongmen live have naturally become places that people avoid..

Crimes frequently occurred in places where patrols or vigilantes could not reach. Some buildings became secret warehouses or hideouts for thieves..

A similar case occurred in a building west of Modos..

3The one-story stone house was a place where a few wizards who had no cards to prove their identities secretly held meetings..

These gatherings were bound to attract ominous rumors, be discovered by the lord, and meet a cruel end. And the wizards who gathered in this house also met that fate in a similar way and sooner. by the twelve visitors who came last night..

A stone house from which the gloomy tunes of stringed instruments play..

3Sitting by the window on the first floor was Dirk, a one-eyed bounty hunter. He looked out the window with sharp eyes and burst into laughter..

“Oh my, you have guts too..”

“Who are you talking about??”

“The magicians that were occupying this place..”

Dirk looked back at Tobias, a young prosecutor with a neat appearance, and pointed out the window..

“I don't know if it's foolish or bold to use such a well-located house as a hiding place. Isn't that so??”

“That's right, but,”

Tobias glanced out the window with his hand on his light green gem-studded fur. Perhaps because it was on the third floor of a building built on a slightly sloping hill, the scenery of Modos was visible at a glance..

“It seems like a useful hideout as long as you set up a good guard..”

“The jugglers didn't do that. They must have been stupid?”

“That's right.”

Regardless of whether they have a status card or not, magicians are quite useful beings. This was especially true for the ‘Black Wolves’, a gang of bounty hunters..

One-eyed Dirk chewed his mouth in disappointment..

“okay. No matter how much of a magic trick they are, there is no need for such idiots..”

According to the Black Wolves' method, a wizard should have kept them alive and found something to use, or offered them to the church for a bounty..

But I couldn't do it this time.

Because I was traveling with people who despised any magician who didn't belong to them. Well, the wizards who shared their meager knowledge in the humid underground became corpses without even begging for their lives..

“……by the way. Shouldn't we slowly chase after that monster??”

The ‘monster’ Tobias meant was Iljin, a monk from the East. A supreme warrior who accompanies the Black Wolves under the instructions of Marquis Assen, one of the clients.…….

“What should I do if I chase after him??”

“We have to watch the situation. Take advantage of the opportunity to catch the Fire Witch, and if the opportunity arises, avenge your comrades..”

“Arthur, Arthur.”

Dirk narrowed his brows and waved his hands..

“If you talk about revenge on the subject of human hunting, your life will be short-lived..”

“Since he is a bounty hunter, he must seek revenge even more. There are four comrades I lost in Longville, four. If we leave them alone, the Black Wolves' reputation will be tarnished..”

“That's not your problem, so don't worry..”

Dirk glanced back inside the hall with firm words..

“……The captain will take care of it..”

Where his single eye was directed, there was a man sitting playing a viel (a string instrument resembling a violin)..

The handsome man with bronze skin had gray hair that covered the nape of his neck roughly tied up. His disheveled appearance, combined with his dark facial features, gave off a very gloomy atmosphere..

He wore light leather clothes and had a rather unusual dark brown cape wrapped around his shoulders. It was a cloak that looked like it had been deliberately chopped up if someone who didn't know it saw it..

In addition, small chain silver necklaces and black rings were also noticeable, but the rest were just items suitable for ordinary mercenaries or wanderers..

Following Dirk, the eyes of other bounty hunters also focused on the handsome man, but he turned on Biel regardless. It was around that time that three wizards appeared from the stairs..

“What on earth is going on?!”

All three wizards were from La-Palais Palace. The person in front, grinning and shouting, was a man in his mid to late 30s wearing maroon robes and holding a red wooden staff..

“Master Hagni.”

Dirk's face hardened when he saw the wizard, who was quite young for a master..

Hagni was one of the greatest geniuses of his time and a master of fire and earth magic. However, due to his temperament, he was not a good employer..

“That monk! Where is the monk who is doing his best??”

“As you may have guessed, he's gone..”

“what!”

Master Hagni's face twisted and he banged on the table where Dirk was sitting..

“This guy did this! You were just looking at it!”

“Don't be too angry. As you know, he is strong beyond imagination. It might make the master's job a lot easier..”

“tomorrow? Ha, yes! traitor in the palace

It's my job to catch it.”

Hagni, who was sarcastic with a distorted face, continued speaking sharply..

“What about you? Are you planning to just sit back and watch and take the gold coins?!”

“All we have to do is wait carefully.”

Regardless of whether Hagni blushed or not, the bigger one scratched under his black eyepatch and shrugged his shoulders..

“This is the realm ruled by the king's bannermen. If you cause trouble in a land like this, you could easily be accused of being a force that opposes the royal family. Then it would be difficult for the palace or us to be safe..”

“That's what I said! I didn't stop that damn monk from going off to cause trouble.!”

“He is a foreigner. After achieving your goal, run to the east and you will have nothing to worry about..”

“……what?”

“If the monk achieves his goal, the number of enemies will be reduced by one, and a few people will be injured in the process. Then your, no, Grand Master Galnar's request will be resolved easily..”

Hearing Dirk’s boast, Hagni burst into laughter with a distorted face..

“They say they are the best bounty hunters on the continent, but they are extremely sloppy. The traitor Erenar and his party are suddenly attacked. As a result, I knew what kind of action I would take and took it easy like this.?”

“As Master Hagni said, there is a possibility that variables may arise..”

Dirk glanced sideways again at the handsome man with gray hair. He was still playing the dreary tune.

“But the important thing now is not the variable.”

“So what's the big deal??”

“This is the full force of the bloody prosecutor and his party. Even if it is strong, it is too strong. This level of patience is essential to prevent a repeat of the tragedy in Longville..”

Galnar's associates and the black wolves had a history of attacking Phonyx's group in Longville..

At the time, they spent a lot of money to hire more than a hundred mercenaries, but they were all wiped out by the blonde witch's fireballs and the rampaging berserkers. At that time, three wizards in the palace, including Master Widal, died, and five black wolves also died..

Dirk, who was reminded of his previous failure, crossed his arms and pointed out the window..

“The monk is a monster that can crush even a huge troll with a single punch. Master Hagni knows, right?.”

W.O. ”

“If so, it could cause significant damage to the power of Poynix and his party. If you're lucky, you'll be able to wipe out those who are in a dying state and only take care of the fire witch.

Maybe.”

It was a pretty attractive idea, so Hagne kept his mouth shut and thought about it..

Around that time, an explosion was heard far to the east..

“Looks like it's started.”

“Huh, I can't help it. I'll just watch for now..”

Hagni took a step back and looked out the window while holding his cane..

The battle between the group of monks and Poynix's group was glimpsed between the buildings. The distance to the guild hall where the battle began was well over 200 meters, but the stone house on the hill had a very good view..

Moreover, shouting and screaming were going on in succession against the background of red-hot flames, thick dust, and dark red shadows. It wasn't that difficult to infer the situation of the war..

“……It looks like it's being pushed?”

As Hagni muttered that, the string instruments stopped playing..

The handsome man who was sitting in the corner playing Viel got up, pushed his chair, and approached the window..

“Mr. Ashur.”

“Hmm.”

The man called Ashur swept his gray hair and smiled bitterly..

“It seems that the blood-covered group of swordsmen is stronger than what you reported and the rumors of the world..”

“Is that so??”

“okay.”

Ashur, who was watching the battle with his amber eyes colored purple, tapped on the window frame and opened his mouth..

“I think I should finish my work today. no, right now.”

“Those words are?”

“Wear a mask. Move on to the second plan.”

“yes.”

One- eyed Dirk immediately got up and went down to the second floor, and the current prize hunters, including Tobias, followed him. The wizards in the palace looked bewildered..

“No, what is this??”

“The winless team is being pushed back..”

Ashur lost confidence while speaking. It was because I saw a golden light emerging from the dust in the distance. But he didn't show anything..

“The damage to the bloody swordsman and his party is less than expected. I have to start the fight now.”

“Are you kidding me? This is the King’s land! It's Lionel III's territory.!”

“If you're worried about that, take off your robes. Wear a mask.”

“What, what?-!”

As his face turned red, as if he had heard something derogatory, Ashur looked back at him with golden eyes..

“Did you know that it would be easy and clean to get rid of enemies in the palace??”

“……It's the palace's enemy. Erenar is just a traitor who killed his teacher and stole the banned book..”

“And she is also a powerful wizard called the Fire Witch. Her companions are even called the most dangerous gangsters on earth..”

Ashur bit into a cold smile..

“Do you remember what you said when you first proposed the request??”

“It wasn't me who commissioned you..”

“He said all he had to do was kill a few dirty mercenaries and catch an incompetent girl who couldn't even use magic..”

Hagni swallowed dry saliva as his sharp eyes seemed to penetrate deep into his eyeballs. Ashur continued speaking with a still smile on his face..

“Just be thankful that they don't break the contract. Then, quit thinking about just using the hounds and run for it yourself. Run directly toward your goal.”

“Follow Dirk. I'll tell you how to move.”

Ashur, who spoke quietly, glanced at the silent wizards and returned to where he was sitting. Then he stood at the window again, holding a black hat with feathers and a blue-black bow..

“wait for a sec. Then, you?”

“Questions later. Follow Dirk.”

Ashur left only those words and jumped out of the window..

“no,”

When the wizards were perplexed,

flutter.

Inyoung, with her tattered cape wide open, glided towards the village under the setting sun..

‘red grip’.

It is a rank 2 skill in the blood fighting arts series, and this is the first time I have used it in actual combat..

Maybe that's why the sensation of sharp teeth growing all over my palm felt so unfamiliar and strange..

“Big, huh-!”

As he applied more force to the anglerfish, these teeth, sharp and densely protruding like those of a piranha, turned the monk's neck into a rag. The intention was to rip the uvula or break the cervical vertebrae in an instant, but a body that transcends human beings was not something that could be easily ended..

As blood spurted out like a fountain and soaked into his red hands, the monk gritted his teeth and swung his arms..

Grumbling!

My red-hot intestines radiated fierce heat, and I let go of my hand holding the monk’s neck and quickly stepped back. Because it would be foolish to drag on for too long with a martial artist who is a master of close combat..

Of course, I didn't go away easily..

“Wow!”

He drew back the bloody blade he had collected and swung Hrunting. The sword strike, which narrowly missed the tension of the yeoljinjang, rushed towards the monk's shoulder. Although Hrunting was in the process of retreating, the distance was sufficient as it was over 2 meters longer..

“Sigh,”

The monk did not lose his composure even though he was poisoned by a bunch of poison, his shoulders and elbows were covered in blood, and the area under his uvula became a rag. He took a step back and at the same time punched out with all his energy in his fist..

Kwaang!

The blood sword and the diamond fist clashed. A strong rebound force was conveyed along with a sound like a bomb exploding..

5, 6I bounced back about a meter and regained my balance, but my palms tingled. Unable to overcome the power, his mouth was torn apart..

Meanwhile, the monk took three or four steps back and patted his chest and under his chin. Judging by the fact that the bleeding from the neck wound has stopped, it appears that a trick like divination was used..

“……Ha, really.”

The sight of him correcting his posture with burning eyes makes me burst out in lamentation..

“Isn’t this a bit too much??”

It's to the point where I feel fear due to his monster-like physical ability and extreme mental power..

Just when morale was about to break, Ellen and Hayla's attack continued..

“Archuire, ensa-ra!”

Following the sonorous voice tinged with anger, heat surged in from behind. When I glanced back, I saw several flame arrows floating in the air, blazing..

Ellen, whose golden hair was fluttering and her magic was dispersing, looked back at Hayla just before spitting out the starter word. Then Heyla extended her dagger forward as if she had been waiting..

Sooooooooo!

Six beads of blood flew at the monk at once..

“ Q ” “司三

The monk clenched his fist, full of energy and vigilance..

But the beads of blood hit not him, but the ground where he stood. And its size increased dozens of times, staining a radius of about ten meters with blood..

Then, the puddle of blood on the floor started shaking..

“…… Amitabha Buddha.” Just as the monk was trying to escape from the ominous feeling, dark red waves that started from the outskirts gathered towards the center of the pool and towards the monk. The flowing blood spurted out and tightly bound the monk's ankles and calves..

“Tsk,”

“Ignis!”

Before the monk could shake off the ‘swamp of blood’, Ellen shouted the starter word. Twelve flaming arrows rushed towards the monk at the same time, as if magical archers had fired them all at once..

That wasn't the end.

Hayla, whose eyes turned red due to her high blood energy, used the blood swamp and also summoned red thorns. Two red thorns sprouted from the floor, baring their teeth at the monk..

“Search-!”

I also contributed my strength. Since I couldn't rush into the midst of the explosion of magical power, I stretched out my hand and caused a bloodbath. The blood staining the monk's upper body burst out all at once..

“Wow!”

happy song-/

Blood, flames, smoke, dust, and magic swirled together. I alerted my other senses to compensate for my limited vision and at the same time increased my distance to prepare for an attack taking advantage of the confusion..

Meanwhile, Ellen and Hayla did not slow down their offensive. Ellen, with a bright blue glow in her eyes, memorized a spell at rapid fire and threw a fireball, while Hayla, with her black hair flowing, drew a red picture on a puddle of blood..

By the time the fierce offensive slowed down.

Wow!

A strong light streamed out between the smoke and red vapor..

golden light. The flames and dust quickly receded. I guessed the identity of that light and unconsciously swore..

“……Oh my.”

Finally, a monk wearing a ‘Geumgwangjingi (金光眞氣)’ appeared wearing half a hat..
