My Villains Episode 258
50. pandemonium(12)
Xanabas appeared out of nowhere and spoke with a nervous look on his face..
“By the time I got to the Southern Shore, I ran into this woman..”
“On the Southern Shore?”
“yes. And he thrust a knife at me... … “I threatened you to guide you to Poynix.” “… … what?”
As I frowned, Xanavas closed his eyes tightly and continued talking..
“sorry. I had no choice but to give in to threats threatening Siren and Ethan with their lives. I'm really sorry.”
“Ha, indeed.”
……What happened??
When I cupped his forehead in response to the sudden situation, he started talking rapidly..
“That woman trapped Siren and Edan in some subspace. If that woman dies like this, the two will struggle forever, trapped in an unknown dimensional gap. Phoenix, please do not pretend not to know your comrades who risked their lives together..”
While I remained silent, Ellen, who had been standing silently in the back, opened her mouth..
“Xanabas.”
“Ellen.”
Ellen had an expressionless face. Not really
Although he didn't feel anger or anything, Xanabas's lips trembled slightly as he made eye contact with the guy..
“It's been two months. It's still beautiful. Siren and Ethan learn about Ellen's powerful magic power.,”
“Shut up.”
“••••••yes?”
“Shut up and fuck off.”
Before she knew it, Ellen had received her robe back from Mungchi and was wearing it. Even though there is no wind, the hem of the robe is flowing..
“Hey Ellen. why-”
“Comrades who risked their lives together?”
The eyes shone like sapphires. Beautiful, but cold, lifeless eyes…….
“What did you guys do when Poi was in danger in the dimensional gap??”
“……Ellen. What happened then,”
“When Count Tristan's army came to Longville,?”
“That's the rule of the Rao family.-”
“Shut your mouth.”
Wow.'
A wind blew around Ellen, filling the hall with dense mana. Xanavas' chin trembled from the suffocating pressure..
“A bug-like bastard. It's so shameless that it makes me sick..”
“Ugh, uhh.”
“We sold our information to barbarians out of fear of our miserable lives, and now you are forcing us to sacrifice ourselves..”
“……That's not true.”
The young druid struggled to speak even though he was sweating coldly..
“Even though it was called information, it was just a way to tell. And, we are not forcing you to make sacrifices. “I’m just asking for help-” “I’m asking you to free the barbarian who killed the king’s standard-bearer.”.”
Ellen's pink lips drew a cold line..
“Doesn't that mean I'm asking you to become a traitor for me? While freeing the berserker who will threaten his life again one day,.”
“Selfish bastard. It's hard to believe that nature allowed this power..”
Xanavas closed his mouth with his face turning red. For a moment, he stretched out his arms as if to block the stunned Renka..
“you're right.”
A light green aura overflowed from Xanabas's eyes and mouth. Mana is wrapped around the slim limbs like a vine..
“I'm a selfish bastard. I got kicked out of the clan because of that..”
The smell of the forest spread inside the collapsed tavern. Incongruous with the scent, the surroundings were filled with the sound of weapons clattering, windlasses turning around, and strings being pulled taut..
“But, what can you do? Siren and Edan must be saved..”
“Aha, yeah?”
Three or four small frost picks sprouted in front of Ellen's blue eyes..
Xanabas's hands and feet were shaking, but he glared at Ellen and the wolf-like mercenaries..
What is this idiotic situation? It seems like we are the villains..
“Poinix.”
Before I knew it, it was the voice of Cole, who was standing next to the second floor window. He glanced out the window, holding the taut strings..
“Baron Shaenna is coming.”
“••••••Tsk.”
After a short period of thought, I took a deep breath and put the Hrunting into its sheath. And when he approached Xanavas, he trembled, but did not attack. I guess it's because I realized I was empty-handed..
“good.”
“•…”yes?" “I understood what you said well.” When I tapped his shoulder while saying that, Xanabas made a shocked expression..
“Then, will you help me?,”
Wow!
With a light hitting sound, Xanabas's jaw turned as he was hit in the ear, his body stiffened like a piece of wood, and he fell down on his side..
“X-arm, you're talking bullshit..”
I muttered that and gestured towards the mercenaries with a listless expression..
“Esson, Conwy. Take this bastard away
Where are you putting it?.”
“yep.”
“Mira, Simos. Give that woman everything she owns. ASAP.”
“Heh, it'll be over soon.”
While the stunned Xanavas was being dragged by the two mercenaries, Freckled Mira searched Renka's body and took everything she had. Meanwhile, former demon enemy Sim Moss skillfully peeled off the plate armor..
The remaining mercenaries, including Steedman and Fritz, made a fuss at the entrance, pretending to evacuate the wounded..
By the time Baron Shaenna, who had been delayed for a moment by the commotion, entered the tavern, Xanavas had disappeared without a trace, and Renka was rolling around on the floor wearing only rough leather clothes..
Baron Shaenna, who appeared with his men in droves, quietly looked around the hall. The gaze passed by Ute Kwai and Ellen, lingered on Hayla for a moment, and then turned to Lenka, who had fallen on the floor..
“……Is he dead??”
“I fainted for a moment..”
Light brown eyes visible through the gap in the faceplate turned to me. When she was silent for a moment, I shrugged and said,.
“you're welcome. I just did what I had to do as a knight..”
“……I didn't say anything.”
“Oh, is that so? I thought he said it with his eyes because it was something he had to say..”
“under. How shameless..”
The Baron said so and took off his helmet. Dark auburn hair fell down, revealing a white face with a little soot..
“Did you think I would thank you? To you who brought disaster to His Majesty's land.?”
“……That's a bit harsh..”
“Are you going to say no??”
She glared at me with a sharp gaze..
“The raiders who devastated this place and the barbarian who opened the gates of hell and killed the king's standard-bearer were all targeting you..”
I crossed my arms and tilted my head awkwardly..
“By the way?”
“••••♦•What?”
“is it my fault?”
Baroness Shaenna burst into laughter as if she was dumbfounded..
“Are you saying you won't admit your responsibility? Because of your personal affairs, buildings collapsed and many soldiers died.!”
“The Baron said you were once in the royal capital, right? Was it the guard captain??”
“He is a mounted patrol leader..”
“Then, when you caught a robber or thief, did you also hold accountable the rich or noble people they were trying to rob??
“What kind of nonsense is that??”
“Is this nonsense? Isn’t that the logic of holding me responsible?.”
She narrowed her eyebrows and retorted..
“It is not something to compare to thieves or robbers. You have caused extreme harm to innocent people..”
“Extreme harm to innocent people.”
I smiled slightly.
“Then, Baron, did you hold the King responsible for the Thousand Day War??”
“……Thousand Days War?”
“yes. Isn’t that a rebellion caused by great nobles who coveted the direct control of the royal family? At that time, countless innocent people died. If the Baron's logic is to be followed, His Majesty the King should also be held responsible for that matter.?”
Baron Shaenna opened his mouth for a moment, then his face hardened and his voice raised..
“How cruel! How dare you speak of His Majesty in front of the king's standard-bearer?!”
“I, too, am a betrayer of His Majesty the King. I'm just giving you advice because his rider made some misleading comments..”
“this—”
As she was about to say something, a group of soldiers entered the tavern. I don't know where it came from, but it was wrapped in thick chains and rope..
Baron Shaenna wheezed for a moment and then gestured with his chin at the soldiers, who then went straight to Lenka and began to tightly bind her..
“Master Secento.”
At the Baron's call, a man stepped forward. An elderly man wearing long robes and a long, grizzled beard. He was the wizard who summoned the shadow army when the portal to the flame world opened..
He was someone I kept an eye on because he could perform high-level spells. I guess he was Baron Shaenna's magician.…….
Master Secento stood in front of the tightly bound Lenka and took out a glass bottle. And then he spilled something that looked like sticky ink on Renka and muttered something..
It's neutralization'.”
“……neutralize?”
“It's a powerful spell that can turn even a lively knight into an old man on the verge of death. The ingredients used as a medium are very rare and the order itself is difficult, so it is difficult to find..”
Ellen, who was whispering like that, narrowed her eyes at Master Secento..
“I don't know where he is, but he's probably a wizard from a famous family..”
“‘They summoned a 'shadow army'..”
“Then it must be the Dawn of the Dead. Well, it's obvious if you're a wizard working under the king's standard bearer..”
At that time, the ink flowing through Renka's body trembled and glowed black. The order is complete.
“Lord Eadryghe.”
“ yes.”
When three soldiers lifted up Lenka at the gesture of a middle-aged knight, I suddenly asked a question..
“How will you handle it??”
“……you have no idea.”
“Instead of doing that, please tell me. He's a guy with a grudge against me, so I want to make sure he's executed..”
“ Hyosoo?”
Baron Shaenna's face distorted..
“I don't know what it's like in your hometown, but they don't do such barbaric things in the royal capital..”
“……Is that so? It's a pity.”
Are you planning to take me to the royal road? Well, since he is the one who killed the king's standard bearer, he probably wants to show it to the king in person..
Baron Shaenna, who had taken care of Renka, was about to turn around with his men, but stopped abruptly and made eye contact with me..
“I will show you special mercy and not put you and your group in prison..”
“Oh, really? thank you.”
“……cheeky.”
She chewed the inside of her mouth at my sneer and spit it out..
“However, we cannot leave Modos until the investigation of this barbarian is completed.” "yes?”
“If you want to run away, do so. I will be branded a traitor and live as a fugitive for the rest of my life..”
Before I could say anything, Baron Shaenna turned and left the tavern..
“ha.”
I tried to get over it, but it just wouldn't work. I'm going to have to figure out a way to fuck that shitty baron..
After collecting the dead and treating the wounded, our group went to rest..
The alchemy guild hall, where about a dozen people, including me, stayed, was relatively intact, except that the first floor wall was slightly torn down and the exterior wall was slightly charred. Luckily, it was located slightly outside the center of the battle and was built strong using stone..
Most of the surrounding buildings collapsed without notice..
The ‘Singing Black Bunting’, a tavern used by mercenaries as lodgings, was also on the verge of collapsing at any moment. The mercenaries decided to disperse and stay in abandoned buildings nearby..
Finally, the long day was over and I returned to my room, but there was still work to do..
“Come on, lie down.”
“to……
When the bundle showed signs of hesitation, I spoke in a firm tone..
“hurry. Let’s finish it quickly and sleep.”
“......Ahhh ”
In the end, he couldn't resist my insistence and lay down on the bed. I couldn't even shake off the lumps or dust properly, but I didn't have time to worry about such things..
profit-
As he began to carefully remove the bandage from his leg, he closed his eyes tightly. The pressed flesh stuck to the bandage and began to fall off. Instead of screaming or moaning, the guy tightened his grip on my wrist..
“eww. It hurts a lot?”
“Yes, yes.”
“sorry. Just be patient.”
The burns caused by the martial arts expert's beatings covered the area from below the thighs to above the ankles. Fortunately, not much time passed and thanks to good first aid, there did not appear to be any blisters or pus..
I took off my gloves and my fingertips were bleeding. It wouldn't have mattered if he was treated while wearing the Death King's scale handcuffs, but warm bare skin seemed to be better for the lump rather than the feel of cold metal..
My blood-soaked palms touched both ankles. The lump trembled as if it was quite painful..
For a while, the blood I brought in the capillaries under the skin, and he twisted the waist with a strange sound of 'ug'..
“Why, it's okay?”
“Go, tickle, yo.”
“I can't help it. Let's hold on a little longer.”
“wait, wait-”
I added blood to my fingertips, hoping to end the pain quickly. The blood, pushed by the increased pressure, was forcefully pushed toward both ankles..
The bundle suddenly stood up, let out an unidentifiable scream like 'Kyaaa hehehe' and dug into my arms, pounding my chest and shoulders, but I didn't stop and continued the treatment..
Ellen, who had fainted and was trying to sleep in the next room, opened the door and went back, and Hayla, who was recovering her magic, did something similar and the treatment was completed..
“Ah, ahhh.”
Moongchi lay limply on the bed. His red, bloodshot eyes were unfocused, but his legs were completely healed. Not only the burns but also the small wounds that had existed before disappeared without a trace..
“Phew.”
I'm satisfied. At this rate, I could go back to Earth and open a hospital.?
While thinking that, I was trying to collect the blood flowing down my palm..
“......uh?”
I didn't even get excited, but my blood started flowing in one direction as if I was being pulled by a magnet..
As I was looking at this in a daze, the blood stretched out and headed toward the sword left on the table, to be more precise, toward Hrunting..
Wow.
At the sound of the blade whining, I pulled out the Hrunting as if I was possessed by something. Then, as if waiting, the blood flowing from both fingertips clumped and stuck to Hrunting's black blade..
“Uh, uhh-?”
The blood flow, which had been calm, picked up speed and was drawn into the Hrunting as if it were being fired on purpose..
Hrunting's sword, which was originally milky white, was stained black after stabbing the artist in the realm of dreams. The pitch black surface soaked in my blood soon began to beat violently with dark red veins showing..
“What is this??”
I was embarrassed and quickly gathered my courage and collected the blood. The blood that was floating in the air returned quickly, but the blood that flowed into Hrunting was beyond my control..
And, next moment.
Crackling!
“Uh, uhh?”
The long and sharp blade of Hrunting swelled and took the shape of a sphere. The cross bar and sword handle were crumpled without permission and were sucked into the inside of the sphere..
Then, like paint, the black energy disappeared inward, and white scales covered the sphere..
In short, the knife that was fine turned into scales.
It became a covered egg!
“What, what, this! What?!”
Oh, this X arm-
Give me back my hrunting!
