Chapter 292
My Villains Episode 292
53. midnight sun(11)
Just as he was about to cut down the two ghouls who jumped into the wall looking for an opening, Gollman shouted in a hurry..
“Me, Nari! Look over there.!”
Golman, with a pale face, raised the tip of his spear and pointed at the headless knights below the castle..
“They are coming!”
“……Phew.”
Before I know it, my expression is crumpled..
The headless knights, the Dullahan, led by a dozen skeleton knights wearing splendid equipment, were attacking Utequai..
“Shit.”
When I glanced back, I saw the monk standing at the gate still pouring out prayers in an angry voice. Feeling fortunate that the momentum was still there, I called the conductor..
“I have to go down! You are in charge here!”
“yes? It's too dangerous to go down-”
“Protect the priest somehow!”
With my feet between the battlements, I half scolded him..
“Even if this barrier is overcome, the priest must be protected. Don't want to suffocate in the foul fog they emit.!”
“It's too much for us, you need to be there.!”
“This is your chance to take out the Dullahans! Without them and the banshees, zombies are just brains
They're just dead bodies!”
“Wouldn't it be better to wait for support from the cathedral?!”
I looked towards the cathedral. There is no doubt that a battle took place, but there has been no news since the white flames erupted about an hour ago..
I shook my head, biting my lip out of worry for Heyla and the mercenaries in the cathedral..
“……no. I can't hold on until then.”
The castle is full of zombies, and the Dullahan and the Skeleton Knights are trying to kill Ute Kwai to secure their victory. It's not the time to wait for a fluke, it's the time to win even if it's reckless..
“lily！”
Leaving Conwy behind, who was trying to dissuade me, I immediately threw myself down the castle wall..
“Athar, Marta—I”
With good timing, Ute Kwai, who had just gone berserk, lunged towards the Dullahan. Following the crazy flashing black eyes, chains filled with scarlet flames swept everywhere..
Pussyik!
The three dullahan exhaled white vapor from their bodies and crouched down. Two of them blocked the chain whip, and the other threw his head at Utequai..
«o ” -----9
Utekwai was able to maintain a semblance of reason even during the berserk attack thanks to his awareness of the 'mother goddess' guidance.' However, the evil energy that filled the place entangled even the slightest trace of reason..
In the end, instead of remaining calm in front of the Dullahans, he displayed the recklessness of a berserker. In short, they rushed at me like a crazy person..
“Grrr!”
Utequai struck down the large head flying towards him with his fist and then pulled the chain. Then, they got entangled with the Dulla Hands and entered into a hand-to-hand fight where they took each other's bones..
When I tried to intervene, the skeleton knights blocked me..
“Well, *catter* turn it off!”
They clinked their teeth and charged at me with quite quick movements..
As expected of those who followed Luke and gained experience and were promoted to Skeleton Knights, their level of movement was completely different from when they faced each other as Skeleton Soldiers in South Harbor..
“These bone bastards,”
The goal was to kill the Dullahan quickly and then somehow destroy the banshee, but the Skeleton Knights didn't seem to have any intention of letting me go..
A knight carrying a large shield with a black image on a white background, 'The Forgotten Crusader', trusted his armament and pushed forward..
He is wearing pure white, no, white plate armor called 'pure white' and a helmet called 'Knight's Loyalty', so it is impossible to see any gaps..
The mace he swung, ‘Nakseong’, was released with the black ice he quickly pulled out. Then, as if they had been waiting, all kinds of rare weapons such as 'Blood Line', 'Ecstatic Death', and 'Early Harvest' targeted me and attacked me all at once..
“Big,-”
From the beginning, there was no option to receive it with my body. Each one of them is a weapon powerful enough to tear apart even magical plate. Moreover, even a slight cut would cause severe bleeding, pain beyond common sense, and a strange curse..
I stepped back and swung the morning star. At the same time, he used blood magic and wrapped his shoulders with a blood shield..
A red-smoke-filled trident grazed under the chin, and a frighteningly sharp trident struck the white, flashing blade! He was caught and thrown to the ground, a scythe with a handle of over two meters in length was stuck between his feet, and a mace with horns sprouting in five directions struck him diagonally on the shoulder..
wow!
“Ugh,”
The shield of blood was instantly broken..
The horns on Mace's head dug into the gaps in his shoulder blades as if they were alive. I immediately let go of the black ice and held on tightly to the hilt of the mace. and laid down.
nettle!
As soon as I lay down, bone arrows, arrows of light, and some black bullets flew right in front of my eyes. The Skeleton Knights who were waiting for an opportunity from behind fired all at once..
“Hmm!”
I rolled backwards, clutching the horned mace, ‘Hand of Mammon.’ The skeleton knight holding the mace clattered after me, unable to resist my vicious touch..
“Huh, huh-”
By the time I got up from the mud after rolling about five or six times, I was holding the head of a skeleton knight wearing a helmet in my hands. While he was rolling around in one lump, he threw the morning star under his chin and severed his neck bone..
I smiled as I looked at the Skeleton Knights who had paused for a moment, perhaps surprised by my colleague's death, or just preparing their posture..
“one.”
Either way, the Skeleton Knights, who have their own siege network, are like, ‘Tap, click!’ They all attacked at once, making loud noises..
“Hey, Ute Kwai!”
He picked up the heavy mace and threw it. Utekwai, who was tangled up with the Dullahans, foamed at the mouth and said, 'Ugh, ha!' He laughed and picked up the ‘Hand of Mammon.’ I really like this look.
Twisting.
He grabbed the handle of the morning star tightly and charged at the Skeleton Knights..
Thanks to my inhuman body and the supernatural power of blood magic, I did not feel the fear of death unless it was during a certain battle..
Although I have never tested it, I was confident that I would survive even if a hole the size of a fist was punched in my stomach. I was pretty sure I wouldn't die..
But things are a little different now.
Of the fourteen skeleton knights in front of me, most of them hold weapons that can cut through my armor and bones in an instant. Besides, they don't have blood, so I can't show even half of my power..
“Huh, huh!”
The fear of death rises.
My heart is beating fast. Tension and shivering dominate the body along with the sensation of the extremities of the extremities becoming hot..
tall/
The blue ax in contact with the morning star, electric current pouring through 'blue light'.
““Geugeuk, huh-” My vision turns gray and my chin, hands and feet are shaking, but for some reason, I burst out laughing. He tilted his neck back and slammed it forward, shattering the entire skull wearing a skullcap..
M two'—ah
As compensation for attacking while surrounded, we had to roll in the mud for a while. Legendary weapons were pounded into the ground at intervals of only 2 to 3 centimeters. Avoiding the attack altogether was pure luck. I feel like blood is rushing to my lower abdomen due to the fantastic experience..
Instead of rolling around in the mud, I jumped up like a frog. Kaggeuk! A few blades grazed the plate armor and sparks flew. I swung the morning star without heeding anything. The guy wielding the purple trident was torn apart at the waist and rolled around on the floor..
“ four,”
It's not three, it's four. In the distance, a skeleton holding a magic longbow called 'Boreakkum' just had its head blown off by a kick from a bunch. Anytime you see him, his kicks are excellent. Is it because you have pretty legs??
Sigh!
“Ouch,”
I paid the price for losing my sight. I twisted my waist when a long sword flew in from a blind spot, but unluckily, the tip of my finger got caught. The tips of the middle and ring fingers of the left hand were cut off..
A blade sharp enough to split even the scale handcuffs of the Death King in an instant. It is ‘Geogeol’.
“This fucking guy,”
Using the cross bar of the morning star, the palace was pressed down. He stuck his severed finger into the eye hole of the helmet of the man who was struggling after being suppressed by the weapon. The two-barreled shotgun spewed fire, no, blood..
bang!
The skull was torn to pieces by blood fragments, and the empty helmet tumbled down..
“Daseo- that hog!”
Sseuok!
The ‘Blood Vanguard’, spouting red smoke, passed by with a handful of cuts to the back. A blow that tears through enchanted plate armor like a piece of paper..
Fortunately, I twisted my body at the last moment and my spine was not damaged. I rolled over again like an animal, with the tip of my left hand, which was already starting to grow fat.
I shook the mud and grabbed hold of it..
“O •he ” --9
The thrilling sharpness of an old blade sends a chill down my spine. I knew it would break quickly if I handled it carelessly, but I didn't have time to worry about that now..
“That Ahab!”
A heavily armed skeleton knight blocked the way and slashed his sword at the guy with all his might. There was also a blade of blood added in an instant..
Kagaga River!
The helmet ‘Royalty of the Knights’ and the shield ‘Forgotten Crusader’ were torn apart with a sharp scream. The bones inside were also there..
“W, nut!”
In return for splitting two pieces of unique armor at once, the old famous sword was snapped in half..
I threw away the sword that had become a small sword and took a step forward. This time, I was able to avoid the attacks pouring in from the siege relatively easily thanks to taking out the opponent in one go..
“ seven-”
A bunch of cloud swords decapitated another Skeleton Knight. It was a guy with a crossbow (Stonebow) that shot iron bullets..
A skeleton knight with a rock-like shield attacked the crowd, but the creature shook its body like a willow tree to ward off the attack and disappeared into the darkness..
“Hmm, I'm starting to get scared?”
‘Because the guy with the 'Dead Man's Crossbow' and the guy with the 'Rock of Corinth' were tied up by a bunch, there were only six Skeleton Knights confronting me..
When I turned my head, Utequai had just torn one of the three dulahan in half..
“Aren’t you scared? Your brothers are all being cut down too.?”
While saying that, I focused my energy on the wound on my back. The wound that got bigger due to swinging the geoggeol is healing rapidly.…….
“If you leave behind all the equipment you have, they will save you... … Uh, it doesn't mean much since they are already behind.?”
I was planning on buying time to recover, but two unexpected things happened..
“Ugh!”
“It's a bunch!”
The group launched a sneak attack on the skeleton knight holding the 'Dead Man's Crossbow', but unfortunately, it seemed to be blocked by the strong armor. Moreover, he received a counterattack and was pierced in the shoulder by a long bone arrow..
“Ugh, huh……
The group shook off the hordes of zombies attacking from all directions and barely melted into the darkness. It was fortunate, but to exaggerate, he was pierced by a crossbow as tall as me, so any further action would have been impossible..
“No, don't back down.-!”
“Protect the priest!”
When I looked back due to the commotion that was almost like a struggle, I saw a materialized ghoul attacking the top of the gatehouse. The mercenaries, including the garrison sergeant and Cern Whire, tried to stop him, but the ghoul threw himself and destroyed the defensive wall..
“You wicked and insignificant being, your lowly servant commands you to stand aside.!”
As the old monk shouted in a dignified voice, the halo added to the light..
Wow!!
However, the last ghoul did not stop charging even while his body was burning with the power of the halo. And finally, deeply!
I sunk my hook-like claws into the chest of the old monk..
“Big, big, big.!”
“priest!”
Angry and embarrassed soldiers chopped up the ghoul..
“Lord, *sigh* Lord of light,”
The old monk prayed until his last breath. The halo flashed..
Wow!
Not only the ghoul, which was reduced to a rag, but all the zombies within a radius of 200 meters turned into pillars of salt..
Cluck cluck cluck-!
As if completely uninterested in such miracles or the sacrifices of its henchmen, the last banshee roaming the night sky let out a bloodcurdling laugh. And the endless, undulating army of corpses was still pushing towards the monastery..
There is no divine protection anymore. Not only the fog of decay emanating from the corpses, but also the evil energy that spread everywhere began to creep up the wall..
“••••••Oh my••••••
Cursing comes out without me even realizing it..
No really, how on earth are you going to beat this??
They killed Luke, the leader, in a surprise attack, burned more than 2,000 zombies using the sacred barrier, and cut down almost all of the Dullahan and Skeleton Knights with a forced victory. What more can they do??
Could it be that the ending was determined by the death of Saint Abel? It was my predestined fate to end up buried in an army of undead like this.?
“He looks like a dog, really.……
No, that can't be true. There is still a final struggle left..
After eliminating all the Dullahan and Banshees, which are entities that can command the zombies, you must either block the wall or run away..
Most mercenaries and soldiers will die, but it must be done for me and my comrades to survive.…….
“Shut up!”
At that time, a voice I had rarely heard rang in my ears..
“……Ute Kwai?”
“ Umm-”
I quickly turned around to see Utequai, a double-edged ax stuck in his shoulder, kneeling on one knee and groaning. The ax blade had gone deep enough that it was unclear whether it had touched the heart or not..
Now there was only one Dullahan left in front of Utequwai, but if he moved carelessly, his heart would explode..
“This is crazy,”
I quickly tried to run to him, but the Skeleton Knights blocked my path. The skeleton knight holding the 'Dead Man's Crossbow' also shot a crossbow at me as if he had been waiting..
“Pfft!”
He tilted his chin and narrowly avoided the bone arrow, then swung the morning star wide. The Skeleton Knights, who seemed to be about to attack at any moment, took a step back..
Crackling.
I can see clearly in their gestures that they are trying to waste time, and it makes me grind my teeth..
I can't help it.
A surprise attack on Dullahan using Aelophos. this is my last chat.
If you take out the Dullahan within a couple of breaths, you will be able to find a way out, but if you don't, you will be stranded by the Skeleton Knights' pincer attack. Then you will be buried in the endless zombie army..
“Phew.”
Finally, I catch my breath.…….
For some reason, one side of my vision is itchy..
I unconsciously made a stupid noise and turned my head. The sun was rising on the right of the two paths leading into the monastery..
“......Uh oh?”
I feel dizzy due to momentary cognitive dissonance..
“The sun is rising?”
Has time passed that much? It's still winter, so the sun doesn't come up until 7 a.m., so why in the middle of the night??
furthermore… … Is that the west? At that moment, a ray of light stretched out from the distant sun and illuminated the banshee..
kkieeeeek-!
The scream it made this time was not a trick filled with evil energy. It was literally the death knell of a person facing extinction, who cried out in fear..
Ughhh—!
From afar, frozen corpses were swallowed up by light, leaving behind helpless cries. Suddenly, the sun rose and consumed the darkness..
No, he was running this way..
Fifteen horsemen are riding this way, driving the sun..
= = = = /
7"『'『〒/
The riders who filled the angled road crossed the road, showing off their white light and pushing away the darkness..
My eyes naturally fell on the center and leader of the jockeys..
“Glory to the Lord!”
A loud voice. It was a woman's thing..
“To them, rest!”
Ghelan, that is, the language of the Mitergeland..
“And for me, there's only honor!”
At that moment, I was certain of their identity. Paladins of the Kaldandari Church, and the ‘Anointed One’’.
first
The sun radiated its rays once again. The wide path leading from the ranks of the Holy Knights to the entrance of the monastery, all the dead inside were burned and scattered..
I stood there dazed in the sacred flames. Instead of burning me, the fire was taking away even the slightest scratches..
Utequai, who was kneeling on the other side, also made a 'kwaa' sound and pulled out his axe, and the wound healed before even a few drops of blood flowed..
Meanwhile, the morning star in my hand gradually lost its light. It was natural as the surrounding evil was wiped out, but on the other hand, as the name of the long sword suggested, it seemed like it was hiding itself from the sun..
While I was looking down at the morning star, the waves of undead were melting away or scattering..
Not only the banshee, but also the Dulahan who was aiming for Utequai's head was eaten by the sun..
Taktaktaktaktaktaktaktaktaktaktaktaktaktaktaktaktaktaktaktaktak.
Among the paladins who had already slowed down, the one in the lead approached, holding the reins..
“ you?”
A bright and clear voice.
Before I knew it, a Holy Knight wearing the 'Holy Sun' at the end of his spear had come up to about 5 or 6 meters in front of me and was looking down at me..
Do you need treatment??”
“no, no.”
I was startled, shook my head and opened my mouth..
“My name is Phoenix..”
“indeed.”
There was laughter in the short voice. She took the reins and came a little closer to me..
“As I heard from my mother-in-law, you are a devoted knight..”
The full helmet with the cross symbol was removed, and light blonde hair, resembling the sun she set, poured down like a waterfall..
I quietly knelt down on one knee, looking up at her face, both literally and metaphorically glowing..
“It's an honor to meet you..”
“do you know me?”
“yes.”
I lowered my head and blinked, then looked up at her again. Perhaps she had just adapted to the light, but her face appeared a little more clearly..
“This is Princess The Odora, a Holy Knight of the Calandari Order..”
Princess Theodora, who smiled gently as if she was answering the question, was dozens of times more beautiful than what she saw through the monitor..
