My Villains Episode 594

“eww,”
When I faced Achillemnur, I trembled slightly. It was an inevitable pressure..
I know full well that this is some kind of hallucination. I only shared Evie's memories through Iopiya's magic, so in reality, nothing exists before my eyes..
But knowing it with your head and feeling it with your body are two completely different things. No matter how much I reminded myself that it was an illusion, the power of the dark knight looking down at me did not diminish at all..
No, rather, it seemed to feel several times more intense than before. It is incomparable to when we first encountered each other about three years ago at the pass of Mt. Graduil. In fact, it was difficult to tell whether the Dark Knight's power and majesty had increased compared to before, or whether the memories left behind by Evie were so strong..
Achillemnur, who had been looking down at me silently, finally opened his mouth. No, strictly speaking, the guy who was looking down at Evie vibrated the bottom of his iron helmet..
-……It's okay. You've settled in well..
The low voice seemed to have passed through a broken soundboard, and was mixed with a lot of harsh noise. Although the voice was harsh to the ears, it was not difficult to read the satisfaction contained in it..
-This is the only way to put your puny spirit to good use. Know this, and follow me as you have hitherto..
The Dark Knight is both a powerful knight and a sophisticated wizard. The words he murmurs quietly become a spell in themselves. It becomes brainwashing that binds the soul..
-The rightful owner of the nine dimensions, the one who puts to rest the evil light, the origin of all justice... … . He is my only lord, and I am his most loyal knight. He is also the most astute agent.…….
I-no, Evey was just gaping at the whispers imbued with the magic of the dark world..
-He is also the most skilled craftsman. For me, you will become a needle that lifts well. It will be a solid master bedroom.…….
The dark purple eye light flashed again. From this point on, the vision that Iopiya had shared gradually became blurred, and finally dispersed like fog in the sun..
“What the hell is this.”
Iopiya, who suddenly cast a spell on me and shared my hallucinations, only showed signs of exhaustion, but Evie, who experienced the hallucinations herself, later had a seizure..
“Ahhh, uhhh, uhhh-!”
His entire body began to shake and his limbs began to flutter like an epileptic patient. He was rolling his eyes and clenching his teeth, looking like he was going to run out of breath at any moment..
“What is this- Evey, Evey! Come to your senses!”
I had to grab her and calm her down before she could even reflect on what she had just seen. Because she screamed so strangely, some of her subordinates on the ground floor burst into the wooden room..
“Nari, what is this?-”
“What about Gidon? Bring me Gidon!”
Gidon, a devout member of the Gwangmyeong Church, awakened his divine power during the Battle of Blades - or, to be more precise, while throwing a crossbow at the 'messenger of the dark world'. Of course, his power is not comparable to that of a formal priest, and is comparable to that of an ordinary cathedral knight, but he was actually the only priest among my close subordinates..
Goleman, Steedman, and others were about to turn around when I shouted for a therapist, but Iopya, who was quietly catching her breath, shook her head..
“No, I will do it..”
The guy, who had regained his usual clear eyes, muttered something quietly. Then, a light blue wind rose from the fingertips and enveloped Evie. Evey twitched a few more times, but soon became quiet as if she had fallen asleep..
I slumped down in my chair..
“……What kind of fuss is this again?.”
After biting the subordinates who had gathered in the small room, I asked what all the fuss was about, and Iopiya answered in a very confident manner..
“It's just like I said. I showed you the memories hidden in Evie's soul..”
“Still, what if I just cast a spell all over the place? You were embarrassed.”
“Oh, that’s… … . The inspiration given by Mother God is like the flowing wind. If I had missed that moment, I wouldn't have been able to capture Evie's hidden memories..”
For no reason, I frowned as I watched him pick up stories about God and inspiration. Is it a mistake if I feel like they are trying to silence me with a story I don't know much about??
“Then why is he doing this? Why are you having a seizure all of a sudden??”
“It's probably because it reminded me of a forgotten memory..”
“It's because of memory?”
“Well, to be more precise, the emotions contained in those memories are the cause. It looks like she encountered a very high-ranking devil, and as an ordinary woman encountering such a thing, she must have felt tremendous fear... … . It wouldn't be strange to feel a bit of shock in the process of reflecting on those feelings..”
“…….”
Iopiya must have noticed that the furrow between my eyebrows has become even deeper, and she quickly added, looking a little embarrassed..
“Oh, of course, I didn't know it would cause a seizure, but... … There is a high probability that this is a temporary phenomenon, so there is no need for Poynix to worry. Memories become dull over time, and so do emotions.-”
“therefore.”
I tried to speak in a calm voice and interrupted him..
“Are you saying that you forcibly brought out the terrifying memories that he had buried unconsciously? By massaging my soul as I please.”
“Uh, no, my magic doesn't work that way. Rather than bringing it out or kneading it, it is closer to a form of calling out or asking for something.-”
“Don't talk nonsense.”
Iopiya adjusted her posture and wet her lips in the unusual atmosphere. He glanced at the bundle as if asking for help, so I tapped the table. At the sound of a thud, the guy shrugged his shoulders sharply and lowered his head..
“……The context is the same.”
“Should I explain what you did wrong and why??”
I sighed lightly as he shook his head slightly..
In fact, this problem was predicted to some extent from the time the Liberty Solidarity was founded. When the pagan warriors who had been reduced to slavery by the spirit collar placed by Altenburg's father were restored with the help of Iopiya..
A soul shaman was the perfect person to take care of the wounds left on both the souls and minds of over a thousand slave soldiers, and since Iopiya also actively volunteered, he had no choice but to give her the job..
However, in the process, many slave soldiers suffered unexpected aftereffects, such as losing their minds, becoming vegetative, and even dying. Iopiya, who claimed to be a therapist, did not show it on the outside, but it is clear that she must have been quite shocked in the process..
I think this incident may also have had that effect. Since he still had the habit of massaging the souls of thousands of slave soldiers for treatment, he may have lost his ability to control soul magic..
“……Sorry, I was careless..”
Looking at his pale face later, I think my prediction was correct..
Even though he didn't shout out loudly, he already looked like he was in tears. Thinking that I am responsible for that mistake makes me feel weak.…….
“Still, I have to do my job.?”
“……yes?”
“I have a favor to ask from your brother-in-law..”
I patted my thigh with a stern look on my face..
“Come here now.”
“uh,”
Only then did Iopiya realize what I meant and stiffened like a broken wind-up doll..
“Poinix, no way.”
“Don't worry, I won't hit you with my hand..”
He pulled out the wooden sword he had brought with him from the inner palace and broke it in half. Iopiya's eyes shook violently at the sight of the oak club, which was thicker than her wrist, breaking like a corn can..
“Me, really.?”
“Uh, really. If I don't like it, should I leave it on? I'll tell it to Ute Kwai later..”
But I'm better than my brother-in-law who beats me like hell in a square in broad daylight. Besides, there are no eyes to see here..
The guy must have made the same decision, shaking his head with a face that couldn't get any whiter..
Just as the water was starting to drain from the eyes of Iopiya, who was sitting with the backs of her hands under her heated cheeks, Evie, who had fainted, came to her senses..
Fortunately - no, not fortunately - the memories that Iopiya had forcibly revived remained. When Evey woke up, she trembled slightly as if she remembered the existence she had buried on the other side..
“Yes, I saw it. That devil.”
She did not know that the name of the entity was ‘Achillemnur’ or that such a being was called a dark knight. I was just remembering the terrifying demon I encountered while wandering through a strange dimension..
“Remember what that guy, that devil did to you?”
Evie swallowed dry saliva and nodded. Iopiya was blowing the light blue wind that I showed her earlier, and I was also trying to give her a sense of stability by gently making eye contact and speaking kindly..
“I gave an order. An order that cannot be disobeyed... … They told me to be the needle, the hour needle..”
“I know exactly what that means?”
“meaning… … I don't know about that. but…….”
“but?”
“Every time that devil came, my inner world expanded little by little. No, maybe it came to visit every time the underworld expanded.…….”
It felt like she was rambling a little, but I listened to what she said. And I was able to notice that there was a kind of 'law' clearly engraved in Evie's head about how the world works, so to speak..
