My Villains Episode 649
73. Army of Evil God(17)
‘As the name suggests, ‘Underground’ is an underground world that exists deep underground somewhere in Middle Earth..
The gigantic cavity tens of kilometers below the light-filled surface, the bizarre ecosystem that fills it, and the society of different races are collectively referred to as the underground..
Of course, an underground tunnel without a single ray of sunlight could not have been a good environment to live in. The earth has been the home of vicious creatures since its inception, and it was a world so harsh that the races on earth could not even dare to set foot in it..
No, to say it's harsh might not be enough..
Burning rivers, slowly rising underground water, constantly shaking ground and cracks that deepen each time, evil natives and all kinds of monsters... … . Although it is definitely a part of Middle-earth, it is a place that would not be awkward even if it is called a 'cursed dark world' and treated as a second dimension..
Black fairies are one of the few inhabitants of that terrible underworld..
In fact, in the very distant past, black fairies were not just residents but rulers of the underworld. They established a strong kingdom, spread their power, and ruled not only Earth but all of Middle-earth..
However, no matter how strong a nation is, it cannot overcome the passage of time, and the Black Fairy Kingdom gradually declined. Bloody wars, unexpected divisions, and terrible disasters beset the kingdom without end..
By now, the fall of the kingdom was a story of the distant past, and most of the dark fairy cities located throughout the underground were destroyed, making it difficult to even find traces of them..
Now there was only one home left for them..
‘Villa Relax’.
It was the last city of the black fairies, a sacred haven blessed by a benevolent goddess..
Since Villarirax belonged to the goddess, governing the city was naturally the responsibility of the priests who represented her..
However, in dark fairy society, there was no law entrusting such heavy responsibilities to men. Moreover, the last city of the Black Fairies could not be entrusted to men who were cowardly, selfish and had no sense of responsibility, no matter how much they were priests..
The priests also knew this, so they gave up all authority in the city to women of ability and prestige..
The main characters were the matriarchs of six great families..
Of the six great families, two are 'old families' with roots in the dark fairy kingdom that fell thousands of years ago, another two are 'sacred families' that protect the goddess' sanctuary, and the remaining two were once on earth. It is a ‘family that returned’ to glory..
He belonged to the last of the families called Chisulio, who returned..
When the ancient empire was just beginning to expand, it was a time when disasters were frequent in the world. As a result, some black fairies abandoned their hometown and headed to the surface..
Even though Villari's children had to face the debilitating sun, they still believed that the earthly world was better than the harsh and cruel environment of the underworld..
They assisted the great Dragon Emperors, led the prosperity of the empire, and enjoyed great power..
And then, it faced destruction. A sudden and mysterious end that arrived with a strange light. Like other similar races, most of the black fairies on the ground disappeared without a trace..
However, only two families foresaw destruction and fled underground in advance, and Villarillax called them the 'returned families'..
Among them, the family of an influential governor named Chisulio ruled the easternmost coastal region of the empire for nearly 500 years for three generations. The reputation, prestige, wealth, and military power they had built up so far were cut in half as they fled underground to avoid destruction, but even if they rotted away, it was not difficult to join the ruling class in a city-state as small as the palm of your hand..
The Kisuliora family, which had newly taken root in Villarirax, called itself the 'Bloodline of the Storm' to honor its former glory..
Carisi and Ruesi were members of this Quisuliora family..
The sisters were bright and talented, as befits daughters of a great family. Carisi was 108 years old and Ruesi was 99 years old. Both had just become adults, but they were already recognized by everyone..
Carisi was the first Kirin child in the history of Villarillax to receive the title of Sword Demon at the age of less than 100, and Ruesi was a promising occultist even though he was less than that..
Sisters served the city by receiving positions commensurate with their origins, gender, and abilities..
While Ruesi, like other dark fairies, adapted to her given fate, Carisi always felt dissatisfied. Villarillax was too small for her, and life there was boring to the point of death..
Occasionally, when I left the 'tent' for hunting or scouting, or when I showed off my skills in the 'Arena of the Goddess', I was able to breathe a little, but that wasn't enough to completely quench my thirst..
As befits his lineage of storms, Carisi always longed for adventure and the land..
I dreamed of a sea with fierce waves under the dazzling sun, not a lake suffocating in pitch black darkness..
It may have been fate that a ‘prophet’ appeared before her..
The prophet was a priest of Villari.
At one time, he was favored by the goddess enough to preside over various festivals as a high priestess, but now he was old and weak, and was nothing more than a corpse on the verge of death..
As if he suddenly went crazy, he started talking nonsense in the square. Calling herself a prophet chosen by the goddess, she began talking about how the time had come to establish a black fairy kingdom on earth..
On the ground. It was like that in the distant past, but isn't it a land that has been especially taboo since the fall of the ancient empire?.
Moreover, Villarirox is both a city and a sanctuary, so unqualified people could not dare to set foot in it, or conversely, they could not leave it..
So, if an ordinary man had said such bullshit, he would have been immediately taken down and beaten, but he was a priest who even dedicated his name to the goddess. Even the matriarchs who lead the city couldn't stop him..
The residents of Villarillax thought that other priests would stop him or that the goddess would soon punish him..
But nothing happened.
The high priests and high-ranking priests who monopolized the goddess's favor did not even say a word about it, let alone come forward. The old man who called himself a prophet showed off his power and showed off that he was still in the arms of the goddess..
He even used a mysterious secret technique to open a portal. A portal that leads straight to the ground..
It was natural for foolish people to begin to be deceived by the words of the prophet. At first, the main group was men who were dissatisfied with their situation, but after some priests joined, even decent women became adventurous and joined the group..
The peak was Carisi. She, the daughter of a great family and a swordsman, set out to go to earth..
Naturally, the Kisuliora family was shocked. The elders, including the matriarch, desperately tried to stop Karishi, but to no avail. A grown woman has the right to decide her own fate..
Rather, her younger brother, Ruesi, unexpectedly joined the procession, and several blood relatives who admired the sisters followed suit..
Thanks to the sisters' joining forces, the prophet's followers grew faster, and hundreds of black fairies gathered in just 15 days..
The matriarchs naturally thought this was crazy, but they did not dare to stop the prophet because he spoke so confidently of the goddess's will..
Even the high priest, who showed up late, instead of scolding the prophet for inciting nonsense, publicly gave permission for him to go to earth..
However, he placed one condition. If I left now, I would never be able to return to Villa Relax again..
Most of the black fairies who gathered under those harsh conditions dispersed, but some, after much deliberation, remained behind the prophet..
They swore in front of several matriarchs and priests that they would never return to Villarillax again..
‘This was the birth of the ‘Cult of Oath’..
* * *
Not only I, but all the crew members who could understand Spakht were completely immersed in Ruesi's story..
Encountering a black fairy is a mysteriously unique experience, and as she mentions the unknown underworld, the black fairy's last city, and the fallen ancient empire, it was bound to be exciting..
The person who interrupted Ruesi's increasingly immersive explanation was none other than Carisi, the main character of the story..
“……Ugh, haha.”
“Here, the black fairy has awakened!”
At the shout of Simos, who was watching the Sword Demon, not only the crew but also Ruesh's gaze turned..
“J'har Vi! Yissi saōlom?”
“……Lueci? Gar skoros,”
I muttered foolishly and blinked for a moment. Carisi's eyes widened as if he understood the situation..
“Krugh, juo! Kori au mūniruos, j'nur osolomo!”
She screamed loudly and began to struggle as if in a fit..
“It's crazy, really.”
After muttering that, Simos swung his long sword without its sheath and struck Carisi hard on the head..
“Kaaak! Answer:!”
However, the Sword Demon showed no heed at all and fiercely exposed his fangs. Surprised, Ruesi screamed at her sister, but Carisi struggled desperately as if she had completely lost her senses at the sight of all the people around her..
“What the fuck are you saying? I can't understand a thing.”
As my face contorted, Master Hagni urged Ruesh to speak in Spakht while also quietly warning Carisi..
“Be quiet, black fairy. If you want to save your brother's life.”
“Hruja. Go away, human! Stormblood doesn't beg for life!”
My younger brother looked at us as if he was taken aback when he saw my older sister randomly saying 'Knock, kill me' and then quickly continued talking..
“Please calm down, Carisi. I can't die like this!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Carisi completely rolled her eyes and started scolding her. Again, it was their own language, but I could roughly infer that it was a criticism..
“Yeah, I know what you're saying. But Carisi, isn’t it unfair that you die because of that guy’s orders? I couldn't even see the river on the ground, let alone the endless sea.!”
As Carisi was responding, Simos kicked her in the back..
“Spakht.”
“This is a human being who feeds bugs-!”
“Good job. Keep using Spakht.”
After arguing for a moment, the Sword Demon gritted his teeth roughly and looked back at Ruesh, who was already struggling..
“Oh, this stupid thing. don't cry!”
“It's you who's stupid, you idiot! I left my hometown to die so foolishly.?”
“……eww,”
“Please, Carisi. Let's live. I don’t want anything else, so just stay quiet..”
“you are being deceived Dirty people will use you and kill you.!”
“Maybe not, yeah?”
“Idiot… … . The second rule on earth is not to trust humans.!”
“but-”
Ruesi, who was shedding tears, pursed her lips for a moment. Then he glanced in my direction and continued speaking..
“It's faint, but it smells familiar, of my own people..”
“……Skoros? Ujaga,”
“From that person.”
The Sword Demon turned his head to follow his younger brother's gaze and made eye contact with me..
……smell? What kind of bullshit is this again??
