The Blood Knight’s Villains - Chapter 203

My Villains Episode 203

45. Into the Mist (3)

Looking through the fog where Ja-wook descended, I suddenly tried to trace the memory of Kim Seung-soo in my previous life.

There was a town called ‘Uncheon’ near where I served in the military.

The neighborhood used to be heavily fogged in the morning and evening around early spring or late fall.

As the name suggests, clouds make up river, it really felt as if the clouds had landed on the ground. With a bit of exaggeration, it was to the point that I couldn’t see twenty steps ahead.

Therefore, when looking down from the top of the mountain, it seemed as if the water fog from the nearby lake and the mountain fog from the peak flowed and gathered into the Holler neighborhood.

It’s much worse now than then.

Even just standing still, the hem of the cloak was wet, and only vague silhouettes of those standing about 10 steps away could be seen.

The thick forest was still asleep as the sun, which had risen from the horizon, cast only a pale light.

…Can such heavy fog naturally occur? I think the sea fog in the middle of the sea will be less than this.

As I thought so, someone fell silently from the top of the spruce tree next to me.

“how is it’?”

What landed next to me silently was a bunch of women with black bobbed hair and youthful faces. The guy said ‘eh’ and chose his words, then answered with an ambiguous expression.

“Weird.”

“what?”

“I can’t see or hear anything. It’s like a wall, not just fog.”

“O uh”

—S.

The fog was a bit unsettling, and the expression on his face was not very good.

In fact, I also felt an indescribable sense of sinfulness. I don’t know if it’s because of this thick fog, because of the battle with Tenbierma’s followers, or because of the sudden twist in the scenario

.

“I’m not sure,”

Ellen, who had just been sitting on a tree stump to catch her breath, came this way.

“Probably not magic. I don’t feel any suspicious flow of magical power or artificial modulation.”

“…but ‘probably’? Aren’t you sure?”

“Because the sorcerer might have a much higher level than me. Of course, the chances of that happening are very low.”

As I was about to ponder again, a voice came from the side of the half-collapsed Oressa Bar due to the vamps rushing in like dogs.

“Phoenix! Come and see this.”

It was Utequai.

“why? What is it?”

“There are no vampires!”

“……what?”

what kind of bullshit is that

I scratched my eyebrows and looked back at Ellen and the bundle.

“I am meditating while resting. Bunch, you are next to Ellen.”

After turning around and entering the tavern, the first thing that caught my eye was Gidon, a crossbowman, praying while holding a rosary.

“Lord of justice and mercy,

please bring light and order to this world full of dust and evil-”

After passing him and the other mercenaries, I asked Utequai, who was making a serious expression inside the tavern.

“There are no vampires?”

“The vampire bitch. has disappeared.”

The vampire he was referring to was Tenby Erma’s third wife. Topelin, a beautiful girl wearing a blue coat over a white dress.

“What are you talking about? Why is he gone?”

“Look here, sir.”

The veteran conductor knelt on the floor and pointed somewhere. The building leaned and the roof collapsed, leaving several iron stakes stuck where it touched the floor.

“This is where the cursed bitch lay, but now it’s nowhere to be found.”

Just before being attacked by Tenbiarma’s followers, Topelin was abandoned. Gidon, the crossbowman, drove the iron stake so tightly that he couldn’t take care of her while leaving the tavern.

Nothing happens.” As I murmured and let out a deep sigh, chubby Esson, who was standing nearby, scratched his cheek and opened his mouth.

“I probably wouldn’t have escaped.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes Nari. There were four consecrated iron stakes, right? His head was also severed.”

Umberta, a female swordsman from the Crescent Islands, added that she agreed with Eson’s opinion.

“Since it was already in a weakened state, couldn’t it have perished under the collapsed roof?”

“Hmm well…

well, maybe. It was because he had already experienced enough and confirmed with his own two eyes that vampires do not leave a trace, let alone a corpse, when they die.

After a short thought, I shouted outside the tavern.

“Stidman Esanna-! Bring Kelsenne!”

Out of the fog outside the tavern, Steedman and Braided Esanna appeared, dragging a tail in black.

Tenby Erma’s first wife, Kelsenne, who originally boasted an alluring figure, had a haggard expression with a pale complexion. A silver sword was stuck to her neck and chest.

Two mercenaries kneeled Kelsenne in front of me. I silently looked down at her and quickly pulled out the short silver sword stuck in her throat. A small amount of smoke flowed from the wound as the blade came out and scraped at the bone and flesh.

“Heheheheheuk keek-!”

Kelsenne coughed and blew smoke from the wounds in her mouth and throat.

I looked at the silver sword pulled from her neck and told the mercenaries around.

“The three brides of Count Tenby or Mattianver or Lord Niterbellam are completely different from the low-class vampires that attacked you like a pack of dogs earlier.”

“Is it different?”

“So to speak, a higher level vampire. look at this You’re still alive even with a silver sword stuck in your neck and chest.”

At my words, the crossbowman Gidon quickly interrupted.

“Nari vampire has no life. So not ‘alive’, but simply ‘existing’-”

“Does that matter now?”

Fritz, the head of the horse who spat phlegm on the floor, frowned and bruised Gidon.

“The important thing right now is that there are vampires who can’t be beaten even with a silver sword stuck in their neck. This idiot.”

“I didn’t tell you Fritz, so shut up. If your mouth is itchy, go and suck some milk.”

“… such a dog-like bastard.”

Haha, these idiots.

I swallowed my curse and warned the two mercenaries.

“Giddon Fritz. Shut up both of you. Don’t make a fuss about it.”

When the two mercenaries, who were growling at each other, suddenly shut up, I added my words to Fritz.

“And what did I say if you spit indoors?”

“…Uh”

Fritz wet his dry lips and shrugged his shoulders.

“Isn’t it a bit like calling it indoors now? It’s such a mess.”

As he talked, he touched the dirt on the floor and the wooden planks of silver grass with his feet.

Even in the middle of that, when I sent a stare, Fritz’s face turned a little pale, and he crouched into a corner.

“Anyway, I don’t think Topelin died this easily. Even more so when you consider the vitality that somehow wriggled to regenerate the body even after being decapitated by Hrunting.” Gidon, the crossbowman, flinched at the expression ‘life force’ I said, but he didn’t say anything, as if he was paying attention.

“It’s strange that the vampires suddenly retreated.”

The main character of that calm voice was none other than Heila.

“Is it strange?”

“The hierarchy and command system within the vampire bloodline is stricter than you can imagine.”

Heila had already erected a chair and sat there, looking relaxed despite a series of circumstances. The way he looked at me with his legs crossed was also the same as usual.

“If the old knight, Sir Niterbellam, was the master of that vampire bloodline, then only Sir Niterbellam can disperse those who were drawn to his voice.”

“He is dead.”

“okay. Since you killed him, a successor might have appeared and become the owner of the clan.”

Heila looked away as she said that. The vampire, who had stopped coughing and was breathing, shook his shoulders startled at that gaze.

“What do you think, Kelsene?”

At Heila’s feminine question, Kelsenne swallowed dryly with a hard face.

Unlike the slaughterers earlier, as a vampire of a fairly high level, she looked exactly like a human. It wasn’t just their outward resemblance, but even their breathing and facial expressions.

…Well, you probably have similar thoughts.

I took a step closer to the hesitant Kelsenne and spoke in a whisper.

“Don’t just roll your head and tell the truth.”

“Is there any reason I should?”

“Why?”

I let out a bloody laugh.

“Of course it is.”

With that, I stabbed her in the eye with the dagger I pulled from Kelsene’s neck.

“Kkeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!”

Regardless of the tearing screams, I continued to move the dagger. Smoke rose as long, deep lines of blood were drawn on Kelsen’s shoulder, forearm and thigh.

“Stop *ahh* stop please-foot!”

Like a high-class vampire, she had strong vitality and considerable strength.

However, with the silver sword stuck in the middle of his chest and his whole body convulsed, he couldn’t use his strength properly.

In the end, Kelsenne only screamed helplessly with both shoulders weighed down by Steedman and Esanna.

“It hurts *sigh* it hurts, please stop… A

mature and noble beauty begged, salivating at the corners of her mouth. Even knowing that she had preserved her beauty and youth by devouring countless humans, sympathy suddenly surged up in her.

Fortunately, however, the sense of crisis weighing down my heart outweighed my sympathy. My sympathy was suppressed by the thought that if I showed mercy, being seduced by appearances, I might further ruin the already twisted scenario.

“Okay, I’m getting better.”

“yes yes…?”

“It’s a polite way of speaking. Do you like it.” At my soft tone, Kelsenne shook her chin and lowered her head.

“Okay then *hehe* stop now. It hurts so much *w* I think I’m going to die-”

Acrid smoke billowed up the white nape of his neck. Dark red bodily fluids and something whitish dripped down the back of his arrogant nose.

“…… Uh ”

丁That .

Unfortunately, her posture awakened something that was dormant in me. It was something dangerous that I didn’t know if it was Phoenix’s or Kim Seung-soo’s.

“I don’t really like that.”

“……yes?”

“Instead of ‘It hurts so much, I think I’m going to die’, try something else. A little uhm… something new and original.”

“What do you mean-”

The stupid question cut off immediately.

Kelsenne became lighter and screamed, and I continued to work while humming a song. The beautiful beauty and her oriole voice tasted very good.

The reaction of the other mercenaries was also quite good.

Steedman continues to hold on to Kelsenne, his complexion pale. Eson mutters that he is crazy. Esanna walks backwards while speaking in a northern dialect. Fritz sticking out his tongue with a wry smile Simos trembling his chin and touching the invisible last name engraved on his forehead Umberta looks at me with a somewhat greedy gaze

… I wanted to bring in all the merchants from the west of the Oressa Tavern family.

That doesn’t work. Because I don’t want Ellen and Mungchi to see me like this.

“Huh, go off-”

As the work reached its climax, a thick hand grabbed my shoulder. I turned around and saw Utequai staring at me.

“This is enough.”

“…Uh yeah. Is that so?”

Damn, I feel ashamed of that dark gaze…

After getting enough information from Kelsenne, who spews out everything she knows, we left the dilapidated tavern.
