The Blood Knight’s Villains - Chapter 207

My Villains, Episode 207

, 45. Into the Fog (7)

“…Kuhmm.”

Reading the freezing cold and burning heat in Ellen’s blue eyes at the same time, I opened my mouth surprisingly brazenly.

“You don’t look good. what’s the matter?” As his big eyes slowly narrowed, he quickly added his words.

“Ah, did you walk a little? Does your leg hurt?”

As Ellen continued to remain silent, I approached him and grabbed him by the hamstrings and gave him a quick hug.

“Ugh, what are you doing?”

“huh? Didn’t your leg hurt?”

“No, put it down!”

“Stay still. It reminds me of the old days and it’s nice.”

“

Even formal struggles for a while.

Ellen, who was sitting on my arm, kept her mouth shut with a sullen expression as usual. Of course, I didn’t stop talking to him.

“Does Ellen still smell the water?”

“…huh.”

“How much?”

“Just a subtle amount.”

“Ugh. Does the magic of the spirit world still remain?”

“of course. Or did the fog just slide away like that?” I asked Ellen, scratching my brow as the pouty answers continued.

“Um, is there something wrong with you?”

“……what.”

“It’s written all over your face. Like, ‘I’m worried about something’.”

The guy who had been smacking the inside of his lips let out a sigh and nodded his head.

“It’s just a little frustrating.”

“why?”

“Um, that’s… yes. There are too many insecurities.”

“Anxiety factor.”

I slowly turned my head and looked behind me. The one that caught my eye was the vampire Kelsene.

Wearing a tattered surcoat, her arms were tightly bound with thick ropes.

It was Gidon who was holding the end of the tight rope, but he was aiming a heavy crossbow at Kelsene’s back. Of course, what protruded from the tip of the crossbow was a silver arrowhead.

I slowly focused my mind.

Unlike when Tenbierma’s spell, ‘Cloak of the Moon’ was working, Kelsenne felt a little bit of a human spirit.

“…not much has changed? I am on the verge of dying.”

“That’s not what I said. No, of course that vampire should be vigilant too.”

“then?”

Ellen began to speak out as if confessing.

“For now, that kid.”

Following his gaze, I narrowed my brows.

“Alena?”

“To be exact, it is the spirit dwelling in him. The way he talked to you about Blackwood, and the way he longed for something… It must be a spirit that has awakened its ego.”

“A spirit that has awakened its self?”

“okay. And I don’t think he’s very normal.”

Ellen deliberately lowered her voice.

“Imagine that a spirit powerful enough to create such a passage is mad. I’d rather be a ghost or a demon.”

I nodded my head obediently.

“i think so too. If it was a good spirit, it wouldn’t have nested in a child’s body and acted on its own.”

Is it because you struggled earlier? Ellen’s hair was messy here and there. I stretched out my fingers and brushed the tangled part out.

“Uh ha, 5

“But right now, Alena, no, Alena’s dwelling spirit needs help.”

“Tickle a minute-”

“And Utequai is watching, so if something happens, we’ll handle it. Don’t worry too much.”

“……Yes.”

Perhaps thanks to the calm conversation, Ellen’s eyes were slightly relaxed before she knew it. He shook his head, tidied up his bangs, and spoke in a small voice.

“Actually… Hale is also annoying.”

“Heyla?”

“huh.”

I involuntarily turned my head to look at Heila.

Heila, who had been walking with the one-eyed Simos Veteran Confair heavy duty officer Dervish, made eye contact with me and blinked her eyelids a couple of times.

For a moment, too, she blinked at her usual slow pace. By all means, ‘What are you looking at?’ I turned my head to the gaze that seemed to ask.

“why? What bothers you?”

“That’s it,”

Ellen, who had been choosing her words for a while, looked sideways at me before opening her mouth.

“…Uh, those gloves.”

“Gloves? Ah, the Milky Way’s glove?”

“huh. It’s a dangerous thing.”

what’s dangerous It’s practically the same thing as a pistol.

“That’s true, but… since you’re feeding him a potion of magic suppression, it’s not something you can use at will.”

“It sucked mana from blood.”

“Isn’t that a matter of gloves?”

“You use that magic to use your gloves, how come it’s not a problem with your gloves, you idiot

.”

When Ellen tried to raise her voice again, I quickly nodded.

“Of course you are right. But the one Heila attacked with the magic tool was an enemy, not an ally?”

“Do you think that will happen in the future?”

“…well I hope so. Since I was sworn in, I want to believe it.”

“It’s just an oath.”

“A wordless oath? The ‘oath of blood’ is quite fundamental between Zahakar and Baluin…

I quickly changed my words after seeing the blue eyes radiating cold air.

“Uh, of course, those traditions and ostentation aren’t important. After all, it is people who keep their oaths. hmm.”

As Ellen’s eyes softened, I tapped her calf with the hand that supported her.

“I know what you want to say. I know how dangerous Heyla is.”

“I don’t think you know.”

“Really. And” I whispered in Ellen’s ear.

“Don’t worry too much, I’ll use my hands if you feel the slightest bit strange.”

Ellen nodded her head, as if not arguing further.

But why is your face still like this?

“…Are there any more elements of anxiety still left?”

“O” Heh.

“What is that?”

Ellen looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“you.”

“……Uh me’?”

“huh. you.”

I quietly scratched my eyebrows.

“why me?”

“The subject who was thinking that there would be a dark knight in the dream land, but he is happy that there is this cat passage.”

“You said you were happy? I?”

“uh! With Moongchi just now-”

“With Moongchi?”

“……no.”

“why? It’s okay, so tell me.”

“I hate it.”

“Tell me. What am I doing with Mungchi?”

Ellen licked her lips with a look of resentment at my continued prodding, then lowered her head.

“…okay. It’s good that I’m so crazy. Does it make sense to hug and flirt like that in a situation like this? And if that’s not joy, then what is it?”

I was speechless and stared at Ellen. Ellen, who gradually raised her voice, met my gaze and trembled her shoulders before shutting her mouth.

For a moment, her pink lips moved cautiously.

“…What. Why are you not talking?”

“what. What you looking at.”

I took a quick breath and opened my mouth.

” hey.”

“What why?”

“Can I bite your cheek just once?”

In an instant, Ellen’s face contorted grotesquely.

“…What kind of bullshit is this all of a sudden?”

“I’ll bite you gently.”

“You crazy bastard go away!”

Ellen struggled desperately, but she couldn’t shake me off.

what can i do It is a situation where not only strength and physique skills, but also positions are being pushed back. Did you exercise if you felt unfair?

I let go of Ellen only after chewing, biting, tasting, and enjoying it.

“Ah.”

Normally, he would have been trembling in a very fucking light, but the guy who slowly loosened up just leaned against me with his limbs hanging down.

When Ellen became so quiet, I patted her on the back and opened my mouth.

“I know.”

w……2”

“I know that the road we are on is dangerous. No, I know better than anyone here.”

The half-open eyes returned to focus and sparkled like sapphires.

“You’re talking about the ‘Play of Prophecy’.”

I once told a story about Earth to fool the soul shaman, Karamek. At that time, you described the Dark World as a game of prophecy.

Those who were present at the time did not ask any particular questions, or even if they did, they did not ask any specific questions.

Except for the two, Atalanta and Ellen.

I told Atalanta, who was curious about the prophecy, a piece of the truth, and Ellen, who was curious about me, a half-truth.

“pee. Lower your voice.”

Ellen’s eyes, closed and closed, were filled with anticipation. Upon discovering that, I smiled bitterly.

“I’ve said it before, but the memory is a bit hazy. There are a lot of uncertainties.”

“Memories of Raven’s Cliff here? What about Saitsu and the Dark Knight?”

“This one is completely different. When I saw it as a game of prophecy, there was neither a dream domain nor a dark knight here.”

“Ah…

Ellen pursed her lips in disappointment.

“I thought you knew everything about the future.”

“I? Did you see that?”

“huh. I thought I remembered something because I had been doing bamboo statues all of a sudden and suddenly felt relaxed.”

…Is he really looking at me normally?

I scratched my eyebrows in embarrassment.

“The fact that I became relaxed was actually deliberately pretending.”

” on purpose?”

“huh. Anyway, there is only one way to go. In a situation like this, if I become anxious, will it do more than stir up the surroundings?”

I shrugged and Ellen fell silent. Then he narrowed his eyes and spoke.

“You are a difficult person to understand.”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“You seem overly conscious of other people’s gazes, but there are times when you aren’t like that at all… Oh, I don’t know, you’re just a bit weird.”

The boy shook his head after saying that. Then he rested his shoulder on my chest and his head on my shoulder.

“What are you doing?”

“Don’t talk anymore. I’m tired because you tortured me so much.”

Ellen closed her mouth after that.

Ha ha.” You believe in Ellen or Mungchi or cute things and do whatever you want. I’m very worried. I’m worried.

As I told Ellen, I was only pretending to be relaxed, but I wasn’t relaxed at all.

So while passing through Alena’s tunnel, all sorts of thoughts were running through my head.

That thought is

-The forest has already left, but I haven’t met the first pick, ‘Corrupted Guardian’. Is it just a skip?

– The second pick, ‘Spell Thief Sai Tsu’, seems to be in the castle, not the castle town… Wait a minute, does the castle town still exist?

-I have already dealt with the fourth picknam, ‘Three Brides’ and the chapter boss, ‘Vampire Lord Tenbjerma’. What happened to the third pick, ‘The Knight and the Dreamer’? Those guys are Tenbierma’s subordinates.

It was roughly like this.

My thoughts continued until the faint light disappeared through the dense fog and we set up camp on a dry hillside.

-There are about 10 random names that appear in Chapter 4. If you look at the experience, the most difficult person to deal with will appear, and then the candidate will be…

Could it be because of this endless thought?

By the time the night has passed and the dawn has risen, we are ready to move again.

Kung Kooung-

Even the faint footsteps that came out of nowhere made me guess at once what it was.

“Enemies! Scattered all over!”

Fortunately, the mercenaries had already taken enough rest and were ready to move. So he reacted promptly and promptly to my shouting.

Armed with sturdy shields and armor, such as Steedman, Veteran Conjurer, Fritz, Heavy Soldier, and Dervish, they lined up loosely in front of the hill.

Lightly armed, freckled, mummy heavy swordsman Umberta, chubby Eson, and one-eyed Simos were scattered in the middle and on both sides of the hill.

Cole the archer and Gidon the crossbowman, the imprisoned vampire Kelsene hid behind a half-crumbled stone wall.

While the mercenaries were busy moving, I lowered my backpack, grabbed three javelins, and walked forward.

“Go to where Cole is joining Ellen! Hide with Heila Ai! Utequai, come quickly!”

Alena’s tunnels were still wide, so there was no shortage of fighting space. However, the fog was so thick behind the hill that it was virtually impossible to escape.

Kung Kung Koo-!

The sound of footsteps coming from beyond the distant tunnel in the fog gradually grew louder but faster.

“Come here, Alena.”

Heyla beckoned, and Alena looked up at Utequai with tears in her eyes.

“mister.”

“There is no need to be afraid.”

Utequai grinned as he adjusted his steel formal cap.

“It will be over soon. Go ahead.”

After a moment of hesitation, Utequai tousled her hair, and Alena nodded and grabbed Heila’s outstretched hand.

“…Wait a minute, Heila.”

Eyes darker than the night sky turned to me.

“just in case.”

I took a small glass bottle from my waistband and threw it. Of course, Heila thought it would be nice to receive it, but

“……2”

She just blinked and watched the trajectory the glass bottle drew.

Crisp. The glass bottle, which fell to the floor and hit a rock, broke just like that.

I was dumbfounded and asked Heila.

“Why don’t you take it?”

“…You threw it all of a sudden. Without warning.”

“what?”

“Next time, hand it over. I am not good at this.”

I burst into laughter at her words. Either way, Haila crouched down in front of the broken glass bottle.

“Blood.”

“Yes, it is blood. I made it at dawn in case you didn’t know, but it’s a shame.”

“There is no need to regret it.”

With that, Heila put her index finger on the dirt floor.

The blood seeping into the ground flowed backwards through her long fingers and split into five. And he was swaying and wrapping his fingers around it.

“Very sticky and thick.”

Heila said and stood up. She blinked slowly as she looked down at the five red rings on her right hand.

…Even though his expression is the same as usual, he somehow seems happy. Maybe it’s because of the mood?

“Thank you, I will write well.”

Heila left without saying that and walked away with Alena.

Shortly after the two disappeared behind a hill, the owner of the roar emerged from the winding tunnel.

Kung thump thump.’

It was a gigantic monster that looked three times the size of an elephant.

Hard gray scales wrapped around the body. A thick tail with many dragon-like spines. A dozen horns that started from the nose and ran up the spine.

“This X-arm is Drake.”

The ponytail Fritz, who was lying flat, spat out a double curse.

“What kind of dog is this? There is not even a stream around here, let alone a river.” As he said, Drake is originally a guy who lives near water. In the middle of the continent, it also means that it is not a monster that can appear in Gistol, a region that is soft with mountains.

Then why the hell did that drake appear here?

I looked at the person riding the drake to get the answer.

A purple velvet saddle rested on Drake’s back, in a small space between the back-to-back horns. And there was a person sitting there.

As befits Drake’s rider, In-young was acting very bizarre. He wore a black peaked cap with crimson feathers, wore a fancy robe with a collar as high as a peacock’s tail feather, and held a drake’s reins in his right hand and several golden rings in his left.

Kung Koo-

The approaching drake stood still at a distance. It was as if I found Utequai and I standing at the foot of the hill.

“Oh-!”

As if a speaker was placed in front of my nose, frivolous exclamations came through clearly. corporation刀｝?

“nice to meet you! Upon discovering this bizarre passageway, my curiosity and motivation surged! I had risen and walked recklessly, but wow, I really met an intelligent body! I-I didn’t know! Jung-words!”

“…a nerd.”

He nodded at Utequai’s murmur. In the meantime, In-young, who rode the Drake, continued talking in an exaggerated tone.

“Of course I didn’t expect it- I hope that it will come true! Your hope! That it wasn’t there! In that

sense, it must have been with the protection of the giant god-ancestral god that I met here! Really!”

…Ah, I hate to hear it.

Cracked voice Cracked vocalization Exaggerated emotions Unnatural intonation.

It was to the point where I felt uncomfortable because it seemed like a normal person with a lot of ambition was forcibly squeezing out her acting skills.

“Um, but I can’t see you very well. Oh trouble! I ask you politely, can I come a little closer?” We just frowned and didn’t say anything, but the guy on the drake said, ‘Oh thanks!’ shouted and hit the reins.

thump thump-!

… and looking back, it’s really big.

If you see that the distance is shortened by tens of meters in just a few steps, the stride length must exceed 4 to 5 meters.

I fidgeted with the javelin and slightly raised my voice towards the back.

“If they come in range, just shoot them!”

Whether by hearing or by chance, Drake stood still again.

It’s still a long way, but um, I think it’ll take less than 20 seconds to get here if Drake runs full force.

“Ah, cheap! The introduction is yet to come!”

Thanks to being close enough, I could finally see his face properly.

The face revealed under the black cone-shaped hat adorned with crimson feathers was not human.

“My name is Sole-Va! Sole bars are good, tore bars are even better! Call me whatever you like!”

I couldn’t believe he was talking. Because he was a dragon with the face of a lizard.

“May my friends from underground call me-”

No, does it make sense to use a lizard’s mouth to make a human voice? Isn’t it impossible due to oral structure?

Riding on the drake, Yongin flicked his forked tongue and spread his arms wide as if showing off himself.

“Starmaker Sole-Bar! Yes that is my nickname!”

‘Starmaker Soleva’. Worst random name you can meet in Chapter 4.

The red-scaled dragon continued with his vertical pupils, which are unique to reptiles.

“Now it is your turn. The lucky protagonists who met the stylish Soleva! what is your name? Yes?”

…well what?

Soleva is a really dangerous kid. Should we avoid a fight by talking?

I fiddled with the javelin and thought about it before taking a step forward.
