The Blood Knight’s Villains - Chapter 288

My Villains Episode 288

53. The Midnight Sun (7)

Luke fell backwards with blood spurting from his throat. It was a bundle that stabbed him.

Instead of chasing after him and twisting the dagger tucked under his uvula, Mungchi quickly rolled back.

Wedge! A trident emitting an eerie purple light and a glaive enveloped in red steam swarmed the space where she was.

They are weapons with the names of ‘Ecstatic Death’ and ‘Blood Vanguard’ respectively. These legendary magic tools, which were made in ancient times and have not lost their majesty until now, were unfortunately held in the hands of only skeletal knights, not legendary heroes.

It was a situation where life would be endangered even if it brushed against either the ecstatic death or the bloody vanguard, but the cold sunken gaze of the mungchi was still fixed on Luke.

“Kerruk-”

he put a gloved hand in his throat, which was gushing blood.

He remained conscious even as his aorta split and the poison spread. It was to prove that his vitality was not at the level of a criminal.

Luke, who had fallen off the Ghost Steed, swung his white staff while spitting blood. From his head, the ‘Crown of the Ancient Ruler’ emits a gloomy light, releasing the spell he was holding.

A lump of dark green slime flowed from the tip of the wand with a grotesque sound .

Next blow! The slime, which split as if it were about to explode, shot straight into the bundle.

“ O ”

Ungchi, who was just getting up, twisted his shoulders and bent his back to avoid the four arrows of acid. The slime that flew far away and knocked on the outer walls of the monastery made a bloody sound.

The Skeleton Knights attacked, aiming for the gap where the bundle twisted. The headless knights ‘Dulahan’ also launched an attack by lowering their massive bodies from their ghost warhorses.

Wearing shiny black armor and wrapped in smoke flowing from their joints like a cloak, the Dullahans held severed heads in their left hands and brandished huge double-edged axes with their right hands like canes.

Moongchi was unable to move due to attacks from all directions. Six or seven weapons brutally tore her apart.

“Geez.”

The Skeleton Knight, who held the extremely sharp ancient sword ‘Geogu’, crackled his empty teeth following a stupid sound. It was because the small human who should have been cut by his own sword and poured out blood and screams had disappeared like a mirage.

Like a cicada shedding its skin, Mungchi, who jumped high leaving behind an afterimage, gathered his mind and muttered a starter word .

The black leash around her neck vibrated loudly and faintly.

The mass that became translucent around the ‘blurring’ spell escaped the perception of the undead for a very short time. And in that moment, he twisted his body in the air and threw the dagger.

“Turn it off.”

Luke swung his wand again and pulled out the bones and flesh from the ghost steed I was riding and wrapped them around his body. Just when the corpse’s armor began to cover the upper body and then the neck, the dagger left the bundle’s hand.

The Skeleton Knights and Dullahans were blocking Luke’s way, but the dagger thrown by Bunch flashed past them.

Pak!

Luke, who was clinging to the wound, vigorously bent his neck back. With a dagger stuck in his forehead, he lay down in the snow without being able to scream.

At the same time, the death knight turned to Luke, making a sound like a thick pane of glass vibrating.

“Are you selling your eyes?”

Phoenix, who faced the death knight, pulled out the second sword, ‘Black Ice’. The longsword with the heart of the glacier was covered in blood. In an instant, an ice blade lengthening up to 2 meters rushed at the death knight.

Kagagak!

The death knight had just cut a blade of black ice with a two-handed sword that scattered smoke. And he stretched out his left hand. A black shockwave exploded and all sorts of curses rained down on Phoenix.

Kii-i-!

Following the deafening tinnitus, my back stiffened, my eyes were blinded, helplessness wrapped around my arms, and nausea hit my stomach.

“Ouch”

Staggered back, Phoenix resisted the curse by raising his magical power. He even bit his tongue to regain his composure.

The death knight tried to finish him off, but Phoenix, who held the morning star and the black ice, immediately recovered his stance and gained momentum. Plus

“ReQ’te not (look at me)!”

Just like Phoenix did a moment ago, the Great Warrior of the grassland was also throwing himself out of the castle.

Utequai raised his magic power and surrounded him with the gray wind characteristic of steppe warriors. A force of sometimes conforming and sometimes defying was enveloping him.

“Woooooooooo-!”

The goddess champion felt a sense of exaltation and put power into her feet. So, the moment the 180-kilogram huge body slammed into the snow-covered ground,

a rumble-!

A small earthquake occurred.

Sensing a strange power flowing through the ground, the death knight inflated his cloak like skin-like wings and floated.

However, Dullahan and the Skeleton Knights were unable to react to him. Caught up in Utequai’s ferocious stomp, the undead staggered as if they would collapse at any moment.

“Phoenix, bow down!”

A thunderous roar that instantly covered up the screams of the Banshees.

Phoenix, who had just shaken off the curses, looked back at the deafening voice and

said,

“This crazy bird, TI-” .

Quaaaa—

Right after that, a chain whip as thick as a long forearm swept through tens of meters surrounded by flames. The snow that covered the ground hit the flames and spewed white steam.

Fast!

In the thick mist of water, the Skeleton Knights caught in chains rolled on the ground with a cheerful sound. Dozens of zombies wandering around were also caught in the hellfire and burned.

Boom!

The unstoppable advance of the whip was blocked by Dullahan, who used the severed head as a shield.

The chain that hit the blue head was wrapped around the dulahan.

“right!”

Utequai pulled the chain whip abruptly at the heavy sensation transmitted from his fingertips. The huge dullahan, three meters tall, rolled across the ground noisily like an empty oak barrel.

However, as one of the most powerful minions of the King of Death, Dullahan prepared a counterattack even as he was dragged away in flaming chains.

The bastard threw down the cumbersome axe. And instead of resisting the pulling force, he instead threw himself forward. It was to use its huge body to crush the opponent.

It wasn’t a good judgement.

“Ha!”

Utequai, the master of Nabuk, greeted Dullahan with a ferocious sneer. With his left hand still gripping the infernal scepter, he stretched out his right hand and grasped Dullahan’s forearm.

Whirik!

Utequai stepped up with a nimble motion and knocked Dullahan over in one fell swoop. And hit the back of the fallen guy.

Wearing all sorts of witchcraft, Dullahan boasted bones as hard as steel, but-

fast!

My back broke with an eerie sound that gave me an intuition that something was wrong. It happened in just three or four breaths.

No, the opponent was Utequai, who boasted the strength of a giant, so it was a great thing to endure that much.

While the Great Warrior of the steppe folded Dullahan back and forth-

Chunche flung herself back like a swallow, and Phoy Nyx, who stepped in front of her, faced the Skeleton Knights staggering and raising their bodies.

“Damn it all go away-!”

The Skeleton Knights, dressed in incongruent flashy equipment, somehow grabbed Phoenix’s ankles, and the Death Knight flew off and landed next to his master.

The death knight made another strange noise and pulled something out of the wreckage of Luke’s ghost steed.

Phoenix was looking at them with a sidelong glance while driving the Skeleton Knights. Thanks to this, he clearly recognized what the stone slab was.

“…It’s an X-arm tombstone. Why is that-”

While exclaiming astonishment, he poured out the red glaive with black ice and swung the morning star to blow off the head of the skull knight wearing the golden helmet.

The battle intensified, so I couldn’t keep watching, but I could confirm that something whitish was seeping into the stone tablet containing the death knight.

Phoenix could bet all his possessions and wrists that it was Luke’s soul.

“Hey you corpse bastard! Don’t play tricks and come here!”

The death knight who had collected the slate glanced back at the handsome man who was screaming out loud. The same red shockwave as before exploded, and Phoenix, embracing all sorts of curses again, backed away while babbling bickering.

Whoops.

With Luke’s corpse in his arms, the death knight inflated his black cloak and flew away. Then, looking down at the army of death that filled the four directions, he issued an order on behalf of the king.

___ 9999

A pale blue shockwave exploded.

A moment of silence passed.

Thousands of corpses of the dead staggered dazedly with their eyes covered over their heads and shoulders.

And all at once they opened their mouths.

That’s how

the offensive started.

氷 氷 氷

“Such a fucking bitch-”

I cursed with every exhalation and swung the morning star and the black ice frantically.

I’m still distracted by the skull gourds attacking in groups, but the Death Knight kid took Luke’s corpse and soul and ran away, pressing down the attack. Thanks to

that,

the frozen zombies were literally attacking like a herd of dogs.

Boom/

A spray of blood burst from the outstretched palm nervously. Dozens of zombies became rags as if they had been swept away by shotgun blasts or claymores.

“Ugh. *Tattak* That’s it!” Armed with unique or rare equipment, the Skeleton Knights have been relentlessly wielding their weapons without being swayed by the blood. In addition, even the Dullahandeul were rushing at me with a dull step, so I couldn’t come to my senses.

“Hahaha! Hatanka’aO Su—ray!”

Some madman from behind swung hellfire with both feet planted on the frozen ground. If it wasn’t for that, I would have been swept away by this wave right away.

“Po Poi.”

When I quickly turned around at the tired voice, Mung-chi, who was holding a sword and guarding my side, had a pale face.

“What are you okay? Are you hurt?”

“No, I can’t breathe.”

Tired of the quick battle, the guy made a sound like his tongue was twisted. Only then did I realize that he was poisoned by the ‘fog of corruption’ that flowed from the dead bodies of the zombies.

“Ugh shit.”

It bleeds to the full, lengthening the black ice and sweeping the front. The ice blade that sliced through the zombies went wild! It was smashed with a loud sound.

“Huh,”

I focused my mind for a moment.

The raised magic power is converted into blood energy through the heart. A shard of ice made of blood was placed under my control.

the ensuing explosion.

Kwakwawang!

He picked up the staggering bundle behind an explosion that seemed to have gone off like four or five grenades all at once.

“Utequai!”

He nodded at my shout and swung his chain whip wide, scattering fireballs everywhere.

As I ran towards the monastery, the confier lowered the rope as if he had been waiting for it. Thanks to that, I was able to climb the curtain wall in an instant.

“You forgot, sir.”

A middle-aged cathedral knight, Sir Kabar, greeted me with an embarrassed face.

“To my shame, I poured out my anger in vain. Why didn’t you give me a word in advance?”

“The enemy must be deceived only when the allies are deceived. And that’s not what’s important now.”

I reached out my hand to Utequai, who came up behind me, and continued.

“How long can you maintain this divine barrier?”

Instead of answering, Lord Kabar looked up at the night sky. Banshees, ghoul spirits, burning skulls, and all kinds of undead were burning my body and tearing at the five-colored curtain of light.

“I don’t know.”

“Don’t you know?”

“Because it’s rare to open a sacred barrier in the absence of the Holy Son…

Damn it.

Wiping his face, he confirmed the divine barrier. The reason why he asked Lord Kabar a question in the first place was because the holy barrier, facing the undead attack, was shaking dangerously.

“You must prepare for the worst.”

“…I agree.”

I looked back at the mercenaries under my command and the soldiers lined up on the curtain walls and towers. and shouted

“Raise your weapons! Prepare for battle-/”

The survivors who greeted the dead under the waving curtain of light raised their weapons with determined expressions.
