The Blood Knight’s Villains - Chapter 291

My Villains Episode 291

53. Midnight Sun (10)

Phoenix shouted from the top of the gate tower of Seteniora Monastery.

“Push away—!”

At his shouting, mercenaries and soldiers gritted their teeth and brandished their weapons, but the undead, who were not afraid of death, endlessly climbed the castle.

“We need more support here!”

“There’s nothing like that, so push each other! Don’t be afraid of those zombie bastards!”

The bastion protruding to the left of the gate tower where Phoenix stood was already occupied by zombies.

The soldiers were blocking it with their bodies, but despite the sergeant’s threats, the defense line looked as if it would collapse at any moment.

“Confidence!”

“Yes, come on!” Phoenix immediately muttered ‘Aello’ and boomed! rose up He crossed over such a complex wall at once and fell into a bastion full of zombies.

“Follow me!”

Among the frost-covered corpses, Phoenix wildly wielded two longswords and ran wild.

The morning star in his right hand made the blade brighter than a torch and burned away the evil energy. The black ice in his left hand was as long as a long spear and swept all over the place in a circle.

Whenever the two black and white swords flashed, as few as two to as many as ten zombies tumbled across the floor or fell out of the castle.

The limbs were severed, the torso melted, and the head blown off.

“Damn it-”

However, compared to the undead army now pouring in, the number of zombies Phoenix was killing was only a handful.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t completely stop the zombies from climbing up the curtain wall.

Nettle fluid-

Phoenix quickly leaned back at the shocking sound that sent chills down his spine. At that moment, a long bone arrow scratched the side of his head. It was a skeleton

knight

who had a bloody blood and stared at the bloody eyes.

It was clad in riveted armor, wrapped in a wide scarf like a hood, and was reloading a white heavy crossbow with pale smoke.

Phoenix traced his memory as Kim Seung-soo and realized that the crossbow was a rare object with the name of ‘Dead Man’s Crossbow’.

“Esson Javelin!”

“Here we are!”

After smashing the head of the zombie that had just climbed over the battlements with his polehammer, Esson kicked the leather case containing the javelin with his toe.

Stepping on the slippery leather shed with her feet, Phoenix raised her blood. Long, sharp icicles on the black ice shattered.

The dark red ice shards, which were broken into dozens of pieces, exploded all at once with a sharp roar just before scattering under the castle.

Geu uh uh—

corpses that had been hacked to pieces by the storm of blood splintered.

Taking advantage of that gap, Phoenix put the black ice into the scabbard and moved the morning star into his left hand. At the same time, he kicked a javelin protruding from the leather sheath with his toe.

Wedge!

Right after that, a solid black line was drawn on the battlefield where the red light shimmered. The javelin thrown by Phoynix flew like lightning and got stuck in the abdomen of the Skeleton Knight holding the crossbow.

Kwajik!

Following the cheerful sound, the Skull Knight with a crossbow tumbled terribly across the ground. However, Phoenix groaned and wrinkled his face.

“Gwuuu.”

As if to answer that groan, the undead dressed in dazzling equipment stood up as if nothing had happened.

Although the javelin was dangling from the armor, it was as if he had no skin, let alone internal organs, so it was virtually impossible to hit him. Unless his head was blown off or his back cut off, he would stand up and shoot arrows endlessly.

Phoenix, who went through this, threw a javelin again. Then, this time, the Skeleton Knight with no weapon and only a heavy shield stepped forward in front of his comrade. The javelin bounced off the heavy shield that looked like it was carved out of granite, leaving only sparks behind.

Next to the guy loading the ‘Dead Man’s Crossbow’, a skeleton knight holding a white wooden bow pulled an empty string. Then, the wind blew through the empty string, and a white arrow sprouted.

Phoenix, who confirmed where the rare magical longbow, ‘Boreakum’ was headed, screamed in astonishment.

“Protect the priest!”

The ‘priest’ he meant was an old monk standing on top of the door tower in the middle of the curtain wall. A veteran conductor flung his body in front of the old man who was still reciting prayers in a booming voice even though his throat was hoarse.

Bang/

The steel horns of the magic shield he held out flashed.

Thanks to the power of repelling magic, Boreakum pushed away the arrow of light, and Conwyer was able to easily withstand the shock.

“Let the forces of darkness kneel at the feet of the Lord! The all-enlightening light will annihilate you, and you dare not harm His people!”

The old monk, perhaps aware that his life was in danger, continued to shout in an angry voice.

A halo the size of his torso rose from his back and emitted white light.

Hey hey-!

Banshees and ghoul ghosts that were hovering over the curtain wall were stunned by the divine power and then screamed and retreated.

Most of the undead flying bodies that gnawed at the sacred barrier flew to the cathedral, but some flew over the walls.

Thanks to this, the garrison led by Phoenix had to block the zombies in front and at the same time keep in check the flying objects tickling the top of the head and back of the head.

It wasn’t usually difficult to deal with the shapeless ghosts that flew around like crazy.

Of course, the old monk was able to easily defeat them due to his deep discipline, but he seemed to have no time to worry about purifying the ‘fog of corruption’ emitted by the zombies.

Phoenix and Utequai had to block the zombies pouring in from the front while holding back the Skeleton Knights and Dullahans who were looking for an opportunity.

So, handling the undead aircraft became the responsibility of one person.

tadak.

A black figure soared from the top of the watchtower, which had been left empty because archers had joined the defense line with swords and spears. It was a bundle that recovered its condition with the monk’s treatment and Phoenix’s nursing.

Thanks to jumping from the high watchtower, the cluster of torches swam for a while between the bright ground and the cloudy night sky. Then, twisting his body in the air, he swung a short sword the length of his arm, ‘Woon Sword’.

Awesome!

A banshee got caught in a silver trail drawn in the night sky, and it was scattered like pass-sand.

The bundle was not satisfied with that. She stepped on her instep and jumped up once more, using the technique of ‘Sangcheonje (上天桶)’, launching like a swallow and swinging the cloud sword again. The silver blade tinged with blue light annihilated the banshee without fail.

When the second banshee was cut down, the bundle was floating in the air outside the curtain wall.

The oriental light-gong technique that Mung-chi showed off in a short moment was a novelty, but even she was unable to fly in the air. It was because stepping into empty space was a level that had only been passed down in legends.

Whirik.

Therefore, instead of stepping on the air, Mungchi twisted his body and stretched out his left arm. At the same time, something shot and hit the watchtower’s fence. It was a crossbow with a rope attached to it.

“Whoops!”

Holding onto the rope, the bundle drew a nice half circle and landed on top of the curtain wall. At the same time, she swiftly swung her sword and decapitated the three zombies that were attacking her.

“Oh, what is it?”

“Ooh ooh.”

Ignoring the soldiers who let out stupid exclamations, Mungchi swallowed a groan as he opened and closed his stiff grip. Although his strength had improved considerably, it was still difficult to sever three vertebrae in succession.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Thanks to Munchchi’s performance, there was only one Banshee left on the battlefield. The guy who watched the disappearance of his comrades didn’t even look near the curtain wall and only screamed over the heads of the zombies.

And in response to the evil will contained in the scream, the remains of the scattered zombies began to gather under the curtain wall. The wriggling flesh and bones were glued together by frost and rotten blood.

Occasionally, Phoenix’s longsword ‘Morning Star’ swallowed the purified corpse, producing smoke and melting the flesh it came into contact with, but that was only a small part.

In an instant, the wriggling pile of flesh rose to a height similar to that of a curtain wall. The soldiers screamed in astonishment when they saw the mass of flesh that strangely resembled a human shape.

“Ugh, that’s an abomination-evil!”

“fire! You must throw the torch!”

“No wait! Sprinkle with oil first!”

Among the frightened soldiers, the burnt Donel screamed and threw a jar of oil. Several mercenaries and soldiers followed him, pouring out jars of oil they had gathered on one side of the curtain wall and throwing torches at them.

Wow!

The flames quickly blazed fiercely, and the flesh quickly melted away. The abomination on fire screamed through hundreds of mouths all over its body.

Banshee, who had been projecting morale in the air to create red water, dragged not only corpses piled up under the curtain wall, but also zombies that were moving normally, and restored him. Snow and frost carried over the corpse and covered the flames. Thanks to the evil energy that spread across the battlefield, the beast grew in size even faster.

Kwuu-

The monstrous creature that rose more than 8 meters stretched out a mass of flesh that stretched like an arm. The soldiers’ faces were dyed blue at the heavy hand heading for the curtain wall.

“Avoid this man!”

“Come-Ah!”

Quaang!

The water, made from hundreds of corpses, crushed dozens of soldiers and hung them from the wall. At the impact, the curtain wall poured out pebbles and stone fragments as if it would collapse at any moment.

“hmm! It is a big game.”

On the other side of Phoenix, Utequai wielded a whip of hellfire and her eyes lit up. For a moment, he raised his mana and flung himself into the gray wind.

“Shiko rec’ne (look at me)!

A chain whip was wrapped around the monster’s neck. Utequai swelled his muscles red and pulled the chain. A mass of flesh as large as the citadel tilted forward.

As the abomination lost its balance, Utequai threw herself under the curtain wall, clutching the chain whip. Then, he landed, crushing the zombies.

Kwu-uk

Hong-mul clung to the curtain wall and stumbled. Then, as the chain around his neck spewed fire, he leaned forward as if shrinking from the heat.

“Graaaak!”

Utequai pulled the chain whip with a loud cry. The abomination fell backwards slowly, like a fat tower tipping over.

Kuuung-

“Uh ha-!”

Utequai sneered and ran as the abomination lay in the mud, a mixture of corpses and snow.

After bouncing off the surrounding zombies with bull-like momentum, he jumped up and stood on top of the monster. Then, gathering the whirling gray wind with his right foot, he slammed the monster down.

Kwurreung-!

With the stomping that shook the ground, the hideous mass of flesh exploded furiously.

It wasn’t just the bones and flesh disintegrated, but the evil energy that made the body move was shattered.

Utequai, who jumped out of the curtain wall, ran rampant like a titan in mythology and subdued the monster, but the crisis at the monastery was just beginning.
