The Blood Knight’s Villains

My Villains Episode 208

45. Into the Fog (8)

After taking a few steps forward, Soleva’s vertical pupils on a drake turned toward me.

Since there is still a distance anyway, it is impossible to attack first. Let’s get some information first.

Receiving Soleva’s gaze, I slowly opened my mouth.

“I am Knight Phoenix!”

“article?”

Seeing as he answered without raising his voice much, he must be using some kind of magic or using a magical tool.

“Yes knight!”

“Hoo. Then what about you-?”

Utequai, who was holding a dolme with both hands, opened her mouth with a reluctant face.

“Utequai! I am Utequa, the great warrior of the Rikuwa tribe!”

“The Great Warrior? Champion-un?”

Soleba is ‘Ooh!’ He let out an exclamation full of laughter and flicked his tongue.

“Knights and warriors! Interesting.”

I couldn’t see it clearly because of the distance, but it seemed that his vertical pupils were narrowing sharply.

“…But, unfortunately, now, not as a star-maker, but as a poor traveler! I must make a request to you.”

“request?”

“yes! Like most travelers away from home, I need a road. I need a peaceful trail that will lead me out of this infernal fog and home to my dear home!”

“however?”

“As I’m guessing, no-”

Soleva continued, patting her snout, not the back of her nose.

“If I smelled it right, did you say Sir Hoi Minh?”

“Phoenix.”

“Ah yes Lord Phoenix. In

honor’s business,”

Soleva lifted her arm and pointed upward with her finger. It seemed that long, sharp nails like hooks would touch the ceiling of the white smoke. It was because the drake he was riding was that big.

“It seems that someone created this road. Yes?”

As I remained silent, Soleva blinked her bloody eyelids and opened her mouth. Long spittle stretched out from the tip of sharp teeth.

“Jeong-daap!”

…Is that a smile?

“Right? Yes? The look on your face makes it clear!”

He said, ‘Hey!’ and burst into laughter.

“I am happy to confirm that both my sense of smell and magical literacy are normal! I was worried that I might go out of my mind after wandering in this crazy fog for days!” Soleva, whose face was contorted into a grotesque shape, scratched her stomach with her hand holding the reins. Hearing his voice makes me feel very good.

Soleva, who had been celebrating for a long time, suddenly stopped laughing and placed her hands on Drake’s spine.

“Now then- I respectfully ask you, could you please clear the way for my return?”

I quietly scratched my eyebrows and shrugged my shoulders.

“I’m sorry, but that’s not possible.”

“…yes? What does that mean?

”

“Then…

“You have to follow the passage all the way to get out of this fucking fog. That’s the only way.”

I continued, pointing backwards with the tip of my thumb.

“See that aisle is closing over there? Doesn’t it sound like you’re urging us to move forward quickly?” Soleva, who was quietly looking behind me, waved her hand, jingling the golden rings she held in her left hand.

“As someone familiar with Soleva magic, I can’t understand it. I’m sure you were the one who broke through the passageway, but to get out of here you have to walk all the way down the passageway?”

“That’s… well, anyway, that’s the case.”

“That’s an incredibly weak answer. It’s disappointing, Sir Fomin.”

…who else is Phomin?

Well, that’s not what’s important now.

“I can’t help but be disappointed.”

I secretly clasped and opened the hand holding the javelin and continued.

“If you want to return to your dear hometown, follow this passage all the way. Then a castle will appear, but if you kill the owner of the castle, this fog will disappear. Is it easy?”

Soleva’s face contorted again. Unlike before, there were ugly wrinkles on the bridge of the nose.

“It’s a castle. You mean to go into the center of the mist?”

“okay. Or get out of this passage and

wander into the fog again.”

“This is crazy.”

“What do you mean? It’s a mist that chills your spine.”

“no. I am not talking about fog.”

Soleva slipped the reins and Drake moved slowly. The soles of his feet, which were twice as large as the modest length of time, left deep marks on the damp road.

“Ha Gan is also big. Are you going to the castle? Do you know what’s in there’?”

“…Well, well. What do you have?”

“I don’t know either.”

What is this climb? Talk like you know.

As I narrowed my brows and opened my mouth to say something, Soleva narrowed her pupils and added words.

“But as I just said, there is nothing wrong with my sense of smell and magical aptitude. Thanks to that, I was able to smell the ominous smell in the castle you mentioned, and I also found out who the owner of the smell was.”

“…Who is that?”

Soleva’s face was terribly distorted and her long tongue flicked out.

“Darkness that swallows light, the true master of the ninth dimension, the antagonist of Nakto, the origin of all evil.”

Soleva changed her expression, as if my stiff face was very nice to see. A gross distortion that has already been shown. It was a smile.

“okay. I felt the power of the ‘Dark Lord’.”

“Of course, the Dark Lord didn’t directly manifest in Middle-earth. It is probably a trace left by his servant. But that’s it. Anyway, the castle you mentioned is under the dark lord’s plans. To attack a place like that?”

The red-scaled dragon continued to speak with a snarl, discarding both the lively tone and the polite way of speaking.

“You cannot fool me. No one on earth dares to do that.”

“stop!”

It was none other than Utequai who yelled at Soleva. He warned Soleva while holding the dolma in both hands.

“Stop there! If you come closer, we will attack!”

indeed.” Pulling the reins, Soleva stopped and looked down at Ute Quai.

“You have the spirit of a warrior. Do you like it.”

He hissed as if he was licking his lips, then lifted his chin slightly. And it was to examine the hills that stretched behind us.

“So I’ll give you a chance. Bring the magician who made this passage. I have something to ask him.”

“Darran sidym couldn’t ask for more from us! Back off!”

“You fool, you did not understand what I meant. I am not making a request.”

Soleva looked down at us, her dark eyes flashing under her black peaked cap.

“If you want to save your life, give me a sorcerer.”

…Hmm, I waited for a while to see if I could use it, but I guess I was wrong.

“Erpen Th-ral! You cannot intimidate us!”

“Wait Utequai-!” After barely drying Utequai, who let out his anger, I turned to Soleva.

“You too, stop! I will teach you another way!”

“other way?”

“A way out of here! It is impossible for us, but possible for you.”

“…what is that?”

When Soleva showed curiosity, I continued my conversation as I moved slowly.

“Before I teach you how, do you know what caused this fog?”

“…I’m just guessing. Isn’t the owner of this territory, a vampire, doing something stupid?”

“Similar but slightly different. That vampire created a quasi-dimension for my greed, and the dark knight took it away.”

“The dark knight…

Soleva opened her mouth a little and nodded.

“Right. That’s why I felt the power of the dark lord.”

“The Dark Knight’s name is… they say ‘Achillem Nur’. Do you know?”

“Um, I don’t know. Dark knights are hard to come across even underground, and it’s not common to hear their name… But why did the dark knight appear in such a mountainous territory? What the hell is going on here?”

“I don’t know. Do you have any guesses?”

w O ugh” —

Soleva crossed her arms in silence and scratched the nape of her neck with her clawlike claws.

He said, ‘Let’s see. From what I’ve been touring here lately-‘

By the time he muttered, I was 450 meters in front of him.

As I moved quietly, I was correcting the javelin hidden behind my back when I accidentally met Drake’s eyes.

Kreur-

Did you read something in my eyes? Drake growled suddenly and shook his head.

“Stop this Chialemo!”

Soleva, who was lost in thought, pulled the reins, but Drake continued to make a ferocious sound like scratching his neck.

“Cialemo Cialemo! Why is this guy all of a sudden-”

Suddenly, the vertical pupils filled with wonder turned this way, and I stepped on the large rock in front of me and jumped up.

“Huh-”

He swallowed his breath and tightened the muscles of his whole body. And, like a bow and arrow shooting arrows, he threw a javelin with all his might!

“Lanet ol,”

a javelin hit Soleva’s shoulder as she uttered something.

“Keep-”

Oh shit. I aimed for the center of the chest, but Drake struggled and missed.

Soleva managed to cling to Drake’s back even though the javelin hit her shoulder with all her strength.

“Attack-!”

Along with Steedman’s shout, the mercenaries who had been lying down jumped forward. Of course, Utequai was running far ahead of them.

Landing on the floor, I pulled out another javelin and threw myself to the side.

It’s because Soleva’s drake stuck out its ferocious teeth.

Knock-!

Even after the blade-like fangs grazed my toes, I had to roll my body back and forth. It was because Drake’s attack was persistent.

I was rolling on the floor frantically, and when I was adjusting my posture, I saw Soleva’s figure at first glance. He was holding something white from under his ornate robe. It was something that looked like a horn.

Wait a minute, that can’t be…

“No-!”

I threw a javelin with a desperate cry, but

I was blown away.

The attack was blocked by Drake’s massive body.

Kkeueek-!

With a javelin stuck in his thick neck, Drake screamed and shook himself off. However, the javelin, which got stuck between the scales as the spearhead was crushed, was not easily pulled out.

Along with that, a bloody squeak was heard from behind him. It was a frost awl fired by Ellen, two lines of blue light.

However, Ellen’s spell was also blocked by Drake. As the powerful frost awl dug into his shoulder, Drake let out another deafening scream.

“Ns Qorckli pargey—”

Soleva said in a language she had never heard before, and brought the object from her bosom to her lips.

Archer Cole fired an arrow from far behind, but the white horn was already bitten in a lizard-like mouth. The arrow, which emitted a yellow flash and cut through the air, reached its target only after the dragon’s magical horn roared silently.

shred!

“Kkeuh-”

A long arrow hit the tip of the horn and shattered it. Then Soleva, who was barely clinging to the tottering drake, ended up falling terribly to the floor.

Now, all I had to do was run and cut the guy’s head, and it was all over, but I couldn’t. It was me and everyone in my group.

“What is this!”

“I’m sorry-! It’s magic!”

The name of the horn that Soleva gave was the ‘Ancient Dragon’s Horn’, and it was a powerful magic tool that paralyzed all those within its influence.

okay. As one mercenary said, we were enchanted.

No but- Why is Soleva holding that

?

I put my doubts behind and tried to move my body. However, the paralyzed body below the chin did not feel anything, let alone move.

Kreu-

I couldn’t even move, and a drake approached me, dripping blood from my neck and shoulders.

“Sir-”

Drake was about to swallow him in his stinking mouth.

“Wait a minute!”

Soleva, who was rolling on the floor, stumbled and stood up.

“Heh heh. Stop Chialemo!”

Kreung!

Drake scratched the ground with his hind feet a couple of times, but Soleva didn’t even give it a try.

“Huh, dare. How dare you hurt me.”

Soleva pulled out the javelin with a groan and slashed her face. Surprisingly, the look on his face was a smile….

“Oh this professionalism is really… I’m a helpless entertainer. Even while my eyes were blinded by your window, I was mesmerized by your beautiful figure. I started thinking of wanting to show the scene I saw to my friends. It’s crazy.”

…Such a crazy bastard. What the hell are you talking about?

“Ah lovely talent. I’m shining. Cucumbers.”

He called me a very strange name, but I struggled to get rid of the paralysis, but I didn’t bother to point it out.

“If it’s you, *hehe* yes. could be a star The beautiful star that attracts everyone in the underworld will be the first human to conquer the arena of the goddess…

He said that and scattered the golden rings he was holding in his left hand to the ground. The jingling golden rings stretched like rubber and landed on the floor.

Ugh.

Dark light emanated from the inside of the large golden ring. It was as if a hole had been drilled through it.

hold on for a while The five holes in the floor spewed out some lumps, and as the black light disappeared, the golden ring shrank back to its original shape.

“…What is this again, X-arm.”

Soleva gave a low chuckle at my muttering.

“Yeah, that would be funny. It’s a treasure, and the only thing I’ve packed is these guys. Oinims, I can’t compare to you. all right never.”

The five lumps that emerged from the hole drilled by the golden ring were all living, breathing humans.

“Geuh”

“Huh.”

The five of them swayed like zombies and got up. Then, as if waiting for an order, she looked back at Soleva.

“Let’s see. Who is the worst among them?”

As Soleva looked over the five people carefully, a loud voice came from behind.

“Urwha tanka ti iya’uten na!” It was Utequai’s shout. The guy didn’t stop there and continued to scream in the language of the meadow.

I couldn’t look back because I was frozen, but I could guess who he was talking to. It was because one of the five people who jumped out of the golden ring had an unfamiliar yet familiar appearance.

A reddish-skinned man with long braided hair and white and red feathers hanging from his shoulders. Yes, there was no doubt that he was a warrior in the plains.

“Ohh. Are they the same species?” Soleva looked back and forth at Utequai and the steppe warrior who had emerged from the Golden Ring.

“Yes, I see. This guy just called himself a warrior, so he must be of a lower rank than a great warrior. At first glance, the difference in size is huge.”

The guy muttered that as if he was giving a speech, then slowly raised his hand.

“Come on Altanka.”

“……Siwha?”

“Your replacement has appeared.”

The warrior of the steppe looked at Soleva for a while with dark eyes, then pulled out an ax that was hanging from his waist.

And-

Pak!

It was like cutting your own head off.

“Tankanae—!”

As Utequai roared in anger, Soleva flicked her tongue and turned to him.

“What are you so angry about? I’ll take you to a place befitting a warrior.”

“Ugh-!”

Even from quite a distance, the growl can be heard loudly.

…that sounds like a pretty good sign.

“I am a warrior!”

Utequai’s shout continued.

“Don’t be a slave.”

“This crazy!”

Soleva’s vertical pupils widened.

And I know the Utequai that emits a black light in it,

“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo of it of Utequai of which I was emitting black light.

I saw a berserk.
