My Villains Episode 183

43. Struggling (3)

While lying in the red rain, the smell of blood makes me sick.

...well, that’s strange. Are you full from sucking Heila’s blood?

no no It must have been because he had been repeating battles and slaughter until he was tired of it.

The setting sun, cool autumn wind, warm blood, and desolation.

I blinked my eyes silently, then suddenly got up. Ellen and Heyla, as well as Atalanta next to her, are also injured. I can’t be stunned like this.

I ran to Ellen, who had landed under the rubble of the gate, and looked at her. There were bruises on her forearms and minor scrapes on her calves, but no major injuries. You might hurt your head though, so be careful.

As I slowly embraced him, his long eyelashes crossed and his eyes opened. I thought Ellen would be surprised, so I quickly absorbed the blood that was covered all over my body.

“...Hmm huh?”

The guy focused for a moment, then looked up at me with a blank face. I smiled at Ellen several times as the big wall flickered.

“......trunnion?”

“Yes, it is me. Are you okay?”

As soon as I finished speaking, he came and hugged me. As if there were no bones, the soft body slenderly hung.

“I’m so dark and suffocating, but she’s taking you away and you’re nothing-”

Ellen mumbled, her face buried wide in my neck. Did you have any nightmares while passing out?

When I gently patted him on the back, he caught his breath and straightened his upper body.

And then he was staring up at me. I could feel the strength in my hand gripping the nape of my neck.

...Why is he like this?

“Do you have a headache? Didn’t they bump into each other while rolling, yup-”

The words didn’t follow through to the end.

It was because Ellen, who tightly closed her eyes and pouted her lips, pulled my neck and suddenly slammed my lips.

“Suddenly something.”

His lips pressed down on his front teeth and he couldn’t even speak.

Soft lips, sweet breath, and the refreshing scent of lime pounded my heart.

Oh, Kim Seung-soo, wake up! You can’t do this!

I yelled inwardly and pulled Ellen away.

“Wait a minute. Isn’t it time for this? When the situation is sorted out later, no, I mean-”

He was talking nonsense like that, but he had a somewhat dazed expression on his face.

“Uh uh.”

For a moment, the white skin through which veins were visible became bright red as if it had been burned. As the fine blush spread to her neck and ears in an instant, Ellen suddenly closed her eyes and buried her face in my arms as if collapsing.

“Ellen. Ellen?”

I shook my shoulder several times, but he didn’t respond.

Why is he really like this? Where are you seriously injured?

In a sense of urgency, I put my palm on the boy’s back and raised his blood. Other people may not know, but I am not the only expert on Ellen’s body. For the past 4 months, I have been scanning with blood flow

techniques

.

Unnatural breathing, sometimes flinching fingertips, stiff back and blood rushing to the face.

I was able to quickly determine Ellen’s condition.

The guy...

“...Ughhh.”

I was pretending to faint.

I struggled to swallow my laughter and moved on.

As they were laying the three women side by side under the rubble of the gate, Amias and Stidman appeared with a group of soldiers.

They saw red streams flowing all around them and approached cautiously, their faces pale.

Stidman brought Heila’s warlock and found three bottles of wound-healing potion in the saddle.

Since Cole was said to be in critical condition, he sent a bottle of potion and decided to use the other two to heal Heila and Atalante.

“Wait, Phoenix-sama. Are you saying you want to cure them?”

Leader Amias had a very ambiguous face.

“Why is it wrong?”

“It was Atilia who blew this gate here. While stopping her, Ms. Hatanka was seriously injured.”

“...the Utequai? Where are you now?”

“You are at church. I’ve heard that it won’t affect your life.”

Well, it seems that the ‘Seal of Predation’ was not used because there were only human corpses around.

In the game, regardless of whether they were monsters or humans, they all ate their hearts to recover their physical strength and receive buffs.

However, the real Utequai did not. Is it for religious reasons?

“Not only Mr. Hatanka, but also several soldiers were killed or injured. Well, though Mr. Multingham was hurt more.”

“o uh ” — W .

“And Heila, no, Lady Heila kidnapped Ellen and nearly killed Cole. By the way, are you treating the two of them well?” Amias, who had been talking in a slightly excited tone, added something while scratching the tip of his nose, as if something had suddenly come to mind.

“Of course, Lady Heila is Phoenix-sama’s fiancée, and we also owed our lives. Atilia also saved Phoenix-sama once.”

Amias continued with a calm expression.

“But Sir. Lady Atilia did not move according to my will.”

“...what?”

“Because of the gold pendant. The elders are the tools to redeem Atilia-sama.”

“From what I’ve seen, I don’t think you can make people slaughter even with that pendant.”

“...Have you seen the forbidden pendant?”

“What happened? But that’s not what’s important right now.”

“okay.”

Argos shook his head and spoke with difficulty.

“It is the atrocities of the elder Del Otto.”

“Del Otto?”

“yes. He boasted that he would destroy the gateway to quell the anger of Prince Doyle, the second son of Count Tristan.”

“...that actually happened.”

“It wasn’t what Lady Atilia wanted. Del Otto forcibly awakened Lady Atilia with a bizarre drinking method.”

“Awakening?”

“It’s crazy stuff that opens a passage into the void in your head. You must have opened your third eye as proof of that, but didn’t you see it?”

I glanced back and Ellen nodded quietly.

“...that’s right. He radiated the power of the arcane beyond his limit.”

“Attilia-sama was pouring most of her mental energy into maintaining the passage, so it was as if she was half asleep. I was in a state where I couldn’t refuse an order given by the person holding the pendant.”

At Argos’s explanation, I drool a little.

“So, since Atilia is innocent, please return it?”

“...How can you say you have no guilt? Although manipulated by the elders, she is a warrior of the al-Qadari clan. You cannot escape from the responsibilities of the clan.” He said that and got off his horse. Then, he took two more steps forward and fell flat on his face.

“...what are you doing?”

“I beg for mercy, Lord Phoenix.”

Thirty or so nude warriors who followed Agos also got off their horses and bowed.

“She is a child of a demigod and the daughter of the prophecy that will save the nude people. Please show mercy and grace to our people.”

......Hey. What did you do to such an extent?

“Keuhum, even if I return Atilia to you guys, there is no law that prevents me from becoming a puppet of the elders again, right?”

“...maybe.”

Agos slowly raised his head and looked up at me.

“However, Lady Atilia has already been forcibly awakened and cannot continue her life without the help of the elders.”

“...what? What are you talking about?”

“It is as you have heard. Miss Atilia, if she doesn’t return to Ashun, she will be consumed by the void. In that case, the Lord will also do harm.”

Hey, this is getting really nasty.

How about the feeling of a social worker who has to return an abused child to his or her home?

I turned to Ellen.

“What do you think?”

He held his hand for a moment and intertwined his fingers. Looking closely, what he was fiddling with was a small handkerchief woven from silk.

“......send.”

“what?”

“Let’s send it.”

Ellen raised her head.

“If that woman is swallowed up by the void, she could become a monster. People get hurt now...

He blurted out his words like that.

They waited for some time, but Ellen continued to fiddle with the silk handkerchief and did not open her mouth.

...Judging by the look on his face, it would be better to leave him alone for a while.

I looked back at Argos and nodded.

He took care of his expression for a while, and carefully supported Atalanta with three or four other warriors and mounted it on his horse.

“Thank you Sir Phoenix.”

“...Thank you. Attal Um Atilia was a good friend to me too.”

“Thank you anyway.”

He turned the horse’s head and suddenly pulled the reins. “

Do you have anything to say

to Lady Atilia ?”

“...something to say?”

“yes. I feel like I should ask for some reason.”

I was silent for a moment, then smiled.

After I said a few words, Argos looked at me quietly and bowed his head.

“I will tell you. Then.”

Leading by Argos with Atalanta in the saddle, the Nudein warriors turned around the farmland and headed west.

I suddenly looked up at the sky.

lush autumn.

It was a season of peace.
