The Blood Knight’s Villains

My Villains Chapter 413

63. Knights of the Silver Prince (20)

When experienced adventurers think of Asag, the land of the dead, the first thing that comes to mind is not a lake full of by-products of death or a swamp full of monsters.

They recall the fog. It is a fog that makes you suffocate as if the rain that had been pouring down in full force stopped in mid-air.

The heavy fog that seems to choke the breath actually holds a lot of evil energy and miasma and strangles people. Those who are not prepared for this will lose their lives without even knowing it. The spirit and body that met death in this way are divided into ghosts and walking corpses and wander in the swamp.

These tragic tales are usually endless, and the undead that roam Asag are also impossible to count. Those countless undead had no organization or regularity, so they all moved arbitrarily. They walked through thick fog, floated on lakes, lay down in swamps, and made heaps among themselves.

And now, in the middle of an old swamp whose origins cannot be determined, the Undead broke their long silence and shouted with one voice.

It

was a ray of light that woke them up. The light source rising from the land of the dead shone like the sun and burned the entire fog.

Caan-! The ‘Divine Sun’, which sprinkles bright brilliance, melted even the dead, as if it could not be satisfied with eating the fog.

The bloated corpse that crawled up from the bottom of the lake, the skeleton soldier who raised his body from the swamp, and the ghosts that swam in the cool wind were all erased without a trace.

The fog that had been layered up to the bottom of the clouds receded greatly, revealing a clear sky. The bottom of the lake is transparent, duckweed spreads over the swamp, and the soil is green.

But that’s for a while.

The light gradually faded. The divine sun is setting. The fog, which had been receding, rushed back like water over a broken bank.

“Lord.”

The light green eyes of the beautiful paladin were stained with sadness.

Raising her divine power, she grabbed a fist-sized jewelry ornament. However, the ‘savior’s pendant’ lost its light after flashing once.

“this.”

Now this pendant wouldn’t last for a good month.

Although it is a holy relic consecrated by the countless Hongui bishops who led the Calandari Church, it was not able to purify Asag in the end. Not even a single inch.

Instead of sighing, the anointed paladin Theodore drew his sword and raised his shield.

A wild spirit permeates the noble woman’s eyes, an aura of the same color spreads around her light golden hair, and a silvery glow shines through her pure white plate armor.

Wow! As soon as Princess Theodora raised her sword and shield, a group of undead attacked her again, breaking through the fog.

It was dominated by chunks of flesh that could only walk or skeleton soldiers holding rusty metal, but there were also ghosts in spiritual bodies, powerful ghosts, giant beasts, and corpses of monsters.

Kiek!

A bluish flame wrapped around a black figure let out a sharp scream. If it was the criminal who faced this, he would have urinated and sat down immediately, but the paladin equipped with the ‘Kalandari combat posture’ only swung his sword with his eyes shining calmly.

joy!

Theodora’s blade was emitting a golden glow. The specter of the blue flame-the undead, commonly referred to as the ‘Revenant’, screamed as it was split from the shoulder to the stomach by the blade. It also turned to ash and scattered as the brilliance of the blade increased its brightness for a moment.

Roaring!

Revenant also fell in vain, but the lower level undead couldn’t even reach out to Theodora. It is because the golden aura ‘Light of Kuma’ that waved around her burned them early.

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

Instead of the lower part of the body, black smoke was attached to it, and a flying demon spread evil energy. The trick called ‘the song of the ghouls’ did not stop Theodora even for a moment, let alone paralyze her.

Empty!

She raised a shield large enough to cover her entire body to block the ghoul, then twisted her body and threw her sword. The ghoul

that

had been pierced through the throat was soon driven by the sacred blade and put its head on the floor. Then, like a guillotine, the lower blade of the shield cut off the man’s back.

turn it off

The two-part demon wriggled its limbs like a worm in a sacred aura. Theodora, instead of casting her gaze at the one melting like butter on a hot pan, extended her sword towards the waves of death.

Theodora gave them the end they had been putting off with a reverent and resolute movement – if Phoenix had seen it, it would have been sluggish and stiff. Before ten minutes had elapsed, the three-digit number of ghosts found rest, and twice as many bodies turned to dust.

“Whoa whoa-”

As the battle continued, Theodora’s breathing gradually became quicker. The placenta of the undead that the princess dealt with melted before she could even swing her sword, but in other words, she cut the rest herself, so it was natural for her to be exhausted.

Wow!

As the sudden roar pierced her ears, Theodora turned her head away.

And realizing that the entity that had let out that terrifying howl was a monster as gigantic as a small stronghold, she opened her mouth small.

“……dragon?”

Indeed, it was none other than the dragon that raised its body from among the piles of bones.

The hard scales fell off, and most of the thick flesh was rotted away. However, the skin-pierced wings, the two sharp horns and blade-like claws on the head, which seemed to have been magnified dozens of times that of a lizard, were clearly in the shape of a dragon.

bowl!

It’s unclear how the decaying corpse makes noise, but the corpse dragon snarls and lunges like it did when it was alive.

“Lord,”

the corpse dragon swung its tail at the pale-faced Paladin. The princess immediately threw herself away. Above her, lying face down on the damp floor, a heavy, hollow sound passed by.

“Keugh.”

She hurriedly got herself up and tripped. He had sunk one leg up to the shin in the swamp where the rotten smell was rising. Taking advantage of that gap, the corpse dragon opened its mouth wide.

Kwajik!

“Kkeok”

The mouth spewing poetry poison snatched the princess in an instant. The corpse dragon violently swung a head the size of a house, and Theodora randomly rolled it into the mouth of a creature that looked like it had been jammed with blades.

Kagagak!

Fortunately, the plate armor Phoenix had gifted him did not leave a single scratch even while grinding between the dragon’s teeth. After going through an unknown cathedral knight, a skeleton knight who escorts the king of death, and a red knight, ‘Pure White’, which was finally given to Theodora, met a suitable owner after a long time and was doing its part.

“Turn it off!”

However, the pure whiteness did not protect the face, nor did it absorb all shocks. The princess’s beautiful face was covered in blood in an instant, and her limbs, which were thin compared to her strength, were randomly crushed and broken.

Big!

The dragon, which had been shaking its mouth for a while, threw it on the floor instead of swallowing what it was biting whether it knew that its digestive system had lost its function.

“Kkeok-”

Theodora, who flew away, unfortunately landed on her back on a mossy rock. She gasped for breath, but did not lose consciousness.

The princess was used to suffering.

In her early teens, she lost both her parents and siblings, half of her trusted vassals were killed, and the rest betrayed her and her family. When she was confined to a convent, she was confined to solitary confinement for several months, and when she could not hide her vengeance and anger, she had to beat herself until her bones were exposed.

“Heh heh heh.”

Therefore, Theodora immediately rose to her feet. It had been her long-standing quality to become clear in the midst of terrible pain. prayer too. ‘Healing light’ was poured into the prayer memorized as a habit, and the torn skin and broken bones were restored…

Wow!

Instead of admiring her persistence, the corpse dragon roared and attacked as it did right after it appeared.

“Glory to the Lord.” Theodora stopped the treatment and took a breath. He kicked the ground, turning his murmur into a shout.

“Rest for them-”

The federal plaque was dyed vermilion. She accelerated, leaving a tail of brilliance. It’s the ‘Glory Rush’.

“For me only honor!”

It was a rush like a shot that even a real dragon could not have avoided. There was no way that corpse could react.

Kwak!

Theodora rammed her hind legs like a battering ram. The corpse dragon fell forward and hit its head. The princess threw away her shield, which was about to split in half, and climbed on his wings. Then he stabbed the golden burning blade into the middle of his back.

“Light.”

Kurleung!

The divine light she poured out filled the hollow inside of the corpse dragon. Light flooded the mouth. The dragon went into rest, emitting light instead of flame.

“Ha-ha-ha-huh…

Eventually, as the dragon for the corpse scattered into dust, the princess collapsed onto the floor. The damp earthen floor was full of miasma, but not even that could poison her.

Theodora, who had been holding her breath for a long time, stumbled and rose from her seat. Then, he picked up the palm-sized trace left by the corpse dragon.

“This is what it is.”

It was a small disk that looked like it was made of bent bones. I felt a strange yet familiar energy.

The reason why it felt unfamiliar was because it was an energy that was difficult to find in the middle world. It was an aura that gave goosebumps because it was completely different from the evil aura that filled the place or the thick miasma .

It was the energy she felt when an assassin invaded her mother-in-law, Prince Ulkar, while subduing the forces left by the King of Death in front of the Seteniora Monastery.

And it is also the energy I vaguely felt while securing the road across Asag just a few days ago. The reason why Theodora had now separated from the heavy cavalry and entered the depths of the land of death was to pursue this energy.

“…Ah”

Then the bone disk crumbled without any sign. Before the princess could react, a black lump the size of a finger came out. The mass immediately clung to my gloved hand.

“Ugh-”

Theodora quickly brushed her hands away from the burning pain in her palms. However, the mass that flowed through the glove stuck firmly to the palm and did not know that it would fall off.

The princess gritted her teeth at the intense pain that turned her hair white. He picked up the sword he had put down beside him and scratched his palm, staining it with a golden glow. Even after touching the ‘sacred blade’, the black mass did not fade away.

“Lord, light!”

In the prayer he gnashed his teeth and uttered, a brilliance as strong as when he was finishing the corpse burst out. It was only after the dazzling blade scraped off the skin from the palm of my hand that the black mass shrank and fell to the floor.

As the black mass began to seep into the soil, Theodora quickly thrust her gleaming sword into the ground.

The mass that had been pierced precisely at the point of the sword wriggled while giving off gray smoke and finally disappeared without a trace.

“Lord, what the hell is this?”

Theodora crossed herself in surprise, but guessed the identity of the lump she had just burned.

Magi (魔气).

It was clear that the demonic spirit flowed from one of the eight different dimensions, the Dark Realm.

“Why is Maggie in Asag… a story I’ve never heard of?”

Asag is a hideous place called the Land of the Dead, but I had never heard of it being connected to another dimension. It is known that passages connecting to the second dimension often occur in places where people are rare, but in fact, they were created in places where there was no magic power to hinder the creation of passages. In a place full of morale like Asag, it was rather natural to be connected to the spirit world, not the dark world.

Lord.” As Theodora was lost in thought, she heard a group of horses hooves coming from the south.

“Princess! Princess Theodora!”

It was the voice of the ‘huge’ Lord Ankir.

It was a booming voice, as usual, but somehow it sounded like excitement.

In the end, the princess retrieved the sword and turned toward the place where the voices were heard.
