My Villains Episode 026

7. Sewerage (4)

After examining the spotted eggs, Ellen said, turning her face white.

“...Poi has to run away.”

“let’s go.”

I didn’t do anything stupid to waste time by asking why.

The guy’s expression fully explained the serious situation, and I had a clue.

We hurried back the way we had come. The water was splashing up to my ankles anyway, so I ran as fast as I could.

Did it run for about a minute?

with a splash!

The sound of water coming from behind.

It was not too far away. The sense of volume and mass of the water was conveyed through the heavy sound.

“Ellen faster!”

“Ha-wook ha-”

Ellen was running with bated breath... but was barely able to speed up because she was so tired.

Kim Seung-soo, you stupid bastard!

Thinking of retreat, but not caring about Ellen’s stamina! You should have expected this situation!

I’d like to at least lift his crossbow, but since I was holding a lantern on my original shield, I wasn’t ready.

with a splash! with a splash!

The sound of water was rapidly approaching.

I couldn’t confirm its identity, but I don’t think there are that many animals or monsters that lay eggs the size of a human fist and live in places with both water and soil.

Actually, there is a guy who guesses. This guy appears in a crypt, not an underpass!

When the monster’s roar hit the back of my head, I hurriedly looked back at the light of the lantern.

A bloated tail that pushes the water by splashing at both ends of the canal, a back with thick scales, and the eyes of a predator that are split vertically.

At first glance, it was a huge crocodile that looked well over 6 meters.

It is called an animal on Earth, but its size and danger were enough to call it a monster.

Ellen was barely able to speed up even after hearing its roar. It was because the water that had risen up to his ankles continued to bite his feet.

“...Whoa.”

I roughly threw the lantern on the floor and pulled out the pulse.

When I stopped, Ellen took another three or four steps before coming to a halt.

“Why stop! Go quickly!”

He yelled at me even though he was breathing heavily.

“hey! *haha* What are you doing *ha-wook*!”

“go! I will run away on my own!”

“Huh, I hate it!”

Damn that bastard’s asshole!

But there was no time to quarrel with him.

As if sprinkled with a gourd, a lot of water splattered on my face, giving off a musty smell

.

The crocodile, which had been swimming along the waterway at breakneck speed, was approaching right in front of me before I knew it, opening its mouth up and down and attacking.

The gaping mouth was so large that it could chew through half of my body in one bite.

“o ”

Before I even had time to feel the fear, I moved reflexively.

He gritted his teeth and thrust the knife into his dark jaw.

But just before the tip of the knife touches the roof of his mouth.

Huung.

Avoiding this crazy thing?

Even in the middle of the blow, he twisted his back in an instant to avoid my knife. It was an agile reaction that did not match his size.

Immediately after that, the diagonally opened mouth closed with fierce force.

Kwajik!

“Queuuuuuu-”

I was able to avoid being bitten by the fact that I barely leaned back and held out my shield.

The roof of his mouth stopped right in front of my throat because the original shield was stuck inside his mouth.

For a moment, the world seemed to stop.

The terrible smell of breath that many living beings must have smelled right before their death, and the saw-like teeth that hung down their necks like the scythe of a reaper.

A reptilian eye that emits an eerie glow from beyond the darkness.

It seemed that they smiled at me in the form of death.

“Keep it off.”

In the slowed-down world, I hit the guy on the side of the head with a pulse.

The superhuman strength that emerged from the crisis of death left a deep and large scar on him.

Kwajik!

I wanted him to step back in surprise, but the giant crocodile only opened its fist-sized eyes with fierce rage.

A whirlwind of rage twisted my arms. I gritted my teeth and endured for a while, but “

the world turned upside down in a billion seconds. I was thrown into the waterway leaving only a single sound.

The crocodile started its death spin using its weight of over a ton.

Huung Splash! The

“chug chug”

rotation continued. The crocodile bit through my shield and threw me to the floor, twisting and turning like crazy.

Fuck!

I don’t even know where I bumped into. My shoulders were burning hot.

It’d be better if the shield couldn’t overcome the guy’s grip and was smashed.

Fuck!

I was hit again where I was hit.

I should have bought shin braces!

After a while, the stair landing to the second basement floor.

Sitting on the stone steps, I applied a bandage to the back of my head where blood was dripping. There is a passive skill, ‘flowing blood’ effect, so even if you press it well, the bleeding will stop.

At that time, Ellen’s hand, which was loosening my crumpled shoulder girdle, brushed my swollen shoulder.

“Aw- Hey, be careful! It looks like it’s cracked!” At my words, Ellen frowns and bruises.

“It’s a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of Being tall is a distraction.”

I wanted to fight back, but I held back.

It was because it was embarrassing to see her eyelids swollen like caterpillars.

“Ugh.”

As I was sighing, the guy who hesitated for a while holding on to the collar of his leather tunic suddenly became annoyed.

“I-Sir—unbutton all of these.”

“Oh, let me go. Can’t you see there’s no hands?”

“...I’m so annoyed...”

the guy grumbled a little, but cautiously unbuttoned the button to open the front and poured water over it to wash the wound.

“Ugh kick it.”

Following Ellen’s hand as she applied the bandage, she raised her arm and suddenly asked a question.

“Hey, but you have the glass bottle you shot earlier.”

“...uh what?”

The guy who was wrapping the bandages stuttered in surprise when I spoke to him, probably thinking about something else.

“What is it and why?”

“uh? no no no.”

“Are you okay?”

“It’s okay, don’t turn your head. That – because the bandages are tangled.”

He said no, but a strong trembling came from the hand that brushed his collarbone.

I glanced sideways and saw that the nape of his neck was stained red as if he had a fever.

Are you very tired? Are you sick somewhere?

Well, it’s already been ten hours since I went down the sewer, but I can’t be tired. And rolling around in such a dirty environment, no matter how healthy a person is, gets sick.

I’ll have to fix it up soon and go up.

“That’s why you shot me earlier.”

What Ellen shot with her crossbow was kind of... Should I say tear gas ((崔浪藥)? It was a glass bottle with something like that.

“It was some kind of tear gas, right? What is it made of?”

“...Huh hmm. I picked some sandalwood behind the inn. I mixed it with ground tarazine I bought from a street vendor. The amount was not enough, so I mixed a little bit of fine sand.”

Ah, I know ‘Tarajin’. It’s a kind of spice, but if you compare it to the earth, you can think of it as black peperoncino.

“Hey, when did you make that again?”

“...When you were lying around with that old maid, you were bored, so you made things. why.”

“Ah hey! it hurts Gently-”

“Shouldn’t you tie it up properly? Be still.”

But wait. what did he say? Am I hanging out with an old maid? ...I don’t remember having such luck with Phoenix’s body.

“for a moment. Are you talking about Grania?”

“uh. Is that right?”

The way he smacks others in a calm manner is really... should I say he’s like a guy?

Ha Grania is in her mid-twenties at best, but she’s an old virgin? Then what am I to be a 30-year-old bachelor? I’m just pissed off

That’s it, I said to Ellen with a little surprise.

“Heh, after wandering around like that for meditating, did you make very special preparations?”

Suddenly, a crossbow leaning against a stone ledge caught my eye.

Wait, no way...

“Hey, then, by any chance... did you buy that to shoot tear gas?”

To my question, Ellen answered with a frown as if it was obvious.

“of course. i am a wizard Would you have spent six silver coins just to shoot a piece of stone?”

I don’t know what magic has to do with tear gas.

“...really? Did you think of it beforehand?” “okay. I adjusted the weight of the bottle to the iron bullet to get used to it.”

oh boy does it look different?

I thought that I was the only one who couldn’t use magic, but you were preparing thoroughly, right?

“But why didn’t you tell me?”

“...because I didn’t know if it would be useful or not. There’s no point in shooting something like this at zombies or bugs.”

“aha. You should have said this though. Very useful.”

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly at my bruise.

“...Useful?”

“Of course you say that? If it wasn’t for that, I’d be dead by now.”

He kept his mouth shut, but a smile that he couldn’t hide spread across his lips.

Aww cute boy

“If there is anything else like this, tell me in advance. I also need to know that I can work hand-to-hand with you. Have you made anything else?”

“Hmm. I made some poison bottles and Molotov cocktails, too.”

“...what’?”

It might be because of his mood, but his nose seemed to be getting higher and higher. It was very funny to see her shoulders up high, but I couldn’t hold back my curiosity and asked.

“How else did you make that?”

“It’s not that hard. For the poison bottle, I dried and ground amanita mushrooms and adzuki beans, and added lily of the valley essence to them. It’s a simple but useful paralysis poison. As for the flamethrower, Sister Olga asked me to buy flameflower oil for going to your old general store. However, oil alone is not viscous, so it will act as a paste...

Seeing Ellen explain things in such a trivial way, I burst out laughing. The trembling in his hands seemed to have subsided, as if he had forgotten the fatigue before he knew it.

That elated look is pretty funny, but- yeah.
