My Villains Episode 064

17. Popaluk Katalas (4)

I tried to maintain a poker face while grinding my teeth inside.

“So please don’t resist and die gracefully?”

“To put it more accurately... I want you to accept the ritual. Voluntarily open your arms wide.”

“Who the hell accepts such a crazy offer?”

“The culprit is a difficult proposition to accept. I admit it.”

Luke stood leaning against the window about twenty paces away from me.

Wearing black clothes, a bronze crown, and a white staff, he had the appearance of a typical villainous wizard, but his tone and expression imitated those of a respectable old gentleman.

“Originally, in order to achieve outstanding results, a change in thinking and hard work are required. You’re having a conversation like this to get your thoughts back. I want you to understand yourself.”

“What if I don’t understand it at all?”

“Then I have no choice but to take the risk of failure and the loss.”

Saying that, Luke raised his wand and pressed it against Ellen’s stomach. Ellen’s half-closed eyes widened and let out a frustrated scream.

“Turn it off!”

“Stop this x cub!”

blank.

When I tried to attack Luke, the Sun Soldiers pushed me away with their shields. Luke looked at it and sighed.

“Actually, I don’t enjoy torture either. It leaves indelible scars on the body as well as the soul.”

“I-I-”

“But what can I do? Rather than letting them die while harboring resentment, we should make them yearn to become followers even if their spirits and bodies are slightly damaged.”

Luke crouched down and grabbed the hair of Ellen, who was sweating coldly.

“Kka-”

“Your eyes are still alive. but. Lofty wizards seldom break that will.”

Luke turned his head towards me and asked with a serious face.

“But what about you, Mr. Phoenix? Are you confident enough to continue watching Miss Ellen suffer? Wouldn’t it be better to convince Miss Ellen and be freed from suffering?”

“If you don’t accept my offer, I will torture Miss Ellen until she dies. I’m sorry, but I’ll have to gamble.”

Looking into Luke’s deep eyes, he was convinced.

That’s not what common sense is all about.

Even talking nonsense was not meant to be mocking or sarcastic. It’s clear that the bastard really thinks that way. To believe that being one’s undead is a blessing and that death is the only way to be freed from suffering.

I shook my head furiously in the face of the calm madness.

Fighting head-on is no win. Then what should I do?

First of all, one thing is certain. Luke doesn’t want my body to get hurt as much as possible. I guess I want to preserve my body as much as possible. To create a special ghoul.

If you think about it that way, it makes sense for him to treat Ellen so mercilessly. What is needed is Ellen’s soul, not her body.

There is another corner to dig into. Luke doesn’t seem to know exactly what kind of space the ‘altar’ is here.

In fact, I know how to trigger an event and how to attack it, but I don’t know exactly what I’m doing here. But wouldn’t this be enough to create a variable?

I took a deep breath and opened my mouth.

“Good after.”

“...you like it? Are you accepting my offer?”

What’s that crazy guy’s expression of disbelief after Ji suggested it?

“First of all... let me talk to Ellen. I want to hear what

Ellen thinks, whether or not I persuade her .”

“Oh, how indecisive. still don’t know Now is the time for you to make decisions, not to hear opinions.”

While gnashing my teeth at Luke’s ridicule, I tried my best to speak politely.

“please. It only takes a moment.”

“Umm...”

A look of dismay appeared on Luke’s face. He touched his chin and said in a bitter tone.

“The truth is, it is. I’ve done something... with Miss Ellen.”

“action?”

“It’s a necessary measure for a ferocious wizard. So now I am unable to speak.”

hard.

The teeth are split into sections. Again, Luke’s bizarre obsession saved his life.

“I guess not. I need some time to calm down.”

Luke muttered something in a furious voice and glared at me. And without any warning, dark blue eyes radiated gloomy magic power.

“Oops,”

he sighed.

My limbs stiffened like a block of wood, and I fell backwards helplessly.

Making eye contact and being paralyzed... Is this the ‘Gaze from the Abyss’ skill? Without any crazy spells or omens?

At that time, the ambiguous translation of the tooltip, ‘Remember up to 5 spells’, flashed through my mind.

Yes, Memorize, another fixed option of the Crown of the Ancient Ruler!

It was too late to notice because there were so many equipment to worry about. My body was completely paralyzed, and Luke was approaching me with furious steps.

“I was so considerate, but you acted so rudely like this!”

Fuck!

His nose bleed as the white cane struck him in the face.

If it’s going to be rotten paralysis, it’s painful or not. Why are you still sick?

And... my left shoulder and hand heat up like a ball of fire. What is this...

Luke said with a distorted look on his face as if he couldn’t feel the heat radiating from his body.

“Now that this has happened, I will completely rip out your dirty mind and fix it. It cuts off the skin of the whole body and makes you yearn for death.”

It was a black half-cloak and an aquamarine ring that gave off heat. The power emitted by the two objects pushed the evil external force that had taken over the entire body.

“Of course, that Ellen girl comes first.”

Luke whispered with a smile on his lips.

“I will cut off a small head, split the brain, extract the soul, and then mold it into a spirit. Until all of their senses evaporate, they will possess hundreds and thousands of bodies to decolorize their souls. Ellen will forever curse you for your foolish choices.”

The blood in his whole body seemed to boil at his whisper.

And finally, the evil mana that had been entangling his whole body was shaken off. I threw out my fist without hesitation.

blah blah

Luke couldn’t even scream properly and rolled on the floor. It was an outstretched fist while lying down, but the strength that transcended that of a human made the clown and eye socket collapse at once.

Damn, I should have blown my head off in one breath!

There was no time to regret, and I immediately jumped like a four-legged beast and attacked the fallen Luke.

“Kkw-”

He looked up at me savagely as he was crushed by me. I slammed my fist down with my eyes tightly closed to avoid the gaze of the abyss.

clap.

“Cheak!” His eyes were closed, but his senses were sharper than usual. After smashing the floundering arm in one breath, he punched again, but – boom!

“Kuk—”

My body flew through the air with a shock as if I had been hit by a heavy-duty car.

Udangtang Puck!

“Cheuk. Shut-”

There was a stone in the place where I fell, and I was stamped on my back.

When I raised my head with a dry cough, it was none other than Doulahan who blew me away. It was blown off the face of that ignorant axe.

“You *gre** dirty mercenary!”

As Luke, with his face down on one side, screamed while bleeding, the empty gazes of the skeleton soldiers focused on me.

“Kill! Kill only the heart as fully as possible!”

A bastard, I still haven’t let go of my lingering feelings.

“Kuheugh.”

I stood up on the stone that had cut my back. In the meantime, I realized that the stone was none other than an ‘altar’.

While talking with Luke, he recalled the situation he had simulated in his head. And immediately moved into action.

chin.

He placed the palm of his left hand on the altar and drew blood from the cleft. Blood in response to my will instantly covered the stage.

I recalled a sentence in the language of the ancient empire, Spacht, that repeated itself over and over again in my mouth. At the same time, he shouted.

“Underlord, here comes a challenger!”
