My Villains Episode 224

47. Nightmare (6)

Around the time when the black giant turns to dust and scatters. A gust of wind suddenly blew in.

A huge mansion nestled in a quiet suburb has regained its silence. The gate that revealed itself welcomed a woman with its arms wide open.

“long time no see.”

Wearing a neat white shirt and a blue skirt, the pale-faced Soha smiled.

The smile shattered something like blackened glass that hid a series of memories. Memories that were beyond the glass rushed in like waves and made a mess in my head and scratched me...

“Yes, you.”

“I missed you.”

He continued to speak in a calm tone as usual with a smile on his face.

“I never imagined that I would be back here or see my brother again.”

“...Now I get it. This is in my dream.”

“My heart is a little overwhelmed to think that I appeared in my brother’s dream.”

“under. They said it was a dream territory, so it must have been a nightmare territory.”

“I heard that you joined our company. what a surprise I heard you work in Gwanghwamun?”

I tried to ignore the words, but I bit my lower lip when I saw a happy expression on Soha’s face.

“Don’t get me wrong. If I knew it was your affiliate”

“Lie.”

The smile deepened. Soha slowly approached and looked up at me.

“You were after me. They searched for me anxiously without knowing anything. That’s what I was.”

“Stop talking like that dog, it’s creepy.”

“cute. It’s like a pouty puppy.”

Soha, who had come closer to me with an outstretched arm, looked up at me with a smile. Hatefully, it is the face of an innocent girl who does not know the world.

The hand holding Hrunting trembled, then he gnashed his teeth and asked her a question. No, just as he was about to ask a question, Soha opened his mouth first.

“Did you go backpacking after graduation?”

“...Mmm what?”

“You received a subsidy from a newspaper contest.”

“You can’t.”

“that’s right. I followed you for a month and a half and you didn’t notice at all?”

mischievous eye smile.

“It can’t be. You met my eyes a few times.”

Leaning her upper body as if leaning on me, who was as stiff as a stone statue, she lifted her tiptoe.

“Do you know why my brother didn’t report it or not?”

The bright red lips did not even reach the shoulder blades, let alone ears, but Soha lowered his voice as if whispering.

“Because I missed you. Right?”

“...a bitch like a psycho.”

“You are too weak and kind to live outside of my arms.”

Soha stretched out her thin arms and wrapped her arms around my waist. Then he leaned his head against my stomach and continued to whisper.

“How indifferent is such a good person to be indifferent. You don’t even know your own heart until you teach it.”

“Let go of this.”

back.

I grabbed Soha by the shoulder and tried to push him away, but

“I don’t like it.”

She didn’t even budge. It was a tremendous strength that did not suit her slender body....

“Ugh, damn it-”

“My life was completely ruined because of you. You have to take responsibility.”

“Don’t bullshit.”

Seeing Soha’s eyes turn black, I began to struggle like a maniac.

“You must have *turned off* my life!”

“no. no.”

The finely pleated blue skirt was turned inside out. The smooth legs under it were now united as one, stained black.

“It’s because of your brother.”

Soha’s lower body, which had turned into a black mass, swelled up in an instant. In the process, six carapaceous legs reminiscent of insects sprouted and reached the ground.

“Oh, these X-arms-”

In that way, the shape of a human upper body sprouting from the spider’s torso was completed.

“Let this go!”

I was held in Soha’s arms, and I was carried up into the air as her spider-like lower body grew to the size of a house.

“The first day I saw you. You bought me a digestive medicine because of my bewitched words at a drinking party. You laughed and acted cute without knowing anything about me and waggled your tail like a lost puppy-” Even as I struggled desperately, she continued to mutter as if casting a spell.

“At most, I came back after transforming into my brother’s taste, like magic and like Cinderella.”

With her whites and eyes all black from the darkness that started from her pupils, Soha shook her chin and looked up at me clinging to her arms.

“But Yoo Hee-won fell for that slut-like vulgar bitch and didn’t even pay attention to me. Then it’s not your brother’s responsibility that we ended

up like this

. ”

A long arrow sprouted from the spider’s body.

“Kyaaak-!”

The words that had been pouring out like rapid fire were cut off by a sharp scream. At the same time, the strength that had been holding her back slightly weakened.

“Sigh.”

I slammed Soha down on her elbow with Hrunting’s permal, then threw herself backwards, pushing her belly with my foot.

“No—!” I found a blackened gaze as I got out of Soha’s arms and somersaulted. So as soon as I landed on the ground, I rolled forward as if I was bouncing.

bang!

A thick spider leg slammed into the spot where I had landed. The flagstones on the floor shattered here and there, raising dust.

“In front of Phoenix-sama!”

Hearing Cole’s voice, I quickly turned my head to see Soha flipping the spider’s body over and aiming at me.

In the moment the pass team looked behind it, the cow that had stopped breathing turned into dust and scattered in all directions.

I blinked my eyes while examining something glittering and scattered, then quickly got up.

“Follow me.”

“Do you know where to go?” Instead of answering, I started running. Cole, who was running at the same time, caught his breath in astonishment when he saw the place I was heading to, the wide open gate. They found a black disc that appeared out of nowhere and turned into a passageway.

“Are you sure you want to go in there?”

“okay!”

“But-”

“The only way is over there anyway! Shut up and follow me!”

Even while I was screaming, the rift that had swallowed up the mansion was spreading in an instant in the direction of the gate.

Is it because he felt the ground vibrate like a wave ?

Cole kept his mouth shut and focused on following me with his legs.

As the cracks extending like lightning tickled our heels, we finally hurled ourselves into the dark passageway.

Crossing the black aisle was a very strange experience.

It felt like I had reached another planet after floating in space for a long time, and it seemed like I was teleported somewhere in the blink of an eye.

“Ouch”

me and Cole bounced out of the air like chewing gum someone had spit out. Fortunately, it was a dirt floor full of fallen leaves.

“...here is.”

Cole, who got up quickly, lowered his stance and corrected his bow. And it was a lot of whispering while holding my breath.

“It seems to be some kind of castle.”

“that’s right.”

The first thing that caught his gaze was probably the strangely shaped castle. A castle with a high and sharp chest wall that makes it look as if thorns are sticking out.

Inside the castle, which was likely to be eight or nine meters high, there were palace towers, barracks, knight’s halls, and the like. As Cole said, it looked like an adult from Middle World.

“...I don’t know if it landed in a foreign country other than the Milanol Kingdom.”

“why?”

“It’s hard to explain, but somehow it feels strange.” As Cole felt, besides the unique shape of the castle, several unusual parts stood out.

The height of the castle wall is also high, but the circumference is exceptionally long, so it is so grand that it cannot be compared with that of Longville or South Harbor.

The fact that the rocks that make up the walls and the wooden bricks used in the buildings were all dark and dull black.

And that in the distance there is a magnificent palace adorned with arched structures.

“It must be... a castle that looks like a king or duke would stay.”

“right?”

From Kim Seung-soo’s point of view, this is a castle with an atmosphere that wouldn’t be awkward even if the demon king lived there.

On the other hand, Phoenix is not used to it, so it is a disgusting space.

“You’re right.”

“yes?”

“It’s a castle where the king once resided and now the duke resides.” Leaving behind the wide-eyed Cole, I looked around again. Looking back on the memories of Phoenix, I am convinced.

“It’s ‘Tow’s Den.’”

“If it’s Tow’s Den...

Cole half-opened his mouth in surprise.

“Are you saying that this is Phoenix-sama’s family castle?”

“that’s right. It is the capital of Ireland and the birthplace of the two ducal families of Zahakar and Baluin.”

“Ah... Cole, whose mouth was wide open, nodded, regaining his composure.

“Then, this must be another dream of Phoenix-sama.”

“...well. I don’t think so.”

“yes? What do you mean?”

He raised his eyebrows at his questioning gaze and shrugged.

“It feels a bit strange to me. It’s not like my dream.”

I mean, Kim Seung-soo took Phoenix’s body and swallowed his soul.

At first, Kim Seung-soo and Phoenix’s souls did not mix like water and oil. However, after awakening to the ‘legendary lineage’ through shedding, their souls became properly united, and in the process, they absorbed most of Phoenix’s memories.

Of course, even now, after going through a series of processes, the ego as Kim Seung-soo is much stronger than the ego as Phoenix.

So, it feels a bit strange that Phoenix’s dream is manifested now.

“And decisively.”

After a moment of thought, I glanced up at the road we were standing on. It’s a familiar trail, but it’s a space that doesn’t mean anything to Phoenix.

“Look over there.”

W......

Following my chin gesture, Cole looked away and widened his eyes. It was because a human spirit appeared at the bottom of the road winding along the wall.

“Here.”

It was a familiar-looking woman who said that.

A woman wearing luxurious boots, shiny leather pants, and a vest with gold buttons. It was Heila.

“I waited a long time.”

She climbed up at a leisurely pace and blinked her eyes at me.

I burst out laughing when I read the welcome doctor’s disrespectful words in those eyes.

“Is this in your dream?”

“that’s right.”

“How did you realize?”

“I knew right away.”

” as soon as?”

“huh. It is a dream I have every day.”

Cole and I looked puzzled, but Heila seemed unwilling to explain further. Taking a leisurely step, she passed us and headed up the promenade.

“Follow me.”

“...Where are you going?”

“There is an exit.”

Heila’s white finger pointed to the palace in the distance.

The space where she and Phoenix spent their childhood. It was the ducal palace ‘Takanto’.
