My Villains Episode 291
53. Midnight Sun (10)
Phoenix shouted from the top of the gate tower of Seteniora Monastery.
“Push away—!”
At his shouting, mercenaries and soldiers gritted their teeth and brandished their weapons, but the undead, who were not afraid of death, endlessly climbed the castle.
“We need more support here!”
“There’s nothing like that, so push each other! Don’t be afraid of those zombie bastards!”
The bastion protruding to the left of the gate tower where Phoenix stood was already occupied by zombies.
The soldiers were blocking it with their bodies, but despite the sergeant’s threats, the defense line looked as if it would collapse at any moment.
“Confidence!”
“Yes, come on!” Phoenix immediately muttered ‘Aello’ and boomed! rose up He crossed over such a complex wall at once and fell into a bastion full of zombies.
“Follow me!”
Among the frost-covered corpses, Phoenix wildly wielded two longswords and ran wild.
The morning star in his right hand made the blade brighter than a torch and burned away the evil energy. The black ice in his left hand was as long as a long spear and swept all over the place in a circle.
Whenever the two black and white swords flashed, as few as two to as many as ten zombies tumbled across the floor or fell out of the castle.
The limbs were severed, the torso melted, and the head blown off.
“Damn it-”
However, compared to the undead army now pouring in, the number of zombies Phoenix was killing was only a handful.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t completely stop the zombies from climbing up the curtain wall.
Nettle fluid-
Phoenix quickly leaned back at the shocking sound that sent chills down his spine. At that moment, a long bone arrow scratched the side of his head. It was a skeleton
knight
who had a bloody blood and stared at the bloody eyes.
It was clad in riveted armor, wrapped in a wide scarf like a hood, and was reloading a white heavy crossbow with pale smoke.
Phoenix traced his memory as Kim Seung-soo and realized that the crossbow was a rare object with the name of ‘Dead Man’s Crossbow’.
“Esson Javelin!”
“Here we are!”
After smashing the head of the zombie that had just climbed over the battlements with his polehammer, Esson kicked the leather case containing the javelin with his toe.
Stepping on the slippery leather shed with her feet, Phoenix raised her blood. Long, sharp icicles on the black ice shattered.
The dark red ice shards, which were broken into dozens of pieces, exploded all at once with a sharp roar just before scattering under the castle.
Geu uh uh—
corpses that had been hacked to pieces by the storm of blood splintered.
Taking advantage of that gap, Phoenix put the black ice into the scabbard and moved the morning star into his left hand. At the same time, he kicked a javelin protruding from the leather sheath with his toe.
Wedge!
Right after that, a solid black line was drawn on the battlefield where the red light shimmered. The javelin thrown by Phoynix flew like lightning and got stuck in the abdomen of the Skeleton Knight holding the crossbow.
Kwajik!
Ignoring the soldiers who let out stupid exclamations, Mungchi swallowed a groan as he opened and closed his stiff grip. Although his strength had improved considerably, it was still difficult to sever three vertebrae in succession.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Thanks to Munchchi’s performance, there was only one Banshee left on the battlefield. The guy who watched the disappearance of his comrades didn’t even look near the curtain wall and only screamed over the heads of the zombies.
And in response to the evil will contained in the scream, the remains of the scattered zombies began to gather under the curtain wall. The wriggling flesh and bones were glued together by frost and rotten blood.
Occasionally, Phoenix’s longsword ‘Morning Star’ swallowed the purified corpse, producing smoke and melting the flesh it came into contact with, but that was only a small part.
In an instant, the wriggling pile of flesh rose to a height similar to that of a curtain wall. The soldiers screamed in astonishment when they saw the mass of flesh that strangely resembled a human shape.
“Ugh, that’s an abomination-evil!”
“fire! You must throw the torch!”
“No wait! Sprinkle with oil first!”
Among the frightened soldiers, the burnt Donel screamed and threw a jar of oil. Several mercenaries and soldiers followed him, pouring out jars of oil they had gathered on one side of the curtain wall and throwing torches at them.
Wow!
The flames quickly blazed fiercely, and the flesh quickly melted away. The abomination on fire screamed through hundreds of mouths all over its body.
Banshee, who had been projecting morale in the air to create red water, dragged not only corpses piled up under the curtain wall, but also zombies that were moving normally, and restored him. Snow and frost carried over the corpse and covered the flames. Thanks to the evil energy that spread across the battlefield, the beast grew in size even faster.
Kwuu-
The monstrous creature that rose more than 8 meters stretched out a mass of flesh that stretched like an arm. The soldiers’ faces were dyed blue at the heavy hand heading for the curtain wall.
“Avoid this man!”
“Come-Ah!”
Quaang!
The water, made from hundreds of corpses, crushed dozens of soldiers and hung them from the wall. At the impact, the curtain wall poured out pebbles and stone fragments as if it would collapse at any moment.
“hmm! It is a big game.”
On the other side of Phoenix, Utequai wielded a whip of hellfire and her eyes lit up. For a moment, he raised his mana and flung himself into the gray wind.
“Shiko rec’ne (look at me)!
A chain whip was wrapped around the monster’s neck. Utequai swelled his muscles red and pulled the chain. A mass of flesh as large as the citadel tilted forward.
As the abomination lost its balance, Utequai threw herself under the curtain wall, clutching the chain whip. Then, he landed, crushing the zombies.
Kwu-uk
Hong-mul clung to the curtain wall and stumbled. Then, as the chain around his neck spewed fire, he leaned forward as if shrinking from the heat.
“Graaaak!”
Utequai pulled the chain whip with a loud cry. The abomination fell backwards slowly, like a fat tower tipping over.
Kuuung-
“Uh ha-!”
Utequai sneered and ran as the abomination lay in the mud, a mixture of corpses and snow.
After bouncing off the surrounding zombies with bull-like momentum, he jumped up and stood on top of the monster. Then, gathering the whirling gray wind with his right foot, he slammed the monster down.
Kwurreung-!
With the stomping that shook the ground, the hideous mass of flesh exploded furiously.
It wasn’t just the bones and flesh disintegrated, but the evil energy that made the body move was shattered.
Utequai, who jumped out of the curtain wall, ran rampant like a titan in mythology and subdued the monster, but the crisis at the monastery was just beginning.
