My Villains Episode 450
66. The Silver Prince (5)
The passage connecting the present world and the quasi-dimension was full of darkness.
Woo woo woong –
It’s dark in front of my eyes. The senses are so tangled that it is impossible to tell whether they are falling, rising, being thrown away, or being dragged.
Wait a moment for that strange confusion.
I was standing in the middle of the bare sand.
“...what the fuck.”
Is it because I activated the dimensional seal a little hastily? The dream land was copying a very unpleasant space.
“If only.”
I clicked my tongue as I scanned the empty playground and the surrounding brick buildings, and a figure popped out of nowhere without any sign.
“Is it big?”
It was Prince Savellard, an aristocratic young man clad in plate armor, who fell into the sand with a dull sound.
As if he had the qualifications of a knight of his own, he promptly rolled on the floor and got up. It was not long before I hurriedly drew my sword and looked at the strange and strange scenery. I finally met my eyes and held my breath.
“The red knight... What kind of witchcraft is this!”
“well.”
Instead of answering, he waved his hand once.
Kurreung-
“Huck”
The bleak landscape of the orphanage ripples. The yellowed windows, the faucet with stagnant concrete water, and the rusty railings of Guryeongdae are distorted.
The building was crumpled and torn like a cigarette pack, but neither sharpened with rebar nor scattered broken bricks. The cement floor bent like a rubber mat and then disappeared like dust, and the rough sand field flowed like water being sucked into a sink.
“.... .hmm?”
I slightly narrowed my brows.
In this small quasi-dimensional so-called ‘Land of Dreams’, I am no different than a god. Even a very feeble expression of will can go against reason, and a single gesture can turn the world upside down. What if this is not God?
Gugung Guggugung.
But now something is strange.
Even though he commanded with full will, the speed at which the dream land changed was too slow.
Usually, in the blink of an eye a couple of times, a whole new world would unfold. On the other hand, now, as if buffering has taken place, the scenery
is repeating its collapse and then stop.
Unlike the control over the quasi-dimensions that had gone awry, perception and cognition were still godlike. Thanks to this, I was immediately able to figure out what was causing this problem.
“What are you?”
Savellard, who caught my gaze, smiled wryly even as the ground wriggled and swayed.
“Did you drag the branch of the fantasy world and lock it in a subspace? I couldn’t imagine. I would never have thought that a rider of light bullswould have such a talent.” Charreuk.
Before he knew it, both hands were holding dozens or even hundreds of thin, translucent chains. It was a chain spewed out by fine hatches drawn black in the air.
“that.”
“I am the man who will become the master of the land of Altenberg and its people.”
He pulled hundreds of chains as if they were holding reins with colorful iron gloves engraved with leaf patterns.
“The fantasy world-dream is a very familiar space to me. Because it is a place where you can look into the true inner world of your dear servants.”
Caught in the middle –
A sharp metallic character, as if an iron plate were being torn apart. As the chains were pulled tight, the slashes that floated in the air gradually widened. Whitish heads wearing helmets came out from the dimensional boundary.
they are slave soldiers
Alzenberg’s army, whose body was subdued with all sorts of elixirs and spells, and their consciousness was subdued through dreams.
Besides, the things creeping into my quasi-dimension now weren’t just shadows.
“...Is it a soul?”
“Looks like the color of the eyes is not a decoration.”
The prince, who summoned his followers with great control, already had hundreds of soul soldiers around him. Even so, the gaps in the dimension that floated in the air constantly spewed out whitish shapes.
“It is the secret to eliciting absolute obedience from converted heretics.”
A voice filled with pride continued.
“The loyalty they show is different from the thin flair of soldiers from other families. It is unshakable because it is rooted deep in the ego, and it is immortal because it is engraved in the center of the soul.”
So many souls squeezed into the Dreaming Lands that the rippling and overturning scenery came to a near standstill. Due to the souls tied to translucent chain collars, the form of the quasi-dimensional has been fixed...
“Do you understand, Red Knight? This is truly absolute loyalty.”
“Crazy. They say that even after being served as slaves for a lifetime, they don’t have enough, so now they even take out their souls?”
“Strictly speaking, it’s not that I draw and write. It is to reap those who have lost their bodies and are no longer useful as masters.”
“......what?”
It wasn’t too difficult to notice the meaning behind Savelad’s words.
“Then those are not slave soldiers fighting outside right now-”
“Ha. If so, did you think I would take the souls from soldiers who were still fighting? What a stupid and evil idea.”
The young prince smiled and then proudly spread his arms.
Heheh.
A feeling of strength that is stronger than that of plate armor and a warmth resembling a mother’s arms surrounds the whole body. A sense of omnipotence overflows from the body, which has grown to about two spans, and the perfected ego sets its feet on transcendence.
I let go of the knife I was holding.
Ten blades sprouted from both hands, so there was no reason to cling to one sword.
“...What is that? A monster-”
You can see colorful emotions among the slaves who wail meaninglessly.
“Huh billion.”
Prince Savellard, who met his eyes with the bright yellow light, trembled his chin and stomped his butt. My tongue flicked at the emotion shining brightly in the achromatic world.
“Don’t stop. Kill!”
Woo-ah Ah-Ah-
I spurred the sand that flowed like water and flew towards the loose souls.
Hee hee.
The pale blades of the slaves of eternity grazed their necks, flanks and thighs, but not a single piece of scale fell. I swung my claws in all directions while swinging my tail in the air to balance.
Suuuung-
Her nails, which resemble hooks, were tinged with a brilliant red light before she knew it.
The Prince of Alzenberg and the Red Knight reappeared on the battlefield as suddenly as they disappeared.
“trunnion-!”
The first to spot them was the Black Woman. She hid herself in the shadows beneath the blazing fire, and leaped out of the darkness as soon as she saw a black figure appearing in the air.
“Uh-uh-wook!”
“Hot why? What’s wrong?”
When Phoenix vomited, Rannon supported him as if he was hanging on to his side. At the same time, he inspected his hands through the eerie mask resembling a white bone.
“Kwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu000bclasped
the neck of the young prince with blood frothing at the mouth in his right hand.
A white glow emanated from the forearm on the other side, and a chain-shaped wave waved very faintly through it.
-Lannon, can that be?
The black woman looked up at the bandit, leaving the young shaman’s voice behind her.
“...what happened to what happened.”
“Eh yes? Poi, are you okay?”
“No at all.”
“at all?”
“huh.”
Phoenix smiled weakly and stood in balance. She tousled Rannon’s hair, who was looking up at him with his neck bent as if it would break, and raised his left hand high.
The next moment, dozens of thin and thick chains protruded from his arm.
Charreuk.
Is it because of the scene unfolding before my eyes? The woman in black seemed to hear that.
-As expected... you seem to have succeeded.
Thanks to the senses provided by the soul shaman lurking in the background, Rannon was able to perceive what was happening.
The chains that came from the red knight’s forearms spread across the entire battlefield. The end was followed by the commanders leading the slaves of Alzenberg, including the slave corps’ superior commander and the magician’s leader. It also extended to sergeants acting for commanders and soldiers who had lost even sergeants.
Frowning at the bizarre connection transmitted through his left arm, Phoenix murmured softly.
“Put down your weapon and lie down.” It did not take long for Altenberg’s faithful slaves to carry out their orders.
As many as 3,000 slave soldiers and magic bottles collapsed in place, not only the electorate army but also the army following Prince Ulkar were taken aback.
“This is—what are you all doing!”
“Stand up madness! Raise your arms!”
The imperial knights of Altzenberg and the officers of House Strom screamed in bewilderment, but the slaves did not budge.
The Elector’s army, whose momentum was weakened by the enemy’s reinforcements that appeared in succession, lost 80% of the total force due to the surrender of the slave soldiers and magic soldiers.
Even the soldiers led by the silver prince and the thunder giant Jaan’s demon giant knight, the red dragon, etc., outnumbered the resisting electorate.
“Retreat – retreat!”
“Take His Highness the Duke!”
Sensing the situation, Strom’s leaders began a desperate run. At that moment, the resistance was completely over, and all soldiers except the slaves of Altenberg began to scatter in all directions.
Prince Ulkar tried to pursue them with a small force of cavalry, but after an arduous forced march the horses lost sight of the Duke of Avilamber and his retainers as they rode up the eastern hills.
The silver prince climbed the hill, soothing the war horse that was drooling out of strength and raised a silver prosthetic arm.
“So far. There is no need to overdo it.”
Taking off his lion-shaped helmet, Ulkar sighed deeply as he faced the dawn.
“It’s finally over.”
Then, with a faint smile, he looked back at the knights gathered around him.
“A win. Everyone has suffered.”
That simple declaration was carried through the mouth and through the wind.
And after a while, the soldiers of the kingdom shouted like thunder as they watched the rising sun and the silver prince.
