The Blood Knight’s Villains

My Villains Episode 137

36. The Baroness’ Request (1)

We escaped the rift safely.

Hmm, is it a bit strange to say this? There is one dead person, but it’s ‘safely’.

Still, it was miraculous that everyone else risked their lives.

At least I was about to die. Right before I could get out of the crack, the ground under my feet collapsed.

If Atalanta, who had regained some sanity, held out his purple spear and Utequai hadn’t grabbed it, Atalanta and I would have been caught in the collapse of the rift and reduced to dust.

Anyway, the indigo world, which gave a strange and terrible experience, collapsed like that.

Unlike the noisy cracks, the present world was peaceful. The mine was as dark as before, so I couldn’t even tell if it was night or day.

Outside the mine, we faced the dawn. A day and a half had passed since the rift had been closed.

” first.”

I looked back at the party while wearing the rag that Amias gave me.

“It would be impossible to move more, so I need to fix it.”

Immediately after my words, a temporary camp was set up. The mercenaries scattered around the mine entrance took care of each other’s wounds and took a break.

Ellen, who passed out immediately after my shedding, had been soundly asleep until now.

“…It must be mana poisoning.”

“A mana poisoning?”

Wizard Shiren nodded and replied.

“It’s a symptom that appears when you overuse mana. Ms. Ellen must be in a pretty serious condition, as she has refilled her mana several times with crystal balls and potions.”

“Ugh. Then what should I do?”

“There is no specific action to be taken… Siren continued, glancing at Ellen.

“Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like you’re going to lose your life, so if you don’t use mana and rest, you’ll be fine. Um maybe.”

“Are you saying you can’t use spells?”

“To be precise, we need to reduce the fluctuations in mana to a minimum. Considering Ellen’s magical power level, we can’t stop mana from being recovered, so we have to prevent it from being consumed.”

“hmm. All right.”

“ah. And it’s good to keep away from magic tools as much as possible. It will continue to stimulate mana.”

When Siren returned to his party, I retrieved Ellen’s magical tools, namely the wand and feathered robe. Instead, he wrapped the thick cloak he had brought for camping.

While quietly stroking the sleeping Ellen’s hair, Utequai suddenly opened her mouth.

“She shed a lot of blood. When they wake up, they must be fed meat.”

“…so much blood was spilled?”

Utequai, who was sitting on a nearby rock, nodded, bandaging his stomach.

“I thought you needed blood to save you, girl. So I shed blood.”

“…Ellen.”

“I don’t know what eyes my mother will look at. But Phoenix was the right decision for you.”

Utequai tore off the end of the bandage with his teeth. After finishing it roughly like that, I lay flat on my back.

“So do not be distressed.”

“…Are you in pain?”

“It is honorable to eat the blood and heart of an enemy. Eating the blood and heart of a friend is a monster’s job.”

Utequai continued with an arm pillow.

“You are not a monster. Not yet.”

When I was silent, Utequai soon fell asleep.

…It’s a monster job. What would Utequai say if he found out that I gorged on Ellen’s blood?

Shaking his head, which became complicated, he stabbed Ellen’s forearm. Then they cut the palm of my hand and put the bleeding parts together.

His dominance over blood became stronger than before. Thanks to this, he was able to hand over enough blood to Ellen without wasting a single drop.

A blush came over Ellen’s pale face. The trembling had subsided, and the lips bloomed in pink.

After stopping the bleeding, I look down at Ellen, but she suddenly looks unfamiliar.

A pale face with golden hair. Long eyelashes curled like crossing each other, a sharp nose and thick lips. Cute ears, a pure white neck, a handful of slender shoulders and a waist….

Even if I tried to open it two or three times in a strange mood, Ellen was still the same.

Yes, it’s definitely the same…

“Uh W

I guess I’m crazy.

Dog-like trolls. Drinking their blood must have given rise to strange thoughts.

However, a different voice is heard from somewhere in the heart.

…why? What’s the matter? What’s crazy and what’s a weird idea?

“Ah, fucking feet.”

My head seemed to be in a mess, so I was swearing, but the approaching people shuddered.

“…Mummy? Boonie?”

The freckled mummy and the distant Bunny approached with hesitation.

“Not because of that, but because of this.” At Mira’s words, Bunny pushed something out. It was something like a black bundle.

“What is this?”

“You will know when you see it.”

As soon as the bundle was removed, I opened my eyes wide.

“You took all of this? In the midst of that urgency?”

“I took it quickly because I thought I would regret it if I threw it away.”

The identity of the bundle that Mira and Buny brought were items I had spilled over the rift.

‘Dragon Slayer’s Seal’ and ‘Death King’s Scale Belt’. There was even a ‘Rainbow of Incidents’, a set of necklaces and accessories obtained from ‘Fancog of Madness’.

Come to think of it, it was the half-cloak that I got from Torvald, the fast foot, that was used as the cloth for the bundle.

“That stone slab and the cloak wrapped around the headless corpse seemed pretty expensive, but I didn’t get them.”

What Mira was talking about was ‘Tombstone’ and ‘Angel’s Ruin’.

Looking back, I couldn’t even see the aquamarine ring I had been wearing since I fell into this world. But, well, that ring is something I got from Rep Zone.

Oh no money I’m glad I lost some of my personal money and public money.

He quickly shook off his regret and smiled.

“Hey, it’s okay. Where is this?”

As I said that, I put the dragon slayer’s seal on my finger.

“Huh.”

The body that went through the shedding was stronger than before. Adding to that the seal of the dragon slayer, it was clearly felt that he had become stronger and more agile.

Mira and Boonie were making awkward faces while I tried to squeeze a fist at a force I had never felt before.

“thanks. I will definitely reward you for this.”

“No thanks.”

Despite my repeated thanks, Mira and Boonie waved their hands. Mira, who had wet her lips for a while, hesitated before opening her mouth.

“Just a few gold coins are enough. And”

“And?”

“That Mr. Ellen.”

“…Ellen?”

Mira and Boonie’s faces turned white as if they had read something in my face.

“No, nothing else.”

“…what. Why did you suddenly become polite?”

“Oh, that.”

Seemingly frustrated at Mira’s stuttering, Boony stepped forward and spoke out.

“I want to ask you to take good care of Ellen if she tries to harm us.”

“…Ellen hurting you?

why’?”

“It’s just a request, just in case.”

I glanced back at Ellen. The guy who was sleeping wheezingly had a face like an angel.

“don’t worry. Nothing will happen.”

“…I just wanted to hear that story.”

Mira and Boonie, whose faces brightened, disappeared as if they were running away.

what are these guys?

I was about to sit next to Ellen again when another guest came.

“Sir Phoenix.”

“Mr. Zanavas?”

Druid Zanavas approached with staggering steps and smiled bitterly.

“Hatanka is already asleep.”

“Utequa, well, he’s a guy who can sleep with just his butt on.”

Zanavas made a strange expression for a moment, then let out a deep sigh.

“Sorry, Sir Phoenix.”

“…What do you mean?”

“Hmm, it looks like you didn’t hear anything because you were in a hurry.”

Zanavas briefly explained the situation in the rift.

They said that it was a shame that I was caught by Karamek’s thoughts and the power of the underworld, and that they were caught by Ellen while trying to escape.

“So I want to say sorry.”

“…Uh, I see.”

“Actually, I was going to tell you later, but if I didn’t move right away, Siren would be ready to spit fire…

I silently scratched my eyebrows while Zanavas kept repeating himself.

…It’s so vague.

If I had been awake in that situation, I would have picked everyone’s head.

However, after the matter was resolved somehow, he came to see me and told me honestly, so it was a little funny that I pursued the wrongdoing.

Taking a quick look, Zanavas’ face was pale. No wounds were visible, but it must have been quite severe. Simos, the swordsman resting over there, was missing an eye.

When I spoke up, Zanavas agreed and kept his mouth shut.

“I am fine. I don’t remember anything, because he fought to save me anyway.”

“Thank you for saying that, Sir Phoenix.”

“No thank you. but.”

I chinned the sleeping Ellen and shrugged.

“I don’t know what Ellen will think.” “…well, I see.”

Zanavas chose the words in his mouth, eventually swallowed them and withdrew.

We rested all the way into the evening. Everyone was tired and injured so badly that they had to conserve energy to move.

At sunset, they came down from the mountain and set up camp in the forest. After spending the night here, I planned to move to the mountain cabin as soon as the day dawned.

The reason he went to the mountain lodge instead of Longville was because the lord’s army had been defeated.

Anupards would swarm around here, but there was no reason to return to Longville now.

It was fortunate that the spots and bundles were sent to the mountain cabin. Before leaving Longville, I had asked Atalante’s clan members just in case. Looking back, it was truly a godsend.

Suddenly, the bundle came to mind swimming with short legs in the bathtub. When we get back, we should take a bath together.

During that maintenance, I was able to check the character sheet.

Me and Ellen Utequai went up two levels.

It was definitely a pleasure to have risen by two levels, but the experience felt a bit salty, perhaps because of my mood.

So, I roughly calculated the experience, but it turned out that the experience wasn’t enough to level up twice.

Perhaps, for some unknown reason, he wondered if he had received a bonus experience.

Ellen and Utequayah aside, my character sheet was just going crazy.

Name: B

Level: 22

Class: Blood Knight

Stats: Remaining Bonus – 1

Strength – 27 (51) Agility – 26 (48) Health – 24 (42) Magic – 20 (30)

Skill:

Blood Blade 6pt Loot 2pt

Blood Shield 3pt

Flowing Blood 5pt Hot Blood 3pt Legendary Lineage Ipt Thirst 4pt Bloodthirst 2pt

Blood Vora Ipt

The first thing that stood out was, of course, the ability level.

As a level up bonus, all I raised was strength and agility, and 1 health point each. The rest went through this job and went up for free.

The points gained for free were 1 point each for strength and agility, 2 points for health, and 8 points for horsepower. Converting it into a bonus, he got almost 6 levels worth of stats for free.

Strangely, the skill was the same.

As a level up bonus, I strengthened ‘Blood Shield’ and ‘Blood Thirst’ by 1 point, and ‘Blood Blade’ and ‘Loot’ went up by myself.

The most bizarre thing was the ‘legendary lineage’.

This is a special passive skill related to lineage, and the acquisition level is 25. However, it was just recorded.

After doing a simple calculation, my abilities were at level 29 and my skills were at level 28.

It’s getting stronger, of course it’s a good thing… Suddenly, the flavor text of ‘Legendary Lineage’ came to mind.

– The terrible power of your bloodline awakens.

X feet, is this okay?
