I Became the Villain of a Dark Fantasy

Episode

5 .

As the divine power soared, the bushes that hid the body collapsed due to the reaction.

Well over a hundred dead people relentlessly pursued life with their eyes.

The new recruits fell naked into the cage of beasts, but rather than running away, they grabbed their swords.

They fight by borrowing the holy power emitted by the Paladin. Although they themselves could not express their divine power, they displayed high skills when the Paladins were together.

But Iden couldn’t trust them. When I was about to order them to wait in the rear, Xerath opened his mouth.

“You can’t always fight alone. Learn how to use even the lack of power.”

Then, as he chanted an incantation, the bodies of the dead bubbling up.

Soon after, it swelled, and pus and ooze-like things gushed out from the rotten flesh.

“I couldn’t cancel the spell, but I prepared for it in my own way.”

As it continued to expand, it suddenly exploded. Pieces of flesh and bone splattered in all directions, and melted intestines and ooze rained down.

The smell of death covered the cemetery. Mekehan gas engulfed the surroundings.

‘When he’s an ally, he’s definitely reliable.’

On the other hand, he was a very demanding character. To the extent that there is a separate strategy book.

Xerath narrowed his brows.

“He is quite a man.”

The gas that was released as the corpse exploded completely obscured the view.

Iden watched the road ahead and waited for it to calm down.

“Carefully. The opponent is not talking about something.”

“Don’t worry about me, just focus on the firepower in the rear.”

“hahahaha! I can’t find any tension. Got it. Leave one recruit behind.”

Aiden wrinkled his face slightly and looked at Xerath. I was thinking of leaving all the new recruits as Xerath’s escorts.

“Give them one more chance. Who would be a veteran from the start? Unless you’re a monster.”

The recruits were gripping their swords so tightly that their hands shook. There was fear, but also strong determination.

Aiden glanced at them and let out a short breath.

“Remember, I cannot protect you once the battle begins. Do you know?”

Euron gritted his teeth and replied.

“Ah, I know!”

The rest followed Euron and shouted loudly.

“Even if I die, I will die fighting heresy!”

“I will dedicate this body to God!”

Aiden suddenly had doubts about the existence of God, but shook off his thoughts.

They decided to fight and risked their lives. I had no intention of denying that decision. Aiden decided to leave it behind.

He approached the recruits and patted them on the shoulder.

“Remove your strength. The body becomes dull. When the battle begins, maintain a wedge shape with 2 people on each side behind me. Don’t break ranks, stick with them until the end. Do you understand?”

“””understand!”””

The gas was slowly dissipating. Several dozen returned to nature, but in terms of numbers, they were still vastly outnumbered.

A cold chill flowed from the mouths of the dead. Jealousy for life urged death.

“The heretic you hate so much is over there!”

Aiden drew the holy sword. The blade that absorbed moonlight and divinity shimmered blue.

“Save the dead and act as God’s judgment!”

The halo exploded. Instead of the sun, it lit up the night.

The new recruits began consecration. Iden’s divine power was overlaid on their armaments, and they memorized a short prayer.

—-We lament our destruction and act as divine punishment. Fear is a luxury, death is an honor.

Aiden roared like a beast and jumped into the arms of the dead.

I swung the holy sword horizontally. clear trajectory. The half-circle sword cut the waists of the dead.

Aiden galloped at full speed, slicing through everything in his way. The key to wedge formation was momentum and mobility.

The moment you are surrounded and lose momentum, your morale plummets. After that, it was ruin.

The location of the necromancer was confirmed. the edge of the cemetery. A moment ago, it was a person who suddenly landed on the ground.

Remnants of the dead rose in all directions. Everything that got in my way was swept away in an instant. The light swallowed the darkness and opened the way.

The recruits realized that the paladin in front of them was a monster. Wearing heavy armor and running while brandishing a sword, it was hard to match the speed.

However, they also squeezed the strength they had been suckling. He slashed the dead who were closing in on his side and followed closely behind Aiden.

Fear soared in the rear. Xerath’s holy magic. Iden was able to focus on the front.

‘Useful.’

Xerath was reliable, and the new recruits were doing their part. I had to get used to fighting like this.

“Speed up!”

Notice is coming. Aiden ran through the graveyard with great momentum.

It crushed and trampled all obstacles like a chariot.

The halo burns brighter. The haze continued like a tail and left footprints.

drunken recruits. My muscles scream and my lungs swell, but for now it’s all good.

Even the fact that they could fight like this, who were destitute at the training center, was overwhelming.

At the forefront was Iden.

“This is the last time! Hold on!”

Magi became much worse. If you go beyond the dead in front of you, you will see the necromancer.

If you catch him, everything is over. The dead will be released from their restraints and return to their places.

It was the key to dealing with the necromancer.

Aiden crouched down. And when it spurred the ground and ran through the air.

His expression contorted in astonishment.

“Dark Warrior…?”

The ghost of a warrior trapped in black smoke was staring at the new recruits. Red eyes twinkled.

The Dark Warrior gripped the hilt.

“Hold your head!”

An ominous blade swept across the front. They cut off the dead without identifying their friends and family, and cut off the head of one recruit.

Aiden didn’t even know his name.

“f*ck!”

The weight-bearing sword was dropped vertically. The blades collided with each other, making a loud noise.

The Dark Warrior slid backwards and absorbed the shock.

‘Damn it, why is this guy now.’

The Dark Warrior laughed lowly.

“You are having fun.”

fishy voice. A man in a black priestly robe appeared from behind the Dark Warrior.

“My warrior has recognized you as an adversary.”

Protruding cheekbones and sunken cheeks. And the wide eyes were no longer the features of a normal person.

But Aiden couldn’t remember such a person.

A magician who can command a Dark Warrior would be a name to some extent, and if he looked like that, he would be remembered unconditionally.

“sh*t.”

I had no choice but to see it as the result of choosing Hell as the difficulty.

Aiden felt dizzy. Even if you risk your life to fight, you have to keep the dark warriors in front of you and care about the dead who are narrowing your back.

It’s been 2 years since I fell into the game. Many crosses were crossed, but another hurdle came.

‘I was too complacent.’

Aiden bit his lip.

“Ah, Sir Aiden!”

The three remaining recruits were fending off the dead coming like a tidal wave.

One formation has already lost momentum. After stepping back, Iden’s back would touch, and then the situation would be over.

Surrounded by the dead, they will be slaughtered.

I couldn’t even look back. The moment I take my eyes off the Dark Warrior, Iden’s life is in danger.

There was no answer to the war of attrition against the undead. The only thing he could trust right now was Xerath. I wished in my heart that he would think the same as me.

“Zerath!”

At the same time, a huge flame burned the graveyard and engulfed the dead in the rear.

I bought some time.

“Iden, how much longer can you hold out!”

“I will endure as long as I can!”

“good! I’ll try my best too.”

Xerath started running around the cemetery. Many dead followed behind him.

He surrounded the rear of the recruits with flames like a barrier. Xerath’s expression was slightly distorted.

‘Zerath also started to overdo it.’

First, I had to make the most of the time he gave me.

“Iden, aim for the Command Core! I will capture the sorcerer!”

The necromancer spotted Xerath and started running away.

Euron and the recruits were confronting the dead with flames in between. Their shoulders trembled a little.

Iden shouted loudly.

“I’ll leave your back!”

“No, just leave it to me!”

Iden focused on the Dark Warrior again.

‘I can’t just trust Xerath and wait.’

If you catch the sorcerer, the specter will disappear, but you should assume the worst.

I fight with the thought of knocking him down.

Iden closed the distance and dug into him. A stab aimed at the heart. The specter obediently allowed Iden to attack.

Black smoke came out like blood, but the specter was not hit. A low sneer followed.

‘I guessed wrong.’

As long as the core is not destroyed, the Dark Warrior regenerates infinitely.

That was also his weakness.

A killing machine that knows no pain and fear, the only place that cares about defense. Because it was the vital point where the nucleus was located.

Of course, each body part is different. Iden had to find that place from now on.

The Dark Warrior grabbed the holy sword embedded in his chest with one hand.

The divine power burned his grip and body, but he didn’t blink an eye.

Aiden raised his divine power to the limit. The smell of burning wafted through. Iden draws down diagonally. His upper body was torn open.

‘It’s not even the right lower abdomen.’

At the same time, his iron sword fell over his head. Aiden rolled one round to evade, then sliced his thigh.

The Dark Warrior’s center of gravity tilted, but it was only for a moment.

In an instant, he kicked Iden in the stomach with his regenerated leg.

It was several times stronger than before. Aiden bounced off and crashed into a giant tree.

Had it not been for the holy grail, the intestines would have burst.

“Hey, are you okay there!”

“Concentrate on your mission!”

There was no answer when it penetrated to the back. The guy approaches, dragging a knife.

‘The rest is the head or the left leg. Or is it an arm…?’

I couldn’t pinpoint it unless I cut the whole body one by one.

Suddenly, he approached and raised his iron sword with both hands. sharp crackling sound. Aiden quickly raised the holy sword horizontally to block it.

Swords collided with swords and sparks flew. A stab, dull ripple spread through his arms and through his whole body.

‘for a moment.’

Come to think of it, this was the second time they had crossed swords. When Iden first lunged at him, he made sure to defend himself.

‘head.’

Aiden used the giant tree behind his back as a support and strengthened his arms. Mitral, biceps, triceps, forearms. Every muscle swelled like it would explode. The seams of the sacred armor seemed to scream.

A clash of strength and power. Iden had a narrow advantage. He pushed forward and cut off the ghost’s sword.

At the same time, Iden twisted his back and raised his leg. The shin, which flew in a parabolic arc, burst the specter’s skull.

Black smoke scattered in all directions. The headless warrior stopped standing.

‘Is it okay?’

Iden took a few steps back and opened up the distance. But it was a bit strange. He showed no will to defend…

Sure enough, smoke began to permeate where the head had disappeared.

“sh*t!”

Apparently, he raised his sword to block it at first. Were you trying to protect your head?

Iden remembered the first attack. sword path. After splitting his head and sweeping his neck and upper body, he would have cut him in two by leading to his groin.

Not the neck and head. The upper body was also tested, so there was only one place left.

Iden pulled out the lance he was wearing. The flash war cut through the darkness and headed for the ghost’s crotch.

Kkong, the spear bounced off and got stuck in the mud. The guy was more desperate than ever.

It was dark under the lamp, and the vitals were in the real vitals. He didn’t laugh anymore. He seemed angry.

Aiden drew a cruel smile.

“It was there.”

He screamed and charged at Iden. The specter swung the iron sword fiercely. He continued to push Aiden without getting tired.

The longer the fight against the undead, the more disadvantageous it is. He knows no fatigue.

On the other hand, Aiden’s strength was draining, so he had to end this fight quickly.

“Euron! Don’t look back, do your duty!”

From now on, it wasn’t a paladin’s fight. If someone sees it, the integrity level may be cracked.

“Ah, I see!”

Aiden switched from defense to attack. He thrust the knife into the man’s groin.

After lowering the stance, stab and cut. He didn’t hesitate to kick sometimes. Of course, there were no valid hits.

Aiden widened the distance a little, then threw the dagger in his arms into the guy’s lower body.

As soon as I was intercepted, I jumped in again. I deflected the ghost’s sword and put my weight on it, pushing him down.

I climbed up and pressed the ghost’s hand with my elbow, then put my remaining hand into the creature’s groin.

The ghost’s red eyes fluctuated.

A terrible grip penetrated the groin and ripped through the body. The specter howled like a fit, but Iden didn’t stop.

‘found.’

Aiden gripped the small sphere hard and pulled it out. Rotten flesh and chunks came with it.

Only then did the specter’s actions cease. The bright red eyes gradually faded. The captured spirits were blown away like smoke by the wind.

It didn’t take long for the gigantic warrior to turn into a shriveled corpse.

A huge amount of experience permeated like a wave.

Aiden moved without time to ponder the afterglow of the battle.

Grabbing the lance again, I aimed at the dead. The spear that flew like a shot broke the head of the dead man who captured Euron.

“Ah, Sir Aiden!”

It didn’t make sense to say that he was too fierce. Slime, flesh, and bone meal were stuck all over the body.

“The ghost is…”

“It was dealt with.”

The faces of the new recruits were colored with relief. It seemed that the first battle would be remembered forever.

There was no time to catch my breath.

“let’s go.”

It was time to judge the necromancer and punish those behind it.
