The Villain Who Robbed the Heroines

Chapter 244: ■■■■ ■■■ ■■■ (1)

Therefore, the moment they saw the dam collapse, everyone immediately prepared to depart from the camp. However, unlike them, Ferzen took advantage of the chaos to go to his hut.

“Hmm……”

Outside, the leaders who had already made all the preparations to depart glanced at Prince Raymond with palpable nervousness. However, unlike them, Prince Raymond was just sitting on his horse while quietly looking toward Eliatta Gorge.

‘I’m going crazy.’

Since the only people who could demand something from Ferzen were the old snake of Alfred Family and the Imperial Family whom Brutein had served loyally for a long time, the waiting nobles could only swallow their saliva and suppress their anxiety.

If Ferzen had not turned a blind eye to their act of abusing their authority and status in the process of recruiting members for the detached unit, one of them would surely have stepped forward in this situation.

However, since Ferzen still treated them with respect, albeit only on the outside, the leaders felt as if they were going to die because it felt like they were being put on an intangible leash.

“Count, Please come out quickly!”

Because of that, all they could do was make an earnest silent plea to Ferzen in their hearts.

In the meantime, Ferzen, the receiver of that silent plea, was bowing deeply toward the four past heads of the Brutein who were in his barracks.

“In this final battle, I will forget for a moment that I am the descendant of Brutein.”

Solely in order to survive.

“I will treat your corpses like mere tools.”

He would paint his life using Brutein’s history as a brush.

“Rather than respect and courtesy, I will control you with an ugly struggle for my own life and survival instinct.”

So in the distant future,

When he finally dies and goes to the Underworld,

“Please severely punish this immature and ugly descendant.”

After he finished voicing out his resolution, Ferzen straightened his back.

Then, from the outside which was no longer snowing, the sunlight shone from the cloudless sky and entered the window, casting sizable shadows in the room.

“……”

When Ferzen saw the illusion of Lizzy slowly rising from the shadow and gently stroked his cheek, he took out a dagger from his bosom and carved a shallow cut in his right arm.

Giggle-!!

Thanks to that, along with the curse that she had engraved in him, the illusion of her distinctive red eyes slowly faded away. However, her final sneer that was pointed at his struggle lingered in his ears, causing considerable discomfort to wash over him.

Lizzy, just watch from somewhere in the Underworld.

A mere villain\'s miserable and ugly struggle for his life.

Step-!!

Taking a heavy step, Ferzen left his hut along with the corpses of the past heads of Brutein.

The preparations were over.

It was time for departure.

* * * * *

Empress Gremory, who had finished preparing for their departure and had been on stand-by in Eliatta Gorge after hearing a report that Ernes Empire had finally moved, turned her head back at the incessant noise that entered her ears.

“Is there something wrong, Your Majesty?”

“It seems like they are pulling an interesting trick.”

“Pardon me?”

No matter how powerful her hearing was compared to that of a normal human, she still could not hear noises from really far places.

Nevertheless, the fact that she could hear the sound she was hearing was definitive proof that the noise was that loud.

……Creak-!!

……Splash-!!

Trees being uprooted,

And sounds like high waves hitting a cliff.

“Move the elemental wizards to the rear.”

“If we move them to the rear, they would not be able to respond to the enemy’s magic as fast……”

“Since when did you start to offer your own thoughts to my order?”

“I-I understand!”

The noble, who had received the order while at the same time subjected to Gremory\'s glaring gaze, quickly turned his horse\'s head and moved the elemental wizard unit to the rear.

However, even as he carried her order, his thoughts still tried to guess her intentions.

After all, from the perspective of a human without any talent for magic, elemental wizards were existences that were even scarier than the knights.

“?”

After he finished his task, the nobleman, who was about to turn his horse\'s head again and return to his original position, narrowed his eyes when he caught something on the horizon beyond.

At first, he thought it was just a fog which was created by the rain melting the snow. But as time went by, it became clearer that...…

"He…… Heok……!”

It was not a fog but a tsunami with overwhelming height.

A tyrant that covered the horizon and was violently devouring everything in its path.

“W-wall...… Build a wall! Qu-quickly–!”

The speed of the tsunami simply could not be predicted as the tsunami that had only been glimmering at the edge of the horizon suddenly became clearly visible to his eyes.

In case they were late in responding to it, they would definitely get swept and drowned in this place.

As he was not the only one who felt that fear, the elemental wizards that he had ordered quickly interfered with the earth and began to build a wall that should be higher than the cliffs of Eliatta Gorge.

At that moment the noble swallowed his saliva as he saw their camp being completely swept away beyond the wall which was getting higher and higher.

Even though they could easily rebuild their camp,

Food was not something that could be created here.

Ruuuumble-!!

Splash-!!

The noble felt his heart sink as the tsunami that had finally arrived in front of him hit the wall that had been built by the elemental wizards.

Fortunately, the tsunami was not able to destroy the wall.

It just branched into two towards the cliffs that were standing tall on their left and right.

Sigh!

Just looking at the water rushing over the cliffs of the canyon was enough for them to know just how high the water on the other side of the wall was.

However, before the water level of the tsunami even lowered, the Ernes Empire\'s army arrived in front of them while their escape route was completely blocked.

Since the cliffs of the Eliatta Gorge had been battered in many places due to the repeated battles that had happened, the raging waters that flowed through the gaps naturally did the same to the escape route of the Ernes Empire.

However, it could be said that their situation was better than the Elmark Empire.

After all, it was said that their food supply was stored in a different place in case of an unexpected situation happening.

One-day old puppy dares to block a tiger’s escape route……

Empress Gremory chuckled as she glanced at the battlefield which was prepared by the enemy.

As much as the enemy had prepared for their last stand in this place where they could not retreat,

There\'s nothing more fun than breaking it.

* * * * *

“Attack–!”

As magic covered the sky,

The song of swords and spears echoed across the battlefield where enemies and allies mixed chaotically.

However, without taking a step from their positions, Ferzen and Gremory were just staring at each other quietly.

Even though the situation was going against the Elmark Empire from the start because the elemental wizards who were deployed to the rear had to block the current that assaulted them from behind, Gremory was still relaxed enough to let them have the opening move.

That must be because of how confident she was rather than her being arrogant.

After all, no explanation was needed about what an Auror Knight who had reached the pinnacle could do despite having her body damaged to that point.

“……”

Even if he tried to follow her example and showed a relaxed attitude, it would only come out as shabby bravado at best.

After all, even though he was able to keep Lizzy\'s curse at bay by distracting his mind with other asymmetries, the connection between him and the corpses he controlled was still unstable, making the consumption of magical power exponential.

On top of that, the amount of goods that he currently possessed was only enough to make 1 deal with The Underworld.

Rumble-!!

However, from the beginning, Ferzen was prepared to exhaust the remaining two uses of his unique ability. So without hesitation, he opened the gate of The Underworld through his altar.

Step-!!

Gremory who saw the scene took a step forward...…

Flinch-!!

Seeing her, Ferzen almost took a step back without realizing it.

“Ha……”

Am I being pushed by her momentum from the start?

No, rather than being pushed by her momentum, it was more apt to say that he was probably afraid of the final battle itself.

There’s no clearer self-objectification than what he just did.

Everything he had done in the past had been a matter of sowing positive foreshadowing and then reaping the rewards himself.

But this time, the negative karma was sprinkled in such abundance to the point that he did not dare to turn to the next page.

The karma built on a Villain’s life would certainly try to collect its due.

If so,

In the book called Life which recorded his own life.

He needed to make sure that the probability was shattered and it became a failure filled with foreshadowing.

From the beginning, he felt the urge to fly.

So, how could he agree to stay on the /genesisforsaken
