The Dark Clan (2)
mansion was no different from before.
‘Have my eyes become strange?’
However, when Lian swung his sword, the wall split and a night scene was revealed.
And in the end, even the scenery split apart, and only a single flash of light filled the field of vision.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu with… Why?” The vampire’s eyes shook in shock. A half-spirited body that can pierce any object that can be destroyed. However, because Lian’s objects were indestructible, they were like natural enemies to vampires.
“Stand back.”
Lian aimed his sword forward.
“It’s not over yet.”
The blood between the vampire’s upper and lower body became sticky and joined again.
‘Powerful playback.’
It was one of the abilities of purebloods to quickly restore the body using blood.
Vampires were a race that could not regenerate if a stake was driven into the heart, but could come back to life if the stake was pulled out.
“You… are not human.”
Ryan is human.
“My sword kills you. “Be obediently captured.”
“gibberish.”
History has proven what happens to vampires captured by humans.
The vampire looked around for a moment and caught the knights remaining behind him.
“I’ll kill at least one more person.” The vampire’s legs began to split apart, then turned into numerous bats and flew towards the knights.
“Aaaah! what!”
As Rian jumped off the ground and burrowed into the crowd of bats, he saw the knights looking frightened.
“Get out quickly!”
He swung his greatsword and scattered the bats, but the knights could not even raise their heads.
“Save me…!”
When he grabbed the knight by the collar and threw him outside, his body floated up and rolled on the floor.
“You are the victim tonight!” The vampire, with his lower body hanging like smoke, rushed towards the neat-looking knight.
‘damn! ‘You can’t!’
As soon as Lian pushed the knight with all his strength, the vampire’s palm flew out.
“Chungpa!”
The vampire’s shock technique while in a state of spirit struck Lian in the chest.
“Tsk!”
Irene’s face turned pale as Lian, whose heart stopped, fell against the wall with a bang.
“mister!”
Clink!
Inyoung, with a slender body, broke through the window on the third floor and landed in the hall on the first floor.
“Stand back!”
It was a woman’s voice and had silver hair.
She quickly climbed the stairs with a clanking sound and swung her sharp rapier.
The blade passed through the nape of the neck.
“Whoa! This!”
He used the incarnation technique and went into a half-soul state, but surprisingly, the sword accurately inflicted a wound.
“??????Hunter!”
The moment I saw the shiny black sword the woman was holding, my doubts became confirmed.
In any case, because he killed Rian, the escape route was opened.
“damn! “We’ll see!” The woman quickly turned around as she saw the vampire running through the wall and running away.
“Where are you running away from?”
“mister! mister!”
The woman who was about to jump at Irene’s sobbing voice flinched and turned around.
Lian was leaning against the wall with his head bent.
“It’s already too late. “An Almas-level blast wave doesn’t just stop the heart, it explodes it.”
Since there was no reason to even perform emergency resuscitation, the woman threw herself away and disappeared out the broken window.
Irene did not give up and scolded Ryan.
“Don’t die! What should I do if you die? “I’m telling you to wake up quickly!”
“Wow, it’s noisy.”
Lian slowly opened his eyes.
“It’s mom!”
Irene begged to come back to life, but when she actually woke up, she was shocked as if she had seen a ghost.
“What is it? That woman’s heart…
“Yes, it stopped.”
The Yasha’s durability preserved its form, so recovery did not take long
.
‘Is it still playing?’
Smile’s auditory hallucination rang in my ears.
“don’t worry. “You can’t die like this.” I was told that my heart had stopped.
“…Then how much does it take to die?”
“I don’t know either.”
Thinking that he was probably no different from a vampire, Lian looked up at the third floor window.
“Who was it?”
Even in the turmoil of life and death, Irene remembered key information.
“She was a silver-haired woman, and the vampire called her Hunter.”
“aha.”
Not all Hunters are strong, but as far as Rian knows, they use all the techniques that vampires hate.
‘It makes sense that you ran away.’ A force specializing in vampire warfare would have been difficult to deal with, even if they were of the Almas class.
“I can’t. “We can only promise what happens next.”
It was an inevitable choice to save the knight, but it was better to stop his heart once than to increase the number of deaths.
“What happened? No way…
The lights in the mansion turned on belatedly and Irene’s mother came running with the soldiers.
” mom!”
Holding Irene in her arms, she looked back at Lian with a frightened expression.
Normally, she would have to work overtime, but due to the warning incident, she had returned home two hours earlier.
“What happened?”
“A vampire has targeted your daughter. I ran away. “For now, we won’t attack again tonight.”
“You missed it? Even with this many troops?”
Lian did not want to explain the position of the Almas class in vampire society.
“Mom, Uncle Lian, no, brother protected me.”
Since there were only a few instances where Irene called her older brother “oppa,” Mom also relaxed her expression.
“Oh, I’m sorry. “I became sensitive without even realizing it.”
“it’s okay. “You must be worried about your daughter.”
“yes. If you need anything, please let me know. “We will spare no effort in providing any support.”
Lian looked back down the hallway.
“Then, first disperse all troops.”
“yes?”
It was an absurd proposal, but if the opponent was Almas, such a ragtag group would only become hostages.
“It’s easier for me to protect myself. “I will explain in detail when the police chief comes tomorrow morning.”
“Mom, do as you say.”
Irene’s voice said there was something only the two of them could know.
“Okay, okay. then.”
Following her instructions, Irene rushed over while the deacons were removing the body and organizing the house.
“Then what should I do, brother?”
Ryan was adamant.
“You go quickly and sleep.”
The next morning, Captain Benov, who had already received the message the night before, visited the Bark Street gate.
“We had a fight?”
“yes. The culprit seems to be a vampire. That’s also the Almas rank.”
Benoff scratched his head when he heard that there were only a few dozen purebloods in the world.
“damn! “Someone big came in.”
“There was a death. sorry.”
“I heard about it. It’s not your fault. “If you hadn’t sacrificed, there would have been more deaths.”
“What about security?”
“The whole family will be taken to the royal castle. You can join our mobile squad. “You don’t plan on falling out, do you?”
Although he did not have the same fraternity as Sirone, Lee An was a prosecutor who swore to take responsibility for all deaths.
“Sure. “Are there any results?”
“Just confirming that you are a vampire can be considered an achievement. From now on, we will put strong pressure on you.”
“Where?”
“There were places where I had no access because there were no clear guidelines. Rodenine Blood Bank. “Soon, the royal castle will delegate access permission authority.”
If the culprit who drained a large amount of blood was a vampire, it was essential to investigate the blood bank.
“Wouldn’t it be too late?”
“The blood bank is a subordinate institution of the royal government. “Other departments cannot view the ledgers until a warrant is issued.”
“okay.”
“We will dispatch the Royal Guard ‘Xinjiang’. If that happens, even pure-blooded vampires will be left without a chance.”
That would be the case for one Almas rank.
‘Something is strange.’
Too much blood was being lost for one vampire.
‘Have you formed an organization centered around Almas?’
Especially in a royal agency, the possibility of an internal spy could not be ruled out.
“Can you give me some time?”
“why? The mobile unit hasn’t been formed yet…
“There’s something I want to investigate separately.”
So the Bark family entered the royal castle, and Lian walked around the city alone.
‘Here it is. ‘Rodenine Blood Bank.’ He looked at the seven-story building occupying the corner of the triangle and entered the alley.
As night fell, as expected, several groups wandered through the maze-like alleys.
‘There is no way to confirm.’
One of the reasons it was difficult to eradicate vampires was that they were indistinguishable from humans.
‘It has the disadvantage of being weak to sunlight…
but it is also fatal to hybrids that are not purebloods, and I heard that purebloods use strong regeneration to survive.
“Hey you guys.”
When Lian called, the group of five people stopped and turned their heads.
“What are you?”
A man of medium height who appeared to be the leader took out a knife.
“I want to ask you something. “Have you ever seen anyone coming in or out of this blood bank at this hour?”
The leader’s eyes were visibly shaken.
“Who are you? “Are you a security force?”
“I’m a prosecutor.”
“test?”
The leader approached brandishing a knife.
“How does my sword taste?”
Just stabbing him in the stomach with a knife without showing any intent to kill was proof that he had a lot of experience.
“what?”
Rian quickly twisted his upper body and punched his stomach, causing the leader’s feet to rise.
“Oooooh…
The group behind him rushed to see him kneeling and spitting out gastric juice.
“This bastard wants to do it now!” There was no need to draw the great sword.
“100 million! 100 million!”
When Benov tapped me with the jab I learned from my body, my neck snapped and I fell to the floor.
“Please save me! “We don’t know anything!”
‘I’m not a vampire.’
But it seemed like he really didn’t know anything.
“Blow honestly. As I said before, I am not a police officer. If you make a mistake…
As Rian drew out his sword, the leader’s face turned pale.
“I really don’t know! We just moved it! “You didn’t do anything wrong!”
“Move it? what?”
“Go bag! If you wait here in front of the blood bank, someone will come in and out at dawn and give you a bag and money. “If we hand over the bag, the money is ours.”
“Who gave you the bag?”
“It was dark so I couldn’t see much.” Lian aimed the great sword at his neck.
“I’m wearing glasses! He has a sharp look and is about a hand taller than me. “My face is pale and slim.”
‘He’s not the one who joined the Bark family.’
Lian asked.
“Where did you take your bag?”
“The destination is different every time. Sometimes it’s 13 blocks, sometimes it’s 47 blocks.”
They wouldn’t have told me the hideout.
“Is there anyone else who does this besides you guys?”
“It seems like everyone does it these days. Each force sets a date and takes turns transporting it. To be honest, I feel uncomfortable, but they pay too much money. “This is something we risk our lives for.”
Ryan checked the time.
“go back. And don’t even come here from now on.” When the leader made a blank expression as if he did not understand, Rian raised his tiger eyes and threatened.
“If you don’t want to, do you want to die here?”
“Oh no!”
As the leader, unable to even pick up the knife he dropped, ran deep into the alley, the crowd followed him.
‘He’s a broker who goes in and out of the blood bank. If that’s the case, the security forces will already be under surveillance.’
That’s why Ryan had to step forward.
After waiting for two hours at the spot where the bullies were sent away, there was a complete absence of people.
On a dark night when even the crystal lights were turned off, a man wearing a felt hat appeared in front of the blood bank.
‘It came.’
After he looked around and headed towards the back door, Lian went out into the street and started following him.
