When I pressed on, Gamma, startled, ran as if her tail was on fire.
The explosives brought by the Resistance are unreasonable. It is useful enough to dig a hole in the center and bury it. Even with the best of our engineering knowledge, we’re still far short of destroying this Tantalus, but with a bit of luck, something might happen.
Kanissen asked.
“…Hughes. Didn’t Tantalus say he couldn’t collapse? Even if it does happen, if we destroy it, we will be in danger.”
“I can not help it. The hand you have should be placed in the most dangerous position. If you make it unusable because you are afraid of risk, it would be a total turn of events.”
“Definitely, but…”
“Amazing. Being able to act like that even if you know…’
All of these people are good, but their flexibility of thinking is a bit lacking. You, the nominal captain, have to make this judgment. ha. Why are there only people who have screwed up by my side?
Then someone who was waiting for an opportunity to speak in silence suddenly shouted.
“I have no choice but to let the ancestors open their eyes!”
…Whoops. It’s starting again.
“Shut up Finlay!”
Alpha pulled the stakes from Finlay’s limbs. As the blood drips from the open wound, Finlay is frightened and returns it to his body. Drops of blood that could not be returned roll by themselves and go somewhere.
Finlay exclaimed urgently.
“Pull carefully! Now all my blood is ruled by the ancestors! If the hole opens and blood flows, the ancestors will take away my very existence!”
I know. That’s why I put stakes through my limbs.
Finlay stretched the chains as far as they could before speaking.
“It is impossible with your own strength. Didn’t you see! The opponent is the king of cats! The dog king is barely getting away with it, but the dog king can’t attack humans! It won’t be long before you fall! Without the king of dogs, you are a lower creature that is no better than trash. If the ancestor doesn’t wake up, he’ll die like garbage!”
hmm. Shall we spin it round and round as it is with the stake driven in?
Just when I was seriously thinking about it, Kanisen muttered in a low voice.
“Vampire power? It’s not hot. Were you not able to defeat even us and were suppressed?”
“That’s because the ancestor who went to rest is absorbing all the blood in this space! If only I could draw the blood magic circle properly, it would have been a meal for you guys!”
‘is it? I’ve never fought a vampire before.’
Kanisen looked at me as if to confirm, and I shook my head.
“Not to that extent. If you know how to deal with yailing, you can clean it up as easily as burning food waste.”
“Yeah Ino Oh Oh! Heh heh heh heh! I get it! Don’t spin the stakes! Certainly, Yailing is as weak as a bug compared to Tirkanjaka, the great ancestor, the great elder, and the noble Ain!”
“You know that. If you don’t say it right, I’ll turn it counterclockwise next time.”
“Yeah… Got it! I know!”
To be honest, Yailing is weak enough that even me without a card can hunt alone. No matter how much it is, it can’t be done with bare hands, but if you roast it over a fire or immerse it in electrolyte to dissipate the control over blood, the yaling is worse than a bug. Immortality as a vampire is an advantage, but there is no other weakness as great as having a clear weakness.
Above all, I also have the right arm of the Undead. Even if Finlay ran amok, I could kill him right away. To be honest, when I think about going to Finlay, I have no regrets about killing him.
“But the founder, Tirkanjaka. The oldest darkness and the queen of the night. The source of all vampires! With His power! You will be able to subdue not only that cheeky man, but even the king of beasts!”
But one reason not to kill.
Because Finlay’s proposal to awaken the founder was quite attractive.
Delta muttered anxiously.
“…Will the progenitor really help us?”
“joy! I hope to live even after scorning the nobility of the night! Aww! Ha don’t! I’ll tell you specifically. Please save your lives!”
Against the backdrop of Finlay’s screams of being turned counterclockwise (left), Kanisen clenched his fists. He was once a knight’s squire, and although not devout, he was a celestial believer in his own way, and he had an instinctive reluctance towards vampires.
However, I knew that faith was not stupid enough to betray even my life, and that was the only way to survive.
“It is nonsense! How can you think of waking up the Sijo? Would a disgusting vampire who covets other people’s blood help us? They will try to suck all our blood!”
…unlike some idiot who always clutches a cross every time he passes by. why are you doing that
“Even if we die in the first place, we must not wake the founder! Even for the sake of the world’s peace and well-being, the ancestors must stay forever under this abyss…!”
“Cindy calm down.”
Beta is silenced by Delta, but Cho is already hurt. Look at the sparks in Finlay’s eyes. I don’t know if it’s anyone else, but Beta you’re definitely dead.
“now. I have no choice but to think about it now. I’ll make it simple.”
…I can’t help it. Because you can’t even protect the life of someone whose faith is more important than your own life.
I clapped my hands loudly and sorted things out.
“Kanissen go with Alpha and help Aji. If Aji and Nabi fight one-on-one, Aji wins. The two of you can take care of the Ebon and the Takari.”
“…I hate to say this, but my skills are not up to Ebon’s. Alpha is no match for the Colonel.”
When Kanisen expressed disapproval, Alpha spoke in a fit of rage.
“Leader! what do you mean! Don’t we have combat-type packet armaments!”
“Including that. Knight Chaser Ebon He was a strong man who relentlessly pursued and killed three regular knights even when he was a soldier. I’ve been training for a while… but I can’t reach him.”
Still, Kanisen, who knows his subjects, is the most reliable. I encouraged and advised Kanissen.
“It just takes time. If anything, take the explosives hostage and try to hold out as long as you can. Because of Aji, the overall power is on top. If you read the war situation carefully, you should be able to pass the time.”
I said, but I thought the exact opposite.
Turning off time is essential to quickly adapt to changing circumstances. Unfortunately, Kanissen lacks that ability. It won’t take much time
…Still, I can’t help it.
Those who have only mastered the Gun Qigong and the Gon Qigong can be defeated with a poison attack or tactics. If there is only that colonel, it is possible for me to kill somehow.
But cold ball. If you reach the stage of strengthening your body with qigong… Dokdo surprise attacks and tactics are meaningless. The bones and flesh themselves are becoming hard, so what will you squeeze and pierce through? strangle? Even if you cook a little cold ball, you can open your own throat.
Kanisen didn’t even make it to the cold ball. Bantan Qigong was learned, but it was a means for those who could not catch cold Gong to protect themselves. In terms of purely physical ability, Ebon has the upper hand.
Rather, because of that, Ebon had no choice but to be taken over by Kanisen.
Because there is only one place to use Kanisen.
“i get it. Leave it to me.”
Kanisen nodded firmly, prepared for death. I also nodded my head.
At one time, he drove them to their deaths with an absurd sympathy. He deceived not only the members of the Resistance, but also himself, trying to gain an honor that would remain after his death. And that, too, in a senseless way of terrorizing Tantalus, whose prisoner has disappeared.
I thought for a moment about just killing him, but fortunately he realized it himself. Thanks to this, he found the small but real honor of fighting to the death for his few remaining men.
…Well, it’s over when you die.
I turned my head away from Kanisen, who was packing up his military uniform, and said.
“The rest goes to the founder as it is. Go and wake Shijo. So far, Sijo has not answered any calls from Finlay, but we have a method we haven’t tried yet.”
Delta, who was about to nod, hesitated.
“Wait a minute. Is Cindy or Beta going too?”
“If you want to leave me alone here, so be it.”
“Oh no… yes. Anyway, if the founder doesn’t help, you’ll be dead, so you should be as careful as possible.”
Delta calmly read Beta, who was reluctant to answer. Without a doubt, they followed my instructions and set off to their respective destinations. I can’t even figure out my intentions.
but only one.
‘Hughes is the most irritating human being here… but the most brilliant human being here. I can’t deny it.’
Finlayman, impaled on a stake… saw through my intentions. A bloody smile forms on his pale face.
‘okay. I’m going to use that bitch as a sacrifice. Judgment on the unworthy bitch who dares to call the heavenly gods in front of the founder!’
The battle took place indoors, familiar to Kanisen. Still, Carnissen knew how to take advantage of the terrain and was able to make relatively tactical moves. While a complex battle was taking place indoors, Finlay, Beta, and Delta, I headed to the underground armory where the progenitor resided.
In front of the dreary huge iron gate of the underground armory. Originally, it was supposed to be packed full of weapons made by the military, but Tantalus is different. Inside lies a being more fearsome and mighty than the most feared weapon.
Founder Tirkanjaka.
The progenitor of all vampires. Queen of Shadows.
An eccentric and a monster who half-voluntarily entered the bottomless pit because it was quiet and didn’t get much sunlight.
The solitude, darkness, and hunger that kill humans. All the reasons humans fear the bottomless pit do not apply to her. Because she too is feared comparable to the bottomless pit.
After all, fear seems to resemble each other.
Beta, facing the primordial darkness, spoke with a trembling voice.
“This place is a cursed vampire… Whoops.”
Delta quickly covered Beta’s mouth. Still, he seems to know what his girlfriend is doing. Delta held Beta’s hand and pleaded earnestly.
“Cindy. please please Be careful with your words. You can’t say a word in front of Sijo.”
“Okay, okay. If it’s Elsie’s request.”
‘…okay. I have not betrayed my faith. I’m just following the request of Elsie, whom I love forever.’
I clicked my tongue as I read Beta’s thoughts.
There are people who need a reason to start doing something they can do. It’s not just a beta story. Before compromise and living, the Resistance was also similar to Beta.
I was only acting because I was dissatisfied with the reality, but I packaged it as if it were for a greater cause. Then, it gradually became buried and reached the point where it could not do anything without an order. As a result, he fell into the abyss along Kanisen without his will.
How did this happen? Well, there are many reasons, but if I had to stick to it, it would be because the invisible has become a god.
That’s why I became the one digging into God.
I was going to hold on until Ji-seon arrived, but I sighed that I had to trust the resistance. So I sighed and said.
“If you write in blood, they might react. It would be nice to have blood similar to that of the founder. He would prefer female blood to male blood…”
“You’re going to give me my own blood?! To a vampire?!”
“…I’ll use my blood for now, but if that doesn’t work, I’ll borrow Beta’s blood.”
Is it because you don’t want to hurt yourself? Or is it because offering blood to a vampire is a religious taboo? There is no need to differentiate. The two reasons ultimately lead to one result.
With the conclusion that he will not give his own blood.
I bit my finger. Blood dripped from the slightly torn skin. Of course, the blood that should have spread on the ground rolls like beads and seeps through the cracks in the door. As if I wasn’t yours anymore than I was outside of my body.
Finlay spoke to me as I was looking at the unrealistic scene.
“Writing letters using blood as ink? What a great idea. However, the ancestors take away all the blood outside your body. How are you going to write with runaway ink?”
“Originally, ink is made by scorching something with fire.”
After replying briefly, I used the ritual magic with my bloody finger.
“Seth Lee. Fahrenheit.”
Fire. A weak flame rises as if reflecting my magical power. The flame, which has a high temperature but a low calorific value, burns the blood little by little.
“If you burn it with fire while getting blood, it will burn. In this way, letters can preserve their shape.”
“Huh… I see.”
“I will try hard until I get anemia. Wow, a blood letter written by tearing off one’s own fingers and scorching them with fire. Even the emperor of the empire could not have received a letter with such great care. It is grandiose.”
“Our ancestors are greater than the emperors of men, so there is nothing grandiose.”
