Episode 132. Hounds of the Decassus family (1)
“You must be Kang Jin-hyeok.”
“It looks pretty even. Besides, hehe. what’s this? that guy Why is the smell of blood so sweet?”
There was a contrast between the cold voice and the excited voice.
What appeared among the ice trolls was a pair of men and women with dazzling white hair and red eyes.
Needless to say, it was obvious who they were.
blood of vampires.
To be precise, it must have been the blood relatives of the Decassus family that Melena had mentioned at the shareholders’ meeting not too long ago.
Burr…!
Braham’s ring trembled violently.
[Don’t stop! Those children…! The worms of Decassus! I’ll go out right now and kill them all!] It’s
a mess because it’s sealed. If it wasn’t for that, Alice would have jumped out right away.
However, if Alice is sent out from here, the variable becomes too large.
If you loosen the seal enough to fight with your blood relatives, your magical power consumption will increase uncontrollably.
‘Until I know how much those guys have prepared, it’s better for me to deal with Elise myself than to send them out.’
It doesn’t matter if you fight head-on.
However, if the battle is prolonged or if they run away from there, it will be a headache.
You need to conserve your horsepower as much as possible.
Jinhyeok slowly scanned the two of them up and down.
The ‘Eye of Gluttony’ had relatively low magical power consumption, but even that could not be used recklessly.
In particular, the greater or stronger the level gap with the opponent, the higher the required magic power.
However, since you have to understand the opponent’s information, you can’t use it at all.
‘Which of the two should I look for…’
The relatively strong one and the less strong one.
Which side is likely to be copied and which side is not.
The worry didn’t last long.
Jinhyeok chose the male side.
‘Eye of gluttony’ saw through the status window.

[Conditions of copying: When it comes to vampires, you have to suck blood to taste! If you put a straw around the opponent’s neck and consume 100mg or more of their blood, you will be able to copy the opponent’s unique ability.] [
If you survive after saying 4 or more death flag lines, copy one of the opponent’s skills You will be able to do it. However, dialogues are recognized only when they are suitable for the situation, and each time you say each dialogue, your unique ability or skill is sealed one by one. (Time limit: 96h:00m:00s)]
“Damn it.”
Jinhyeok, who was reading the status window, wrinkled his face.
It was good to get rough information, but the copying conditions were again damn good.
What happened to this, and more and more unimaginable content pops up?
‘I’m not even a vampire. 100mg of blood sucked?’
Sometimes the elderly eat something like deer blood to keep themselves in shape, but that’s the story of people with strong stomachs.
‘I am an envoy. Above all, I don’t covet the ability to cancel blood, which uses blood as a medium.’
Above all, it is better to die by biting off my tongue than biting off the scruff of the husband’s neck.
But…
another copying condition attracted my appetite.
Among the skills Bertion possessed, there was one thing worth using.
A skill that is very helpful in melee or long-term battles.
Jinhyuk’s eyes narrowed.
‘Four death flag lines…’
Certainly, it wouldn’t be easy to spit out lines like that and survive in the middle of a predicament.
Moreover, the condition that a unique ability or skill was randomly sealed every time a line was spoken was very annoying.
However, even at the risk of all that, I wanted to acquire ‘that skill’ without fail.
It was at the time when Jinhyeok was thinking about it.
“Why don’t you answer? Could it be that you were so scared that you froze?”
Bertion opened his mouth again.
Jinhyeok, who lost his eyes for a moment while checking the copying conditions, thought that he had hardened from fear.
“ah. Sorry, I was checking something for a while. So what did you want to say?”
“I asked if you were Kang Jin-hyuk.”
hmm.
Would it work if I called Cheon Yoo-seong here? To be honest, selling him is the most convenient thing.
After thinking for a while, Jinhyeok shook his head.
That guy should sell it in moderation. It might come back one day in the dark.
“that’s right.”
Jinhyuk shrugged.
Then, the corners of Berteon’s mouth went up.
“My name is Riorda Bertion. A blood relative belonging to the Decassus family. I know you humans often call us vampires, so this might be more familiar.”
“Call me Ophelia. I belong to the same group as this blunt guy.”
The two introduced themselves briefly.
Berteon and Ophelia.
Both of them are much stronger than the blood relatives of the Ataraxia family I met in the corridor.
Everything from the level and stats that each individual possesses to the magic that flows naturally from the body. Comparison itself was impossible.
In the first place, it must be because Alice and her blood relatives who followed her have weakened from being exiled for a long time, and the difference in power between the two families is also a factor.
“Vampires of the Decassus family…”
“You don’t seem very surprised.”
“This isn’t the first time I’ve met a vampire.”
in the ring. I’m raising a very nasty vampire.
If ordinary vampires are mosquitoes, should Alice be an Adidas mosquito with three stripes?
He has a needle that can pierce even jeans, so he is the TOP of the vampire world.
“also…! It was true that you were hiding the traitor exiled in the corridor!”
“Don’t show off by pretending that what you’ve tried is right. Being prepared to this extent would mean that it was a level of confidence, not doubt. Are you dying with this tone of voice?”
“…what what? Yeah… You bastard! Who dares to tell anyone right now…!”
Berteon stuttered badly.
Is it because I was stabbed in the middle? Or is it because I’ve never been so openly punched by a mere human?
The only thing that is certain is that her white face, like white jade, has turned red.
“Whoops. He’s a bold human being. It will definitely taste like eating it.”
Ophelia intervened this time.
His red eyes twinkled with more interest than before.
That expression…
Where did you see it?
It’s like when I first met Alice, the memory of threatening me saying that blood is delicious comes to mind.
Damn, I don’t know how all these vampires treat people like lunchboxes.
“how is it? If you come with me, I will save your life.”
Ophelia gently reached out.
His thin, long fingers were in full bloom.
It’s obvious, but if you catch that, it’s an express train to hell.
“Shall live with a dedicated blood pack. What does this mean?”
“But wouldn’t that be better than dying?”
“I will politely decline. Personally, I prefer taking things away rather than giving them.”
“You’ll regret it…”
“Well. I received a similar offer the other day, but the one who regrets it is not me, but the other person.”
Maybe the guy who made that proposal lived in a 1000-pyeong imperial palace and now lives in a rented room with a 0.01 pyeong room?
“Sorry… Then I can’t. I wanted to eat it for a long time, but I had no choice but to finish it with a disposable meal.”
Ophelia took a step back.
The atmosphere started to calm down little by little.
There was a calm like the night before a storm.
Now, if anyone moves, there will be a massive slaughter.
gulp!
“Ugh…”
“Damn it.”
The faces of the players who had been waiting with bated breath turned black.
I was so terrified that I couldn’t understand what was going on.
The moment the conversation between the two ends. Everyone here instinctively felt it.
that their lives would end in a moment.
‘I can’t live.’
‘It’s over.’
‘Damn it rain. What kind of monsters are in a place like this…’
The bloody life of blood relatives with a whopping 3-digit level was not something B-class players who had just entered the 7th floor could endure.
Die.
sure to die
Even if Jinhyeok right in front of him is S-class. He had no trouble dealing with those monsters.
The pressure on his whole body was heavier than any being he had ever met.
＊＊＊
Jinhyeok watched as the ice trolls slowly closed the encirclement.
Then he slowly opened his mouth.
“Before we begin, may I ask you one question?”
“Even if you die soon, you seem to have a personality that can’t hold back questions. good night. Ask me one last time.”
“Were you guys plotting to hunt the players of the Dangun guild sequentially in the forest? And the pattern carved into the rock?”
“I heard you know a lot about the Tower. So I dug a trap.”
The more brilliant a person is, the more blindly they believe in the information they know.
Moreover, if you think that others do not know that information, the effect is multiplied several times.
“I thought you would come into this forest to get the ‘Phoenix Feather’. One of the surest ways to clear this floor is to get that feather.”
Bertion calmly continued.
“However, right after coming to this land, you must have felt a strange sense of incongruity. Since the high-level players were wiped out without leaving a trace, they must have thought that something unexpected would happen. And he would have hurriedly headed to the forest to prove that hypothesis.”
“Finding the patterns of the trolls will add weight to the hypothesis and make me more alert. I guess it means something like this.”
Jinhyeok was told behind the scenes.
“That’s the story. You will call other players here to prove the hypothesis that an outbreak will happen soon. Of course, the time to stay in the forest will also be longer. In the end, it gave us time to completely encircle it.”
“ah! And you’d better give up hope that other humans will join you. The demons decided to take care of that.”
Are there any gaps?
“It’s quite right. I did use my head a bit.”
I have to admit that the trap is neat.
In addition, we formed a three-member coalition team that included not only Mines but also Ice Trolls, so the members were unparalleledly strong.
No matter how strong a ranker was, if they were in a situation like this, they would have no choice but to panic or despair.
But do you know what?
In fact…
“I knew at least that you guys would come in contact.”
I have already heard all the inside information through Melena.
The hounds of the Decassians descended downstairs of the tower, met Lancelot, and how the back-door dealings were all about it.
I couldn’t tell exactly when or where.
I expected that time to come soon.
“Above all, traps are meaningful only when the premise that you can kill the opponent is in place.”
“Hoo. What do you mean?”
“From the thought that they could defeat me with a group of puppies… I mean it was a mistake.”
end with that.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
The magical power that had been suppressed to the limit was released.
