Chapter 203 – 203. Good Brother
The blood demon facing me looked a little embarrassed.
“You… What does that look like?”
Now I have turned into a white-haired, red-eyed vampire. Thanks to this, the halo is invisible to the eye.
“This? Hehe. Don’t be surprised when you hear this. We attacked the blood world. Then he blindly killed the vampires and took their facial skin. How is it? This face. He’s pretty handsome, right?”
“What the…”
After hearing my words, the blood demon showed an emotion that I did not know whether it was anger or embarrassment.
“What? Have you developed any sympathy for your own people?”
“No. Are you truly a devil bastard?”
“Hey! The devil!! That’s harsh!!! Do you want to become Song Jang’s concubine!? If you don’t want to be an old man’s servant, apologize quickly!”
“I’m sorry. “Did I say something… Harsh?”
“This bastard.”
“I’m sorry!”
“If I’m sorry, will my life as a ghost end?”
“This, this… Damn human… What on earth are you going to do…”
A blood demon trembles and grinds its teeth at my question.
The blood demon, who had only a faint memory of before he died, hated me from the beginning. So, whenever I called him out, he always reacted very defiantly and hostilely. However, when he informed me that he had killed his own people, he showed hatred that went beyond disgust.
Even he was originally a man. However, perhaps because he forced himself to change into a female body, he has a more attractive face than when he was a man. The face of a woman who is disintegrating and shaking, but ultimately unable to do anything, is quite worth looking at.
“Hey. Don’t be too angry. Because they are all good deeds done for you.”
“Well, killing your own people was a good deed… A man who made a poor choice of words…”
“It was for you!!!”
“Why on earth is it because of me that they slaughtered my own people and took off their faces and covered them up!!!”
“This. I wanted to give you this. Now, take it.”
“What.?”
When I handed him the awakening stone containing the blood demons’ skills, interest arose in his eyes.
The blood demon’s eyes, which had been looking at me with a lot of disgust and hatred just a moment ago, instantly relaxed.
“Well, what do you think?”
“This. This is the ability of a higher entity.”
Hehe. You will finally become a true blood demon. Not a blood demon in name only. I am becoming the king of vampires.”
“The king of blood demons… The blood king. The location of the Archduke. Gulp.”
“Now, don’t worry and eat quickly. Because I prepared it for you.”
“… Don’t think that you shook my heart with something like this, human. I still hate you.”
“Shut up and eat it.”
“Yes.”
The bastard nodded his head and hastily absorbed the awakening stone. Soon, the smell of blood coming from him gradually became stronger.
“Kuuuuu. Boiling blood.!!! Blood, I want to suck blood.!!!!”
“How is it? Do you feel like you’ve gotten stronger?”
“Yes. “It looks like you have become very strong, master.”
He clasped his hands, nodded his head, and naturally called me master.
As expected, these guys are the type that are loyal when you give them strength. It seemed as if its tail was wagging. Isn’t this the language of a performance-obsessed person who makes a contract with the devil and sells his soul?
“Good night. Then, from now on, you will go to Gimhae and make all the survivors into your family.”
“I belong to the family.!!!”
Moreover, his eyes widened when he heard that he was a member of the family. It seemed like family affiliation had a very big meaning to this guy.
“Why do you like it so much?”
“That’s right. I can finally make a lineage.”
“Is that such a good thing?”
“Okay. Inheritance is a privilege of higher-ranking entities. “It’s difficult for a guy like me to even dream of it.”
“Huh.”
For vampires, creating a lineage seems to have been quite important.
‘Privilege of the parent entity only.’
First, this guy’s race is a vampire, so I guess that means that the Strigo and Vampire races themselves are inferior to the vampires.
‘It doesn’t matter.’
If you become a member of a blood demon, you become a slave. Actually, I had a lot of concerns about how to manage the manpower (slaves) to defend the facility, but I think that problem could be solved if I had blood demons.
“But where is Gimhae?”
“Oh, I don’t know.”
Of course, the blood demon did not know where Gimhae was.
‘I wonder if Mr. Dohyeong is at the base.’
Mr. Lee Do-hyeong, the exclusive driver of our base, is left at the base whenever possible. Because you may suddenly have to go far away.
“Mr. Do-hyung will give you a ride. Catch humans from the city you drive to and make them your servants. “I’ll give you three days.”
“I get it. “You mean you can make as many people as you want?”
“Okay. Ah, but what do the family members eat?”
This is important. For clothes and living space, you can just provide any building, but if the food is human blood, there are many restrictions.
“Subspecies that are not vampires do not need to be fed human blood. In fact, it doesn’t matter that we don’t have to suck human blood. It’s just that the scent of blood is deeper and stronger than that of animals.”
“Hoo. Indeed. “They just captured it as a favorite food and turned it into a slave?”
“Right. It’s accurate.”
“Another reason to kill vampires was just added.”
“Don’t they kill people even if there is no reason?”
“Shut up.”
These vampires were worse than I thought. These guys who can drink animal blood just sucked human blood because it stinks.
In any case, it was said that blood from stray cats and wild dogs did not matter to fatigue.
‘Now that I think about it. When the winter night comes, even the animals will be searching.’
Most animals, excluding dogs and cats, as well as humans who know how to use the tools of civilization, will die.
‘If you don’t mind feeding me animal blood, let’s go around and catch some animals.’
How about catching a dog or a cat and raising it in Demon Cave No. 4 of the base labyrinth? I think I could also try raising pigs, cows, and chickens. I’m taking them in because I can move them by continuing to use my illegal distribution skills.
Since it’s not an important issue right now, you can collect pets later.
“Okay for now.”
Anyway, it’s good that it seems like it will be easy to get blood. Since the beasts in the labyrinth respawn every week, there seemed to be enough food to feed them.
“Then…”
I entered the base labyrinth, summoned Mr. Dohyeong, and asked him to conquer Gimhae with the Blood Demon.
“With this pitch-black guy.?”
“Yes.”
“Huh.”
“Please do me a favor.”
“But why does your face look like…”
“Because of skill.”
“Huh.”
Mr. Dohyeong nodded. I was reluctant, perhaps because I knew full well that my role was driving, but I knew full well that my only livelihood was driving, so I obediently started the bongo.
‘Okay, this will fill the shortage right now.’
Most dark spirits do not understand more than simple commands, so it was often difficult to use them, but now that I have a worker, I can handle many things at once.
“Then go and go. Oh, what about food?”
“I took as much as I could. I packed a lot of flashlights and batteries. I also brought a gun. Also. I took everything.”
After packing three days’ worth of food and drinking water into the bongo, Dohyeong and Hyeolma set out for Gimhae, the next town.
Mulgeum belongs to Yangsan, which borders Gimhae and Busan. As a result, we were able to go to Gimhae and Busan relatively quickly. In Busan, there were many survivors, so it was a difficult battle, so we sent them to Gimhae.
At least it would be easier to eat there. Of course, the survivors who settled in Busan in the past few days may have advanced to Gimhae, but…
‘At this point, there will be very few survivors who do not know the existence of the winter night.’
The existence of winter nights has been widely spread through survivors’ journals and various items, and the sun has not risen since today.
Because of this, I think most survivors would have already realized that something was amiss. The competition for survival will probably become more intense.
Furthermore, cities with large populations and many survivors will slowly see fanatics creeping out.
‘Pagans devoured by evil spirits…’
Also, it seems that there are some who are called apostles of evil spirits. There were people walking around hunting those guys.
‘What on earth was that guy I encountered in the Nether Tunnel?’
The guy who asked me if I was an apostle of evil spirits. He seemed to know a lot. I guess he’s not a regressor or something?
‘Well, it’s already gone so don’t worry about it.’
I fought, and it didn’t seem like I was going to lose. It’s true that it looks dangerous, but if we encounter it again, we’ll definitely be able to kill it. I didn’t know what skill it had, but I guess we’ll find out after killing it.
“Then what I have to do now is.”
[I need to get a weapons dealer into the dimension store and check the infinite labyrinth that I haven’t checked yet.]
“Okay. That’s right.”
Agaf recited the schedule as if he were my direct manager.
“Oh, I guess I should treat Liza too.”
[I see.]
I first took out the Liza I had put in my inventory and unpacked it.
“Hmm. It’s cold.”
“This world is a bit like that. “Go in here first.”
“What was this treatment for? “I can’t see it, but… It’s slippery.”
“Uh. Go in and wait a little while and the treatment will be completed. “I’ll call my younger brother, so you can learn how to live from him.”
“Lifestyle?”
“Yes, because the world you lived in is different from here. “There will be an adjustment period.”
“Indeed. “If you want to join the group, the first thing you need to do is understand the atmosphere.”
Liza understood what I meant right away. Probably because he was a mercenary, he was quick to grasp the situation.
“Okay then.”
I put Liza in a treatment capsule and fed her a high-grade magicite. Liza’s screams could be heard from inside the capsule, but it doesn’t seem to be a major problem. I even hinted in advance that it would be like this.
“Hey! Seongho!”
I entered the base labyrinth and chanted.
Seongho is still conquering the base labyrinth, not the simple labyrinth. Since the level of difficulty here is relatively low, it is best to start with the base labyrinth and then go through the simple labyrinth. It can be seen as a kind of growth curriculum.
“Uh? Brother? Why is my face like that again…”
“Because of skill.”
“Aha.”
“More than that, you have a girlfriend.”
“…?”
Seongho looked at me as if asking what I was talking about. This kid is single from birth.
“I can’t believe I have a girlfriend.”
“Follow me first.”
“Uh, bro.”
After receiving help from me in various ways, Seongho started listening to everything I said. It was truly a result of his dignity as an older brother.
I guess I can just say that they are now just trusting and following me. It seemed as if the jealousy and rebelliousness of childhood had completely disappeared.
“Now, if you stay here in the capsule for a while, a woman slightly taller than you will come out.”
“Woman?”
“Okay. “She’s a woman from another world.”
“Get him? “Brother… Do you kidnap me too?”
“I brought you here with a contract! “What am I kidnapping?”
“Aha.”
“Anyway, it’s like a two-dimensional mercenary. “I brought you here on the condition that I provide you with food, clothing, shelter, and a man.”
“Oh. Food, clothing, shelter, and a man… Bro.”
“Uh. “Why?”
“That man…”
“Congratulations.”
“Is it pretty?”
“In my opinion… It was at Leona level.”
“…”
Seongho and I held out our hands.
We shook hands.
