Chapter 1090 – Ancient Vampire
“Teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!”
I screamed like a little kid, expending mana like an exploding bomb to unleash Sword Flame.
—Whoosh!!
Instinct and reason screamed danger in unison…!
Blood Demon Death Beam!!!
It wasn’t quite the Heavenly Demon Death Beam, which could destroy planets with its ultimate power, but this was still a damn strong secret technique!!!
—Getting hit by that would be devastating!
I never thought I’d see that technique here! Even I, the Heavenly Demon, haven’t fully grasped the mysteries of the Heavenly Demon Death Beam, yet this crazy bastard is using it first! What I felt was a crimson terror and infinite deprivation.
It’s absurd that some crazy Blood Demon old man is mimicking my ultimate technique…!
Unforgivable!
Of course.
My thoughts were brief.
I judged that to defend against the incoming Blood Demon Death Beam, I had to attack in return. The crimson beam cannon, filled with destructive power, was already right in front of me. Evasion was impossible due to its speed exceeding mine. All I had was this accelerated thought process.
—Whooshing roar!!!
But.
I know.
“—There is nothing I cannot cut.”
What I cannot cut.
Doesn’t exist in this world.
I already know that.
Then the Blood Demon Death Beam is no different.
“Real Sword Flame!!!!”
—Flash!
And so, timing it perfectly, I swung Vugal vertically to cleave the Blood Demon Death Beam. A supreme technique combining Heavenly Demon Divine Art and Real Sword Technique. Calculating the strongest sword path within my accelerated thoughts and slamming it down!
—Thud.
The Blood Demon Death Beam, filled with immense energy.
I.
—Thwaaaaaaaang!!!!!
Failed to cut it at all, getting grazed and sent flying the fuck away.
“Nooooooooooooo!!!!”
No, damn it, this is so painful!!!
I tried to cut it but failed, and it grazed my chest, feeling like someone was burning my fucking nipples with a lighter all day long!!!!
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!”
Sensing I couldn’t endure any longer, I grabbed Vugal, tore at my hair, and tumbled down below. The screams wouldn’t stop coming out of my mouth from the sheer pain. No lie, I’ve almost never felt this much pain in my life, it was a goddamn agony.
—Whooshing roar!!!
As I fell, I took in the red sky.
—Fizz.
The Blood Demon Death Beam flew towards infinity and soon vanished.
—Truly powerful.
Crimson.
The ultimate Blood Cannon.
I lost to something like that?
I can’t accept it…
No, not that!!!!
“My nippleeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!”
Even if alligator snapping turtles swarmed and devoured my nipples, it wouldn’t hurt this much! Prometheus!!! Prometheus, the protector of humanity, was eternally tortured by Zeus, that bastard, having his nipples eaten by a gang of crazy eagle brothers!!!
How did you endure it!!!
“Katt!!!”
Just as I was about to collide with the ground.
I heard Claudia’s voice.
“Claudia…!”
The sensation of falling disappeared.
“Are you okay?!”
Claudia, who had shot her body from over there to here, was holding me. At the same time, a magic circle appeared beneath her feet, allowing us to land safely.
“Ah.”
Held in Claudia’s arms.
Like a Pietà.
Like Michelangelo’s Pietà, I gazed at her face.
“I’m fine. Claudia.”
“Just now?! Just now!!!”
A very flustered face.
And a worried face.
“Yeah. I’m okay. Look. Only my clothes got destroyed.”
“…!”
I say I’m okay.
At the moment of impact, I used the force of the sword being deflected to twist my body and escape. So the Blood Demon Death Beam grazed my chest, but I’m a man who knows how to defend his body with mana.
It fucking hurts, but I survived without any damage like this.
“Katt…!”
“It’s okay. It’s okay. When have you ever seen me get hurt? First!”
—Spring!
I told Claudia I was okay and immediately jumped out of her arms, picking her up in return. I feel the pain, but this Heavenly Demon is a man who chews up even pain. I can’t show this pain in front of Claudia!
“First!!!”
—Flash!
I kicked off the ground, destroying the foothold, and shot my body towards where they were.
Looking down as I went.
—Groooooan!
—Cough! Cough!
—Khaaaaaaaa!!
An infinite number of blood warriors were swarming like ants.
These fucking bastards!!!
“Katt-nim!”
“Ggaaaamdungie!!”
Soon I landed where they were.
Wenia and Hilde immediately called out to me.
“Yeah! I’m okay! Claudia saved me! More importantly!!!”
I’m more worried about them!
“Your big sister is still fine!”
“I’m okay too!”
Currently surrounded by the army of blood, Karin and Liztina were still in perfect condition. Letting out fierce battle cries, they were slicing them all down.
Specifically, dozens at a time with each attack.
That’s why I can rest assured.
“The gap!”
“Ugh… I can’t do it right now!”
I also swung my sword, helping with the work. It seemed Risha was also focused on defense right now. Coltarahen’s goal was exactly this. To prevent a gap from being created in the barrier.
He’s gone crazy, but his judgment is sound.
“But I can do it if I join in! Risha! Can you do it!”
“I’ll try…!”
Just as Risha was about to summon the black hand.
—Shine!
From beyond the red sky, a crimson flash occurred, like a star twinkling.
—I could feel it instinctively.
“That!!! That’s coming!!! The one that just sent me flying!!”
The second Blood Demon Death Beam!!!
“Father! How can you!”
“Kyaaaaaaaack!!! Katt-nim!!!”
It’s targeting here!
“Let’s just jump to the side! Everyone stick to me! Hilde, pull the remaining people!”
“Yes!”
“Stop attacking! Everyone stick to me!”
With that signal, they stopped attacking and clung to me and Hilde.
“C, can you do it!”
“Trust me!!!”
As soon as we were ready.
—Kwaang!
To evade, I kicked off the ground and shot my body diagonally.
And.
“Heavenly Demon Supreme Footwork.”
Stepping on the heads of the blood warriors gathered at the landing point, crushing them all and performing Heavenly Demon Supreme Footwork.
—Thwaaaaaaaang!!!
As their blood exploded and vanished, a large circular empty zone was created.
At the same time.
—Thwakkakakakakakakakang!!!
The Blood Demon Death Beam struck where we had just been. It created a crater of immense depth and then disappeared.
“Such insane power! Father, are you really okay!”
This is the first time I’ve seen Ari so flustered.
“Look! No problem!”
Just as I was about to put them down.
—Flash!
A third flash twinkled.
“Oh, shit! It’s coming again!”
Karin shouted.
“You fucking bastard!!!”
I jumped again with them, stepping on the heads of the blood warriors with Heavenly Demon Supreme Footwork, crushing them all, creating an empty zone, and performing evasive maneuvers. Each time, the Blood Demon Death Beam struck where we had just been.
—Shine!
—Shine!
—Shine!
That happened a total of five times in a row.
I’m dodging them all, but that bastard’s Blood Demon Death Beam cooldown is so short!!
“This can’t go on forever! We have to go over there, damn it!”
“Yeah!!!”
Taking advantage of a brief pause in the Blood Demon Death Beam, I put them down and started preparing to charge at Coltarahen again.
“Katt!”
“It’s okay, Claudia! And before I go!”
I called Ari.
“Ari, garlic!!!”
“Why that…!”
“Just shoot a lot at me!”
“Ugh!”
—Tu-ta-ta-ta!
Ari immediately aimed the Flower Scepter at me and shot a shitload of peeled garlic. The peeled garlic started piling up under my feet.
“Hilde! You can use that telekinetic magic, right!”
“Yes…? Yes! I can use it!”
“Put it on me!”
Next, I asked Hilde.
“I just need those garlics to spin around my body and sword! Do that for me!”
“Yes, yes! Garlic enchantment!”
“That’s it!”
It’s already been proven that garlic is effective against him.
Then I’ll use it.
“Hap!”
As Hilde cast her magic, the peeled garlic floated up, swirling around my body like helpful fairies. Not only that. The garlics were also swirling around my sword.
“Heavenly Demon Divine Art Onion Blade, you bastard!!!”
This should be enough!
“Then I’m going!”
After a brief farewell, I kicked off the ground again. At the same time, a flash twinkled in the sky. I could tell just from that light.
That it was targeting me.
“Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!”
—Tu-ta-ta-ta-tat!!!
I sprinted through the air, drawing a semicircle towards Coltarahen, stepping on the footholds.
—Pwhooooooosh!!!
And the Blood Demon Death Beam was fired.
“I’ve seen that attack a million times, you son of a bitch!!!”
I dodged it.
Running in a semicircle, stepping on the footholds, and shooting my body, I was able to evade the Blood Demon Death Beam. The Blood Demon Death Beam came a step late with each trajectory I drifted.
—Once.
—Twice.
—Three times.
Even getting hit once wouldn’t end with just a fatal wound this time. So I dodged all of them. Evading all the continuously fired Blood Demon Death Beams and charging endlessly.
“How can you possibly…!”
And so, when I reached Coltarahen, who was high in the sky.
“You’ve found this place! My barrier should have been perfect! Could it be!!! Have the gods started tracking this Coltarahen again!!!”
Flying towards the terrified bastard with my final burst of momentum.
“Shut the fuck up, you bastardddddddd!!!”
“Uwaaaaaaaack!!”
I swung my sword…!
—Pwhooooooosh!!!
Coltarahen was easily split in two, spewing blood. At the same time, the garlics swirling around me collided with that blood and Coltarahen’s body, which was just about to regenerate, and were crushed.
—Crush!
—Crush!
I don’t know if it’s effective, but it feels good!!!
“I’m sealed!!!”
“What the fuck are you saying?”
“My mind is still bound to that place! This is strange! This is absurd! If my mind! My true body! Is in that place, then what am I here!!!”
Bullshit!
“I don’t know, you bastard!!”
—Kwaang!
I spun my body in the air, kicked the bastard’s head, used it as a foothold, and shot my body into the air again to prepare for a second attack.
An enemy moving while fixed in the sky like this is a good foothold for me!
“My soul is bound to the past!”
But Coltarahen was just screaming as if he didn’t give a fuck about me. Dying, and dying again. Turning his body into a stream of blood and then restoring it, he kept doing that shit, seemingly not caring.
“But even dragons and gods can’t reverse time! Am I doomed to live forever without my true body! Do you know the fear of one who has lost their true body! I have to go, to the past! I can’t know what happened to my body…! The fear of one who has lost their true body!”
“I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about, you crazy bastard!!!”
If he’s gone crazy, it’s just easier for me!!
—Swish swish swish!!
And so, I unleashed Sword Flame, slashing and cutting Coltarahen’s entire body, who was letting out a frantic scream. Appropriately stepping on his regenerating body, shooting my body, and maintaining altitude by stepping on the footholds that were created from time to time, I unleashed endless attacks.
Each time, Coltarahen’s blood was clearly being consumed.
It was at that moment that I was attacking.
—Crack crack crack!!
—Crack!!!
From Coltarahen’s body, which had regenerated in an instant.
“What!!!”
Garlics sprouted like crazy!
“Ari!”
Is this Ari’s arrangement!!!
“Ugh, uwa!!! This is!! What is this!!! What is this!!! What the hell is this on my body…! Strange things on my bodyyyyyyyy!!!”
Seeing the garlics sprouting like crazy from his body, Coltarahen almost rolled his eyes back and convulsed.
“Get out of my bodyyyyyyyy!!! Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!! No!!! No!!! Noooooooo!!! Stop! Stooooooop! My true body! This is happening to my true body toooooooo!!!”
“What!”
Right then, as he was screaming, cracks appeared on his body and started splitting apart.
—Pwoooooooong!!!
His body exploded as it was.
“You fucking bastard!!!”
A blood-colored explosion occurred.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!”
This time it was me who screamed. I couldn’t withstand the aftershock and was falling like a meteor. It was a fierce… a fierce explosion. But the impact wasn’t strong, so I quickly assessed the situation as I fell.
“…!”
What?
The infinite blood warriors that had filled the floor had cleanly disappeared as if they had never been there from the start. The ground was the same white and clean marble floor as before. They were also standing still in the same place as before. I couldn’t see their expressions, but were they flustered?
“In my castle…!”
In my ears.
I heard Coltarahen’s voice, filled with madness.
“We must fight in my castle!!!”
My castle?
—Whoosh!
First, I rotated my body, pointing my feet downwards.
—Kugugugugugung!!!
And landed safely.
A crater was created in the marble floor, but it was okay.
“…”
Because I was feeling the power of a demigod right now.
This much height is nothing.
Anyway, just as I was about to turn around and go to them.
—Crack!
—Crack crack crack crack!!
The world started shaking.
—Flash!
—Kugugugugugugu!!
Suddenly, as if a high-intensity earthquake had occurred, the marble floor rippled like waves.
—Flash!
In an instant.
“Huh…?”
The world had changed.
—…
This wasn’t the field we had been fighting in until just now.
“Where is this…?”
A white floor.
And white pillars.
It was like a sacred white temple space.
What the hell is this?
This space was large enough to easily accommodate a division-level force, and the ceiling was so high that I couldn’t see where it was… Did the background suddenly change? Is this the third time? This was inside his barrier, so it was a space that could change as he pleased.
“Hey! Come here quickly!”
“Yeah!”
At Karin’s voice, I immediately ran to them.
“Are you okay!”
“Yeah! Of course, I’m okay!”
“Thank goodness!”
Karin spoke properly even in the midst of the urgency.
“What the hell is this…!”
“I think it’s the power of the barrier!”
“What kind of barrier is this… I can’t understand it.”
—Flash!
At that moment, a light like a kind of illumination shone.
It was shining on the front.
“That, that bastard!”
In front of us was a white altar that looked sacred, and Coltarahen was standing proudly on it.
—…
Receiving the sacred and brilliant light that flowed in from a window somewhere, he was looking down at us. What the hell is that bastard doing, striking a pose there?
“…”
Coltarahen, who had been looking at us silently.
Suddenly.
—Pwhooooooosh!!!
“Kyakyaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!! Keugh…!
He plunged his hand into his chest, splattering blood.
“Kehaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!”
—Tearrrrrr!!
He pulled out his own heart from within.
—Thump, thump…!
—Thump!
As crimson blood flowed thickly, the blood vessels connected to the heart trailed out. Coltarahen stared at his heart, which he had torn out of his chest as if he hated it.
—Swish!
He crushed his heart as he gripped it tightly.
“That, that crazy…!”
“Ggaaamdungie!!! That! Thaaaaat!!”
“Father…!”
It wasn’t just me who was flustered.
“Oh…!”
Coltarahen was struggling in pain.
“Ooooo!!”
Suddenly.
“Ooooooooooooo!!!”
He let out a bizarre scream filled with joy.
—Swoosh!
—Swoooooooooosh!
—Swooooosh!!!
An infinite amount of blood erupted from the fist that had crushed his heart. It felt like all the blood that the Vampire Lord had accumulated in his heart throughout his life was erupting, and the amount felt like it could easily fill the sea. It was like bursting a dam.
—Pshaaaaaak!
The blood that was being sprayed and sprayed.
At some point.
Formed `a certain shape` and stopped.
ㅡCrimson Blade.
It was a crimson blade.
“Heart Sword!!!!!!!”
Coltrahen raised the sword he had created, shouting,
“Extreme Heart Bladeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!”
Spitting as he spewed such nonsense.
ㅡSwoosh.
With that, his momentum shifted drastically.
His eyes regained their vitality.
A crimson aura swirled around his entire body.
And.
“I declare to the uninvited guests who have trespassed upon my castle.”
As if he had regained his reason.
Coltrahen, creating a dignified face and voice,
“You are all sentenced to death.”
The moment he kicked off the ground while saying that.
ㅡFwoooooosh!!
“Oh motherfucker!!!!!!”
He was already in front of me.
This bastard has become incredibly strong!!!
