Chapter 515 – Sanctuary of Blood (2)
Preparing to leave Korea went more smoothly than I expected.
To be precise, it would be correct to say that there is nothing to do.
During Son Si-woo’s time, whenever he went out to conquer a dungeon in a foreign country, the most important thing was information.
The environment within the dungeon.
Types and numbers of monsters that appear.
And based on this, we even formed party members.
I would do my best to gather information, create a hypothetical strategy based on that, and then get on the plane.
But this time, those preparations were meaningless.
Because there is almost no information about Sanctuary of Blood.
“… The door has been locked for 10 years, so it’s natural.”
After the king of the vampires, Jinjo, fell into a deep sleep due to the brilliant performance and tearful sacrifice of the attack team led by Francis Meyer.
A hemispherical red wave emanated from the castle where he was sleeping.
The wave, which expanded in size at breakneck speed, pushed all the humans standing on the cursed land out of the territory, and stood still at the border of the territory, becoming a huge barrier preventing the invasion of foreign enemies.
The wall is now called the Blood Wall.
If you get close, the fishy smell of blood is so strong that people with a bad stomach will faint.
Anyway.
Because of that barrier, no one knows the information inside the Blood Sanctuary.
What I saw beyond the barrier was that vampires patrolled in pairs?
“It’s difficult.”
Not being able to know information means that you have to confront it yourself to find out.
It is obvious that unnecessary sacrifices will increase in the process.
So I was worried.
“… “Take these with you.”
Should we accompany our guild members to a land where hardships are obvious at first glance, or rather, where death lurks everywhere?
First, Juyeon is confirmed.
From hunter experience to skills, everything is flawless and at the highest level in the industry.
He’s a guy who will do his bit wherever he goes, but it wouldn’t make much sense if you didn’t take him with him.
Next is Seoyeon.
“… “I should take him with me.”
That child is also a member of the Guardians, both in name and name.
Unlike me, who is just an ordinary member, I am closer to the leadership of the Guardians.
Although his skills are still lacking, he is an apostle chosen by the Seven Great Precepts, just like the saint.
That’s why I don’t have a choice.
If she wants to go, she goes, but if she doesn’t, she doesn’t.
A few days ago, I explained the situation and asked about his intentions, and he said he was going without the slightest hesitation.
A sense of justice… That doesn’t seem to be the reason.
My guess is that it was to get over the wall.
An A-class hunter who faces a wall and starts knocking soon begins to suffer from severe thirst.
I want to fall into the vast sea of possibilities beyond this thick wall.
You can feel it even if you just lightly touch the wall.
Beyond this lies a world on a completely different level than before.
That’s why Seoyeon wants to go.
To break down the wall.
Although consistent training is important, in the end, hunters earn the most from actual combat.
“Okay, up to this point is confirmed.”
I feel a little sick, but what can I do?
My child, who is already grown up, volunteered to go.
“… To begin with, I am not even a parent now.”
I don’t have it now.
Any qualifications that could hinder her choice.
“Anyway, the problem lies next.”
In fact, the real problem starts now.
The remaining guild members.
Lim Na-eun, Elena, and Shin Yu-jeong have just reached the end of A-list.
Going one step further, Yoon Si-hoo and Jin Ha-rin went from trainees to official guild members.
“Ah…, It’s really dangerous this time.”
The place I have to go this time is more dangerous than any place I’ve been to so far.
So much so that you might lose your life if you get upset.
Since there is very little information, there is no guarantee that they can be safely protected.
If you look at it up to this point, there really isn’t a single reason to take it.
“The problem is that there is so much to gain.”
Francis Meyer and Angela.
The elite of the Guardians who are active in Europe are gathered together, led by these two people.
It means that no matter where you turn, there is a lot to see and learn.
That’s why I’m confident.
If they come back safely from there, they will definitely be able to move up one or two levels.
“How… ?”
I keep thinking about it, but the same answer comes back again and again, like a random ticket.
Knock!
“Guild leader, everyone has gathered in the conference room.”
“Yes, I’m leaving right away.”
After explaining the situation to them, let them choose.
If I go, it goes, and if I don’t go, it doesn’t go, so I have no choice but to do this because it bothers me.
“Let’s go.”
I lightly get up and leave the guild leader’s room.
The destination is the 4th floor executive conference room, one floor below.
A place prepared to be used only for guild founding contributors to gather and hold meetings.
Crash!
I boldly kicked in the door and asked the people who were talking amongst themselves.
“Who wants to go to Romania?”
“…”
The atmosphere became cold.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
A short word that was too concise was stretched out.
“So, our guild sponsor, a saint, asked for help with the villain extermination operation.”
“Oh, right.”
“The area of operation is Romania, and it is also the fortress where Jinjo sleeps… ?”
“Very accurate.”
As expected, Lim Na-eun.
When it comes to being smart, you’re the best amongst us.
Since it’s already come to this, should they just give me a position like a secretary or a staff member?
Just as I was continuing to think insignificant thoughts.
Shin Yu-jeong asked.
“No…, Those bastards have lost so much fear that they use the Jinjo’s fortress as a hideout?”
“That’s right.”
I’m curious too.
So, I definitely plan to ask when I go this time.
“Jinjo…, It’s true… ?”
“Even Francis Maier, who put that truth to rest, is coming with us.”
“Even though the scale has grown, it has become too big…”
The guild members added one word at a time with a puzzled expression.
They look like they can’t believe this situation.
What…, It has to be that way.
No matter how much you decided to live the life of a hunter, you never thought you would get caught up in something this big.
Talk to them to help them make a choice.
“It’s a very dangerous place. “There is little information, there are a lot of vampires, and the villains are very capable.”
“…”
“To put it more bluntly, if you let your guard down even for a moment, you could lose your life.”
In the worst case, even part of the body may not reach Korean soil.
Swallow back your words and say something else.
“That’s why I don’t want to force anything this time.”
It is not allowed for each person to reveal their thoughts here.
To avoid the unfortunate situation of being swept away by the atmosphere and ending up in an unwanted place.
“Three days later, at 8 a.M., In front of the guild headquarters. Anyone who is going to Romania should come forward. People who don’t want to go should enjoy a short vacation. But keep this in mind.”
A choice like this is bound to be painful, no matter which one you choose.
Those who decided to go and those who decided to stay.
Because it means that everyone had to suffer for a little while.
“No matter what choice we make, nothing will change between us.”
I don’t praise you for deciding to go, nor do I criticize you for deciding to stay.
I just respect their choices.
“I had a hard time listening to the heavy story, so I’m leaving for today.”
The guild members left the conference room with heavy steps.
* * *
That day is approaching.
You bet yourself.
The moment when the shackles on each other’s ankles are finally released.
On that day soon, the person who would have to kneel was himself.
Unlike himself, who was struggling to live with his broken body, he grew his trash-like body and flew high into the sky.
Moreover, if you think about what you are going to do, it would not be surprising if you were beaten to death at any time.
But he didn’t want to.
He didn’t want to beg him, nor did he want to be crushed under his feet.
I was the one who did it.
But it was also me who suffered.
‘I feel unfair enough.’
I couldn’t get any of the things I wanted to gain by taking this body.
No, it actually became more miserable than when I watched from afar.
The pain of not being able to reach out even once to see what you wanted so much in front of you.
Even his broken body has now been discovered.
After that, his openly considerate actions made him even more miserable.
“No…, This is not what I want…”
He wanted a brilliant life.
He wanted to hold her in his arms and enjoy everything that a human being can enjoy.
Even if it was only for one day, I took the risk of living like that.
“Is this any different from the person I was back then?” !”
Only my body and the house I live in have changed, but nothing has changed about me.
No, I guess I have to say I couldn’t do it.
Deep despair enveloped him.
I thought there was no dream or hope in my body, but he achieved success with that body.
Even though he had a body that he thought would be full of dreams and hopes, he was still the same.
It led him to evil.
And for that moment, they whispered.
“We will help you achieve all the things you have kept deep in your heart.”
Michelle.
A confidant given to me by the apostle of jealousy.
I followed her advice.
In the process, he did not hesitate to commit inhumane acts.
Even that was difficult only once.
The second and third times, the guilt lessened, and I even felt a little joy.
I took the stairs step by step to get to where I am now.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered in a dirty voice.
“Now only the last thing remains.”
“… What should I do?”
“It only takes one person, no more. “Kill him mercilessly and take everything from him.”
If that happens.
“You will have everything you want.”
The corners of the mouth twitch.
At best, it is a repetition of what has been done so far.
He asked with a faint smile on his face as he took the last step, which seemed so easy.
“So…, Where is the target?”
“Unfortunately, it’s not Korea.”
His eyebrows furrowed slightly.
“If it’s not Korea…”
She answered.
“Romania.”
Long, sexy fingers run down my chest.
Down.
Further down.
Eventually, it reached the waist.
She did what she said.
“The master’s final target is hiding there.”
A hot breath that paralyzed reason penetrated her ears.
