Chapter 526 – Bloody Dirge (1)
Today, as usual, I was helping the volunteer group run the relief center.
It was obvious that I, who had no healing ability, and the members of the raid team would do it.
“I think we need more disinfectant.”
“Yes, I will get it right away.”
Something like finding and bringing out insufficient supplies.
“Aaaaah! It hurts so much!”
“Brother! Please hold on to this patient tightly!”
“Oh, yes.”
Something like holding and pressing a patient who is struggling in pain.
In short, if it’s just something you put in effort to do, you can think of it as taking on everything.
However, one person was of greater help than most of the volunteer priests.
“Wait just a moment. “My sister will help you get better soon.”
It would be Joo-yeon Han.
Although he has talents better suited to being a buffer than a healer, his healing ability is also excellent.
To be precise, it feels like I’m being pressed down with the massive magical power of an S-class hunter.
“Are you a saint by any chance?”
“Oh, no.”
A smile never left the face of Juyeon, who worked while receiving rave reviews.
“Ah…, She was so beautiful that I thought she was a saint.”
“Hehe.”
But why do they keep looking at me every time they tell me I’m beautiful?
The look in his eyes is as if he is boasting, ‘I am this kind of person, brother-in-law.’
“Ah.”
I understand.
Are you telling me to be nice when I have it because I’m that kind of person?
“That guy too.”
It satisfies everyone day and night, so what can we do better here?
It was when I was smiling bitterly and shaking my head.
“Hey, Mr. Kim. “Stop paying attention and just fly the goods.”
A sharp warning comes from work leader Shin Yu-jeong.
Let’s just get to work.

Evening when the sun sets.
At a time when the people who visited the relief station were leaving like a low tide, and they were busy cleaning up after themselves.
“Excuse me.”
Across the dark street, a familiar face walks toward the aid station and announces its presence.
The person who came was Viktor Vadim.
He also has a very disapproving expression.
People who are hesitant about the sudden appearance of the president.
I had no choice but to step forward.
“Welcome, Mr. President. Why did you come here this late at night? ?”
“Sorry for the late hour, priest. “I know it’s rude, but could I meet Director Michael for a moment?”
Even in times of urgency, his clear voice resonates throughout the aid station.
Upon hearing this, Michael walks out from the deepest part of the aid station.
“What are you doing at this hour? “Do you have an urgent patient?”
Viktor Vadim shakes his head at his question.
“I am not a patient, but I urgently need help, so I have to risk my courtesy to come to you at this late hour.”
“Help?”
“Yes.”
He nods his head with a sad expression.
“It looks like there is a problem in the Sanctuary of Blood.”
“… !”
A considerable amount of waves swept through the relief station.
* * *
Early morning.
A volunteer group and a raid team leave Brasov by bus and drive through the rough roads.
Viktor Vadim, who came last night, said there was a problem at the Sanctuary of Blood and asked for their help.
So what is the problem they are talking about?
-“All the soldiers patrolling around the Sanctuary of Blood lost contact?”
-“Yes.”
The red wall surrounding the Sanctuary of Blood is truly selfish.
You are not allowed to enter the inside from the outside, but you are free to come out from the inside.
That means that the vampires that exist in the Sanctuary of Blood can escape from there as much as they want.
For this reason, Viktor Vadim ordered constant patrols near the Sanctuary of Blood with insufficient troops.
Vampire monster grades range from B+ to A.
It was to prevent the terrible tragedy that would occur the moment they escaped.
Was it because of those efforts, or was it for another reason?
It is said that the vampires have never left their territory since the moment they confined it with the red wall.
However, four days ago, it is said that a problem arose in their patrol, which was always smooth.
Contact with patrollers during the early morning hours was suddenly cut off.
The problem did not end there.
Even other soldiers who set out to find them lost contact.
The number of missing soldiers was as many as twenty.
Viktor Vadim, who realized the seriousness of the situation, immediately visited the volunteer group, considering the worst possibility that a vampire had appeared.
This is because priests who control divine power, which is said to be the power of God, are the natural enemies of vampires.
That’s why.
They left the capital early in the morning and headed to the Sanctuary of Blood.
Kim Do-jin, staring blankly out the window on a moving bus, was lost in thought.
“You’re a vampire…”
Having been a hunter for over 20 years, of course he also dealt with vampires.
Dungeons with vampires are rare in Korea, so I only see them a few times, but I remember them clearly.
“Seup…, They were quite annoying guys.”
It is a monster with very difficult abilities.
It can turn into a bat, or it can turn into fog and become immune to physical attacks.
Is that all?
As a vampire, he is naturally good at sucking blood, and uses the blood to use unusual magic.
Although it varies from individual to individual, there are also some who are excellent at martial arts and swordsmanship.
Thanks to this, dungeons containing vampires were always unpopular.
The rewards are good, but even the rewards that are excellent to conquer are difficult enough to make you want to ignore them.
‘It might be a tough fight.’
It was when I was thinking about that and calming down.
“Hey, look up front over there!”
One of the priests sitting in the front points forward in an urgent voice.
As I quickly look away, I see a red barrier rising up into the sky.
And vampires flying in the sky flapping their huge bat wings.
* * *
A red barrier that exudes the strong scent of blood.
Vampires who flew in from beyond and soldiers chased by them.
In a situation similar to chaos, the volunteer group and the attack team rush out.
“Come this way!”
The priests immediately spread their sacred shields to attract the soldiers.
Meanwhile, the raiders who were launched early clash with the vampires.
“You bats!”
“How dare you tackle the topic of a lowly blood bag… !”
“Shut up, you mosquito!”
If anyone hears it, they’ll think it’s a human vs. Human fight.
That’s one of the reasons vampires are difficult to deal with.
Conversation works.
I don’t know why their words are automatically translated, but it’s very annoying.
“Ugh…, Now, wait a minute!”
“What, what?”
“My, I was wrong. “I’ll go back into the sanctuary, so just spare my life!”
“No, what happened all of a sudden…” ?”
Look at that.
He kneels before the monster and begs for his life.
And one of the raiders is so embarrassed that he loses the chance to win.
It seems like I’ve never dealt with a vampire before.
While he hesitated for a moment, a vampire rushed at him with its molars flashing.
“It’s fake, you idiot!”
“Kkeut…” !?”
I knew I would be like that.
He immediately shoots a fireball and stabs it in the middle of the back of the vampire who bit the nape of the raid member.
Puuuuung!
“Kiaaaaa!”
A guy soaring into the sky, screaming in pain.
He approaches the raider who barely escapes the blood bag situation and leaves a warning.
“Never hesitate. “If you get bitten one more time, you will die.”
“Ugh… “Thank you.”
If you hesitate, you die.
Common sense when dealing with monsters…, No, something that cannot even be called common sense.
Even though they know this, about 20% to 30% of those who deal with vampires for the first time end up flinching at their pleas without even realizing it.
Because they are stupid?
Well, that’s not to say that there is no such thing, but…, The biggest reason is because of its appearance.
Except for the sharp molars that are good for sucking blood and pale skin, they are just like humans.
Even that is very handsome.
You know why.
The face is probability.
In fact, many male hunters were attacked by female vampires, and many female hunters were attacked by male vampires.
And one more thing.
“Ugh… Please save me! “I will enter the sanctuary and never be seen again!”
Their acting skills are extraordinary.
Anyone looking at this would think that I graduated from the Department of Theater and Film at Vampire Goseong University.
He looks like a handsome man and has excellent acting skills.
These two things distract those who see it for the first time, even if only for a moment.
And vampires are cunning enough to never miss the timing.
But this is only for beginners.
“Did I really do something wrong?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“If you did something wrong, you should die.”
Pow!
“Ugh… !”
It doesn’t work for old people like me.
“Without this blood or tears… !”
“Oh, that’s right.”
He nods towards the dying guy, spouting nonsense.
It’s not wrong.
It’s been a long time since the blood and tears dried up.
After making a vampire good, he looks up at the sky.
“Hwiyu…, It’s more than I thought.”
It’s not exact because I haven’t counted properly, but the remaining number is around fifty.
Considering that the power of each entity is at least B to A, it is quite fierce.
But there is no such thing as defeat.
Everyone gathered here is the elite of the elite.
“Wow!”
“Holy shit… !”
“Where does this kind of power come from in a blood bag?”
In fact, the situation of the war is very favorable to our side.
I was about to move on, thinking that if things continued like this, things would soon be neatly cleaned up.
“Everyone stops.”
A polite yet cold voice from the back of the battlefield stopped everyone’s movements, including mine.
When I looked back, something very surprising happened.
Aren’t the soldiers who were chased by vampires just a moment ago and managed to enter the protective shield and survive holding their swords to the necks of the priests who were like lifesavers?
Among them, the one at the forefront takes off his rusty military helmet and continues his speech.
“If you move even one step, all the priests will die.”
A familiar face.
Among the many, many people, the one who stared straight at me twisted his lips.
“Now it’s your turn to be buried.”
… I don’t like that because it’s frustrating.
