Chapter 542 – The Apostle’s Fate (1)
Is it because the strong hill that one can lean against at any time has disappeared?
Or maybe it’s because I’m so angry at the thought of making oatmeal and giving it away to a dog.
Mountain beyond the mountain.
Even though the situation was like being in the middle of a mountain, my mind became calm.
Maybe it’s because the branches of my thoughts can’t expand any further.
Survive by doing everything you can.
Because nothing else comes to mind.
In the widened field of view, you can see Viktor Vadim in joy, holding the heart of the true ancestor in his hand.
“Let me ask you just one question.”
“Hmm…, Ask. “I’m in a good mood right now, so I’ll answer whatever you want.”
My eyebrows are frowning.
I appreciate your answer, but I don’t like your arrogant expression.
“I understand why your heart was taken.”
As I said before, a vampire’s power comes from the heart.
That means that if you can take the heart of the true ancestor, you can actually become the second true ancestor.
“What do you want to do by going that far?”
I was curious.
What on earth do you want to do with that power?
Just by looking at it, it doesn’t seem to be patriotic.
Then the guy answered.
“Anything.”
Anything…, Ira.
“It means I want to live my life the way I want.”
“The choice of words is not very noble, but…, Well, that’s the correct answer.”
Viktor Vadim obediently agrees.
Let’s scratch a little more.
“I don’t know what you want, but do you want to give up being human?”
“Of course.”
The guy nods his head as if it’s so obvious.
Wow.
This is not it.
“Is race really that important?”
“Yeah…”
“Are humans good and vampires simply evil?”
“…”
“No. I can’t possibly answer yes. Among the people you have seen, there are probably some who are more devilish than the devil.”
… It’s not wrong.
Because not all humans are good beings.
These days, it seems like there are more people who are close to evil.
That’s probably why people like Francis were praised more highly.
“I don’t mind races. “I just wanted power.”
A heart that still beats even though it has been a long time since it escaped from its original owner’s body.
Viktor Vadim’s face, looking at this truly tough vitality, is full of deep desire.
“The power that immediately stained a third of Romania with blood.”
Humans are sometimes caught by strange sentiments.
For example, when I witnessed an overwhelming sight that far exceeded my imagination.
“I see.”
Wallachia, including the capital Bucharest.
Viktor Vadim, who saw one of the three regions that make up Romania being destroyed at once, seemed to harbor feelings he should not have as he saw the Jinjo standing tall at the center.
“You admired Jinjo.”
It is none other than the feeling of longing.
You will think it is nonsense.
It’s not hatred, it’s admiration for the person who so cruelly destroyed my country.
Is that even possible?
However, sometimes incomprehensible phenomena and emotions push us into confusion.
The smile on Viktor Vadim’s mouth disappears.
“I’m starting to get scared.”
A deep life creeping out from the gaze.
“My intuition is whispering. “If I can’t have you, I must kill you.”
The sincere life soon disappeared like melting snow.
What took its place was leisure.
They probably think of everyone, including me, as fish that have already been caught.
His words continue.
“It was time to escape from the collapsing city. At that time, Jinjo clearly saw me. But he just watched, he didn’t do anything. At that time, I felt an overwhelming emotion.”
As if he was remembering that time, his face was filled with madness as he looked up at the sky.
“That is a true powerhouse. The country I worked so hard to build was so fleeting. In the end, a strong leader is needed to create a wealthy and strong country.”
“So you crawled in? To the one who destroyed my country?”
Viktor Vadim nods.
“I was sure. I am confident that if I get that power, I can rebuild this country again and again.”
His intentions are revealed in every word he shares.
It seemed like they didn’t hide it on purpose.
Did you think that since you had acquired great power, there was no need to worry anymore?
“Did you ask me earlier? “What do you want to do as Jinjo?”
He lifts his beating heart and continues speaking.
“I’m about to establish a new country. A wealthy and powerful country ruled by a new race that deeply inherits the blood of the original ancestor. A country that everyone cannot ignore, but rather must bow their heads to!”
Viktor Vadim puts his hand holding his heart to his mouth after finishing his speech.
“So wait a moment. “I have to eat the heart before time passes.”
“Are you capable of eating it up?”
“If it was impossible, I wouldn’t have even tried. But didn’t you tell me? “The apostle of the seven deadly sins.”
A mouth that opens wide.
“Even though I’m like this, it’s because I was chosen by God.”
Sharp teeth bite off a handful of the heart in your hand.
Push!
Blood pouring out.
He ravenously ate the heart.
Covered in bright red blood, like a child eating with something smeared around his mouth.
The admiration continues.
“It’s delicious, it’s delicious…” ! “It’s so delicious that I’m dying that it’s a shame that I only get to experience this taste once in my life!”
It looks really delicious.
“Tsuup…, Chureup!”
When you see them licking up even a drop of blood from their palms and fingers with their tongue.
Changes began in his body after he finished feasting.
A familiar black energy flows over the red energy that flowed like a proud river.
At the same time, the gluttony that had been quietly sleeping in the stomach begins to stir.
“Kkkk…” Yes, it is this power… !”
Black and red.
The energies of two different colors seem to collide for a moment, but then blend together.
Two energies that naturally cling to each other as if they were originally one body.
Soon, the black-as-red and red-as-black energy is completed.
Looking at that, I finally realize.
“It’s finally finished… !”
The reason why Gluttony, who was sleeping in my stomach, constantly wriggled every time he saw the Duke.
Because he was pretending to be human and hiding his vampire powers?
No.
The reason he reacted was not because of the power of a vampire, but because of the power of the Seven Deadly Sins.
“Greed and True Ancestor’s blood sucking…, Blood Eater is a combination of the two!”
This guy was an apostle of greed.
Same as me.
* * *
The true ancestor’s blood nullifies the blood of all others and dyes it with only its own color.
Because it is that strong.
Just one drop of blood is enough to beat a whole body of blood.
Then what is so different about the blood of the true ancestors?
The first reason is compression.
Jinjo is given the power to compress blood.
Enough to concentrate the blood of dozens of humans into just one drop.
In other words, one drop of the True Ancestor’s blood is equivalent to the total amount of blood possessed by dozens or hundreds of humans.
So it wasn’t a big deal.
To destroy human blood with just one drop.
The second is a will written in blood.
The blood of the true ancestor fully reflects the will of the owner.
This means that if you put a certain will in your blood, the moment it comes out, you can move blindly according to the will that have already been engraved in it without any special instructions.
That’s why.
The reason Viktor Vadim, the apostle of greed, coveted the power of the True Ancestor.
“Come out.”
Cut your finger and let the blood drip.
Tap!
Todog!
Three or four drops of blood falling.
It soon expands its body and forms a shape the size of a house.
Crrr… !
The completed form is a red lion.
Every time he moves a little, the red liquid that forms the shape begins to flutter, creating a strange flow.
“Kkkk…, Yes, this is it.”
The power felt from the low roaring lion can be compared to that of an S-class.
Can you believe it?
A beast created with only three or four drops of blood possesses S-class power.
A level of power that can truly be called a miracle.
His gaze, filled with joy, turns to Kim Do-jin.
I wanted to try it out.
How powerful is the beast you created?
“Are you going to stay still? “If you step forward now, I’m willing to give up the first strike.”
After hearing those words, Kim Do-jin’s grip tightens.
“If it’s a favor like that, I’ll accept it.”
Kim Do-jin slowly approaches with increasing momentum.
A red lion blocks the way.
There is only one will contain in the blood that makes up a lion.
“Come on, show me your strength.”
To kill someone who is hostile to the owner.
The blood lion reacts to Kim Do-jin’s killing spree towards Viktor Vadim and rushes at him, shaking the earth.
Kim Do-jin was dumbfounded.
“Truly, it’s a shame to give up the first strike.”
A shadow that falls over your head in the blink of an eye.
A huge front paw attacks that looks as if it could crush a human being without a trace.
Hold the sword with both hands and slash it towards your thick wrist.
Cheonhak-!
Spattering blood.
However, the cut was only about 10 cm.
It even absorbs the blood that spills on the ground and completely restores its form.
Kim Do-jin sighed when he saw this.
“… An even more damn monster was born.”
When he swings his front paw, his red claws shoot out like missiles.
Kim Do-jin is startled and steps back, striking out one by one.
It’s an attack where he pulls out his claws and shoots.
Because it is a beast made of blood, its attack pattern is also quite bizarre.
It was when Kim Do-jin was briefly captured by the blood lion.
Patter!
The blood flowing from Viktor Vadim’s finger creates another beast.
A group of crocodiles with long faces lying flat on the ground and crawling on all fours.
It runs like crazy and opens its long snout.
Kwaaaaang-!
Croak!
“… !”
Kim Do-jin flies off the ground by a narrow margin.
It wasn’t the end.
Crocodiles that have missed their prey close their mouths and curl their bodies into a ball.
The raised scales erupt from his rounded back one by one, and eventually they all fly towards Kim Do-jin.
“Tsk… !”
Red scales fill the heavens and earth.
Realizing that he was not good at dodging, he swung his sword at high speed.
Chaechaechaechaeng!
Every time the sword touches the blood, it returns to its original liquid form and falls to the floor.
Those watching this were feeling chilled.
Because the blood pouring down seemed to come from Kim Do-jin’s body.
A sword swung with dazzling speed completes another magic trick.
「Lava Shell」
Scarlet-colored lava flows heavily around his body.
Scales pouring down on it.
Chii Iik-!
Chi-ik!
No matter how it takes shape, its essence is blood.
The blood, unable to withstand the high temperature of the lava, oxidizes, leaving only the fishy scent of blood.
Another crisis overcome.
At that time, I was preparing to strike at the crocodiles who were opening their mouths for a smooth landing.
Parrrr!
A strange wave of air passes over your head.
When I quickly raised my head, what I saw was a huge red bee the size of my forearm.
“… ?!”
He twists his body and delivers a sword strike prepared to feed it to a crocodile.
Plop!
Purge!
Bees being chopped up.
However, the overwhelming number fills the empty space quickly.
In order to counter this, I twisted my whole body and tried to throw a sword strike, but it was impossible.
Poop!
“… !”
The bee’s thick sting finally burrows and pierces Kim Do-jin’s shoulder.
A rush of pain.
I finally understand.
Why did Elena and Shin Yoo-jeong suffer so much?
‘Damn… !’
Beyond my crumpled vision, I see blood rods mushrooming into my body.
Eventually, the body is ovulated.
Poop!
Puck!
Phew-!
Holes appear all over the body, as if hit by a gun.
A body that quickly turned into rags.
Kim Do-jin’s new model, which succeeded in killing the bees that stuck their stingers into his body without losing concentration, falls down helplessly.
Tatak!
I barely escaped the ugly task of being thrown to the ground.
But it was the worst.
‘The sight…’
My eyes become blurry.
It looks like too much blood was spilled.
It wasn’t simply because there was a hole in the body.
Blood Eater.
They literally pierced the body and even absorbed the blood.
If I hadn’t acted quickly, I might have become a mummy right away.
“Whoa, whoo…”
A miserable appearance.
A roar bursts out of the Duke’s mouth as he looks at Kim Do-jin, who is staggering and letting out his breath.
“Khaha-hot! It’s amazing, it’s really amazing… !”
Clap clap clap!
Overflowing applause.
I was impressed.
To his new strength.
I get shivers.
With just a few dozen drops of blood, he turned the man who had pushed him into rags.
‘This is possible.’
I felt confident.
At this level, we will be able to win against the world.
‘Cancer, it’s possible!’
I finally understand.
Why was Jinjo so relaxed and full of leisure in everything?
It was not simply strength, but overwhelming strength.
Kim Do-jin appears at the end of his gaze.
I no longer had any lingering regrets toward him.
A pawn that gets blocked by just a few beasts is now a thing of the past here.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I got it. “I wonder roughly what my strength is.”
I decided to be courteous.
I decided to give a painless death to the person who presented me with both a crisis and an opportunity.
“Go first and wait. I will send my colleagues soon.”
“…”
Animals begin to gather at the gesture of his hand.
The way they were running ahead seemed like a competition.
To be favored by the owner.
He said it was he who followed his will.
Animals that rush at you without worrying about who goes first.
Just before the teeth filled with the scent of blood touch his still body.
Pooooong-!
One by one, the blood beasts lost their form and flowed down into a puddle.
A puddle that is quite deep enough to submerge your ankles.
Inside, Kim Do-jin raised his head.
With an ominous smile.
“… ?!”
Viktor Vadim’s face was distorted.
What on earth happened?
When I was wondering, Dojin Kim opened his mouth.
“This is delicious.”
A very different voice from before.
The blasphemous, ominous, and unpleasant sounds tickle my appetite.
“Give me more.”
At the same time, a dark energy that seemed to devour everything began to swirl behind him.
