Chapter 838 – 838. Vampire Remnants (5)
Unable to overcome her anger, Ju-hong swung her fist with all her might, but her fist did not touch her vampire.
Kaaang!
The scarlet fist hit her iron bars.
A harsh sound of metal reverberated throughout the prison, chilling the air, but nothing else happened.
“Kuk-kuk. Are you hurt?”
“…”
Ju-hong glared at her gnashing of teeth at the vampire’s openly mocking attitude.
With her ears on top of her head standing up and her hair on bristle, she warned the vampire, as if her eyes alone would bite her vampire and grind her to drink.
“Be careful on your way at night. Because I will definitely kill you.”
“Oh, that is scary. Scared!”
The vampire merely shrugged her shoulders and responded humorously to her scarlet threat.
In fact, what on earth could she do if she couldn’t break one of the bars of this prison?
To the vampire, the human named Ju-hong was just the food he had stored.
“I’m really looking forward to it. Four years is even more special.”
The vampire muttered as he looked at the vermilion with dark eyes.
He literally sees people’s hopeless emotions firsthand and enjoys drinking their blood.
Thinking of it as a delicacy, like eating it with more fragrant seasoning than just eating it.
The vampire, full of joy that she had obtained a new ingredient, was licking her lips while looking at the scarlet now.
It was as if a picture was drawn in her mind as she knelt down and begged her to save her life, begging her palms to wear out.
“What does the blood of four years stained with fear taste like? Kuu, kuk!”
“You trash bastard…”
Ju-hong looked him up and down and glared at the vampire with contempt as he licked his lips.
“You really never forgive.”
“Can’t you forgive me? Then what? A lowly human being who can’t properly escape even one of these prisons.”
“…”
“And you think you can beat me even if you escape?”
The vampire laughed at the overflowing scarlet ahead of her conceit.
He was confident of his absolute victory.
“It’s not just me here, there are hundreds of vampires I created and placed under me. You can handle them with just the two of you? Absolutely impossible.”
Already, the entire Viscounty of Brollton was like a monster’s den infested with vampires.
“Why do you think you are imprisoned here? Because even people like you are not on your side.”
The humans still remaining in the Viscounty have already succumbed to the vampires.
They had accepted the miserable fact that they were food for the vampires, and they had already chosen one villager every week to give to the vampires.
“Do you know what the people of this territory said when they gave you sleeping pills and offered you to me? They were relieved that they could live for two weeks now! You humans are such a race!”
As long as he and his family can live, he can casually drive those who are the same person but other people to death.
“It’s not just you. They used the same technique as you to put merchants and adventurers who came in from outside to sleep for these few months and dedicated them to me.”
The fundamental reason why the number of merchants and adventurers who headed south was gradually decreasing was because of the vampires who dominated the Viscounty of Brawlton and the territories of the Viscounty.
The territories of the Viscounty of Brawlton succumbed to the vampires for their own survival and betrayed their fellow humans.
“Even the lords, who claim that they are the owners of this place, sold the mother and daughter to live on their own.”
It was selfish, terrible, and uncivilized.
“…”
The enemies Cha Han-seong and Ju-hong have to deal with are not only the vampires who have taken over this place, but also the people of this territory.
“You still don’t know? Your side is not here. It is impossible to kill me.”
In addition to the overwhelming difference in power, the vampires showed strong confidence in the governance structure of this territory that they had painstakingly created over a long period of time.
“Or, I think it would be fun to watch the scene of being eaten by that vampire girl desperately holding on. I will wait for that time with anticipation.”
After that, the vampire giggled and disappeared into the darkness again.
“Ah-oh! That damn bastard!”
Kaaang!
Ju-hong, gnashing his teeth to see if his anger was not resolved, hit the iron grate as hard as he could.
However, the iron bars only vibrated and trembled from the impact, and were not damaged at all.
“… Hong-ah.”
“Why?”
“Why didn’t you hit it with all your might?”
“Uh? Did you notice it?”
Ju-hong was confused and asked Cha Han-seong.
In the first place, really breaking that iron bar was not so impossible for Ju-Hong.
If you strengthen your body by circulating your body’s mana, you can easily crush something like an iron bar.
“Our goal right now is not to catch that right away.”
Although Ju-hong showed passionate anger with his anger rising to the tip of his head, on the one hand, he was very calm.
For her, her current priority is to ‘find out the situation in the viscount territory.’
Ju-Hong also knew very well that it would be impossible to deal with the vampires and all the villagers encroaching on the entire territory.
That’s why he didn’t attack the vampire by revealing his power, and he controlled his power by hiding some of his power.
“And…”
He glanced back and looked at the two trembling mother and daughter and continued.
“Because it would be very difficult to fight while protecting those two.”
“…”
The appearance of such a scarlet was very unexpected.
He just thought he was letting his emotions get him angry, because while he was angry, he was aware of the current situation and he was taking action thinking about what he could and could not do.
Cha Han-seong asked Ju-hong with an expectant look.
“… Do you have any plans in mind?”
“No? Is there anything like that?”
“… What?”
“I knew you would think of that.”
“…”
Cha Han-seong put on a bewildered expression at Ju-hong’s answer, which deftly exceeded his expectations.
I don’t know if Ju-hong, who is the type to commit and see once, is now amazing, or if he simply commits and has no countermeasures.
Ju-hong frowned and said, as if he had noticed the meaning of Cha Han-seong’s gaze.
“Eh, I’m not good at making plans or strategies like this!”
“… Okay. Okay.”
Cha Hanseong let out a small sigh and thought for a moment.
“Let’s run away.”
After a short thought, the conclusion was to run away.
A vampire who took control of the entire territory and the people of the territory who succumbed to him.
Perhaps, not only in this territory, but also in the surrounding areas, people became vampires, and there was a danger that many people would die.
The purpose of ‘information collection’ originally allowed to Cha Han-seong has already been achieved immediately.
And as Ju-hong said, it was realistically impossible to wipe out the vampires encroaching on the entire territory with just the two of them while protecting Tia and Letty.
‘The knights’ support should come quickly…’
Cha Han-seong was well aware that it would be a very difficult task in reality.
No matter how much I thought about it, there was no other solution other than escape.
“Okay. OK.”
Zhu Hong nodded his head without any retort.
The desire to kill the vampire who had done such trashy things right away was like a chimney, but it was the reality, so there was no choice.
“But what about our luggage? You don’t even have a sword right now.”
It’s scarlet. Originally, fighting with bare hands was the main strength, but Cha Han-seong, who uses swordsmanship, didn’t have the Durandal he wore around his waist.
He probably took sleeping pills and was moved to this place, so he must have stored all his belongings and equipment separately.
“I’ll have to find it first.”
“It’s annoying… It’s not like you have to search the entire castle, right?”
“That’s not right.”
Cha Han-sung immediately called for a partner whose wavelength matched his soul.
“Durandal.”
[Called.]
“Are you aware of the situation?”
[Of course.]
“Can you pinpoint where you are now?”
[It is inside a separate warehouse outside the building.]
It didn’t seem too difficult to find the warehouse where Durandal was located, as long as he got out of this dungeon where not even a handful of light came in and went to the surface.
“I found the location. It seems like everyone is stuck with Jim.”
Ju-hong admired Cha Han-seong, who quickly exchanged location information through communication with Durandal.
“And. It’s a real fucking sword. I know how to speak.”
[… That’s rude. I am a ‘divine sword’ imbued with the power of a goddess…]
“Even if you say that, Hongi won’t listen.”
Durandal’s voice was conveyed only to Cha Han-seong, the owner of the contract with the holy sword, through the wavelength of the soul, so it was not heard by others who were not related.
Unfortunately, Durandal’s dissatisfaction did not reach Juhong.
◆ ◆ ◆
The start of the plan is an early lunch when the sun rises in the middle of the sky.
Vampires, whose fatal weakness is sunlight, deliberately aimed for the time when their strength was weakened by hiding in darkness where light did not reach them.
“Ha!”
[Juhyeonseong Polar Plain]
[Crushing Strike]
The moment when the government, which exerted all its might, tore through the air and touched the iron bars.
Kwajik!
The iron grate exploded like an apple being split.
Cha Han-seong, who intuited the tremendous destructive power with his own two eyes, swallowed his saliva without realizing it.
The thought that being hit head-on with that attack wouldn’t end with just breaking a bone wasn’t just a guess.
“Hee, hee… !”
In fact, Letty, who witnessed the horrific violence that took place in the dungeon where not a handful of light leaked in together, shuddered.
“What are you staring at?”
“Oh, no… I feel it again, because I want you to be really great.”
Unlike himself who uses a sword, seeing vermillion capable of exerting such an attack power with just his fists, he couldn’t help but think that something was wonderful or amazing.
“… Stop talking nonsense and go quickly and get your sword and luggage. Or should I hit you too?”
“Don’t talk harshly.”
Cha Han-seong shuddered at the sight of Ju-hong, who clenched his fists and pretended to take a posture.
She was confident that if she took her attack head-on, she would really lose her life, without adding the slightest exaggeration.
“Then I will go.”
“Come fast. Because one second is a waste.”
Cha Han-seong, who came out through the hole in the iron grate made by Ju-hong, began to run while being sent off by Ju-hong.
As soon as he quickly escaped the dungeon and came to the surface, he ran toward the warehouse where Durandal and Jim were supposed to be.
Perhaps because the sun was in the middle of the sky, there was no sign of a vampire.
The only thing that can be felt is the presence of people.
“You, you… !?”
“Stop!”
In preparation for an unexpected situation, the yeongjimin who were on the lookout discovered Hanseong Cha belatedly and tried to subdue him, but they couldn’t do anything about Hanseong Cha because several ordinary yeongjimin who did not have the power to do so rushed at him.
Fuck!
Cha Han-seong thrust his fist into the faces of Young Ji-min who were running towards him without hesitation.
“Cheuk!?”
The Yeongjimin’s heads turned from the heavy shock, and they fell down as they were unable to withstand the extreme damage that exceeded the allowable amount.
