Chapter 840 – 840. My Sister’s Cheat Key (1)
“Escape… I did… ?”
Upon hearing the subordinate’s report, the vampire made an expression of disbelief.
The news of the escape of the mother and daughter who were locked in prison together with the two men and women who looked like adventurers.
The vampire, who heard the chaos in broad daylight only at night when the sun went down, gnashed his teeth and became indignant.
“How the hell did you manage it!”
“That, that… !”
The subordinate he made into a vampire himself tried to make an excuse, but the vampire cut off her words as if he didn’t want to hear his excuse.
“I hate to hear it! You worthless bastard!”
The vampire scorned her own minions.
“You don’t know how to do anything right! You scumbags!”
Kwajik!
In a fit of indignation, he hit the desk with his fist, and the wooden table shattered in vain.
As if representing his angry mood, the energy flowing from the vampire’s body filled the room.
“Big…”
Originally human, but transformed into monsters by vampires, the subordinates could not resist its power.
The ‘vampire factor’ imprinted in the blood flowing inside the body was the source of the power that made them transcend humans, but at the same time, it is proof that they are slaves to the vampire, the owner of that power.
The subordinates could not disobey the vampire’s planting and orders.
If he told me to die just because I was uncomfortable, I had to die.
No matter how unreasonable an order may be, it is the privilege and natural right of vampires who are no different from their masters.
The subordinates couldn’t help but feel intense anxiety, as if all the blood in their bodies was drying up due to the energy scattered by the master, the vampire.
“Shit…”
The vampire bared his fangs and gnashed his teeth in annoyance.
I wanted to kill them right now and all the humans I was keeping alive as prey, but in reality it was a handshake.
“Get it right now! Those!”
“I don’t know if it’s those two mother and daughter, but the two adventurers I locked up are stronger than I thought. Bringing you alive…”
“It doesn’t matter if I kill you! If you can’t bring me back alive, I’d rather cut off your head and bring you back! Make sure you’re completely dead!”
“Ah, I see!”
The subordinates hurriedly left the viscount’s mansion.
Vampires’ physical abilities easily exceed those of the average human male.
It was only a matter of time before they caught up, even if they pursued them late at night.
The real problem is that Cha Han-seong and Ju-hong, along with their two escaped mothers and daughters, reach Pernin, the capital of the Pernias kingdom, adjacent to it.
What if the fact that the vampire race was still alive along with what he had done in the Viscounty of Brawlton was known to the Pernias family?
“… It’s the worst.”
In the worst case scenario, the Artia Knights or the Magus Wizards would launch an all-out sweeping operation again.
As a vampire, it was a situation I never wanted to imagine.
For what purpose did she come to this periphery of the Viscount’s territory and uselessly pretend to be an inferior human to seize the territory?
The Vampire Lord Nosferard died and the vampire race was already extinct.
He is the only vampire who was able to escape from the eyes of the Artia Knights and Magus Wizards.
He needed time and food to grow his strength and create forces, avoiding the eyes of knights and wizards with monstrous powers.
So, he chose the Viscounty of Brawlton, which is far away from Pernin as much as possible, and ate the humans smoothly.
In the process, some of the humans created limbs that could not disobey their commands.
Merchants and adventurers visiting the territory and nearby villages were stabbed and killed by villagers and villagers, and while eating them, the flow of information that could flow into the capital was blocked at the source.
“I didn’t expect it to take so quickly…”
Even the vampire predicted that it would happen someday.
But even if the timing was fast, it was too fast.
Because he didn’t have enough time and food to develop his strength yet.
Although he was able to achieve some growth, he was originally a vampire lord who threatened the entire Knights of Artia and the Magus Wizards and nearly drove them to death.
Compared to Nosferad’s power, it was far from enough.
“You have to stop it no matter what.”
Before Cha Han-seong and Ju-hong reached the capital, he had to kill them.
There was no option now to keep them alive for food.
The situation has become so urgent that he has to kill if necessary.
“It’s rather fortunate that the mother and daughter are together.”
If there were only two adventurers, even if the vampires were chasing them, they wouldn’t know how the battle itself would turn out.
The subordinates the vampires created from their limbs were originally human not too long ago, and their physical abilities were superior to those of humans, but they were not that strong.
However, fighting while protecting Tia and Letty would be a huge burden on them.
“Quuck, stupid things.”
It was the worst handshake for a vampire to sympathize with Tia and Letty while possessing the ability and take them along.
Her original intention was to eat her own daughter, Tia, at the desperate moment when Tia was directly eaten by her own daughter while sucking her blood, so she felt regretful.
“There’s nothing I can do about it now that things have turned out this way.”
I thought optimistically and decided to wait for the news of the death of Cha Han-sung and Ju-hong, but belatedly I felt uneasy.
“Are you really going to be okay?”
He was arrogant, looked down on humans, and was stupid, but he was cunning, prudent, and cowardly enough to put a lot of effort into taking over this territory for his own survival and growth.
He was still afraid of the existence of the Artia Knights and the Magus Wizards, who might come to kill him, so he was trying to stop his information from leaking into Pernin by hastily killing Cha Han-seong and Ju-hong.
“… You have to make sure you do it.”
The vampire who had been thinking of standing by and waiting stood up.
He felt that if he could not personally confirm the death of Cha Han-seong and Ju-hong, the anxiety that had blossomed in his heart would not be relieved.
◆ ◆ ◆
A dark night when the sun goes down.
Tia and Letty were sleeping in a tent.
It was a sleep on the cold and hard floor, but the two mothers and daughters quickly embraced each other and fell asleep, probably more comfortable than sleeping in prison.
“…”
“…”
Cha Han-seong and Ju-hong looked at each other without saying anything and nodded.
Through the thicket in the dark of the night, I felt signs approaching.
The two quietly prepared for battle.
Cha Hanseong swung Durandal toward the forest where he felt his presence first.
Durandal’s blade slashed through the tall, waist-high bushes and at the same time decapitated the vampire hiding inside.
Squeak
The vampire’s head, which had been neatly cut off without any obstruction, fell to the floor without even a moment to scream.
“Uh, how… !?”
The fellow vampires, who had been hiding in the bush together and were staring at an opportunity, looked up at Cha Han-seong and Ju-hong with a look of astonishment.
The night is overwhelmingly advantageous to them as vampires.
Even the pitch-black darkness was not a hindrance to them, and they did not build up fatigue easily, let alone physically stronger than humans.
However, Cha Han-seong and Ju-hong naturally overpowered themselves despite the overwhelming advantage of vampires.
“If you approach me with open footsteps like that, anyone will notice.”
“That…”
The vampires were speechless.
Were their footsteps that loud?
I hadn’t even thought about it.
Because I had never been conscious of that.
Just very naturally, they thought they melted into this dark forest.
They didn’t realize that it was their own illusion.
Until now, they had hunted and ate people like that, and even adventurers were no match for the vampires in this night.
Vampires had never met such powerful veteran adventurers before.
Since they do not move well unless it is profitable for them and are based in the right place, they rarely appear in these peripheries.
So they did not know how to fight against a powerful opponent they had never met before.
Ohhapjizol
Although each individual possessed a powerful force that surpassed that of humans, their appearances were exactly the same.
“Jen… Page!”
In the end, one vampire could not stand it and ran out.
The vampire, who appeared in a different bush than the one Cha Han-seong and Ju-hong were looking at, made a leap.
In the act of revealing itself in the dark night, an impatient judgment made due to fear and fear of Cha Han-seong, who cut his throat in an instant.
I don’t know if it’s strength or speed, but there was no way that a crude attack without such technical prowess could be eaten by the two.
[Juhyeonseong Polar Plain]
[Sammaebung Kwon (三昧崩拳)]
The face of the vampire who floated into the air was struck by the vermilion regime.
Perong!
As soon as it touches her skin, the vampire’s head, swept away by the liberated magical energy, explodes in vain.
In the place where the head had been blown like a balloon, there was not even a trace left, not even the contents.
In the aftermath of the scarlet fist sweeping away like a storm, the vampire’s head evaporated as if it had never existed in the first place.
Cha Han-seong and Ju-hong ran forward, leaving behind the body of the vampire who had lost its head lying on the floor in vain.
“Left.”
“Then I’m right.”
The two naturally set their backs to each other after deciding which area to take and which direction to take.
Leaning on each other, they knocked down the vampires in front of them and cut them down.
‘How much did you spend?’
The number of vampires the two of them dealt with was well over twenty.
Still, the presence felt in the dark forest and the eyes watching them.
It was more than twenty even at a rough estimate.
“Tsk.”
Ju-hong felt annoyed at the offensive of the vampires, who showed no signs of diminishing no matter how many times he knocked them down.
“Kyaaaaagh!”
Cha Han-seong, who was working hard to counterattack while blocking her vampires’ offensive with her, turned his head.
It was Tia’s scream.
At the same time, all I could see was Tia in the overturned tent, hiding behind her back as if protecting her Letty, trembling.
“Ah… !”
Cha Han-seong realized that they were careless.
Why did he think that the vampires in front of him would only target them?
Because you and vermilion are the strongest forces?
It was stupid.
I was complacent.
There was no guarantee that vampires would not target Tia and Letty.
“What are you doing! Go quickly!”
“Sorry… !”
Cha Hanseong briefly apologized to Juhong’s screams and immediately ran towards the tent with Tia and Letty.
Faster, faster, even 1 second faster.
He ran with all his might, only with the single thought of saving the two mothers and daughters.
Time seemed to pass slowly.
The sight of a vampire swinging her claws as if they had been sharpened toward the trembling Tia.
The vampire’s claws pierce Tia’s abdomen, who desperately uses her body as a shield to protect her daughter desperately as a mother.
“Not… Hey hey hey hey!”
It flowed slowly like a slow movie in Cha Hanseong’s field of vision.
Ju-hong heard Cha Han-seong’s cry close to screaming.
The moment he stopped dozens of vampires by himself, his screams made him realize that the worst he expected had happened.
“Ahhhhh! Really!”
He had no choice but to bring out the method he had saved until the very end, which he never wanted to use.
Ju-hong infused magic into his bracelet.
The bracelet was an artifact given to her by Eun-hyeon in preparation for her emergency.
-Use this in case of danger.
-Huh. Okay. Brother.
-Should I use it? Don’t forget it or anything like that.
-Ah! I can do it on my own now! Why are you making such a fuss!
“I really didn’t want to use this because it was embarrassing… !”
Ju-hong shouted into the bracelet, thinking that it was confirmed that Eun-hyeon would nag him.
“Brother! Help me!”
[…]
Ju-hong did not know that Eun-hyeon had been enjoying a week-long vacation in the elven forest with Eleanor.
From the scarlet bracelet that began to hold silver light, Eun-hyeon’s timid voice was heard.
[Why… Of course now… ?]
