Chapter 851 – 851. True Blood (3)
Among the forces scattered in four directions centered on the central square of the territory, the group that could be evaluated as the relatively weakest was the group of Artia Knights and the vermilion side.
The Dominus doll troop commanded by Emilia, the white demons of Erin, and the west and south, where Ash is rampaging, are in a state of being put in order.
It wasn’t that the individual’s combat power was superior to that of Hundred Ghosts or Ash, nor was it that Emilia’s command made full use of elaborate and meticulous coordination and teamwork.
I couldn’t even compare it to the two of them, Eunhyeon and Erin, who acted alone in the north.
It wasn’t that the Artia Knights or the vermillion force was weak, but perhaps it was because they were so formidable that they were compared, so the sweep of the east they were in charge of was relatively slow.
“… Strange.”
“What are you talking about?”
After dealing with another vampire, Delia tilted her head and asked Ju-hong, who was making a puzzled expression.
The other knights also turned their heads and looked at the scarlet.
“The number of vampires is too small.”
“Yes?”
“… What do you mean?”
Not only Delia, but the other knights also showed a bewildered reaction as if they did not understand properly.
“No. What do you mean? How many vampires have you dealt with so far?”
Even at a rough estimate, the number of knights and vampires that Juhong had defeated so far exceeded dozens.
The members did not understand Ju-hong’s idea of expressing this as too little.
But before long, one of the knights nodded his head with a heavy expression and chewed on the vermilion’s words.
“Indeed… It’s definitely strange.”
It seemed that Aira was the only one who seemed to understand Juhong’s words.
“Do you understand what I mean, senior?”
“You first heard about it from Eunhyun. At least thousands are hiding. However, compared to the number of thousands initially assumed, tens is not a big deal.”
“Uh… Is it like that?”
As if Delia didn’t understand, she still tilted her head.
“Wouldn’t it be nice if there were fewer vampires to deal with? Is it something to worry about so much?”
“Little is good. Because we are comfortable too. But I’m strangely taken aback…”
The fact that the number was smaller than expected was a variable that could be.
But isn’t it a matter that no one knows yet whether that variable will work for them in a good way or a bad thing?
“He… Could it be that you misunderstood?”
“He? Whoops. There is no more chance of that.”
That was an absurd story.
Did Eun-hyeon mistakenly misunderstand the number of enemies?
Rather, the story that the kingdom of Pernias was destroyed seemed more credible.
At least that’s what Eira thought.
The reason why he can spit such words out of her mouth without thinking about it is because he is an ignorant new knight who does not know much about rumors about Eun-hyeon.
“Ooh, hey. Don’t go anywhere and say such dangerous things. Especially where his wives are.”
“… ?”
The senior engineer shuddered as if just imagining it, and the new engineer responded that he had no idea why.
In fact, this was the first time he had ever met a man named Eunhyun in person.
I could have heard many stories about him from the rumors I heard, but I was dubious because the rumors were all absurd stories.
He is a great swordsman who is comparable to, and perhaps even stronger than Rio de Olivion, the leader of the knights he owns.
And the husband of a witch reputed to be the daughter of the Duke of Armitas, the next saint, and the most powerful wizard on the continent.
Rumor has it that such a man does not exercise any position or power and insists on living quietly.
He was an enigmatic man in many ways.
“Is he that great?”
The new engineer doesn’t know much about the man named Eun-hyeon.
So, I couldn’t understand why many senior knights, including Eira, trusted Eunhyeon so completely.
Even that Riod Olivion, the leader of the Artia Knights, to which he belonged.
In fact, the reason why six knights, including himself, came out to apply like this was because his wife, Erin, came to the knights and asked for support.
Of course, the background of this support was established when Erin provided a blackout to the Artia Knights, who were looking for a way to send support to Cha Han-seong in a hurry.
However, the new article, who was only at the bottom, did not know the details of the inside story.
“What. Didn’t you hear anything?”
“No. I did listen… Actually, it’s the first time I’ve seen him in person, so I’m not sure. Are you really a great person? .”
“Well, you will understand that naturally as time goes by…” . Don’t tease though. Especially in front of that lady.”
The ‘lady’ that the senior engineer referred to was referring to Erin.
In fact, Erin is very sensitive thanks to her ability to read other people’s emotions.
She and her husband, Eun-hyeon, whom she loves, are madly devoted to her.
It was up to the individual to decide whether the new knight had respect or dislike for Eun-hyeon, but it was clear what Erin would do after reading his feelings.
Aira glanced at the scarlet eyes.
It wasn’t gossip, but he must have heard the rookie knight’s gossip about Eun-hyeon, but Ju-hong was not paying attention to the story, observing the surroundings.
She said, ‘I heard it was his sister…’
Is it okay?
Eira tilted her head, but she soon had to put the question aside.
“… !”
It was because Ju-hong, who suddenly turned her head and looked at Eira, shouted with an urgent expression.
“… Behind!”
The scarlet animal ears that sensed the enemy made their fur stand on end.
The beastman’s ears, which have more sensitive senses than humans, sensed the enemy’s footsteps in the quiet darkness.
And the members who heard the cry of vermilion reflexively pulled out their swords from their waists.
The first to react was Eira.
She kicked off the ground and the sound of her run grew louder, and by the time she turned her body in that direction, she had already accelerated to full speed and had leaped to the point where she was right in front of the new knight.
“… What!?”
The sight of a vampire leaping into the air right in front of her eyes and sticking out her teeth to bite her throat.
The new knight groaned involuntarily and hesitated.
It was good that he reacted quickly and pulled out his sword, but he had no choice but to blame his lack of experience for being forced to hesitate unknowingly at the killing spree that threatened his life and the spirit emanating from his grotesque appearance.
“Dangerous!”
Eira, who was closest to her, grabbed the hesitant new knight by her shoulders and pulled her towards herself.
Instead of the rookie knight who was dragged back by her power, the vampire’s teeth cut through the air.
Kreuk!
As soon as the vampire landed on the ground, roaring as if spitting out a beast’s cry, she bent over and took another leap.
In an instant, Eira swung her sword at the vampire who was closing her distance again.
Caang!
Her vampire opened her mouth and Ayra caught the blade of her sword as she swung it.
“Oh… !?”
Contrary to Eira’s expectations, who knew she would choose to evade or defend, her vampire flew straight ahead without stopping, biting her blade with her teeth.
The vibration of her trembling sword was transmitted to her arm of her aira, who was holding her handle, to her astonishment.
“What power… !”
The vampire’s teeth scraping her blade with a rattling sound were ready to chew Eira’s blade at any moment.
The strength of her jaw is incredibly strong.
Eira felt embarrassed by the attack method and power that was quite different from the vampires she had dealt with so far.
A brief moment in which a war of nerves between her and her bloodsuckers is raging, a power battle that cannot be backed down from each other.
Others were also playing, but not.
The senior knight and vermilion immediately ran and surrounded the vampire on both sides.
The blade striking from the top down and the fist striking from the bottom up hit the vampire’s body at the same time.
Kaaang!
“… ?!”
Even though the attack was direct, the unexpected reaction and damage caused scarlet and senior knights to be astonished for a while.
When the power struggle that had been held by the two of them disappeared, Eira moved.
She pulled the sword from the vampire’s mouth and cut her vampire’s head from side to side with a neat bell slash.
Kreuk!
But even so, the vampire did not die.
Rather, the vampire’s head, which had been split in two by Eira’s sword attack, was put back together as if nothing had happened.
Before being attacked by her, the vampire reverted to her original form and lunged at Eira, baring her teeth again.
She thought she had completely cut her head and cut off her breath, but she swung her sword again with the vampire restored with an unexpected and overwhelming regenerative power in front of her.
Kaaang!
Eira’s blade bounced off as if it couldn’t do any damage.
Even the bouncing sound is as heavy as if it had been struck with iron.
Compared to the vampires I’ve dealt with so far, strength, speed, skin’s defense, everything is far superior.
‘This… !’
The vampire, who carelessly rushes forward to bite herself, is like a beast devouring her prey.
When his instincts warned him of the danger that he would allow the vampires to attack him if he continued like this.
It was Juhong who saved Eira.
After the first attack, without stopping, Juhong hit the side of the vampire’s face with an additional blow.
[Juhyeonseong Polar Plain]
[Crushing Strike]
From her lower body, which was firmly rooted, twisting her waist and putting strength into it, it was transmitted intact to her fist and released.
Kwajik!
As the scarlet fist hit the vampire’s cheek, it shattered his bones, twisted his neck, and blew him away.
The vampire’s body, which had rushed towards Ayla, couldn’t overcome the shock and flew through the sky, crashing into her wall.
Even though he was able to deliver effective hits, Juhong’s expression was not a happy response to those hits.
The sensation in his hand was real.
Perhaps the jawbone was shattered and the neck twisted.
But even so, I didn’t feel like ‘I killed it’.
“… What is so hard?”
Originally, if it were another vampire, her face would explode as soon as she was hit by this attack of vermilion, and her form would not remain.
In fact, the vampires she had dealt with so far could not withstand her attacks.
But even though the vampire she just flew away from took her damage, she didn’t die.
As Eira felt, her strength and speed, as well as her body’s durability and defense, were on a different level from the vampires she had dealt with so far.
She wasn’t a vampire belonging to that lower realm.
At least the middle level, the level of the middle level that has begun to cross the upper level.
“… Tsk. What happened?”
The vampire who took control of the city and was at the head of her, pursued her and Cha Han-seong, but Eun-hyeon had already dealt with it.
There couldn’t have been a vampire stronger than she was in this Viscounty of Brolton.
“… Was there an accomplice?”
It was a story with a possibility, but it wouldn’t be strange to say that it was almost non-existent.
Ju-hong put her complicated thoughts behind her and shifted her gaze to Eira.
“Are you okay?”
“Ah yes. Thank you.”
“With something like that… Than that…”
Ju-hong stared at the place where the vampire he had blew away was.
The vampire who appeared in the harsh dust wind was glaring at Scarlet and Eira and growling.
The vampire raised her body.
Seeing this, Juhong frowned.
“… Did you stand up?”
When the vampire first attacked her, it took the form of bipedalism, standing on her feet and standing on her feet, unlike the time when she galloped like a mad wild dog.
“Human… Eat.”
A boiling, unpleasant voice flowed through the vampire’s vocal cords and out of her mouth.
