Chapter 231 – Chapter 11 – Navigation
[I think I can narrow it down to this for now. I don’t know much about this world, but that’s the same for him. If I know him, he would probably have taken up residence in one of these places.]
Socheon, who had been marking this and that on the map as the saint said, got up and there were three places on the map with numerous traces and large circle marks.
[There’s a saying that says don’t put all your eggs in one basket. He probably didn’t put all his power in one place, but in the end, there was bound to be a base where he would normally stay. His resurrection ritual can also be left to his subordinates to some extent, but it will not be able to proceed properly without him, so he will be preparing at the place where he usually stays.]
“So is that damn bitch in one of those three places?”
[Maybe. Due to his personality, he will definitely find a home in one of them. Even if it doesn’t, I’m sure there will be at least one base… No, but wait a minute. Year?]
“…? Yes. It’s a bitch, not a guy.”
[… Yes?]
The saint looked embarrassed after hearing Yeo So-cheon’s words.
‘Why are you surprised?’
I don’t think the saint was embarrassed because Yeo So-cheon swore a little.
You probably already know that despite her young appearance, she tends to use profanity.
[No. That. Woman.? Not a man?]
“… She was a woman?”
[Even though vampires are basically men, they tend to be pretty, so they may have looked like women.]
“No, she was just a woman? She had long hair, a uvula, and no breasts, but she also had a thin waist.”
[… What is it?]
I’m not sure, but it seemed like there was a problem with the Vampire Lord’s gender.
If you listen to what she says, the saintess knows the vampire lord as a man, but when Yeo So-cheon saw him, he looked like a woman.
[Hmm. Well, maybe there was a change of heart after crossing the dimension. They are beings born from death and rejected from life in the first place. Since there is no such thing as a fixed gender, it wouldn’t be surprising if they changed their appearance. He may have changed his gender with the mindset of making a new start in a different world.]
“… There is no fixed gender?”
[Ultimately, gender is a distinction between living beings that exist for sexual reproduction. There can be no obligation for someone born from the dead to reproduce.]
It’s not some kind of marine creature, it’s a being that doesn’t have a fixed gender and can change at will.
They say there are all kinds of strange creatures like that.
… Did you say it wasn’t even a living thing in the first place?
[By the way, if you do this, you should consider the possibility that it might change its appearance and run away. For a subject that is not even a living thing, his obsession with survival is incredible. Although he has a strong sense of pride, he will do whatever it takes to escape if necessary. Even if all the other vampires are sacrificed, as long as that one vampire is alive, they can eventually rise again, and on the other hand, if they stop catching them, it is impossible for them to make a comeback even if all the other vampires are alive.]
“… I will never miss it. It’s an opportunity I barely caught, but I won’t let you run away from it, so don’t worry.”
[Well. That seems difficult.]
The saint gave a negative opinion to Yeo So-cheon’s words full of determination.
[I’m not ignoring you, but as a senior who has already experienced him, I hope you don’t look down on his obsession for survival. It’s not just about grabbing someone and cutting off their head. They probably played a trick on my soul here too. Unless you find and destroy all the souls that have been broken into dozens of pieces, you can’t get rid of him for sure. Of course, the fragmented souls would have been scattered here and there. Are you really sure you can get rid of him?]
“… If you burn all the connected souls at once with the ultimate blow…”
[If that were possible, it wouldn’t have taken us so long to catch him.]
“…”
Yeo Socheon bit her lip after hearing the saint’s words.
It seemed like I had a clue to their home base, but missing him was worse than not going at all.
The situation could get worse because the vampire lord who succeeded in surviving would seep into even deeper places, and then it would not be as easy to find as it is now.
“Then, if you slowly find each piece of his soul and kill it…”
[That would take too long. Even I can’t guess where the soul fragment is hidden. And there is no way his body would not notice that the soul fragment is disappearing.]
“… Then what should we do.”
[Oh, that’s why I’m here.}
Just as Socheon was about to say something to the saint who kept sending only negative comments, the saint pointed at herself with her finger.
[If I can subdue him and bring me in front of him, I can surely destroy any remaining soul fragments. There is a magic dedicated to Great Warstein created by all kinds of talented people, including wizards, scholars, shamans, and priests, who are said to be powerful in the Mage Tower and the Holy Kingdom, just to kill him. Actually, we didn’t see much efficiency because we finished it too late.]
“… How do I get you in front of him?”
[Well. The only one I have a channel connected to is the hero. So I have to take the hero to him.]
“Don’t talk nonsense!!”
-Surprise!
Yeo So-cheon screamed so loudly that even I, who was listening, was shocked.
“How dangerous is that place? You’re taking this weak man there? Are you crazy? If he does that, and he gets taken hostage, you’ll take responsibility?!”
“Uh.”
Thank you for your concern.
I’m told that I’m weak, so I guess…
“It’s good if you’re only taken hostage, but what if you get hurt or die? In this world, there’s no magic elixir that can revive people who are on the verge of death like you. How can you bring a man like this to a place where a lot of vampires are gathered…”
[Then you just missed it. I’m telling you just in case you don’t know, but subduing him and dragging him to me won’t work. Because while you’re being dragged in, that cockroach-like person will do something.]
“… Tsk.”
“… You just have to take me there.”
“No. I knew how dangerous it would be there.”
“But if I don’t go, the chance of missing out increases greatly, right.? Then I’ll be one step closer to destruction.”
“Ugh.”
After hearing my words, Yeo So-cheon was deeply troubled.
It’s not that I want to walk into such a dangerous place on my own, but they say no if it’s not me.
‘… I have to trust that they will protect me well.’
If I were to go, Yeo So-cheon, Geomhu, and Master would all go, but no matter how dangerous the place was, there were that many people there, and I didn’t feel like I was going to die by being stabbed blindly.
Still, as Socheon continued to worry, her saintess opened her mouth again with a cautious expression.
[Hmm… Then there is a way. If you temporarily transfer the channel from the warrior to someone else, you can do it through that person as well.]
“. Please tell me that quickly.”
[But then I have to stay away from the hero! This is a huge determination on my part?! Watching the warrior is the only joy in my life…]
“It’ll only take a moment. We’ll leave as soon as we’re ready, so it won’t take a few days, but you can’t hold on for that long, can you?”
[… Don’t think lightly of the meaning the warrior has for me. Because it’s much more important than you think.]
… I just felt like the saintess’s mood had changed for a moment. Is it because of her mood?
Well, anyway, you can use that method.
“Then change the channel to Yeo So-cheon.”
[Ah. This person can’t do it. Since my body is filled with the energy of another god, if I try to open the channel, there will be resistance. You have to have someone else do it.]
“…”
It’s quite tricky.
After hearing the saint’s words, Yeo So-cheon looked at Geomhu and her teacher, and both of them had already understood the situation to what extent they had understood the saint’s words.
“So you’re saying that the channel… Should be transferred to me or one of these guys?”
“… I think so.”
“What happens when you move it?”
[Nothing is wrong. The store window is the exclusive property of the warrior, so even if I move it, it doesn’t mean that other people can use it, and it won’t have any effect on the person concerned except for being able to talk to me in their minds.]
“Hoo.”
The teacher looked interested in what the saint said.
… Come to think of it, I think her curiosity sparked when she saw the saint earlier.
“Then let’s transfer it to me. I need to see how my student has been living without my knowledge.”
[… When the hero stayed in the mountains with you, it was before the channel was created, so nothing much happened. It’s only been about two years since the hero realized my existence.]
“I see. So how can I move it? Can I just stay still?”
[Uhm. Well, there’s no need for anything that grand. Even if it’s just a kiss.]
“Is it a kiss? I understand.”
Master said that and approached me.
They say all you have to do is kiss, so if you hit your lips for a moment and then pull away…
-Flash
Oh wait a minute.
Why can’t I suddenly hear my body?
-Churrrrp
“Errrr!!”
In the blink of an eye, Master’s face was right before my eyes.
-Bad, bad, bad!
The moment when my limbs, which had no place to go due to being lifted in an instant, were floundering in the air, and my mind was becoming increasingly dazed by the Master’s tongue devouring my mouth like an animal
[Okay, it’s over! It’s okay to put it down because it’s over!]
-Paha
“It’s over sooner than I thought.”
[I didn’t even tell you to mix your tongue in the first place!]
“If it’s a kiss, of course it’s included, right?”
‘… I wonder who is not a nine-tailed fox.’
I don’t know if that’s serious or a joke.
Master, you must have a very strange personality.
I will leave no comment on whether my underwear is safe or not.
