As the light from the street lamps that illuminated the alley disappeared, darkness fell.

Even the vampire’s eyes that could see through the darkness couldn’t follow Hanzo’s figure.

“Where did you disappear to!”

The vampire waved his hand randomly.

The mana on his hand shot out sharply, causing the wall to collapse and dust to fly.

squeak-

Responding to the sound he heard, he swung his fist, but his fist only cut through the air.

I put my hand to the feeling of something running down my throat.

Dark blue blood flowed from a small wound in his neck.

“Such a wound… .”

Considering the vampire’s powerful recovery ability, such a small wound will heal in the blink of an eye.

Think about it for a while.

The wound in his neck didn’t even think about stopping it, and he was bleeding continuously.

“What is this… .”

In an instant, the vampire began to feel eerie.

It wasn’t that it didn’t heal at all.

Slowly, the wound was reducing its size.

However, the speed was incredibly slow compared to before.

‘Is that the sword’s ability? Or did you use a hidden ability? Or else… .’

Although intelligence declines in a berserk state, it was possible to infer that much.

The source of a vampire’s power is blood.

So, for a vampire to bleed, it was the same as losing that much power.

‘Poison, that’s a pretty nasty guy. I hope this poison… .’

Diluted hydra poison.

The poison that had plagued Han So-yul was afflicting him this time.

He manipulated the bloodstream to release as much poison as possible into the body, but there was a limit to that as well.

His already pale face turned white.

Flash-

The light bulb on the broken power pole was restored and the light was lit again.

The vampire smelled Hanzo’s presence, to be exact, the smell of his blood.

“There!”

The vampire’s hand swung.

In the meantime, the restored wall and telephone pole collapsed.

However, the smell of blood he smelled was that of the blood soaked in the cloth hanging from the telephone pole.

The cloth that had absorbed his blood to the fullest, wrapped around the handle instead of the handle.

Pieces of cloth are torn to shreds, and once again a blinding darkness sets in.

bang- bang- bang-

He swung his fist and slammed his foot violently.

The asphalt road is crushed, debris splashes, but he can’t catch Hanzo.

‘Just the neck, this time the inside of the thigh.’

Both were areas where the aorta flowed, where even a small wound could cause massive bleeding.

It was a small wound, but the amount of blood flowing out of the body was not a negligible amount.

‘I lost too much blood. And even the poison… .’

As each wound increased, the hydra’s venom slowly ate away at his body.

His sense of smell was still fine, but his senses of sight, taste, and hearing were already halfway gone.

“Don’t hide, come out!”

I tried to make a fuss at this, but it was impossible for Hanzo to reveal himself after being hit by a blind attack.

Rather, every time he showed a small gap, the small wounds increased.

And at some point, Hanzo’s attack suddenly stopped.

‘Did you notice that I was deliberately revealing a gap?’

The vampire deliberately exposed an opening in order to lure Hanzo into attacking.

I was planning to counterattack by launching a wide-range attack in time for his attack.

“… … .”

The darkness that lingers in stillness is just staring at him.

There were no more attacks from Hanzo.

‘Where are you hiding? Why can’t I see it?’

Unlike humans, vampire eyes could see through darkness.

It was a necessary skill for a vampire who couldn’t walk in the sun.

That’s why the darkness was the vampire’s greatest companion and ally.

‘The darkness feels strange.’

However, he began to feel the darkness that he could not see with his eyes, tightening his heart.

The darkness he knew was not so frightening.

He was feeling the fear of the sensation of everyday life turning into extraordinary.

pounding- pounding-

The unfamiliar feeling of beating my heart multiplied these feelings.

Heart beat was disturbed.

Darkness was not an ally to him now.

Flash-

The telephone pole, which had been broken in the meantime, was restored again.

The lights come on, and the darkness recedes for a moment.

The faint smell of Hanzo’s blood that could be traced came from the cloth he used as bait.

But there was one more thing that caught his senses.

‘It’s finally revealed.’

The vampire pulled out all his magical energy and wrapped it around his ten fingers.

Without using a single drop of blood, he raised his sword with pure magical energy.

With the thought of slashing him with his strangely hard sword, he struck a blow.

But.

“You’ve changed a lot since then.”

There was a child’s voice.

“Not only did I look uglier than before, but my hair also got a little worse.”

Then came the voice of a young man.

Ten lines of sword energy could not penetrate the wall made by Eleanor and disappeared.

The vampire couldn’t help but stutter at the sight of her, who shouldn’t be here.

“Uh, how… .”

“It broke and came out. It would have taken a little longer without this child’s help.”

The moment the vampire felt that Hanzo’s attack had subsided.

Hanzo exited the alley and ran toward the orb that was imprisoning Eleanor.

and swung the sword

The seal that imprisoned her was also made with blood.

For Yodo, who was greedy for blood, it was nothing more than desirable food.

“Kuaa!”

The vampire charged at Hanzo.

The moment Eleanor came out of it, the plan already failed.

However, at least one of the Hanzo who interfered with his plan was an act he had done with the thought of making him a road companion.

“I said I would do it myself. Try it.”

“Instead, I would like to ask for your support.”

“OK. Of course, if I don’t want to do it, I’ll step in myself.”

“That won’t happen.”

A magic circle resembling a constellation rose above Hanzo’s sword, which had turned black due to the darkness.

Each of the dozens of constellations that appeared was an independent enchantment magic.

And the magic that produced formidable power with just one was organically connected.

Magical power that swirls over the sword.

Hanzo’s hair fluttered in the fierce storm.

‘If this is the case, the power is more than enough.’

However, no matter how powerful a weapon is, it is meaningless if the person who wields it has a low level.

Hanzo was well aware of this.

He gently closed his eyes and gathered the remaining mana into one place.

“die!!”

The movement of the vampire, who was ready to die, was faster than ever.

It was a speed that even Hanzo, who strengthened his body to the limit using mana, could not catch up with.

“I told you, your movements are obvious.”

Hanzo squeezed out his remaining concentration and accelerated his thinking.

Two streams of blood flowed from his nose, but he didn’t care.

‘see.’

Hanzo read the vampire’s movements and moved first.

And as he expected, the vampire moved.

“… … !”

The broken, blunt tip of the sword tore through the vampire’s chest.

It didn’t stop at tearing through the chest, but cut open the blue heart that was beating wildly inside it.

The vampire opened his mouth while looking somewhere far away.

“My king… .”

The words were not completed, and were scattered as powder.

* * *

It is said that tigers leave their skins when they die, but vampires leave behind only ashes when they die, just like the last time.

Of course, that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything left.

“Cool.”

Perhaps because he thought it was over, blood flowed non-stop from his mouth.

The vampire left me with not only ashes, but also deep scars.

“Are you okay? You should have left it to me.”

“It’s a bit like leaving the finishing touches to someone else.”

“Let’s go back to the studio for now. It’s not a wound that will heal just by eating one of them.”

Right after helping her escape, though, I received and drank the recovery medicine.

It wasn’t enough to completely cure it.

Mana, as well as the concentration consumed for Acceleration of Acceleration, were running out.

I jokingly spoke to Eleanor.

“I think I will die.”

“Don’t worry. As long as I’m in front of you, even if I die, I’ll somehow bring you back to life.”

For some reason, when she said it, it didn’t sound like an exaggeration or a lie.

“no. You can’t die. Go back and recover… .”

Oh, that’s the limit too.

Eyelids are heavy.

And more than that, my body is so heavy.

sour-

I managed to hold on to the string of consciousness that was about to break due to the tingling pain in my thumb.

<Crisis Detection> has been activated.

‘Damn it, did you pay it yourself?’

A man appeared on the ashes of the vampire viscount I had defeated.

Even just existing in the same space, a clear sign of death entangled my body.

Even though there was obviously a considerable distance, I had a clear hunch that my neck would fall with just one gesture.

‘Even if the throne is taken away, the king is still the king. Even with a fatal wound, this much?’

He is the leader of the vampires who are targeting Han So-yul and Eleanor.

The Vampire King before his throne was usurped and his heart, the source of his power, was torn in half.

Vlad Dracoulia.

“You lost a precious subordinate.”

The man who was the king of vampires monologued.

My body trembles at the coolness mixed with those words regardless of my intentions.

I knew the strength after putting my torn heart back together and recovering.

I didn’t expect it to be this strong even with fatal injuries.

‘I thought it would be possible to organize it on Eleanor’s line, since it doesn’t come from the front, and it’s a manual operation.’

This is unexpected.

The vampire in front of her is stronger than Eleanor.

It would be possible to defeat her with at least three more powerful people of a similar level or higher than her.

And that fact, Eleanor herself would know best.

“It’s your guy. It was aimed at me and my disciple.”

Eleanor’s face was pale.

There was no way that a person of her level could not have judged the difference in skill that existed between herself and the vampire in front of her.

“alchemist.”

“Why, vampire.”

“Let’s make a deal.”

“deal… ? Do you think I’ll take your deal?”

The words were a transaction, it was no different from a threat.

It would be strange for Eleanor to accept such a deal.

However, maintaining that naturalness is not easy in this world.

“I think you need a little persuasion.”

The vampire king’s hand swung.

Dark red magic roared around, and the sound of something falling was heard.

Took-

A beat later, I noticed that my right arm was rolling on the floor.

“Aww!”

“Cut out your emotions.”

The pain cut off a beat late.

The color of the blood flowing from the cross section of the severed arm was red.

I bit my molars hard, swallowed my screams, and pressed the affected area with my left arm to stop the bleeding.

However, the blood did not intend to stop.

“You bastard!”

“Do I still need persuasion?”

The other arm this time?

Or a leg?

maybe it’s the head

I feel again that being weak in the world of this novel is a very sad thing.

But I have no intention of letting it go smoothly.

It’s an enemy that I can’t do anything about as I am now, but if that’s the case, I just call someone to fight for me.

‘I want you to come quickly.’

I put my left hand, which had become wet from bleeding, into my bosom.

I exploded the remaining mana in an instant and crushed the metal plate.

‘Principal Chul Kim.’

The metal plate I just crushed is the letter of introduction I received from Principal Chul Kim.

His seal is engraved on the outside, but more important than that is his magical power contained in the letter of introduction.

‘Because the magic contained in the letter of introduction must have informed me that the letter of introduction he gave me was broken.’

Principal Kim Chul must have noticed my crisis, and by now, he should have traced back his magical powers to find my location.

He’ll use space magic to appear here soon.

‘I don’t know if I can hold out until then.’

How can you hold on to your mind with <Relentless Vitality>?

This is now the limit.

Due to blood loss and mana depletion, consciousness is getting farther and farther away.

Eleanor’s voice is heard in the receding consciousness.

“… What do you want?”

Eleanor’s eyes, reflected in the pool of blood, were looking at my severed arm.

It’s like having your limbs cut off.

If it’s not too late, you can attach it enough.

If it was an alchemist’s workshop, not anywhere else, it would be possible to attach the severed arm without leaving any scars.

But this is a story if I can hold on until then.

“As long as you give me the Elixir, don’t back down.”

“… If I just hand it over, will you back off?”

Elixir.

A promise that there is no disease that cannot be cured.

He must have needed an elixir to fix his broken heart.

“Because of that… don’t pass Instead, you will have to keep what you said once.”

“Sure.”

Eleanor rummaged through her pocket and pulled out a potion.

The glass bottle itself was not much different from a normal glass bottle, but the contents inside it.

Even I, who was unfamiliar with alchemy and pharmacology, knew that the golden liquid was an elixir.

“It’s genuine.”

“Your liver isn’t big enough to pull out fakes in this situation.”

The distance between the two narrows.

iron-

Stepping over a puddle of my blood, Eleanor stepped forward.

And when the distance between the two is one step left.

“Who are you?”

With a deep voice, Principal Kim Cheol appeared.

come.
