43. Terrible loneliness and emptiness

There are several types of vampires that appear in the dungeon, but among them, there are monsters belonging to the higher level. His name is Dertod.

The scary thing about Dertod is that it is a vampire-type monster and possesses human-level intelligence. It absorbs human blood, knows how to use that energy, and knows how to fight intelligently.

So basically, when Dertod appears, you should focus your firepower as early as possible and try to subdue it quickly.

This is because the longer Tertood’s subjugation time increases, the more people die from him, and the more he uses the energy of the dead, the more disadvantageous he becomes in long-term battles.

Of course, since Dertod is a monster that only appears in Black Gate, there is no way that the students were aware of this.

– boo boo

– Parrrrr

“Pooh-!”

Dertod pierced another man with explosive water, absorbing it.

“I can feel the taste of fresh blood. How long have you been a predation?”

Dertod savored and savored the blood he had absorbed while shaking his body.

“Papa… run away quickly!”

“Everyone shut up! I mean Vicky!”

Many of the students of Helmund Academy start running away in a hurry. Dertod laughed and shouted.

“You foolish people. Do you think you can survive just by running away from my eyes for a while? Anyway, the dungeon here won’t open until you catch me. In other words, I don’t know how long it will take, but in the end you will all die.”

At that moment, Dertod felt a single gaze.

‘what?’

A chilling sensation that pierces the heart. I felt an uncomfortable and sticky gaze. Looking in that direction, a girl with a small body was standing there.

“You are a bad person. Do you want to die first?”

What Dertod was looking at was Park Hye-yeon.

she replied

“It’s disgusting. Do you like to hurt others?”

Park Hye-yeon’s cold words. Dertod replied sarcastically.

“Of course, it is always exhilarating to crush the weak. In the first place, aren’t humans different from our vampires as a species? The superior species dominates and preys on the inferior species. This is a natural action that all living things have been doing since the earth was created.”

He put his tentacles in and trudged to Park Hye-yeon.

“What makes you human? You, too, prey on weaker individuals, and you have a filthy duality in the subject you covet.”

Park Hye-yeon prepared for battle as if she didn’t need any more words.

“Huh… Human, isn’t it scary? Can’t you feel it too? What is the difference between you and me? Although it is said that I just resurrected, I have absorbed several people and my stats have increased.”

“I can’t say it’s in the best condition, but it’s nothing to tear a human wizard to death.”

As Dertod parted his lips, Hyeyeon Park memorized a spell.

[absorption]

After using the absorption skill, the [SS] mana-sensitive crystal ball that Choi Joo-won gave to Park Hye-yeon started to glow in her arms.

Thanks to this mana-sensitive crystal ball, even with Park Hye-yeon’s ability, who has not yet fully mastered external mana, she was able to skillfully use external mana through absorption, rotation, and discharge.

“Hey… did the way humans use mana change while I was asleep?”

At a glance, Dertod recognized that Park Hye-yeon’s atmosphere was not serious, and started preparing for battle himself.

‘There’s a human next to the cave.’

Dertod quickly scanned the surrounding terrain, giving a rough idea of where people were hiding. This was because it was possible to quickly vampire humans when taking damage.

To Dertod, humans are moving potions and lunch boxes. It was nothing more and nothing less.

[Release]

In an instant, Park Hye-yeon’s mana was concentrated and flew away.

Derdot smiled and stretched out his hand.

“Fop. Did you think you could kill me with an attack like this? you stupid human It’s not easy.”

The moment when Dertod tries to defend Park Hye-yeon’s mana.

Mana twisted like a snake and slammed into his face.

-Kwaang-!

Smoke rising with a dull sound.

“Did you… get rid of it?”

The disciples of the masked instructor who were waiting to assist in the event of a crisis.

Seo Chan-woo, Im Se-ah, Min Da-yun, and Kang Eun-byeol all held their breaths and looked at the scene.

-Push ee!

But, of course, there was no way that a high-ranking vampire would die in one such attack.

“Ah… I’ve been annoyed for a long time.”

“I was going to play with it slowly… I’ll just kill them all.”

-Paah

In an instant, the tentacles from his back began to spread out in all directions.

***

Joo-won Choi outside the dungeon. He stared blankly at the sky.

‘Because I just entered the dungeon. Will it take some time to clear? It’s probably a double dungeon this time, so the space will be bigger…’

Just as I was thinking about it, Yang Han-gil, who was next to me, spoke to me.

“Are you going to keep dying here? I don’t want to see you face to face, so why don’t you just go somewhere else?”

I replied looking at both sides of the road.

“Don’t fuss, I’ll take care of it. You’ve been arguing ever since, and if you keep doing that, I won’t be able to stand still. Or would you like me to crush you from that snout?”

Yang Han-gil flinched and answered calmly.

“Well, I wasn’t arguing. I’m sorry if you made me feel bad.”

I looked at him and thought.

‘You asshole.’

pathetic. He lowered his tail when he looked a little stronger than him, and he seemed very pathetic as he tried to keep his pride while lowering his tail. I didn’t even understand why I was kicked out, and why such an idiot came into my place.

‘What would have happened if I hadn’t been kicked out.’

Suddenly, a thought occurred to me. If I hadn’t been framed and kicked out. No, even if I was framed, if there was someone who believed in me. What if it were?

‘It’s all in vain.’

The years of teaching as a lecturer, and the years with the students who had many connections, were cut off in one day. And now I’m just wandering around wearing a mask like a clown.

‘lonely.’

Suddenly, a thought occurred to me. A situation in which I cannot reveal who I am. I felt deep loneliness and loneliness in a miserable situation where I was abandoned by everyone.

– tyring

Then, the phone notification rang.

– Where are you, Joo Won?

‘It’s Seol Eun-ah.’

The guild leader of the high-ranking guild Lutter. A woman who saved my life in the past, and a person who has supported me with many things that I needed during my promotions until now.

‘okay. There are still people by my side.’

There are not as many people as there used to be, but someone who unconditionally believes in me and helps me. I had at least one such person.

‘I don’t know if it’s because of the fact that I saved my life, or if it’s because of some other meaning.’

Anyway, someone who acts for me even if I do nothing. It was comforting to know that I had such a person.

– Where are you, Joo Won? I have a question

I stared at Seol Eun-ah’s text message for a long time before sending a reply.

– What’s going on?

***

Seol Eun-ah’s house. She sat on the sofa and pondered for a long time to reply.

– What’s going on?

‘Ugh… how the hell am I supposed to reply?’

The reason she contacted Choi Joo-won was not because she had any other purpose, but because she wanted to see him.

‘You seem to be having a hard time these days…’

When she saw Choi Joo-won for the last time, she suddenly remembered his worried expression and was full of worry.

‘Recently, you’ve been abused again by nurturing new disciples…’

Joo-Won Choi works as a mask instructor, and from the moment he receives a new student, he spends every day with them. Thanks to that, I couldn’t even meet Seol Eun-ah.

‘Would it be a while?’

I want to see your face for a moment. I want to meet face-to-face and share even a short conversation. Seol Eun-ah thought so.

– I said after a while, would you like to meet me if possible? You seem to be having a hard time these days… You seem to be busy nurturing new disciples these days. So I don’t think I’ve seen you very well lately… and I miss you again…

Seol Eun-ah tried to send a text message but deleted everything.

‘Are you trying to be too explicit to say you miss me? You might feel embarrassed…’

Then, she sent a short message.

– If possible, would you like to meet for a moment? If you’re busy, I’ll go to Joo Won’s place. I don’t think it’s a text message.

there’s nothing to talk about But the reason she sent this message was that if I asked to see her for no reason, she felt like she would be rejected.

‘When we meet, I have to tell you that I have something to say about NATUBE.’

‘Uh… are you too aggressive? Did I just say I was going to go by myself?’

She lay down and kicked the blanket, eagerly waiting for a reply.

And not long after, another text arrived. The high-level guild leader kicking the blanket in embarrassment reminded me of a young girl in puberty.

– tyring

Kudang-!

She got up hastily and fell while trying to check the message.

“Ugh…”

But even in a collapsed state, he checked his phone.

– Now that the disciples have entered the dungeon, there will be some time. But there is also a Yanghan-gil next to it, doesn’t it matter?

‘Why is there Yang Han-gil?’

For a moment she remembered the past. Yang Han-gil swearing at Choi Joo-won and treating him in a haphazard manner.

The day Choi Joo-won was kicked out of the academy. A drinking party created by Yang Han-gil and Choi Joo-won.

There, thanks to Yang Han-gil, Seol Eun-ah was able to meet Choi Joo-won again. But apart from that, seeing Yang Han-gil’s ugly behavior that day, he stopped losing his mind and was not pretending to know. In the first place, I met Yang Han-gil a few times for business reasons, so it was not difficult to stop losing.

‘Uh… I don’t want to see such a lowly human again…’

‘But… because there’s Joo Won.’

She imagined Choi Joo-won to see after a long time.

‘I want Joo Won to look pretty…’

Seol Eun-ah looked around her face and smiled.

***

In front of the gate where Joo-won Choi and Han-gil Yang are located.

– easy profit

A huge sound began to be heard, and the gate began to turn dark.

“f*ck… what is this?”

Yang Han-gil looked at the gate with blank eyes.

I also looked at the gate. Magi began to gather, and the entrance was completely blocked in an instant.

‘It’s f*cked up.’

My head was dizzy. A situation I was familiar with. The place where Seol Eun-ah almost died in the past.

black gate.

In fact, in a situation where all the disciples entered. A black gate phenomenon has occurred.
