Episode 28

#Episode 28

“Could there be something that would make that many Bloodsuckers move all at once?”

“Well…”

The behavior of Bloodsuckers I’d observed so far was that they liked to nest.

They needed to create a stable blood supply source somehow.

But now the Bloodsuckers were abandoning the territory they had carefully cultivated and all heading in one direction.

There must be some reason for this.

“What’s over there…?”

When I operated the navigation system in the car, it didn’t take long to figure out the route the Bloodsuckers were taking.

“…Huh?”

“Why? Where are they going?”

The place they would pass through when drawing a straight line in the direction the Bloodsuckers were heading.

Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do.

That was where Noeikjo, one of the Four Kings of the Korean Peninsula, resided.

“It looks like they’re heading to Noeikjo’s domain.”

“Huh? They’re going to that crazy bastard?!”

At least as far as I knew, there was no variable greater than Noeikjo on that route.

‘Bloodsuckers and Noeikjo…’

Noeikjo is the most violent king on the Korean Peninsula.

He never forgives those who invade his territory, and is accompanied by massive thunderclouds all year round.

A Makyeong where powerful lightning strikes 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

And inside it, Noeikjo wielding lightning so powerful it’s blinding.

Even those prideful overseas S-rank Hunters don’t dare to present their business cards to such a creature.

Yet Bloodsuckers were gathering with that terrible Makyeong as their target.

That could only mean one thing.

“They must be planning a war.”

Noeikjo is definitely not a creature you can reason with.

Not because his intelligence is low, but because he looks down on inferior beings like insects.

Noeikjo’s domain happens to be in Gwangju, Gyeonggi.

For the Bloodsuckers who had established their base in Seoul, he would be quite a troublesome enemy in expanding their influence.

“But can they actually defeat Noeikjo?”

“That’s the thing… no matter how I look at it, it’s mass suicide.”

“But they wouldn’t just be going there to die…”

The intelligence of Bloodsuckers is by no means low.

Rather, because they were originally human, they possess intelligence on a different level from other monsters.

No, they must be gathering because they have a way to bring down Noeikjo.

Of course, the Bloodsuckers would also suffer fatal damage, but still, what kind of variable could work against Noeikjo?

“Don’t they have some tremendous power?”

“It probably isn’t that powerful.”

If they had the ability to defeat Noeikjo without any damage, Asia would have already been completely devoured by Bloodsuckers.

“Hmm…”

I wasn’t sure, but I had no intention of just watching this situation unfold.

A war between these two forces is not an opportunity that comes often.

As I was pondering how to use this opportunity, two methods came to mind.

The first was to take advantage of the gap left by the Bloodsuckers’ absence to loot their empty nest.

The second was to follow those Bloodsuckers and try to use one side against the other.

The first method would be safer, but anyway, those bastards also needed to disappear from the Korean Peninsula someday.

More than anything, my intuition was screaming that such a huge opportunity doesn’t come easily.

“Let’s quietly follow them for now.”

“Let’s do that.”

“Good!”

Kang Cheol-u quietly turned the steering wheel.

* * *

“They seem quite serious about this… The scale is considerable.”

The Bloodsuckers gathered at the amusement park site in Yongin were waiting in formation.

Judging by the countless number of Bloodsuckers gathered, they really seemed intent on finishing this.

“All of those were originally human?”

“That’s true, but… the ones gathered there probably volunteered to become Bloodsuckers.”

“What? They willingly chose to become monsters?”

“Yes, do you see the syringe marks on their chests?”

“Oh… yes.”

Looking more closely, all of their clothing had syringe marks engraved on them.

It was a pattern I hadn’t seen on the Bloodsuckers I’d encountered before.

Kang Cheol-u knew about that mark, and explained while trembling with rage.

“That’s proof of receiving a blood transfusion from a higher-ranking bloodsucker. They’re the ones who chose to become bloodsuckers themselves.”

“Huh…”

To give up being human and choose to become a monster.

Before any moral issues, doesn’t that cause revulsion?

To become a monster that sucks the blood of their own kind and even kills them.

I simply couldn’t understand it with my mind, but Jinu, who had been quietly listening beside me, clenched his arms and lowered his head.

“When humans are pushed to their limits, they become infinitely weak…”

His expression darkened as if painful memories had surfaced.

Of course, Seo Iram, who had lived at her limits from the beginning, giggled as if it was none of her business.

“Limits my ass, it’s all just excuses from weaklings!”

Jinu got fired up and argued back at Seo Iram, who crossed her arms and declared confidently.

“That’s not true!? People who have things to protect have it harder!?”

“Did anyone beg you to protect them? Acting like such a saint.”

“Wow! Our Iram even knows the word saint?”

“Noona! That’s not what’s important right now!”

Leaving the two kids bickering behind, I thought carefully.

Moving recklessly any further would create risks.

But I had no intention of just standing around watching and missing this opportunity.

Ideally, I wanted to wipe out both of them, or at least deal irreparable damage to one side.

I pondered for a moment, calmly organizing the strategies in my head.

And the first thing that came to mind above all else was.

“Cheol-u.”

“Yes.”

“About the Soul Reflection technique, what are its limits?”

Kang Cheol-u pondered my question for a moment before answering cautiously.

“To get to the point, I don’t really feel any limits.”

“Oh? Really?”

“Yes, originally I couldn’t use power that my body couldn’t handle, but now it feels like there are no such limits.”

“Hooh… That’s what I thought.”

Just as I was thinking it was a very useful card, Kang Cheol-u added.

“If I had to mention a limit, it would be dying from containing damage beyond specifications in my body.”

“So there’s no problem if we distribute it, right?”

“That’s correct.”

Soul Reflection with no limits.

Using that as a starting point, all sorts of wicked thoughts spread endlessly in my mind.

“Cheol-u.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“Would it be okay if I handle you a bit roughly?”

“Since I’ll revive even if I die, let’s give it a try.”

Kang Cheol-u also smiled wickedly.

Indeed, to deal with a madman, we need to become madmen ourselves.

* * *

In Cheonma’s domain, powerful lightning strikes rage throughout all seasons.

Not ordinary lightning, but blindingly white lightning that strikes the ground directly.

And I had positioned Kang Cheol-u precariously at the outskirts of the domain.

Even holding a steel shield to better attract lightning.

“My lord, is this right?”

“Of course.”

“Won’t I get struck by lightning this way?”

“Of course?”

“Then, won’t it hurt?”

“Of course!”

I could see Kang Cheol-u’s eyes trembling.

“My lord, explana…”

KWAAAAANG-!

As if asking how dare he wear steel armor in the domain of thunder clouds, lightning began striking like crazy.

Kang Cheol-u took the lightning with his body and steadily accumulated damage.

“Please accumulate the damage steadily!”

“Graaaaargh!”

“Wow! A portable battery!”

“Hey Iram, you shouldn’t say things like that to people.”

“Should we have changed our car to an electric one too?”

Had about 10 minutes passed?

The lightning that had been striking viciously gradually subsided.

This was because the shield Kang Cheol-u had been holding had become so tattered it was now just rags.

However, Kang Cheol-u’s armor, excluding the shield, was still shining brightly in silver.

An ordinary person would have already become charcoal, if not black ash, but he wasn’t called the Korean Peninsula’s greatest shield for nothing.

“Good work.”

“Kheugh… This new body definitely seems to be good.”

“That’s right, you look surprisingly fine?”

“Once I adapted, it wasn’t that difficult.”

“Ooh. You’ve already adapted? That’s a relief since we’ll have to do this several more times!”

“…What?”

Kang Cheol-u’s hands trembled.

“Get in the car quickly, we have a long way to go.”

For some reason, fear flickered in Kang Cheol-u’s eyes, but since he said he had adapted, it wasn’t a big problem.

“Ah, Uncle Cheol-u, static electricity!”

“It’s residual electricity.”

“Oh, my phone is charging!”

Probably.

Second Vassal O Ganghyeon.

As the high-ranking Bloodsucker assigned to this Noeikjo subjugation, his responsibility was immense.

The number of Bloodsuckers bestowed by the Patriarch was a whopping 50,000.

No matter how powerful Noeikjo was, the Bloodsuckers strengthened by consuming blood to their limits were also no easy opponents.

Moreover, they held weapons made from the blood of high-grade monsters in their hands.

With Bloodsuckers who had surpassed human limits and weapons, this was practically a free meal.

“Kheuheuheuh, it seems the Patriarch cherishes me.”

“I’m envious, to think the high Patriarch trusts you this much!”

“This is all thanks to choosing the right side early, isn’t it?”

“I will also believe and follow for life.”

This is one test bestowed by the Patriarch.

If I pass this test safely, I can receive additional transfusion of the Patriarch’s blood and dream of reaching a more powerful realm.

So in this test, I must return with as many Bloodsuckers alive as possible.

I must somehow prove my competence to the high Patriarch.

“Are the preparations almost complete?”

“You ordered us to be fully prepared, so we’re checking thoroughly.”

A smile already seems to be forming on my lips.

The detestable human days of hiding whenever I saw monsters are now over.

Now I can kill ordinary monsters with a single gesture.

This is a realm I could never have dreamed of as a mere human.

But I have no intention of being satisfied with this level of power.

I will go further, grasp stronger power, and eventually become a feudal lord in the world ruled by the Patriarch.

Though it’s still a distant future, it’s a sufficiently possible dream.

Since this task is the first declaration of war, I must complete the mission no matter what.

“There won’t be any variables beyond expectations, right?”

“Since Noeikjo itself is such a big variable, there’s nothing else particularly worth worrying about.”

“Kheuheu, that’s how it should be.”

Like this, we’ll completely devour the Korean Peninsula and then fully conquer Russia and China.

For a moment, I was drawing an ecstatic picture with dreams of Asian conquest and world domination.

Flash-!

A powerful flash burst that not only filled my vision but instantly dyed the surroundings white.

“Wh, what!?”

My expression naturally crumpled from the light so powerful it could blind me.

Something so powerful that it made my ears ring exploded among the Bloodsuckers.

The light was so powerful that securing vision wasn’t easy.

The aftermath of the explosion subsided and my vision was belatedly restored.

“This crazy…!”

“Wh, what the hell happened?!”

“Heheeek…”

A large hole had been punched through the densely gathered Bloodsuckers.

At least about 700 Bloodsuckers had all turned to ash and disappeared.

Even the Bloodsuckers who were on the outskirts of the explosion had one or two parts of their bodies electrocuted and turned black.

Including the Bloodsuckers who fell into combat incapacity, that single explosion had cost nearly 1,000 troops.

The Bloodsuckers caught in the explosion all sparked as if struck by lightning simultaneously.

This meant only one thing.

“Noeikjo noticed the invasion…?”

“How could a creature that only dwells in its territory!?”

Noeikjo’s attack had already begun.
