Episode 29
#Episode 29
“I never thought my first battle after resurrection would be terrorism.”
“Terrorism? Please call it a strategic weapon.”
“Isn’t that the same thing?”
“Or should I call you a backup battery like Iram does?”
“I think strategic weapon sounds better after all.”
The plan to give the Bloodsuckers a taste of their own medicine was simple.
Drop Kang Cheol-u, charged to the limit with Noeikjo’s lightning, into the middle of the Bloodsuckers and detonate him.
The distance I can summon at is the distance within my line of sight.
Hazy distances are impossible to summon to, only distances clearly within my sight are possible.
Of course, even that covers quite a distance, enough to quietly eliminate enemies without them knowing.
When I returned to where the Bloodsuckers were with backup battery… no, strategic weapon Kang Cheol-u, their numbers had grown even more.
The sight of dark red creatures swarming together was intimidating enough to feel overwhelming for a moment.
Thinking that those creatures would occupy the Korean Peninsula again made my blood boil with irritation.
“Mr. Kang Cheol-u, are you ready?”
“Yes, no problem.”
“Good, you can use Thunder Spirit Formation as soon as I summon you.”
“That’s all?”
“Yes, I’ll reverse summon you immediately after you use it and bring you back.”
Kang Cheol-u, who had truly become a strategic weapon, wore a gloomy expression, but it couldn’t be helped.
After all, we couldn’t engage in a frontal battle against tens of thousands of Bloodsuckers.
I reverse summoned Kang Cheol-u, then called upon Desperado.
A black scythe came into my hand as the chilling aura of death circulated through my body.
“I’ll be back, so stay hidden.”
“Got it.”
I suppressed my presence and quietly activated Death God’s Dance.
One thing I learned while using Death God’s Dance is that the more vigorous the movement, the more rapidly mana consumption increases.
With help from Kang Cheol-u and Jinu, I mastered how to walk as efficiently as possible.
I moved with the largest strides possible and reached the maximum distance within my line of sight.
‘This should be far enough to summon.’
I carefully observed the Bloodsuckers.
I wondered if there might be any special Bloodsuckers, but from what I could see with the naked eye, they all looked the same with no major differences.
‘Then I’ll just have to drop him as close to the center as possible.’
I carefully shifted my gaze and raised my hand to fix the position.
Summoning can be done easily just by manifesting mana, but this way I can drop… no, summon at a more precise location.
I held my breath and carefully manifested my mana.
With extremely fast manifestation, Kang Cheol-u appeared simultaneously.
Then with superhuman reaction speed, he unleashed Thunder Spirit Formation.
The surrounding Bloodsuckers couldn’t even perceive it before they turned to ash and disappeared.
“Whoa…”
The flash that filled my vision instantly painted the world white.
Truly transcendent electrical current explosively spread out, causing all the surrounding Bloodsuckers to burst apart.
Perhaps because it was such a high-voltage attack, only powder scattered where the high-voltage current had exploded, not even leaving corpses behind.
What was even more shocking was that Hunter Kang Cheol-u stood there with all his limbs intact.
‘The effect is incredible.’
I quickly retrieved Hunter Kang Cheol-u with reverse summoning.
Then before anyone could notice, I used Death God’s Dance to return to the car.
Kang Cheol-u, who had returned to the car, shrugged his shoulders.
“How was it? My maximum output Thunder Spirit Formation?”
“It was amazing. Let’s keep going like this.”
“Huh? Keep going like this…?”
Kang Cheol-u’s expression, which had been smiling with a sense of accomplishment from completing the mission, hardened.
“Of course, didn’t you see that black swarm gathering over there? Just once barely made a dent.”
“Ugh… Then, that again…”
“If you want, I could deal damage to you instead of lightning?”
When I pulled out Desperado from my hand, Kang Cheol-u trembled and grabbed the steering wheel.
“Let’s go to Noeikjo right now.”
“Excellent judgment.”
And so our Noeikjo terrorism began.
* * *
Second Vassal.
The wrinkles on O Ganghyeon’s brow grew deeper and deeper.
Despite changing bases several times, somehow they kept finding out, and the damned Noeikjo’s attacks kept pouring down.
“How the hell do they know where to attack!!”
When he struck the marble table, the large stone shattered into nine pieces.
The number of our forces that were defeated before even engaging in proper combat already exceeded 6,000.
Even when combined with the number of injured bloodsuckers, it totals 10,000.
To somehow gain recognition from the higher Jin-jo, we need to minimize damage, but the losses are too great even before starting.
But we can’t retreat like this either.
Return with no achievements after receiving support of 50,000 troops?
Especially with only the loss of 6,000 forces?
“No… I absolutely can’t return like this!”
If I return like this, my fate is already decided.
It’s risky, but if I at least take Noeikjo’s head and return, there would be room for excuses.
After all, he’s one of the Four Kings who ruled the Korean Peninsula, so they’ll understand this level of force loss.
Having thought that far, O Ganghyeon was already up and heading outside the barracks.
“All subordinates, listen.”
The subordinates who were tearing open blood packs were startled by the ominous atmosphere and stood up.
“We have no more time to delay, we’re going to eliminate Noeikjo right now.”
“Right now, sir?”
“But we’re not fully prepared yet…”
Slash-!
The head of the subordinate discussing preparations fell to the ground.
Blood spurted as the grotesque corpse collapsed to the ground.
“Any more problems?”
“N… No, sir.”
“Good, then prepare to march immediately.”
“…Yes!”
* * *
“My lord, the bloodsuckers have begun their march.”
“Eh? Really?”
“Yes, if it’s in that direction, it’s Gwangju in Gyeonggi Province, so it’s certain.”
“They’re marching even after taking such damage…?”
The commander must be quite stupid.
After taking this much damage against an unprecedented enemy, normally one would withdraw the troops.
“Or maybe there’s some variable, don’t you think?”
“There could be, but the question is whether it’ll work on Noeikjo.”
“True, Noeikjo is quite the monster after all.”
Anyway, that doesn’t change what we need to do.
Thorough disruption.
To put it more scholarly, using barbarians to control barbarians.
Preferably, both forces would die at the end of this battle.
They’re both like cancer eating away at the Korean Peninsula.
“Let’s follow them without being detected.”
“Understood, my lord!”
The bloodsuckers marching from Yongin City to Gwangju were quite a spectacle.
Even after killing so many, the bloodsuckers still filled the roads.
Since they were bloodsuckers, their running speed was comparable to cars.
“With that level of physical ability among bloodsuckers, they seem to be quite an elite unit.”
“I think so too, they show no signs of fatigue even after running for a full 30 minutes.”
“At that level, they must have consumed human blood to the limit.”
“Human blood… tsk.”
Just looking at that scale of bloodsuckers, you could tell how many people were suffering.
In their main base of Seoul, there would be even more bloodsuckers than that, and the amount of blood needed to feed such numbers would be enormous.
“I don’t like it.”
“Neither do I.”
“Those things gave up being human from the start, ugh… it’s disgusting.”
Kim Yeo-ul also frowned.
Kang Jin-woo was biting his lips, seemingly having no good memories either.
“But we’re almost there. From up ahead is Noeikjo’s domain.”
“Once all the bloodsuckers enter, we’ll enter too.”
“Understood.”
The bloodsuckers showed no fear even standing before Noeikjo’s domain.
They were radiating bloodlust from their entire bodies, their eyes glowing with fierce red light.
There were tens of thousands of such creatures.
The momentum that had died down due to my and Kang Cheol-u’s terrorism began to rage fiercely again.
Finally, before entering Noeikjo’s domain, the bloodsuckers took something from their pockets as if by agreement.
It looked like red rubies, and they put them in their mouths and crunched them like candy.
‘What is that now…?’
Shortly after, red protective barriers spread over the bloodsuckers’ bodies.
From the outside, they looked like thin barriers, but some extraordinary power was flowing through them.
“We don’t have lightning protection, what do we do?”
Kim Yeo-ul, who had been watching, asked belatedly, but Kang Cheol-u pointed at the bloodsuckers as if it was fine.
“Cheonma’s thunder clouds move following their master. Normally they’re scattered randomly, but when large-scale forces like this enter, all attention will be focused on them.”
“Then if we enter with a little delay, there shouldn’t be any problem.”
“That’s right.”
All the bloodsuckers set foot into the thunder cloud domain.
Like a massive red cloud surging forward, they tore through Cheonma’s territory.
As if already detected, powerful lightning began striking as soon as the bloodsuckers crossed the line.
An enormous number of lightning bolts pummeled the bloodsuckers, but that mysterious red barrier defended against all the lightning.
“Let me take a look.”
When I activated Soul Sight, an explanation appeared shortly after.
‘Lord of Blood… That one must also be participating in the Divine Throne War.’
Though I had somewhat expected it, seeing it directly with my eyes made my hands clench with more force.
Whether aware of my anger or not, all the bloodsuckers soon entered Cheonma’s domain at a terrifying speed.
Since it seemed they had gained quite some distance, I stood up from my position.
“Now let’s enter as well.”
“Understood.”
“Let’s go! Let’s go!”
Together with Seo Iram, who was strangely excited, we also entered Cheonma’s domain.
* * *
Cheonma had apparently already roughly grasped the nature of that barrier, as it still hadn’t revealed itself.
It was simply using thunder clouds to unleash lightning like mad.
That barrier wasn’t infinite either, as I could see the bloodsuckers’ barriers being destroyed one by one.
“We could just let them wear each other down like this, couldn’t we?”
Kim Yeo-ul, who was hiding and watching this situation, spoke as if surprised, but at least to my eyes it didn’t look that way.
The power contained in Soul Sight was clearly showing me exactly where Cheonma was at this moment.
However, what appeared to be the leader among the bloodsuckers was also staring at exactly the same spot I was looking at.
The one wearing a red cloak began gathering blood in its hand.
A blood spear about 2 meters long received a little blood from all the bloodsuckers, then instantly grew in size.
The bloodsucker tensed its arm and hurled the spear with all its might.
A massive blood spear reaching 20 meters pierced through the dim thunder clouds.
A strike aimed at Cheonma’s heart.
From that great distance, it targeted the enemy’s vital point beyond the thunder clouds.
‘This one’s no ordinary opponent.’
Jinu also seemed quite surprised by the divine technique just displayed, his eyes widening.
However, Cheonma easily flew and dodged the spear.
‘Neither of them are pushovers.’
Thinking that attacks from beyond the clouds were no longer meaningful, Cheonma finally withdrew its thunder clouds.
The Four Kings of the Korean Peninsula, crackling with blue lightning from head to toe, finally descended before the bloodsuckers.
