Episode 32
#Episode 32
It seems you’re forgetting something, but originally I was the one who took down Cheonma’s head.
That means all that experience came to me.
Naturally, I also awakened a new skill.
“Jinu, from now on you need to fight from maximum range.”
“Huh? Um… I don’t really understand, but I’ll do as you say, hyung.”
“Good.”
Restricting Jinu, our main dealer, to long range was a significant loss in combat power.
But considering the skill I was about to use, Jinu had to fight from a distance.
“I can hear the sound of your little brain working from all the way over here.”
Judeok, who had instantly dealt with one Cheonma, smiled mockingly.
The faint scent of blood that wafted out stung my nose.
It was a fishy stench so foul it made me wrinkle my face.
When I retreated to the rear, thinking I was scared, Judeok sneered at me.
“Are you finally realizing something’s gone wrong?”
It wasn’t worth answering, so I didn’t even open my mouth.
First, I cast Soul Enhancement on my summons.
Then I drove Desperado into the ground to use my new skill.
Following the skill usage method in my head, I reverently knelt down.
Then I gripped Desperado with both hands and pressed my forehead against it.
I offered a prayer to my senior who would be watching from somewhere.
The moment I offered my prayer, I felt as if a thread rising from my heart was reaching somewhere.
And as if those words weren’t false, someone’s power reached me.
It was the warm and gentle darkness I had experienced several times before.
His voice didn’t come through.
But his darkness was supporting me with infinite power.
The area that had been stained with blood began to be dyed with darkness.
In the sky, a massive presence that covered the universe was looking down at me.
On the ground, flowers began to bloom.
Death flowers that took black flames as their leaves bloomed endlessly.
‘The mana consumption is definitely considerable…’
Reviving dead summons itself barely consumes any mana.
However, connecting with an existence of such massive stature was consuming a considerable amount of mana.
The wave of power emanating from me was enough to make even Jinu, who wasn’t contracted with me, flinch momentarily.
But how much more so for the summons contracted with me?
The moment the Lord’s Domain unfolded, the summons’ eyes changed completely.
“Huh…? What kind of overpowered skill is this?”
“Since our lord has set the stage, there’s no longer any reason to hold back.”
“Then I’ll protect Hyun-soo oppa!”
There was no longer any reason to spare their bodies.
Burning with tremendous flames, Kang Cheol-u charged first.
Right now, Kang Cheol-u, freed from the limits of his lifespan, clashed with Judeok.
“Your shield cannot block my attacks…?”
Clang-!
Power completely different from before.
Judeok frowned at the shield that didn’t even get a scratch.
But the main dealer hadn’t even stepped forward yet.
Kim Yeo-ul, who had unleashed the limits of King of Fists and Yeonje without caring about her life, fiercely rushed in.
The Cheonma also seized the opportunity, shooting much more ferocious lightning at Judeok than before.
Since one had died, they couldn’t think of approaching boldly.
But what was frightening was that even amid the relentless barrage of attacks, Judeok wasn’t being pushed back at all, and was fighting on equal terms as time passed.
His overwhelmingly superior combat sense was tongue-wagging enough to make even Kang Cheol-u frown.
Kwaaaaang-!
Chul-woo, who had faced Judeok’s rapier head-on with his great shield, was pushed back by the shockwave.
Judeok seemed to be the same, creating distance and lightly dusting off his hands.
“Why did a strong person like you become a Bloodsucker?”
Kang Cheol-u couldn’t understand at all.
Not as a Bloodsucker’s strength, but the pure power and superior combat sense that his own body possessed.
Right now, he could feel the power of other S-rank Hunters from Judeok.
“Why I became a Bloodsucker…?”
As if he had hit a nerve, the smile on Judeok’s lips faded.
With playfulness gone and only frost-like cold-bloodedness dwelling in him, considerable spirit could be felt from Judeok.
“Well, it’s because humans are weak.”
“I don’t know who’s calling who weak when you were human yourself.”
“Don’t avert your gaze. Even that Baek Do-hyeon you were so proud of ultimately died and became one of the dead, didn’t he?”
As if giving up on something, I could feel Judeok’s power growing even stronger as he muttered his cynical soliloquy.
“I’ve changed my mind. Originally, I was planning to turn you all into Bloodsuckers as well.”
Does that monster have some ability to grow infinitely stronger?
He raised his rapier diagonally and cut his own arm.
An excessive amount of blood was flowing from his arm.
Rather than falling to the ground, that blood flowed upward and settled into Judeok’s rapier.
Judeok’s rapier, which was already unleashing a powerful storm of blood, now became a massive spear.
From the entire spear, a powerful force that could separate bone from flesh with just a graze was relentlessly raging.
“Just die here, all of you.”
The Cheonma members all fell to the ground, seemingly completely overwhelmed by Judeok’s momentum.
To think those arrogant bastards would grovel on the ground of their own accord.
Perhaps to the Bloodsuckers, the Cheonma were nothing more than something they could dispose of at any time from the beginning.
Thinking that far, I couldn’t measure the limits of the power the Bloodsuckers possessed.
“Before that, I should clear away those annoying things first.”
A chilling killing intent was directed toward the Cheonma members.
The spear that left Judeok’s hand roared as it unleashed a crimson storm.
The Cheonma members swallowed by the storm became chunks of meat while letting out pitiful death cries.
Those who had acted so violently disappeared as pieces of flesh without being able to put up a proper resistance even once.
However, none of our allies were shaken by seeing such things.
Judeok seemed to find this extremely irritating, as he immediately re-entered combat.
“To think mere humans could have such hopeful eyes.”
The violently swung spear struck Kang Cheol-u’s shield.
The storm dwelling in the spear ground away at the shield.
Kang Cheol-u, who seemed like he could endure infinitely, was sent flying and crashed into the wall.
From the crimson Colosseum where he crashed, blood-red thorns sprouted and mercilessly pierced through Kang Cheol-u’s body.
Countless holes were drilled through vital points including his brain and heart.
It was an instant death that rendered Seo Iram’s healing power meaningless.
“Now that I’ve killed the annoying one, the rest of the trash can… What?”
The body of the deceased Kang Cheol-u began to be reborn within my domain.
The necromancer flowers spread widely throughout the Lord’s Domain gathered to increase the size of the flame, soon taking the form of Kang Cheol-u.
Then, like a black butterfly flying away, the flame disappeared and Hunter Kang Cheol-u was perfectly resurrected once again.
In perfect condition with even all the equipment that had been damaged before death completely repaired.
At this truly perfect resurrection, Judeok’s eyes, who had been watching, widened as if they would tear.
“Resurrection…? What is this… That’s a power that defies logic and goes against the natural order!!”
It must have been quite a shock, as Judeok’s hand gripping the spear trembled.
But what could be done about it?
It was something that had happened as reality right before our eyes, and this world was allowing it.
“Good, then shall we enjoy round two?”
“Don’t die this time.”
“Right!”
The strategy against Judeok began again, led by Kang Cheol-u’s shield.
Jinu’s black arrows shot from maximum range aimed for Judeok’s heart whenever he showed even the slightest carelessness.
The coordination of the continuing battle became increasingly refined.
The gaps that seemed empty disappeared, and the cracks that could be exploited were reinforced more solidly to become iron walls.
The battle harmony created by four S-rank hunters gathered together could not be broken through by even a single highest-grade Bloodsucker.
However, what was even more terrifying was that the two S-rank hunters in charge of the front line fought without regard for death.
It wasn’t at the level of giving flesh to take bone.
They were considering an extremely savage combat method, as if they could give up everything as long as they could land just one attack.
Even so, when he stabbed vital points and killed them, they would instantly resurrect and rejoin the battle.
Enemies that weren’t easy to kill in the first place, yet even when killed would resurrect infinitely.
Judeok’s spear began to gradually slow down.
It wasn’t that his stamina was running out.
It was because he was gradually realizing that the attacks he was making were meaningless.
He had dealt with immortal-like bastards plenty of times.
Even those with insane regenerative abilities died when dealt fatal damage to vital points.
The King Slime, and even that tenacious Orc King weren’t particularly difficult.
It was enough to inflict catastrophic damage in an instant and kill them instantly without giving them time to regenerate.
But what the hell was this?
It wasn’t regeneration or immortality.
They were just beings that would delete and resurrect even after dying.
Now he couldn’t even clearly remember how many times he had killed them.
Their resurrection had no limits, and they were enemies that grew stronger as they died with their heads buried in battle.
“Who… who’s calling whom a monster!”
The most important thing in battle is momentum.
I could feel that momentum gradually breaking and becoming blunt.
I had to somehow find a way to break through this battle.
The first method was to kill that bastard who was praying over there.
However, to do that, I would have to break through all those monster-like bastards.
Their firepower was by no means at a level that could be ignored.
And above all, I could feel that the bastard who only launched attacks from long range was still hiding some secret weapon.
A dilemma.
The longer the battle continued, the more it felt like sinking into a swamp.
The problem was that by the time I noticed this, it was already too late.
Kaaang-!
“It doesn’t work anymore!”
The spear that had been sharpened with keen momentum could no longer penetrate the enemies.
The blurry attacks that had been lightly deflected found their focus.
At least seven attacks came in with each breath.
I felt like I was going to lose my mind.
Even when I somehow found gaps and killed them, they now revived in the blink of an eye and rejoined the battle.
“Ah.”
I could feel the strength leaving the hand gripping my spear.
A new fear, not a physical limit, pierced my brain like a needle.
Everything was because of that bastard over there.
A being that could revive infinitely.
I had never heard of such a thing even from the Patriarch.
I even felt like I was going against the will of some unreachable, enormous existence.
‘A power that defies heaven by refusing life and death…’
I could feel the balance of power gradually crumbling.
My spear was pushed back, my strength was pushed back, and my momentum was pushed back.
In this sealed battlefield, there was nowhere left to run.
The spear swung hazily couldn’t reach the enemies.
A battle that found no meaning had no strength behind it.
Just floundering endlessly in an infinite bottomless swamp.
“Damn… shit…”
For the first time since becoming a Bloodsucker, I felt powerless.
I absolutely could not overcome this enormous wall called revival.
I never thought I would feel such emotions when I stood at the pinnacle of all vassals.
When I was reborn as a Bloodsucker, I thought I had grasped the power to look down upon the world.
“An opening-!”
Ah.
A shield struck Judeok’s spear hard.
His chest opened and a fist filled with flames struck his heart hard.
The flames that spread wouldn’t die down.
Arrows pierced his shoulders and elbows, knees and Achilles tendons.
“Kuheoook-!”
Thud-!
Judeok, who had boasted strength like an iron fortress, fell to his knees.
The powerless defeat that he thought he would never feel again was indeed bitter.
“Patriarch… I’m sorry…”
The will to continue the battle no longer existed.
His broken heart provided no power to move.
Just as he knelt and bowed his head to drink the bitter cup of death.
『Do not carelessly show death before ‘him.’』
A bright red hand that emerged from the black pool of blood gripped Judeok tightly.
Like being dragged away by a water demon, Judeok disappeared into the pool of blood.
“What!?”
“Chase after him!”
They urgently tried to jump into the pool of blood together, but that place had long since turned back into ordinary ground.
