Episode 35

 

#Episode 35

 

I don’t know if they were trying to deal psychological damage, but Situn’s death didn’t hold much meaning.

 

Rather, the fact that there were thugs who had killed so many S-rank and A-rank Hunters made me even more wary.

 

‘These guys don’t seem like much right now…’

 

The enemy’s abilities that I examined with Soul Insight weren’t particularly strong.

 

The strongest among them was only at B-rank level.

 

Perhaps thinking I was frozen in fear and lost in thought, he casually threw Situn’s head at me.

 

“The Patriarch wishes to see you. Follow us quietly and we’ll spare your life.”

 

What I read from those mocking words was the thick scent of lies.

 

If the Patriarch had ordered them to bring me, they should be carefully escorting me, yet they shoot an arrow at the back of my head?

 

What I had felt while dealing with bloodsuckers was their rigid vertical structure.

 

That claim about the Patriarch calling for me was probably a lie too.

 

Then why would they avoid fighting in this situation and resort to roundabout lies?

 

My rapidly spinning mind soon arrived at an answer.

 

“Jinu.”

 

“Yes, hyung, should we prepare for battle?”

 

“No? When I give the signal, just follow me.”

 

As I quietly whispered to Jinu, the other party members seemed to understand and entered combat stance.

 

I could see the bloodsuckers openly panicking at the S-rank Hunter’s fighting spirit gradually emanating.

 

One… two… three…

 

“Now!”

 

Jinu and I began sprinting toward the National Cemetery.

 

The rest of our companions engaged the bloodsuckers in battle without a moment’s hesitation.

 

Jinu asked, seemingly unable to understand why we had left our companions behind as he followed me.

 

“Hyung, why did we leave the others behind? They didn’t seem that strong.”

 

“Anyone can see they’re trying to buy time, so there’s no reason to play along.”

 

“Ah… I guess you could think of it that way.”

 

“Right, from their perspective, they’d benefit just by making me fight and wasting time.”

 

Most importantly, if this Patriarch guy needed me brought to him, he wouldn’t send such pathetic insects.

 

He would have tried to kidnap me with overwhelming force instead.

 

But this confirmed one thing.

 

The bloodsuckers’ response was slower than I had imagined.

 

Despite penetrating this deep into their heart, I hadn’t received a single proper check.

 

It seemed the First Progenitors I had dealt with and the bloodsuckers who had died in droves had dealt quite a blow.

 

‘Maybe I can handle this more easily than expected.’

 

We quickly left the school and entered the National Cemetery.

 

Now that we’d come this far, everything was as clear as the palm of my hand.

 

“The condition really is terrible…”

 

“Some graves look like they’ve been completely dug up.”

 

With no one to maintain it, sure enough, it had become a complete mess.

 

The grass had grown so thick it reached above my height, and there were more than a few damaged graves.

 

There were even traces of grave robbing scattered everywhere.

 

If Grandfather had been alive, he would have been so shocked he’d grab the back of his neck.

 

“Baek Do-hyeon’s grave should be intact.”

 

I had a bad feeling about this.

 

I was even more anxious because the enemy knew my abilities.

 

As I sprinted through the National Cemetery with my heart pounding, I soon arrived in front of the National Cemetery’s main gate.

 

“Holy shit…”

 

Sure enough, countless bloodsuckers were spread out from this point forward.

 

It was natural since they had known from the beginning that I would come here.

 

Their eyes glowed with red light.

 

They were giving off such a terrible scent that it was hard to believe they had once been human.

 

“I’ve come to reclaim the Republic of Korea. Would you consider stepping aside?”

 

“…What’s he saying?”

 

“He’s asking us to step aside?”

 

“Is he crazy?”

 

“Let’s just kill him?”

 

They seemed to have no intention of having a conversation.

 

From their frivolous way of speaking to licking their lips at the sight of humans, those bastards were no longer human.

 

The fate of those who had fallen, intoxicated by the filthy power called bloodsuckers, was unfolding vividly before my eyes.

 

“Looks like we’ll have to break through with force from here.”

 

“Can we manage with just the two of us, hyung?”

 

“When did I say we’d be fighting as just two?”

 

I reverse-summoned Seth and then summoned him here again.

 

While summoning has distance limitations, reverse-summoning has no distance restrictions.

 

Fortunately, all three were unharmed without a single scratch.

 

“I wondered what was going on when you suddenly called us…”

 

“This is truly disgusting…”

 

“Ugh… Oppa, they’re all red.”

 

Since they were completely blocking the entrance, there was no other way.

 

From here on, we’d have to break through with pure force.

 

“Let’s break through to the entrance. That much is possible, right?”

 

“It’s an easy task.”

 

Cutting through the darkness, Desperado was gripped in my hand.

 

As if it had been bored, Desperado resonated and scattered thick darkness.

 

“Let’s go!”

 

Kang Cheol-u charged first, opening the battle.

 

His massive tower shield collided violently, sending the bloodsuckers guarding the front line flying spectacularly.

 

I too strengthened our allies with Soul Devouring Enhancement and leaped into the enemy formation.

 

Why was this?

 

Just a short while ago, I had been trembling and hiding behind Kim Yeo-ul.

 

But now I felt no fear whatsoever.

 

Rather, the thought that I had to mercilessly kill these former humans with my own hands consumed me.

 

Dark Night and King of Fists began killing bloodsuckers at a terrifying speed.

 

Yeonje exploded as darkness and light mixed in chaos.

 

Within that chaos, I continued fighting while binding souls with Soul Binding.

 

Each time Desperado was swung, bloodsuckers were sliced like cutting tofu.

 

Moving with Death God’s Dance and swinging the scythe wide, all enemies within a 3-meter radius were swept away.

 

“They really filled this place with bloodsuckers from end to end…”

 

Now I understood why the number of bloodsuckers had seemed small.

 

With this many bloodsuckers spread throughout the entire National Cemetery, how could it not be?

 

Fortunately, I didn’t see any powerful bloodsuckers like the First Progenitor.

 

Since they were bloodsuckers at the level of minor demons, the battle was one-sided despite the overwhelming numerical difference.

 

This was something closer to a massacre than a battle.

 

So many bloodsuckers that it was sickening crumbled under our hands.

 

‘With this many dead, they should be running away, so why do they keep charging at us so mindlessly?’

 

Just because humans became bloodsuckers didn’t mean their intelligence was taken away.

 

Normally, with this much difference in combat power, they would be scared and run away.

 

But they were charging at us endlessly as if the emotion of fear had been castrated from them.

 

‘This is a bit strange…’

 

I briefly rode the dance and retreated to the rear.

 

Kicking off the ground and leaping up, I could fly to a height far beyond human limits.

 

‘I thought so.’

 

The one at the very back of the bloodsuckers was performing some evil sorcery.

 

Holding a red pendant and kneeling with hands clasped as if praying, sinister blood energy was endlessly pouring out around her.

 

The bloodsuckers intoxicated by this lost the light in their eyes and went out to fight like robots.

 

I immediately rushed toward the praying bloodsucker.

 

Charging while cutting down countless bloodsuckers who couldn’t even touch my fingertips, I could arrive easily.

 

However, even though I had arrived in front of her, the bloodsucker didn’t stop praying.

 

It wasn’t that she couldn’t feel fear.

 

It was because the bloodsucker’s eyes had been gouged out beforehand so she couldn’t escape.

 

“What vicious bastards…”

 

The sight of her trembling hands but not stopping her prayer made me feel pity for a moment.

 

I cut the bloodsucker’s neck with a single stroke.

 

The endlessly flowing blood energy subsided and soon completely disappeared.

 

The charging bloodsuckers also came to their senses and were horrified at the corpses piled around them.

 

“Hi, hiiiiiik!?”

 

“What is this!!”

 

“Sa, save me! I still have family to support!”

 

The bloodsuckers who belatedly came to their senses began fleeing one by one.

 

Countless bloodsuckers died before the overwhelming difference in power.

 

With corpses piled like mountains, their will to fight was completely shattered.

 

Just as the remaining bloodsuckers scattered and fled in all directions.

 

Thunk!

 

Suddenly, thorns burst out from all the bloodsuckers’ hearts.

 

The thorns that absorbed all the blood from the living bloodsuckers soon exploited blood from the fallen ones as well.

 

Since there were quite a lot of bloodsuckers, the amount of blood collected was enormous.

 

Before anything could happen, Kim Yeo-ul and Jinu launched a preemptive strike, but the thorns simply severed the parts touched by darkness and fire.

 

Eventually, all the thorns gathered together.

 

Countless amounts of blood came together to take human form.

 

Despite using so much blood, what emerged was only the size of a single human.

 

The human gradually took shape.

 

It wore a blood-red crown and elegant, antique clothing.

 

On its back, along with a cloak, eight massive red wings sprouted forth.

 

I could tell instinctively.

 

The being now being summoned was the Patriarch who had destroyed the Korean Peninsula.

 

My companions also sensed the ominous aura and froze in place.

 

Even taking a single step made their hearts ache painfully, so how much worse must it have been for them.

 

But to me, it wasn’t particularly threatening.

 

I glared at the Patriarch whose summoning had finally completed and placed my scythe at its throat.

 

Its flawlessly bright, pure white skin was as clear as if it embodied the bitter winter itself.

 

The softly glowing silver hair and sharp gaze, with red pupils contained within, clearly proved that she was the Patriarch.

 

The Patriarch with closed eyes slowly began to breathe.

 

With each inhalation and exhalation, bloodlust spread in all directions.

 

After a moment, when she fully opened her eyes, the concentrated bloodlust exploded outward.

 

The first words the Patriarch spoke upon meeting my gaze were surprisingly a formal self-introduction.

 

“Greetings, Lord of Souls. I am called Ark Blood Vein, the Lord of Blood.”

 

Even with a scythe at her throat, she wore a gentle smile.

 

Red bloodlust that enchanted reason wrapped around me.

 

Subtle sensuality brushed past my cheek as if trying to stimulate the desires I had been suppressing as a man.

 

It was utterly revolting.

 

“Why do you rage so? Such things will be utterly meaningless once you ascend to the Divine Seat anyway. You would do well to elevate your dignity as a lord.”

 

Vein clicked her tongue in disgust while looking at the corpses scattered at my feet.

 

Her unpleasant tone, as if looking down from a transcendent’s perspective, made me feel even more irritated than before.

 

“At least I seem much braver than you, who comes here as a clone out of fear.”

 

“This too is merely conduct befitting a lord. Would it be proper to recklessly wander about carelessly?”

 

“What fucking bullshit.”

 

Strength entered the hand gripping my scythe.

 

Just how many people had died at the hands of this damned monster?

 

Since Vein was just a clone anyway, she continued grinning smugly.

 

“Do you even know what’s inside there?”

 

“Yeah, I know very well.”

 

Despite my teeth-grinding response, Ark continued to mock me.

 

“From your reaction, I can tell. You know nothing at all.”

 

“What. Since you killed him, you know best, is that it?”

 

At my question, the smile completely disappeared from Ark’s lips.

 

A single word in a dry tone filled with emotionless indifference struck my ears.

 

“What lies within there is someone even I cannot touch.”

 

“What…?”

 

Ark chuckled again.

 

“How about it? Do you feel like having a proper conversation now?”

 

A bewitching smile enveloped me.

 

Red aura that dug into every corner of my brain’s folds kept stimulating me.

 

Really, I felt no attraction whatsoever.

 

“If you wanted to have a conversation with me, you should have at least shown the sincerity to come with your real body.”

 

“Wait a sec—”

 

I didn’t listen to any more conversation and simply severed her neck.

 

Unlike how it had easily deflected Yeo-ul and Jinu’s attacks, Desperado easily cut through the Patriarch’s neck.

 

Black traces remained as her body made of blood completely collapsed.

 

“Was it okay to kill her like that?”

 

“It was obvious she was trying to stall for time. If she really wanted to kill me, she would have set a more sinister trap instead of sending such a bloodsucker.”

 

“That’s true too.”

 

After cutting down the Patriarch, I now stood before Baek Do-hyeon’s Tomb in the deepest part.

 

Befitting a Hunter who had dominated the continent, its grandeur was extraordinary even from the entrance.

 

I pushed open the firmly closed stone door and entered for a moment.

 

“Ow!”

 

“Agh!”

 

“Kyaah!”

 

All my companions except me were unable to enter from the entrance, as if blocked by an invisible wall.

 

“What is this…?”

 

For a moment I thought it might be a trap, but then a voice that reached my ears resonated in my head.

 

[Please come inside, little lord.]
