Episode 153. 「White Blood」 Final Chapter (1)

 

Jeong Do-jin was flying through the Hospital like a ghost.

 

In a world where everything had stopped, passing through walls, the place Do-jin was searching for was the Pharmacy.

 

 

 

“UDS(Unit Dose System) cart… Here it is. Ward 83!”

 

 

 

Having arrived at the Pharmacy, Do-jin quickly found the cart containing the medications for his Younger Sibling’s treatment.

 

 

 

Do-jin frantically searched for various Therapeutic Drugs while recalling his conversation with Cardiac.

 

 

 

– The time you can stay outside is at most the time it takes for the Heart to beat about 100 times. Of course, that would be quite a long time in here.

 

– In here, that’s almost a hundred years…

 

 

 

Cardiac smiled as he looked at Do-jin.

 

He thought that once Do-jin went out and came back, Ella, Akenaton, and Dipangdal would all be gone.

 

Especially since he himself had told them to wait.

 

 

 

– It seems you’ve grown attached to the children. Don’t worry. When you return, only a few days will have passed.

 

– A few days? You said 1 second outside is almost 1 year here.

 

– Time doesn’t work that way. Trust me and go.

 

– Huh? Why should I trust you?

 

 

 

Recalling his conversation with Cardiac, Do-jin moved his hands busily.

 

 

 

Hydroxy…, Cyclopho…, Prednisolone…

 

 

 

Each drug had its own usage instructions and precautions, but with no time left, he wasn’t in a position to consider all that.

 

 

 

Gathering liquid reagents and Syringes, he quickly flew back to the Hospital Room where his Younger Sibling was.

 

 

 

‘…Only a few seconds left!’

 

 

 

His hands trembled from urgency, but he quickly injected the medication.

 

 

 

 

 

Meanwhile, Ella and her companions, who had parted ways with Do-jin above Cardiac, were in a predicament.

 

 

 

They had tried to wait at the entrance of the Cerebral Artery as Do-jin had said, but that place was already under control by the White Blood Army, and while being chased, they had somehow climbed up to just before the Brain.

 

 

 

It was fortunate that they had joined with Resistance fighters who were struggling against the White Blood Army’s tyranny on the way up, but now even that luck was running out as they were surrounded on all sides.

 

 

 

Beyond the Hill, enemies could be seen packed so densely that it was hard to estimate their numbers.

 

 

 

“Ah, is this the end now.”

 

“Damn it.”

 

 

 

Sensing that further resistance was impossible, the Resistance cells hung their heads.

 

 

 

Just then, brown twin-tailed hair whizzed through them, and wherever it moved, explosions seemed to burst forth.

 

 

 

“Haah!”

 

 

 

When Ella gathered her fists and struck out, the surroundings exploded and the White Blood Army soldiers were annihilated.

 

 

 

“Quickly follow me!”

 

“Ella! This way!”

 

 

 

When Akenaton called from the opposite side, Ella quickly leaped in that direction, and the Resistance members who had given up on life ran toward where Akenaton was.

 

And as they entered Akenaton’s Barrier, the White Blood Army soldiers who had been chasing them lost their target and stopped.

 

 

 

The combination of Ella and Akenaton had been the driving force that allowed them to survive without dying until now.

 

 

 

“Hing. If only I had gotten a little stronger!”

 

 

 

At Ella’s words, Akenaton shook his head.

 

 

 

“You’re already strong enough.”

 

 

 

For reasons unknown, the higher they climbed toward the upper world, the stronger Ella’s power became proportionally.

 

Even now, Ella was ridiculously strong beyond belief.

 

 

 

It was just that the enemy was pushing forward with overwhelming numbers.

 

 

 

Kiiing─.

 

 

 

Then, the terrible sound of disaster was heard from afar.

 

 

 

“Ella! Let’s escape. That thing has appeared again.”

 

 

 

Level 6 White Blood Army. Macrophage.

 

 

 

The worm-like creature with a gigantic body spanning dozens of meters was immune to any attack, and even when Akenaton deployed his Magic Arts, it would find Ella and her companions’ location like a ghost.

 

 

 

It was absolutely impossible to face that thing.

 

It was just like a natural disaster.

 

 

 

Just when they were in crisis, a meteor falling at tremendous speed could be seen from the distant Sky.

 

But meteors usually appear as bright streaks of light falling across the dark Night Sky, yet this was clearly the opposite.

 

 

 

A black meteor leaving a pitch-black tail across the bright Sky as it fell.

 

 

 

Eventually, that meteor fell in the center of the Battlefield.

 

 

 

Kwaang─.

 

 

 

Everything in the area was destroyed, creating a large crater.

 

Everything nearby was instantly annihilated, and the shockwave reached where Ella and her companions were.

 

 

 

“Kyaah!”

 

“Ugh!”

 

“Dipangdal. Grab onto me!”

 

 

 

As Dipangdal, the weakest one, was about to be blown away by the shockwave, Akenaton reached out and grabbed him.

 

The surviving Resistance members lay flat on the ground to avoid being blown away.

 

 

 

After the tremendous impact subsided and the dust gradually settled, a figure could be seen standing tall in the center of the crater, emanating streams of black aura.

 

 

 

It was Jeong Do-jin.

 

 

 

“Ah, mister!”

 

“Sir! Why did you come so late! We almost died looking for love!”

 

“Oh, dear God…”

 

 

 

Do-jin slung his pitch-black sword over his shoulder and grinned as he looked at Ella and the cells.

 

 

 

“Have you been well? By the way, are those White Blood Army bastards having a party here? Why are there so many?”

 

 

 

The aura he emanated around him was paradoxically black light.

 

It was literally shining black.

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

Tick tick─.

 

 

 

Jake, sitting in the meeting room and checking the real-time ranking aggregation, anxiously kept tapping his fingers on the desk.

 

 

 

Though it was late dawn, the urgently summoned staff were pulling an all-nighter in the office.

 

 

 

“It’s been updated.”

 

 

 

The global ranking, which updated every 30 minutes, appeared.

 

 

 

1. Alliance [-]

 

2. White Blood [+1]

 

3. California New Lawfirm [-1]

 

 

 

Now it had climbed up right under their chin.

 

 

 

“…What are the detailed scores?”

 

“White Blood still has 4,562 points. And we have 6,210 points, so there’s quite a gap.”

 

 

 

Only then did Jake seem relieved as he leaned back against his chair.

 

 

 

It was 9 PM in Korea, but it was still 3 AM by California standards and 7 AM by Washington standards.

 

 

 

“Well, it’s Asian time right now. Still, when Americans wake up, we should be able to widen the gap further.”

 

 

 

 

 

Meanwhile, Mike and Alex, living in Minnesota, had gathered in their studio apartment in the late dawn to watch “White Blood” and got goosebumps all over their arms.

 

 

 

“Man! Superhero landing!”

 

“Did you see that? That was sick, bro.”

 

“Wow, Korea made movies this well?”

 

“Hey, you’ve been saying that for a month now. You said the same thing from the first episode.”

 

 

 

Alex, still not over the thrill of Do-jin’s appearance, brushed his arms and said.

 

 

 

“Isn’t this honestly way more interesting than ‘Alliance’?”

 

“I’ve thought there was no comparison since last week.”

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

Cardiac controlled all the drugs that the real Do-jin had injected and injected them into Do-jin’s body.

 

 

 

Sizzle─.

 

 

 

As a result, the densely packed White Blood Army all disintegrated along the path wherever Do-jin moved.

 

 

 

“Hmm, I can feel the power inside me diminishing each time I annihilate those guys.”

 

 

 

Looking down from above, due to the color contrast between the all-white White Blood Army and the pitch-black Do-jin, it looked like drawing lines with an ink-stained brush on white drawing paper.

 

 

 

The path Do-jin moved wasn’t rough straight lines but graceful curves, adding Eastern aesthetic sensibility, creating the illusion of appreciating a modern art piece despite clearly being a battle scene.

 

 

 

Actually, this was a kind of trick.

 

 

 

Since this scene could be perceived as mass slaughter, it was magic that Director Jung Yo-han pulled to obtain a PG rating for all audiences from the MPAA.

 

 

 

And that strangely caught the attention of overseas viewers.

 

 

 

Grooooar─.

 

 

 

“What’s this now?”

 

 

 

As Do-jin drew his sword while looking at a giant earth dragon charging from the side, Akenaton’s voice could be heard from far away.

 

 

 

“That’s a Level 6 Macrophage! Be careful!”

 

 

 

The androids that persistently chased Do-jin in episode 1 were Level 5.

 

Level 6 meant it was equivalent to ten of those androids combined.

 

 

 

‘This is called a Macrophage?’

 

 

 

It’s a large cell that captures and digests foreign substances that invade the body.

 

 

 

The creature writhed toward Do-jin, opening its disgustingly round mouth wide as it charged.

 

 

 

Do-jin climbed on top of it and ran forward with his sword stabbed into its torso.

 

 

 

The creature thrashed violently as if in pain.

 

 

 

Like riding a bucking bull, he mounted the thrashing creature and persistently drove his sword into it until it gradually slowed down, then sagged and stopped moving.

 

 

 

Then the Resistance members who had been watching with bated breath came rushing out from various places.

 

 

 

“···We’re alive!”

 

“The Black God has saved us!”

 

 

 

Watching the cells crawling out from wherever they had been hiding, he demanded an explanation from Akenaton.

 

 

 

“···What? These wretches.”

 

“Well···. Somehow I ended up gaining some followers.”

 

 

 

Ella and Dipangdal, who were in the distance, were also trying to run toward Do-jin, whom they were meeting again after several days.

 

 

 

Just then, the ground vibrated violently.

 

 

 

Sensing an ominous presence, Do-jin quickly grabbed Akenaton who was beside him and threw him toward Ella.

 

 

 

“Ella! Catch!”

 

“Huh?”

 

 

 

As the Akenaton that Do-jin threw came flying, Ella caught him in bewilderment.

 

 

 

Kyaaaak─.

 

 

 

And at the same time, a giant mouth suddenly burst out from the ground.

 

 

 

“What is this now···!”

 

 

 

It swallowed Do-jin whole and disappeared back deep into the ground.

 

 

 

 

 

In the pitch-black darkness, Do-jin rolled around and drove his sword into something.

 

 

 

Then he could feel the unknown creature that had swallowed him writhing.

 

 

 

‘That’s right. Does it hurt? Try dying.’

 

 

 

Do-jin drew out the energy flowing through his body strand by strand and spread it through his sword.

 

 

 

The more he did so, the vibrations gradually grew larger until it finally opened its mouth wide and spat Do-jin out again.

 

 

 

As soon as he was spat out from the creature’s body, Do-jin tried to catch his breath but quickly stopped breathing.

 

 

 

‘Gasp! Why is there a sea in a place like this···?’

 

 

 

Spat out in the middle of deep water, Do-jin looked around.

 

 

 

It wasn’t the Stomach or Bladder, but there was a sea near the Brain···.

 

 

 

But there was no time to think.

 

He could feel the creature that had swallowed and spat him out approaching again.

 

 

 

‘It looks like macrophages clumped together.’

 

 

 

The squirming mass was so tangled and intertwined that he couldn’t make out its shape at a glance.

 

 

 

Despite its bizarre appearance, its swimming speed was incredibly fast.

 

 

 

As it extended a tentacle-like face to try to swallow Do-jin again, he raised his sword to block it.

 

The recoil pushed him deeper into the abyss.

 

 

 

At some point, he could feel his sword cutting through the sea and pulling him deeper down.

 

 

 

‘Why is it acting like this?’

 

 

 

There had been two times when the gem embedded in his sword had moved on its own.

 

 

 

When it was attached to Ella’s Brooch, trying to merge with the sword in outer space.

 

When fighting the pterodactyls in the Liver Region, trying to devour the Purple Gem.

 

 

 

‘Then does that mean the Final Gem is somewhere around here?’

 

 

 

Do-jin recalled something.

 

 

 

‘I see.’

 

 

 

A sea so vast it seemed endless no matter how far you went.

 

The place he had arrived at after falling down right in front of the Brain.

 

 

 

The place the Sage from the Liver Region had mentioned wasn’t the Stomach or Bladder.

 

There was another place in the body that could be considered a sea.

 

 

 

That was the Lachrymal Gland.
