Build a Human Empire by Creating Clans

chapter 44



“Still, all those bastards have been crippled, so take care of yourself.”

Then, taking a deep breath, she leaned her shoulder on Edar.

It was a fairly intense battle even though they were not easily tired.

Edar grabbed her by the shoulders and supported her.

“great job.”

“…do it properly next time.”

As she said, the condition of the blood relative she dealt with was the worst.

His limbs were melted, torn, or severe enough to say that he was barely breathing.

“Oh, I’ll get that tidy up too.”

His tone was light, but Griff’s eyes were serious.

He raised his narrowed eyes and glared at the blood relative and its owner.

Brothers and sisters died and were injured in front of my eyes, so I couldn’t stand it.

“Young mosquitoes, chew them all up and eat them.”

Gerhard stepped forward.

Following them, the attendants entered the room one by one.

The walls had all collapsed except for the outer wall, so it was as wide as the hall.

“Kuh…”

The imperial chancellor and blood relative Conrad frowned.

Anger boils over the loss of three siblings.

But at the same time, I was worried.

There were too many clans and too few clans.

Even more so, half of the remaining blood relatives are seriously injured.

‘It’s me, Shooter, and Hamel who are fine. Only the three who helped my father.’

Their respective levels are 84, 81 and 82.

Fundamentally, the level was high and the connection was good.

Also, because he did not directly attack Calliope and helped Vlad to keep him in check, he was hardly injured.

But can they defeat over a hundred followers?

Among them are Calliope and Pasimea?

Impossible, Conrad was convinced.

‘Continuing the fight like this is suicidal.’

Conrad broke the outer wall.

The wall was broken, revealing the square in front of the palace.

“father.”

Vlad, who was glaring at Edar while deepening.

I turned my head in anger at my son’s call.

Conrad looked straight into his father’s burning eyes and said.

“Now is not the time. Let us withdraw for now and come back when the time is right.”

“…”

Vlad clenched his fists and shivered.

The word “can’t go down to the neck” came up.

But the reality was harsh.

Three lost blood relatives.

How many more would you lose if you continued the fight?

And will Vlad himself be all right?

Reason replied, no.

“Go back, go.”

He suppressed his anger and spoke softly.

Then he turned and jumped down the collapsed wall.

“Oh, old man!”

Count Hugo hurriedly pursued his blood relative.

The family followed behind him.

“Cowards!”

Gerhard roared and threw his spear.

Along with him, Grif stretched out his hand with his magical energy.

The one who lags behind the bloodline for an instant was bound by magic and hesitated.

He was a blood relative who was severely injured by Pasimea.

The blood relative struck the spear while resisting the magical power that bound them.

However, he did not notice the dagger that was fired after him.

“Kuh, ugh!”

The blood relative collapsed and groaned.

“Looks like the mosquito is drugged.”

“Because Pasimea took some medicine.”

Nuadil, the old man on the mountain, approached his blood relative while joking with Griff.

Blood relatives hesitated to save the fallen brother.

However, Conrad comforted his brother and stopped him.

“Are you abandoning your brother? What a shame to be called a blood relative!”

Gerhard stepped on the fallen blood relative’s head and stabbed the spear again.

The kin waved their arms to resist, but to no avail.

He already had nothing below his left shoulder.

The remaining hand was also cut off at every finger, so it was not even a threat.

Gerhard laughed and twisted the spear in his heart.

“Cuck!”

passssss—

Blood gushed out of his heart, and his body turned white around it.

The blood and flesh turned into white crystals and disintegrated.

“Three with this.”

Gerhard glared at the back of the fleeing Vlad.

“Uh, uhhhhh!”

Vlad gritted his teeth and swallowed his words.

It was the third pain in the day and the fourth death.

I’ve never lost so many blood relatives in one day in my life.

His face was full of shame and anger.

“Edar, Edar! I will never forgive you!”

A bloody battle ensued between the clansmen fleeing from the plaza and the clansmen chasing them.

“Do you think you can escape safely!”

“Something human!”

The blood relatives killed and destroyed everything that stood in their way.

I didn’t have the slightest amount of time to spare, so I poured my magic power at will.

The magic that was created without moderation in the city center was a disaster.

A huge magical storm arose in the middle of the city.

“aaagh!”

“Buy, buy, save me!”

The storm of magical power resembles a whirlwind.

But mana was more terrifying than the wind.

Wind lifts people, but magic grinds them.

It disintegrated and swallowed people into small particles that could no longer be broken into pieces.

Particles that escaped from the whirlwind fell from the sky as snow.

“This is Lord Horbid’s punishment!”

“trust! Lack of faith!”

“Offer a sacrifice!”

In the chaos of the city, people in despair called the name of a false god.

God, who is not God, naturally did not answer them.

The only answer was death.

“The time has come!”

As the historic city, which had never been the capital since the founding of Wallachia, came to an end, those who had been holding their breath rose up.

“Vlad-nim has come to this land!”

They were servants of blood.

The servants that Agathon spread in Sodomora.

According to Hugo’s order, he was in the midst of violent violence.

As planned in advance, they raided nobles not related to their bloodlines, destroyed major facilities in Sodomora, and increased chaos.

He hesitated for a while due to the resistance of humans who were not servants, but when he heard that Vlad had arrived in the city, he turned the city into hell with all his might.

“The corpse… the corpse is alive and moving!”

“Horbid!”

The servant rolled his eyes as he called Vlad’s name with a spirit steeped in madness more than any fanatic.

Destroyed everything in sight.

The sun was setting and the sunset was hanging down, so the city seemed to burn with flames rising from all over the city.

“…”

Even so, Vlad and his blood relatives could not shake off the pursuit.

When they reached the south gate, it was firmly shut.

Calliope looked down on them from the wall of the closed gate.

“how?”

Behind them, Edar arrived with his family.

“Edar…”

“Was the hope of being able to escape alive sweet?”

Edar smiled.

The family surrounded Vlad and his blood relatives.

The blood relatives drew a circle around my father and blocked it.

However, the expression on the blood relative’s face was close to despair.

He read the infinite fighting spirit on the faces of his wounded family members.

I had a hunch that I couldn’t survive without killing them all.

“Kill it. The people who abandoned their own people and became parasites.”

###

The battle was short.

Few of the blood relatives were intact, and there were too many people in the family.

There was no way to beat the crowd ignoring the damage.

Due to a heavy load, Vlad and his blood relatives were driven out.

“Cheer, heo-eok!”

Vlad coughed up blood.

His exhausted body exhaled violently, causing blood to flow backwards.

“The worms…!”

I looked around.

There is only one blood relative standing by her side.

Conrad was the only eldest.

“Cool, cool!”

Conrad’s face was even worse than that.

Several arrows, swords and spears were embedded all over his body.

Even standing was thanks to a spear piercing his chest and being pierced into the floor.

He leaned against the window and dripped blood from his mouth.

Vlad caught his breath and approached Conrad, extending his hand.

“Father… it’s okay, Heo Eok!”

White, long, sharp fangs bit Conrad’s neck.

gulp, gulp…

Vlad sucked hard and drank the firstborn’s blood.

Conrad made a uh, uh, noise, revealing his whites.

His energy was weakened and he was unable to resist and trembled.

In an instant, the skin dried to the bones like a mummy.

On the other hand, the wounds on Vlad’s body began to heal quickly.

hair stone

When no more blood came out even after sucking, Vlad opened his mouth.

When he let go of his mouth, the spear that supported his body tilted to the side and fell.

Caught on the spear like fish, Conrad’s body disintegrated into salt crystals before he even touched the ground.

“after-.”

There was no regret in Vlad’s expression.

A satisfied expression, as if it had satisfied extreme hunger.

I even added a burp loudly.

“Is the family game over?”

Edar saw the scene and asked.

His eyes were very cold, as if he saw the obvious, without the slightest surprise.

“I was going to die anyway. Then you should know how to sacrifice for your father.”

“You said that was a sacrifice?”

Vlad shut his mouth and glared at Edar.

As the wound healed, the lost energy was also returning.

Breathing evenly, he straightened his bent back and lengthened his fingernails.

“…”

Calliope stood before him.

His eyes trembled when he saw her who killed half of her blood relatives.

As she took a step, he took a step back.

But in the second step, I couldn’t back down.

Because his family had surrounded him.

Even if I stepped back, I couldn’t open the distance.

“Damn it…”

A black mist rose under Vlad’s feet.

He showed this by tilting his upper body forward.

The moment I took a stance as if to run into Calliope,

He turned and reached out to Edar.

“Edar Lundlingen!”

Along with passion, magic rose from his right hand.

“Only you!”

The mana gathered at the fingertips was released.

Magical power spread in a straight line toward Edar.

“Oops!”

Grif and Pasimea hurriedly raised their magical powers.

A transparent film formed on the front like a haze and collided with magic.

There was a cracking sound, and part of the mana penetrated through the gap.

Hiss!

“…”

Edar caressed his neck.

In the place where the magical power scratched, there were long cuts.

The wound was not deep, but there was something cut off when the neck was cut.

Took—

The pendant with the string cut off fell to the floor.

“…!”

A jewel embedded in the center of the pendant.

A jewel containing Tiamar’s soul.

Seeing this, Vlad trembled violently.

“that···.”

My eyes swelled up like they were about to explode.

His mouth opened as if his jaw would fall out and he made a uh, uh, stupid sound.

“You bastard… how do you do that…?”

Edar did not answer.

I just bent down to pick up the pendant and smiled at him.

Even though that smile is the expression he makes when the target is devoured, Vlad, trembling with astonishment, doesn’t notice it.

The one whose soul was corrupted by Tiamar’s temptation could not be noticed.

“Why is that in your hand—!”

A cry close to a scream.

At the same time, Calliope rushed.

The blade reached for Vlad’s neck.

He turned into mist and tried to shed his blade.

But Pasimea reached out first.

Her magic prevented him from turning into mist.

Awesome!

Vlad’s head rolled on the ground.

“——!”

The head that didn’t shed a drop of blood even after its throat was cut screamed.

It was clear that he was saying something, but no sound came out.

His gaze was focused on Edar, no, on the jewel, revealing his desire.

Kwajik!

Calliope’s foot stepped on her head.

The head turned into salt crystals and scattered in all directions.

The body, which had completely lost its life, also disintegrated.

And a faint magic power rose from the decomposed body.

If death had come, the mana that should have been scattered was gathering.

Pasimea sensed this and was taken aback.

“Edar, hold on—”

“You think Vlad isn’t dead?”

Pasimea nodded heavily.

“I know?”

“When he decided to leave behind only his own blood, there were countless resistances and even a risk of death. At that time, arrangements were made so that even if he died, he would come back to life.”

Eddar looked at the sky where the sunset was setting.

Pasimea felt the flow of magical power through her senses.

In his eyes, it appeared as a translucent soul.

The spirit screamed and faded away.

“Soon it will rise by borrowing the body of a blood relative from the Empire.”

“You mean come back alive? After all this fuss?”

“Nothing to worry about. He must protect me now.”

I put the pendant into my bosom.

“I showed you that Tiamar’s soul is in me.”

As he spoke, he put his hand inside the crystal left by Vlad.

A ring was caught in his hand.

A ring with a red gem like a ruby in the center.

“Because his pieces are here.”

Pasimea narrowed her eyes as she looked at the ring.

“piece? Tiamar’s soul, is that it?”

“Not similar.”

It was similar to the jewel containing Tiamar’s soul, but different.

The jewel in the pendant was nothing but a jewel no matter how much one looked at it, but the jewel in the ring leaked magic power when approached.

“Ominous”

“Because it contains a part of the soul fragmented for immortality. It is also a ring that bears a little will. In other words, if you are weak-willed, your body may be taken away.”

“Then that…”

“But it’s no use to me.”

Edar put the ring on his index finger.

In an instant, magic power rose from the ring and enveloped him.

However, the magical power only wrapped around him, but did not permeate him.

The magic soon faded back into the ring and he raised his hand.
