chapter 144
144. Wouldn’t it be like that?
Richmond looked around with a half-bewildered face.
It was because the forest near the front gate of Vlad Castle, which had been fine just a moment ago, had turned into hell.
Knock… Knock…!
Here and there, embers that had not yet been extinguished were smoking and burning bushes.
The giant trees that had been standing in this place for a long time had fallen, as if they had met a typhoon.
Not only that.
On the scorched floor, Rohan was sitting.
The problem was the strange object underneath.
“S-no way…… that’s…”
Richmond doubted his eyes.
Because it’s a sight you won’t believe.
Orhel, who stood next to him, answered.
“Uh. That sounds right, you think.”
“Well, if that’s the case…ji, really…”
“That one, from the looks of it, is the perfect Remedys size. Look at the height, the height.”
“……!”
Orhel smiled and walked forward.
With an expression that seemed to say ‘Look at that, did I say it would end like this?’.
To be honest, it was Richmond who didn’t believe them, including Orhel, until right before they came out of the castle.
Does it make sense?
Aren’t the vampire lords not so easygoing?
Even Richmond himself, who was classified as the weakest among the Vampire Lords, and Locke were the same.
They are the weakest here, and they are the ones who would not dare to look up to them anywhere else.
If anything, let’s say that a human being greatly offended the vampire lord himself.
I made a big mistake that I couldn’t stop my anger.
But what if we assume that he was the king of a certain kingdom, and that Richmond fell right in the middle of that kingdom?
On that day, it was safe to say that the kingdom would disappear from the map.
lock?
Locke was rather a person who belonged to a stronger person than himself.
So it won’t be that different.
In other words, even Locke and Richmond are classified as weak among the Vampire Lords.
In general, it was they who were on a level that no one could touch.
In Middle-earth, the only Lord-level beings are Dragon Lords and Elf Lords…
‘The Dragon Lord had already disappeared hundreds of years ago, and the Elf Lord hadn’t been seen for so long that we couldn’t even hear about it.’
In Middle-earth, it was normal that no one should be able to match the Vampire Lord.
But…not even a giant, only a human.
How did you come up with such absurd results?
Even with that many people, even the weaker Locke couldn’t be captured alive.
Rohan had fried Remedes by himself.
‘tremendous……!’
Admiration.
And the emotion that followed was… fear.
The fear created by the survival instinct felt in the overwhelming power gap.
‘But, if I had fought… wouldn’t I have looked like that? and! Seed!’
Of course, it wouldn’t have been a real fight between himself and Rohan, so Rohan would have tolerated it a little…
Richmond’s hand, seeing his opponent’s real face, could not hide his feelings and trembled weakly.
And at the same time, it felt like Orhel was getting nasty.
‘No matter how playful it was, it crossed the line, this!’
* * *
Remedes, who was lying under me, was surprisingly still breathing even though he looked like he had turned into a black lump of charcoal.
Even to the point where the entire skin is blackened and hardened.
Of course, I knew that even if I attacked like this, I wouldn’t die.
‘Because I need a dedicated weapon to kill the Vampire Lord.’
Like the Heart of Drettnor prison sword.
No matter how much I was, I still didn’t have the ability to go against that providence.
couldn’t kill
However, Remedes’ stamina seemed to have reached its limit.
Well, I made up my mind and kept fighting to die like a Cheonji Storm, so if I hadn’t lost my stamina, I would have been rather sad.
anyway.
If you were breathing like this, you should be able to talk.
Orhel squatted beside me.
“Hey, Remedes. As the Lord you must keep the balance of this middle-earth. I will give you one last chance to fulfill your duty. Who are you? Who approached you and Locke?”
Orhel looked down at Remedes with eyes colder than the bitter cold.
Surprisingly, Remedes, who recovered his eyeballs in the meantime.
Still not fully recovered, she managed to mumble with her lips that had melted and burned.
“You’re foolish, Orhel. The world where you have to maintain such a responsibility is already drawing to a close. It’s time to prepare to face a new world. How can you be called Lord if you can’t read the current trend? You are the last chance. If you follow me, and if you give me your bloodstone. Thinking of my friendship, I will personally ask the giants for a chance.”
Orhel listened to his answer and nodded.
“Yeah. One thing is for sure. It doesn’t make sense.”
Orhel stood up as it was.
Blood was applied to the nails.
And then mercilessly.
Chew!
He struck Remedes in the neck.
* * *
Vampire Lord Locke was gasping for breath as if he were about to run out of breath.
“Huh…! Heh…!”
arrived at a space.
It was a corner of a rocky mountain that does not exist outside of rocks.
Locke limped over the rocks, glancing behind him for any pursuers.
after so long
The place where his steps stopped for a moment was the entrance to a huge rock cave.
Locke looked behind him again.
After confirming that there were no pursuers, he entered the entrance of the cave, which was as huge as a monster’s mouth.

Jerk, jerk.
Only the sound of his own footsteps echoed in this dark cave.
But Locke knew.
It’s quiet, but you know you’re not alone in this space.
He forcibly dragged his burning legs from being beaten by Orhel.
We continued to go deeper into the cave.
After several diverging points.
Locke reached the end of the cave.
And before that…
coo coo coo…!
A huge being slowly lowered its head and looked down at Locke.
Although Locke was already aware of his existence.
Having treated him alone in the absence of Remedes made me drool without even realizing it.
gulp!
but for a while.
Locke squinted his eyes and looked up at the colossus and shouted.
“It’s a different story! Anteos!”
to that call.
Anteos, the giant of rock, asked back.
“Where is Remedes?”
“It’s all messed up because you passed on the wrong information!”
To Locke who raised his voice.
Anteos’ expressionless face changed slightly.
He did not hide his displeasure.
“Lower your voice. Vampire Lord. I don’t like noisy things, have you forgotten?”
“……!”
At those words, Locke kept his mouth shut.
live?
It wasn’t that kind of flimsy energy.
spirit of god.
The feeling of pressure emanating from an existence on a higher level that cannot be dared to be touched.
Locke trembled in anger at Anteos for sending them without giving proper information.
Outwardly, it showed nothing.
Once again, Anteos opened his mouth.
“I asked where Remedes is. Answer my question.”
They were all words of command.
Locke answered without resistance.
“At Vlad Castle, Orhel and a few more guys were already there. You said you were wrong when you said that only Richmond would be there.”
“……”
Anteos kept his mouth shut as if thinking for a moment.
I asked again.
“Even if Orhel is present, Remedes must not be caught.”
Locke nodded at him.
“I’m sure. But didn’t I just tell you that there were several more besides Orhel?”
“Okay, let’s see…”
“The fire spirit king, Magmaros. He was also included!”
“……Magmaros?”
When the unexpected name popped up, Anteos couldn’t hide his embarrassment either.
Unlike Remedes, Locke was rather hot-tempered.
As the memory of that moment came back, the fire broke out again.
“And again, why is Nao on their side again? And why didn’t you tell me! Na Na started to get entangled thanks to the commotion at the front gate of Vlad’s Castle!”
“Naol… you mean he betrayed you?”
Let Anteos narrow his eyes.
Locke began to shoot more.
“You think that’s all? No! There was a guy who used the fire of Hellperion, and there were three strangely strong humans mixed in! That’s just part of it. There was a bigger problem! Everyone was behind me, including Orhel!”
To too radical a change of circumstances.
Even though it bothered him, Anteos kept his mouth shut and listened to Locke.
“What do you mean? Only one person! Only one person killed Remedes-nii-sama! I’m saying this makes sense! Even that guy! He definitely had a third eye! That means he’s a giant!”
Locke raised his voice and shouted.
“Don’t you know that my sense of being able to transform into a beast is extremely sensitive and at the same time superior to that of my other siblings!”
It was Locke who kept his gaze on the floor and brought back memories of that time.
Locke’s fist trembled slightly.
His keen senses did not miss the overwhelming power of the one who subdued Remedes.
“I definitely felt it from him. The guy who defeated Remedes-nii-nii… he definitely had the power of the celestial realm, but at the same time he possessed the essence of the Spirit King… and even the aura of the giants!”
Locke couldn’t help but be suspicious.
There is no guarantee that this giant will not trap himself and Remedes.
“It was difficult to perceive properly because all of those energies were mixed, but my senses aren’t that dull. In my third eye, even the energy of the colossi condensed in that left arm…! Even if I can, my senses can’t be fooled!”
Speaking of the third eye.
Anteos bent his upper body and pressed his face to Locke.
The huge eyeballs of Anteos, who had come close at hand.
“……!”
At that moment, Locke had no choice but to freeze.
And without a chance to escape.
Whoa, whoops!
Anteos’ hand, bigger than an eyeball, attacked from the darkness and grabbed Locke’s torso with such force that it would crush him.
Quadduk!
That power alone would already be painful enough.
Locke, who had not yet been fully healed even from Orhel’s injuries, could not stop the screams that leaked out spontaneously.
“Ugh!……Ah!”
But Anteos didn’t care and parted his lips.
“From now on, whatever I ask you, you will have to answer without lying…!”
