chapter 19
vampire (3)
“Ugh…”
A suppressed moan leaked from the basement in the pitch-black darkness.
Aww!
“Cuckoo!”
Then, along with the sound of hitting something, a mournful cry rang out, and then there was silence.
“Damn, you’re dead again, aren’t you? I wrote it to save money. They are like weak human beings.”
The pure-blooded vampire Tiafol threw the whip he was holding.
The whip flew across the ground, and the blood that had been buried there was scattered all over the place.
“I thought this life would end soon. What was Weirak doing until things got to this point? ‘Cause he’s like an incompetent When I return, I will definitely report this to the Clan Lord.”
He groaned for a moment, got angry, and then clapped his hands.
“Did you call?”
One of the Servants who approached me suddenly bowed my head and prostrated.
“Take it out and get a new one tonight. This time with something stronger.”
“Yes, I understand.”
The Servant collected the body and disappeared inside.
It will be eaten by the servants and slaves deployed to this hideout to serve.
Tiafol moved deeper into the basement.
“Did I rather go out of town instead of pirita?”
I tried to grumble for a bit, but I knew I couldn’t.
Because he needed himself to maintain the blood magic that surrounds this hideout.
As usual, when the two of us take turns guarding and leaving our seats for a while, I don’t know, but when I was out for a long time like this time, I had to stick with myself.
“Damn it! I haven’t been able to go out for a few days, and I’m like a mouse.”
As Tiapol was moving, he opened the door to the deepest basement and entered.
“Uhhhh…”
As soon as he opened the door, he took a deep breath at the deep scent of blood.
A magic circle that glows red, painted on the walls and ceiling as well as the floor inside the stone chamber.
They were made of blood and were pulsating like veins connected to the heart.
And in the middle of it, a black box was placed in the center of the magic circle.
“…it’s okay. No need to refill with blood. Shall I close my eyes for a moment?”
After checking the condition of the sealed fragments, he headed upstairs again.
It has been a routine that has been repeated every day since I came to this city.
‘It’s really boring. I want you to get out of this city.’
Tiapol entered his bedroom and laid down on the bed and closed his eyes.
If it was pure blood, it didn’t matter if he hadn’t slept for a few days, but he was resting for a few hours a day to maintain his condition.
What would you do if you had to stay awake in this hideout where there was nothing to do?
‘The toy to kill time just broke.’
The moment he fell asleep thinking that the next toy should last longer, he woke up with his eyes wide open.
“Black magic?! Suddenly where!”
Quajijik—!
At the same time as detecting the appearance of black magic, the blood magic surrounding the hideout was broken.
Upon realizing that an intruder had entered, Tiafol headed straight to the basement.
[Kieek—!]
Tickle click!
I felt the energy of the undead along with black magic, and they began to invade the inside of the mansion.
‘Are you a Necromancer? How did you find out about this place? No, there are vampires all over the city, how did you get here?’
There was a degree of incompetence that no one noticed until the enemy entered the middle of the city and approached the hideout.
Quang-!
Servants and slaves, who were guarding the hideout in response to the sudden attack of the undead, began to fight.
“Where the filthy corpses dare here!”
A Servant, the deteriorated version of a vampire.
Bloodshot eyes, sharp fangs and claws, they aimed at their enemies in the dark.
“Kyaah—!”
A slave who lost his reason and took on all kinds of weaknesses, but only raised his combat power.
The monsters, who screamed and inflated their bodies horribly, rushed in and tore the undead to pieces.
Forces from both sides collided and battles began to take place in various places, but Tiafol had no time to pay attention to it.
Shoo- bang!
It was because he was busy blocking the black rays that were flying towards him.
“Ugh, who are you?! You know where this place is!”
Kwagwagwang!
Black thorns rushed through him as if piercing him, and at the same time, a black flame that flew in blocked his escape route.
“ね!”
Chow—
The veins of blood that spouted from Tiafol’s fingertips turned red and wrapped around his body.
He moved in that state to dodge the attack that followed.
“Surely reveal your identity!”
Sugagak—!
A blade of blood formed by the agglomeration of veins of blood spurted from the swept fingertips.
It flew to the place where the attack started and disappeared after cutting off a group of undead.
bang-!
“this guy! to the end!”
Black flames flew again.
Tiafol barely responded to the opponent’s silent attack, trying to figure out the opponent’s identity.
And after several workshops, he was surprised to find someone who attacked him.
“Demilich?! How did I get here!”
If he was a human warlock who was good at hiding his energy, he could easily understand it.
Of course, it is unavoidable to say that even that is incompetent.
However, the fact that the demilich, who could be called a demon, entered the middle of the city undetected was not a matter of simply saying that he was incompetent.
How could you not know when the energy of death vibrates like this?
‘Are all vampires in this city just idiots? Weirak, what the hell have you done!’
It was difficult to endure while barely responding to the opponent’s black magic.
The level of magic was also the same, but the amount of black magic that was overwhelming and pressing it down was amazing.
A thorn made up of rushing shadows that seem to cover all directions.
A grip of darkness that suddenly grabs your ankles.
If you forget, a black flash of light that explodes.
All kinds of black magic poured out without stopping.
Aww—!
‘What black magic! But there’s no way you can’t go unnoticed by such a commotion. Hold on as much as possible until reinforcements come!’
Demilich opened a concealment barrier as soon as he entered, but there was no way he could hide the ideal in the middle of the city for so long.
‘No, it’s a bit unsettling to see what happened so far, but for now, I have no choice but to believe and endure.’
Specializing in blood magic using blood, he did not have good compatibility with the undead.
To be honest, even if there was a lot of blood, I wouldn’t have dared to beat that demilich, but the situation would have been much better than it is now.
Fortunately, it was that the minions were holding up well against the undead due to the small space, and it was not likely that he would collapse right away.
It was a time when I was desperately waiting for that.
“Tiapol!”
bang!
A group of undead hordes of vampires approached.
A vampire with residual blood that was not inside the hideout.
In other words, it was a helper from outside.
“Oh oh! Did you come for support? Did you tell the news outside?”
“Yes! of course. After detecting an anomaly from the outside and spreading the situation immediately, I entered to help Tiafol-sama!”
“Good job! Now I just have to hold on a little longer!”
It seemed like things were happening and they held out for quite some time, but not much time actually passed.
For the first time in recent years, Tiapol, who had encountered a situation he liked, looked at the demilich in front of him with a little peace of mind.
It stopped the attack and looked over to see if it was bewildered by the sudden intrusion of reinforcements.
“That demilich is a monster. The amount of black magic is abnormal. Don’t think about winning, but help me with the idea of procrastinating until reinforcements come!”
“Yes, I understand!”
Things have improved a lot.
The undead were blocked from entering by the minions, and he was able to endure more comfortably with the help of residual blood.
‘Now, if support comes, you’re done!’
Kwagwagwang!
Tiafol, who was using the blood of the minions scattered everywhere to block the bone spear that the opponent had blasted, realized that the residual blood nearby had disappeared.
‘Are you trying to attack that guy? It won’t work, but if you can give me some time to spare, that’s enough…’
Whoops—!
The accident was stopped by a sudden shock.
I looked down to where I felt the pain and saw a blood-soaked blade with sharp claws sticking out of my heart.
“Big… heh! Whoops.”
‘attack? residual blood on me? why? how···? It must have been the same clan… Did you ignore the prohibition?’
Before he could fully comprehend the situation, an evil hand grabbed his hair and tilted his head to the side.
And I could feel something piercing through the exposed nape of my neck.
‘People predation…! This madman is in this situation… Do we want to die together!’
Isn’t that the situation right in front of you?
It was time to use blood magic by collecting his gurgling blood to get out of the situation.
Pubu boo book! Whoops—!
Demilich didn’t miss a beat and used black magic to pierce his whole body with a spear of bones.
Although he had endured with the vitality of a pure-blooded vampire, it was as if the situation had already ended.
‘Keuk…, you’re going to die together because of one crazy guy…’.
When he is swearing at the remaining blood that has died with him in his fading mind.
Keep going— keep going!
He still felt blood rushing through the fangs in the nape of his neck.
‘Is this guy going to the end even in this situation…? No, wait. Is something strange?’
He mobilized all his senses and soon found the identity of the sense of incongruity.
‘The attack only missed that guy…? Accident? Or did he avoid it?’
The man hanging from the back was happily sucking his blood with an intact body without a single wound.
Still, the demilich didn’t attack any more and just watched them.
As if he had no interest in the residual blood that hung behind him and sucked his blood.
‘No, it’s the other way around. You’re feeding me to this guy!’
Upon realizing it, it felt as if the spears of the bones that bound him were also fixed to make it easier for him to suck blood.
No, that was for sure.
Even now, black magic is flowing through the place he pierced, and he’s only preventing him from using blood magic.
‘why? What’s the relationship between that remnant blood and the demilich…? I hope he brought me here…’
In the slowly scattered thoughts, Tiafol could not draw any conclusions and immediately lowered his head.
Even after his death, the bloody vampire hanging on the back was just sucking blood hard.

《The entity inherited the blood and attained enlightenment. Acquire the skill 「Blood Magic」.」
Heinz slowly fell off Tiafol’s neck.
His shriveled corpse slowly began to crumble, then turned to dust and scattered.
‘It’s convenient because you don’t have to worry about mental contamination by predation on your own. efficient.’
The thirst for vampires, which had been restrained as much as possible, had completely disappeared, and the increase in strength was also perfect.
The biggest problem with the predation of its own people is that the more they suck blood, the more they pollute their minds.
As the source of the vampire’s power is blood, the thoughts of the original owner who remained there were terrible.
If you drink something like that, it won’t end with schizophrenia.
It is dangerous even for a lower class than himself, so he restrains himself from it.
‘Whoa, the situation was very good.’
After being summoned in front of their hideout, Hans immediately put on a concealment barrier and then invaded inside.
Tiafol, a pure-blooded vampire, was weaker than expected.
I thought it would take at least two to fight the warlock Malcolm.
However, it was enough for me to get in the way because I was in a hurry.
Still, there were more servants and slaves inside than I thought, so the reinforcements were able to arrive after the undead could not enter.
As soon as there was a sign that the fight would be long, Heinz, who was waiting nearby, was dispatched.
Approaching the vicinity of Tiafol and fighting the undead roughly, pretending to have entered and approaching and surprise.
It was a simple operation, but the effect was better than expected.
‘It’s thanks to being a vampire from the same clan and being vigilant. He must have been relieved to hear that support would come soon.’
Of course it was a lie.
Until Heinz rushed in, the vampires had no clue.
‘But it’s only a matter of time before they get caught. You have to hurry as much as possible.’
Hans had already helped the undead from the moment Tiafol’s breath stopped, and after killing all of the vampire’s minions, he headed into the basement.
Heinz hurriedly followed them and headed for the room with the fragments.
“Wow···. Is that great?”
There, a barrier using blood magic was spread throughout the room.
It seemed like it could be dispelled with the knowledge of “Blood Magic” acquired this time if I put a lot of effort into it…
‘I don’t have time, so I have no choice but to deal with it.’
With Heinz’s knowledge, he grasps the weakness of the barrier.
And immediately attacked there with the overwhelming black magic of Hans.
Kugugu Palace…
The moment the barrier was shaken by the shock, Heinz immediately used blood magic to take some of the control and drilled a small hole.
‘Simple.’
Hans leisurely entered the barrier and opened the black box in the center without hesitation.
There, the black jewels she had seen before were sealed there.
‘Ahh···. I think I can see why they targeted the fragments of the warlocks.’
Warlocks, if the shards of the ‘Reverse Heaven’ had a lack of unity due to a weak bond, these fragments were too agglomerated and hardened.
‘If you combine the aged fragments with this, it will be more complete.’
There were no fragments that had matured for me, but I was nothing more than a body united with the fragments.
Without hesitation, Hans grabbed the shards inside the box and started synchronizing.
‘It’s going to take longer than I thought because it’s so crowded… Oh my, did you get caught?’
I felt a group of vampires entering the barrier that covered the hideout.
At the forefront was the pure-blooded Yurak.
But before the vampires entered the building, Malcolm and the undead ran out and started fighting them under the sun.
‘There are even Malcolm and the top undead, so we can endure enough against Weirak.’
Malcolm is weaker than before, but under the sun, he won’t be too far behind against Weirak.
‘I’ closed his eyes and focused all his mind on synchronization with the fragments.
Hans, who was in direct contact with him, and Heinz II next to him, as well as the main body on Earth.
Gathering all the resources allocated to each individual, he poured all his mental power into Hans.
It was the first application of the “Avatar” skill, but the result was very satisfactory.
“The object grows by fulfilling the condition. Acquire the special skill 「Forbidden Knowledge」.」
《Resilience is meaningless to the object. The skill “Super Recovery” evolves into the special skill “Immortal”.
Because Hans absorbed the fragments of the Immortal King and succeeded in evolving into ‘Arch-Lich’.
