“To conclude, it is a vampire.”

“As expected.”

At Association President Chien Bao’s words, the hunters nodded as if they knew that would happen.

A survivor covered in blood whose origins are unknown.

And he looked skinny, as if something had sucked out the moisture.

It was one of the monsters that was quite familiar to those who had even been to the A-rank gate.

vampire.

A monster also known as a ‘vampire’.

Except for the low-level stallions, almost all of them are higher-level beings and have human appearance.

Pale skin and pointed fangs.

It also has the characteristic of having tremendous vitality by sucking human blood and using the power of blood.

“It’s going to be a hassle.”

“Tsk… Is there anyone who can change the light attribute?”

“Are there any silver-plated weapons for the undead here?”

The hunters’ reaction was not very good.

That’s right, speaking of vampires.

They are an advanced race with very high intelligence, and their vitality is also extremely excellent.

Plus, if you suck blood, your vitality will recover in an instant.

Each one runs about five or six stallions.

A very difficult opponent.

In addition, this time, even the most capable party among the A-rank raiders was almost annihilated.

“It’s difficult.”

Everyone was expecting this gate to be difficult.

‘Should I take my foot out?’

‘Honestly, it’s too difficult. I think I need to have an S rank or two.’

No matter how much of a hunter you are, your life is precious.

I had no intention of carelessly stepping into a gate that seemed to have only a 50% survival rate, let alone a chance of clearing it.

But only two people.

There were people who had different thoughts from other hunters.

‘vampire? ‘Vampire eyes?’

‘Pale skin, bright red lips, shiny silver hair… you must be so pretty.’

The moment you hear the word vampire.

Park Ji-hoon and Shin Ji-yeon’s eyes began to sparkle.

Speaking of vampires.

Of course humanoid.

And being beautiful is the national rule.

There are definitely female vampires as well.

‘No, but…’

‘You never know. They say they’re vampires, but giant bat-like guys might come out.’

Still, they had a history of being deeply betrayed by Siren earlier.

I raised my hand and asked Association President Chien Bao.

“Are all vampires humanoid?”

“Yes? Oh yes… that’s right. It was a completely humanoid monster.”

The president of the association looked like he didn’t know why he was asking such a question, but he answered anyway.

Park Ji-hoon and Shin Ji-yeon nodded to his answer.

‘Okay, perfect.’

‘Vampire sister… That pale skin… Cold but soft breasts! I want to lick it all up!’

Park Ji-hoon and Shin Ji-yeon were already flaring their nostrils at the thought of meeting a female vampire.

but.

‘But this time it’s going to be a little tough…’

Although it was an A-rank gate, it was judged to be almost S-rank.

Although information has been created, the difficulty level inside the gate has not changed.

We can only prepare accordingly.

To be honest, Park Ji-hoon’s stats are almost close to S rank, so it might be okay.

Not Shin Ji-yeon or other familiars.

Shin Ji-yeon has only just stepped into A-rank, and the rest of the familiars are B-rank.

It is now possible to summon expendable henchmen, and the power is quite good.

Will Park Ji-hoon be able to clear the Vampire Gate with just his power?

“We are going.”

At that time, the leader of Team 8 of the mercenary guild Peace stepped forward and spoke.

“We are mercenaries. If you give me money, I will invest in any crisis.”

“……”

Upon hearing the news of their participation in the war, others began to get upset.

Originally, I thought it was dangerous so I tried to pull out.

When I think about it, I started to covet it a little.

‘If those guys go in and are lucky enough to clear it… Vampires are basically A-rank intermediate magic stones. In addition, there are vampire fangs, high-quality clothing, magic books hidden in the castle, and even vampire blood…’

Vampires, stallions, and even bosses.

Although the level of difficulty is high, the Vampire Gate is famous for dropping high-quality magic stones and expensive loot.

If they monopolize it all, it means that ‘Peace’ alone will get billions of profits… possibly even over 10 billion.

It was a waste.

It didn’t matter if I wasn’t going to get it anyway, but the opportunity was right in front of me.

There is nothing we cannot do if we cooperate with others.

‘Team number 8 of Peace… I heard that those in single digits are very talented. What if we join them too? ‘Others will surely follow suit.’

The leader of the Bianco raid thought so and slowly raised his hand.

“We go in too. If we leave things like this, not only Vietnam but also neighboring countries in Southeast Asia could be in danger.”

“Anyway, people from the mafia have long tongues. Why don’t you just say it’s because you want the magic stone?”

“What?!”

When the leader of Peace Team 8 started an argument, the expressions on the faces of the Bianco raiders became distorted.

For a moment, I thought a fight would break out.

“We go in too. To be honest, as they say, I crave magic stones and by-products.”

The leader of the Raijin Engineering Team intervened, adjusting his glasses.

In this way, the participation of three A-rank engineering teams was decided.

What remains are Park Ji-hoon and Shin Ji-yeon.

“……”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on them.

‘Honestly, isn’t it difficult? Still, there is only one A-rank recruit and one B-rank recruit.’

Of course, considering the familiars, Park Ji-hoon’s power was above A rank.

Even considering that, they honestly thought that it was not the time for Park Ji-hoon to get involved in this situation.

No matter how much I grow, I’m now at a point where I’m just slightly beyond B rank.

Familiars also have B-C rank power at best.

It did not seem appropriate as a subjugation force for a semi-S rank gate.

Of course, Park Jihoon.

‘Oh, there shouldn’t be too many people… They’re not just going to kill the vampires!’

In fact, they were reluctant to participate.

‘No, but honestly, it’s definitely dangerous this time. There’s not much chance that I’ll be lucky enough to survive because my abilities match well, like I did with Sira.’

Of course, Park Ji-hoon knew it well.

This time, there won’t be anything as lucky as Shira’s special gate.

It’s also hard to handle on your own.

‘Yes, I can’t help it. But you can’t give up looking at vampire eyes, right?’

In the end, Park Ji-hoon made his choice.

Even if female vampires are dying from those bad(?) hunters, it would be nice if he could capture at least a few of them with his own hands.

‘Once you subdue them through battle, you can go out and do the rest.’

We have already confirmed many times that people become obedient even when they are in submission anyway.

It will be possible.

Anyway, Park Ji-hoon came to a conclusion in his head.

“Jiyeon, are you okay?”

“Yes, I think this will be fine.”

After receiving Shin Ji-yeon’s consent, I raised my hand.

“We are also participating.”

“Fuck, why do I have to put up with that bastard acting out?”

Teru Yamazaki, a Japanese student at Raijin University of Technology, was very unhappy with the fact that Park Ji-hoon, who was only ranked B, was treated the same as them and said that he would proudly take his place.

However, I was afraid of getting hit on the head by the leader again, so I wasn’t able to properly express my dissatisfaction.

In this way, they came to the waiting room assigned to each engineering school and complained.

“I can’t help it. Because he was also invited to the event as an ‘A-Rank Raid’ level force like us.”

The leader, Ken Hanami, was also a little dissatisfied, but thought it was something that could not be helped.

“In the first place, if a person has a reputation, their abilities are overstated.”

It’s just a good thing if you don’t harm others and take care of yourself.

That’s what I thought.

“Well, they say they still have a conscience and don’t get rewards.”

One of the engineering team members said, recalling what happened earlier.

‘…It was definitely strange.’

Park Ji-hoon and his group said that there was no need for magic stones or vampire by-products at all.

They even go so far as to say that they can even share the loot from the monsters they have caught with others.

This decision was probably made after carefully considering their rank and position.

‘At first, I thought he just wanted the name value and fame of clearing the semi-S rank gate.’

Then they added one more condition.

‘Instead, acknowledge the vampires captured by Park Ji-hoon as his property and never touch them.’

The moment I heard those words, I realized why he was trying to enter the gate, even giving up the gate clear reward.

If it were a vampire from an A-rank gate, it would naturally have A-rank power.

And if you tame that A-rank vampire as a familiar, his power will increase significantly.

‘Was the purpose of increasing power in the first place?’

And perhaps, since Park Ji-hoon has the ability to grow, he might be trying to increase his stats by taking advantage of this gate experience.

‘Whoa… I guess I’m raising a monster from a foreign country with my own hands.’

However, the hunter gave up the reward and said he would risk his life to enter the gate.

There was absolutely no reason for the Vietnamese Hunter Association to kick out Park Ji-hoon, who was brought in as a gate-clearing force in the first place.

Ken had no choice but to accept it.

“…Tsk.”

Teru Yamazaki clicked his tongue as he looked at the leader who remained still.

From a long time ago, he hated seeing someone running wild without even knowing the subject.

In particular, Park Ji-hoon was very unhappy with the way an individual dared to try to match the A-rank raid team just because he had gained some reputation.

‘I hope you search that bastard inside the gate.’

He thinks so.

I started applying the silver plating for undead that the engineering team had brought to the weapons.
