It goes up from underground to above ground in one go.

There was no particular battle.

Because they couldn’t even find the vampire’s shadow in the first place.

Even though they were lazy, they didn’t let their patrols stop. Where did they all go?

The question was resolved as soon as it was created.

Coo coo coo… !

The upper floor continues to emit loud noises that shake the entire castle.

Just like us, the vampires would have headed straight there.

As soon as I got up to the third floor, I felt countless figures right above me.

I stop for a moment and look at my colleagues.

“It looks like you won’t be able to avoid battle upstairs, so everyone, brace yourselves.”

This is also said to me.

I pull out my sword.

Meanwhile, Angela jumps out from among her colleagues and takes the lead, heavily armed.

“I will take the lead.”

“Please.”

It’s worth trusting and trusting her.

“Departing.”

After forming a formation, climb the stairs.

So we went up to the 4th floor.

At the corner of my eye, I see the backs of vampires who look very urgent.

“Hurry up and move!”

A cry full of tension.

They are trying to climb the stairs to the 5th floor, passing us who have just climbed to the 4th floor.

What do we do?

Should I let it go like this?

No, no.

Rather than dealing with all the vampires at once, it would be better to attack them individually.

It was time to speed up and catch the guys behind and force them to stop.

“Hey, you bastards of mosquitoes! Where are you going in such a hurry?!”

Kaang! Kaang!

Angela, who was running next to him, banged on her shield and casted a wide-area taunt while uttering the word “mosquito” that they hated to hear the most.

Then he looks over and smiles.

‘Did I do well?’ An expression as if asking.

He responds by giving her a thumbs up.

“It’s the best.”

The vampires running from the rear stop one by one and turn around.

And I am shocked.

“is a human!”

“How can these guys who should be locked up in prison… !”

“How dare you start a fight with someone you once defeated!”

These guys are very funny.

Respond with cynicism to those who provoke you with nonsense.

“If it weren’t for the hostages, you would all have died on the spot.”

The murderous will quickly rises between the forces of both sides.

“Suck up all their blood without leaving a single drop!”

“Who wants to suck it?”

The burning hatred began to clash in the center of the vast hall.

Nails harder than steel collide with weaponry.

Kaang!

Cheaeng!

Quad Deuk!

The blood magic poured out by the vampires who spread their huge bat wings and flew up, and the various elemental magics of the wizards who spread their wings in response collided in the air and oxidized.

Pow!

Haha!

Push shush… !

We are the ones who are starting to gain a little bit of victory in the fierce battle.

If it was natural, it was natural.

Unlike those who fight based solely on individual abilities, we are systematic.

From the time I stayed in Bulgaria until I helped the volunteer group.

Even though we were busy, we invested a lot of time in tactical aspects.

And one more thing.

“Ugh… , you inferior human being!”

“Heung.”

Suddenly

“Wow… !”

Our individual skills are also superior.

Vampires are rated from B to A.

However, the people gathered here are all of the highest level among A-level players.

I wonder if the Guardians brought just anyone?

“No, that’s nonsense… .”

“Yes, it’s okay.”

dump!

After cutting down every last one, we take stock of the situation.

“Are there any injuries?”

“There is no way.”

Well, too.

“Let’s leave right away.”

With a satisfied expression on his face, he immediately turns around and goes up the stairs.

There wasn’t much presence on the 5th floor.

However, one thing bothered me.

The presence of a vampire standing in the hallway from the 5th to the 6th floor.

“It’s something to live for a long time. I never thought I would dare to see humans roaming around the castle.”

The guy laughed, covering his face with his black-gloved hands, as if he couldn’t believe it.

What he did was ridiculous, but the power felt within it was considerable.

To put it roughly, has he just reached the rank of S-class superhuman?

It comes to mind.

“… Are you the one who thinks you are the Holy Blood or something?”

The information that the vampire caught during the search revealed without hesitation before he became kind.

Holy blood.

Ten noble lineages who inherited the blood of the first ancestor most deeply… Was it like this?

The guy flutters his cape in a stylish manner and answers in a proud tone.

“Yes. I am one of the 10 Precious Bloods. It is ‘Baron Haarmann’.”

Baron Harman.

If you are a Baron… .

“Ah, what is it? If you’re a Baron, that means you’re last among the Holy Blood, right?”

The expression on his face that had been relaxed just a moment ago hardens.

Oops.

Was this a taboo word?

Well, what would you do if you just walked around outside?

When I entered the Precious Blood, I would always be the youngest.

It’s natural to have a complex.

◦Do not rush people. Because every single one of you will die here anyway.”

“Well.”

Move forward while holding the sword.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can play with you for long.”

There’s someone waiting upstairs.

“This human… !”

The intense energy and scent of blood spreads out.

That was enough.

To clearly understand the difference in skill between me and my opponent.

I run down the hallway that stretches in a straight line and plunge my sword into the guy’s heart.

Phew!

“Ugh… !”

The game was over in just one breath.

Eyes stained with pain and surprise turn to me.

“My, the speed is so fast that I can’t see it with my eyes… , what kind of guy are you… ?”

“Kim Do-jin.”

He answered willingly.

It would be easier to know the name of the person who killed you.

“How can a human being have this kind of power…? , Cough!”

“We are strong because we are human.”

Because unlike you and the monsters, we have nothing.

I struggle like crazy to somehow overcome my limitations and survive.

Wouldn’t it be weirder if I didn’t get stronger?

“Well, that’s right… .”

dump!

Before he could even finish speaking, he collapsed and died.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

A fierce battle ensues.

5th to 13th floors.

One… , No, holy blood that covers a space too wide for a vampire to use.

Defeating them one by one, we finally reached this place.

The titles of those killed so far are three barons, three viscounts, and an earl.

As expected from beings who inherited the blood of their true ancestors, the higher their rank, the stronger they become.

Thanks to this, the damage on our side has been considerable.

“Ugh… , I guess the next battle will be impossible.”

“Me too.”

“Me too.”

One by one, the comrades announce that the battle cannot continue.

They were better though.

The number of comrades who died without even being able to say such a thing is already four.

The departure of personnel means a weakening of power.

However, the enemy has become stronger.

Clap clap clap!

A vampire, somewhere between a young man and a middle-aged man with neatly combed white hair, approaches us, applauding heartily.

“Awesome. I never thought I would kill them all and come all the way up here. Although they may be worse than me, they wouldn’t have been so easily killed.”

I feel an overwhelming power.

If you really want to find something to compare… , grow.

The force he was secretly showing was so strong that even if he was compared to me, he wouldn’t be far behind.

His strength was several levels higher than that of the Count who fought quite hard.

“… Are you a marquis?”

“Yes. I am Vampiric Akkad, the only Marquis of this old castle.”

A lot of leisure time.

If the composure shown by my opponents so far was due to arrogance, my opponent’s composure came from belief in my own abilities.

It means that he is that strong, and that he is fully able to read the opponent’s skills through his momentum.

“Phew… .”

What should I do?

If we fight like this, I don’t think we’ll lose, but it will take quite a long time.

From the corner of my eye, I look up at the ceiling where stone dust occasionally falls.

Coo!

Kugoogung!

The vibrations and waves become more intense as the stairs rise.

An ominous thought that suddenly occurred to me, and while it was gradually becoming concrete, I encountered a difficult enemy.

I tried my head, but no sharp number came to mind.

In the end, we have no choice but to finish him off as quickly as possible.

With that in mind, it was time to calmly gather momentum.

“Dojin.”

Angela, who was next to me, called to me in a low voice.

“Take people up first.”

“… What is that?”

When I asked her in an incredulous tone, she narrowed one eye and continued talking to me.

“I can handle that guy on my own, right? So you go up first.”

It’s not wrong.

With her skills, she could win even if she competed one-on-one with the Marquis.

But it’s not 100%.

“Don’t do that, let’s all get it done quickly and go together.”

When I spoke as if admonishing her, she shook her head firmly.

“No, that’s impossible.”

“… … ”

“You know. If he decides to just waste time, we have no choice but to be dragged along.”

My blind spot was hit.

This was the part I was most worried about.

If that guy takes a long time and you don’t arrive on time.

If my anxious imagination were to become reality, even Francis could be in danger.

But leaving Angela behind… .

It was a time when I was lost for a moment.

“Hey, you really don’t trust me?”

She asks me with an angry face.

I hastily shook my head.

“It’s not that I don’t believe it… .”

Her outstretched index finger blocks my lips.

“That’s enough. If you trust me, go up first.”

“Angela.”

“Uncle Francis… , a person who is like family to me.”

She smiled in a way that was inappropriate for the situation and asked me a favor.

“So you go and help. Please support the back of the old man who is too old to use his strength properly.”

“… … .”

I realized it when I saw that.

It is impossible for anyone in this world to change a hardened heart.

Raise both hands and rub your cheeks hard, engraving it in your mind.

Let’s trust her.

And let’s focus on what we have to do.

After coming to my senses, I nod towards her, who was looking a little dazed.

“I’ll go up first. Instead, let’s just make one promise.”

“Uh… , what is it?”

“Come back alive, limbs intact.”

She pouts and complains.

“What… , If the purchase is not in good condition, are you going to throw it away?”

No way.

“I’ll take care of one side of your arm.”

I used my heart.

“Kkkk… , good. I promise.”

After making an appointment, I turn my back without regret.

The Marquis’s voice is heard from behind.

“Hey, I thought I would let you guys go… , Yikes!”

“Your opponent is me, Marquis Mogi.”

Angela’s voice stopping him.

By the time I took the stairs to the next floor.

Quang!

The sound of a violent collision coming from behind disturbs my mind.

hate.

This moment where you are forced to leave someone behind and have no choice but to trust them.

That’s why I promise.

I will kill all those who aim for mine.

That too, very miserably.

“It goes up.”

I climb the stairs with only that thought in mind.
