The Owner of True Blood

The living blood started demanding quest items from me.

To be exact, a hidden quest.

[Absorb Blood of the Vampiric Race]

As Doctor Haven said, collect the blood of the vampiric race scattered throughout Deron and absorb it into the existing blood.

Separate purification is required.

Human 0/1

Beast 0/1

Demon 0/1

Dragon 0/1

Fairy 0/1

Elf 0/1

“Euuugh…”

I groaned while looking at the list the quest demanded.

Even though I’d been all over the new expansion areas, I hadn’t encountered a single demon-type monster that had mutated into a vampire.

I know where to find a dragon, though.

The vampiric dragon, Bahamut.

That bastard was the dragon that mutated into a vampire.

To think they’d make the achievement item for a hidden quest obtainable in a raid dungeon.

I let out a sigh of relief.

If I had started this quest any later, I might not have been able to get the blood of a vampiric dragon, and I would have had to waste a week.

I shook my head and headed out to the hunting grounds.

I’ll just do as much as I can for now.

It’s fine if the quest gets blocked halfway through. Anyway, I had fun while doing this quest.

Immersion is necessary to enjoy the game more and for longer.

I slowly took a breath and started to fall into my setting.

The youngest genius Archmage, Yeon-i Gongju-nim, is trying to grow a suspicious blood at the request of the Adventurer’s Guild.

Good. I nodded and added to this setting.

“Heuum…”

Arriving at the hunting grounds, I squatted down and touched the ground.

The damp and sticky dirt floor.

The faint smell also contained the stench of blood.

People, no, not just people. The blood of other living things was also mixed with the soil around here.

I came to the right place.

[Keureureuk…]

A small whimper coming from beyond the dark forest stimulates my ears.

It was definitely the cry of a vampiric race.

I slowly got up and took out my staff.

I imagine the battle that will take place. The monsters that will appear are elves mutated into vampires.

Despite their nickname of being neighbors of the forest, these mutated vampires were scattering contaminated blood throughout the forest, dyeing the entire forest with the color of death.

Beyond the dark bushes, the vampiric elves stood there.

The bright blue eyes that used to be there are gone. What replaced them was only the red eyes of a madman who had lost his reason.

Not even the eyes of a cunning demon. Only instincts remain, the eyes of a hideous monster that fills its belly.

Hwareureureuk!

As if reacting to my emotions, the mana around my body fluctuated and created a huge flame.

As the hot flames brightly illuminated the surroundings, the scene beyond the forest became clear.

The corpses of animals scattered on the floor and the elven race squatting around them.

Their once brilliant hair was covered in blood and dirt, making them look very dirty.

There’s no way those are elves.

I took a deep breath and opened my mouth.

“Shadow of the Dark King… that cuts through the sky…”

Kwaaaaa!

The casting of powerful magic began to affect the surrounding environment.

A strong wind blew, causing the robe I was wearing to flutter greatly, and shaking the pointy hat I was wearing.

But the incantation did not stop.

“The hellfire that burns even the souls of the gods…”

[Kieeeeeek!]

That’s when it happened.

Perhaps sensing the operation of the huge magic power, the vampiric elves began to run towards me.

But it doesn’t matter.

The magic has already reached the completion stage.

“Appear in this place right now. Hell Fire!!!”

[Elemental Flame]

Paaaaat!

From the huge magic circle that appeared in the air, hot hellfire began to pour out.

The huge flame swallowed even the forest behind the vampiric elves.

[Kkieeeeek!]

The elves covered in hellfire screamed loudly and slowly began to fall.

It’s quite a satisfying sight.

I smiled as arrogantly as possible and swept my hair back.

The long, flowing black hair went back, revealing the small horns on my forehead.

That’s when it happened.

The bushes rustled and someone appeared.

“You are…”

“Ah… I’m sorry… Were you hunting?”

What came out of the bushes was an ordinary user.

I was lost in thought for a moment while looking at him.

I was wondering whether to maintain the concept as it is, or to return to my original self and have a normal conversation.

Of course, the thought didn’t last long.

Because I am now the youngest Archmage, a beautiful girl.

“Thou art…”

I frowned as I looked at his attire.

Two daggers hanging long at the waist.

Anyone could tell he was a rogue.

Children of darkness who hide in the dark and rummage through the pockets of passersby to make a living.

Yeon-i Gongju-nim, whose lineage is noble, hated these rogues very much.

I don’t even talk to them.

“Get out of the way, rogue.”

“Huh…?”

“You’re in the way. Get out of the way if you don’t want to die.”

“Ah… Yeah… What a crazy bitch…”

The rogue grumbled impudently, turned around, and walked away.

I wanted to ask him about the sin of grumbling in front of me, but I barely endured and was able to hold back.

Yeon-i Gongju-nim has a noble lineage. Therefore, I also had to understand the rude behavior of the ignorant with a generous heart.

I turned my head the other way and took a breath.

Aren’t they ignorant because they haven’t learned? It was perhaps natural that they didn’t recognize the greatness of a mage.

I nodded with my arms crossed.

Even though I used a huge area-of-effect magic, I couldn’t collect the blood of the elven race that I wanted.

It wasn’t because I incinerated them without a trace, but because the drop rate for the quest item was quite low.

I guess I’ll have to stay here all day today.

I spread my arms wide and walked forward.

Tat- tat- tat-

The hem of the robe dragging on the floor was quite annoying.

***

After the raid was suspended, the next day in the evening.

The promised time has finally arrived.

The time given to the raid members was not short.

Exactly one day was enough time for the raid members who changed their jobs to become familiar with those jobs.

At least, that’s what I thought.

[Absorb Blood of the Vampiric Race]

As Doctor Haven said, collect the blood of the vampiric race scattered throughout Deron and absorb it into the existing blood.

Separate purification is required.

Human 1/1

Beast 1/1

Demon 0/1

Dragon 0/1

Fairy 1/1

Elf 1/1

Even as the raid time approached, the progress of the hidden quest did not stop.

As a result, I was able to collect quite a lot of vampiric blood and feed it to the living blood.

“You’re a cute mage-chan, aren’t you?”

That’s when it happened.

With a lively voice, the Snow Mage approached.

Perhaps feeling a sense of kinship with my job, she was smiling brighter than usual.

“Go back to your seat and wait. I need to check the headcount.”

“Neeet!”

The Snow Mage answered my words cheerfully and returned to her seat.

I turned my head and checked the other raid members.

Those who changed jobs.

They were originally raid members who were tankers and healers.

They were looking at the other raid members with slightly nervous expressions.

Stiff and unnatural.

It seems that participating in today’s raid as a dealer is quite a burden.

But don’t worry. If you can just do it normally, if you can just do it around average, you’ll be able to get past the second named monster very easily.

Of course, I wasn’t planning on just passing by.

“Is everyone used to it?”

“I can’t confidently say that I’m used to it… But I’ve tried to find out as much as possible and practiced.”

“There’s no need to be nervous. If the DPS is not enough, I’ll fill it in for you.”

“You will, Raid Leader-nim…?”

I smiled confidently and tapped my chest with a confident expression.

It probably doesn’t look very trustworthy because I’m not a tanker.

That’s because I’m a very small beautiful girl mage, isn’t it?

The people who were slightly stiff burst into small laughter, as if their tension had been relieved by my appearance.

That was enough.

I nodded satisfactorily and shifted my gaze.

I check the appearance of Hwarang, who is hiding among the raid members.

Even though he’s pretending not to be, he’s also concerned about the showdown with me.

I know that bastard better than anyone else in this world.

I will never lose.

I glared at Hwarang and opened my mouth.

“Then let’s all depart!”

It’s awkward to lead the 1st Raid as a mage.

But without showing it, I walked forward energetically and jumped into the entrance of the dungeon.

That’s when it happened.

From behind, I heard the Snow Mage’s horrified voice.

“Aaaak-!”

When I turned my gaze, the Snow Mage was looking at me with a pale face.

I let out a small sigh.

The Snow Mage probably wanted to know what kind of panties I was wearing when I tried to enter by jumping.

But too bad, the robe I’m wearing wasn’t an outfit that could live up to the Snow Mage’s expectations.

“Yeona.”

“Huh?”

It was Helena who spoke to me.

She was smiling as if she was satisfied with something.

“Aren’t you thinking of wearing clothes like that on your main character too?”

“Clothes like this?”

I looked down at my clothes at Helena’s words.

It’s a unique mage robe that mages wear. It wouldn’t suit my main character, who is a warrior.

It was clear that it would interfere with movement.

“No. It’s uncomfortable to move around in.”

In fact, it was uncomfortable even now.

The slightly large sleeves of the robe kept swallowing my hands, which was quite annoying.

I flapped my arms and took my hands out.

While talking with Helena like that, I was able to reach the vampiric dragon Bahamut without any interference.

Bahamut was lying in a large room, crouching his huge body.

“Then let’s start right away! Dogric-nim, please start!”

The start of the battle always starts with the main tanker’s departure, just like me.

Dogric, who had returned to the position of main tanker, showed a slightly nervous look and walked forward.

[Kkwaaaaaak!]

The vampiric dragon Bahamut roared, and the battle began.

I immediately spread my hands and began to cast various spells.

“Hiyaaaap!”

“Yeona…”

I ignored Helena’s words.

I know.

That you don’t need a shout during the casting of magic skills.

It was okay not to remind me by saying it.

Just… I just want to do it.

“Take this!”

Shuung-!

The moment I let out a big shout, a huge fireball appeared from the end of the staff and was quickly fired towards Bahamut.

Of course, you don’t need a shout even when the magic skill is completed.

Helena used the same skill at the same time as me.

It couldn’t be helped.

That’s because all the mage DPS cycles I use are learned from Helena.

I use the same skill as Helena at the same time.

The timing of drinking mana potions and recovering was also the same.

“Hayaaaat!”

I felt like I was getting closer to Helena.
