Episode 244 – The Devil Who Drinks Blood 12 –

The place we arrived at at the end of our patience was a seemingly ordinary place.

Just a ruin where the dusty wind tickles your nose.

This place is almost like evidence of sabotage by the academy’s managers.

It was the place we had targeted.

-Is this here? Is there any evidence that the Academy embezzled the taxes of the people of the empire?

-It was originally built hundreds of years ago, so even if there was embezzlement, the citizens of the empire were not embezzled. Even if you are a citizen of the kingdom, you don’t know.

And since there were no instructions for repairs anyway, it wasn’t embezzlement to begin with.

Even a quick look at the ruins, which seemed inaccessible to anyone, was a mess.

No, it’s called a ruin because it’s a mess.

Just a moment to think about it or something like that.

The darkness that would push us into an endless void was still approaching us.

Darkness, shaped like a tsunami, was rising.

Even though it was clearly a night without any light, darkness was creeping up on the ground.

“Let’s go.”

When you think of a tsunami, you think of a huge tidal wave.

People who hear that a tsunami is not a wave but the sea level itself moving also have that image.

But a tsunami is not that concept.

A huge amount of water does not look like a tsunami in the first place.

At first, it felt like water gently rising.

As it is, everything is shaking and it becomes a ship without a crew.

So is darkness.

The darkness is so vast that its extent is unknown.

Only one side of the quietly rising darkness is visible.

It was at that moment that we entered the interior of the shelter.

A place where it is dark and hard to see.

It is a very dangerous space because it cannot be distinguished from the darkness controlled by the founder.

Nevertheless, there is no choice but to enter this place due to possible danger.

I went in there.

-Even if the founder can see the darkness well, he has only one body. If you go through the designated area, you will end up missing it.

The method explained by the president here was simple.

It is said that the closer to north according to the compass, the truer the road.

Of course, there is no way to know where north is from inside, so it is useless without a compass.

Because the information was so simple, it was easy to pass on in case of emergency, so only the commander knew it.

Therefore, it is said that it is still not well known due to low information leakage.

-There are so many different paths here. No matter how progenitor he is, if he is in that mental state, he will not have the ability to perceive space at a more advanced level than a certain level. If they scatter, it becomes difficult to find them.

In the end, it was a call to disperse.

In the dark, the Sijo’s sensing ability is maximized.

It is said that if they are scattered, the ancestors may end up overloaded and take the wrong path.

Since there was no other way, I did it right away.

Chak-

Even though there are many different paths, I choose the complicated path, like a twisted intestine.

I entered a contradictory space called a maze, artificially created by humans for movement.

There was only darkness.

Perhaps it was true that it had been neglected for hundreds of years, but there was really only darkness.

Not a single speck of light came in.

I was only able to understand the terrain through the sense of aura that came from strengthening my aura.

The three headed there by different paths.

Although they were clearly facing forward, all three of them had no idea which path they were taking.

I could only hope from afar that the chosen paths were all safe.

So I followed the path using the compass.

Continuing toward the north, we attempted to advance further and further through passages closer to the north.

It feels like darkness is slowly falling.

I couldn’t sense anything, but it felt like the air was blocked.

Usually, an oyster this big has its own wind flow.

Not feeling it meant that the cave I was in wasn’t a big cave.

It won’t be long before those concerns are repaid.

I could feel the collapsed remains in front of me.

This must have been the one closest to the north.

Perhaps the crypt had collapsed due to being neglected for hundreds of years.

Even if you hear a sound, you have to dig out the hole quickly…

Shashashak ㅡ

haha. I’m bored.

Unfortunately, it seemed that Sijo was following me.

To welcome her, I created a small light source from the tip of my finger.

Drip, drip

The sound of red colored liquid falling is heard.

The liquid fell to the floor and was absorbed into the soil.

Eventually, thanks to the vampire’s control, it rose into the air again and entered the vampire’s body.

This could also be said to be a cycle.

Whatever the circumstances, I met Sijo.

“Hahaha. Is this your first time actually seeing this up close? Isn’t that right, the progenitor vampire Fiella?”

Of course, Sijo said nothing.

She kept coming.

“I think it is better to see it with the naked eye than on a monitor that has only 144 frames at most.”

Even if she was conscious, she wouldn’t have understood.

I thought it was at least her last will and continued her words.

“I’m going to die anyway. At least this ending isn’t bad.”

Back, left, right, up, down. Everything is blocked.

The only open space is the front, which is thicker than the wall and blocks what is suffocating me.

Although it takes on a human form, it does not have a human mind.

Now a disaster that even the reason of an intelligent being could not possess was approaching to crush me.

do not resist

It will all end anyway.

Although I tried so hard to live a good life, the ending was in vain.

What do you think?

‘At least it’s better than the last death, right?’

This life is the second life given to me.

A life that was never given to you originally.

You can’t complain that the end of such a life was insignificant.

“Thank you all.”

Although no one will hear it, he left his own will so that at least we can hear that he did not die an ugly death in the end.

Sijo slowly walked towards me and started scattering darkness.

Please let me die comfortably.

With that thought in mind, I closed my eyes and accepted my death.

Tukㅡ

I felt something touch my chest.

I felt it through the expanded energy I had already felt, and it seemed like it was probably a fist.

and…

“Keokㅡ”

Unknown information began to flow into my head.

It was an unpleasant sensation, similar to an image being punched into my brain.

Something is strange…

‘This… ‘

And with the information coming into my head.

I felt my consciousness gradually moving away from my body.

With my eyes closing, I mustered the last of my strength and looked up at her.

She is unconscious because she has not yet recovered all her monthly blood.

The sight of her staring with all her might…

It wasn’t there anywhere.

“… Huh.”

With a laugh that comes out of nowhere.

My consciousness completely said goodbye to my body.

==========

“Hmm… That’s strange.”

“What is the problem?”

Luciano and Dmitri continued speaking in the vast and vast darkness.

Dmitri must have sensed something strange and explained the situation to Luciano in a puzzled manner.

“The connection with the progenitor was lost. It’s not exactly cut off… What should I say… Should I say it suddenly stopped?”

“There are times when those great techniques stop working. For something that was praised as being so great, it’s not that great.”

“The principle of this technique is similar to how vampires turn humans into blood demons. Through mystery, control is filled with mystery.

So, in most cases, there won’t be any problems. To explain it in an easy-to-understand way, rather than thinking of a vampire suddenly dying, you can think of it as suddenly not being a vampire.”

“The mystery is gone.”

“And in most cases, it is because another mystery has driven out the mystery.”

Mystery is the power to achieve what cannot be achieved based on ideas.

Therefore, naturally, mysteries are influenced by the same mysteries.

Ideas can easily create the opposite situation more easily than reality.

Unless they are exactly the same mysteries, they repel each other and the strong mysteries suppress the weak ones.

Such a situation would have happened to Sijo now.

“It doesn’t make sense. It is normal for the progenitor, who regained some consciousness through your power, to be immune to any mysteries.

In your case, the progenitor was unconscious and therefore defenseless, but in the current case, if you remove the mystery that penetrated in advance, no mystery will be able to drive it out.”

“So I also have doubts. If the progenitor has even the slightest bit of consciousness, he can push away the mysteries of the progenitor with just force, but where on earth is that?

Strangely, after going underground, I can’t monitor the situation in the dark.”

“The inherent magic power is fine, so the possibility of him being an adult is low. Is there anything that comes to mind?”

Luciano asked Dmitri, who knew more about humans than he did.

However, Dmitry was also in the dark about this incident.

“I really don’t know. Excluding the heavenly gods, there is only one mystery that is higher than the founder.”

“What is it?”

“For example… ”

He explained his guess to Luciano.

“The power of an evil spirit.”

That guess may be closest to the truth.
