    Episode 242 – The Devil Who Drinks Blood 10 –

    “Piella… !”

    In the red-tinged air.

    Blood flowing everywhere.

    Wings on the lower back.

    An alluring smile.

    It’s so irritating that my whole body is telling me to avoid it.

    Paradoxically, it is so stimulating that you feel like you want to get close to it.

    Even though it is closer to death than anything else, the atmosphere is such that such fear is replaced by thrill.

    A beauty that feels contradictory amidst such fear.

    Fiella, the progenitor vampire and great evil that has existed since the beginning.

    She appeared before our eyes through the broken ceiling of the Academy auditorium where the entrance ceremony was held.

    ‘Damn it, what should I do!’

    What if that was a real eponymous vampire and not a highly realized fantasy.

    There is no chance for our side to win.

    To stop that, all ten adults would have to come together.

    Now we have no way to stop Eclipse, the original magic of the founder.

    The best way is for an adult to suppress it through stigmata.

    This means that you cannot use it.

    ‘Should I run away?’

    For a moment, I thought about running away.

    Anyway, my goal is to leave a trace.

    From that perspective, there was no reason to risk one’s life and fight here.

    but.

    ‘Is it really Ayun…? ‘Would you like it?’

    People define family as a close relationship connected by blood.

    So, is the family in my current body really my family?

    If we only consider blood relations, aren’t our family members in Korea any longer our family?

    The conclusion I came to was no.

    Both families are my family.

    Even if they are not related through blood, such as through adoption.

    If you have lived together for a long time, you can call them family.

    The Earth family too.

    Imperial family too.

    They considered me family and we lived together for a long time.

    And the enemy of that family is right in front of you.

    ‘okay. ‘There are very few people anymore who will be sad because they die anyway.’

    Mother too.

    Father too.

    Brother too.

    Abraak fact too.

    Irene too.

    Even Alice.

    He would have died here.

    Now, even if I die, there is no one who will mourn me anymore.

    At most, there will be Theseus or Lucas left.

    However, if they cannot stop the progenitor here, they will die.

    In other words, I have to stop it.

    Chuck ㅡ

    I drew my sword and glared at my opponent.

    The goal is an object floating in the sky.

    The purpose you want to achieve is exactly that. Killing the target.

    I turned my head and looked at Maximilian.

    He looked at me as if he felt the same way.

    You have to do it anyway.

    Let’s make it at least a possibility.

    “Let’s go.”

    “Eggplant.”

    The odds of winning are low anyway.

    It is none other than the progenitor vampire.

    Even though the first saint, who is said to be the second most powerful after the sword saint, had an advantage in terms of compatibility.

    An entity that should have been sealed rather than destroyed.

    If it was fully revived, it would not be easy to win even if the Sword Saint came.

    That monster would be on the same level as the Sword Saint even if we hit it less.

    That’s why you can’t run away.

    There’s no way I can survive if I run away.

    “You know, right? We are going to die soon.”

    “I know.”

    “For now, let’s leave a will. One of the two will die shortly after the other dies. I’m not going to remember it for a little longer.”

    “Is that so? Then you speak first. Because you will die first.”

    “The will. I will remember.”

    If you die anyway.

    I will die leaving hope behind.

    Either just die, or die while causing the enemy even a little trouble.

    Maximilian and I chose to die without causing even a little trouble to the enemy.

    Wow~

    The auror comes out of the body and dyes the sword blue.

    In the dim darkness of the progenitor vampire, only Maximilian’s sword and I were the only light that illuminated the surroundings.

    Holding tight to our last hope.

    We rushed.

    Towards an opponent that can never be defeated.

    That’s how the battle began.

    ===========

    “… Is something strange?”

    “I see.”

    The battle lasted several minutes.

    We felt strange.

    That thing you see now is clearly the progenitor vampire.

    First of all, that thing was a vampire.

    A unique magic that cannot be reproduced was used.

    Lastly, it looks exactly like the ancestral vampire, Fiella.

    That’s why Maximilian and I both thought that this being was the progenitor vampire.

    But the problem was not that trivial.

    “coming.”

    The worst~

    The founder immediately forged his own shadow into a spear.

    He added his own blood to it, forged it much sharper, and threw it at us.

    Yes.

    That was the problem.

    It’s too simple to be a progenitor’s attack method.

    It was too weak.

    After we casually dodged the progenitor’s attack.

    He approached the founder through support in the air.

    Sigh ㅡ

    The founder’s skin is cut.

    Between them, green onions burst out.

    However, soon after, the blood enters the progenitor’s flesh again and the flesh closes.

    The founder’s immortality remained the same.

    The abilities were still the same.

    But the point is that it just stares at us without saying anything.

    Due to various other reasons, we kept asking questions.

    ‘Only high-ranking vampires can handle the darkness. Besides, in order for your body to recover that quickly, you have to be at the level of a roadie.

    Lords are not decorated like Sijo. That’s a sijo, but… but… ‘

    Why are you so weak?

    Such questions surrounded Abraxas and Maximilian.

    That being is clearly the progenitor.

    However, there are no words and the attack pattern is monotonous.

    The firepower is actually weak.

    Even compared to the road, there is no way to compare it.

    There was no way such a thing could be Sijo.

    It was clearly supposed to be a sijo, but no matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t a sijo.

    That made our stay a little longer.

    Kang ㅡ

    But that didn’t mean we won.

    We were clearly heading towards defeat.

    Originally our goal was to buy time.

    Anyway, I don’t have any divine power right now. We cannot annihilate vampires beyond a certain level.

    To annihilate a vampire, burn it with divine power, the power of restoration.

    Erase the mystery of vampires with a special mystery.

    There was no choice but to attack indefinitely until the vampire’s blood disappeared.

    This was especially true if the opponent was Fiella, the progenitor vampire whose strength was limited by the sunlight but who moved normally.

    Even more so now that night has come due to the eclipse.

    “It’s another attack.”

    “Still, more and more difficult attacks are coming.”

    Nevertheless, the reason we are taking so much time is at least because we believe in the empire.

    The guardian of the World Tree and the Sword Saint of the Sword.

    Everyone will take revenge if we die.

    It is said that the Academy was created by the founder’s magic.

    The Empire will soon realize that news from the Academy has been cut off.

    Reinforcements, including Geomseong, will arrive soon.

    Even if we die, if the vampires remain here until then.

    At least revenge will be achieved.

    I don’t know if we can endure the increasingly intense attacks for long.

    “Still, it’s a good thing. It seems like it lasted longer than expected.”

    “The results are the same, but would you say that’s a good thing?”

    “The goal was to inflict maximum damage to the enemy. If it was successful, it’s done.”

    “That’s right.”

    We both looked at each other.

    Now is the time to end it.

    Just before my stamina runs out.

    There is no point in wasting any more time.

    While checking each other’s gaze.

    They were about to start our last stand.

    “Wait.”

    It was that moment.

    Someone stopped us.

    I looked back, wondering if it was reinforcements.

    That thought was correct.

    What was standing behind us now.

    This was the reinforcement I had been waiting for so long.

    “President!”

    President of Imperial Academy.

    The person who put me in this academy.

    Sergey Darmore.

    Maximilian, seeing his face, shouted.

    “Luckily, it doesn’t seem to be too late. I know why you did this, but there’s no need to do that.”

    Sergei pointed to Sijo as if trying to explain something.

    The image of Sijo caught our eyes.

    That can never be said to be normal.

    “That sijo is not in proper condition. Without any sense, I am just wielding my power as directed. My unique magic also works on the mysterious progenitor.

    But there was no emotional disturbance whatsoever. So, it is just a mass of power that moves without any reason.”

    The president continued to speak even more hopeful words after that.

    Sijo has no will.

    That means lack of local technology.

    It means that we can deal with it well.

    “And requested reinforcements through the emergency communication network. 1 hour at most. Reinforcements will come there and the vampires will be exterminated.”

    Even more hopeful words followed.

    And that wasn’t the end.

    “I was worried, but I’m glad. That husk wearing the founder’s mask fought with me. And flew straight away.

    I quickly recovered my body with a healing potion, but luckily you guys were there to fight.”

    “It flew right away?”

    “Yes. I saw that it flew away and went into the hole in the ceiling. If you listen to the sounds after that, it seems like you guys were holding on.”

    I was taken aback for a moment and asked the president.

    The president supplemented the explanation as if he understood.

    The idea was that since we had done a good job, we should move on to the next step.

    However, I am more concerned about the president’s words that Sijo is not in the right condition and that reinforcements are coming.

    I had no choice but to focus on other words.

    [The founder had been fighting with the president just now and flew into the auditorium as the president retreated.]

    My family is still alive.
