Episode 243 – The Devil Who Drinks Blood 11 –

I don’t know what happened.

But I could clearly see it.

Sijo just came here.

They confronted us there.

In other words, this auditorium was empty before then.

Considering that it took 3 to 5 minutes to arrive after the incident, it made no sense to even remove the bodies inside.

I don’t know if it’s Sijo.

However, this may not be true because the sijo is not in the right condition and is said to have just arrived.

In other words, my family was clearly still alive.

“So are you planning to deal with Sijo now? I won’t stop you though. Reckless.”

“If you hold on as long as possible, you will be able to resolve it. There is still room to endure that much.”

“But what to do next? There are other vampires here. They’re not here yet, but there’s always room for intervention.

Currently, those who are already dying are dead and those who will live are in a safe place. There is no need to fight.”

“Can I contact you?”

“The founder is a being that existed tens of thousands of years ago. There’s no way there was a communicator back in the day when something like that existed. So, Sijo’s original magic does not block the communication network at all.”

“Because unique magic is based on the concept… ”

Maximilian and Sergei were continuing their conversation.

It seemed like he was trying to decide how to deal with the current situation.

But time was not on our side.

Strategically speaking, time is on our side.

Tactically, our enemy was time.

It wasn’t long before the body of the progenitor vampire was ready to attack.

Immediately, a huge army of shadows and blood was created.

Those created through shadows rushed towards us.

Perhaps because he was being manipulated, it took time to use the correct technique.

“First of all… Let’s avoid it.”

No one said anything, though.

Our actions were naturally determined.

getaway.

That was the path we took right away.

=========

“So, can you briefly explain it? How many troops arrived?”

“I don’t know exactly. However, if you look at the way they are moving the sleeping progenitor while they are moving around, there must be one or two rods involved. At least they also have political power. It’s hard to do something like this without a load.”

What he said made sense.

I want to deny it, but there is definitely a road in this land.

There is no comparison in load.

It is a natural disaster and a living massacre.

It is an intelligent being that does not know the human mind.

The creature closest to the devil.

Monsters who eat cannibalism not out of malice, but just to survive.

In some ways, they are the closest to sin among all known beings.

Hitler was also treated as the worst dictator because he killed 7 million people.

Rod would have killed hundreds of millions of individuals.

To think that such a being could exist within this academy.

I didn’t feel very good.

‘Even if you only have one rod, your chances of winning are half and half. Or do you want it to be lower?’

I don’t know the firepower of the rod, but the problem is its invulnerability.

Rod boasts tremendous resilience, even if it is not as strong as the progenitor.

However, under sunlight, its strength is weakened like that of an ordinary vampire.

There is no road that wants to fight enemies under the sunlight.

“So what should we do? It looks like it’s following me right now?”

The founder’s shell was chasing us who had run away.

It was like a horror movie.

A feeling of approaching fear that cannot be faced.

The fact that it couldn’t be killed was also the same as that resisting it was useless.

All you can do is run away.

for a moment… escape?

‘no way… ?’

Just in case, I relayed the information to Sergei and Maximilian via telegraph.

-Maybe that founder… You’re not doing this to find out where people took refuge, are you?

“!”

“!!!”

Sergei and Maximilian, who were running away desperate for their lives, were taken aback by those words.

It seems like I was in a hurry and couldn’t remember it.

I thought my family was dead but they came back to life, so I was able to put my family first in my mind.

Other people might not have been able to think of it sufficiently.

Because the purpose endures.

-That’s definitely true. I was missing it.

Sijo came to the auditorium where people were gathered.

And the ceiling of the auditorium was already broken and people were missing.

Then, that would mean that the people in the auditorium would not know where they had gone.

Maybe not.

But I couldn’t explain why it suddenly flew into the auditorium instead of chasing Sergei.

Going to a place where people had evacuated was suicidal.

-There is adequate space. This is a space prepared by the Academy in case of an emergency. It is a kind of underground passageway. If you use that place, you can escape without being noticed by the founder.

-Why on earth does a space like that exist in the academy? When you spend making something like that, you put more effort into security, right? How many times does it break through?

-The Academy is now a facility located in the center of the empire, but in the past it was near the border during the kingdom. Because it was a military facility built near the border, it had excellent security and was made into an academy.

That is why there are many various military-related facilities. As time goes by, it loses meaning and is rarely used within the Academy. In times like this, it’s useful.

Wow, these facilities have been forgotten due to the advancement of technology.

These are truly desirable settings.

If I were a student instead of a 45-year-old man, my heart would tremble with a sense of adventure.

Unfortunately, he was a man with an old spirit whose romance with adventure had already faded.

I decided to find the romance of adventure later, but for now, I focused on my goal.

-Then let’s go there. Because that seems to be the best way now. It would be right to do so until we find out the purpose of their invasion.

-To agree. Then, let’s turn very slowly. So much so that you don’t even notice it.

The operation was reorganized.

Now it was time to move on.

They headed down a different path so slowly that the founder did not notice the sudden change.

===========

“So is there really a moon blood here?”

“You are saying the obvious. Why would we have set up a plan to invade an academy that would not cause much damage to the empire when we had nothing to do with it?”

In a dark space that exists somewhere.

Luciano, the leader of the vampire lords, and Dmitri, the commander of the Lion Legion, talked.

The space clearly exists, and that’s probably why they can come inside.

An infinite void covered this land, as if it did not exist.

The conversation continued in a space where neither the entrance nor the exit was visible.

“The majority of places where monthly blood is stored are protected by proper facilities. However, the academy is a facility that must be protected from the start. The moon blood left there is very safe.

In addition, there is a barrier there that blocks the Holy Hwangcheong and various stigmata, so it will be possible to reliably block the support of the Holy Hwangcheong. This is the most important place.”

“No matter how you look at it, it seems like you were easily pierced by the progenitor’s magic. To say that the monthly blood was stored. The rod didn’t even appear, but it was easily breached.”

“The facility here was originally meant to store the moon blood and prevent the resurrection of the progenitor. It’s not a role to deal with the revived progenitor. This would be the same at any other military facility.

It’s just that the academy was used for gambling by imperial nobles, and since the inside of the Holy Emperor’s Office cannot be seen even with the Stigmata, this was decided as the location for the operation.”

Dmitry tried to persuade Luciano somehow.

For the real plan he had in mind, Luciano, the leader of the vampires, had to be fooled.

“So how did you get the information that Wolhyeol was here? According to common sense, there seems to be no reason to put something like that in a place for educational purposes.”

Luciano was truly accurate and sharp.

As he said, there is no such thing as monthly blood at the academy.

The best way to be safe is to strengthen security.

It’s best to just avoid being attacked.

In fact, in a place where security was broken, there was a place that was able to survive without being attacked until the end.

Because it was not a large group armed with great security, but the home of an ordinary person who seemed to have nothing to rob.

But Dmitri also had a way to explain it.

“This academy site used to be a military base. During the kingdom era, it was in charge of the border, but as it became an empire, its territory expanded and it became a military facility closer to an institution.

And in the past, when the emperor was trying to build an academy, this place caught his eye. Because it is a military facility, safety is guaranteed to a certain degree, and because it is a product of the kingdom era, all manuals were available.”

“What does that have to do with monthly blood?”

“According to the information we obtained, since it was a military facility located inside the empire, the monthly blood was stored there. But when the emperor tried to build an academy there, a problem arose.

It was a plan on how to deal with monthly blood. And the Emperor’s choice was to just leave it as is, as there was a possibility that it would be lost if the Wolhyeol was moved.”

“I guess so because if we don’t take any special action, we can feel the location of the moon blood.”

“Yes. And anyway, the location of Wolhyeol should not be known. They also gradually hid the information that there was a moon blood in the academy itself. As the people involved are reduced one by one, they are forgotten.”

Hmm…

As Luciano was lost in thought, Dmitri did his best to shorthand the situation.

I constantly wondered if I had done something wrong.

“Then let’s move on.”

Fortunately, Luciano passed.

Because Dmitry was no match for him.

There was something unclear.

His decision was that he could raise the issue at that time.

And so Luciano left.

It was still pitch black at the academy.
