Episode 267 – The Devil Who Drinks Blood 35 –

“It’s the sun!!!!!”

“The moon is gone!!!!!”

It was only after seeing the miracle that people began to go crazy.

Night that exists during the day.

The moon took the place of the sun.

Originally, this would have happened only once every few decades.

However, unique magic forces such things to happen.

Eclipse, the original magic sword of the founder.

It was finally dismantled.

“Princess Alice… Now what… !”

“There are many urgent things right now, but send everyone to the auditorium except for the very few priests and combat troops who will protect this place. I don’t know what happened there. You have to go there and finish it.”

“But it could be dangerous if there are any remaining forces. No matter how important follow-up actions are, if the princess actually has a problem… ”

“What on earth is the problem?”

Chuck ㅡ

Alice answered by pointing to the sky.

“The sun was bright. Among those remaining here, there are no vampires with any significant level of power left, except for Lord. And that load can be controlled by my power of control.

You might be worried about the legion of dead people. Their main forces are also in my hands. So it’s not that big of a problem.”

“But… ”

“And even if there are residual forces, what is the point? Is there any reason why we shouldn’t go to the auditorium?”

It seemed as if the people around him had not thought about those words.

He reacted by realizing something.

“Originally, we were sheltering in the auditorium. But the place became dangerous, so they ran away. On the other hand, if you think about it, there is a high probability that it will be safe now, so it is right to head there.

Aren’t we destined to go there anyway? So do it. That’s the right way I think… ”

What she said was reasonable.

At least I could understand why she wanted to go back to the auditorium.

Safety elsewhere was unknown.

But now at least Sijo has been neutralized.

So, if we go now, the auditorium will be relatively safe.

In addition, the fact that it was relatively close to the place I had run away from was also a plus.

“Let’s go for now. To end everything.”

At this point, the progenitor’s unique magic has ended.

The entire academy force headed back to where Abraxas was.

==========

“It’s daytime.”

A day that had not been seen for a long time has arrived.

I was filled with emotion at that sight and said to myself.

The time when the sun was absent was actually shorter than the actual night.

It felt like I had lost the sun for a very long time.

Is this the difference between something that was arbitrarily taken away and something that never existed in the first place?

Of course, it may be difficult to compare one-to-one because the night time could have been longer than normal.

“And now, will you come out soon? Is it obvious that you’re holding your breath?”

All vampires below Elder have been extinct under the sun, so there is no need to worry.

It doesn’t really matter since Elders are actually at the same level as ordinary people with no power.

Rod’s strength has probably weakened, so he can easily deal with it.

Now, among those who invaded the academy, only one group remained.

“Necrophobes* trying to satisfy my strange tendencies with corpses?”

Necrophobia: Feeling sexually excited about dead things (Ex: undead).

A term that is clearly distinct from necrophilia, which refers to having sex with a corpse.

Those who try to continue a twisted form of eternal life by manipulating the dead.

Legion of the dead.

The so-called Lion Corps remained.

“Honestly, no one would be excited to see the founder’s resurrection… I think Mr. Dmitry is alive too?”

Dmitry’s ability is resurrection, although it is conditional.

It’s really crazy that they had to mess with their souls to do that.

Because the progenitor does not know about that ability.

He would have survived even the progenitor’s attack.

“What the hell are you… What kind of being is this? You are truly an amazing being.”

An old-fashioned way of speaking.

When I looked in the direction where the voice was coming from, a corpse in the shape of a slightly younger woman appeared.

It was rotten in several places.

Some parts were so badly corrupted that it was hard to tell who it was.

I knew who it was.

“Good. So what do you plan on doing? You don’t really have an answer right now. The vampires were wiped out, and even your forces wasted too much power here.

I can’t ignore this. I’m alive and well, the remaining troops from the academy will be here soon, and even the priests can use their power because the inherent magic is gone. It’s a dilemma.”

How many generals will face situations like this where there is no answer?

General Hannibal, who fought against Rome.

A comparison would be made with General Yi Sun-jin, who could not expect supplies due to fighting the enemy and political conflicts with his allies, the government.

Of course, the unfortunate thing is that the Lion Corps, which had not learned formal strategy, would not have had a general who could overturn this level of power.

“There is no answer. It really fits us perfectly. You are probably right. We were defeated.”

“It’s good to admit it. It is to the point where one wonders why such people ignore all the moderate measures advocated by the Seonghwangcheong and only show fanatical behavior.”

Seonghwangcheong is not incompetent.

They see the future, and by appropriately adjusting the future they see, they make it into something that never existed.

Among the futures that have disappeared.

In some cases, the ‘utopia’ they envisioned was distorted.

And Seong Hwang-cheong, who is no idiot, would have found a way to make good use of it.

Seonghwangcheong, which was involved in the accident, had been in contact with the military several times.

The dirt left behind while cleaning.

Because it symbolizes cleanliness, not the insult of dirt.

Seonghwangcheong contacted them, but they refused.

I said that sarcastically.

however.

It was as if he coolly admitted defeat.

Seonghwangcheong also readily acknowledged this.

“At least I don’t hate Seonghwangcheong. Even if they don’t understand us, there’s no way I can’t understand them.

The peace they are trying to achieve is the right law, but they themselves know that it cannot be achieved. Isn’t that why they at least entrusted themselves to an empire rather than their own country in order to maintain their purity? ”

He continued talking further.

“Sin abounds in this land. Even these days, many people have become secular and think original sin itself is strange. Just as the guilt-by-association system has been abolished, does it make sense for original sin to be inherited from parents?

But original sin is not that concept. Originally, there would have been no sin in one’s life, but as one was affected by sin, one eventually lost the ability not to commit sin.”

“I’m not really interested in talking about theology. Honestly, how amazing is something like that?”

“Yes. It’s a meaningless law. In the end, those who are saved are determined… Even though God exists, there are many people who ignore it.”

The words are strangely flowing.

I don’t know what the heck you want to say.

You can just kill it.

But I wanted to at least listen to the end and go.

Why on earth do you want it so much?

“Humans will ultimately live in sin. If you were to ask whether even the good saints and saints were innocent, they would answer no.

Hell is certain for everyone. No one knows that they can go to heaven.”

“So since we can’t trust God, let’s live forever on this earth, overcoming death?”

“That’s not the concept. Why on earth can’t I believe in God? But can you be sure? Do you really think that you can be saved after atonement for all your sins?

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Their goal is to bring death to everyone.

Forcibly holding souls on this earth. To eliminate the true meaning of death from this land.

That’s the situation, so why on earth is something like that mentioned?

“Human life is short. That’s why you leave before you fully atone for your sins. There is an old saying that youth is too precious to be given to the young. Ironically, when you have the least experience, you are at your best.

That’s why humans regret things when they get older. In the end, most people end up regretting their past. Young people who ignore God now will eventually do the same. For them, death is far away and they are the youngest in their remaining lives.”

“It wouldn’t have been any different in the past. Even in the past, it was said countless times that things these days are spoiled.”

“That doesn’t really matter. In the end, what matters is that they have little experience. When technology or systems change quickly, old ones can seem strange. The way you deal with people gets better the more you experience it.

Humans cannot understand things outside of their own experience. Can someone who is far from death truly understand the pain of death? For you… That much death… Is it a big crisis?”

It’s a crisis of death…

And it’s a feeling…

I can’t say it clearly, but I sympathized with what he said.

Because I have experienced death.

I know more about death.

And that’s why I knew the flaw in those words.

“It could actually be the opposite. The closer you get to death, the more you fear it. If you have experienced death itself… Maybe you shouldn’t be afraid. Just as you become accustomed to fear when you experience it… ”

“You speak as if you have experienced death… ”

Our story ended there.

For a while, silence lingered around.

“Here!!”

And a little later.

People’s voices began to be heard from afar.

It meant that the Academy’s troops had returned here again.

The biggest disaster to hit this academy.

Invasion of vampires and the dead.

The story eventually came to an end.
