Preparing to leave Korea went more smoothly than I expected.

To be precise, it would be correct to say that there is nothing to do.

During Son Si-woo’s days, whenever he went out to conquer a dungeon in a foreign country, the most important thing was information.

Something like the environment within the dungeon.

Types and numbers of monsters that appear.

And based on this, we even formed party members.

I would do my best to gather information, create a hypothetical strategy based on it, and then get on a plane.

But this time, those preparations were meaningless.

Because there is almost no information about Blood Sanctuary.

“… The door has been locked for 10 years, so is it natural?”

After the brilliant performance and tearful sacrifice of the attack team led by Francis Meyer, the king of the vampires, Jinjo, fell into a deep sleep.

A hemispherical red wave emanated from the castle where he was sleeping.

The wave, which expanded in size at breakneck speed, pushed all the humans standing on the cursed land out of the territory, and stopped at the border of the territory, becoming a huge barrier preventing the invasion of foreign enemies.

The wall is now called the Blood Wall.

If you get close, the fishy smell of blood is so strong that people with a bad stomach will faint.

anyway.

Because of that barrier, no one knows the information inside the Blood Sanctuary.

From what I saw beyond the barrier, I heard that vampires patrol in pairs.

“It’s difficult.”

Not being able to know information means that you have to encounter it yourself to find out.

It is obvious that unnecessary sacrifices will increase in the process.

So I was worried.

“… Take these with you.”

Should we accompany our guild members to a land where hardships are obvious at first glance, or rather, where death lurks everywhere?

First of all, Juyeon is confirmed.

From his hunter experience to his skills, he is at the highest level in the industry, without any reproach.

He’s a guy who will do his bit wherever he goes, but it wouldn’t make much sense if you didn’t take him with him.

Next is Seoyeon.

“… I should take him with me.”

That child is also a member of the Guardians in name and substance.

Unlike me, who is just an ordinary member, I am closer to the leadership level of the Guardians.

Although his skills are still lacking, he is an apostle chosen by the Seven Great Precepts, just like the saint.

So I don’t have a choice.

If she wants to go, she goes, otherwise she doesn’t.

A few days ago, I explained the situation and asked about his intentions, and he said he was going without any hesitation.

A sense of justice… It doesn’t seem to be because of that.

My guess is that it was to get over the wall.

The A-class hunter who faced the wall and started knocking soon began to suffer from extreme thirst.

I want to be lost in the vast sea of possibilities beyond this thick wall.

You can feel it even if you just touch the wall.

Beyond this lies a world on a completely different level than before.

That is why Seoyeon wants to go.

To break down the wall.

Although consistent training is important, in the end, hunters earn the most from actual combat.

“Okay, up to this point is confirmed.”

I feel a little sick, but what can I do?

My child, who is already grown up, volunteered to go.

“… To begin with, I am not even a parent now.”

I don’t have it right now.

Any qualifications that could hinder her choice.

“Anyway, the problem lies next.”

Actually, the real problem starts now.

The remaining guild members.

Lim Na-eun, Elena, and Shin Yu-jeong have just reached the end of the A class.

Going one step further, Yoon Si-hoo and Jin Ha-rin went from trainees to official guild members.

“Ah… , It’s really dangerous this time.”

The place I have to go this time is more dangerous than any place I have been to so far.

So much so that if you mess up, you might lose your life.

Because there is so little information, there is no guarantee that they can be safely protected.

If you look at it up to this point, there really isn’t a single reason to take him.

“The problem is that there is a lot to gain.”

Francis Meyer and Angela.

The elite of the Guardians who are active in Europe are gathered together, led by these two people.

This means that no matter where you turn, there is a lot to see and learn.

So I am confident.

If they come back safely from there, they will definitely be able to move up one or two levels.

“How… ?”

I keep thinking about it, but the same answer comes back again and again, like a random ticket.

smart!

“Guild leader, everyone has gathered in the conference room.”

“Yes, I’m going right away.”

After explaining the situation to them, let them choose.

If I go, it goes, and if I don’t go, it doesn’t go, so I have no choice but to do this.

“Shall we go?”

I lightly get up and leave the guild leader’s room.

The destination is the executive conference room on the 4th floor, one floor below.

A place prepared to be used only by those who contributed to the founding of the guild for meetings.

Rattling!

He boldly kicked in the door and asked the people who were talking amongst themselves.

“Who is going to Romania?”

“… … .”

The atmosphere became cold.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

A short word that was too concise was stretched out.

“So, our guild sponsor, a saint, asked for help with the villain extermination operation.”

“Uh, right.”

“The area of operation is Romania, and it is also the fortress where Jinjo sleeps… ?”

“Very accurate.”

Also Lim Na-eun.

When it comes to being smart, you’re the best among us.

Since this has already come to an end, should they just give me a position like a secretary or a staff member?

Just as I was continuing to think about something insignificant.

Shin Yu-jeong asked.

“No… , Those bastards have lost so much fear that they use the true ancestor’s fortress as a hideout?”

“That’s right.”

I’m curious too.

So, I definitely plan to ask this time I go.

“Jinjo… , it’s true… ?”

“Even Francis Maier, who put the truth to rest, is coming with us.”

“Even though the scale has grown, it has become too big… .”

The guild members added their words one by one with puzzled expressions.

They look like they can’t believe this situation.

what… , it has to be that way.

No matter how determined you were to live the life of a hunter, you probably never thought you’d get caught up in something this big.

Talk to them to help them make their choice.

“It’s a very dangerous place. There is little information, there are a lot of vampires, and the villains are very capable.”

“… … .”

“To put it more bluntly, if you let your guard down even for a moment, you could lose your life.”

In the worst case, even part of the body may not reach Korean soil.

I swallow my words and say something else.

“That’s why I don’t want to force you this time.”

It is not allowed for each person to reveal their thoughts here.

To avoid the unfortunate situation of being swept away by the atmosphere and ending up in an unwanted place.

“Three days later, at 8 a.m., in front of the guild headquarters. Anyone who is going to Romania should come forward. People who don’t want to go should enjoy a short vacation. However, keep this in mind.”

A choice like this is bound to be painful, no matter which one you choose.

Those who decided to go and those who decided to stay.

Because it means that everyone had to suffer for a little while.

“No matter what choice you make, nothing will change between us.”

I don’t praise you for deciding to go, nor do I criticize you for deciding to stay.

I just respect their choices.

“I had a hard time listening to the heavy story, so I’m leaving for today.”

The guild members left the conference room with heavy steps.

* * *

That day is coming.

You bet it yourself.

The moment when the shackles on each other’s ankles are finally released.

It was he who would have to kneel on that day soon.

Unlike himself, who was struggling to live with his broken body, he grew his trash-like body and flew high into the sky.

Moreover, considering what he would do, it would not be surprising if he were beaten to death at any time.

But he didn’t want to.

I didn’t want to beg him, nor did I want to be crushed under his feet.

He was the one who did it.

But it was also me who suffered.

‘I feel unfair enough.’

I couldn’t get any of the things I wanted to gain by taking this body.

No, it actually became more miserable than when I watched from afar.

The pain of not being able to reach out even once to see what you wanted so much in front of you.

Even his broken body has now been discovered.

After that, his openly considerate actions made him even more miserable.

“No… , this is not what I want… .”

I wanted a brilliant life.

While holding her in my arms, I wanted to enjoy everything that a human can enjoy after being born.

Even if it was only for one day, I took the risk of living like that.

“Is this any different from the person I was back then? !”

Only my body and the house I live in have changed, but nothing has changed about me.

No, I guess I have to say I couldn’t do it.

Deep despair enveloped him.

I thought my body had no dreams or hope, but he achieved success with his body.

Even though I had a body that I thought would be full of dreams and hopes, I was still the same.

It led him to evil.

And they whispered at that moment.

“We will help you achieve all the things you have kept deep in your heart.”

Michelle.

A confidant given to me by the Apostle of Jealousy.

I followed her advice.

In the process, they did not hesitate to commit inhumane acts.

Even that was difficult only once.

As the second and third attempts continued, the guilt lessened and I even felt a bit of joy.

So, I took the stairs step by step to get to where I am now.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered in a dirty voice.

“Now only the last thing remains.”

“… What should I do?”

“No more, just one person is enough. Kill him mercilessly and take everything from him.”

If so.

“You will have everything you want.”

The corner of the mouth twitches.

At best, it is a repetition of what has been done so far.

He asked with a faint smile on his face as he took the last step, which seemed so easy.

“So… , Where is the target?”

“Unfortunately, it’s not Korea.”

His eyebrows frowned slightly.

“If it’s not Korea… .”

she answered.

“Romania.”

Long, sexy fingers run down my chest.

Under.

further down.

Eventually, it reached the waist.

She continued.

“The master’s final target is hiding there.”

A hot breath that paralyzed reason penetrated my ears.
