Today, like any other day, I was helping the volunteer group run the relief center.

It was obvious that it was something for me and the members of the raid team, who had no healing ability, to do.

“I think we need more disinfectant.”

“Yes, I will get it right away.”

Something like finding and retrieving supplies that are lacking.

“Kaaa! It hurts so much!”

“Brother! Please hold on to this patient tightly!”

“Ah, yes.”

Something like holding and pressing down on a patient who is struggling in pain.

In short, if it’s just something you put in the effort to do, you can do it yourself.

However, one person was of greater help than most of the volunteer priests.

“Please wait a moment. My sister will help you get better soon.”

It would be Joo-yeon Han.

Although he has talents better suited to being a buffer than a healer, his healing ability is also excellent.

To be precise, it feels like it is being pressed down with the massive magical power of an S-class hunter.

“Are you a saint by any chance?”

“Oh, no.”

A smile never left the face of Juyeon, who worked while receiving rave reviews.

“Ah… , She was so beautiful that I thought she was a saint.”

“Hehe.”

But why do they keep looking at me every time they tell me I’m beautiful?

The look in his eyes seems like he’s bragging, saying, ‘I am this kind of person, brother-in-law.’

“Ah.”

i get it.

Are you saying that because I am that kind of person, I should be good when I have it?

“That guy too.”

It satisfies everyone, day and night, so what can we do better here?

It was when I was smiling bitterly and shaking my head.

“Hey, Mr. Kim. Stop paying attention and just take things away.”

A sharp warning comes from work leader Shin Yu-jeong.

Let’s get to work.

The evening when the sun sets.

The people who had visited the aid station were leaving like a low tide and people were busy cleaning up after themselves.

“Excuse me.”

Across the dark street, a familiar face walks toward the aid station and announces its presence.

The person who came was Viktor Vadim.

He also has a very disapproving expression.

People who are hesitant about the sudden appearance of the president.

I had no choice but to step forward.

“Welcome, Mr. President. Why did you come here this late at night? ?”

“Sorry for the delay, priest. I know this is rude, but could I meet Director Michael for a moment?”

Even in times of urgency, his clear voice resonates throughout the aid station.

Upon hearing this, Michael walks out from the deepest part of the aid station.

“What are you doing at this time? Do you have an urgent patient?”

Viktor Vadim shakes his head at his question.

“I am not a patient, but I urgently needed help, so I came to see you at this late hour despite the indignity.”

“Help?”

“Yes.”

He nods his head with a sad expression.

“It looks like there is a problem at the Sanctuary of Blood.”

“… … !”

A considerable amount of waves swept through the aid station.

* * *

Early morning.

The volunteer group and attack team left Brasov by bus and drove through the rough roads.

Viktor Vadim, who came last night, said there was a problem at the Sanctuary of Blood and asked for their help.

So what is the problem they are talking about?

-“All the soldiers patrolling around the Sanctuary of Blood lost contact?”

-“Yes.”

The red wall surrounding the Sanctuary of Blood is truly selfish.

It is not allowed to enter the inside from the outside, but it is free to come out from the inside.

That means that the vampires that exist in the Sanctuary of Blood can escape from there as much as they want.

For this reason, Viktor Vadim ordered constant patrols near the Sanctuary of Blood with insufficient troops.

Vampire monster grades range from B+ to A.

This was to prevent the terrible tragedy that would occur the moment they escaped.

Was it because of those efforts, or was it for some other reason?

It is said that the vampires have never left their territory since the moment they confined it with the red wall.

However, it is said that four days ago, their patrol, which was always smooth, ran into a problem.

Contact with patrollers during the early morning hours was suddenly cut off.

The problem didn’t end there.

Even other soldiers who set out to find them lost contact.

The number of missing soldiers was as many as twenty.

Viktor Vadim, who realized the seriousness of the situation, immediately visited the volunteer group, considering the worst possibility that a vampire had appeared.

This is because priests who control divine power, which is said to be the power of God, are the natural enemies of vampires.

So it was.

They left the capital early in the morning and headed to the Sanctuary of Blood.

Kim Do-jin, staring blankly out the window on a moving bus, was lost in thought.

“Vampire… .”

Having been a hunter for over 20 years, of course he also dealt with vampires.

In Korea, dungeons with vampires are rare and only happen a few times, but I remember them clearly.

“Seup… , they were quite annoying guys.”

It is a monster with very difficult abilities.

It can turn into a bat, or it can turn into fog, making it immune to physical attacks.

Is that it?

As a vampire, they are naturally good at sucking blood, and they use blood to use extraordinary magic.

Although it varies from individual to individual, there are also some who are excellent at martial arts and swordsmanship.

Thanks to this, dungeons with vampires were always unpopular.

The rewards are good, but they are difficult enough to make you want to ignore even the excellent rewards.

‘It might be a tough fight.’

It was a time when I was thinking about this and calming down.

“Hey, look up front!”

One of the priests sitting in the front points to the front in an urgent voice.

As I quickly look away, I see a red barrier rising up into the sky.

And vampires flying in the sky flapping their giant bat wings.

* * *

A red barrier that exudes the strong scent of blood.

Vampires who flew in from beyond and soldiers chased by them.

In a situation similar to chaos, the volunteer group and the attack team rush out.

“Come this way!”

The priests immediately spread their sacred shields to attract the soldiers.

Meanwhile, the raiders who were launched early clash with the vampires.

“You bats!”

“How dare you tackle the topic of a lowly blood bag… !”

“Shut up, you mosquito!”

Anyone who hears this will think it’s a human vs. human fight.

That’s one of the reasons vampires are difficult to deal with.

That conversation works.

I don’t know why their words are automatically translated, but it’s very annoying.

“Keuuu… , Now, wait a minute!”

“Well, what is it.”

“My, I was wrong. I’ll go back inside the sanctuary, so just spare my life!”

“No, suddenly something… ?”

Look at that.

He kneels before the monster and begs for his life.

And one of the raiders is embarrassed and loses the chance to win.

It seems like he has never dealt with a vampire before.

While he hesitated for a moment, the vampire rushed at him, flashing its molars.

“It’s fake, you idiot!”

“Kkeut… !?”

I knew I would be like that.

He immediately shoots a fireball and lands it in the middle of the back of the vampire who bit the nape of the raider’s neck.

Fuuu!

“Keaaagh!”

The one soaring into the sky, screaming in pain.

He approaches the raider who barely escaped the blood bag situation and leaves a warning.

“Never hesitate. If you get bitten one more time, you will die.”

“Ugh… , Thank you.”

If you hesitate, you die.

Common sense when dealing with monsters… , no, something that cannot even be called common sense.

Even though they know this, 20% to 30% of those who deal with vampires for the first time end up flinching at their pleas without even realizing it.

Because they’re stupid?

Well, that’s not to say that there is no such thing, but… , the biggest reason is because of its appearance.

Aside from the sharp molars that are good for sucking blood and pale skin, they are just like humans.

Even it’s very handsome.

You know why.

The face is a possibility.

In fact, many male hunters have been victimized by female vampires, and many female hunters have been victimized by male vampires.

And one more thing.

“Ugh… Please save me! I will enter the sanctuary and never be seen again!”

Their acting skills are extraordinary.

Anyone who sees them would think that all vampires graduated from the Department of Theater and Film at Goseong University.

He looks like a handsome man and has excellent acting skills.

These two things distract those who see it for the first time, even if only for a moment.

And vampires are cunning enough to never miss the timing.

But this is just for beginners.

“Did you really do something wrong?”

“That’s right.”

“If you did something wrong, you should die.”

Pow!

“Ugh… !”

It doesn’t work for old people like me.

“Without blood or tears… !”

“Uh, that’s right.”

He nods towards the dying guy, spouting nonsense.

It’s not wrong.

It’s been a long time since the blood and tears dried up.

After making a vampire nice, he looks up at the sky.

“Hwiyu… , there are more than I thought.”

It’s not exact because I haven’t counted properly, but the remaining number is around fifty.

Considering that the power of each entity is at least B to A level, it is quite fierce.

But there is no such thing as defeat.

Everyone gathered here is the elite of the elite.

“Wow!”

“Damn it… !”

“Where does this kind of power come from on the topic of blood bags?”

In fact, the situation is very favorable to our side.

I was about to move on, thinking that if things continued like this, things would soon be neatly cleaned up.

“Everyone, stop.”

A polite yet cold voice from the back of the battlefield stopped everyone, including me, from moving.

When I looked back, something very surprising happened.

Aren’t the soldiers who were being chased by vampires just a moment ago and managed to enter the protective shield and survive holding their swords to the necks of the priests who were no different than lifesavers?

Among them, the one at the forefront took off his rusty military helmet and continued speaking.

“If you move even one step, all the priests will die.”

A familiar face.

Among the many people, the one who stared straight at me twisted his lips.

“Now it’s your turn to be buried.”

… I don’t like that because it’s frustrating.
