From under the right side to the left shoulder.

A long red line is drawn diagonally across the peacock’s upper body.

Puhak!

Blood rushing out.

A faint smile appears on Son Seo-yeon’s lips as she looks at this.

‘It’s a success!’

I shuddered from the rising joy and was happy for a moment.

She immediately hit the ground, threw herself backwards, and returned to her original position.

The smile on my face has long since disappeared.

“Sorry… , It was a little shallow.”

Although he succeeded in cutting the opponent, the wound was not very deep.

It is clear that significant damage was caused as blood was shed.

But it wasn’t enough.

To completely corner your opponent.

Kim Do-jin patted her shoulder and comforted her.

“It’s okay. It was the best my senior could do.”

okay.

She did her best.

However, the other person’s skin was much tougher and harder than I expected.

Kim Do-jin turned his head and looked at Han Ju-yeon, who was treating two tanks.

“How is the condition?”

“The wound is not that deep. It will be over soon.”

As she said, after a while, the warm light that stayed in my hand disappears.

“Wow, it still stings.”

“Ugh… , The pain is stronger than I thought.”

Two people wake up complaining of pain even though their wounds have healed.

“Everyone be careful. Even the wounds were not deep, and the pain was severe. If you get stabbed straight, it will be even more terrible.”

Shin Yu-jeong gives advice while trembling once as if remembering the pain from earlier.

It seemed like there was something that had a stronger effect on pain perception.

Otherwise, Shin Yu-jeong, who had the best patience at the party, would not have reacted like that.

“… It’s truly amazing.”

While the party was quickly adjusting its stance, the duke’s sinister gaze turned to Kim Do-jin.

“I never thought we would gather such annoying people together. Do you also have excellent eyes for people?”

“Well, it’s kind of like that.”

Kim Do-jin shrugs his shoulders and jokes.

At the same time, place one hand behind your back and send the pre-arranged hand signal to your colleagues.

The Duke combs his hair, which had become disheveled due to the intense use of magical power, with one hand.

“I have to take this seriously too. I don’t want to be stigmatized anymore.”

Although he spoke in a relaxed manner, his eyes were fierce.

That means he is angry.

He gestures.

“Come.”

Attack party and vampires.

Francis and Jinjo.

Towards the blood that had accumulated from their fierce fight.

Ssssut

Drops of blood gathered at a rapid pace and fell on the open ceiling of the old castle.

Shoot ah-

It falls as a thin rain.

「Blood Rain.」

Kim Do-jin, sensing something unusual, shouts.

“Shield!”

Likewise, she senses an ominous feeling and quickly creates a spell and shouts.

「Divine Shield」

Hahahaha!

A golden protective shield hanging widely over the head.

Soon, the rain of blood pouring down and the protective shield collide.

Kakakakang!

An eerie crash sound that sends chills down your spine.

Kim Do-jin’s face wrinkles as he looks up at the red rain falling on the protective shield.

“No way… .”

Are each and every drop of rain a small thorn?

Is it really an ability that can be called a thorn-gong?

I ask Juyeon Han.

“How far can the shield expand?”

“Approximately 15 meters… . Anything more than that will weaken the durability and will break through quickly.”

“Time?”

“… 10 minutes. I think it would be too much to go beyond that.”

The power contained in the thorns seemed to be stronger than I thought.

Seeing as she is an S-class hunter, the protective shield deployed only lasts for 10 minutes.

‘Even that must have been a cumbersome calculation.’

Even 10 minutes was probably calculated on the assumption that she was overdoing it.

So, is there really only 7 to 8 minutes left?

Phew.

He let out a small sigh and expressed his dissatisfaction.

“You’re so picky.”

There were restrictions in many ways.

First of all, the attack method using Han Ju-yeon as the main gun became ineffective.

Holy power is the natural enemy of vampires.

After creating a gap between herself and the tanks, she tried to use her divine power to deliver a fatal blow.

‘The range of movement has also decreased.’

It is not a number or power that the body can easily withstand.

So, this ultimately means that you should only operate under a protective shield.

It also meant that I could not approach the other person as easily as before.

One last thing.

‘More than anything, it’s important to give the opponent an appropriate distance.’

The Duke’s attacks were all destructive and capable of long-distance interception.

The distance created by the rain gave wings to his attack method.

Calmly blocking attacks and moving forward is not a very good idea at the moment.

‘That would take too long.’

The bloody battle between Francis and Jinjo is becoming more and more intense.

If you continue to withstand the Duke’s fierce attacks that pour in, you will not be able to avoid enormous waste in terms of time and resources.

Then what is there?

A way to resolve the distance and win without taking too long.

Then it suddenly occurred to me.

A walk worth taking.

It is unstable as it has not yet been used properly in actual combat, but if successful, it will certainly be able to turn this unfavorable situation around in an instant.

“Everyone step back.”

Kim Do-jin gives instructions while holding a sword.

Shin Yu-jeong, who once opened her lips to say something, soon pursed her lips and obediently followed his words.

Eyes that are extremely serious and blazing like fire.

Every time that happens, Kim Do-jin would come up with a move.

The duke saw this and raised one corner of his mouth.

“You care about your colleagues very much. or not… , Is the relationship more than that?”

Kim Do-jin smiled and answered.

“Uh, it’s mine.”

“… … .”

The women’s faces suddenly turn red.

“Oh my… , Dojin, what is he suddenly saying?”

“Mi, mi, crazy bastard.”

“Hmm.”

“… … .”

Did you say that children are born even during war?

The duke is impressed by the strange atmosphere that arises even during an intense battle.

“Okay… . In that case, it would be better to send them to the underworld first.”

As soon as the words are finished, an explosion of red energy flies towards the colleagues gathered together.

Kim Do-jin reacts and quickly throws his body to block.

Pow!

He shakes his head, splitting the red energy flying like a cannon in half.

“If you can, try it.”

It was a declaration of war.

If you can penetrate yourself and attack your comrades, try it.

A deeper smile appears on the duke’s mouth.

“Kkkk… ! I’m curious. What kind of expression would you have back then? !”

The offensive begins.

There are countless thorns on the floor where there is a pool of blood.

Big and small lumps of blood come flying out of the Duke in all sorts of forms.

Attacks coming from all directions.

Even in a situation that was like a heavy overkill, Kim Do-jin did not allow a single attack.

Because the place where the Duke’s attacks are pouring in is Kim Do-jin’s territory.

[Activates the ruler’s area.]

Everything becomes clear here.

Among the attacks pouring in from all directions, which one rises first?

Also, which one is faster or slower?

All that’s left is to prioritize and move in that order.

Push shoo shoo!

Chachaechaechaeng!

Dozens of one-sided battles that went back and forth in an instant.

The duke’s mockery continues as he gains momentum.

“If you just block it like that, you won’t be able to do anything!”

“Well.”

Who said that?

They just keep blocking it.

Kim Do-jin was constantly trying something.

And we are constantly revising our plans as we experience difficulties in practice.

To create the perfect room.

“Hey, try blocking this too!”

A huge red tsunami crashing in.

Even overwhelming attacks that seem to crush everything have their weaknesses.

‘A place where the distribution of magical power is the least smooth.’

In order to achieve a large form, a lot of resources are invested in the core of the form, and the remaining parts are neglected.

Can not help it.

Otherwise, too much resources will be consumed and your belly button will become bigger than your stomach.

However, they try hard to hide it.

The more you reach that level, the more adept you become at hiding it.

In other words, it means that no matter how hard you try to hide it, it will be noticeable to those who have reached a higher level.

Sigh!

The tidal wave splits as the sword is struck vertically.

He immediately identified the weak part of the shape and cut it open with a single blow.

“… … !”

A light of surprise flashes in the Duke’s eyes when he sees this.

‘How on earth… ?’

It was beyond disgusting and I was now starting to be afraid.

Those two eyes that do not lose the colorful light of hope even in the midst of unfavorable circumstances.

A straight gaze as if to say that I can see through whatever you do.

“Keuuuu… !”

Blood boils.

Even though it’s clearly a one-sided attack, it feels like I’m being pushed out again and again.

‘then!’

The reins are loosened.

The fight between Francis and Jinjo is going as planned, so there is no need to get involved.

‘I only focus on killing that guy.’

Even the last bit of strength I had saved is released.

Duke Vlad Chepeş.

The name was possible because he inherited the blood of the first ancestor most deeply.

That’s why he was able to do it.

To imitate, however clumsily, the appearance of Jinjo.

Gather all your blood energy and compress it in one place.

A lump the size of a huge rock shrinks and shrinks until it reaches the size of the palm of your hand.

The oscillating force of life.

This is it.

The reason why Jinjo is the king of vampires.

The one ability that made him hundreds or thousands of times stronger than others.

He points the boiling bright red ball in front of Kim Do-jin and aims it.

And liberate the waters.

「Blood Cannon」

A red beam of light cuts through the air, destroying everything.

Wow!

With the momentum gained from the release of the power that had been compressed to its limit, the beast reached Kim Do-jin’s side at a speed that seemed to fold space and run.

Absolutely!

It remained frozen in the air for a long time.

“… … ?”

Vlad Chepeş tilts his head.

I was puzzled.

‘What happened?’

Why did his best move turn into a mere block of ice?

and.

Uddddud… !

Why is it so cold all of a sudden?

Something flutters and falls on my shoulder.

I turned my head and checked.

‘… Frost?’

It was frost.

There’s no way it would form unless it’s midwinter.

It lands not only on his shoulders, but everywhere he looks, turning them white.

Red rain falling from the sky.

Even the vampires flying in the air.

Even Goseong, which is Jinjo’s domain.

At that time, I felt that something unusual was happening.

“It is done.”

A low but joyous voice hits his ears.

Kim Do-jin.

he is smiling

Before I knew it, I was holding a sword that had turned completely white from handle to tip.

“Huh… !”

He shouted, slamming his sword on the floor.

「Severe cold」

At the same time, the entire world turned white.
