After returning to the hotel, I had dinner with Jericho and his wife. The topic of conversation was mainly about Gulshi’s life. Gulshi continued to talk as if she had written down what she wanted to say, and Jericho listened with a happy smile.
At night, when Gulsy fell asleep, Jericho came to my room with three people. There were two people I had seen in Melkaran, and the other one was unknown to me, but judging from his long bones and calloused hands, he seemed to be quite an excellent hunter. I greeted them and had a full-blown conversation. The large man was a sentinel who watched their movements in the jungle.
“The great jungle was just a hiding place. Vampires spread like a plague not only across the Western Continent but also throughout cities and villages. They are not monsters hiding in the shadows. The more people there are, the more active the ‘feeding activity’ becomes. We Khosan hunters have been tracking and hunting down vampires disguised as humans. but… … .”
He cleared his throat as if his throat was burning. When Jericho handed him a bottle of hard liquor, he drank it from the bottle. A red face is not due to drunkenness. He tried to hide his fear inside his grim expression, but he couldn’t hide the frightened look in his eyes.
“Somehow, they are gathering in the jungle. There is also evidence that people who are merely beasts that hunt humans have colluded with each other. They are so cunning, they never leave a corpse behind. But in the city of Karaspal, the town on the Low Coast, and even in the royal capital. Serial murders that appear to be the work of these bastards are occurring all over the continent. “Now they are no longer hiding their traces!”
You have to face it in person to find out.
According to the Khosan people, vampires are similar to demons, but different. They are a number of monsters that have one thing in common: sucking human blood. They have blended into human society like impersonators, but they do not imitate others. That’s why I’m very wary of being discovered as a vampire. But the man said that their behavior has been very different over the past few years. It means that they don’t care about being discovered as a vampire. He warned that in recent years, unnatural mummified corpses have been discovered everywhere, and it will not be long before people who were unaware of the existence of vampires will also notice.
The devil alone is enough to make a fuss.
If the fear of being eaten by fangs spreads.
The night of the city, which was precariously maintained, will collapse.
“They said it was several years ago that vampires first appeared. Let’s guess the timing. “About five years ago, right?”
“The tragedy that occurred in Karaspal was five years ago… “That’s roughly it.”
My head was pounding. Even if the twins don’t directly destroy the world, they are having a huge impact at this point. I can’t say I’m responsible, but I also have a 25% stake.
I was able to find out the situation by talking with him.
He was a person who lived in the slash-and-burn village where the victim came from. And he didn’t notice until the vampire started hunting humans. What he thought was a fear of vampires was actually a feeling close to guilt.
A ‘blood demon’ that the Kosan clan has been hunting for hundreds of years.
Characteristics of the Blood Demon’s servants, vampires and gnomes.
I thought of the Book of Raziel.
Mother’s Memento, The Devil’s Dictionary.
The devil’s dictionary recorded the names of devils and abstract pictures like murals from ancient times. Among the countless names of devils that I had to memorize in one night, there were some that particularly left an impression on me. The king of pretenders, the devil whose name is recorded or the seven devils whose names are not recorded, and the devil who is recorded as ‘the Earl’ even though he is a ‘devil’.
Devil, devil, devil.
In the end, it’s the devil.
“Ah, really. “f*ck!”
I didn’t care about Prince Reinberg’s body pain. I screamed hysterically while the four Kosan clan members watched. Only Jericho remained calm, the rest were embarrassed. From their perspective, I am an awkward person. Kunkan Empire, Confucius of the Reinberg family, Pillar of Dawn. It’s understandable that a guy like that suddenly swears in a loud voice. But I wanted to vent my frustration.
“The world really sucks, doesn’t it?”
At least I thought this world was better than the Earth being destroyed. But in reality, they are just leading an unstable life, standing precariously on the edge of a cliff, never knowing when they might fall and die. I scratched my head. I hope all the distracting thoughts will be shaken off like dandruff. In my previous life, I enlisted in the National Guard, believing in my humble talents to save the world from ruin. In this world, we are building our strength to survive and overcome the unprecedented crisis that is coming. I felt like an idiot struggling amidst a long list of nonsense. Is this fate? If that’s the case, then it’s very dog-like. With the Cheonan pain that has manifested throughout my past and present lives, what on earth do I want to see?
I jumped up from my seat and pointed at Jericho.
“I will kill you. “I will kill you all.”
“Confucius. Calm down. What are you saying… … .”
“It means that I will kill everyone, whether they are vampires or demons. Don’t feel pressured. Even if I die, which of course is unlikely, it will not cause any harm to you.”
When there was an awkward silence, Jericho spoke first.
“Confucius. To be honest, I didn’t understand why Confucius was called the Pillar of Dawn. But now, I think I understand.”
Even if you don’t like it, the sun rises.

Jericho told us about the ‘habits’ of vampires.
A cycle of weakness, harbingers of hunting, and victims.
“In addition to vampires, there are other monsters to watch out for.”
And about another devil.
“Sometimes, monsters wandering around the vampire’s ‘hunting grounds’ appear. “We call them werewolves.”
“werewolf?”
“They wander around vampires and eat people. They smell blood and gather around. In some cases, they can be more dangerous than vampires. Sianna too… “I almost got killed by those guys.”
I knew that a monster called a ‘werewolf’ existed.
Because there were werewolf specimens in my mother’s secret library.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a mosquito or a dog.
Their roots are evil.
It’s clearing! It’s clearing!
The more angry Dalbi got, the more fiercely (or cutely) he cried.
The guy sympathized with my anger.
No, maybe.
Maybe I empathize with his anger.

Vampires act alone.
The Kosan clan forms teams of at least four people to track and hunt vampires.
However, in recent years, the activities of vampires have become more active, and there has been an absolute shortage of manpower.
From the beginning, I had no intention of acting together with Gulshi. In the morning, five members of the Kosan clan whom Jericho had contacted in advance came to visit. They were in charge of communication and information collection, and were equivalent to the command staff who understood the movements of the Kosan clans scattered throughout each city, received information, and deployed teams. In the words of this guy, Geulshi is ‘the wise man’s dagger’. His shortcoming is that he lacks brain cells, but since he is familiar with this line of work, he would be better suited as a liaison soldier.
“Hey, young master. Are you really okay without me?”
“Mind your own business. “It’s your first mission as the ‘Sage’s Dagger,’ right?”
“A dagger… mission. yes The wise man’s dagger, Gulshi! “I will follow your orders and carry them out faithfully!”
Gulshi followed them excitedly.
It won’t be too dangerous.
At least it’s better than being by my side.

The vampire who brutally killed the slash-and-burn people has not yet been caught.
I heard that as the kingdom’s tyranny became more severe, more mountain village villages were created near the entrance to the jungle.
There are eight places to investigate right away. We disguised ourselves as dry goods merchants and investigated the village. Jericho, the team captain, took charge of the situation, but he kept me informed of the progress.
“A vampire that begins drinking blood will remain active for at least two months. “If we look at the cycle, there will soon be victims.”
“I guess I’ll have to catch him before that.”

“They are like foxes in a den and do not show themselves except when hunting. “It’s unfortunate, but you may have to be prepared, Confucius.”
“Are you telling me to wait for the victim?”
I glared at the short man. He lowered his head briefly and then looked into my eyes again. His confident eyes seemed to be asking if he had said something wrong. I ignored him and spoke to Jericho.
“We can’t just kill people in the village until victims come forward. Have you searched all the nearby woods where the ‘cellar’ was located?”
“I’ve been searching for several days. “The hiding place was not visible.”
I have experienced the Kosan clan’s search ability once. Since they are the ones looking for needles in the sand, there really may not be any. However, you can’t be sure until you see it in person. That is, until you see it in person.
“Let’s search again.”
“It’s a waste of time. Confucius.”
“Then you are waiting in town. “I won’t stop you.”
“We follow Confucius and conduct another search. Jack Callback.”
He complained, but when Jericho stepped forward, he had no choice but to follow.

“Ha, f*ck. “I knew it would be like this.”
I frowned as I saw the obvious blood stains. The dark red soil was wet with blood.
The blood trail continues into the forest. I was embarrassed because it looked like freshly shed blood, but then I calmly asked Jericho.
“Can’t you see that?”
Jericho didn’t see the blood stain I pointed to. Of course. There’s no way they wouldn’t notice if it’s being done so openly. I swept the dirt with my fingers. No blood came out. I closed my eyes and pressed them firmly with my palms. A few seconds later, when I opened my eyes, the blood stains were gone.
“Prepare for battle.”
Have you seen traces of the past?
Anyway, Dog-Eyed saw the traces of a vampire.
The trail continued into a dense forest. I walked, tearing off tangled branches and weeds like a maze. When I cleared the vines between the roots of the giant tree, I found a piece of human bone buried there. I cut down all the vines surrounding the huge tree. Traces that could not be erased were found between the vines. The blood stain was towards the tree. Only then did Jericho discover an unnaturally broken branch at the top of the tree.
“It looks like they learned it too.”
He erased his traces and climbed up a tree to avoid being pursued. He was as agile as a monkey. However, the traces could not be completely erased. Jericho climbed up the tree and looked at the broken branches. He soon discovered the vampire’s lair. It was hidden by bushes under a large tree several meters away, but there were no vines growing there.
Long ago, the great jungle was the home of humans who formed a tribal society. The Kosan are descendants of a jungle tribe that was destroyed by a blood demon. Time passed, but the remains of humans from hundreds of years ago still remained in the jungle. This is the case in the jungle basement, which is now used as a hideout for vampires.
As Jericho cleared the bushes, a door leading to the basement appeared.
I stood in front of his hideout. It was fortunate. The rat is staying in the burrow. I was holding my breath and crouching down, waiting for an opportunity, but I could clearly see the guy beyond the door. I took out my sword. And without hesitation, he pulled the doorknob.
Keek-!
He jumped up like a spring, but I decapitated him with a single blow.
At first he was human, but his body gradually turned into a monster. His fangs sprouted and his fingernails became long like blades. His skin turned gray and all his hair fell out. The most bizarre thing is that the guy whose head and body were separated is alive and well. Vampires didn’t bleed. The severed head and body were filled with only dark red sand. It was a being that could no longer be called life.
