◈ Episode 630: The last drop of blood (4)
Ludger left.
The Owens members who heard the news showed various reactions.
“””ha.”
Hans pressed his finger between his eyebrows as if his bone was in pain.
“Is it really okay to send the owner alone?
Violetta was quite impatient at the fact that Ludger left alone.
There was no one here who did not know where Ludger was heading.
It was a dead land.
It was also a stage for the continent’s powerful people to gather and declare a single goal.
Did Ludger go to a place like that to end things on a good note through conversation?
Even if it was with that intention, there was no way the other person would accept it.
It will most likely turn into a fight.
“It is a choice you made.
Pantos, who usually observed the situation in silence, stepped forward to support Ludger.
Alex also agreed with that statement.
“Even if we said we would follow, would the leader like it?
“And what if the owner gets hurt?”
“Are you hurt?”
It was Pantos who responded to Violetta’s concerns.
He snorted a laugh he usually show.
“Even if everyone here joins forces to attack, do you think that man will even budge?”
“What is that…
“You don’t know.
Pantos remembers.
When he first encountered Ludger while targeting his prey.
And when I fought him and saw some of the power he unleashed.
There will be no one on this continent who surpasses this man, neither in the past nor in the future.
Pantos, who was a beastman obsessed with and was born with the talent of an almost mutant hero, was able to intuit it.
The senses of an animal and the intuition of a warrior all unanimously said the same thing.
Ludger is not on his way to die right now.
“We just have to work hard to prepare for our future plans.
Hans clapped his hands at Pantos’ words.
“Anyway, talking about it here won’t change the current situation.
So I have no choice but to believe.
Everyone at Owens came to a tentative .
Night has come.
Grander stood alone in the center of the crater.
A land where life cannot grow due to the of a fight between a saint and a great devil.
But Grander knows.
The reason life could not grow on this land was not the fault of the great devil Surna, but because of the ‘divine power’ that had sunk to an extremely deep level.
I don’t wonder what happened that day in this battlefield.
The between the devil and the saint known to the world is simply history modified by the Holy Kingdom of Bretus.
The truth had to be somewhere else.
“What does that mean?”
Maybe it’s because it’s the last time, but I’ve become sentimental for no reason.
Grander looked around.
People can be seen moving around busily outside the crater.
Even when looking at the continent as a whole, they have considerable power and reputation.
They will attack her the moment the time comes.
‘It’s a meaningless action.’
You can’t kill her with attacks from those guys.
Nevertheless, trying to launch an attack at midnight was a show of sorts.
A show to announce that the Holy Kingdom’s subjugation force has finally hunted down the True Ancestral vampire who has been threatening the Holy Kingdom of Bretus for a long time.
Grander wanted to receive a clean death as a holy object, but the cunning Patrazio was planning to suck the whole process down to the bone.
‘He said it was just for show anyway and that it would be over soon.’
Grander could tell.
Patrazio seemed to have a purpose other than killing himself.
Although he hides his true feelings with a friendly, human-like smile, Grander’s insight, having lived for many years, easily sees through that mask.
However, Grander did not bother to point out Patracio’s true intentions.
I’m going to die soon anyway.
‘I just need to get the death I wanted so much.’
death.
It was an unfamiliar word to her.
Grandeur wanted to call it rest, or comfort.
Something I thought I would never get.
And finally, something glimmering before my eyes as if I could grasp it.
But why?

‘What I wanted so much was just around the corner, but the last thing that came to mind was the face of my student.’
I know that the was unintentional.
Making promises arbitrarily and breaking promises arbitrarily.
Perhaps Ludger would be more embarrassed than grateful.
I felt sorry for not being able to tell you everything, but it didn’t matter.
It’s all over now.
He is a monster of .
He is a human being.
You may feel disappointed in yourself at this moment, but someday you will forget this fact and live your life.
Grander thought that was enough.
It was a selfish decision that didn’t take the other person’s feelings into consideration, but that doesn’t matter.
Anyway, before and now, he was the only child in the world.
“It’s just the beginning.”
Finally it was midnight.
Grander looked up at the sky.
The pitch-black night sky was filled with starlight as if it had been sprinkled with powder, and the moonlight looked unusually clear and bleak today.
There were lights shooting up across the night sky.
Holy spells and magic, modern .
The number was over thousands, and the target was the center of the crater.
It was himself.
“””okay.”
Blood-red energy began to form around Grander.
The red energy is clearly visible even under the bluish moonlight.
“Has it started?”
Clinton Rotschild, who was sitting alone in a barracks at the bottom of a ridge far from the crater, sensed an energy coming from outside and muttered softly.
The hunt for vampires, long-time enemies of the Holy Kingdom of Bretus and eternal beings, has begun.
Clinton attended the punitive force, but did not participate in the fight directly.
To him, being a vampire or an enemy of the Holy Kingdom was not a subject of consideration at all.
The only thing that me is that the opponent is a [Grander] level wizard, an 8th rank that is only known in legend.
‘They said he was named after someone in the hierarchy, but who would have thought he would still .’
Clinton recalled his first meeting with Grandeur.
-For a human, he’s pretty good.
This is what a girl who looks as cute as a doll without any flaws says to herself who is now old.
It was something no one could say to him who had risen to the [Impera] level, the 7th level as a human being.
However, considering his opponent’s magic skills, Clinton had no choice but to admit it.
On the contrary, I was even proud to hear that it was quite good for an 8th rank wizard.
What Clinton didn’t know was that she was a vampire and had a death wish.
History will say that she was an enemy of the Holy Kingdom and a terrible vampire.
Clinton held Grander in high regard, at least as a sorceress, and thought that her death would lead to a decline in magic on this continent.
However, even the name of the 7th hierarchy was not enough to prevent this situation, and Clinton had no choice but to watch from afar.
‘It’s such a shame.’
An explosion is heard from beyond the ridge.
Even though it is quite far away, you can see the lights flashing beyond the tent.
If you get close to the crater, you may be blinded by the explosion and flash.
Countless energies are concentrated toward one point, causing destruction.
And in the center, I felt a huge power that I had never felt before curling up like a cocoon.
Although they resisted by spraying red lightning-like bolts from time to time, they were useless in the face of a torrent of attacks.
But Clinton knows.
If she shows her sincerity, the people gathered there can be wiped out in an instant.
It was only because Grander had expressed his intention to participate in this ridiculous play that he did not do so.
‘okay.
Clinton stroked his beard and then stood up.
A state beyond what all wizards hope for.
Even though the being who possessed it was a vampire and not a human, Clinton respected Grandeur as a wizard.
However, the fact that such a Grander met an end like this, which did not live up to his reputation as an 8th rank, was bittersweet.
It seemed like the magic he loved so much ended up being like this.
But what was even more unfortunate was that he was in a position where he could not do anything.
Clinton is called the strongest wizard among humans and was once awarded the title of youngest wise man.
His influence was so enormous in the wizarding world that it could have repercussions even on the nation.
However, as Clinton grew older, he realized that he was nothing after reaching the 7th rank.
Until I reached rank 6, I thought I was the best.
It’s been so long since I realized it was a frog in a well.
The moment Clinton became aware of the distortion of the world and realized that he could not change it, he thought that the only answer was to simply adapt to the given reality.
Because that’s right.
It was the same even now, when the strongest wizard in history was facing his end.
“It’s painful to know so much.”
Clinton patted his back and came out of the barracks.
In a situation where he could neither stop nor intervene, all he could do was pray in his heart that everything would end well.
With that in mind, Clinton wanted to leave the barracks and return to the Empire.
I felt like I would feel even dirtier if I stayed in this place.
As Clinton was about to move, his eyebrows fluttered as he sensed an energy from far away.
“What is that?”
Cardinal Patrick stood at the top of a mountain overlooking the crater and looked down at the scene.
In the Basin of Death, which could be considered a stage, lights flashed and loud music rang out continuously.
Even though I’m far away, my eyes hurt and my ears sting.
The inside of the crater was literally like a furnace.
A furnace where no matter what piece of iron you put in, it melts and boils instantly.
Inside there, even the strongest powers on the continent would disappear without leaving a single cell behind.
But even in that environment, there were living beings.
To be exact, it was a being that ‘couldn’t die’.
“Cardinal.”
A senior priest assisting Patricio approached and asked.
“The God’s Stake is all ready to be used.”
“Thank you for your hard work.
“Why are you doing this?
“””haha.”
“If not, are you saying there is something else?”
“””That’s right.”
Senior priest Melvin was startled by Patricio’s confession-like words.
Wasn’t the bait that Patricio was talking about a true vampire that the church had been trying hard to kill for a long time?
I couldn’t believe that such a monster, which could destroy the country based on pure force alone, was being used as bait.
“What on earth is your real goal?”
“It’s already boring to say the least.
Patricio smiled softly as always, but Father Melvin felt that his smile gave him goosebumps.
“Well, what if you don’t come?”
“Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t come.
At that time, a paladin approached from afar and whispered to Patricio.
When Patricio heard these words, the line around his mouth became longer and darker.
“Get ready.”
“””yes yes?”””
“It is time to use the stake of God.”
