Acrich (1)

Kwajijik—!

“Ugh! What the heck is going on!”

Wirak, who was in charge of the Azantu branch of the Brokoslak Clan, could not understand the current situation.

A sudden attack occurred on a hideout located in the middle of the city, breaking through the security that stretched across the city.

I could guess who the culprit was.

‘That must be the guy who was hiding with the fragments! What he’s after is the fragments we had!’

What I couldn’t understand was how that was possible.

‘We were already monitoring the entire city in search of the debris. How did you avoid our surveillance? And how did you find out where the debris was hidden?’

There were many questions, but the important thing now was to keep the fragments safe.

Because the incident happened in broad daylight, security was low, and it took more than 10 minutes to notice the abnormality and rush in.

[Finger of Death.]

Boom!

“f*ck!”

And the bigger problem was these.

A group of undead surrounded the building, preventing anyone from entering.

‘It just so happens that the sun is out… Of course, this was also part of the bastard’s plan. However, there is no more time to delay.’

Vampires who had been summoned for an emergency meeting were joining one after another, but it was unclear how long Tiafol inside would be able to endure.

Gurrrrrr…

Just then, dark clouds appeared in the clear sky and in an instant, they puffed up and covered the entire city in shadow.

‘Damn it! It’s late!’

City defense magic installed in the home base.

Since it was an unexpected attack, it was bound to take some time to activate, but Wirak, who was in a hurry, had no time to understand this.

“Go right in! Open the way!”

[Keeeek!]

“Push it!”

Dalgeudak— Dalgrak!

At Wirak’s command, the vampires gathered together only to enter the interior.

Although the penalty was somewhat offset by the dark clouds over the city, the vampires were unable to exert their full power and died one by one from the reckless advance.

[Commander’s guidance.]

“Khuuuuk! Sir Wirak, you go first!”

And thanks to the sacrifice of his subordinate who threw his body to block the black magic, he was finally able to successfully enter the building.

“I’m going inside. You guys block the entrance here!”

Upon arriving at the entrance to the basement, Wirak gave orders to his men who had come in with him.

The number of bloodthirsty men who followed in was only about a dozen, but it would be enough to block the entrance to the basement where sunlight did not reach.

‘Tiapol! Please hold on!’

As he crossed the basement toward the debris, he prayed fervently.

This was something the Clan Lord was interested in and personally ordered to do.

If something goes wrong…

‘No! That can’t be! That can’t be···.’

He ran in a hurry and finally arrived in front of the basement where the fragments were stored, but he could not go any further and had no choice but to stop.

Hwaaaaak—

Because an overwhelming amount of black magic was emanating from the room where the barrier was drawn.

‘It’s late…’

At that moment.

Squeak—

Slowly the basement door opens…

An abyss-like darkness seeped out through the gap.

The hair on your whole body stands on end and your senses become more sensitive.

The split second the door opened felt like an eternity to Wirak.

I find myself out of breath without even realizing it.

I couldn’t take my eyes off the door.

that.

like.

It was like the gates of hell were opening.

And he could soon face it.

A being wearing a mask, waving black robes, and approaching while surrounded by pitch-black flames.

Like the descending demon king… a disaster that spreads despair and fear.

– Individual name: Hans

-Race: Undead (Acrich)

-Common characteristics: “Mind Hub”, “Clearness Index”

– Individual characteristics: “Corrupted Heart”, “Evil Wisdom”, “Forbidden Knowledge”, “Immortal”, “Affinity for Magic”, “Black Magic”

-Special Note: The rank has increased with the power of the ‘Immortal King’s Fragment (2/3)’. The inherent black magic has increased explosively. You can extract your own source to gain immortality, and you will be constantly revived as long as the stored source is not destroyed.

I opened my eyes, gathering the power I had absorbed.

The vampire’s blood magic barrier that remained in the vicinity was torn apart as it could not withstand the flow of power.

[Wow, this is amazing?]

Absorbing the second fragment didn’t simply make him twice as strong.

‘At this level, the output alone is at least five times stronger… and if you include the newly acquired skills, the strength would have increased ten times?’

The effect of the “forbidden knowledge” I gained this time was simple.

As the name suggests, it allows you to obtain forbidden knowledge, including black magic and undead.

‘It’s like there’s a huge library in my head.’

It was also a library full of evil magic books, including spells for summoning demons and sacrificing people.

‘And then there’s “immortality”… I guess I’ll have to deal with that first before that.’

I opened the door and stood there frozen in place, facing Wirak.

I fought my way through the undead to get here, but it was already too late.

[I don’t think there’s any need to elaborate.]

As he raised his hand, gloved in leather to hide his bones, and pointed at him, shadowy hands shot out from all directions and fell upon him.

“Kwaaak! What the heck! Where did this monster come from!”

Wirak roared, tearing apart the shadows that attacked him with bloodshot eyes.

Certainly, he was much stronger than the Tiapol he had defeated earlier.

Unlike Tiapol, who specialized only in blood magic, he actively utilized his overwhelming physical abilities while not falling far behind in magical skills.

‘But for now, it’s just a good sandbag.’

I only used the black magic I had newly acquired through “Forbidden Knowledge.”

I think it would be better to try writing everything yourself.

Black chains with scythes whipped through the space, and the sulfurous flames of hell burned the air of the cellar.

All kinds of defensive barriers around me don’t even allow him to approach.

Kookung—!

He tried to escape several times, but this area was already my territory.

The darkness on all sides pressed down on him, crushing the space.

“Keuk, damn it… damn it! What the hell is this ridiculous amount of magical power…! You completely absorbed the fragments…?”

[Heinz! I’ll get your attention, so get out somehow and report the information to the clan!]

As soon as Wirak spoke, a telepathic message was transmitted to Heinz, who was hiding on one side.

I thought I was hiding it well, but since they were direct blood relatives, it seemed like I couldn’t hide them completely.

[Heinz! Can’t you hear? This is an order!]

Still, as I continued to hide quietly, he sent me telepathy again.

Heinz felt the force of the ban forcing him, but he ignored it lightly as he had no reason to follow it any longer.

[Damn, are you also under control and unable to move?]

It seemed as if he had never thought that anyone could refuse his orders.

Wirak, who had been resisting, was soon tied up in black chains and thrown to the floor.

thud!

“Ugh, ugh. Who are you?”

A voice full of resignation, as if sensing his own end.

But those two eyes were still glaring at Hans.

A look of resentment, as if he couldn’t die like this.

I looked at it for a moment, then opened my mouth and laughed inwardly.

[My name is Hans.]

I can tell you at least the name.

It’s not even my real name anyway.

[Stop growing up.]

Before he could become any more of a bother, I immediately used my black magic to put him into a trance state.

The sagging body of the Wirak.

Then Heinz, who had been hiding in the darkness, approached him, sunk his teeth into the back of his neck, and sucked out his blood.

《The individual grows by achieving the conditions. The special skill “Blood Clan (孱血)” evolves into “Blood Clan (純血)”.》

The dried-up Wirak crumbled into dust.

Heinz was only able to advance after sucking the blood of a second pureblood.

‘It seems that there is a certain amount of loss when sucking blood. It seems that I have finally reached the peak of pure blood.’

Even though he had sucked the blood of Wirak and become a pureblood, he seemed to be still not as good as Tiapol, perhaps because he had just been promoted.

“Tch~ I can’t help it since I just became a pureblood. But if I keep sucking blood, I’ll become stronger.”

Since it has decided to focus on cannibalism, its growth rate will be on a different level from other vampires.

Heinz rose from his seat and headed upward.

There were still a lot of vampires left here.

Surrounded by undead, unable to escape.

***

It didn’t take long for things to settle down.

As I caught the resisting remnants one by one and sucked their blood, I felt the purity of the blood sucking factor, the source of the body’s inherent power, increasing.

“Eh, eh, I can’t eat this. Now I understand why Rosilica said that.”

I grumbled as I sucked the servant’s blood and spat it on the ground.

I said that servants and slaves aren’t even treated like vampires.

It was full of mutated blood-sucking factors that were impurities, so sucking blood actually reduced its purity.

‘I see why they are so imperfect.’

These were beings that had their cells forcibly mutated by injecting them with a small amount of blood-sucking factor.

Because it was easy to make and highly efficient compared to the resources consumed, it was bound to have limitations.

Heinz looked around.

A destroyed hideout building and a garden that has become a battlefield.

Hans restored the broken undead, and also revived the corpses of the servants that Heinz had not been able to eat.

Fortunately, thanks to Hans’s concealment barrier still remaining, the commotion did not seem to be noticed by the residents.

“Well then, let’s start leaving the city now.”

Wiping out the vampires that ruled the city did not solve all of its problems.

Rather, since those who held the leashes of criminal organizations were swept away all at once, public security will worsen even further in the future.

Now is the best time to leave.

Heinz hurried to where his siblings were waiting.

The children will be ready to leave first and will be waiting just for them.

‘Still, I feel a little guilty about leaving like this.’

After thinking about it for a while, I soon realized that it was a pointless worry.

Don’t you have two bodies in this world?

‘Yeah! Heinz is strong enough now anyway. There’s no need to get Hans’ help, so let’s split up here.’

Heinz will leave the city with his siblings, while Hans will remain in the city for the time being to handle other matters.

‘It’s comfortable to have multiple bodies.’

As Heinz moved to where his siblings were waiting, Hans used his newfound knowledge to turn the vampires into ghouls and confine them to the negative dimension.

[Hmm… If we research this a bit more, we might be able to open it on Earth too?]

The synergy between the “Forbidden Knowledge” and “Evil Wisdom” I gained this time was outstanding.

Thanks to this, I was able to skillfully use black magic that I had only recently learned.

The only subspace magic that could be used immediately was the negative dimension located on the other side of the ‘Autherica dimension’.

However, if you use “Evil Wisdom” to research new knowledge, you will soon be able to create a subspace that can be opened on Earth.

[Let’s think about it slowly and go collect the remaining items.]

Because there were still a lot of things left to take care of.

After collecting all the undead, Hans quickly moved into the shadows.

The destination was, of course, the vampires’ home base.

‘I was able to use teleportation this time, but I’m still uneasy, so I’ll use it next time. There’s probably a movement-prevention barrier set up in their mansion.’

The base they moved to was already fully prepared for battle.

It must have been an emergency situation as an emergency assembly was called due to an attack on the hideout.

‘Of course it’s a meaningless tantrum.’

I first placed a concealment barrier around the entire mansion.

Because I was planning to really fly from now on.

[Come out. Come out and sweep them all away.]

Hundreds of undead poured out from the blackened floor.

I used dark magic to strengthen the undead and followed them slowly.

Kwajik!

“Kuuuck!”

[Keeeek—!]

A battle broke out between the undead and the servants waiting inside the mansion.

A bat-faced slave over two meters tall and a ghoul of similar shape were biting each other.

A servant fell from the ceiling, destroyed the skeleton’s skull, and was counterattacked by other undead, causing it to fall, bleeding.

[Hmm···, this is more than I thought?]

When I was with Heinz, more slaves kept popping out than the number I had roughly estimated.

I heard that they had put a large number of them into hibernation underground in preparation for an emergency…

“Destroy the intruders! If you hold out, Lord Wirak will come!”

“Kueeek—!”

It seemed like they didn’t know that Wirak was already dead.

As you can see, the only stronghold here is the one that was left to defend the base.

‘Then there’s no need to waste any more time.’

I slowly spread my dark magic throughout the mansion.

A black shadow spread across the floor, walls, and ceiling.

[Keeeeee—!]

“Huh! What is this?!”

After a short while, when the shadow finally spread across the entire area.

He lightly tapped the floor with the skull staff he was holding.

Pooboobooboo—!

Phew!

“Ugh—!”

“Kuwoah!”

In an instant, a bloody fog spread throughout the mansion.

Black thorns sprouted from all sides, piercing the vampires engulfed in shadow.

“Ugh…. Hey, Wirak-nim….”

Zanhyeol, who had been struggling with thorns stuck all over his body, struggled for a moment before soon stopping moving.

A momentary silence fell on the mansion.

[Wow… It’s even more amazing than I thought?]

After committing mass murder like this at once, I could clearly feel how much stronger I had become.

At this level, you won’t be ignored wherever you go.

‘No, is that a given?’

Hundreds of corpses submerged in a sea of blood, countless undead standing around creating an ominous atmosphere.

Hans, emitting a black aura in the middle.

It was a visual that made you want to run away immediately, let alone ignore it.

‘What kind of demon lord is this…’

I looked around for a moment.

Corpses that can be used as undead, and expensive-looking decorations visible beyond them.

There are still many things left to take care of.

‘You should take everything you can. Where did you say the valuables were stored?’

I hummed to myself as I spread the undead throughout the mansion.

The more money you have, the better.
