< Vampires, Fairies, and Test Subjects (1) >
Kookookookook!
Harley, who was in the middle of a fight, glanced around.
‘Something feels creepy. Could there be another trap?’
But nothing really caught his eye.
Just like before, only the Bancheonhoe and Dracul’s gang are circling around him like mayflies.
‘But I can’t ignore Harley’s intuition, so I guess it’s better to be a little more careful for now.’
Even while he was looking elsewhere, his body, which multitasks daily, naturally continued the fight.
Kwung— Skak!
With a heavy sound of stepping on a stick, a thick arm like a log was swung around, and five blade-like claws hanging from the end of the arm mercilessly tore through the air.
The technology of an intelligent being grafted onto wild movements based on instinct.
Even if it had just moved around moderately, its body was strong enough, but now that it understood the principles of the unstable and actively utilized them, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was now a moving disaster.
Phew!
“Ugh— This monster···!”
“Huh! Don’t act rashly! Salmon! Are we there yet?”
“Crazy! What the hell kind of body is this! How much resistance does it have…!”
Still, the fight wasn’t as simple as I thought.
No matter how much of a difference there is in level, the opponents are also strong enough to overcome their own limitations and transcend them.
It was natural that these people received help from many high-ranking vampires, and each of them had their own special skills and abilities.
‘It looks like they brought some pretty top-tier talents over there. They seem to have put a lot of thought into this.’
Harley turned her head to the side, meeting the gazes of the men who were glaring at her with their disheveled appearance.
Although I’ve killed quite a few vampires in the fight so far, it’s still not enough.
It seemed like I had to get rid of the underlings of the Bancheonhoe over there first, but since those who had reached the highest level were determined to hide, it wasn’t going to be an easy decision.
‘I don’t think this is a time to save money just to prevent information leaks.’
Maybe I ignored them too much.
If we keep doing this and miss even one person here, it will be a bigger loss.
The number of strong people was the greatest measure of a force’s influence, so wouldn’t it be better to reduce the number of strong people belonging to the Bancheonhoe as much as possible?
“Kuuuu— I guess there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Since the table had already been set this way, there was no point in buying any more.
It seems a bit too greedy to hide anything more here.
“What are you trying to do now…!”
“Be on guard! Don’t step forward unnecessarily…!”
Did you feel something at Harley’s reaction?
When the enemies we faced began to raise their tension to the max.
Thump—
The “seed of madness” within his body began to pulse and the madness flowing throughout his body began to run wild.
And the “Seal of the Fighting King” that was activated using that energy glowed beneath the crimson scales, and the blazing “Aura of Life” enveloped his body like a blazing flame.
“Wait a minute, this energy reaction is···!”
“Falcon! Defense first…!”
Immediately after that.
He crouched down, his ten fingers planted on the floor.
Crunch— Crunch!
“Kuhahahaha!”
In an instant, it kicked off the ground and shot towards the enemies like a rocket.
“Quick···!”
“······!”
An unknown force that someone had used was squeezing my entire body, but it was no use.
The aura of madness flowing through the dragon’s scales resisted external energies, and the mystery of the imprint that invigorated the body ignored hostile abnormalities.
Phew!
The body of a vampire that had hurriedly approached nearby and was trying to do something was shattered into pieces by a light wave.
No matter how great the regenerative power is, it would be impossible to reach that point.
Kwaaaaang—!
And then Harley’s claw, now twice as big as before, was blocked in midair.
The defensive ability of the hammer warrior who has played the most brilliant role in helping the Bancheonhoe group endure until now.
Even though the cracks that started from the contact surface spread like a spider web with just one attack, that brief moment was enough time for those who had reached the realm to take follow-up measures.
‘Until now, that is.’
Now that I had made up my mind, there was no reason to hesitate.
Harley’s fully developed jaw opened wide.
The sharp teeth that jutted out like saws flashed fiercely—.
Kwajik!
He just bit down the barrier that blocked his path.
“What are you doing?!”
“Gluttony”, which gives a strong compensation to the act of eating something.
With the energy of ‘madness’ added to it, it gained a destructive power of a different level than before, and the invisible curtain blocking its path was torn away, creating a large hole.
And once that happened, the rest was a breeze.
Kkwadk! Kkwadk!
A barrier was destroyed in an instant, and a muscular giant quickly approached with its mouth wide open and teeth protruding from beyond it.
It was a bizarre scene that would have evoked primal fear in those who encountered it, but even so, veterans who had been through it all reacted skillfully.

A hammer warrior swinging a large hammer and facing you from the front, a female swordsman wielding a longsword with a strange aura and attacking from behind, a martial artist descending from the sky and a group of vampire remnants assisting them.
Until just a moment ago, Harley would have been careful and kept a reasonable pace, but now that she had decided to step up, none of that meant anything.
Wow—
Suddenly, a green light burst out from the left eye and “Jewel Eye: Coercion” was activated.
An enormous amount of energy, replaced by madness, burned in an instant, generating enormous physical force that restricted the actions of those around them.
“Huh?!”
“What is this···?”
Of course, since they also had their own set of circumstances, the force didn’t take long to take effect, but for Harley, that brief moment was enough time to finish what she wanted to do.
Kuuung—
“Cough!”
The Hammer Warrior was thrown back as if hit by a dump truck by a rough attack that took advantage of his opening.
I moved the hammer just before to block the direct hit, but it didn’t have much effect.
After all, his purpose was just beginning.
‘Let’s finish this as quickly as possible.’
After that, in the time divided into fleeting moments.
Harley’s hands and the warrior’s hammer were entangled in a dazzling manner.
The impact of the hammer and fist colliding left a shock, and sparks flew as the long handle and claws rubbed against each other.
Kugugugugugu—
The warrior’s comrades who joined late also immediately joined in and began to provide support.
A longsword imbued with strange power slashed at Yongrin, leaving a large wound on his body. The martial artist tried to push him away by repeatedly releasing shockwaves, but…
Harley, who had near-immortal regenerative powers, didn’t care either way.
They only rush forward, aiming to kill the Hammer Warrior.
Since the situation had developed that way, the outcome was naturally predetermined.
“no!”
“Falcon!”
In the end, the Hammer Warrior lost his weapon and was captured with a leash despite the help of his comrades.
“Now one.”
“Ugh!”
Thud!
Harley twisted the neck of the loot she had in her grasp, not caring about the distractions around her.
which.
It was the signal for the beginning of the ensuing massacre.
***
Harley, the ultimate evolved life form.
The origin of its birth dates back to the time when Hahoe Mask Hans and the vampire Heinz II were cleaning up the hardliners of the blood alliance.
Back to the time when he first encountered the lawbreaker in the mental world of the captive Bancheonhoe leader there.
At that time, Hans found out the base of the men who were active in Korea through the memories he had read, and after raiding that place, he was able to obtain various materials…
Included in it were samples of the ‘Fully Evolved Creature Project’ and ‘Predatory Dragon’s Blood’.
At the time, the doctor was busy conducting various studies at the same time, so he deliberately spread the topic to various branches and had them compete with each other in the hopes that they would gain new perspectives.
The doctor, who believed that the development of science and technology comes from exchange, did not care about the leak of research data that would occur in the process.
Because he believed that he was the best.
A strong conviction that no matter how many people in this world are gathered together, none of them can compare to one person.
If someone can advance the research even a little with their sparkling creativity, that would be great.
In the end, all of those things will just become your own nutrients, and in the end, you will be the one to complete it···.
I thought about it.
Crackle crackle crackle—
The doctor, staring at the holographic image with bloodshot eyes, bit his fingernails.
Because of that, he didn’t pay any attention whether blood was leaking out of his fingertips or not.
No, he was already so focused on the “Eye of Truth” that he had no more energy left to devote to anything else.
“···Is the added part based on black magic? It’s very similar to the Hadesian lineage. It seems like a complex technique was applied, and there’s a mix of this and that here too···. And there’s even a fairly high-level chimera engineering. It seems like modern biotechnology is also mixed in quite a bit···.”
A doctor who mutters incessantly like a madman.
Although it wasn’t as good as actually meeting him in person, this holographic image was a very well-made magical tool, so I was able to get quite a bit of information out of it.
And the conclusion we reached was:
“···That’s right.”
Although there may be some differences in the details, it was clear that it was based on his struggles, hypotheses, arguments, theories, and proofs.
“Huh— haa— hoo, hoo.”
He bent down for a moment to catch his breath, then raised his head again and took in the sight of the muscular monster, over three meters tall, still being transmitted clearly.
That beautiful ‘work of art’ that is causing a ruckus against the powerful men of the Hanchang Fantastic Society.
“Who the hell···.”
The pinnacle of efficiency that he had designed but failed to implement.
The pinnacle of beauty that seems to embody the concept of evolution of living things.
An unprecedented creation that surpassed even the creations of God, despite being artificially created, and transcended their limits to reach a new level.
“How···? How how how how···!”
Deep inside his heart, facing it, an emotion he had never felt before began to boil over.
The doctor was mumbling to himself frantically, repeatedly grabbing his own face with his bloody hands.
Now, the fact that the research results were stolen was not that important.
The problem now was the other side.
“How the—!!”
I can’t understand.
How is that possible?
Even though he was seeing it with his own two eyes, he still did not understand it.
And that drove him crazy.
“Puhhhhhhhh! Pookiekick—!”
He established his own complex magic formula and existing research data based on science, and added black magic, chimera techniques, alchemical methods, and drug treatments, etc.
But that was something he had already done.
As a result, he failed.
Someone else came up with a masterpiece like that.
‘Who on earth? How…? Is that mad energy the key? No, no matter how I look at it, it’s a function that was added later. Then how on earth…’
Curiosity, doubt, inquiry, questioning, and skepticism about what is incomprehensible.
A feeling of inferiority, defeat, and jealousy due to the fact that someone unknown is above you.
And the humiliation of being forced to accept it.
It was something he could never have realized, as he did not know about the uniqueness of the avatar that the experimental subject Harley possessed, the skill called “adaptation”, and the abilities of the Immortal King Hans.
No, even if he had known that, his feelings probably wouldn’t have changed much.
In any case, it was clear that someone else succeeded before him.
“···There seems to be a limit to just looking at it like this.”
The doctor, who had been twisting his whole body while spitting out his suppressed anger for a while, suddenly stopped moving and whispered softly.
The endless pursuit of knowledge is the greatest virtue that an intelligent being can possess.
I couldn’t just sit back and do nothing when I encountered the unknown.
‘If it’s not enough, just fill it up.’
If only we could do a more proper analysis, things would be different.
Originally, research was conducted in a laboratory.
If only I could get my hands on that work of art, dissect it, and analyze it with certainty!
“Puhhhhhhhhh—.”
The doctor’s twisted eyes, soaked in some kind of heat, turned to the test subject, Harley, who appeared as a hologram.
