Episode 583 I didn’t know that
Why is that guy here?
I was momentarily flustered, but I didn’t show it. I can use my power to find out the other person’s identity, but the other person can’t.
In particular, the other party, unlike Shinepa or Jahal, is a being that rarely engages in outwardly visible activities.
Naturally, his face was not revealed, and none of the monster hunters from the Vega Party have ever met him in person.
Well, everyone I met was dead. There were only people who stood far away and I saw their silhouettes.
“There were passengers.”
“You came to me out of the blue. I’m glad you understood.”
A woman lightly tilting her wine glass. Even though the wine had a strong oaky aroma, it couldn’t hide the smell of blood hidden inside.
He snickers when I make a disgusted expression.
“I’ll sit down too.”
First of all, let’s act confidently. Let’s act like we don’t know who the guy next to us is.
The other person didn’t seem to care either, so he didn’t say anything. He looked at the message that came to mind without showing any sign of nervousness.
[Pamudar]
-NPC on the 92nd floor.
-One of the leaders of the vampire faction that exists in the Bant Castle!
-He does not create a separate force, but there are those who call themselves his followers!
-The system cannot read the information!
-You can’t read all of the other person’s information!
The name is unique, but what bothers me is that I can’t read all the information.
Even if it wasn’t blocked by the system, the simple meaning was that not all information could be read.
‘It’s strong. It’s on the same level as me, or even higher.’
It’s been a while since we’ve had something like this. And that’s understandable.
[Shinepa]
-NPC on the 92nd floor.
-One of the vampire factions that took over the entertainment district and gambling hall of Bant Castle.
-If you are captivated by her beauty, your blood will drain! Your tears will flow! Goodbye to this world.
.

There, you can read almost all the information about Shinepa, one of the vampires representing the vampire faction.
Since it doesn’t go into full detail, I think it’s probably one level below me.
In other words.
‘The strongest in the Bant Castle is Pamura.’
Now I understand how he was able to wander around alone and without any power.
It would be awkward to touch Shinepa or Jahaldo. If you work on it needlessly, there will be a backlash.
Even if you’re a vampire, your life is still precious. No matter how many traps you set, if a variable arises, your head will be cut off on the battlefield.

But that doesn’t mean we should ignore Shinepa, the guy standing behind her is also quite the threat.
[Herald]
-NPC on the 92nd floor.
-He is Shinepa’s confidant.
-He is a stronger being than her, but he calls himself a subordinate.
-He is the direct descendant of the one who pushed the previous vampire lord into crisis.
He is stronger than Shinepa. If he had built up his own power, he would have become the leader of an organization that could stand shoulder to shoulder with Shinepa.
I don’t know why he’s a subordinate, but that doesn’t matter.
‘Can I get out of this?’
It’s tougher than I expected.
At best, I thought there would be Shinepa and his subordinates. I didn’t know there would be three main-level NPCs gathered together.
The only good thing is that he hasn’t been aggressive towards me yet. If he had attacked me as soon as I entered, it would have been difficult.
Is it because they know I won’t be easily defeated? Anyway, if I run wild and somehow manage to escape, then from then on I’ll have to deal with the Lord’s Knights as well.
It was obvious that the guys were watching me as I was watching them.
For a while, only silence reigned.
Shinepa was the first to speak.
“I wanted to meet you anyway, Evil Eye.”
“How is it meeting you?”
“That’s weird.”
“no…….”
Her brow furrowed at his words. She was wearing a Pelline set, as if a battle might break out.
It hasn’t even grown wings yet, and it’s already like this.
Enough of the war of nerves. Anyway, the fact that the other person accepted me means that they want something from me.
There are four people in the room. The guy who guided me went out.
“It’s been a while since you’ve seen a climber. Is that all you can see?”
“Well, it’s not that different. I don’t know about other places, but this kind of thing happens regularly here. It’s a bit worse this time. Maybe it’s because of you?”
A life that extends subtly.
You probably already know that I’m a climber from my gear and the information I’ve collected on my own. It’s not really information that I need to hide.
“I heard you met Caliber.”
Shudder.

Pamudarra reacted slightly to her words. After all, corpse sculptors are notorious even among vampires. They would probably be the number one people they would want to kill.
Shinepa looks at Pamudara and lets out a small laugh.
“You came back safe and sound?”
“He ran away. He was no ordinary escapee.”
It’s not that I didn’t search after the guy ran away. What kind of opportunity was this that I should just watch? I searched the area using my powers, but I couldn’t find him.
The inevitable part is that we don’t know how far the space jump can travel, and even if it was nearby, if it escaped into a building, there would be no way to find it.

It’s impossible unless you’re destroying buildings all over the place. Maybe this is why Caliber operates in urban areas.
If you just look at what he does, it seems like he’s acting without thinking, but he’s actually quite thorough. That makes it even more annoying.
That’s all for now.
“Let me catch him.”
I brought up the main topic.
No lie. I’m actually thinking of working with vampires to catch him.
I have to go up, and to do that I have to grab Caliber.
“I already found him and put him in.”
“I ended up missing it though.”
“That means I need you.”
He shrugged his shoulders, lightly accepting the words of the noisy Sheenapa.
This is what I want from them.
“You can capture him again. The important thing is to find him. That’s all we have to do. He can’t run away forever.”
I can drive him in, but the problem is catching him when he runs away.
In terms of sheer numbers, vampires outnumber monster hunters. They have more people at their disposal. If you just call them in as mercenaries for business, there will be quite a few of them.
I don’t tell you to catch it yourself. Just give me a signal when Caliber appears and I can chase after it.
“Why should we do that?”
“You can’t find the caliber.”
Shinepa frowns at the unhesitating answer.
“If I could have caught it, I would have caught it a long time ago. The reason I’m stuck here now is because I couldn’t do that.”
-bang
“That’s because you were the one who made a fuss!”
That’s true.
Shinepa roughly puts down his wine glass and glares at him with murderous eyes.
So what.
“You’re not going to catch me? I came here to see each other with less bloodshed. I’m not going to take the easy way out.”
I grabbed the spoon on the table. The sword rose above it.
“It’s easy to disguise yourself as a knight. If I bring the knights, this boring chase will end, right?”
Of course, I have no intention of involving the Knights Templar.
If they find Caliber, my contribution will decrease. If the conditions to move up are met, then it’s fortunate, but if not, there’s no answer.
It’ll be hard to find the culprit who attacked Miya.
You can just ignore it. It’s easier and less risky. It’s even a neutral NPC whose memories are reset when the climber leaves.
but…….
‘I don’t feel like it.’
A new opportunity given to NPCs.

Shail, the spirit wizard you meet in the final scenario of the 80th floor. He was also a neutral NPC, but we spent a lot of time together, and when all the chapters ended… … .
‘I got one last chance and went out.’
I still don’t know exactly what a neutral NPC is. What I do know, though, is that they aren’t just pieces of data created by the real system.
If that were the case, I wouldn’t have gotten the chance.
Was this one-story world called life to NPCs? If they continue to live as people and treat me as a person, then I should do the same.
To him who offers a sword, give a sword. To him who offers a hand, give a hand.
It was simple logic.
“I don’t intend to make a big deal out of it. You wouldn’t want that either. But it wouldn’t make sense to just leave Caliber alone. Even if it weren’t for me, the Lord showed interest, so who knows when or how it could turn out.”
I’m asking if it would be a good idea to join hands before the lord gets involved in earnest.
Although they are said to be villains, they are NPCs who live here. If possible, wouldn’t they all want to live in a better environment?
If so, then there is a possibility. Of course, the other person won’t completely trust me either.
How could I possibly join hands with someone after all that I’ve been through so far?
“Whew, originally I was going to catch you and tear you to pieces. The damage would be enormous. Crouching and hiding? Not hard. What’s the big deal?”
What a scary thing to say. To tear someone to pieces.
The fact that there is no problem with selling one’s body itself means that there is also an intention to continue the current situation for a long time.
This is difficult.
“I don’t trust you either. We have a lot of karma built up against each other.”
“Ahem. As always, trust is something that can be built up little by little.”
“Stop talking nonsense.”
Shinepa lets out a small sigh and tilts her wine glass.
“I know what you want to say, but it’s a bit weak to say. We were already talking about Caliber.”
Was this the reason you were with Pamadara?
I was wondering why he came since he had been sitting quietly until now.
Did this guy also reach out to grab Caliber?
‘That’s a mess. Who would have thought that someone would hit first?’
Even since they are both vampires, they will be able to communicate. Unlike Jahal, they do not run separate businesses, so they are far from conflicts over vested interests.
Even if I were you, I would probably join forces with Pamudara instead of me.
Shinepa’s next words were beyond my expectations.
“You said you met Caliber, right? We know Caliber’s true identity.”
“Yeah, Caliber… huh?”
What do you know?
“Caliber is my brother.”
Pamudar, who had been silent for so long, opened his mouth.
ah.
I didn’t know that.

* * *
Prelda followed Evileye and came close to the castle.
The closer you get to Naeseong, the more affluent the area is, so security is tight and there are a lot of people, so you have to be careful about your movements.
The clothes that focused on practicality were far removed from the clothing worn by people on the street, and attracted unnecessary stares.
It wasn’t a very good view.
‘It’s hard to find since it’s located in a place like this.’
Monster hunters were rough and sometimes rich, but they were basically broke.
As you replenish the items consumed while fighting vampires, repair broken equipment, and recuperate your injured body, the profits you earn quickly disappear.
Accustomed to a rough life, I secretly avoided places where formality and pretense were mixed. This was also a place I did not visit often for the same reason.
To begin with, it was a place where vampires rarely showed themselves.
One way or another, monster hunters tend to gather where monsters roam.
“What should I do?”
Frelda, who had killed the sound and climbed up a relatively high wall, looked at the building Evil Eye was in.
A six-story building decorated ornately. Guards with sturdy physiques are visible from the outside.
Judging by the momentum and the faint smell of blood, it was definitely a vampire. Others would have had to use a special solution to detect it, but she was different.
‘They’re capable of some level of mutation.’
She was a traitor. A hunter who betrayed the vampires.
They are simply using these people, who can use their abilities, as guards at the entrance to the building.
I had a strange feeling of unease, not knowing how many monsters there would be inside.
-Gugugugugugugugu
-Kwaaaaaaaang!
On the top floor of the building, windows were blown out and red flames shot up.
