<[Episode 17] Preliminary Battle (3)>
‘Byungho, nice’
I’ve received numerous daily quest rewards so far, but only twice have I received skill points.
‘It was Byung-ho back then too.’
Once a character is a blessing, always a blessing?
After gaining the skill of transparency through the contract of subordination, even my presence became transparent, but I didn’t expect it to appeal to me like this.
As I was thinking about using the free skill points I got thanks to Moon Byung-ho, Seo Ye-jin tilted her head and asked.
“What’s wrong, brother? Is something good happening?”
“Hmm. I won the lottery.”
“Is it the lottery?”
He said this while ruffling Seo Ye-jin’s hair, who was tilting her head with a serious expression.
“That means something good has happened.”
In fact, I had one remaining skill point that I was planning to use to increase my shop skill.
Considering the speed at which I level up, I thought I would fill up all the shop slots before I reached level 30.
So I never thought about where to invest my skill points.
I looked at the skill window and thought.
‘The most common skill is maintaining dignity…’
Registering a new member, summoning a new member, drawing a new member, etc.
All the new features come from the skill of maintaining dignity.
This was a skill that made me look forward to seeing what new features would be added this time.
‘Should I level up my warehouse skills?’
These days, even the warehouse’s capacity of 200 kg feels woefully inadequate.
Thanks to the ‘maintain status quo’ function that preserves the kinetic energy of the moment it is stored in the warehouse, it is now a skill that is used more often in battle than in the warehouse.
Even in this battle with the advanced vampire, I was able to summon the warheads stored in the warehouse in front of the vampire’s eyes and take away both of its eyes.
‘It helped me a lot more than I thought.’
The next candidate was the Absolute’s Eye skill, which is my most used skill along with the warehouse skill.
‘It’s now an indispensable skill.’
There is probably no skill that is as versatile as the Eye of the Absolute.
Now that I’ve gotten used to multiple fields of view, I can increase the field of view by three or four without any burden, and it’s possible to increase the field of view by up to seven.
‘But I don’t really feel the need to raise my skill level.’
Leveling up might add some amazing features, but I was satisfied with the current features so I didn’t really see a reason to level up.
The next thing that caught my eye was ‘The Absolute Health of the Corner House’.
Would leveling up be a little less painful if I uploaded this?
I had an impulsive thought for a moment, but soon regained my senses and shook my head.
‘It’s too much of a gamble’
It would be a disaster if you leveled up for no reason and ended up getting something like ‘increased regeneration’.
I already possessed Owen’s skill, ‘Primeval Vitality’.
This skill was obtained when Owen’s trust level reached 100, and it was a skill that drastically increased regeneration when injured.
‘There’s also the fairy’s power there.’
It is a summoned beast that is placed in the main house where the World Tree is located, and it greatly increases the natural recovery rate within the area whenever it levels up.
The fairy’s level had already risen to 9, and it was showing 900% efficiency.
It was possible to see minor wounds heal in real time.
And leaving all this aside,
‘I won’t get hurt.’
To begin with, I was a body that couldn’t leave the safe confines of my home.
The same would apply if, by chance, a vampire or monster entered the area, as in the case of Jegal Seong-gyu.
The moment they turn against me, my head will explode and it will be over.
‘Even if the skill points were obtained for free, I can’t waste them like this.’
After that, the invisible hand, the restoration of the corners of the house, and the door to the absolute.
I reviewed the functions of all the skills once again and thought about which skills I should invest points in.
The choice I made after much thought.
‘After all, the safe one is the best.’
[Do you really want to level up the Dignity Maintenance Skill of the Absolute Corner?]
“okay.”
Woof!
The skill window flashed with golden light,
[The skill to maintain the dignity of the absolute ruler in the corner of the house has reached Lv. 6.]
A message appeared saying that a new feature had been added.
“huh?”
I blinked when I saw its name.
‘…Is this true?’
********
Room 2902 featured Ha Dong-gun, Seo Ye-jin, and her father.
I was the first to speak.
“Considering the bastard’s movements, it is possible that the vampire bastards’ home base is Ulsan.”
After a pause, he continued speaking.
“In the worst case scenario, the entire Ulsan could have fallen under the vampire’s influence.”
“!!”

The expressions of those who understood what I said suddenly darkened.
Ulsan was an industrial city and a metropolitan city with a population of over 1 million.
If the vampires had fed on all those people,
“Of course, there will be more high-level vampires. And if you think about what the high-level vampire we caught last time said, there must be beings of a higher level than them.”
It was certain that there existed a vampire of such high rank that even a high-ranking vampire would have to refer to him as ‘that person’ and use the highest honorifics.
The high-level vampire we hunted this time didn’t say much, but at the last moment he said this.
(Two guys… no, if you had brought just one more, you would have been the ones to die.)
If there were only three or four high-level vampires in the organization, they wouldn’t have been able to say something like that.
It must have been quite a stretch for him, as a high-level vampire, to have come this far.
But the bastard said that he could easily mobilize three high-level vampires if he wanted to.
He asked the Hadonggun party.
“If… two or more high-level vampires appear, are you confident you can deal with them?”
After a moment of silence, Ha Dong-geon answered.
“It doesn’t seem like it will be easy.”
“okay.”
It’s not like there was no way at all.
‘It’s possible if you make a fuss.’
Because they were registered as vassals, they could artificially level up by spending money.
If we could raise the level of Hadonggun’s party to level 50, which is the same level as a high-level vampire, we would have a good chance of winning.
‘The problem is that it costs hundreds of billions.’
From level 45, it costs a whopping 10 billion to level up by one level.
Fortunately, thanks to the month of hunting, I was able to gain a level or two, but even so, it still cost a lot of money.
Then my father raised his hand and said.
“Son, I think I can handle three or four of them by myself, but if you come with your mother, I think we can do more than that.”
My father’s words were not an exaggeration.
If you use the physical amplification effect that activates when you are with your mother and one of her skills, ‘King’s Blessing’, you will obtain a physical specification that is even stronger than what you have now.
And if Kim Da-jeong’s blessing were added to that, he could really sweep away all the upper-level vampires by himself.
‘but….’
Can you handle the guy that the higher-level vampires revere as ‘him’?
‘There is too little information.’
That was when.
“I will go to Ulsan for reconnaissance.”
It was Kim Geon.
“Are you Mr. Kim Gun?”
“Yes. With my ability, I can go to Ulsan and come back in no time.”
Kim Gun, who became one with Kkamang, was able to fly at speeds of over 100 km/h.
The distance from here to Ulsan is about 50km, so if you fly hard enough, you can get there in less than thirty minutes.
The problem was that if it was a vampire field as I expected, Kim Geon would be in danger.
Still.
“then….”
It was necessary.
“I’ll keep watching. If it gets dangerous, just give me a moment. It’ll only take a few seconds.”
“yes.”
If you can give me just a few seconds, I can use the summoning spell to save him.
“Please take good care of me.”
Seo Nuri prepared to head to Busan according to his instructions.
‘What kind of monster is that over there?’
Two high-level vampires are dead.
Although both of them were treated as weirdos, they were not weak people.
Rather, he was considered quite strong even among the upper-level vampires.
‘You have to be careful.’
The reason he entrusted the reconnaissance mission to Seonu-ri, who was weaker than the two men, was because of the special abilities she possessed.
The true vampires who received power directly from him each had special abilities that utilized blood.
Charalak
Blood spurted out from behind her as she climbed up to the roof of the building, weaving itself here and there.
It gradually formed wings of membrane.
Flutter
Seonuri, who had been moving a few times, boldly threw herself from the rooftop.
At the same time, it spread its wings and flew high into the sky.
The buildings beneath her feet gradually became smaller, and soon she could see the entire city of Ulsan all at once.
The ability to fly.
It could be said that it was an ability specialized in reconnaissance.
‘Let’s check quickly and get back.’
After a while, she entered the Busan sky and took a quick look around Busan.
This was because it was not known exactly where Jeong Yeong-hun and Ko In-seok died.
The plan was to take a general look at the sky and, if there were no abnormalities, examine it in more detail.
however.
‘What is that?’
Seo Nuri doubted her own eyes.
A small town near the beach.
There was an incredibly large tree growing there.
‘What size is that?’
A tree that ignored perspective stood tall in the middle of the city.
What was even more strange was that none of the common monsters were visible around me.
Seonu-ri could tell intuitively.
‘That tree, both of them must have died from that tree.’
It was a tree that looked unusual at first glance.
however.
‘hmm?’
There were a few more odd things.
‘…human being?’
The point was that there were humans wandering around right near that tree.
The sun was beginning to set, and lights were beginning to appear here and there.
At first, Seonu-ri thought they were just set on fire.
But upon closer inspection, it wasn’t that.
‘Electricity…? You’re using electricity??’
The lights illuminating their home were LED bulbs.
‘I need to look a little closer’
While flying carefully downwards, hiding in the darkness,
Bam
“hmm?”
A transparent wall blocked her path.
[No entry.]
And then a strange holographic window appeared in front of her.
‘…This is?’
While Seo-nuri was flustered by the sudden situation.
[Would you like to obtain citizenship?]
[Yes/No]
A new window appears.
‘What is this?
It seemed that the situation meant that one would need to obtain citizenship to pass through this transparent wall.
As soon as she understood that, Seo Nuri felt goosebumps all over her body.
‘You recognized me!’
Suddenly, he remembered that two higher-level vampires more powerful than him had died helplessly here in Busan.
‘Oh, I have to run away!’
Seonuri, who judged that further reconnaissance was dangerous, flapped her wings desperately.
Her body quickly flew into the sky again.
It was at that time that I was flying towards my home base, Ulsan, paralyzed with fear.
“
“What is that?”
There was a place where the entire city was emitting light.
It almost seemed as if only that place had not been struck by destruction.
The lights pouring out of the apartment looked like stars. There were even cars driving on the road.
‘What the heck is this?’
Seonu-ri felt an inexplicable fear at the sight, and quickly escaped from there by flapping her wings powerfully again.
