<[Episode 19] Guerrilla Warfare (3)>
Group C, which had received survivors from Groups A and B, arrived in front of the Prosperity Church with the people.
But crossing the bridge was never easy.
Toodoodoodoo-
Because they were shooting guns at us from the other side.
It was a natural reaction.
From the perspective of those guarding the bridge, the only beings that have tried to cross the bridge so far have been vampires.
Moon Ji-hoon and Moon Sang-hoon spoke to the leader of Group C with embarrassed expressions.
“What should I do?”
“The reaction is too harsh. I have no intention of listening to this side of the story.”
Then Group C’s leader, Kim Min-ho, answered with a sly smile.
“What should I do? I have to break through it.”
“yes?”
The twins Moon Ji-hoon and Moon Sang-hoon looked confused.
Well, if you try to break through it, you can.
Because the weapons on this side were not bad either.
There were plenty of rifles, and there were also retainers with special abilities.
“But those people aren’t vampires, they’re just normal people?”
I couldn’t commit murder.
“Besides, no matter how much superpower you have, if you get shot you’re done!”
And I thought that if we were to confront each other, I couldn’t guarantee how much damage we would suffer.
Of course, this was a decision made by brothers Moon Ji-hoon and Moon Sang-hoon because they were ignorant of Kim Min-ho’s abilities.
“By the way, is this your first time seeing me?”
“yes?”
While the twin brothers were bewildered, Kim Min-ho’s already muscular body began to rise up in colorful patterns.
Soon the texture of his skin changed.
Kim Min-ho, who had been radiating an aura like a solid rock, opened his mouth.
“Just wait here quietly.”
Even though my pronunciation was slightly leaky due to my lips being so stiff, it felt like my voice had become much stronger.
and.
Kung kung!
Kim Min-ho raced across the bridge like a tank.
Doo doo doo doo-
Bullets poured down as if it were a given, but he ran forward without even blinking.
Tingtting-
The concentrated barrage of bullets fired with terrifying momentum simply bounced off Kim Min-ho’s chest without any effect.
As Kim Min-ho pushed in with the momentum of a bulldozer, screams began to pour out from the other side.
Because it was something I had never experienced before while dealing with vampires.
“Retreat! Retreat!”
Kim Min-ho, who noticed them trying to retreat in panic, stamped his foot hard.
Kuuung!
Kim Min-ho’s heavy body flew like a shell, creating a small crater in the asphalt.
Kwaaaaang!
Kim Min-ho, who had squeezed his way through the people who had set up a barrier with the sound of the ground shaking, stood in front of the person who had given the order to retreat.
“Nice to meet you.”
Kim Min-ho’s strong voice echoed through the heavy silence.
“My name is Kim Min-ho, and I belong to the Supply Team 3 of the Sports Complex Group.”
The battle team leader, who was shocked by the sudden situation, introduced himself without realizing it.
Because the words that came out of Kim Min-ho’s mouth were so familiar.
“I am Han Kang-min, the leader of the 2nd combat unit of the Central Dong Group.”
“Nice to meet you.”
Kim Min-ho spoke to Han Kang-min, who had yet to accept the situation.
“We are currently rescuing survivors from the vampire zone. Please clear the way.”
The leader of the vampires, Jinjo.
Vlad Tepes.
As the lord of the vampires, he was fundamentally different from the ordinary vampires in Ulsan.
Unlike them, who were once human, Chepes were born with noble blood.
‘That kind of me…’
Vlad looked down at his trembling hands.
In the process of breaking through the barrier protecting the World Tree, the right hand that had been reduced to charcoal had new flesh growing back. However, even though all the wounds had clearly been regenerated, the burning pain seemed to be returning.
The cause was obvious.
The energy just spread out in all directions.
Because its energy matched exactly the wavelength of the thing that had burned his right hand.
‘…Are you saying that I am feeling afraid?’
That shouldn’t have happened.
As an heir to great blood, I had to maintain my dignity.
Vlad forced his hands to stop shaking.
‘Even so, what exactly is the wavelength of this power…’

I couldn’t understand.
‘That kind of power can only be established if you are confined to that place.’
So, the subject of the curtain had to be together with the World Tree.
But why?
‘You mean you can feel that power around here?’
I couldn’t tell what it was, but I just felt a surge of energy with a similar wavelength sweeping across the area.
“hmm.”
In my head, I thought that I should go to the epicenter of the energy wave right away and figure out what was going on, but when I actually tried to move, the fear of the unknown force held me back.
“Park Jae-chan, Lee Yeon-do, and Choi Jeong-il are dead.”
Whether it was intentional or not, three high-level vampires lost their lives almost simultaneously.
But their deaths were a bit strange.
The higher-level vampires were those that Vlad himself had blessed with blood.
Although they were people with lowly roots and had clear limitations, I chose those who could, however clumsily, handle the blessing of blood.
They weren’t the kind of people who would go anywhere and die easily.
But he died.
‘And this time again, the power of the blessing completely disappeared.’
It was the same as Jeong Yeong-hun and Ko In-seok who died in Busan.
Normally, when a high-level vampire died, the blessing of blood that had been amplified by the life force it had consumed was supposed to return.
That was normal.
But nothing came back.
As if its existence had completely disappeared from this world.
‘I need to find out what happened.’
Rather than going to the place where this incident was believed to have originated, Vlad chose to first visit the place where the high-level vampires had disappeared.
All while doing my best to rationalize away the fear welling up from the depths of my heart.
‘The night of the full moon is coming soon anyway. No matter what we do, we can’t go against the trend.’
The higher-level vampires wouldn’t have died so easily.
The enemies and the battlefield they create will be filled with blood and death, and all of it will be offered as a sacrifice on the night of the full moon.
It was as if the enemies were unknowingly helping the ritual progress.
‘It doesn’t matter either way, it will all become a sacrifice that opens the blood festival.’
So, now the first thing to do is to find out the reason why the power of blessing has disappeared.
With that thought, he moved towards the building closest to the three dead vampires.
When you get there.
“……?”
He felt a strong sense of discomfort.
‘Why is it so neat?’
It was strange.
It was the scene of the death of a high-level vampire.
The building, which I had expected to be in shambles due to the traces of battle, was as clean as usual. There wasn’t even a single trace of blood.
“There’s no blood?”
His face hardened.
Any war is a process that produces countless deaths and soaks the land with blood.
But here, I couldn’t smell any blood or death.
It was as if all the vampires gathered here had evaporated en masse.
“earthly…?”
We searched the entire building, but not a single body was found.
The entire vampire army that was with the high-level vampire Lee Yeon-do has completely evaporated.
‘Oh no, this can’t be happening.’
That was when.
“hmm?”
I felt my connection with another high-level vampire being severed.
It means dead.
‘I smell blood.’
I flew without hesitation towards the place where the smell of blood was strongly emanating from nearby in real time.
And Vlad, who had been concentrating all his attention there, could realize something strange.
“… The smell of blood is getting fainter?”
The identity of the sensation that I could not understand at all was confirmed with my own eyes only after arriving there.
“……what?”
There, humans were hunting vampires.
An arrow of light pierced the heart, and the silver knights led by halberds stabbed the chest.
Toodoodoodoo-
The tiny chunks of metal fired by the humans pierced the hearts of the vampires.
I could understand up to that point.
Because humans with strong powers existed in the original world.
however.
Slurp
The corpses of the vampires that died at their hands began to disappear in an instant.
The blood that gushed from the heart soaked the floor for a moment, but as the corpse disappeared, all traces of it disappeared as well.
‘this…’
It wasn’t just the bodies that disappeared.
It was evident in his eyes that he could feel the flow of energy.
The humans were now greedily devouring everything belonging to the dead vampire.
Only then did I understand why the blood blessing did not return from the higher-level vampire.
‘…This power is dangerous.’
We had to get rid of those humans immediately.
Fortunately, the power they possessed was extremely insignificant compared to the authority they displayed.
“I’ll kill you all right here, right now.”
At that moment.
Slurp-
“!!??”
The moment he was about to move, all the people there disappeared without a trace.
“under.”
I couldn’t help but laugh at the absurd situation.
Soon his laughter grew louder.
“Hahahaha!”
His expression, which had been smiling like that for a long time, gradually hardened and turned cold.
“I can’t help it.”
Unfortunately, there were no other options left.
Even though it’s imperfect.
“We have no choice but to start right now.”
“Whew. Whoosh.”
It was close.
Who would have thought that guy would start moving right when I was leveling up?
‘If I had been just a little bit later, I could have been in big trouble.’
In the midst of the pain of leveling up, I was able to use the summoning of both Group A and Group B based on Yoo Han-gil’s voice.
Anyway, I successfully defeated vampire number 9.
For a first operation, it was quite successful.
Even though I couldn’t do it, I managed to kill almost a thousand common vampires and four high-level vampires.
In fact, it was important to reduce the number of high-level vampires by four, as the regular vampires could easily handle it as long as they had a smooth supply of guns.
‘The problem is that he probably knows us now.’
The biggest reason this guerrilla operation was successful was because the bastard was unaware of our strength.
Since a significant portion of their power was exposed this time, it was clear that the vampires would also prepare for it.
‘It will be nearly impossible to pursue this major without any harm in the future.’
It would be impossible to use a strategy as bold as that now.
but.
‘It’s not that difficult to gradually reduce their power.’
If you just use Seo Ye-jin’s abilities properly, it would be possible to wipe out most vampires.
When Yoo Hye-rin’s sanity recovered, she planned to carry out terrorism using Seo Ye-jin’s mice, while using Moon Byung-ho to quickly eliminate the vampires that had spread like tumors throughout the group of survivors here.
‘First, we will completely eat the area north of Taehwa River.’
Rather than being a group of survivors who play in the hands of vampires, the idea was to create a force that could fight on equal terms with them.
‘You can steadily reduce the number of high-level vampires by using Moon Byung-ho’s abilities and assassination with piercing arrows.’
I was satisfied because the results of the first operation were much better than expected.
however.
“Jae, Jaehyun! We’re in big trouble!”
Things in this world don’t always go as planned.
He asked towards Yuhan-gil.
“What’s going on?”
“Ugh, the vampires are running wild!”
