〈[Episode 20] BLOODY FEST (2) [Revised]〉
[The four gates of the east, west, south, and north are activated.]
‘The four gates…?’
When I checked the skill window, a newly opened function was shining.
[Dongdaemun Opening]
[Seodaemun Opening]
[Namdaemun Opening]
[Bukdaemun Opening]
When I checked, I found that each of the four gates had unique functions, and among them, the function of Namdaemun was exactly what I was looking for.
“This is it.”
It was a function that allowed for large-scale movement without requiring mental strength.
‘Namdaemun open.’
Jiiing-
As soon as the order to open Namdaemun was given, the space south of the outpost began to distort and the entire area began to shake slightly as if a minor earthquake had occurred.
Kugugu
and.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The space with the transparent barrier was set ablaze with brilliance.
“Gyaaaah!”
“Oh, it’s fire!”
“damage!”
As it happened to be the entrance to the Homeplus building, there was quite a crowd there, and people who saw the sudden fireworks were startled and took a few steps back.
I was watching the whole scene through the eyes of the Absolute.
Soon, people’s reactions changed.
“What, what is it?”
“uh?”
This is because, beyond the space that had been burning brightly for a moment, a completely different space had spread out.
People were staring blankly at the scenery beyond the door.
There.
“…ocean?”
The view of Busan Port was spread out.
Because it was a landscape facing the land, there was a horizon instead of a horizon, but it was an impressive place with the salty smell coming from the vast sea and the sight of ships anchored at the dock.
‘Has it already expanded to this point?’
The area of the house that started from the written word had now expanded to the Gamman Pier.
With this level up, you can finally reach the sea.
‘Is it connected to the annex installed in the main house?’
At Busan Station, the center of Seomyeon and Nampo-dong, the main base area and the annex area overlapped each other.
‘I thought I could endure this level up, but is it because of this?’
If the overlapping realms really did reduce the pain, it seemed like it would be okay to expect the pain to ease for a while.
Because the growing areas will overlap to some extent until the two areas are completely merged.
‘Anyway, it was a success.’
Namdaemun was a kind of installation.
It was a gate that could only be installed in a place with a transparent curtain at the edge of the area, and once installed, it would remain in place for three days.
Moreover, Namdaemun was wide enough for five or six adults to pass through at once, and tall enough to be overwhelming when standing in front of it.
‘If this is the case, we can easily accommodate all the citizens of Ulsan who come here.’
The vast area of the headquarters in Busan was large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.
Of course, a guide will be needed to ensure smooth movement.
[Saerom.]
Park Sae-rom, who was busy guiding people coming into Homeplus, answered my call in surprise.
“Yes, yes!”
[How many seats are left?]
“That… I guess I can accept it, but I think the problem lies after that.”
[I see. Then, please tell the newly accepted people to move through Namdaemun.]
“Huh? Namdaemun?”
[Can you please come to the Lotteria on the first floor of Homeplus?]
“Oh, yeah!”
As soon as Park Sae-rom met the loyalty standard this time, he was accepted as a vassal and even signed a contract of subordination.
Thanks to that, I’m now down to just one registration slot left, but I have no regrets.
Name: Park Sae-rom (Lv. 40) [+]
Title: [Twenty-Fourth Seed] [Viscount] [Wizard]
Trust: 52 Loyalty: 68
Awakening Abilities: Shadow Movement, Shadow Clone
Experience distribution rate: 200% (+200%)
★Quest Granting”
Park Sae-rom, who was a natural, not only gained the title of Viscount, but also gained the new S-rank ability of Shadow Clone.
As a bonus, the efficiency of the shadow movement ability that existed before was improved several times.
Slurp
Park Sae-rom, who had entered the shadow of the building and then suddenly emerged from the south side of Homeplus, blankly looked up at the sight of Namdaemun.

“and….”
The arched frame made of flames and the view of other spaces within it were breathtaking.
“Shit, this is fu*king awesome…”
He ordered Park Sae-rom while hearing exclamations that came out along with harsh curses.
[Newcomers can be guided past Namdaemun.]
“Oh, I understand!”
After leaving the guidance there to Park Sae-rom, he used the communication ring to contact Kim Da-bin.
[Ms. Dabin.]
[Yes, Jaehyun.]
Immediately, Kim Da-bin’s telepathy was heard.
[Something urgent has come up.]
[Please speak.]
[I think we need to accept some refugees.]
[What is the scale?]
[I don’t know the exact number, but I’d estimate it’s anywhere from a few thousand to tens of thousands.]
[······.]
Kim Da-bin’s telepathy was not heard, perhaps because it was on an unexpected scale.
I was the first to break the silence.
[I am currently planning to send people to Gamman Port. For now, please accommodate people in a nearby apartment. I will personally provide them with supplies and basic functions.]
[…Can I possibly get some support for Hye-rin?]
Whenever I saw Kim Da-bin looking for Yoo Hye-rin, it seemed like Yoo Hye-rin was quite capable in administrative work.
But unfortunately, Yoo Hye-rin was currently in a state of unconsciousness after exhausting all her mental power by spewing out poison gas to the limit.
[I’m sorry, that seems difficult.]
[⋯There’s nothing I can do. I’ll report back once the situation is over.]
[thank you.]
Now, all we have to do is check on the people who keep coming and grant them citizenship, and Kim Da-bin will take care of the rest.
‘now….’
We can now focus on supporting those who have passed away with peace of mind.
‘First of all.’
I needed to know where the bastard was.
He asked Seo Ye-jin, who was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed and sweating profusely.
“Yejin. Is that guy still there?”
“Ugh. It’s still not moving.”
She was currently guiding the survivors and also monitoring Jinjo’s location.
It was Yoo Han-gil’s role to observe the movements of the Jinjo, including the upper-level vampires, but after the vampires went berserk, Yoo Han-gil’s mental power was depleted.
He was currently exhausted and passed out next to Yoo Hye-rin.
‘Even if he’s not moving, why can’t I see the other high-level vampires?’
The Eye of the Absolute was still active while granting citizenship to people and creating Namdaemun.
But none of those who have gone so far have encountered a high-level vampire.
‘It’s frustrating not being able to know the movements of the high-level vampires.’
Seo Ye-jin’s abilities were being used with a focus on guiding the survivors.
This means that, except for the truly dangerous Jinjo, they have given up on finding the locations of the remaining high-level vampires.
‘What happened?’
If they had started going berserk like normal vampires, it would have been obvious.
It would be a disaster that could not be compared to the rampage of ordinary vampires. It would be impossible not to know since they would make a fuss about it, but there was no sign of it until now.
‘Where have all the high-level vampires gone?’
First, I focused on the eyes of the absolute being that was shining on Moon Byung-ho.
Moon Byung-ho was given a special mission the moment the rampage occurred.
The goal was to find the location where vampires number 5 and 6 were hiding in the survivor group.
If possible, it was to deal with the high-level vampires hiding among the survivor group.
Because the upper-level vampires that let their guard down were surprisingly weak.
however.
‘does not exist?’
There wasn’t a single one there that looked like a high-level vampire.
That was when.
“Brother!”
“huh?”
“It seems like high-level vampires are gathering here!”
“what?”
When the vampires started to run wild, it was expected that high-level vampires would rush in in large numbers north of the Taehwa River.
I assumed that they would launch an all-out attack during the confusion, so I stationed my men there with my father, but my prediction turned out to be misguided.
Thanks to the powerful force deployed, they were able to block numerous rampage vampires trying to cross the bridge, but they were unable to kill a single high-level vampire.
‘I don’t know what you’re doing, but…’
I had a gut feeling that I shouldn’t leave it alone.
‘What about the possibility of it being a trap?’
I thought about it for a moment, but the other person knew almost nothing about my abilities.
Just by looking at the successful completion of the guerrilla operation, we could be sure that they knew little about us.
‘They probably don’t know that they are being observed in real time.’
So what does all this mean now?
‘no way…’
What are they planning to do by taking advantage of the chaos created by the spy vampires planted in the survivor group going berserk?
Their real purpose is.
‘Are you killing time?’
I couldn’t think of anything else.
Then why is he trying to waste time?
That was when.
The sight of the vampires running wild and running wild now reminded me of the awakened state of a high-level vampire.
The reason we were able to deal with the high-level vampires so easily in today’s guerrilla operation was because we killed them before they could fully display their abilities.
‘The high-level vampire who came all the way to Busan suddenly became stronger during the battle with Ha Dong-geon’s party.’
What if the same thing applies to him?
If we assume that a monster vampire of level 62 would need time to fully draw out its power, this would perfectly explain the current situation.
‘then.’
I had to move right now.
[Mr. Kim Geon. Please move towards the bridge right now.]
Fortunately, among the newly acquired features, there was one that was suitable for the current situation.
‘Bukdaemun Gate Opens.’
Unlike Namdaemun, which can only be installed on transparent barriers in the corner area of the house.
Jiiing-
The North Gate could be opened to any place where the eyes of the Absolute could reach.
Choaaaak!
Blue waves surged from where Seo Ye-jin’s mouse was.
Tsk tsk tsk-
The water that had been surging powerfully quickly froze.
and.
Kwajik!
The middle part collapsed.
“hmm?”
A man’s figure was reflected in it.
It was Lee Jun-hyeok fighting vampires on the bridge crossing the Taehwa River.
“What? Junhyuk, did you do it?”
“no.”
“Then what? Did those newbies do it? The twins who use ice?”
I said to him as he stared into the semicircle of ice.
[Mr. Junhyeok, please take your father and cross that door right now.]
“…Are you talking about now?”
At that moment, a rampaging vampire rushed towards Lee Jun-hyeok.
“Kyaaaaah!”
Lee Jun-hyeok reached out his hand nonchalantly.
Okay then.
Phew!
The blood in the vampire’s body burst its heart according to Lee Jun-hyeok’s will.
Blood is also water.
I was helpless against Lee Jun-hyeok’s control water ability.
[You have hunted an intermediate vampire (Lv. 32).]
[Gain a large amount of experience points.]
[1,091,123,887 won was deposited into the wallet of the absolute owner of the house.]
Lee Jun-hyeok continued speaking as if nothing had happened.
“Is that okay? If we leave now, we’ll be helpless against the vampires.”
[Don’t worry about that.]
“All right.”
Lee Jun-hyeok crossed the Bukdaemun Gate with his father and most of the combat troops there.
By the time they all crossed over.
“We have arrived.”
Kim Geon, who was flying across the sky in the form of a crow human, arrived on the Taehwa River Bridge.
There were several bridges crossing the Taehwa River, but there were three main bridges that the survivors desperately tried to block.
However, due to the guerrilla operation we carried out today, there were hardly any vampires in those two places.
There was only one bridge where the rampage vampires were currently gathered.
As the power of the vassals blocking the place disappeared, the rampaging vampires were madly charging towards the human camp.
I calmly used the Gate of the Absolute.
‘Seodaemun Opening’
Seodaemun’s function was a bit unusual.
Woohoo-
It would be more appropriate to describe it as a closed space rather than a door.
An infinite maze that can only be created within the confines of your home.
That was the role of Seodaemun.
The space where the beginning and the beginning are connected like a Möbius strip seemed like a structure suitable for confining or punishing a being.
however.
‘Open shop. Buy barbell.’
I was thinking of using it a little differently.
There was nothing in the independent space created by Seodaemun.
The entrance and exit of that place, which had become a perfect vacuum without air, were connected to the ground and the sky respectively.
The top and bottom parts of the vertically elongated space are connected to create one continuous space.
As soon as the 200kg barbell was summoned into the space created in the air above the Seomyeon apartment complex, it began to fall downward due to the acceleration of gravity.
And the speed of Babel, which entered through the entrance on the ground and came out through the exit in the sky, continued to increase.
‘Just a little more.’
That thing that was accelerating again and again in a space where air resistance disappeared.
‘storage.’
I was dragged into the warehouse.
‘It’s only 200kg, so it won’t have a huge destructive power…’
It wouldn’t be enough to destroy one of your legs.
‘Next time I should level up the warehouse or something…’
The next moment.
Kim Gun summoned it from the sky while flying.
A 200kg barbell was summoned into the air inside Seodaemun, using gravitational acceleration to increase its speed to its limit.
and.
Wheaaaaaaaaa!
It tore through the air, creating a long stream of flame.
The moment it, which had turned into a tiny meteorite, crashed into the bridge.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!
A column of water shot up high with a huge roar.
[You have hunted a low-level vampire (Lv. 29).]
[You have hunted a low-level vampire (Lv. 27).]
[You have hunted an intermediate vampire (Lv. 35).]
The bridge collapsed as if it were nothing, and all the vampires at the center of the explosion were vaporized.
I thought as I witnessed the scene of overwhelming destruction.
‘If you do this well…’
Before entering the building where Jinjo is, I think I should first knock that guy down.
[Mr. Lee Jun-hyeok. I’m sorry, but please step away from the building. I have something to do.]
