[234] To the North (3)
[It might be dangerous.]
Heoju muttered. Jennyella, showing her fangs, was feeling a strong appetite for her Lee Seong-min.
Jennyella felt thirsty and hungry for the first time in a long time. She’s been alive for hundreds of years, but it’s been a long time since she’s felt her desires so blatantly.
There has never been a lack of food. As a personal hobby, I enjoyed the depravity of desperate people, and enjoyed the lack of stimulation and meals in the process.
Aside from that, I had enough food to survive. Just today, I filled my stomach with the blood of a young girl.
Still, I am hungry and thirsty. True to his instincts, Lee Seong-min’s keen senses linked everything to his appetite.
Everything starting from alcohol. How hot and sweet is the blood flowing under that skin? Is the blood flowing inside the monster’s body human, monster’s, or dragon’s?
Feeling such curiosity, Jennyella stuck out her tongue and licked her lips.
“… … hmm.”
Seongmin Lee also felt that Jennyella’s appearance was unusual.
Although I came to Travia in a hurry, I never thought that I would meet Jennyella like this.
[If you fight, you die.]
Heoju warned. No matter how strong Lee Sung-min has become, he is nothing compared to the vampire queen who has lived for hundreds of years.
Even if he possesses a power that is unrivaled among humans, he has not even reached the peak within humans, so how can he challenge the Queen, the peak of vampires?
“… … excuse.”
Just as Seongmin Lee was nervous and was about to hold the spear, Jennyella took a deep breath and spoke. She took a few steps back and bowed her head.
“You ended up showing your ugly side. ha… … It’s been a very long time since I felt this way. “An intense appetite and thirst.”
Jennyella covered her mouth with her hand and laughed.
“It’s been so long that it’s unfamiliar and scary, but it’s also fun. But don’t worry. I don’t want to force you. Actually, it wouldn’t be difficult if I wanted to do it, but I still wouldn’t do it. “That is so barbaric.”
Jennyella made a laughing sound.
“Besides, this place isn’t that nice. see… … This dirty alley of trash. Even in this dirty and disgusting city, this place is especially dirty and disgusting. I don’t want to go to a place like this and eat exquisite food, which must be the best I’ve ever had. ah. Don’t worry too much though. Even if you leave here, I won’t prey on you.”
“… … what do you mean?”
“I want to enjoy everything about you. On the bed where I sleep, with my favorite blanket, when I am most excited and hungry… … ah. “For a vampire, appetite and sexual desire are almost the same concept.”
Jennyella laughed, answering something she didn’t even ask.
The beautiful smile she wore was a smile of fatal charm that kept all those she preyed on loyal.
But that fascination failed to shake Lee Seong-min’s consciousness this time.
“On that bed… … When I want it most and can enjoy it. It is my personal wish to eat you. Ahhh… … My expression may have sounded too harsh. I don’t mean to completely prey on you. I want to drink all your blood and chew and swallow every bit of your flesh. “The brain that thinks, the heart that circulates blood, the lungs, liver, pancreas, bones, blood vessels, muscles, flesh, and genitals that breathe.”
Jennyella’s lips became faster. Her bright red eyes glowed even brighter, her breathing was rapid and her shoulders were shaking slightly.
It was only after Jennyella poured out the names of all the internal organs that make up a human being that she smiled refreshingly.
“I want to chew all that and swallow it and drink it. Rather than that, rather than that base and primal desire. “My reason for wanting to have you as a servant is stronger and more solid, so please know that.”
“… … “I don’t want to become a vampire.”
“Do not worry. Because I won’t force you. You said it back then, right? I am… … Hehehe! We do not unconditionally increase the number of people in our household. Very persistent… … Passionate, desperate, yet not giving up. You’re still not good enough. That’s why I wait.”
Jennyella licked her lips as she said that.
It was Jennyella’s own aesthetic that she had maintained for a long time. If Lee Sung-min was someone who could satisfy her needs, she would have done her best to seduce him.
‘Not yet.’
Not enough despair. Jennyella suppressed her regret and clicked her tongue.
“What’s going on here? “If you had come riding a fairy horse, it would have been quite urgent.”
“… … “There is nothing to see in Travia.”
“ah… … then.”
Jennyella smiled.
“Are you Kim Jonghyun?”
At those words, Lee Seong-min’s expression froze. He asked a question to Jennyella, who was smiling brightly.
“Do you know him?”
“I know. You’re a pretty interesting person, right? Ah, when I say human here I am simply referring to his species. “I don’t think of him as human.”
Jennyella hummed.
Kim Jong-hyun was a very interesting subject for Jennyella. He took everything from Arbes, the arch lich, and even became the owner of the grimoire that Arbes cherished.
“I don’t think I came here for Kim Jong-hyun. Are you here to subdue him too?”
“… … “For now, yes.”
“Hmm… … .”
Jennyella tapped her lower lip in response to Lee Seong-min’s answer. After a moment of silence, Jenny Ella shook her head.
“I’m saying this for you. “If you’re thinking of subjugating Kim Jong-hyun, you’d better stop.”
“Why?”
“The ritual he is preparing for is very dangerous. I admit that you are quite strong, but if you interfere with Kim Jong-hyun’s consciousness… … Hehehe!”
Jennyella shook her shoulders and laughed.
“Are you going to die too?”
[for a moment.]
Heoju unleashed his magic power. He stood up from behind Seongmin Lee and looked down at Jennyella.
“Heoju.”
Jennyella looked up at Heoju and called his name.
“Are you still attached? I thought he would soon become disillusioned with his ridiculous situation and choose to disappear. “I guess that great pride has become insignificant after losing its body and hundreds of years have passed?”
[You are talking nonsense.]
“I’m saying this out of sympathy for you. Still, I once had a lot of respect for you. “Not now.”
Jennyella chuckled.
[Why are you not doing anything?]
Heo Joo asked a question, ignoring Jennyella’s sarcastic remarks.
[That black magician named Kim Jong-hyun. It seems like some kind of ritual is taking place in your territory, why are you leaving him alone?]

“Is there any need to interrupt? It’s more fun to watch if you don’t disturb it. And Kim Jong-hyun diligently asked for my permission in advance.”
Jennyella smiled and answered.
“So I decided to ignore it. I have no intention of helping him or hindering him. “I just watch.”
“What on earth is he trying to do?”
“I guess you’re very curious?”
Jennyella smiled seductively. She looked at Lee Seong-min, rolling her eyes that seemed to be dripping with her blood. Jenny Ella, tapping her plump lips with her fingertips, grinned.
“But there’s no reason for me to tell you. “What can you give me in exchange for me telling you what you’re curious about?”
“what do you want?”
“I don’t want anything from you.”
At least for now.
Jennyella suppressed the greed that slowly rose in her heart.
Even if I told him to become a servant under these conditions, I didn’t think he would listen, and I didn’t want to ask him for blood.
Jennyella still didn’t want to drink Lee Seong-min’s blood.
“still… … Because I quite like you. “If I were to give you a hint rather than an answer.”
Jennyella said with a smile.
“Kim Jong-hyun is trying to become something other than human.”
That was all the hint Jennyella could give. After burying her quelled desire deep within reason, she turned around.
Jennyella disappeared, melting into the black shadow just as she had when she appeared.
“… … “You want to be something other than human?”
Seongmin Lee muttered what Jennyella left behind. Does that mean you are trying to become an outsider? If you are a warlock, there is a very easy way to become an outsider.
Become a lich. But looking at what Kim Jong-hyun did, it didn’t seem like he was trying to become Rich.
Something other than human… … Lee Seong-min turned around while muttering those suspicious words.
[I’m not feeling well.]
Heoju muttered.
[Jenniella said the same thing. From what she said, the black magician named Kim Jong-hyun… … I don’t think it’s just about being an outsider. Didn’t he say he was something other than human?]
“It did.”
[Jenniela said that Kim Jong-hyun was preparing for some kind of ritual. Perhaps his annihilation of seven villages was preparation for the ritual. “Do you remember what happened to the corpses in the village?”
“They said the corpses were all tied together and piled up. “With all my heart ripped out.”
[Where did the pulled heart go?]
Lee Seong-min’s face turned cold at Heo-joo’s twitching.
[I don’t know what type of ritual it is, but it is a ritual that requires the hearts of thousands of people. No matter how strong you are, it would be better to be careful.]
“Then that’s good. I thought I might have come for no reason… … “Now that it has been confirmed that Kim Jong-hyun is a dangerous person, I can go without any regrets.”
Since so many reinforcements had been gathered, there was no need to come. Those concerns have completely disappeared.
Kim Jong-hyun is dangerous. Although he couldn’t tell at the moment what kind of ritual the bastard was preparing.
If annihilating seven villages was the preparation for the ritual… … The fact that they did not run away and waited for the increased number of punitive forces was obviously a ritual.
‘You must not let him die.’
Lee Seong-min groped a face that was not his. The owner of this face is not a mercenary. I am a simple adventurer and have no means of proving my identity. That’s all.
Seongmin Lee left the alley. It is not that far from Trabia to Hedor, where the punitive force is gathered.
Getting there isn’t a big problem, but the problem starts when you get to Hedor.
‘If possible, you shouldn’t get caught.’
If it turns out that Lee Sung-min is a ghost, Scarlett’s position will be in trouble, and Mo Yong-sega, who is nearby, will throw a fit. You will also be attacked by the Murim Alliance.
It didn’t seem like it would be that difficult to lose weight, but I didn’t want to make it a hassle.
“It looks like you’re acting out of character.”
Seongmin Lee left the gates of Trabia while grumbling.
* * *
As many as 5,000 hearts were picked out while visiting seven villages.
Kim Jonghyun walked in the dark, dragging his black robe. The place where he was was a forest of trees as dry as thorns, and a large pit dug in the middle of it was filled with five thousand unbroken hearts.
“hmm.”
Kim Jonghyun hovered around the pit and glanced at the grimoire floating next to his head.
Grimoire. The worst grimoire the wizard guild had. The reason Kim Jong-hyun took everything from Arbes was not only because of his terrible knowledge and great black magic, but also because he coveted that grimoire.
Kim Jong-hyun has done a lot in the past year.
After returning from Eormuri, he returned to the Black Magic Tower as if nothing had happened, and in order to avoid the guild’s suspicions, he continued to post reports on his research and mastered the black magic of Arbes.
He then visited Arbes’s secret dungeon and took everything Arbes owned as his own.
It took me over half a year to interpret the grimoire I obtained.
Thanks to Arbes’s knowledge and Kim Jong-hyun’s knowledge that was different from Arbes’s, he was able to interpret some of the grimoire’s magic.
‘The theory is okay… … hmm. ‘I don’t know if it will work out.’
Kim Jonghyun stroked his chin as he checked the magic circle he had drawn. He wanted to go through a few experiments, but unfortunately, experiments were not possible with this magic ritual.
“It’s too late to quit now.”
Kim Jonghyun muttered in a sad voice.
Anyway, over 5,000 people were killed for this ritual.
