Chapter 41 – 41. Let’s Burn the Monster to Death

Haha!!!!”

The wound on the vampire’s shoulder healed in real time. Drinking fresh blood heals wounds quickly.

Soon, the vampire threw away Kang Jun-hyuk, whose stomach was torn open and his internal organs spilling out. I drank enough blood. Now is the time to mock dying humans.

“Kuhuhuk…Kuhuhuk…Kwaaah..”

Kang Jun-hyuk, who was dying, thought as he looked at the vampire covered in his own blood and laughing.

It would be a big deal if something like that got out of the labyrinth. Even if I die here, I must not allow such an insane monster to run wild.

It was a kind of sense of mission. A sense of duty that held him in this world on the verge of death. That made his mouth move again.

“Ba.. Foot.. Ignition…”

His blood reacted to the low voice that flowed from the mouth of the dying firefighter.

[Bloodstain ignition (A)]

[Effect: The moment you say ‘ignite’, you can make your blood traces that you can see with your eyes ignite. It doesn’t turn off easily.]

[Handicap: Blood older than 3 hours cannot be used.]

[Penalty: You will bleed as much as the amount of blood consumed when using the ability. Lost blood does not fall within the scope of application of the ability.]

– Grumbling.

“Uh? Uh? Hey, what is this? What’s this!!! Wow!!! Hot!! It’s hot!!!!”

The vampire’s head and upper body were on fire.

Even his hands began to burn.

One of the few weaknesses that can neutralize a vampire.

It’s a flame.

It was burning all over his body his his his now.

The monster that underestimated the opponent’s abilities and looked down on them for being human flares up. The man’s screams of pain spread throughout the gutter.

Kang Jun-hyuk smiled as he died. The fact that he could associate with that damn monster and that he hadn’t killed anyone yet made him laugh.

This is probably because too much narcotic is secreted in the brain due to extreme pain.

-Tadadang!!

At that time, a gunshot rang out, and both legs of the vampire, who was on fire before he could do anything, exploded.

Only then did Kang In-ho and Choi Chi-su, who had been hiding and watching the situation, emerge from the darkness. They watched the firefighter and the vampire fighting from afar and quickly approached, looking for an opportunity.

“Thank you for your hard work. “I will let you go without any pain.”

Kang In-ho looked pitifully at Kang Jun-hyuk, who was dying with his stomach wide open, and pointed his gun at him.

Then, with blurred vision, Kang Jun-hyuk grabbed the muzzle of the gun and held it to his forehead, gaping at his mouth.

There was deep regret and frustration about the past in his eyes. Kang In-ho noticed through trace observation that he wanted to say something and waited for his last words.

“Keoheuk.. Go.. Family.. Yo.. Keuheook.. And, to Gwangju.. Go, family…”

“Maybe everyone will survive. I’ll go when I have time. “What’s your name?”

“Go.. Kang Joon-hyuk.. Thank you.. Kuheook…”

Kang In-ho gave rest to Kang Jun-hyuk, who was dying and struggling in pain.

Bang!

The back of Kang Jun-hyuk’s head exploded. His father, who entered the labyrinth to gain strength to protect his family, ended his life like that. Kang In-ho thought that the dead Kang Jun-hyuk could have been himself. He became solemn, albeit a little.

-Notice! One survivor has died! Four people left!

An inorganic alarm sound echoed throughout the gutter. Kang In-ho confirmed Kang Jun-hyuk’s abilities, thinking that she was indeed a malicious labyrinth.

[Ability robbery is activated.]

[New abilities are added. Would you like to receive it?]

It is an ability that there is no reason not to receive. Kang In-ho thought that he could use it himself, and that it would be good to give it to Han Jun-ho, who already has a flame-type skill.

“Receive a skill.”

[Penalties apply.]

30 strands of hair fell out. My hair was short, so I just brushed it off and that was it. Now, there is only such a small amount that I don’t pay much attention to it.

“Keuuuuu… !! Damn human bastards…”

Meanwhile, when the blood stain was absorbed by Kang In-ho due to the skill theft, the flame on the vampire was extinguished in an instant.

He suffered burns all over his body and is still shaking in pain, but he is not dead yet. Maybe if I suck the blood in that state, I will recover fine again.

Although flame is one of the weaknesses that can neutralize vampires, it can only inflict fatal injuries and cannot prevent their regeneration itself.

To really catch and kill a vampire, you have to stab it in the heart with a sharp weapon. Either that or keep burning it until it can’t be played at all.

Otherwise, he would just scream in pain and not die. Vampires were more persistent than I thought. Kang In-ho was horrified to think that people like that would crawl out through the red gate.

Of course, it was written in the survivor’s journal that the number was not that large, but even just a few of them are threatening.

Moreover, the person who wrote the survivor’s journal was a man with a skill called Awl Extraction, which is a particularly fatal skill for vampires, so he was able to catch and kill vampires from a distance. Otherwise, hunting vampires was very dangerous.

“You can’t even search for that… It’s like high-quality firewood. Hey, it’s Chisoo.”

“Yes…?”

“Come here quickly.”

“Uh..”

Kang In-ho called Choi Chi-su, who was frightened by the presence of the monster, and struck him twice on both temples.

“Wow…!!”

If he hit just one temple, he would feel dizzy and vomit, but if he hit both temples, the penalty would be doubled and Choi Chi-su would sit down without even being able to stand.

I was worried that Choi Chi-soo might do something tampering while fighting the monster, so I deliberately gave him a penalty. It was an appropriate action since all Choi Chi-soo had in mind was running away.

“Okay then, here’s the second round, you monster. “Let’s find out how far we have to go to lose.”

Kang In-ho’s hands were filled with electricity, and the weapon he was holding was naturally enchanted. Electric current began to flow through the pork cutlet hammer and machete.

-It’s a joke!!!!!

Kang In-ho hit the left arm of the vampire, who had finally escaped the burning pain, with a pork cutlet hammer.

-Quaaang!!!!

“Kwaaah!! Fuck!!!! Humans!!! I hate humans!!! Kwaaah!!!”

A crushing blow is activated.

The vampire’s left arm flew off.

Of course, he still wasn’t dead. His left arm exploded and he was electrocuted, but he was still alive. Perseverance.

Kang In-ho conducted an experiment on a vampire to see how far he could kill it.

-Boom!!

“Well!! Stop!!

-Quaang!!

“Just kill me!! Please!!!”

“Huh.. Even if I do this, I won’t die?”

“Kill me!! Stab my heart!!!”

“Huh…”

Even though his lower body was completely shattered and his internal organs were spilling out, he did not die.

After all, a vampire was a monster that could only be killed if its heart was pierced with a sharp object.

Even if you shoot him in the chest, he won’t die. As written in the survivor’s journal, he was not killed by an ‘ordinary bullet.’

It was most definitely stabbed directly into the heart with a long, pointed, sharp object. It would be easier to kill it with a harpoon than with a gun. If I had a bow and arrow, I could have tested whether that would kill me or not, but unfortunately, I didn’t have one here.

Kang In-ho was a little shocked by the terrible vitality of the vampire who did not die even if all his limbs were torn off. She was completely fed up.

“Persistent.. This is completely crazy..”

Even as Kang In-ho was dying, he was moved by the sight of Kang Jun-hyuk’s limbs regenerating by licking his blood off the floor.

‘That guy is more poisonous than a cockroach. Crazy evil spirit..’

Kang In-ho stabbed the machete into the man’s heart before he could recover.

-Fuuuk…

“Kyaaa..!!”

That was the end.

-Notice! One survivor has died! Three people left!

When the vampire died, an alarm rang throughout the gutter.

The vampire’s body crumbled and collapsed in an instant.

The body collapsed, and only the ashes and the clothes he was wearing remained in place.

[Congratulations! Your survival level has increased due to vampire hunting!]

[Survival level 5 → 6]

[You will receive a special reward because you are the first person on Earth to hunt a vampire!]

[Choose your reward!]

A notification appeared saying that the survival level had risen by one and that rewards were given for hunting vampires.

“To be the first person on Earth… Hehe…”

Kang In-ho smiled. He just came too late and snatched up someone who had half-captured him, but he even got a reward… He’s even the first person on Earth to do so. This was a great achievement.

“Let me see.. What is there..”

Kang In-ho decided to receive compensation later, so he turned off the bioelectricity and searched through the remains of the vampire. When he removed the ashes, he was able to find a leather pouch with several red beads and coins buried inside.

“As expected… There’s no way there’s nothing… Now that I think about it, that guy’s bracelet and ring… Look suspicious…”

Trace observation revealed this. I think there’s something there. Although the penalty was very bad, it was great to learn a lot of information. Kang In-ho thought that it would be great if only random thoughts and talking to oneself were reduced a little.

“In my pocket.. Wow.. What is this?”

[An old silver coin: This is a silver coin that was used a long time ago. It is used for transactions. It is worth 10 fairy tales.]

The pocket contained three silver coins and several copper coins. At first glance, it contained about 40 fairy tales. It was literally a huge amount of money made in one shot.

“Kiya… This is a vampire… It’s a total bonanza…”

Kang In-ho smiled broadly and also checked the red beads.

[Intermediate Bloodstone: Can be obtained when hunting vampires. When fed to a weapon, it can give the ‘Vampire Restoration’ effect. It has the efficiency and value of 100 ordinary lowest grade magic stones.]

[Vampire Restoration: Automatically recovers durability by absorbing the blood of the killed target. Maximum durability is cut in half. If its durability runs out before it has absorbed enough blood, the weapon will be destroyed.]

Intermediate bloodstone is an item that does not come out often. In fact, the vampire Kang In-ho killed was quite strong.

Of course, since most of the blood control techniques were sealed, it didn’t feel that strong, but if he had fought while still able to use blood control techniques, Kang In-ho might have been torn to pieces.

Since he came in as an extra person, it was a penalty he had no choice but to take. It arrived with its own balance patch. Of course, those who died at the hands of vampires would not think so at all.

At that time, Skill Robbery, who had finished analyzing the vampire, showed a notification window to Kang In-ho.

[Ability robbery is activated.]

[New abilities are added. Would you like to receive it?]

“Huh?”

Kang In-ho was dumbfounded by the notification that a vampire’s ability could be stolen.

“This is what happens..”

The vampire had a total of three abilities.

You have to choose one of them.

Kang In-ho was in deep trouble.
