## Chapter 1092 – Ancient Vampire

I can’t afford to give him the momentum.

—Kwaang!

As I clashed with Coltrahen, thinking that…

“Kuh…!”

I could feel it.

His swordsmanship had become slightly more refined.

This bastard… he’s getting stronger every moment. No, to be precise, it seems more accurate to say that he’s recalling his power.

The blood demon Coltrahen, consumed by madness, had gone completely insane due to the long seal and life of seclusion. And now he’s regaining his reason, recalling the combat skills he hadn’t used for a long time.

Which means the longer we drag this out, the more disadvantageous it becomes for us.

“You have a tongue that’s nothing but low-class.”
“…!”

—Kwaang!

Stepping on vines.
Sprinting.
Launching my body forward to chase him.

In that state, we exchange blows, fighting to sever each other’s bodies. I tried to destroy him with my fist techniques in between, but with his swordsmanship now refined, I couldn’t gain much advantage. It’s not like before.

He even seemed to have余裕.

At some point.

“Good.”

He completely gave up on attacking, spread his arms wide, and provoked me with a bitter smile.

“This bastard!!!”

—Chwaak!

As I swung my sword down fiercely, he split in half, spewing out a large amount of blood. A worthless bastard daring to provoke me like this…!

And at that moment.

“I’ll kill you, stuff you, and make a necklace out of your tongue,”

he said, completely regenerating his body.

“Go stuff your own mom!”
“…”

As I shouted that, his face hardened. And as he tried to assume a stance as if to fight again, I immediately blew his head off.

—Puhwaaaak!

Blood gushed out again, and soon his head regenerated.
His face was stiff, contrary to his previous provocation.

This bastard isn’t used to being insulted.

And above all, he’s enduring this pain right now. He gave up his body and provoked me to show off, but I know he’s not infinite.

He only seems infinite.

It’s just that I get that feeling because I can’t see his health bar. Coltrahen was consuming a large amount of blood in real time.

“Snap out of it!”

I continued to slash Coltrahen, who was still frozen, cutting him into hundreds of pieces and crushing him. Nevertheless, he just stood there, stepping on the vine floor as if he was still going to put on a show.

“…It doesn’t work, lowly human. This Coltrahen does not die. Your efforts will not be rewarded. You will die here and become my nourishment.”

A deep.

And subdued voice.

“You’re just spitting out the same last words as your mom. How can a mother and son both say the same thing?”

At that moment.

—Kwaang!

“You son of a biiiiiitch!!!”

He unleashed the Heartseeker Sword with a burst of anger.

—Kung!

“Oof!”

The strike was so powerful that my body was thrown back as soon as I blocked it. While being thrown back, I braked sharply.

—Sswaaaaaek!!

“You filial son! Does it feel bad to hear your mom insulted!”

I push my body forward and take the offensive!

“Shut up!!!”

—Kung!

Coltrahen swung the Heartseeker Sword and responded to me. Sword wrapped around sword, parrying, pushing, aiming for each other’s flesh. He’s getting stronger…! But the fact that I can judge this means he’s still below me!

“Kuaaaaaa!”

—Chwaak!

I kept cutting down Coltrahen.

The difference in swordsmanship is still absolute.

“Hahaha! Is that your true ability? It’s a little more refined, but that’s all! Coltrahen, the vampire who has lived for hundreds of years! Your swordsmanship is truly below standard! Is that the swordsmanship of someone with hundreds of years of experience!”

As I shouted that and attacked, Coltrahen mumbled something like an excuse.

“Obsessing over swords is undignified… I, Vampire Lord Coltrahen, use blood magic…!”
“Bullshit! You have all sorts of excuses for not being able to use a sword, you excuse-making bastard!”
“…!”

A distorted face.
He was weak to insults.

Especially since he was being unilaterally pushed back by me, he must be even more annoyed.

“If you weren’t a vampire, you would have died thousands of times over to me! You pathetic bastard!”
“Ha! This Coltrahen is a vampire, so from the beginning, the assumption is meaningless!”
“This bastard… judging by the way he’s making excuses because he’s a vampire, he knows he’s embarrassed, right?”
“…”

He’s managing to block my fist techniques to some extent, but he hasn’t landed a single effective hit on me.

And.

—Chwaak!!

Once again, I stabbed his face with my sword and severed his arms.

“Look, you little shit. You’re so embarrassed that you’re pretending to be cool and saying it’s meaningless. Accept reality, vampire. You have no talent for swordsmanship.”
“To, to the ruler… swordsmanship is just a refinement…”

He completed his excuse while regenerating.

“Hahahaha! That’s what you want to say, you worthless piece of shit!!!”

—Puhwak!

I split him in two again. At the same time, I look down. Quite a bit of time has passed… but have they still not managed to create a gap in the barrier?

At that moment.

—Hwaak!

His blood rushed backward.

“Kuaaaaaaaa!”

He regenerated rapidly from there.

—Jiiiiiiing!
—Jiiiiiiiiing!
—Jiing!
—Jiiiiing!

Suddenly, he started flying around like a fighter jet, firing blood projectiles indiscriminately.

“This is bad.”

It’s a bit tricky to deal with him when he comes out like that. Taking advantage of the maneuverability unique to flying, if he launches such powerful and fast attacks, the only thing I can do as a ground-based fighter is to stick to him with my maximum skill.

But doing this consumes too much of my stamina and mana… But why doesn’t he mainly use such tactics?

“Right.”

In short, he must also think that the act of flying around and shooting blood projectiles is not cost-effective. So he’s thinking of fighting me in close combat instead of doing that. If I had to guess, shooting those blood projectiles probably takes more blood than regenerating his body.

“Kuaaaaaaaa!!!”

Coltrahen roared in anger and fired blood projectiles, and the target wasn’t just me. The blood projectiles continue to be fired downwards as well.

—Kwaang!

As I threw myself to block it.

—Hwaak!

The guy who injured himself and sprayed blood behind me impaled his head on my sword and committed suicide.

“You bastard!”

Coltrahen, who had turned into a waterfall of blood and melted away, regenerated behind me. That is, he regenerated from the place where he had just thrown his blood and started firing blood projectiles again.

Such a tactic!

“Isn’t that just being a fly, Coltrahen! Did your mom teach you such a dirty way of fighting!”
“Shut up!!!! You lowly human!!!”
“You shut up!!! You worthless bastard!!! You’re just doing that because you can’t do anything else!!! Hey! Come here! Come here and cross swords!!!”
“Nonsense!!!”

A bastard who only uses cheap tricks despite having infinite power!

Right now, he’s freely controlling the distance and firing blood projectiles. It’s starting to become difficult to rush at him, and his evasive maneuvers are also evolving more and more.

As time passes, he’s regaining his original combat power.

I was talking excitedly, but at this rate, it’s his space… If I can’t finish him off, it’s clear that my resources will run out faster.

His blood… I have to manage his blood.

Judging by the fact that he can regenerate from the blood he sprayed, I have to attack him in a way that doesn’t splatter blood. I have to beat him in a place where blood won’t splatter.

—Chwaak!

But he’s now creating regen points as he pleases by spraying his own blood. If I kill him here, he regenerates there, and if I kill him there, he regenerates here, flying around and spraying blood projectiles.

“You’re using a good sword!! But your swordsmanship is that of a child!! And you can’t do anything but shoot blood projectiles from afar!!”

I chased him, pondering how to resolve this situation.

“It’s not even worth answering!!!”
“Why aren’t you answering when you didn’t even listen to your mom and killed her!!!”
“I’ll kill you!! Kuaaaaaa!!”

Suddenly, he plunged his hand into his own neck.

—Kwaaaaaang!

“Oh, motherfucker!!”

Blood projectiles flew from behind!

—Hwiik!

I twisted my body sharply and barely avoided it. It turned out that only his arms and head had regenerated from the blood on the vines. In that ugly state, he caught me off guard and fired blood projectiles.

“You son of a bitch!”

His application is getting stronger and stronger!

—Kwaang!

The moment I kicked off the ground to split it, he sliced off his own head again, and blood projectiles flew from behind me.

—Twukwaaaang!

Of course, I expected it, so I avoided it without any problems, but this time!!

—Jiiiiiiing!
—Jiiiiiiiiing!

“You bitch!!”

Suddenly, blood projectiles flew from `two directions`, and I failed to avoid one while trying to avoid the other, allowing the attack to hit me.

“Teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeng!!!”

I felt excruciating pain in my shoulder that was hit, and I felt like my bones were about to break…! This bastard! He kept attacking with only one, then suddenly switched to two for this!

“Die, human!!!”

And.

—Jiiiiing!
—Jiiiiiiiiing!
—Jiing!
—Jiiiiiiing!

Blood projectiles fly from a total of four directions.

—Paat!

I immediately rotated my body, scattering my blade to cut off two blood projectiles, then smashed one with my left-hand Asura Blood Destruction Fist, and then, the moment I tried to avoid the last one.

—Jiiiiing!
—Jiiiiiiiiing!

An even larger amount of blood projectiles were fired at me.

“Shit.”

—Kwaaaaaaaang!!

I was hit in the left shoulder and shin at the same time, and I screamed miserably like Guan Yu, who boasted that he would get surgery while playing Go, as I was sent flying.

“Teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeng!!!!!”

That really hurts… Shit!

“Khahahahaha!! You’re like a bug, human! Did you learn to fall like a bug from your mother? Your mother must have been a beetle, not a human!”
“What, what did you say, you bastard!!!”
“I said your mother was a beetle!!”
“Ugh, ughaaaaaak!!! Ughaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!”
“Khahahahaha!!”

I can’t take it anymore!!!!

“I have to do something!!!”

That bastard is showing off like crazy just because he succeeded in one attack!! And he’s hitting me with a 패드립!!! This is something that should never happen, something that should never be done!!!!

“It’s blasphemydechi!!!”

I’m even a demigod…! Insulting me is a serious crime of blasphemy! Vampires are cursed beings after all!

—Twukwaaaang!!

His blood projectiles explode vertically on me as I fall.

—Hwareureureuk!

I ignite my sword with flame and swing Vügal to cut off the blood projectiles, maneuvering my body to regain my balance in the air. At the same time, Coltrahen spread his bat wings and charged vertically towards me.

The moment I stabbed his palm with my sword as he reached out to me.

—Puhwaaaak!

From the blood that splattered to both sides, his left and right arms were created, preparing to fire blood projectiles from close range.

“Die, human!”

Shit, in this falling state…!

“Haaaaaap!!!”

What I heard then was Karin’s battle cry.
Right, we were playing as a team.

—Kwaaaaaaaang!!

Coltrahen’s body, which was trying to attack me with that, disappeared without a trace, and a blood mist scattered.

“Are you okay!”
“Yeah! It fucking hurts, but it’s not like I can’t fight!”
“Then that’s good!!!”

—Paat!

Karin, who was hugging me as I was being shot down, flew away with the same momentum and placed me on that vine pillar over there.

“But the situation isn’t very good. Our strength is slowly being consumed… And I don’t know what that bastard did, but it’s not working out very well to create a gap in the barrier.”

Karin’s expression was sharp.

“This is bad.”
“It seems dangerous if we don’t inflict a critical hit on him somehow…”

—Kwaaaaaaaang!!

At that moment, blood projectiles exploded.

“You bastard!”

Karin swung her sword to block it.
However, the concentrated fire did not end there.

—Peobeobeobeong!

Amidst the endless barrage of blood projectiles, Karin and I slashed them down together. The remaining blood projectiles are falling towards Risha. If we don’t shake him up, the bombardment will fall indefinitely.

“We have to do something…! I’ll go up again, sis!”
“Okay!”

I immediately climbed the vines and ascended again.

Roughly.

I was starting to get a rough idea of what to do.

In order to kill him, we need to clean up all of his blood and flesh and make him fall. We need to control his regeneration location from down there and beat him infinitely.

“I’ll drop you again! Human!!!!”

When I came back up to the altitude where Coltrahen was flying around again.

“Right.”

I realized.

“There’s no other way.”

I check the remaining amount of mana. Is it a little tight? Right. The power of mana was tight. But what was boiling inside me right now was none other than the divine power of Fusion Confucianism.

How to handle this perfectly.
I don’t know well.

But now is the time to use this.

“You’re the one falling, vampire.”

The answer is only Heavenly Demon Descent.
