## Chapter 1094 – Ancient Vampire

ㅡThwack! Thwack! Thwack!

After a long while of throwing every ounce of my being into a beatdown…

ㅡGurgle!

The pitch-black mass of blood, which had been regenerating haphazardly, bubbled and boiled before completely drying up and shriveling away, disappearing without a trace.

“I won, you fucker!!!”

I finally killed Koltrahen!

What a tenacious bastard!

He even regenerated after taking two hits of my True Heavenly Demon Descent…! No lie, his durability was top-notch. He probably threw away pens and books during his first birthday celebration and grabbed a shield or something.

But to give a proper assessment, that Blood Demon bastard only had infinite power; his ability to wield it wasn’t that great.

He was overwhelmed by me, after all.

This must have been a side effect of the seal. If he had maintained his prime strength, this battle would have been incredibly difficult.

Not only that, but if I had given him more time, he would have eventually become stronger. He was just waking up from his madness.

But I was confident that I could use the True Heavenly Demon Descent. That’s why this was a battle I was destined to win.

I never lose.

“You were a decent opponent, Blood Demon.”

Quite satisfying.

“Hooray! Kat-nim!”
“Yeah!”

Hilde shouted loudly and ran towards me. Her voice was clear, but Hilde also seemed quite exhausted, lacking strength in her body.

“Good job, everyone!!!”

I immediately hugged Hilde and shouted.

“Haa… This time was a little dangerous.”

Only then did they seem to relax, as they began to sit down one by one. Overall, everyone looked exhausted. Aria and Lisztina, and everyone except Risha, were practically sprawled out on the floor.

Understandable.

“More importantly… what was that just now? I was watching until halfway through, and then I thought something terrible was going to happen…”
“Ah, right. I missed it too, sis. What was that?”
“Ah.”

They immediately expressed their questions about the Heavenly Demon Descent.

It happened so quickly that it was natural they couldn’t see it properly.

“Yes… it happened so fast. I didn’t see it properly either, Father.”
“Well, it’s nothing much.”

I also sat down and said,

“I just used that technique I used when I fought Hilde a long time ago. I told you about it once, right?”
“Ah!!! That was it, that!!!”

Then Hilde jumped up.

“At that time, I felt like something was pressing down on me… I was completely overwhelmed! You used that again!!”
“That’s right.”

I did something terrible to Hilde back then.

The sensation I had used back then was still in my body, and I recalled it, combining it with my inner demigodly power to use the even more powerful True Heavenly Demon Descent.

“Ah, right… you did say something like that back then.”

Karin said, lifting her upper body.

“I didn’t know what you were talking about back then… Hmm. Was that it? No, more importantly, Hilde? Why haven’t you been talking about that technique all this time?”
“But thinking about that time makes me very uncomfortable, it’s a past I want to forget, you know? So I just buried it!”

That’s true.

Anyway, I explained the True Heavenly Demon Descent to them appropriately.

It’s about using my power to pull down everything around me.

And I told them everything, including how I decided to completely bring down Koltrahen with it, limiting his regeneration points on the ground and killing him.

“The mana released to the surroundings… you controlled it according to your will?”

Karin, after hearing the story, stroked her chin and said that… Controlling the released mana according to my will? I don’t know, but as expected of Karin, she seemed to be able to analyze it right away.

“You controlled the released mana according to my will?”
“That’s what it sounds like… No. Why are you asking after using it?”
“No, I did it by instinct, so I don’t know the theory well.”

So… I released mana to the outside, creating a kind of field made of my mana around me… and used the True Heavenly Demon Descent? That means I used the mana released to the outside according to my will.

It makes sense.

“I think that’s almost a magical operation… don’t you think?”

Lisztina asked Winia.

“I don’t know either… But just listening to it, it feels similar… In the first place, the way mages accumulate mana is different from the way warriors accumulate it, so is that possible? The way they release it to the outside is also different.”
“W-Well, I don’t know either… Anyway, he really creates strange new techniques well. He must be creating them all with mana manipulation. Haa.”

Lisztina also sat down in her spot.

“Kat… Anyway, you did really well. I knew Kat would eventually bring him down.”

Cloudy said in a lying position.

“Hehehe, yeah. It’s only natural.”

Anyway, it was a really tough day.

“Well, let’s put the theoretical stuff aside and analyze it at home. Can you use it again?”
“Again?”

I immediately recalled the mysteries of the Heavenly Demon Descent in my head.

ㅡI can do it.

I can grasp it.

I felt very accurately that I could do it.

“It’s possible. This is mine now.”
“Then now…”
“I can’t do it now because I’m half discharged.”

I’m so tired.

“I’ll go home and recover and try again.”
“Yeah, do that.”
“Blackie… let’s rest when we get back…”
“Let’s do that.”

I need to rest well when I get back.

“But what about Risha?”

I immediately looked towards Risha.

ㅡCrackle!

Risha was currently summoning a black hand and scratching at the gap in the barrier. She was so focused that she was only looking at that.

“Risha! How is it!”

I immediately went to Risha.

“Hmm? Ah… you finished him off!”

Risha, who turned to look at me, exclaimed.

“I just finished it. How is it?”
“Look.”

The gap had widened considerably.
The darkened outside was visible beyond the gap.

“Until just now, the speed of creating the gap was too slow… but just now, it regained its speed.”

From the moment Koltrahen was annihilated?

“Perhaps that vampire was increasing the defense of the barrier. In that situation, it was honestly too difficult. But like this… just wait a little longer. We’ll be able to get out soon.”

Certainly, this was inside his barrier. He was distributing a kind of energy while fighting me to strengthen the gap in the barrier.

He was even doing that.

“Bastard.”

He used his near-infinite blood so meticulously, but in the end, he had no choice but to be sliced up in front of our teamwork. In other words, it was a victory of the hammer and anvil tactic. A really strong hammer and anvil beat the vampire to a pulp.

“But… that thing you did just now.”
“I’ll explain it later. I used what I used when I fought Hilde a long time ago again.”
“Then I can hear it when we get out.”
“Let’s do that.”

Let’s get out of here and rest for a while.

“Hmm?”

But… is it possible for the barrier to still be maintained even though Koltrahen has disappeared?

ㅡCrackling!

The gap Risha made was getting wider and wider.

ㅡCrackling.

That was the moment my question that had suddenly popped up was erased.

ㅡCrash!

Suddenly, there was a sound like something breaking.

“Ugh!”

ㅡRumble!!

The space shook… Blood Demon, that bastard, could it be!

“Shit!”

I saw what he had died from and tried to fire an attack. But there was nothing there. Could this bastard have been resurrected!

“He’s so persistent, really!”
“It’s almost infinite power!”

The girls, who noticed the change, jumped up from their seats and took a fighting stance again. This fucking… I have almost no strength right now… this might be dangerous.

I quickly checked the remaining amount of power and took in everything around me.

“Risha!”
“J-Just a little more…!”

Risha continued to widen the gap.

ㅡRumble!!!

Right then.

ㅡSwish.

The pure white wall began to melt down into blood. A large amount of blood poured down like rain from that high place, and the floor we were standing on also melted away stickily and turned into blood. With that, the pure white background turned completely red.

The outside was revealed.

“Damn it, Blackie! We’re screwed!!!”
“We’re not screwed, so calm down, Winia!”

When all the walls disappeared, all that remained was a blood-red background.
And a sea of blood that reached up to our ankles.

A bright red ground… and a sky even redder than that.

In that place.

ㅡGroan…! Groooooan!!

A bizarre sound echoed.

ㅡMy castle…! My territory…! My country!!! I must go there!!! I must go there!!!

It was Koltrahen’s voice. A voice filled with madness that was heard from nowhere echoed from all directions.

ㅡMy people!!! And my blood relatives!!! My vassals!!! I am here!! I am here!!! So come here…! To my country!!!

He spread feelings of lament.

ㅡKuh… Kua! Kuaaaack!!! Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!

And when that lament stopped, a screaming noise that caused noise pollution burst out.

ㅡRumble!!

An earthquake occurred again.

“Kuh…! I failed! And a large amount of magical power is reacting!!! I think we should escape for now!”
“Escape!”

Risha shouted, and we immediately distributed and grabbed the mages and started preparing to escape. I don’t know what it is, but Koltrahen’s momentum is unusual…! As expected, there’s no way the barrier would be maintained if that bastard died! He was alive!

At that moment.

ㅡCrash!

A sound of something breaking was heard.

ㅡRumble rumble rumble rumble!
ㅡRumble rumble rumble!!

From beyond the horizon.

ㅡRumble rumble rumble rumble!
ㅡRumble rumble rumble!!
ㅡRumble rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble!!

Towers.

An uncountable number of towers began to rise haphazardly and chaotically. Some were dizzying spires, and others were clock towers. There were also things like castle turrets… and towers that looked like churches also rose up.

Such near-infinite towers.

They rose up and came towards us.

“Kyaaaaack!! Kat-nim, what do we do!”
“First of all, damn it…! Jump! Time it right and jump onto the roof!”

ㅡRumble rumble rumble rumble!!

It could truly be called a tsunami of rising towers. The towers that were approaching without hesitation rose to the end of the sky and collapsed in the middle, but new towers filled their places and continued to advance endlessly.

ㅡThwack!

And, finally, when a tower rose from the ground in front of us.

“Jump!”

ㅡWham!

At the signal, we jumped diagonally and landed on the roof of the tower.

ㅡFwoooooosh!!

A tower rose from the place we had been standing just a moment ago.

“W-What is this!!”
“What a crazy fucking barrier!”

The infinitely proliferating towers stopped at some point, and what unfolded before us was `land made of tower roofs`.

A world where all the ground had been replaced with the roofs of towers had descended.

“Kat…! At times like this!”
“It’s okay! Just concentrate for now! We don’t know when the terrain will change again!”

The infinitely rising towers have now stopped.

“Father…! I’ll support us with vines for now!”
“Wait a minute. If the terrain changes again, it’ll just be a waste of energy, so wait for now.”
“Ah, yes.”

I calmly make a decision.

Koltrahen wasn’t dead. He may have melted into the barrier itself, which was made of his blood. That’s why he’s pulling these tricks.

That crazy cry from just now… did he lose his mind at the moment of death?

Right then.

ㅡKiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!

A tearing scream was heard from over there.

ㅡKiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!

Against the backdrop of the blood-red moon.

“That… that seems to be Koltrahen!”

To be exact, a grotesque creature close to what Koltrahen used to be was flying around with huge, blood-red membrane wings that stretched for several meters.

That appearance was no longer anything like a person.

If there was anything similar to a person in the monstrous head, it was just that it had hair. The body was severely hunched over like a hunchback, and the arms were elongated to the point where they reached below the feet.

That is the true Blood Demon, the appearance of the Vampire Lord…!

That blood-red grotesque creature.

ㅡZzzeeeooong!!

It flew around wildly and shot Blood Demon Death Beams.

ㅡKukwakakakang!!

Every time it hit the roof, all the nearby towers were destroyed, and a blood-red waterfall soared. This place was a graveyard of towers submerged in a sea of blood.

“Kukyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!”

And it didn’t take long for it to target us.

“Let’s run, damn it!!!”

We ran across the roof.

While dodging the Blood Demon Death Beams.
