Chapter 2432 – 2432. Dark Moon
I smiled, lifting the corners of my mouth above the puddle of blood.
I felt full of power. This was my space now.
“My neck hurts trying to look up. Come down first.”
Raise your hand and lower it down. The puddle of blood around me resonates with me and shakes. The power of magic has been amplified.
[Gravity]
Rahul, who was floating in the sky, began to fall at high speed. Rahul stopped just before he fell completely to the ground. The shining stones floated around him in a circle. It was similar to the Ash Stone that Eisa used.
[Blood Control]
Controls the blood.
It simply manipulates blood, but if that blood is the blood of a true vampire, the story is different. Because the blood itself contains powerful power.
Blood spurted out of the puddle and hit Rahul. The goal was to crush it as is, but… It didn’t work. The invisible shield spread around the stone stopped the bleeding.
“You’re being annoying. “It is impossible to pierce this earthly knowledge stone by simply manipulating the blood.”
The ring of stones floating around him began to rotate. A huge wind arises, and the blood around is flying.
This is not a phenomenon that occurs simply because the stones move quickly. I realized that a tremendous amount of mass was compressed into each and every stone.
A rock flies by. The wall was built with blood, but it was easily breached.
One of the Jinhyeol vampire’s powers, fogification, was used. It turned its body into fog and flew up into the sky. My body floated without falling. This was also the power of a Jinhyeol vampire.
Kwahahah Ahh!
A huge explosion sounded as stones fell on the place where I was. When I glanced down, a crater had formed as if a meteorite had fallen.
[Blood Spike]
Hundreds of blood thorns were aimed at Rahul. However, this time I was unable to pierce the defense shield it was wearing.
“… It’s too solid to be called a barrier output. Is it some kind of conceptual barrier?”
“You have the insight of a wizard, vampire. This barrier is like a huge rock. It’s harder and heavier than steel. A thousand stones. It is said that a falling drop of water can penetrate a rock, but it takes thousands or tens of thousands of years. “Your blood cannot penetrate this rock.”
“What are you talking about. “You are not a rock.”
Cough.
Rahul suddenly vomited blood. Although it is an alter ego, it is made of blood and flesh. Unless the alter ego is similar to the main body at the cellular level, precise manipulation of the alter ego would not be possible.
Rahul, who was embarrassed by the sudden vomiting of blood, soon realized and let out a moan.
“You ignored my barrier… Is it a curse?”
“There is no law that says you have to use only blood magic as a vampire. Even though it’s not as good as blood magic, black magic is compatible with vampires. “I realized it too late, and it seems like you don’t feel pain when you’re self-immolated.”
It is not that difficult to secretly take out the Dark Hole in your inventory from your pocket. It is more foolish to use black magic secretly. Fortunately, he didn’t notice.
[Pain Tula]
A level 5 black magic that casts a curse on the opponent that distorts their five organs and six parts.
There is only one condition for the curse. Making eye contact with the other person.
Usually, you realize it right away because you feel pain as soon as you are cursed. It is a curse that is not difficult to remove even if you are not a wizard if you concentrate your mind. Since the curse conditions are not strict, it is easy to lift.
I tried using the word alter ego, and it was the correct answer.
“It is an alter ego to be used as a weapon. Is there a need to feel pain?”
“Hmm. You are right. But because of that, your five internal organs are now distorted. Even if it were an alter ego, it wouldn’t last long, right? At most, it would be 3 minutes. “I will watch you die in the meantime.”
Even if you disarm Pain Tula, it is already too late. The golden time is gone. Because the five organs and six organs have already become distorted. If you were an ordinary human being, you would already be dead. The reason Rahul is still standing is because of his self-immolation.
“3 minutes is enough time to kill you.”
Rahul spreads his hands. The shining stones that were floating as if protecting him scatter in all directions and attack me from all directions.
The speed of the flying stones is too much to avoid. The power was too strong to block.
‘Fog.’
Transforms the body into fog with the power of Jinhyeol.
Attacks containing physical force can be ignored. However, the stone contained the magical concept of Jiyeongjiseok. Even though I made it foggy, I couldn’t completely ignore the rocks. The damage is slowly but surely accumulating within me.
Rahul also seems to know about him and doesn’t stop bombarding him with stones. The fallen stone rises again and attacks me again and again.
“The power to turn your body into fog is really annoying. But isn’t it all about holding on? I never thought I would have to endure a fight with someone like you. I admit it, I’m a true vampire. Furthermore, I will remember you. “Tell me your name before you die.”
“Do you think I don’t know your intentions? Both magically and shamanically, names are important. There is no name to give to you, who are just an alter ego and not the main body. And the fight to endure? “I have no intention of holding on and fighting even once.”
You can speak and use magic even while in fog.
And now Rahul is giving up his defense and going all in on the attack. Since his alter ego has been confirmed by Pain Tula, he will want to harm me somehow. I would have done the same.
‘But thanks to that, that annoying barrier disappeared, and a gap was revealed.’
I use level 6 blood magic that I have been preparing since I was in fog form.
[Blood Scream]
Thousands of small tidal waves began to crash into the confined space where the blood pool was spread out. A scene unfolded as if a storm had been compressed.
Rahul was swallowed by the blood scream, and Jiyoung Ji-seok, who was targeting me, lost his strength and fell to the ground.
‘It’s not over. She is still holding out at the center of the Blood Scream.’
Even though she is not in a normal state, she is supporting the blood scream with her bare body. We have no choice but to acknowledge that capability.
‘Even if I did, I wouldn’t be able to last long.’
It’s as expected. Rahul died before he could last 30 seconds. Even though it was a self-immolation, it was my victory.
After lifting the fog, I went down to the ground.
I wasn’t in a normal state either. Rahul’s Jiyoungsuk steadily inflicted damage on me as well. If it had been day instead of night, I would have lost.
‘As a vampire.’
The puddle of blood on the ground disappeared as if evaporating. Some of it came back to me as strength, but it wasn’t very satisfying.
I opened my inventory and took out a blood pack.
I opened the blood pack of the Mana Awakened person I had paid a lot of money for, put it in my mouth, and started drinking.
‘It’s not tasty.’
Even vampires have a preferred taste of blood. In my case, most blood tasted bad. Still, you can’t be a picky eater. For vampires, blood was both food and medicine.
‘I think I’ll buy it regardless of the taste. Recovery is a bit slow, perhaps because the stone is special.’
When I emptied one of the blood packs, Eisa came up to me. She looked around her mess and found Rahul’s body.
“Oh my god. “You actually fought and won against Rahul’s alter ego?”
“I fought because there was a chance of victory.”
I left her behind and approached Rahul’s alter ego, which had become her corpse.
A tattered corpse. Only the head and part of the upper body remained. This is enough. Grab the corpse’s head and use blood magic.
[Blood Chaser]
The blood that remained in Rahul’s body wriggled and lost its strength.
The magic didn’t work.
‘I was planning to find the location of the body with a blood chaser… Some action has been taken. Is it some kind of witchcraft? It would be impossible to find his location with a blood chaser.’
“It looks like it failed as expected. Well, Rahul would have taken some precautions to prevent tracking.”
“As long as he’s here, he won’t give up and will show up again. If you plan to stay here, tell me the information about him.”
“Of course. Let’s get out of here for now. But are you okay? “You already look pale, but you look even paler.”
“I’m fine. Let’s move.”
Before leaving her place, Essa took out her jade bracelet from her cleavage and handed it to me.
“Wear this. You will be able to escape Rahul’s pursuit. “Other people won’t realize it’s strange either.”
“I feel an alien force. Is it the power of that great spirit?”
“Yes. Processed from blessed jade… Nature’s bracelet. It feels natural when you wear it. The effect will last approximately one week. Unless you go on a rampage on purpose, you won’t get caught by Rahul.”〈 Br〉
I received the bracelet and put it on.
To be honest, it is difficult to trust the Druid’s magic because I cannot understand it at all. Still, there weren’t many options.
Seeing Eisa being so confident, it will definitely have an effect.
I wore a bracelet.
She felt pressure pressing down on her entire body.
“… ?!”
“Why are you doing this?!”
“What is this… ?” . I feel like my body is being oppressed. Even though it is night now, I feel like I am under the sunlight.”
“… Ah. A great spirit can be said to be the very nature of this world. To the Druid, all nature is a great spirit… So the sun is also a great spirit, so it is the sun.”
“In short, the power of the sun is contained in this bracelet?”
“Yes. Haha. It can’t be helped. Be patient. “It’s better than being chased by Rahul, right?”
“You call that guy your senior.” “He tried to kill you?”
“Yes. But I’m used to this.”
We fell far apart.
I was able to get information about Rahul.
Rahul.
Eisa’s senior classmate and a level 6 druid.
His specialty is self-immolation magic.
The magic he mainly uses is rock magic. Among them, the magic of Jiyeongjiseok (地影誌石). A spell that projects the power of the earth onto a small stone.
“Offense and defense. These are all excellent spells. The power varies depending on the Druid’s skill… “When I saw it earlier, Rahul’s Jiyeongjiseok, each one, must have weighed more than 10 tons.”
“… “What is Rahul’s purpose?”
“I don’t know the details either. But I guess… It must be transcendence. Senior Rahul. Even though he looks like that, he is over 50 years old. Even when I was training as a druid, I was a level 6 druid. I heard that he has been in level 6 for over 30 years. Even back then, my desire for promotion was enormous. So the purpose is probably… It would be a level 7 promotion.”
“I was corrupted for the sake of promotion. Well, is that kind of story? It’s a common story.”
It is not easy to reach level 6. But getting to level 7 is even more difficult. The majority of people who reach level 6 die before reaching level 7.
‘There’s a saying that the reason the 6th level strong people are so crazy is because they can’t get to the 7th level.’
The magic of the earthly stone. A spell that projects the power of the earth onto a small stone. An excellent spell for both attack and defense.
I don’t know exactly what Rahul is doing here, but if we’re here, he’ll find us and kill us one way or another.
“It’s getting tiresome. I don’t plan on going back like this… “It looks like it’s not there.”
“Of course. “There is always risk in reporting.”
“I can no longer cover that guy.”
“You can’t do it openly. Because Rahul will get caught.”
She smiled and raised her hand. She is wearing the same bracelet she gave me.
“Do you know when I use this bracelet? When you need undercover reporting! “Now is the time to start undercover reporting!”
