Chapter 2433 – 2433. Dark Moon

“Keuuuuu…”

Rahul groaned and got up from the jade bed.

The alter ego just died. Rahul, who was controlling his alter ego through connected consciousness, was physically intact, but his consciousness was damaged.

Rather than damage suffered from battle, it was a magical recoil that occurred when the connection with the alter ego was forcibly severed.

“… “I feel like my head is going to explode.”

“Rahul. What’s going on?”

A man in his 30s, wearing a suit and with a friendly look, quietly came up next to him and handed him a cup of water.

Oat. He is his secretary and the person in charge of the Fresh Medicin project underway here.

Rahul took the cup of water handed to him by Ott and drank it down. When I add cold water, I feel a little better.

“It’s a variable. “Vampires and druids entered the project area.”

“… It’s been a while since an outsider came in.”

“I guess the failure that happened last time caused this change. The druid is Eisa Gomes. “He is a fellow priest of mine.”

“… Gomes? “Is it related to Ilario Gomes?”

“It’s my daughter.”

“You’re the daughter of the editor-in-chief of Liberals. She’s annoying just to listen to. As this is relatively close to Neo-London, the project should not be known. It must be dealt with. Is that okay?”

“You don’t need to look at me. I have already cut off all ties. If Eisa is found, kill him. He is a druid who reached level 5 in his 20s, but has no interest in combat, so he is only level 4. The problem is that it’s difficult to find. And there is a Jinhyeol vampire next to Eisa.”

“… Do you mean Jinhyeol? That’s interesting. In today’s era, Jinhyeol vampires are the rarest of rare species. “I want to capture him alive, even if it was by someone other than his birth.”

“This guy is not normal. He had extensive combat experience and was bold in his hands. He is a level 6 high-ranking blood mage. Captured alive? “Then he gets hit in reverse.”

“… He’s a true blood vampire and a level 6 blood mage. If he thoughtlessly dispatched a combat unit, he would be annihilated on the contrary. Oh, what does that vampire look like?”

Rahul frowned and spoke of the vampire’s facial expression. A vampire with long hair.

“Long hair. No, no way.”

“Do you know this guy?”

“He is a nova that has suddenly appeared in the Neo London mercenary world recently. Request completion rate 100%. Eugene the body collector. I heard that they mainly use blood magic and black magic as an auxiliary.”

“… Black magic. Okay. It was the loser who got cursed by that guy. Pain Tula. A curse that causes extreme pain. Because the clone did not feel pain, it did not notice the curse and suffered it. In this respect, the absence of pain is not just a good thing. What is his name?”

“This is Eugene. “I don’t know your last name, and it may not be your real name.”

“Does not matter. “As long as he calls himself that name, that name will also become one of his names.”

“Are you trying to put a curse on me?”

“I was cursed, so shouldn’t I pay back with a curse? I should make it clear this time that curses are not the exclusive domain of warlocks. “Can I ask you to prepare?”

“It only takes 10 minutes. I feel sorry for the person who will be cursed by Rahul. “May I ask what kind of curse it is?”

“It is a curse of madness. Basically, it would be impossible to make a high-ranking wizard with excellent mental defense completely crazy… Just instilling a little madness will give you a huge advantage in the next battle.”

Ott, who is working on the project in his 30s, completed preparations for the curse ritual in 10 minutes, as he said.

Rahul walked towards the prepared altar of the ceremony hall. The five creatures prepared on the altar wriggle. It was human. He was just a human being mixed with something and becoming disgusting.

He began his ritual by killing all the sacrifices with an obsidian dagger.

The price has been paid, and I know the face and name of the person cursed. It would be more complete if there was hair, blood, or flesh from the target, but it was clear that it would not be available right away. He’s not a fool and won’t leave his mark.

“Great God of life. We offer our sincerity and offering. Please give me some of your power.”

Rahul, who began the ritual, recited mantras without stopping. Eventually, the curse was completed.

“Wow!”

Rahul vomited blood profusely and fell in front of the altar.

Ott, who was watching from behind, was startled and approached him.

“Rahul! What happened?!”

“Damn… The curse failed. In return, he suffered internal injuries. I guess I’ll have to focus on recuperation for the time being… “I will leave the rest to you.”

“Rahul, the curse failed? Rahul is an apostle of God! The curse must have contained Akar’s power… ! Is it possible to fail?!”

“That true vampire guy even received God’s blessing. “He is also a god of a higher rank than Akar.”

Ott’s expression distorted. He knows because he is the one carrying out the project. How absurd the power of God is. Rahul guessed what he was thinking and said, wiping the blood from his mouth with his sleeve.

“No need to worry. God’s blessings are different for each person, and the blessings a vampire receives are likely to be talent-related blessings. Also, the gods basically cannot use their power unless they meet their own needs. Even if we use our strength, it is only very limited.”

“Oh, that’s right. That’s why we suffer here. Rest. “I will do the rest.”

“Let me give you some advice. If something seems strange, don’t hesitate and use your hand. Otherwise, call me.”

Rahul got up. He staggered out of the ceremony hall.

I asked Eisa.

“Rahul is a self-immolationist. It looks like he will release his alter ego and find us. Can you hide Rahul’s gaze with this bracelet?”

“Of course it’s impossible. Rahul is a better druid than me. Maybe you’ll see right through it? But it’s okay. Rahul senior’s alter ego will not move.”

“Why are you sure?”

“Well, in order to maintain such a large-scale barrier, senior Rahul’s clones must continue the ritual at a specific location. And as the alter ego died, the main body would have suffered damage from the recoil… “It takes at least three days to create a new alter ego.”

“You know Rahul well.”

“I was very interested in self-immolation, so it bothered my senior a lot. In the end, I couldn’t even take the basics because I didn’t have the aptitude.”

Is it aptitude?

It seems that aptitude is equally important for wizards and druids.

In the case of wizards, magic is divided into various types and requires aptitude. Isn’t elemental magic divided into water, fire, wind, etc.?

“How do you find out the aptitude for being a druid? “Can I do it too?”

“A vampire is a druid? I’ve never heard of it… I’m interested. Shall we experiment?”

Essa took a leaf out of her cleavage. She looked ordinary on the outside. When she concentrated, she felt a little strange.

“It is a leaf filled with the power of great spirit. It is useful for young druids to find out their aptitude.”

“Are you carrying that with you?”

“This is also an excellent emergency medicine. Now, grab the leaf and let the mana flow. You will respond according to your aptitude. I was a leaf turned to stone.”

“That’s interesting.”

I poured mana into the leaves.

The leaves turned blood-red and then turned mushy.

“Uh? This is my first time seeing something like this… “Is it because he’s a vampire?”

“How many more of these are there?”

“Yes. Well, it’s not that hard to get.”

I took the leaf she gave me again.

‘Are the leaves soaked in blood because I am now a vampire?’

To test it out, I focused on mana.

Puzzle!

Lightning began to flash from the leaves.

“Uh… ? You also have a knack for lightning.”

The changes didn’t end there. It was wet, frozen, and then blazing brightly. I reacted the way I thought. This leaf does not derive the properties of mana. It reacts not to mana, but to the spirit.

“Uh, uh, how did this happen…?” ?!”

“I guess I get it. This leaf is a medium for the great spirit you speak of. “It is about bringing out the aptitude of the target by sensitizing the spirit.”

“Ah yes. That’s right. The source of a druid’s power is the great spirit.”

“Mental contact with the great spirit is the essence of Druid magic.”

“Yes. “You understood right away.”

I have completely lost interest in druid magic.

The mental communication with the great spirit just now did not occur at all. That is why the leaves reacted according to the properties of mana. Since it has no mental sensitivity, it has become a leaf that only reacts to mana.

The reason why psychic communication does not occur… I do not know either. I don’t have any interest.

“Let’s start with the undercover reporting you mentioned.”

“Huh? “Don’t you want to become a druid?”

“I’m not interested.”

“… You speak completely accurately. I was curious because Vampire Druids are rare… You can’t help it if you don’t like it. What is important before undercover reporting is the minimum amount of information. First, we need to get basic information.”

She and I walked around and collected information. The method was to capture information from passing tribesmen. Surprisingly, we often encountered passing tribesmen, most of whom were peddlers.

The humans here all lived a tribal life. Each tribe had a different atmosphere and appearance.

A total of 19 tribes.

Among these, there were five ordinary human tribes. Each person stays in a corner and does not move. Their power was weak compared to the odd-looking tribes.

The 19 tribes were complexly divided into hostile tribes and allied tribes. There was no tribe that maintained complete neutrality.

“First, I’m glad we have a tribe of ordinary humans. If you’re going to infiltrate, it’s from this tribe. Even if there is a natural bracelet, if the appearance is too different, it feels different. Three out of five tribes have cannibalism… The remaining two. Let’s go to the furthest tribe. I heard that the tribe there is the most gentle.”

“… Are you really doing this?”

“Then should we fake it? Now, let’s get ready.”

Eisa was full of motivation.
