Chapter 140 – 140. Hunting

After passing through the castle gate and entering the courtyard, we headed for the banquet hall building next to the main castle based on the information we had already acquired.

A lobby lavishly decorated in red and gold is revealed with the screams of old hinges. I looked around and confirmed that no one was there, then quickly went up to the second floor.

And then, without realizing it, I almost spilled a curse word.
It was because of the corpses hanging upside down on the red table. They all had their eyes gouged out and their hands amputated. And under it was a large bowl.

Perhaps the blood spurted from the severed wrist is put into that bowl.

“Cruel bastards.”

Nod.

Seol Da-jin, who saw the scene from the side, spits out anger. The same goes for Jung Ha-ryun. Ryu Eun-hwa and Park Do-ki also seemed to be in a bad mood.

It was just as I was trying to beckon them to calm down when they were showing off their anger.

Chunk! Cheek!!
Thud! Coo!!

The shackles were released and the corpses hanging from the ceiling fell onto the table.

Right after.

Turn it off

The corpses we thought were dead came back to life and started attacking us. I frowned and swung my sword.

The reanimated corpses were not strong.
His pace was slow and he had poor balance, so he often fell alone while walking this way. It wasn’t even a threat.

That made me feel even worse.
It wasn’t like a trap, it was just an act to humiliate us.

“I feel dirty.”

When all the corpses were sorted out, Seol Da-jin spoke for us all. Jung Ha-ryun, who actively sympathized with his words, nodded vigorously.

So did I.
I moved, vowing not to kill the vampire lord easily, who is the owner of this castle and who committed such vile acts.

When we entered the main castle through the hallway connected to the banquet hall, the knights we saw in the red flower field greeted us.

They walked with steel armor clad all over their bodies making the sound of metal clashing against each other, and they fell without even making a proper attack.

What was inside was, of course, a withered corpse. The only difference was that his wrist was not cut off. It was the same as the eyes were digging.

After repeating the process of defeating the knights and advancing, a bloody staircase appeared in front of us like a red carpet.

It was a stairway to the top floor.

“Now I can see the face of that vampire or whatever.”

Seol Dajin, who strode up the stairs, kneaded his fist and said. It seems that the corpses have increased the swelling. I told her to calm her excitement and went up to her top floor, following her blood trail into her vampire lord’s room.

“You have arrived.”

Bak Do-gi murmured in the empty room.
After that, the eyes that reach me. I already knew what to do. I took out the black jewel of Chinodon that I had kept in my chest and dropped it in the middle of the room.

Bang!!

I hit it with my scabbard.
Then, the magic of the vampire lord contained in the jewel is released, and a huge magic circle is created throughout the room.

The scenery in the room disappeared along with the intense light, and what appeared was a ‘giant eyeball’ made of countless bodies and eyeballs, and a man’s back looking at it.

“You are here at last. Welcome All intruders.”

The man makes a heavy bass sound and slowly looks behind him. Hair neatly swept back and pale skin. And blood red eyes.

He was the owner of this castle and the hidden gate’s boss monster, the ‘Vampire Lord’.

“It is an honor to meet you like this. Did you enjoy the presents I prepared for you during your visit?”

“A present prepared for you?”

“The corpses. How does it feel to slaughter those who were once kind…”

The vampire lord’s words did not follow through. Seol Da-jin, who had hit the ground before that, threw a fist.

“How rude! How dare Jim say…”

Bak Do-gi’s blunt weapon fell to him who turned into black smoke and avoided the attack. After that, Ryu Eun-hwa’s twin swords fell like thunder from behind him.

I turned into black smoke again and sneered at the vampire lord who evaded the attack.

“We never asked you to tell us. Right, Haryyeon-ah?”

At that moment, five black magic bullets were fired.
A red film formed around the vampire lord before the explosion.

“…You don’t know anything about etiquette like a lower tribe!”

As the smoke clears, the high-dose growl.

“You look very angry?”

“Shut up!”

“I think it’s you who has to shut up, not me.”

It’s not because Seol Da-jin is kicking her from behind.

“!!”

By the time he noticed it, a high kick had already hit him in the temple.

Puck!! It bounced off with a sound and rolled on the floor before dispersing as black smoke.

“Dare!”

Appearing in mid-air, he waved his hand, and blood-colored orbs created in the air shot out. As I was avoiding the attacks while hugging Jeong Ha-ryun, a red grip protruded from the floor.

I think I intuitively realized that I was the leader. Or maybe it’s just because it’s mean.

After throwing Jeong Ha-ryun into the air, he spurred the ground to avoid the red grip, and Jeong Ha-ryun, who finished the cast before he knew it, fired a second spell.

Explosions in the air.
This time, he created a red curtain to block the magic bullet, and the moment he tried to counterattack.

Ryu Eun-hwa, who jumped out of the smoke, slammed the double sword.

“Kahak!!”

Courgette colossus.

The moment when the vampire lord, who had been hit with a straight blow and fell, hit the floor and bounced up.

“Search!”

Seol Da-jin’s soccer kick mercilessly kicked him in the stomach.

Bang!!

The ungainly flying vampire lord staggers to his feet. Seeing that the two women are unharmed even after being hit in succession, the boss monster is, of course, a boss monster.

It’s sturdy.

“…You guys.”

Hard.

“I will kill everyone!”

Huge magic power gathers in the hands of the one whose face is distorted like a demon. However, the place where the mighty magic was directed was not to us, but to the giant eyeball right next to us.

“Please accept! Please come down!! I offer 247 humans and 38 vampires!!”

Huge eyeballs explode.
The shock caused the blood and flesh that sprang out in all directions to stop for an instant. However, the world did not stop as it did back then.

The blood and flesh that stood tall in the air returned and clung to the vampire lord as if time were going backwards.

Jeong Ha-ryun gasped in vain as he watched the man gradually transform into a huge mass of flesh.

“Ouch…!”

“Shoot him.”

She nodded at my words and immediately fired a magic bullet at her, but to no avail. The flesh scattered in the explosion returned to the vampire lord as before.

Thud!!

A massive flesh giant steps out of his way.
That alone shakes the ground. If you get even one hit from a guy like that, whether your durability is 70 or 80, you’ll be crushed in one shot.

“Haryeon-ah.”

Jung Ha-ryun, who got out of her arms, spreads her distance and casts magic. Kwa Gaga Gwang!! The guy who didn’t budge from the series of explosions let out a sneer.

“No use. Even lowly human magic does not work on me, who has been blessed by the gods.”

“What is God’s blessing?”

The same phenomenon as in Rigo did not occur.
I took a leap with a smile on my face. The moment he noticed the existence of this side, he tried to turn his body.

‘Geosimryu (鉅心流) united mind (合心).’

The sword containing enormous magical power split the body vertically, revealing the vampire lord buried in the flesh.

“Nice!”

Seol Da-jin jumped up without missing the moment and the drop kick exploded.

“Ouch!!?”

With a crackling sound, the vampire lord fell as if being ripped from his flesh. Waiting for him was Ryu Eun-hwa, who was wearing a Geosim-ryu Geogang with a double sword.

Thud!!!

“Kahak!!”

The guy who fell while vomiting blood turned into black smoke and opened up the distance, but before he knew it, a reddened Do-gi Park appeared behind him.

“!?”

Puck!! The mace hit her in the back of the head,

“Mister! Don’t miss it!”

Jeong Ha-ryun’s magic bullets rain down on the person who loses focus and collapses. She didn’t stop there, and after pouring her magic bullets one more time, she shouted.

“Cow, it’s useful…!”

I must have been very angry because I said earlier that it was useless. With a wry smile, I threw away the sword with only the handle remaining and headed for the center of the explosion.

There lay the vampire lord, most of his body missing.

“He is still alive.”

It’s making a gasping sound, but it’s still alive. I sat down and told him.

“You may speak now.”

“Keuk… Kkeuk…”

After I snorted, I stood up and Seol Da-jin came over and put her foot on his head.

Kwajik.

Stepped on it

* * *

After the hidden gate was deactivated and we returned outside, many people’s eyes were fixed on us.

Among them were SSLK trainees who returned with our help. Standing with the big wolf, I slightly bowed to the woman who gave me a look of awe and followed the Hunter Association employee who greeted me to the management office.

Since we had already finished talking about how to deal with the loot before leaving the hidden gate, the meeting with the Hunter Association staff also proceeded quickly.

‘…To make a sword.’

Blood crystals that came out as trophies from the ‘battlefield’ had the property of absorbing blood, and equipment made of blood crystals had a special ability to absorb blood and preserve their original form.

The lovers, and Park Do-gi, were willing to give up blood crystals for me, who smashed my weapon every time.

‘Should I repay you?’

In particular, he needed a present for Park Do-gi, who meekly gave up his share. As I was thinking about what to give, I remembered what he had said the other day.

‘I was going to stop by the SSLK training center anyway, so I’ll have to ask now.’

If it goes well, there could be no better gift than this. If it doesn’t go well…Well, I have no choice but to give you an item from a separate draw.

Anyway, I think about it after going to the SSLK training center.

“Heheh… Brother…”

It was time to give love to the three lovers who were waiting for me.
