Chapter 188 – Chapter 10 – The Meaning of Life 1

There were several reasons why Blood Bridge chose Hwasan as the stage for their debut.

In the meantime, they hid here and there and made small accidents, but since they did not show up in earnest, there were not so many people who noticed their existence, and even if they noticed, unless they did a big job, they could realistically focus all their attention on them and only check them. Is not there.

And as an organization that exists under such a surface, it was a large surprise operation that could show maximum efficiency.

The moment they made their full-fledged appearance, they could no longer enjoy many of the benefits they had gained through covert activities, and as much as they had to throw them away, they had to get as much as they could at once, so the Volcanic Faction was the best prey for the Blood Religion.

For those who wish for the destruction of Jungwon, the Murim people of Jungwon are an enemy they will have to fight someday.

It was judged that if one of the powers of the Gupabang or the Five Greats could be destroyed from the start, which is the largest force in the central plains, it would be possible to take the war that would occur later much more advantageously.

Furthermore, Seoan Seo, where the volcano is located, can be said to be the center where the power of the political faction gathers.

If a terrorist attack was successful in a place believed to be safe, both civilians and Moorim could take a huge psychological hit.

It was only natural that the Blood Bridge’s morale would rise.

Although their control tower and maximum power, Warstein, went to Shintu’s Vigo, the power itself decreased, but it was the same for Volcano and Murimmaeng, so in the end, the ratio of power could be said to be almost the same.

And now that raids on the volcano and nearby villages have begun

The war situation was going very favorably for the Blood Bridge side.

* * *

If each other’s power was similar, the next most important thing was information.

Just as it is not for nothing that Sun Tzu’s Law of War says that the guard is not in a fight, the difference in information played a very important role in the war.

Blood ties have a lot of information obtained from the spies planted in the volcano or the warriors of the revived volcano.

In particular, the mysteries of the other world called magic, which the Murim people have never faced before, exerted tremendous power in the unmanned world where victory and defeat were decided by a single point.

“Kreukreuk.. Cowardly witchcraft..”

-Suddenly!

-Thud!

“It seems that Lee is the last human left in this building. I will move on to the next building.”

“Okay, Ligreetta. How about Flora?”

“You mean the guy who is receiving the Lord’s grace to the extent of overdoing it?”

The female vampire called Ligritta heard her return radio and turned her head to face Flora.

“Tell me. Where is the swordsman now?”

“Kuh-kuh.. Do you think I’ll tell you that..”

It looked like he was interrogating something from a fallen soldier.

“Looks like you’re doing well. It seems like you’re doing useless things.”

“I see. But isn’t it helpful for her to give directions? She heard that she was from here when she was alive too.”

“Not at all. In the meantime, he seems to have wandered more than I did. Apparently, he didn’t wander around beyond a certain area even when he was a human.”

“Tsk. I thought she would be useful, but it wasn’t. Now that I know her, don’t get any further than a certain distance from her. Her rod told me to keep an eye on her.”

Ligretta was watching Flora because of Warstein’s orders, and she was very dissatisfied with this.

A pure-blooded vampire created by Warstein in the first place, she basically had a tendency to look down on her resurrected family members, but to think that such a half-punisher was favored by the Lord.

The word is surveillance, but if you interpret this differently, isn’t it different from asking her to take on the role of a babysitter?

That’s also a kid who’s never been out in real life.

“…What if she gets injured or dies as a result of an unexpected accident? For example, a surprise attack from a hidden enemy.”

“He didn’t ask for anything else. He should take care of his own life. Wouldn’t he already want to be saved once?”

“Hoo.”

That meant that Rod didn’t care too much about the toy.

The words that even if you just throw it away, the severe punishment of the road will not fall.

“Tell me quickly. I haven’t learned how to torture, so I don’t know how to kill and inflict pain.”

“Ha, do you think your life will be a waste now? And is there a guarantee that if you tell me, you will be spared?”

“…First of all, I’ll have to cut off one arm. If you want to keep even the sword hand, you’d better speak quickly..”

-Hook!

“Did I waste enough time?

Flora pierced the interrogator between the eyebrows and killed him instantly, forcibly raising Flora.

A look that doesn’t hide the displeasure in his eyes at all.

“Don’t get me wrong, Flora. Our mission is to clear the designated area, not to avenge your enemies.”

“…”

– Kwaaaaak

Flora could see the strength in her hand gripping the sword.

‘Am I going to explode here?’

If so, he himself was rather welcome.

Although he received a little attention from the pure-blooded vampire Lord, he could not be beaten by a half-penny bitch.

The one who swung the sword first was over there, so the justification was over there.

If the circumstances were right, it could be said that Flora did not kill her enemies because of her love in life, but rather betrayed her allies by brandishing her sword.

‘What should I do, half a penny.’

Ligreeta heated up the magic circuit so that she could counterattack at any time and waited for Flora to run out of control, but

“…”

– Clap

– Poof!

As if he had succeeded in calming down his emotions, he silently put his sword into the scabbard and walked forward.

‘Sorry.’

Hopefully I could get rid of one annoying bitch.

Ligritta clicked her tongue and calmed down her mana circuit, which had heated up.

I hoped that Flora would go on a rampage here, but it didn’t matter if she didn’t.

If you think of that temperament, if you stimulate it a little more, there will be a moment when you have an accident, so you can aim for that time.

But Ligreetta didn’t know yet.

The one who just saved his life was rather himself.

Flora didn’t go on a rampage because she wanted to save some of her strength in case she met her enemies, not because she was afraid.

-Tadat! Fault!

‘Damn the smoke..!’

While running to the Murimmaeng Headquarters to avoid the enemies, the fire was spreading more and more.

Since the times are different, most of the materials used to make the buildings are easily combustible, so there was no sign that the fire would stop.

Wouldn’t it be better if water was drawn from the riverside and poured into it? Who would be leisurely putting out the fire in a building while vampires were roaming around attacking people?

No matter how important property is, you have to live first.

-Closely

I hurriedly ripped off some of her clothes and covered my nose with a piece of cloth and continued running.

Others would have quickly figured out where the safest place was in this situation.

There must have been a lot of people gathered near the Moorim Maeng headquarters, so they must have dealt with the fire somehow.

‘It would be better if it rained…!’

The nobleman, the God of Heaven and Earth, usually punishes the people for being trivial, but when he is like this, not even a drop of rain falls.

I’m not the kind of person who enjoys watching people die, so I think there must be some circumstances…

– Beep! Beep! Beep!

‘Why doesn’t the shop window open again..!’

Even if you call the shop window to buy a magic tool that makes it rain or something that will help you escape now, it won’t open.

It’s the same even if you call the saintess inside.

Neither the deity of heaven or earth nor the saintess showed any reaction as if something had happened.

I moved my legs hard, feeling that something was going strangely.

– Toduk tok…

“…?”

I could feel the raindrops hitting my hand.

I looked up and looked at the sky, but somehow the clouds were gathering and it was raining.

‘Is it about a shower..?’

It felt like the water wasn’t cool enough to stop the fire.

A weak drop of rain that would probably stop in about 5 to 10 minutes at the longest.

Still, it was nice to have this one.

If left alone, the expansion of the flames, which would grow exponentially, would slow down a little.

When I lowered my head again from looking at the cloud and looked towards Dang Ah-young, Dang A-young stopped walking, leaned against the wall of the alley, and had a serious expression on her face.

“…Nothing..”

[Shh.]

The moment I was about to ask what was going on, I heard a transmission sound.

Dang Ah-yeong’s expression clearly showed that the current situation was by no means smooth.

And then, Dang Ah-yeong’s whole tone.

[…There’s an enemy on the side you have to pass.]

“…”

“…And it seems that the other side noticed this side.”

-Jerbuck

Along with Dang Ah-young’s electronic sound, I heard the sound of footsteps approaching this direction.

“…How strong is it?”

“…I’m wearing a sword steel.”

“…”

It was hopeless.

Being able to handle the level of sword steel that can be seen with the naked eye is at least transcendence, and maybe even higher than that.

And Dang Ah-young’s realm is at its peak.

Even that was already noticed by the opponent, and even the main skill, the ambush, was blocked.

Overwhelming power difference.

-Seureung

The sound of the sword brushing against the air was choking us, like an announcement from the god of death.
