Chapter 200 – Chapter 11 – Change

“…Damn.”

– Stinging

Warstein, who first retreated because of the bad situation and then returned to their hiding place, sat on the throne holding his aching head.

It was a plan that had no choice but to succeed if it went according to the original plan.

Shintu’s Vigora fights with the demons who hastily mass-produced humans blinded by the prey, and as a result, humans die and kill each other, and he takes on the variable that can turn the war situation and binds it.

If this plan worked, the more time it dragged, the more advantageous it was, but even if unexpected variables occurred, too many occurred.

No matter how good a strategist is, it is a law to consider such variables and plan, but how do you consider the variable that lightning strikes the arena during a chess game and destroys the board and all the players?

-Wooksin

‘…Erdel.’

The bad relationship with the old man cannot be expressed in words, and even if I tried to write it on paper, I couldn’t write it down because there was not enough space.

In the first place, she stayed quiet with the other undead and cursed only her vampires so that they could not see her sunlight. There was no way her feelings for her could be good.

If it wasn’t for that year, there would be no remnant of humanity to unite and form an alliance, and there would be no need to continue that tough war for hundreds of years.

Her own soul would not have been torn apart and destroyed.

Even her hero was difficult enough, but in the end, she was the main body of her.

She was also the reason why the mentally weak hero was able to keep getting up no matter how much he collapsed.

On that subject, she is a saint who exists for the role of the incarnated body of a god, so her divine power is overflowing and her durability is solid. One was enough to fill.

In fact, a lot of blood was shed.

In order to somehow survive without dying and see how he colored the world with his will, he split his soul into several pieces, and then he managed to find the last piece and annihilate it.

He himself was destroyed before the end of the war, so he did not know whose victory ended in the end.

The time of the dead does not pass, so he did not know how much time had passed while he was extinguished.

‘..It’s a strange thing.’

He still didn’t know how he was able to reawaken and function in another world, when every last bit of his soul must have been destroyed, but that didn’t matter too much.

Anyway, he exists now.

To fulfill one’s duty as a servant, which he had not been able to do before.

That was the reason he exists now.

And even for that, it was necessary to analyze the wavelength of Erdel that he felt this time.

If she exists in this world, her odds are very slim.

Although she hates to admit it, it was impossible to catch her in her current state with her own and her vampires.

Even on the battlefield, it was her 1st Legion’s overwhelming mass offensive that held her back. Her own role was not a head-to-head fight against her, but her assassination of other human leaders, information manipulation, and surprise operations. Doesn’t fit

‘Somehow it doesn’t seem like that…’

– Flutter

I read her report again, frowning.

A huge pillar of light, believed to be Erdel’s divine power, appeared in the village near the volcano, and none of the clans that headed towards it returned alive…

– Tuk tok…

He touched the chair with her fingers and thought about her for a moment.

The fact that Erdel appeared there should be assumed to be a half-assed fact.

According to the report of those who returned, there was a high probability that the divine power belonged to Erdel, and he felt it even from a distance, so unless there is another person in the world who uses the same divine power, it must be Erdel.

Then, the next thing to think about is why did Erdel appear there?

‘…It seems that our side lost the war.’

If her undead side had won, there was no way she would be alive, so it seemed right to say that the human side had won and succeeded in surviving.

Even if the detailed circumstances may be different, there is currently no way to guess until after that, so if you say roughly that..

‘..Do you know that I have crossed over?’

In general, it is very risky for a being from one dimension to pass over to another.

It is the dimensional barrier that even the great wizards, who only appeared in legends, could not conquer.

Something close to a kind of law that prevents the invasion of beings from other dimensions and the escape of beings inside the dimension.

In order for a being from one dimension to pass over to another, two such barriers must be pierced.

When to go and when you come in

It didn’t matter to her because the process ended without her knowledge, but if Erdel was still in her original world, it would be impossible for her body to directly enter this world.

Given all these circumstances, the most probable…

‘..Advent?’

It was a form that temporarily entered someone’s body.

It also consumes a huge amount of energy.

Since the binding force of the dimensional barrier is in the form of being much stronger the stronger the object possesses, such as gravity, it is virtually impossible for her body to break through the barrier, and there is no way she will abandon the world she loves so much and come to a world she has never seen before. The conclusion was narrowed down to one.

‘Then there is a medium or means of contact in the middle…’

Who could be the eyes of Erdel in this world?

If only he was caught, it was possible to rule out Erdel’s existence.

‘Since it must have descended on his body, traces will remain around him.’

Although the results of the first surprise attack were not satisfactory, it was a considerable harvest to confirm the variable called Erdel at this point.

If it had come out later at a crucial moment, everything could have been in a mess, but if it had come out now, the only thing it would lose was the troops, and there was no problem in preparing for the full-scale ceremony.

‘Still, the troops have decreased considerably.’

There were about 20 vampires who could not return due to this incident.

One vampire has at least two or three followers. At most, there were 5 or 6 people, so the actual number had to be multiplied there.

Unlike the general undead, it is a pretty painful figure for vampires who are aiming for a small elite.

Still, it was comforting to know that I had obtained everything I really needed, even though there were sudden variables.

It dealt a huge blow to Hwasan, one of the old factions, and caused distrust between Safa and Jeongpa, while inflicting considerable loss of troops on both sides.

And he succeeded in taking care of the old Blood Religion Sacrifice, which was the original reason for going there, during the retreat.

How to do everything you can, even if you retreat when necessary.

At this level, if not the best result, it can be evaluated as a barely average result.

‘Still, if I had been killed by Erdel, I wouldn’t have been taken prisoner since everyone would have been annihilated… Hmm?’

While checking the list and checking the number of family members connected by blood, I found one strange thing.

There was one that had not yet perished.

‘..Flora?’

A toy that I got interested in recently.

I like the tenacity and madness. I played with it because I thought it would be fun to grow once I raised it, but it seems that I couldn’t come back this time.

‘..I remember sending it to the volcano.’

Most of the people who did not return this time were not the volcano, but those who were caught up in by Erdel while raiding civilians in a nearby village, and most of those who went to the volcano returned safely.

The possibility that he was overpowered by a soldier there could not be ruled out.

No matter how uncivilized the world may be, the one shot of those who reached the extreme in anything could not be ignored.

But even if I was subdued, something was strange.

All vampires under his command and his followers have a built-in spell that, if captured, causes their bodies to instantly disappear into dust to prevent information disclosure.

‘…I forgot.’

When she thought about it, she brought her into her circle without knowing who brought her back to life, so if she had to engrave such a spell, it was something she should have done, none other than herself.

It was the first time this happened, so I forgot about it.

‘…What. It’s not too late.’

It’s enough to withdraw your power now.

If it were other vampires, he was a load.

The king of all vampires. The progenitor of all vampires.

What exists after their death is their own ability and their own grace.

That meant that he could send all his followers back to the earth at that moment if he wanted to.

So far, they’re quite useful subordinates, so I don’t have the heart to do that, but if it’s judged useless, I’ll consider that too.

– Took.

Anyway, I just disconnected from Flora.

It’s a matter of what information she divulges in her captivity over the course of a couple of days, but she doesn’t worry too much.

After all, the information I gave to the toy was only useless.

In fact, she didn’t care that she wasn’t being held captive and that she was struggling to get back alive.

Toys should be played safely, and dangerous toys should be discarded immediately.

‘Then what we have to do next…’

The most important thing is to prepare a ritual for him with the serum he brought back.

And the next most important thing is to find the existence of the ‘eye’ that Erdel has placed in this world.

‘I’m looking forward to it.’

There were no clues yet, but if you were connected to Erdel that much, you could quickly identify his identity with just a little clue.

I still don’t know who is doing it and for what purpose.

It seemed that he would be able to spend his free time happily for the next week or so just by securing him and contemplating how to destroy him in front of Erdel’s eyes.

“Kyaaaaa!!”

Dang Ah-young’s screams had been heard since morning.

“M, M, what is it..?”

“..What’s going on?”

Master and I had been sleeping for a while, and then we hurriedly left the room and headed to the place where we heard Dang Ah-young’s screams.

“Po, the person who was held prisoner…!”

“…Uh.”

She was lying on the floor with the vampire woman she’d captured earlier banging her head on her floor, bleeding profusely.

A sight you would only see in a detective cartoon.

“I-I have to wipe the blood first…? Sue, a towel…”

While Dang Ah-yeong was confused, I cautiously approached the side where she fell.

Could it have been hiding poison?

‘Well, he asked me to wait a few days.’

It wasn’t too bad that I didn’t hear it, but looking at him dead like this, I wonder if that was just to pass the time.

It could have been poison that took some time to kill itself.

“Hey. Are you dead?”

– Tuk tuk

She must have died if you saw the huge amount of blood scattered around her, so I just said it for nothing..

“…Eww…”

“?!”

The person she thought was dead groaned and jerked her body.

I was stunned and walked away from her, frightened as she was, and after a while she lifted her head and met her eyes.

And as soon as I looked into her eyes, I knew something had changed.

“…I… Who… Are you…?”

Her eyes, which had been red until just yesterday, had changed to a familiar blue.
