Chapter 32 – Chapter 3 – Blood Bridge?

-Chack!

A huge fish with red and white scales was swimming in the lake.

“Ohhh…!”

On a huge ship that could easily carry dozens of people, he mingled with the crowd and moved his gaze in the direction the fish were moving.

It was such a mysterious sight that I could understand why people wanted to see it so much.

To the extent that I would have wanted to take a picture if I only had a camera.

“Sojeo, is that fish really a spirit creature? I know there are famous spirit creatures among fish, but is it that kind?”

“If you’re talking about Mannyeonhwari, that’s not that much. If it’s really Mannyeonhwari, it’s not used for ornamental purposes like this, but all sorts of powers must have tried to catch it.”

“Ah.”

Come to think of it, it was.

I don’t know its value, but at least I know that it is an incredibly precious spiritual object.

‘..Is it delicious?’

-Chureub

I know that most of its value is due to Naedan, but wouldn’t it be delicious even though it’s such a precious spiritual object?

If I get a chance, I want to try it as a side dish someday.

“Still, given its size, it’s probably in the ranks of spirit creatures. It’s not a normal fish in that it’s already been alive for decades.”

The woman continued, wondering what meaning she took in my silence.

“But then, that fish is also delicious.

“It’s mine..”

The woman turned her head and looked at her fish.

For some reason, the fish seemed to be going deep into the water in a hurry.

“..I don’t think it’s at that level yet. And even if it does happen, the inner world of a spirit creature that lived so close to humans wouldn’t be worth much. There would be an enormous pile of takgi.”

“Then you will live a long time.”

“It’s hard to see it that way. Human greed has no end.”

-Shaking my head

The woman shook her head.

I wondered how long that fish could live.

Will I be able to survive when I return to the mountain and come out again?

“Ah, I was trying to look at something.”

I wiped my face with a towel while cursing at the fish.

It’s a small creature that can’t communicate with words, but I can read the heavenly spirit, so I wondered how long I’ll be alive, so I got as close as possible and fired a water cannon at me.

Because I shot it directly at the empty part of my face, all of my clothes inside were wet.

Do you know what Pokemon is?

‘It’s hard to wash this.’

The cloak of the hermit is waterproof, so it doesn’t get wet, but it couldn’t prevent the clothes worn inside from getting wet.

“Ha..”

“Why don’t you ask the sailor? There must be some extra clothes.”

“Extra clothes…”

“It’s okay if you’re not too wet, but if you wear wet clothes, you might get sick.”

“…I guess so.”

My body is so weak that if I catch a bad cold, I have to lie down for several days.

I think it’s better to just ask for forgiveness than to be stubborn.

If you really catch a cold, your schedule will be greatly disrupted.

“You mean extra clothes? I have one right now.”

-Chalak

“I’ll borrow a little until my clothes are dry…”

“Oh, thank you. It’s not even nice clothes anyway, so you can have them at all. It’s just a piece of cloth.”

I handed some silver coins to the sailor and got the clothes.

Certainly, it looked rough and rugged, like the clothes worn by sailors, but since you’re going to wear a cape on the outside anyway, your appearance won’t be revealed.

Just in case you have a problem

The size was too big for me, befitting the clothes of big sailors.

“Are you outside Soju?”

“Don’t worry, there is.”

And now, there is no one in use on the ship, and the only space closed to the outside is the dark warehouse at the bottom, so we have to rely on a single candle.

In the dark warehouse, I laid out the clothes I received from the sailor and lost myself in agony.

‘How do I do this?’

If I fold the length a lot, I can manage it, but my pants keep slipping down.

That’s not to say I’m not a pervert, and I can’t just walk around in a cloak with nothing underneath.

No matter how strong the wind blows, there is no worry of being exposed, but that is another matter.

Should I say something related to dignity?

‘Ha.’

If it was outside, you could light a fire to dry your clothes, but you can’t light a fire on a ship, so the only answer is to dry it naturally.

While worrying and worrying continued, a loud sound was heard from above the ship.

-Thud! Thud!

-Kyaahhhhh!

Sounds obviously ominous.

“…”

I heard what I assumed to be screams and my body froze.

But as for the woman leaving one of her doors outside, she was the exact opposite.

“..I’ll be back for a while. It might be dangerous, so stay here.”

“Now, wait a minute. I’m alone…”

– Phat!

“Leave…”

In an instant, the presence disappeared.

-Thud! Thud! Thud!

– Aaaaa!!

-Kyaaaaa!!!

It seemed that it was not a momentary commotion, but the noise and screams from above grew louder and louder.

“..Really, why are you doing this to me..”

I tried to enjoy the outside world a little bit, but it went crazy again.

Ominous thoughts kept popping up in my head.

If it’s just a common conflict between the Murim people in the midfield, it will end soon, but what if it’s a terrorist situation that only appears in movies?

‘..Should I just stay here..?’

Even if it is belatedly, you may be punished for following a woman.

In that situation, you wouldn’t think that there would be people in a warehouse like this, so the odds of survival would be high.

In the best case, that woman will quickly resolve the situation and come back.

-Bang! Bang!

‘Hee…’

She held her breath and clamped her mouth shut at the ominous sound that continued to grow.

– Rattling

Everything is fine, so I hope it ends soon.

* * *

The appearance on the ship that hurriedly climbed up to the light air was no different from a mayhem.

“Kwaaaaa!!!!”

– Kwadeuk!

“Aaaaa!!”

“Sah, save me!!”

A red-eyed man lost his temper and attacked other passengers, biting their necks.

No, looking closely, he wasn’t biting, but driving her teeth into it.

“Oh, that person is strange! He sticks his teeth into people’s necks and sucks their blood!”

Another passenger, who was trembling as if he had seen him with a sword, informed him.

“…Blood?”

“Yes, yes! I think he is the rumored vampire!”

“…A blood-sucking ghost.”

-Sue…

A bad memory came to mind.

– Flash!

– Took! Took!

With a small flash of sword light, both of the monster’s hands were cut off.

“Aaaaa!!!”

He helped the passenger he was holding with his hand fall and pushed it away.

Ignoring the loss of his hand, the monster stretched out his arm and thrust his teeth in this direction.

-Suddenly!

“Where are you sticking those dirty teeth?”

His teeth were cut out

-Suddenly!

Then the legs.

-Suddenly!

Then the arm.

“Turn it off!! Turn it off!!!!”

For an opponent of this level, there is no value in containing special enlightenment.

He just swings his sword recklessly.

“Why did the ghost of the old era, which destroyed itself by choosing the wrong enemy, resurrect?”

“Kwaaaaagh!!”

“Anyway, you, who are only at the level of the lowest-ranking member of the church, don’t know anything about it.”

-Suddenly!

The monster’s head was cut off.

There is no second chance to give to a blood member.

I couldn’t repeat the same mistake 20 years ago.

“Are you okay?”

My head ached at the traces of blood ties that were revived after 20 years, but now the priority is to deal with this situation.

I approached the man who had been bitten by the monster and passed his hand.

With his head down, he looked in poor condition..

“Ugh..?”

– Phat!

Seeing the monster’s red eyes, she hurriedly retreated from the man.

‘What?!’

No matter how powerful the Blood Religion was, it did not have the ability to bring the opponent into this state just by biting them.

If he had this ability in the past, he would have been able to devour the midfield without even calling it a war.

‘No, it’s different. It’s not the blood bridge then.’

The feeling is similar, but slightly different.

‘..It’s not a midfielder’s skill.’

No matter how close and strange the magic of Blood Bridge was, this one was different.

‘Is it the sorcery of the Saeoemurim?’

But right now there were more important things than finding the cause of this bizarre phenomenon.

No matter how much they fell under the magic of blood religion, they were ordinary people until just now.

It must be suppressed as unscathed as possible.

“Away from those who have been bitten by monsters!!”

“Aaaaagh!!!”

Shouts rang out among the crowd.

* * *

“Damn… What is that monstrous woman? She’s at least the level of a sword master.”

Dark hair and red eyes. And a man with vertical pupils took advantage of the confusion and hid himself in the back of an empty vessel.

“I tried to test to see if the strengthened followers were made properly… But I wasted precious materials.

He sighed and swung the black cloak around his body, and soon the man’s figure disappeared and a bat appeared in its place and began to fly away.

‘What in the world are you doing? Why is the Sword Master going around alone without his subordinates…’

And at that moment

-Peeing!

“Whoa?!”

A sword flew in and aimed at his wings, but he managed to brush the tip and avoid it.

When the man who had turned into a bat looked in the direction the sword had come from, the woman who seemed to be the owner of the sword was looking at him with a questioning expression.

‘Flying sword?! Aren’t you crazy?!’

Fortunately for the man, the sword never aimed at him again.

Even after subduing the infected, he just naturally entered the sheath of the woman who turned around to calm the ship’s chaotic situation.

‘Damn, damn, damn. I have to go back to the lab quickly.’

Her man gritted his teeth and left as quickly as possible.

‘How did you get a second chance? I can’t be defeated again!’

Remembering the disaster of the previous day.
