Chapter 44 – Chapter 4 – Rescue?

“Damn it! Wake up, test subjects!”

Feeling the death of the last of his people, Mardin awakened all the subjects in his laboratory.

Originally, they were soldiers made to reveal their identities to the world and be used when starting a war, but to Mardin, his life was important right now.

– Knocked up! Rattle!

-Bang!

“””Geuuuuu!!”””

Hundreds of vampires whose powers are second-class to first-class and can be recovered through vampirism.

It is an army that could devastate the surrounding area if sent outside right now.

“Where do you dare to point your filthy teeth!”

– Kagagak!

Even if the opponent was bad, it was too bad.

Every time Swordhu swung his sword, the vampires lost their heads and collapsed on the spot.

-Peeing!

In addition to the sword she wielded, the sword that had been broken around her moved with her will and began to cut her vampire.

-Suddenly! Awesome!

“Aaaaa!!!”

“Keep it off!!”

“Get out of the way!!”

No matter how undead can regenerate their wounds, their numbers began to decrease rapidly as they could not regenerate once their heads were lost.

– Hard… Hard

“Damn… Damn… How did you chase me all the way here…”

An underground laboratory that should never be discovered is discovered, and an enraged sword master enters it and cuts down the test subjects on his way to the lowest floor.

Mardin bit his nails and began to think of a way to remedy this situation.

1. Join forces with the test subjects to defeat the Sword Master.

-Quaguaguagwang!!

Considering the sounds from upstairs, it was absolutely impossible.

2. Hurry up and ask for support.

Even if you ask for it, there is no guarantee that you will be able to come to help right away.

3. Run away.

It was by far the most powerful method.

‘Even if you use the secret passage, there is no guarantee that you will be able to escape perfectly. It’s going to come to the end of hell. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t enough time to activate the warp gate…’

If you use a warp gate that twists between spaces to move to another place, you can escape perfectly, but it takes time to activate it.

There was not enough time to activate it while buying time with the existing test subjects.

‘How can I make it last longer…’

I was wondering how much time I could take if I knocked down the entrance to the lab.

“What, what! What’s the situation now!”

The priest whom he had entrusted to his family earlier was struggling while tied to his pillar.

As he looked at him, a thought crossed his mind.

‘..Hostage?’

A classic, obvious but effective tool.

The priest himself said that he did not know the swordsman, but there is a possibility that the swordsman cared for him.

Anyway, right now, there is no other option.

“Stay still. If you move even a little, I’ll make a hole in your body.”

“Hee…”

As he exerted pressure on the priest by emitting magical energy, he could confirm that he was frightened and immediately stiffened.

“Okay. Stay still like that.”

I activated the magic circle and knocked down the entrance to make it last a little longer.

It wouldn’t delay much time, but now every minute and every second was precious.

.
.
.

– Kwaaaaang!

“How dare you do shallow numbers…!”

Geomhu exploded the collapsed entrance with an angry expression and entered the lowest floor of the laboratory.

“Stop!!”

And the moment she confirmed that she had entered, Mardin made her hold her hostage in full view of her.

“Eup! Eup!”

“The moment he does anything stupid on the spot, this guy’s life is lost!”

“…!”

I pointed the dagger made of blood to his neck and checked the remaining time until the magic circle was activated.

-Uuuuu

‘The next 5 minutes.. It’s enough time to turn it off with a little fuss.’

“I know you guys can wield a sword without touching it! Put your sword in the ground and raise your hands!”

“Blood religion bastard… Cowardly until the end…”

“Do you really want to see blood?”

-Kwook

The dagger in Mardin’s hand pierced the fortuneteller’s neck slightly.

“Eup!! Eup!!”

“..Isn’t it unrelated to him! Taking an unrelated ordinary person hostage. Isn’t it embarrassing!”

“There’s no relationship. It seems like they’re quite special enough to bring them together even when they crawled into the trap, right?”

“Keugh…!”

“Now. If I put a little bit of strength into my hands like this, this man will be finished. Hurry up and do as I am told.”

As Mardin spoke, she doubted whether she would obey him, but she couldn’t help but laugh inwardly at her actions that followed.

-Poo-wook

Her sword was driven so deep into her floor that she could barely see the handle.

Her face was stained with shame and anger as she raised her hands.

‘Next 3 minutes…’

“Okay. Just stay still. I’ll let you go as you please in a little while.”

“..How do you release it?”

“Do you think you are in a position to question this body?”

It was a bluff.

A bluff she would never let go if she didn’t value the lives of her hostages.

But at least in the current situation with hostages, it was right that he had the upper hand.

“Don’t worry too much. The people of the night don’t lie easily.”

“..If you don’t release him safely, I’ll search the entire midfield and kill you.”

‘The more I say that, the more I feel like I’m handing over information…’

For the hostage-holding side, the more the opponent reacted, the better.

It was like proving that the hostage was worth it.

‘Two more minutes…’

The magic circle drawn on the floor was radiating light and exuding energy.

* * *

‘Fuck-fuck-fuck.’

What the hell is this really about?

“Don’t worry too much. The people of the night don’t lie easily.”

“..If you don’t release him safely, I’ll search the entire midfield and kill you.”

A bloody dagger thrust into my throat from behind and a vampire and Shin Sozer were fighting.

‘I’m just on a trip?!’

I just came to Anhui for a trip, so what the hell did I get involved in?

The fact that I might die like this sent chills down my spine.

No matter how much I live every day without regret, that doesn’t mean it’s okay to die.

There are many things I want to do in my future life.

‘Uh, what should I do?’

But right now I don’t know how to get out of it.

The difference in power is also obvious, and above all, a knife is already in my throat.

Even if I tried to resist, the chances of me escaping were close to zero.

‘Then I have to die like this..?’

Sojeo Shin and the kidnapper (?) Were still in a confrontation, but I know.

It’s extremely rare for a hostage to actually survive in a situation like this.

-Uuuuu

An ominous sound came from under my feet.

It was difficult to see properly because of the knife on his neck, but the fantasy-like magic circle that you only see in games emits an ominous sound and emits light.

I didn’t know it, but I knew that this magic circle would never work well for me.

In this situation, the kidnapping law wouldn’t be shining on the floor to have a party.

‘This goddamn sky bastard doesn’t usually show me my future even if he dies like that, but he didn’t show it to let me go like this.’

– Ugh..

‘His personality is also completely blocked, he makes his head hurt every time he sees fortune telling, and he was even grabbed by the collar for discriminating against people, but he couldn’t see any sign of fixing his twisted personality, so he got twisted all the way to the end and killed him like this. What is this?’

– Rumble

‘Leaking heavenly secrets and all, always giving out strangely, depending on how I feel, without exact criteria. If I think of the hardships I suffered because of you, even if I die, I’m cursed..’

–Rumble..!!

At that moment, there was a loud sound that could be heard from deep underground.

“What, what?”

“…Is this sound…?”

The noise was so loud that even the vampires and god sozers were embarrassed.

I’m very used to this sound.

From head to toe, it started to get chilly, as if cold water had been poured on it.

And by the time the cold sensation engulfed the whole body

‘..Shield!’

The rosary I put in my bosom worked and a translucent film formed over my body.

“This bastard dares to do tricks…!”

The moment the dagger that the vampire had brought to his neck ignored the shield and tried to stab his throat

-Kwajijijijik—!!!

His vision was colored with blue lightning.

“Quaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!”

The last thing I felt before passing out was the vampire’s screams of pain and

“Yooseong!!!”

Shin So-jeo, calling my name that I had never said before, came this way.

– Woo woo woo!!!

A magic circle that emits tremendous light.

And

-With a plop!

It was the sensation of cold water that wrapped around my whole body.

* * *

-At this time in Shanseo-

“Huh~ Heung~”

– Bubbling

Dang Ah-yong poured the herbs into the bottle, which was making ominous noises as she hummed.

It could be seen as a good posture to study her own poison, like the late Jisoo of the Sacheondangga.

[(2x) (3x) (5x) (7x) (10x)]

If you knew the meaning of the phrase written on the box next to her, you wouldn’t be able to open your mouth easily.

In addition, phrases of unknown words such as awakening, recovery, persistence, aphrodisiac, and hypnosis were written on the surrounding weakness.

[Danger] [Danger] [Handle with care] [Danger of collapse]

One egg with all sorts of warning phrases written on it had a rather eerie word engraved on it.

“Hey, lady… Are you going to use that too?”

“Yes? Oh, that one? Why are you using that one? I just made it because it was in a book.”

“Then just throw it away…”

“Isn’t the material wasteful? I just leave it there. There’s no way I could use something like that for someone who believes in me, right?”

‘…I don’t know what he did, but please don’t betray me.’

Even for her man, she prayed like that.
