RUST -838

The count’s eyes were filled with astonishment.

A new ability. The ability to control blood and explode the life force contained in it was erased before my eyes.

“Blood… blood is dead…?”

Blood is dead?

The blood itself is dead?

How on earth?

I couldn’t believe it.

I can’t believe something like that is possible.

yes···.

You bastard.

Dare.

The right arm that had burst like a bomb swelled up again in an instant. The right arm that had risen like a long water balloon burst again.

The right arm exploded like a claymore. The energy felt from the flesh and condensed blood was instantly erased, and this phenomenon was repeated.

You…

What the hell are you?

The count, who had been so proud, was stepping back without realizing it. Many thoughts were floating around in his head. Confusing information. Memories that had been buried began to surface again.

‘That can’t be true.’

What Joseph Meyer said was a delusion.

It had to be a delusion.

‘I am the king.’

‘I will be king.’

‘I am the king!’

The pinnacle of all new species.

It was him.

A being that deals with life.

A being that handles blood.

Blood is life.

The pinnacle of life and regeneration, the symbol of the new humanity, had to be only oneself.

“You are a fake!”

(Kill that fake!)

He who had retreated stepped forward again. His followers, who had received the momentum, rushed forward like a tidal wave, forming a meat shield.

Some of the Imperial Army’s rapid-fire units, tainted by the power of dominance, rushed towards the floor. And those who were turned into organic fertilizer.

Uda dadada— He froze in his charging stance and then transformed into an organic compound.

The count’s steps took a step back again as he saw the stiff, trembling, convulsive state starting from the tips of his limbs.

(Gather! Everyone gather!)

(Kill it. Kill it!)

(Don’t come near me!)

(Shoot the gun! Shoot from afar!)

It was too late for the Meat Shields to aim their 20mm Vulcan cannons. Those who were swallowed up by the realm of death were swallowed up by Maru taking just a few steps.

Khuuuuuk!

Ugh!

The groan of exhalation turned into the sound of life leaving.

The Count’s legs, which had been hesitating to step back, changed into steps that he was running away from without realizing it.

‘You can become stronger in the future.’

‘I can reach the top.’

More life. More blood was needed.

If only I could absorb things that have a stronger life force…

‘I can beat that monster.’

What was needed now was good blood, vibrant life.

The count’s gaze turned to Naruz, who had run away far away.

That was the distinct energy felt there.

The reason the monster stopped him earlier was obviously to prevent him from becoming stronger.

‘Let’s make them suffer together.’

If I let the Imperial Army and the monsters fight each other and absorb the energetic crazy bitch in the meantime? It seemed like I could overcome the seemingly insurmountable wall.

‘We can overcome this. If we just absorb those bitches.’

The Count’s footsteps, which had been running away with their tails pulled out, penetrated the imperial army formation that was taking a breather.

Maru’s eyes furrowed at the sight of the vampire’s arms growing out like a lizard’s tail in an instant.

‘If you split it in half, doesn’t it split into two?’

It was a vampire whose regenerative powers and atmosphere had completely changed since I saw it a few hours ago. The warning that made my heart flutter when I saw it in the video wasn’t just something that happened.

Fortunately, the blood bombs he uses can be erased by the life force. Even if the life force is pierced, it will be blocked by the stealth suit and the vampiric suit.

Wow! Wow!

Dieeeeeeeee!

You little vampire bastard, all you had to do was keep feeding it to Nuclipse. It was tricky, but you could capture it alive and use it as food for Nuclipse.

Kill me! Kill me!

Kill me!

The problem was the Imperial soldiers who were running towards us unconscious.

Tsk-

If you wipe it out with a new clip, it will show up as a massacre scene on the tactical camera. But if you decide to live, your abilities will be officially revealed.

The topic that Kim Yang and Hood had a heated debate about. It was the floor that brought up the argument that none of their information should be released.

‘The Imperial Army whose minds have been polluted by the power of dominance.’

There’s nothing I can do.

The life force that had taken over the space like a vine began to move in response to Maru’s will. The tentacles of death wrapped themselves around the imperial army that had lost their senses.

Maru’s frowning eyes showed the movements of the vampires that were running away from the imperial army formation, slowly moving towards the outskirts.

He was a vampire who wanted to control the Imperial Army by expanding the area of ​​influence as much as possible. Even though his purpose was so obvious, the Imperial Army’s response was lukewarm.

The retarded imperial army still thinks they can capture the vampire. Or they want to catch the vampire with their own hands and make up for their losses so far. In the midst of all this, they are keeping Maru in check.

“Send me what I’ve taken so far right now.”

[Video of the engagement has been sent so far.]

The assistant AI uploaded the footage taken by the crow and drone onto the HUD. The image of the vampires circling the outskirts of the Imperial formation, mind-polluting the Imperial troops, sending the corrupted Imperial troops this way and retreating to the side came to mind.

‘This side···.’

The direction he was going was where Naruz had retreated. He was the same way before, and he was still persistently targeting Naruz.

Thump-

Thump-thump-

A small warning pulse.

‘That won’t work.’

Touched.

The realm of death has expanded as if time has accelerated. Whereas death used to spread out like two-dimensional concentric circles, now the space of death has expanded into three dimensions.

The vines of death that wrap around like tentacles. The garden of death begins to encroach on the space. An illusory space that is not captured by cameras or sensors, but only visible to human eyes.

The Imperial Army, who had fallen into the Garden of Death, regained consciousness at the last moment. The energy that killed even the vampires’ dominance granted the Imperial Army eternal rest.

I want to live.

Save me.

no.

Uh- Mom-

What flows in the eyes of the imperial soldiers who have already entered the garden of death is nothing more than the regret of the dead.

Just as the waves that surge in disappear leaving only foam behind, the lives of the imperial army that had fallen under the control of the vampires sank like foam.

‧

Naruz, who had retreated after being injected with a stimulant as ordered by Maru, gathered around to watch.

[Oraburning!]

[Gyaaaah!]

As expected, it’s Oraburning.

It was just light.

Ah- is it death?

In any case, it was truly amazing to see the Imperial Army, heavily armed with exosuits, being turned into fertilizer.

[Did you see it?]

[Yeah. I saw it clearly.]

What all of Naruzu witnessed was the Garden of Death. A fantasy garden filled with vines unfolding around Oraburning.

[It wasn’t caught on camera.]

[Not even detected by the sensor.]

But clearly everyone saw it.

Is it a fantasy?

Did everyone see the same illusion?

Psychic abilities?

[Gyaaaaaaah!]

[It’s ability!]

[It’s the King’s unique ability!]

[As expected. Oraburning!]

The sounds of dolphins and pterosaurs erupted between the Naruz.

The King’s murderous intent had now gone beyond the stage where it could be expressed simply as murderous intent. This was because it was not a murderous intent that would just disappear after a single moment, but a murderous intent that encroached upon space.

Each and every thread of life force, woven together by death, seemed to be entangling the enemy like living vines. Even though the Imperial Army was wearing helmets to protect against the psychic world, it was impossible to withstand the stylized life force.

[Oh. That one falls backwards.]

[You little punk.]

[What should I do?]

That vampire was strange. Not only was his wounds healed in real time, but he also caused blasts of blood with his own body.

[It’s spinning.]

[Imperial Army. You idiots.]

[You’re sending all the imperial troops that ruled over there to the king?]

[Don’t you know that there is a death garden?]

[Even though the King has moved, the residual thoughts remain and do not disappear.]

[Awesome. Awesome.]

The imperial army is crippled.

Vampires are stupid.

The only great being is Oraburning!

[Huh? It looks like it’s coming towards us?]

[Ignoring the King and coming to us?]

[To avoid the oraburning and catch us?]

Naruzu’s pride was hurt when he saw the vampire moving openly.

Naruz, the mutant catcher.

Naruz, who was active on the northern front in Canada.

Are you ignoring us, who have been hardened in so many battles on the Canadian side?

[Shoot!]

[Make a wish!]

[With cotton.]

[It’s from 6 o’clock to 7 o’clock!]

[I confirmed it.]

Naruz began to shoot at the vampire. The vampire seemed annoyed by the fierce attack, and moved in long curves while taking hits with its body and regenerating.

[81mm mortar heat dissipation complete!]

[Distance 820m]

[Can you use a small nuke?]

[It is possible if the explosive power is reduced.]

[End of scope minimization!]

[Explosive power reduced to 200m~220m radius!]

[firing!]

A mortar shell containing a cute nuke fell towards the vampire, but the vampire dodged it in an instant and increased its speed again.

At that moment, a small fireball rose behind the vampire’s back.

One, two, three, four···.

A small ball-sized sun rose for a moment, then four overlapping explosions lit up four delicate pine mushrooms.

The hot flames and heat, incongruous with the slender, light-colored mushrooms, burned the vampire’s back.

Kkaaaak!

A vampire exposed to the life-sucking flames screamed in agony.

[Did you catch it?]

[Ah- You reduced the blast radius too much.]

The vampire was moving too fast for me to kill him, but I had tied his legs, so that was enough.

[Shoot again!]

[firing!]

Pong-pong-hug-pong-

Phooooooong!

In that brief moment, the burned-out back and the vampire with his whole body restored ran away.

It was in the direction of the Imperial Army.

A cute mushroom cloud, blowing away all the dust, rose up lonely.

The footage passed around by the commander of the Imperial Army’s Rapid Response Force was of soldiers whose minds had been corrupted by the vampire’s dominance attacking Vladimir Kalin.

“Pause.”

The sight of soldiers frozen in place, unable to even approach Vladimir Kalin.

“It seems like a paralyzing ability.”

“It’s not a normal psychic ability.”

“Is it telekinesis?”

“If it is true that he was able to control that many numbers with his telekinesis, then he must be considered a special-level power user.”

He’s not a disaster, he’s a terminal-level ability user. A guy who founded a country with just one swing of a sword has terminal-level abilities? Even if the balance is disturbed, there’s a limit.

Anyway, it seemed like he knew the secret of how to get to the center of the ant empire and detonate a hydrogen bomb. It was enough to render the mobile force armed with exosuits immobile.

“I was just overcome by the power, so hold on for a moment…”

Just as the soldiers were about to ask him to hold them back from convulsing, their vital signs began to go out.

beep—

beep——-

Beep—

The soldiers who rushed towards Vladimir Kalin had their vital signs cut off simultaneously.

“Fuck!!!”

“Oh my···.”

“What the bloody Hell···.”

“Stop!”

“Tell him to stop!”

“Imperial soldiers are dying!”

Before he could say anything, all his vital signs went flat.

Beep———–eeeeeeee

The commander of the Rapid Deployment Forces seemed to be going crazy.

“The number of deaths alone is over 400.”

Even with the reserve force, the casualty rate was over 30%. According to modern warfare doctrine, the rapid response force should have been completely destroyed.

Where did it go wrong?

There were no problems until we cornered a high-ranking noble vampire.

The EMP (electromagnetic pulse) bullet that was always armed for emergencies was stolen by a vampire?

Did the EMP explosion blow up the mental and dominance response device, and I fell for the vampire’s trick?

If you look at it that way, whose responsibility is it?

It was his responsibility to ensure that he could catch the high-ranking vampire.

Even if the soldiers killed by the high-ranking vampire died while hunting the vampire, who is responsible for the soldiers who died while running towards Vladimir Kalin under his dominance?

Vladimir Kalin had the ability. The ability to subdue soldiers without killing them. But did he kill them like that?

“I’m not sure.”

“What’s not certain? Watch the video. He could have taken down that many people in one breath. Can’t you see that he crushed them with his psychic powers?”

It all had to end with the mass murder of Vladimir Kalin. That was the case, and that was the outcome.

A booming explosion echoed through the floor of the command vehicle.

“It’s a powerful explosion.”

“The radiation levels have changed slightly, and it has been confirmed that an EMP has occurred.

“Is it a micro-nuclear?”

“The probability is more than 98%.”

The commander did not hide the anger in his voice.

“The Imperial Army is nearby, and they use nukes without warning? No matter how small the nukes are, that’s still true. Have you seen what the Holy Kingdom is doing right now? That’s the kind of people the Holy Kingdom is. Don’t forget what happened.”

“ancient.”

“Report the current situation to His Excellency the President.”

“All right.”

[It’s a vampire. The vampire is coming back this way!]

[Vladimir Kalin. Move.]

[The direction the vampire is moving.]

It was a vampire that was aiming for Naruzu, but was half-baked by a cute nuke, and then ran away to where the imperial army was. Judging by the speed of the stance change, it seemed like the butt was burning.

I was planning to capture him to get information on other vampires and use him to disband the Free Canadian League, but he was more dangerous than I thought.

‘Your senses are warning you, you know.’

Maru, who had decided to dispose of the vampire, rushed at him with his characteristic swiftness.

“Kill him! Stop him!”

A few Imperial soldiers, vaguely positioned, were infected with the vampire’s dominance and rushed towards the floor.

‘This fucking-‘

What the hell is this idiot commander doing here?

You stupid kid. If you knew you couldn’t catch vampires, shouldn’t you have withdrawn your troops a long time ago?

Phew!

The sight of a vampire covering the Imperial Army rushing towards the floor with his own blood. The blood on the Imperial Army began to swell like a balloon.

What the fuck.

Black vines blooming in profusion.

As the Garden of Death unfolded, the blood bombs that had swelled up while hosting the Imperial Army shrank.

puck-

dump-

The vampire took advantage of the brief gap in time to enter the red mud he had created, perhaps using the Imperial Army as bait.

Gulp gurgle

The vampire’s body slowly swelled as it began to suck out the life that was melting in the mud. As expected of a vampire, its sharp appearance grew like a steamed bun and began to suck out blood.

Haaa …

The vampire shouted in a voice unable to contain his overflowing power.

“Kill me!!!”

And from that swamp, the vines of death began to sprout. In an instant, the vast swamp was transformed into death.

A sight of life turning into death.

“This. This. This can’t be happening!”

Death bloomed inside the vampire as it grew larger, mixed with the life it had sucked in. The vines of death spread throughout its body in an instant.

Maru slowly approached him and held out his new clip.

[Eat!]

Up to the head.

Newclips fluttered at Maru’s permission.

“Ah. No···.”
