Episode 470 Defect (4)

The vitality of the night’s nobles is enormous.

Parts of the body, such as the heart or brain, may burst in an instant with no chance of recovery.

Or, if it doesn’t lower the recovery power with a power like divine power.

It was not easy to exterminate them.

Just look at my recovery power, which is less than half vampire-ized.

I could see how great the power they had as a species was.

however.

“Recovery… seems like it’ll be a little difficult.”

Ariella, who was said to have gained great power among the nobles.

I was talking over there.

“You guys… … aren’t you supposed to die easily from something like this?”

“That’s how it was originally. But… … .”

She said with a bitter smile.

“They say natural enemies aren’t natural enemies for nothing, you know… … .”

Even the divine power I used when hunting Ariella only weakened the power of the nobles and delayed the recovery of wounds from divine attacks.

However, the sun is their real natural enemy.

Ariella, despite the fact that her followers blocked most of the light.

That brief moment of direct exposure to the sun.

The damage was enormous in just that short period of time.

“Then. Blood. Why don’t you just bring me blood?”

These guys’ resilience comes from their blood.

If you bring me good blood, I might be able to recover my lost strength.

but.

“If I were to satisfy myself right now… … it would be impossible to be that tired.”

“… … .”

The problem was that Ariella’s level had gone up too much.

If the blood quality needed to recover her when she fought me in the past was around 1, it would be hundreds now.

and.

I could feel it, even though I was half a vampire.

‘The blood of those monsters roaming outside… is not of high quality.’

These guys were originally created by that doctor for experimental purposes.

There was no way it contained high-quality blood that could satisfy Ariella.

The other clans also lost much of their power after being hit directly by the sun.

The blood of the retinue won’t be of much help either.

“……then!”

I picked up the kitchen knife I was holding in my hand.

He said, holding it to my wrist.

“What if it’s my blood?”

“… … .”

“Where else can you find blood of this quality?”

To my words:

A slight heat appeared on her face, which had been growing pale and cold.

“That is… … an attractive offer… … .”

In that regard.

I moved the knife without hesitation, trying to cut the blood vessel on his wrist.

“but.”

Bam.

“I will reject it as well.”

“what?”

She said, suppressing her rising appetite.

“As you know, Master, I am bound by the oath of subordination and am bound to place your safety and orders above all else.”

“so?”

“To recover from your fatigue… … you will probably have to drink quite a lot. Then your condition will get much worse… … .”

She turned her head.

I looked out at the giant monster fighting outside.

“It would also decrease the chances of my master escaping from that hideous monstrosity. I… … cannot make that choice.”

“What if I force feed it?”

Swoosh.

Part of her torso turned into fog.

The organs inside are revealed.

Thump, thump… … .

An organ that is beating its pulse.

A heart that doesn’t seem much different from a human’s…

“If a situation arises where your life is in danger while you are trying to save me.”

she is.

He put his fingernails over that heart.

“Taking your own life is the only way to save your master… … You’ll probably make that decision, right?”

“… … .”

When I heard that,

I had no choice but to make a decision, even though I was frowning.

‘Let’s retreat for now.’

There’s no way we can lose Ariella here.

I sighed and put my hand into the shadow beneath my feet.

After putting her in the [Shadow Curtain].

I was thinking of getting away from here… … .

“……uh?”

What I felt at my fingertips.

Not that weird, tactile sensation you get when you put your hand inside that curtain.

The feel of hard ground.

‘The curtain… is not activated?’

Shadow Veil is Ariella’s ability, not mine.

I simply moved the other world that was originally in her shadow under my shadow.

And the past.

When I first engaged Ariella.

She and I fought in a veil of shadows.

And the battle was over.

[All magic power needed to maintain the shadow curtain has been consumed.]

[Shadow Curtain is canceled.]

Ariella’s powers are too weak.

There were times when we couldn’t even maintain the curtain.

“… … .”

Just like right now.

‘Let’s calm down. Think calmly.’

It is impossible for Ariella to heal her wounds on her own.

Even if you try to recover by feeding it blood.

It’s hard to find good quality blood from all the monsters gathered there.

If you feed it a large amount of my blood, it might be able to recover.

Ariella will avoid making that choice even if it means taking her own life, because making that choice would put her life in danger.

Even if you try to leave the battlefield.

If you can’t use the curtain, it’s impossible to run away with her.

and.

What these facts point to is… …only one thing.

“… … Wait, wait a minute.”

Even though I clearly realize that one conclusion.

He said, gritting his teeth and shaking his head.

“There are other ways to heal you, even without blood.”

“… … .”

“I haven’t tried it yet because I’m not feeling well, and it’ll probably take a while, but maybe I can do it… … .”

“Master.”

but.

Ariella looked at me like that.

“Go.”

“… … .”

Something I couldn’t even bring myself to say.

He spouted out that one conclusion.

* * *

“If it’s that rude knight fighting outside… … I can buy you enough time to escape somehow. While the author is buying time… … you have to run as far away as possible.”

“Then you.”

“I… … Well, I guess I should try to survive somehow, right?”

It’s an effort.

Outside, Ariella’s followers were still being hunted one by one by the doctor’s test subjects.

The doctor was holding on to Mountain, but the odds were overwhelmingly against him.

No matter how hard you try.

The outcome she would face was predetermined.

‘… … was complacent.’

I shouldn’t have come to Seoul, where hell is unfolding, so lightly.

I shouldn’t have trusted that doctor so easily.

actually.

There would have been no reason to have complacent thoughts in this Seoul.

I wouldn’t have trusted that doctor so easily.

Even so, the reason why I made this mistake is.

‘That doctor… … looked a lot like me.’

The more we share our stories,

There was a lot I could relate to about the guy.

There were a lot of similarities between us.

And above all.

‘You were more honest with me than anyone else.’

Even.

Even in this situation where we have turned into enemies.

He was always honest with me.

‘under.’

That’s why I believed.

That wasn’t right.

‘How long has it been since I spoke confidently to my godmother?’

A bitter smile forms inside.

She said that she would come back to me when I had a moment of great regret.

How long has it been since I heard that?

I can’t believe something like this happened again.

‘Did I say that the path I take would be filled with only regret and pain?’

It is not for nothing that he is called a god of regret.

Her prediction was spot-on.

“……after.”

And then, I thought about it for a moment.

He quickly got up and said.

“Then just wait here for a moment.”

“……yes?”

I moved my body, holding the kitchen knife.

Ariella asked me with wide eyes.

“Wait. What the… …?”

“This won’t work, that won’t work. I understand it all. But there is one way.”

I looked out the broken window.

“After all, isn’t it true that you can recover as long as you have good blood?”

Most fusion blood is of low quality.

I can’t feed you my blood.

“Well then, the answer is already set.”

I chuckled.

I looked at the cause of the earthquake that is still reverberating today.

A being that is exercising one-sided violence against the mountain.

The most powerful monster on this battlefield.

“I’ll get that bastard’s blood for you.”

“… …Master!”

If it’s a doctor’s blood.

I might be able to revive this guy.

“You just have to go!”

A hand grabbing my ankle.

Ariella was holding my ankle with her one remaining hand and telling me to run away.

But, whatever.

“Nothing to say.”

I shook off that weak hand.

He said, looking outside.

“I won’t leave my men behind.”

As the godmother warned.

I’ve already found myself in such a painful situation.

But, I.

“… … I’m not a member of the unit, am I?”

“Ha, what are you talking about?”

Here.

I had no intention of doing anything I would regret anymore.

“I told you last time, you and your followers are… …my personal guard who protects me most closely.”

“… … .”

“Who will protect me without you?”

To my words:

Ariella said, biting her lips tightly.

“Isn’t that woman and her followers there?”

“what?”

“The followers who follow the master.”

At the words that came out of her mouth.

I couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

The woman and her followers.

in other words.

Jeong Su-ah and her unit members who volunteered to become my personal guard.

“Make them your new guard.”

them.

Because it was a recommendation for his successor.

* * *

Make Jeong Su-ah and her men your new personal guard.

At those words, I answered with my eyes wide open.

“Were you so wary when those guys were coveting the positions in the Royal Guard?”

“Shouldn’t you think about the reason for your caution…?”

He tried to make excuses like he had never been on guard before.

It seems like she doesn’t have that kind of time these days.

“What that mongrel said wasn’t entirely wrong.”

“… … .”

“I certainly have flaws.”

He continued speaking calmly.

“My children and I… … are, after all, inhabitants of the night.”

I mean that.

I thought you were talking about the weakness of those guys being only active at night.

“Whether it’s day or night… … I’m in a position where I can never go into the sun.”

but.

That wasn’t all he wanted to say.

“Because to my master and his people, I am ultimately nothing more than a monster.”

In that regard.

Only then did I realize what she was trying to say.

“This is not the territory of the nobles… … We are those who are called monsters by the master’s race.”

She is a monster.

If it were just a monster, there would be at least some compromise.

Countless humans.

They even have a record of massacring their own soldiers.

“Actually… … this isn’t just a story from this land.”

That’s why.

There was a lot of resistance to accepting her.

“In my hometown too… … .”

And after that.

Except for a few officers, the existence of vampires was kept secret from the unit members.

“The nobles were considered to be shadowy beings.”

Me too.

The power of the legion and the power of the subordinates were perceived as completely separate entities.

but.

“Those people are different, aren’t they?”

“… … .”

“You have been expanding your influence in the Yangji area very steadily… … and your loyalty to your master seems clear.”

Ariella and her followers are strong.

Why was she, with that much power, wary of Jeong Su-ah and her group?

At first, I couldn’t help but have doubts.

“The guards… …are those who assist the legion commander from the closest location.”

But now.

I could see why.

“I was able to occupy this position by only showing off my military power… … .”

at last.

The nobles of the night are those who belong to the night… …the shadows.

“I already knew that I wasn’t qualified for anything else.”

With our unit belonging to the sunny side.

Because they were beings that could never be fused together.

“My power may seem great now, but… … that was only because I was lucky and had many environments where I could exert my power. If I were to be exposed to the sun like this… … even my power would become insignificant.”

“… … .”

“Whatever force you lack… … that rude knight can make up for it to some extent… … Leave the force to that knight and the assistance to that woman.”

I clenched my teeth.

I listened to her words indifferently.

“Handling the power of a monster… … For the leader of an organization that seeks to save people like the Legion… … Isn’t that a dangerous weakness? Right now, the Master… … is distancing himself from other qualified individuals because of that weakness.”

One of the biggest reasons I rejected the SS proposal.

The problem was that having other unit members by her side would limit the use of Ariella and her followers’ powers.

“I didn’t want to give up this role because of my greed… … but in fact, isn’t it obvious which side is right?”

“… … .”

“Get rid of these dangerous elements… … and surround yourself with more suitable people.”

In that regard.

I clench my teeth.

I wanted to refute her words, but… … .

“Bullshit… …!”

“They are more suitable.”

At that moment.

There was a voice that spoke before I could speak.

“Thank you for thinking that way.”

“… … ?”

“That’s certainly not wrong. Rather, I think it’s a hundred percent right.”

A voice coming from behind.

Let’s turn our heads there.

“But… … just because there’s something better, isn’t there a need to throw away something less good?”

What’s there is.

“The personnel to assist the benefactor.”

“you…….”

I thought he had already left the battlefield a long time ago.

“The more, the better.”

“Why, here… … ?”

It was Jeong Su-ah and her unit members.
