244. I want to reconcile. (3)
The owner of the Bathory family, Mother Bathory.
Her real name was Erzebet Bathory.
Currently, she was a warlock powerful enough to have an antagonistic relationship with a human flesh cook based on blood magic, but she was not originally a warlock.
Hard to believe, but a true fact.
Erzebet Bathory was originally a wizard.
It is also not just a wizard, but the successor of a wizard family with its own veins in the center of the continent.
Although her family was not famous due to the geopolitical nature of the center of the continent and the catastrophic existence of the Piper,
Apart from their low reputation, the Bathory family could be said to be a family with a very pioneering vision even today.
He recognized the connection between magic and black magic, which they had never considered as separate and never discussed together, and realized before anyone else the enormous achievements that would be achieved by conquering this connection.
Although, in the process, the image of the family, such as collecting and researching black magic knowledge, deteriorated, their research clearly went in a good direction.
If her family had been successful in their research and continued their research, they might have left a mark in history, and maybe they would have enjoyed a new era of glory by moving to ‘Gallos’ or ‘Landa’.
But that didn’t happen.
Because of the human flesh cook and Bathory who loved such a human flesh cook.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No one knows exactly how the human meat chef approached him, and how Bathory came to love the human meat chef, except for the person involved.One thing is certain: Bathory loved the human flesh chef so much that he was deceived, and as a result, he and his family fell into disgrace.
The real party, Bathory, survived.
So Bathory vowed not to forget.
The anger I felt then.
The humiliation I felt then.
The sadness I felt then.
At that time, I felt betrayed.
Bathory miraculously revived his dying body using some of the knowledge of the family he had barely protected.
And dreaming of only revenge, he abandoned his status as a wizard and survived in the afterlife.
Even abandoning the human way and trading with the devil.
It was a very lonely and harsh time, but Bathory was never afraid. Since I decided to take revenge, I had nothing to fear.
…and obviously it was. There was nothing to fear. However, at this moment, Bathory remembered the long-forgotten fear.
“Everyone, don’t come near me!!”
Batori, whose four limbs were severed, cried out, crawling like a worm.
It was ugly, but in the face of the fear of death, it was a meaningless story.
I tried to reattach the limbs, but it didn’t stick.
The sword Dave wielded did not allow any regeneration or recovery, as if a curse had been placed on it.
I tried to analyze the cause, but couldn’t find anything.
Except for one.
‘As long as he lives, he will never recover.’
In such a panic, Bathory looked up at Dave.
A young kid in his twenties, who has just made a name for himself.
“Batori. After cutting the limbs… What?”
Bathory felt terrified at the sight, and then experienced a great sense of humiliation.
It was as if his tragic past and his anger, hatred, and efforts were all denied.
Therefore, Bathory tried to suppress the fear and kill the being in front of him. To prove your life.
“Kaah!! die!!”
Although his limbs were severed, he was still able to control his blood.
In response to Bathory’s will, the blood around him moved and gathered into one huge blade and flew to Dave, who raised the black sword in his hand to deal with it.
As if he had never handled a sword, he just stood there and swung it, but surprisingly, he drew a beautiful trajectory and cut the blade of blood lightly.
so lightly.
“·················ogue.”
A blade of blood that crumbles helplessly.
Seeing that scene, Bathory couldn’t say anything.
Because it was so unrealistic.
The fact that the blood magic that he had studied all his life could be neutralized with just a handful of emotions and a shabby sword with the mage’s very subtle ‘irritability’.
This wasn’t right. It was so absurd.
“Batori?”
Dave called her back, and Bathory looked up at him.
Perhaps because of fear, his shape was distorted, and he appeared to be something resembling a human.
“After cutting off the limb…. What?”
“Uhhhh!!!”
Driven by fear, Bathory screamed, and blood reacted to this, and the colonel’s blood poured out through the cracks in the ceiling and walls, attacking Dave.
Dozens of blades and spears, bullets, bombs, fire, cold, lightning, and poison.
Dave used only his shoulders, elbows, and wrists to swing the sword lightly each time, and each time the blood attack was futilely neutralized.
Blades shattered, spears shattered, bullets and bombs disintegrated, and flames, colds, lightning, and poisons were silenced.
could not admit I couldn’t quite admit it. Isn’t this too unreasonable? Isn’t it just such a common and missing category of genius?
In the overwhelming absurdity that appeared in front of him, Bathory squeezed his last strength and summoned a ‘blood balloon’ using the little blood.
A creature of his own that keeps a large amount of blood fresh.
The blood balloon, which looked like a giant boil, trembled and popped! and burst, and at the same time, a large amount of blood was poured out.
👌👌👌👌👌 🤩!!
Bathory repeated the above actions several times by summoning the ‘blood balloon’ again through the blood.
In that way, he summoned a level of blood that would fill the space.
At this size, it might be possible to dodge that sword and give an effective blow…
“·····uh?”
Bathory shouted with a stupid expression on her face.
Obviously, he made spears from all sides and tried to pierce the enemy in front of him and kill him, but the blood did not respond and was silent.
‘Nope·······. It’s not that I don’t react… It’s stolen!’
Bathory looked up at Dave from the still sea of blood.
A small drop of blood was moving in Dave’s hand.
“It’s moving like this.”
Seeing the small but delicately moving drops of blood, Bathory was at a loss for words again.
Something so shocking happened one after another that the brain couldn’t handle it.
“how····?”
“Yes? oh····. My blood was also mixed.”
Dave showed the blood flowing through his wounds.
“So, I did it just in case… Is it okay?”
Dave moving his fingers. Between Bathory and Dave, a road split like the Red Sea.
Dave is approaching. No, Bathory stared blankly at the unknown existence and took a deep breath.
The feelings of anger, humiliation, sadness, and betrayal that I swore I would never forget in an overwhelming sense of fear gradually faded away, and only the desire to survive from the existence before me dominated my head.
“Reconciliation, reconciliation—”
ㅡ ㅔ.
Dave swung his arm, and Bathory’s gaze suddenly tilted to the side and rolled over to the side.
With him, his gaze lowered, and Bathory could see his own body.
A body without a head.

“·········Well.”
About ten seconds after Batory’s decapitation, Oliver made a hoarse voice, scratching his chin.
After I cut it, I felt a little regret.
Hang on, come to think of it, there are so many things I could ask.
Blood magic, human flesh cooks, or the School of Life…
“Or you could ask about the apocalypse… Hmmm…”
Oliver sighed again. Why didn’t I think of this… I felt so stupid for myself.
I didn’t have to do it until the last attack…
But it’s already past. Oliver put off regret for a while and decided to do what he could now.
Oliver looked around first. To find the missing quarterstaff.
Fortunately, the Quarter Staff was nearby, and as soon as Oliver retrieved the Quarter Staff, he extracted emotions and magical powers from the large amount of blood pooled on the floor, then used the pool of blood to climb up the lab.
The upstairs was the secret lab he had first gone through through the pool of blood, and Oliver opened the magic bag on his waist and pulled out a large leather case.
With the leather case holding the Big Mouse, Oliver took the Big Mouse that had been folded and placed it on the floor.
Big Mouse looked at Oliver, swelling like bread dough, fluttering several eyes, and making a toad-like noise.
“Kuruk? gurgling?”
“It’s not a new house, it’s just a business trip. I don’t have time, can I ask you to do something right away?”
This time, he had a lot of work to do, so Oliver pulled out a 100,000 Randa note from his wallet.
Big Mouse, who rarely sees such large bills, nodded with joy.
Big Mouse, who ate 100,000 randa tickets, devoured every corpse in the secret laboratory under Oliver’s instructions.
A female warlock from the Batori family with a smashed head, a modified human-C03 with a cow’s head, and several other test subjects.
There were fewer than ten female warlocks available, and the number of specimens from the School of Life was only about a dozen, so it took less time than expected.
It was as if only useless test subjects were left behind.
“But you have to take it first.”
Oliver continued to take things with the thought that it was a dream come true.
About the time I had taken it for a while, Big Mouse stopped and spoke to Oliver.
“Kururu……. gurgle. Kuruk.”
My stomach is full and I can’t swallow much anymore, said Big Mouse.
Oliver was a little surprised to hear that Big Mouse was full, but it wasn’t too strange when he thought about it.
Since the early days of work as a solver until now, whenever there is a loot, I have Big Mouse swallow it, so the accumulated amount must be considerable.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
No matter how big the Big Mouse was and the capacity it could swallow compared to its size, it was not infinite.Oliver pondered the question.
“Can you swallow ten more bottles of this size and one more corpse?”
“Course, gurgle….”
Big Mouse ponders as if it’s hard. Oliver persuaded.
“I’ll give you another 100,000 randa ticket.”
“Kuruk!”
Big Mouse readily agreed.
***
Whoops!
Oliver brought Big Mouse down to the lowest level of the Chimera Lab using a pool of blood.
After wiping off the blood flowing down his face, Oliver used his magical power to float the bag in the air, opened the flask’s lid, and filled it with Bathory’s blood.
Blood filled in an instant.
Big Mouse swallowed the round flasks filled with blood, as ordered in advance, and then vomited something.
It was none other than a gigantic hammer wrapped in bandages, which was captured after fighting with the students of a past human flesh cook.
Oliver untied the bandages around the hammer, revealing a hammer with crimson flesh based on white bones.
After coming out after a long time, the bright crimson hammer seemed to be in a good mood, and at the same time, earthworm-like lips sprouted here and there.
mandible. mandible. mandible. mandible. mandible. mandible. mandible. mandible. mandible. mandible. mandible. mandible. mandible. mandible. mandible. mandible. mandible. mandible. mandible. mandible. mandible.
Hammer opened his protruding lips and devoured the smell of blood, revealing his desire to drink.
I couldn’t speak, but I felt it in my hand holding the hammer.
“Do you want to drink?”
A crimson hammer that replies with a sluggish response. Oliver whispered.
“I’ll make you eat it. Can you please grant me a favor later?”
Crimson Hammer willingly agrees.
Oliver just threw the hammer into the sea of blood, and the crimson hammer drank like a wanderer who found an oasis in the desert.
endlessly.
The sea of blood that filled the floor slowly but slowly dwindled, and Oliver was also able to find the body of Bathory with the four limbs and the head separated.
“Oh, you should take care of this one too.”
Oliver said so and called Big Mouse.
