7. Jealousy is my strength (48)
One step, two steps.
I tried several times after that, but the result was the same. No matter how much I moved, the distance between me and the vampire did not decrease.
Around that time, a voice suddenly passed through my mind.
‘Space Distortion Barrier’.
Recalling the archwitch’s warning, I bit my lip. I didn’t have the ability to deal with magical means.
The vampire knew that and was taking his time.
even still.
The vampire, who had vented all his anger, was smiling with his upper body hanging down, only his shoulders shaking.
“Puh, uhh… Ahahahahaha!”
And in those two eyes that were raised again, five strange dots were flickering.
I stopped breathing in an instant.
It was an unpleasantly noticeable white dot.
“By the way, ‘that bitch’ wasn’t enough, and even that disciple achieved my life’s goal in two months? Do not be ridiculous… you, like you… … !”
And the vampire’s hand slowly lifted up.
I sensed that it was the harbinger of an unavoidable blow. It was fortunate that I was raising my aura in advance.
Doesn’t the distance decrease?
In that case, it was enough to intercept here.
Right after my hand stroked my waist like lightning.
“… … Do you think the likes of you can reach me?!”
The hatchet flew in a strange trajectory in the stopped world.
seconds.
But when the world regained its hue, countless slashes broke out like lacerations.
Of course, that didn’t mean I was safe.
Papabak, doing it.
The blood that flowed through his body burst out like a needle, both internally and externally. I tried to regain control as much as possible with magic, but even so, the pain of tearing my whole body was irreversible.
“Turn off, turn off… … .”
With a thumping sound, my body collapsed onto the ground powerlessly.
Even though I endured it, it was like this. Still, if the vampire had allowed another effective hit, at least he wouldn’t have been able to avoid serious injuries.
It was when I barely managed to raise my head while panting.
“… … But, it is. This sweet smell.”
Hearing that calm voice, my skin immediately crumpled.
lie.
However, despite my wishes, there was a woman walking leisurely beyond the blood-stained field of view.
There were no scars left on the body.
Have you ever played it? Even so, there wouldn’t have been a chance to dodge my blow in the stopped time.
The vampire lightly stepped on my astonishment and chanted.
“I see, it’s ‘dragon’s blood’… If so, that talent cannot be explained. Ah, how much I had hoped for… … .”
“… … uh, how?”
Cool, he spat out blood and vomited out doubts.
Only then did the vampire wake up from his thoughts of being alone, and his eyes turned to me.
It didn’t take long for an exclamation of ah to come out of the mouth that was staring at me.
“It’s a barrier of five elements.”
“Well, what… … .”
“Are you the owner of the dragon blood character? I’m alive thanks The barrier bases installed throughout the academy were still incomplete. But thanks to finding the right nucleus, you, the plan was accelerated.”
Then, the vampire subtly bent his knees and grabbed my hair.
To force eye contact.
I just glared at the vampire with my teeth clenched.
“Isn’t that? ‘Dragon’ is the first child born to the heavenly god Arus. And religiously, ‘firstborn’ has a very symbolic meaning. Heirs, agents, and most valuable offerings… … .”
As if whispering a secret, the vampire smiled seductively.
The sweet breath kept tickling the tip of his nose. I said, the woman’s moist tongue lightly brushed my cheek.
At the same time, the vampire trembled and fell into ecstasy. By pulling it up to my thighs.
“Haa, so sweet… Nephew-in-law, the ‘dragon blood letter’ is a scary power. It’s a forbidden sorcery that completely changes not only the constitution, but also the blood. It’s like ‘dragon’s blood’.”
“That and this… Well, it doesn’t matter… … .”
“Ahahahaha, don’t you still understand? Why did I set a trap for the academy at this point, and why did I set up a barrier… Of course, isn’t it to gain power? Rarely, a lot of dragon’s blood has gathered here… … .”
It was then that the blood that had fallen to the ground gushed out and snatched my sword.
The vampire struck himself with the sword as if showing off.
Pak, do.
The blade, struck at high speed, passed right through the woman’s neck and lodged itself in the ground. Even so, not a single scratch remained on the vampire’s body.
Facing my dull gaze, the woman smiled.
“Have you heard? The fact that the five elements circulate in harmony with each other… Same goes for all the laws of physics. But what if you could control those five elements?”
silence.
As I stared at him in silence, the vampire giggled and laughed.
“No one can touch me! Of course, there is a limit to using a large-scale barrier. At least about the size of my body? But that’s enough… Because there is only one being in the entire world who can handle all five elements!”
These were the words he shouted with his blue eyes burning with madness.
I realized that the vampire was extremely agitated. So I tried to hold onto my fainting spirit and urged me to boast even more.
I don’t know what use it will be.
“That, what… … .”
“dragon!”
Even the bloody feet were standing on the whites of the woman who shouted that.
He said he couldn’t stand it without talking about his achievements.
“But aren’t dragons extinct?! It is only when I regain my own strength that even the great ‘Great Witch’ can fully handle the principles of the five elements… But that bitch will never be able to use her strength… why? My body will be released immediately!”
Why was this woman so impatient that she could not boast of her strength?
That doubt was quickly dispelled. It was because, between the burning blue pupils, he found fragments of familiar emotions again.
‘Envy’ and ‘Inferiority’.
The woman who was jealous of the talents of others was shouting loudly to know her ability. It was one of the universal characteristics of human beings with an inferiority complex.
It was a good thing for me.
Thanks to you, many mysteries have been solved.
The only problem is that my mind is slowly clouding.
It wasn’t a vampire who couldn’t notice this.
The monster had a thicker line than ever before.
“Nephew-son-in-law, I still have to keep you alive… It doesn’t matter where you go. But you must keep your life. That way the barrier will be maintained… Also, do I have to get my brother who left my house back?”
So, sleep well.
The fangs were slowly approaching. My vision was already blurry and I couldn’t see properly, but my instincts were telling me.
It’s time to sleep.
Yes, it was so dark and chilly here.
When you wake up after a short sleep, the sun will be pouring down again.
It was the moment when I closed my eyes thinking such nonsense.
Pop, the lights of the whole world flickered.
“… … ?”
The vampire, as if not expecting this situation, stopped trying to bite my neck and looked around.
Right then.
“Sword Spirit.”
As soon as I heard that low voice, I woke up to my senses. Then, with the last of his strength, he rolled his body to the side.
The vampire inadvertently reached out to me. It was an obvious attempt to capture a hostage trying to escape, but unfortunately.
“… … what.”
The vampire had no choice but to let out a stupid sound.
Before I knew it, I had countless incontinence on my arm. And that was before I even figured out what had happened.
Pak, the sound of rotten fruit exploding echoed.
And blood, flesh, and bone fragments pouring down from the rainwater.
It was a sight that even made it futile.
So the vampire had no choice but to stare blankly at it. A faint bursting sound was detected from that mouth after some time had passed.
“OMG… aaa?! uh, what kind of guy? What kind of guy dares to do this… … !”
The vampire vomited in astonishment and immediately stood up. Soon after, the eyes of that boundary turned toward the sky.
Tak, a small girl landed.
With a barrier between me and the vampire.
“If you use the whole world as your sword, you don’t have to have hands or feet. Did you want to swing your sword even if you rolled on the ground or even if your body stopped moving?”
Saying that, the girl slightly turned her gaze back and looked down at me.
She was a very impressive woman with her delicate features.
To the extent that everyone’s heart beats at that pure aspect.
Except for me.
I inadvertently let out a laugh.
“… … Then, you are perfect for ‘sword soul’!”
Pointing at me with her index finger, the girl tilted her head slightly, her lips showing a confident smile.
Yeah, how can I hide it?
The true identity of this girl is ‘Sword Gong’.
It was the appearance of a master who was not worthy of his age.
