587 – 7. Jealousy is my strength (87)
The time I stop is getting longer and longer.
Of course, it was an unexpected situation for a vampire. My body was tired to the point of exhaustion, and I couldn’t use powerful skills like ‘Time Stop’ indefinitely.
If that were possible, I would have been called ‘Master’ rather than High Expert.
However, I was going against that common sense.
Of course, it wasn’t a miracle that was possible without any cost.
It wasn’t a story worth worrying about now.
How many more times must he have swung the hatchet while the vampire went crazy?
Soon, the particles of light scattered with a tinkling noise.
It was proof that the blood-colored chains had broken.
Until then, the vampire was just standing there, speechless. There was only a hint of incomprehension in the blue eyes that were examining me carefully.
This was no different for the archwitch who was barely freed.
“You, how… no, is that okay? Is it first?”
The Archwitch’s worries were justified. That’s because my condition looked serious from the outside.
I didn’t even have time to look at the reaction of the people around me.
The sound of gasping for breath is rough. The overworked brain and lungs were complaining of limits.
But the more it happened, the more vivid the scene existed.
Memories of a strange man poking between the folds of the brain.
It feels like the blood vessels in my head are about to burst. With a thump, the blood vessels in his eyes burst, turning his vision a pale bloody color. While somehow suppressing the desire to scream.
I had no choice but to sit down and groan.
Only then did the vampire show a devastated smile.
“I don’t know what you did, but yes… There is no power without a price. Did you make a ‘deal’?”
It was then that the High Witch staggered to her feet.
As the vampire looked at me with her troubled eyes, the Archwitch deliberately stood in front of me. She seemed to be an attempt to keep me from being incapacitated.
The vampire didn’t seem to feel any threat.
“Ugly little brother, don’t you still understand? That there is no means to defeat me unless you bring forth the power of your body… Why don’t you call the body right now?”
“In that time, your body will escape the barrier?”
To the question he spat out while gritting his teeth, the vampire responded with a short laugh.
Dozens of unknown shapes were emerging behind the Archwitch’s back.
“No matter how much the soul is broken into pieces, a center is needed for the soul to form a mass. So, how much power do you have to pull out?”
“That’s enough.”
So the vampire snorted at her and raised her hand.
As I watched the scene, I pounded her thighs with her fists. The battle was about to start, but there was no time to stay like this.
As I expected, the fight was one-sided.
Kwajijik, fire, wind, and electric charge all at once mixed together to create a beam of light. It was a magic that brought together five elements.
You can’t even imagine the explosive power.
But this place was inside the vampire’s barrier.
Boom!
The vampire only made one gesture.
With that alone, the ground was overturned, cracks appeared in the sky, and all the magic circles that the Archwitch had been preparing were shattered. Of course, the Archwitch, unable to overcome the shock, spat out blood.
Is this the cause of the earthquake that was felt even outside the barrier?
“…… Not enough to punish a thief like you!”
And while the vampire was about to slash his hand again.
With me staggering and standing up, the world was once again dyed in an achromatic color.
Excessive use of the aura gave blood a terrible strain. I couldn’t control the overflowing magic power, and a silver electric charge was crackling and bouncing in my eyes.
Nevertheless, my body kicks off the ground and runs.
Literally unconscious.
I no longer needed my doctor. Before I knew it, I was scattering a silver aura that spread like mist in front of the vampire.
The description of ‘Hae(解)’.
But the opponent was a legendary Mine.
A thumping, booming sound resounded through the room. Nothing moved, but the feeling of the momentum that was born alone hit me was so unfamiliar that I was in a state of bewilderment.
In the place where the distortion of the shimmering space had been removed, the vampire who had regained her color was showing an annoyed expression.
“Annoying…… !”
And then another binge.
It was not an artificially caused explosion. The vampire just hit the blade with her hand, and the pressure on her arm felt like it would break the bones.
The reason why I didn’t let go of my sword despite such a risk.
It was to seize the opportunity to counterattack.
Pushing, doing it.
As the blood splattered, the vampire hit her back, eyes wide in disbelief. Before she knew it, there was a small puncture wound on her shoulder.
It was the result of the aura that had been scattered through ‘Hae(解)’ united into ‘Gyeol(結)’ and fired at once.
In other words, it feels like the flowing river meets a narrow waterway.
Its penetrating power was incomparable to other techniques. Even the vampire who regained Samhal’s power was able to allow a penetrating wound, so it’s worth guessing its power.
Of course, it wasn’t without regret.
Because I was originally aiming for the vampire’s heart.
As I expected, the wound on the vampire’s shoulder healed surprisingly quickly. Smoke rose with a crackling sound, and soon there was no trace of it.
However, it was the vampire’s turn next.
My sword, unable to withstand the vampire’s brute force, has long since gone away, and all that remains is the future where the vampire’s fists and feet strike my arms and legs one after another.
And the result was disastrous.
Kwadeuk, eudeuk.
Do you know the feeling of body parts being crushed to the bone and torn apart?
It felt like it would have been better if I didn’t know for the rest of my life. I couldn’t even scream, I lost my left arm and right leg and grabbed the tattered flesh.
Even though I only have one arm left, I couldn’t stop the bleeding in my lower body.
The archwitch’s screams erupted from behind.
“First! Keugh…… !”
With him, dozens of magic circles floated up into the sky again, but the result was always the same.
Just click your finger and the sky disappears.
It was not an exaggeration or metaphor. Even if it wasn’t so, the sky was nothing but pitch-black darkness, but the sight of it being ripped apart in space was terrifying.
It feels as if a transcendent being is tearing apart space like a sheet of paper.
And filling the void was another darkness.
Though it was visually better than before. Because in the newly created sky, the bloody moon was floating.
The crimson moonlight was clear. The vampire, illuminated by the eerie lighting, looked rather annoyed.
“Did you think something would be different with the two of you? How foolish you are.”
As expected, the war situation was not good.
I was clearly unable to fight, and the Archwitch staggered to get up, but only the sound of collapsing was heard. It is unknown when Elsie, who is moaning, will come to her senses.
Only one person took a step here.
Without even the sound of footsteps, lightly.
The vampire slowly approached me, and the eyes of the vampire contained a vague intent to kill. Looking down at my shoulder, it seemed that he was quite resentful of the fact that he took a punch from me.
The sound of gnashing his teeth was evidence of that.
My vision gradually blurs. The sound of my breathing became more and more subdued, and my mind became confused as the amount of blood loss increased.
“However, the previous blow was impressive… It reminds me of when my poor little brother was doing well.”
That’s why I can’t forgive you even more.
It felt like a low whisper was digging into my ears. It was already on the verge of passing out, so I couldn’t be sure.
All I knew was that the vampire’s hand was slowly being raised.
Because it is the instinct of all living things to detect approaching death.
Now.
Is this the end?
The moment I was about to close my eyes while thinking that.
“What…… !”
I heard the vampire visibly panicking. And suddenly, a pain burning up her spine.
It was to the point where my eyelids, which had been slowly closing, opened automatically.
“What is this… Shut it off, aaa!”
A bizarre sight unfolded before my eyes as I screamed and regained consciousness.
In the space buried in darkness, countless bloody threads were spread out. The solid lines, forming a complex and solid net like a spider’s web, were connected to me and the vampire.
Every time the blood-colored thread digging through my spine pulsates, I feel a burning sensation. The results of that pain were truly astonishing.
The limbs are regenerated.
It was a miracle that was thought to be possible only with divine power. Even with a decent amount of sacrifice, I won’t be able to heal my body anymore.
On the other hand, the bloody thread connected to the vampire played a completely different role.
The vampire’s body was tightly bound so that he could not even move.
From noble mtl dot com
There is probably only one person who wields such a strange power.
A moment later, a cry filled with hate erupted from the vampire’s mouth.
“‘Greed’…… !”
That was the signal flare.
A girl who fell from the sky with a bang showed off her graceful landing posture. She slightly bends her knees to offset her shock, and spreads her arms as if in her manners.
Her black hair and golden eyes caught my eye.
In addition, the jet-black robe that shows the level of exposure is dangerous.
The girl slowly raised her body and pursed her lips as if singing.
“In a closed darkroom, a man and a woman are having a physical conversation? Not good, not good… As her sister, definitely against it!”
“A crazy b*tch who wants to hang out with her brother…… !”
The vampire seemed dumbfounded by the words, but she couldn’t deal an effective blow to the girl’s heart.
On the contrary, the girl raised her body and even winked at one of her eyes.
Nothing but me.
“Now, here comes the little sister who loves her brother! Relax now! Until my brother is mine, he must not be destroyed!”
It was a line that still gave me a sense of confusion.
I was about to close my eyes, but finally sighed and raised my upper body.
Yes, we must fight.
Because that’s a ‘contract’.
It was a united front between siblings.
