Humans have always been afraid of the night. Even the darkness that hides the enemy and sleep, the attacker's best friend. Everything that came at night was absolutely dangerous.
That was only when the night wasn't on our side.
If the founder Tirkanjaka is on our side, the night turns into a cozy and peaceful moment that envelops us in a curtain of peace and stillness.
[The sun has set.]
If it's dark everywhere, Tyr doesn't have to sleep for a few days. She regained her heartbeat and restored some of her functions, but still, the power that moves her body is the blood of blood.
However, among those discarded, the power to withstand the sun was included.
Can not help it. At that time, it was too harsh for a girl who was barely living under the ground to leave enough to withstand the sun.
As the sun went down, Tyr came out of the coffin. With bright red eyes, Tyr looked down at the world.
“You waited a long time. Now you can close your eyes. Darkness is my time and territory. I will not bring anything into it.”
Tyr proudly declared. At the same time, darkness enveloped the room, layer by layer. Even the twinkling sunset over Seosan did not reach here. I don't know if it's the sun that looks down on everything in the middle of the day. If they are at the same eye level, even the darkness here is not swayed by the tired sunlight.
Anyway, Tyr opened his eyes.
I was beaten.
“Tir. Wait a minute, okay? It’s what we say.”
“okay. Do you want to ask me anything?”
“We need to check each other’s strength, so can you explain each of our weaknesses one by one?”
“… Well?”
'Weakness? Was it my weakness? Why is that all of a sudden… ? Aha, you look anxious. If that's the case, it would be the best way to show your confidence as the eldest.'
Tyr, engulfed in a strange sense of duty, clad in darkness and declared confidently.
“There are no weaknesses. I am the progenitor Tirkanjaka, the being that the whole world once feared. Is there any fear in fear itself?”
“Isn’t that necessarily the case? Just avoid direct sunlight.”
Tyr, who paused and flinched at my question, spoke as if making excuses.
“It’s not a weakness, it’s a reluctance. Originally, I was able to walk in darkness even in the midday sun, and now that I have regained my heart, there is no problem with my bare body. However, we only took a short break to gather our strength for an important fight.”
“Isn’t that a weakness?”
'It's true that there are restrictions on movement under sunlight, but it's a weakness.'
It seems you don't understand the meaning of this person's weakness. Isn't it a weakness to restrict movement in sunlight?
Tyr, unaware of my feelings, raised his slender shoulders to the fullest and exclaimed.
“I am not afraid of the sun at all. To a vampire, sunlight is just a stinging raindrop. Even if it's low-class Ain or Yaling, the Elder can survive under the sun, and to me, the progenitor, it's just a nuisance… .”
“You’re asking for a clear understanding of power. Do you use your power well under the sun, or do you not use it well? Answer yes or no.”
Wouldn't even a little stinging raindrop make a hole in your body if it rained all day long? Could it be an error in the first place?
Tyr hesitated for a moment and said, avoiding his gaze.
“… Yes, Iran.”
“Okay, OK. It weakens in sunlight.”
“However, that was before I regained my heart. Now we can exert equal power. What you need to worry about is… .”
“It’s possible because the power doesn’t come out of the body. If hematology could be used outside the body, the legion would have walked around at night, not the dirtiest.”
“… eww.”
In fact, Tyr didn't add anything to the bombing. When I left, I decided to dig up the facts a little more under the guise of grasping power.
“If you fight during the day, how can you handle the darkness?”
“How can you measure a sheep in darkness? My darkness is infinite, and it will not dry up until the next night comes.”
uh? weird. Why are you serious?
Obviously, Tyr truly believes that.
But something is strange. If there is no limit, there is no reason to stock up on strength for a day. He realizes that he has his own limitations, so he gathers his strength, but are you serious about saying that he never dries up?
Oh wait.
“Tir. Are you saying that because there is a limit, but I have never really dried it out?”
“You can think so. Even the longest day is not enough to exhaust all my darkness. If I could protect my entire corps with darkness, it would be enough to protect you, me, and Shay.”
That's true, but there is a limit to the capacity!
“Hey! But what if, at an important moment, the darkness falls and you are in danger? Do you want to turn me into a vampire like that? Are you planning on forcibly turning me into a vampire, saying that I can't help it after killing him on purpose?!”
“… That can't be the case, is it?”
'I have to make you a vampire unnaturally, so that I can only live with your resentment, I will do my best to protect you… . Even if you do your best, if something goes wrong with your life, there is nothing you can do about it.'
Vampire death insurance is reliable. My heart is so happy
But before that, why don't you just let me die. If you have that kind of heart, you might be able to let the bullets fly in a moment of crisis.
Anyway, I slowly decided to seriously investigate the power.
“For us to be safe, we need to be clear about each other's weaknesses and limitations. Be honest. How much darkness can you use?”
“With what shall you measure darkness? However, today I gathered my strength by capturing the darkness all day long. Even if a fierce battle breaks out, you will be able to spit it out until the sun goes down… . I don't know if Seonghwangcheong uses some weird trick.”
“What if I run out of darkness?”
“Even so, my body remains, so all I have to do is crush the enemies one by one.”
“I see. Now I have checked the dark part.”
'… I have a pretty ugly eye. It seems that the mind and body have been disturbed by the long escape life. I can't. If you give me faith, I will not be anxious.'
No, it's not like that. It's a really simple power survey, so please don't give false reports. If he believes in himself like that, he might be fooled by me too.
“Now what about the other weaknesses?”
“If you are not afraid of even the sun, what other weaknesses are there?”
Eh? really? As far as I know, vampires have a few more weaknesses.
Why are you serious? It's a rant. Even if you say that, do you really not remember any of your weaknesses?
“No, Tyr. The whole world knows about Tyr's weakness, but what is it that he doesn't have?”
“It’s weird. How is it that the whole world knows a weakness that even I do not know?”
“Heaven knows it, the earth knows it, I know it, and even beginners know it. Maybe you can even get to know him, who has suddenly become smarter these days.”
For a long time, vampires have been man's greatest fear.
There were several complicated circumstances involved in simply saying “the enemy”.
Vampires were once human, and they needed fresh human blood to survive. Although he despised a body that desperately wanted blood, he did not want to abandon his perfect body. Time does not weaken them, and even beasts avoid them. However, their apocalypse always appeared in human form.
Humans were the exact opposite of vampires. A being that is prey to vampires and can become a vampire at any time. Humans loathed vampires, but on the other hand envied them as semi-immortals, and he would sometimes consider them lucky and accept them as opportunities to become vampires.
A bizarre relationship where one is subordinate to the other from birth to death while being both a predator and a prey.
Awe entails curiosity. Humans have always tried to learn more about vampires. He pursued the truth while embracing fantasy, and filled the gap with knowledge.
But the irony is that only the Sijo doesn't know.
“It is ironic. I am the beginning of all vampires and their race god. Are you saying that this vampire has a weakness that I am not aware of?”
“That’s what I’m going to say. Whoa. I can’t.”
Let's try it once we've talked about it. I turned my head and called the returner.
“Mr Shay! Come here for a second!”
“Wait a minute. Just look at the butterflies.”
At the same time, the returnee was busy taking care of butterflies.
It was the butterfly side rather than me who was tired of the long escape life. The butterfly that entered the box was nervous, and every time it came close, unless it was a regressor, it would squeal.
Even now, if it weren't for the friendly returnee, the food in his hands, and a magic herb made from world tree leaves, he might have turned the table upside down several times.
The returnee, who closed the box lid, shook his head and gave a sad expression.
“It’s difficult. It's probably because he's the king of cats, so he doesn't seem to welcome long trips… . It would be better to stay quiet somewhere, in a peaceful and quiet place.”
“Where we decide to leave, we start with the immediate task. between humans.”
“The horseshoe bird… okay. What are your challenges?”
After all, the returner is the main focus of this party.
Its ability to respond is something that no one can match, a little like a universal medicine. It would be better to work with a regressor if you can figure out the power.
“Mr Shay. Do you know the weakness of vampires?”
“Of course you know. Isn't it sunlight?”
“Other than that?”
“Salt and spices. Garlic, for example.”
Tyr frowned while spraying in denial.
“gibberish. I am not afraid of that.”
'It is true that I hate the sun. Seonghwangcheong also took advantage of that to the point where it bothered me. However, I am not afraid of salt and spices. I've never encountered it in the first place.'
I've never seen it before, at this point I realized what Tyr's problem was.
Ah, some folk remedies have not been passed on to Tyr. He always leads the army.
The explanation is left to the regressor. Hear how even a beginner knows how to deal with vampires.
“uh? But I've heard that vampires are blood-moving creatures, so they don't like spices that dissolve in blood. So, a poison that is lethal in a small amount is not very effective, and if you add a lot of salt instead, it is very troublesome.”
“It’s not unusual. Speaking of vampires, beings that control blood. How can you say that you don't like salt, not poison that clings to your blood?”
Let's have a drink after talking. I put a little salt on the back of my hand and held it out to Tyr. Tyr tilted his head and responded.
“Isn’t it salt?”
“yes. Have you tried it after a long time? If it’s not a weakness, it’s fine.”
Tyr faltered, unable to put the white salt in his mouth prematurely. I stick it out even more as if to put it in my mouth.
'Isn't it like kissing the back of your hand? That's daring… . The roles have changed, though.'
No, it wasn't because I didn't like salt.
After noticing it for a while, as if he had made up his mind, he put his tongue on the back of my hand. A small tongue lightly touched the white salt and then fell.
Immediately after that, Tyr frowned at the uncomfortable sensation.
“taste… There is none.”
“You can’t taste Tyr. He who can only taste blood.”
“Yes. it's awkward It is not compatible with my blood.”
“What is that weakness?”
“different. This is a matter of taste and preference… .”
“Evi.”
“Hey.”
He poked the salt at Tyr, who didn't want to admit it until the very end, but he swung his head back as if he had seen a bug. Tyr, who made a cute scream that was not like Sijo, was frozen in that state and stood still.
hoo, look at this I've known it since I started crying saying my blood was tasteless. It's difficult to taste.
“Tir. It is said that knowledge about vampires spread to novels and paintings without being known. You must not be vigilant. The three things that people in the world fear the most are compatibility, mama, and vampires. It was shared by everyone in the world. Even Shay knows.”
“Wait a minute. I can feel a bit of malice in saying that even I don’t know.”
However, Tyr nodded slowly to see if he agreed with me, and stopped when the returner turned his head.
Tyr, who turned away from the regressor who was staring at him, and coughed a little, shook his gaze and looked at me.
“okay. Let's say I hate things like salt. What does it matter? How could anyone feed me salt?”
“You can’t be vigilant about that. A military state is a country that freely uses all the means that exist.”
If a weakness exists, there is no reason not to target it. Not only is it reasonable, but otherwise, it's an opponent you can't easily win.
I erased the playfulness from my face and spoke with an infinitely serious attitude.
“Today’s attack is a search battle. Perhaps he was trying to take away Tyr's power. Fortunately, it was driven out with only Shay's power, but a full-fledged attack and search battle are two different things. You have to plan before they come. It will be late by then.”
