All that remains is life
In the bottomless pit, Tyr gave me a drop of true blood. I made him keep on a skewer what he had given to me out of generosity, saying there was no valuable treasure in it.
After that, things fizzled out a bit as Tyr lost his control. Even though the true blood of the returner was collected, a single drop of true blood remained on my skewer.
And luckily, the blood-soaked skewer remained unharmed despite the chaos.
No, it’s fine because it’s a skewer.
A skewer emerges from between the broken desks. During the conversation, a number was hidden under the desk. The red glowing tip aimed at Lutric’s arm.
‘You’re stupid. ‘You don’t know how meaningless blades are against vampires.’
Rather than stopping, Lou Trick increased his momentum even further. Even if that skewer stabs him, he will use the momentum to attack me.
‘Vampires don’t get hurt. Blades that produce blood are pointless. It would have been more effective if it had been a shield or a hammer…. If you knew that, you wouldn’t have provoked me. Your foolishness has killed you. ‘My mistress!’
I’ll give it back to you literally.
It wasn’t someone else who killed you. With the Elder dead and Tyr’s control gone, you have earned the right to die yourself. In other words, I gained the right to live.
They were the hands and feet of the Elder and have finally become humans.
The skewer tore through his body. He was about to ignore me and attack me, but stopped when he felt an unusual sensation. There should have been minimal resistance, but my skewer tore his blood-filled body like a piece of paper.
“What… !”
There is no time to hesitate. I pulled my wrist and made a large skewer cut. The skin is torn like a piece of paper, and blood and flesh flow inside. My pickpocketing skills didn’t go anywhere, so I was able to turn his right arm into rags.
However, the opponent is a vampire who often throws away at least one arm. Losses of this magnitude are commonplace.
“Jinhyeol! You had a corner to believe in!”
‘Then, how about this!’
He immediately thought of a countermeasure and twisted his left arm and right leg. Attacks from two directions. Even, this time, the RBI was intentionally pulled. Even if I block his attack in the middle, his whip-like limbs will wrap around my body.
It’s really like dealing with a whip. He is experienced and skilled, and is skilled in attrition warfare against humans. If it was one-on-one, I wouldn’t have been able to win even if I woke up dead.
I wish it was one-on-one.
Sigh.
Red thread wrapped Lutric’s entire body. Behind him, Count Erte was holding on to him with countless blood vessels stretched out.
“My mistress! Run away!”
Showing your back against Sil. One timing was the only opportunity to attack allowed to him. Count Erte did not miss the limbs that were pulled back excessively while hitting the RBI. This is because she was also a vampire who had experienced numerous battles.
Count Erte, who had captured Lutric to protect me, shouted.
“I will take responsibility for this traitor and destroy him forever… Mistress?”
“I am responsible.”
I picked up the skewer and stabbed him in both shoulders carelessly. It took quite a bit of strength, but with the help of a skewer soaked in real blood, I was able to cut off Lutric’s left arm without difficulty. In the meantime, Lutric went crazy trying to kill me, but Count Erte continued to hold him tighter and tighter, tightening and loosening his grip.
Count Erte is better at dealing with vampires. As if I learned it with that in mind from the beginning. Anyway, after getting a skewer stuck in one of my legs, I finally got some free time and took a deep breath.
“How do you feel? How does it feel to kneel down to a pet?”
Wounds cut with blood cannot regenerate completely. In addition, Count Erte is sealing the severed limb by sticking a blood thread into it. Lutric tried to resist several times but failed and muttered in despair.
“Heh. The famous mistress of the founder was such a bastard…. “The country is going downhill.”
“What are you saying when you kick the country? “How about the taste of treason?”
“A taste of treason? While insulting the demi-humans who lost their Elder? “I just did what I had to do.”
“But, when the Elder was alive and Tyr still had control, we couldn’t do what we should have done, right?”
I said, pressing down on the skewer stuck in his thigh with my foot.
“It looks nice. The first thing he did after barely gaining his freedom was to commit suicide. “For daring to oppose the founder’s mistress, I will kill you however you want.”
“… “I knew from the day the Elder passed away that I would be abandoned one day, but I never thought I would perish at the hands of my beloved mistress.”
Lutric, who had lost the strength and will to resist, muttered self-deprecatingly.
“Annihilate forever.”
‘I thought he was dead anyway… This is a meaningful death. If she dies due to the tyranny of her mistress, other blood relatives who were worried will also join us.’
As I read his thoughts, Ruskinia’s blood relatives were planning a rebellion. Towards none other than the progenitor, Tyr.
’10 Years since the death of Prince Ruskinia. We were nothing during this time. Ain who lost Elder is destined to disappear. Only the founder could reap us… Even the founder threw off his bridle and abandoned us.’
It was they who wanted the return of the progenitor the most. Either the founder punishes Lire, takes the true blood, and establishes a new Elder… Or, you could have collected it yourself.
However, Sijo, which returned after a long time, was completely different.
‘Vengeance on the founder who abandoned us.’
What a great reason for rebellion. If there’s a problem, it’s that it’s an understandable reason for a vampire.
I have read everything. Me indeed. I only removed the bridle from them, but I never thought it would lead to this result.
Count Erte winked at me. This means that it is okay to kill him now. But still, I had just one question to ask.
As I plucked the skewer from his thigh, I asked casually in passing.
“You said it earlier, right? There were circumstances, and he was sensitive about things about his concubine.”
“….”
Lutrik did not answer. It doesn’t matter though. Mind readers can read the answer even if they don’t listen.
“Did Prince Ruskinia have a lover? I heard that he is harsh on humans…. Well, when people like that fall in love once, they fall deeply into it again.”
“… “You talk a lot.”
“How was he? He must have cared for his mistress more than you, who are also vampires, right? You say your horse is a pet and all, but you’re used to being treated as less than a pet, right? “I don’t know why you suddenly started arguing with me.”
Vampires are not controlled by emotions. Even when she is on the verge of extinction, she cool-headedly makes a plan rather than feeling fear. But is there really no regret right before death?
Of course, I won’t be foolish enough to reveal the rebellion plan just because I provoked it. However, before he died, he had the humanity to say at least one thing that would offend me.
“The b*tch is dead. She took Prince Luskinia’s favor for granted as if it were her own, and she was destroyed. Directly into the hands of the Duke of Ruskinia.”
Even as his long life was coming to an end, Lutric laughed at me with his bright eyes.
“And you, too, will face the same end.”
I may have said it was a curse, but thank you. This was information I really wanted to know. I said to Count Erte, who seemed to be getting weaker.
“Count Erte. “Can I go out for a moment?”
“I would appreciate it if you would.”
“Oh, indeed. “Before you go.”
To help the job a bit, I picked up a skewer one last time. After holding it tightly with one hand and supporting it with the other hand, he aimed at Lutrick’s heart.
“Goodbye, Lutric. The wishes of the dominated take on meaning after they are freed from control. Of course, the wish you had when you got out of control… Revenge for domination was a surprising but regrettable result.”
‘Right before killing, be polite and say something nonsensical. ‘You talk too much.’
The fact that he first chose treason after gaining freedom… Did he terribly hate domination, or did he miss it bitterly? It’s probably one of two things.
Or is it both?
“Since you are human too, I will respect that will.”
From noble mtl dot com
‘… Will?’
Soak. I pierced his heart deeply with a skewer. Lutric’s consciousness is shaken. This alone won’t kill a vampire, but a skewer soaked in real blood will definitely hit it. Since he has steadily eroded his immortality, Count Erte will help him annihilate him forever.
Lutrick thought as his consciousness gradually faded away, clearly this was the end.
‘It’s the end of a long life, but… There is no regret that humans speak of. Is it because I am a vampire, or is it because I really did it of my own will?’
Lutrik was a Sioux. After hearing the Elder’s commands, he lived his life to faithfully follow them. The Elder’s orders are absolute. In his bloody bondage, he couldn’t even get a chance to doubt and moved like limbs.
Many demi-humans similar to him died as limbs… Lutrikman died as a human. He wasn’t dead yet, but he would be.
In the interrupted consciousness, the power of blood magic weakened. Count Erte loosened his tight grip. Count Erte, who returned to the front, stuck a blood clot into his torn chest. He said as he sewed the torn wound with blood thread to prevent it from healing.
“I will reap the traitor’s blood and heart. It may be an uncomfortable sight for humans to see.”
“I’ll be out for a moment. “Please finish and come back.”
“Don’t go too far. “I wonder if there might be some sympathizers.”
“I’ll be in the room right next door.”
I went outside, shaking my hands. Turning around, I saw Count Erte thrusting his hand into Lutrick’s heart. He controlled Lutrick’s Blood Spell with his burrowing hand and stopped the flow.
Because he is not an elevated elder, Count Erte cannot collect Lutrick’s blood. All it can do is release Rutric’s blood, the power that shaped and moved him into the world.
That is enough. Because there is not even a trace of immortality left behind.
The existence of Rutric melts into the world. I watched the scene for a while and then left.
The hospital where Eui-sun stayed was more peaceful than I thought. I couldn’t hear the pain and groaning, and the advancing humans were chatting hahahahahoho. Few Ruskinian blood relatives remained. Instead, the humans who saved their lives thanks to the righteous line took care of the patients by claiming to be nurses.
As I walked slowly, a girl dressed as a nurse cautiously approached me and asked me.
“Wait a minute. I heard a roar from over there earlier, did something happen?”
It’s not difficult to tell. I told the truth honestly.
“I came here to purge a military brat who dared to disrespect the founder’s beloved concubine. “I did well, right?”
“Father. Have you finally gone crazy?”
Why? What.
Why do I have to hear such words from the person playing the nurse here?
