442 – Reverse Heaven Trial – 5
For humans, sleep is a paragraph. The human body, which survives the day by seeing, hearing, and feeling countless information, and being forced to make the best judgment at each time, comes at some point when it must sleep as if it were dead. You have to block out all your senses and let go of your nerves to end a tiring day and be reborn tomorrow.
“Phew. Wake up “The moon is bright.”
“….”
“It’s a big deal. “It’s only been 10 minutes, so seeing as he’s not whining, I guess he’s definitely not going to wake up.”
If you do not give it the rest it deserves, this body, which moves a little tired at first, will gradually break down and break down. That’s exactly what I was doing now.
“Do humans collapse like this after only a few days of sleep? “In my time, there were times when we fought day and night without sleeping.”
“That… Because I endured it… I survived until then….”
“I never thought my companion would be so weak.”
“It’s cowardly for a vampire who doesn’t sleep to do that… ! “Sigh.”
I admit that I am weak. However, I would like to protest that there is nothing we can do in this environment. Although he was a patient to begin with, he was exhausted from wandering around the principality and was exhausted, so he followed him to the court. If you don’t fall down even after doing this, you’re a new human being after vampires.
There it is.
“Someone is holding a trial in the middle of the night…” . “It’s time for good children to go to bed.”
“Night is the vampire’s time.”
“It seems like all vampires are just bad kids….”
“You’re talking to someone else. “I guess you’re not a very good kid either.”
Anyway, Tyr noticed my condition and instead of fussing or urging me, I got up leisurely.
“Then what will be the ruling on Liir? Do you think it would be okay if we postponed it for a few days?”
“Yes? We were supposed to do it today. “Can you put that off?”
“It’s only a few days at most, so what? “For a few days, it will pass in the blink of an eye.”
“Even if a bug gets into my eye, I think it will open again in a few days.”
Is this a vampire way of thinking? There is no hesitation in putting off an appointment. Well, it might be possible for Tyr to visit his country again after 300 years. Tyr further declared proudly.
“And since I am the founder of this country, what could not be possible?”
“As expected….”
Power itself, alive, no, dead, no, resurrected. I bowed down and raised my thumb.
“Please…” . I think I’ll be fine if I just rest a little….”
“I see. Take a good rest. But, phew….”
Tyr lowered his voice a little and poked my back as if he was a little embarrassed.
“… When can we be together next night? “The night is long and it’s a bit lonely.”
“How long has it been since you last did it?!”
“Even then, it passed so quickly that I didn’t even know what was what. “I think I’ll understand better if I take my time and savor it again.”
“When you say it like that, it makes me sound like I’m the king of rabbits or something! Tyr, three days is not an instant! Go ask somewhere. “You will be amazed at my incompetence!”
If you weren’t a vampire, you would have died several times! It was such a tough fight! Oh, wait. I’m so excited that my head hurts again. It may be a little cowardly, but next time I’ll have to use the power of the demon god….
“Your complexion looks bad. I can definitely feel the blood flow weakening. Mmm. “I don’t think I can make it any more difficult than this.”
Tyr left me alone and prepared to leave. She wraps her coat around her body and gathers the darkness that has dissipated in the room into a parasol. Tyr, who had prepared lightly, looked at me lying on the bed with a smile and said.
“I’m going to call a doctor, so stay calm. “Tell them to wait a moment.”
“I think I’ll be fine if I just rest a little…” Please go….”
“I’m still not sure about just a little bit of normal time. “I will go.”
The door slowly closed. Thanks to Tyr gathering all the darkness, a pale sunset shone on the top of this full moon castle. Tyr was lost in thought as he looked at the room slightly bathed in red light until just before the door closed.
‘If the times are different, you can see such a big gap. Bridging this gap is also part of the fun, but we’ll have to reach the same place someday. Either I live a normal life or I become a vacation vampire.’
Even as she left her slight regret behind, Tyr tilted her head in confusion.
‘It’s a strange thing. Before, I thought it was okay to live an ordinary life. Now that I have vacation, I want to enjoy this time forever. Does it mean that when the situation changes, the wind also changes? . Next time, when I have enough time, I’ll have to discuss it with Hugh.’
That’s right. What will happen?
I’m not the type of person who makes any plans for the future either. As the situation changes, the wind also changes. Although my desire to find all demons has not changed, I am satisfied with the fact that my life is comfortable now.
‘… That would also be fun. hehehehe. ‘I never thought a time like this would come to me.’
In particular, Tyr is beautiful, powerful, and most of all, devoted to me. It’s not easy to get someone with absolute power who listens to all my requests and fulfills my desires. Being a mistress is a good job.
That’s right. Good. If you are an ordinary person, it would be okay to consider it the final destination of your life.
That is, if the final station stays the same.
As she lay her head on the bed, where Tyr’s faint body odor remained, and seemed to be asleep or awake, the door suddenly burst open. Lir Nightingale, carrying a small visiting bag, strode into the room, ignoring the fact that it was the founder’s room.
“I came because I heard there was a patient. Where is the patient?”
“Ugh.”
“… ? This time, it’s not even close to the patient. “He’s fine except that his energy is a little diminished.”
Lir, who diagnosed my condition in an instant, fiddled with the ampoule instead of the visit bag and asked.
“Would you like to have some blood for nutritional supplements?”
“I’m not a vampire….”
“It has been refined so that it can be consumed by humans. It has the effect of temporarily fooling the body into thinking that the blood volume has increased. “It’s a great way to perk up right away.”
“I just need a little rest, so please leave it alone…” .”
“It’s a good choice. “Time is a better medicine when it comes to regaining energy.”
Lir nodded his head, pulled out a chair, placed it where I could see him, and sat down.
“… But what about the trial?”
“The founder entrusted the health of his beloved concubine. She was informed that she did not have to participate in the trial for now. “Of course, they are discussing what to do with me even when I’m not around.”
“What do you think will happen?”
“I don’t know. It seems that the founder has no intention of punishing me, but I don’t know. One day, I too will be attacked by someone and die like my father.”
“Seeing as you’re talking about an unknown date, it looks like you won’t die right away…. I took a breath. “Then I will rest for a while.”
She seems to have realized that she, too, survived. I like it. Then, let’s sleep soundly in peace.
I fell asleep for a moment with my face pressed against the bed.
“Everyone slept!”
When I came to my senses, my mind was much clearer. I woke up in better condition and saw Lir sitting in the same position as before and asked.
“Are you awake?”
“How much sleep have I had now?”
“About three hours.”
Three hours. When Tyr says it, it may be a short period of time, but it’s only a blink of an eye. For humans, it is a time when they can improve their shattered condition. I was feeling sick for various reasons, but my health itself was fine, so I quickly came to my senses.
I checked my body condition by stretching appropriately.
“Okay. It’s refreshing. “I feel like I’m a little healthier.”
“My wife was healthy from the beginning. “She was probably the healthiest patient brought in with a penetrating stomach wound.”
“I didn’t have any minor illnesses, but I wasn’t this strong. “Has he reached his physical prime?”
Actually, it’s not the prime time. It was probably because there were excellent blood magicians nearby. There were hundreds of vampires, and I was influenced by them, so I guess my body was also affected, albeit slightly.
After checking the cards once, I pushed the remaining cards into my pocket and asked.
“Even though the Elder is dead, the principality is quiet. “I thought there would be complete chaos when I heard the news that Elder had died.”
“Because a principality is a country that survives under the power of its founder.”
“But Tyr has lost his power now, right? “Isn’t it worth making a little noise?”
Lir answered my question clearly.
“The power of the founder has not gone anywhere. The dominant power just hovers and stays within the founder’s body. Contrary to what his father had intended, he broke free from the bondage by going in circles on his own. “The founder reached new heights alone.”
“Alone? Who could have helped? “Like your father.”
“My father never helped anyone. Apart from that, it is impossible to help the founder.”
“Why are you so sure?”
“Who can demonstrate blood control skills equal to or better than the progenitor, and how can they help the progenitor objectively recognize and control his own blood? “It would only be possible if there were two founders.”
In other words, if there is anyone who helped, it could only be the founder Tirkanjaka himself. But since that couldn’t be possible, Tyr thought to himself, and that’s how Rir came to his conclusion.
… What? Is this the insight of the person who would later be called Uiseon? Even without physically touching the body, I can roughly read the blood flow. It’s not blood magic, it’s just a keen eye?
No, wait a minute. This is enough…. Maybe it would have been possible for a blood demon to be born even if it wasn’t Tyr.
But how did you do it?
“Wait a minute. Mr. Lyr Nightingale. “You seem to have a great ability to diagnose others.”
“You only need to know how to diagnose as much as necessary.”
“No, more than that. Mr. Lyr Nightingale. “You escaped the blood bondage, right?”
“That’s it. “It doesn’t have much meaning since the founder also threw off the shackles.”
“Tirya, even if we assume that the blood magic and the bondage of blood itself are one’s own power. “How did you get out of the loop?”
Ruskinia ordered Liir to kill her.
Accordingly, Liir tried to kill Ruskinia.
But it failed, and instead Baldamir killed Ruskinia. The reason is, according to what I read, Ruskinia, who had escaped her bondage, attempted to rebel against her founder.
Reverse Heaven Trial dot comI thought that many of my questions had been resolved through Ruskinia’s actions, but the biggest question I had remained.
How did Lir escape from the bondage?
“… That’s top secret. “It cannot be revealed without the founder’s permission.”
“Tir has already taken off his bridle. Now that Elder is at the top of the hierarchy, it doesn’t matter what I say. Plus, I’m your mistress.”
“That’s right…” “Let’s go.”
The founder has already escaped the bondage. The method is even somewhat similar to the method discovered by Ruskinia. Lir decided that there was no need to hide it from Tyr and me and opened her mouth.
“It is a cycle of dominance. Whatever the outcome, you just need to be able to exercise control over yourself through blood magic. It would be nice if you could force control inside yourself like the progenitor did…. It is nearly impossible for a vampire who has gained immortality through an external force called Jinhyeol to do it alone. So my father created a cycle through me. Dominance….”
No, I know roughly that part. Since I am a mind reader, I read your and Valdamir’s thoughts and figured out the truth to some extent.
I want the last piece.
Ruskinia’s heart, which can no longer be read after death.
“And what about you?”
“… Yes?”
“You took off the bridle too, right? What was your medium?”
There is only one thing I am curious about.
What did Ruskinia feel when she was freed from her bondage, even if only for a moment?
You can’t know because she’s already dead? You don’t need to know. All she has to do is look at her actions. The mind is nothing but a force that causes action.
“Why did Ruskinia let you out of bondage?”
What Ruskinia’s actions achieved is what matters.
It was at that moment that Liir realized what I was pointing out and was shocked.
I felt thoughts from outside. Something was approaching without any secret signs.
I also know that vampires are quite quiet and have a rare presence. Therefore, the vampire would deliberately reveal her presence and approach her by pretending to be popular. Because one must be polite to the progenitor or her mistress.
But now… There is clear hostility.
Tsk. That’s right too. There’s no way the world will just leave me alone. It might be a bit difficult.
I put my hand deep into my pocket and fiddled with the card.
—–
“… “Everyone’s opinions were listened to.”
As Tirkanjaka thought, a few days was not a long time for a vampire. These are the people who accepted the trial held 10 years after the Elder murder case. I didn’t feel impatient or anything because it was a few days late.
“Then let’s decide on Liir’s disposition after demonstrating her abilities. This concludes today’s discussion. “I don’t think there will be any objection.”
“O progenitor. Instead, I have a mantra to say.”
… The ‘Elder Murder Case’.
Suddenly. The door opened and an Elder walked in. Blood monk Dogo. Tuseung went in search of the truth and became a vampire after being promised eternal suffering. He was said to have to recuperate due to an injury, but ‘not long later’ he appeared in good condition without a single wound.
Dogo, who happened to take the place of Baldamir, who was absent, respectfully placed his hands together in front of the founder and looked around the audience.
“There is something that must be decided before Liir’s case. “It is several times more important and urgent than that.”
“What is that?”
Rather than an incident where a mere Yeiling threw off her bonds and killed an eccentric Elder, the progenitor Tir Kanzaka personally removed the bonds of her blood.
“Tirkanjaka. Our progenitor whose name is disaster. “The lord who will be our beginning and end.”
“… ?”
“We were bound by the bondage of blood and promised suffering because the bondage was strong and absolute.”
The vampires exchanged glances. Some people pretended not to notice and closed their eyes. Conspiracy, conspiracy, acquiescence, wait-and-see. Numerous political opinions are exchanged with pale expressions.
Vampires are cold. This is because the blood moves calmly.
Vampires are rational. Because there are no emotions.
Vampires are mechanical. Because it doesn’t act on a whim.
Vampires are blind. Because you can’t go against the run.
“One, I can’t feel anything about you right now. No surprise, no fear, no joy, no pain. “Not even strength.”
“It’s blasphemous. “Do you know what you are talking about?”
-All of those characteristics arise from the existence of an oppressive sect.
“Theravada Dogo, here we request a trial on your qualifications, Baio.”
How dare a descendant speak to the lord.
The dead dare to speak to the living.
How dare a believer… Putting God on the court and making a decision.
The trial of Yeokcheon was held.
