Infinite Mage - Chapter 817
The world they live in (1)
“It’s simple to use. When you press the button, heat is generated from the iron core. “This heat evaporates the blood.”
When Xenia, holding the blood cue, pressed the button with her thumb, a barrel rose from the edge.
“Suck this up.”
As she put the tube in her mouth and inhaled, a few strands of her silver hair stood up and her eyes became brighter.
“You eat blood.”
No matter how much you change the form, the facts
do not change.
“okay. “I’m also half vampire.”
Smoke mixed with the cool scent of menthol blew out from her mouth.
Grain said.
“Drinking blood is disgusting, so it was designed to be inhaled in vapor form. It also has the advantage of being effective quickly. “It permeates right through the capillaries.”
“Where do I get blood?”
“From humans. “By illegal means.”
The word illegal was not used.
“I won’t make the excuse that I couldn’t help it. However, when inhaling blood cue, Xenia’s sensitivity is enhanced by more than 100 times. “It’s enough to track all vampires within a 2 kilometer radius.”
When Xenia inhaled the blood cue again, her hair stood up even more and a few strands trembled.
“Seven vampires 700 meters northwest. Three at 900 meters south. “It’s also in the east.”
Fowler gritted his teeth.
“It’s quite a bat garden.”
“Recently, the number has been increasing even more. The number of Almas we have confirmed is already four. “Do you know what this means?”
Ryan answered.
“road.”
“okay. This means that one of the three vampire rulers is here in Rodenin. In other words, there is a chance to end this damn war.”
In order to annihilate the vampires that are being summoned through injection, the root must be killed.
Grain said.
“Fight with us. “It may be a price, but I actively cooperate in finding out your secret.”
“Do not worry. “Because I have already sworn to take responsibility for the death I created
.”
The Knight of Mach is a person who is on the list of candidates for the position of Great Swordsman among royalists.
The expressions of the Genocide party brightened after gaining a powerful ally, but Xenia was an exception.
“Talk to me.”
Grain spoke as Xenia went up to the first floor.
“It seems like you have something to say as the leader of the team. Just remember this. “She’s not a vampire.”
he added.
“And not even human.”
Xenia is a Silver Bone.
“I know.”
The blood cue, which evaporates and inhales foul blood, would have been a tool that showed her identity.
Lian, who left the group in the medical room, followed Xenia up to the cabin.
The door was open and she was looking up at the moon with her Obscura B sword drawn.
“What have you got to say?”
Xenia turned around.
“What is the reason for fighting demons? Is it hate? plural? Or is there another reason?”
It was an appropriate question for a half-demon.
“To protect the people I love.”
Xenia was lost in thought.
“And you? Why fight vampires? “If we have to hate someone, isn’t it human?”
Humans are the most exclusive species.
“It’s not wrong. Because both my parents were half-demon. It’s not that I don’t know about human hostility, but…
Xenia sneered.
“Are humans something to hate?” “As you know, humans, even half-horses, are no match for us. They are just prey. “It was not a human who killed my parents, but a vampire.”
The moonlight was cold.
“I just lived a normal life. Mom and Dad, sucking human blood and sometimes looking at the moon…
Xenia asked.
“Is it strange that you say it’s normal?”
“no. “It’s the same with humans anyway.” They live
normally, preying on numerous species .
“But they gave us a tragedy.”
“blood?”
“They call us mudbloods. They don’t know love. I can’t eat raw food itself. “It’s a virus.”
Her sword, Dark Blade, trembled.
“If humans are food for purebloods, then hybrids are insects they can’t even eat. In the end, her parents were taken away… When
Xenia tore her collar from both sides, a lightning-shaped wound was carved into her solar plexus.
“I was also subjected to all kinds of experiments. Even if you inhale blood cue, these wounds will not go away. It’s not my skin tissue. He massaged my stomach as he pleased. “Do you know that feeling?”
I felt like I knew because it was Rian.
“All of the members of Genocide lost someone precious to the vampire. Fowler had a wife, Grain had a daughter…
Xenia looked back at Lian.
“What have you lost? Fighting to protect your precious people? Then you are looking down on this floor. You have a unique constitution again. If you fall into their hands, you will end up in the same situation as me. “You won’t be able to endure it.”
It wasn’t Ryan who Xenia couldn’t trust, but all selfish people.
“No matter how hard it is, if you can console yourself, you are not ready to fight. To me, any proverb or poem in the world is just disgusting.”
It was a world of vampire hunters.
“I wanted to become stronger.”
Ryan spoke for the first time.
“There is someone I really want to protect. But he is much stronger than me.”
Is Sirone still fighting with the world?
“I think about how I can become stronger. But when that question comes to mind, I wonder what is strong this time. There were many answers, but none of them made sense.”
Xenia was listening silently.
“So I decided to just walk. “Every time I took a step, I felt like I was getting one step closer, so I just kept walking.”
That’s how I cut down 10,000 demons.
“From the end of the land in the north, we continued towards the house… and then we arrived at this place. Am I stronger now? “Can you protect your precious people?”
It was such a simple and ignorant method that it is hard to believe that he was a candidate for the position of Supreme Prosecutor.
“I don’t know yet. But even now I am walking straight. “Maybe I’ll find out when I get home.”
“What if you still don’t know what strength is?”
“I’m walking again.” I was expressing a vague feeling too easily.
“Strength means you are a swordsman too, but what kind of swordsmanship did you use, what kind of strength did you increase, or even did you read books or refer to the famous swordsman’s sayings… This was the only
thing I realized while crossing the desert.
“It won’t be that complicated. The reason it feels complicated is because I don’t understand. If I could walk through the whole world, if I could cut through everything in front of me…
Rian pulled out his sword.
“It means I can go anywhere.”
Xenia flew back as if levitating and stretched out her dark blade diagonally.
“From that point on, there’s only one place I have to go.”
Sirone.
“I’m returning to my lord.”
As a denial was applied to Lian’s body, he rushed towards Xenia with a movement that ignored inertia.
“Taha!”
Xenia spun around while avoiding the attack and swung her rapier towards the back of Lian’s neck.
‘what?’
As if his body had flipped from front to back, Li An had suddenly turned around and was raising the Dajikdo upward.
A clear iron voice erupted and the Dark Blade soared high into the sky.
Xenia lifted her head blankly, looking at the direction of the ink sword reflecting in the moonlight.
“Neither your situation nor mine are actually complicated. “Once you break through, everything becomes simple.”
It gets complicated when you don’t have the courage to do so.
“I have no intention of stopping. So don’t stop either.”
Rian, who caught the falling dark blade, reversed the blade with a graceful movement and held out the handle.
“ah??????
“If I try to stop, then you just have to hit my neck with this sword.”
Xenia, who had been staring at the outstretched handle for a long time, retrieved the Dark Blade as if snatching it.
“Hong, it’s quite good. But remember. I don’t believe in humans or vampires. “I only trust those I trust.”
Lian also felt relieved because he couldn’t caress her wounds every night.
“let’s go. “We have to wipe out the vampires.” When I returned to the cabin’s underground facility, my Noside group was having an early breakfast.
“Come on. “Did the conversation end well?”
When Xenia threw the dark blade, it stuck to the wide magnet on the wall.
“We reached an agreement on fighting together.”
It was a statement that left room, but Rian seemed different just because he had convinced Xenia.
“Come and sit down. “Eating is also important if you want to fight.”
The meeting was held with a menu consisting of boiled meat and fresh vegetables.
“Even when blood cue is inhaled, the location of the rod is not known.”
Fassette said.
“To know that, we must first capture the Almas class alive. But I heard the blood bank was closed?”
Ryan said.
“Maybe a vampire has infiltrated the royal castle. Because Almas can withstand sunlight. “I know someone in the security force, so I’ll ask and come back.”
I had to meet Benoff anyway.
“Are you okay? “Is it already morning?”
“It’s okay for a day.”
Xenia stretched and yawned.
“It won’t be more than a day from now on. “You’d better adapt quickly to the time difference.”
For vampire hunters, morning was sleep time.
“Sure.”
When I went out of the cabin, it was morning with sunlight pouring through the tree branches.
‘Is Irene okay?’
The memories of last night were as dark as a dream.
“Lord, I have asked for your blood.” A masker of the Almas rank arrived at the vampire’s hideout in Rodenin’s underground dormitory.
When Tempest, which was in charge of the blood bank, disappeared, he had to run around all night to fill his quota.
An old man who looked like he could no longer age looked away from a chair with an ugly bat carved on it.
It was Vampire Lord Benedict.
“Ugh!”
The reason you feel chills just by making eye contact is because he created you.
“It’s too late. “He was very angry.”
“sorry! Because the hunters were interfering…
“I don’t want to hear excuses.”
As his voice echoed through the dome-shaped space made of bricks, all of the Almas who were guarding his side fell to their knees.
“It’s impossible for an immortal being to be swayed by something like a human. “You could say it’s the vampire’s shame.”
Masker also had something to say.
“But the opponent is Silver Bone. And among the people I met was a knight of Maha.”
“Mach’s Knight?”
“You may not know this, but I am classified as Class One among humans.”
“It’s Class One.”
Vampires rule the night among humans, but even among humans, there are individuals that are particularly strong.
Class 1 was the highest level of vampire classification and was too much for just one Almas.
“Please pack up your troops. I will take another Almas and wipe them out.”
Benedict shook his head.
“There are more important things to do now. “Awakening the remaining two Lords from hibernation.”
It was the first time in 2,000 years that three Lords appeared in the world at the same time.
“Don’t worry about the hunters for the time being and focus on collecting more blood.”
Just as Masker was about to lower his head, a cold voice was heard from behind.
“It’s a different story if you’re a knight of Maha. He’s the one who defeated my comrade in arms, Park Nyeo.”
Benedict suddenly stood up.
“How could they end up in such a shabby place…
Faust, the original vampire and third-ranking member of the Ten Roads, appeared with a beautiful smile.
“See you Jinma!”
While dozens of vampires were kneeling, he looked up at the ceiling and muttered.
“That guy will be our last puzzle.”
