Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 201

EP.201 A land that flows like a river – 3

Humans have always been afraid of the night. The darkness that hides the enemy and the aggressor’s best friend, sleep. The things that came at night were all dangerous.

That is only when the night is not on our side.

If the eponymous Tirkanjaka is on our side, the night turns into a cozy and peaceful moment that envelops us in a veil of peace and quiet.

[The sun has set.]

As long as it’s dark everywhere, Tyr doesn’t have to sleep for a few days. Although her heart has regained her heartbeat and some of her functions have been restored, the power that still moves her body is blood manipulation.

However, among the discarded items, the power to withstand the sun was included.

Can not help it. At that time, it was too harsh to ask a girl who was barely surviving under the ground to have enough energy to withstand the sun.

As the sun set, Tyr came out of the coffin. With his red eyes shining, Tyr looked down at the world.

“You waited a long time. Now you can close your eyes. Darkness is my time and territory. I won’t let anything into it.”

Tyr proudly declared. At the same time, layers of darkness enveloped the area. Even the sparkling sunset beyond Seosan did not reach this place. Wouldn’t it be the sun that looks down on all things in the middle of the day? As long as they are at the same eye level, the darkness on this side is not affected by the languid sunlight.

Anyway, Tyr opened his eyes.

I was beaten.

“Tyr. Is it okay for a minute? That’s what we’re talking about.”

“okay. Ask me anything.”

“Since we have to check each other’s strength, can you explain each of your weaknesses?”

“…hmm?”

‘Weakness? Are you talking about my weakness? Why is that all of a sudden…? Aha, you look anxious. Then, as the eldest adult, it would be my duty to show my confidence.’

Overcome with a strange sense of duty, Tyr confidently declared under the cover of darkness.

“There are no weaknesses. I am Tirkanjaka, the founder, a being once feared by the whole world. Is there any fear in fear itself?”

“Isn’t that really the case? Even though you openly avoid the sunlight.”

Stunned by my questioning, Tyr made an excuse.

“It’s not a weakness, it’s a reluctance. Originally, even in the midday sun, I was able to walk around in the dark, and now that I have recovered my heart, there is no problem with my bare body. I just took a break to gather strength for an important fight.”

“Isn’t that a weakness?”

‘It’s true that there are restrictions on movement under the sunlight, but to say it’s a weakness.’

It seems you don’t know what this person’s weakness means. Isn’t the limitation of movement in sunlight a weakness?

Tyr, oblivious to my feelings, raised his slender shoulders and boasted.

“I am not afraid of the sun at all. To a vampire, the sun’s rays are nothing more than stinging raindrops. I don’t know if it’s a low-class Ain or Yaling, but Elder can survive under the sun, and to me, the founder, it’s just an annoyance…” “You’re asking to know your strength

. Do you use your strength well or not well under the sun? Please answer yes or no.”

Wouldn’t even a little bit of stinging raindrops make a hole in your body if it rained down all day? Wouldn’t it be an error at a prickly point in the first place?

Tyr hesitated for a moment and then said, averting his gaze.

“…it’s positive.”

“Okay check. It weakens in sunlight.”

“However, that was the story before I got my heart back. Now they can exert equal power. What you need to worry about…”

“That’s possible because the power doesn’t come out of the body. If blood crafting could be used outside of the body, legions would have been walking around at night instead of scavengers.”

“…eww.”

In fact, Tyr didn’t add anything to the bombing. While I was putting it off, I decided to dig into the facts a little more under the guise of figuring out my military power.

“If you fight during the day, how long can you deal with the darkness?”

“How can you measure sheep in the dark? My darkness is infinite and will not dry until the next night comes.”

uh? weird. Why are you sincere?

Clearly Tyr sincerely believes so.

But something is strange. If there are no limits, there is no reason to conserve energy for the day. Are you serious when you say that you don’t dry up even though you know that you have limits?

Oh wait.

“Tyr. Are you saying that because you have a limit, but you’ve never been particularly skinny?”

“You can think of that. Even the longest day is not enough to drain all my darkness. It’s enough to protect you and me, Shay.

That’s right, there is a limit to the capacity!

“Ttaek! Then, at the critical moment, the darkness runs out and what if you are in danger! You want to turn me into a vampire like that? Did you mean to kill them on purpose and then force them to become naturalized vampires, saying that there was nothing they could do about it?!”

“…That can’t be, can’t it?”

‘I will only live your resentment if I make you into a vampire in an unnatural way. I will do my best to protect you.

Vampire death insurance is reliable. My heart is so happy

But before that, can’t you just make sure I don’t die? If you have a mind like that, you might let the bullets fly in the moment of crisis.

Anyway, I decided to seriously investigate the power.

“For us to be safe, we need to be clear about each other’s weaknesses or limitations. Be honest. How much darkness can I use?”

“How can you measure the darkness? However, today I gathered my strength by capturing the darkness all day. Even if a fierce battle ensues, it should be able to spray it until the sun sets… I don’t know if Seonghwangcheong uses some strange trick.”

“What if I use up all the darkness?”

“Even so, my body remains, so all I have to do is crush the enemies one by one.”

“all right. Now the dark part has been confirmed.”

‘…I’m pretty unreliable. It seems that his mind and body have become unstable due to his long life of escape. I can’t. I have to trust him so he won’t feel anxious.’

no it’s not like that It’s a really simple power survey, so don’t make a false report. If I believe that myself, I might be fooled too.

“Now what about your other weaknesses?”

“If you are not afraid of even the sunlight, what other weaknesses do you have?”

Eh? really? As far as I know, vampires have a few more weaknesses.

Why are you sincere? It’s a boast, but even if you say that, do you really not remember any of your weaknesses?

“No Tyr. The whole world knows Tyr’s weakness, but what does he say he doesn’t have?”

“It is strange. How can the whole world know about a weakness that even I don’t know about?”

“Heaven knows, earth knows, I know, even elementary school students know. Maybe even Aji, who has become smarter these days.”

For a long time, vampires were man’s greatest fear.

There were many complex circumstances intertwined to simply say that it was an enemy.

Vampires were once human and needed fresh human blood to survive. Although he despised the body that desperately wanted blood, he did not want to abandon his perfect body. Time does not wear them down, and even beasts shun them. However, their end always appeared in human form.

Humans were the exact opposite of vampires. An existence that can become a vampire at any time while being the prey of vampires. Humans hated vampires, but on the other hand, they envied them for being half immortal, and sometimes when an opportunity to become a vampire came to them, they considered it lucky and accepted it.

A bizarre relationship in which one is subordinate to the other from birth to death while being both predator and prey.

Awe entails curiosity. Humans have always tried to learn more about vampires. He pursued the truth while harboring illusions and filled the gap with knowledge.

But the irony is that only Sijo does not know.

“It is ironic. I am the beginning of all vampires and their tribal god. Are you saying there is a vampire weakness that I don’t know about?”

“That is what I am going to say. Whoa. It won’t work.”

Let’s try it out once again. I turned and called the regressor.

“Miss Shay! Come here for a second!”

“Wait a minute. Just look at the butterflies.”

Coincidentally, the regressor was busy taking care of the butterfly.

It was the butterflies rather than me who were tired of the long life of escapism. The butterfly inside the box was on high alert and would hiss whenever a non-regressor came close.

Even now, if it weren’t for the friendly regressor, the food in his hand, and the magical herb made from the leaves of the world tree, he might have turned the table a few times.

The regressor who closed the lid of the box shook his head and made a pitiful expression.

“It is difficult. Maybe it’s because he’s the king of cats, so he doesn’t seem to like long-distance travel… It would be better if he stays in a peaceful and quiet place.”

“I decided to abandon it somewhere and deal with the immediate task first. between humans.”

“Malbonsae is… yes. What is the challenge at hand?”

After all, regressors are the main force of this party.

One response ability is like a little all-purpose medicine that no one can follow. If you want to figure out your strength, it would be better to work with a regressor.

“Mr Shay. Do you know the vampire’s weakness?”

“Of course you know. Isn’t it sunlight?”

“Anything but that?”

“Salt and spices. Garlic, for example.”

Tyr lightly frowned and denied it.

“gibberish. I am not afraid of that.”

‘It’s true that I hate the sun. Seonghwangcheong also took full advantage of that and put me in trouble. But I’m not afraid of salt and spices. I’ve never encountered it in the first place.’

At this point I realized what Tyr’s problem was.

Ah, some folk remedies haven’t been passed on to Tyr. Is it because he always led an army?

The explanation is left to the regressor. Listen to how to deal with vampires that even beginners know.

“uh? But I’ve heard that vampires are blood-powered creatures and don’t like the kind of spice that dissolves in blood. So, on the contrary, poison that is fatal in small amounts is not very effective, and instead, it is very difficult to sprinkle a lot of salt.”

“It is absurd. Speaking of vampires, they are beings that control blood. How can you say that you hate salt, which is not poison that clumps in your blood?”

While you’re talking, try this. I put a little salt on the back of my hand that I had taken out for cooking and held it out toward Tyr. Tyr tilted his head and replied.

“Could it be salt?”

“yes. Why don’t you try it once in a while? As long as it’s not a weakness, that’s fine.”

Tyr was dumbfounded, unable to put the white salt in his mouth. I pushed it out even more, as if to say something about it.

‘Isn’t it like kissing the back of the hand? You’re bold… although the roles have changed.’

No, it wasn’t because I hated salt.

After looking around for a bit, he put his tongue on the back of my hand as if he had made up his mind. The small tongue lightly touched the white salt and then it fell.

Immediately afterwards, Tyr frowned at the uneasy sensation.

“It doesn’t taste… it doesn’t.”

“Tyr can’t taste it. Someone who can only taste blood.”

“Yes. I’m reluctant. It does not match my blood.”

“That’s a weak point.”

“different. This is a matter of taste and preference…”

“Evie.”

“Kyaa.”

When I pushed the salt toward Tyr, who refused to admit it to the end, he threw his head back as if he had seen an insect. Tyr, who screamed uncharacteristically cutely, froze in that state and stood still.

look at this later I recognized it from the time I cried, saying my blood was tasteless. The taste is tricky.

“Tyr. Knowledge about vampires has not been well known, so it has spread to novels and paintings. You can’t be careless. The three things people fear the most are compatibility, mama, and vampires. I mean everyone in the world shared it. Even Shay knows.”

“wait for a sec. I feel a little malice in saying that even I know.”

However, Tyr nodded slowly to see if he agreed with my words, then stopped when the regressor turned his head.

Turning away from the regressor who was staring at him, Tyr cleared his throat slightly and shook off his gaze and looked at me.

“okay. Let’s say I don’t like salt. What does it matter? How could anyone feed me salt?”

“You can’t be careless about that. A military state is a country that uses all available means without hesitation.”

If there is a weakness, there is no reason not to target it. Not only is it reasonable, but it’s an opponent that you can’t easily defeat otherwise.

I erased the mischief from my face and spoke with an infinitely serious attitude.

“Today’s raid is a search battle. It was probably intended to drain Tyr’s power. Fortunately, I was able to drive it out with only Shay’s power, but attacking with all my might and searching are different. You have to plan before they come. It’s too late by then.”
