Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 54

EP.54

The day after the Declaration of Silence.

I didn’t get a full night’s sleep because I woke up in the middle of the night yesterday, so I couldn’t wake up until Aji got irritated. In order to appease Aji, who is uncomfortable with his heart, he had to prepare a large meal from the morning.

I emptied the bowl first, and while I was slowly going down, I suddenly heard something like a scream from below. I looked up and saw that Finlay, who had invaded yesterday, was confronting a regressor.

No, the expression of confrontation was too moderate.

Because Finlay’s right arm had already fallen under the regressor’s sword.

“Tsk tsk. They said they couldn’t give me my habits.”

what the. I couldn’t let go of my old habit and cut off my arm again. I walked over to them with a big yawn.

“Haam. Trainee Shay, why did you cut off someone else’s arm again?”

Then Finlay grabbed his shoulder and widened his eyes.

‘also? Does this boy mean to cut off other people’s arms on a regular basis? no way!’

Surprisingly, reality always surpasses imagination. Although in my case it was an attempt.

At my point, the one-armed parasol frowned and made an excuse.

“It’s not my fault. Unexpected faces come to me out of nowhere, look at me and stretch out their hands.”

“I would have asked for a handshake. Did student Shay even swear to make the person who would shake hands with a body that needs a prosthetic arm? Why are you cutting off your arm like that? Do you have a hobby of collecting arms?”

“You can’t cut your hand just because I asked for a handshake. Who do you see as a psychopath?”

“Oh, how did you know?”

The gaze of the regressor is stinging. If the rays came out of the eyes, they would have cut off my arm. Hiding my arms behind my back, I added hastily.

“No honestly. Didn’t Trainee Shay try to cut off my arm too? A normal person will wave at you when you meet them, and will not cut your arm with a knife.”

“I didn’t cut it for no reason either. What did that vampire say? Why did he reach out to my chest and ask why a human being has true blood?”

“aha.”

I finally understood the inside story.

It seems that Finlay felt the energy of the blood of that noble ancestor and snooped around the first floor of the prison. Then, after encountering a regressor, he became angry, asking why a human or something had it.

Of course, the prickly regressor, Nari, could not stand still and watch Finlay reaching out. He swung his sword and cut off his arm, and the frightened uninvited guest grabbed his shoulder and ended up in that state.

It’s a plausible enough story. Understanding the situation, I nodded.

“Still, I am a guest of Tyrkanjaka trainees.”

“The thought came to me and I was about to cut my throat. You won’t die by simply cutting your throat.”

Because people are really bad The reason I didn’t kill him was because he wouldn’t die with it. what?

As a kind model citizen, I picked up the fallen arm and brought it to the arm of the uninvited guest. As the cut sections got closer, the blood water stretched as if it were a magnet and stuck to each other. Recovering his arm, Finlay stroked it and hesitantly backed away.

‘What is it? Conversing normally with a monster like that…!’

They are very wary of having cut their arm once… with nothing special.

No, it’s humanly right to be vigilant. There are so many strange people these days that I was confused for a while. Every time I stop by a restaurant, I encounter the limbs of immortals every day and play with the heart of a vampire who visits me every day, so my common sense is twisted.

Come to your senses. It becomes completely out of the ordinary.

I made up my mind and spoke rationally.

“But please be careful in the future. It’s fortunate that the other person is a vampire, but if it’s a normal human, you can’t attach it again.”

“I’d know this too if the other person was a normal human being.”

“yes? Didn’t you hear me? Then I am not human, so you tried to cut off my arm?”

“You said it was normal. How can you say that a guy who flicks an invisible sword with his fingers is normal?”

Hearing this, Finlay looked at me with a stunned face.

‘You deflected that sword strike with your finger? Who looks so normal? Unbelievable. It wasn’t a lie to say that he was the lord of Tantalus!’

It was not intended, but the illusion is accumulating in real time. Fear grows in Finlay’s eyes as he looks at me.

…It’s kind of fun, isn’t it? A nobleman of the night and a man who used to be strong around his neck had such an attitude towards a street magician. When will I be treated like this?

As for how fun it is, it’s similar to when you build a stone tower with stones of different shapes while walking down the street. It’s worth doing.

Is there anything more to build?

It was then. Aji, who had just finished eating his full breakfast and was walking slowly, saw a stranger in front of him, erased a smile from his mouth, and started growling.

Finlay was taken aback by the sudden hostility approaching from behind.

‘what? What is this ominous feeling?’

Finlay turned around. What he faced was Aji, the king of dogs, who rarely showed his teeth.

Aji walked slowly, her cheeks twitching as if something was uncomfortable and glaring at him.

hair stands up Aji’s and ours. The howl of the beast had an intense momentum that gripped the body. Finlay, who received it himself, was terrified.

“Grrr.”

‘Suin? Why is the beast looking at me and gnashing his teeth? What the hell is that? This more fundamental, blood-curdling fear…’

By the time Finlay’s body trembled and Aji’s growl grew sharper.

Aji’s feet twitched and I shouted just before he jumped up.

“Uh huh. Ajay! Leave it alone and come here!”

Hearing my voice, Aji turned his head to face me, then cast a wary look at Finlay and walked sideways to where I was. Aji stuck close to me and pointed at Finlay as if telling me.

“bruise. Woof woof. smell of blood. him that.”

It seems that the vampire, who is no more than the progenitor, secretly smells of blood. From Aji’s point of view, it would look like a dead human walking around.

Aji, whose sense of smell is several times greater, is bound to be more sensitive to the smell of blood than humans. Ahji is staring at me with a lot of nerves. If it wasn’t for me to mediate, that Finlay might have been dismantled.

I said while tickling Aji’s chin.

“know. I’m not that person either. They just came to play.”

“Woof woof. bruise. I don’t play with him.”

“He won’t want to play with you either, so bear with it.”

Just then, a good misunderstanding came. Let’s give Finlay a little bit of a sequence here, and I’m going to emphasize it a little bit.

I glanced at Finlay and deliberately emphasized certain words.

“If you’re a ‘dog king’, keep a little dignity like a ‘dog king’. What are you going to do if you react to each and every small thing like that?”

‘The Dog King!’

Realizing Aji’s true identity, Finlay gaped open.

‘Are you truly the dog king? The king of beasts closest to humans, said to have driven out humans by siding with humans in the past? The dog king like a pet dog…! After all, I was no slouch!’

I don’t know what, but dogs are basically pets. Even the wild hounds act cute in front of their masters. The king of dogs is also a dog, so it’s for pets.

Are there any dogs that aren’t pets? We decided to call it a wolf.

Is it because of my insignificant attitude anyway? Aji soon stopped paying attention to Finlay and clung to me.

“bruise. What are you doing today? rice? ball? Another play?”

“no. I’m not playing today either. I have work to do.”

“bruise!”

haha. I’ve accumulated enough to build illusions. Now Finlay is completely intimidated and won’t be able to pray. The swordsman who cut off his arm in unison, the dog king who was the vampire’s natural enemy. And even me, who handles them freely.

You will never ignore my words from now on, will you? They will be frightened by every gesture I make and follow my words.

It’s annoying to work, but you just found a good vampire slave. Use it until the blood drains out.

It was then.

“It just happened to be gathered.”

A dim presence opens the door and enters. The rolling darkness held up the pitch-black coffin, and the vampire, riding on the coffin as a palanquin, slowly approached.

In addition, he held onto Aji, who was about to become uncomfortable, and welcomed the vampire.

“Oh good morning. Did you get up early today?”

“okay. It just went well. They’re all gathered here, so there’s no need to go looking for them.”

The vampire, who looked down from the top of the coffin once in a while, held his chin upright and put his hands together. Then everyone in the room paused for a moment and began to look at the vampire.

From small hand gestures to everyone equally, the gaze handing out one piece at a time. The person facing him forgets himself for a moment and looks at the vampire. She naturally seemed to know how to get everyone’s attention. Is it natural charisma? Even if you don’t act calculated, your presence is revealed subtly.

Just like when a scented candle burns, even if you don’t notice it for a moment, you will smell the scent someday.

Just like when the music plays, you listen for a while even if you are chatting.

The vampire’s presence was faint, but at some point it filled the room. By the time I noticed, everyone was already focusing on the vampire’s lips and hand gestures.

“Woof woof? Aren’t you playing?”

I always talk about it, but I’m not a person who knows. fold.

Anyway, the vampire who caught everyone’s attention parted his lips and said.

“A word that needs to be spread widely needs to have many listeners. listen to finlay I will give you an answer to what you have been complaining about.”

A voice that is not much different from usual and an unchanging tone. However, the words of the vampire I heard now sounded exactly like the king’s order from before.

Finlay knelt down with a more impressed face.

“yes! It is very embarrassing to hear the order of the founder of Bulcho Finlay directly. Please hear me!”

Both me and the regressor hold their breath and watch the situation now. The vampire looked down at Finlay and declared.

“The other day, you appealed to me for permission to go to war. That is the answer.”

“I’ll be happy to accept whatever it is!”

“I will be silent.”

Finlay did not let out a sigh or disappointment. I just accepted it with my head bowed.

I must have landed here expecting a glorious temple. The best future he envisions is to go up to the ground with the founder, and the worst future is to become a lost child in the abyss. Finlay prepared for the worst for the best and fell into the abyss.

But even though that hope was shattered. Finlay was not at all disappointed.

rather.

“I’ll take it! Thanks for the answer!”

I was just thrilled to hear the answer itself.

Vampires in the lower ranks do not need to be persuaded or cared for. Just as there is no river flowing from the bottom to the top, there is nothing that the family can hand over to the blood lord. If you ask for an opinion, then you can only file a complaint.

“I will praise you for your hard work and explain it a little more.”

The vampire glanced at me and the regressor and added a little explanation. I realized that the description spoke for us, not for Finlay.

“I never forbade the boy, Valdamir, to go to war. In the first place, I never forced my will on my children. The war will be theirs and their decisions. I’m already lost in history. If they need me, I’m not going to step out and become a symbol.”

“I support you.”

“Thus, even if everything is ready, I will not be the first to advocate a blood battle. This is what I mean.”

“I support you.”

“then. now go back to earth This is not the place you are coming from.”

solemn command.

However, Finlay, who kept bowing his head in agreement, showed a different attitude this time.

“I apologize, sir. I cannot honor that command.”

“Why?”

It was impossible for a vampire to refuse the order of the founder. So, if your family members say you can’t do it, it’s not a matter of will. It’s a matter of ability.

So instead of rebuking Finlay, the vampire asked why. Finlay banged his head hard on the ground and shouted.

“I’m sorry! But that has nothing to do with my will. I have no means of getting out of the abyss! Because of this, I was dissatisfied and could not follow the command given by the founder. Please kill me!”

“No means to get out…? Are you not ready?”

“It wasn’t there from the beginning!”

‘It’s a well-known fact that going up is more laborious than coming down, but that doesn’t mean you’re not even ready to go back to the ground? I’m a little curious. What the hell happened outside that brought me to the abyss where there is no way out?’

The vampire’s agony was long, but that alone did not solve the question. The vampire’s curiosity soared. However, since he had already made his decision, the vampire did not hesitate to ask, lest further questioning would shake his resolve.

“Stay still. This is military territory, and there are people sent down to manage it. If so, I can send you out. Let’s see.”

Instead, her gaze turned to me. The vampire correctly pointed at me and spoke close to the order.

“Instructor. Finlay would not have committed the sin of coming here. It was a mistake and an accident that he came here. I hope to bring him back to earth.”

uh? me?

wait for a sec. what? Send that intruder back?

see me?

“yes? Me?”

“You mean there’s no one else here besides you?”

A vampire staring at me as if it were natural. When I met his gaze, a cold sweat broke out on my back.

No, I’m an instructor and I’m sleeping.

In fact, I am also a captured body?

“If the country of the military was the owner of this place, it would surely know how to get out. I ask Finlay to do so.”

No, if I knew a way out, I would have tried it first. Were you stuck here all along?

“I am Tirkanjaka, the founder. It is the only remaining karma among the disasters named Kanjaka, the monster that will devour the world. The best knights splattered blood in front of me, and many heroes died while aiming for this neck. Even though I fell and committed myself to the abyss, the things I did will not be overshadowed.”

“You are lost! My lord, this is nonsense! All the vampires on earth pay their respects to the ancestors, but such words…!”

No, why are you asking me for that? getting more and more confused

More than that, did you really not prepare at all to get out?

Then there was no reason to let that uninvited guest live, right?

“…there is no answer. is it difficult? If that doesn’t work, don’t ask for a personal connection. Please bring him back to the surface.”

The reason I couldn’t answer was because I didn’t have the ability to fulfill the request. It was when I was turning my head, sensing a crisis.

The vampire presumed that my silence meant rejection, and declared with a low voice.

“If you refuse, I intend to bring Finlay back to the surface myself. The bottomless pit is infinite, but the time I have is also eternity. Darkness is my territory, so if I keep going up, I will reach the ground. However, if Finlay is returned at that time, I don’t think he will ever come back here.”

Finlay suddenly raised his head, and the regressor stiffened his face in astonishment. Those words had one meaning.

I will go to earth and never return.

In other words, he meant that he would break out of prison if he did not comply with his demands.

It was a big deal.
