The now ruined city center of New Mexico was full of shabby barracks.
This is a residence hastily built by the Rando people who migrated to Earth to find a home.
Even though the Plomaria continent was assimilated to Earth, it did not mean that every single building was settled.
The only thing that was assimilated was the key terrain on the continent, such as the royal palace and territory.
Most of the houses where local residents lived disappeared during the transition to Earth.
“phew! “At this level, there shouldn’t be any problem avoiding the wind and rain, right?”
“The floor is a bit hard, but what does it mean to have a place to sleep?”
“Your Majesty will soon give you a proper home. “Let’s just wait until then.”
“I won’t sleep for a while. “What if I fall asleep once and never wake up again?”
There were no voices of dissatisfaction among the residents. No, on the contrary, they were happy.
It has to be that way. Because they are people who died once in ‘frozen time’ and recently came back to life.
I saved my life, but what if I lost my house? Life comes first at every level.
When the young people were smiling brightly and dreaming of starting over again -.
Ooooh-!!
Suddenly, a roar was heard from far away.
There was no Lando who did not notice that the roar was very similar to that of a dragon.
“…?!”
“What does this mean?!”
The sudden roar of the dragon immediately wiped the smiles off the people’s faces.
One of the young people who was looking around in panic pointed to the other side of the sky and shouted.
“Look over there!”
“Oh my god!”
“God Hilde-!”
just as expected. A dragon was really flying towards the royal capital.
A black dragon known as the top predator among the dragon clan!
The fluttering future that many people had dreamed of disappeared in an instant.
The citizens, shocked by the dragon’s intrusion, abandoned the barracks construction work and began to run wild.
“Holy shit! Were there dragons in this world too?!”
“Didn’t Captain Einfried’s unit go to the outskirts?! But a dragon is attacking the royal capital?”
“Find out the context later! The safety of our citizens comes first! “Go and stop it!”
The troops stationed in charge of security in the royal capital heard the commotion and rushed out.
However, I couldn’t help but look up at the black dragon gliding high in the sky and show disapproval.
‘Hoverun’, the commander of the central area, looked back at the castle and shouted.
“Use ballista and fire arrows to kill that-.”
However, Hoverun could not complete the order.
This is because two figures jumped out of the black dragon.
One was a white-haired man who seemed to be an Earthling I had never seen before.
And the other one…
“Ah, Captain Einfried?”
Hoverun, embarrassed, spoke the man’s name in a stuttering voice.
For a moment, I was relieved to see that it was Einfrit who appeared with the dragon in tow.
However, I quickly realized that there were more than one strange thing.
‘Your eyes have opened….’
Those blurry pupils, as if somewhere in the neural circuit was disconnected.
And an unusual atmosphere rising from all over.
What do we do? Should I block it? That was when Hoverun hesitated in making a decision.
Sereung-.
The sound of the magic sword grazing the scabbard echoed from Einfried’s waist.
Hoverun’s hesitation ended there.
“Go and stop it!”
“Yes yes…? but….”
The soldiers who heard the commander’s instructions reacted in confusion.
Splat!
Einfried took a step forward and stepped on the muddy water on the floor.
Hoverun’s complexion became pale when he saw the eerily shining sword light.
“You idiots! You can’t even see that! That’s not the knight commander you know! “Go and stop it!”
“Yes yes!”
Only then did the soldiers seem to have noticed something strange and rushed out.
At that moment, Einfried’s eyes, which had been filled with cloudy energy, suddenly glowed.
-Ruthlessly kill anyone who gets in your way.-
The command entered with the power of < Dominion > was activated from his submerged consciousness.
A heavy voice flowed from between the lips of Einfried, who held up the magic sword Hild.
“I follow orders.”
Suddenly!
As the magic sword draws a beautiful horizontal line in the air, the soldiers’ terrible screams and bloodshed follow.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!!!!
“Commander Ki has gone crazy!”
At this point, the soldiers completely recognized Einfried as an enemy.
They quickly reorganized the collapsed battle line and immediately surrounded Einfried.
“Wow-!!”
And they rushed in with shouts and swords. With the intention of making an iron skewer without even having a chance to feel pain.
Of course, Einfried was not one to be tolerated quietly.
“I follow orders.”
Mechanically repeating the same words, he swung the magic sword Hield in a large radius.
Kang-!
Some of the barrage of spear knives coming from all directions were defeated, but some were not.
Puff poop!
A day full of anticipation was deeply embedded in Einfried’s limbs.
Although he narrowly avoided hitting a vital spot, common sense would suggest that his injuries were serious enough to put his body in a state of disrepair.
In common sense.
Suddenly!
“Kwakeuk….”
However, Einfried’s current state was clearly unreasonable.
A solid line was drawn around his neck and the soldiers with their faces mutilated fell to the ground with blood foaming at their mouths.
Commands are carried out ‘even if it means death’. Even if his two arms that were supposed to swing the knife were pierced by the blade.
That is the power of the power of < domination >.
Ein Frit continued the massacre, ignoring his pain as if he were brushing dust off his collar.
“Hee hee….”
The soldiers lost their will to fight when they saw the knight commander running wild without any change in his expression even though blood was pouring all over his body.
The same goes for the people who were watching the situation from afar.
He earned the respect of all people, both adults and children, with the nickname ‘Hero of the Continent’. The sight of him slaughtering the soldiers of the empire was nothing short of a nightmare.
“God Hild. “What does this mean?”
Even Hover Rune was devastated and let his hand holding his sword hang down.
Deep!
At the same time, a huge flaming greatsword fell vertically and cut his body in half.
While Hoverun was dazed, Daesung suddenly took his life.
‘They said the royal castle had a triple layer of top-class defense shield.’
Daeseong brushed off the blood and flesh from his sword body and kept an eye on the giant castle erected in front of him.
The haze of defense that had gotten on his nerves now surrounded the fortress.
‘It’s a waste of time to cut them off one by one with a fireworks sword. The same applies to the flames of Rune Quiella. However, if you try to break through with the annihilation dragon’s light spray, the castle itself will be blown away. Then Envette Rosen will die too.’
To achieve his purpose, Envet Rosen must survive.
Daesung traced back memories of Sief, whom he had looked into yesterday through < Early Eyes >.
‘They said there is a magic device that operates the defense shield somewhere inside the castle. ‘I guess we can just let Einfried in there.’
Einfried, the knight commander, can bypass the defense shield and enter the castle.
Daeseong motioned to Einfried, who was standing in the middle of a pile of corpses, to come closer.
He then gave an additional command to disarm the shield through a magic device.
“I follow orders.”
After repeating the same words again, Einfried broke through the gate without hesitation.
Daesung took his eyes off the back figure slowly moving away and put a cigarette in his mouth.
Argh-?!
Knight Commander, why are you like this?
Stop it! Stop it! Go kill it!!
As I inadvertently pricked my ears, I could vividly hear the tragedy unfolding inside.
Daesung puffed out smoke. This was before the dull cigarette ash even reached the filter.
Slurp-.
The haze shield covering the fortress disappeared as quickly as the fog cleared.
‘You did a good job.’
Daesung bounced his butt and took his steps.
The wide open castle welcomed him.
***
The soldiers of the palace attacked without stopping, but in front of Daeseong and Einfried’s pincer attack, they were only swept away like fallen leaves blowing in the wind.
The two quickly arrived at the throne room at the top of the castle.
bang-!
“Protect Your Majesty!”
As soon as Daeseong kicked the entrance and broke it down, his guards rushed in.
There is no need to express what kind of end they met.
“You…”
Envet Rosen gritted his teeth as he watched Einfried step over the dead body of the guard.
Even in this situation, she did not lift her bottom from her throne.
“I don’t want to see this. wake up.”
Daeseong, who was very impressed by that noble appearance, picked up a spear that was lined up around him and threw it at the upper part of the throne.
The bloody spear blade loaded with magical power destroyed the golden throne in a cruel manner.
“Ugh…!”
Envet Rosen, who had no place to lean on, was forced to fall to the floor.
-Tuk.
When Daesung touched Einfried’s shoulder with a urging hand, he nodded.
Then, he walked up the stairs with great strides and without hesitation, roughly grabbed Envette Rosen by the hair.
“Huh-!! Einfrit you…!”
A sharp look of resentment and reprimand fell on Einfried. A look that conveys the meaning of how you could collude with the enemy and start a rebellion.
However, it is a pointless effort to target someone who has been reduced to a puppet.
“Pay for this sin with death, traitor!”
The moment when Envette Rosen’s thunderous shout resounded inside the throne room.
Crack!
A python-like vein stood out on her white and smooth skin.
Push!
Soon the veins, which had expanded to their limit, exploded. Blood gushing like a fountain from the holes in his body and splashing around Einfried’s eyes.
While he was hesitating, the scattered fresh blood coagulated and turned into a whip, which was held in Envette Rosen’s hand.
There is only one race that can freely handle such an excessive amount of fresh blood.
‘It was a vampire.’
I have also encountered several encounters in hell, where races from various dimensions inhabit.
This is the first time Daesung has learned that Envet Rosen’s true identity was a vampire.
Since she rules over Flor Maria, I naturally assumed she was a lando.
‘In Ciseph’s memories of her, she said that one day she suddenly came to the continent of Flormaria.’
He looked like he was covered in scars.
It is difficult to easily detect the identity of a vampire based on their appearance alone unless they intentionally make themselves known, such as by turning into a bat or showing themselves to be vampires.
Now that a woman who appears to be an outsider has invaded the territory of the continent, her Lando people have no choice but to treat her hostilely at first.
However, it is not long before all of her rando clans come to support her as their ruler.
‘Because her blood gave great power to the public.’
Whirling!
A whip made of blood wrapped around Einfried’s neck.
His body flew through the air and passed by Daesung. A loud noise rang out as it collided with the wall.
“Anyone who touches my blood loses all his powers. “He paralyzes the thought circuits that deal with power.”
match-!
Envet Rosen said, tautening the whip with both hands.
“If I have ever smelled blood, even if it is a god, I can automatically track it without exception.”
“You’re being needlessly kind. “Why do you explain everything to me?”
“I meant to tell you that even if you struggle, it’s no use!”
At the same time, the whip stretched out in exactly a straight line. Considering that a whip is a string-type weapon, this is a phenomenon that cannot physically occur.
As just mentioned, the whip automatically tracks anyone who smells blood even once.
‘Does not matter.’
Whether a whip comes or a guided missile comes, just ignore it and approach.
The moment when he was rushing towards her, avoiding the chase of her whip as if to show off her greatness.
“Where are you coming from?”
Envette Rosen snorted her laughter.
The blood flowing from her limbs formed a wet puddle at the bottom of the stairs.
Soon, countless red hands sprouted from the surface of the pool.
It doesn’t end there.
Red steam came out of her ears and mouth like a pump.
“If you’re going to come, come and see. “I wonder how you will die.”
“….”
The hand blocks the enemy’s movements, and the blood fog is used to take the lives of those caught in it like poison gas.
One way is to rush in recklessly. Hands and fog like that can’t easily take Daesung’s life.
But it was eerie.
Even though you know it’s annoying, why bother throwing yourself at it? There is a better way than that.
“Liberation of the dead soul.”
Hiyaaaaa-!!
The ghosts that emerged from the whirlpool poured towards Envette Rosen.
“…?!”
In this unexpected situation, before she could shout anything, she was surrounded by ghosts.
Ahh-!
The ghosts that flocked in like a swarm of bats began to viciously tear her dress.
“These guys…! no! “It’s not like a dress!”
The fog of blood did not work on the dead, even in hell.
Envet Rosen cried as loudly as he could, but the dead spirits showed no signs of stopping.
Her alluring evening dress became tattered and torn, and she was soon left lying about as if she had nothing on her clothes.
It was a scene that could have been seen as sensational, regardless of the situation.
Chi-ik-!
“Huh?! “Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
The sunlight streaming through the curtains and into the throne room burned her fair skin horribly.
Instead of a naked beauty, there is only a monster writhing and clutching at its corroding skin.
“I guess that dress was protecting you, a vampire, from the sunlight.”
It wasn’t something I knew or planned to do, I just happened to get lucky.
No, I can’t just say I’m lucky. It would be a big disaster if Envet Rosen dies like this.
Her Daesung approached her as she rolled around on the floor in pain.
Envet Rosen held his ankles with her trembling hands.
“Please save me… give me… you are in so much pain…”
“You and that bastard guide me to where Geumyeok is.”
“How did you do that…?”
“Isn’t directing water in time the way to escape pain as quickly as possible?”
Sigh-!
Daesung spoke coldly and violently grabbed Envette Rosen by the hair.
A scream never ceased from her mouth as she frowned. Since it would be difficult for her to even move in this condition, Daesung kindly decided to become her two legs.
“Just tell me the direction. “I will drag you away.”
***
After passing through the endless path of corpses, I came back down to the first floor of the palace.
As she moved away from the top closest to the sunlight, the screams gradually stopped coming from her mouth. Even so, I didn’t have the strength to resist.
“Stand here…”
“Sure.”
Daesung stopped at a certain point without letting go of her hair.
“If you want to go to that Geumyeok…”
“I know how to do it too.”
“….”
Daesung gestured to Einfried, who followed, to stand next to him.
The time has come to see results.
“Release the double space where the liquor line is drawn.”
“I follow orders.”
A double space with a liquor bar drawn on it. That place was the royal palace.
The same principle that previously concealed the path from Heaven to Sanctuary.
Only those with a specific mark can enter, or there are ways to enter by chanting, but in this case, it was the latter.
‘The chanting of the dead does not work.’
This is why Einfried was deliberately kept alive.
Because the language spoken by the dead did not contain any power.
“….”
Even though the command was given, Einfried did not immediately memorize the chant and glanced indifferently at Envet Rosen.
This was because there was a condition that Daeseong not disobey her words, but had to recite her chants with her.
“The Empress’s appearance is outrageous….”
Finally, Envet Rosen cried out in humiliation and recited her spell.
Let’s continue chanting with Einfried for a while.
[The chanting’s words release the double space.]
[The most secret place of the Unique Empire is revealed. The golden limit has been reached.]
[Contact with a coercive agent.]
There was a tremor everywhere and the space itself changed.
The antique interior disappeared completely, revealing an underground cavity filled with the stench of rotten water.
‘That’s it.’
The only thing that illuminates the underground cavity where not a single light enters is
It was a huge red liquor bar that filled the spacious interior.
Moreover, it was only a ‘part’ and not the whole.
The place where Daesung’s feet touched was in the middle of the suljin. The remaining border stretched out so far that it was impossible to capture it all at a glance.
‘It would be no use talking among ourselves here.’
Daeseong summoned ‘Gon’, the spirit of sound.
Envette Rosen was startled as the strange-looking spirit approached, but Gon didn’t care and breathed into her ear.
Then it flew out of the hole in the ceiling. It is a path connected to the ground revealed by the release of double space.
The spirit responds and resonates with the heart of the person who summons it.
The guy completely understood what Daesung wanted when he summoned him and made his move.
There was silence for about 5 minutes without any conversation. Just as Envet Rosen was about to ask why he didn’t say anything, Daesung opened his mouth.
She said, “Did you say that the entire continent lies on this suljin?”
“….”
“This must have absorbed the blood of the people and became the vitality of the four years. Am I right?”
“….”
Sreung-! Chi-ik-.
The heated blade of the Flame Greatsword was aimed at Envet Rosen’s neck.
To her, who was already suffering from sunlight, her ‘fire’ was an unbearable fear.
“Kwaaaak….”
“If you have no regrets in life, you don’t have to answer.”
“That’s right… you’re right! Everything was for my eternal life! So, take this away…!”
She, who desired the blood of all people in order to obtain her eternal life, would never give up her regrets about her life.
Envette Rosen confessed to her ingeniously, even knowing the parts she hadn’t even been asked about yet.
“But my blood… the blood stone made from my blood gave Youngmin strength! “In exchange for them giving me blood and life, I gave them mighty power!”
“Put it away. “If lifespan is decreasing, what is the meaning of strength and sleep?”
The Rando people are called a fighting race that uses swords and magic, but they were not able to use magic from the beginning.
They awakened their power after Envet Rosen arrived on the continent.
And it was after the bloodstone, a stone made from hardened blood, was distributed across the continent.
Vampires are a species that survives by sucking blood and use that blood as a weapon. If so, it was natural that the blood also contained some mysterious power.
“Yeah, they would have liked it. Even though they were outsiders, they gave strength to the powerless. That’s why he would have revered you as the ruler of the continent.”
“They are barbarians who lived without law on a barren land! “I sacrificed my blood to advance their civilization to the level of knowledge!”
“But will they still be grateful to you even if they know that the cost is their ‘lifespan’?”
Cold eyes turned to Envette Rosen.
“And stop rationalizing that you sacrificed blood or anything. “Isn’t the reason we gave power to Youngmin to raise them into higher creatures and gain pure life force?”
“….”
“They know that all the miracles you perform come from God Hild. But if the truth is like this… there is a high possibility that the Heald God is also an illusion you made up. “Am I right?”
Sief and Einfried knew about the existence of Geumyeok and Suljin and the fact that they were devouring Yeongmin’s lifespan.
However, he was merely tolerating the same ideology as Envette Rosen.
But even they didn’t know that she was a vampire.
I believed that she was able to demonstrate her miraculous powers because there really was a God of Heald.
“…I had no choice but to make up superstitions to hide the fact that I was a vampire.”
Envette Rosen bit her lip and wedged herself in.
I drew out all the answers I wanted from her.
Now all that’s left is
“Release the squad.”
“….”
“Whether you seek eternal life or invent superstitions is none of my business. But things are a little different now.”
It is not a problem that Daesung should be concerned about, other than the fact that a race living in another dimension is squeezing blood from the ruler.
That is, if Plomaria had not overlapped with Earth.
The negative effects of Suljin, which drains life force, will have the same negative effects on humanity.
“Don’t be a nuisance and just erase that. “This is the land where I and my people live.”
“….”
The blade was aimed at Envette Rosen again.
She has already painfully realized that Daesung is a person who can inflict torture worse than her death.
Eventually, Envet Rosen crawled up to her, placed her palms on her neck, and recited her spell.
[The drinking camp has been lifted.]
[The coercion that was covering the entire continent disappears.]
The markings that filled the cavity disappeared and a system message confirmed it.
After her alcohol completely disappeared, she lowered her head and sobbed.
Of course. Wouldn’t it be more surprising if she didn’t feel a sense of shame after destroying with her own hands the work she had dedicated her life to and was responsible for her entire life?
Of course, it is an evil act that cannot be forgiven for giving anything like sympathy.
Sigh-!
“Kwaaaak…!”
“Follow me.”
“Ha, you did what you were told! “Wasn’t it supposed to save me?!”
“that’s right. I have no intention of killing you. “I have no intention of punishing you with my own hands.”
Daesung pulled her hair again this time and left the gym.
Einfried followed him.
“There are others who will condemn you.”
There was no time to ask what that meant.
This is because sunlight was pouring down as soon as we left the cavity and entered the hallway connected to the palace terrace.
“Ughkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk-!”
Envet Rosen struggled and suffered like a child in a tantrum.
It was no different from dragging her naked body across her grill while being grabbed by her hair.
She can’t even remember where she is now and where she is being taken.
Then suddenly.
Daesung’s voice pierced my ears.
“Look down.”
“Huh huh huh huh…?”
She twisted her burnt limbs and slowly opened her tightly shut eyes.
The place Daeseong was brought to was a terrace with a clear view of the lower part of the fortress.
And under the terrace-.
“….”
The citizens of her empire gathered in front of her palace and looked up at her in bewilderment.
With eyes filled with just three emotions.
anger.
Disappointment.
Shock.
What is certain is that there was no ‘sympathy’ there.
Even though the ruler they once looked up to as an empress is now stripped bare from top to bottom and her flesh is burning away…
