119 – Sprinkling CC ~
The existence that was nothing more than sealing even the Dragon Lord, the ‘despair of the human world’. That was Gar Gandoa.
Gar Gandoa had taken the lives of tens, hundreds, thousands, and perhaps even more beings. So many that not even he himself could count.
The more Gar Gandoa craved the sweet flowing blood, the stronger he became without end. That’s why even the Dragon Lord couldn’t destroy him.
So what about now?
Now, when he was endlessly supplied with blood from the gag residents?
The Dragon Lord was shocked and overturned, the monsters were too afraid to come out of their homes, and the invincible Dark Sword that made even the warriors tremble was complete.
“Well, that surprised me.”
[Did you think you could stop me with an attack like that? It’s too early for a thousand years!]
In front of the strongest Dark Sword, even the spider thread of the giant spider, known to be harder than steel wire, became weaker than cotton candy.
“Huh?”
Lian was extremely startled because he didn’t expect the giant spider to be right in front of him. Without realizing it, he threw the bundle of spider thread in his hand in front of his eyes.
The massive bundle of spider thread, which was enough to envelop Lian’s entire body, precisely pierced the eyes of the giant spider. The sturdy bundle of thread pierced through the fragile eyes like a soft candy.
[Crack!]
Like someone whose eyes were poked with a finger, the giant spider screamed and closed its eyes. Lian frowned at the sight of such a spider.
“It’s definitely creepy up close.”
Without responding to Lian’s comment, the black sword murmured in a calm voice.
[It’s quite tall.]
Lian’s right hand, which had been holding the black sword, began to twitch and move. The pattern on the back of his right hand, which had shown a brighter light than before, now started to shine brilliantly, as if trying to show a more sinister and murky darkness.
The dazzling pattern, which had appeared hazy to others in order to hide the presence of the black sword according to Lian’s intentions, now became clear.
Even those who had been searching for Shin (Lian) a moment ago were mesmerized by the shining pattern of the black sword.
Like swatting a fly flying in front of one’s eyes with a light tap of the hand, the black sword swung from left to right. The simple movement that felt monotonous appeared strangely magnificent and beautiful to others.
Everyone here was aware that “something extraordinary is happening,” but they couldn’t come to a conclusion about what exactly was happening.
As if to neatly organize the minds filled with question marks.
Jjaeo-eo-eok -…
The giant spider cleanly split in half horizontally, with the lower part sinking down and the upper part sliding to the side.
Puhwaak!
Blood gushed out through the split of the giant spider. The blood, which had been suppressed by the magic, was quite a delicacy for the black sword, so the blood that spewed out began to gather in the air.
Ssrruk -… The gathered blood naturally began to be sucked in by the black sword. It was an eerie scene beyond imagination. It was enough for someone to shout that Lian was a subordinate of the Demon King without it being strange.
But no one thought of Lian as an “evil” presence. The light that had brightly illuminated this place, which was no different from hell before the appearance of the black sword.
Beyond that warm and sacred light that lingered deep within their bodies, they could never call Lian “evil.”
Then how would you explain the chilling scene that made their whole body tremble?
While Pia shed tears of excitement, thinking of Lian as the world itself, without any doubts, others had the same question in their minds.
The incomprehensible terror could be fear or anger, but it could also be reverence.
They concluded that the reason for the incomprehensible situation was because Lian was a “divine being.” That way, everything would fit together like puzzle pieces.
Because the fear they felt was similar to reverence, their hearts, which had been filled with fear, suddenly turned into the heart of a worshiping devotee.

“Oh, huh? It’s different from what I expected.”
Lian anticipated that as soon as they saw the sinister-looking sword, which seemed to be greedily absorbing blood, they would be met with a gaze mixed with disgust. Contrary to that expectation, everyone looked at them with sparkling eyes full of admiration, so Lian maintained the expression of unease without summoning the demonic sword.
[Hmm! The taste of shooting is really delicious!]
The demonic sword sparkled ominously, as if it enjoyed the taste of the giant spider. This sparkling allure caused some people to lose themselves in a different sense.
The threat of the giant spider, the distant sacred power encountered for the first time, and the wicked aura of the demonic sword.
Everyone here had experienced too much at once, so they were all half-dazed. The only one who was somewhat sane was Pia. That’s why Lian approached Pia.
[Partner, entrust your body to me!]
“Huh? Why bother? I’ll take down the enemies.”
[Now is the perfect time! I won’t do anything that could be a threat to the others, so hurry!]
Lian handed over the reins to the voice that seemed like it would lie down and cry if not listened to. As a result, the loose atmosphere tightened in an instant.
Just like when Lian first appeared, the magical power of the demonic sword dominated everything around.
Clatter, clatter.
The sound of wooden clogs that the sword had wanted to tell so badly resounded in the quiet space, and Lian approached Pia, as if in a painting. Those present in the same place felt a thrill as if they had witnessed a scene from a myth.
“Pia, are you okay?”
Lian knelt in front of Pia, aligning their gaze, and asked softly. Then, Pia’s tear-streaked face trembled with a relieved expression.
“A… Ah, th…thank you, Lian.”
Although there was concern for the tear-streaked face, the face drenched in joy showed no sign of any suffering.
“Since everyone seems to have been healed by Hilo, I can just send them out right away.”
Afterwards, Lian quickly began to take care of the people who had either collapsed to the floor or lost consciousness. As Lian started moving, Pia also stood up from her seat and began to move. In an instant, a group of people was formed.
“Let’s take them through the passage we saw earlier.”
When Lian infiltrated the building, the ventilation ducts she had crawled through were connected not only to emergency exits but also to other secret locations.
“The problem is… we can’t get caught on the way there.”
Lian gathered everyone near the entrance and headed towards the place filled with glass capsules.
“The creatures we saw outside are probably inside these capsules, right?”
Lian thought of the melted monsters she had seen before entering this place and looked around. Since the monsters she had seen at that time were failed experiments, they were similar beings.
“If these guys are released all at once, it will cause a huge commotion, so let’s wait for that moment.”
Lian began to search for the button to open the glass capsules. There was no button-like thing on the glass capsules themselves.
“There must be a device to manipulate the capsules, like in the spider monster room… huh?”
Lian’s gaze then turned to a place far away. There, a machine similar to the one in front of the giant spider’s nest was placed. Lian smiled brightly and approached it.
“They said they captured something quite useful this time and are planning to extract blood and put it in the capsules.”
“What? Then the weapon will be complete…”
“It’s right within our reach.”
Four researchers were chatting in front of the elongated machine, like a tavern. Because the size of the machine was only as tall as a person, they didn’t notice Lian approaching.
“Once it’s complete…”
“The victory of the war will be ours.”
As they looked at each other and exchanged words, Lian quietly passed by the machine and looked around, examining it.
“Ah… in that case, I could become one of the demon army’s officers, right?”
“Of course. If we want to manage these combat vehicles in the long term, we absolutely need our strength.”
Lian wandered around the machines and suddenly noticed something, causing her to raise her head. A glass capsule was lying on its side. The ends of the capsule were connected by transparent pipes, which were attached to the floor.
“I don’t mind leaving after getting paid, but-“
“Then we’ll kill you to keep you quiet.”
“hehehe, indeed our research is as great and dangerous as that.”
Lian realized that the top of the glass capsule was open. When she opened the lid, she found it filled with transparent liquid. Curious about what it was used for, she hesitantly pushed her finger inside.
Sizzle…
“Huh?”
Instead of water, it turned out to be a highly dangerous substance that started to dissolve her skin. Blood started to burst out.
Wiiiiing, Wiiiing!
“What, what is this?!”
“This sound means-“
“The warning sound that indicates materials are being supplied to each capsule without removing the safety devices…”
“Why is this warning suddenly-!”
Those sitting in chairs immediately turned their attention to the machines, while those perched on the edge of the machines quickly got up and tried to find their positions.
Realizing that something major had happened, Lian silently backed away from the machine, extinguishing her presence in an instant.
“I couldn’t wake up the monsters, but it seems like I’ve succeeded in diverting their attention to another place.”
Since the hidden passage was very close, this level of commotion should be enough to escape. Lian quickly moved and arrived at the entrance of the giant spider’s nest.
“Everyone, follow me!”
“Yes!”
In the midst of a gloomy situation, Leean’s unwavering determination to move forward as if there was a clear path deepened the sense of unwavering faith. The back of Leean’s hand shimmered continuously.
[What’s wrong? Why do I feel so uneasy?]
Every time this happened, the Dark Sword shuddered with discomfort.
Shrrrk-…
At that moment, as Leean guided the group through a safe passage, the crimson blood poured out and began to spread through the transparent pipes into glass capsules.
The small glass capsule lying sideways, into which Leean had inserted his hand, was a device for delivering additional materials to each glass capsule.
Countless monsters, eagerly sucking the blood of the “gag resident,” awaited the human blood that would become the fundamental form of information.
