Chapter 70 – 070. Vampire Detective
070. Vampire Detective
“Stop! Detective Moon!”
Moon Ji-hyeok looks at me. A look of astonishment soon appeared on his face.
“Taker… ?!”
Moon Ji-hyuk sat down on the floor.
It must have been quite traumatic for her to know my true identity. But. We’ve been a bit friendly lately.
‘… Well, not only that, but her physical condition is also a mess.’
Moon Ji-hyeok’s eyes were shaking fiercely as he looked at me.
“…… That knife. Were you red light?”
I looked at the white flag. I wondered why this guy suddenly came out, maybe it was because of me.
“Right. I am red light.”
I replied with a smile.
Baek Sang-ki did not seem to have any greed for the marble of life according to the conversationheheard through the wiretap.
Feeding Moon Ji-hyeok the Orb of Life to turn him back into a human. This is the current purpose of the white flag.
“You were a human after all.”
I ignored Baeksanggi’s words and approached the Flower of Life.
The most important thing now is the flower of life. I have to protect the Flower of Life so that it can fully bear the 4 Orbs of Life. Of course, the most important thing is not to be taken away by someone else.
I kicked Moon Ji-hyeok to widen the distance. He was too close to the flower of life.
“Eup!”
I tried to get Yang Jung-min out of my arms. I tightened my grip on his mouth and held the knife to his neck. The cold feel of the knife calmed Yang Jung-min.
Moon Ji-hyeok could not get up easily. No matter how much a vampire’s recovery ability is, a few hours of rest will be able to properly demonstrate its power.
‘It’s not Moon Ji-hyeok that I have to worry about here. Doris and White Base. In particular, I feel that Baeksanggi is the most dangerous of all the guys I’ve met in this world.’
Doris was rolling her eyeballs. He has not yet fully grasped the current situation.
On the other hand, white flag is looking at me calmly. When I kicked Mun Ji-hyeok, I didn’t even give Moon Ji-hyeok the slightest glance.
‘…… Wasn’t Baek Sang-ki’s purpose to help Moon Ji-hyeok? Why are you looking at me like that?’
Baeksang raised his sword and pointed it at me. I frowned.
“What. Can’t you see there’s a hostage?”
“If I can kill you with one hostage, it’s cheap.”
“Weren’t you Moon Ji-hyeok’s colleague?”
“I was impressed by the will of the young man who was not corrupted by the power of the vampire. However, my goal is you. Red light. I didn’t know you were human… That’s why it’s rather dangerous.”
Baeksanggi laughs.
He was handsome as much as the actor who played him was a male idol. But that smile is somehow eerie.
The white flag came towards me and brandished his sword. I extended the Hwaryeonbido that was on Yang Jung-min’s neck to block the knife.
Kwak!
Yang Jung-min bit my left hand.
“Ouch!”
His left hand lost strength. Yang Jung-min ran away from my arms. The teeth marks are clear from how hard he bites.
“Mr. Jihyeok!”
“Oh, that.”
There was no time to complain, let alone pursue Yang Jung-min. Baek Sang-gi started swinging his sword at me in earnest.
Kang! Caang! Kang!
I frowned as I took the white sword. It wasn’t normal. If you cut off the tip of the sword and try to counterattack, the flow will undoubtedly be cut off.
The physical is similar to mine. I don’t think we’re going to win by pushing through physically.
‘End with Byeokgye(碧溪).’
I stepped back from the white flag and used the wall.
“Also. It’s an excellent swordsman.”
It was so simple that it was absurdly blocked.
I saw his eyes twinkle. The wall was clearly through. However, the result was the opposite.
‘Feeling. I felt my presence not with my eyes, but with my senses.’
Right after that, Baekki’s swordsmanship changed. The movement of the knife, which was nothing special, moves as if it were alive. Sensing a sense of dissimilarity, I slashed his sword hard and stepped back.
“My swordsmanship is the Holy Spirit Sword. Originally, it is a swordsmanship for the cultivation of the mind and body.”
I paused. I remember what Jin Se-young said earlier. He said that if an opponent reveals the name of a martial art, he should also identify himself. Is that the courtesy of a martial artist?
To be honest, I didn’t understand Jin Se-young’s words. However, it is not difficult to reveal the name of swordsmanship in this world.
“It’s the Youngcheon Stream.”
I glanced at Moon Ji-hyeok. Yang Jung-min is helping Mun Ji-hyeok down the mountain. Okay. This place is deep in Seoraksan Mountain. At Yang Jung-min’s pace, it would take 3 to 4 hours to descend the mountain, even if the route was correct.
‘Yang Jeong-min has followed me blindly, so he doesn’t know the way back. Perhaps he goes down a bit and gets lost.’
Just in case, I attached a transmitter to the hem of Yang Jung-min’s clothes. Wherever you run, it’s on my palm.
“Do you care about those young people?”
“I can’t let you live now that you’ve seen my face. And you too.”
Haha. How much is life and death with a prosecutor…. Feel so good. The moon is also bright, so it’s a perfect day to change one’s life.”
The white flag’s sword flies in a graceful trajectory. I was startled as I tried to counterattack by slashing my sword. Suddenly, the white flag’s sword was flying in the opposite direction.
‘I thought I missed the movement of the knife for a while?’
Respond quickly I hold the knife in reverse and cut off the white flag’s knife. However, it was a bit late. The white flag’s knife cut through my left forearm.
It bleeds, but it’s not a deep wound. There is no problem moving the arm.
‘It can’t be that I’m being hurt.’
Sunlight.
My sword draws a red trail and aims at the white flag’s neck. Baeksanggi slashed my sword from bottom to top with the tip of the hilt.
Haha.”
Whitebeard laughs out loud.
I couldn’t help but laugh. I didn’t think I could beat the white flag in my current state.
Kang! Caang! Kang!
It was a competition that I don’t know how many times it was.
My body was full of sweat and blood. From the outside, it wouldn’t be strange if he collapsed and died immediately, but in reality, all of them were shallow cuts.
White flag is also sweating. But blood didn’t shed like mine. Out of the 15 cuts I’ve had, Baek Ki has only been cut 3 times.
‘Damn. Even if I try to get a grenade or gun out of the inventory, they don’t give me any leeway.’
Feeling annoyed at the rough breathing, I looked for a gap in the white flag. There was no gap.
The swordsmanship of Seongri-geom itself is nothing special compared to Yeongcheon-ryu. However, the basic skills are thorough enough to vomit. Seongrigeom is a thorough defensive swordsmanship.
‘I’m saving my acceleration, but… That guy doesn’t even have power. He looks like he’ll win even if he uses acceleration… Uh?’
I opened my eyes wide. Suddenly, Doris appears in front of the Flower of Life and extends her hand. I moved faster than I thought.
Yeongcheon-ryu practical training Biho (飛虎).
Run like a tiger, grab the sword with both hands and swing it.
“Quaaaaagh!”
I didn’t stop there, aiming for Doris’ neck. Doris disappeared using teleportation.
“Gagging!”
I heard Doris scream in front of me to my right. When I turned my gaze there, there was a white flag behind Doris with a knife in her heart.
“Uh, how did you know I was coming here?!”
“I’ve seen it a couple of times. Every time you activate your supernatural power, your eyes move to where you want to go. After all, teleportation is all about being able to move within sight. I just predicted and hid myself in a tree. Stop dying, true blood.”
Baeksanggi lowered his sword. Doris’s body collapses below. Even if you are a true ancestor, it is impossible to survive in that situation.
“You also exterminated the blood demon. So, let’s continue….”
[Use acceleration. It stays on for 10 minutes.]
Yeongcheon-ryu practical training Biho (飛虎).
I increased my speed with acceleration and swung the sword with weight.
Even though the surprise attack was almost perfect, the white flag reacted without difficulty and defended with a sword. A shock rang out and the posture of the white flag was slightly disturbed.
I didn’t miss the gap and opened the attack.
After 10 minutes, the acceleration was released. Even though I used acceleration, I couldn’t kill the white flag.
“… Fuck. Why doesn’t everything work?”
He exhaled a hot breath and said angrily. A few minor attacks worked. However, all attacks that could be decisive blows were blocked.
“Red light. Your swordsmanship is excellent You can tell because the knife was divided. Your Youngcheon-ryu has an unfathomable depth.”
The white flag approaches me. He, like me, was exhausted.
“Swordsmanship is just swordsmanship. Red light.”
Once again, I ran towards the white flag. Baek Sang-gi skillfully moved his wrist holding the knife, took my knife and slashed it aside. It’s not swordsmanship or anything. It’s just a catch technique.
Baeksanggi stabbed a knife in my abdomen.
“It was fun. Red light. Thanks to you, I was able to completely cut off any remaining lingering attachments in this world.”
“…….”
Instead of falling, I took one more step forward. Then, he grabbed Baeksanggi by the collar and stabbed a knife in his chest.
I wrinkled my face.
“…… Why not avoid it?”
This could be avoided by simply removing the hilt and stepping back. However, the white flag did not escape.
“I want to be your companion. Red light. Wouldn’t it be lonely if I went to the underworld alone?”
The intent to kill welled up at that calm and weak attitude. I wanted to swing the knife right away and cut it to pieces.
“… Under.”
With a short sigh, I shoved him away and pulled out the knife stuck in my stomach. He collapsed on the floor and looked up at me.
“Thank you. Red light.”
What are you thankful for? I couldn’t understand and frowned.
“Sick.”
I used full recovery.
The well-wounded wounds all over the body disappear, and it recovers without leaving any traces of knife holes.
White’s eyes widen, and his mouth opens. That shocked expression was quite amusing.
However, that’s for a while.
Baek Sanggi soon returned to his calm expression and closed her eyes. There is a soft smile on her lips.
It looked like the face of an old man who had met a peaceful death. He was unlucky
I left the white flag behind and approached the flower of life.
Seeing the two Orbs of Life hanging from the Flower of Life, the annoyed mood is instantly relieved.
‘Hey~. The color is no joke. Really.’
I stared blankly at the flower of life, then came to my senses and changed my clothes.
You can’t come into contact with the Orb of Life while wearing filthy clothes drenched in blood and sweat. Who is responsible if it goes wrong?
‘Didn’t you say there were four in total? I don’t think it will take long…. Don’t wait What.’
I sat cross-legged right in front of the Flower of Life.
He did not let go of Hwaryeonbido. This is because it cannot be 100% guaranteed that there will be no variables like Baeksanggi.
‘Ah. Right. Where are Jeongmin Yang and Jihyeok Moon?’
Take the tracker from your inventory. It looks like a square pad the size of the palm of your hand. Turning on the tracker revealed the location of the transmitter.
‘I didn’t go as far as expected.’
Moon Ji-hyeok and Yang Jung-min were moving slowly. Judging by his appearance, he must have lost his way.
If you are in distress in the mountains, it is best to just calmly call 119 and ask for help.
‘Moon Ji-hyeok and Yang Jung-min are more likely not to ask for help. You must know that you will die by my hand after calling someone for no reason.’
Even if I reported it, it didn’t matter. My goal of ‘Vampire Detective’ is on the verge of being achieved. When I think of Yeong Hye-jung, Hera, and Choi Seon-mi, I still have lingering feelings, but it’s not to the point where I can’t lose sight of a vampire detective.
Looking at the flower of life, I remembered the battle with the white flag. I was annoyed. But it wasn’t that there wasn’t anything to learn.
‘I was better at swordsmanship itself.’
But I couldn’t win
I’ve been thinking about what could be the cause, but I can’t come to it. I felt like I should ask Jin Se-yeong later.
Time passed.
4 life beads formed on the flower of life.
When the flower of life planted on the ground was plucked out, it quickly withered and disappeared into dust. All I had left in my hand was 4 life orbs.
I put 4 rainbow-colored life orbs in a plastic bag and put them in my inventory.
“Purpose achieved!”
Clap clap clap!
As a sign of self-congratulation, they even clapped and stood up.
When I checked, Yang Jung-min and Moon Ji-hyeok were not far away. If I run with my physical ability, it’s a distance that I can catch up with in 30 minutes.
“Then. Shall we go to perform the sub mission?”
I ran through a dark mountain.
And I was able to find Yang Jung-min walking, supporting Moon Ji-hyeok’s shoulders. Moon Ji-hyeok’s steps are more stable than expected. It seems to have recovered somewhat.
Quietly turn to the side and outrun them.
“… Mr. Jungmin. I’m fine, so just run away. Over time, my body will recover on its own.”
“How can I leave Jihyeok? If the day is bright, call 119. By then, Taker… No, the red light must have escaped too.”
I laughed and stood in front of them.
“Why am I running away?”
