Vampire Rise (1)
Pajijijijik-! Dismissed—!
A spark more fierce than anything that has ever happened.
At that unusual reaction, Heinz, who had been consistently pushing his opponent, took a step back with a firm expression on his face.
‘Somehow, it was too easy.’
Just a little while ago, the fight with Obaipo was progressing more easily than expected.
He and Heinz share the same rank.
Among them, if I had to share high and low, I had to go higher on the side of Obipo, who had lived for a long time, but Heinz’s overwhelming specs were so overwhelming that the difference could easily be ignored.
Aside from the influence of various other skills, the status as a species that has been elevated through [Mixed-Blood Evolution] is so different that it is embarrassing to put the two in the same species category.
Even when compared to Holy Blood, which can be said to be the pinnacle of vampires, there is more than twice as much gap.
‘At this level, it’s rather strange to lose.’
Based on the superiority of such specs, Heinz thoroughly pushed Overby Four.
His will and blood magic clashed relentlessly, and at the same time physical clashes were repeated.
If he had continued as it was, he would have been able to subdue him safely after a while…
Hold it—! Quaang—!
A spark bounced from a much closer place than before, and the two Holy Bloods collided again, and a strong shock wave swept through the surroundings.
His territory was pushed out by the expanding consciousness centered on Obipo, and he was gradually put on the defensive.
‘Is it phase 2?’
Apparently, he had no intention of giving up.
“Big — I, Obai Po is the king of all the vampires in the world. I don’t know why the source’s ‘authority of blood’ doesn’t work for you…”
The power that continues to rise even at the moment of repeated collisions.
At that, the old vampire wriggled his whole body and muttered lowly with a distorted face.
“No, wait… You guys can’t…”
He murmured to himself like that, then let out a sigh as if he had realized something, and then glared at Heinz, who was standing in front of him with narrowed eyes.
“…Yes, you are a traitor. I’m sure I’ve heard of it… They said that a guy who suddenly appeared took control of the Brokoslak Clan in an instant and ascended to the top…”
Another round of battles came and went.
Even in the midst of that, his momentum, which had exploded terribly, was already over five times the previous one.
In the aftermath, the overworked body was being destroyed little by little, but as if even that was not the end, the increase in strength showed no signs of stopping.
“It was, it was… I don’t know what method it is, but it looks like you’ve found a way to resist your bloodline… Are you trying to usurp even this throne with that ability this time…?”
As if possessed by something, Obipo muttered something incomprehensible.
However, even Heinz, who was diligently defending the realm of will, suddenly realized one thing.
‘Ah, I’ve been feeling something tickling since before.’
I was focused on the fight, and the reaction was too weak, so I didn’t pay much attention to it, wondering if it was the excitement of the battle.
Now that I think about it, it seems that what was wriggling inside him was the part affected by what he called the ‘authority of blood’.
“Right. Is this aura all heat? So, that’s all the remaining veins. I never thought I could use the power of other veins like this.”
“Keuhehehe… Have you noticed now? Yes, I am the one who inherits the veins of the source… The owner of ten of the twelve veins is this Obipo…!”
Heinz’s body bounced backwards with the raging force that continued to expand from his body.
Originally, those forces that could not be put together were forcibly pulled up, raising the level of the Obaipo.
“How is that possible? If you forcibly use other blood veins, especially the blood left by the Holy Blood, it won’t just end with mental contamination.”
Heinz, who had barely managed to keep his body from bouncing off, frowned and opened his mouth.
Of course, since he himself was immune to mind contamination, he had already ordered his men to search for it.
Although he’s been through quite a while, he hasn’t been able to find a single one so far.
‘Maybe it was because he had already recovered everything.’
Somehow, even though he absorbed all the remnants of other clans, no one knew about his whereabouts.
He seemed to have thoroughly committed himself to killing and extinction.
Hold it—! Chow!
And in the middle of a conversation like that.
Even though he evaded it by using 「Denial of Existence」, Heinz got a fairly large effective hit.
The wound on his thigh, which had been on the verge of amputation, regenerated in the blink of an eye, but this wasn’t a good sign as his momentum continued to rise.
“Ah… Now things seem to be going right…! How is that possible? Isn’t that natural… Because this body is the king that will stand above all vampires…!”
Heinz’ expression slightly frowned at that self-congratulation, but then he returned.
He seemed unwilling to give a proper answer, but he had some guesses with him.
‘The ability that I got when I vamped the vampires of the Obipo clan was 「Convergence」. Judging from how it was absorbed into “Mixed-Blood Evolution”, Is it a similar sub-power? It must have been a vision devised roughly in connection with that.’
It wasn’t as good as bloodline ability called in other dimensions, but each bloodline had some specialty.
The Brokoslak Clan, which engulfed a country with its ‘Blood Gate’, which only the Yupersh Clan could use, and its unusual mental abilities, were also part of it.
Dismissed—! Kwaaang!
This time the blow was quite large.
The entire area around the shoulder, including the collarbone, was blown off and was restored in an instant.
After all, I needed to hurry up and do something.
“You are a traitor… You, who have gone against the will of the source, do not deserve to be my subject, so I will kill you right here…”
Oba Ipo licking the blood off his hands, smiling confidently at his apparent superiority.
I had no intention of becoming a servant in the first place, but I was excited by myself.
Rather, that now…
“Big! Cuckoo—!”
Jurreureuk- iron puk!
In an instant, his face turned pale, and he vomited up a pile of blood.
At the same time, the realm of his thoughts, which had been pushed roughly, staggered, and he began to shrink again in an instant.
‘Ah, too. Is that a vampire habit? After all, it’s the easiest and fastest way to figure out who you are.’
He had already experienced it several times, but his blood that had not been filtered through [Purified blood essence] was deadly poison to vampires… No, it was no different from radioactivity.
However, I drank it while trying to force myself to draw other powers.
“Puuu! What the hell is this…! What the hell are you…! Broccoli slack? Upersh? No, no… A power so far from the source…?”
Blood began to flow from his nose as well as from his mouth.
“Ah— I guess that’s why… The reason why the authority of blood veins didn’t work…! How unclean blood is this…? This is heresy beyond traitors…!”
“You talk too much. It’s just that it has a little bit of personality. My roots are still here.”
Just like that.
From noble mtl dot com
Heinz’s basis as a vampire was the Brokoslak lineage, and the reason he reached Holy Blood was to extort Upersh’s true blood.
Of course, among the parts that make up him, it was bound to be the most important.
To put it mildly, about 40 percent?
Of course, most of them have been mutated due to various factors, so not much of the pure part of the initial state remains.
‘Is that about… 5 percent?’
Looking at the reaction in my body toward him, it might be less than that.
‘Rather than that, it’s the origin.’
A great one that unites the bloodlines of the first born.
Such was the source of what Obaipo was talking about.
The virtual bloodline that is the basis of the race called ‘vampire’ before splitting into twelve.
It was a fantasy-like story that if they completed it and made it completely one, they would become the king who ruled over all vampires, and they would have the power to surpass even the Immortal King.
‘Under!’
However.
From Heinz’s point of view, it could only be laughed at.
That would be too…
‘Actually, it’s the beginning and source of all bloodlines in Auterica, and on a dimensional scale, it’s only one branch of the innumerable vampire sects.’
A race that uses vampiric factors as the basis of its power to extort the blood of others to become stronger, has a thorough class system, and gains power through infection.
Such vampires were treated as contagious diseases or germs in many worlds, but they were also a fairly common race in many dimensions, just like humans, elves, and dragons.
‘I don’t know if there is a separate network of divine beings exchanging information between dimensions.’
And, perhaps because of their unique ecological structure, among many races, the change according to the dimension was extreme.
As if a real virus had adapted to the environment and mutated.
“He called himself a king. Can’t you just stand that much?”
“Keuuu, you bastard…!”
Heinz, who raised his head and laughed at him for being ridiculous, looked down on him as he struggled to keep himself together and threw a mockery at him.
If the origin he is talking about is the archetype of the vampire, and if it means taking all the strengths by tying the divided branches into one.
And if you call the person who became the owner ‘King’.
Not just Auterica, but what should I call him who absorbed all the strengths of numerous vampire factions derived from all dimensions?
What about Heinz II, who has already surpassed the original stream and evolved the closest to perfection?
In this case, the word that can modify him is…
“Puh—yes, then I should be called the emperor.”
Also, that was all there was.
A word spat out like a joke.
But above all, it was also a modifier that infinitely touched the truth.
“Speaking of bullsh*t…!”
Of course, it was only seen as a mockery of himself by Obipo.
And he, who had been shaking with anger for a while, suddenly stopped.
“Keuhehehe… Ah, yes… You mean the emperor…?”
Soon, he started to let out a sinister laugh.
“Did I say hybrid…? It looks like a lot of your men have arrived in this city right now…”
The number of elites who started with Heinz at first was only about 100, but if additional troops entered through the bloodline were included, the number increased several times.
They continued to harass Clan Obaipo and the Republic’s defenders, buying time.
“Where, let’s take a look at the emperor’s authority…!”
Immediately after saying that.
Oba Ipo immediately raised his head and let out a roar with a strange echo towards the sky.
[“Hybrids, come here—! Come, kill your false king and greet the true king—!”]
A powerful wave of blood magic that only affects vampires swept across the city of Uletor in an instant.
With absolute control that can never be denied if within range.
‘I can’t help that mutant heretic, but those subordinates will be different…! Kill the subordinates you trusted so much with your own hands…!’
My stomach twisted again because I was overdoing it again, but considering the consequences of doing so, this was not a particularly big loss.
Having uttered such a confident cry, Obaipo looked at Heinz with a meaningful smile—.
Heinz also met his gaze with a sullen attitude.
“…?”
Silence that followed.
And while a little time passes.
There was not a single hybrid vampire coming here.
Really not even one.
‘Why···?’
Obaipo’s face twisted strangely.
Having come into direct contact with the blood, he could understand that Heinz was out of his control.
But aren’t the circumstances of the vampires under him different?
‘My orders don’t even work for guys at that level?’
At this point, he couldn’t help but feel skeptical about whether he could really cover all the veins as he had calculated.
The basis for his ambition and his faith were shaking from the root.
“Why? Isn’t that what you think?”
Heinz’s ridicule flickered in his ears, but he didn’t even have the time to care about it now.
‘I can’t do that. It can’t be…!’
How many years have you put into this?
He goes on a journey to collect the legacy as well as study them until they can be put to practical use.
He is willing to experiment with his own body and has sold out for thousands of years.
But what does the result look like?
As I thought that the thousands of years of hard work had been meaningless, the small despair that bloomed in my heart grew bigger and spread like poison.
“Huh… Heh heh…”
Oba Ipo, who lowered his head, let out a dejected laugh as his body stretched.
Regardless of his mood, the power that constantly surged from within his body lifted him up endlessly and protected his distracted body…
‘It’s meaningless.’
His body, which had been collapsing from the excessive concentration of power, was now collapsing to the extent that it could be seen at a glance due to the toxicity in Heinz’s blood and his repeated unreasonable actions.
In order to live, he had to bring down this power and stabilize it, but if that happened, he would have no chance of winning.
Obaipo’s empty gaze, which had been watching his own body falling apart, returned to Heinz.
‘Heinz Hybrid II, the ruler of the Kingdom of Thalia and the ruler of the hybrid vampire clans.’
A bloodline that is a mixture of all kinds of unknown bloodlines.
The body of heresy who dared to reject the source and seek transformation.
And, a body that has near-ultimate perfection and the best quality.
Unlike his body, which was constantly being crushed by the strong current, it was literally the most appropriate vessel to contain the source.
‘…Yes, I’ll admit it.’
The character of your body far surpasses mine.
If it were you, you might be able to handle the power that is too much for my pitiful body.
If so, wouldn’t it be possible to properly demonstrate the authority of the source?
Okay.
Therefore-.
Give that body to me!
Pajijijijik-!
The moment when a spark stronger than ever swayed fiercely.
Obipo ignored his collapsing body and recklessly attacked Heinz.
There was nothing that could stop him from burning everything while ignoring the rest of his life.
‘I should be grateful to the revolutionaries.’
The unknown power that raised his ‘convergence’ to the limit and allowed the power of different veins to be united and expressed at the same time.
Without it, I would never have dreamed of doing something like this.
From the moment it became unclear whether he had achieved his ‘ambition’, which had allowed him to endure for a long time despite the fear of losing his memory in real time, nothing was visible to him.
Kwadeuk-!
Finally, Obipo’s hand grabbed Heinz’s forehead.
In the process, his body was shattered and rapidly collapsing from the consecutive attacks allowed, but he smiled brightly, regardless of his physical condition.
“Kuhhh! Emperor, let’s make a bet…”
Of course, there will be some adventure along the way.
He was sure of himself this time.
“Stake is everything that each other has…”
He himself is a person who has lived for ten thousand years and has constantly practiced training.
In addition, no matter how much he erased his memory, the remaining memories exceed a thousand years.
But, at most, couldn’t he be defeated by someone who had a special body and lived for hundreds of years?
“The winner has everything the loser has… That body, even the soul!”
Like that.
Obipo borrowed unknown power and infiltrated into Heinz’s mental world confidently.
[What is this?]
A little from what I expected… No, I faced a situation that was very different, and I let out a dull sound without even realizing it.
