Chapter 334 – Finding the Vampire
Kyaaaaagh-!
Every night there was a deafening cry.
The sound of women laughing, picking at pigs, and screaming at the death of a colt made the people of the city plug their ears and struggle to sleep.
It was fine in the morning.
The sun was hostile to most vampires.
But when the sun goes down and night comes – everyone locks the door.
Not a single person was to be seen on the street. At least the beggars from the slums crawled into the sewers and held their breath.
He held his breath and even turned off the lights. He didn’t even make a sound as if no one was there.
I twisted the neck of a croaking chicken- and slaughtered a pig and scattered its blood far away from my home.
Please, I hope the demons don’t go to my house, but to the next door.
I hope you will pretend not to see our house and go.
With just such a feeling, the whole family went under the bed and into the closet and trembled and went to sleep.
Some houses even hang garlic in front of the door.
I also drew a large pentagram with ink.
Nevertheless-, people died every day. As if to see the withered corpses – they were scattered like laundry in the middle of the plaza.
Screams of grief were clearly audible through the fucking rain.
Occasionally, I could hear the angry shouts of those who attacked the vampires, and the cries of children begging for help.
One two···
Bang-!
After kicking in the door, Seo-joon looked around.
Again, the house was empty.
It was either one.
Did the family leave the city in an unusual atmosphere, or was it eaten up by a vampire?
Seeing that the house was a mess and there were bloodstains, it was the latter.
It’s hard to think that you spilled menstrual blood while running away-.
Seo-joon took off his raincoat and brushed his rain-soaked hair.
“Whoa, I’m tired. Excuse me···. Can’t we just rest for a bit?”
Kesha, who had come with her, sprawled on the floor and vomited her shot. Because I was so nervous all the time, my strength was released.
This was my 10th house today.
Day 4-
In the meantime, from the morning when the sun rises until dusk-, over 100 houses have been robbed in four days.
That’s how he caught and killed forty vampires.
In some families, the entire family was a vampire, and in another family, the only daughter was a vampire.
Can you kill a 4-year-old kid- the devil in the tower seemed to be asking.
Seojun killed him.
Death was given equitably. He stabbed the belly with a knife dipped in holy water-, slashed the neck-, and slit the skull lengthwise.
However, killing a vampire seemed to be very painful for Ian.
Vampires before revealing their true selves–, looking at them from the outside, they weren’t that different from humans.
So, he asked Seo-jun if there was any way to turn them back into humans without killing them.
He firmly shook his head.
When you become a horse, the structure of your DNA changes first.
The intestines are a structure that covets and digests blood and turns it into demonic energy—a structure that burns hemoglobin when exposed to sunlight.
There is no turning back.
Seo-joon answered like that – Ian reluctantly swung his sword.
“Ian, are you okay?”
“···Yes.”
Ian frowned as if he was feeling sick.
Seo-joon sat down next to him and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
“Vampires consider humans as domestic animals. You shouldn’t see them as the same creature. They are no different from demons who eat people. Don’t even think about compromising.”
The boy gritted his teeth and shook his head.
It seems like he’s trying to harden his heart – but it didn’t seem that easy.
Seo-joon looked through the window where the rain was pouring – got on his knees and got up.
Putting his hand in his front pocket and fiddling with the five star necklace, he searched through the house.
The vampire hunt is now on its fourth day.
I had heard that some crazy bastards were carrying around the heretic questioner’s necklace and hunting vampires-, as the days went by, it became harder to find them.
Even looking around, I couldn’t feel any presence.
There were only a few rats under the bed. When they ran into Seo-jun, they threw away the grain they had forgotten and ran away.
Seo-joon rummaged through the kitchen and found one remaining raw corn.
I cut it in half and handed it to Ian.
“Ah···. I’m fine.”
The boy laughed awkwardly and refused.
He didn’t seem to understand Seo-joon doing this in a place where people died.
“Give it to me!”
Kesha, on the other hand, was good and she took it.
Chewing with triangular incisors – Seeing how they thresh corn kernels, they taste good. I guess it didn’t hurt.
It seemed okay to eat.
Seo-joon also sighed – chewing on corn kernels – and headed to the next door again.
Garlic was hung in rows in front of the house, and an amulet to drive out demons and a pentagram, the seal of the Holy Church, were painted.
Well, it’s a familiar house with a strange appearance.
Whose house is it…
Bang-!
“Kyaaaaah”
“Who, who is-!”
Seo-joon opened his eyes narrowly and glanced at the family hiding under the table.
“Sir, Seojun-?”
Somehow, a pretty woman recognized Seo-joon and crawled out.
Seo-joon opened her arms so that the woman could be embraced in her arms.
I wondered if it was a deception tactic, so I sneakily looked at it with a pentagram, and it was a person. The same goes for that family.
“Why, why are you here now…! I-I kept waiting for Seo-jun to come…!”
“···Sorry.”
Seo-joon hugged the woman tightly. The woman covered Seo-joon’s nose with tears.
Seo-joon patted the woman on the back and desperately tried to roll the ball-but couldn’t remember who it was.
Where are the bitches who touched the Mage Tower while commuting-. It was also difficult to remember their names one by one.
I think you’ll know if you hold the udder… The moment Seo-joon was about to play with his hand-, a male voice came from inside.
“···Honey?”
“Oh my gosh, look at my mind.”
The woman was startled and quickly fell.
A middle-aged man and a small girl came out from under the table.
Both were grotesque. My cheeks were very slim, probably because I had starved for several days.
A family that brings their eyes to the raw corn that Seo-joon ate.
Seo-joon reluctantly put it into the girl’s hand.
The girl didn’t say thank you, but just put the cob up her snout and munched.
“Thank you, Mr. Seojun…”
“No, what do you have?”
After changing his uniform, Seo-joon took them and his family out. He intended to guide them to the Salt Mansion.
Now, the mercenaries he sent earlier, the professors and cadets of the Mage Tower, wealthy people including Weychel Sangsanju, and all the people Seo-joon rescued were staying there.
The devil of the tower will be on the top floor of the Mage Tower, so confronting it in the Mage Tower was an act of suicide.
The mage tower itself will become its labyrinth.
After the mage tower is completely labyrinth-, you will have to aim for the gap where it consumes power and weakens.
Before that, there was no hope. Now was the time to clean up the mobs and wait.
“Hyung, isn’t there only one place left now?”
Ian’s gaze looked beyond the pouring rain at the grey-white building that cast a thick shadow.
Seojun also looked there.
Dig deep into the inside and spread the energy of a huge demon. Ian’s complexion hardened as if he had sensed it.
Seojun tapped Ian’s shoulder.
“You go back first. Take good care of them.”
“Yes···?”
“Here I go alone. It’s still early for you.”
“I-I’m going too! I can’t let my brother go to a dangerous place alone…!”
Seo-joon grinned and held the boy’s cheeks with both hands. The guy with the snout sticking out like a duck-.
“Not yet. Go back You are the most precious little brother to me. More than my life.”
“… Tongue-in-cheek.”
Ian was in tears. Realizing that Seo-joon had firmly grasped his heart, the guy cried and shook his head.
“Seo, Seojun, just go with me…”
The married woman grabbed Seo-jun’s forearm.
Eyelashes dripping with raindrops flutter. Looking at those eyes, he was more concerned about his safety than Seo-joon.
Ah-, then I remembered who this bitch was.
This year, this was the year of cheating. It was the year that I made rice cakes with the vendor of the fish shop next door in the morning, and the vendor of the fruit shop next door in the afternoon.
The odds of that girl being her husband’s child were remarkably low.
“Seojun-ssi… Huh? Can’t we go together?”
Seo-joon coaxed her out.
Still, there is something called rice cake, and I was able to do this much.
The married woman reluctantly leaves, and Ian and Kesha disappear into the rain with their entire family.
“Hyung, take care of yourself…”
Those were the words he left behind.
After they leave- Seo-joon is left alone on the street in the pouring rain.
The devil of the tower will be in the mage tower, so the one here was someone else. Even if he couldn’t, he would be a man with a title. Perhaps he is the one who left scars on the Heretic Inquisitor, Claire Salier.
If you kill him-, Claire will rob the seat and get up. If he’s doing it right, that is.
Seo-joon’s intuition shouted that it would be right.
Ironically, at times like this, it was just right.
He put his hand on the rain-soaked handle of his sword and opened the door of the large gray-white building – Holy Church.
Ki-Ik-
Hinge screams.
Wheein-
A chilly wind blew into his nostrils from the inside.
Seo-joon cleared his nose and stepped inside.
