Ajantu (2)

Heinz told his guess and said he wasn't sure, but Diana couldn't help but turn pale when she heard the story..

“Well, they are an organization called ‘Barcolac’ that manages this street. But why... did I pay the down payment on time?.”

Even as he said that, Diana deep down thought that what he said was true..

Because there was something I learned while being born and raised in this city..

“This city... is ruled by vampires..”

“vampire?”

Of course, it was a fact that not everyone knew..

Most citizens, as well as the gang members who control the streets, probably don't know anything about it..

Even if she knew, it would only make things more dangerous, so Diana didn't say anything until now..

“Most organizations, including Barkolac, are under the control of vampires. They do as they are told and manage the citizens..”

The reason Diana found out was simple..

Because she had a very good nose.

To the point where it reaches the realm of supernatural ability..

‘I was careful, deliberately avoiding places where the smell of blood was strong.!’

He could smell not just a physical smell, but the smell emanating from a dangerous place or a person's soul..

I used that ability to act carefully with Aaron, but this time I felt like I was under their spell..

“If so, I think we're in a bit of a dangerous situation right now. This has happened before?”

“···I've been through this a few times before. The smell of people suddenly disappearing because they didn't pay their dues comes from people who smell like blood..”

When I first didn't know much about my abilities, I just thought that I was a scary person..

Because even the men who were in a position in the organization were busy groveling..

But as her head grew bigger and her thoughts increased, and as she saw and heard many things, Diana realized:.

“This city is their farm. The reason they have their own order is to manage their food so that it does not spoil..”

There is no harm as long as you pay the repayment on time, and even though it is a back alley, there is no drug distribution..

If you could pay for the medicine, it was possible to cure the disease..

“Somehow I never thought about leaving for another city.?”

“At first, I tried to leave the city even if it was too much for me. but···.”

There were quite a few people who had left this city before, but Diana could tell..

I don't think any of them really made it to another city..

“The next day, I saw the gang members keeping the items they had taken with them when they left. You might think it's just the same thing, but I can tell..”

Because I could tell who the original owner of those items was through the smell..

And there's no need to tell what happened to them.

From then on, I gave up on leaving the city, moved as much as possible to a street where vampires did not travel, and acted cautiously by avoiding dangerous places..

“As long as they stay in the city, they can be taken at any time, so they are free-range, but if they try to escape, they are slaughtered right away.···.”

Heinz frowned as he gathered his thoughts..

“Let's move first. I don't know why they chose Aaron as their target even though he paid the penalty, but if it's true, there won't be much time. I know where they're based?”

“yes i know. By the way... are you helping me too??”

Diana bit her lip and looked up at Heinz..

Now that you know everything about the situation here, you must have fully realized how dangerous the situation is..

Since he was not a resident of the city, he would have no problem leaving the city right away..

But Heinz grinned and ruffled Diana's hair..

Because he had nothing to fear in this world.

“Did you say it? Now that I know, I won't pretend not to know. I'm also a good at screwing over bad guys. Just trust this ‘oppa’!”

Heinz especially emphasized the word ‘oppa’..

Because it was a sensitive issue for him, who was now 20 years old..

***

A small town with nothing left but ashes.

In a place full of ruins, there is nothing good left..

“Hmm, I can smell dark magic, but what happened??”

The pale-faced man blocked the fluttering ash from coming near and walked around the village, looking for the few remaining traces..

Places that appear to be where buildings used to be and faint traces of battle left on the ground.

“Are these... corpses? Did you put makeup together??”

A place that appears to be where corpses were cremated was also discovered..

It had already turned to ashes and mostly scattered, leaving no trace, but to the man, that was no problem..

‘There are no traces of any power other than dark magic being used in the entire village, and it is certain that there was a conflict using undead, but the corpses were cremated and left.?’

When I first looked at the traces, my first thought was that there must have been internal strife among the 'Oath of Yeokcheon'..

The stuff they had was enough to make them greedy, so it wasn't unreasonable..

“I don't know. what happened. Anyway, it's a shame.”

I was preparing to steal the immortal king's fragment when it seemed to have matured properly, but it had already disappeared without a trace..

“I don't know who hit the player, but I'm sure they'll catch him soon. Because it's not something that can be hidden that easily.”

The man turned his eyes to where the last traces led..

Movement of the undead into the eastern forest.

‘The direction is just right. Is luck on your side??’

Then, while looking around the village for a moment, the man's entire body turned into a bat, dispersed, and disappeared into the eastern forest..

***

I headed to Barkolac's stronghold with Diana..

We had to get Aaron back before he fell to the vampires..

As for Hans, it was impossible to fight against the vampires with Heinz..

‘Because it seems like everything will work out for regular gang members..’

With a body strengthened through awakening, continued training, and the power of “super recovery,” you can probably beat ordinary gang members..

A re-summoning process was necessary to synchronize the Karma store's physical ability enhancements to the avatar..

‘There is no way I can afford that now. In a situation where we can’t even get help from Hans right now,.’

There are 3 days left until the transmission can be used..

Heinz had to do something on his own..

I looked at Diana, who was leading the way..

I was worried about my younger brother, so I clenched my trembling hands and hurried my steps, but I used my sense of smell to only move to places where there were no people..

We don't know what will happen in the future, but we couldn't expose our whereabouts..

‘A kid like that is trying desperately to protect his family, and I can't get him out of here..’

Diana must have lived for her younger brother with that sense of responsibility as the driving force of her life..

The small hope of life that I kept without giving up even though I was weighed down by the weight of reality..

But now, that hope was about to be shattered..

‘Okay, I don't have much to lose, so let's do what we can. I guess that’s about it. The reward is... random.’

For me this was a kind of quest.

And Korean gamers never give up on a quest midway..

As I was composing myself, Diana, who was ahead of me, suddenly stopped and started sniffing..

“ah! I started to smell Aaron. I think it's in Barcolac's stronghold as expected..”

“This makes it clear. It's a shame that the bad guess turned out to be correct, but the good news is that the remaining ones haven't been taken over by vampires yet..”

I followed Diana, who started running again, and prepared for battle..

“Mister... Can we really save Aaron??”

Diana whispered in an anxious voice..

I can only see the back of his head, so I can't tell his expression, but it probably isn't that good..

“Yes, I will save you soon, just trust me..”

In fact, not all problems could be solved by finding it there..

Actually, I guess that's when it really started..

This city was under the control of vampires, and the kidnappers were just their minions..

‘Let's think about it then and put out the urgent fire first.!’

As it was getting dark, we soon arrived at Barcolac's home base..

A small two-story building located inside an alley..

‘There's no one standing guard.’

Well, the organizations in the back alleys were all under the control of vampires, so there was no way they could be on guard among themselves..

“Do you know how many people are inside??”

“Sniff, about fifteen? Even though it's the home base, it's kind of like an office. I know that they usually live scattered throughout the streets..”

I nodded to Diana's answer as she closed her eyes and smelled the scent..

Fifteen was enough to do it..

“I'll go in and bring Aaron out, so you wait a little further away..”

“···I know it's shameless, but Please do me a favor, mister..”

Diana probably knew that even if she did, it would only be a distraction, so she bit her lip, bowed her head, and retreated to the back..

‘Well then, let’s go in..’

I have a scenario in mind, and I have some preparations in place..

All that's left is an exercise in skill and a little bit of luck afterwards..

‘And lately my luck is at its best!’

I opened the door carefully and went in..

1The floor was set up like a bar, but it was quite clean, unlike the home of a back alley organization..

‘I thought the inside was a mess, full of cigarette smoke, and gang members drinking and gambling everywhere..’

Well, there are vampires who visit occasionally, so they must have paid some attention to it..

Still, there were people who gathered in one corner to drink and gamble, as if their thoughts were not entirely wrong..

“what? who is this?”

“Hey bro, come to work when I have good words for you..”

When they saw me, they started whispering among themselves and gestured towards me..

I obediently walked towards them..

“uh? This guy is a friend I saw earlier.?”

“what? I know someone?”

Among them was a large man whom I had met on the street earlier and who had taken donations from me..

“Brother, what's going on here? It's because I feel like the sincerity I gave you earlier wasn't enough.?”

After giggling among themselves, they stood up and smiled softly at the large figure approaching me..

“What? Smile? What is wrong with this guy...!”

Then he immediately took out a dagger and plunged it into the back of the neck, and as soon as he pulled it out, he rushed at those who had not yet responded..

“What, what is that guy?!”

“I know where this is! kill it!”

Although my body moved quickly, I responded to the enemy’s movements with a calm mind through “Myunggyejisu”..

With one hand, I plunged the dagger into the temple of the man who was trying to get up, and with the other hand, I pulled out the sword from my waist..

It was a sword used by the warlock's minions, and although they were not used to using it, there was nothing they could do in the current situation..

‘Since you don't have the skills to target a vital spot at once, try to inflict as much damage as possible so that they can't move.!’

Swing the sword and cut off the opponent's leg.

Instead, I cut my arm, but the wound wasn't deep, perhaps because of my "strongness.".

Even so, he recovered quickly with a “super recovery.”.

“Ugh, this guy’s knife won’t go in.!”

He was stabbed in the abdomen, but he was wearing an Earth-made bulletproof uniform underneath his clothes..

Ignoring the pain with “Mind Herb,” I cut the neck of the guy who stopped stabbing me with a dagger..

wajangchang—!

Liquor bottles and utensils were broken and the interior was a mess..

I calmly moved my body and neutralized them one by one..

Kwasik!

In the meantime, the guy with the club aimed at the back of the head, but the impact was not great thanks to the magic barrier of the magic tool protecting the vital area..

“Wow, what on earth is this guy doing, even with magic tools... keke!”

However, the effects of magic tools are not infinite, so I fought while protecting only the vital areas as much as possible..

I knocked down one guy and cut his leg..

He stabbed the other guy and stabbed him in the back, but he ignored it and attacked him..

Puuk—

I stabbed the knife but it didn’t fall out..

I immediately snatched the hatchet from the guy I had knocked down and swung it to the side..

I aimed for that moment and blocked the flying knife with one arm..

My limbs became tattered..

Before I knew it, the effect of the magic tool had ended, and the blood flowing from my torn forehead covered my eyes..

At that time, the guy in front of me looked behind me..

Movement as if making eye contact with someone.

Looks like another guy is trying to stab me in the back..

He immediately bent down, picked up the weapon that had fallen on the floor, and swung it backwards..

“Ouch!”

The guy behind me grabbed my ankle and fell, but the fight wasn't over yet..

「If it weren't for 'Strongness' and 'Super Recovery', I wouldn't have been able to move a long time ago..

Without fear of death or excitement about fighting, they mechanically calculated and exchanged attacks to defeat their enemies..

One guy, two guys, three guys···.

···and last.

“Ahhh···.”

“Ugh, what are you?···.”

As I fought and fought like that, the area around me was filled with people lying around, and there were even people who came down from the second floor due to the commotion..

“Phew... Is there anyone who ran away??”

As the fight continued and he looked like he was covered in blood and on the verge of collapsing, he probably thought that if he pushed a little more, he would be able to catch him..

After the momentum was completely lost, some people tried to run away, but by then it was already too late..

Most of those who were attacked mainly on the legs from the beginning had poor mobility, and by mainly attacking those who showed signs of running away, we were able to defeat them all in one blow..

In the end, there was a limit to the number of times, so I used my favorite self-defense magic tool until the end.···.

If it wasn't for that, I could have missed it, so I had no choice..

“Whoo, whoo”

After the battle, I stood for a moment and caught my breath..

The bleeding had stopped and the wound was slowly healing, but it was so bloody that it was not noticeable..

“Hey, where is the boy I caught today??”

“Wow, what is that all of a sudden... ahhh-!”

I dug into the wound of the guy who tried to say something else without even noticing it..

“underground! underground!”

“It would have happened long ago. Don't you need a key??”

“It's hanging in front of the door too! Don't stop now!”

After asking a few more questions, I got up and looked around..

The interior is a mess, with fallen and writhing members of the organization and dead bodies that cannot move..

And then I picked up my weapon again.

In order for the scenario to go as I had imagined, there shouldn't have been any living creatures here..

“Now, wait a minute! help me! Flesh... Wow.”

I started checking and killing them one by one..

「Even after using the “Mind Hub,” I felt dirty, but I moved my body mechanically, thinking that these people were only doing harm even if they were alive..

“If things went on like this, the kid would faint from shock.···.”

I looked around and headed towards where there were liquor bottles and water containers on one side..

And first, I opened the bottles and poured them all over my body, starting from my head, to wash away the blood..

‘The smell of alcohol is better than the smell of blood..’

After some of the blood had drained, I grabbed a bucket of water and poured it on my head once more..

‘I think this is worth looking at at first glance..’

His clothes were tattered and there were blood stains, but he looked much better than before..

And I walked towards the door leading to the basement..
