Chapter 439
Black Dragon Society (1)
‘Pfft, I can't resist..’
Heukyeong gritted his teeth..
I never dreamed that things would turn out like this..
Rather than creating a gap by shaking up the clan that controls the underworld of Korea as planned, I would have thought that it would turn out to be like this.!
Who would have known that he would personally guide the clan's master, the Phantom, to the Black Dragon's secret base??
‘As vampire transformation takes place, the concentration of blood in the body is not very high. But why? Why can't we reject coercion?!’
Most of the enormous amount of "purified blood tablets" that Heinz II used on him was consumed in breaking through that resistance..
In fact, it is said that there are not many vampire factors that went into changing the physical structure of the dark spirit and binding him with blood..
In fact, his current level as a vampire was not that high..
By Outerica's standards, he had narrowly escaped residual blood and reached pure blood, and by Earth's standards, he was only hovering between levels 4 and 5..
Considering that his combat power at the end of his life was equivalent to that of a level 8 vampire, it was normal for his dark spirit as a warrior to overwhelm his identity as a vampire..
But the reality is quite the opposite.
Somehow, he could not ignore the blood restraint and had no choice but to obediently follow the orders of the one who made him like this..
Without any other tricks, I did my best with all my heart..
“Wow!”
“Ugh, black spirit! why are you!”
“Could it be that this energy... has turned me into a vampire? How did the master of Hwagyeong?”
The result was what it is now..
The secret base became a mess due to a sudden attack by our allies..
As a murderer, he was an alien being even within the Black Dragon Society, which was dominated by warriors, but in terms of his status, he could be said to be next to the leader, the Black Dragon Lord..
Due to the nature of his job, he was already well-versed in the tactics and traps set up in his home base, and even knew the minor habits and weaknesses of his colleagues who had been his colleagues even more than he did himself..
He decided to 'attack' them and set out.···.
Chaaaang!
“What is this? black spirit!”
“···lotus sword.”
Those who did not have even the minimum qualifications to face him like now had no choice but to fall helplessly..
The good news is that since there was no intention to kill from the beginning, everyone was able to recover after a while of rest..
Heukyeong let out a small sigh..
A young woman striking a sword with a flaming red sword against her scythe.
Just like him, he was a warrior of the Black Dragon Society who had reached the state of peace..
“Calm down, Yeonhwageom. Don’t you know what the state of the dark spirit is right now??”
“This is ridiculous. The dark spirit, who was about to face the ultimate crisis, was unable to overcome the contamination of blood and became a vampire? How is that possible??”
“Of course, even if the Phantom was a vampire who reached transcendence, it would still be true.···.”
After that, a group of warriors surrounded the two people..
A middle-aged man with a long beard wearing a green uniform and holding a scimitar, a slim man wearing hip-hop fashion and holding dual swords, a sharp-looking middle-aged woman wearing luxury goods all over her body, and even a muscular man aiming a large bow in the distance..
They were all masters of the Hwagyeong who had somehow supported the collapsing Black Dragon Society..
“What about King Sura? Are you okay??”
“There was no danger to my life. Although he is poisoned, he is a very strong friend, so he will shake it off and get up on his own..”
“···Is that so?.”
Yeonhwageom took a breath and slowly retreated at the answer of the middle-aged man holding the scimitar..
Although she also reached the level of the Hwagyeong, she did not have the confidence to deal with the Black Spirit one-on-one..
No matter how much he was a assassin who specialized in sneak attacks, there was bound to be a difference in level even within the fire scene..
‘But if there are five of us!’
Actually, you don't even need five..
What if Black Spirit could continue his specialty of sneak attack? Now that he had fully revealed himself, he could guarantee a sure victory with just two people..
Aren't the seven, including the five of them, the Black Spirit, and King Sura Fist, who was the first to be attacked and fell because of his duties, even called the Seven Dragons of the Black Dragon Society??
Nevertheless, the reason they all came forward was to ensure the capture of Black Spirit alive..
I didn't know if there was a way to get him back to normal..
The fact that there have been no deaths so far was also one of the factors that fueled that hope..
“Please surrender calmly, Black Spirit. Then I'll somehow find a way to get back to normal. You do the same···.”
“Would you hear me say that? If that had gone my way, I wouldn't have made such a mess..”
Interrupting the middle-aged man who was speaking politely, the man with the twin swords took a stride forward..
“Now that things have come to this, all that's left is to show off your skills! All you have to do is beat them up and tie them up tightly so they can't resist.?”
“Umm.”
“Hehehe~ That's not wrong. Seeing Heukyeong like that, it seems like the entire operation in Korea was defeated. After suppressing it, wouldn't it be okay to hold it until the Black Dragon Lord returns??”
Mibu, wearing luxury goods, agreed to his words and stepped forward..
If the Black Spirit had failed, the migration plan the Black Dragon Master had prepared separately would also have to be halted..
I've already contacted you, so it won't be long until I come back..
In that case, it was as if what they were to do had already been decided..
“···Good. There's no good in making more of a fuss than this, so let's get this over with as quickly as possible..”
As soon as he finished speaking, the scimitar that sharply cut through the air was aimed straight ahead..
“Tsk, I don't like the collaboration, but it can't be helped..”
The same goes for the twin swords that shed sharp anticipation and the red sword that seems to sparkle..
The sharp beads sticking out of the luxury bag radiated sharp anticipation between the fingers..
However, the black spirit did not react even while multiple weapons were aimed at him..
It was not the intention to ignore the opponents..
It's just that there's no reason to step forward like this now..
He quietly closed his eyes..
and.
“Hmm, as expected, the leader is away? I guess the timing was mixed..”
One moment—the air froze..
A third person's voice suddenly sounded, filled with great intimidation..
The masters of Hwagyeong, who flinched, hurriedly moved their bodies and looked at the source..
he was there.
Wearing a pure white opera mask and looking around at them one by one... the being who is pointed out as the culprit of the incident that happened to the Black Dragon Society now....
‘when?’
‘how?’
no one could know.
How long has it been there and how did it fool everyone's senses?.
And why on earth did they not notice this bloody smell that made their skin feel numb?!
Tuk!
At that time, a heavy figure fell between them who were stiff with tension..
No one here knew who it was..
“Gunggui···!”
A muscular man who has lost his mind and is sagging..
He was a member of the Seven Dragons like them, and until just a moment ago, he was the comrade who was aiming the bow at the very back..
Even though his main strength is the bow, he would never have thought that a being whose name and appearance were as bright as a flower would be subdued like this without any sign.!
‘No, more than that, we didn't notice anything until he became like that.···?’
A chill ran down my spine..
At the same time, I was able to instinctively realize that.
The person standing there now is something different from the transcendental people they have encountered so far..
It wasn't just a higher level..
Beyond that... the status of existence itself seems to be on a different level.···.
“Hmm, they sure look pretty useful..”
Heinz II, who was looking at the frozen people calmly as if he were criticizing them, quietly recited..
In reality, they are unable to act rashly due to the tension rising to its peak.!
However, Heinz did not just hand over everything to the Dark Spirit and quietly observe using “Nenial of Existence”..
This was the most efficient way to clearly determine whether it was worth collecting them and how to use them in the future..
‘If you make a fuss and run away, you'll be in trouble..’
Even though this place was on the outskirts of China, it was clearly part of the territory of Buncheonhoe..
I haven't even decided how to use the Black Dragon Society, so there's no benefit in drawing their attention..
‘···But it's also very inefficient to turn these guys into vampires..’
He glanced back at the black spirit..
On Earth, apart from turning humans into vampires, an enormous amount of "purified blood essence" was also consumed to raise the level of the vampires..
It wasn't for nothing that Heukyoung stopped at that level..
‘If it were that easy, not only Jin Soran but everyone in Heterosis would have been raised to level 8..’
As an individual's level becomes higher compared to the power of blood vessels, the binding power of blood is bound to weaken, but it was a matter of little concern to him..
Not only is it of the highest level as a new blood, but various skills including “Blood Run” and “Subject Domination” assist in all of these things..
‘Well, if the purity is too low, it may not be controlled well, so you have to invest that much..’
But investing any more than this would have been a waste even for him..
Since you have already trained your inner strength and built up martial arts skills to reach the level, your combat power will not increase dramatically even if your depth as a vampire increases..
‘Rather, it would be fortunate if the balance was not disturbed and the person became weaker..’
As a former assassin, Heukyeong didn't have bad compatibility with vampires, but the story was different for others..
So how can we manage these guys efficiently?···.
Wow!—!
As if to cut off his thoughts, a loud metallic sound rang out..
The scimitar, filled with strong energy and swung with all its might toward Heinz's neck, was blocked by a single finger, and the noise generated swept through the space..
The surprise offensive did not end there..
Shhh—
Dozens of raindrops flying like lightning towards a vital point.
At the same time, three swords aimed for an opening and dug into the defenseless body..
A destructive force burning fiercely with a deep murderous energy tore through the space..
“Hoo? quite.”
Heinz nodded slowly..
“uh?”
“Cough!”
“What···!”
And as if time had cut out, he smiled as he looked down at the people writhing on the floor, not even knowing why he had fallen..
Even in a situation where a gap is felt, the spirit of resistance is unlikely, but there is no way that one can dare to touch oneself even with a fingertip at a level that does not even reach the level of strength of the heart and sword.?
‘Still, these guys are at a higher level than I thought, right? The same goes for attempting a surprise attack despite my intimidation. It's more than just the energy you have.’
He glanced at the people rolling on the floor with strange eyes..
It was only because their opponent was Heinz that they were overpowered in vain, but objectively speaking, they had abilities that exceeded those of a typical fireworks master..
It was not just the impact of the system, including unique skills, but something more felt..
‘Come to think of it, Heukyeong was like that too. At the end or whatever, the fact that I played tag with Harley for a while was barely at the extreme level.···.’
He stroked his chin and thought about it before coming to a conclusion..
After all, these guys are talented people that would be a waste to just throw away..
‘If you think about it, the Black Dragon Association is an organization that has survived for over twenty years within the territory of the Buntian Association..’
There must be a reason that made it possible.
Including the support of martial arts returnees until the end even in difficult situations where they had to move to another country..
‘This smells like a big fish..’
Heinz looked at the black spirit who was secretly avoiding his gaze and raised the corners of his mouth..
It seemed like there were quite a few facts that the new vampire didn't reveal because he didn't ask..
It was a problem that had to be dealt with when forced subordination was attempted without loyalty, but when faced with such a situation, it was inevitable to be sarcastic..
‘I hope to see the Black Dragon Lord soon..’
This relationship will be of great help to you as well..
Not just as a force opposing the Buncheonhoe, but also as a force.···.
Even in overcoming the wall I faced,.

“Ha Confucius? Are you okay??”
As he was lost in thought for a moment, a cautious woman's voice flowed into his ears..
Ha Seung-hoon was dazed for a moment—Hugo looked back at him with a grin..
“Oh, something just occurred to me. It's okay, Zhuge Sozhe..”
“···Well, I didn't interrupt something, right? It was a moment of enlightenment or something like that.···.”
“That's not the case, so don't worry. I was just thinking about where I should go next now that this part of the work is over..”
“Phew, that's a relief. I missed it after calling it earlier. I heard that in those cases, you just have to wait quietly, but since I have no experience going out and walking around with other people like this,···.”
Zhuge Hyemi sighed in relief at his calm answer and opened her mouth chattering..
In the aftermath of participating in a ritual to restore the world, her hair was bleached white here and there, as if she had just put on a bridge..
“what! Why are you two playing around like this? I worked hard and sweated!”
At that time, a girl with her hair tied up with a hairpin for mobility stepped in between them..
A girl in her late teens with a healthy and lively aura, with big, playful eyes sparkling..
“I'm sorry, Soran..”
“Hehe, I apologized, so I’ll forgive you! Instead, you know?”
“Hehehe, I understand..”
“Really, I don't know how I ever traveled without my sister in the past. Just being able to wash on time would change your life like this.!”
Hugo burst into laughter when he saw Nangong Soran chattering away while holding Zhuge Hye-mi, who looked much younger than her actual age, in his arms..
Zhuge Hyemi, who was able to freely use the dragon magic and summon water at will, had long been an indispensable member of the group in many ways..
If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been able to avoid being a beggar while being a strongman..
‘Well, actually, I didn't expect it to turn out like this..’
He looked back and forth at the two women, who had already fallen into their own world, and sighed softly..
