Chapter 243

Vampire Rise (3)

Immediately after recovering all the power stolen from Obaipo.

“ha-.”

Heinz let out a breath filled with cloudy vapor and slowly squeezed and unclenched his hand repeatedly.

The sense of sharpness sharper than ever and the indescribable power felt throughout my body gave me a sense of elation.

《The object grows by meeting the conditions. The special skill “Blood Clan (Sacred Blood)” evolves into “Blood Clan.”》

《The special skill “Blood Clan” absorbs the low-level ability “Super Regeneration” and becomes further strengthened.》

And that’s just because of my mood. It wasn’t.

As the twelve blood vessels that had split into many became one again through Heinz’s body, the basis of his existence evolved closer to perfection.

‘I haven’t completely overcome the wall of Precious Blood yet.’

This probably means that just unifying one level of faction is not enough to become a level beyond the Holy Blood, the peak of vampires, tentatively known as Divine Blood.

He wasn’t sure if there really was such a thing, but he had reached a higher level, and for some reason, he was able to instinctively intuit it.

The limit of what he can reach is by no means the end here, and there are still steps ahead.

‘It seems like my abilities have become twice as strong as before.’

As “Blood Run” is the completion stage of the “Blood Clan” series, which was the basic skill of vampires, its abilities and efficiency were incomparable to before.

Above all, the regenerative power, which was already strong, has become even stronger, and now the body has become virtually immortal, surviving even if the whole body is reduced to ashes as long as there is energy left.

‘At this level… Is it safe to say that we’ve really caught up to Hans’ chin now?’

First of all, the destructive power that a single entity could exert against a living being seemed to be similar.

If the two were to face each other, Hans would have an absolute advantage in terms of race compatibility, and in a power battle, which could be said to be the immortal king’s true strength, he would not be an opponent, so it was not enough to match.

‘Well, anyway, it’s good to become stronger. Because that’s what I wanted. Rather, for now…’

There were still many issues left to check and deal with, but the first thing to be done right now was decided.

Now, he has to quickly take care of the Obaipo clan that is in his hands and put an end to the situation that occurred in the Republic.

‘It’s all mine now. I can’t let it get any more ruined than this.’

Heinz quietly closed his eyes and spread his will throughout the city.

As soon as the order from Vampire King Heinz II, the undisputed lord of all vampires on the continent was given, the loud commotion suddenly began to subside as if it had never happened before.

A dramatic peace that came before greater damage occurred.

Also it is.

It was also the moment when even the final arrangement of the oath of reverse heaven, which had been planted in the eastern part of the Aeon continent, collapsed.

***

An office located in downtown Seoul.

A beautiful woman with long hair tied in a ponytail was sitting in front of a computer, lowering the mouse wheel, and talking on a speakerphone.

“…okay. So you’re saying there are no special matters other than the report?”

-Um… Is that so? I searched even harder again. Listen to the vice president. But…

“It’s okay if you speak in English. Mr. Andrew.”

-oh! thank you I’m learning hard, but Korean isn’t easy. Now I can listen and read to a certain extent, but speaking and writing are English….

“Compared to the period of time I learned it, I learned it very quickly. It’s probably because you’re smart and have invested a lot in mental and intelligence status. Of course, you will have to continue studying in the future. “That’s our Lord’s name… no, it’s the boss’s name.”

Jin So-ran, the second-in-command of Heterosis, was talking with his mouth while quickly scanning the report on the monitor with his eyes.

After looking again, there was nothing unusual.

-Ha, is that so… Oh, come to think of it, I still haven’t met the boss even once. I guess you are a very busy person?

“Well, that’s right. Andrew, you came here on the recommendation of an acquaintance of the owner, right? Thanks to you, we are grateful that we have been able to work with someone as capable and sincere as Andrew.

-Oh… Is that so? Hahaha….

At her praise, Andrew Weaver, who had been forced to come to Korea and join Heterosis by the Immortal King on the other end of the phone, let out an awkward laugh.

Because he didn’t work diligently because he wanted to.

Of course, recently, I was somewhat satisfied with my current life.

Due to some kind of restriction, I had no choice but to work hard within the given time, and I didn’t have much free time due to language training in not only Korean but also Japanese and Chinese, but… ‘Compared

to the time when I was abused by Olivia in the Immortal Castle, this place is no different from paradise! ‘

You can also have cola, pizza, watch TV, and even play games if you have time.

An environment on a completely different level from when you were struggling in a space filled with only crazy people and the undead.

‘Living like this isn’t that bad. ‘There is no dark magic that drives people crazy, and the pay is good in its own way.’

The reality that he had no time to spend money in the first place had no longer entered his mind.

In this way, he was becoming a voluntary slave with a great mindset, satisfied with the current situation, while still working in an environment that was no different from a black company.

“Anyway, thank you, Andrew. Then, please continue to check and contact us at any time if any additional abnormalities are found.”

-Okay, Vice President.

Pop.

The phone was disconnected and silence returned to the office.

After massaging his eyebrows for a moment, Jin So-ran sank into the chair and let out a deep sigh.

“Whew—that feels uncomfortable. “For now, I don’t think there’s any big problem.”

In fact, she wasn’t feeling that bad until this morning.

To be precise, until just a few hours ago, she received a call from Aria, the leader of the moderate faction who was her boss, and received a warning.

‘There’s no way Aria would say something for nothing.’

Jin Shao-ran, who was once a member of the moderate faction, could never easily accept her words.

No matter what anyone says, she is an amazing person who kept the powerful hardliners in check for a long time with a weak moderate faction just by her own ability.

‘It’s probably a future prediction ability.’

In fact, when I was under her command, I thought she had a separate source of information that I was unaware of, but now that I was in a position to control a huge organization called the clan, I knew it well.

At least the current warning was not information obtained through such connections.

‘If you contact me separately, it must mean that something big is going to happen to me or Heterosis. Or is it somewhere in the clan?’

That was why she hurriedly sent an emergency request to Andrew.

As much as I knew his ability to gather information, there was no one better suited to quickly look into something related.

‘I need to buy some for the time being. Just in case, I may need to move my office as well. Where should I move it?…’

After roughly concluding his thoughts, Jin So-ran stood up, opened the office door, and went out.

“No, that’s why you can do whatever you want here…!”

“Oh, it only takes a moment…”

However, as she crossed the soundproof barrier installed in the office for information security, her sensitive hearing detected a commotion coming from outside the office.

Moreover, one of them was a familiar voice to her.

‘what?’

With a puzzled mind, she walked to the entrance of the office and opened the door. The back of her head caught the eye of a familiar girl who appeared to be only in middle school.

With a boy whose face she had never seen before, she confronted her.

“Is it Nahee? What’s happen?”

“ah! “Uh…no, Vice President!”

Then the girl Lee Na-hee turned around and welcomed her.

A child who once belonged to the same moderate crew.

She was a confident girl who was currently learning to be an office assistant at Heterosis like her.

“ah! hello? Are you in charge here?”

At that time, a boy of the same age who had been arguing with Lee Na-hee at the entrance to the office smiled brightly and spoke to her.

“Well, first of all, I’m the tallest person here.”

“aha!”

When she answered abruptly, the boy’s expression brightened even more.

At that moment, Lee Na-hee, who was frowning, stepped in between them and raised her voice again.

“sister! Don’t deal with it! It’s my first time seeing him, but he’s strange. “You’ve been recklessly asking me to let you in since a while ago…”

“You’re all vampires, right?”

However, she had no choice but to stop speaking when the boy spoke directly to her.

On the contrary, the boy is still smiling brightly.

Even in that situation, Jin So-ran, who still looked calm, was unable to control her expression and naturally blocked the path of Lee Na-hee, whose face was stiff, and let out a deep sigh.

“I don’t know where you heard that, but this isn’t the place for you to mess around? “Why don’t you play a prank on your friends?”

She ignored the boy’s words and calmly advised him in an adult manner.

“ah! I understand what you’re worried about, but don’t worry. “It’s not that I’m trying to do anything with it…”

“I’m worried, can you just go to sleep and leave before I call the police? “The employees are not able to work because you are making noise.”

“That’s not true, I’m also a vampire, right? So, I was happy to find out that there were people of the same race, so I came to see them. “Please accept me as a colleague!”

At those words, Jin So-ran looked at the boy with narrowed eyes.

A face still smiling like the first time.

However, he could not feel any blood magic or any smell of blood.

‘That’s a lie.’

Originally, she was at the upper level of 6, but after joining Heterosis, she accepted Heinz’s “Refined Blood Essence” and has now reached level 7.

In terms of Outerica, it was a true blood, and even by the standards of how strong the hardliners were, it was on the same level as Beta, of which there were only two.

But there’s no way she wouldn’t recognize the other person’s identity, right?

And decisively.

It was a bit surprising that this boy, who was Lee Na-hee’s age, seemed to be in the second year of middle school.

“Haha, friend? Is your sister putting up with a lot right now? Won’t you go when I say something nice? “Even if it’s like this, I’m a scary person when I’m angry?”

But she tried her best to be patient and gently comforted him.

Even though they are disguising themselves as a normal company to the point where no problems arise, it is still very annoying to see this place attract the attention of the police, who are a symbol of public power.

Besides, I didn’t want the boy to say unnecessary things to the police.

“Oh, you don’t believe me. Is it real? Do you see this? “Those fangs stick out sharply, right?”

“It’s a bitch. “You just have to go to the dentist and get it corrected.”

Jin So-ran coolly responded to the boy who put his finger in his mouth and showed his teeth.

“I hate garlic!”

“It was like that at your age. “But if you’re a picky eater, you won’t be able to use it.”

“I won’t go in unless the landlord invites me!”

“good job. “If you go in without permission, it’s a home invasion.”

The boy repeatedly tried to prove that he was a vampire, but she just responded indifferently with her arms crossed.

“I don’t carelessly cross over a flowing river!”

“Yes, it’s dangerous, so be careful from now on.”

“Your body temperature is lower than other people!”

“You seem to have a cold constitution. “Dress warmly.”

“I’m sensitive to sunlight!”

“Blocking UV rays is important. Still, you have to be exposed to sunlight to produce vitamin D.”

Now, the boy who keeps talking non-stop as if he has developed a temper, and Jin So-ran, who refuses to give up, responds.

Lee Na-hee, who had taken a step back from the fight between the two proud people, was just staring with her mouth open.

“I have a reaction to silver!”

“Are you allergic to metal?”

“If you drive a stake through the heart, you will die!”

“so do i. “It’s like that for everyone.”

“…….”

“…….”

The boy finally stopped speaking, as if he had run out of repertoire, and looked up at Jin So-ran, who stood confidently in front of him.

Then he quickly sighed lightly and shook his head.

“Oh, this doesn’t work.”

“Are you finished? “Then why don’t you go now?”

In response, Jin So-ran responded sullenly, as if he was tired.

But this time, the boy didn’t care. He looked at her with a smile again and opened his mouth.

“Actually, it’s a lie.”

“I knew.”

Jin So-ran responded briefly, but—.

“Even if you drive a stake through my heart, I won’t die.”

The boy’s words had a slightly different meaning.

And at the same time, the face that had been smiling innocently became strangely distorted.

“…What are you?”

A clearly different atmosphere than before.

Seeing as if the person had changed in an instant, she slowly stepped back, protecting Lee Na-hee.

“oh! I haven’t introduced you yet, right? “Such a rude example!”

He was speaking brightly, but even at first glance, his appearance was not normal.

Aside from the exaggerated appearance of going crazy somewhere, even his appearance began to distort to the point of repulsion.

“Well, it’s been a long time since I threw away my real name, so I don’t even want to use it.”

Three pupils were differentiated in the right eye and four pupils were differentiated in the left eye, moving around the eyeballs as they pleased.

Several overlapping voices rang strangely, creating noise.

“Please just call me Alpha.”

“…Alpha?”

The skin started to crack like a spider web.

Then, a strong scent of blood emanated from his body.

It’s so dark that I can’t understand why I didn’t notice it until now.

“Ah! So…”

His mouth was torn apart below his ear, revealing shark-like teeth.

A forked tongue crept out from inside.

“Where is this guy named Heinz?”

This happened while Heinz was in the midst of resolving the Zefia Republic incident.
