ACT 9 High Pureness Vampire
“It’s over!”
Ark’s voice echoed through the area Infector glared at Ark and growled
“Y…you! An insignificant human like you……”
“Take this, Dark Strike!”
Ark snorted and raised his sword Then Infector shouted in a desperate voice
“W-wait a minute! You don’t care ould happen to your pet if I die?”
“W-what?”
Ark’s eyes glanced at hiround Infector laughed and murmured
“You don’t want to lose your pet”
“You bastard, what do you mean by that?”
“Hehehe, it is like I said You are the owner of a pet so you should understand I’ve already absorbed 80 of his blood Racard has already become a part of me If I die then he will obviously die You should’ve already guessed since you tried to use Intimidation on me Huhuhu, you wouldn’t want to lose the loyal pet that still responded to its owner’s co absorbed do you?”
Ark’s eyes shook after hearing Infector’s words After thinking for a ainst Infector’s neck and said
“……Vomit out Racard immediately!”
Infector immediately closed his led and said
“Kukuku Okay No ood the food is, it is no use if I dieIf you really want the bat back then I will return him But I have some conditions Release me And move all the soldiers to the rear I will release that fellow as soon as my safety is secured
“Do you think I’ like that?”
“It is your choice whether to believe it or not”
Infector replied with a vile smile Ark was completely at a loss from Infector’s relaxed attitude In fact, that was the part that caught in Ark’sHe had been worried that Racard would be destroyed along with Racard Of course, there was a chance that wouldn’t happen However, he couldn’t risk Racard’s life on a gaive into Infector’s request
‘If I save Infector then he will spare Racard’
But Ark specialized in dirty tricks He wasn’t naive enough to believe that Infector would do what he promised
‘The proble the truth or not Will Racard really die along with hiure that how then I would kno to respond……’
Ark was conflicted about what to do Then he suddenly heard someone’s voice in his head
-Don’t be fooled Foreigner!
“What, what the?”
Ark looked around with bewilder the voice
-I areat Vampire Lord of Dark Earth
“Vampire referee?”
Ark thought aloud, causing Infector to flinch and angrily shout
“Vampire referee? Tarosu? T-that bastard! You’re still conscious……!”
“How do you know the vampire referee?”
Ark asked and kicked Infector a few tih and the voice of the vaain
-……It’s shameful to admit this but I was absorbed by Infector after he came to Dark Earth I was able to apply a shi+eld so that I wouldn’t lose consciousness while I was being absorbed And Infector is weakened so I can talk to you
The va the short time Infector was sent to Dark Earth? Ark looked at Infector with aed after flying to Dark Earth Before Infector had been sent away to Dark Earth, he had already absorbed 50 of Racard in 10 ain after he was sent to Dark Earth
‘Infector said Racard is still alive in his stomach Nevertheless, the absorption has stopped There must be a reason why’
Ark had thought about the reason while fighting However, he figured out the real reason after hearing the va Racard in order to absorb Tarosu
‘If that is true then I’m lucky because of Tarosu’
It was thanks to him that Racard’s absorption was stopped
“By the hy did you tell me not to be fooled?”
-After I entered Infector’s body, I became aware that Racard was also eaten Infector used the Kin Blood-sucking skill which had been sealed by the Va ti, he cannot voain
“W-what?”
Ark felt his heart drop at the Tarosu’s words In the end, there was no way to stop Racard’s extinction? Tarosu had just reconfirmed the fact that Racard wouldn’t survive
-My demise was inevitable from the moment I was eaten Now that I know the relationshi+p between you and Racard, I have no choice Now, foreigner who as succeeded Hero Maban’s will! There is no time to hesitate Strike doith your sword
“Won’t you die as well?”
-There is a reason I’veafraid of death It isn’t because I wasn’t willing to lose uy Instead of being killed by Master’s enemy, I would rather die with honour! Moreover, I want to help the person who has inherited Master’s will
“The person who has inherited your Master’s will?”
-That’s right I am Hero Maban’s summon
Tututudung!
Tarosu really said unbelievable words in this absurd situation Ark stared with a dumbfounded expression as Tarosu’s explanation came out of nowhere
-……A long ti on the blood of travellers Then I was seized while atteht it was all over then But he didn’t kill me On the contrary, he actually made me one of his summons He later became one of the 7 heroes and was called Hero Maban
Ark recalled a previous event that he experienced in Dark Earth The first time Ark had ing He didn’t knohy at the time but if Tarosu was Hero Maban’s pet then it was understandable He had spent hundreds of years longing for his master who disappeared
“By the hat did you mean by your Master’s enemy?”
Ark wondered and the vampire referee recalled the past
-The reason Hero Maban entered the land of the vampires was to meet with the Vampire Lord to request that he cut of relations with the Dark Lord
According to Tarosu, the vaed to the forces of darkness in the early days of the Dark Century And Hero Maban had gone alone to convince the Vae for visiting alone and met for a week to seriously discuss it It was at this point that Infector appeared Infector was the vampire referee at the time He had tricked the Va the s to convince the Vampire Lord to withdraw from the forces of darkness, Infector secretly snuck into Hero Maban’s room However, Hero Maban already knew about the relationshi+p between Infector and the Dark Lord Thanks to Hero Maban ht and trapped in a dungeon after incurring the Vae
-But Infector escaped fro after that Up until that moment, the Lord hadn’t known The Dark Lord had trained Infector in the ancient art of Kin Blood-sucking Infector used Kin Blood-sucking to steal the souls of countless va to the dark forces
The Vampire Lord broke off all relations with the Dark Lord after that event And while Hero Maban and the other heroes were fighting the Dark Lord, Tarosu had killed Infector But he was a stubborn villain He was once again restored with the power of the black obelisks It was the tangled history between Hero Maban and the vampire clan! Ark had accidentally discovered one of the hidden secrets of New World But that history was useless to Ark The only think that mattered to Ark was Racard who he had raised for 2 years
“Is there really no way to save Racard?”
-No That is the fearful part about Kin Blood-sucking Once Racard was absorbed, he becae then we receive da Racard
“Kukukuku, what did he say? Did he say there was a way?”
The sarcastic words fell from Infector’s mouth at that moment
“I guess I can’t deceive you anyrated into uys and I ae then they will also receive dae”
“This bastard……!”
Ark was about to angrily kick Infector again Then so rose in Ark’s head
‘Wait, they have no choice but to receive the sae as Infector?’
Infector was cla because he was fully aware there was no way to save Racard However, his words actually gave hi Racard
‘If I consider Tarosu and Infector’s words then there ht be a way to rescue Racard I don’t know if it will succeed or fail but it is o away even if I’m successful’
Ark’s thoughts spun furiously in his head
“Tarosu-nim, what kind of situation is Racard in now?”
-Racard is close to being fully absorbed by Infector It will take approximately 1 more minute until he is fully absorbed by Infector Even if I spread my shi+eld to him, he will only survive for another 10 er once we are fully absorbed This is the only chance to kill him
This was the problem that Ark orried about A considerable amount of time had passed since Racard was eaten and sent back to Dark Earth and now his absorption rate was at 90 Ark had thought theRacard was to separate him from Infector’s body It was impossible to save Racard’s stats when he had already been absorbed this much In other words, if the level 350 Racard was 90 absorbed then it meant Racard’s stats would become equivalent to level 35
‘Still, if there is a way then I have to save him’
Even if he saved Racard, he could no longer be useful as a summon
‘But……’
“Tarosu-nim, please listen to my words from now on and tell me whether it is possible or not”
Ark organized his thoughts before talking again And he explained the idea he had a while ago Tarosu considered before replying in an affirmative voice
-It is possible But……
“That’s okay I have a way to save Racard and referee-nim inside Infector’s body”
-What? Is that true?
“Yes, but to be exact I can’t save both of you
-Both of us? That’s right I also considered it after hearing the question you askedme to sacrifice myself for Racard?
“I’m really sorry But I can truly only save one person And if I have to pick there the choice is obvious”
Ark replied in a firm voice Tarosu replied after a moment of silence
-Hahahaha! You don’t care about anyone aside from your pet?
“No, you don’t have to go that far……”
-Great!
Tarosu shouted and interrupted Ark
-That’s it I understand your will And I’ve already lived for hundreds of years so death has noto me But that little felloith tears in his eyes probably doesn’t want to die Why would I hesitate? Then Foreigner who received Hero Maban’s will, I accept your offer!
He arranged the situation after everything was put in order
“A cannon!”
When Ark reached out his hand, one of the archers handed him a cannon
“Huck! T-these bastards…what on earth…n-no…… The way you devised won’t work! Are you really going to destroy the pet you raised? T-those words! You’ll fail……”
