Chapter 97 (1/2)

I swung the sword. I joined Kelby and attacked the monsters with the dancing sword. No injuries or anything dangerous happened, but saving my physical strength is quite struggling.

…

…

I felt the vampires’ movements.

Count Kryubal, who had been watching so far, is approaching me slowly. His eyes looked red like a sunset. He is using a powerful method of mental domination to control the monsters around him.

An intense light shone behind his head. I felt something. The desire to kneel and worship him.

But then…

“Oh come on.”

If I will combine all of my equipment and skills, it will amount to two hundred billion won in cash.

Is this a joke?

I was awakened by the thought of it.

Count Kryubal’s eyes narrowed. He didn’t say anything but he looks so pissed that he won’t be able to control me.

Soon after, he pointed at me.

The monsters started to move towards me. They are being controlled by this Count.

A level 3 Grizzly Bear attacked my face. I moved quickly and stabbed him. The bear’s claws struck my body.

Poook!

Klaaang!

The claws bounced out of my armor, and blood came out of his chest.

I cut him using the sword from his chest to his groin. It was as easily cut as if it was a tofu. Beast-type monster is no threat to me now.

The Desert Lobster wielded its claws. The dancing sword was able to break the shell.

Beast-type monsters will deal with the long sword of Kangta, and those who are non- beast-type monsters will deal with the Toyul hammer. I’m well skilled enough to change my weapons while attacking.

The vampires didn’t interfere in the battle but they just continued commanding the monsters to attack us. I think that they just don’t want to join the other type monsters in attacking us, no other reason.

The vampire itself is not a monster with a strong power attack, so there’s probably no difference even if they join these other monsters. Unlike other monsters, these vampires keep their own social identities. Besides, their nonsensical survival power is a bonus.

Panting.

I breathe hard. Even if my endurance is superior, the continuous battle has devastated my stamina to serious level.

I can run all day long and will not be tired, I’m confident about that. But this battle is different. In a situation where my adrenaline rises like a storm, even if I try breathing deeply, I will still lose my physical strength. However, I got not that much problem because Kelby and the dancing sword are helping and dealing with the rough monsters.

There are hundreds of monsters earlier but now, I can count them by hands.

Clap. Clap. Clap.

Count Kryubal clapped his white, long hand.

Is he watching a movie? This punk, just wait, the rest of you will die.

“The guy who is protecting the portal and shouting to the monsters, controlling them.” I said.

I can’t control myself without saying a word.

“Yeah. I was like that.” He answered.

“Are you talking like it happened a long time ago? It was just earlier, though.”

“Who are you?”

“Don’t change the subject.And shouldn’t you attack first before asking that question?”

“You’re obviously a human, and if you know anything about the portal, then there must be someone who told you….. is it Barras?”

“No. But similar to him.”

“It’s Edward, then.”

“You got it right. No prizes, though.”

As I was talking, I turned the dancing sword towards the portal. The portal is still not broken. But soon, Edward’s words came to my mind. Even if it’s a vampire, it can also die if I continuously kills it. In other words, the portal will break down until it is destroyed.

There’s no other way, so I think I can do that way, then.

Let’s do this!

“Count Kryubal!” One of the vampires shouted at the dancing sword’s movement.

Count Kryubal looked so angry. He shook his hand hastily. Red aura and the dancing sword met. I know the power of that attack. It’s not enough to beat the dancing sword.

But it seems that the trajectory or path towards the target changed slightly. The dancing sword’s trajectory was shaken by the Count Kryubal’s attack. The dancing sword cannot solve everything.

“What a useless attack.” He spoke with a smirk.

Behind Count Kryubal, Kelby opened his huge mouth.

I was surprised to see him. Since when did he go there?

He bite the Count’s head.

The head of Count Kryubal was torn and his body just stumbled.
