Red claws with sharpness comparable to that of a famous sword were pointed at me.

‘Bloodline. I’ve poured in enough magic to create dozens of blood spears.’

The vampire’s blood that had been swung at his neck spilled out with his dagger.

The vampire’s nails collided with the dagger and sparks flew.

‘The handle is cracked. If I block the attack from the front a few more times, it will break at all.’

However, regardless of my circumstances, the vampire’s attacks continued.

The vampire’s opposite hand, which was thrown out one after another, was aiming for the heart, not the head.

It was an attack that was just a quick and strong blow, but it was impossible to avoid it in time.

‘Leave it and go into the bosom and give it a shot.’

However, it would have been a tougher fight if he had shot blood spears while flying through the sky like he did earlier.

Because the only ranged attack I could do was to throw memorization.

I wondered if I could even get a scratch even if I matched it properly.

‘It’s impossible to knock it down in one blow, but at least one effective hit… .’

kaga gak-

A roar echoed as the nails collided with the blade of the dagger.

The shock transmitted by hand was greater than before.

However, the shock caused by the vampire’s attack did not continue.

snap-

A very unpleasant sound came to my ears.

‘Didn’t the handle hold up?’

In the end, the handle of the dagger broke before my hand.

The blade escaped from my hand and flew through my cheek.

Before long, the vampire’s red claws were thrust into my heart.

* * *

The vampire’s red claws, which were thrust through a trajectory that precisely penetrated Hanzo’s heart, contained the power to break rocks and cut iron.

That’s why it was only natural to tear a fragile human heart to such an extent that its original form could not be recognized.

It should have been.

‘what?’

The attack was blocked by something unknown and hard.

Because of this, the claws that were supposed to pierce Hanzo’s heart ended up ripping through his clothes.

It couldn’t reach the skin, flesh, bones, and tiny pulsating heart that should have been inside.

“Ouch… .”

As Hanzo’s body flinched and moved slightly, the vampire panicked and distanced himself from the unexpected situation.

Something was strange.

The magic power wrapped around the fingertips, and the nails made of the blood that grew from it were broken from the middle.

‘Is it correct to say that this is broken? went apart Or to express that it was eaten by something… .’

It wasn’t too difficult to repair the severed bloody fingernails.

The regrown fingernails had the same sharpness compared to before.

‘Strange.’

However, the vampire began to feel strangely uneasy.

That feeling, like touching something that shouldn’t be touched.

He tried to erase those feelings and raised his guard against Hanzo.

‘It’s an unexpected variable, but I thought it was negligible.’

only one human

He was a human who seemed like he could easily defeat it with just two or three low-ranking vampires, without having to step out himself.

‘The art of talking softly seemed to be very good, but the skills seemed to be less than half of that.’

It was much better than I thought, but that was it.

I couldn’t win the anger and took out the blood vessel, but it was an existence that didn’t even need to use it.

‘Because I only used the blood spear to play with it until the middle.’

<Prison of Blood>, which was activated by consuming all the lives of the troops she led, was a skill that even Eleanor could not easily break.

Even if he couldn’t, he would earn more than an hour.

No matter how hard he struggled, he didn’t think that only one human could last an hour against him.

While the vampire was lost in thought for a moment, Hanzo opened his mouth to complain.

“Kekkeek, at least three ribs seem to have come out.”

The vampire’s eyes didn’t miss the movement of Hanzo’s hand.

His hand reached into his arms, around his heart, and he could see that he was pulling out ‘something’ that had blocked his bloodline.

What was taken out like that had an unexpected appearance.

‘A rusty iron rod?’

No wonder he thought so.

I couldn’t guess the original shape from the thick rust, and even half of it was missing.

It was also because of the white cloth wrapped around it instead of the handle, so recognizing it as a sword was impossible with a normal eye.

“What is that scrap metal?”

A strange feeling of uneasiness that I hadn’t felt before.

It was not difficult to understand that the cause of it was that.

“this? A self-proclaimed Yodo who can use nine amazing abilities.”

“… … ?”

The vampire couldn’t understand what the hell Hanzo was talking about.

* * *

“It’s a big deal.”

Inside the black sphere that confined Eleanor was a circular space with ambiguous standards for floors and walls.

It was about the size of a small alcove, and was wider inside than it looked on the outside.

In such a dark space where not a single light came in, a small ember lit up.

“I thought I could survive this far.”

Eleanor let out a sigh mixed with admiration.

There were three reagent bottles rolling at her feet.

Each one had no special effect, but it was a special object made to have an effect only when mixed and used.

The reason for adopting such a cumbersome storage method was because of safety concerns.

“It should have reproduced the dragon’s breath, but the surface was only scorched.”

A living, breathing natural disaster that burns mountains and dries up lakes with a single breath.

Even though the dragon’s breath was perfectly reproduced, the burning floor returned to its original state shortly after.

“It’s a waste.”

In terms of magic, it’s the 7th circle.

The scale would be inferior, but the power alone exceeded the magic of the 6th circle.

Among the reagents she can make, it’s an item that boasts the worst difficulty.

It was also a reagent that I had not yet been able to teach my student Han So-yul how to make because of the difficult production method.

‘There’s an extra, but with this, I’ll be in the red for a while.’

However, it was impossible to use common materials to make such a thing.

Of course, it was filled with famous and expensive ingredients that would be familiar even to ordinary people who are unfamiliar with alchemy.

It required a lot of materials that could not be obtained even with money.

“If burning doesn’t work, how about freezing or crushing it?”

Subsequently, a few more people used magic to create small traces, but these were also restored to their original state shortly after.

There was a hint of persistence in not letting her out of here.

If I could make even a small hole, I would be able to tear through the space with that starting point.

‘The broken walls and floors are repaired faster than the speed at which I break them.’

If the war of attrition were to begin, it was clear that Eleanor would be the first to fall.

“It’s quite painful that the cane doesn’t perform as well as it should.”

The cane she was holding did not have the presence of a giant tree like before.

The staff made from the branches of the world tree borrows the power of the vast earth to amplify the user’s magical power.

Therefore, there was a fatal flaw that it could not demonstrate its performance in a space that was disconnected from the outside.

“I don’t know who came up with it, but someone who knows me quite well prepared it.”

It was not a skill that could be prepared and used in just a day or two.

It wouldn’t have been easy to deal with it even if his eyes weren’t blurred by anger, even if his senses weren’t dulled by the long battle.

‘To begin with, it’s ridiculous to activate a tricky technique that distorts and isolates space in such a short time.’

It wasn’t that there weren’t people who could do that, but it wasn’t something that only vampires could do.

Eleanor could do similar things, but she needed to spend almost half a year preparing for the base.

“It looks more like witchcraft than magic. If you want to recreate it, it will be more difficult.”

Unlike magic, which always produces the same result, witchcraft, even if it is invoked the same way, has slightly different results.

And unlike magical power, which cannot accommodate more than a certain amount of magical power, there is no limit to the limits of witchcraft.

‘The phenomenon of confinement itself was fixed with magic, and the power was increased by overlaying magic on top of it.’

To put it simply, magic was strengthened by adding mana using witchcraft.

In addition, magic and sorcery were intricately intertwined, and it seemed impossible to separate the two.

‘The magic of Circle 6 has been strengthened to the level of Circle 7 or higher.’

The vampires who were there were all living things.

If I had known this beforehand, I would have shattered it instead of burying it alive.

‘In addition, he even hid it as if the vampire who was left alone had invoked this technique.’

He’s thorough enough to put up a scarecrow, so it’s probably impossible to track back from the magic that was activated.

“Who is behind?”

It was not a tactic that could come from the head of a vampire who fundamentally sees people as inferior to themselves.

There is a dark curtain that moved the vampire from behind.

But who it was was not even outlined.

“It was a mistake to come out with only a stick.”

Even an alchemist cannot create something out of nothing.

Since the space is a distorted place, her pockets connected to the sub-space were not performing properly.

Just taking out the reagent bottle needed to reproduce the dragon’s breath had to consume a considerable amount of time.

“If this is the case, the only thing left to do is interpret the spell in reverse and break it down.”

The problem wasn’t the magic that this technique was used for, but the incantation.

Her major was alchemy, but magic was a minor.

Witchcraft only had knowledge at the liberal arts level.

“I think it will take some time.”

Eleanor thought of the student who was drugged and in a deep sleep without knowing anything, and the school friend she had brought with her.

“I regret that I shouted out loud that I would come back soon.”

I should have told you to run away.

There was only one vampire left, but that one was the best of the bunch.

I couldn’t handle it at the student level.

“I should have given you some reagent in advance.”

Even if I had regrets like that, I couldn’t undo what had already happened.

Hoping that he would be able to get out of here without being late, he drank the poison in succession.

Even if I ate just one, I ate three reagents the next day.

She was afraid of tomorrow, but collateralizing the future for the present was something she had done many times.

‘Maybe it’s because he’s young, he seems to be taking medicine better than usual.’

With my head spinning dozens of times as usual, I began to analyze and understand everything that made up this space.

She didn’t expect Hanzo to defeat the vampire.

He desperately hoped that he would endure a little longer, that he would stay alive until he got out of here.
