I Fell into the Game with Instant Kill

Chapter 40.1: Blood Magic (3)

Oh, fuck…

I looked around the vampires everywhere while maintaining my poker face.

The floating veil brilliantly blocked all the rushing attacks.

Even in the game, this absolute defense, which was a 9-star skill, could not be penetrated by just this level.

But that was the end.

The only thing I could do in this situation was to stand still and defend, and I was just bluffing. If I opened my mouth, it would be over.

Still, the vampires all froze on the spot.

Now what?

If a full-fledged battle continued like this, we were going to lose.

I was too busy protecting my body, so it’s hard to use instant kill.

And this was their home. It was possible for them to continuously replenish power.

No matter how much vampire Asher defeated, it would just be a fight with no end.

Damn, should I have been more careful about coming to this forest?

“···I.”

I turned my gaze away when I heard a bewildered voice next to me.

Asher, who was almost in my arms, couldn’t find a place to turn her gaze.

I sighed and let go of her shoulders. I was so nervous that I forgot.

Asher looked around the ruined radius with a slightly puzzled face.

I had never used the Floating Veil in front of her, except for a brief use during the Orc King’s attack.

I looked at the chief warrior again and said.

“Are you going to do more?”

The only thing I could do was to bluff, so I had no choice but to overcome the situation with that.

He didn’t respond and just stared at me. There was a look of tension in his eyes that differed from before.

“You were so confident before. How stupid.”

“···”

“You don’t know who I am, and you don’t know how much power gap there is between us. You should be glad that I don’t have any hostility towards you. Or your tribe would have all perished today.”

“Human, who are you?”

At my words, he asked with an angry expression.

It was the flow of conversation that I intended, so I tried to answer right away. And that was the moment.

“···?”

I sensed someone rushing from afar at a formidable speed.

Shwaah!

A bloody sphere that flew through the trees, drawing traces that were drooping.

The vampires looked at the sphere in surprise.

A sphere stopped in front of me. A little further from where I was standing, it slowly formed into a person and a woman appeared.

She put on the robe that she took out from the sphere and put it over her messy hair.

【Lv. 67]

“···Sister!”

The chief warrior shouted in amazement.

At that call, I immediately knew her identity.

Chieftain?

Aklina, chieftain of the Elrod Forest tribe.

It was just her unique blood technique to turn the body into blood itself.

After the chief warrior, now the chieftain had come out.

“You’re too close, sister! He’s a dangerous human, so step back!”

She looked around the ruins once and met my eyes.

“I heard that there are humans who rescued young vampires… Please explain what the situation is, Calderban.”

The chief warrior seemed to flinch at her cold voice.

“You did not report about what happened and then even attacked them?”

The chief warrior and the other vampires could say nothing.

The chieftain let out a small sigh and looked towards me. Her eyes and mine met.

“I am the chieftain, Aklina.”

“···”

“On behalf of the tribe, I sincerely apologize for the atrocities committed by my tribe members.”

I was relieved once I heard that.

It was because her attitude showed that she had no intention of attacking us.

Unlike the warriors, who were especially wary and hostile toward other races in the game, the chieftain had a relatively finite personality, like the head of a peaceful tribe.

Still, since they attacked first, I said.

“If it were any other ordinary human who came to this forest, they would have already died. Are you going to apologize to the cold corpse like you do now?”

The chieftain sighed once more and said.

“As you know, the awareness of vampires in the world is not very good. This is the only place we can live normally, so we have to be extremely sensitive to other races entering our tribe’s land. Please understand our situation a little.”

I just clicked my tongue once and said nothing more.

Anyway, I came all the way here, because I had my purpose.

But before that…

“I am the Seventh Lord of Calderic.”

Originally, I had no intention of saying anything. Because they would only be more vigilant.

However, given the situation, it’s important to make sure that none of what happened earlier happened again.

The topic I wanted to discuss with them was also a very sensitive issue directly related to the fate of their tribe.

At my words, the vampires, including the chieftain and the chief warrior, all seemed to be startled.

Even those who lived far away from the world cannot be unaware of the status and strength of the existence of a Lord in Calderic.

“A Lord?”

In particular, it was noticeable that the expression of the chieftain, who had remained calm, collapsed in an instant.

She asked in a slightly trembling voice.

“··· As I recall, the Seventh Lord is not a human, but a beastman.”

What she was talking about was the former Seventh Lord.

She didn’t even know that the Seventh Lord’s seat was vacated by his death and that I had recently occupied it. Because in this forest, it was almost impossible to be updated from the current news.

“The former Seventh Lord was dead. And I am the new lord.”
