chapter 25: 25: provocation
triton did not respond, but he knew that the vampire lord was right.
this person was a calamity level creature who did not belong to this world. he was a part of another world that had also become a part of god's domain.
no one knew why he came to this world, but a lot of things had changed since then.
there were 299 batches of players created in the last 299 years. however, most of those batches were dead.
two of those batches were killed by the person in front of him.
his wife was also a player in one of those batches.
most people wondered why the streamers did not attack the vampire city. but only a few remembered that it was because they did not want to lose more people.
even if they were able to destroy the vampire city, so what? they had to reserve their strength for much bigger problems. that's why the status quo was maintained with this city.
the vampire lord did not leave this city, and the streamers did not enter. that was the rule. if it was not for the tutorial, even triton would not have been able to enter.
he hated the vampire lord the most. every time he looked at the vampire lord, he was reminded of his wife who had died at his hands.
he wanted to kill this person. but he knew he was not strong enough. he was weak... even if he did not want to believe it, he knew it was the case.
if possible, he would have done everything in his power to kill the vampire lord. but he could only drink this poison and wait for the right time, even if he felt like his soul was dying every passing moment with regret.
the vampire lord took another sip of the blood from the crystal glass, amused by triton's restraint.
"blood is so tasteless nowadays. i still remember how delicious your wife's blood was that day. if only i could have just one more sip of that."
"i really should have let her live so i could cherish it longer."
even triton could see that the vampire lord was intentionally taunting him, trying to get him to attack.
....
kim seojin expertly traced the line of guidance, swiftly killing yet another vampire.
he knew that striking at their chest was useless. the only surefire way to eliminate a beginner vampire was to sever their head. with each precise strike, he skillfully beheaded the bloodthirsty creatures.
"that makes fifty," seojin declared, his voice filled with a mix of pride and weariness.
as he turned his gaze towards lee taehyung in the distance, seojin couldn't help but notice the lifeless bodies of over a hundred vampires.
their heads remained intact, but they all shared the same fate. they were dead.
"i'm not jealous of his ability," seojin repeated, though deep inside he acknowledged the truth.
while seojin relied on decapitation to kill the vampires, lee taehyung possessed the extraordinary power to obliterate their souls with a mere touch.
"can't you effortlessly eliminate even the stronger vampires? all you need is a single touch. that's truly an overpowering ability," seojin remarked.
"the balance of this world is really broken. you seem even stronger than triton."
closing the distance between them, seojin joined lee taehyung, knowing that for now, they had successfully cleared their path of danger.
"that is not the case. i can only kill the ones with weaker souls. my ability is still limited to my strength. if a stronger vampire comes, it won't affect them."
"similarly, it can't affect someone like triton. at least not the way it is now."
"anyway, we should get going. more vampires will be coming."
their aim wasn't to kill the vampires. it was to reach the centre of the city. but the city was so big, that it was taking too long.
even worse was the fact that the closer they came, the more they came across vampires.
