Seoul Station’s Necromancer Chapter 109:
Chapter 109 - Vampire Hunt
*Inside a dark alleyway . *
A man was embracing a woman wearing a miniskirt .
“Ah ah . ”
A moan leaked out of the woman's lips, and it sounded as if her strength was being leeched away . After a lengthy time, the man and woman separated from each other . The woman fell to the floor, and the man wipe the blood from his mouth as he laughed .
“Koo koo koo . Is this place a paradise?”
Humans with fresh blood was overflowing in this place .
He'd never seen a dimension with this many humans . He had already sampled the blood of 24 people today . In the past, he had to survive by drinking the blood of animals and monsters . If those bloods were like grass porridge, human blood was like sweet cookie .
He coveted more blood, but it was time for him to move .
“Kook . I have a lot of time . ”
He was the loyal vassal of Railer . His great lord was of the 7th Step, and he possessed 7 Thrones . His name was Veymort, and he was Railer's best scout . He was sent to earth, so he could find the most suitable dungeon his master could link to .
“I'll enjoy it slowly . ”
He had a lot of time . He'll look around the human world, and he'll slowly gather information . He'll have to find a place to sleep, when the morning sun ascends .
He was about to transform into a bat, when his expression suddenly hardened .
“Whew . I finally found you . ”
Veymort slowly turned his head when he heard the sound coming from behind him .
There were two men standing there . One was a pale young teen, and the other one was a well-built man with a dangerous atmosphere hanging around him . His instinctive wariness made Veymort take a step back .
“Uh-huh . Where are you going?”
“Who are you?”
“You don't really need to know . ”
When Woojin smiled, Veymort felt an unknown sense of threat to himself, so he quickly turned around . He jumped high into the sky to run away quickly, but the hand on his ankle pulled him backwards . He couldn't fly away .
Kwahhng!
As soon as Woojin grabbed Veymort's lower leg, he slammed the vampire to the floor . Woojin didn't stop there . He kept lifting Veymort up as he repeatedly slammed the vampire on the floor . In a flash, Veymort's face was ruined .
“Ooh-ooh-oohk . ”
Woojin stepped on the neck of the moaning Veymort .
“Koo-roo-rook . ”
As if he was having a hard time breath, Veymort let out a gurgling noise . After pressing down firmly with his foot, he called towards Jaemin, who was still standing at the entrance of the alleyway .
“Come here . ”
“…… . ”
He had heard a lot about it . He read numerous articles, and he had even watched the vids .
However, it was something else to confirm it with one's own eyes . The person called Kahng-woojin was amazing . The vampire, who had bitten him, could do nothing as Woojin dominated the vampire .
Jaemin thought Woojin was amazing, but he also felt fear within his heart .
Woojin took out a short sword from his inventory, and he raised it towards Jaemin, who was walking stiffly toward him with a fearful expression .
“Grab it . ”
When Jaemin awkwardly grabbed the shortsword, Woojin pointed below .
“Stab his heart . ”
“What?”
Jaemin was surprised, but Woojin spoke with an indifferent face .
“Hurry up and stab it . ”
“…… . ”
Jaemin's hands holding the shortsword was shaking .
“You don't want to live?”
“Ah . . . No, I want to . ”
He wanted to live, but he was also afraid . Jaemin sniffled .
“Uh . So how do I stab . . . ”
“Uh-whew . ”
Woojin put his hand around Jaemin's hand, which was grabbing onto the shortsword . Then he immediately lowered it towards Veymort's heart .
“Uh uh?”
When the tip of the sword touched the vampire's clothes, Woojin let go .
As if he was trying to catch the sword from falling, Jaemin crouched in an awkward position . Woojin spoke as he looked at Jaemin .
“Stab . ”
“H . . . hyuuuuung . ”
If he was going to help, he should help all the way… .
It was like a bungee jump . He didn't have the courage, so he wanted someone to forcefully push him off the platform . He could act as if he was reluctant, but he won't resist when he was pushed .
Currently, Jaemin didn't have any courage .
“You have to do it yourself . ”
“Hoo-ooh-oohk . ”
Woojin's voice was indifferent .
Tears and snot leaked out of Jaemin, and Woojin could only sigh when he saw this .
“When the sun comes up, you'll die and this **** will also die . However, this **** will probably be resurrected in his domain . ”
The vassal could be revived after receiving the master's favor . Woojin had read the Dimensional Domain Manual, so he was aware of this fact .
“Choose . You can die or you can absorb this **** to live as a vampire . It's your choice . ”
Woojin wasn't saving him .
He was just providing Jaemin with a choice . He could decide for himself if he wanted to live or not .
Woojin silently observed Jaemin's action .
“Hoo-oohk, hook . ”
Jaemin cried .
After throwing up blood, Veymort was looking up at him with a devastated expression . The vampire Veymort wasn't human . Several dozen thoughts flitted through Jaemin's head, and it made him hesitate on making a decision .
“The day is passing away . ”
“Hoo-oohk . Hoohk . ”
Jaemin wiped his tears with his sleeves .
He wanted to live . He had to live .
He didn't even have to make an excuse about his sister, who was crying for him right now .
He wanted to live . If he wanted to live then he had to kill .
The light in his eyes darkened . This **** had tried to kill him by sucking out his blood .
“Ooh-ahhhhk!”
Jaemin used his strength to stab down with the shortsword .
Too-toohk .
“Uh?”
The vampire's skin was thicker than he thought, and the short sword was having a hard time penetrating the skin . Woojin shook his head from side to side .
“Uh-whew . How can a guy be so weak? Hurry up and stab him . The sun will really rise for real soon . ”
“Yes, hyung . ”
Puh-uhk puhk, poo-oohk!
The first strike was the hardest, but once he hardened his heart, he was able to strike down with more force .
“I . . . I did it!”
Jaemin's happiness lasted only for a moment . Blood fountained forth from the pierced heart, and it dirtied Woojin and Jaemin' body . The scattered blood defied the law of gravity . It coalesced into grains of blood in midair, and it flowed into Jaemin's mouth .
Succession of Blood .
The servant inherits the master's blood, and one wakes up as a true vampire .
“Ooh-uhhhhhhhhk!”
The blood was being sucked into his mouth endlessly . Jaemin struggled as if he was about to pass out . When he drank all the blood, he crumpled to the floor .
“Ooh-oop!”
Just the thought of it made Jaemin's stomach turn, so he covered his mouth with both hands . He dry heaved several times, then tears started to fall .
“Hoo-oohk . Hook hook . ”
“You are a man, so why do you keep crying?”
“Hoo-ook . Hyung… . ”
“What?”
“The blood… It's so delicious . Hook hook . ”
It was sweet and delicious . It was better than any drink he's had before . The strange sensation and ecstasy made Jaemin cry .
It felt as if he had shed his human self . It made him very sad .
“Jeez . I thought… . Let's go after we wrap this up . ”
Veymort's body had turned into gray light, so they didn't need to take care of it . Woojin retrieved his Warrior's Weapon, and he changed it into a spear . Jaemin's eyes turned round when he saw Woojin approach the woman wearing a miniskirt .
“H . . . hyung! What are you going to do?”
“Huh? We have to take care of her and go . ”
“A p . . . p . . . p . . . per . . A person?”
“It'll be daybreak soon . Anyways, she'll turn into a mindless bloodsucking monster, so we have to take care of her . ”
“…… . ”
Woojin spoke so dispassionately when he talked about taking someone's life . Jaemin wondered if he really knew, who this person was . He felt a sense of incompatibility .
“What? Do you want to part with your own heart? Then you'll be able to save her . ”
“…… . ”
Woojin smirked when he saw the silent Jaemin .
“Are you really valuing a life of a woman, who only has 30 minutes left to her life? What if she turns into a blood sucking monster and kills a person . Don’t you value that person's life?”
“That's… . ”
He didn't have to even ask that question . The calculation was obvious, but how could he be so calm and cold about it?
“You want to do it?”
“N . . . no . ”
“You'll have to get used it . ”
What did he mean?
He'll watch Woojin kill a lot of people? Or was he talking about this crazy world that had changed so much?
Poo-oohk!
Woojin pierced the heart of the fallen woman with the pale face .
Jaemin closed his eyes tightly . Woojin smiled, when he saw this .
He was still soft and innocent .
Jaemin was like himself 5 years ago, who had stepped onto Alphen for the first time .
“Calm your thoughts . Slow down . ”
“Yes, hyung . ”
Well, he didn't have to be in a hurry . Jaemin will become tenacious like him or he'll continue to be soft and die . The choice was on him . If he wanted to live on, he had to own up to his own decisions .
“Go in before the sun comes up . ”
“Where?”
“Mmm . You can probably go there now . "
Woojin looked at Jaemin's level .
<Lv 15 Vampire Do-jaemin>
Jaemin had been level 5, so he had been a civilian instead of a Roused . However, the Ceremony of Blood increased his level by 10, so he was above the 1st circle now .
He wasn't a human now . He was a Roused .
The prerequisite to enter a Dungeon was met in his case .
Jeeeeeeeeng .
Woojin opened a portal that connected to his Dimensional Domain, Alandal .
“I'll send word ahead . Go in and find Bibi . ”
“…yes, hyung . ”
“Go pull yourself together . I'll be there soon . ”
“Yes, hyung . I'm sorry . ”
Jaemin was embarrassed .
He knew Woojin hadn't done anything wrong . He just felt a fear at an instinctual level .
Wasn’t this all done to save him? Woojin saved his inconsequential life . Jaemin wouldn't judge Woojin's morals .
Woojin smirked as he pushed Jaemin in the back .
“Just go in . You'll burn to death if you see sunlight . ”
“Heek . Yes . ”
When Jaemin passed through the portal, Woojin closed it immediately . The bright sunlight washed over Woojin after couple minutes . He let out a bitter laugh .
*
Daegoo's Dungeon Break happened contrary to the existing rules regarding Dungeons . When the Seoul's consecutive Dungeon Breaks happened not too long afterwards, the world fell into a state of shock .
The existing rule of a Dungeon Break happening after 30 days of a failed clear was debunked .
It wasn't only a problem that worried Korea . Any country, who possessed Dungeons, were on a state of high alert, and they were busy coming up with a solution .
Still, they had a great sample case they could study .
The unexpected Dungeon Breaks had devastated Seoul .
If the world was shocked, Seoul was in a state of panic .
A widespread exodus occurred .
No one wanted to live next to a Dungeon that might Break at any time .
Everyone was busy evacuating . The government tried to stop the chaos by saying they could suppress a daily Dungeon Break, but not many people believed those words .
The government tried to recover the public support that was broken, so they pressured the Alandal Guild to combat the Dungeon Break that could happen at any time .
Every media company packaged Alandal Guild Master Kahng-woojin as a hero, who will help Korea pass through this turbulent times . They expected him to protect Korea .
This caused the people to focus their expectations on Kahng-woojin . However, he was nowhere to be seen as if he had gone underground . Moreover, Guild Alandal's actions were questionable .
The price of the real estate had gone to **** . While everyone was leaving Seoul, Guild Alandal bought the land around the Seoul Station, and they were getting ready to move .
After two days, Seoul's roads were repaired . After four days, a little bit of calm returned to the people . On the fourth day, the people wanted a countermeasure for the Dungeon Breaks . The citizens occupied a square and they held a demonstration .
The crowd had a chance to turn violent, so the government was worried about the demonstrators . The only thing that could allay the anger and uncertainty of the people was Kahng-woojin, so the government kept trying to push Kahng-woojin forward .
However, when they searched Guild Alandal, he wasn't there . It seemed he was clearing a Dungeon, so they had no way of finding him .
On the fifth day, the congress and the Cheongwadae decided to suspend the plan of Sejong relocation project . The news was leaked to the media, and the size of the protests grew larger . The demonstration was turning tumultuous .
On that day, the Holy Maiden stepped onto Korean soil as she arrived at the Incheon airport .
“Look over there . ”
Melody got off the plane . She passed through the airport security with 7 Holy Knights guarding her .
“Wow… Jackpot . ”
Her beautiful appearance had the magic of pulling the gaze of the passersby towards her .
“Isn't that Melody?”
“Hul . You know that person?”
“You know . The Holy Maiden . I think I saw her on youtube… . ”
“Really?”
There were some who knew her, and some who didn't . Still, she received attention from everyone . She started walking calmly, and she stopped in front of a man at the entrance, who was holding up a placard .
“It's been awhile, Minchan . ”
Jung-minchan was surprised by her fluent Korean . Minchan smiled as he slowly bowed to greet her .
“You've come a long way . President is waiting for you . ”
Jung-minchan had come to the airport to greet her . He guided Melody and the Holy Knights to Alandal Guild's new location .
“Please come this way . I'll hold that for you . ”
“It's all right . ”
She declined his offer with a smile on her mouth . She clutched the small bag as if something important was in it . The Immortal had asked for this 'document', and it was within this bag .
