Episode 135:


    The vampire’s sense of smell was so excellent that it was doubtful whether he was a human being, and he was famous among the demonic cultists.


    Some people even called him a devil dog.


    Of course, there was no one who could say that derogatory title in front of the person involved.


    ‘It’s going to smell pretty bad, but I’m not sure if that old man can stand it.’


    The face of the vampire demon chasing after me through the poisonous smoke was distorted like a vicious beast.


    He shouted, pouring out dozens of rays of sword energy forward.


    “What a piece of shit!”


    I used my best self-defense gear to protect my back.


    I didn’t even have time to fight back.


    If we slowed down and the siege waspleted, there was no hope of survival.


    Boom!


    Although the attack was safely received, the shock was notpletely resolved.


    A feeling of internal organs shaking.


    Nausea rose up in me.


    If he hadn’t been wearing the Cheonjamboi under his outer clothing, he would have suffered quite a few internal injuries.


    ‘It’s too bad, but we will never fight until we reach the ce where the camp is set up.’


    I nced back and muttered in my mind.


    There was no chance of victory in a head-on confrontation.


    I had no intention of going overboard until a favorable environment was established here.


    ‘Well, even with the help of Jinbeop, the probability of winning is low.’


    He took out the leather pouch from his pocket again and threw it behind him.


    When I fired my sword energy and burst the pouch, poisonous smoke spread out and covered the entire area.


    The vampire cursed andunched a new weapon to the left.


    ‘As expected, he’s avoiding it.’


    I smiled, showing my teeth.


    The vampire’s ghost-like sense of smell was both a strength and a weakness at the same time.


    There was no way such a low-level poison would work on a master who had reached absolute perfection.


    Nevertheless, the vampire demon was showing extreme caution against poisonous smoke.


    ‘In the first ce, we avoid poop not because we are afraid, but because it is dirty.’


    There are things that cannot be epted physiologically by anyone.


    In the case of the blood-sucking magic agent, it was a stench.


    Of course, if it had been an urgent situation, he would have ignored the sarcasm and focused on narrowing the distance between himself and me.


    However, the vampire had an arrogant personality.


    Because the foundation was based on the confidence that he would never lose sight of his opponent, there was a sense ofposure in his movements.


    There was a gap there.


    Currently, I had ten more leather pouches containing the same type of poison in my arms.


    If you use them one by one at the right moment, you can see great results.


    ‘It will also have the effect of provoking the opponent.’


    The conversation I had with Damun a few days ago shed through my mind.


    [Is the formation well prepared?]


    [Yes. However, there is one thing I am worried about.]


    [What am I worried about?]


    [I think I will be able to create the formation you requested. But how do you n to trap the vampire in the true form?]


    [You don’t have to worry about that. The Vampire Demon is a person with the exact opposite tendency of the Assassin Army.] [


    Are you saying he has an arrogant disposition?]


    [Even if he were to notice that he was being led to a specific location, he wouldn’t mind. He must be confident that no trap will harm him.]


    [Hmm.]


    [The problem is that he really is a person with that ability.]


    [……..]


    [Anyway, he uses the blood-sucking magic agent in his true form. It wouldn’t be that difficult to trap them. It will be easier if you ce the medicine right in the middle of luring it.]


    I kicked the branches one after another to gather my thoughts in my head.


    Dokgo Woojin has not yet arrived in Gwiju.


    I had to somehow defeat the vampire demon on my own.


    ‘It’s a desperate situation, but it doesn’t mean there is no way out.’


    Quang! Quang!


    A chunk of strong energy flew in from behind and was blocked by the brain energy membrane, causing an explosion.


    I used that repulsion to leap high into the sky.


    The whistle sounded loudly.


    It seemed like the demons hiding here and there had discovered me and sent a signal to their colleagues.


    Just as they knew my location, I also knew theirs.


    ‘I just have to deal with the vampire somehow.’


    Absolutely! Quick!


    The brain energy expressed through the tips of the feet was condensed to a point in the air, forming the shape of a sphere.


    I kicked it hard and fired the new model forward.


    * * *


    Beep! Beep!


    The sound of whistles echoing everywhere.


    Damun and Tang Seoyeon immediately raised their heads and looked around.


    “It’sing.”


    “I saw the branch leader for a moment. “Maybe he showed up on purpose to send us a signal.”


    “I wonder if it’s really going to be okay….”


    “For now, I have no choice but to trust the branch manager. “For now, let’s join warrior Seo and leave.”


    “All right.”


    Damun took out the fetish from his bosom and threw it on the floor.


    A heterogeneous wave encroached on the area.


    Soon, smoke began to rise from the floor.


    * * *


    “You bastard! Just give up!”


    After throwing away thest leather bag, I stood in front of the space shrouded in fog and looked back.


    The vampire demon who retreated from the poisonous smoke red at me with an annoyed expression and asked.


    “How long are you nning on running away like a loach?”


    “Although I reached a high level at a young age, I did not lose my discernment. “Where in the world would there be a fool who would go toe-to-toe with an absolute expert?”


    “I’m finally hearing your voice. “I wondered if he was mute because he couldn’t say a word.”


    “You didn’t even give me time to talk.”


    “That’s right. “But what were you thinking that brought me here?”


    “I think you’ve barely noticed.”


    “If you are thinking of using Jinbeop to get rid of me, give up.”


    “Unfortunately, I am someone who doesn’t know what it means to give up.”


    “Looking at it, it looks like it’s a type of magic trick that deceives the senses.”


    “…….”


    “I can assure you. You will never escape me.”


    “We’ll just have to wait and see.”


    I threw myself into the smoke with a provocative smile on my face.


    The vampire demon followed me into the camp without any hesitation.


    He looked around leisurely and let out an exmation.


    “The power of Jinbeop is quite amazing. The smoke was so thick that even I couldn’t see an inch in front of me. In addition, there is a dulling of the senses.”


    He stuck out his red tongue, skimmed his lips, and held the sword in both hands.


    The energy that had been swaying along the surface of the sword rose and took on a clear shape.


    Expression of swordsmanship.


    The changes didn’t stop there.


    The solid steel lost its shape and crumbled.


    The gathered energy transformed into a wavering form again.


    Ugh!


    A swordsmanship arose.


    A terrifying wave engulfed the entire area.


    The condensation of sword energy ismonly referred to as sword strength.


    What about the condensate of the gum river?


    ‘Intangible sword.’


    On the surface, it was simr to sword energy, but the size of the inherent energy was so enormous that it could not bepared.


    ‘I thought it woulde out that way.’


    I, who was watching the Vampire Demon from afar without any sign of it, kicked off the ground and rushed towards the opponent’s side.


    An intangible sword, an art that is exclusive to masters who have reached the level of enlightenment.


    Originally, the intangible sword was an extremely difficult technique to use in actualbat.


    It took a considerable amount of time to cast, required a huge amount of internal energy, and was too powerful to be used to shatter even human skin.


    Should I say it is like using a cow knife to kill a chicken?


    It was never a technique that could be used in person-to-personbat.


    ‘A surprise attack is made and the energy is dispersed before the power reaches its critical point.’


    If the Vampire Demon made up his mind and swung his intangible sword, the formation would copse in an instant.


    It wasn’t a formation that took a long time to create.


    It was nothing more than an ankle-grabbing maze that began production only after confirming the existence of the blood-sucking demon.


    Although expensive castings were used generously to increase power, durability could not be guaranteed.


    That’s why I decided to be trapped in the battle with the vampire demon.


    To keep him in check so that he cannot destroy the Jinbeop.


    [Take this.]


    [What is this?]


    [It is an object connected to the main object and main force, which is the central core of the Jinbeop. If you have this, you will be rtively less affected by the formation.]


    [I understand.]


    Thanks to the casting I received from Damun in advance, I was able to easily determine the location of the vampire army even within the formation.


    “That’s it.”


    The vampire turned to me with a creepy smile on his lips.


    It seemed like he had predicted my movements just as I had predicted his movements.


    The magical energy that had been swaying along the surface of the sword copsed in an instant.


    At the same time, the energy that had been weighing heavily on the area disappeared as if washed away.


    ‘The intangible sword was just bait to catch me.’


    He extinguished the intangible sword without any hesitation and struck the ground with his raised right foot.


    Kwaaaaang!


    There was a huge crash sound.


    A tremendous shock wave swept through the area.


    The earth shook as if there had been an earthquake.


    Pow!


    Instead of hitting the ground, I kicked the sphere of Noegi and prated into the gap between the opponent and immediately unleashed a herbivorous attack with the Wolyeonggeom.


    The second herbivorous month (殘月).


    The sword strike, whose presence was momentarily erased, dug into the side of the vampire demon.


    But I couldn’t feel the touch I was supposed to feel.


    ‘Lee Hyeong Hwan Wei (以形換位)!’


    I immediatelyunched the new model to the left.


    Immediately after I rolled across the floor and left my seat, a torrent of rain poured down and hit the ground roughly.


    Kwagwagwagwagwang!


    ‘If I had been a littlete in noticing, I would have left this world.’


    I sighed in relief, corrected my posture, and raised my head.


    When I saw that the sword engulfed in red water was falling on my head, I reflexively swung the sword and struck back.


    The fifth herbivorous half moon.


    The sword, engulfed in the blue river, rose up in a semicircr trajectory.


    The moment when the blue river and the red river meet each other.


    “Sigh!”


    I immediately changed the trajectory of my sword and mmed the opponent’s sword into the ground.


    It was the best move he came up with in a moment to let go of the attack and break the opponent’s bnce at the same time.


    However, the vampire did not take it lightly.


    He let go of the sword without any hesitation, snorted and kicked me with his right foot.


    Wow!


    I raised my left arm to defend myself, but I could notpletely relieve the shock.


    The body that had been thrown out rolled around on the ground miserably.


    “Ugh… … .”


    I shook my numb left arm and straightened my posture.


    It was swollen, but luckily it didn’t seem like any bones were broken.


    ‘First of all, I seeded in drawing the opponent into a battlefield that was advantageous to me.’


    Once the vampire entered, there was only one way to escape the maze.


    Breaking down the central axis.


    However, I had no intention of just watching him break the line.


    ‘Let’s hit and fight until one of us dies. ‘A nobleman of the eight great demons.’
