Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint

The ammunition has run out. Not expecting much from the bullets, Delta approached the coffin, aiming an empty gun.

“monster! You are just a monster!”

[It’s a word I hear often, so it’s shockingly uninspiring.]

Delta’s heart swirled. All sorts of emotions are swirling around, so even I can’t read them clearly. Fear of death, anger beyond that, love, loss, and vengeance.

The one wind that I can feel through filtering is…

‘You must be sick too…!’

A ray of wind barely bloomed at the bottom of this abyss. I watched it just in case, and this is the result.

‘I don’t believe you can kill it. I just want to convey at least 10% of this sadness and pain to that monster! If bullets can’t hurt that monster’s body, even its heart!’

Delta That looks easy.

Language is also a tool. Only those who have dealt with it often can use it properly. It’s impossible for you who can’t speak properly.

“Yes dear! you are good It must be a great ancestor! Stay a monster forever and live as a monster until the end of the world!”

I know what you’re trying to say. That you will be lonely forever, that you will remain a monster until the end of the world, that you will die without feeling or knowing anything.

If only I had refined it a little more, understood the opponent more, and spit it out. Maybe it hurt the founder’s small wish. Delta never got there.

[Your cry is the same. If your lover is so important, head to the same place.]

Darkness covers Delta. Delta’s feet rise from the ground. At that moment, Delta had a gut feeling of death.

In fact, Delta has already committed suicide. I took my feet off the edge of the cliff, and the only thing left was when to collide with the bottom.

It took quite a while for a suicide, but the end came. Shijo said.

[I hope you all go to heaven. Since I won’t be there, it must be a good thing for both of us.]

Delta struggled while hearing the blessing that was not the blessing of the founder. Not because I want to live, but because I want to achieve something before I die.

‘Somehow… even if it’s just a little bit of the pain I’ve been through…’

In the gradually fading consciousness, Delta strongly desired the pain of the founder. Even while blood engulfs his body and gnaws at his bones and flesh. I only wished for that while feeling terrible pain.

A human who had been Elsie Clark for most of her life and Delta in Abyss died like that, leaving behind only a soggy aftertaste.

I fell to Tantalus with grandiose intentions, gave up my cause at the bottom, and found trivial happiness, but I couldn’t achieve it and fell asleep inside me.

It’s an unfair death. Humans, who were only beasts, knew that they would die. Love, the cause, and the unseen, they even risk their own lives. Some might call it romantic and exalt it, but to me it just looks silly.

however.

I am the king of such fools.

‘I’ is the king of broken beasts who often throws his life at the mercy of something invisible…

ah. I have to be normal.

[Given enough time. I also showed you an example. Are your worries over?]

The arrogant founder said.

iced coffee. He is a pitiful being who, having lived for so long, tried to define himself as a phenomenon.

Obviously, your wish is to return to being a human. Why do you want to become a god? Do you want to be understood by everyone?

you are not god At best, he’s nothing more than the king of vampires… and even half of him can’t even represent them.

I casually opened my mouth.

“Since the two of them just died, I should get some more. Please save me and save the rest of my comrades.”

[You are greedy. There are limits to being forced.]

”Instead, I will make your heart beat again.”

While Shijo flinched as if stabbed by something, he twisted his body and headed towards Finlay, who quietly lowered his head. The founder’s order was still in effect, so even when Delta died, he kept his mouth shut.

‘ha ha ha! looks good yes this is it! Now the food chain is right! Hahahaha!’

He kept his mouth shut, and his thoughts were still boisterous.

What I brought was the stake that had penetrated Finlay and the Undead’s arm. As he raised the stake and approached, his expression changed moment by moment.

‘There’s no way a human being could harm the founder! Quit-quick. okay! This is right… Huh? What is that guy doing…? As long as the founder exists, I won’t die from a stake.’

“Set Lee Volt.”

He drove a stake into Finlay’s heart and poured lightning magic into the tip. An electric current runs through the stake and through Finlay’s heart. Finlay’s body trembled.

‘Oops. what? This harmless but unpleasant attack…?’

It is a weak electric shock that is difficult to kill even humans. It can’t work against vampires. Finlay was fine. It was when Finlay, who had been suddenly attacked, was in a fit of rage and was about to ask the founder for permission to kill me.

said to Shijo.

“Did you feel it? Finlay’s heart responds.”

I read it of course. Finlay is now in the realm of the founder, and every movement of blood is exposed to the senses of the founder. Sijo must have read the movement of the blood as if looking at the palm.

Shijo didn’t answer. After reading the affirmation in the silence, he shrugged his shoulders and explained.

“I heard that vampires don’t have a beating heart. Blood is transferred to all parts of the body through hematopoiesis. That’s obviously great, but it’s still more comfortable with a heart, right? It’s cumbersome to move one by one. how is it? My electric shock might be able to make your heart beat.”

‘what? suddenly. What is this cheeky human saying to the ancestor…! What are you up to, Hughes!’

response came. The lid of the coffin was opened and the ephemeral girl who seemed to have lost her color stood up. Shijo, who revealed himself after a few hundred years, showed great interest in new knowledge about the heart.

“Is it really? Can it really move the heart?”

“Of course, my electric shock may not work on the founder. Since the ancestors are so mighty… However, it is known that the human heart works in this way. Wouldn’t there be a reaction if it was the same principle?”

‘what? There’s no way a human like this could harm the ancestors…! But why is it so ominous that my body trembles? Something is dangerous…!’

No matter how progenitor, there is a reluctance to reveal one’s heart to others. But that’s not because I’m worried about breaking my heart, it’s because I’m ashamed to show my inner flesh.

Shame is defeated by desire. Same goes for Sijo.

Desire overpowered shame. With the intention of being deceived even once, the founder cut his chest along with his clothes. The beautiful fabric cracked open, exposing the hideous inside of the body.

Shijo said.

“then. Try it sometime.”

“If you succeed, you will stop fighting. Please protect me too.”

“Shouldn’t we be worried about failure?”

“I am not concerned about meaningless things. Do you want anything more than to die?”

Even in the midst of talking with Shijo, Finlay’s desperate inner cry was heard.

‘Sire! No. please no! That guy is in danger now. Even if you don’t know the method, even if you don’t know the intention…! I’m sure he’ll do something…! Progenitor!’

But the Sijo’s command is absolute, and Finlay must keep his mouth shut. Because the sijo didn’t allow it.

He smiled so that only Finlay could see it and headed towards Shijo. With something deadly concealed in his electric-crackling hands.

Today is the day everyone wishes come true.

Shijo will regain the feelings he had dreamed of, and as Finlay wishes, he will end his long seclusion and go out into the world.

Humans are creatures that kill themselves for something invisible. It makes no sense, it’s not rational, it’s very far from common beasts…

but its king anyway.

After fighting Ebon, Kanisen died with his chest pierced. Alpha died of blood loss with her arm cut off. The two are allies in their own way and have awakened the Undead, but the Undead of this land without the energy of the earth is a junk without power. Ebon’s Chloe was no match.

The colonel squeezed Aji with a butterfly. Aji, who could not attack humans, was unable to use his front or hind legs and was beaten until he collapsed, bleeding.

Although the intended purpose was achieved, Ebon trembled with anxiety running down his spine.

Carnissen and Alpha seemed to be killing time for anyone to see. If so, that means the rest of us are obviously doing something that needs time. Ebon expected it without difficulty.

“Are you sure you want to wake up the ancestors…”

The blood that flowed from the corpses of Kanisen and Alpha crawled across the floor and headed somewhere. Ebon murmured as he followed the bloodstains to the underground armory.

Ebon’s lieutenant and confidant, Colonel Grund McKinsey, heard the murmur and answered.

“What are you worried about? I heard that the ancestors do not intervene in disputes between humans.”

“It’s not that the principle is absolute, so it won’t intervene. I didn’t want to interfere, so I created such a principle. What would the progenitor who insults even the gods be afraid of? I don’t think the progenitor himself would break the rules for anything, but I don’t know what the hell those who have the crazy idea of waking the progenitor will do.”

“This is the progenitor who did not react even when the military government buried him in the abyss. How can they wake the progenitor?”

As if to answer that question, a voice came from beyond the steel door.

“How about the flesh of the Undead?”

Ebon turned to the direction of the sound. I saw a large steel door painted with blood. A reddish energy permeated through the door, as if filling in the gap, but then the energy suddenly dissipated and the door opened.

Inside, a man holding something black staggered out.

Ebon recognized the man’s identity. A prisoner rushed in after Colonel Lancart’s escape. For Ji-seon’s plan, someone had to set foot in Tantalus and live, so among the recently caught and awaiting trial, the prisoners with a light crime were put in. This was possible thanks to Colonel Lancart taking all the dangerous prisoners out.

I’ve heard that he’s a petty criminal with a light crime.

But what?

‘what? What is this sense of incongruity?’

Ebon observed him and recognized the object in his hand.

‘The arm of the undead…?’

The man with blood on his face waved an arm that wasn’t mine at Ebon. The reason was unknown, but for some reason the sight gave Ebon goosebumps.

“Hello, Avon Crimson Wild. fat cat nice to meet you.”

[Hee hee hee!]

It was then. The sound of horses hooves approached through the open door. Before long, a huge bloody horse sprang out through the aisle. Ebon tensed up.

‘Blood Demon Ralion…! Sijo’s family! Did you really wake up Shijo? however…?’

The bloody horse shows off its whites… Ebon glares at the man without paying attention. The horse is a relatively benign creature, but its face shows tremendous anger and intent to kill. Surely, even if Ralion touched it, that young man would be crushed.

Right before the rampaging Ralion crashes into the man.

Then the man stretched out his left hand. The cloth was spread wide beside him. As the fabric fluttered in front of his eyes, Ralion’s gaze briefly moved there.

At the same time, the man rubbed the ground with the arm of the undead he was holding in his right hand. Black flesh crumbles and scatters on the ground, and Ralion’s hooves that fall on it melt and slide.

Sophisticated movements like those of a bullfighter. Ralion narrowly escaped the young man and fell out into the distance. That, of course, is where the butterflies are.

The butterfly hopped and hissed.

“Nyaaaaaaagh! What a strange word! The smell of blood! Are you feeling bad!”

[Pu-hee-hee-hee!]

The man walked slowly against the background of the two beasts who suddenly started fighting. It’s a bewildering sight. Anyway, Ebon regained his composure.

‘Blood horse Ralion is a descendant of the progenitor. Seeing that he was attacked, it doesn’t seem like he made Shijo an ally. It is clear that the persuasion failed. Then there is nothing to be afraid of.’

“Looks like your last gamble failed. May you rest in peace…”

“You are also chasing the invisible? ha ha ha. cool. How many times do they find the meaning of their existence, even risking their lives when their backs are warm and their stomachs are full?”

Ebon’s composure soon faded. Ebon hardened his face and asked again.

“…what do you mean?”

“Maybe not at first. You only had the instinct to survive and hostility toward the enemy. You, who fiercely defeated the kingdom with those two, became a general and a warm and full cat.”
