I Fell into the Game with Instant Kill-Novel

Chapter 41.2: Blood Magic (4)

As we entered the forest, buildings appeared one by one.

There were tents and wooden huts, and some large stone structures stood out. It’s like something you would see in the city.

Although they lived in the wild, the size of the tribe and the fact that they had been in this place for a long time, it was almost like a small city.

“What about the vampires I brought?”

When asked about the two sisters’ whereabouts, the chieftain answered.

“Our tribe does not exclude vampires from outside the forest. We will help them adjust to life here without any difficulties.”

On the road leading to the village, I saw the sisters with a vampire. It was the vampire who took them away.

When the sisters found me, they screamed in relief and ran to me.

“Ron!”

It was a strong reaction, as if we hadn’t seen each other for a while.

Rubica glanced at the chieftain once and said to me.

“We didn’t even say goodbye properly, so I thought we’d never see each other again… Did something happen? I think I heard a fight before…”

At those words, the chief warrior slowly turned his head and avoided her gaze.

As soon as you disappeared, I wanted to say that they started a surprise attack, but they gave up and I won in the end.

“It’s nothing.”

“Are you going to leave now?”

She took turns looking at me and Asher with a slightly sad look.

“I still have a problem to solve here, so I’ll just deal with it and leave. Don’t worry about me. Now you can live well with them.”

“···”

“I’m glad you found a new home.”

Rudica burst into tears, and Rubica soon nodded with tears in her eyes.

I didn’t know that even Rubica would react like this, so I was a little perplexed.

“Thank you very much, Ron. I will live with gratitude for the goodwill you have shown us for the rest of my life.”

I nodded my head without a word.

“Keep going.”

I urged the chieftain, who was watching the scene with strange eyes from the side, and started moving again.

As we moved to the depths of the village, the chieftain paused for a moment.

“Please wait here. We must inform the elders first.”

A few vampires scattered in different directions, probably to call those elders.

After waiting for a while, the old vampires gathered one by one.

“Chieftain.”

They gathered around the chieftain and talked for a while as they glanced over here.

As soon as they reached a conclusion, an old man with gray hair, who seemed to be the oldest of the elder vampires, approached me.

“I heard you are a close friend of one of our previous chieftains who can solve the problem of blood crystal. We could only believe what you have said because we have no choice.”

“Okay.”

He looked at me quietly and said.

“Can we watch the process of disposing of the blood crystal? Please, this is our only condition.”

It meant that they would at least watch if I was doing anything stupid.

I nodded my head, as it was otherwise irrelevant.

So, along with the chieftain, the warrior chief, and the elders, I went straight to the place where the blood crystal was.

It was a cave quite far from the village. Other vampires stood guard at the entrance.

After going inside and going down the sloped cave path, a large underground space appeared.

There was a huge rock in the center, and the red stone embedded on top of it was shining brightly and illuminating the surroundings with blood red light.

I gazed at the stone that was emitting an aura that was so ominous at first glance.

It was like the scenery I saw in the game that remained in my memory.

The chieftain said to me.

“That’s the blood crystal. We did a ritual a while ago, so its energy is weak now.”

“Right.”

“Do you want to start right now?”

I nodded and walked up the stairs to the rock.

The closer I got to the stone, the more the ominous energy stabbed me. I hadn’t even touched the stone yet.

【Lv. 95]

The level displayed just above the blood crystal was a very good sign of how strong the energy was.

But I wasn’t worried.

As in the game, what a mere ghost could inflict was not physical damage.

If it’s just a mental attack, I believe the [Soul of the King] would completely block it. So there was no hesitation in my steps.

Standing right in front of the blood crystal, I slowly reached out towards it.

And as soon as I touched the stone, I felt an overwhelming presence invade my mind.

‘···Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!’

A loud laughter echoed in my head.

The soul of Gascalid.

I quietly put my hands up and heard him chatter.

‘What. Are you human? Far from inheriting my blood, someone who is not a vampire dares to touch my spirit?’

The color of blood emanating from the stone grew stronger.

As his presence grew stronger, I could feel him emitting a flash to shake my mind.

How strong the mental wave was. The cave vibrated weakly, and even the vampires below staggered while holding their heads.

But it was as if I was alone in the middle of the eye of the typhoon.

With a very peaceful mind, I watched him riot. I was a little nervous at first though, but it’s really nothing.

Shortly thereafter, a voice of a bewildered man was heard.

‘What, what are you…? Why haven’t you lost your mind yet?!’

I also talked to him.

‘Hey, ghost.’

‘······Huh?’

‘Oh, can you hear me? Anyway, thank you, I will use your abilities well.’

It was a very sincere thank you.

Now, I immediately activated instant kill to make it easier.

‘Die.’

Its presence disappeared in an instant, and the vibration stopped.

As the energy that filled the cave disappeared as if it had evaporated, the vampires looked up at this side.

I ignored their gaze and stared down at the fading blood color on the stone.

Soon, even that faint blood color was all scattered and was absorbed into my body through the hand touching the stone.
