Episode 105. Difel (7)

bang-!

At the werewolf’s charge, an old tree that had withstood the storm broke like a flower, buried its leaves in the mud, and splattered sharp fragments all over the place.

Two platoon members died on the spot because they failed to follow Lewen’s instructions to protect themselves.

The blood flowing from the body with bone fragments protruding was washed away by the rain, and the darkness, indistinguishable from brain water and puddles, covered their end.

A night when everything under the sky is mercilessly wet.

In the ears of the fallen vampires, hot breath like steam was heard.

“Whoa… .”

“Kuh… .”

dododog.

“… !”

Lewen, who instinctively tried to choose defense instead of evasion, widened his eyes at the sound of chewing candy that came out of nowhere.

Fortunately, she didn’t let go of her sword even after sliding several meters on the mud, and she immediately stood up and prepared for the attack.

“Krrr… .”

As she raised her head as if looking up at the stars to make eye contact with her enemy, the beast that had chewed up and swallowed the human head that Rane had tossed with one mouth revealed its teeth to her.

Standing in front of an opponent whose body was so huge that he couldn’t even see it at a glance, Lewen fell into the illusion that he was facing a building rather than a living creature.

‘This is Dipeln… .’

Trees along the path of his leap fell like collapsed dominoes, but there were no scratches on his mighty body.

The fur that covered Diepeln’s body was tough like weeds, and it didn’t get wet in the rain.

His breath was burning hot, and his eyes were red with excitement.

“You don’t look like a horse, you rats.”

The remaining members of the platoon are four, including Lewen.

In an instant, the number of Wardens was less than that of the Dipellins.

However, now, thinking of the subordinates who left for Esca’s arms first, there was no time to be sad.

“You look so vulgar like an orphan abandoned by a guardian spirit.”

When Lewen made a sarcastic remark, Fang narrowed his eyes and let out a sneer.

“The guardian spirit didn’t abandon us, we abandoned the guardian spirit.”

“By the way, seeing how much dog hair is flying, doesn’t it seem like your new owner doesn’t brush it?”

“Quack, talk as you like. At least I chose the person to serve with my will.”

Brainwashing wrapped in customs and culture blocks freedom and forces sacrifice.

The absolute authority of the gods has fallen, and all the values that the different races believed in are being overturned.

“What has God done for you? Is Esca really wise to hold the living family accountable for the mistakes of their ancestors hundreds of years ago?”

“… .”

“Isn’t it pitiful for the clan who are called out like criminals and die fighting against the beasts even though they haven’t done anything wrong?”

Vampire society will soon collapse completely, and so will other heterogeneous races.

but… . The collapse of a faulty system is not synonymous with the extinction of a heterogeneous race.

“Soon, everyone will be living, competing, and progressing solely on their own will… . The Wild Age opens. Why could weak humans rule the continent? For while they developed, the heterogeneous races were stuck in the past.”

“… .”

“Hunters. I will give you, who are about to die, a chance to be granted a new life.”

Disconnected from the guardian spirit, the heterogeneous people suffer from extreme anxiety and lethargy.

In that state, those who couldn’t find something to rely on within a day, reason completely collapsed and left everything to nature.

“That’s Difel. I, too, after being freed by Kegar-sama’s hand, couldn’t find a reason to live and slowly went mad.”

Of course, not all Dippels transform like beasts.

Before I lose my temper, the moment I meet another Dipeln and find my goal in life… .

“Like me, you can live with a new identity. my life is mine However, I cannot admit that a lump of mana that I cannot see in my entire life is the reason for my life.”

If Kegar’s research succeeds and the guardian deity and the world are separated, there will be countless individuals among the clan who wander aimlessly in the world as Diffels.

It may feel regrettable, but the clans that do not have reason in the end are those who will be weeded out in the competition anyway.

Blood flows in order to overthrow the wrong system and prepare for a better future.

“Depellens like us… . If you enlighten the Dipels and lead them to live a life that is not dominated by their nature, the damage will be reduced to that extent.”

“… .”

“Does this sound like a distant story? Now that only sacrifices are forced under the guardian spirit, the number of people who feel that life is wrong is bound to increase, and it is inevitable that Diffels will eventually appear. However, it’s just that I can’t find the way to go now because I’ve been brainwashed for hundreds of years. Follow us, that is truly what is best for the clan.”

There are currently only five Dipellins to reign in a godless world, and after many years of disconnection with the Guardian God, the clan irreversibly goes mad.

One comrade now will be able to lead hundreds of clans on the right path.

“Hundreds of years of brainwashing are devastating, and they are having a huge impact on the inside, whether you know it or not. Right now, I can’t be sure that you can become a Dipelin unless you have a strong mind. Most of the Dippels raised by my father went crazy even when we reached out to them… . You guys see the prospect.”

Will you sacrifice, doubt, and go crazy as a slave?

Will you accept change quickly and live the life of a prophet leading fools?

“Now, what are you going to do?”

* * *

“… You have a long tongue, monster.”

Rewen gave a cold smile to Fang, who offered him a sweet proposal.

“Do you know why we punish the vampires who abandoned Esca?”

“… ?”

“That’s because those vampires can’t overcome their own desires, attack humans, and forcibly vampirize them. Didn’t you say you were training dippels? At that time, did you guys ask the clan’s doctor and conduct the experiment?”

“If you say that to a brainwashed clan, they won’t listen-”

“I thought so.”

The freedom that the Dipelins speak of is not freedom for everyone. It is just an excuse to erupt the desire of the strong.

Dipel’s existence also meant the imperfection of Esca and the clan.

And… . As imperfect, the clan needs Esca and discipline.

Still carrying the responsibility for the mistakes of the ancestors hundreds of years ago?

Growing up with faith in Esca, relying too much on guardian spirits?

Of course, there will be many things that need to be improved in the future, and it didn’t look perfect even to the supervisor himself.

“By the way… . Did you think we would pass all the blame on to the Guardian God and wrap our evil deeds in the name of freedom?”

With strength in the hand holding the silver-refined longsword, Rewen stood proudly in front of the roaring beast.

“The reason we serve Esca is to respond to the mercy of those who took pity on the blind monsters and saved them.”

The platoon members, who watched her back, gathered their minds again and aimed their weapons at the fallen one.

“To respond to the gentleness of the night, which taught sinners who knew nothing but killing, moderation and discipline, and how to live together with other races.”

“… .”

“Our faith is not a dependence that began with brainwashing, but a salvation that came after asking for help.”

There is no reason to abandon the faith and discipline that you have found because you need it.

Cheak-

Lewen slid beside him and slashed a straight line through Fang’s thigh.

Her sword, blessed by Esca, swallowed his blood while burning his skin, which had been intact even after destroying dozens of trees.

“Ahhhhh… !”

Tattang-

After that, when the platoon members’ covering fire was applied, the furious top hit the floor.

bang-!

It was so powerful that the ground trembled and puddles of water that had been stagnant all around soared into the sky, but it did not harm the wardens who moved in perfect order.

Rewen aimed his sword at the beast that was licking its blood.

“God’s teachings are not wrong, but you are just an unbeliever trying to do what you want to do like a beast.”

“Yes, this must have been the reason my father forcibly brought the clan… . You just live as slaves and die!”

‘professor. I’ll go help the crew too.’

‘It’s too dangerous to leave the main unit alone. First-‘

‘If the fog completely covers the forest, I won’t be able to locate my enemies anyway. It’s not helping anything here, I’ll find something that I can help with even if it’s dangerous!’

It wasn’t long before I heard a brief roar like a bomb exploding in my receiver, and lost contact with my platoon.

Despite Ian’s dissuading, Jiner broke away from the main unit and crossed the forest that was getting whiter and blurry.

Rane’s fog was neither blown away by the wind nor washed away by the rain.

With the smell of sticky blood, the smoke gradually spread thicker and wider, covering the eyes of the vampires in white.

“Damn, I can’t see well because of the fog… !”

Zinner, who hated being the only warden who survived this battle more than dying, prayed for the safety of the platoon members with a longing heart.

Feeling ashamed at the thought that he was put in the safest place just because he was the youngest, he ran in the dark through the stinging rain.

bang-

“… !”

Across the white smoke, the roar heard in the receiver was heard again.

Jiner, who hastily stopped, tried to speed up towards the source of the sound.

“Caught.”

In an instant, the pure white eyes turned red.

Zinner plummeted from the sky like a hunted bird, groaning and struggling to pull out the red harpoon stuck in her abdomen.

“It’s no use. It will hurt more.”

Ginner, who was rolling on the floor with a moan, looked at the shadow of the slowly approaching girl, balancing on her arms.

“You, you… ?”

“Hmm? It’s been a long time since this delicious blood… . you! You must have a good blood donor?”

“What… ?”

Only then did Jinner look down at her stomach.

The jacket that should have been soaked with the spilled blood was soaked only with rainwater, and the harpoon was silently growing in thickness.

Staggering intoxicated with the blood flowing from his body, Rahne pityed him.

“You are on your way to rescue your friends. Then I shouldn’t have died here… . what to do You will be completely withered in less than a minute.”

“Damn it… !”

“Should I give you a chance?”

The more he inhaled Rane’s mist, the more Jiner’s mind became hazy.

In front of his speechless eyes, the girl slowly appeared.

In the rain that seemed to wash away the entire forest, Rane handed Jiner something she was holding in her mouth.

“Here, eat this. There are still some left.”

“What… ?”

Jinner, who was staring blankly at the man’s swaying left arm, yelled at her with hatred.

“Are you asking me to drink the blood of the dead?!”

“… It’s like this too. I can’t understand you guys.”

Rane’s eyes, which contained goodwill, cooled down.

“It’s not just your life, it’s a situation where the lives of your comrades are at stake. Is Esca precious enough to dedicate it all to?”

“I have no intention of keeping my life by violating the taboo.”

“Really, you are pretentious.”

Rane squatted down in front of Jiner, who was weak.

“All of them are of the same blood, but some work and some don’t. Making people risk their lives for such useless rules… .”

“Those who, like you, collapsed in desire and forsook God, recited such sophistry.”

“I never forsook God. You’ve been like this since you were born?”

“What… ?”

“Take the strength in your mouth. Before I break all my teeth.”

“Ugh… !”

Rane forced Jiner’s mouth open and murmured.

“You tortured and trampled me for over 200 years for that god. It must be because of faith and discipline, right?”

“Kuh… . ugh… !”

“Are they all the same blood? One drink and you’ll see that what you’re defending means nothing.”

That’s when the blood of the corpse was about to flow into Jiner’s mouth along with the rainwater.

“Hey, stop.”

A flash of light pierced the chilling mist.
