Chapter 577 There Might Be a Way
– Kwachang!
A woman on the roof of a high-end bar located on the 92nd floor of Bant Castle’s outer castle threw a wine bottle she was holding.
Vampires lined up on the wall shook their necks at the thick bloody flesh that spewed out at the same time.
Stress must have raised her appetite. Shinepa, who had sucked all the blood from one of the vampires working at the store, rubbed her forehead.
“How many business locations did you say were affected?”
“Six locations by this morning.”
A man in a neat suit came out.
Harold is one of the few beings who can remain calm even in a bloody atmosphere.
He was Shinepa’s confidante and the one who received her blood the most. At the same time, he was also a descendant of a powerful vampire that no longer existed.
She was also a difficult existence to do, so Shinepa’s angry voice softened even more.
“He is a wicked man. They’re making a fuss about naming Caliber.”
“Is it possible that the real Caliber moved?”
“Not at all. Because he has periodic seizures. I have done something similar in the past.”
Even though they are the same vampires, it was Herald who had been in the tower longer than Shinepa, so Shinepa couldn’t help but worry.
It is clearly a different force operating under the name of Caliber. However, there is a possibility that the rumors are true.
Either way, it’s a difficult situation. No matter what the process was, they were the ones who suffered the damage.
Especially since her faction was in a bad situation.
“They said Zahal was moving.”
“The frequency of appearances near our sector has increased. There has been no direct friction so far, but it is judged to be a matter of time.”
As several places of business are robbed, the stable balance of power is tilting.
While Shinepa was running an entertainment district and gambling hall, Jahal was running a gang including a manpower station. As the atmosphere in Bant Castle became threatening, guards and special leases roamed around, aiming for Shinefa’s territory.
It is also true that Shinepa’s position was lowered because both places were supplying blood to the high-ranking officials of the Bant Castle who were made into vampires.
It was worth holding on for now, but it was clear that if other stores collapsed, those who were customers would stick to Jahal.
“And this is still top secret, but this morning Caliber struck again. The body was collected separately by the collection team, but it is unknown whether it will be possible next time.”
– Quaang!
Shinepa hit the table at his words, revealing her fangs.
“Even if you’re crazy about blood, you should be moderately crazy! Do whatever you want!”
Not only for Shinefah, but also for Jahal, the person named Caliber, to be exact, his older brother was the biggest customer, but if he behaves like this, the words change.
He had been in the tower for a long time and had periodic seizures, but he had never been in such a bad mood.
At the atrocities of the person who deserved the most care, Shinepa’s murderous intent boiled over.
“Find him. And deal with it. I don’t see any more rampage.”
“It can be difficult to catch up.”
“Even if we go on like this, there will be no recovery. Even if you sleep, you will be in the same situation as time goes by. Ask him too.”
“I will try to deliver.”
Even as he answered, the Herald assumed that Zahal would ignore the request.
He was a greedy man, and he must have known very well that if he persevered in the same way, Shinepa would collapse first.
‘It would be different if their workplace wasn’t safe, though.’
The smell of blood began to waft from the back alleys of Bant Castle.

Leisurely basking in the sun also helps to change your mood. It could be said that it is a leisure in the midst of fierceness.
“Sorry. It’s hard to do anything during the day.”
“Isn’t this more than enough?”
Miya put on a tired expression as she watched me perched on the window of the inn.
After a few days of hard work, I was able to blow up quite a few workshops.
Of course, there was an uproar in Bant Castle, but there was no damage to the citizens. To be precise, there was no damage to the general public. Because he was a vampire.
Of course, in the process, there were victims among the monster hunters belonging to the Vega party, but not many.
Of course, this was a story that only those in the know knew.
Most of Bant’s Castle uses gas lamps as lighting, but this place is studded with glowstone.
It doesn’t matter if it’s dark for me, but Miya didn’t have night vision, so I was able to get in comfortably thanks to her.
‘What is this? It feels like a research lab.’
Walls with no decorations and doors with windows the size of a palm are connected one after another.
Glancing at Miya, the strange expression on her face made it seem like Miya didn’t come here when she was invited.
– Aaaaaaaaagh!
A scream heard in an instant.
When I went to the place where I heard the sound, frowning, Eder grabbed my shoulder, but I ignored it and went in there.
The door didn’t open right away because it was locked.
-Quad deuk!
When the door won’t open, most of the time it’s because of lack of power. I threw the dangling doorknob on the floor and looked inside.
There are 4 people who seem to be researchers. There is one man who is fixed where he can see the operating table.
“Who is who!”
“What are the guards doing!”
“You can’t come in on your own. Do not give unnecessary stimulation to adapters!”
At the sudden intrusion, two researchers approach to stop me.
Are they conducting illegal experiments or using people who have been forcibly kidnapped as lab rats? There are many crazy people in groups that are closed in this way, so that’s what comes to mind first.
If what I thought is correct, it means that this is not a place to hold hands.
“When you are undergoing a transplant, you need to be as stress-free as possible.”
“transplantation?”
Ether blocked my way.
It’s a transplant. Ah.
“That was it.”
I checked the left shoulder of the screaming man.
A magical engineering device that monster hunters call a gear is connected.
The energy of the mana stone going inside and the veins rising up in a bluish color, as if they were rejecting it.
It was noticeable that the whole body twisted because of the pain, but it didn’t look like something forced. It was restrained for the safety of the researchers implanting the gears.
As evidence, there were no signs of torture or abuse anywhere on the man whose limbs were bound.
“A person who lost one arm after being attacked by a vampire. Normally, I’d retire, but it’s a different story when gear is installed. Of course, it puts a lot of strain on the body.”
“Is this what Bourne wanted?”
“Gear is transplanted only when a person who has lost a part of their body wants it. There are not many gears whose safety has been proven.”
if so what I have nothing more to say.
In the end, I chose to become stronger. A monster hunter who couldn’t use skills had to carry that much risk in order to exert non-standard power.
In a way, it seemed to make someone who had to retire somehow fight again, but in other words, it also meant that if you didn’t do this, you couldn’t balance with the vampires.
They regenerate even if their limbs are cut off, but humans are not.
“Is that person also a first-class person?”
“Perhaps that will happen when the gears are implanted. Because he was a good person.”
He rubbed his chin slightly.
“Is there a low probability of safely fitting the gear?”
“We normally look at 64 percent. Even this is a figure that has increased as data accumulates.”
“The cause seems to be that mana went right into the body just by looking at the cancer.”
“It is controlled through a device, but it is true that it is burdensome to inject in this way.”
I know roughly.
When the world went crazy and mana stones were discovered, there was an experiment to artificially create a hunter.
Judging from the fact that no hunters have been experimented on so far, it must mean that all of them have failed.
The important thing is to safely receive the mana from the mana stone into the body.
“Wait a minute, let me see.”
maybe there is a way
