Episode 281 Vampires Say No to Blood or Tears (6)

The day passed and the surgery day approached.

The three of them were gathered in the bedroom, including Tiffria and Ray Vermat.

Even Tifria, who normally maintains a calm expression, is clearly nervous today.

Tiffria let out a small breath as Rey, who was wearing a clean white coat inside her backpack, signaled that she was ready.

“Thank you for today.”

“...”

Ray nodded without answering.

Vermata, who was sitting on one side and staring at him, was worried, but he pretended not to know.

If you are a novice doctor, there might be cases where you get stressed out and make mistakes, but there was no problem with him who was called trustworthy.

It’s just that I’m worried because I can’t predict what his intentions will be.

‘No matter how much it is, it wouldn’t be openly intruding during surgery, right?’

Calculate Vermat’s radius of action and turn away from him so that you can use your hands at any time.

Ray sighed briefly.

“Then let’s begin.”

“...yes.”

“Take a deep breath.”

As the mana along with the horse slowly took away Tiffria’s consciousness, Vermat watched silently.

No matter how much weaker she is, Tifria is a pureblood who belongs to the upper ranks among vampires.

Seeing her put her to sleep so easily, it seems that she has some hidden talent.

The operation began only after Typhria was completely put to rest.

* * *

Rey ripped off her clothes, holding a thin, sharp blade in her hand.

After completely undressing, her upper body is revealed.

Ray carefully examined the situation.

‘As expected, there is nothing to see on the exterior. After all, I have no choice but to split up.’

With a hemisphere-shaped blade made at the forge, a vertical incision is made on the sternum in the center of the chest.

The fragile flesh cracked open and blood leaked out.

A fixture was twisted to hold her chest completely open, revealing her organs.

Just in case, I checked Vermart’s expression, and his face was a little darker than before.

Ray proceeded with the surgery, worried that he might have hit the back of the head.

Remove the ribs and expose the heart.

Then problems began to emerge one after another.

Ray frowned.

‘It’s too much to do.’

Human blood can be said to be a lubricant for vampires.

It is unavoidable that Tifria’s blood vessels, which do not consume human blood, rust, just as a bicycle chain slowly rusts when left unattended.

As such, Tifria’s heart is in a serious condition.

The coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart have become stenosis, as well as obstruction in some part.

This makes it impossible to properly supply blood to the heart.

He seemed to be holding on somehow with his unique healing power, but even coming this far was a miracle.

Ray lifted his heart a little to see the condition.

Fortunately, the internal thoracic artery is useful.

Since there is no cardiopulmonary bypass, it seems better to do coronary artery bypass graft by minimizing the movement of the heart without using it.

If the internal thoracic artery is drawn and connected to the coronary artery, blood supply will be easier.

However, this operation is quite difficult.

Since there is no heart anchor, it is necessary not only to fix the heart with one hand, but also to connect arteries to arteries with the other hand.

It was an outline of surgery that would make even the one who was called the hand of God lose confidence.

‘Let’s do it slowly... Slowly... don’t be impatient.’

Ray, who was repeating to himself, carefully held his heart.

If you make a wrong move, Tiffria will die as it is.

Using his senses and exquisitely fixing his heart, Ray lifted the scissor-shaped tongs.

With it, pinch one side of the internal thoracic artery.

When he picked up another pair of forceps and picked out the internal thoracic artery, there was only an empty artery in the middle.

It’s to the point where I doubt whether he really harbors ill feelings toward his younger sister.

After looking at Vermart for a while, Ray briefed on the situation so far.

“...The chest is still closed, but the operation went well. The coronary artery and the internal thoracic artery are connected to make the blood supply more smooth than before, and the bleeding blood vessel is also blocked with absorbent thread, so if you have good healing powers, you should be able to live your daily life within two weeks.”

At his words, Vermat was relieved.

“...you suffered.”

Even at those words of congratulations for the hard work, Ray only shook his head.

“The story isn’t over yet. See these black veins here?”

He pointed to one of the veins and Vermatt looked at it.

It is quite black compared to the others.

“This means that the blood vessels are not functioning properly. If you climb up on this...”

As he spoke, he sneakily showed Tiffria’s heart.

Contrary to the front, which looked fine, the back was slightly dark red.

“This......?”

“...To put it simply, the heart is rotting. This is the first time this has happened to me.”

As I closed my eyes and said it as if I had given up, Vermatt became desperate.

“...then what should Tiffria do now?”

Ray, who was trying to save his words, muttered while looking at Vermart.

“...this can’t be fixed. No, to be precise, I should say let’s fix it. Even if the blood vessels are treated, the heart is rotten, so you won’t be able to live any longer. If you have something to say, you better do it when you wake up.”

At the one-sided notice, he clenched his fists.

It is a death sentence that does not sound like words received suddenly.

But judging by the look in his eyes, it didn’t look like he was lying.

Of course, Ray didn’t just say this casually.

The doctor always speaks with determination when pronouncing death.

It was like that even now.

In this world, it was the first time he had been pronounced dead after deciding to heal himself.

There was no way he would have confessed it with a light heart.

Vermatt gritted his teeth.

Her eyes, which were usually so firm, wavered incessantly.

It’s like a child who has been deprived of what he wants.

At first glance, in a tearful voice, he spat out one more word as if vomiting blood.

“Is there anything you can do? There must be some way. Think carefully.”

I can understand the desire to grab at the straw, but I can’t tell lies.

Ray shook his head again.

“Unfortunately, there is no way out of this situation.... This is my guess, but Tiffria will die in the third week. Do something you haven’t done before. That’s the best you can do.”

“...”

Vermatt, who had heard the story, left the bedroom without a word.

I didn’t want to be in a place like this anymore.

How much effort have you put in so far?

What have you been working hard for?

As he tried to return to his troubles in vain, his mind went a little sour.

In the end, he escaped from the reality presented in front of him.

* * *

“There it is.”

The factions of Pureblood and Vermata, who had maintained their neutrality until now, moved.

I pointed my sword at the mansion in front of me.

“Now! Punish the shameful fellow countrymen who committed the unforgivable sin of loving humans and win glory!”

With the words of the elders, numerous vampire soldiers raised their mana.

“Kill! The shame of a vampire!”

“Kill the witch who violated the tribal law!”

Each one is a soldier who can handle mana.

With that alone, it boasts a power that is different from that of human soldiers.

With more than a thousand such soldiers gathered, the old mansion would be destroyed in an instant.

Participating in an easy war in which this kind of victory is confirmed, all you have to do is wait for the Kongo to fall.

What a sweet temptation

Satisfied smiles appeared on the elders’ faces.
