Chapter 431: Giving Everything Away

The Blood Swamp, the stage of the 2nd trial inside the monitor, was simply in a state of high spirits.

"Master! We found another Ancient-rank magic stone here!"

"Stack it over there on the side."

The Despair-rank mid-boss, the True Blood Count Camillos, and the final boss, the Blood Duke Raiel, were scraping the bottom of the swamp as if wearing aprons to offer magic stones.

Was that all.

In a corner of the swamp, a heartwarming martial arts exchange between humans and vampires was taking place.

"Haat!"

"Oh my, brother. That thrust just now had very good form! However, your lower body was slightly open. Like this!"

"Ohh! As expected of the advice from a vampire younger brother who has lived for thousands of years! I will carve it into my bones!"

The participants were amicably sparring with vampires overflowing with regenerative power, safely conducting actual combat practice without the threat to their lives. As the monsters that had rushed in to kill them became 1-on-1 spot-on tutoring instructors, the combat power and experience of the challengers were literally soaring vertically.

"Th…… Those lunatics!"

The Archangel slammed the red button on the system console with trembling hands.

"It's an error! This is a clear system error! Forcefully terminate the 2nd testing ground immediately and delete all those surplus monsters! Erase them without leaving a single one behind!"

Simultaneously with that declaration, the sky of the swamp, which had been dyed blood-red, transformed into a pure white light in an instant.

What poured down from between the clouds was a punishment intending to forcibly retrieve and annihilate the system's assets.

"……Uh?"

The heads of Duke Raiel and Count Camillos, who had been wiping their sweat while helping with the sparring, simultaneously turned toward the sky.

Their pale complexions turned even whiter under the light of annihilation.

"Th-this is…… Isn't this the system's forced initialization protocol!"

"My Queen! Please save us! Those damn system bastards are trying to blow away the testing ground entirely! I don't want to return to nothingness like this!"

As Camillos prostrated on the bloody floor and screamed, Duke Raiel next to him went as far as reaching out his hand toward the hem of Olivia's monppe pants and sobbed.

"M-My Queen! We met again like a miracle after a thousand years, but we cannot vainly disappear like this! My thousand years of passionate pure love, spent alone in an empty room, hasn't even started…… Keok!"

"Ah, come on. Your spit is flying."

Olivia smacked Raiel's face with her market basket as if she found him gross.

Raiel, who reached out a sorrowful hand toward Olivia even while rolling on the floor, and the True Blood legion wailing to be saved.

"Hey pointy fangs, by the looks of it, your prime contractor is going out of business and cutting off its tail. Do you want to be quietly deleted like this, or officially transfer jobs under me?"

"T-transfer jobs? We will absolutely do it! Just let us do it!"

"If it's under the Queen's master, we will bury our bones!"

Raiel and Camillos planted their heads without a single second of hesitation.

"Good. Then die cleanly before you get deleted."

There seemed to be no way to escape alive.

But what if they died?

He could make them escape as much as he wanted by smuggling their corpses into his inventory or something.

Even inside gates, hadn't they brought out the corpses of monsters perfectly fine.

As soon as Kim Minwoo obtained the vampires' consent, he shouted toward the 10,000 surviving challengers.

"Hey, guys! There's no time! Slaughter all the vampires over there!"

"……Pardon?"

At the sudden slaughter command, the survivors holding weapons flinched in bewilderment.

"C-can we really slaughter them? But we built up a friendship until just a moment ago……."

"That's right! That younger brother even fixed the weaknesses in my swordsmanship, so how can I cut his neck with my own hands……!"

They were enemies killing each other just a few hours ago, but the emotion from the spot-on tutoring and free blood donations seemed to have been quite significant.

A miracle of humanity unfolded where the challengers teared up and shielded the vampires.

Kim Minwoo shouted as if he was dumbfounded.

"What freezing friendship with scraps of data! They're guys who will disappear without a trace in a moment anyway! Do you know how many points and experience drop when you kill them! Aren't you going to kill them quickly?!"

"P-points……!"

"Experience……!"

At that capitalistic shout, the eyes of the challengers who had been shedding tears of emotion suddenly changed.

"Brother! Thank you for everything! I won't forget this favor!"

"Younger brother, please spar with me again when we meet in the next life! Hat cha!"

"Keuaaaak!"

"That wasn't a bad thrust, brother……!"

A bizarre slaughter play began where the fanatics shed tears but their hands did not rest, driving stakes into the hearts of the vampires. 50,000 Despair-rank monsters offering their necks without resistance.

It was literally no different from an experience and point duplication bug.

"P-please kill us quickly too! The light is coming down!"

Duke Raiel and Count Camillos urgently shouted.

However, fitting for Despair-rank boss monsters, their health pools and defense were so ignorantly high that even though they stood still and took the hits, they couldn't be killed in time by the challengers' attacks.

Kim Minwoo summoned all the Legion Commanders.

As soon as the command fell, Cedric's spear sliced Raiel's neck, Vulcan's magic power pierced Camillos's heart, and Kim Minwoo's Hell Rhapsody drove the wedge.

[You have defeated the rulers of the Despair-rank trial, the Blood Duke and the True Blood Count!]

[A massive amount of experience is acquired!]

[An enormous amount of trial points is acquired!]

System alarms poured down wildly enough to obscure his vision.

But there was no time to rejoice.

The light of annihilation was approaching right before their noses.

'My inventory is full!'

Kim Minwoo urgently opened his inventory, but because he had packed it full with the corpses of the freeloaders and the fallen earlier, there was no space to put the vampire corpses.

Even the subspace rings he had prepared as spares were on the verge of bursting with items and magic stones.

"Can't be helped. Moving to Plan B."

Kim Minwoo flicked his finger.

[The skill Land of Death (SSS) is deployed to its maximum!]

The moment the magic circle of the dead covered the swamp, the 50,000 vampires and boss mobs that had just taken their last breath stood up as lower undead.

Reviving them in their intact forms from life through Return of the Dead took too much materials and time.

But raising them as tin-can undead with cheap maintenance costs, keeping them stored, and slowly performing Return of the Dead later in a safe place was all he had to do.

"Go in, all of you!"

Kim Minwoo activated the Belt of the Death Lord strapped to his waist and threw open the door to subspace.

Excluding the Legion Commander Olivia, the 50,000 vampire legion that had just risen as undead was sucked into the subspace of the belt with thrilling pleasure, as if sucked into a massive vacuum cleaner.

Wiiiing―!

Shuk!

The moment the ankle of the last one, Duke Raiel, slipped inside the belt.

Hwaaaaat―!

The light of annihilation, the system's forced initialization protocol, struck the Blood Swamp.

However, not a single system asset left to delete remained in the swamp.

"Th…… The boss mobs…… Where on earth did 50,000 system assets all get sucked into?!"

The Archangel in the control room was on the verge of fainting looking at the empty monitor.

He pressed the button to delete the monsters, but not only did the challengers suck up the last-minute experience and points, even their corpses were cleanly packaged into Kim Minwoo's belt and disappeared.

At that time, breaking the silence, the system's golden alarm rang out loudly.

[You have defeated the rulers of the Despair-rank trial, the Blood Duke and the True Blood Count!]

[An abnormal clear method. Recalculating rewards…….]

Kim Minwoo patted his belt and smiled satisfyingly.

It was the moment a perfect embezzlement, no, a legal merger and acquisition succeeded.

The list of rewards pouring down before Kim Minwoo's eyes was truly unprecedented.

But what was even more surprising was the gaze of the 10,000 survivors who witnessed this sight by his side.

Not stopping at assembling torn flesh to revive them, Kim Minwoo's majesty of now reverse-engineering even the system's punishment to kidnap the boss mobs whole.

Until just a moment ago, the challengers could only stand blankly under the light of annihilation.

If Kim Minwoo hadn't been there?

The vast majority would have long been ground up by the vampires' attack without even leaving a corpse behind.

The same conclusion was embedded in the minds of the survivors.

'If it wasn't for the Master, we would have all died.'

They say even a mere beast knows gratitude.

Let alone them, who were intelligent beings.

The 10,000 fanatics, including Nasar, planted their heads toward Kim Minwoo as if the ground would sink.

A moment later, the golden teleportation circle carrying the survivors who had finished the 2nd trial shone brilliantly.

Soon after.

[Arriving at the rest stop!]

[This is the gathering place for the personnel who have survived up to the 2nd trial.]

[Combat activities are strictly forbidden.]

[Please take a short rest.]

There were already other challengers there who had passed the Normal difficulty in their respective districts and were leisurely drinking tea and resting.

They were just wondering what had happened to the personnel who entered the swamp that had been upgraded to Despair rank.

Honestly, they thought only corpses would be brought in.

Because there was a statistic that the Despair rank had a survival rate of 0.3%.

However.

"Uh…… What is that? Why is it like that over there?"

Kwang!

The main gate of the rest stop opened, and a legion reaching 10,000 people entered as if marching.

And covered in bloody water from head to toe, the fanatics with crazed eyes escorted Kim Minwoo as if carrying him in a palanquin.

"……Uh, eoeo?"

The hands of the challengers who were drinking tea stiffened simultaneously.

10,000 people?

That many numbers survived and returned from the Despair rank?

Common sense crumbled.

"Brother, do you know the God of Death?"

The beastkin warrior Nasar opened his eyes wide and approached a mage who was drinking tea at the rest stop.

The mage dropped his teacup and backed away, but Nasar grabbed his shoulder tightly and gave a madness-filled smile.

"If you believe, you will be resurrected. A guy who just turned to dust came back perfectly alive. Will you also join this glory?"

"P-pardon?"

Due to the aggressive sales pitch of the fanatics that rivaled heretic inquisitors, the rest stop was instantly dyed with astonishment and chaos.

Right in the middle of it, Kim Minwoo was satisfyingly wiping Hell Rhapsody while watching the proselytizing activities.

'It's finally becoming an auto-hunt.'

The rest stop.

The place where all the survivors beyond District 1 from other districts gathered.

The time for true proselytizing had just begun.
