Dark Moon’s Treasures (1)

I opened my eyes around midnight.

I wondered if my days and nights had been reversed, but considering the time difference between France and Korea, that wasn’t the case.

I lazed around in bed for a while, then made a phone call home and took a shower.

I had a light meal of lobster with white wine.

Today is the day of the duel with the leader of Dark Moon.

The duel is scheduled to take place in about two hours, and if I win, Dark Moon will be entirely in my hands.

Once I have Dark Moon in my grasp, I will be able to fully utilize their human and material resources.

Anyone who can learn black magic is at least a gifted individual, and those who have reached the high circles are likely to have genius-level intellects. Above all, the advantage is that I can trust them to manage the business.

After finishing my meal, I took my place and drew a sign in the air.

At the 6th Circle, I can summon high-ranking vampires.

In other words, a noble with a bloodline among vampires is summoned. The ruler of vampires who once existed. If I reach the 7th Circle, I might even be able to summon a Vampire Lord, but that is still a distant prospect.

The 7th Circle is called the ultimate realm and is written in the Book of Annotations as the limit that humans can reach. Beyond that realm, one must pioneer on their own.

I am satisfied with the present, but I must aim to reach the 7th Circle, where I can command Death Knights and use dimensional teleportation magic.

Swish!

It was a somewhat complex sign, but there was no major problem.

Perhaps if I hadn’t practiced regularly, my mana circuits would have become tangled. Following Sujeong’s nagging, I always practice the signs of the next circle.

As the circles go up, the signs become more complex. If you make even a small mistake, you only waste a large amount of mana and the magic does not manifest properly.

A tremendous amount of magic power is draining away.

There is no way I would use this kind of magic to produce a large number of undead. If I summon vampires, the number of undead I can summon decreases.

Up to the level of a Mage, they are treated as simple undead, but when you summon advanced units such as Dullahan [headless horseman] or Vampires, the consumption of mana is extreme. As a trick, you can summon them in advance to use them. If you do so, the absolute number of undead remains unchanged. The problem is that vampires are vulnerable during the day. I’ll have to ask them when they are summoned.

The number of vampires I can summon right now is three.

Preferably female.

Black energy began to coalesce, and an eerie energy began to spread across the floor. Then, three beauties with pale faces knelt down.

“Lord, we have come at your call.”

“Glory to the Lord.”

“We greet the Lord.”

They were vampires who exuded dignity at first glance.

Vampires are not different from humans. The only characteristic is that their skin is too pale.

When they go into battle, they reveal their fangs and emit magical power. From the outside, they just look like young ladies from a noble family.

“Rise.”

“It is an honor to serve you.”

“You know what’s going on today, right?”

“I understand that there is a struggle for the throne.”

“The throne.”

Dignity drips from her words.

I guess that’s because I’m their master.

Even though I only summoned three vampire nobles, about half of my mana was drained.

I needed to replenish it for the battle.

“First, we go to the catacombs.”

“Yes!”

We jumped out the window.

Since the French authorities were bound to be watching me, I headed to the catacombs through the window.

Step by step.

We descend into the endless underground.

To replenish my depleted mana, a training room with a magic circle made of Legend-grade magic stones is perfect.

In that place, I will be able to replenish my depleted mana in an instant.

“I have a question.”

“Tell me your command, Lord.”

“Do you burn when exposed to sunlight?”

“Not necessarily. Ordinary vampires burn when exposed to sunlight, but we, who are close to purebloods, do not burn.”

“What about strength?”

“It weakens.”

“Oh. So you don’t burn, right?”

“Yes. If you are bitten by us and become a vampire, that individual has a structure that cannot help but burn.”

In short, it is the power of blood.

The vampires, who are expected to have considerable power, do not burn in the sun. They have excellent brains, of course, and seem to be able to be used in many ways.

I wonder if they will do well if I put them to work at the company?

“Good. When I return to Korea, I will put you in charge of company affairs.”

“It is an honor to participate in the Lord’s family business.”

“Oh, and when you go to Korea, it would be good to change your *mal-tu* [speech style/tone].”

“Yes, Lord.”

I also need to have fake IDs.

Ordinary undead can be explained as androids, but not vampires. No matter how you look at them, they didn’t look like androids.

The atmosphere of natural dignity would surely overwhelm the employees.

It was better to give them fake identities.

“And you’re French.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

Before I knew it, I had arrived at the training room.

There were guests in the training room.

Buzzing!

Some people were training here, and they made way for me when I appeared.

“Isn’t that the newcomer who is dueling the Master today?”

“I heard he’s arrogant.”

“Unless he’s stronger than the Master, we can’t let him get away with it.”

It seemed like they were determined to get even with me.

It doesn’t matter.

I will win today’s duel.

I sat down in the magic circle and meditated.

The vampires guarded me.

Swish!

I absorb mana and replenish the mana I just used up.

It seems that summoning more than three vampires a day would put a strain on the circle.

Even so, that’s 90 vampire nobles a month. If they have excellent work skills, wouldn’t the shortage of talent be solved to some extent?

2 a.m.

Several Dark Moon disciples surround me.

“Rise, Challenger.”

“Is it already time?”

“The Master is waiting.”

“Well, let’s go.”

I got up and walked deeper underground.

After passing through a complex maze, I arrived at a huge hall where the old man I saw yesterday and all the Dark Moon disciples were gathered.

Everyone I hadn’t seen yesterday was there.

If I win, the leader will be replaced immediately. It’s better to have them all gathered to receive their loyalty. If I show my skills, it will be easier to control them.

The old man walks forward.

Behind him, three vampires were summoned.

From the outside, it was impossible to tell whether they were nobles or ordinary vampires. But at least vampires can only be summoned if they are above the 5th Circle.

“The challenger is qualified enough. Vampires. Did you reach the 5th Circle at that age?”

“…….”

I didn’t say anything.

The battle was about to begin, so there was no need to open my mouth.

The old man grinned, revealing his teeth.

“I will kill you, trap your soul, and make you a slave.”

“You’ll regret those words.”

“I can understand that you are arrogant because you reached the 5th Circle at a young age. However, you have chosen the wrong place to be stubborn.”

“Is fighting with words a characteristic of this neighborhood?”

I grinned, revealing my teeth.

The old man’s eyes flashed.

I could tell at a glance that he was angry.

Whoosh!

He imbued black magic into both hands.

I can feel a pretty strong force. It’s not a typical 5th Circle… but it doesn’t seem like he’s reached the 6th Circle.

Then I have a chance of winning.

“Shall we begin?”

Flash!

Various buffs poured over the old man’s body.

His size doubled and his skin became as hard as steel. His movements were reminiscent of bullets, and he used magic and combat together.

He had huge claws on both hands.

At first glance, he looks like a monster.

Here, his vampires rushed at the vampire nobles I summoned.

Clang!

I also put buffs all over my body and took the blow.

The impact was such that the underground would have collapsed immediately if I hadn’t put up a barrier.

I can feel black magic that surpasses the 5th Circle.

‘What is it?’

My hands and feet are getting dizzy.

At the same time, black magic targeted my back.

He was not a novice in battle. Even if it was an era when black magicians were rampant, there would be no black magician in modern times with this level of skill, when black magic has declined.

After blocking a few times, I slapped the old man’s head.

The reason why even if you reach the 5th Circle, you cannot be compared to the 6th Circle is that the quality of black magic used is different.

There was a difference of about 5 to 10 times, and I had more than 10 times the efficiency. This was because my mana sensitivity was high.

Kwaaaang!

“Kuh-erk!”

“……!”

The old man flew far away and crashed.

The surprise doesn’t end here.

The vampire nobles, who had been taking the vampires’ attacks a few times, tore apart the old man’s summons.

Chwak! Chwachachak!

“Kuaaaak!”

“Lord!”

The opponent’s vampire disintegrated, spraying blood, and soon disappeared into black smoke.

The old man jumped up from his seat.

Blood was streaming from his head, and his teeth were clenched.

“Your teeth will hurt if you do that. You’re old and your teeth aren’t in good shape, so don’t clench them like that.”

“You son of a bitch!”

It seemed difficult for him to admit that I had reached the 6th Circle.

I lightly shook my head from side to side and loosened my body.

“Let’s play a little. Come at me properly.”

Bang! Kwakwakwang!

Thud thud thud

The huge hall was shaking as a whole.

At this place where the leader of Dark Moon was being decided, the Dark Moon disciples could not close their mouths as they watched the wondrous sight.

Vice, the second-in-command of Dark Moon, muttered as he watched the scene.

“The 6th Circle.”

“The 6th Circle!?”

“It’s clear. That guy’s summons are vampire nobles.”

“No way… No 6th Circle black magician has appeared in the last 100 years, has there?”

“He appeared before our eyes.”

They were shrouded in black currents, but the Dark Moon disciples could clearly see the scene of them fighting.

Hundreds of black magic spells intertwined in the air, and to make matters worse, they were fighting directly.

The challenger’s vampires had already torn apart the leader’s vampires and retreated.

“There’s no need to use summons.”

“Now… is the leader being pushed back?”

“It’s not just being pushed back.”

“T, then?”

“He’s being beaten unilaterally.”
