Capítulo 24: Chapter 24: Thank me for your death
Seojin and Taehyung strolled along the city streets, their gazes fixated on the multitude of vampires they encountered.
However, the vampires seemed indifferent, merely observing their surroundings without making any hostile moves.
Seojin pondered aloud, "Are the vampires not attacking us because the others haven't entered the city yet?"
Taehyung nodded in agreement, responding, "That's correct. They will only initiate attacks once everyone else has entered."
Seojin contemplated out loud, "The death toll must be staggering at this stage. Considering the sheer number of vampires, it's inevitable."
"That is true, but most of the stronger Vampires don't care about it. So only the weaker ones attack. For the stronger ones, it is beneath them."
"How strong are the stronger Vampires in this city?"
"Probably as strong as Triton."
"That seems a little problematic. They won't interfere if we hunt weaker Vampires, but when we try to take the lifeline of this city, will they still stay back?"
Lee Taehyung glanced at Seojin, but didn't say anything. His meaning was clear. There was no way they weren't going to react if they found out about this.
If it was that easy, why would it be such an unprecedented achievement?
Seojin also went silent. It was truly a hard plan to complete successfully.
If things went south, they might stand before someone who was as strong as a Gold Rank Streamer. Could he truly kill someone like that?
[All the Participants have entered the City]
While he was thinking about it, he heard a notification.
He wasn't the only one who heard it. All the other participants did the same.
[The Third Stage of the Tutorial will begin]
[All restrictions have been removed from Beginner Vampires]
[Every two hours, more restrictions will be removed]
[The Judge has started observing you]
[The Judge complains why he has to watch over a bunch of kids]
[The Judge grumbles in frustration]
One after another, a barrage of notifications came.
'It's truly like streaming, with constant messages from the viewer. But how interesting... To think that someone is watching everything I do now.'
'This is truly the point where we Players lose our privacy.'
.....
Triton stood inside the City, observing as the gate behind him slowly closed. The notification signalling the beginning of the stage had already been delivered.
"Remember everything I have told you. I will refrain from interfering, regardless of the circumstances! If you reach a point where you feel overwhelmed, simply run and leave this city. I will not come to your rescue."
"While you are fleeing, the Vampires will pursue you for a duration of two minutes."
"If you can survive those two minutes, they will stop their pursuit. However, this is only applicable if you are heading towards the exit, and as long as you do not provoke them excessively."
"Also, this rule doesn't apply for High Ranking Vampires or the ones stronger than that. It's best to leave before restrictions on them are removed, unless you are confident in your abilities."
"Lastly, it is important that you understand that your life rests solely in your hands. Exercise caution at all times."
"Will you not come with us?" A youngster asked, looking with pleading eyes.
Even if Triton said he wasn't going to interfere, just having him nearby was good enough as it could initiate some of the Vampires.
"It is your trial, not mine. I did my job. What happens next is on you."
Triton outright refused.
"Don't waste your time. After two hours, stronger Vampires will have their restrictions removed. It's a good chance to increase your score."
"Yes!"
The youngsters, although hesitant, knew that they could do this! They just had to kill and leave.
"Hey, why are you following me? Take a different path!"
Annoyed, another retorted, "Shut up! This route has the most Vampires! You should take another path!"
Even before they had begun, tensions were running high, leading to numerous arguments among the group.
Some had already opted to explore different paths within the City, seeking uninterrupted opportunities to carry out their kills.
Only a few had noticed that Triton wasn't there anymore. He was long gone.
....
In a high rise building near the centre of the city, there was a bustling rooftop garden overlooking the bustling cityscape.
The view was breathtaking, and the sound of the city below seemed to fade away in the peaceful oasis that had been created.
In the garden, a man was standing, overlooking the City.
In his hand, there was a fragile glass of wine, which was filled to the brim with a red liquid.
The man had long silver hair that came down to his waist behind his back.
His eyes were blood red, and his face looked completely pale.
Still, unlike the other Vampires, he didn't hide his face from sunlight. It was as if the sun did not affect him at all.
He wasn't like the ordinary vampires. He was the Leader of this city. He was the other of this place.
"I did not expect God's Domain to set this place as a Tutorial Zone this time. You are very lucky. If you had come any other time, I would have killed you."
The man calmly spoke, even as he was alone on the rooftop.
Only after he finished speaking, a person appeared next to him. The person was none other than Triton. In an instant, he had covered the vast distance and arrived here.
"Should I thank God's Domain for saving my life then?" Triton sarcastically asked.
"I don't know about life, but you might have to thank it for your death soon. Just like you thanked me for your wife's death."
Triton's fists tightened as he heard the Vampire Lord's words.
"Aren't you getting too confident in your ability? Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"
"If you could, you would have done something by now. The only reason you aren't doing anything is because you know that the restriction on me will be removed the moment I am attacked."
