◈ 136. [STAGE 5] Road of Ice and Corpses
The shattered corpses of ghouls are strewn across the fields like weeds.
Everywhere on the land swept away by the bombardment is on fire, and acrid smoke rises into the sky.
On the path of this devastated battlefield.
The 10 vampires were walking lightly as if they were out for a walk.
It’s still far away, but it’s clearly visible to the naked eye.
‘He’s smiling.’
These monster bastards, laughing as they walk through the bodies of their allies strewn everywhere.
Since I had learned that regular artillery fire and sniping were meaningless to them, I did not give orders to fire.
The vampires got close in an instant.
When they got to the point where their voices could reach each other, I shouted.
“Can I ask you something, Vampire King?”
Then the vampires stopped all at once.
Sitting on the palanquin, Selendion looked up at me and smiled.
The smile on his face, like that of an innocent boy, smelled of blood.
“However much. ash.”
“Why did you send the ghouls first and let them die?”
At my words, Celendion tilted her head.
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“While your Ghouls and Fallen Blood minions were annihilated, why did you vampires just watch from behind?”
Even the bosses Selendion and Alpha Beta were aside.
Wasn’t it worth sending a regular vampire in the wave?
I couldn’t understand it tactically, so I asked. however.
“You are making a strange noise. human.”
His answer to my question was really unexpected.
“Are you sick with your dog?”
“what… … ?”
what is this sound.
《My ghoul subordinates who were wiped out earlier, as for us vampires… … It is similar to a hunting dog.”
Celendion calmly explained.
“Of course I cherish and love you. Enough to take my life away. My loyal and courageous army fighting the enemy together. But, it’s a dog.”
“… … .”
“Can’t we just eat together at the same table?”
Knock!
my teeth meshed
“… … What do you mean by ‘meal’?”
“You know, don’t you?”
Celendion reached out and pointed at us.
“It’s you.”
“… … .”
“You humans are our meal. ash.”
I clenched my fists tightly. To me like that, Celendion kept talking.
《Remove the hounds first. A human being weak enough to be killed by a dog is dog food. But if you survive my dogs, then you can say you have proven your minimum qualifications.”
“Qualification… … say?”
“Yes. To be eaten by us vampires.”
Selendion smiled softly and looked over at us from the top of the castle wall.
“People who are prey to dogs don’t really want to eat them. That’s why we release the dogs first and ‘select’ them.”
“… … .”
“Isn’t it the same for you? Choose and eat more delicious pieces of meat from quality livestock. What about leftovers? Don’t you give it to dogs and pigs? It’s the same reason.”
Bullshit, proudly.
This vampire bastard was spitting.
“I am a vampire. Strong, willful. know how to fight He wants noble human blood. Because it tastes much better that way.”
“… … .”
《You guys who withstood the attacks of my dogs also proved your qualifications.》
The corners of Selendion’s lips curled up eerily.
The rest of the vampires had equally terrible smiles.
《Self- let it rejoice. Humans.”
As if looking at a piece of meat on display at a butcher shop, he looked at us with an appetizing gaze.
《You all got a chance to become our food.》
Celendion said so.
“Kuh… … .”
“Crazy bastard… … .”
The pale-faced soldiers hesitated and stepped back.
Except for Celendion, the vampires let out giggling laughter.
Staring at us with the gaze of an obvious predator.
“… … Damian.”
As I was forced to grind my teeth, I looked to the side.
“Let the laughter disappear in the faces of those ruins.”

“Yes, Prince.”
Damian raised the crossbow in front of his chest.
“As commanded.”
Damian drew an arrow from the quiver in front of him and loaded it into his crossbow.
Take a breath, take aim, and-
Push!
Lightly, shot.
***
Wedge-!
An arrow is shot from the wall and flies away.
The arrow pierced the sky in an instant and approached the vampires.
“Oh dear.”
Alpha, who blocked hundreds of silver arrows a moment ago and returned them to the top of the castle wall, laughed.
“You’re doing something that won’t work again.”
How can humans be so stupid?
The fate of the prey caught in the spider’s web anyway.
No matter how much I shake and resist, I can’t get out. Why don’t you realize it until the last moment.
《I hope you will soon stop resisting like this bug.》
Saying that, Alpha waved her hand.
Enormous magical energy raged through the bloodstream in his body. Alpha reached out and tried to grab the arrow with that magic power.
《… … ?》
but.
“uh?”
Something was strange.
Even if he tried to snatch it with magic, every time the arrow strangely twisted its trajectory. as if it had a self.
‘What is this… … ?’
The bewildered Alpha eventually gathers her magic and spreads a shield, but
Chaeng-Grang-!
breakthrough.
The arrow pierced the shield and rushed between Alpha’s neck and chest.
Alpha realized that she would not be able to stop this attack.
《Heuk?!》
That moment,
Kwajik-!
Beta rushed in and swung her ax and hit the center of the shaft. The arrow shattered before reaching Alpha.
At that moment, the strange power in the arrow disappeared, and the arrow shattered and tumbled to the floor.
《Huh, huh… … .》
Alpha’s spine tingled as she looked down at the arrowhead rolling across the floor.
The reddish silver gave off an eerie light.
“What are you doing, Alpha?”
Celendion asked with a smile on his face.
《I couldn’t block even one arrow.》
It wasn’t a criticism, but it seemed to enjoy seeing Alpha’s bewildered look. But Alpha was serious.
“No, that’s Rod. this is… … different!”
“Oh, what’s different?”
《This arrow… … It is not an ordinary silver arrow.”
His own blood magic was destroyed at once. Alpha sensed it.
《This arrow is dangerous!》
As Alpha warns,
Push! Push! Push-!
Arrows were fired continuously from the walls.
The long-range sniping that flew in a parabolic arc was aiming at regular vampires.
《What is it, an arrow?》
“You’re hot… … .》
《This is it!》
Like Alpha, the vampires laughed at the sniping and tried to lightly block it.
but.
hooked! Pooh! Pucak!
《Kuk?!》
《Kheuk?!》
“what-“
couldn’t stop
The first vampire’s throat was pierced after the shield he tried to block the arrow shattered.
The second vampire tried to block it by gathering magic in his hand, but his palm and neck were pierced together.
The third vampire turned into mist and tried to avoid it, but the arrow pierced his neck nonetheless.
The three vampires with arrows stuck in their necks vomited blood. A strange light flashed in Celendion’s eyes.
“It is not an ordinary silver arrow. Hopefully this… … Is it silver from another world?”
Alpha inspected the arrow fragments on the floor and broke into a cold sweat.
“yes. is the last name. But that’s not all. It seems that he was even alchemized with the devil’s mistletoe.”
“You used that precious castle and even mistletoe to make arrows? It’s quite right. It looks like they prepared hard to kill us.”
Celendion snorted.
“But this alone is not enough… … .》
That moment.
Bang-!
Shots were heard from above the walls.
Why? The moment I heard that sound, the nape of the neck of Celendion, the world’s vampire king… … I got goosebumps.
“what?”
Selendion’s bloody eyes followed the trajectory of the projectiles fired from the wall. Selendion soon discovered its true identity.
《Matan?》
Wedge love!
The magic bullet that flew in was pierced right into the head of the first vampire whose neck was pierced.
pug… … !
just blown his head off
The vampire’s body, which caused a bloody blast, collapsed on the floor helplessly. And never regenerated or resurrected.
The spiritual core was destroyed.
However, Selendion did not care about the death of his subordinate.
《… … this is.”
Selendion looked down at the blown head of his subordinate and hurriedly raised his head.
Bang-!
second step.
The magic bullet flew at the vampire who was squirming with his neck and hands pierced by arrows. She couldn’t escape either.
Poo-!
instant death.
Seeing the exploding head of his subordinate, however, Selendion laughed.
《This magic bullet… … !》
Tuquaang!
third step.
The third vampire, who tried to evade by turning into mist again, realized that evasion was impossible.
He felt death and closed his eyes.
percussion-!
Chii profit… … !
However, he did not die.
Selendion, who flew off the palanquin, reached out and grabbed the magic bullet.
Selendion’s grip was torn as he tried to receive the devastating magic bullet, and blood splashed in all directions.
But regardless, Celendion looked down at his bloody hands.
《The magical power of this magic bullet… … Orlop’s!”
If so, the magic gun that fired this magic bullet must have been forged with Orlop’s magic core.
《A weapon made from the essence of the Nightmare Commander-Nightmare Slayer.》
Joy filled Celendion’s face.
“It really is a weapon that can kill me!”
***
Hit with silver, finish with magic.
This is the basis of our anti-kinship tactic.
Damian was doing it alone against the vampire. Castle is to put arrows in and shoot with a horse gun.
In an instant, he sent two vampires to the underworld, and as he was about to finish the third, Selendion interrupted.
But where did you catch the two of them?
“Ha, ha, whoa!”
Damian gasped for breath after firing a series of silver arrows and Black Queen.
I had to aim for the spiritual core, so I focused more than usual on shooting, but it seems that the consumption of stamina is not normal.
Even so, I was about to fire another shot, so I hurriedly grabbed Damian’s shoulder.
“Stop it, Damian!”
“yes? Ha ha ha, but! yet!”
“You did good enough. He said he properly broke the noses of those arrogant bastards.”
I also want to keep shooting.
Selendion has already started blocking it. Shooting more is a waste of ammo and stamina.
“Get some rest and recover. There is work left to do.”
“yes… … .”
Damian sat down against the wall and began to catch his breath. I looked south
After the attack stopped, the vampires started marching again.
He threw the corpse of his dead comrade behind him, and walked lightly.
Now they were really close. The fine wrinkles on his face were clearly visible.
And, Celendion was smiling.
“Hey, hey, hey! Fight, man! Prove your worth!”
With a smile more ferocious than any face I’ve ever had. Like dying of joy.
《Whether it will be food for livestock, food for our vampires, or else- will it kill me and survive! Ego! struggle! It is to fight!”
