Episode 122
There were still a few records about vampires left. In particular, there were many books about vampires in the library of the Duke of Braio. Since they had appeared in this world and committed evil deeds several times, a book analyzing and recording vampires was also handed down.
It was a book called
-Monsters who are charmed by vampires show two physical characteristics. One is that their eyes become bloodshot and their pupils turn red, and the other is that their resilience is improved. In the case of resilience, since it gets its power from ‘blood’, in order to increase its resilience, it must suck the blood of other living beings. In this way, the servants of a wounded vampire become more vicious.
Those who were burned underground ran wild with their eyes wide open. Those who managed to avoid or withstand the bolts pouring down like rain rushed forward without caring about their lives.
“Stop the shield man!”
The soldiers held out shields as big as their size. However, their opponents were not humans, but monsters. Some of them could easily leap over humans.
“Changbyeoeeeeeeeeee!”
The troops at the forefront were the soldiers and knights of Count Thalia. They raised their spears diagonally and stabbed the monsters that jumped over the shield barrier. Those who avoided or withstood even that were killed by the knights’ swords imbued with aura.
‘It’s pretty solid.’
It was my intention to place Count Thalia’s army in the line right behind the shieldmen. I intended to reduce their numbers if necessary. However, Thalia’s army fought better than I expected. No, the flames of Inferno had a stronger effect than I expected.
‘I guess you can leave it alone.’
A horde of monsters emerged from the ground, lined up like sweet potatoes, but I left them alone. The Hebron army did not collapse to this extent.
Suddenly, Iredem appeared between them. He led 500 royal slaves who had learned Sardian swordsmanship. Instead of just defending, he rushed out of the shield wall and launched a counterattack.
‘Vampire, you’ve lived twice, so you’ve met all sorts of people.’
I was a little excited. It was always exciting to encounter the reality of things I had only heard of in theory.
There was a leader of those who had launched a surprise attack, taking the rearguard lightly. Others might not have even detected his presence, but in my three-wheeled camera, I could detect an entity connected to countless monsters by magical strings.
He also noticed my presence. There was no dullard in this neighborhood who would pass by without seeing a blood-red wolf howling and running.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A sphere flew past me, barely missing me. An explosion occurred behind me, and the aftershock ripped my hair apart.
“Fireball?”
The opponent was a wizard. And at the same time, a vampire.
“It doesn’t seem like a true vampire. It’s a vampire that has been subordinated to a true vampire.”
Pure-blooded vampires were called true-blooded vampires. Those who sucked his blood and inherited his power were called vampires. The vampires directly under him not only retained their memories of their past lives, but also received the incredible gift of eternal life.
Something dark leaped out of the darkness. It moved so fast that it was hard to see its shape, but I looked at it through my tricycle.
Since absorbing Barzai’s power, I have not experienced any sudden fatigue while maintaining the Sanryunan. Thanks to that, I have been able to open the Sanryunan even during wartime.
Kaaaaah!
The vampire’s claws struck the side of the longsword. The impact was so great that I almost dropped the sword.
‘He’s clearly a wizard, but he has this much strength?’
The vampire held a ball of fire in his left hand, and his right hand had sharpened its claws.
“Inferno!”
As the firebird swooped in, the vampire instinctively swung his left hand. However, the fireball did not work on Inferno.
Just as you can’t cut me with the nails of your right hand.
Phew! Hoong! Phew!
“He was born a wizard, but his movements are better than those of a high-level knight. He can even use 4th class fire magic. That’s… … mediocre.”
“Kuaaaah!”
The vampire charged, fangs bared.
Louis Fencing 2 second fantasy sword.
Nine swords aimed at the vampire. Eight were the blades of the Lightning Chamber, and one was Serenade’s.
Hook! Hook! Hook! Phew!
It was a perfect attack, but I felt no sensation in my hand. It felt like I was cutting through the air.
As expected, the vampire turned into fog and dispersed, then appeared a meter behind.
Whoosh whoosh!
The flames of Inferno covered the fog. The flames that melted even rocks were focused on the vampire. I looked through the figure with my three-wheeled eye and my magic eye.
‘I guess there’s nothing I can do.’
I don’t know if that vampire is special, but he specialized in fire. It seemed like it was possible because he was a fire-type wizard.
I had no other choice.
Louis Fencing 3 second lightsaber.
The Lightning Chamber is filled with aura.
Parts, parts, parts!
The Lightning Chamber changed part of my aura to lightning properties. That didn’t change the light sword technique.
Hooooooooooo!
I split the air. This time, I felt nothing. But that didn’t matter.
I wasn’t trying to cut down the vampire. I was trying to tear apart the space it existed in, along with the monsters that were writhing around beneath it, waiting for their chance.
Cookies, cookies, cookies, cookies!
A situation that could only be described as divine punishment unfolded before my eyes. The densely packed trees disappeared in their entirety, and the ground that had been firmly supporting them evaporated. Everything mixed in them disappeared along with the explosion of the aura.
A long, straight line of ruins remained. Above it, the remnants of a thunderbolt lingered, sparking.
The vampire and the monsters that followed him disappeared without a trace.
‘At least twelve of these guys. No, now eleven. And a true-blooded vampire.’
The vampires I faced were nothing more than the lower ranks. The true vampires who killed Sword Master Calix of the Kingdom of Kyle were still alive and well. The Bird of Wisdom, Machia, showed me their appearance.
No less than eleven vampires followed the True Blood vampire. Together with nearly thirty thousand of them, they attacked the Bray Army.
‘If I were in the Duke of Breio’s place… … .’
Even without having to fantasize, I could guess the result. It was my complete defeat. Even if I gathered the elite soldiers I had left in Hebron, I could not face a monster of the level that could control the kingdom.
The monster and the Duke of Breyo were evenly matched. No, the Duke of Breyo was overwhelmed.
“Macia, show me more.”
The Maquia that had been showing the situation of the Spy Corps took flight. The higher its altitude, the more things I could see.
‘Is the Duke of Breyo the only one spreading propaganda?’
Zeno’s expedition force was in a defensive position. A fierce battle was taking place at the front, but a little further away, the vampire hordes began to attack sharply.

‘If I keep going like this, my back will break.’
Duke Breyo could not have been unaware of this fact. He moved his left and right wings to break through the enemy’s encirclement. Pacus attempted a long-range attack with his magician group, and Marquis Silverberg charged like a beast, befitting a warrior clan that guarded the harsh north.
“Sir Becky.”
“insect!”
Bekid was the chief knight of the Count of Thalia’s army. He had a lot of experience leading thousands of soldiers, so he was able to entrust him with command of the unit.
After watching my performance, Becky’s attitude towards me became much more polite.
“I will leave this place to you. I want you to guard the supply route, led by Count Thalia’s army. This is the supply route now, but it may soon become a retreat route.”
“Choo-woong!”
In the current situation, it was impossible for the rear supply unit to advance. Even the cavalry sent with Ambrose had to be called back.
Fortunately, thanks to the new Machia of Wisdom, I could see the battlefield at a glance. At least I wouldn’t miss the retreat point and be annihilated.
“Wolf, let’s go where the smell of blood is strong.”
Woof! Woof!
The situation changed in an instant.
With the participation of Archmage Pacus and Marquis Silverberg’s army, the enemy forces were successfully driven out.
The problem was the vanguard led by the Duke of Braiot. There were the Duke of Braiot, Adolf de Braiot, Archmage Pakus, and the Commander of the Knights of Harjan. There were a few elite knights, magicians, and high priests, but they were too busy defending.
“Hurry up, Wulf. Just a little more, just a little more.”
Five minutes, no, four more minutes and we would have reached the Duke of Breyo.
‘I will not let you fall into the hands of others. I will destroy the Duke of Breyo.’
My wish did not come true.
The galloping Bullfrog stopped and barked with its fur standing on end.
Woof woof! Woof! Awww!
He swept away the excited blood of the wolf.
“We don’t have time to deal with you guys right now. Iredem, Demain, Inferno! Take care of them!”
The three spirits were scattered. The primordial darkness had come to the vampires who were called the blood and darkness clans. They were a race more familiar with death than anyone else, so they showed interest in Iredem.
Iredem, transformed into a Durahan, led three troll wights.
One of the guys came to his senses and tried to block my path, but magma boiled beneath his feet. A pillar of fire rose above the molten earth.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
“Wolf, let’s go!”
The vampires wouldn’t die easily. But it didn’t matter. If Duke Breyo were to fall in the current situation, the expedition would be over.
‘I don’t think that’s true, though.’
My heart didn’t pound.
In this situation, having the meritocratic Duke of Braio as an ally was actually a relief.
Contrary to my fears, the battlefield seemed to clear up quickly.
The expedition began by forcing its way through waves of monsters, with the Knights of Braiot cutting through them.
‘It’s indeed Braiota.’
The fact that I had to deal with such a monster felt terrifying once again.
The allies and monsters were fighting, and Bulph passed through them. In the distance, he could see the Duke of Braio and his True Blood vampire party fighting. It wasn’t that far away. If he had just defeated the rampaging monsters, he would have reached the location in no time.
Choaaaak!
Blood spurted out. It was Breyo’s blood.
The moment I saw it, my eyes rolled back.
“Brother Adolf!”
It was the first time in over ten years that I had heard that name. Before the blood that had spurted out like a fountain could even hit the ground, the severed leg rolled around on the floor.
Adolf’s left leg rolled to the vampire’s feet. The creature snatched it up and chewed it roughly.
The true-blooded vampire rushed at Adolf to take his life. In that moment, a huge shadow fell over Adolf.
‘Duke Breo!’
Duke Breyo stopped the True Blood vampire. The aura filled his sword and stabbed the vampire who had lived for eons.
Phew!
The True Blood vampire’s left shoulder was blown off. His left arm was barely hanging on.
“Kyaaaaah!”
The True Blood Vampire and the Duke of Braio clashed. It seemed as if the two were embracing. The two seemed to stay in that state for a moment, and then the True Blood Vampire tilted his head.
‘Hypnosis!’
Anyone who makes eye contact with a true vampire is hypnotized. I thought that Duke Brayo would be able to shake off that. No, my judgment was right.
Duke Breyo quickly shook off the vampire’s hypnosis.
And then he cut off the vampire’s head with the divine sword Reverence.
Seriously!
‘Got it!’
The true vampire did not die. He escaped with his head half cut off.
