Episode 124
The true-blooded vampire threw his subordinates away as prey and hid somewhere. He observed the vampires’ placement and marked their locations on a mental map. Then he connected each mark with a line. As several lines were drawn, there was an overlapping point in the center.
‘If anything happens, he’ll probably rush to help the true-blooded vampire.’
I looked down through the three-wheeled tunnel to the area where the lines intersected, but I couldn’t find any special traces. It was just an ordinary bush. It was a place that had previously been used as a lord’s hunting ground.
But my ability wasn’t something like exploration magic. It was the power of a god that could uncover hidden truths.
‘That’s where you were hiding!’
Even with the three-wheeled eye, it was impossible to detect a true-blooded vampire. However, if there was something blocking the three-wheeled eye, there was a very high possibility that a true-blooded vampire would be there.
“I’ll go alone from here. Wulff, wait here until I call you.”
Vampires were everywhere. They watched the approach of the pursuit party with great tension.
If their plan was to be followed, the Xenon Kingdom army would have had to advance towards Kyle’s capital. At least, they should not have set foot in this direction.
“Dimes, erase me.”
The spirit of darkness pushed me into the darkness. As I kept my footsteps quiet, I completely melted into the dark forest.
‘I heard vampires have an incredible sense of smell for the living.’
“Iredem, erase my scent and cover it with the scent of death.”
My skin turned a little pale, although not as much as the Desperados spell, as the aura of death surrounded my body.
I reached a large tree. As I pushed through the bushes, a hole appeared at the base of the tree. I stuck my head into the hole and saw an open space in the ground. A dark figure was swaying in the fairly wide space.
‘Found it.’
I went into the ground without hesitation. It was a fairly wide space, more than enough for a good fight.
“Yes, how did you do this place… … .”
Instead of answering, I glared at the True Blood Vampire with my three-wheeled eyes. He was as messed up as Duke Breyo. I heard that vampires don’t die unless their throats are cut or their hearts are destroyed, but looking at his appearance, he looked like he would die even if left alone.
The true blood vampire recognized the identity of my eyes.
“Yes, you are Brecha’s dog!”
“Don’t define me as you please. I have no intention of living as someone’s dog.”
“Yes, I will give you half of Kyle’s kingdom.”
“You speak as if the Kingdom of Kyle is yours.”
“It’s mine!”
“Yeah, maybe now.”
The true-blooded vampire was oozing magic power as he spoke. He was not normal. At first glance, it seemed like the black cloak he was wearing was sucking up magic power.
‘kid?’
A bit of white skin was visible through the cloak. The vampire tried to hide it and watched me closely.
‘Are you the successor?’
I tried to look at the vampire with my three-wheeled eyes. But this time, my ability was blocked again. It seemed like the cloak was blocking my three-wheeled eyes.
‘A true vampire?’
As far as I know, there were very few true-blood vampires. Only the first vampires were recognized as true-blood, and the rest were classified as ‘Vampire Apostles’ who inherited the power of vampires and ‘Bloodwraiths’ who were blood-drunk lunatics.
The true blood vampire was transferring his magical power to someone inside the cloak. The three-wheeled eye was blocked, but it was possible to observe it with the magic eye.
‘It’s a baby! Can a true vampire baby exist?’
No one knows when the first vampires came into existence. The first records of them were made seven hundred years ago. If the baby was a true vampire, it would have been a baby for at least seven hundred years.
“This kid is no good!”
The true blood vampire tried to protect her young. I blew my aura into the lightning chamber.
Partch, partch! Pfft!
I fired a lightning bolt at the True Blood vampire. It reached out and blocked my attack, but when I pulled my hand away from its neck, blood gushed out.
Louis Fencing 2 second fantasy sword.
Eight phantom swords slammed into the bloody vampire. The vampires turned into fog and were able to dodge the phantom swords, but this one seemed to have no intention of avoiding my attacks. It was because of the baby hidden behind him.
“You’re so weak.”
“If only I hadn’t gotten hurt, you bastard… …! Knock knock!”
The true-blooded vampire covered his mouth with his hand. Blood flowed back up through his throat due to the holes in his body.
The vampire coughed repeatedly and eventually vomited blood. When his blood fell to the ground, I sensed something strange. When I checked with my eyes, I could see the magic power in the blood.
The blood that had spilled on the floor began to pool together.
It was clear that something was up.
Louis Fencing 3 second lightsaber.
He poured his aura into the lightning chamber. Just as he was about to unleash his lightsaber, a burst of magical power erupted from behind the vampire.
Along with him, the baby the vampire was guarding also disappeared.
“Kuuuuu! You will not find that child. The day the Vampire Lord awakens, he will judge the world!”
The baby I just sent away seemed to be a vampire lord. However, I had no interest in vampires. The situation in the Kingdom of Zenon was not good enough to interfere with the affairs of neighboring countries.
“Now you little bastards are going to judge the world. It doesn’t matter. I never had any interest in your child from the beginning.”
The True Blood vampire looked at me with a dejected expression at my words. He had sent the baby away in such a desperate manner that he no longer had the strength to resist me.
“Then why are you doing this to me? I don’t know you!”
“The person you stabbed. I know that person.”
The vampire looked at me. His red eyes seemed to be looking not at me, but at my soul.
Suddenly, a passage I read in a book came to mind.
-True vampires see right through their opponents’ souls. Reading their desires and inciting them is their specialty.
The true-blooded vampire opened his stinking maw.
“Ha! You were a reincarnated person! You fell into the trap of the gods. Join hands with me! I will save you. I will save you from the clutches of the gods!”
Kwakwakwakwakwak!
It was a tempting suggestion, as seen in the literature, but it did not ruin the aura I had worked so hard to build.
I unleashed the 3-second light sword of Lewis Kenjutsu, and the sword energy that stretched out in a straight line blew away the vampire’s head and chest.
The sword even went so far as to make a large hole beyond it.
“Shut up. I’m saving my own life. If there’s a god who wants to catch me, I’ll be like Barzai.”

There was no one to make a sound. The only sound was a dangerous rumbling coming from the newly formed cave.
I sat down and practiced Aura. The light sword was a powerful super move, but its downside was that it consumed a lot of Aura.
Magic power gathered in the body.
‘This, this is… … .’
Fortunately, it was the third most powerful aura I’ve ever had in my life. Having faced such powerful enemies as Barzai and Medusia, I was able to absorb the remaining magical power of the true vampire.
‘The true vampire is beyond my limits. If I hadn’t been injured by Duke Braiot, I would have been the one to die by it.’
Even so, the outcome was already decided. Even a true vampire had no ability to reverse death.
The energy flowing into me wasn’t just from the True Blood vampire. The magic of the vampire apostles who followed him and the monsters that died in this battle also flowed into me. I received all of them in abundance.
After a while, I opened my eyes. Several vampire apostles seemed to be rushing at me to kill me, but they felt the explosion of energy from the ground and ran away in a hurry.
‘I guess I’m going to protect the Vampire Lord. If he takes control of the Kingdom of Kyle, I’ll be able to prevent the final situation where I have to keep the Kingdom of Behol in check.’
Zeno lost his strongest sword. The Duke’s death was not confirmed, but judging from his last appearance, it seemed difficult for him to recover. Even the eldest son who succeeded the Duke became crippled.
“… … It disappeared.”
The scar on my forehead was erased. Now only a round scar remained, called the Fingerprint of God.
I summoned the new Machia of Wisdom. He emerged from my tricycle and illuminated the area with golden light. I observed myself through his eyes.
‘Is it because true vampires have god-like abilities? Perhaps this is the way to escape the Trickster’s clutches.’
“uh?”
As I observed myself through Machia’s eyes, I discovered another change in myself.
“Why are your eyes… … ?”
The pupils turned red. Not blood red like a vampire’s, but a reddish brown that was closer to red.
“This is likely to lead to misunderstandings… … Well, I guess I should just cry a little? I have merits from the war, and there is evidence that I killed a true vampire.”
I picked up the cloak that had fallen on the floor.
It was an ominous artifact that reeked of death.
“Demane, please keep this cloak.”
As I returned to the expedition, I looked through the books in my head. Thanks to memorizing the books in the royal library, I was able to recall the contents related to vampires without difficulty.
– In the era when blood ruled, Nodens, the god of war, blessed humanity.
It was recorded in
“What do you think of the story that Nodens, the god of war, blessed humans during the time when blood and blood were the rule? It’s mentioned in the records of the ancient gods.”
-Nodens, the god of war? The rule of blood? Ah! Are you talking about when Nodens stood on the side of humans and fought against the vampire lord? Those were good times. There was blood everywhere. And everyone thirsted for blood. They wanted me! Blood! Blood! Blood! Blood! Everywhere!
I let the blood cells babble. Anyway, my guess was right. It was clear that the Vampire Lord had ruled this world in the past. It was so long ago that his power could not possibly still exist, but I couldn’t just ignore him.
‘They say that the priests of the Kane religion in the Kingdom of Marcia tremble at the sight of vampires. I have to leak information to them. Then they will react. If the power of the Kingdom of Marcia beyond Behol moves, Behol will not be able to carelessly overlook the Kingdom of Kyle.’

Moving with 94,000 troops was harder than expected. They had to rest often and eat.
As it grew dark and I was forced to sleep out in the open, Gaius came to my tent. The royal wizard had brought him to my side.
“Are you going to hold Duke Breio responsible?”
Gaius brought absurd news: the royal court of Zeno had decided to hold Duke Breio responsible for the failure of the expedition.
“You keep quiet. You might get into trouble. I will reward you.”
“What will happen to the Duke of Breo?”
“This is an opportunity to curb their power. You have nothing to worry about.”
“Innocent blood will be shed.”
“I will try to stop it from going that way.”
Contrary to what he said, Gaius seemed to be insecure.
I had an inkling of it, but I didn’t know that King Zeno would make such an extreme decision.
‘It’s too risky a gamble.’
Even though the Duke of Breio and his eldest son had fallen, the power of the nobles and knights, including the Duke of Breio, had not diminished.
“What about Ruby Youngae?”
“He ordered me to break off the engagement.”
“So you decided to do that?”
“I told you not to, but it didn’t work.”
Even Ruby and Gaius’s engagement was broken off.
