Kuraki Kyuuden no Shisha no Ou

139 Lesson 8: Demon King of Night



Castle raids are a tricky task for vampires.For a vampire with a number of deadly weaknesses, it's very hard to be ready.

The inability to cross the flowing water, and the loss of power, is a particularly troublesome weakness, and it is one of the reasons why vampires with great power have not survived so long.

In addition, there is also a weakness that can't be broken into without being invited as a unique trouble when attacking a fort, castle, or mansion. It can be said that the success of the mission I gave to Mirele this time depends on how to solve the problem.

--And with each hassle, Mirele responded with force.

Pull out the tree in a lavish manner and fly it like a bullet.Mass projectiles fired at a rate comparable to cannon fire hit a solid bulwark, slightly rocking an old fort and falling into a deep moat filled with running water.

Numerous soldiers gathered on the outer wall, dumbfounded by their tyranny.If you pull the next tree without worrying about failure, Mirele resumes throwing.

Whatever it is, with the power of a vampire, it is no longer a weapon.Is this about the Simple Is Vest?

If I were to attack a castle surrounded by a moat, I would take a technique similar to the one I was worried about, but she's really flexible.

Looks like... it's really out of the question.

I lowered the bat that was flying high and stopped it on Mirele's head.

"!? Niisama!?"

Mirele immediately discovered the identity of the unnatural bat and raised her voice with a pleasant cage.

With a small scream, I regained consciousness, my sight, and my attention from the [changed body part of the bat].

Exhale with relief. The bat's vision was still flickering in the corner of my head.

The vampire's abilities are useful and useful.Therefore, if you want to fight the same vampire, your victory or defeat will depend on your proficiency.

If I go to help Senri and lose on the contrary, this is not a bad dress.I can't stop losing to Milaire.

That said, there has been no progress in the situation.There's only one Oliver, and my preference is to attack before I give up, but I can't excuse myself when I get stuck in Senri.

Blood power is finite, as if you were practicing strength.Now I have no choice but to share the blood with Monica, but the quality is too different from Senri.It seems that human blood is the best way to gain the power of blood.

So far, the role of the White Puppy Army, which is forcibly becoming a minority elite, has been simple.

Monica checks, Oliver negotiates, and Mirele threatens.I'm...... I'm...?

I only do gymnastics.

"No way, Mr. End." The humans are exhausted, but they don't surrender without showing a single force. ”

"...... I'll go with you to the next negotiation......"

"!? In this day and age, humans don't meet people at night, Endo-sama."

Oliver's frightened, dazed eyes told me to stay out of my way.If the opponent is Senri, I can easily accept that opinion, but what is this feeling?

However, at this rate, I will only be able to work for my subordinates without doing anything.

If it was true, I would have stormed the castle with Mirre, but if I had to do it alone, I would have been more efficient to attack it alone and do something about it at that time.

What should I do to get to Senri fastest?I nodded with my arms crossed for a moment.

"...... Hmm, I have time, I think I'll make a weapon."

"...... yes? What are you talking about?"

Our aim is not only to absorb our subordinates.It was the White Puppy Army's grief that led them to Senri.

All those who succumb to the threat are not very strong, but if we keep weak subordinates and appropriate weapons, we may be better off.

Weapon... It's true that the world is short of weapons, but Endo-sama, do you have any knowledge of blacksmithing?

It's not blacksmithing, but it's magic.

The Void Shadow Demon Lord - Jet Numite Braclion left behind a pitch-black sword.

The Sword of Dawn. A demonic sword that cursed all who touched it, but no one could take it away while I was asleep.And it's a sword that only I can use when I defeat him.

This sword was created by the magic of the earth.

I still can't believe it was just magic that created so many swords - it wasn't just the weapons I inherited from him.

Bloodsucking is more than just nourishment.Putting blood into the body is the inheritance of power.

Once, when I first took Senri's blood, I took over her positive signs and some resistance.I wasn't even a junior vampire when I bit Lord's phantom, but I inherited his memory.

A curse designed by Lord.The [Absorption Curse (Kars Steel)] was a developmental system of blood absorption.

The king of the palace, whose existence is inextricably linked to all demons.When his power flowed into me, I relived his memory. [M]The demon king's soul was still with me.

Touch the stone wall with your palm.Even if I did, I can only use about ten percent of the power of the jet now.

But ten percent is enough. The stone walls are as stupid as clay, creating a sword of stone in your hand.The shape and strength were far inferior to the Sword of Dawn, but it was better than nothing.

The colored blade that burned down compressed the stone by magic.Oliver, who had received the sword, looked at the blade and roared in admiration.

”Hmm... it's a little heavy, but if you're a demon, you won't have any trouble wielding it”

"If you have metal, you can also make metal.I can't suck in ingredients from the earth like a jet to make a weapon..... "

It will take a delicate composition of magic, a deep ritual to the earth, and above all, a mad hunger to reach that area.He reached the abyss of one magic because he was madly exotic.Perhaps I will never reach that limit. [M]

But I can use it as a bargaining tool.If I had a weapon, even a demon clan like the one at the top of the tree would use it.It's better than fighting with bare hands for the reach to stretch, and it's even better than just a stone sword.

What do you think?

Oliver turned his gaze and nodded convincingly as he waved his weapon lightly for a while.

"... it's a terrible force. If you show me the grapes, I'll be able to form a cooperative relationship."At a minimum, we need as many men as we can call the army. ”

"It depends on Milaire..."

The human city is too weak to be the first target, and there are only four of us, no matter how strong we are, we are likely to be licked.

The Demon King's army was weak, but the number was quite high.If we can control them, it will be the first step.Conversely, if you're cornered, you'll have to reconsider your plan.

Vampires have too little time to move.

"Then I'll make you a weapon..."

"Well, I'll be ready to carry the weapon."I wish I had a horse... haha.Unfortunately, we don't have enough horses, and I'll be pulling the wagon for a while. "

Oliver dropped his shoulder and left the room with a pathetic expression on his face.When the white puppy army grows up, I'll give it to the general.

§ § §

Like when your body was free before it was still eaten up by disease - no, it moves more than that.Niisama does a lot of gymnastics, but Mirele knows how it feels.

Even Mirele, which had been suffering from the disease for only a few years, was fading with joy.There was no doubt that niisama was even more joyful that he had literally tasted his powerlessness until his death.

I remember the smell of blood, the signs of battle, and the tremendous exaltation.A stunning fortress. There was no fear of countless murders coming from there.

Above his head, the bat released by niisama was squeaking.It wasn't the full moon tonight.It wasn't the time for the vampires to show their full power, but it was enough.

The vampire's five senses had a lot of information.

Even in the darkness, it looks like daylight, but the blazing flames never dazzle.You can hear the sound of the needle falling, but the roar doesn't break your ears.It's sensitive enough to feel the wind, but it's not vulnerable to stimulation.

In other words, it's perfect. Weaknesses are endless, but if you're careful to bring in the information, you won't get ambushed.

It seemed that Niisama had fought without hesitation to hurt himself, but Mirele hadn't yet seen it that far.

And the sense of avoidance that the body will be hurt is always in one corner of the head when blood comes up to the head in the instinct of struggle, pointing at the water.

Lightly dodges raining arrows and throws shells at trees.The stone walls are solid, but if you do this, they will collapse eventually.

Mirele wasn't transformed into a wolf because the human form was more flexible, but to avoid killing the opponent too much.

I've destroyed several cities to find my base, and I've killed too many of them.If the number of people decreases, the flavor of incorporating the opponent into the subordinate will also decrease.It was one of the reflections on the [Demon Lord of All Nights] operation.

If we keep throwing trees like this, the moat will soon be buried, and the other party will be desperate and raise their voice --- there will still be time until dawn, but I want to go home as soon as possible.

The arrows are fired and pierced into the trees.I'm going to burn down the woods and buy some time with less to throw.

With a restless hand, Mirele pulled out the flaming tree and threw it slightly higher.Burning trees disappear across the outer wall and screams can be heard in the wind.

The opponent must have noticed the prospectus of Mirele.

”Niisama, is it time to follow up on your weaknesses?”

All of Mirele's tactics were based on what Niisama had told me.I was good at imagining.That's all I could do while I was in bed - I didn't expect it to be used in battle.

In response to the question, the bat above my head crackled.Mirele was unexpectedly disfavored by its extraordinary cuteness.

The split transformation of the body is not yet possible in Mirele.Sometimes Millet and Niisama have different tiers, and sometimes they don't have enough experience.

It might be a good idea to borrow a bat to defeat the Demon Lord of Night.I borrowed it by splitting my body, so my niisama's body would be weakened, but even Mirele could attack the fort by herself.If it was Niisama, it wouldn't be a problem.

When I thought about it, a powerful stream of magic power suddenly passed through my sight.

The world that seemed to be in the daylight was shrouded in darkness all at once, as if it had lowered its books.

I didn't lose consciousness.There are limbs, and the wind strokes my cheeks.So this is...

"The Demon King of Eternal Night is called Eternal Night... so"

Sorcery doesn't work on vampires.In other words, this is not a mirror, but something that acts on the surrounding world itself.

I thought I was poor, so I came out.When I opened my eyes and it was dark outside, it felt fresh somewhere, since I was a human being.

Mirre's hearing, which regroups, captures the sounds of the wind and footsteps.

I see, do you see your own army?Although I have never heard of magic, it is originally magic that is greatly influenced by personal qualities.

Mirele looked at him a little lightly, but he was a terrible king.Humans will have no choice. If you're a human.

Dodge fast arrows with just ears and wind signals.Even if my eyesight is closed, it's easy to guess the location of the vampire's five senses.

Of course, I was confident that I would be able to fight in close quarters in an invisible state.Mireille Noah was the first vampire in the Palace of Daze.I have no intention of painting the king's name with mud.

Sharpen your nerves more than usual and detect the position of the assailant.There is little footsteps. Probably, the Dark Elves.

But there was no problem. Mirella's hearing doesn't even miss the sound of the needle falling.

The Dark Elves surrounded the Millet.

Sound. Smell. Skin sensation. When I tried to use everything to sense the movement, Mirele sneezed.

That shouldn't have been possible.Vampires don't sneeze.

I sneezed again in front of the dark elves that were attacking me almost at the same time.There is no room for patience. Suddenly, I feel a warm feeling on my cheek and touch it.

Water. No... tears. Mirele is shedding tears now.And... like a waterfall.

The sword was swung down, and Mirele avoided it at the end of the chaos.However, I felt a tingling pain on my skin that wasn't even supposed to be drifting.

So, Mirele figured it all out. This phenomenon...

"Nnhhhhhhh!?"

It's my brother's revenge, vampire!

Invisible, but sharp slashes are lowered to evade.Something flying from the sword adheres to my skin, causing severe pain.

I drowned in a strange fever whose head was different from the will to fight.My eyes hurt. Mirele rushed to avoid it, even if it was her first time.

The sword is not made of silver.In the first place, a silver sword is a rare thing, and it hardly exists in a country like this anymore. It's not a fatal injury.

But these people... they're coating their swords with garlic juice.

I was completely surprised.If the enemy was going to use it, I thought it was just silver or flowing water. I didn't know garlic was--

I remember niisama saying it with a serious face before.

"Milaire, all our opponents are following their weaknesses."Be careful in battle.They've done incredible things with the Sword of the Cross.If you're not good enough, you might even use a crucifixion of garlic as a sword. ”

At that time, Mirele thought it was a joke and giggled, but it wasn't a joke.

These men--the swordsman's pride is not sharded.

Silver swords, silver arrows.I can't believe it's a garlic coat.

There are many weaknesses of vampires, but even if you say weaknesses in a bite, there is a weight in between.

Garlic was undoubtedly a vampire's weakness, but not a fatal weakness.

Even if you are cut by a sword coated with garlic juice, it will only cause severe pain, and it will not inhibit regeneration or die.Silver is different in nature.

But still - it was definitely the worst attack. Harassment.

Tears and runny nose, desperately breathing to dodge the attack.I can't concentrate on the itching and pain that comes down. I don't have the strength.

Instinctively detects and avoids the signs of a flying silver arrow as your head becomes messy during your first experience.

"It's working, it's working!" Fold it up! "

I feel like changing my whole head.I feel like rinsing all my body with water.What did Milaire do?

At that time, Mirele understood why niisama said that vampires were not easy either."I want you to fight fair and square," said Mirele.

Something is falling from above that emits a terrible pungent smell.Understand its shape from sound and air.

It's a garlic strung up with a string. It's too harsh.

The dark elves stood up and waved down their stinging weapons as they sneezed around the mirror.
