Not good.

Not good, not good.

I made fun of it.

Really bad damage. If you stay like this, you die in an instant.

Grapenil is removed and hemostasis is performed "remotely".

Just keep it till night and you'll be fine. Play.

Tighten the affected area with grapenil to stop the bleeding, as the right leg is missing from the middle of the leg. It is then that the wound is again filled with grapenyl and cured.

Since there are holes in the arms again, the holes attached during the battle are similarly filled with grapenil and hardened.

My stomach is torn and my bowels are spilling. I didn't really feel the need to put it back, but that's why I wrap it around with grapenil and tuck it in my belly by letting it contract. The holes in the abdomen are also blocked with hardening while tightening with grapenil.

My nose and ears and jaw are missing. Appropriately moulded with grapenyl, cured, and hemostatic.

Tighten with grapenil because the skin is flaky by the way.

It's the brain that doesn't taste good. I'm still conscious now, but I've heard that if my brain is damaged, it can be active for a while. Just because you haven't lost consciousness now, there's no chance you won't lose consciousness in the future. Skull holes are also blocked with grapenil.

I protected the heart itself, so I won't die instantly. But losing too much blood doesn't taste good. Blood is HP for vampires. If that runs out, you'll probably die.

Check the surrounding conditions with "Chirii Eye". Craters are formed due to the impact of the explosion. The "black wind" was blown away by a blast, or vanished by the shock of an explosion, anyway, the black dome was gone.

There is no appearance of Sterck. It means it was a suicide bombing that converted all the flesh into magic. Damn, I can't believe you chose to blow yourself up over there... you can't even notice that.

Well, anyway, you'd better survive. I'll survive.

It's dangerous to be in the crater. Too conspicuous. It wouldn't have stopped if other enemies had attacked me here.

Operate the grapenil, wrap it around the trunk of a distant tree that didn't reach the blast, and wrap my body around it too. Flushes and contracts magic and carries my body to the roots of a tree.

I can't stop bleeding.

Not as playable as night time, but still should have some healing power. At least it's not strange that the blood has stopped.

But one of the holes in the arm and the regeneration of the torn belly does not begin. You're supposed to be stopping the bleeding with grapenil, but the blood keeps flowing so that it leaks out of the gap.

HP is grinding away. My remaining HP is about 3,000, but I'm losing about 10 seconds. If you stay like this, you die in five minutes. Naturally, we won't be able to make it by sundown.

Damn... why are the other wounds regenerating...

So I have one idea, and I "appraise" the silver parts that were just falling nearby. It's part of the magic circuit used in the carriage.

Magic Transmission Circuits (Author: Sterck Greyste)

Quality A + Price 1200 Dell

Parts made of an alloy of 50% misrill, 30% silver and 20% copper. Relatively little magic loss at transmission. It is mainly used for amplification circuits.

... Materials cost a lot, Sterk.

But for now, I get it. The only reason the scratches don't regenerate is because of the silver contained in this part. The other wounds may have been with pieces of wood or something.

Not good.

Pretty bad.

What if the fragments that were piercing your brain contained silver? Honestly, I don't know if it plays when it comes to the brain. Because you don't have tactile nerves in your brain?

If my brain doesn't regenerate anyway, I could seriously lose consciousness after this...

The world spins.

It distorts from the edge of my vision, and it becomes sumptuous.

My consciousness just disappeared into darkness.

Areya and Fanatique were confronting each other in the cave.

"'Why are you here' or something, but as far as I'm concerned, I just have to say 'it's a coincidence'"

Fanatique laughs bitterly.

"Leaving Leggin, I wanted to find out first the history of the battle between the Demons and the Braves in order to find the sincerity of the Lord God. But the stories of the brave predecessors remaining in the oral tradition must have been conveniently distorted. That's why I actually wanted to see it with these eyes. Let's start with the Demon Clan. That's why we headed to the Doyle Federation, the front line. There were some immigration twats... unnatural, I guess?

"No......"

Nothing unnatural. Two days after Fanatique left Leggin, Prayer Ri and Aaliyah also headed to Doyle. Considering that the prayer riders were carriages and the fanatics were on foot, there was a chance of catching up.

"And I went wild around here, and I was looking inside because there was a nice cave."

Aliya remembered outside that there were signs of a collapsed burning fire.

"... so you said you got in the way because you heard me?

"It's not a good way to put it. At first, really, I didn't think it was your voice. I was just trying to help because someone was obviously attacking me. Believe me."

"Really? Then I believe you, could you stay out of the way?"

"No. Then it doesn't make sense to go into a helper knife."

Poking an extinct black machete, Areya stares at Fanatique.

"Is it true that 'I didn't think it was your voice'? I do not believe that you, still under the hypnosis of prayer, can harm me, its family. I just couldn't attack because I didn't think it was me...... conversely, if you recognized it was me, you shouldn't be able to attack. No matter how much my physical abilities are diminishing, it's easy enough to kill you that I can't attack you."

"I don't think so."

Fanatique laughs at the face of Aliyah.

"I'm sure I'm a toy to Kiri? Or blue fruit, I guess. Wait for it to ripen, I'm marking it. Can I prune me like that before you do Kiri?

"... it's kind of like a metaphorical pastime. If there's anything you need to take precedence over, you can kill them."

"No, you don't. That's not true. Kiri still gives priority to the afterlife. And that's what you know best."

…………

You were right. Aaliyah pushes silence.

"I am not going to attack you. But I won't let you go from here until just before I die.... you know what I mean? I've already made up my mind."

Fanatique's eyes were straight. Spiritual power that is hard on the "magic of spiritual interference" of Prayer Ri, but can be countered. It did not seem to Aliyah that the word was false.

(If I say or stay like this, I won't even be able to fulfill my minimum goal...... no, what if there's no other exit in this cave? It is also a hand to keep standing here, sealing up the brave men and waiting for Prayer Ri to catch up......)

But this cave is large and complex to the extent that it is branched along the way. There may be other exits, but Areas without skills like Detection did not have the means to know if there were exits.

(It's a risk hedge. It would be harder to have another measure available, only without moving from here. e.g. smoke…)

Use magic to smoke caves with smoke, causing monoxide poisoning. Or if you have difficulty breathing, you can slow your escape. As for Fanatique, you just have to pull him out of the cave before he dies.

Aaliyah prepares a magic formation in the back hand.

While hiding the source of the fire, he made smoke carefully and compressed it.

(At this pace, it takes more than enough to fill the entire cave with smoke... so that they don't somehow notice until then...)

"So why was Mr. Allie hunting down those kids? It didn't seem like there was anything special about it other than the rare protection."

After a short tour, Aaliyah started talking.

"They're an adventurer party that got the same request from the city of Leggin"

"Hmm? What's going on? Did they embezzle you for a fee?

"There's no reason for that."

"Right. To that extent, Kiri seems to be able to solve things without roughing them up.... after all, does that weird blessing have anything to do with the word 'holy sword' you used to say?

"... it doesn't really matter that he is a brave man"

"Oh, I knew I was a brave man"

Oddly enough, the two thoughts coincided in "buying time".

"Actually, not only the Demons, but the brave ones wanted to see it with this eye. I was wondering if it would be difficult to fit in with the Demon Clan, just fine. Even more so, I can't let you through anymore."

"... the reason I'm after them is because they know we're Demons"

"Heh, take you guys. I never noticed, but the brave ones do, don't they?

"Our aim is to seal their mouths. You don't have to kill me. If I can hypnotize you just like you, that's enough."

"I see"

"Fanatique. Even if you're stopping me here, it's stuffed if Prairie catches up to me later. If you cooperate with us, they can stay intact, and you can make contact with the brave. Isn't this Win-Win already?

"But there might be another way out. If there's a chance they can get out of there, there's a little point in me standing here."

More or less, Fanatique continues.

"I can't trust the words of those who have magic in their backs."

"... Really? Too bad."

(Shall we faint Fanatique now...)

Aaliyah prepares for magic activation.

The next moment, there was a roar.

The aftermath of the explosion reaches this far, and the branches rock leaves rise.

To the wind and dust that poured into the cave, Areya and Fanatique prevented their faces with their arms.

The black wolves reverse their hair and intimidate the direction of the explosion.

"Hey, what!? Now......"

"Prayer...?

Aaliyah found a black cloud far above, small as a dot.

(Perhaps Prayer Ri used Stone Barrett. That's what's causing the explosion right now...?

Think that far, and Aliya shakes her head.

(You're not. Stone Barrett would have sounded more intermittent... then what the hell is this explosion...?

I had a bad feeling about it, and I got a flicker in the back of Aliya's brain.

A black wolf turns and pulls the hem of an areya skirt.

"... what's up?

"Your husband's reaction..."

Zorr.

As never before, Aaliyah's spine froze.

"... don't you have to go?

"Prayer..."

Not even answering Fanatique's query, Areya runs out. And the black wolves followed.

Confirming that Aaliyah's figure had disappeared into the back of the woods, Fanatique sat down on the ground with a broken knee.

I try to put my strength into my trembling knee but I can't get up. Fanatique mocks himself unexpectedly.

(was ~, critical...... Mr. Allie, the signs are out of step with what happened before. Is something wrong...?

Returning the Hammer Unlita to stone and returning the unicorn, Fanatique exhaled heavily.

"Well, it seems the only place Kiri loves hasn't changed... but thanks to you, I've saved her this time."

"Dear Knight!

When Fanatique turned to the voice, there was Seontae, May, Fiona and Lily, each running with a spare dark vessel.

"... could you possibly have fought with it?

"Look, I can't pretend not to see... we're the reason..."

Sorryfully, Fanatique laughed after being a little grumpy at the sweaty and sayin 'Seongtae.

"Hehe, that's sweet, you guys."

"So, what about him?

"I went somewhere. Thanks to you."

"Ku... did I miss..."

"No, it was the side where you guys were running away... well no"

Did you lose your mind, Fanatique stood up softly and offered his hand to Suntae.

"I'm Fanatique. He's a former cleric knight, but now he's traveling alone for a reason. You're a brave man... and you fit in, don't you?

"Yes, sir"

"I wanted to meet the brave man once. Greetings!"

Fanatique shook the hand of Seon Tak, who had been offered an extra gift.

……

…… What's the matter, Mr. Zenta?

……

Shinjing Seita stiff while shaking hands. Fanatique tilted his neck. May says so at first sight.

"Master Zenta is not used to women..."

"Huh!? Are you a big member?

"Even this member,"

"I don't know... you're an interesting man, brave man"

Fanatique gently releases his hand. As a result, the stiffness of Seita was also removed.

"But I can't believe I'm meeting a brave man here. I didn't think I'd be able to see you because I'm supposed to be busy raiding demons right now."

"... Demonic raid? What are you talking about?

To May's question, Fanatique tilted his neck again.

"Is that it? Didn't you hear? I thought you were looking after the Duke of Greyste because you were here."

"I didn't ask...... no before that, I forgot! Master Sterck should be currently engaged!

"Oh, in battle... with whom?

"Takafujiinori."

"Takafuji... Inori..."

Whatever you think of it, it was about Prayer Ri.

"... Huh? Isn't that good? Aren't you finished?

So Fanatique also came to the pin. Earlier explosions were in that battle.

(Uh, you're fighting the Duke of Greyste alle...? Did Mr. Allie's rush mean he was injured? Not strong? I should have apprenticed instead of just eating dinner...... or if I was no longer in the Duke of Greyste right now I wouldn't be able to enter the Doyle Federation......)

Sterck Greyste had a wide face.

"... Dear Fanatique, I would also like to ask you about the demonic raids, but I was wondering if we should head to Lord Sterck's rescue first"

"Yeah... but I may not be able to help where I went... no, but let's just go. There may be something we can do."

The fact that you fought with Prairie means that Sterck is likely not safe either. Even where Prayer Ri was talking and falling, there is also a force called Areya. I thought it wouldn't help, at least in terms of combat.

(Well, you're not going to abandon it...)

Fanatique laughed unexpectedly at Suntai, who was already ready to go, even though he thought he was in a bit of a hurry to live...

─ ─ Your husband's reaction is so weak! ─ ─

(Prayer...)

Aaliyah was running. The same thing happened after the demon storm (Stampede) happened before, but at that time it ended with worry. Areya wonders if it will be the same this time. But I couldn't quell the unpleasant feeling of boiling on my back.

(Ku... my legs are slow...)

Coverage of 'restraint' was still ongoing. Still running at an adult masculine speed, but it was too late for Areya.

Suddenly, the shadow of one of the black wolves spreads wide. It was Fenrir who emerged from it.

"Aliyah!"

"Fenrill! Have you finished playback yet"

Aliyah crosses the fenril, which shrunk to the size of a horse. Fenrill began to run with the momentum of leaving the other black wolves behind.

Forest trees flow backwards at tremendous speeds and eventually out into a wide space with no trees.

The grass, which should have covered the ground, rolls up every single side root, exposing the colour of the soil as if it had been plowed. By the way, there was something like a crater, which represented the fierceness of the battle that took place here.

In it, there was a large crater.

A little off the edge, blood stains.

"This... is..."

Fenrill approaches and leans his nose against the bloodstains.

The smell of the Lord's blood.

"Eh..."

The traces of blood that had been drawn had gone to the woods and disappeared into the bushes.

"Prayer..."

Aaliyah descends from Fenrill to the ground and traces the trace of his blood.

"Prayer...!

Something slightly felt at the end of the bush.

─ ─

The grass leaves were ripped apart, and what seemed to be the root of the tree was...

"-Prairie!!

The clothes are torn unbroken and the whole body is stained with blood.

The mandible seemed to solidify with black yarn scraps tangled together and, if you look closely, the feet were the same.

When Aaliyah holds up her body in prayer, she puts her ear to its chest.

A heartbeat that I do feel.

(Alive...)

When Aaliyah put the flesh of Prayer Ri to sleep on the ground again, she took off her clothes so as to break her shirt left and right.

(black thread scraps of wound...... probably stopped the bleeding with grapenil......)

It was probably the same thing that was shaping the mandible and legs.

That hemostasis represents an effect in most wounds, but only the abdominal wounds that should be doing the same with grapenil are still bleeding out. You haven't blocked the wound yet, the air was coming in and out to match your belly going up and down with your breath, and blood bubbles were forming at the edge of the wound.

For vampires, blood equals HP.

The words in the prayer were remembered.

"─ I'm dying soon. He."

"Silf......"

The little black girl, coming down from somewhere, laughed small.

"What does that mean?"

"It means the way it is. I'm under more direct control than you guys... so I get it. Maybe in less than four minutes, you'll lose all your blood and disappear."

"Why is this happening... even though you're slowing down in the daytime, you should have the ability to play it yourself"

"It must be because of the misrill parts there. There was silver in the mixture, wasn't there?

"... what can I do"

Even as Prairie explores the possibility of survival in her brain, her expression darkens, Areya.

Also, Silf laughed.

"... what's wrong, you are. Prayer Ri is dying right now, but don't think of a way to help him..."

She realizes something and Aliya stares at her.

"No way......! Do you have any idea how?

"Yes."

"Then tell me that quickly!

"I don't want to."

"─ Huh!

Aliyah hands on the knife pattern. Silf saw it and jumped back to escape.

"And naturally!? It's you who's weird!

"What..."

"Because his soul is bound, we have to obey his will... but now he's losing his mind, and on top of that, if we leave him like this, it's our chance to die. This is your chance to escape... to be free!

Silf complains with an impatient look.

Aliya, who was looking down, picked up the grapenil that was falling straight to the ground and manipulated it.

"Hi-"

The black thread, roaring the universe like a creature, wraps itself around Silf's body and ties it up.

He let his magic flow and shrink into the areal grapenil, poking the tip of an extinct black machete at the neck of the silf that drew him to hand.

"Ah... gu"

"You have no choice. Show me how.... even if it's a spirit, this knife..."

Aaliyah brings the black blade tip closer to the small, thin neck of the silf.

"Sure I can kill you"

"Huh..."

The eyes were dark and sinking, and Silf breathed.

"Wow, I get it. I say... so let go"

"… would be good"

"Not at all... if Inori is Inori, you're you too"

Grapenil unraveled and breathed, Silf said as he looked at the body in prayer.

"Now Inori is in a state where she can't recover her HP even if she has blood because she can't use her" Blood Sucking "skills... but if she drinks your blood, a servant, she might be able to recover"

"Really?

"Maybe... it's basically supposed to be the same blood, so it feels like a blood transfusion"

"... I see"

What did you think, Aliya picked up the silver fragment that was falling to the ground and cut the meat deep as it was when she pressed the tip of it against her shoulder.

From the wound on Aaliyah's shoulder, blood flows.

"Hey."

"Prayer..."

Approximately panicking silf. Areya lifted his body and pressed a shoulder wound against his half-black prayer mouth.

From vampire instincts, or Prairie pours the blood of an areya into his mouth into his throat.

"Mmm..."

Slightly, Aaliyah trembles.

Prairie, unconscious, bit her on the shoulder and began to suck blood.

(Kind of a weird feeling...)

My own blood pours into his body. When he was made his servant at the Royal Castle of the Kingdom of Rising Sun in the past, Areya has had a similar experience. At that time she felt nothing in particular because she was also human. But now that I have become a vampire that means more to "blood," I remember an emotion similar to a kind of pleasure.

The blood of Aaliyah is swallowed up and down the throat Buddha, through the pharynx. Eventually absorbed by the inner wall, it becomes part of shaping the prayer lining. That time of being united with him was like a kiss, giving her a definite sense of fulfilment.

(Oh... I knew...)

Aliya thinks as she closes her eyes.

(Though I thirst for freedom to die... and I want to be free to kill...)

A glimpse of him on the shoulder.

(I can't live in a world without this person...)

"Huh..."

Phew, Prairie stopped sucking blood. Keep moving slowly away from Areya's body.

"Allie...... ya......?

"Prayer! Have you noticed?"

"I... oh, no. I see."

Looking around and somehow grasping the situation, Prayer Ri led her to hug her again.

"Hey... Prairie!?

"It's better to keep the bleeding down if you don't move... HP residually, it's about five minutes away"

(No, my brain damaged my spinal cord, and it didn't affect my consciousness. What were you thinking after blowing your head off once... you mean I was in a hurry too? I saw it in Clairvoyance and my brain is healed.)

Prairie sighs on Areya's shoulder. Part of that exhalation fell on Aaliyah's ear, turning to the tickle.

"But I see. It's a risky choice."

"... Risky, is it?

"You're also going to lose Aaliyah's blood. This. Though stronger in the day than I am, it's not infinite. You're just putting off time after all."

"But there's another way..."

"You just have to let Fenrill and the Black Wolf Forest suck the blood out of your hunted prey,"

"" Ah. "

Aaliyah and Silf aligned their voices.

Prairie can't use her Blood Sucking skills, so she doesn't have the means to recover from improvisation. But that's not the case with Fenrir and the Black Wolf. The blood they have "sucked" from their families will belong to the prayer, and as a result they will be able to recover.

"Fenrill and the Black Wolf head straight to the woods." Detect "tells the location of every demon in your mind."

Copy that.

"There are many powerful monsters around here for close proximity to the Doyle Federation. If you can hunt at one pace per minute, you should outweigh the decrease.... Aaliyah keeps me away from here... right, I like the east direction. Bring it to me."

"That's good..."

"There's a reaction to Detection approaching us. I checked in" Chiriko, "but with a party of communally handicapped brave men... fanatics? I don't know why you're here, but if you stay like this, they'll find you. I want to avoid that."

"Okay."

Aaliyah hugs Prayer Ri. Fenrill and the Black Wolves rushed out to the back of the woods immediately.

"... Speaking of which, what will you do with Seita Shinjing?"

"I can't help it if this happens. By the time I killed Sterck Greyste, the noise had become too loud. No matter how hypnotic you are, you can't erase the information. Mostly about him. It is possible that he had already given certain information to the McCard Empire in advance."

"So..."

"Oh. From now on, I have to move on the assumption that the Brave Army knows I exist. Doyle, the Federation is canceled."

This battle was, in a way, his defeat.

Nor could the lowest goal, Shinjing Seita, be hypnotized, and the result was to give almost all the information he had ever kept secret to the McCard Empire and to the army of the brave.

(But only in the battle between Sterck and me... if survival is the winner...)

Prairie laughs.

"─ I win. Sterck Greyste"

Fenrill caught the smell of blood nearby. But that's not the same place that Prairie pointed out in Detection.

"What's this?"

It wasn't the demons or the demons that were there. It was just a human child.

Is it after something attacked me, the red skin like my skin is heavily curled and full of blood? Because of the faint breathing noise, I only knew that I was alive.

"(... seems to have less blood to suck)"

It's only a human child. On top of that, he grew poorly or was in a badly dressed shape. I can see that most of the blood has spilled out.

The purpose of Fenrill now was to suck only one drop of more blood for the recovery of Prayer Ri, and he couldn't afford to hang on to a dying child.

"(Stay eaten by demons and die. No, no, strange child. Ooh)"

Fenrill went straight after his next prey and disappeared into the back of the woods.

"... hehe... fuhaha..."

The child laughed quietly.
