Epilogue: King of the Dead in the Coma Palace

Exactly, I felt the best I've ever felt in my life.

I had the pleasure of being a corpse ghost (ghoul) and eating the meat of a warcraft for the first time, but the moment I breathed blood I tasted it, it was out of digit.

Perhaps some say Cenri's blood was of the highest quality, but I know exactly why vampires (vampires) go sipping young women's blood until they commit the risk of being attacked.

Vampires (vampires), as their name suggests, increase their power by sucking blood. It's the same with the lower (lesser) pupae.

Cenri's blood completely regenerated my body, including my heart. A few minutes later, he would have perished, his dying body.

Visible. The powerful positive energy of the Knights of the End. But I don't feel as desperate as I felt the last time.

Now my power - including my whole life - is at its peak.

Lower (Lesser) Vampires (Vampires) are in the preparatory stage of vampires (Vampires) and seem to have weak special powers among the undead, but I don't even care about that.

Nor was the flesh already poor in its lifetime. He has muscles on his hands and feet reasonably well and even his abs are cracked. And it goes without saying about the power hidden there.

The undead flesh, which is not supposed to grow, changes. That is also what the Necromancer intended - a sign that the curse has moved on.

The room had all the knights of the end.

A knight with a mace who tortured me - Nevila - takes a step back with a stunned look. You must have thought of me as a centipede.

"Oh, you, ha-ha!

"Why?

It should have been totally unexpected. But the reaction of the End Knight was unpopular.

The blonde knight - Thelma, who specializes in bows, takes the silver bow she was standing on and shoots the silver arrow with a aim at the moment of the moment. Nevila wields a mace at about the same time.

But I was calm. If I'm not sure I can survive, there's no way I'm a coward coming to the enemy's home.

Mace coming toward me at high speed, an arrow aimed at my head, became a lower vampire, clearly visible to me when I gained human secluded kinetic vision.

Sure, the third-degree knights are much more physically capable and sophisticated than the concurrent mercenaries, but they're human. I have the ability to strengthen my physical abilities with positive energy and move away from humans, but I am not as powerful as I am today as a monster of truth.

Step forward, palm of your left hand, and take the wielded mace before it gains momentum. Grab the arrow approaching the eyebrow with your right hand.

The pain runs in my hand. but it's not about the time I received it when I was serving my solar sentence.

Vampires' blood sucking behavior is not just energy supplementation.

Throw away the arrows. Grab the mace and take it by force from Nevila's hand. The white smoke that was rising from both hands quickly regenerated and disappeared.

"From my neck down now, most of it is made of - centimeter blood. Thanks to you guys for purifying the bottom off my neck."

Flashing end knights. The only thing that is calm is the man of the sun - the master of Cenli, the ephemeral of annihilation.

Strong. Look again, it's overwhelming. Ephe's energy is even isolated from Senri Silvis, who has a gift of celebration that stands out as the Knight of the End.

I've heard the name of Ephe of Destruction before in my life. It is a fairly widely known name among first-degree knights.

The anecdote of single-riding attacks on the Vampire King's Castle and 'annihilation' of thousands of undead troops in just one blow has also become one of the popular plays.

Exactly, a living hero.

No way, I was surprised when I heard that the sun man was an ephemeral of annihilation I was a huge fan of, but I see, then I'm also convinced of the enormous amount of energy that could be extinguished just by its approaching.

Even after my visit, I guess I still keep my hips down because I don't have to stand around to annihilate me.

Ephe of annihilation narrows his eyes and says in a serene voice.

"So, what can I do for you? Lower Vampire - Did you say End? Revenge? To the point where it's back from the neck down... you gonna be able to deal with a bunch of end knights? That's a licked object."

Of course, I don't mean to, hairless. Even now, just in front of me, my heart is like an early bell.

Strong. Too strong. This man is exactly a monster in a man's skin.

I regret coming to this room just a little bit, but this was a necessary process.

Don't get pressure. There's an isolated difference. If you lose in temper, it's all over.

I shrug my shoulders and return the mace I was holding in my hand by pressing it against Nevila.

"Of course, it's not revenge. I have no grudges. I thought the solar sentence was going to go away for real, and I wondered how I could see it like this... even though I have a lifetime memory now, it's undead, and I can't help it."

Watching the third-degree end knights laying their weapons each and putting up a void.

"I know a lot about the Knights of the End. I'm a fan. I've slept a long time in my life, and reading about your activities in a book was the backing of my heart. I'll flush what's about to be killed into the water. Thanks to Nevila's ruthlessness, Cenri sympathized with me. Because she was dying, she gave me her neck."

"Huh!? He... I thought it was sweet, but hey, what a fool... duh."

You finally swallowed the situation, and Nevila stares at me in anger.

It is unlikely that lower vampires will suck the blood of an ending knight with mighty positive energy. Because the positive energy that the End Knight wears is a sword and armor for the undead.

His/her agreement is essential to make him/her breathe blood. That means Cenri was taking off his armor for me at that time and offering me his neck.

Ephe's eyes were warm and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"So what are you doing here? You think I'm gonna give the undead back alive?

"Oh, Cenri is alive. I got a little blood, sweet as a favor, but I'm not cruel enough to kill the benefactor of my life. Because it's not the Knights of the End. I'm staying human... and of course, I'm staying pure."

In my answer, the third-degree knights look and tremble. The face of Ephe, who had previously stood idyllic like a king, is also slightly picky.

"Huh!? You suppressed your blood sucking impulse."

"Oh, I thought I was going to heaven in jeopardy. I even forgot I was about to disappear. I didn't know there was such pleasure in this world... but I'm not going to be flushed by impulses because I'm human. It is proof that I know your names. In the ephemeral of annihilation, Nevila, Ruffrey, Thelma, the plain man there - Adrian. I asked Cenri. Negotiate and defend yourself."

I remember when I inhaled blood and sighed hot. That was an experience that could have changed my outlook on life.

But I couldn't be undead. There are too many enemies in the undead. I want to survive anything.

"Huh... self-defense, huh? Say the terms."

Ephe thinks. My sincerity. Is it good to kill me? [M] disciple and means to help Cenri, who was supposed to be a first-degree knight.

Epe thinks. He said I was going to take Cenri hostage.

But that's not true. I'm not taking Cenri hostage. [M]

I came all the way here risking my life to put on a bully. I didn't want to come if it was true, but I found that all worth it.

Feather-woven, suitable robe found from the ruins of Lord's Mansion. From it, take out a wave of sword tucked away in the sheath.

Nevila and the others' expressions are distorted. To anger, to anxiety, to grief.

When I put Cenri's sword on my desk, I said with the same gentle grin that Ephe had floated until earlier.

"Conditions? You're mistaken. I didn't take Cenri hostage. [M] I'm here to return my sword. Promise me Cenri... I have a message from Cenri. I'm sorry, I'll stop the Knights of the End. Thank you for everything."

§

The Luffreys open their eyes and quickly turn to a frozen look.

All my words are true. She definitely took control of my willingness to solicit sympathy to some extent, but she made the final decision.

Senri Silvis is an end knight, but he has a distinct difference from other end knights.

The end knights, the Neviras, are allies of justice and enemies of the family of darkness, but Cenri is different. Cenri is on the side of the weak.

She's sweet on the bottom. So I feel sorry for a pathetic, weak undead like me. It can also be said to be gentle, but that is not aptitude as an end knight.

"Cenri told me. He said to stay by my side and watch me not be swallowed up by my instincts as an undead. Attacking people is unacceptable, but instead I regularly give them the blood I need to live. Damn, Cenri's such a good kid, but he's not for the End Knight."

"Kisa, mah..."

Nevila turns a bright red on her face and highs dramatically, trying to get closer to this one. I raised my voice. [M]

The Knights of the End is so horrible. They do not need a reason for their attack on the Dark Families.

"Whoa, wait. Don't attack me. If I die, Cenri dies."

"Huh!?

Ephe's expression turns into something dangerous. I left it to the omnipotence and exhilaration caused by the sucking of blood, and said softly.

"Who kills? Then of course - it's suicide. I made a promise. If I don't get killed in this negotiation or go all the way back, Cenri will die scratching her own neck. I wouldn't be here if I didn't have coverage!

"............... bullshit"

"Luffrey! You guys know better than me if Cenri really does it. You should be careful, Cenri, unlike an undead like me - you can't live when your neck and body are separated."

It feels great to be stared at.

I'm a harmless, pathetic undead, but I'm not so objectified that I don't feel anything when I'm forced to disappear from my neck.

I feel frightened to death. Of course, they could kill you here.

But I found Cenri's words worthwhile enough to risk my life.

Strong, beautiful, young, pure maiden blood. If that also allowed me to regularly suck the blood of a member of the former Knights of the End, there would be no better condition for vampires.

Just a little more sucking will regenerate the flesh and gain the strength to this point.

It would dramatically increase my ability to survive if it allowed me to suck blood regularly.

Vampires (vampires) have a terrible special ability to suck blood and make their subjects family members - lower (lesser) vampires (vampires).

I don't have a lower (lesser), but even if I do, I can't possibly have her in my family. Because if you turn it into a vampire, you won't be able to breathe blood.

For the first time, Ephe makes a big move. Stand up and say in a calm voice.

"This is ridiculous. If you're going to live a lifetime like that, if you're going to live a lifetime where vampires just suck blood, it's mercy that kills you..."

"Oh, you're right. Absolutely."

I am no longer a monster. [M] The iris, which was black, turned into a bloody red, which appears translucent in the mirror. Crucifixes and garlic will soon be a weakness, and if you're not invited, you won't be able to break into someone else's room. I can't even pass on the running water.

But no matter how much I become, the centipede remains human.

Incites with a whispering voice.

"But think about it. No matter how sweet the centipede is, it can't be, like spoiling the position of being sucked blood by the chemicals all the time?

"... what are you talking about?

"Cenri is a little lost in blood right now. That's the thing. The one who made Senli Silvis weak - undisputed, Nevila, you guys."

Named, Nevila's complexion changes slightly.

Cenri is sweet. It's sweet, and it doesn't change that you're on the side of the weak, but that's impossible, for example, to offer your neck to a vampire who's fought as an enemy all along.

That happened as a result of Nevila's torture...... solar punishment. The solar punishment only made me weaker when I was a pathetic weak man. And that became a burden to Cenri, to himself, who couldn't stop the Nevillas. As a result, she offered me the blood.

They were never meant to be, but they were also very convenient for me. Instead, I even think I'm glad they're about to kill me.

"Actually, Cenri initially tried to go and return her sword herself. But I stopped it. [M] This is how I risked my life and decided to go and give it back instead. Damn, she believes in people too much"

If you do that, Cenri will be restrained and returned to me immediately.

But even if you weren't detained, it wouldn't last forever. She's bottomless friendly, but at the same time she has common sense, and she's smart.

She is just. And I'm sure I'm evil. [M] It is quite possible that intransigence will occur in the meantime.

My relationship with Cenri is very dangerous.

Make a slightly more serious look and tell Ephe.

"Cenli is strong. To be clear, she's a monster. Even if I get a little blood, I won't be an enemy. She is not a captive princess. If I become harmful, Cenri won't hesitate to kill me."

"... so you want me to miss it?

"If you kill me now, Cenri will die without hesitation. She's very unstable right now. All we need is a little time for her to calm down."

But I won't let Cenri calm down. What Cenri is holding towards me right now is sympathy. If you're not weak, it disappears, too.

By then, I have to engrave into her the reason why she can't kill me for some reason.

Well, I'm not worried. I'm an undead, perhaps the kind of king of the dead that Lord didn't intend to survive.

I cannot be an enemy of justice. [M] Unless you get attacked.

Ephe laughs with her nose. He opens his eyes and looks down at me.

A sharp glance that I don't expect to be released from an old man. The intimidation I feel from a large body is a terrible thing for me to bet on everything I can already bet on.

My heart is shaking. But I don't give it a look.

Peel your teeth out, Ephe says quietly.

"The Knights of the End, too, are licked objects. Do you think it would be so sweet if you missed it with bargaining materials to that extent? End, you're mistaken. Cenri lost. Her death is her responsibility and there is no choice. Our mission is to kill a dead man as tough as you."

I laugh at the words with my nose. It's no big deal to destroy the ephemeral.

I live. Use every hand, force, word, luck to survive.

"Cenli hasn't gotten so sweet if you can take that choice. I am a fan of the Knights of the End, so I know it well. You are merciless to your enemies, but sweet to your people. And I don't make the wrong choice. If I could kill him, I would have killed him. I'll check again... are you going to make your precious princess feel like just one harmless lower (lesser) vampire (vampire) like me? Ha ha... to die for nothing. She said that if I were killed, she would testify to a death journey, but Cenri and I would not be where we were going in the first place."

Ephe smiles and shuts up. Luffrey and the others are staring at the master's face with a harsh look.

Prepare to move out. Ephe's abilities are unknown, but it's midnight now... it's undead time. In the unlikely event of an attack, we may be able to escape.

Before one of the lower vampires - "The Dark Rover (Dark Stalker)" says he has the art of lurking in the dark.

But I can't use that power because the absorption of Lord's soul has caused me to jump over that rank. You might be able to do it if you practice, but at least not now.

But Ephe doesn't know that.

They think. My threat and the value of the centipede hang on the balance.

The Knights of the End do not err. Only a slight sound of the clock needle moving echoes into the room.

The silence ended abruptly. Ephe frowned and slowly lowered his back to the chair where he was. The disciples breathe in relief.

I don't think you tried to kill me in a tragic way, sweetness, but it would mean that both Ephe and Nevila are human.

They can afford to care for others. I don't have it.

"Oh, yeah. I had another errand to run. You took it from me - I want my shadow amulet and sunset coat back. That's what it takes to make peace in the city, and that's what Horos is all about. It's mine. Even you let the princess stay in the wild... you won't sneak, will you?

"... Luffrey, get it... will you"

"Yes."

I didn't expect you to give it back, but it's going to work.

Ruffrey takes the familiar sunscreen coat and shadow amulet out of the safe in the back of the room and gives it to Ephe.

When Ephe put his coat on his desk, he pinched up an amulet with black gems that concealed negative energy.

Give it to me before I see it with anticipation and say it in a quiet voice.

"End you...... let's get in your mouthpiece this time and miss it. But I didn't believe your words. What I believe... is centipede."

Piscilli and crackles in the gem. And before I could raise my voice, the black amulet splashed in pieces.

Ephe pays lightly for the shattered shards, with a thin grin, says.

"Leave while I'm still too busy - suppressing my anger. And can you tell Cenri? I'll definitely pick you up," he said.

"... chip, you monster"

An exhilaration as if something was about to be born.

If you don't just leave, they'll really kill you. Ephe's words only had the power to convince him so.

A little too provocative? But... I've earned time.

Turn your back. At about the same time, a silver blade passed right next to my cheek.

There were no signs. There was no sound. I wasn't alarmed. White smoke rises from the wound that ran to his cheek. It was the Cenri sword I had returned that made the blunt noise and was poking at the door.

Almost at the same time you feel the pain, your heart rings hard.

"I gave it back to Cenri, Mr. End. The sword - it's not light enough to be returned on its behalf..."

§

At the same time as I got out of the building, not to mention the fear that had sprung up from my feet.

Run out as hard as you can to avoid being swallowed by it. The lower vampire's leg turns me into a wind and just happens to pop out of Engay City.

I'm a coward. I was scared to death all my life, and now I'm scared of being killed.

But unlike old times, there's something I can do right now. There is power in the means that can counteract it. I have a body that moves freely. I have a future.

After a while in the woods, I finally stop running.

Under the moonlight, only the cold wind is stroking my cheeks. There was no chaser. But it was never, ever forgiven.

I have become king of the dead to an already unforgivable being, to the enemies of the world.

But that's fine.

Use all means. Let's sacrifice everything.

Use kindness, emotion, anger, joy, everything. If freedom and tranquillity are to be obtained with it.

- I'll be the scariest monster in the world, spoiled.

Cenri should be waiting in the woods. We need to talk about how to escape.

It's going to be important. When I calmed my breath, I felt the joy of survival and went into the back of the woods singing my nose.
