Kuraki Kyuuden no Shisha no Ou

"Not necessary"

Only the stars were shining in the sky. Today is the Crescent Moon - the day when the power of the family at night is most diminished.

I haven't met anyone since, and my journey continued smoothly. The road is also gradually turning into something clear, and we will probably reach the city in a few days.

It gets harder to do hands-on training once you get to the city. No way, you can show off the power of vampires all over town.

Near the oasis. He surrounded the fire and asked me to teach him combat techniques, and Cenri said so after a while of silence in his thoughts.

Cenri says a little quickly to me, not knowingly frowning.

"Misunderstood, don't... it's not like I don't want to tell you. Me and End are... too different. People's technology is commensurate with people. That doesn't necessarily help you."

"... but... the body forms together. Isn't that how we use it together?

"Now it is. But... soon, I'm sure, it won't be."

Say it with some worrying eyes.

It's a good laugh, but it's a careless story, but there's something very suggestive about that look as well.

"We, knights of the end, learn to walk and breathe. First, avoid the attack and thoroughly tap into recieving it. Because we can't take the blow of a vampire who's built up power."

I see... that fits the point.

The more blood and negative energy you accumulate, the more power I gain. There are limits to the growth of human flesh.

Indeed, even if we had the same form of flesh, the priority would fall, even if we did not say that technology was futile if there were inequalities in fundamental physical abilities. If the wound regenerates in an instant, it is also in perspective to receive it.

"Blessings can be used to strengthen physical abilities, but blessings drain. The power of vampires basically doesn't drain. Endurance and physical ability always force us to fight against each other."

"I don't think so very much. Nevila and Ruffrey were very strong."

"............... so we basically aim for a short showdown. Deal damage with preemption, try not to fight from the front"

The words matched my imaginary relationship between a vampire and an end knight.

The story of the End Knight is always the story of hunting monsters. It doesn't have to be a squarely grand fight like a duel.

I understand that I do not possess the fighting skills of a centipede.

But still, that doesn't explain why I don't have to know about their fight.

"Vampires of truth fight like beasts. They are not tied to people's reason. I'm sure the end mutates... and you'll find out if you become a vampire,"

That being said, he gently paid off the dust on his clothes and the centipede rose.

Sleek skinny is wrapped in white toned clothing, well suited to silver hair, paired with a silver sword casually strapped to the waist, and the Saint Knight of Agathon himself.

He wasn't tall and fleshy enough, but he had an elegance in his position that he couldn't hide even in dirty conditions on a long journey.

As appealing as you want to hit your neck muscle right now.

Cenri pulls the sword out of her hips in some graceful motion. A beautiful sword made of holy silver. At first glance, it also looks like a work of art, but I have confirmed several times that she is using it to slaughter warcraft.

With the sword in front of him, Cenri said from beyond the blade.

"But... just a little, I'll deal with you. Sure, your concern is the best thing. Knowing how to fight the End Knight also increases the likelihood that the end will survive"

Exactly. He knew what I meant by my words.

I get up, too. I wasn't originally very fit, but my mutated and grown body is about two turns bigger than a centimeter. I hesitate, trying to pull the plume out of my hips. Seeing that, Cenri smiled.

"I don't mind pulling it out. You can come for real. At the end of the day, I can't be hurt. This is... just training. I don't use release-based moves either."

Apparently, the power difference is still apparent. Look at all the fighting on my back. That's what I'm saying, so you don't have to worry.

Pull out "Brad Ruler" and let's see it softly. Make it look good.

Signs of battle make me hot in the back of my head.

Think. My strength is powerful. Swing it down as hard as you can and even a rock will be able to turn it in two.

I don't think I can stand humans very much, but I think I can handle it if I brake when I have to... If you suddenly stop your arm at all costs, your arm may break, but you don't have to worry because it plays.

Cenri doesn't change her complexion one by one, in front of a monster holding a black tin that sucks in the light. Gently evenen your feet and narrow your eyes.

"I'm coming."

"Come."

First of all - a small hand check.

Kick the ground hard, pull your strength from the diagonal sky, and wave down the bamboo.

Cenri said to dodge and recieve. Then all you have to do is strike a blow with force that you just can't recieve.

She's strong. I'm stronger than I am, but I feel like I'm looking too sweet at everything.

The End Knight threat is its immense blessing. I haven't come up with a technique for responding to a release attack yet, but without it, I'm sure I can eat it down.

In order not to hurt me, Senri is not wearing any blessing armor on her body, unlike during the war.

Cenri avoided the blade, which slashed and swung down the wind, without taking only one step back.

It should have been pretty fast, but totally... cut off. Does this mean you don't even have to take it?

Senri blamed me for quickly returning to him. [M]

"End...... I told you to give it your all"

"Uh... oh, yeah"

"I know your humanity. But if you don't give me everything, it doesn't make sense."

Even if they say that... the centipede hasn't given it all.

I use a real murder weapon. In case a miracle happens and I kill Cenri, how am I supposed to live?

Sure, the blow isn't all we have right now.

I remember the first time I fought the Warcraft on Lord's orders. If I wanted to, I could wave down my flesh while destroying it. [M] It's an unbearable blow to the tough flesh of a vampire. If it was just a sword you received, you might be able to amputate every weapon.

You felt lost, Cenri sighs deeply.

And in front of my confused eyes, I said, gently shifting my collar and exposing my white neck.

"... ok. End... if you can take me down, you can bite my neck"

Your gaze nails to a clear white neck muscle.

Always a faint heart beating hard. Soon your breathing gets rough and the heat in the back of your brain increases.

Still, it was the first time I bit her in the neck and breathed blood. Only once.

It was also pleasant to get blood from my fingers. But burying your face around your neck and inhaling that blood directly is not comparable to that. The feeling of hair hitting my cheeks and its smooth skin feeling on my lips are all intensely imprinted on my head.

She told me not to be patient, but her blood is precious. The manufacturing speed won't be that fast either. Even though I was just fatigued on a long journey, I couldn't ask for it so many times.

"Then do something stupid..."

This is just training. To my words, Cenri glanced at her neck with her index finger. Some luscious trick.

"You want to bite, don't you? Vampires, young and old, all tend to... prefer, bite their necks. When they capture their prey, they restrain their bodies all the time and take their time to breathe blood. …………… End, my eyes are running bloody"

Nice suggestion. That also runs blood. I want to bite. If you don't want to bite, I want to bite.

Even though, there are no vampires who can't shake their minds because they are invited by superb prey.

Do a tongue twitch. There is a feeling of being rolled in the palm of my hand, but there is also strength caged in the hand holding the jaw.

Wouldn't Cenri lick me too much?

I open my eyes and take a big, deep breath to calm myself high.

"Maybe you get bit in the neck, you're a habit?

To my provocation, Cenri didn't move a single eyebrow, just a small grin.

"It is, maybe. End, come."

I'll make you regret seducing harmless me.

Assemble it, scratch just a little bit on its neck muscle with your fangs, and I'll take a long time to taste its blood.

When I gave myself up to impulse and kicked the ground with all my might, I hit the centipede like a shell.

§

Fast. No, not fast - is it good?

He waved almost as hard as he could, and it was as if he had not returned a response. The centipede is really right in front of us. The more I reach out, the more I'll be in front of you, but my blow will shake empty.

"That's a vampire... powerful... it's been a long time since I've fought"

A whispering voice crippled my ear. The sweet fragrance drifted from the hair punctuated the nostrils. I'm asking you to attack me.

I wield an impulse, but it doesn't hit me as if I'm slashing even in illusions.

Cenli's footing was minimal, but streamlined as if flowing. At that moment, I was struck by the illusion that I was dancing.

Too, too different. Is this the 'end knight' of the second degree? The battle against the Lord was confirmed in the distance, but this time the weight of its name is actually conveyed in relative terms.

There was no despair. It just gets hot in my head.

Cenri's gaze was completely following my movements that were too intense to be controlled by myself.

This time should be my time. But I can't reach it.

Lord said he needed to be at least a vampire to fight the End Knight. Vampires have powerful special abilities.

It's the ability to transform into wolves, bats, and fog. I don't know exactly how far I can go, but I do lack the strength.

Are you really winning with physical ability or endurance, or are you half incredible in a flirting state?

Occasionally there was a cool noise. The sound of my sword colliding with Cenri's. [M]

I have no response at all. It's really a moment of contact. Perhaps that's taking the blow away. It was a terrible skill.

An impulse for violence is whispering to me to put more power into it. I'm whispering to ravage it.

I defied it and took a step back. Even if you keep waving the violin, you'll never hit it. She still has room.

Think. If I have strengths that don't belong to vampires in general, it's nothing more than how much control I can have over my impulses.

Cenri's eyes are opened. I made a choice in the moment.

He grinned and stepped to the ground with all his might.

This is it. This is what vampires can do.

The ground rocks heavily. Slight disturbance in the position of the centers. I don't miss that gap, and I do my best to swing it down. [M]

A tall metal sound echoes. My first strong response came back.

And I opened my eyes to an unexpected sight.

Cenri was holding my sword with both hands to prevent a blow to my chest. The meshing blade is antagonistic, even though he swung it down with all his abilities as a vampire.

Across the blade, the gaze and gaze meet from close range. Senri tells me to stare at him with all his strength. [M]

"End... you are... strong. I was a little surprised."

"Weren't vampires more powerful?

"I am now strengthening my physical abilities with blessings"

Now...? So you're saying it wasn't fortified until earlier?

No, I don't care about that. I had no intention of losing to Cenri with pure force.

"Listen, I don't"

"You have one hand, I have both hands."

Take that word, almost reflexively, and grab it by the centipede with your empty left hand. But you expected that, and by then the centipede was a few meters away.

Xu loses resistance and his body swims heavily. Cenri watched, not doing anything, as she stood.

Cenri hasn't messed up one breath yet. If this is a real fight, I could be dead a hundred times.

It was a terrible humiliation. You have to suck that blood at all costs to clear up your depression. Vampire disqualification, such as being invited out of hand.

My eyes must have been giddy.

However, under my gaze, Cenri lays her sword on the sheath and leaves her neck small, without any particular fear.

"Do you want to chase me?

"Shh!

Throw out the violin and kick the ground with all your might. The body moves forward with explosive momentum through the air.

But at that time, Cenri was dozens of meters ahead. That was an incredible rate even for me with extraneous leg power.

If you gaze, you feel a strong blessing from both of those legs. I see... can you also enhance some parts?

That's probably how you're saving positive energy by controlling it.

But endurance should be above me. Cenri said so herself.

Wave your hands wide and run like a beast. Cenri slips away from it.

Around the oasis, just obsessed with chasing prey.

The wind strokes my cheek. The beast that was coming for water screams. But no matter how much force you put into it, the distance doesn't shrink.

You're antagonizing speed - damn, if today wasn't the crescent moon, I would have given you more speed.

I heard there was a difficulty with endurance, but the speed of the centimeter showed no signs of falling. When I looked at the centipede running, she wasn't running. Smooth travel is accompanied by little foot movement.

Physical fatigue would be irresistible with that. I'm not tired, I'm not breathing, so I can't breathe, but Cenri looks just as cool.

I don't know how, but does that also have to do with blessings?

I don't use release-based moves, Cenri said. How long does that move hold?

No fatigue, but I have a time limit. It's dawn. There's a chance that the centipede's blood will run out along the way.

No. You can never win if you do it normally.

I jumped a few metres big. Keep landing, almost unconscious, crawl on all fours and run.

It was a surprise behavior myself. My instincts as a vampire just told me to do that.

In common sense, crawling on all fours should slow down the speed of travel. But incredibly, the distance from the centimeter shrinks. The centipede facing back opens his eyes and stops.

Have you noticed? The moment I tried to kick the ground wide with my hind legs and push down Cenri's body, Cenri flew.

"... what?

Not a metaphor, Cenri was flying in the sky. He didn't jump like me, he stays in the sky and stands still.

Blessings were gathering on its back, shaping the wings of light.... Anything.

"Is that so!?

"Release-based moves are moves that convert blessings into the energy of destruction and release them." Light Wings "is not an emission technique."

How... cowardly. You're releasing it.

I can see a centipede floating about ten meters above me.

"Real vampires can fly, too"

Damn. Don't you want me to bite you so bad? Wouldn't it be nice if it made you feel better?

But I haven't given up yet. I can't turn into a bat, so the sky can't fly. [M]

Big help to the half-yaked mood and kick the ground with force.

The body floats through the universe and reaches the centimeter position. But even if you're physically capable, you just can't move in the air.

As she jumped up to a close distance that she couldn't reach, Cenri held her mouth down and told me like she was frightened.

"Scared... so much, you want to suck blood?

"... I haven't cut it yet, just a little bit!

Centrifuges descend diagonally. It lands on the ground at tremendous speeds and ripples widen.

Apparently, that wing of light isn't just something that floats in the sky.

But perhaps the depletion should be quite severe. The wings of light, confirmed from close quarters, emitted energy as if it were burning. In the first place, if it hadn't been intense, I would have flown all the way to the city with it.

Pulled by gravity, he breaks his knee wide and lands on the ground.

Cenri is one step away. One more step and you should be able to reach it. I crawled on all fours and ran out toward Cenri...

"Ah Endo!?

I accidentally lost my physical strength.

Wear water all over your body. I realized for the first time that Cenri was standing on the surface of the oasis.

In the water, I get up in a hurry. But I'm fluttered like I was just before I fell asleep.

With all my strength, I have little power in my hands and feet, and I can only walk as far as I can.

I can see the centipede stroking down my chest when I get up.

"properly, calm down"

"Sen, Li... That's just not right"

Flowing water is a weakness of vampires. I haven't heard you poke that.

Isn't there a way to win? It's cowardly. You should offer your neck as a penalty.

It's okay, it's just a little sucking...

Senri spoke mercilessly to me, fluttering but making every effort to raise her voice of protest.

"Yes. The End Knight is... sloppy"

"Oh no..."

exhausted and fall into the water.

It was definitely getting a little hot. Perhaps just the right thing to chill your head......

The centipede approaches me and looks down at me, sinking in the water like a dead body.

Extend your arms and catch your ankles. Look, I caught you - I just want to do something like that, but I can't help myself.

I had a grudge. I looked up at him, and Senri said with a serious look.

"Training is over. End... I'll just tell you one thing. If you run into an End Knight, don't think about fighting and do your best to escape. If I were caught, don't hesitate."
