Kuraki Kyuuden no Shisha no Ou

"Huh!!

Golden eyes fly around in the dark at high speeds. Cenri intercepted a blow with a sword from a hook claw that struck at a tremendous speed with a ceiling on the floor.

Cenri's sword is not just made of silver. The ingredient of that sword is - blessed holy silver.

Its rare metals, sometimes referred to as holy silver (Mithril), boast a power that transcends just silver against the darkness, and are much harder, and - very easy to convey blessings and magic.

It is a substitute rarely held by anyone but the Knights of the End.

The golden eye opens in amazement. Fly the blow lightly and keep packing the distance.

The blow that hit me from the blind spot had speed on it and weighed more than the first shot, but Cenri's physical abilities are now more enhanced than usual.

"Circulating Light" is a technique that allows blessings to circulate in your body at high speeds, demonstrating more physical abilities than family members of darkness.

"Shh... fuck...!

You detected a power difference in just one blow, Albatos runs to escape.

During the first war, Cenri's abilities were considerably diminished. I had a little bit of a headache because I gave the end too much blood just before, and most importantly, the amount of blessing was greatly reduced.

It is an unparalleled handful for Cenri, who is good at handling special blessings.

The intensity of "light circulation" also depends on the amount of blessing. The centipede now is much stronger than the centipede then.

My body is light. The room was dim, but Cenri had a clear idea of the indoor situation.

By stretching thin, filamentously stretched blessings, the centipede now has another sensation.

Wide area exploration - "Wide yarn". There is no blind spot in Senri Silvis today.

Rotate and bounce the cross sword flying from behind you. A splash flies from a wet sword body, but avoids it with minimal movement.

I can see where the splash hits makes noises and discolors. It's not holy water...... it's poison. It is a substitute that should not work for vampires.

"I hear it's not a strength..."

A depressed voice enters my ear. Even in the meantime, the hand of the attack will not stop.

Expanding the scope of the exploration, it was found that the thin thread was stretched out beyond sight there. A trap.

Kainushi's blow was too light for Cenri today. But if it could be worn with a predatory wound, the poison painted on that sword would erode Cenri's body.

I know how to fight... The End Knight demonstrates comparable physical abilities to the Dark Families by blessing, but the contents remain human. It doesn't work on the undead. The poison works, and the regenerative ability drops a lot compared to vampires. Nor is your health inexhaustible.

But there's no problem. Play the cross sword that will be swung down with a powerful blow. The blade imitating the cross is thin and too brittle. I have not been able to meet with the sword. It's a peaky weapon that could break if we do our best to meet.

And Kainushi understands that, too. Kainushi, who separated himself from the Cross Sword, takes a new weapon out in a flowing motion.

I was just about to chase Kainushi, and from behind, Albatos, who ran through the walls and ceilings, jumped from over the diagonal sky. Cenri punches her tongue and is followed by a response to you.

- Strong.

"Humans hunting... that's a pain in the ass"

But... to this extent, there is no problem.

Pass blessings on the blade. An even more extended blade plunders its flank in an attempt to avoid the blade of light stretched rapidly on the extension line of the sword body so that Albatos turns around.

Albatos' expression distorted him into agony, only for a moment. Twirling rotates through the air and lands on the ground. When the red and black liquid pops, it falls to the floor.

The blade of light is accompanied by physical destructive forces. It's hard to maintain for a long time, but it's a powerful move.

"Light Blade".

It is also a move that is the precursor of Destruction (Photon Deloitte), the Divinity of the Master.

In dilated perception, one of the fudge threads is pinned. Cenri received defenseless arrows of silver flying from all sides, including blind spots.

The thick sound rises continuously, as if pierced even by an iron plate.

Kainushi roared for the first time.

"............... That's Ephe's godson. Monster, huh?"

"I can't believe the arrows... there's no way I'm going through"

Arrows bounced on clothes fortified with blessings roll on the floor. A defensive technique that tends to be underpowered by the Dark Families opponent is no problem if it's about a weapon against humans.

No, in the first place, an attack to the extent of a cross sword might not put one scratch on a blessed centipede.

Kainushi pulls out the gun and fires at an unobtrusive speed.

The centipede used his sword to cut off all the bullets that flew in succession. A silver bullet made into two rolls over the carpet.

"............... Alba, this is troublesome. Battle mode. Go in formation B. An ambush."

"Huh..."

Albatos' eyes opened wide. Its heart beats loudly and its fine arms swell.

Black, bright hair grows all over the body. Thousands of dresses cut off into swollen muscles, and their slices fall off.

There was also a hand to chase. But Cenri retreated one step later.

- Cursed.

"An end knight would know better. Initial ancestor (Ancestor), the unique ability of" King of the Beast (Lucos) "- the Werewolf."

Werewolf. He's the one you have to learn to fight vampires.

Step back. His face is distorted, his skeleton is distorted, and his soul returns to the wild. The transformation from man to wolf was tough no matter how many times I saw it.

"King of the Beast (Lucos)" has existed since its earliest days and is one of the most famous ancestors (Ancestors).

One of the many special abilities that vampires have is the power they call 'werewolving', which transforms them into wolves.

Originally, he only transformed himself into a beast, but his ancestors (Ancestors) were even more capable of... transferring the curse to his' family '.

Whoever is bitten by his ancestors shall be transformed into a powerful werewolf (Warewolf) in absolute obedience.

"King of the Beasts (Lucos)" had countless subordinates.

The body of the original ancestors has already vanished, but the families who inherited its power have spread throughout the world, tormenting many of the knights of the end to this day.

Cenri had also fought several times.

But Cenri retreats one step later to the appearance of finishing the transformation in front of him.

"Not a wolf...... not!?

In the dark, it was the big black dog who was breathing roughly. Obviously not like any werewolf I've ever seen.

The body and face are different, but above all the difference is that there is still definite reason in those eyes.

All werewolves are swallowed by the wildness of the beast at the time of transformation, but Albatos stares at the centipede as if alerted, without any immediate attack.

Kainushi kills his voice and laughs.

"It's pathetic. I thought about further degenerating the werewolf (warewolf) curse as a reference...... he had an idiot. Did you just say you were a dog dog? Alba is the only victim."

"Huh!?

It was like a black wind. I didn't have one footstep. I take the claws that strike me with my sword.

Even when he was human, he boasted of the power of the outside world, but the blow of Albatos, which turned into a beast, was even heavier and faster than that. The only golden eyes, unchanged from human time, are wide open, peering into the centipede from close quarters.

A blade of light shallowly cleaves a body covered in fur, but no blood overflows. Did you play it?

The weakness of werewolves is silver. Unlike undead, pure positive energy does not take damage.

Turn off the blade of light and be slashed with the blade of holy silver. But Albathos cleverly struck a flashing blow with his forefoot nails. Land with four legs and disappear at a whirlwind-like speed.

Breathe deeply and further rotate the blessings circulating in your body. Expand the perceptual range.

As far as I can tell, the power is still up here. But we lose in agility. Werewolves outnumber vampires in pure physical ability. Dogs shouldn't change dramatically either.

Decide with one blow. Kainushi, sitting behind him, said faintly, without standing against the centipede.

"The ancestor who changed Aruba (Ancestor) died. The curse was a failure. The moment I used my power, I destroyed myself. As for the end of those made with the hands of immature Necromancer guides... that's common. And Aruba became just one dog (weardog). Hey, don't you feel sorry for me?

……

Do not lend ears. Albatos with black fur all over his body is dispersed in darkness. Difficult to detect by sight. We need to concentrate...

But Kainushi's voice comes naturally into my ear.

Kainushi sighs small and says as if to do even with the crap.

"Smell, that's right, Ephe's son. What I used was the smell. The werewolf specializes in physical abilities - but she has a sharp sense of smell instead. Much more than just a dog...... yeah. She smells, she smells, she smells."

"I already remember the signs. As long as Alba's alive, no matter where he hides, no matter how far away he leaves, he'll never get away with it. Aruba deeply... resents the vampires who have changed themselves that way. And the curse... let's use it."

It's a nasty ability. It equals the worst for End, who is in a position to escape.

And with so much power... the price should be huge too.

Kainushi walks slowly through the room. Stay alert to Albatos while you concentrate your consciousness.

You can't take a nail blow. If you lose your sword and get pulled down to the ground, the small centipede will be overwhelmingly disadvantaged.

"She's cursed............ during the day, she can't go back to being a person. And............ little by little, but every time she uses her powers, she's getting closer to a complete dog... sooner or later she won't be able to undo it. Isn't she the weak one you're supposed to protect? You're about to turn your sword to the one who's supposed to save you."

"... the curse is lifted"

"I can't break the vampire curse. So I thought the End Knights were purifying the victim... wasn't it?

True theory. Bite your lips and stir yourself up.

But I will not loosen my hand in repelling. It would certainly be a pitiful situation.

But it was another vampire who created Albatos. Not the end.

Stare at Kainushi. I thought it was a strange name... was it Albatos that was kept?

In the first place, if you are gradually consumed by the wild with the use of power, shouldn't you let them fight?

"… you are using it"

"That's right. But rather than using it - it should be said that it is in a cooperative relationship. Hunting vampires is her will. And the weak have to flock."

Kainushi grins deeply and picks up the cross sword that fell to the ground.

So Cenri now noticed.

Too late. Albatos is not attacking me. Even if it's an operation, it's too...

"You thought I was talking pepper to draw your sympathy?

"Huh........................!!

A black thread is stretched out in front of the rushing centipede. It is not silver thread. It's a steel thread, assuming interpersonal.

Then an arrow pours down from all sides, along with the sound of something snarling. That, Cenri ejects blessings and forces her to stop and avoid moving.

The 'sound' of cutting the wind was different from when I first received it unprotectedly. The avoided black arrow was pierced deep into the middle.

Even if you were fortifying yourself with blessings, you cannot remain intact if you receive defenselessness.

It was also, interpersonal - in more detail, an assumption against the Knight of the End. If you're just hunting humans, it's unnecessary power.

Failed. I had unconsciously ruled out that possibility. Because...

"Impossible, no... did you abandon me?

Squeeze.

Combat mode. Formation B. Surprise. Everything, it was a bluff.

Kainushi alone, Cenri is very uncontrollable. We were only able to antagonize each other. The difference in power is obvious.

All I can do is buy time, trying to use all means. If you confront Cenri one-on-one, Kainushi will definitely die.

One of the arrows was stuck in the corner of the room. From there, white smoke flows and slowly fills the room.

In the middle of it, Kainushi frowned and said out of his heart.

"We're vampire hunters. And you deserve to risk your life."
