Lesson 23: Erosion •

The Knights of the End Class III knight, Del Gordon, had closed his eyes in the cell and had a glimpse of the surrounding situation.

Almost a month had already elapsed since I was detained. In the meantime, Dell received the gaze of ridicule in an act that seemed just plain lame.

All who belong to the Knights of the End are human beings. But the blessings that dwell in you give the End Knight extraordinary power.

"Blessings", which were depleted to their limits when they were connected to the prison, had already recovered. He was severely hurt, and his body, which had only moved a little, was in severe pain, and now he feels no pain.

Few meals were given and their nutritional status sucked, but I have fought without drinking or eating on assignment, and some of the knight of the end moves are moves that use blessings to force my body to move.

The locks connected to both hands and feet appear to be specially made and are unlikely to be destroyed with the power of an ending knight who can pull off iron. But the walls to which it is connected are different.

Now that I have recovered, I can force the lock to pull off, scratch the lattice and escape. The iron balls connected to the legs are intrusive, but enhanced physical ability would not be a major obstacle.

The Reinell army looks sweetly at the End Knight. I didn't get out right away. I pretended to be weak and made a big deal out of it because I was watching the desk.

The army of Demon King Reinell is overwhelming the power of Lomburg.

Lomburg was now in danger of ruin to a mighty being that outnumbered both the power of the individual.

The city still survives because of the power of the exterior walls built over the years. But it is also degraded by repeated raids and won't last long. To save the city, it was necessary to defeat Reinell the Demon King.

Defeat the Demon King Reinell and the Reinell army will be just a herd of beasts. That way even the soldiers stationed in Lomburg can handle it.

I wasn't originally thinking of enemies alone. But I had to try.

Lomburg is the home of Dell.

I didn't have very good memories. Lomburg is a fortified city. Approximately the majority of its inhabitants are those who make war work, and the air in the city is rough.

I don't have a family anymore. No one I once knew would remember Dell, who was picked up by the Knights of the End and left the city.

But still, Lomburg is the land where Dell was born and raised. Some of Dell's battle techniques were once taught by mercenaries in the land.

It's a revelation, Dell thought. Perhaps it is no coincidence that Dell now stops in Lomburg, exposed to the onslaught of the Demon King's Army and at the wind front lights.

Dell has power now. The power that I developed after the fierce battle with my dark family.

My people stopped me. I was also praised by a teacher who took care of Dell all the time.

Power comes with responsibility. Non-intervention in the battle against the Demon King is the code of the Knights of the End. The power of the End Knight is only to fight the Dark Families.

But Dell didn't break. And knowing Dell's strong will, his people also gave up stopping him.

What will the Knights of the End do when they break the code and try to enforce their intervention in the Demon King?

I will not remove it. I won't hold back with strength.

The answer is - look and pretend not to see.

This is Dell's battle. The Knights of the End respect that.

I won't help, but I won't stop. Show me your strength if you let me through. That's what heroes were for.

I don't think it's a terrible response. This is my best.

There is no help. My people have already left Lomburg. If Dell doesn't return, Dell will be treated as missing.

I was just lucky not to be killed, but it was convenient to be a prisoner.

Reinell is a mighty demon king.

Blessings don't work on the tough flesh that even the provided barista bounced back, and it's not like the person Dell's always fighting. It's hard to win even the End Knight if you get bumped from the front. Besides, that difficulty jumps if the opponent becomes a large group.

Being imprisoned in this formation only slightly increased my success rate. If you stand around well, you will also be able to mount an ambush.

Even if Reinell doesn't discuss it, the executive class could be defeated.

It was then that the situation changed.

There was a change in the reaction of the subpeople on Dell's watch. And then it showed up.

It was in the form of a youth.

Signs were contained, but Dell figured it out.

It's in front of me - a family of darkness. An enemy of the Knights of the End, a mighty undead, a natural enemy of the living and the living, a vampire.

Seeing how far I've come, I guess Reinell the Demon King invited me in.

I thought it was stupid.

The undead hates all who live, not just men, and sometimes even the same undead.

Being a vampire can be quite clever and less like attacking a living person with emotions, but the level of danger is not the ratio until then.

But at the same time, that's never a bad story for Dell.

If the undead were to belong, Demon King Reinell would be the enemy of the Knights of the End.

If you report it, you will destroy Reinell, the Demon King, to the prestige of the Knights of the End. It's also a demonstration to keep the powerful undead from making allies.

The army was confused when they brought in a foreign object called the undead.

Just as the undead strikes the living, the living are the ones who repel the undead from their instincts. Getting used to the signs of death takes time.

Anxiety and awe were also propagating on the lookout and getting stronger every day. There will be no further opportunity to escape.

The decision is tomorrow morning, the vampire can't move. And it's the moment the watch switches.

When I was lurking my breath and circulating my blessings in my body to restore some condition, something inadvertently cold ran to my spine. Raise your face slightly and invest in your body so that you can break through the restraint at any time. wrap around the armor of blessings that were kept warm around the body.

Instinct was alarming. Signs of strong darkness approach. The ghost (Auga) on the lookout doesn't seem to notice anything.

There is no sound. There is no smell. Only evil signs approach.

It's not magic. This feeling is due to the vampire-specific abilities mutated from Dead Meat Man (Fresh Man).

There was no sound. Three ghosts on guard groan small. His eyes were slightly opened and in an instant he lost his light and fell down.

Dell opened his eyes wide and stood up on both legs. Vampires are monsters, not even compatible end knights can ever be caught off guard.

My body trembles. The samurai trembled.

Red eyes looked at this one like blood, the hallmark of a vampire whose hair took only a little from the shadows. The black-dyed skin returns to normal as if erosion were pulling off.

The appearance was not different from when I saw it before, but the signs of intimidation and darkness I feel are not the same as before.

For a moment, I even forget about the demon king who was the target. It was a monster that absolutely had to be killed, even from a dell with no direct grudge against vampires.

A monster said to Dell, who stares at him with no voice and intent to kill him.

"Kill Reinell. Let me get you out of here, help me out."

§ § §

Too much killing. It was terribly hot. My vision is blunt and bright.

My head was boiling down. Take a big, deep breath and stay calm.

The identity of the fever is probably a vampire instinct. This is why we are making vampires into monsters to be afraid of. I'm still a lower vampire, so instinct shouldn't be that far either, but it was like a flame, as intense as a storm, and it was going to take some time to contain it completely.

I just drank blood but my throat was dry asexually. I realized my mistake.

Incorrect procedure. I should have given Monica a reason to look for Cenri before she sucked on her blood. I would have been a little calmer with Cenri. [M]

It's easy to leave yourself to the urge, but that's the first step toward a monster. By surprise, I was able to kill three ghosts in an instant, a testament to my rapidly increasing power. I will not tolerate any more predictions.

Grip the iron lattice, remove and discard with force. Into a spacious cell.

I came to help you because of it, but the End Knight's gaze was on a killing spree.

Scratchy skinny flesh. Brown willed strong looking eyes. Around his body he wears the armor of blessings, keeping me away. But I would be able to beat this knight with every piece of armor.

My instinct as a vampire is telling me to kill the knight in front of me. But you can't do that. Even if they do, there's no way I'm going to kill him. As long as Cenri believes in me, I have to live up to it.

Before Cenri arrives, I want to help the End Knight and knock out Reinell. I want to knock myself out for blood on the reward.

The End Knight man said nothing. But I stab the nail first.

"Oh, I know the question. Even I really don't want to do this. But enemies are allies, aren't they? Let's kill each other another time. Reinell's strong, I honestly can't handle it on my own. Maybe even you."

I don't want you to be totally on my side. Because that's impossible at all.

That's why we deviate from that spear. This End Knight was captured in a battle with the Reinell army. The target should be Reinell the Demon King.

An iron ball that seems to be getting in the way of that toe. Grab and lift that huge chain. I noticed something serious when I tried to grasp it with both hands.

"Oh, shit... it's a full moon today isn't it"

Failed. We should have waited for the full moon to culminate in strength even if we were to fight back. Usually I would have definitely noticed, but apparently I was more angry than I thought.

I can do everything in my power. The chains seemed specially made, quite sturdy, but still made a small noise of pissilli as I continued to push beyond the limits. A louder noise comes up from my arm than that and dull pain runs, but I don't care. If you twist it out of your mind, the chain makes a dull noise and bounces off.

The End Knight said in a low voice.

"... there must be a key"

"... oh, you're absolutely right. I didn't realize. Damn......"

Instinct tells me to use my powers. It's eroding my thoughts.

I am very expensive now. [M] You may call it frustrating. I feel like sinking in the water for a few years or so.

Find the fishing key bundle and throw it to the End Knight.

Scary. I'm so scared of vampire instincts. I'm so scared that you might not even notice it when it merges.

Now I felt like throwing everything out and running, but I can't do that. I've committed some dangers. The race has already been thrown.

If you run away here, you'll have a habit of running away. That is not the freedom I seek.

The End Knight rises. A flesh forged to a more privileged stature than I was when I became a lower vampire and grew taller.

I should have been in custody for a long time, but I'm not anxious about that position. How dare the Rhinel army take the choice of capturing the Knight of the End. Brave or stupid... if I were in their shoes, I would definitely kill them.

Says the End Knight man.

"I have a weapon"

"It should have been in the treasure trove. You should also look for more decent clothes later"

Whatever I say, it's not good for such a matchy man to move in worn out clothes.

Come on, before nightfall, before the Reinell army realizes the situation, let's just end it.
