Kuraki Kyuuden no Shisha no Ou

Lesson 1: Exploration

Using the power of The Latent Shadow makes finding me at night limitless difficult. This ability to eliminate signs, odors and sounds achieves an extremely high degree of secrecy.

If anyone saw me running, they'd think it was an illusion.

He was also convinced of the saying that True Vampire, the true ancestor, was much more terrifying than he who had the pre-mutation power to become a vampire repeatedly with a rank mutation.

Avoid the boulevard, avoid the street lights and run through the town at night.

In the meantime, there was no one to pay attention to here. There's no tracking. My five senses at night are sharp. I also have a sense that my ability to use it to some extent now, which was surplus at first.

When we reached a lonely inn, we kicked the ground hard and landed flutterly in the window that was open.

There was only one lamp in the room, and it was dim. If it wasn't for the sun, it wouldn't hurt me, but I'm sure you're taking into account my acute eyesight.

"I knew it wouldn't work."

"Yes......... are you hurt?

It was Cenri waiting in the room. The beauty that makes you feel cold somewhere hasn't changed anything since we first met.

Apparently, Dada's glasses are off. When I got up, I let him circle around.

"As you can see. Look, you don't even have a hole, do you? I didn't find out."

".................. Good"

The look on Cenri's face didn't change, but I can see he breathed relief from that heartbeat.

I was intact. Their weapons weren't silver, so if they were wearing my flesh, they wouldn't have done any damage, but they don't even actually have holes in them.

The bullets flew in, too, but they dodged everything. This is a habit.

The flesh regenerates, but not the clothes. That was a big plain problem for me.

Every time you get burned, torn or transformed, you get naked. If I were human, I wouldn't be able to afford to think about clothes because I would die if I were torn or burned, but I'm not, and I don't know - there are plenty of opportunities for that. Using 'latent shadow' can make your body black, but that's not a substitute for clothes.

But if you pay attention, you can largely avoid bullets, arrows, knives, and slaughter. I can even grab it with my hands in some cases. There's nothing you can do about transformation, but you don't have to be a dog to control most of your opponents.

At first, he was often slashed, and sometimes he was given blood back, but after crushing some of the mafias, he is now largely dodgable.

But... Sable was different. At the end of the day, Sable left no clothes when he transformed into a bat and ran away.

There is a way. Cenri didn't seem to know how, and Albatos was completely naked. And I don't see it now, but the vampire curse is really deep down.

The fierce battle with the Demon King Reinell gave me a variety of things.

There were both good and bad things, but most importantly - the presence of those who follow me.

King of Piles. The vampire demon king's family, Sable, was looking for an outside vampire. Besides, he even had a way to rule me.

This is a fact that cannot be seen.

We were aiming for the fortress city of Lomburg, but one of the reasons for this was to hide ourselves from the Knights of the End by fleeing human dominion.

It was small, but there was also a 'crystal of the night', and it wasn't supposed to be impossible. If there was no "Crystal of the Night," there could be no problem if there were no trackers other than the Knights of the End. But everything is already a pointless imagination.

Cenri said he wasn't finished with the sable. Running out of human habitat with an outside tracker is too risky.

"King of Piles" sounds like a mighty demon king. How powerful is it, so powerful that it has not been destroyed at the hands of the Knights of the End, not even by vampires?

There are countless warcraft in the subdivision, the scale of which, he says, cannot be compared to that of Reinell the Demon King.

I saw Sable and understood that he was a vampire at a glance. That evil sign is probably the same thing the Knights of the End use to discern us.

The key item is' Crystal of the Night '. Later, Cenri.

Without Cenri and the "Crystal of the Night," there will be no time for me to be at peace.

In the first place, I never meant to live in nature the whole time. [M] I was going back to town when most of it got cold.

Because in nature, the nutrients of the centipede won't be enough, and the burden is enormous. Besides, I want to tour the town.

Bram smashed the whole plan to the cannibal. Oh, why didn't I take off the crystal during the duel... I want to punch myself in the face then.

Tell me to sit on the bed in a whispering voice. [M]

View the large carry case on the side. I can only be human for a few hours. [M]

"End, after all, you better run. This life is absolutely impossible."

"I know. I know, Cenri. It's riskier than this. No mafia, those guys are useless. Bandits, too. But you can't just run away. That option has no future."

Cenri is right.

It's not hard to defeat humans, but the information is spreading. If it spreads any further, there will definitely be people out there who will realize who I am. No matter how much, it's unnatural for a single human being to crush several tissues. It's not fiction.

And if you find out who you are, it doesn't have to be easy or impossible to kill a vampire.

It looks peaceful at first sight, but the situation is persecuting.

Turns out "Crystal of the Night" is not available by normal means. It would be useless to ask a merchant because the mafia doesn't even know his name.

If it's possible, it must be a vampire expert.

"Vampire Hunter" like Kainushi, or Knights of the End. Or - it's a hack.

If you were a carcass hack dealing with Horos Carmen, if you're that guy who even procured giant evil dragon fangs, you still have eyes. No, the crystals Lord had could even have been procured by that man.

But I don't know where he is. I'm reasonably capable of fighting, but I don't have the ability to look for distant people. I can't use magic, and I still don't have the power to turn my body into a bat.

The centipede gently holds my hand from the top of my hand. Thoughts calm down just a little bit to a warm, soft feeling.

My fangs shudder, but I just got blood yesterday. You have to be patient.

In other words, even immediately after I received it, my fangs would hurt if I could touch it, so if I didn't put up with it, the centipede would become anemic. Sometimes I'm so thirsty because Cenri's blood tastes good, but maybe it's growing season.

"End, you shouldn't think too much of it. You're doing great."

"............... oh, I'm fine. The killing impulse is not getting stronger. I'm getting used to it. It's as good as no pain."

"You are... very, very strong"

Resistance to the status quo, which can't be helped, has already been done in life.

Not without haste, but it wouldn't be an extra clever act to consume energy senselessly. In particular, hitting the centipede is the most avoidable course of action.

Fortunately, only time to think is still running out. Think about it during the day while you're having it carried to Cenri. The path to survival with Cenri.

Cenri says.

"But when you mutate into a vampire, your impulse should also be stronger"

"Oh...... thanks. I'll be careful."

I'm a lot stronger than I was when I was just in my neck, but the sight of Cenri looking at me still has the same sentiment to take this one into account.

I know people's emotions by smell and heartbeat. [M] Being a superior monster in front of me and not having any fear at all - even if Cenri was still overwhelmingly stronger - is an amazing thing. That's why only she must not betray me for taking sides from the beginning.

It's a secret to Cenri, but I've already made predictions about why I won't mutate into a vampire forever.

And if I'm right about that imagination, I won't be a vampire forever if I stay like this.

But that's okay. If you don't need strength to survive, you don't need strength.

Sure, vampires are powerful, but lower vampire bodies aren't bad either. There are few weaknesses in the current state, and even a little can walk in the sun.

Because I love the sun, my remorse for the sun has not yet been abandoned. And I'd like to walk in the sun with Cenri again if I could... I'm scared and I haven't been able to try it, but should I give him an umbrella?

Much has passed since Ephe's attack, but there was still no next strike. I don't think that horrible hero would be satisfied with a single attack, so that would mean he was pretty much forced.

And even if the next shot comes, it's probably no problem if it's on the same level as that one.

If I put my hand on my heart, I can instinctively understand that my soul continues to fall at this moment.

I'm a deeper, more obnoxious monster than I was back then.

The force becomes stronger, the regenerative force is strengthened, manipulates the power of the blood, and has countless powers of alienation. To such a monster.

The centipede sitting next to me accidentally turns forward.

Shaped eyebrows. Purple eyes reminiscent of an amethyst. Sarah's hair. The glow of life reminiscent of the light of the moon. Cenri opened her lips with a rare hesitation.

"End............ unlikely, but only one thing for me, I have an idea"
