Kuraki Kyuuden no Shisha no Ou

Episode IV: Town Against the Immortal

The castle of The Phantom Demon King. That seems to exist at the top of the mountain, like Reinell's castle.

Most demon kings have many enemies. Humans, of course, are rarely hostile to other demon kings.

If you become the devil king of the abominable undead, all living and living should turn to your enemies. It must have been natural to build a castle on a mountain so easy for such a demon king to protect. It's gone.

The Phantom Demon King was destroyed by the Knights of the End at the time, and only a sturdy castle was left behind.

The Knights of the End tried to destroy the castle, but at the time, it seems that the nobility who supported the Knights of the End's Crusade for the Demon King stopped it.

The area around the castle at the time was the dominion of demons, and I guess the sturdy castle that already existed was too spared.

In fact, the aristocrats of the time made effective use of the castle of the 'Phantom Demon King' and calmed the surrounding area to interest the country. And then the inconvenient castle was abandoned, but never dared to be destroyed. This is why the castle of The Phantom Demon King is still shaped hundreds of years later.

Today, that castle, which became an ancient castle, is known in that country as a symbol of the triumph of mankind.

I love traveling. I wouldn't eat a shoulder watermark, even if I didn't find anything.

A few days to carry Cenri, we arrived in a nearby town without a thing.

In the meantime, we were never suspected. Apparently, until a few hundred years ago, this country was at the forefront. It is now known as a fairly safe country.

They put him in a carry case, and he goes into town. Grow up in a bag without any sunlight.

Power falls out at once. It plugged into running water.

There was a sound of water flow. As loud as it sounds, the vampire control in this town must be adequate.

Vampire control is provided by running water in most towns, but the extent of it depends on the town. For example, Lomburg's countermeasures, which had been exposed to Reinell's onslaught, were surrounded by deep moats and almost perfect. But the feeling of this town is also top notch in the town I came into.

Peaceful towns don't have vampire control, but they're different here.

"The purpose is…… tourism"

"You've come to see the castle too... a lot lately. You got something for me?

There was a young man's voice. Damn, you could have taken my gaze if I had been on your head...

Apparently, the solo journey of a luxurious woman like Cenri is remarkable. I was often called out for something on my journey. I don't mind not being alarmed, but I don't feel good as a dog owner.

Conversely, when I am above my head, Senri becomes a maiden with a dog on her head from a maiden of Reishi, so all her gaze comes this way. Sometimes you can feed me if you shake my love.

But I'm powerless now. I won't be able to get my powers back for long. I can't move one tail.

I have visited various towns so far, but this is the first time I have been screened for entry on water. Let's just say that's where the Undead Demon King was. Boneman shouldn't be bad at running water, but he must have dug the waterway in a way that feels like we should also keep vampire control.

"I'm in a hurry..."

Senri cuts the conversation off when she sees me getting tired of it.

At the same time as my strength returned, I protested to get my carry bag out with my tail peppered and tapped quickly.

§

Cenri walked around town with me in her carry case for a long time. This has never happened before.

She's sweet. He always thought of me the best, and it was customary to find an inn that could block the light as soon as I got to town.

The power is back, but for some reason I'm not feeling well today. Occasionally the smell of garlic comes in and I applaud it.

Garlic is a natural enemy of vampires. When I put it in my body, it sucks, but I don't feel too good just because it stinks. Besides, there seems to be a lot of rivers in town.

In the end, Cenri stopped after more than an hour. I waited patiently.

Hear the voices of the accommodation reservations and be in the room. The shaking of the carry case stops and the sound of the curtains closed continues. I kept protesting with my tail the whole time because I was out of hand. [M]

I can hear Cenri from outside the bag.

"Baron...... I can't kick out this room, the sun"

"Keewoon."

"No... the inns I've been looking for for a while, they all had thin curtains. This town - [Descend] is almost perfect for vampire control"

"Ki-yu......"

What a terrible town you've come to. I jumped out of the carriage case. [M]

Your body hits the bright sunlight coming in through the white curtain gap and hides in the shadow of your bed. Cenri rushed to remove her coat from her luggage and put it on me.

"Keewoon."

The room was worse than I've ever seen.

The sunlight coming in from the thin curtains was also a poisonous level for me as a lower vampire. But that's not the only problem.

I was breaking it with one eye. [M]

"There are too many crosses in this room, Cenri... the cross is everywhere"

The design of the cross is applied to such an extent that it is not noticed there in the decoration. Besides, it's a cross that's extremely close to vampire weakness.

One of the weaknesses of vampires is the cross, but not all crosses are bad. Ratio matters. So it's okay to stumble across town and find something that's crossed, but the subtle design of the cross in this room was precisely poking at my weakness.

A cross is not like killing a vampire just because there is one, nor is it like losing power. But if it's nearby, I feel a little worse, and I know the troubles of a silver cross sword well when I fought Kainushi.

"Why did you make this inn..."

Senri says to me, shivering and complaining under my coat.

"I'm sorry. But this is what every inn looked like. It was also applied to the gate, and I couldn't get it out."

"!? Is this city also a grudge against vampires!?

"Maybe, there is. No, it seems like it used to be. A phenomenon that is frequently seen in cities that were fighting the undead. The city's famous products are garlic and silver. The funeral is cremated on water. There are mountains and rivers all over town."

the lowest. Was it supposed to be hundreds of years ago that this country was fighting the undead, but has it taken root as a culture?

It would have been harder on me if I had been a true vampire. [M] It's terrible......

I had a little anxiety and was afraid to confirm. [M]

"No way......... is the sun always out or something?

"... there is no such city"

Apparently the worst was avoided. I was ready to de-dog. [M]

My body tingles. But the pain would be alleviated if the force of the blood were to cover the surface of the body. It's a pain I don't want to taste for an extra long time, but it's not an unbearable level. The cross keeps the body trembling, but it can't stand it either.

I flipped my luggage with my trembling hands and put on my clothes.

"End, don't push yourself too hard. The castle is not all over town. You just have to leave right away."

I don't know what Cenri says, but I haven't enjoyed the city yet.

You won't be able to walk away with a vampire. But if you're still a lower vampire, you can handle it. The smell of garlic should be cut somewhat if you wear a mask.

I rolled over on my back and appealed to Cenri.

"Cenri, let's go to the bathroom. I need a little blood."

I feel like getting blood while holding Cenri's body. If you replenish it with more force, you'll be able to stand to go outside.

Senri cut and threw away my weak demands with little hesitation.

"............... there are windows in the bathroom too. So I can't. Plus, it looks like there's silver everywhere, so be careful."
