Kuraki Kyuuden no Shisha no Ou

For vampires with tough flesh, physical abilities, and five senses, there is no such thing as climbing a chopped cliff.

Even if there was little irregularity there, even if it was stuck, it could be climbed by piercing the outstretched nail. The End Knight can fly through the sky, but it won't rival vampires in the sense of secrecy.

No darkness, no cold air, no flame can stop me from walking. Only silver and garlic, running water, can stop a vampire from advancing.

Bear the centipede and climb the cliff. The castle of the Phantom Demon King, seen up close, was extraordinarily huge in comparison to the mansion of Lord, and likewise to the castle of Reinell, which was built in the mountains.

The height and breadth are out of step. Reinell's castle was built using mountain skin, but this Demon King's castle is built on a cliff.

Unexpectedly opens his eyes. The walls seem to be built with stone stacks, but I have no idea how long it would take to build such a huge building. Some of them are crumbling, but that's interesting again.

There was not a single light around, and it looked desolate. The nearest city - [Descend] said it's also used for tourism, but I guess it's almost abandoned.

Negative signs were approaching from all directions. It seems that some of them have already entered the castle, and I feel some inside. There are too many signs to know how many there are, but the quantity is no big deal anyway. It can be easily slaughtered by me or Cenri.

A few bone men appear, trying to climb a chopped cliff. I used a "latent shadow" with my centipede on my back and jumped on the stone wall surrounding the castle.

There was no sound. The pebbles roll and fall to the ground, but there's no way the bone people noticed. Their five senses aren't dull either, but they can't compare to vampires.

A little shame, but lower the centipede, lower yourself and explore what's going on down there. The bone men did not even consult anything, but entered the castle making a faint noise of crouching armor.

Boneman, who emerges from another direction, also enters through the main gate in an equally wasteless motion. It's like watching the river water flow.

I was just watching things around until earlier...

Cenri doesn't speak up. He answers my questions.

"I have a conductor. Perhaps there is a link"

"Link......?

"The Necromancer can make connections to the undead he creates. Through it, the undead communicate their will"

I see... I did think it was a remarkable move. One order won't.

I don't remember feeling anything like that when I was Lord's undead, but I was a special undead, so it's not helpful.

So I realized the key thing.

"Wait a minute... you mean maybe I found out about knocking that one out?

"Possible"

"... tell me first"

"? I can't share my sight, so I haven't found out my face"

Cenri says in a strange voice with her eyes round.

Apparently, the word "see how" doesn't exist in the end knight's dictionary, or it's a lot less priority. That's the Knights of Attack. I'm sure if we can swim enough, we'll just barge in and wipe them all out with a leading must-win.

Say as Cenri adds.

"But perhaps they changed their behavior not because End defeated some troops...... I think"

... It's hard to judge.

Cenri said earlier that the signs in the castle had disappeared. Surely that could have triggered it.

Assuming everyone who was waiting because the individuals who entered the castle disappeared started acting - why did they disappear? I can also think of a pattern that says he's dead, or found a 'crystal of the night' in the castle. If we suppress the negative forces unleashed by the undead with that, it would look as if it had disappeared from the centipede that was exploring the signs of the undead.

But there is still a way to find it after suppressing the dissipation of negative forces. The only thing I can erase with that is the signs. My nose cannot be misled. [M]

And that's where I got lost. To the dog...... should it be?

……

The vampire's sense of smell is sharp, but that goes further up when it changes to a dog. You should be a dog if you want to be full.

But when I become a dog, I lose my clothes again. When I grow up, I can break my clothes. When you're in human form, you'll be naked, and wearing clothes sucks.

Cenri was watching me in silence. She'll probably want to go after the bone people soon, but she'll always wait patiently for me to think.

Bones continue to break into the castle even as they do this. I wish I could at least transform into a human form like Oliver......

And there came a heavenly revelation upon my head. There's no clapping, but it's worth a try.

"Cenri, look"

When I was in the mood, I injected blood into it and used my ability to canine it.

As usual, you can hear creepy noises in your ears that change your calf and skeleton.

But it's only over my head that I pour my strength into. I remember the control of the power of blood. If you can gain strength and weakness, if you can increase some of your playback capabilities by concentrating, you can also limit the scope.

The change ended smoothly as usual.

Look down. I have hands, legs. Keep your clothes on, too. It's not even torn.

Confirm your face. The back of my head is blocked. The protruding nose clearly captured the smell of the dead. Wider than usual horizons.

I picked up sunglasses that fell to the ground. Unfortunately, I can't put it on because of the ears that grew over my head, so it's in my pocket.

I got it - I got it. Change only part of the flesh. I need a knack, but I could do it once, so I should be able to do it again.

If this happens, I can use people's strengths to track them while still having dog strengths. I gave Cenri a good laugh. My head hurts because of the dog and my breath is hazy and my tongue is out.

"Cenri, please wait, let's track you down"

"The End… the… is always amazed at what you do"

The cheeks of the calm and settled centipede always caught on. My lips are shaking.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Cenri said a little sorry as she stepped back.

"But I'm so scared... I want you to go back"

I can pull my tongue unintentionally into the extra shock. I can't believe I was afraid of Cenri who was so resolutely fighting all kinds of monsters...

I'm extra shocked by Cenri's sorry look.

"Could I be now... black?

"End, can you stay if my head becomes a dog without any foretaste?

Rarely says Cenri quickly. It was a natural story.

If Cenri's head suddenly became a dog, I would feel so much sadder than my whole body would be a dog.

I see...... looks. That was a blind spot. Anyway, I can't see my face, and even if I peek in the mirror, I'm a lower vampire, so it's translucent.

But I wonder how unbalanced it looks because the centipede is that far. I thought it was a good idea because...

I asked with slight expectations. [M]

"............... will you give me blood?

"End...... don't get on with it"

A cold voice strikes my ear. And so I moved my nose.

Look down at the main entrance. Smell it... Smell it. This is...

"It smells like a living... Cenri, there's a human inside!

I smell excitement. I guess Cenri didn't notice because he was paying attention to the undead. I jumped off the wall. [M] Simultaneously inject blood forces and dilate the jaw.

I know. I know how to use my powers. No matter how much I studied witchcraft, I didn't quite get it, but this power is instinctive.

At the same time as I jumped, I opened my jaw to the boner's head, which I was about to enter through the main entrance.

The fangs chew through the skull every helm. The unspeakable smell of metal spreads all over your mouth and throws up. At that time, the other boners were in good hands, but even if they did, there was no reason for just a boner to be against me.

There were no mutated individuals. Take the spear and destroy the bone men who take the defensive setup in one swing. So the centipede finally jumped.

Drop the spear. It's quite a business, and the reach is charming, but my bamboo is even more powerful, and it's not like swinging indoors.

When I suppressed the power of my blood, I restored it to the size of my head.

"Let's go"

"End, sometimes I can't keep up with you. Go back."

"I smell people. I don't smell blood, but you better hurry."

"End...... Back to square one"

"It could be dangerous, so I'll go first. Follow me. Wow."

"End......"

I just miss the lack of a shaking tail.

Is it because it is a tourist destination, in entering the castle, the curse seemed unaffected?

Most traps won't work for me. [M] Neither poison nor magic works, and they have the ability to regenerate. I don't think there's a trap in the castle that's also used for sightseeing in the first place - but when I was ready, I ran out into the castle.

§

The inside of the castle was as desolate as it was outside. The exterior is more splendid than the mansion on the road, but there is no conditioning inside, there is not even a light, and the ceiling is stretched with a huge spider's nest. I feel unspeakable sadness because of the splendid workmanship.

Some vampires say they make castles. If I survive for a long time, maybe I'll have a castle... which would be difficult by regular means, but I don't think it's possible if I crawl the net of the law. If I had taken all the property of the destroyed mafia, I would have built about a small castle.

The air was damp and cold, but I didn't feel the cold. I don't even seem to feel the centipede.

Moving my nose, my sense of smell can smell incredible now. Albatos captured my place more than a few hundred kilometers away from the smell, and this feeling should no longer be called a sense of smell, but of paranormal.

I can see the smell in chronological order. I can smell the dead, I can smell the living. I follow it without stopping. [M]

I met a bunch of bone men there, but I destroy them in a single armored sleeve. Cenri's thick muscles were crossed even in the dark. Destroy only the contents of a bunch of bone men, Cenri says.

"End...... Back to square one"

Move your ears tingly. There's a sound. The sound of a sword trident. A voice. I can hear a human voice, exhale.

The unpretentious pleasure hurts behind my head. My instincts are delighted to demonstrate vampire abilities. That was a dangerous feeling.

"This smell - underground."

"End......"
