Kuraki Kyuuden no Shisha no Ou

Episode XV: The Battle of the Old Castle

I also thought when I was hunting the undead with Mr. Lazar and the others, this time the ones who are sending the dead are apparently inclined to bone men. Evil spirits (Reis) also appeared in the second half, but clearly in different numbers.

But none of that would be a major obstacle to me right now. Only evil spirits fight for the first time (except for Lord's ghost, of course, but that would be good as an exception), so I was just a little nervous, but I'm learning about them too.

The various abilities of evil spirits are directed at creatures. It doesn't make sense to me that I'm already dead.

Even in the face of the fierce cry of panicking the creature, there will be no disturbance of the waves in my spirit. And Lord's legacy can tear ghosts apart in real life.

Avoid the first attack of the Giant Bone Man (Huge Skeleton) and run up over the smooth arm bones.

I was already used to ridiculous motor skills as well. The opponent's power is strong, but due to its size, it is not easy to turn around. Even if the giant body is suitable to kick a large number of soldiers, it should be seen from me.

Rotate your body wide and wiggle your teeth with all your strength. The flesh of my arms is smudging and the blade of pitch black conveys a dull feeling.

- Stiff.

Is it tougher than a human bone, the blade that swung down on his neck was halfway stopped.

A giant boner trembles heavily and tries to shake me off.

But it's a waste of resistance. "Pointed nails" are used to sharpen nails, pierce bone bodies, and endure. I can use my powers as if I were already breathing.

And if you can't cut it off once, you just have to slash it multiple times.

Pull through the vibrations with strength and wield the vibrations.

The blade that set the target was firmly placed on the neck of the Giant Bone Man (Huge Skeleton) - where he wore it about half the time earlier.

A dull sound echoes, and a giant skull surrounded by armor dances through the universe.

Jumping off his shoulders, a softening giant collapses. Even if I say bone, does it have the corresponding weight when it comes to that size, the ground shakes violently?

Apparently, the bone man's nucleus is on his head.

I think it would be nice if the nucleus was on my side because I don't have a brain anyway, but maybe I can't move on my body alone, so that's what it is.

The number of bone people who were so massive was a lot lower. There are countless bone man wrecks rolling around on the site of the castle of the demon king of vanity.

I've buried countless of them, too, most of them caught in a huge mess of attacks by giant boners.

Would you have defeated the big man already?

I sighed small and calmed my exalted spirit, turning my attention to my surroundings without alarm.

- To this extent?

I was wondering how powerful the common Necromancer was, but I guess Lord was still a fairly high-ranking operator.

This time there was an alarm on the other side. I didn't know who I was. But if the average Necromancer is to this extent - there's nothing wrong with that.

I can win. I can attack you from here. I can take away knowledge, technology, power. Cenri may also stop defeating the Necromancer.

I frowned at that ridiculous delusion.

"... it's tidal time"

I stayed too long. Among the undead, there was no such thing as a surgeon. Necromancers are cautious, I'm sure they've seen this fight too.

We should leave the city before the main body of the Necromancer arrives before we can put in place measures.

And also, travel with Cenri. This time there is the "Crystal of the Night". I'm not as worried about the chaser as I've been. You have to go to the city where you don't have enough garlic to live in hiding.

It's been working so well lately that I have a bad idea. But don't forget that you're on the hunting side.

"Crystal of the Night" is fascinating to the undead. No matter how many spares there are. But it's too risky for a Necromancer to attack us at all costs. You should think you were lucky this time.

The problem is centipede. With the Necromancer known to be here, will she accept the choice to leave the city?

Cenri is on my side, but I'm pretty sure the essence of it is the End Knight. If she chooses to stay - I have to fight too.

Waving carelessly about such a thing, at some point nothing was moving around me.

The ruins of the castle at night, scattered with scattered bones and weapons, are a hell of a sight.

The carcass of the undead remains essentially on the spot unless it is also purified by the End Knight. According to Mr. Lazar's story, the city mourns the remains of the undead. If you see this sight tomorrow, the people of the city will be surprised.

There will be no more raids tonight. Whatever the quality, after releasing so many large groups, they even put out irreplaceable 'black bones' and 'giant bone men' because mutations take time or require special ingredients. I just don't want to think this is a small hand check.

Let's go back to Cenri.

When I tried to turn my heel back, a sound came down.

"Exactly, 'Ancestor'"

I open my eyes and reflexively stare at them. Explore the surroundings.

I can feel the negative energy of the undead. Even if it wasn't there, I could smell the undead.

But I can't capture why that sign is the only one. Some of them have just fought earlier and are full of signs of undead, but they are not confusing.

Last time, it was. He showed up all of a sudden.

The cold voice praised me, but I wasn't happy at all. This is the worst time.

"Sure we don't have fatigue, but I can't believe we destroyed it so beautifully - I still don't think it's a lower level (Lesser)"

"Hide and peek. Bad taste."

Sable. The demon king of vampires, the family of 'King of Piles'. A vampire who should have been burned by a centipede trying to rule me.

Again... were you alive? I don't know what I'm talking about, but the snubbing of the undead is unusual.

On the road, Cenri had heard the information.

"King of Piles" seems to be the enemy of the Knights of the End. He is one of the most fearful demon kings in the world, with countless dark armies and numerous former demon kings under his umbrella.

The power of the Demon King can be seen from the fact that an absolute hero, the Knights of the End, exists and still retains his power. Cenri says the struggle between the Knights of the End and their kings has been long and has yet to be settled.

The power of the End Knight is something the dead cannot resist. Even powerful vampires shouldn't be opponents if they fight from the front, but they somehow know why they can't decide to fight.

The Knights of the End are vulnerable to the living army. As the Tertiary Knight, Del Gordon, was captured by Demon King Reinell, the extreme story is that if you can put together a few demons of that class, you can also fight the Knights of the End.

Various thoughts pass through the back of your brain in an instant.

Sable is strong. First of all, the number of mutations is different from mine. I can use the special abilities of vampires that I still can't use, and I probably have a lot of combat experience.

Cenri shot and leaked. It is quite unlikely that I will be able to kill him. It is genuine.

My heart squeaks hard as it rolls. Cold heat runs all over your body.

But Sable is the enemy. He planted blood on me and tried to rule. I don't feel comfortable, but I have to end it.

I don't know how or why it's now, but it's too much trouble. Is it my personality that I feel sorry for not putting in the cross spear, which is good for Reinell?

It is not the ability of vampires to be vigilant. This sign is hidden.

Sable is a vampire who has been turned into a king of piles, not the 'Initial Ancestor'. I mean, you shouldn't have the capability of a 'corpse ghost' or a 'dark wanderer' - you're hiding yourself with a different force than a 'latent shadow'.

Fortunately, my weapons are specially made. If you're a weapon to kill the undead, there's no way you can't kill a vampire. There is a chance.

Ask carefully.

"Why are you here? Have you come looking for even the crystals of the night?

It was like laughter that came back to my inquiry. [M]

The fog of darkness gathers and takes shape from nowhere and not even in the eyes of vampires.

A pitch-black coat reminiscent of darkness, white skin without a touch of pottery. Cold, but somewhere arrogant, grin in my eyes as red as blood.

The figure of a female vampire was no different than it was once encountered. Neither the wound of the blow fired by Reinell at death, nor the trace of Cenri's 'annihilation', leaves any.

I'm supposed to be in front of you, but there was still no sign of it. I don't even smell it. But it's not an illusion.

It shouldn't just be a vampire's ability. It's not even magic. The crystals at night cannot be erased until they smell, so they are not the power of crystals either.

Sable reaches out his arm. I don't know why, I don't think he's the same person, even though he's no different from me.

"I have nothing to be afraid of. Today - I'm here to scout. My Lord is interested in you. I would love to accompany you."

"... I'm sorry, I already have a wife. I appreciate the invitation, but I can't go with you."

Can Cenri fulfill and detect the signs of vampires in front of him?

... It will be difficult. Cenri's use for undead detection is a leaking negative aura, the same one I'm sensing.

Is there another way to hide it besides the crystals of the night? Unfortunately, you won't be able to tell me if I ask you here.

But there was more to it than that.

Sable continues as if to persuade me to stare.

"If possible, the Lord says he wants to welcome our army with executive treatment. As good as I am, most of my wishes come true. If you want a human woman, you get as much as you want. And - power too. You're strong, but you're still immature, and you don't know how to use vampire power."

Quite favorable conditions, but not to be talked about.

I'm not leaving my favorite centipede, and even that centipede won't follow me to the King of Piles.

As long as Cenri is hostile to the King of Piles, I am also the enemy of the Sabres. It's a guy called Loved Weakness. Besides, there is untrained human society.

"What if I told you I didn't like it?

"I can't help it."

Sable glanced over his shoulder with a thin grin. But I don't think I'm going to give up.

Totally, this is why the demons are... called 'cannibals', Reinell, Albatos, nobody and he are selfish and in trouble.

You should fry and drink the dirt from Cenri's nails, who always listen to my selfishness.

But anyway - I asked what I couldn't help but wonder.

"By the way, how did you show up?

"What...?

Sable gives a surprise look.

"Let's be honest. I don't know what the logic is, but I can't read your signs. It would be reasonably unlikely that we could avoid it if we were ambushed. Why did you show up so dignified?

I would never do such a dangerous thing. In the first place, given the circumstances of the last time we broke up, there's no way we could have been successful in the negotiations.

No, I get it. I don't have to ask, I know the reason.

I know, and that's a convenient thing to do... but my emotions don't convince me that I can do this.

"The failure of the negotiations was visible. Still, if we're going to take him, we have to take him with strength. You don't hate ambushes to see an attack on Rhinel, do you? How did you show up square and square in front of me?

"... I see your will. I'll hear as much bullshit later. I'm sorry, but you can't keep the Lord waiting too long."

When Sable says it looks troublesome, he points his finger at it. White fingertips with no scratches. From the gap between the fingernails of the right index finger, as the thread of blood slowly stretches out, it dances to shake the universe.

It's the special ability of King of Piles. I was already watching, so I'm not surprised. Delicate but powerful enough to restrain Reinell if bound, it's a terrible force. Variable, free-flowing and difficult to avoid.

When I grabbed her tight, I took off my sunglasses with my left hand and slipped them into my pocket. Close your eyes and say it clearly.

"I know, Sable. You don't have to say anything, I know. You, you think it's easy to hold me down. I don't consider myself an enemy."

So I showed up from the front. So the last time that happened at Reinell's castle, he spoke to me in peace. Even though it presupposes control.

If you put it into words, there is no such thing. It will also depend on whether you take that as a sign of confidence or if you are licking it.

But why? Just a little - Moya Moya.

The opponents I've fought against, they all saw me as an enemy, no matter how strong it was. Even Reinell, who was overwhelming, didn't underestimate this one so far. It is a surprise.

Sure, Sable is superb. You have the same characteristics as me, but you must be winning with everything.

However, I would have observed that I could use Necromancer magic, that I had drawn only from Reinell, and that this battle...

It's impossible to attach power to someone who doesn't recognize dignity.

Sable frowns and tells him to forgive.

"You won't get away with it. It would be difficult to have me with the bone man you defeated."

I didn't say anything anymore.

Sure, all I could do then was buy some time. Sadly, all I could do was get Cenri to help me.

I was dying then, but not now.

I'm intact now. There's plenty of blood and no fatigue. Plus, in the first place, I'm stronger now than I was then.

My soul keeps falling. I also get centipede blood.

Fighting the upper hand is the usual thing. There's not a single opponent left who's been trying to rule me.

Is it because they're the same vampire? Is this the guy you call homophobic?

I feel a surprising amount of fighting spirit boiling down myself. Wonder, my fangs can't wait to ache.

No - you're not.

I returned calmly there. [M]

Take a big, deep breath and lick your lips.

This must be - the will of Lord.

"I've been lacking exercise lately. Let me show you the power of the family of the famous King of Piles, Senior."

I understand. I understand. Now I understand. That was the perfect feeling for the expression "falling in love".

Lord must have meant to kill the vampires.

The reason Horos Carmen gave him the ability to 'absorb the curse' is that the person who tried to take the blood - is a vampire. Definitely.

In my body, in my soul, lies the obsession of Lord.

I'm not going to go along with Lord's paranoia. But you have to pay for the fire powder that comes down.

I can't get away with it anyway. Turning your back in front of a vampire who can manipulate blood freely is suicidal.

This time the purpose is the same. I'm not lying about vampire power and wanting to see them right.

There is a chance.

"If I tie you up, I'm sure Cenri will compliment you too"

"It's too stupid to let the End Knight in."

Blood, which was like thread, gathered together and formed a wave of red sword.
