Kuraki Kyuuden no Shisha no Ou

Lesson 23: Secrets ③

As you could see from above the door, the underground area was incredibly wide. And it was intertwined. There are countless passages connected to a wide cavity.

The golems still seemed to be there. The sound echoes because of footsteps but is sealed, making it difficult to see the direction.

The intense pain of constant running all over his body was slightly cured by falling into the dark. Probably because my power rose because I was surrounded by darkness. I guess this pain is like the result of me and Sable's drawstrings.

Though it was still even a hundred million robberies to move - you can't be all over it.

Cenri was calm even in this situation of absolute desperation. You can't make it look unusual in front of her, and this is more of a stepping stone than they told you to protect it.

The skin glows brightly. It's a quiet light that doesn't make you feel the heat. The light is also extremely small because I wear clothes that I can't see the excess skin, but maybe if I take my clothes off, my whole body will shine from the toe of my leg to the toe of my head?

You noticed my gaze, Cenri dives in and says.

"The basement is... oxygen is thin. The end may be fine, but - by letting the blessings circle, I'm replacing it."

That's a specialist against the undead. I've been thinking a lot about things I wouldn't even notice.

While I was impressed, I heard what bothered me the most.

"... if I touch it, it melts?

"... I'm trying not to melt. But don't touch it."

It won't melt, but can't you touch it... I see...

I nodded and convinced myself that Cenri frowned in the dark.

"End, you are... too curious"

I want to touch it... the next time I get blood, I want it to shine. Switch heads.

"The fact that the Golem is not old means that someone is in and out of here."

How hard is golem manufacturing?

That determines the opponent's power, but to the extent that he appears this time, he can handle it.

In the first place, it is predictable that there will be some sort of conspiracy at the time the trap is set. The question is just who the other person is...

Cenri said the mayor was just a human being. It was during the day that Cenri was called, and now Cenri has the presence of crystals at night in mind, so I don't see any error in judgment around it.

But this underground palace - a labyrinth-like space - is too inconvenient for humans to operate. And I don't actually smell humans from the basement except for Cenri's.

There seems to be a rather complicated situation.

Looking down at the golem, Cenri tells me that I lack knowledge.

"Absorbs and cleaves power - demon breaking steel is barely produced, at least now... Only some of them are used - it's been a long time since I've seen them."

"Speaking of which, Horos was manipulating, you didn't even have an undead"

I would definitely have used it if I had something horrible about metal that swallows blessings. It seems to be an extra rare substitute.

And how powerful is the Lord of this Labyrinth deploying it to the Golem, which is not that strong?

So Cenri added. I refer to "Brad Ruler" in my hand.

"End, you have a small amount of demon breaking steel and Adamant steel. Therefore, the evil spirits will be torn apart, and no meeting with the weapon of the Holy Silver will be frightening."

"You mean a good weapon?

"There is also a curse from above. Perhaps you can't handle it with just people"

In retrospect of what they say, the sturdiness of this mollusk is considerable.

I've gotten a lot so far, but Albatross, Reinell and I are the only ones who have survived the fierce battle and are still in shape.

That's the weapon Lord prepared for himself. Let's take care of it.

When you stop the words, Cenri takes a big, deep breath and closes her eyes. And I opened my eyes unexpectedly.

The light emitted from its silver hair spreads like a veil. Probably wouldn't have noticed if this place was outside with a little light, a thin light. It's in true darkness, so I barely understood.

The light was undoubtedly from the blessing of the undead, but touching me didn't hurt or shock me.

My heart sounds, I hear a pulse. Cenri opened her eyes and said in a small voice. It is disturbed to the extent that breathing is not noticed unless you try to know with caution.

"Pretty complicated terrain. The number of golems is also quite high. This is... trouble."

I see...... now the light is the identity of Cenri's perception. I hadn't noticed it before, but I guess I've let it go from time to time.

And if you look closely, you can also see that the light is disturbed only around the gripping lion.

Cenri's words were weak sometime.

You barely changed your attitude when you pursued a serious injury in the fight against Albatross, but can I assume that this is a sign of trust?

The pain that was causing the whole body just a little relief. I'm in the mood.

In the darkness is my private arena. Needless to say, the application of blessings is poor minutes in monster opponents who target those who are former end knights.

Cenri carefully moves one step forward.

As I stretched my arm, I stuck my fingertips at its glowing neck. Rarely, the little back trembles perfectly, and the centipede turns this way. It's like blaming a prank for a jittery.

"... what?

"It's a rigged floor. There's something."

I see it. I see it. I feel one more stage up.

No - Shall I say I'm used to another flesh as a vampire?

Crawl and lay low on the ground. Carefully shredded floors. Smell. Color.

The darkness was on my side.

"The color... it's different. Cenri, you don't... you don't see."

The world looks like daylight to me in any darkness. Even color identification is easy.

But you probably don't see that much in Cenri's eyes. I just know what's going on around me by aiding with the power of blessing.

The power of the End Knight is to be feared, but never omnipotent. So I didn't even notice the door under the box until the mayor told me. Well, I didn't even notice that one...

Large hall in my eyes. I could clearly see that some of the colors on that floor were different.

There are also slight irregularities. Probably a switch.

"This... is a trap to kill the End Knight"

In the light of perception by the blessings emitted by Cenri, disturbances could be seen there. Even if you can grasp the general space, you won't know the precise situation. My weapon, and the demonic steel mixed with the wreckage of the fallen golems, is disturbing my perception.

The switch on the ground was probably made of the same metal. When I approached the switch as I crawled, I gently pressed it with my hand.

The switch moves slightly. There's a sharp noise, arrows flying from nowhere. Just trying to get past my head. I reached for it and forced myself to grab it.

It is made of demon steel. If you ask me, the gloss is just a little like mine. [M]

Look at the odd smell and carefully touch it with your tongue.

The taste of a lower vampire mutated from a corpse ghost is quite tolerable. I feel tingly and comfortably irritated. When I folded the arrow into two pieces, I wrapped it in my pocket.

I say it with the intention of blowing up a dark situation.

"Poison. The End Knight is too strong, so the measures are stronger. From my weak point of view, it's a good nuisance."

"End, no picking up and eating. That's why I break your stomach."

"!? Because Cenri doesn't give me much blood"

"…… Your meal time is too long"

§

The labyrinth was designed so nasty that Cenri flaunted her face.

True darkness without a single light. Into little air - demonic steel that interferes with perception by blessing. And a golem that strikes me in the dark.

It would be difficult to resist even decent mercenaries, a mass of malice.

[Descend] was hitting the vampires with measures to the point of obstinacy, but from this castle I feel a strong will to kill the End Knight.

I was impressed with your ideas. [M] I see..................... can you protect yourself from the Knight of the End by building castles like this?

But when I build a castle, I'll take more precautions. Take measures that will allow you to repel a pair of vampires and end knights.

The underground labyrinth consisted, to a large extent, of countless passages and rooms, as well as doors.

Thick metal doors are present in front of the room, as well as in the middle of the aisle, etc., preventing intruders from footing. It's not locked, so I guess it's for more blind spots to ambush either way.

The Vampire Curse is unique. I cannot enter another's house without my permission. [M]

One of the criteria for determining that separation is the door.

Now I think maybe it was because the Lord of this underground palace was inviting me to enter the door to the underground space.

The labyrinth door has made me feel like I shouldn't be in it very much. The effect of the door is thin on me as a lower vampire, but I would have been greatly exhausted without the centipede.

But Cenri solved all that for me.

When I open the door and check the safety inside, the centipede invites me in.

"End, come in"

It is truly unbelievable that it is a curse. For example, when I pass over running water, I lose almost all my powers as a vampire, but hot water only weakens me.

Maybe I shouldn't think with extra reason.

Soul-eating pain had turned into something with fever. I lose my head like I used to when I caught a cold.

"Thanks, sorry for the hassle"

"... you don't have to worry about it. End, you're useful."

Cenri is sweet. The fact that you're counting on me excites me.

Turn the golem falling from the ceiling into two pieces. At first, the surprised golems can no longer be destroyed like flow work.

Would the Lazars have withdrawn properly......

The underground labyrinth was intact and I didn't know what it was, but the destination was approaching steadily.

I open my eyes and stare at the wall - in a direction that feels signs.

"Feel it. We'll get there in a little while... it's a sign of the crystals of an extra-large night"
