Kuraki Kyuuden no Shisha no Ou

Lesson 24: Secrets •

The Knight of the End is transcending man.

Purification using blessings is a fatal weakness for the undead, who outnumber humans in every realm, but apart from that, the End Knight, who encapsulates blessings in an out-of-digit amount, which is life energy itself, is much more powerful than just humans.

So what about Vampire Hunter?

Vampire hunting, unlike the End Knight, has no unusual power.

If I had the gift of manipulating blessings, I would definitely have become an end knight, so most vampire hunting is ordinary compared to an end knight.

But that doesn't mean you can never fight a human opponent.

The driving force behind the vampire hunt is paranoia. What it takes to kill a monster as a person is madness, and what it takes to survive is unrelenting workout and luck.

For the Knights of the End man is an object to protect. But for vampire hunting, humans were simply easier opponents to give than the creatures they were always fighting for.

"Our vampire hunter Vampire Hunter is - a proxy for the vengeance of a pathetic and vulnerable victim. Of course, I can't deny that it contains some hobbies and business."

A room in the city hall. Covering the unconscious guards, Kainusi says. His eyes were cloudy on the back of his pleasant tone.

Looked into her eyes reminiscent of Naruto, [Descend] 's mayor sitting on the floor slipped back.

An old, well-widened man. Appearance and strength shouldn't necessarily be proportional, but they don't look like excessive cutters, as the bar collaborators said.

Nor was there anything notable about the skill of the guards protecting the mayor.

If the information on the collaborators is true, I'm pretty sure the mayor knows something. But I'm too cautious.

Nevila, who had so far narrowed her eyes and observed the way it was done, flaunts Kainushi with words alone.

"Kainushi, I thought you said you were going in peace."

"Exactly, Lord End Knight. I have no grudge against this man."

tingly, the mayor's eyebrows moving as he slipped his hips. He leans on that side and Kainushi gazes at him.

Kainushi is a skinny long drive. Even in retreat, when dealing with a shorter mayor, it takes the form of a peek from the top.

The mayor looked up at his pointed, quiet eyes, shuddering.

"Hey, what!?

"So this is not due to my own emotions. It's just - that's what my clients (clients) want with so much resentment that their souls are burned by vampires. Don't resent me."

A cane that was gripped in his right hand falls to the floor. A broken finger grabbed its neck, covered in leather gloves.

Keeping his neck gripped, Kainushi rises. The trachea is compressed and the mayor speaks like a frog crushed.

It was tremendous power. A skinny man was separated from a human being so that a large adult could hang himself with one hand.

Luffrey breathes and the beastly girl stands by and watches it.

"Kuku... what my clients want. In the execution of justice, not. Take as long as you can and suffer as much as you can! Kill the vampire and those who give it to you! I'm getting paid for it!

"Kainushi!"

Luffrey grabs his arm. Kainushi lost his voice there just a little bit. But there is no change in the light shining behind those eyes.

"But I haven't always been able to achieve enough of that. Unlike the Knight of the End, I'm a human being, because if you give me some extra time, they'll kill you. So, Mayor. When it comes to dealing with humans... they're putting their hands together."

The mayor scratches his hand holding his neck, 27615; but his hand, clapped with all-powerful force, does not move. A whispering Kainushi voice enters the mayor's ear that opens his eyes.

"Spit it out as slowly as you can. I don't care if you suffer and die as you are with anything. I'm very distressed... but yes. My valued clients will surely be very satisfied."

§

"Too much, Kainushi"

"Kuku... right? I thought you were the seniors hunting down the undead without choosing the means."

Luffrey laughs, a vampire hunt with great arms. But it was real madness to look calm at first sight and dwell behind those eyes.

Kainushi was thorough, serious. I came to listen to you, but I thought you could kill me. I didn't loosen my hands at all while the mayor learned about the victim's potential.

The madness that makes vampire hunting a vampire hunt. There were people there who became monsters to hunt monsters.

If necessary, the man in front of you will not hesitate to attack you, even if your opponent was an end knight.

Nevila makes me frown and tells me to throw it away.

"Don't be sorry with me! The only way we don't choose to do this is if they're not human."

The Knights of the End do not abandon humans unless there is an extra reason.

Some cunning vampires and high-ranking undead hide their identities and pawn humans.

He who stands up kills without hesitation, but he who can save saves. End knights don't kill to kill humans.

To Nevila's words, Kainushi frowned and nodded as if he were the best.

"That... naturally. If the Knights of the End turn out to be like us... we'll be in business."

".................. chip"

"The purpose has been achieved. Mayor, I let him live. Problem?"

To the tongue-beating Nevila, Aruba, who remained silent until then, gave a chilling voice.

The voice color of an unreasonably grown man of the year holds a comatose emotion, as does Kainushi.

See the city hall that just came out.

Was Kainushi's words horrific enough to go on, or competent enough to feel the seriousness contained in his voice, the mayor spit out light information before he was subjected to torture that could be called torture.

Luffrey sighs as he rebuts the sight of the interrogation.

"Underneath the castle, or... that's an old end knighthood mistake"

It was known from the east and the west that the king of the dead had his wife's hand.

It probably didn't destroy the castle because it was meant to make the most of the building, but it couldn't afford to just devote that much resources to the Knights of the End at the time.

Modernity is still better, but I have heard that in the past there were many Necromancers (Necromancers) and that the Knight of the End side was not as dominant as it is now.

During the interrogation, Luffrey and the others were just watching from behind, but they didn't look like they were lying to the mayor's expression.

But - I wasn't able to pull out all the information.

Turns out there are night crystals in the basement. But there was an unspeakable discomfort in the flow of the story.

For example - I did not return any fully convincing reasons for the question as to why I did not call the Knights of the End. Not all humans think logically, but the hand of hiring mercenaries to sneak up on the steeple is foolish.

And on that point, Kainushi, who took so hard means, did not ask strongly.

Kainushi looked at the universe with a hazy glance, but turned to Luffrey and asked.

"Well, what do we do?

Kainushi is on the hire side this time. Vampire hunting basically doesn't work unless you get a request.

I guess that's a kind of stopper for them to use hate and madness against vampires as a weapon.

"Call for reinforcements"

To the imminent young end knight, Kainushi warped his brow.

"Goddamn it... not a bad hand. Were you cowardly?"

"Either praise or disparage! I'm not going to die, but if I die before I send the information to HQ, everything will be over."

Destroy at all costs. Nevila's eyes were giddy about the war, but the words are still calm.

The Knights of the End have refined their tactics little by little during the long battle. Each member is a thousand, but that's not enough to beat an undead who doesn't have a lifespan.

It is the castle of the former king of the dead. Definitely the basement of the castle would be a dead place. Then we should challenge the battle, ready to make it even more so, as we once did when we destroyed the Demon King.

"Or, as a vampire hunt, do you have a plan?

"Kuku... to the client... I will obey. If you can pay for that."

I get a straight Luffrey question and Kainushi shrugs his shoulders small.

"Besides... I gave the mayor time on purpose. I need you to dance."

- And so Aruba gave him a good face with momentum.

Look in one direction with a sight reminiscent of the beast.

Under strong sunlight. It was a pedestrian-style man who was at the end of that gaze.

Coat in turban for long journeys worn on head. However, if you observe a little, you can see that the eyeball is too sharp to call it just a merchant.

Luffrey narrows his eyes. A man exhaled roughly and gave a trembling voice.

"I don't care, mon. Because of you, oh, my people, this one, it's scattered, and I say," I'm in trouble. "

"... of... what... talk?

To Luffrey's question, the man does not answer.

Instead of words, the man's body shivered.

A travel outfit made of a sturdy cloth can be torn on flesh that swells up from the inside. The skeleton changes, the bristles stretch through its skin, and its mouth rips to its cheeks.

My hands and feet swell and my ears appear, and my flaming tongue licks my fangs.

At that time, the Luffreys were in a combat position and Kainushi was back.

"Werewolf... all over town?

Werewolf, a demon who works for a vampire and is sometimes stronger than the vampire himself.

Not undead but therefore difficult to detect, free to move even in the morning without any fatal weaknesses - but it has been slowly diminishing since the demise of the Ancestor, King of the Beasts (Lucos), who was the owner of the ability to produce it.

The people on the road scream when they realize the monster has appeared.

And the werewolf said unto Luffrey, who held the sword, and held the mace against him, without any attack.

"Since when did the Knight of the End come together with a Kikyu vampire?

"hey...... to!?

A werewolf kicked the ground out of his mind. Not to attack the Luffreys, but to escape.

Transformed and enhanced physical abilities outweigh that of the beast. It is difficult even for a second-degree knight to kill a werewolf who rushes after a werewolf who shows his back but flees thoroughly without pre-preparation.

A werewolf who vanished out of sight instantly, blinded by a large number of prey. Staring in that direction, Nevila raised a trembling voice.

"With vampires, to form, end knights," he said!?
