I even came near the desired residence.
It was midnight yesterday, but now it's about past breakfast time.
The sky pattern is pretty bright, even if it doesn't look neat.
The house is closed with doors and windows.
Of course it did last night, but if the house lights were still on at night, those lights would have leaked out of the doorway or something.
Unlike last night, by the way, I can see the villagers around me now.
The four of us seem to stand out - sometimes because our godchildren have all the beautiful girls, and maybe because they're all armed - and the villagers were eager to see us fly.
In the meantime, we walk to the door of the intended residence.
And I took the last step and knocked on the door when I sent a signal with my eyes to three people: Rio, Illis and Mayfa.
"Um, excuse me. I'm from the Demon King Hunter sent by the Guild of the Brave, is anyone there? I'd like to talk to you for a moment."
I do, speak up so I can hear you in the residence.
I haven't had a reaction for a while.
But then, a little bit later, a loud voice returned from across the door.
"... I'm sorry, but go home. I was just sleeping."
Male voice.
But the voice seemed creepy, somewhere from the bottom of the earth.
I see the faces of the three godchildren.
All three of them had a pressing look: Rio, Illis and Mayfa.
I nod to the three of them and then I call out to the other side of the door again.
"I was asleep, I say, but even at dinner last night, there was no light in this house, was there? Were you asleep then, too?
When I ask, again for a little while.
Then again, don't bluff back.
"... oh yeah. If you know what I mean, just go home."
"The village chief told me," A family of three, "and the whole family, you've been asleep?
Now I'll try and mix the faux.
In fact, I hear 'family of four' instead of 'family of three'.
If someone else in total red is making up, I might get bored.
"... right. And then we're a family of four. Did you really talk to the village chief? Ambiguous Yamatsu"
It didn't take the fake I set it up.
What do you mean...?
Are you sure you've just been asleep since dinner last night?
"Um, I'm sorry, can I open the door and let you in? You're listening to the disappearance, aren't you? It's an investigation. Please help me."
When I say that...
Now I waited awhile, but I didn't get a response back.
The place is quiet.
It's still obviously obnoxious.
There's no way to know the composition of a family living in this house, and there's still...
This will be enough, a forced breakthrough.
I make eye contact with my godchildren again.
Then I put my hand on the handle of the residence door.
I try to push the door open, but it's locked and it doesn't open.
Inevitable.
I took my hand off the door once...
"─ Ha!
I kicked the door with my feet.
Wooden doors blow up with every hinge along with loud noises, and doors detached from the entrance fall into the house with batans.
Now, if there were any ordinary villagers living here, I'd be very sorry.
Should I say fortunately or unfortunately?
What was there was not an ordinary sight.
In a dim house.
Shortly after the door was opened, a wooden coffin - one coffin - was placed.
The coffin has an open lid and is packed with a slight "dirt" inside.
I felt something in the "dirt" like an ominous sign.
It's the brave one.
But I think the signs are subtly different from the exasperation of the Demon King.
Either it's homogeneous to the signs of the undead monster...
And that's where I pinned.
Much of the questionable part connects with a single thread, neatly muscular.
I pull my sword out of the sheath of my hips and give instructions to my godchildren with only their voices.
"Rio, Illis, Mayfa! Evacuate the surrounding villagers as far away as possible! This is a vampire!
And myself, I step into the house carefully.
─ ─ Vampires.
It's a kind of undead monster, but it's a troublesome monster with top notch power and many special properties among them.
As the name suggests, vampires attack humans and suck their blood, but vampires have the ability to resurrect their own blood as undead monsters named Vampire Droppers (Vampire Spawn).
Vampire Spawn has lifelong memories, but he dwells in an evil nature and becomes impulsive of violence, killing and bloodsucking.
And at the same time, he turns himself into a loyal servant to the orders of the vampires who created him.
An even bigger problem, on the other hand, is the fighting power of vampires and their spawns.
This is pretty bad.
Vampires themselves are not meant to be demon kings, they are "just monsters" in that sense, but they are still strong enough to be invincible if not bundled up in a lined demon king hunter.
And even that dropper (Spawn) is the first monster in the world to have a fighting power comparable to a lined brave man.
Though...
If it's my strength, I'm not the one who can't handle it at all if I don't miss standing around.
Especially now in the morning, when the sun is weak but it is pouring down.
For vampires, daylight is a weakness, and they are of the nature that if they continue to be exposed to the light of day, they will be heavily damaged, and eventually burn and melt and perish.
In other words, now that we are in the middle of the day, the situation is in our favor.
Outside the house if you have to - get out in the sunlight and you can figure it out.
Then we should set up an assault and defeat him once and for all so that there is nothing like letting him escape here and spreading the damage.
Even though I have retreated from the position of being an active Barry Demon King Hunter, I am not going to take a step back when it is that easy on this level of opponent either.
"─ Shaaaaaaaa!
As I stepped into the residence, a single vampire spawn struck from the side of the entrance.
Vampire spawn is generally a human figure, but it shows that blue and white skin, sharp and pointy nails and canine teeth and, above all, creepy red glowing eyes have ended up being monsters who are no longer human beings.
That guy tries to grab me with his arms wide open, but if you try me with a bucket of agility that's always Rio, it's a perfectly normal move.
I would have backstepped outside the house to take that blow.
And he instantly stuck his foot where his opponent's balance had fallen apart, slamming a thrust by the sword.
Humans who have become vampire spawns also have slightly stiffer skin, but to that extent do not even apply it to their teeth.
My magical sword pierced Vampire Spawn's chest from diagonal to back.
"Higaaaaaaaa!"
Vampire Spawn screams, but he's also not the one to forgive.
Besides, it is not a monster that will perish to this extent.
When I pulled out my sword, I kicked that spawn in my head.
Spawn blows up to the back of his dwelling and crashes into the wall that was on his way and collapses.
On my way there, I...
"[Firebolt]!"
Strike in the magic of flame attributes.
The four strips of flamethrows that I produced hit all the spawn I was about to wake up and started a flame.
And after the flames stopped, Spawn's figure stopped moving.
It's hard to think that Spawn, impelled by his killing instincts, will simulate his incapacity for combat, and you can see that he defeated it damaging as well.
"But I don't suppose there's any such thing as..."
I'm walking into the house again.
Then from behind the door that was behind the room, the three vampire spawns appeared loose.
The figure is somewhat different from the first one, but will not differ greatly in individual combat power.
"Three... Well, what's the matter?"
Even as I relax, the Spawns will attack us first.
For one thing, I thought I'd greet you instead of the [sickness sword], and when I put up my sword...
"... from your right hand [Firebolt],... also from your left hand [Firebolt] - - hey!
- Bobby, bobby, bobby!
A total of ten flamethrows were fired from behind me and killed into three vampire spawns.
When the flame bullets land, they envelop the Spawns with flames.
I'm not the kind of person you can take down, but...
Nevertheless...... at all.
This guy's the best, you don't listen to me, do you?
"... brother, join the ranks. … evacuation guidance for villagers is enough for Rio and Illis alone"
"I get it. If you're here, don't be alarmed, Mayfa."
"... it's okay.... I use you as a shield, so unless your brother gets hit, I'm safe"
"Right. That's a relief."
I slapped one of my godchildren standing next to me so lightly.
