"Phew. This outfit still doesn't fall off."

Henriette was sighing in her own room.

The aptitude is not that of a regular adventurer.

It was a brilliant dress worn by even some noble lady.

No, it's not from somewhere.

In fact, Henriette was a noble lady.

It is also the daughter of the House of Albert, the great nobleman who reigns over the land.

I haven't been back to my parents for a long time because of the report.

I only came home as an adventurer today, so I thought I wouldn't even bother to change, but I had no choice but to wear a dress when the strict maid chief told me to "dress when I'm in the mansion".

It's not like I care about the way it looks.

Fortunately, when I meet my father, who is always a lord, he talks about matchmaking all the time and pioneers, but I just didn't have that time today.

I received a report from my daughter, who is also an A-rank adventurer, and my father immediately understood the seriousness of it.

We are already supposed to give orders to the Knights and provide security for the city in a strict manner.

Not sure how the vampires will move in the future, but Henriette is going to rest in this mansion for the first time.

Until just when I go to bed, they don't even specify clothes, so I take off my dress and get dressed as usual.

It's an outfit that can move quickly when something happens.

That's how I took it out of my bookshelf, a book.

I'm worn out because I've read it many times since I was a little girl.

"Adventures of Rion the Brave"

This is a picture book about the legendary brave man.

The city has been shielded from doom by such brave men and has developed to its present size.

The renaming of the city as Liberto will also show how much the people of that time appreciated and honored the brave.

"But if the same thing happened now..."

Henriette shrugs as she opens a certain page of the book.

While a picture book for children, there were harsh illustrations of blue and white skinned demons sucking the blood of people in a certain city.

The name of the city is Melissa.

It's the name of this city that used to be.

A hundred years ago.

Those who attacked the people of the land as the first power of the Demon King's Army.

What to hide, it was a bunch of vampires.

When I opened the next page, it depicted a tough looking young man there.

He is the brave Lion.

And confronted are the kings of the vampires who were terribly portrayed at one time.

"King of Vampires...... Vampire Road"

When vampires evolve, they become a superior species called arc vampires.

And when arc vampires evolve further, they become vampire lords.

I don't know what the logic is, but Vampire Road says that only one whole thing can come into being at the same time.

But on the other hand, it has unparalleled power with arc vampires.

"... what if the vampires who grabbed humans had already evolved into vampire lords...? Now it's time to attack me to occupy this city...? Besides, there are no brave men now..."

I just imagined something cold running around my spine.

And that's when.

Suddenly, there was noise inside the mansion.

An unpleasant hunch struck Henriette, quickly wearing protective gear and taking the sword, jumped out into the hallway.

Then soon one of the maids runs.

"My lady, it's hard! He wants information that vampires have appeared all over the city! We don't know how many, but if we go up to a good number... Huh!

"Huh!"

Knowing that the worst has happened, Henriette is stunned.

The knights who were currently under strict guard appear to be responding, but the opponents are supposedly disaster-class vampires altogether.

Besides, when they suck blood, they manipulate them as family members.

Henriette jumped out of the mansion.

"Ha-ha-ha!

Henriette's rolling sword amputates the vampire's body.

Looking back instantly, he slashed up another vampire who was about to jump off his back all at once from the bottom.

Two vampires collapsing to the ground with a sledge.

At first glance, he is fatally wounded, but this does not reassure him.

Vampires are only undead and immortal, and when left alone, they recover.

Henriette shredded the vampire's neck, further spraying holy water on its cutting surface.

Then his neck screams and turns to ash as he raises the smoke.

"I'm glad you were listening to Lion's advice."

He taught me that he could substitute with holy water even without the sword he possessed with the grant of immortality.

Simply applying holy water seemed to weaken the power of vampires, and it was very helpful to have purchased large quantities just in case.

Since she left the mansion, she has already defeated the undead of the five bodies.

Apparently, the situation has already allowed the undead to break in everywhere in the city.

The knights and adventurers are also fighting, but sometimes they struggle a great deal with swarms of vampires who turn into bats and escape in the dark.

Even more troubling is the person who was sucked of blood and manipulated.

Henriette also had a knight attacked by her earlier family, who had no choice but to respond and pass out.

It's very hard to fight because you know you're being manipulated, besides not being able to judge by your appearance.

Moreover, there will be more and more of these dependent humans in the future.

As it is, at the end of the day this city could be dominated by vampires.

"Anyway, I need to rendezvous with the Kanaes soon...... Huh!

Henriettes possessed a magic artifact that revealed their positional relationship with each other.

It's Kanae who's nearby.

While defeating the vampires on the road, Henriette managed to reach just outside her companions.

And that's when my legs stopped unexpectedly.

Beyond the dark.

I felt a terrible and powerful sign there.

I'm slowly approaching this way.

Henriette was an unexpected step backwards.

Eventually the Lord of the signs appeared.

"Huh..."

She was the one who had encountered all sorts of demons so far and fought tough battles that could be described as dead lines more than once, but instantly realized its existence before.

(too different in character…)

Different digit intimidation than the concurrent vampires who have fought earlier.

Definitely a superior species.

Arc vampires.

No, no, no.

"Vampire Road......"
