Chapter 179 – 179. The Gathering of Power (2)
====================
The blood veins of the red demons operating in the blood ritual were clearly concentrated in this king’s hall.
So-called heart.
The heart beating in the bloody consciousness was definitely this place.
Kill the vampire presiding over the ritual and destroy this place. That would be the only way to stop the bloody ritual.
Allen was suspicious of the immobile figure of the vampire sitting on her throne, but she decided to cut her vampire with her single sword because she had to deal with it quickly and go back.
“Damn bitch, you’re just making people tired.”
After muttering that, Allen grabbed the hilt of his sword with both hands.
Crushed without a trace.
I was thinking of extinguishing it without leaving a single strand of her hair, so as not to give her room to revive.
But,
“As I heard from Marishka, you are a pretty child.”
Her hand reached out from the empty air with a woman’s bewitching whisper.
Cold, pale fingers.
A palm full of displeasure covered Allen’s temple and one of her eyes.
At the same time, the figure of the vampire sitting on the throne is only an illusion,
The real vampire hid in the dark, waiting for her prey to fall prey.
“Ugh!”
Allen swallowed.
Because she noticed something in her interfering with her own psyche.
It is the magic of mental interference, which is the specialty of vampires. But Allen was not afraid. Because she had once deflected this vampire’s mental interference spell. She thought that this time too, she would defeat the vampire’s spell.
“No, no.”
Whispered the vampire.
The vampire in the guise of Marishka smiled, revealing her razor-sharp fangs, she said.
She is not Marishka.
It was clear that Marishka was the vampire who caressed Allen’s body as if she were handling her noble craft, but the entity that animates her body is her mother… She was the vampire queen.
“Bill, what to eat… Bitch… !”
“Your tongue doesn’t match your noble beauty.”
The vampire queen frowned as she stood and stroked Allen’s stiff body.
Lucy Vampir.
Borrowing her daughter’s body and succeeding in possessing her, she saw Allen’s lethargic figure, unable to move like a butterfly caught in her web, with her blood-red eyes shining.
“I never thought Marishka would struggle, she would have been in trouble if she hadn’t called Savnak. Since she thought that she only needed to prepare for the demon king slayer…. Who would have thought that she would be such a beautiful and strong young lady?”
A beautiful and courageous fighter.
Lucy must have liked Allen. She continued the story while stroking her white skin.
Took control of her body.
She can take her mind at any moment.
But Lucy wanted to talk to the beautiful fighter for a moment, so she put off completing her spell that was strangling her mind.
“… What are you… !!”
Grrrrr!!
Like a caged beast roaring, Allen did not lose her fighting spirit even when her whole body was stiff.
“Demon King of Tyranny, Lucy Vampir. I am the ruler of tyranny and the queen of vampires.”
Vampire queen.
It is a true darkness that prepared and planned the destruction of the kingdom of Valois.
At the words of her vampire queen, who revealed her identity, Allen’s golden eyes erupted with a burning intent to kill.
“Even if you try to struggle, it’s useless, you fighting-hee with strong beauty. It’s all over now. Soon the beast of gluttony will come down and turn this land into a hell full of hunger, poverty and starvation.”
The Vampire Queen’s tickling laughter echoed in my ears.
The satisfaction of being on her own terms.
The arrogance of having it all played on her own accord.
It contained the expectation that a terrible disaster would begin according to her own will.
How can you be happy?
All humans in the kingdom of Valois came to play on their own stage.
The vampire queen waited for her massacre to begin in the future, as if she had become an omnipotent creator herself.
“No use. Your mind is already mine. As long as I hold you tight, you cannot escape my control.”
Lucy chuckled at the sight of Allen trying her best to free herself from her mental bondage somehow.
As if watching a pet play,
With her limbs tied, she sneered at her floundering and acting like nothing else.
“So now you want to accept the domination.”
The Vampire Queen buried her face against the nape of her Allen’s neck as she whispered softly.
She opened her alluring lips.
Before long, sharp fangs appeared.
Like a snake trying to bite her prey, slowly, very slowly, closing the distance, seeking her noble blood.
“Quit!”
When the sharp fangs tried to mercilessly bite the thin woman’s neck,
There was the sound of hitting steel.
Red sparks flew as the fangs collided, as if hitting solidly smelted metal.
“What do you mean….”
The Vampire Queen, who had failed in her vampirism, covered her mouth with a surprised expression.
I couldn’t bite her neck.
Its fangs tingled as if it had bitten a boulder.
Examining her fangs with her fingers, Lucy noticed that the tips of her fangs were chipped off slightly.
“Gaaaaa!!!”
Her blue-haired female sage opened her eyes and let out her cry.
Clenching her fists,
I tried to escape from her mental interference by rotating her mana that wrapped around her body.
“The remnants of Another One dare….”
The Vampire Queen was greatly angered by the sight of Allen struggling with her will to resist.
Failed to vampirize her prey.
For vampires, a bloody clan, her vampiric failure was her biggest disgrace.
The dregs left behind by Another One! It was a collection of powers left by God to the other Ones in rags!
“If you do not want to become a member of the blooded clan, I will grant you death. No, I’ll mess with her head and make her an idiot!”
The Vampire Queen groaned and placed her hand on Allen’s forehead, who was trying to break her spell.
Mental interference is a vampire’s long term.
And destroying the other person’s mind was also one of the vampire’s organs.
I will erase everything in my head like this. Not only fragments of his tall body, but even a handful of memories. She wanted to turn her into a meat puppet that could only breathe.
No matter how strong your body may be,
Because in her mental realm, she will never be able to overcome her own sorcery.
“First of all, we have to break down the axis of that solid mind.”
After muttering that, the Vampire Queen injected her magic directly into Allen’s head, where her limbs were restrained.
“If my body is relaxed, I will make it into minced meat and throw it away as food for wild dogs!!”
Caught on her forehead by her vampire queen, Allen, who was being subjected to her mind-interfering spell, screamed loudly.
But her sorcery continued.
As her sorcery unfolded in earnest, Allen’s memories opened slowly, like the opening of her curtains.
-That’s a monster.
– A monster that cannot be controlled even in the family.
-Are you not able to control your power, so you are spewing it out with your will!
Voices began to be heard.
Never wanted to forget,
I heard the unpleasant voices of my childhood that I never wanted to hear again.
* * *
The fight between Yushin and Savnak naturally stopped when the beast of gluttony appeared.
Now is not the time to fight.
Having judged that, Yushin ran through her city while feeling an excruciating pain as if her intestines were being burned.
Citizens who came out had to be immediately evacuated inside the building. You can’t see that monster. Just looking at that monster with the naked eye is dead.
Yushin desperately moved his steps to save even one more survivor.
“Cuck, heck!”
“Save me, save me… !”
However, all around him was a slowly dying figure making the sound of boiling phlegm.
She died soon after.
A whopping number of hundreds.
Even with the naked eye, hundreds of corpses were lying there.
‘Fuck, what the hell is that!!’
Yushin glared at the unidentified monster filling the red sky with hateful eyes.
It is so huge that it is difficult to determine its shape.
The only thing that could be clearly identified was the huge eye light that was supposed to come from the monster’s eyes, and the monster that appeared with its head stuck in was looking down at the city on the ground while diligently moving both eyes.
“It must be the beast of the end! Finally, God is going to punish us foolish humans!”
An old woman stretched out her hands to the sky as if she had lost her mind and started talking incomprehensible nonsense.
Is it because of the shock of losing a family member?
Or did he let go of his mind at the horrors of the capital that had changed terribly?
Maybe that’s a wise decision.
It would be very painful to stay sane in a situation where a huge monster appeared to devour the capital. Wouldn’t it be rather merciful to see that monster and be killed?
“Damn it! Please, I’m begging you, so listen to me!”
He slammed his fist into his heart, which spewed out terrible pain.
Now is not the time to sit down.
It was time to rise up somehow and fight the monster that was trying to devour Lutemine.
‘There’s no way I can win against that monster in a situation where I can’t even defeat Savnak. How could I beat such a huge monster…. But that doesn’t mean you can’t run away from Allen and her men.’
Yushin leaned on his lightning sword and slowly got up again.
It’s not over yet.
Because there are things to protect.
As if brainwashing himself, he mumbled and reminded himself of the reason to fight.
“… Now the Fist of Greed will come down to earth and declare this kingdom its own. Everything is over, Yushin Gilead.”
Savnak, who was looking at Yushin trying to get back up and fight somehow, opened his mouth.
He was feeling sad.
Feeling sorry for the enemy he recognized.
Yushin Gilead. He knew best that he had fought hard so far. He was fully aware that he had risked his life to fight in order to somehow stop the bloody ritual, and that he had been desperately fighting a duel with himself until now.
“But there are always monsters in this world that can never be defeated.”
You can’t beat that monster.
And me too.
No one in this world can beat that monster.
Because that monster is an oath that is strong enough to be judged as a great threat to the continent just by its existence.
It was like an absolute being with enough power to completely deny the world’s logic and providence. Even the six demon kings would be mere creatures in front of that monster. Even a demon lord slayer who defeated six demon lords in a row would not be able to withstand even a second against that monster.
“Give up? If I was going to hit my head and give up here, I wouldn’t have gone through all that hard work.”
Responding to Savnak’s words, Yushin took a step forward while creating a black thunderbolt.
A thunderbolt engulfed the flames.
The heart, which had begun to calm down, began to ignite the flames of the seventh ember.
The thunderbolt, which had been pitch-black, became darker and changed to the same color as Savnak. Every time the flames surrounding the thunderbolt burned, the authority that ran wild like a mad horse seemed to regain its stability.
“I can’t die of anger at this rate. He said it would be less unfair if he stabbed that monster once and died!”
Yushin raised his sword stained with black lightning and aimed at the monster in the red sky.
Did the monster even notice that?
The monster’s gaze, which was looking down on the scene of the fallen capital, Rutemine, began to turn to Yushin, located in the center.
A thunderbolt tinged with flame. Yushin, who developed the sword of depth thunder, albeit imperfectly, showed all his strength against an enemy he could never defeat, like a hero challenging an impossible feat.
