Chapter 418 – 418. The Hero’s Daughter (1)
Kaaang!
The current situation of the Lindewald Territory, where the battle was taking place, was abysmal itself.
The claws of the vampires collided with the swords of the knights, the roaring sound of iron resonated everywhere, and a gust of wind swept away in the aftermath of the magic used by the wizards of the Magus Court Magic Division.
At the center of the commotion, Eira and Cha Han-seong moved while supporting the wounded knight who was attacked by Raynon.
“…”
While Eira continued to move with her wounded knight’s arm over her shoulder, Cha Han-seong was advancing, blocking the threat of the vampires approaching from her front.
Cha Hanseong frowned as if he didn’t like it.
“What’s the matter?”
Cha Han-seong answered Aira’s question, who felt puzzled by seeing his back.
“I can’t see people.”
Buildings collapsed in the aftermath of the fight, and in the midst of a fight with a bloody roar, it was normal for people to scream and run away.
But at present, not a single civilian was seen in the Lindewald Territory.
I’ve heard that it’s already a ruined manor, but it’s not that slum residents, such as bullies and homeless people, do not exist at all.
One of the worst imaginations came to mind in Cha Han-sung’s mind.
“Already to the vampires… ?”
To the point where I thought it might have been eaten.
Cha Han-sung’s question remained unanswered until he arrived at the center of the Lindebald Territory, where the priests were busy caring for the wounded and running around from time to time.
“Separate the seriously injured and the lightly injured! I will entrust the care of all the severely wounded to me, and the care of the other minor ones!”
“All right!”
The priests moved busily under the direction of Eleanor, who showed the dignity of a high-ranking priest and the charisma of a daughter of a ducal aristocratic family.
“Are you injured?”
Before long, a priestess approached Eira, Cha Hanseong, and the wounded knight.
The priest, dressed in a pure white priestly robe covered in dust, had a youthful appearance that looked like he was only about 16 years old, but he was an excellent priest who was doing his duty while sweating coldly with his hard face in this battlefield.
Ayra nodded her head and answered the young priestess’ question.
“Her left rib was broken. There are no other defects or other scars. May I ask you to heal your wounds?”
“Yes. We’ll take care of it on our side. I want to lay the driver down and check his condition. Can I ask for a move?”
“All right.”
The attitude of the young priestess as she examined the wounds of her wounded knight was infinitely serious.
The faint divine aura that emanated from her fingertips made it possible to guess that she was a new priest of the lowest rank, having just been given her priestly position.
Her priestess’s best in caring for a person’s wounds to the best of her ability is dazzling in her.
Most of all, it was natural that the young priestess, who had participated in this operation of hers and was doing her best without fear of her, looked splendid.
“Then we will go back to the front. Please.”
“I hope that Vesta-sama’s protection will be with you both.”
At the words of the young priestess praying for them, holding the pendant around her neck in her hand, Eira smiled happily and nodded her head.
“There are a lot of them.”
“… Breath!?”
It wasn’t just Aira and Cha Han-seong that were breathed in by the man’s voice.
Even in the midst of the groans of the wounded, footsteps of priests running around busily, and loud voices exchanging opinions, the voice that suddenly appeared resonated widely and sent chills down the spines of the knights escorting the priests.
“You, you… !”
Cha Hanseong checked the face of the vampire who appeared in front of him and distorted his face.
Having destroyed the fun and happy moments in his own life, he never forgot the vampire’s face.
“Huh?”
The vampire found Cha Han-seong glaring at him like a lifelong enemy, biting his teeth, and tilted her head.
“Hmm…”
I was familiar with those hateful eyes of a human expressing emotions as if they wanted to kill me right away.
“Ah! That adventurer then!”
The vampire let out a small exclamation.
An adventurer’s party made entirely of humans.
And it was especially strong among them, and the prospect of future growth reminded me of a human being.
“Then that person!”
The faded memories floated to the surface and gradually became clearer, finally recalling Cha Han-seong’s face.
Haha! Okay! More! It has become even more delicious!”
The vampire is able to determine the power of the human she sees as her prey.
The sense that was developed to run away if stronger than oneself and to prey on weaker ones clearly penetrated Cha Hanseong’s level.
Cha Han-seong was stronger than when she met him.
The rate of its growth is also very steep.
Looking at Cha Hanseong, she licked her lips and licked her lips.
“… Son of a bitch.”
Cha Hanseong saw the enemy vampire and gnashed his teeth before pulling out the sword from his waist.
The vampire in front of me has a slightly different disposition from other vampires.
The reason why he deliberately saved the weak and pitiful Cha Han-seong to the point where he could be confident that he could eat it at any time was because of this vampire’s twisted tendency to become stronger the more he ate the mana possessed by the strong, and to experience the finest taste.
So, he annihilated all of his adventurer party members, and induced him to harbor hatred for himself.
So, I looked forward to the day when I would meet Cha Han-sung again.
In order to ingest his stronger blood and indulge in the ultimate pleasure.
The vampire looked at Cha Han-seong with the expression of looking at a deliciously ripe fruit.
“Haha!”
There were no foreshadowings of the start of the battle.
Charged at her full speed towards her Cha Hanseong, the vampire, already strengthening his claws, swung at high speed to pierce her Chahanseong’s throat.
“Kuh!?”
Kaaang!
In an instant, Cha Hanseong slashed the vampire’s claws in front of him with his sword and stepped backwards, widening the distance.
However, as soon as he frantically widened the distance, what covered him were dozens of bats shaped in dark red blood.
[Vampire blood technique]
[Blood Bat]
“Did you forget this!”
“Nice… Eww!”
Cha Han-seong gnashed his teeth at the vampire’s sarcasm.
His comrades suffered great damage as they were bitten all over by bats made of vampire blood.
However, it is not that Cha Han-seong has not thought about anything until now.
‘Let’s stay calm. You’ve been thinking about it.’
The main skills of the vampires, who covet human blood and make the magic contained in the blood their own, use blood as a medium to make full use of their own powerful abilities.
Cha Han-sung, who grasped that characteristic, worked hard to improve his skills even after joining Artia, and at the same time continued to come up with strategies to subdue the vampires.
“Whoa…”
With a small deep breath, he calmed down his hatred for the vampire and condensed his mana into the sword he was holding.
He swung his sword while unleashing all of his mana, which had been contained to the limits of his own level.
[Olivion swordsmanship]
[Sky Slash]
As the concentrated mana was released, sword spirits flew forward and attacked the swarms of bats in the air surrounding Cha Hanseong.
The helplessly torn bats lost their shape and just returned to their original blood and fell to the floor.
“Oh?”
The vampire showed interest in Cha Han-seong, who brilliantly destroyed her own skills.
“That…”
Eira was also surprised by the appearance of Cha Han-sung.
“Father’s skill?”
“Whoa…”
This is the result of actively utilizing the talent that only Cha Han-seong has, who can follow the weight of the effort and time accumulated by the target after seeing the swordsmanship of others.
The result of trying to live and die to catch up to his level after seeing the sword of Riod, the leader of Artia.
‘The power is less than one-tenth of that of the captain, but it’s okay.’
I was able to be sure that I, who was struggling after reading the excellent textbook, was definitely growing.
Having seen Riod’s sword in the first place, if you can reproduce his swordsmanship exactly the same, that’s a truly blessed talent.
The amount of mana was insufficient, the perfection of the body he trained was insufficient, and the weight of the accumulated effort and time was completely behind Riod, but Cha Hanseong was growing step by step as he watched Riod use perfect swordsmanship in balance and offense. .
He had only practiced Riod’s swordsmanship once, and as his arms trembled and some of his body’s magical power was drained, a considerable amount of fatigue overtook Cha Hanseong, but Cha Hanseong didn’t care at all.
“… Good.”
It’s not just fatigue that makes your arms tremble.
It was because of the sense of exhilaration that he had grown enough to stand up to his enemy, the vampire.
“Good… Good! It really turned out very tasty!”
It wasn’t just Cha Han-sung himself who felt a sense of elation seeing such Cha Han-seong.
The more fiercely the prey resisted and the stronger it was, the more the vampire with a special twisted personality who could feel the pleasure of subduing and enjoying a meal cheered.
“I’m sorry.”
“Huh?”
“We’re not free enough to be stuck with you alone like this.”
Squeak
Before she could quickly respond to the voice of a woman who had taken over behind her, one arm of her cheering vampire fell off.
She rotated her body in an instant to pierce her own opposite hardened nail into her side of her extremity to be on her back.
Ayra blocked her claws with her own sword.
Instead of repelling it with force, it was a graceful swordsmanship movement that twisted her sword at an angle to twist its trajectory and drained the power of a vampire.
The vampire flashed her eyes.
“Oh oh.”
This woman is also strong.
The level of strength is similar to or slightly stronger than Cha Hanseong.
However, she was confident that if she compared herself with herself, even if these two attacked together, the vampire would be able to subdue these two men and women.
Her vampire, who in an instant regenerated her own severed arm, remembered her good idea and smiled.
“Okay! You’re his new ally!”
“…”
Eira didn’t answer, staring coldly at the vampire who was staring at her with her glazed eyes.
What made her feel good, the vampire opened her mouth flirting with that cold stare.
“What would your blood taste like? It must be the ultimate delicacy! And if you drink another comrade’s blood in front of that helpless fella.”
The vampire, who wanted to see Cha Han-seong’s despairing expression he had seen at that time, already had a salivating expression on his face.
“Who… Who would let that happen!”
Hearing the vampire’s imagination, Cha Han-seong swung her sword at the vampire in a fit of rage.
Not once, but twice, to make her feel helpless, the vampire gazed at the nape of Eira’s neck with a low expression and licked her lips.
It was really unbearable, and Cha Han-seong was furious.
As if to sympathize with his passionately changing emotions, the mana that swirled around Cha Han-seong rapidly increased and he tried to rush at the vampire.
[Olivion swordsmanship]
[Drop the egret]
Squeak
In an instant, the vampire’s arm was cut off once again and fell to the floor, and Cha Han-seong had no choice but to stop his body from trying to rush in anger.
“Uh… ?”
What was disconcerting was the vampire as well.
It wasn’t just one that was cut off this time, it was both arms.
After belatedly realizing that his vision was being reversed, the vampire realized that his head had been cut and her head had fallen to the floor.
“What is this…”
It was faster than before, and I couldn’t read the movement.
The vampire, who looked up into the air with a blank expression and moved her gaze upward, spotted the female warrior exuding fearsome fighting spirit.
“Do you think I looked down on you that much?”
“…”
The vampire had to tremble slightly at the sudden rise of Eira’s power.
It was because Eira’s appearance, which she thought she could easily subdue, was obviously strange.
Her terrifying spirit emanating from her posture as she gripped her sword gave off an overwhelming sense of intimidation, as if proving that she was unmistakably the kingdom’s strongest knight and the daughter of a hero.
Instinctively sensing her danger, the vampire concentrated her regenerative powers on the severed neck, splicing her head first with her torso.
“I want to see how far you can maintain that momentum.”
Ayra swung her sword again.
“Keugh!?”
[Olivion swordsmanship]
[Dance of Hummingbird]
The vampire, who hurriedly restored only her head, was stunned by the slash of her quicksword flying towards her.
