「…I have never heard of a『Bloodthirsy General』. However, it is also hard to imagine a demon tribe deceiving a Demon King’s Army Executive…Moreover, they are a race that should have become extinct years ago. The vampire race.」
This old guy in the front of the Kingsguard, he’s sharp.
Let’s kill him quickly.
「Well, let’s make this quick.《Flame Explode》.」
The magic that creates a medium-sized explosion at an arbitrary location roared inside the ward.
The majority of them will probably die or be seriously injured by this.
「What the hell!?」
「Hey, there’s someone over there! It’s her!!」
Shut up…
Now, where are the warders and enchanter?
…Oh, I found them. They’re all gathered in the same place.
No ward… There are no wards. They’re too busy protecting the city to make wards to protect themselves.
Let’s just kill them all.
「《Tempest Blade》.」
The magic that generates a storm with countless invisible blades at the designated location easily sliced through the densely packed warders and grantors.
There seem to be several places where they are gathered. Let’s kill them all at once.
The warders and enchanters are putting all their energy into maintaining the wards, as if they have no idea that the enemy has already infiltrated inside the wards.
.My magic, strengthened fivefold by the blessing of the moon, easily reaps the lives of humans.
Ah, I feel good. This is it, this is the feeling.
「Fufufu… Hahahahahahaha!」
It’s the best.
In the previous city, I left most of the work to my men, so it was incomplete. But this time…
「I’m…I’m killing humans! I am laying waste to them! What a refreshing feeling! Hahahaha! Hahahahaha!」
How did it look to the humans as I killed my enemies while laughing like a villain in a Hollywood movie?
The incarnation of a nightmare? An absolute powerhouse? Just thinking about it makes me excited.
…Oh, it looks like the wards are broken.
I’m sure Rain-san and the others will be coming in soon.
「Well, fun time is over…」
「You’ve killed so many people and you don’t even seem to feel guilty about it. Sounds like a brutal executive.」
…Hmm?
「…What, you’re alive. You’re good.」
「I don’t want to be praised by the demon. Do not underestimate my men.」
It was the old man of the Kingsguard who spoke to me.
I looked behind me and saw…about half of the Kingsguard are still in action.
It is the country’s elite class, I guess.
「Attention, gentlemen! The enemy is the Demon King’s Army Executive! Magicians! Strong! But they are magician, and if we can get close enough, we have a chance! Let’s show the Kingsguard what we’re made of!」
「Uoooooooooooooooo!」
「Then get you as close as you want.」
「…What?」
「What’s wrong with you? You can kill me if you get close enough, right? Even if I were a『magician type』, you can kill me if you can get close enough. Try it.」
「Hii…!?」
The Knights of the Kingsguard had the pathetic and fleeting hope that they could win if they just got close enough.
A total of sixty-eight of them, except for the old man, I kill them in three seconds.
◆◇◆◇◆
「So stupid, you should have just let the magician use their transfer magic and run away just as the Transference Sealing Ward was broken. There’s no way you could have beaten me.」
「…………I can’t believe it.」
The old man knelt there with a face as if he had given up on everything.
「……Do it.」
「Resolute. Good, I’ll kill you painlessly as a reward for choosing not to bother me…Oh, I forgot one thing.」
「There. The woman pretending to be dead at the back. You’re alive, aren’t you? You’re wasting your time, so get up.」
「What…?」
「…Hmmm. As expected of an executive of the Demon King’s Army, easily identified. Quite a feat.」
「Thank you very much.」
Yes.
The reason I first attacked the Kingsguard Knights, who should have been unworthy of attention, in preference to the warding artists, was because of this woman.
The old man in front of me is no small fry. From what I sense, he has an average status of over 3,000. He is superhuman enough for a human being.
…But this woman is not of the same caliber. Not as much as me of course. But I felt a stronger presence than any other human being present here.
Perhaps this woman is…
「How do you do,『Bloodthirdy General』Lean? I am the eleventh in the order of the Twelve Holy Apostles, and I am Mia, the『Heavenly Maiden』.」
…I knew it was the Twelve Holy Apostles.
I thought it was strange because only one of them showed an unusually strong reaction to magic sense.
Being 11th in the ranking, he was probably one of the successors to Asbal and Thrust, who were killed in the Demon King’s Army five years ago.
「T-Twelve Holy Apostles! It’s a pleasure to meet you……」
「Oh, I don’t need you anymore.」
「A”?」
I killed the old man.
「And? What’s a two-digit fish in the ranking of the Twelve Holy Apostles doing here? Did you come here to get killed by me?」
「No, of course not. I came here to have a little chat with you.」
「Ha?」
A chat?
There’s nothing to talk to humans about now. No, let’s kill her.
I’ll bring back one of the heads of the Twelve Holy Apostles.
「……There’s nothing to talk about. Sooner rather than later, you’ll die.」
「You’re barbaric, aren’t you? I’m still somewhat strong, though. I don’t think you should let your guard down, even if you are a vampire race under the protection of the moon.」
「Thanks for the advice. Oh, and, hey, you know what? Can you please stop that thing you were doing earlier?」
「What’s that?」
「The charm you’ve been using on me, of course.」
「…………」
This woman, ever since a while ago, has been casting charm magic, one of the mental magic spells, on me.
My magic defense is several times higher than hers, so I can play it easily, but it is no less unpleasant.
「…Have you noticed? I thought that brainwashing you in this way would make you a good asset, but it’s a shame.」
「You sly fox…」
I feel bad, let’s kill her.
It’s a shame because she’s beautiful, but it can’t be helped.
………
……………
What did I think just now?
Beautiful? Worthy? Why?
Ever since the vampire village was destroyed, I thought that the beauty or ugliness of people other than Yomi was less interesting than the shape of a pebble on the side of the road?
…Did I fall under the spell? No, no sign of magic since then.
Does that mean…Are you saying that you genuinely thought this woman was beautiful to me?
This me?
「Fufufu…You seem puzzled. It seems that you, too, have fallen in love with my beauty.」
「…You’re a narcissist.」
「No, it’s true. I am the most beautiful creature on earth. Whoever sees me is attracted to me, no matter who he or she is. That is the rule of this world.」
…I want to kill myself a little for being a little convinced, even though what he’s saying is a freaky narcissistic egomaniac.
…No, I’m not. I’m not fascinated by this woman’s face.
No, I’m not a sore loser…Something is different.
I’m less willing to attack this woman because………I think there is something more………I feel there is another factor………But I can’t figure it out.
「Well then, I will retreat for the day. If you can’t charm me, then there is no way I can beat you…Now, if you’ll excuse me.」
「Damn it! …I let her get away!」
Somehow I managed to regain control and attacked the woman.
But one step too late. The Twelve Holy Apostles, who called herself『Mia』escaped with the transfer magic item.
