Vampire Count Jussio

"The Great. Great. Give your blood to the sovereign of death.
　Great. Great. Offer your offal to the sovereign of death.
　Cut off the heads of the children of Mina and others. Cleanse the earth with their blood.
　Use your head as a banner for the sons of death.
　Peel off the skin and decorate the bones.
　Let the sobs of the children of Minna be heard in the world.

　I hear the ghosts (ghost) divas singing.
　As the ghost divas sing, the skeletons tap the bones.
　The vampires dance to the sound of the bones as they carapace.
　The vampires are the nobility of death.
　They have gathered here in Maudgal to celebrate the return of the great mortal sovereign.
　I walk through the great hall where the feast is being held.
　A zombie clown walks happily past in front of me.
　I look to my right and see a rookie zombie girl with her own head on a plate, pouring blood into the cup of the nobles.
　I look to my left side and see a stern-faced dead spirit patrolling the area.
　I look over the sumptuous table and see the captured angels being skewered and their flesh carved up.
　The feast of death had just begun.

'Sir Jussio,'

　We are stopped as we are walking.
　I turn around and see one beautiful blond-haired, blue-eyed boy and several women in brightly colored costumes approaching.
　The boy would appear to be a white-skinned human of about ten years old if only by appearance.
　But I know that his appearance is false.

'This is Prince Zasha. It's been a long time.

　I bow to the boy I called out to.
　His name is Zasha, Prince of Red Jade.
　He is the younger brother of the princess.

'Ah, it's been a long time. It's a pleasure to meet you. My little angel slayer.

　Prince Zasha laughs meaningfully.

'My lord lord, play your part. I only happen to have been overcome.'

　I get in trouble for being called an angel killer.
　It just happens to work.

"Sir Jussio," he said, "don't be so modest. "Sir Jussio, don't be modest. You can be proud of yourself, but you're your sister's favorite.

　When Prince Zasha laughs, the women with him laugh too.
　When he laughs, he can see fangs from the women's mouths.
　Perhaps she is a nobleman or a noblewoman.
　Maybe she is Prince Zasha's mistress.

''I'm sorry. Duke Zasha. I have to go. I must return to the Princess soon.
'Well, that's a shame. I'll see you soon, Sir Jussio.

　Prince Zasha leaves.
　I look away from his back and go to my Lord, the Princess.
　I had to hurry back.
　Because I heard a sudden call earlier.
　As a vampire, I am spiritually connected to the Princess.
　Normally, there's nothing in particular, but in an emergency, no matter how far away I am, I can hear the call.
　The princess was supposed to be in the king's room where I had an audience as before.
　When I entered the king's room from the great hall, the princess was already there.
　Many people have gathered around her.
　Many of them are vampire knights (vampire knights) who are a part of her entourage.
　The princess's entourage must have both looks and strength.
　Something is wrong with those people.
　Something seems to have happened to them?

Here they come. Jucio.

　The princess notices me coming and looks at me.

''Princess? You wanted to see me, sir? What could have happened?

　I go to the princess and put my knees on the floor and bow my head.

'Yes, I called for you, Jussio. It looks like a lost bird has entered the house.

　The princess smiles meaningfully.

'Are you a little bird?'
That's right. That's right, Jucio. You're a lost little bird. Well, I'd better get going. Zarbut. Brief these men.

　When the princess says this, a vestments-clad person comes out.
　The person wearing the vestments has a hood over his eyes and cannot see his face clearly.
　However, he had one huge eye that could be seen clearly from within the hood.
　The One-Eyed One is the Lord Zarbute, the High Priestess of the Maggot Flies.
　He is also the second in line of the Princess' seat in the Son of the Great Lord of Death.
　Because he is called the High Priest of Flies, his entire body is clothed with numerous flies and has a strong smell of death.
　Even the princess, who loves beautiful people, usually does not want to associate with this person.
　Since this person is coming out, something very bad has happened.

Then let me explain to you on behalf of your sister. Then let me explain on behalf of your sister. It seems he has concealed himself by some means, but I cannot deceive my father's eyes. I have been ordered to arrest him. And I want you to capture the intruder.

　As the monk explained, there was a stir among the people in attendance.

Now, you have heard the truth. We don't know who you are, but we can make you regret that we entered the city. If possible, let's take them alive, if only a few are left so that they don't know we are on to them. Well, if we can't, we'll have to kill them.

　The princess smiles lecherously.
　She looks like she's thinking about how to hurt the intruder.

'Well, already. My little flies are already looking for you. I want you to move too.





Dark Knight Kroki

　The City of Death, Modgal, is a city shrouded in a ghostly fog.
　The city is as large as the Republic of St. Renaria, which I've been to before.
　I walk through it all while freaking out.
　The figure is in the form of a dark knight so that I can enter the battle at any time.
　We are already in the middle of the enemy here.
　I can hear ghosts singing from the fog.
　Skeletons and zombies are dancing in front of you.
　Even the grim, skeletal-faced Wraiths seem to be having some fun.
　The carnival is in full swing right now in Modugal.

Kuroki-sama, ....... I'm scared ....... I can't wait to get out .......

　The Dark Fairy Tiber in my bosom is trembling.
　It's natural. The miasma is dense.
　The miasma is a dense miasma, and if you don't protect it with your own magical power, you might already be dead.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.
　That's why it seems to make a creaking sound every time you walk.
　The buildings in the city are also bones.
　I feel that the skulls of various living creatures, which are the pillars of the corners, are looking at me.
　Where they are not bones, there is a blue glowing stone sticking out of them.
　Something like souls come and go in and out of that stone.
　It's just like a dead country.

I'm sorry, Tiber. If you're scared, you can wait outside.
Oh, but I can't. But I can't. I can't do it without Kuroki-sama.

　Tiber says, sounding like he's about to cry.
　Is he really going to be okay?

'More importantly, are you sure you're okay? Lord Kuroki!

　Tiber looks at his hands and says.
　In his own hand is an incense burner to keep the spirits away.
　This incense burner is filled with kifi and has a nice smelling smoke in it.
　Kiffi is a magical incense that protects you from evil spirits and other things.
　When you burn it, it has the effect of hiding from the undead and keeping them away from you.
　As long as this incense burner is in place, the undead in this area should not notice them.

Maybe they'll be fine. ''Maybe it's okay, Tibel. After all, it was specially made by that great witch.

　Kiffi was concocted by Herkert.
　Herkert can concoct not only medicine, but also magical incense.
　There are many types of magical incense, which can make you sleep or heal you.
　For this reason, those who can brew incense are valued.
　There is even a profession of perfumers as well as apothecaries.
　Myself and Tiber walked through Modugal.
　A zombie with a lit candle patrols right in front of us, but we don't notice them.

This time you've done it again: ....... But I don't know if you're aware of it or not, do you?

　I recall the words of the clown.
　The clown, who is a follower of Kuna, is acting differently.
　I don't know what he's doing, but I have a feeling he's going to be okay.
　And they don't seem to be aware of themselves at the moment either.
　A fly passes by in the sky above us.
　The incense burner also has an insect repellent, so the flies can't get to them.
　And this fly was probably sent by the high priest of the maggots.
　I recall the knowledge I had researched about the children of Zarxis beforehand.
　The High Priestess of the Magpie Flies is a god of corruption and pestilence, just like Zafarada, the Princess of Fresh Blood.
　Those who receive the favor of this god will have their bodies corrupted and will have the honor of becoming the nursery of the magpie fly.
　And he tries to spread the love of God to more and more people.
　However, there is something malicious about the fact that most of this favor is directed towards humans.
　I look at the undead around me. Most of them are former humans.
　Perhaps they are targeting Elyos' household.
　They may be targeting elves and dwarves as well, but since their numbers are small, only humans stand out.

''Kuroki-sama. The vampires (vampires) are nearby.

　Tiber lets me know in a whisper.
　Tiber's ability to sense you is higher than you are. Even at a distance where you can't see them with your eyes, you can sense their presence.
　And the incense burner cannot deceive the vampire (vampire) up to its eyes.
　Therefore, they hide in the shadows of the building.

'Well, what should I do?　It's not like we're just walking around like this: ....... Shall we capture the vampires (vampires), etc. and pull information out of them?

　I'm currently just walking through Maudgal.
　We haven't been able to gather any information at all.
　Normally, we should head to the central building. That's where we can get the information we need.
　However, that building seems to be the most dangerous place in this Modugal.
　Even if they have an incense burner, there's a good chance they'll notice us.
　That's why I decided to capture the vampire (vampire) instead.

''Kuroki-sama~. Please don't~. It's dangerous now~. We should leave it to the clowns~

　Tiber stops him, looking like he's about to cry.
　Why does Tiber say it's dangerous? In fact, it seems that there are other intruders besides us.
　The clowns figured it out from the movement of the flies.
　Honestly, how can you tell by the movement of the fly? I want to ask him.
　But it's very tiring to hear it out of that clown. So I didn't.
　And I can't read that intruder's movements. So I stay away from the center and watch it happen.
　This is why we are forced to watch the creepy carnival.

'I know, I know. Tiber. It's hard to just watch and see what's going on.

　Tiber gives him a relieved look when he says that.
　I don't think he knows what a vampire (vampire) is, unless he's a very close associate.
　Waiting for the clown is tiring.
　He's exploring something alone.
　I don't know what it is, though.
　That was when he was thinking about it.

''Kuroki-sama~. Apparently, something has happened~

　Tiber announces an emergency.
　Indeed, something is wrong with Maudgal.
　The fog that envelops this city begins to move like a living thing.
　I expand my senses.
　If something is going on, I should at least be able to sense the signs.
　And you can feel the presence of a battle nearby.
　The battle is taking place in the air.
　Therefore, you can see it just by peeking out of the building for a bit.
　A ghostly fog is stirring, but you can manage to see it.
　Those with glowing wings are fighting against a ghostly knight (Spectre Knight) and a vampire knight (Vampire Knight).

'Is that an angel?'

　The ones with wings must be angels.
　Perhaps they are the Hand of Alfos.
　The number of angels is four: three male angels and one female angel.
　In contrast, there are more than 40 ghost knights (spectral knights) and vampire knights (vampire knights).
　The undead side is dominant in numbers, but the angels are not to be outdone.
　The angelic race, whether higher or lower, are good at light and healing magic.
　They are a difficult opponent to fight against the undead, who are not good at light and healing magic.
　Normally, this is an opponent for angels to win even if their numbers are large.
　However, both ghost knights (spectral knights) and vampire knights (vampire knights) are still alive and well.
　This land works in favor of the undead, that's why the angels seem to be unable to defeat their opponents.

'It's not good at this rate ....... If the sons of death come out, even the angels are done for.

　The children of Zarxis should be stronger than the angels.
　So they would need to quickly defeat the undead and run away.
　But they can't seem to do that.
　The Ghost Knight (Spectre Knight) is also a vampire knight (Vampire Knight) who skillfully fights to keep his opponents on the run.
　One vampire knight (Vampire Knight) in particular moves particularly well among them.
　With its white bat wings, the vampire knight (Vampire Knight) has nullified the magic of the angelic light.
　Perhaps even a single horseman could cross over with an angel.
　It seems that the angels are having quite a hard time because of that white winged vampire knight (Vampire Knight).

'Tibel. Let me help you.

　When I say that, I take the magic sword in my hand.
　Then Tiber makes a surprising face.

'No good~. Let's ignore the angels~'

　He shook his head at the words.

'No, they came out of the central building. Maybe they've figured out what Zarxis is up to. The angels aren't on our side, but if we help them, we might find out what they're up to later. Tiber, I'm sorry, but you have to stay away. You should be able to hide without the censer.

　The angels and Nargol are enemies.
　But Zarxis is a common enemy of those angels.
　So we should cooperate now.
　Extinguish the fire of the incense burner.
　Tibel doesn't like the smoke from the incense burner as much as the insects do. So the incense burner is meaningless.
　But the faeries are good at hiding.
　It's a good idea to have a good time with them. The miasma (miasma fever) is not a problem.

It's a good idea to be able to use it. It's dangerous~. It's dangerous~" "Koona-sama will be scolded later.

　Tiber is still trying to keep him back.
　But there was not a moment to lose.
　I flew through the air, leaving Tiber behind to keep him back.
