The sound of inorganic shoes echoed through the halls of the castle.
　Step by step on the once glorious marble floor, I head to my destination.

''Gasp!　I am Immortal General Dirkenyi.　My castle oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, full of fleshly decay!

　With the Kensei-ryu holy nail, you land through the core of a giant zombie that appeared in front of the lobby stairs.
　I climbed up the stairs while listening to the screams of my opponent, who I killed instantly, on my back.

''You were the one who destroyed Dilkenyi, weren't you?　I am Immortal General Korat Empor. I am Elder Vampy--

　He shot a holy silver bullet into the forehead of the pale skinned beauty that appeared in the hanging garden of the royal castle without question, silencing her.
　The ancient vampire crumbled to ashes with a smirk on his face, believing in his resurrection.

　I walked further inside the labyrinthine royal castle while cleaning up the crowd of zombies and lesser vampires.
　Or rather, it was actually a labyrinth.
　The destination was a myriad of intricate passages surrounded by mirrored walls.

I'm Mifer, the Immortal General. I am Mifer, the immortal general, master of the labyrinth. Now, I hope you will die wandering forever in this endless corridor of mirrors.

　Ignoring the mouthpieces coming from all directions, I put the holy silver gun into one of the mirrors, and all the mirrors shattered into pieces.

''Hiiaaaah!　Why, why, why?　Even my reflection in the mirror has disappeared........?

　While listening to the fading doomsday, I passed through the mirrored room that had been unraveled.
　Then I entered the audience room at the far end.
　The Immortal King, who should have been waiting here, was defeated first, so the king's throne is empty (because).
　So my business is next to it.

"....Who are you? You are.

　The woman who sat cross-legged on the throne where the queen was to sit stared at me suspiciously.
　Her skin, visible through the gaps in her black robes, was unnaturally white and had no human color.

''Ryouji Sakagagi. A passing otherworldly tripper. I'm here to tell you about the lost one today.

　The woman twitches her eyebrows, but she immediately gives a generous smile.

''Huh, I don't know what you're talking about but it looks like you're good enough to get past the Immortal General. Oh well, whoever you are, if you stand in the way of my revenge, you will die.

　An unfathomable scale of magical waves rose from the woman who sat up from her throne.
　With that alone, the audience room creaked with a mishap.

''This presence.......is it Lord of the Vampires class?''

　Lord of Vampires. As his name suggests, he is the King of Vampires.
　With the exception of the vampire true ancestor, who is a being beyond parallel dimensions, he is one of the highest class of power.
　He is an advanced undead that rivals the Immortal King.

But revenge, revenge, huh? Well, that's fine. I'll play with you for a bit, widow.
Bullshit, you little shit!

　If the No-Life King is the strongest undead in magic, vampires are the strongest undead in physics.
　Although they have many weaknesses, such as weaknesses in sunlight, inability to pass through flowing water, and a dislike of holy seals, they have a variety of special abilities, and their supernatural powers are more than enough to compensate for their weaknesses.
　It seems that the woman in front of me is the brain-powered type, and she's charging head-on at me without a plan.
　It's not a good sound, but if you describe it as an assault that exceeds the speed of sound from the initial speed of your step, you'll understand the extraordinary specifications.
　Vampires, especially lords, do not need to be disturbed by small tricks.
　They just go straight at you and blow you away. The opponent will die. It's simple is best.

　Well, the same goes for this one, which is unusual.
　You can easily avoid the clawing blows of the Lord's claws coming at you with invisible speed. While mastering its wrist and elbow joints, he dares to throw his back.
　At the same time as the Lord's woman's back was slammed into the stone pavement, an explosive sound rang out.

''Kahaha........!

　My judo technique, which used my monstrous strength against me, created a chain of collapses in the blink of an eye as my judo technique spread deadly cracks across the entire audience room around the fallen Lord like a ripple, and in the blink of an eye I created a chain of collapses.
　Humming and pivoting between the countless pieces of debris that poured down, they landed downstairs.
　On the other hand, the woman of the road has been trapped under the collapsed rubble, but when she thought her hand shot out of the way, she blew the stone pillar out of the way and got up.
　Although covered in dust, the woman of the road was unharmed.
　Her right hand, which should have been torn to shreds during the earlier throw, had also regenerated completely.
　As you can see, normal physical attacks don't make sense to a Lord of Vampires with super regenerative abilities.

''You're not just a human... what are you?''

　But the Lord's woman didn't call out "human customs for nothing" or be proud of her victory.
　She must have understood correctly what the earlier attack and defense meant.

　The attacks of vampires, not just Lord, were rough and coarse.
　An uninventive, forceful blow is the most efficient for a vampire with overwhelming physical strength, and can easily screw over a human's half-hearted techniques and magic.
　But even so, the otherworldly people are able to resist such monsters because they thoroughly exploit the vampire's weaknesses.
　It's the same logic that says humans should use guns and other long-range weapons, rather than the body techniques they've honed daily, if they want to resist a raging elephant.

　But I followed the speed of the road woman head-on, and even performed a throwing technique without being overwhelmed by the force.
　As you pointed out, this is not something an ordinary person can do.

''As I said before. I'm just a passing otherworldly tripper.

　I smiled back wryly, and the Lord woman's eyes narrowed in an emotionless voice, as if she wasn't expecting an answer.

'You're not going to answer me seriously, are you?
"I'm having a hard time finding an opponent who doesn't break in a normal fight, too. You're going to have to come along for the ride.

　I set it up from me.
　I hit him head-on, adding or subtracting about the same speed as the previous attack and defense.
　The foothold is very poor due to the rubble, but it still doesn't matter to me.

　As soon as I saw that the road woman couldn't dodge my straight right, I tried to catch her with my left hand.
　I may have been thinking of clenching my fist, but my punches never stopped, crushing the road woman's left hand into her heart without stopping.
　As I swung my fist as hard as I could, the Lord's woman's body couldn't withstand the impact and shattered into pieces.

"Well, that was too much.

　Of course, without much of a wait, the woman of the road will make a full regeneration.

''d*mn, this can't be happening...!　

　However, even the robe she was wearing could not be regenerated.
　There seemed to be some shame in exposing the limb, and the robe was restored as the Lord woman cowered and cast a spell.

'Sorry. I didn't mean to s*xually harass you.
Why would a being like you stand in my way?

　I bowed my head in case I should apologize, but the reply I got was anger at the unreasonableness.

'I have every right to get my revenge!　I have the right to take revenge against the people who took my son from me and turned me into this body through experimentation!　So please get out of my way!

　The Lord's woman's lips were unusually red as she screamed in a rage, fangs peeking out of her mouth.
　The fire of fierce determination burned in her red eyes.

''Such a world, let it be destroyed!

　The debris around him floats up as the magical waves of the Lord's magic power wave like flames scorching his body became visible.
　I felt bad about prolonging it any longer, so I couldn't help but scratch my cheeks with a plop.

''Okay, I'll stop playing with you.''
Play with me?　You've got to be kidding me!　I would have taken it easy on you before, and if I wanted to, I could have taken you in an instant--

　In the middle of his lines, without question, he took out the Holy Cross chain and threw a projectile.
　He bound the woman by a cancerous cord and instantly neutralized her.

"Huh. This, this chain........doesn't have any power!
I knew it was a little weird, you know?

　Crunchy.
　He smiled as he slowly walked up to the road woman and smiled as he would when he met a friend from yesteryear.

'Those wild zombies were attacking the ghosts and stuff, for some reason. It didn't mean anything.

　The woman raises her eyebrows at my line.

'Gone wild?　What do you mean, they were controlled by a NEU-RED guy--
'If you look closely, I found that ghost clothing and zombie clothing tended to be different in culture. So I wondered if there were some other rules for ghosting and zombie-ing... As it turned out, that prediction was half true and half wrong.

　Ignoring the Lord's woman, he presented the origins of the Ghosts as an answer to the question Old Lata had told him about.

The ghosts are the remains of the king(s) country(s) people who were killed 3(s) 0(s) years ago and slept in the depths of the earth. And the zombies are the emperor's vassals who were killed by the ghosts yesterday and today. Is this understanding correct?　Lord Sheila Estillia, the Immortal General.

　This time the Lord's woman - Eryk's mother's eyes widen in astonishment.

'Why that name!　Not a single person who knows me should be alive!
'Yeah, so I heard from the dead. Or should I say, it was all of the (...) members (...) dead who knew your name...?

　I cowered my shoulders to show Sheila, who spat at me, and then I began to tell her what happened.

''To begin with, I heard that the imperial library is now a place that no imperial subjects are allowed to enter. I asked the Sun God's Priestess again, and she didn't even know that there was a librarian there, let alone a forbidden library. In other words, Sheila Estillia. That would mean that you're also someone from thirty years ago.

　Sheila is silent on my point.
　Then I will have to tell it from my own mouth, an outsider.
　Sheila and Eriq no, the tragedy that befell the people of this city.
