"Well, I sucked blood from an ice bear, but I can't get any magic, can I?"

　We encountered an avalanche, but continued onward, fighting demons again and again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the midst of all this, there was one thing I had been secretly hoping for.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wondered if I could obtain the magic used by the demons.

　A large but strong fur-covered ice bear with pure white fur that moves quickly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That alone, of course, makes the ice bear strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it is not only its physical prowess that makes it dangerous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is because it can use magic or sorcery.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Ice Bear uses magic to send blocks of ice flying from its mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was surprised when I first saw it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a long-range attack from a large body moving at high speed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps it is more powerful than the Fontana family's ice spear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The [Ice Spear] is an attack magic that sends out sharp-edged icicles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ice spears are much bigger than the ice spears, and the chunks of ice flying at them are terrifying.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because attack magic was nothing but a threat in this snowy mountain where the footholds are bad.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I thought this might work.

　He thrusts his magic sword Norn against the body of the defeated ice bear and sucks its blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Norn sucked the blood from the ice bear's body as well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was able to suck it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So I thought that I would be able to make ice cubs fly from my mouth, but it didn't work out that way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, I can absorb blood, but not efficiently.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, I guess it's because I was originally a human and the quality of my blood is totally different from that of a bear monster, a demon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I could not get any magic or sorcery from the ice bear by sucking its blood, and my magic power increased only a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, I thought that I might have been able to get more magic power into my body if I had just eaten the meat of the ice bear after saying "Itadakimasu" (Thank you for the food).

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that there is no such a thing as a good deal.

"Well, it was the same with Valkyrie, so it's to be expected. I'm not too disappointed, am I?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Still, he had to make sure by sucking blood from the bodies of the demons he had defeated on several occasions for verification purposes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a result, he decided that he could not obtain new power from the blood of demons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, before that, he had thought about the possibility of strengthening himself with the blood of non-humans.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that did not happen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At that time, I sucked the blood of Valkyries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had succeeded in adding a new number, and now that I could use [recovery], I tried it out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would not hurt my heart to put a magic sword against anyone else, but it was hard to do it to a Valkyrie.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I still thought I should give it a try, so I did.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wondered if the magic sword Norn sucking Valkyrie's blood would allow me to use the magic that the horned Valkyrie could use.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it's just a test.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Valkyrie with horns can use many kinds of magic, some of which are useful and some of which are highly offensive.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I can use them, it means that they can be used by those whom I have named.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If that were to happen, society would be even more confused than it is now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So I had decided to return the blood to Valkyrie as soon as I could.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it was not possible, and the magical power did not increase much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because of this precedent, we thought that non-human blood would not be able to siphon power well.

"That means Ai's target is demon's blood, isn't it? Well, I didn't say that from the beginning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In addition to ice bears, there are also four-handed ice monkeys in these mountains.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They are also powerful enemies that use magic to send ice flying with their four arms.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　All of them were difficult to see in the snow, and yet they were troublesome because of their strong attacks and defenses.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To tell the truth, the men I brought with me as cavalry were of little use.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The only reason we were able to survive this long was because of my ability to use [recovery], Ian's strength, and the presence of Valkyries and Valkyries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ai was active among them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was dressed as usual in the snowy mountains, but he was holding a magic gun in his hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The gun, which makes not even a sound when fired, sends out magic bullets, which accurately hit the vital points on the bodies of the demons that appear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While Ian was fighting demons with force, Ai showed a different kind of strength by quietly and continuously defeating those who tried to use magic on him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Many of the cavalrymen were unfamiliar with Ai and may not have expected that the chairman of the council would be so strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason why Ai wanted to come all the way here was not to make me suck the demon's blood, nor to get materials from it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is the very demon itself that is of value.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's just up ahead, Master Alphonse. They are forming a herd just beyond this point."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And it seems that we have finally reached the demon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hearing Ai's words, everyone prepared for the capture of the demon.
