Chapter 364
[ Episode 364. ]
Angela, who subdued Bathory, disarmed and approached me.
“When the hell did you become so strong? I knew I was there, but I didn’t expect it to be this much.”
“What happened to Bathory?”
“It was properly dyed.”
Angela grabbed Bathory’s hair and lifted it up. It looked a bit cruel, but from the perspective of Angela, who was betrayed, she must have endured a lot.
“I have characteristics that no other direct descendant has.”
Angela, who suddenly started explaining, manipulated the blood around her.
“Originally, a vampire’s blood magic can only be used with their own blood. But I can control any outside blood. Thanks to that, it was easy to dye Bathory.”
“Is this a characteristic of Angela?”
“Maybe it’s because I’m mixed-race? Or maybe it’s because of you. haha.”
Is it an ability that came after I evolved?
Perhaps Bathory was unaware of Angela’s characteristics and stained the surroundings with blood. If I had known, I would have used that technique with a little more care.
“That’s why I followed you even when I thought you were bluffing. I thought I could win alone without your help.”
“Adrias is strong.”
After tidying up the surroundings, Vivian murmured.
At her words, Angela glanced at Vivian and smiled.
“Okay, admit it. To be honest, I couldn’t handle the undead I summoned earlier. What the hell is he?”
“It’s my secret weapon.”
Nickel was…….
I wondered if I could win in a one-on-one fight.
Maybe I should use my current abilities and special skills in duplicate?
“Now that we’ve solved this, let’s move on to the next goal.”
“Oh oh? Anywhere else?”
“Let’s go hit the nearest direct descendant from here. Depending on how many direct descendants you subjugate before this news spreads, the time will be shorter.”
“I don’t mind if it takes a long time?”
“I care. I have a lot of work to do.”
As long as the Horsemen of the Apocalypse were resolved, there was no big deal right away, but the emperor was concerned.
I heard that the imperial palace was empty, but it was by no means an ordinary thing for him to move on his own.
‘I asked Evan to find out what was going on, but …….’
It was right to solve the work here quickly so that he could move at any time.
“Sorry. But, after becoming a queen, I will be free, so I can follow you around then.”
“You don’t have to follow me.”
Vivian opened her eyes and answered immediately.
Then, Angela looked at Vivian with a look on her face.
“what. Are you two like that?”
“that’s right.”
Vivian responded promptly.
It was a bit ambiguous to refute that answer, so I had no choice but to listen.
“I’m sorry. Adrias Cromwell is already on my list.”
“doesn’t care.”
“What does it matter?”
“It doesn’t matter to me whether you steamed or not.”
“Hmmmm, let’s get going now.”
When time was delayed due to an unexpected problem, I hurriedly intervened between the two.
“okay. Let’s talk about this issue again later. how is it?”
“I have nothing to say.”
……It seemed like it would take a little more time.
**
Angela used the subjugated bathory to find close direct descendants.
“Because Bathory is the strongest guy here, things are easy.”
A total of three direct descendants were found.
They all succeeded in subduing them in an instant.
“No. Is this all because of ourselves? Hi-Hi.”
“Thanks to Angela’s character. I didn’t know that subjugation would happen so quickly.”
“okay? You don’t have to float the child like that!”
Fuck!
Her hand patted my back in embarrassment. How many vampires have you killed with that hand…if you’re aware.
When I saw Angela, who spoke to herself and was embarrassed by herself, I thought that the impression she had was very different from the one I knew.
Originally, he had a cold and scary impression, but in reality he was so lively.
‘More than that……About 10 people left now?’
Among them, except for a few who are particularly strong, you will be able to subdue them as easily as the current three.
By the way, thanks to Angela’s characteristics, the process of subjugation itself was shortened, so I was able to shorten the time much more than I expected.
Perhaps by now, other direct relatives would have been in an emergency, but Angela’s power, which had already subjugated four people, including Bathory, quickly became the strongest force.
“Are these my kids now? Now, everyone, go and do your thing.”
All ordinary vampires who had been subjugated under the direct line became Angela’s. She gave the order to keep an eye on the other members of the immediate family and looked back at me with a pleased expression.
“Hehe. Good good. But I have a question.”
“Please speak.”
“Can you become a queen by absorbing all your immediate descendants?”
“yes.”
“But why hasn’t anyone tried until now?”
“There are cases where you don’t know, like Angela, and even if you know, it doesn’t mean you didn’t do it.”
In fact, there were also direct relatives who did not know this method.
In the first place, it was quite a long time by human standards not too long ago, but since the Queen existed, no one would have thought of trying such an outrageous method.
‘Because direct descendants are generally lazy.’
Even in the game, if the meeting hadn’t been behind the scenes, it would have been peaceful for a few hundred years without anything happening.
Returning to Angela’s place after a full day, we decided to take a little break as we were busy.
“Are there any uninvited guests?”
When we got near the cabin, Angela smiled intently.
“The news is fast. I didn’t think you’d noticed already.”
Well, the goal has been achieved anyway.
I also secretly gathered mana in the presence of vampires that I felt around me.
Certainly, with Angela and Vivian this time around, it’s convenient that my turn to draw the sword doesn’t come.
‘Shadow bondage.’
As if they thought they hadn’t been caught yet, the three vampires who had been hiding there were still enchanted.
Tuduk!
However, the magic was soon cut off.
However, the time for Angela and Vivian to approach was created with just that moment of time.
Fuck!
“Heuk!”
The vampire hit by Angela’s fist collapsed, coughing up blood. Soon after, Vivian also hacked up one of the vampires…
“Die!”
The other guy approached me.
“die? who? you?”
“Oops?”
I lightly created a shadow bullet and pierced the opponent’s forehead. The bullets that flew without a sound rotated and advanced without resistance.
‘It’s good.’
In the meantime, I had been training hard on magic, but it was nice to be able to use it properly this time. The sword came out first because I had only gone through so many rough things.
“this. These are the children from Vladimir.”
Angela looked at the dead vampire and murmured.
Vladimir was known as the most powerful vampire in Lucifer Castle, but he was so indolent that he did not fall for the tricks of the meeting.
“I don’t think it’s because of our move… is it because of the two of you?”
Angela looked at me and Vivian and said.
I don’t know what exactly it was for, but it didn’t mean much as it was something that had to be subjugated anyway.
“The next target, then, will be him.”
“Vladimir is…”
Angela tilted her head in a slightly less confident voice than she had shown before.
“Can we deal with you later?”
“The stronger the opponent, the quicker you have to deal with it. As long as we move first this time, the opponent can subjugate other direct lineages and increase their power.”
“Ah, yes. He’s already strong, but if his power grows…”
Angela trembled as if she didn’t want to imagine it.
“Let’s go destroy it right now.”
“We are not vampires.”
Vivian spoke softly to Angela.
“You need to rest.”
“Then I will take them alone. With the power of the five direct descendants, you can hunt Vladimir.”
Angela looked at me as if asking for my consent.
Actually, I didn’t need a break. The reason why I came back was to look at the dynamics of the other faction and to figure out who was going to fight first.
But if Vladimir’s minions came first like this, there’s no need to wait for a cause.
“Does Vivian need a break?”
“no.”
At Vivian’s prompt reply, Angela put on an absurd expression.
“what! That’s different from what you just said!”
“When Adrias says you need to rest, you are right. It wasn’t that I needed to rest.”
Angela’s mouth fell open as Vivien spoke with an impudent face.
“Heh heh heh…….”
“Your laughter is colorful, Angela. Anyway, now that this has happened, it’s okay to attack the direct descendant of Vladimir.”
The plan, which was scheduled for at least a week, went much faster than expected. Angela’s characteristics, situation, and everything were following my plan.
“Let’s go right now.”
**
“Vladimir!”
Vladimir frowned at his subordinate’s fuss. He did not like these passionate feelings very much.
“Calm down. What’s going on?”
“sorry. Stop at the sudden news…”
“Okay, tell me.”
“Batori and Durion Vostos Gnarion of the West have all been killed.”
Vladimir couldn’t understand his subordinate’s words for a moment. It was partly because the other person’s words were not conveyed properly because they were too urgent, but it was also something that I had never thought of.
“again. slowly.”
“Sorry. Together with the humans Angela brought in a little while ago, I subjugated all the direct descendants of the west.”
“Subjugation?”
who who Subjugation?
Vladimir collected his thoughts without speaking. He, who had been enjoying an indolent life, couldn’t turn his head quickly.
“Angela… Bathory?”
“Not only Bathory, but also Durion Vostos and Gnarion to the west have all been attacked.”
After glaring at his subordinate for a moment as he repeated the same words, Vladimir sighed and stood up.
“Are the humans really that strong, or could it be that Angela hid it?”
“Anyway, humans are suspicious. If it wasn’t so, I wouldn’t be able to proceed straight away like this…”
“That’s right, too.”
Vladimir smiled lightly.
Even though Angela did something unexpected, he wasn’t nervous or anxious at all.
“I’ll have to contact the other guys first.”
“I will contact you right away.”
As soon as his subordinate disappeared from the spot, Vladimir slowly moved on. Vladimir, who hadn’t seen the act of walking in a long time, warmed up slowly.
“You’re doing quite a bit of fun, Angela.”
Vladimir didn’t know what Angela was doing with the humans back from the continent. I didn’t even know that she had been betrayed, and in fact, I didn’t even know she existed until she returned to Lucifer Castle.
‘I haven’t thought about it for a while, but the queen has been away for quite some time.’
It’s been a few years… I think it’s been over a hundred years…
Vladimir thought it over and felt it wasn’t bad. It wasn’t bad to aim for the king’s seat.
He was not at all impatient when he heard that Angela had subjugated four direct vampires. It was partly because he was lazy, but also because he had confidence in himself.
“King… not so bad…”
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
My self-talk was drowned out by a huge roar.
At the same time, feeling the mighty flow of magic power rushing around, Vladimir slowly opened his mouth.
“her?”
It was clearly not vampire magic.
It was shady and muddy, but pure magic.
“human?”
As his doubts spread, a groaning sound erupted once more, and the side wall of the place he was in collapsed.
“Are you Vladimir?”
A cloud of dust blew, but the magic power spreading in all directions blew even that away.
A man in black was soon revealed and was looking at Vladimir.
“Time is running out, so let’s finish quickly.”
