50 CHAPTER XX: TRAP (1/2)

It's a nice house, Cainusi thought without changing his expression.

It was reasonably spacious, well furnished, with plenty of places to hide, and best of all - there were no houses nearby.

The secret to hunting vampires is how to keep them from doing anything. In order to destroy the undead, who are far more powerful than humans in every way, it is essential to take careful measures.

The difference between them is enormous. No matter how many muscles an ordinary person builds or how many fighting techniques he learns, he will never be able to match that monster.

Only a blessed demise knight or someone who has received an equivalent curse can stand up to that abominable monster with brute force.

If the original necromancers had been able to eliminate the undead's weaknesses, humans would have been reduced to nothing more than frightened hangers-on. Or perhaps there would have been ...... vampires in the position that humans are in today.

Fortunately, today's vampires have many weaknesses. The history of man is a history of battles with the undead.

The crossed swords are extremely precise reproductions of the crosses that vampires fear. Bombs laced with garlic and silver dust, and wooden stakes shaped for ease of use. Mail made of holy water and silver to simulate the armor of blessing.

The undead extermination tools that have been refined and developed can destroy a certain amount of undead as if they were pests.

The undead are to be destroyed. There are no exceptions.

They understand language and can use human tools. Pity them and they'll take advantage. Vampires, in particular, have the power to ”infect” the weakest of the undead, the zombie, at will. If you let them, they can multiply far more easily than humans.

This target is a tricky one.

The target's vampiric characteristics are different from the norm, but more than anything, he is being guarded by a former Knight of the End. It's no wonder Epe of Annihilation asked Cainusi to help him.

Cainusi and Arbatos are vampire hunters who specialize in the pursuit of vampires. If the other party is a member of the Knights of the End, and knows all about how the Knights of the End chase vampires, then it is impossible to catch up with them by ordinary means.

Your opponent is on his guard now that he has the Night Crystal. Tonight will decide the outcome.

It was a full moon tonight. This is when vampires are at their most powerful. But that's why they can be so careless. It doesn't matter much to Kainushi if the lesser vampires are a little stronger.

It was fortuitous that he could read his target's next move. It's also tricky to have memories of your human life.

That fearsome monster still thinks he's human, poor thing. What a tragedy.

The lord, who seemed to be his father, gladly responded to Kainushi's threats.

The carefully prepared house looked unchanged at first glance, but it had turned into a fortress against vampires. Or perhaps it should be called an execution site rather than a fortress.

Vampires' weaknesses are often fatal. Even if you're a bit clever, once you trap them, it's over. If there is an opening, you can collapse the trap and annihilate them at once.

If you want to kill a vampire, you have to do everything you can. That's the nature of vampire hunting.

I missed once. The circumstances were bad. But not the second time. It wasn't just the vampires who learned from the first engagement.

Hide yourself in the depths of the house and wait for your prey to strike. If the lord had followed Cainusi's orders, he would appear soon.

And the time had come.

The key is unlocked, and the sound of the door quietly opening continues. The sound of small footsteps coming straight towards you. You don't tense up, you just lay low like a shadow.

Without taking action, just accept the vampire. You have to lock yourself in the room completely.

The vampire's power is severely limited indoors. Vampires need a room out of the sun to sleep, so they'll come to this place.

They wouldn't think Kainushi was lurking. If they know, they have no reason to come here.

His body odor is masked by a special herb. He is on his guard. There's no danger of being noticed from outside the room.

Her lips twist into a deep smile as she waits for the hunt. Then the door to the room where Kainushi was hiding was thrown wide open.

What emerged was just as Kainushi had imagined.

However, the being that was supposed to accompany him was not there.

The silver-haired, purple-eyed treasured child of Annihilation stepped into the room without hesitation and shouted to Kainushi, who could not see him behind the desk.

There is no point in waiting. The end is ............ not coming.

They know. I'm not trying to trick you.

Apparently, things have changed a lot from what he had imagined. Kainushi rose from the shadows and looked at the naive princess with a scowl.

§

Senri Sylvis did not know much about vampire hunting. But he knew that he was a fearsome opponent.

In the past, when the Knights of the End had few members and the use of blessings was not as clear as it is now, the Knights of the End and vampire hunters had a cooperative relationship.

In the event you're looking for the best way to get the most out of your business, then you're going to want to take a look at the following tips.

In front of the second class knight, the man who called himself Kainushi did not show a single sign of agitation.

Did he come to surrender? Or negotiate? Fine, I'm only here for you. If you surrender quietly, I'll let the vampire go.

”............ Don't be ridiculous.

He frowned and glared at the unidentifiable man.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. The man in front of her is not that naive. At the very least, Senri is not pure enough to believe a man who has lied to her once.

As Senri glared at him, Kainushi gave a small sigh and looked around. The pillar clock indicated that it was midnight. There were still a few hours until morning.

You are here because the Baron betrayed you. ...... You are a foolish man. It's ...... a felony to protect a dead man, even if he is your son. Don't you want your house?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I don't know what you're talking about.” There were a few things he wanted to say, but without provocation, Senri turned a blind eye.

Rudolph Fomet called Senri over and told him about the Kainushi. He then entrusted Senri with End's affairs.

Senri had no idea how important it was for a nobleman to keep his family alive. But there was definitely a father-son affection there.

She thought about running away, but she couldn't take that option.

The man in front of him was chasing too fast, too accurately. If I don't kill him here, I won't be able to deal with him if he teams up with the Demise Knight or other vampire hunters.

”The corpse of a nobleman becomes a powerful undead. There's a saying. It's a myth, but that's why in most countries, nobles are required to be cremated. If they find out the body's been washed up, Baron Fomet will be finished. That was my advice, but ...... it's unavoidable.

”............

As soon as he said that, Cainusi suddenly looked at him quizzically. I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Why are you taking the side of that vampire? I don't think you've really bonded with him. It's completely unreasonable.

”......

You've done your duty when you gave him your blood. Don't tell me you're going to watch him forever?　That man doesn't have a life. An undead-hunting demise knight turning his sword on me instead of a vampire?

What an abominable man.

Perhaps verbal distraction is one of his tactics. But his words were right on target with Senri's concerns.
