81 Infringement 4 (2/2)

It would be tomorrow morning, the moment the vampire was stuck and the guards would switch.

As I was breathing down and letting the blessings circulate in my body to restore some of my condition, I suddenly felt a cold rush down my spine. You raise your face slightly and brace your body to break through the restraints at any time. I put on the armor of blessing that I had saved around my body.

My instincts were ringing an alarm bell. A strong hint of darkness is approaching. The ogre guarding you doesn't seem to notice anything.

No sound. No scent. Just an evil presence approaching.

It's not magic. This sensation is the result of the unique ability of vampires mutated from the Flesh Man.

There was no sound. The three demons that had been guarding me moaned softly. Their eyes widened slightly and instantly lost their light, and they fell down.

Dell opened his eyes wide and stood up on his feet. Vampires are monsters, and even a good match for a demon knight can never be too careful.

My body shakes. I shiver.

From the shadows, I saw the blood-red eyes of a vampire with a bit of hair looking at me. Her skin, which had been black, reverted to its original color as if the erosion had receded.

His appearance was the same as when I had seen him before, but the sense of intimidation and darkness I felt was beyond anything I had felt before.

For a moment, he even forgot about his target, the Demon Lord. Even for Dell, who had no direct grudge against vampires, the thing in front of him was a monster that absolutely had to be killed.

The monster said to Dell, who stared at it with murderous intent and no voice.

”I'm going to kill Lynell. I'll get you out, but you have to help me.

I killed too much. It was so hot. My vision was dull and flickering.

My head was boiling. I took a deep breath and kept my composure.

The fever was probably a vampire instinct. It's what makes vampires such horrible monsters. He was still a lowly vampire, so his instincts should not be as strong, but they were like a flame, as fierce as a storm, and it would take time to suppress them completely.

I had just drunk blood and was feeling thirsty. I knew I'd made a mistake.

A mistake in procedure. I should have found Senri for some reason before I sucked Monica's blood. If Senri had been there, I would have been a little more calm.

It's easy to give in to your urges, but that's the first step to becoming a monster. The fact that I was able to kill three demons in an instant, even though it was a surprise attack, is proof that my power is growing rapidly. I can't allow myself to foresee any more.

I grabbed the bars and threw them off by force. Enter the spacious prison.

I've come to save you, but the demise knight's gaze is filled with murderous intent.

A slender, scarred body. Brown, strong-willed eyes. Blessed armor around his body, keeping me away. But now I could probably hit this knight with that armor.

My vampire instincts are telling me to kill the knight in front of me. But I can't do that. Even if he wants to kill me, I can't kill him. As long as Senri believes in me, I have to respond.

I want to beat myself up for thinking that I could save the demon knight before Senri came and get his blood as a reward for killing Lynel.

The demon knight didn't say anything. But I'm gonna go ahead and nail him.

”Yeah, I know the question. I don't really want to do this either. But the enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?　Let's kill each other some other time. Lynell's strong, and honestly, I can't handle him on my own. Maybe even on your own.

I don't want you on my side completely. Because that's impossible anyway.

So I'll deflect that. This demon knight was captured in combat with Lynel's army. Its target should be the Demon Lord Rynell.

The obstructive iron ball on his toe. Grab the huge chain and lift it up. As I grabbed it with both hands and tried to put some strength into it, I realized something important.

Oh no, ......, it's not a full moon today.

I failed. I should have waited for the full moon, when my power would be at its peak, to counterattack. My normal self would have definitely noticed this, but apparently I was more pissed off than I thought I was.

I put all my energy into it. The chain seemed to be specially made and quite sturdy, but even so, when I continued to exert myself beyond the limit, I heard a small sound. A louder sound came from my arm, and a dull pain rushed through me, but I didn't care. Twisting as hard as he could, the chain popped off with a dull thud.

The end knight said in a low voice.

”...... There must be a key.

”............ Oh, you're absolutely right. I didn't notice. d*mn it, .......

Your instincts are telling you to use your powers. It's eating away at my thoughts.

I'm very agitated right now. You could say I'm frustrated. I feel like I could sink into the water for a few years.

I'll go through the dead bodies of the guards I killed, find the key, and throw it to the demon knight.

I'm scared. The instincts of a vampire are so scary. I'm afraid they might not even know we're fused.

I felt like throwing it all away and running away now, but I couldn't do that. I've taken too many risks. The die has already been cast.

If I run now, I'll probably get in the habit of running. That's not the freedom I want.

The end knight rises. He's a lower-ranking vampire, taller and better built than I am.

He must have been in captivity for a long time, but there's nothing unsettling about his appearance. How dare Rainer's army choose to capture a Knight of the End? It's not just bravery, it's stupidity. ...... If I were in their shoes, I'd kill them for sure.

The demise knight man says.

”I need a weapon.

”It's in the treasury. You should also look for some better clothes.

If I may say so, it's not good for such a macho man to be moving around in raggedy clothes.

Now, let's get this over with before night falls and Linel's army realizes what's going on.
