83. That…was possible…
Woowook!
Lord Drettnor’s heart, let his sealing orb pierce.
Shaaa!
Red energy began to rise along the blade of the dagger.
It was the power of the blood Drettnor had accumulated over the years.
And Drettnor, who had lost all of its power.
“Ahhhh…”
He grew old rapidly, and eventually changed his name almost like a mummy.
Lord Orhel, who was watching the scene, shook his head.
“They said they were confident……You really did it, did that?……Haha, Mr. Wow.”
In fact, dealing with Drettnor in such a confined space was an act close to suicide.
The power of Drettnor, which has the deadly poison of poisonous blood, was just as dangerous.
Even the same vampire lord himself was reluctant.
‘I was thinking of getting him properly sewn up and then killing him outside.’
The wind blows, and there’s plenty of room to escape even if you smoke poisonous smoke.
If such conditions were not met, even Orhel could not guarantee victory.
Most surprising of all was complete immunity to toxin.
‘Did you eat boiled manticore meat…’
That’s just the way it was said. Boiling and eating manticore meat didn’t give you that kind of ability.
If that were the case, Manticores might have gone extinct long ago.
Of course, there were too many factors to be wary of other than the poison dance in confronting Drettnor, one of only five vampire lords in the world.
For example, the breastplate made of dragon bones.
All of those things were obstacles.
and……
‘Especially his snake-like movements… that’s also a really nasty part.’
That normal-looking human bastard did it so easily.
Other humans couldn’t see it, but he could see it.
What happened in that hazy poison fog?
‘Obviously, he almost stopped moving, but reacted explosively at the right timing, right?…’
That is when there is an overwhelming difference in power.
It was something you could do when your opponent looks ridiculous.
Drettnor felt that too, so he flew in a straight line while being a bit reckless in the middle.
‘Could it be that you’ve calculated all the psychological things before doing that? Where did that nasty monster come from? crazy……’
But… that person.
He suddenly glanced back at himself, his eyes flashing.
“What, what. What is it? What?”
Then, from Drettnor’s arms, wouldn’t he pull out a dagger?
It’s clearly Orhel’s Bloodsword.
In other words, it was his own seal.
Orhel said while holding the arm of Kroyton next to him.
“Hey, hey! Old man! Can I stop drying that?”
“Do you look like someone who will be told to dry?”
“…Ah, can’t you?”
* * *
After confirming Drettnor’s death, I searched his arms.
‘Orhel… I still don’t know what kind of guy he is.’
The Lord Orhel, whom I met through the three princes, was a fake.
A fake played by Drettnor.
However, it was all the same that the real Orhel also did not know what kind of person he was.
‘It could be that he just helped because he was the enemy of an enemy.’
Something to find out if he was simply trying to use me and throw it away.
So I decided to look for an insurance policy.
‘Here it is.’
Then he raised his gaze and confirmed what Orhel was doing.
At the same time, his hand snatched Orhel’s blood sword.
sigh……
pulled out
‘I don’t have any special gestures…’
If he was going to kill me too, stabbing Drettnor would be the best timing.
It was the time when I was concentrating on Drettnor.
Still, there has been no hostile movement.
Rather, he was busy hiding behind Kroyton’s back.
‘Are they real allies?’
Kroyton was also a very skilled magician, and at the same time, he was a person with good senses.
He didn’t react much either.
Even so……
Nevertheless, I grabbed Orhel’s Bloodsword in reverse and approached him.
Because it is always forbidden to be careless.
“One has been dealt with… it seems like it’s your turn now.”
“Are you going to tease your tongue because it’s bloody, this?”
“So think carefully and play around. I’ve seen a lot of people who usually die because of their tongue.”
“Yeah. Live and live. I’m not a vampire, and I’ve heard all the threats from humans.”
I nodded, pointing at Drettnor’s corpse with my chin.
“Have there been people who die from humans?”
“Keuhehe. Ah, that’s right, that’s right. There are dead people. But I don’t want to die yet. Like I said at the beginning, I came here with the intention of killing that damn bastard. I don’t even know who you are. Huh?”
“Then, haven’t you finished your business? I killed that bastard.”
“Yeah. I was supposed to…”
Orhel looked at my hand and licked my lips.
“If you hide it well, you won’t know it again. I mean, will I go in peace after seeing that?”
“If you’re not going? Are you going to do a show of force?”
“Oops. I saw a vampire lord running right in front of me, so I’m crazy? I’m a pacifist, peace. The most beautiful thing in the world!”
He spread his palms out and smiled broadly.
……Anyway, I thought that this guy was also insane.
‘Does everyone go crazy if they live long?’
Did you see my expression rot?
Orhel continued speaking again with a clearing of his cough.
“Kuhm, hmm. Well, it’s hard to believe, but I’m actually living among humans. The taste of alcohol made by humans is very artistic. I was crazy about it, so I started to shout for peace in the middle of the world again.”
Ah…So, you came to love peace because the wine was delicious?
I thought that there was nothing convincing about it.
But the strange thing is, that beggar-like human, no, a vampire is talking like that.
‘It seems strange that he will live only on alcohol.’
It seemed strangely believable.
He just looked like a drunkard.
“I’m a vegetarian vampire no matter what you look like. I live without eating human blood. That’s how strong my will is!
That…was possible…
Orhel’s mouth showed no signs of stopping even while he was a little surprised inside.
“So, why don’t you make a deal? What I want is, of course, my life…”
“Do you have what I want?”
“Hmm. I have a goo-oh-level liquor buried there, but honestly, that’s a bit of a waste.”
I don’t need anything like that.
“So, I’ll give you another one! This one is pretty fun too.”
“……?”
“Do you know that the fallen angel, Gauriel?”
“……!”
At the sudden appearance of the name, I narrowed my eyes.
* * *
It’s Gauriel.
Of course I knew.
Because he was the first person I met after falling into this world of Pao God.
And thanks to that, I was able to come this far.
“Ehehe. I will kill you with my eyes. Stop glaring at me, you human.”
“It’s because you cut off while talking.”
“Well, I admit that. Kk! Wasn’t I just a little cool?”
“Noisy. Go ahead and talk.”
“Eh… I don’t have feelings. Anyway, that guy named Gauriel gave up on something when he came down to the ground.”
“Are you giving up?”
Orhel raised one finger and laughed.
“Barobaro! What is it? Brother.”
“Ah, Mr. Pak! Just!”
Unknowingly, I opened my eyes and almost cursed.
Aren’t you supposed to do that to someone with a knife in their hand?
Then Orhel took a half step back.
“Uh, uh. Joke, joke. To come down to the ground, of course you have to give up your wings. Those wings filled with the power of a god.”
“Hmm……”
“Gauriel tore off his wings and crashed. The wings also fell somewhere in the world. But this body! Found one of those wings!”
I looked at him with a sullen expression.
“therefore?”
“No, so. Angel’s wings? Gauriel, who was the strongest angel in the heavens?”
“Okay. That’s where I put it.”
“Uh huh. I can see it…”
“what?”
“You. You’re a bit different from normal humans. Your aura is completely different. You probably don’t know, right?”
“……”
Of course, it was definitely different from normal people.
Because I was able to have unlimited powers from the beginning.
‘okay. It’s strange.’
“I can’t fool you that far. I have my own eyes. Am I right?”
At this point, I was right to admit it.
Even if I insist, I’ve already seen it through.
“You’re not blind.”
“Hahaha! Yes! Yes! My eyes are not normal! Puhahaha!”
Grendel, who had come to my side at some point, whispered next to me.
“Sir Rohan. He seems strange. Should I just kill him?”
“……”
Really no filtering at all, here too.
Between the two of us, I barely hold on to reason.
Lord Orhel spoke again.
“So. From my point of view, you seem to be able to use the power contained in those wings. For example… Yes, that one. You can test it with that one as well.”
He pointed to the mummified Dretnor’s heart.
To be precise, the Heart of Dretnor prison sword embedded in its heart.
“Bring that one. I’ll show you something interesting.”
At Orhel’s words, Diaz looked at me.
with eyes waiting for orders.
I nodded at her.
“Can you bring it?”
“Yes. Mr. Rohan.”
And then she held out the prison sword in front of me, Heart of Drettnor.
I accepted it
Orhel pointed to my hand this time.
“Slit the palm of your hand with it. If you really have a vessel that can absorb this and that… a portion of Dretnor’s power will be yours.”
“What is that…”
“That seal. It wasn’t just made for the purpose of killing.”
“…No?”
“Of course. Did you think it was such a simple object? The sword was originally made for the purpose of containing the power of the Lord. Well, you can explain the details step by step. Draw it first.”
I swallowed a little doubtful heart.
Swoop……
I slashed my palm with the heart of Drettnor prison sword.
Of course, Pico’s power activates.
Roaring!
The wound quickly disappeared along with the flame of the phoenix.
Seeing that, Orhel’s eyes widened.
“Wow, that’s crazy. Is this a real thing? You use phoenix flames or something? Wow, Mr.”
Surprisingly, the eyes that see are real.
To see this once and recognize that it is the power of the phoenix.
To be precise, it seems that I just felt it was sloppy, but…
First of all, it was amazing to set the direction itself.
but without time to admire it.
‘Hmm?’
Centered on the palm where the wound was formed.
A great energy began to surge.
I knew at once.
‘Really… that feeling when fighting Drettnor?…’
I was able to know exactly what I felt through my third eye.
That this power was the one wielded by the real Lord Drettnor.
And, the power of that poisonous blood…had coiled itself inside me…!
