Chapter 49 Vampires (5).
Vladir calmly asks how Lilith is doing.
“Is Lilith okay?”
“Yes, Father. Thanks to their help, I was able to do well.”
The words of King Vladir, who looked around the Baltic party, continued.
“Humans, barbarians, and beasts. It’s a combination you don’t see easily. I can’t help but listen to the situation. I apologize for spurting out my magic. She lost her temper at the thought that Lilith might be hurt.”
“It’s okay. Majesty.”
“Yes, thank you for understanding. Please explain the situation, Lilith.”
.
.
.
Vladir, who heard the circumstances from Lilith, drool.
“Okay… Are you saying that people all the way to Jorn Village have disappeared…. In addition, Barthol and Brad were also arrested… ? Ha…. It hurts.”
I think it’s strange that Balt looked up and looked at Vladir’s complexion.
Befitting a vampire who is said to have the best beauty along with elves, Vladir’s beauty was great even though he was a man.
‘I’m sure it’s more than Circle 8… The king’s condition is not so good.’
No matter who sees it, King Vladir’s complexion is not very good.
Apart from the pale complexion of a vampire, the sunken cheeks and slender arms that are slightly visible show that he is not normal.
“I forcibly followed you to find out what was going on, but… Barthol, Brad risked his life to protect me by using concealment magic….”
“It came safely. It’s a big deal anyway…. What kind of guys….”
At a cursory glance, it seems that something has happened to the kingdom of vampires.
In the end Balt, unable to hold back his curiosity, asks King Vladir.
“My lord, may I ask what is going on? I would like to help if I can.”
When Balt said he wanted to help, Lilith’s face brightened.
“Dad, you are a very talented man! Even that giant armored elk was blown away in one shot!”
King Vladir’s face is full of curiosity at Lilith’s words, which are somewhat excited.
“An ironclad elk? With only the skills of the 1st, 4th, and 5th floors? Well, the barbarian side is weird, but….”
It seems to be referring to Balt blocking his mana by applying strength to his whole body.
“Is the barbarian using magic now? Even 500 years ago, barbarians couldn’t use mana at all.”
King Vladir saw the barbarian 500 years ago when he was young. Vampires usually live 1,000 years, so King Vladir is only about middle-aged now.
“I’m probably an unusual case. Anyway, can you tell me what’s going on?”
Nod-
Lilith nodded and Vladir’s mouth opened.
“First of all, I am curious about your purpose. What did you come here for? Most vampires come to the castle for bad reasons.”
In response to King Vladir’s question, Balt expresses his sincere heart.
“I came to befriend a vampire and learn blood magic.”
Vladir’s eyes widen at Balt’s words.
“Blood magic?”
“Yes, it is.”
Vladir’s situation is also unusual. Vampire blood magic is magic based on life force. Normal human beings are very reluctant to learn.
At least, since they are vampires who can replenish their vitality through blood, they can overuse it. It is an unusual magic that can lead to death if a normal human uses blood magic and their vitality is depleted.
It’s different from the feeling of exhaustion that comes after using up all your mana, because exhaustion of all your vitality means death in the end.
There is absolutely no reason for humans to use blood magic while exhausting their vitality when they can just use mana.
“Hmm… Again, this is the first time. There’s nothing I can’t teach you…. It’s all about whether you can learn.”
“I don’t intend to give up easily. I am in a desperate position.”
After confirming Balt’s purpose, Vladir looks at Robin and Yuria.
Then Vladir sees Robin and smacks her lips.
“?”
“Kuh, keuh… I’m sorry… It’s been a while since I drank blood. But don’t get me wrong, I get human blood through fair trade. It is a trade commodity, so to speak.”
I understand the situation roughly. But Balt doesn’t dare to step forward and waits for Vladir’s mouth to open.
“But a few months ago. Strange things happen.”
“How many months ago?”
Followed by Vladir, who nodded his head.
“The humans in the villages that traded blood disappeared one by one, and eventually all of them disappeared. As if someone was deliberately trying to isolate us.”
Isolation of vampires? It is a story that someone is intentionally aiming for a vampire.
“However, the human village is not easy to find. Only those in the know with the blood magic barrier can find the village of humans who traded with us.”
“But we found it easily.”
Listening to that, Lilith interjected.
“At that time, it was probably because the barriers were all destroyed.”
The King of Vladir sighed and was deeply troubled. Honestly, I wonder if telling this to Balt and the others is a good thing.
I understand that the criminals are organized, but how the hell did they find all those villages and try to isolate the vampires like this?
“For that reason, we dispatched an investigation team, but no one returned. My daughter, who was worse off, stepped in, but if it wasn’t for her, even my daughter could have been kidnapped. She is in debt.”
Looking at Balt’s confused expression, Vladir seems to know what Balt’s party is thinking.
“Looking at the expression on her face, she seems curious about why Lilith, who was so weak, was sent to the investigation team.”
Balt does not hide his curiosity.
“Yes.”
Vladir smiled and held out a bottle to Lilith.
“Drink Lilith.”
“Oh, Father, this is….”
“I am still fine. If you use all your strength, you must have used high-ranking magic, right?”
“Yes….”
Looking at it roughly, it is a glass bottle of about 200ml.
As if Lilith had made up her mind, she started drinking the blood from the vial.
Is the blood that Robin gave me just a sip? No, because Lilith quickly came to her senses, she would only have a few drops of Robin’s blood.
Lilith’s magical power begins to amplify after emptying her glass bottle.
“This?”
Throwing Chemistry!
It was only then that Lilith’s body, which captured her amplified mana, felt her circle and magical power properly, and I was able to guess the state of her Lilith.
This is probably because Lilith did not hide her special state of affairs.
“Circle 6… He was a great performer.”
After drinking her blood, Lilith even changed her body.
Her height, which was slightly taller than Latina, has changed into a slender figure, and even her short black hair has been lengthened and transformed into a beautiful figure.
“Even the body changes.”
Lilith, who has saved her power, smiles.
“A racial trait that shrinks the body to reduce the consumption of life force. They usually only know that they can turn into bats, but everyone seems to be unaware of this.”
Now I can guess. The reason Lilith was able to survive.
With some kind of magic, she activated a magic that allowed her to quickly enter the well and hide herself.
Balt found it and brought it here. It is said that when he becomes a child, his personality also changes slightly to a child.
I didn’t know the details, but Balt thought so.
“Then all vampires now?”
Vladyr nods his head.
“That’s right, it’s a situation where everyone can’t exert themselves properly.”
“But isn’t the king capable of more than 8 circles?”
Bald’s question is valid. To be honest, looking at Vladir’s appearance now, the term Arc Wizard of Circle 8 is almost colorless.
“That’s why I’m so weak, because in reality my father is stronger.”
So you’re saying it’s even 9 circles? Balt’s level is low, so he won’t be able to properly look at Vladir’s level, but since it’s the 8th circle that has weakened like that, I can’t even guess what his original level is.
“That was the story. Yes, did you say Balt?”
“Yes, I am.”
“You came all the way here because of the will of your ancestors. How about I’ll give you enough examples, so why don’t you help us a little?”
The desired sea. Balt nods his head and grins.
“Tell me what to do first. But there are conditions. Please let me know the blood magic first.”
“Hmm, that’s not difficult, I was just curious about your skills. But I’m a little low on energy. I want to conserve my strength as much as possible.”
This is a twist on the word to deal with Lilith.
“I understand.”
You can see blood magic.
With that alone, Balt’s heart starts pounding.
“I will deal with you.”
Lilith, whose form has changed, steps in front of Balt.
Then King Vladir’s hand shakes.
“Bloodfield.”
Shuhwaahak-
The barrier magic of the 8th circle arc wizard.
It is an unknown barrier that fills the wide audience room.
“Let’s fight to our heart’s content. Because this barrier is strong.”
Robin and Yuria, seeing Balt’s expression, tap the barrier.
“Hey, Great King, we want to go out… ?”
At Yuria’s words, part of the barrier opens slightly and Robin and Yuria escape.
“There is no need to get involved. Balt’s expression is a bit scary… Won’t you kill me?”
“No way… I am a little worried.”
From noble mtl dot com.
Irrespective of the small whispered conversation between Robin and Yuria, King Vladir’s signal rings.
“Get started.”
With the sound of King Vladir’s start, Lilith scratches her index finger with her thumb nail.
The blood flowing from her index finger instantly turns into a fog-like form, and bloody aura begins to gather around Lilith.
