26 – Leonhard Nation – 3
Think carefully. What should I do here? The first is to run away without looking back. But I can’t just leave Ellie behind. It’s a formality, but it’s because I’m currently in charge of Ellie’s escort role.
The second fight. But this too was rejected. When I look at the energy I feel and the abnormally high level of 94, it is absolutely not an opponent I can beat. Even if I was a wizard, I didn’t have complete magic immunity, so there was no chance of winning.
No matter how much I think about it.
There is no way I can survive.
The only thing there is [Suzaku’s Fire] Effect, resurrection? But I don’t think I can defeat that woman just because I’m resurrected.
“I found it.”
A beautiful black-haired woman named Veronica looks at me gently with a light smile. It was a seductive smile that would surely make ordinary men captivated by love at once, but to me it was just like the face of a ghost in a horror movie I used to watch when I was young.
“..You found me? Who are you looking for me?”
“Hmm… I guess you don’t know me because I’m an Earthling.”
Veronica approached me gracefully, clattering her heels like her famous model.
Her Veronica’s every move is graceful, as if she’s showing off that she’s a true nobility.
“My true name is Veronica Bloodia. She is the queen of all vampires and holds the position of commander of the Slaughter Corps in the Demon Kingdom.”
“If you’re the corps commander… Have you come to avenge Rex and Lilith?”
“No, I’m not light enough to work hard for such idiots.”
“Then what did you come for?”
I quickly prepared the magic. I’m going to put the most powerful magic into it before Veronica notices.
However, wind attribute magic was excluded.
Because Void magic, which has a certain killing power, was more appropriate at this moment.
Of course, if Veronica finds out, there is no life for me. Obviously, the upper body and lower body will be separated.
So, I drive the spear of emptiness at full power into Veronica without being noticed. That would be the only possibility for me to survive.
“I just came here personally because I have a great interest in the man you are.”
“Oh yeah…?”
Pour all the mana into the Void Spear. I don’t know how powerful it will be, as it’s almost consumed mana by [Psychokinesis], But since it’s twice as much as the minimum required mana consumption of the Void Window, its power must be more than twice as strong.
“Hmm…”
But for some reason, Veronica didn’t move. She was looking at me with an amused look.
For some reason, I felt a chill in Veronica’s red eyes. It’s like a prey facing a predator right in front of you.
I tried to get rid of the uneasy feeling and fired the spear of emptiness at Veronica who was slowly approaching me.
‘Reached!’
I was sure.
This was definitely right. Considering the distance of less than 5m and the speed at which the spear of emptiness flies, even the Beast King, a warrior with specialized physical abilities, cannot avoid it.
But there is one saying that works for all situations.
That is, ‘there are always exceptions.’
And the exception appeared before my eyes.
“Crazy…”
“As expected…”
Veronica was holding the tip of the spear of the void, which was larger than her own body, very easily with her index finger and thumb, and smiled with her joy.
“…Isn’t that a total monster?”
“That might hurt you a little.”
Bagak-!
Veronica simply broke the void spear with a little force on her thumb and forefinger.
One thing we can guess here is that Veronica, like me, has [Void Resistance].
Void magic basically puts a powerful curse on the opponent just by touching it. However, Veronica went beyond touching the void spear with her bare hands and even destroyed it, but it didn’t seem to do much damage. This was a possible result because he had [Void Resistance].
“Then, now that ‘confirmation’ is over, shall we talk properly?”
“…The story..?”
“Yes, talk. I need to know what ‘position’ you hold.”
‘…Title?’
Veronica moved right up to my nose in an instant with a charming smile.
I was startled and wary of her Veronica, who had momentarily disappeared and then appeared right in front of her.
However, since there was no mana left, there was no means to attack or defend Veronica, and even the dagger found in the labyrinth was returned as it belonged to the royal family, so there was no such thing now.
“Hold still. It will be over soon.”
“This crazy..!”
At that moment, Veronica brought her mouth close to my neck, baring sharp fangs from her own mouth.
Come to think of it, Veronica introduced herself as the queen of all vampires.
In other words, her Veronica’s race is said to be a vampire that sucks human blood, which is famous on Earth, and Veronica bites my neck in accordance with the characteristics of her own race.
According to the myth on Earth, a human being bitten by a vampire becomes a vampire. So, is Veronica trying to turn me into a vampire?
From noble mtl dot com
I don’t know why, but the thought of running away immediately ran through my head.
So I quickly backed away and tried to avoid Veronica’s sharp fangs, but she muttered quietly, holding her mana as if she wouldn’t let it go.
-Stop it.
“Huh?!”
At that moment, Veronica’s mana-filled cry shackled my whole body, and Veronica approached me motionless and lazily drove her vampire fangs into my neck.
-Poo-wook…
With the unpleasant sound of flesh splitting, Veronica began to suck my blood as if savoring fine food from a fancy restaurant.
But…
“Huh?!”
At that moment, Veronica started exhibiting her strange behavior. As soon as I started sucking her blood, she screamed something strange and she pulled her fangs out of my neck.
I took a moment to look at Veronica in bewilderment and saw that she had pulled her fangs out of my neck, reminded me of her cheeks, and her mouth was wide open with an expression of rapture.
“Ahhhhh”
Veronica let out a strange groan and trembled and looked at me with her delighted eyes. Seeing that, she wondered if the overwhelming and intense momentum she felt when she first met Veronica was a hallucination? I was about to think that.
Of course it couldn’t have been.
“Now what..?”
“Aha…Don’t look at me…! Ha ha… Ha ha…&”
‘What the f*ck, can my blood be an aphrodisiac?’
Veronica didn’t understand the situation and sat down on her floor, avoiding my embarrassed eyes.
I didn’t understand the situation, but I decided that it wasn’t a bad situation, so I slowly approached Veronica who was sitting on the floor.
Then Veronica glanced at me with a flushed red face and struggled to speak.
“Oh..Don’t come here…&”
“Hmm…”
Do vampires in another world go into heat when they drink blood? It was a situation where there was no other way to explain it.
But then why did Veronica suck my blood?
If a vampire gets into heat by drinking blood, then there was no reason for Veronica to drink my blood.
Hmm… No matter how much I think about it, I still don’t know.
“That…You are…The ‘King’…!”
“King…?”
“Haa…This is the blood of the ‘King’…? This is dangerous…So dangerous…”
Veronica, for some unknown reason, looked up at me from her seated position with a satisfied expression on her face. If it was a man, it would have been an attitude that would make him feel a great s*xual desire, but to me, who knew Veronica’s fear, it felt like a whim of a monster.
At that time, another monster invaded the space where time stopped.
“Earthman!!”
“The Beast King…?”
The Beast King Arnold appeared in front of me and Veronica.
“I came to see if someone broke the ‘rule’ and stopped time. It was you, Veronica.”
“Haa…Haa…Don’t disturb the audience King of Beasts…!”
“An audience? What do you mean by that?”
“I’m excited… I’ve lost my interest.”
Veronica exuded intense momentum as she looked at the Beast King, who suddenly intruded, with ferocious eyes. But she immediately clicked her tongue, regained her momentum, got up from her seat, and turned her gaze to me.
King of beasts might have thought that Veronica was about to attack me, so I rushed at her speed and swung her fists to stop her.
However, Veronica instantly created a jet-black barrier and imprisoned me and herself inside her shield.
“Haa…Haa… That’s it. At this rate, the Beast King won’t be able to intervene for a while.”
Veronica breathed heavily and reached out her hand to stroke my cheek as if it were her prized possession.
I was still confused by that appearance, but Veronica whispered to me with a bright smile.
“I’ll be back to see you soon… That’s the duty of a ‘subject’.”
“Wait what do you mean…”
Veronica left her meaningful words and she quietly disappeared into black smoke with a beautiful smile. At the same time, the jet-black protective shield that prevented the Beast King from interfering also disappeared as dust.
“Earthman?! Are you okay!”
“Uh…Well…”
‘No f*ck…..What was it? Are you glad you’re alive?’
I don’t know what the hell Veronica meant, but she felt great relief that she lived.
But it was true that she felt quite uncomfortable with the word ‘king’ Veronica used to refer to me.
And when you say you are a ‘vassal’… What the hell do you mean…
“Huh..? Father? What are you doing here?”
As Veronica disappeared, the stopped time began to pass, and Ellie was perplexed as she alternately looked at me and the Beast King with a serious expression.
“No, Ellie, let’s go in.”
“Eh? Huh? What is it? What is it? Father, what the hell is going on?”
“…Nothing’s wrong. It’s getting late, so let’s go.”
So Eli and I returned to the castle under the protection of the Beast King.
FYI, since then Ellie has been banned from going out. As expected, the love for the daughter of the king of beasts was still the same.
Agreed.
Ellie is an absolute trouble magnet.
