## Chapter 1079 – Ancient Vampire

“Anyway, that was a very interesting story.”
“I know, right? Some crazy vampire lord.”

Liztina nodded in response to Risha’s words.

This was beyond interesting; it was practically a murderous tale.

A crazy vampire lord.

It was impossible to even guess how powerful that bastard was. The Oracle clearly stated that even the Titans of the past couldn’t kill him.

—Titans.

Trustworthy Risha verified the truth of the statement, and the Oracle hadn’t lied. If that was the case, then it proved that the Titans’ power was quite prosperous in the past, as the Titan prince had directly revealed before.

Wasn’t that right?

If the Titans were just some weakling race, the Oracle wouldn’t have bothered using them as an example. Putting aside the fact that they enslaved humans, the Titans of the past were incredibly strong.

But if those guys couldn’t kill that vampire lord, Coltrakhen, then this vampire lord must also be a transcendent ancient being.

A monster who lived in the same era as the Titans.

Chronologically, it could be inferred that he was a monster from long before the Idol War.

However, it seemed that he was defeated and sealed by humans who had gods on their side during the Idol War… It was clear that the humans of that time were even more powerful than they are now. They even defeated the Ice Giants, so there was nothing more to say.

And that thing was sealed somewhere out there.

And if that bastard woke up, it was a one-hundred-percent guaranteed disaster.

Even if you gathered Kim Il-sung, Pol Pot, and Ceaușescu, those crazy vampire bastards with inhuman superpowers, and did a Devil Trinity fusion, they wouldn’t even be a match for the insane things he would do.

In my opinion, this had to be destroyed no matter what.

“Vampire,”

Karin, who had been folding her arms, nodded slightly and looked at the Oracle.

“Well, there are many legends and stories, but no one has actually seen one.”
“I guess… I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen one. There are only rumors.”
“And only unreliable rumors at that.”

Vampire.

I had only heard rumors about them, but I had never actually seen one, and I had never heard of anyone killing one and bringing back a trophy. So, I had thought that they were either extinct or had become a rare species.

“That’s right. There are several stories like that, aren’t there?”

Liztina chimed in.

“Like, some lord somewhere is actually a vampire and secretly enslaves humans to suck their blood to survive.”
“Vampires…! A race that sucks the blood of humans!”

Hilde gathered her hands near her chest, trembling and squeezing out her voice as Liztina gave an example.

“Right. There are many stories like that. But I don’t think there are many people who believe that vampires still exist. Wizards are sensitive to that kind of knowledge. If they existed, we would have known. Maybe they were all subjugated and killed a long time ago, and only legends remain now.”
“That’s pretty much how it is. That’s how I see it too.”

Karin nodded at Winia’s words.

I agreed as well.

“That’s what I think too. I haven’t seen one myself, but I’ve heard that they existed a long time ago.”
“A long time ago…”
“P-Please do something about Karin’s gaze!”
“Okay.”

I grabbed Karin, who was staring intently at Risha, and sat her down. Lately, Karin’s hobby was teasing Risha.

Anyway, Kadia would probably know a lot about these vampires. Religious people wouldn’t have left monsters that suck human blood alone. If they had been subjugated, the religious people would have been the first to step up.

“So, this vampire… is it a race that disguises itself as humans and sucks their blood?”

Claudie asked, tilting her head.

“Yes. That’s exactly it. Weren’t there similar things in the desert?”
“Well… sucking there was about sucking moisture. Thinking about sucking only blood feels a bit awkward.”

Are they different?

“Sister? Are they different?”
“I’m not sure.”

Oh dear.

“Anyway, it’s unpleasant. An existence that sucks blood.”

Ari shook her head with a blank expression as she said that.

But when you think about it, she sucks cum pretty well.

“Father…?”

She blushed when I looked at her face. I just said I was looking because she was pretty and stroked the back of her neck.

“Good.”

First, let’s briefly summarize what we know about this vampire lord. I immediately grabbed a pen, sat down, and recorded the information I had obtained this time.

“Risha.”

I called Risha as I wrote.

“That Oracle, is it okay now?”
“I’ll have to look again to know for sure, but for now, there doesn’t seem to be a big problem. I think it can be used again if we just recharge its energy.”

Then that’s good.

If there’s no problem, it means we can use it again next time. Well, if its brain had melted or exploded, we wouldn’t be able to recycle it, but that didn’t happen.

I just need to trust Risha.

“However, it seems that creating the energy source this time used a bit of power, so it will take some time and money to do it again.”
“Well, are the materials a bit expensive? Do they sell them at the Magic Tower?”
“They do sell them at the Magic Tower.”
“Don’t worry about the cost. Buy everything you need. I got a lot of money from the young lady.”
“Hehehe, I understand.”

I made a lot of money.

“Ah, but I should have asked about this properly.”

It was an important matter, but I approached it thoughtlessly.

“You really asked weirdly.”

Karin said.

“Right?”
“It’s because you’ve been solving everything with strength lately that you’ve forgotten the importance of your head. It’s common. Your sister didn’t say anything, but next time, let’s decide what to ask properly. Take this as a lesson.”
“Yes. I know. I believe I’ve learned well.”
“Sorry.”

I’ve been too lazy just staying at home.

I’ll make sure to do it properly next time.

Anyway, while organizing the vampire lord information, I also organized and recorded the information about the Ice Giants.

The conflict between the Sasquatches and the heretics in the past was because of that blue-furred Sasquatch. I don’t know what they’re going to do with it, but it’s definitely going to be dangerous. The source of this knowledge is a bit heretical, but I’ll report it somehow when I get back.

It’s a problem if that crazy lich wakes up the Ice Giants, vampires, and other bastards and uses them as weapons, and it’s also a problem if he absorbs their power.

In many ways, the future of the Karga Kingdom is bleak.

“Katt.”
“Hmm? Why, Claudie?”
“Should we look for that vampire lord?”
“We have to.”

We have to.

Fusion Confucianism will never tolerate such an existence. To make this world more beneficial. And I will never forgive those who try to ruin this world for me, my women, and my descendants to live in.

That’s why we can’t leave such a dangerous bastard alone.

We have to kill him somehow.

This Oracle bastard said he knows the location, so there shouldn’t be a big problem… The problem is that we have to carry this thing around. What will other people think if they see it? Let’s think about that separately. That’s not the important thing.

The important thing is whether that transcendent vampire lord is still sealed.

If he has already awakened from his seal and is accumulating power, he will definitely be a very dangerous opponent. We can only kill him easily if he is still sealed.

But did the lich touch this?
Is the vampire lord awake?

I don’t know.

“Well, I’m getting quite interested. You said it’s in the east, right?”
“Yeah. He said it’s east from here.”

But if it’s east, it’s towards Krasheim.

Krasheim, the place where I started everything… Could the vampire lord be buried there? If so, then he probably hasn’t awakened from his seal yet. The city is fine, isn’t it?

No.

If you go further east from Krasheim, there’s an unexplored area.

Could he be sealed somewhere there?

“Darkie. If it’s east, it’s Krasheim.”

Winia approached me with a sweet smile, rubbing her breasts against my body, as if she felt guilty about something. When you think about it, that’s where I first met Winia.

“Hehehe, right. Why, Winia?”
“Hmm… Then is he sealed there? If not there, then it’s an unexplored area.”
“It’s one of the two.”

I enjoyed the sensation leisurely and made inferences.

“Father? An unexplored area?”
“Yeah. An unexplored area. It’s east from here.”

Unexplored area.

Why is the unexplored area unexplored?

It was a place where it was impossible to live because there was only terrain that was too difficult for people to live in.

First of all, to live there need plains that can be made into farmland, but there are almost no plains in the unexplored area. Even that vast area is made up entirely of rugged mountain ranges, so they gave up on developing it and left it as an unexplored area.

It’s just not profitable to develop it and it’s not very useful.

Even the few plains that exist are so terrible that the terrain is terrible, and it’s so lush that it’s crazy rugged and there are so many monsters. So, it’s almost worthless land.

That’s why Krasheim became the eastern frontier of the kingdom.

Of course, the monsters there are quite useful, but that’s it. Only occasional expeditions go over to try to make maps, but it’s just left alone. Adventurers go there to catch monsters, but that’s all.

“That’s roughly the place. I told you about it once before, right?”

I organized the information and explained it to Ari.

“Hmm… Then it might be there. If it’s such a place, no one would have found it without information.”
“I hope so.”

I don’t think the lich has a phone book of sealed beings and knows everything. So, I think he probably tried to get something like the Oracle.

“Still, we can’t ignore the possibility that the lich found out first.”
“Then it’s a big problem!!!”

Hilde made a fuss when Risha said that.

It’s actually something to make a fuss about.

“Hmm… Now I’m starting to feel like this world is really dangerous. A lich and an ancient vampire lord. Isn’t this a big problem if we don’t do something? It seems more serious than the Spirit King or the Otherworld Monster King.”
“That’s exactly it, Liz! We’re on the verge of a big problem right now!!!”
“I think I know that too!”

It’s a really dangerous situation.

After roughly finishing the paperwork, we cleaned up the basement while discussing this matter. We’ll need to prepare to use the Oracle again next time. After cleaning up, we’ll have to go to the Magic Tower.

I have a lot more to do in many ways.

“Anyway, I think it would be good to explore this. There’s no problem if we have a guide. I’m interested in the ancient vampire lord.”

Karin was quite excited, with a look in her eyes that seemed to be boiling with blood.

“Karin sister really likes fighting.”
“It’s the same as a wizard liking magic. When else will we have the chance to kill something like that? I couldn’t have imagined it in the past. I’ve been having a lot of fun killing various monsters, and I can’t miss this opportunity.”

As expected, a warrior among warriors.

“Hehehe, right. Let’s poke at it once we have information. My sister really likes that kind of thing.”

It’s not a story that warriors like us can just ignore. Let’s look for the vampire when we’re ready.

But it seems like I’m making Kadia, who I left in the capital, wait too long.

But it can’t be helped because of the situation.

“Yeah. It won’t be bad. Shall we start preparing for the exploration?”
“Let’s do it.”

Claudie also said that with a smile.

“Still, I hope we can get something out of it.”
“Battle experience is the best loot, Claudie.”
“Hehehe, that’s right.”

An ancient vampire lord must have something. Whether it’s power or something material.

Whatever it is, a vampire is an existence that gives joy when killed.
