Chapter 267 – Chapter 27

The war ended when the magical cloud layer dissipated.

The vampires, who were exposed to the sun without any warning, felt the pain of burning their bodies because they could not use any abilities under the sun, and perished leaving only clothes and ashes.

The only surviving vampire under the sun was Barnes, who inherited the sun-resistant blood of the progenitor.

“Win!!”
“Crazy dog! Survived!”

Battle armors were destroyed here and there, and in severe cases, even wounded mercenaries cheered for surviving the war.

Honestly, without the Battle Armored, they would all be annihilated here.

They felt it too, so the joy of surviving amid the cheers of victory accounted for more than half.

However, there were also those who could not fully rejoice in victory in this situation.

“Lee, Lilith.”
“Good work, Celestine. I should say thank you this time.”
“That’s okay! More than that, what the hell is that boy!?”

Celestine could not hide her astonishment at Kaisent’s power, which destroyed the cloud enchanted with great magic and defeated Vanes.

“How could such a young boy have such power…! What would happen if that power was used on the ground…!”

She was speechless at the fact that intense forces that could destroy the world collided, and that Kaicent was the one who won.

In order to stop that power in their own world, it would take the Holy Ghosts of the main level to step forward.

But a being with such power is a boy who has not reached adulthood yet?

If that boy grows up, it means he will be able to use more power than he does now.

“Calm down.”
“Calm down? How can you calm down! Didn’t you feel that power!?”
“Of course I know. I never imagined that the me in the past would be that strong.”

Even so, Lilith did not forget her composure.

“But think about it. Has Kai Sent ever mistreated or bullied his co-workers? Except at night.”

Kaicent was never disrespectful for being strong, except when making women suffer at night.

Honestly, if he wanted to, he would have beaten the Wolf mercenaries and reigned.

However, despite his strong power, everyone liked Kai Sent because he was polite as usual, and he was not difficult and treated him like his younger brother.

On the contrary, he even felt guilty that if it had not been for the beating of the prince, he would not have parted with his comrades.

“Because Kaicent has power, he becomes a dangerous being? I can’t imagine it with my head.”
“But you became that dangerous today.”
“It was because of those women.”

Lilith gestured with his chin, pointing to Akina, who had picked up her own arm, and to Shirin, who was collecting the destroyed fragments.

“Kaisent explodes with anger when his women are in danger. The current situation happened because those women were in danger of dying.”

There are complex reasons why their lives are in danger, but it is clear that Akina and Shirin were awakened in anger because they tried to sacrifice themselves in their place.

“He’s a guy who’s more angry for others than for himself.”
“But he can’t be exonerated by that.”
“That’s why we have to be on the sidelines to keep our balance. Isn’t that the duty of adults?”
“…”

Celestine was dumbfounded at the fact that Lilith, who was always cynical and didn’t care about others, said this.

“I can say this because you haven’t been with Kaisent for a long time. If you go together for just 3 months, you’ll know how vain you spend your troubles.”

After a few months, convinced that she would be ashamed of herself for why she had to worry so much, she moved on to get her worthwhile booty.

“Don’t play around and get your loot. You’re not ashamed or despised taking loot from the battlefield, right?”
“…What do you think of me?”

It is the natural right of the victor to take the spoils of war.

To despise it is to be less than a newbie who does not even know the basics of war.

‘For now, as this guy said, I’ll have to look at the situation by Kaicent’s side.’

Celestine, who had many opportunities to work with Kaicent in the future, decided to check his character and moved to retrieve the loot with Lilith.

She didn’t pick up anything roughly, but only collected valuable magic items with magical energy, so she was able to recover useful weapons.

Meanwhile, after confirming victory, Lillian visits Kaicent and Barnes.

“…”

I was speechless at the sight of the unconscious Kaicent and the disfigured Vannes.

“Artie. What about Kaicent?”
“You’re exhausted. And you used Accel Pinier again…”
“Neledriel. Help Kaicent recuperate.”
– Up to this point, the power of the body does not fully reach. It’s hard just controlling the beasts, so I recommend setting up a barracks.”
“Okay. Dang Seol-yeong, make a barracks with Arty and heal Kaicent.”
“Yes.”

Dang Seol-young, who had a sad expression on the fact that Kaicent used the Accel Pinier again, disappeared with Artie.

“Akina. Are your arms okay?”
“Thanks to the neat cut, it’s easy to attach using a potion. The real problem is over there.”

Sending Kaicent to safety, she approached Shirin, who was holding Vannes in a state of disrepair.

“Sir Sirin. What about Barnes?”
“It’s a narrow survival situation.”
“How do I cure her of her?”
“I need blood. It’s serious enough that I’d have to put myself in a bathtub full of blood.”

All abilities of a vampire begin with blood and end with blood.

The more blood you have, the more powerful and more magic you can use, and even in a situation on the verge of death, if there is only blood, you can heal normally.

“Right now, that’s impossible.”
“I need blood, even at the level of a cup. If the blood inside dries up and stays like this…”

Shirin begged for a cup of blood for first aid.

Upon seeing that, Lillian emptied her canteen from her magic pouch, then slashed her own wrist and began to fill her canteen with her blood.

By controlling the mana in her body, she made her blood pour out, and when her canteen was filled, she stopped the bleeding and handed it to Shirin.

As she carefully pushed her canteen into Vannes’s mouth, her damaged body gradually recovered to such an extent that it would be no wonder if she became a corpse right away.

However, the amount of water bottle was only enough to bring back a little bit of the broken body.

“Um…”

Still, thanks to absorbing her blood, she was able to regain her senses and realized that she was being held by Shirin.

“I… Have been defeated…”
“Queen…”

Recognizing the seriousness of her own condition, she admitted her own defeat.

“Sir Sirin.”
“Yes.”
“I… Still don’t understand… Why… That boy…?”

No matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t make sense that she would defy her own orders in order to protect her kai cent.

Having lost anyway, I’d rather feel relieved and want to know the truth.

“Later the queen will find out.”

Shirin, who had no talent for words, could not explain further than this.

“That’s right. You’ll find out why Sirin made that decision later.”
“There seems to be something I don’t know about…”

Seeing Shirin and Lillian saying the same thing, Vannes decided to wait for that moment to come.

“Ah… That’s mean… That boy… Using the kingdom’s history… Was so strong that even I couldn’t beat him…”
“Someone said this. Social life is all about networking.”
“Puhuh…That’s not something you would use at a time like this…”

I tried to complain lightly, but in the end I had to admit what I had to admit.

By absorbing her blood and regenerating her top priority, she is better than before.

“I lost. Please be a good king.”
“I will. Help me to become a good king next to you too.”
“The good times of pampering others are gone.”
“That’s right. I’m going to pamper you a lot in the future, so be prepared.”

With her victory over Vannes, Lillian, as promised, accepts her as her own vassal.

“Oh, you don’t have to tremble in front of me.”
“You’re an introvert? Is this my original personality?”
“Oh, is that so? When I heard the story from the other side, I heard that it went wild?”

Lillian treated the wound with the potion, but pointed to Jinsu-ah, who was panting as her sanity and stamina were exhausted.

“Sss! That, that!”
“Do you have a double personality?”
“No way!”

The two exchanged jokes and created a warm atmosphere that did not look like people who fought to death until just now.

*                           *

‘Looks like I didn’t need help.’

Dressed in a black slit dress that exposed her shoulders and back, the woman with a witchy aura saw Lillian exchanging jokes with Barnes, obscuring her presence with her magic.

‘I never thought that the queen would have this much power. If it had been aggressive or ambitious, the Western Continent would have already been in the hands of the Cameld Kingdom.’

Even if the guardian corps supported each country and formed an alliance, they would have been annihilated before the power of the queen wearing crimson armor.

But thanks to her, she was able to be sure that Queen Vanes was a rational being with whom she could communicate.

‘By the way, the power that baby used surpassed Origin’s realm. Seeing that he passed out, it seems like he squeezed out a lot of force, but if he grows up here, he’ll be able to use it reliably.’

The power Kaicent displayed was not something that could be obtained through ordinary training.

Obviously, a violent aura that only beings that transcend humans can exert.

‘Whoop whoop. A new wind will blow in the western continent.’

Strong men with power that not only Kaicent but others can’t ignore.

Since those strong people gathered under Lillian, a huge storm will sweep the western continent at the same time as the reconstruction of the Kingdom of Lucy Arkenel.

‘I’ll see you soon, my queen. I will pray for you to be healthy in the meantime ♥’

Charlize Livelim, the witch in the black dress, disappeared into the darkness, hoping for the day she would reunite with Lillian.

*                           *

“Aaaaagh!”

Upon regaining her consciousness on the cot, Kai Sent screamed as she felt her whole body plead in pain.

“Above!”
“Master!”

Dang Seol-young and Artie, who were waiting for him to wake up, clung to each other in surprise at the sound of his screams.

“Take a big deep breath!”
“Ha! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Crock! Whoa- Whoa-“

Hearing Dang Seol-young’s voice in pain, Kaicent desperately took a deep breath and felt the pain slowly disappear.

“I’ve numbed my senses with my poison. Are you all right, upstairs?”
“Uh, uh… It’s okay…”

He was Kaicent, whose pain disappeared thanks to Dang Seol-young’s poison, but he felt a strong sense of lethargy as he had no inner energy left.

“By the way…Why am I here…? Could it be that we lost!?”

When he feels the crisis of his death, his father’s blood along with the violence awakens, but he does not remember the moment of awakening, so he did not know why he was lying here.

“Don’t you remember?”
“Uh…Yes. The last thing I remember…Akina and Shirin’s bodies were cut or destroyed.”

Artie wondered why Kaicent himself couldn’t remember what he was doing, but decided to focus on explaining the situation for now.

“The master has won by making Queen Barnes a wreck.”
“I?”
“Yes. By defeating Queen Barnes and clearing her clouds, the war was won with all vampires annihilated. Now everyone is cleaning up.”
“…”

At first, I thought he was joking, but now that I think about it, I think this has happened before.

“Above…”
“Sorry… I said I wouldn’t use it, but I used it again.”

Kaicent apologized to Dang Seol-young, who was shedding tears while looking at him.

His memory was cut off along the way, but he remembered that he had used the Accel Pinier to counterattack.

“No. In that situation, I had no choice but to use it. It’s just… I feel so sorry for myself for not being able to help… Black…”
“No. Didn’t the enemies research to stop Seolyoung’s poison?
“But… Hehe…”

Tang Xueying only believes in the power of her poison, but she can’t forgive her complacency when she can’t use poison at the critical moment.

Kai Sent gently stroked Dang Seol-yeong’s cheek as he knelt down in front of her cot to bring her to eye level with him.

“Artie, thank you for protecting Lillian.”
“Honestly, I regret it. If I had helped the master rather than Lillian, this wouldn’t have happened.”
“No. I was able to fight in peace because you were protecting Lillian.”

Subsequently, Kaicent praised Artie for her hard work in protecting Lillian.

Even though his whole body felt like it was going to be torn apart, this small and tender boy cared about others before his own pain.

That’s why Tang Seol-yeong couldn’t forgive herself for neglecting her martial arts training after her metamorphosis, she only combined various poisons.

“Hey. Are you okay?”

At that time, Jin Soo-ah, who had recovered her physical strength, entered the barracks.

“Honestly, I’m not okay. If it wasn’t for Seol-Young’s poison, I would have been screaming in pain.”
“I see. He wielded such monstrous power.”

The reason why Kai Sent feels the pain now is because he has an Excel Pinier, but he followed his father’s martial arts.

Unaware of it as he lost his memory, Kai Sent was thinking this pain was a price to pay for using the Accel Pinier longer than when he was fighting Kang Myung-chul.

“If it’s okay, can I ask you one thing?”
“What?”
“What’s your relationship with the Jin family?”

Jin Soo-ah asked straight-forward questions in order to clear her doubts that had not left her mind.
