Chapter 126 – 126. The Vampire

The vampire floating in the sky grinned and stretched out his hand. A stream of blood flowed from his palm and shot straight toward the ground.

Seeing the bloody magic flying towards him, Yohan let out a sigh of relief. Then he immediately threw his fist.

Fuu-! The bloody rays of light that touched his fist exploded as they were, and began to flow in all directions.

“What!?”

The vampire was astonished at the unbelievable sight of not blocking or avoiding, but simply punching and crushing them.

In the midst of his panic, Regina, who watched the scene, used the most effective item against the vampire among the scrolls she had.

“Light-!”
“Turn it off!”

Aaaaa-!

The bats surrounding his body are hit by an intense beam of light and begin to scatter in all directions.

When the bats that blocked the sunlight disappeared, the vampire immediately hid itself in the shadows.

Seeing such a scene, Yohan quickly ran towards the sunny side. Regina asked, clinging right next to him.

“Now what are you going to do?”
“I don’t know! Why ask me that!? You are the witch of the record! Do something!”
“Um- Vampires’ weaknesses are: A sun, a silver weapon that is sanctified, a flowing river, a stake stuck in the heart, a stronger vampire…….”
“What can I do now!?”
“Unfortunately not.”

Vampires are monsters with powerful regenerative powers. In addition to its regenerative power, it also possesses an outstanding intellect that is not inferior to humans.

However, because of that self-evident weakness, I saw a record that it was successfully sealed in the Holy Kingdom, but it seems that the Demon Dragon succeeded in releasing the seal in this short period of time.

“Why is such a monster here?”
“Blood moon. We thought it was just an unusually shaped island…… I guess that wasn’t the case.”
“What secrets does this island hold?”
“For now, we can only speculate.”

Johan, who ran to some extent, succeeded in discovering the scorching sun with no shade in all directions. I was careful not to create a shadow under the scorching sun, and I was vigilant in all directions.

“If the sun is as strong as this, you won’t be able to approach it, right?”
“I’m not sure. If they come to us by ministering animals like before, there is no way to stop them.”
“…… Well, but- you can see it coming from afar.”

After seeing the vampire move into the shadows to avoid the sun, Johann decided that it was safer to at least stay under the scorching sun with limited movement.

Rather than being in a shady forest and being attacked without knowing which direction it was coming from, it was better to see it flying.

It was winter, so being under the scorching sun wasn’t too painful. Rather, just the right warmth came over them, so they could stay like this all day.

Leaning back against Regina, John cautiously called her by name.

“Regina, what were you talking about earlier?”
“If it’s what I was going to say…….”
“You said there was a way out of here.”
“…… I just need to wake up.”
“Awakening?”

Nod- Regina nodded and told the story of awakened witches.

“Miss Beatrice, originally, she was a witch who could only control her own puppets, but as long as her magic allowed, she could handle all beings like puppets. Miss Evangeline. She has been able to change the preferences of places out of my reach.”

Awakening is the realization of so-called one-level higher magic. If you can awaken, you can do things that you couldn’t do before.

Regina thought that if she awakened, she would be able to use their magic without the help of other witches.

And if so, you can escape from here. Just in case there’s a problem…

“I don’t know how.”

That you don’t know how to awaken. Beatrice, who had awakened for the first time, consumed all her mana and awakened. Therefore, he thought that the total consumption of mana was the condition for awakening.

However, Evangeline is said to have awakened without any hardships or penance. From what I’ve heard, sex was interrupted or something.

In other words, the condition is medium heating. As a witch of record, she was strong against statistics, but weak against random things, Regina was not sure that she could awaken.

“It was such a useless story.”
“Yes, I think I brought it up for nothing.”
“Nope. Awakening, awakening…… I’ll keep it in my head.”

John stomped his feet as he said that. The bat that hit his foot his squeaks and screams.

As if using the scream as a signal, bats came from all directions. The vision is blocked and darkness begins to spread everywhere.

“Squeak squeak squeak-“
“Jjijijijik-!”

“…… Fuck this.”

In an instant, John, who was covered in darkness, looked at Regina. She shook her head and signaled that there was nothing left.

When she did not use her magic her, a vampire emerged from the darkness.

“Hmm-I don’t know what the intention was—but it’s too late now.”

The vampire who appeared smiled and pointed at the bats.

“This curtain overlapped in three or four layers. You won’t be able to get rid of it just by bursting a beam of light.”

Even the vampires cast shadows over the curtain of bats. Even if Regina bursts with intense light like before, she won’t be able to get rid of the bats and the shadow curtain in an instant.

It would take quite a while, and as a vampire, he was confident enough to kill two people in that amount of time.

Recognizing that he was firmly in the position of cap, the vampire grinned and opened his mouth.

“Let’s talk before that.”
“…… What?”
“Witch, are you a virgin?”

Upon hearing the absurd question, John looked at the vampire with a puzzled expression.

But the vampire didn’t care about his expression, and Regina didn’t show much displeasure at the fact that she was being questioned to pass the time.

“Yes, but.”
“Good. Very good-.”
“If you’re not a virgin, what’s the problem?”
“Ah—because the blood of a non-virgin has no taste.”

Saying that, the vampire began to lick his lips. Looking at the razor-sharp fangs, Johan realized why the vampire spoke of Regina’s virginity.

From ancient times, a vampire is a monster with a legend saying that it likes the blood of virgins the most. This was a famous story even on the earth where John lived.

I was uncomfortable with the fact that the vampires in another world had the same tradition as the vampires on Earth…….

While secretly concentrating on Regina’s virginity, John quickly ran towards the tent.

“It’s ugly. Human. Where are you going to jump on your feet?”

The vampire saw John running away and took no action. She thought he would not be able to pass through the veil she had created.

As expected, John arrived at the tent and realized that he could not pass through the tent due to the bats biting him. He did so even though he used his magic his to nullify magic.

‘No fuck…….’

John could quickly understand why. The vampire was controlling these bats, but not in a particularly magical way.

Just as the organic movements of hundreds of bees and ants were not due to some kind of magical means, that vampire was controlling the bats in an extremely chemical way.

And in front of physical means, John becomes extremely weak. He is a superman who has surpassed human beings, but he was not so good at wrinkling in front of real monsters.

“I thought he was a guy who could do it when he saw how to get rid of magic, but was he just a paladin?”
“…… Not really.”
“Haha! Are you scared and running away? A paladin? Have you abandoned my faith?”

The vampire thought John was a paladin. That’s also the unsightly paladin who abandoned his god in front of the fear of death.

Vampire-like monsters were his favorites. Paladins are not easily made. An existence that only those with unbreakable faith can become.

Denying that such a paladin is a paladin in front of me means that I have given them enough fear to throw away their faith.

Where is such sweet praise? The vampire was genuinely delighted.

“Where else can you try? Abandon God, trample on!”

The vampire who landed in front of John said so and urged John to curse God. She had nothing to do with John, who did not believe in God, but she felt a sense of rejection for some reason.

Was it because he was unworthy of following the vampire, or was it because she thought that the moment she heard him, she would kill herself right away.

Either way, I couldn’t help but hesitate. Seeing Yohan hesitate so much, the vampire started to laugh even louder.

“You go there.”

Seeing John hesitate in front of the vampire, Regina opened her mouth. Hearing her witch’s words her, the vampire glanced at her and turned her head.

Regina was glaring at her vampire, her hands her spread out in front of her own stomach her.

“If you touch John, I will remove your virginity with my own hands right here.”
“Hey, I guess there’s no difference if a man’s spirit doesn’t come in direct contact?”
“That small difference separates luxury goods from mass-produced goods.”

Perhaps Regina’s words had some meaning, the vampire clicked her tongue once and then turned to John.

“Humans, good luck—”
“Damn it, bitch-!”
“Kwaweeek-!?”

Taking advantage of the moment when the vampire turned her head, Yohan, who was preparing a punch with all his might, threw his fist at him.

Not at the level of a boxer’s straight line, but as if a shot put, the fist drawn from far away hit the vampire’s chin as it is.

The magical fist blew off the jaw itself, and John shouted at Regina as he saw the vampire lying on the floor.

“Hey, let’s jump!”
“Uh huh?”

As the vampires controlling them fainted and the uncontrolled bats trembled, John pierced the curtain with the bats and immediately ran away.
