042 – Queen of the Night #4

042 – Queen of the Night #4

The sun goes down.

And the full moon began to fall in the sky.

“Time is running out.”

Garrot, who was looking up at the sky from the roof of the building, frowned at the darkening world.

Strange shadows appeared one by one and began to surround the rooftop building with the garrot, but the shapes were very ominous.

“Are they servants? It seems our location has been discovered.”

Garot pulled out a small sword from his waist.

Squeeze-.

As Garot gently slipped out of the scabbard and gazed at the sharp-purple blade, the sorceress Brigitte, who summoned a staff from the air, shouted.

“It must have been natural since I was wandering all over the place. And night is the time of vampires! They don’t like that we’re in Number 61.”

Brigitte looked at the shadows surrounding the building.

If you look closely, they were vampires wearing the twilight darkness like a cloak.

“There are so many vampires. Garot, can you fight?”

“To be precise, they are the descendants of blood relatives. These guys are nothing more than servants of the mother vampire. Even so, the risk remains the same. Each subjugation level is at least Dong.”

Subjugation Level Dong.

Considering that the average karma of Pangea adventurers is between level 10 and level 20, bronze, the risk of these members was quite high.

ㅡ Kaaa!!!

Young female vampires lunged at the building with a shrieking noise.

They climbed the wall as fast as spiders, but before I knew it, some beings were attacking Garot, exposing sharp teeth like sharks.

“… … .”

Garot hit Sotaedo from bottom to top with all his might.

Chow-!

Like that, he cut a female vampire in half, and struck the sword at an angle, cutting another female vampire in half from the top of his head to his left side.

– Kkeaaa!

ㅡKiaaa!

The vampires cut in half screamed and burned, leaving ashes behind.

The skill of killing two vampires at once, who are said to make the village in trouble even if only one hides.

Seeing that, Brigitte was slightly amazed.

“The cowtae, too, is now made of blessed white silver. It is said to be particularly effective against beings encroached upon by demons. Is that the sword that killed the king of monsters in the “Old City”?”

“… … .”

Garot did not answer.

He simply swiped his sword quickly through the air, brushing off the vampire’s blood from the beautiful pure white blade.

Those unmoved eyes stared at the constantly swarming vampires.

“We must defeat the main body that is the mother of blood relatives. If he can’t do that, he will constantly increase his followers and try to devour us as well.”

It was a theory.

As Garot calmly recited his thesis, Brigitte looked at the women surrounding her.

She had pale skin and was wearing a corset and tight undergarments.

It’s like cheap prostitutes.

“Aren’t you ashamed of wearing only underwear?”

Looking at those unscrupulous figures, Brigitte thought it was a good thing to exclude Judas from this investigation.

-Grrr… .

ㅡ Kahaaa… .

“I guess I don’t even have a reason. Vampires are beings with the nature of being half-human, half-horse. I’d like to take at least one person along to do some research. It seems there is no room for that.”

Padak, padak, padak-.

Dig out-.

– Mouse!

– Bat it!

With her head raised, Brigitte’s eyes saw a swarm of bats flying somewhere.

In the location they are heading, there is probably the existence that Brigitte and Garrot are looking for.

Woo woo-.

Brigitte said while imbuing her wand with magic.

“Queen of the Night, or Scheheherazade, the courtesan of the entertainment district. The target we are looking for is that person. One of the rulers of this number 61 and a villain who kidnaps women.”

After – Brigitte calmly took a breath.

She ordered the magic of destruction seething from her heart.

“Destruction. explosion. flame.”

It was the moment when three words were chanted.

aaang-!

A black spark of a devastating explosion rose around Brigitte.

The vampires who wore it were engulfed in irresistible flames and burned to ashes in an instant.

Seeing that, Garot’s eyes, which had been indifferent to everything until now, shone slightly.

“This level of power with only 3-word chanting in the 3rd circle. It seems that being awarded the unusual ‘black’ wasn’t a simple bluff.”

Among the wizards that Garot had seen while wandering through numerous battlefields and hunting grounds, Brigitte had the most destructive power.

‘It’s not a realm that was obtained in a normal way. It probably has something to do with what might be called a taboo. Just like these vampires.’

Garrot decided to be wary of Brigitte as well.

Because she had seen countless strong men running amok in the bloody feast in the dark.

In particular, wizards were well aware of their vulnerability to corruption and contamination.

‘But now, the first thing to worry about is the vampire. The level of the family is at least Bronze. If that’s the case, the main body will reach platinum beyond the realm by using taboos.’

Al-Sahad, the necromancer of the Arubaba bandits.

No, it seems to surpass al-Sahad in terms of stealth and skill.

“It’s like a vampire who has lived for at least 100 years. be careful. The dangers of older vampires must be greater than you can imagine.”

– Ugh, what is this!

-I’m bitten!

In Garot’s ears, the voices of ordinary people screaming here and there were heard.

It must be because the vampire whose beehive was stung didn’t hide his identity and was swaying like he was going to devour everything in this 61st street.

A city with a full moon.

Fangs and howls.

scream.

death.

All of this began to awaken Garot’s old memories.

Garot took out a black muffler from his bosom and wrapped it around his face like a mask to cover up the dizzying smell of iron powder. With that, Garot’s personality completely disappeared.

Now only one hunter remains.

“The garrot of Iscariot. Let the hunt begin.”

* * *

Number 61 has always been a place full of screams.

Especially full of women’s screams.

But now the noise of blood, flames and destruction resounded everywhere.

“It’s a beautiful night that couldn’t be better to scream.”

“Night Garden” is the largest building in this 61st street.

The red-haired woman on the top floor looked down at the world with her ruby-red eyes shining brightly.

The figure fluttering in the wind was wearing a red evening dress, just like a river of blood, and the curves of the body were clearly revealed in the tight material.

“It was on a night like today that the original daughter gained eternal life. So, who will be the first to arrive in front of the original woman? Are you a hunter? Wizard? Otherwise–“

vampire.

「Jinjo – Scheheherazade」 who has lived for at least 2 centuries.

She put a glass of wine-red blood in her hand and shook it.

“When the youngster of the Alubaba bandits fell, I thought it was a coincidence. But no. They are moving against us, Tenebris. Could it be that you noticed the original woman’s plan?”

Vampire Scheheherazade muttered to herself leisurely and relaxed.

But those who knew her well would have noticed that Scheheherazade was greatly agitated.

Scheheherazade wasn’t the type to talk to herself.

‘The situation is not good.’

Scheheherazade abducted women from this number 61 and made them his food or his followers.

very secretly.

No one had any doubts.

It was common for women to disappear from brothels.

With that feeling, I had to gather more strength for at least a year.

However, the fact that a black mage and a hunter entered Number 61 at this time was Scheheherazade’s worst misfortune.

‘Especially, the hunter Garot has the worst compatibility with the original woman. I’ve even heard of it About the hunter who slaughtered the king of demons in the 「Old City」.

old city.

The ancient city was invaded by demons during the war and became a living hell.

A hunter who single-handedly slayed Nocturne’s great warrior ‘King of Beasts’ who descended there.

Butcher Garrot.

Surely it was called by that name?

“But the original woman won’t be treated lightly either.”

Flip flops -.

Numerous bats flocked to Scheheherazade’s side.

They spilled blood from all over this Principality of Phrygia on Scheheherazade’s body today.

Cheodeok, Cheodeok-.

Red blood sprayed over Scheheherazade’s body like a shower.

“great. A lot of blood is gathering. I feel like I won’t lose to anyone right now.”

I felt a surge of power from deep inside my body.

* * *

– Kaaa… !

“Ow, shack… !”

A woman in only underwear pounced on me.

If it was because I liked it, I would have liked it too, but she was running out of control as if she was going to bite everything with her sharp fangs.

I raised my hand and hit the woman’s neck vigorously.

“Play Arirang.”

With a thump, a woman with a broken neck bone squirms on the floor.

An ordinary person would have been killed instantly, but the opponent was no ordinary woman.

-Kaaa, Kaaa… !

“Life sucks. Are you a member of the vampire family?”

There were countless numbers of these beings on the streets.

A bunch of people falling down after being bitten or torn apart.

Now you’ve started wandering around Number 61 openly.

They all seemed to have no intention of hiding their identities.

“They must have been cornered to such an extent that they couldn’t hide their identity. It must mean Garot and Brigitte are getting closer and closer to the main body.”

It seemed like a good idea to join them.

That’s because I didn’t have time.

“Gyao… !”

Naru, who was riding on my back, made a noise like a ferocious beast.

I asked in surprise.

“Naruya, have you already become a vampire?”

“no! I just cried along with those older sisters! Naruto is still fine! If there’s something unusual, I want to eat red strawberries… !”

“That’s right. You were surprised.”

Earlier, Naru was bitten by a bat.

It was clear that she was probably bitten by the familiar of a vampire called “The Whore of the Night”.

—-Gahhh! Bats bite!

-Be careful not to get bitten! When are the replacement guards coming!

-No. 61 is not a regular area, so the guards don’t come… .

There were still people bitten by bats flying everywhere.

They seemed to collect blood by attacking any human.

Perhaps the main body, feeling threatened by the invasion of Garrot and Brigitte, began to collect blood by sending familiars and followers in all directions.

In other words.

It was unintentional, but Naru was damaged by the operation to interrogate the 61st street.

“Originally, I didn’t intend to intervene in this investigation.”

I was thinking of leaving this job to Brigitte, Garrot, and Enkidus.

If it’s the guys, they’ll be able to handle it on their own.

But that was no longer possible.

Swoop-.

I raised my head.

around 11pm.

There is time before the morning sun rises.

If the main body was not defeated by then, Naru might become a member of the vampire’s family forever. As a result, I couldn’t leave it entirely to Brigitte, Garrot, and Enkidus.

It’s not that I doubt the guys’ skills, but there’s a thing called “just in case”.

“Naruya, tell me if you think you’ll become a vampire.”

“You don’t like vampires?”

“Vampires are pretty good too. can hide in the dark You can transform into a bat. Drinking their blood will give you superhuman strength.”

“Ow, shack… ! Vampires are cool… !”

Naru really liked it.

That’s because I only listed the good things about becoming a vampire.

“On the downside, you can’t see the sun. Then you won’t be able to go to school and you won’t be able to eat lunch. You should drink only tasteless blood every day.”

“Ugh, I can’t eat school lunch… . Naru, thinking about it again, I don’t like vampires… ! Naru likes sunlight… !”

Good luck.

If Naru changed jobs as a vampire, he would have gone to bed in the morning and woke up at night.

Then I wouldn’t be able to find a normal job, and I might be stuck at home like a hikikomori.

– I am the 25-year-old Naru Baryu! I didn’t go to school, and of course I didn’t even get a job! Sleep in the morning and wake up at night to play! Gotta suck Daddy’s spine! I’ll suck your blood! Give me your blood!

Oh wow… !

Such a future must be prevented!

I said hastily.

“Naruya, do you feel anything? It’s still a long way from becoming a vampire, but I’m still in the process of becoming a member of my own family, so I’m saying that I’m connected to the main body?”

“It feels… . You want to eat strawberries?”

“Not like that.”

“Ugh… . Not strawberry… .”

Naru, who was carried on my back, fell silent as if concentrating on something.

The boy who had been thinking for so long finally shouted.

“Naru is Molu… !”

“Right.”

“I think I can hear someone crying, but… I don’t know where. It seems to be calling Naru… . Is it over there? there?”

Naru pointed her finger at the roof of a distant building.

It was the “Garden of the Night”, a palace in an entertainment district where I visited to meet an astrologer.
