They say it’s a bat estrus inducer, but of course vampires aren’t bats.

The special medicine was made by mixing medicinal herbs used in human society with stimulating and stimulating effects.

Considering the possibility that the alchemist may have resistance to drugs due to magic, an effect that lowers the alchemist’s anti-magic power was also added.

No matter how thoroughly you prepare, considering the number of vampires, only a small amount of medicine will be administered.

The effect didn’t last very long, so we had to move quickly.

“Entry is prohibited except for those involved!”

“Please return quickly… … .”

“I know.”

Watchmen guarding the auction warehouse.

They weren’t going to touch alcohol until the banquet was over, so they had no choice but to take it down themselves.

He took out an iron sword and cut the two men’s necks in half.

He broke the lock on the door with his fist and entered.

However, there were no dazzling gold and silver treasures in the warehouse, only a sturdy man sitting on a chair.

“I never thought there would be a crazy bastard trying to touch the auction items this time, just like last year.”

“Oops, I didn’t consider the possibility that they had prepared a separate trap.”

“I won’t miss you this time, you thief.”

The feeling of death pricking your skin and the pressure that tightens your body.

Although it is not a pureblood vampire, it was expected to be of the same level or higher as a pureblood.

In the case of these vampires, it’s usually… … .

“Now that I think about it, the host of this banquet was a Lord Vampire, right? So are you one of his descendants?”

“I’ll admit that you have a sharp eye.”

“Kyaaa! It’s an honor to be able to fight the Lord’s direct subordinate!”

“It’s a long story. Since ancient times, prosecutors only communicate with their swords.”

“I am the sword itself, so it’s okay to say that, right?”

“Jokes like that are not worth listening to.”

It jumped up and approached me at the same time.

A sword that looked as hideous as Hibana was thrown out, so I instinctively avoided the sword strike.

The moment I was confident that I had dodged it, the sword’s trajectory was bent in the middle and rushed forward.

A blow that came through a momentary gap.

He quickly intercepted the opponent’s sword tip with his iron sword and parried it away.

“As expected, as a member of the Lord’s family, he is highly skilled in swordsmanship.”

“You block my sword from the front… … .”

“You won’t be disappointed. It was only for a moment, but it made me feel cold.”

If I had been careless without knowing that I was a member of Lord’s family, I might have given up my head.

It was the first powerful enemy I encountered since I went into hiding.

Although it is not at a level comparable to a dragon, I think it would be a satisfying entertainment opponent.

“Huh!”

“Ahaha!”

[fun!]

Chae-a-chae-a-chae-aeng-!

Every time their swords clashed, the inside of the dark warehouse flickered.

I was worried that the iron sword would be less durable compared to the opponent’s sword, but I was worried for no reason.

The iron sword has also become strong enough to enjoy the current situation.

By cutting down those of high rank, the rank of the iron sword also increased.

People may say that there is no value to an inanimate sword, but that is incorrect knowledge.

Even a common stone can be transformed into a magic stone if it is soaked with the blood or thoughts of a demon king or dragon.

The same goes for iron swords. Starting with Drake, high-ranking demons, orcs, vampires, and even my blood seeped into it.

But if it’s still ordinary iron, shouldn’t it be called the Demon Sword of Bad Luck?

“Uh, how can you keep up with my speed?”

“Are we really keeping up?”

“Ugh!”

They performed a splendid sword dance at his speed.

However, it seemed like I couldn’t get any faster than now, so I increased my speed this time.

He was struggling to catch the sword, but as his strength gradually increased, the number of stab wounds on his body increased significantly.

“Let’s play a little faster!”

“It’s going to be faster now… ?”

“I hope you hold on until the end.”

If it were an ordinary person, it wouldn’t have been surprising if the arm had already dislocated and went limp.

A higher tempo was realized and presented.

In the end, my wish did not come true and he collapsed, bleeding profusely.

“As expected, being part of a family circle is the limit… … .”

He showed off his bravery by waving his arms while holding his sword until the end, but his life was long gone.

Still, it was fun because it had been a while since I fought with pure sword skills.

Satisfied, I left the warehouse.

Then, a sticky and dense moaning sound penetrated my ears.

“Wow, the effectiveness of the medicine is killer. Someone would think they were at a pig pen rather than a banquet hall.”

[Let’s! Group orgy!]

“You seem to be in a good mood.”

[I have become stronger! Exuding confidence to kill any sword!]

“I always enjoy hearing your wit.”

[There is no other sword like me in the world! Owner, I love you!]

“Yes, yes.”

I expected that if the level was raised just a little bit more, it would be at a similar level to the swords I used.

I think I need to finish naming the iron sword, which I’ve been putting off for a while.

“You came to the right place this time.”

Enter the second warehouse after killing the guards as before.

Unlike the gloomy atmosphere of the warehouse, this time all four sides were golden.

It was filled with piles of mouth-watering treasures that made me happy just to look at them.

However, there was no time to dwell on the lingering emotions, so I decided to take only the treasures that seemed valuable.

“… … At first I thought it was a treasure trove, but when I looked again, it was just a garbage dump.”

A magic stone that dilutes blood with water, an ancient phosphorite created by luminescent bats, a mummy who died of hemorrhage, etc.

From a human perspective, it was full of things that I couldn’t understand why people wanted to collect these things.

The hobby was not noble, but rather bizarre.

In the end, all that was salvaged was the ancient dragon’s blood and a ring that could be used to recharge blood to use blood magic.

The rest was all useless junk.

While I was contemplating whether to leave after blowing up the warehouse, there was a device that suddenly caught my eye.

A small lever embedded in the wall in the corner of the warehouse.

It was so small that it was hard to see with the naked eye, so I didn’t even know it was there at first.

If I hadn’t looked carefully, I would have passed by without noticing it.

“Of course!”

Are you holding an auction for miscellaneous items that no one will care about except for a few?

It was nonsense.

I almost got fooled.

The treasure to be auctioned existed separately.

If you operate the lever, a secret space will appear and a true treasure trove will appear before your eyes.

I pulled the lever down with a repentant smile.

Then, as expected, the warehouse area began to shake and cracks in the walls began to widen.

A secret staircase hidden in the warehouse appeared and drew me inside.

Stone stairs leading down to the basement of the mansion.

For a moment, a hidden room inside Richie’s mansion came to mind, but it was different.

At the time, the smell of a decomposing body stung my nose, but now there was a strangely subtle scent lingering in the air.

“Isn’t there something like a secret laboratory rather than a treasure?”

[A factory that produces blood?]

“Ugh! I don’t even want to imagine it!”

But I wasn’t sure that wasn’t the case.

Because there are a lot of crazy vampires in the world.

There were likely to be enough vampires hanging around various races and drinking their blood.

I stood in front of the door at the end of the stairs, desperately praying that it wasn’t like that.

For some reason, the red light coming through the crack in the door did not bode well.

Isn’t this crossing forbidden territory?

“Hey! I don’t know anymore!”

Rattling-!

I opened the door wide and went inside.

Then a thunderous voice burst out at me.

“““““Welcome! New master!”””””

Maids with bright and clear voices greeted me and gave me welcome greetings.

I wondered if it was a resting place for the maids within the mansion rather than a hidden treasure trove.

To say so, three questions arose.

First, why is there a secret room hidden in the treasure trove?

Second, why is it that no employees, such as maids, are seen inside the mansion except the butler?

Lastly, thirdly, why are all the maids in the room of secrets prisoners?

It also looked different from the beastmen with ears and tail commonly seen in the world.

Even its skin was covered with fur and scales, and its snout was protruding.

An appearance that emphasizes more of an animalistic aspect rather than a human aspect.

Is that why? The maids’ eyes looking at me were unusual.

It looked like it was going to attack me and rape me at any moment, following the rules of the wild, which is the rule of the fittest.

[No treasure! Disappointment!]

“So, why is there a space like this in the vampire’s mansion…? … .”

“Whew!”

Suddenly, a short scream is heard from behind.

When I looked back, a red-haired vampire who looked older was standing there.

The rich scent of blood and heavy intimidation felt from him.

Even I might have become nervous if he hadn’t opened his mouth wide while looking at me.

That means he is the protagonist of this banquet and the pinnacle of vampires.

I looked at him suspiciously.

“Lord? Do you have any tastes? … ?”

“Oh, no! The baggage came here by chance as an unprecedented passageway opened up in the warehouse!”

“Existing owners, welcome too! I prepared it by cutting a hole in the peeled shell and large hairball that you requested the day before!”

“K, keuhm!”

He was a Lord Vampire who was suspiciously sincere toward Suin.
