“Ugh! Why do I have to do this… … .”

Squeak!

A vampire secretly pours the medicine given to him by Lian into the alcohol provided in the center of the banquet hall.

She had no choice but to follow because she was threatened by Lian.

As a high-ranking species, he is in a position where he has to follow the words of humans.

It was extremely unpleasant, and I was sure that if other members of my race heard, I would be ridiculed for this for the rest of my life.

Nevertheless, I had no choice but to carry out the order.

‘Because it was close to a disaster.’

In the past, she tried to dominate a territory by constantly increasing her household.

In the past, people rose to power by relying solely on vampire blood.

However, her plan was not only thwarted by a single human, but also ended in fear.

‘Even thinking back on what happened back then gives me goosebumps.’

A human standing proudly in front of a horde of orcs and trolls who did not know how to stop their advance.

He was holding a sword that radiated brilliant light, and he recklessly rushed into the group alone.

She thought it was funny at the time, saying he was throwing away his life, but his actions were not reckless.

Even though the orcs and trolls had become much stronger than before with the blood of vampires, he mercilessly slaughtered them with a single sword.

Even when his whole body was covered in blood, he did not stop and cut again and again, enjoying the slaughter.

A human who craves blood even more than a vampire, so much so that even actual vampires were frightened by the sight.

‘Hmm, it’s been quite a while, so my skills may be rusty, and there are compatriots nearby, so it might be worth trying again… ?’

It was a time when the rebellious spirit in the vampire’s heart slowly raised its head.

Kwaaang!

An inexplicable explosion occurred in an annex that was located slightly away from the banquet hall.

All the vampires who had been enjoying group breeding for a while stopped their activities and turned their heads in the direction from which they heard the heavy drinking.

A man who deftly responds with fresh blood sticking out through the banquet hall door and flexible and flawless swordsmanship.

All the vampires at the scene noticed.

The fact that the only person who handles fresh blood that is so clear that there are no impurities is Rod.

‘The monarch is fighting with someone? The other person… … .’

She got goosebumps.

The man who was fighting back, casually blocking Rod’s blood, was none other than Lian, who had given her the order.

Given the circumstances, it was judged that the challenge went beyond vampires and even to Lords.

Even when he was crazy, he was truly a crazy person.

‘It was a presumptuous idea.’

Rather than rusting, he is a much stronger person than he was 12 years ago.

Although I was not holding the holy sword that shone like the dawn, I still did not feel like it was lacking.

As the battle entered, Lian’s momentum spread everywhere, so no vampire could even think of helping Lord fight.

It will be like a shrimp’s back exploding in a whale fight.

‘… … ‘I guess I should just calm down and take my medicine.’

She was a wise vampire.

***

5 minutes before the explosion occurred.

For the first time in his life, Vampire Lord Cardin had his secret revealed to others.

This is the only deviation from the person who inherited the blood of the monarch and has shown himself to be flawless.

It was none other than being fascinated by fur and scales.

In the past, people traveled around the world to learn about the different blood types of each individual.

Kadin had doubts, but came to a realization after seeing the fur of the bat he had used as a familiar.

The fact that the fur is crazy good.

However, because the position of successor had many limitations, Cardin suppressed his desires and continued to strive to become a Lord.

After endless effort, he became a Vampire Lord and slowly began to satisfy his desires by secretly laying the groundwork for his hobby.

‘I was confident that I would never be found out… !’

I was caught at an unexpected time. And that too to those who are not of the same race.

“The monarch’s hobbies are truly noble.”

“Are you making fun of me now?”

“It can’t be. It’s a noble hobby compared to the perverts who eat their own people or like to scream and torture as a hobby.”

“… … It’s hard to understand whether you’re being serious or what you really mean.”

“You can interpret it as you see fit.”

“There is no particular need for interpretation. No matter what your intentions are, my actions will be the same.”

The color of the ground that Cardin was stepping on was turning red and turning into blood.

The power of the Vampire Lord has reached the realm of not only freely manipulating blood, but also creating.

Lian, who witnessed the mystery, also nodded and expressed respect.

The power of creation is the realm of the transcendent.

Although it was limited to blood, it was proof that he had a part of God.

“Are you trying to get rid of me to silence me?”

“If you are going to blame, blame yourself for arbitrarily entering the sanctuary.”

“Before you fight with me, if I told you that I have the same taste, would you let it go?”

“… … If you are like me, find out what the best part about Suin is.”

“Of course, the best attractive point is the tail, right?”

“Wrong. The fur and scales themselves.”

“Your condition was more severe than expected.”

Blood spurted out, filling up the space.

Rian, swept away by the overflowing blood, was forcibly evicted from the secret space.

It didn’t stop there, and the tidal wave of blood dragged him all the way to the banquet hall.

A power that seems to have no limits when it comes to producing blood.

Lian quickly kicked the ground and jumped into the air.

The blood that swept the surrounding area surged upwards, following Lian.

I blocked the onslaught of blood with my sword, but it crashed into the ceiling and created a hole in the rooftop.

“I expected it, but it was stronger than I expected.”

“If I were not strong, I would already be a corpse.”

“Then I will see for myself how long I can endure.”

The blood that relentlessly pushes Rian.

Blood does not disappear when cut, and can be created infinitely, so it was impossible to deal with it.

Lian had no choice but to be at a disadvantage against Kadin, who was the strongest blood mage of the time.

“As expected, the load is of a different level. I don’t see any gap where I can counterattack.”

[Great crisis!]

“Rather than a crisis, I don’t know why, but I don’t want to fight the vampire lord. But if you have no choice but to fight until the end… … .”

Rian straightens his back, holding the iron sword tightly with both hands.

He raised his head stiffly and looked straight at Cardin.

Cardin, who had never blinked until now, swallowed for the first time.

“If this continues, the fight will not end until one side dies. The mansion will most likely collapse. However, if you show me mercy, I will retreat quietly.”

“Are you telling Jim to spare the person who witnessed the secret?”

“Wouldn’t it be over as long as you don’t say it’s a secret?”

“I don’t think it’s credible, perhaps because it’s said by a rat hiding in an auction warehouse.”

“Then, if you listen to my request, I will risk my life as a contract not to reveal any secrets.”

Cardin bobbed his chin and allowed himself to speak.

Cardin, who understood Rian’s skills, judged that if they fought properly, the mansion would not be left standing.

I did not want to cause inconvenience to my compatriots who were enjoying the banquet for a long time.

“Someone I know is a vampire named Rumi.”

“This is a vampire who was suspected of stealing Count Camilla’s bloodstone at the previous banquet.”

“It was a false accusation. Someone did it in hopes of causing Rumi misfortune, so please be kind to her. That is my one and only request.”

“Are you a descendant of someone named Rumi?”

“Not a subordinate, but an ordinary escort.”

Rian took off the mask with his own hands and revealed his face.

There was not a single characteristic that could be identified as a vampire or clan.

Cardin looked at Lian’s appearance and laughed.

It was unprecedented and unexpected for a human to attend a vampires’ banquet, so I laughed.

“Let’s add one more condition. If you can match my full power, I will accept your request.”

“Then I’ll add one more too!”

“If this continues, there will be no end.”

“Because I’m the type of person who can’t live at a loss.”

‘So what other conditions are you planning to add?”

“If I can block the power, would it be okay to let the monarch’s blood seep into the iron sword?”

“I grant permission. Even so, my strike uses my own blood, not the blood that was created.”

Cardin clenched his fists and stabbed his palms with sharp nails, causing blood to seep out.

The noble Lord’s blood flowing down his wrist soon rose into the sky and took the shape of a red spear.

“Adum Gerk. It is a magic spear that only I can create.”

“It is full power both in name and reality.”

“Jim doesn’t tell lies.”

“So, can you accept it?”

“I will do my best.”

Lian took a deep breath and then sucked it in.

As I entered the realm of trance, I shifted my gaze from Cardin to the magic spear.

The only thing that needs to be cut down is the magic spear.

If you make a mistake, your body will be pierced or your iron sword will break.

He instinctively felt this fact and raised his iron sword as he felt pressure.

“Then try to block it!”

“Huh… !”

A spear of fresh blood approached me before I could even blink.

Lian kept his gaze fixed on the window and swung his sword with all his might.

A clash between the strongest spear and the weakest sword.

Breaking the expectation that there would be a power struggle to destroy each other, the conclusion occurred immediately.

An iron sword that cuts cleanly through the sharp tip of a spear.

The ugly iron sword was shining in the pitch black as it cut through the Vampire Lord’s spear and simultaneously sucked his blood.

“… … Huh, I was wondering why he wanted my blood, but I guess it was to raise the level of the sword.”

“Yes, I am.”

“By destroying the magic spear and absorbing the blood, a sword imbued with a story was born. It looks like it’s shining brightly on this pitch-black night, embracing starlight.”

“… … That’s right.”

“What is the name of your sword?”

“It was undecided until just now, but after hearing the monarch’s words, a good name came to mind.”

“Ho, tell it to your luggage.”

“Stella. The name of the sword that shines like a star is Stella.”

[sex!]

An iron sword that has so far reacted indifferently to any naming.

I could understand why such an iron sword screamed sex without having to interpret it.
