“Wow~ It’s time to go out!!”

Irina jumped up and down with an excited expression.

“It’s been a while since I came out.”

I smiled softly and blocked the sunlight with my hand.

Maybe it’s because it’s already summer, but the sun is shining…

Unlike in the past, when direct damage occurred and debris fell, now there is no harm in being exposed to sunlight.

Even though it is the strong sunlight that is unique to summer.

In the past, with this much sunlight, it would have been so stinging that I would not have even wanted to go outside.

I took a quick look around.

The sight of a street lined with white board blocks welcomed us.

I’ve heard that the area where the Magic Tower is located is well developed, but I always wonder if this is really a fantasy world.

What should I say… It might be different in a world where only science has developed, but the cityscape of a world where magic and science have developed together feels very unfamiliar.

It’s just one more thing, but it’s amazing to see such a difference.

‘I said I had no intention of coming out for a month, but… ‘Maybe I should have sneaked around a bit.’

The last time I went out was the inauguration ceremony, so in fact, starting from that day, I didn’t go out even once for a month.

Since he had been living in the magic tower for an entire month, it was natural for him to look unfamiliar.

Just by looking at it from the outside, my heart races because it feels like I am seeing a city in the future, hundreds of years from modern times.

but… There was one thing that was quite absurd when looking at this scenery.

“This is poverty… ”

Still, for now, it’s not like there was no development at all around the Magic Tower, so there were a lot of people walking on the neatly organized streets, and there were floating stones floating in the sky, acting as a kind of elevator and bridge.

On the outside, it seems like a huge amount of money was spent on it, but in reality, the magic tower that was built like this is going through a financial crisis.

In fact, I knew that I was originally poor.

Well, you always say you don’t have money, but wouldn’t it be even weirder if you didn’t know?

However, until then, I thought it was relatively cheap because it was a non-mainstream and unpopular magic tower, but I had no idea that it was a crisis so big that the magic tower collapsed.

‘The teleport station and the airship… It’s definitely an item that isn’t used much in normal times, so it would be right to start organizing the money to spend on it.’

It takes quite a lot of money to feed the thousands of wizards living in the Magic Tower.

Since there are quite a few magic stones going into the magic tower itself, the money will inevitably be bigger.

First of all, is money the first resource you should aim for?

‘As expected, the right answer was to go to the Ether Tower first.’

From what I heard, it is said that the role of the Ether Tower is to provide basic support to the Magic Tower.

I heard that the amount of support has decreased significantly due to lack of performance.

To increase this, going to the Ether Tower is a priority.

“But how do I get there?”

While I was walking down the street and looking at the scenery, Irina asked me something that just occurred to her.

I grinned at him.

In the past, when I was a high-ranking vampire at max level, I could fly at incredible speeds, but I don’t know how much faster I can now that I have become a true ancestor.

“Come here.”

He smiled brightly at my words, hugged Irina as she came to me, and then used blood magic to draw blood from my body and put it on my back.

“Hehe?!”

Irina shouted in surprise as blood came out and turned into wings.

Why are you surprised by something like this?

“I’m going to fly with this, so watch carefully. Maybe you can follow along.”

“Mo, I don’t think I can follow along… ”

Even as Irina said that, she couldn’t control her curiosity, so she stretched out her finger and tapped my wing.

It seemed fascinating because it was elaborately made into the shape of wings, but it soon looked regretful and became lost in worry.

“Is there any problem?”

I just thought you would like it.

“Wow… Yes… ”

I developed it, but even though it looks like this, it is a technology that requires very sophisticated blood manipulation techniques.

Actually, when I first made it, it was difficult just to squeeze the shape, so I said everything.

Nowadays, I can make it without any effort, but at the time, there was no help from the system, so it can be seen as a technology that was purely my own effort.

Do you not recognize the charm of these wings? !!

‘I can’t help but lament… ‘

This is why things don’t work these days.

They don’t know that whether it’s blood magic or blood magic, style is as important as efficiency.

In a fight, being stylish without getting in the way is also very important.

There is nothing more disappointing than simply moving the blood around and not having any proper skills.

So, I paid a lot of attention to the modeling as well.

This is to ensure that blood clotting techniques are as efficient and beautiful as possible.

By spreading its beautiful bat-shaped wings wide, its power output was raised to the limit.

A vampire with a bat motif. Wings are important when it comes to vampires!

I thought I would understand it if I decided to learn blood magic, but it seems I was wrong.

I tried to open my mouth with a truly sad expression, but…

“That… The wings are really cool… It’s pretty… Absolutely great. I think it suits you very well.”

“… What?”

what.

It wasn’t a wing.

I… again…

I almost got upset because I thought the wings I worked so hard to create were ugly, but I’m glad I did.

rather…

‘Sigh… ‘

The younger a child is, the less able he is to lie and the more honest he is, so telling him that he’s really cool, pretty, and nice really caught my attention.

flutter flutter

“Oh, it’s moving! Amazing~!”

Oops, I was so happy that I moved my wings without realizing it.

Anyway, Irina was laughing and fiddling with the wings, as if it was amazing that the wings were moving.

I cleared my throat and opened my mouth, trying hard to hide my joy.

“Okay… So what is the problem?”

“Ah… that is… I wondered if I could fly with this… ”

ah.

Was that the problem?

“I’m not doubting you! just… I did it because it was fascinating.”

“Well, once you experience it, it will help you practice… ”

This isn’t flying using lift, but flying by applying blood magic to the extreme, so it’s not an impossible technique if you practice blood magic hard.

Of course, it will be extremely difficult.

“Wow, wow?!”

I unfolded my blood magic, lightly picked up Irina, and flew up into the sky.

“Where… Now I have to fly to the Ether Tower, so I’ll just give you a little taste.”

It’s been a long time since I accurately figured out the direction using a map.

“Fly at maximum speed.”

I need to quickly go back to my room and shower.

After gathering magical energy into the wings…

‘Emitted all at once.’

Quaaaang!

At the same time as there was a tremendous sound of air exploding, my body was instantly shot upward.

“Isn’t it difficult?”

“Huh? It’s okay!”

Irina answered with a bright smile.

Judging by the fact that the voice can be heard well, it seems that the performance was done well without any mistakes even though it has been a long time since the performance was performed.

I rose lightly into the sky and headed toward the direction I had seen on the map earlier.

The ride will be comfortable because the recoil applied to Irina’s body as well as air resistance are blocked using blood control techniques.

“Wow!”

Irina looked down at the cityscape passing by in an instant and looked amazed.

Well, seeing you like it so much makes me feel good…

“Huh?”

What are those?

I deliberately came up high in the sky for fear of being disturbed.

Even though we are far apart, I am the true ancestor with pure bloodline among vampires.

In a clear sky with a clear view of the surroundings, it was not unusual to see an object as large as an airship even if it was far away.

The moment I saw numerous small airships and a huge, overwhelming airship flying around, I had a blank expression.

bang! bang! bang!

Wow!

I couldn’t control my speed, which easily surpassed hypersonic speeds, and passed the small airship before I could stop it.

The airship, caught in the sonic boom exploding at supersonic speeds, shook back and forth.

‘Oh shit.’

Fortunately, no airship caught in the sonic boom crashed, but there are so many airships flying in the sky.

I haven’t measured the speed since the tide became real, but there is an unidentified flying object flying through the sky at a speed that easily overwhelms an airship flying at supersonic to hypersonic speeds… ?

‘It’s going to be an uproar in the community again…’ ‘

It would have been better if it wasn’t so quick that I couldn’t check it.

If not, what would happen…

I was already starting to look forward to it, or even fear it.

anyway…

‘I have to go quickly… ‘

I’ll go to the Ether Tower as soon as possible, finish work, and come back and look at the bulletin board.
