Chapter 24

Hero’s Hunt (3)



 

 

After five hours .

 

“This…… goddamn bastard… let a human live . ”

 

Curse words never stopped coming out of my mouth, and  the cause of it was the Land Drake . However, I don’t find it hard to battle such a monstrous bully on this battlefield .

 

However, to conclude this, I eventually knocked him down .

 

“Killed it, my Lord!”

 

From my side the vampires who were biting into the Land Drake’s body were shouting loudly .

 

“Hmmm . ”

 

I pompously nodded my head once and looked at my hands . And the scale of 150 heads of the undead were all screaming .

 

Khyahhhk!

 

Vampire, Specter, Undead Spider and Bloudthirsty Slaughterers . After fighting, I reached the 4th level, so the Vampires and the Specters were possible to be summoned .

 

Over 100 Undead soldiers were successfully raised with the skill’s 3rd stage; however, they were annihilated . Unlike before, these guys went into the battle and completely drained the energy of the Land Drake .

 

I repeated the same process numerous times, and then I was able to summon the Vampire and the Specters once I reached the 4th level . Thankfully, it became nighttime so there was no problem for the Vampire and the Specters to perform .

 

“Great achievement, Vampires . ”

 

“It was a joy, my Lord . ”

 

The Vampires were definitely strong . When the Land Drake’s big paw fell on the bunch of the Vampires, I thought I was stuck in my previous position . They were going to become pieces once again, but at the last moment they turned themselves into bats and flew away as fast as ghosts .

 

The Specters were also definitely strong too . They continuously floated around the Land Drake and sucked on him, which caused a big drop in his physical strength .

 

“Just wait a little more my Lord . I will give you the heart of the Drake . ”

 

No matter my perception, I liked the words of the Vampires . The skeletons and zombies had a different abilities, the Vampires had a special ability, and they were much stronger than the before ones .

 

I knew that the wild dragons out there would be the end of me, but with the Undead a new kind of life could be there for me . There is going to be a series of fights of some kind, and I had the thought of looting someone’s property .

 

Bam! Bam! Bam!

 

From a while the Vampires were tearing open the stomach of the Drake with both of their hands . They broke few of the ribs that were blocking the heart of the Drake .

 

It did seem like the Land Drake was the same ability as that of the undead, but the Wyvern were much stronger and bigger creatures . Later I intended for my proficiency of the undead to grow by using those creatures . It seemed like the undead could make wheels from the dead Drake and use them in chariots, which would be nice .

 

“Hm . Boring… . . ”

 

At my one word, all the vampires were shocked . The head Vampire flew to the air, turned towards the vampire soldiers and kicked one of them on the ass .

 

“The Lord needs more speed you Bastards! Come on, move it!”

 

The Specter that was floating beside me was graciously fanning me . It had an weird and uncanny euphoria, but its appearance looked pretty apologetic . Maybe… no . It couldn’t be the soul of a dead soldier from today .

 

“A little more harder please . ”

 

“Yes . ”

 

If the general public saw the appearance of the Specter, it was enough to get them scared outta their wits, but I am not going to be affected by their aura and fear energy . Besides the Specters were afraid of me as they were in awe with my indifferent attitude .

 

“My Lord! My Lord! We took it out at last!”

 

With the Drake heart in their hands, the Vampires rushed back towards me . I thought that these vampires were great as they could move 10 meters with just a single leap .

 

“Nice . You did a lot of hard work . Come over to this side . ”

 

I stretched out my finger at the Vampire who brought out the Drake’s heart, and the absorption started .

 

Slurp!

 

From the vibrating Drake heart came out white light due to the magic within it . Without hesitation,  I sucked on it . After a while a new message popped up .

 

<Magic 550-> 2,100>

 

Because of the Drake’s heart, the magic points went up by 2000 at once . Magic above 2000 was very good . I still wasn’t able to use the magic yet, but I had entered the magic class .

 

As I concentrated on how to use this, I felt a deep sense of glee . My cloak was almost flapping by itself .

 

Clang .

 

All the Vampires went onto their knees .

 

“Congratulations on your big achievement, my Lord!”

 

“Congratulations, my Lord!”

 

All the other undead creatures also went onto their knees and bowed their heads . I nodded my head with satisfaction . By killing the Land Drake I was able to level up .

 

 

[Without Blood or Tears 1-> level 2]

 

Vitality: 1,532-> 1,564 (Cursed at Birth + 654)

 

Magic: 2,100-> 2,150 (The wand made of the bone of a Kraken . )

 

Darkness: 512-> 542 (Cursed at Birth + 122, bone wand of Kraken +70)



 

Strength 264-> (Cursed at Birth +32 )

 

Intellect 139-> 159

 

Agility 250-> 259

 

Health 240-> 245

 

Charisma 192-> 232 (Bone wand of the Kraken +13)

 

The ability had increased by a lot . Indeed, this was a very high rank, it was equal to that of the guardian class . Not only that, there could be a new skill too .

 

The S class skill now was the [Blood and tear] one . The skill was a huge one, but it is needed to be considered as one of the energy draining ability . The other one that could be brought up in the category of the energy drain was the undead .

 

“Very nice . ”

 

Mana replenishment was not much, but the Land Drake’s heart did help . This was hard work, but the achievement was much greater and astonishing one . But time was running out . I was in a hurry to stop at the position of the Devil Pajemut .

 

“A moment… . ”

 

If I went in alone, it would attract the attention of the devil which would be impossible to fool, so Philip will have to capture me . But things have changed . Normally I would have been surrounding myself with the Skeletons and Zombies, but because of the Land Drake, I now have Vampires and Specters .

 


This was a lot of power, but will I have to borrow the power of the devil if it gets risky in there?

 

“No way, No… . ”

 

I can manage to slip in and slip away by using Philip and his men all by myself . If that was what I intend to do, then I’ll get all the items and the experience too .

 

Then I had another thought that came into my mind .

 

Now I have the ability to raise the dead corpses . Then, if that is so, how would it be if I could raise the corpse of Philip, a Guardian Class? If so then could he be made into a Vampire or any other weird creature? Will he still have his power?

 

“Hopefully it will…”

 

This was pretty nice, but there would never be a time when a guardian will become a traitor from being demoted .

 

Right now, this was my plan I will make him into a Vampire and later I will see if there are any other things that could be summoned from the undead . Probably not even if I think .

 

Before raising Philip, his human body might be similar to trash, but because of my ability he might look excellent . If he was going to be a good listener and do nothing else, that was a open welcome for him . I was attracted to the idea of making a Undead guardian .

 

“Ok…”

 

I was determined .

 

I will defeat and take over the devil all by myself, and I’m going to have all of it by myself . One is never supposed to split the best stuff with others .

 

“Listen!”

 



“Yes my Lord!”

 

“Tonight we will hunt the noble human lineage . ”

 

“We have understood . ”

 

The army of dead begins to march .

 

At the monstrous shouts from the undead creatures, my excitement rose . It was like the atmosphere of a festival . I assume that the thought of hunting down the living increased their energy .

 

The moonlight shone like a blessing on to the dead .

 

 

 

*   *   *

 

 

The tributaries of the Moselle river originally enabled the city of Pont-à-Mousson to flourish and prosper, but the city was devastated by the Devil in a long battle . Toul, Nancy, Thionville and Luxembourg were all the places that were on the river of Moselle, but they were severely damaged .

 

There were a lot abandoned high castles there, and one of it was already predetermined to be a hide out . The Devil Pajemut would have searched for Philip everywhere around the Moselle river with his eyes and ears .

 

In the three days, Philip would have gathered all the men that he could, and he might plan to break himself out and return to Platz at once . With the experience of what happened in the past, I know the plan on the back of my hand .

 

“Here you are . ”

 

We arrived at a old castle that didn’t need much of a searching . A heavenly one in the ruins near the Moselle river . It would be understandable it the devil wouldn’t be able to find Philip soon .

 

Philip is expected to be around the left of Nancy, and right over 200 kilometers to Neuilly-sur-Marne . No matter how many subordinates Pajemut sends over, tracking them wouldn’t be an easy thing . Especially as the army will have a loose atmosphere after any short victory .

 

On the other hand, I knew the answer to this .

 

“All enter at once . ”

 

All the 150 undead went into the half collapsed castle at my words . There was a man who saw us, and when we looked at him he screamed . The dead who were buffed by the moonlight were energized .

 

From the inside of the castle came the sounds of disturbance . We seemed to have entered not only a collapsed but a devastated castle too .  That was what this felt like . From the collapsed tower was a dim light and until we arrived at the main building there was no other light .

 

“Open it . ”

 

At my words the burning slaughterers started to punch open the door .

 

Bang!

 

From my side came the sound of the door opening slightly . The undead creatures began to go in . I just looked at that place thoroughly . There was a mountain where the people might go to after making their arrangements .

 

From the inside a sound of things begin smashed and hit could be heard . I tilted my ear towards that direction and then I spoke to the Specters .

 

“Let no one out from the castle tonight . ”

 

The Specters suddenly disappeared to somewhere . This night is so good that there will be no running away, because the Specters will follow them .

 

“It has been organized, my Lord . ”

 

Of Vampires that went in, one of them came out and informed me . I nodded my head and then turned around and entered inside . There was Vampire which held two swords in its wobbly hands and caught up to my place .

 

Tak . Tak .

 

It was quiet everywhere . Only the sound of the footsteps could be heard . A lot people who were killed inside .  Their blood was everywhere . There were around ten people inside, and in those group of people was Philip .

 

“What a guy!”

 

If he was on the forefront then there would be no deaths . He ran away from the Devil, so I wonder if there was any chance at redemption as he had been hiding . If not, was it all just a bluff?

 

After that I looked down at him with interest .

 

“This is fun . Just a few days ago you were looking down on me after getting onto my horse . ”

 

“What? No, wait a minute! This, this guy! From the mercenaries before!”

 

After looking at me, astonishment rose onto Philip’s face . He pointed his trembling finger at me . Such attitude from him filled my vanity, and I felt the urge to speak .

 

“Isn’t life funny, Philip? How our fortunes have reversed?”

 

At this moment a guy in front of Philip shouted out .

 

“You! Tell us the name of your Master . ”

 

In answer that I looked over at one of the vampires . The Vampire immediately disappeared and reappeared behind that guy, slashing his throat with a knife .

 

Slick!

 

The Vampire held the head that he cut off with both hands . I accepted it from him and though he was a little shy I spoke to my Vampires .

 

“Getting ready to fight? How nice . In that case, why don’t you start with my troops . Jim* here is the king of the dead . ”

 

Then black smoke from my hand went into the held head . I asked the head .

 

“You will fight, won’t you?”

 

Then the dead head’s eyes opened .

 

“Indeed I will, Your Serene Highness (Seine Durchlaucht)!”

 

Ah . The head’s words have such a nice ring .

 

It gives me the taste of power .
