Chapter 143.1: Feast of Death

◆Vampire Count, Jusio

「I offer blood to the greatest of the great rulers of death

I offer innards to the greatest of the great rulers of death

I beheaded Mina's children and washed the soil with their blood.

I made a symbol of the children of death with those heads.

Skinned them, and turned their bones into ornaments.

Let the lament of Mina's children resound in this world.」

I heard the singing of the songstress's ghost.

While the songstress's ghost sang her song, the skeletons were drumming their bones.

The vampires danced to match the drumming rhythm.

The vampires were also the kin of death.

We had gathered in Modegal to celebrate the return of the great ruler of death.

I walked into the plaza once the banquet began.

I passed by a zombie clown when I walked forward.

When I looked to the right, a newbie zombie girl, who placed her head on a plate, was pouring blood into the noble's cup.

On the left was a ghost with a terrifying face that was going on patrol.

When I looked at the table, there was a captured angel that had gotten skewered and its meat cut up.

The feast of death had only just begun.

「Jusio-dono.」

Suddenly, someone called out to me.

When I turned to the direction of the voice, there was a blond-haired handsome youth with blue eyes surrounded by a few women with vivid clothing.

Appearancewise, the youth looked like someone in his early teens with pale white skin.

But, I knew that figure was nothing but a disguise.

「Long time no see, prince Zasha.」

I bowed respectfully at the youth who called out to me.

His name was the Ruby Prince, Zasha.

He was the younger brother of my lady.

「Yeah, long time no see. I'm really happy to be able to meet you, Angel Slayer-kun.」

Prince Zasha smiled meaningfully as he spoke.

「You jest, Your Highness. I barely managed to defeat the angel.」

I was really troubled when I got called an Angel Slayer.

The reason was simply because I won by some pure chance.

「Don't be so humble, Jusio-dono. You may puff your chest with pride, as expected of my older sister's favourite.」

When Prince Zasha laughed, the women around him laughed along.

I could see fangs peeking out from the lips of those women.

Maybe those women were his kin, and they might come from noble birth.

They might be the mistresses of Prince Zasha.

「My apologies, Prince Zasha. It seems I have to go back to Milady's place since she called for me.」

「I see, too bad then. See you later, Jusio-dono.」

Said Prince Zasha as he left.

After seeing him off, I returned to Milady's place.

I had to go back in a hurry, she had suddenly called me a while ago.

My soul was connected to Milady’s after she turned me into a vampire.

Tibel, the dark fairy who hid in my pocket, trembled in fear.

That was only natural, the miasma in this place was so thick.

Even Tibel might've already died had it not been for the protection of my magical power.

It wasn't just the paved road, I could literally see the bones of various creatures strewn everywhere as far as I could see.

That's why I heard the creaking sound around me.

Even the buildings in this city were made of bones.

I noticed that the skulls of various creatures that had become its pillars were looking at me.

Glowing blue stones protruded from the places devoid of bones.

I noticed that something like a soul came out and in of those stones.

This was truly the country of death.

「Sorry, Tibel. I don't mind letting you wait outside if you're really scared,」

「Auu. But I can't. I won't be able to hold on in this place without Kuroki-sama's protection.」

Said Tibel with a voice that was on the verge of crying.

Was she okay?

「Me aside, what about you, Kuroki-sama? Do you feel anything.」

Asked Tibel as she looked at my hand.

I held an incense burner for ghost avoidance in my hand.

A nice fragrance came out from this incense burner that contained kiffi.

The magical fragrance of kiffi protected my body from evil spirits.

If you burn kiffi when you're going to be captured by the undead, the fragrance of the kiffi will drive away the undead.

None of the undead in this place would notice me as long as I had this incense burner.

「I'm okay, maybe. This item is specially made by the archwitch for this mission after all.」

This kiffi was something that Hecate prepared specially for this mission.

Hecate wasn't just a master of herbs, she could compound aromatics with magical effects too.

There were various kinds of aromatics with magical effects, such as the one that heals wounds, or the one that induces sleep.

That's why people who could compound such aromas were highly valued.

They were either called apothecaries or perfumers.

Tibel and I walked inside Modegal.

Zombies were holding candles lit with will-o'-wisp and were roaming around, yet none of them noticed my presence.

「This one passed too... But we don't know for how long.」

I then recalled Clown's remark.

He said that he had to take another route since he was Kuna's subordinate.

I had no idea what he was trying to do but I knew that it was something important.

Not to mention that no one discovered us so far.

A fly passed by above me.

They didn't get close either since the incense burner was also an insecticide.

If my guess was right, these flies were probably used by the high priest of flies and maggots.

I tried to recall the information about Zarxis' children which I had read before this mission.

The high priest of flies and maggots was the god who ruled over the plague and decay like Zaffrada, the princess of fresh blood.
