Madame (1)
A black cube that oscillates in an instant by absorbing the flow of magical energy from the inside of her coat.
“... ... hmm?”
It was coveted by the clown and given to me by Myeong, so I kept it close at hand, but I didn’t know that it would react arbitrarily at this point.
Lennok, who was about to reap his magic immediately, changed his mind and watched the cube change for a while.
Retrieving can be done at any time, so I decided to take this opportunity to check what Penterect spits out.
Kiriririk... ... !!
The cube that fell below my feet fluctuates, then expands in size and elongates.
Rising up to her waist, it bent slightly at the tip, transforming its shape into a dazzling silver figure.
Looking at the form of the Penterect, which had changed in an instant, Lennok opened his mouth slightly without saying a word.
“... ... .”
A silver staff with a blue jewel handle at the tip.
A form in which silvery metal undulates and rises. It takes the form of a staff much larger in size than a wand.
At the same time as he carefully grasped the wand, a mercury-like liquid rose from the vicinity of the handle and gently wrapped around Lennok’s wrist.
A movement that seemed to pierce the blood vessels while firmly supporting the cane and the wrist itself.
I was a little surprised, but it didn’t dig into the blood vessels, and it only gently supported the forearm inside the invisible elbow.
It is questionable whether or not it is an artifact that simply supports the user’s body and has no magic power.
Lennok looked down at it silently, then burst into laughter.
“You’re out of luck.”
After all, since when did Lennok rely on such a mysterious object to get through a situation by relying on luck?
However, it seems that Lennok himself was looking forward to it to some extent, probably because it was given in the name of a famous clown.
Even so, holding the staff and leaning slightly against it makes it easier to maintain balance than I thought.
Lennok stomped his cane and walked straight onto the road, standing on the asphalt in the midst of a commotion.
The young vampire who was about to drag Rayan by the collar immediately stopped when he saw Lennok.
“what?”
“Let’s put it down and talk about it.”
said Lennok.
Rayan, who was limp, lifted his head up at the sound of Lennok’s voice.
“Ban bar... ... !!”
Those wide-open eyes were undoubtedly belonging to a blood mage boy Lennok knew.
A talented blood mage who originally worked in District 44 and worked as a freelancer at Jenny’s bar due to city council checks.
Lennok, too, had received the help of blood magic a few times during his days as a freelancer.
“... ... half? half?”
The vampire also looked at Lennok with sharp eyes, as if he didn’t know the name.
The young man, who instantly gained momentum, took a step back without realizing it and bit his lip.
“What’s going on here... ... ?”
“Are you asking me that right now?”
Lennok replied with a plaintive expression.
As he tapped the cane he was holding at the hesitant young man, the young man’s shoulder twitched once more.
The opponent was also well aware of how famous and talented Gongroe was on this floor.
If you think that even a small action is the work of a wizard, it will be difficult to overlook it.
Lennok had a clear view of the psychology of such an opponent and was thoroughly using it.
“Because the person you kidnapped is a human asset of our company. Partnership requests that have not been agreed upon in advance should be politely declined.”
“... ... It has nothing to do with them. Don’t interfere.”
“Did you just listen to me?”
“... ... .”
The young man with a swarthy face staggers back.
He wants to run away right away, but he hesitates, recognizing that there is no turning back at that moment.
A battle mage who fought head-to-head with a level 8 warlord and won.
Even mixing hands against War Mage, who has never been defeated in this city, is impossible unless you are quite confident in your skills.
“Put it down and go away. I have something to talk about with that friend.”
“profit... ... .”
It seems to be overwhelmed with momentum without any magic power.
The young man’s eyes, which had been desperately watching him, opened wide as if struck by lightning the moment Lennok’s staff touched him.
The young man, whose expression had changed in an instant, muttered, turning his head completely to Lennok.
“... ... It was a bluff.”
“what?”
Easy profit... ... !!
The young man smiled sharply as he drew up the pool of blood around him as he signed his hand in an instant.
“You can’t fool a vampire even if others don’t know. Did you think you wouldn’t know that the cane you’re holding is a life support device?”
“... ... .”
While Lennok tilted his head, not knowing what the vampire was talking about, the young man seemed rather convinced by his reaction.
“The rumor that you were seriously injured in the battle with Madrid Onion is true. On the subject of not being able to get around without leaning on such a thing... ... . dare... ... !!”
“No, what the hell are you looking at... ... .”
“It was better. I’ll take this opportunity to turn you into a blood-breed of your own nature!!”
The figure of a vampire who reached out his hand without even listening to an answer.
The sharp spikes of blood that rise from the middle of the street pierce Lennok at close range.
Does it make sense that the vampire who was afraid of Lennok just now changed his attitude and attacked with only this staff?
Lennok looked down at the wand he was holding with a bewildered face, and then laughed.
“okay... ... . It’s a lot easier than running away.”
I raised my mana and added the bursting lightning to the end of my staff.
A thunderbolt that rode through the silvery metal dyed all directions blue and collided with the thorns in the bloodstream in the middle of the street.
* * *
Red water droplets exploded as they roared in all directions, instantly turning the busy street into a mess.
Kwakkwakkwa!!
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaac!!”
“Someone call the police quickly!!”
“Fuck away!!”
At the same time blood seeped through the fine asphalt, the road split apart as if there was a drought, and
countless red thorns that stood up in all directions bent long and tilted their heads in one direction.
Kagagak!!
A ferocious barrage of blood magic pouring all of its power towards a single person.
Blood magic is said to be ineffective in battle due to the enormous consumption of blood, but the story is different for vampires.
A sub-species capable of manipulating one’s own bloodstream freely without any special intentions or magical powers.
Through this, it drastically reduces the cost consumed and also reduces the risk of sacrificial chanting through one’s own blood.
The existence of this wand convinced Lennok’s own health speculation in the wrong direction.
Is it really a coincidence that Penterect’s ability to give me such a thing at this moment is really a coincidence.
“... ... .”
Lennok, who was looking down at his cane with an interesting expression, touched Rayan, who was lying next to him, holding it.
The red rope that tied Rayan’s body was cut and the boy jumped up from his seat.
“Damn why did this happen to me... ... Thanks for helping me out.”
Lennok shook his head as he watched Rayan grumble and knead his limbs.
“You’ve grown quite tall while I haven’t seen you. How old will you be this year?”
“... ... seventeen.”
Responding like that, Rayan let out a sigh with a melancholy expression.
“And now a hundred years would be seventeen.”
Vampires don’t age. It only requires as much blood as a basic diet to maintain its strength and existence.
Rayan also knew what situation he was in now.
“I think I should listen to the situation first... ... It will be difficult here.”
I let him run amok to capture the young man, and the middle of the street was covered in blood.
It’s not strange if you try to listen to the circumstances in a place like this leisurely, but your ankles are caught by the security agency that arrived late.
Looking around, Lennok’s gaze turned to an old car that appeared to have been driven by a vampire.
“Move your seat.”
* * *
The young man is thrown onto a creaking chair in an abandoned factory warehouse and tied up limbs with a magician.
After putting the limbs back together and connecting the opposite limbs with a magician, it became something to look at.
Rayan also saw that and forgot his own situation for a moment and stuck out his tongue.
“... ... Yes, he was like this.”
“I have contacted Jenny, so try explaining it before he wakes up.”
Lennok said, shaking his hands and pulling a chair across from him.
When I put both hands on top of each other and grasped the cane, my body was perfectly balanced.
“I want to hear what you went through and how you want to resolve it.”
I don’t want to pretend to be taking care of freelancers for my company now.
The relationship between Rayan and Lennok is not that deep, and there are too many freelancers belonging to Jenny’s company.
However, the reason Lennok showed interest in Rayan’s work was that what he was experiencing now was one of the alternatives that Lennok was also seriously considering.
Born as an ordinary human in this world, there are not a few ways to obtain the body of a sub-species, and becoming a vampire is one of them.
He wanted to directly hear how Rayan became a vampire and how he felt about his current condition.
“Is that body okay?”
The boy hesitated, then looked at Lennok and asked.
“I heard you are very sick.”
“I can bear with it now.”
Lennok replied with an expressionless face.
“I want to hear the story first.”
“... ... It was after receiving Madam’s request and handling it.”
“Madam?”
“I asked to carry an item, but they said it could only be entrusted to a blood mage. The pay was so great that I took care of it without much thought and forgot about it, but after one or three days after the job was over, I noticed something strange.”
“... ... .”
“I realized that I was being followed, I told Jenny, and I got someone to work with me for the time being as an escort... ... . It was attacked the same day.”
“It’s an assault.”
“They told me to swallow if I wanted to live, and they fed me a strange liquid. I passed out after eating it, and when I woke up, I was being tracked by this guy earlier... ... Something like that.”
Lennok asked again at Rayan’s words, which sighed deeply.
“How does it feel to be a vampire? Can your condition itself be compared to when you were a human?”
“Well, to be honest, I don’t really feel it... ... I think my senses are rather dull. My head is a bit hazy... ... ”
said Rayan, looking over at his limbs.
“Rather, it feels like my eyes are opened in a magical way? Blood flow manipulation is much easier than before. I don’t understand why I’ve been thinking about it until now.”
As if slightly intoxicated, blood dripped between her fingertips.
Rayan’s face became hazy as he made the shape of a beautiful flower by sculpting the blood that flowed out like that with his fingertips.
“I don’t feel so bad... ... ?”
“Right.”
Lennok nodded.
“As expected, you’d better find a way to return to being a human.”
“why?”
“It seems you haven’t realized it yet, but I’m carefully observing your bodily reaction right now... ... .”
Leaning back in his chair, resting his chin on his chin, Lennok shook his head.
“You haven’t been breathing for over five minutes now.”
“... ... .”
“You weren’t even aware of it? It wasn’t even painful. Metabolism like breathing doesn’t matter as much if you’re given enough blood. That’s the sub-species of blood ghosts.”
Looking at the speechless Rayan, Lennok spoke again.
“You will quickly forget the sensation of being human. If it’s too late, even if you want to come back, you won’t be able to. It is said that it is not uncommon for people to choke whenever they have a chance and pass out after not eating. That is completely different from being born as a vampire from the start.”
“that... ... .”
“It means that it becomes easier to forget the basic survival needs as life.”
That’s why Lennok gave up after seriously considering turning his body into a vampire.
Looking at Rayan, who had hardened, the moment Lennok was about to speak, his cell phone rang. It was Jenny’s contact.
“... ... jenny?”
[I saw the message that Van Rayan was secured. Is the call okay?]
“The situation is over. The vampire was captured alive. I’m going to briefly interrogate you on the spot and hand you over, but it doesn’t matter, right?”
[Wait a minute, I have something to say before that. It’s the doctor’s side.]
“... ... .”
When Lennok fell silent, Jenny immediately continued.
[I found a doctor who specializes in the topic you mentioned. Even on this floor, he is a well-known person among those involved in the medical system.]
“Can I make an appointment for a checkup?”
[That’s the problem, but the doctor is from the central city, so he doesn’t have a lot of personal connections
.
[So I looked for a few business partners for the author, and one of them was... ... .]
Lennok stood up straight after his conversation with Jenny.
“Quickly finish and move on.”
Rayan looked back at Lennok, who was standing in front of the vampire with a cane, looking bewildered.
“what’s the matter?”
said Lennok, tapping the vampire on the head with his staff.
“I have one more reason to meet Madam.”
