Without any forewarning, an ominous magical force permeated the surroundings.

Hick!

Next to me, a gasp and rustling movements followed.

Looking up, Tessia had her back against the corner of the ceiling.

Meeting Ians gaze, she trembled as she spoke.

Its him! Hes here!

I know.

Ian calmly replied as he stood up. An orange glow flickered on the floor. Charlotte asked in a low voice:

You mean the judge has come?

Cant you feel it?

Tessia retorted with a question.

Charlottes brow furrowed.

It seemed her senses did not function properly when it came to magic.

It was wise to rent just one room.

As Ian began donning his armor, he thought.

The inconvenience of keeping those two in check has now become a blessing in disguise.

Charlotte also swiftly rose and started putting on her armor without a sound.

Protecting each other should be your top priority. Dont forget that.

Ian stated. Although frowning, Charlotte did not stop moving.

Tessia, who had been blankly watching the two, eventually whispered.

What are you guys doing? Just stay here. That monster is still a vampire. It cant get in here.

Seems fear has added to your mind.

Charlotte snorted after finishing with her breastplate.

You think theyd do this without any countermeasures?

You havea plan?

We have several plans.

Ian said as he locked the chain joints of his greaves one by one.

They could pinpoint your location and demolish the building. Or lure the villagers out If it were me, Id just kill a few villagers and leave them like you did it. That alone would make it impossible for you to stay here.

Then why not just hide until dawn and immediately run away? n0ve(l)bi(n.)co/m

A very demonic line of thought.

As Ian tightly fastened his boots around his feet and calves, he coolly countered.

Why should we? We can just defeat that monster right here.

And what about the aftermath?

Thats not for you to worry about.

Though not sparing each other a glance, they were at least moving together side by side.

The judges voice continued.

I express my gratitude. Thanks to your courage tonight, unnecessary sacrifices can be avoided.

Thats right. Tonights deaths will

Ian drew his sword as he charged forward,

Be limited to just you.

The judges smile deepened as he watched Ian rush toward him.

A human after my own heart. You shall be my parting sustenance.

He took out a small box from his robe.

A magical artifact? Just as Ians brow furrowed and he lunged, the judge immediately opened the boxs lid.

Sleep soundly, human.

Kya-aaaaaaaah-!

A deafening scream burst forth from the box along with a massive wave of magic power.

?!

Swept away without a chance to resist, Ian plummeted.

It was a curse too overwhelming even for his mental strength and resistance.

His vision blurred, his body went limp, and dizziness assailed him.

Even as he fell to the ground, the scene behind burned into his sight.

Charlotte crumpling like a doll, and Tessia clutching her ears, screaming.

Ian collapsed amidst the black mist.

A stillness fell over the entire town.

The judge, having subdued all life, calmly stepped past him.

Flutter flutter-

The bats concealed in the shadows took flight in all directions.

Further darkening the already dim surroundings.

Tonight, you cannot run away, mongrel. Your little tricks from before were amusing. But do not expect them to work twice.

Dont mock me!

The kneeling Tessia cried out, baring her fangs and opening her mouth wide.

She bit into Charlottes fallen arm and drank the blood.

Her eyes glowed a bloody red.

Seconds later, she released her mouth and stood up.

Whoosh-

Her shadow, buried in the mist, transformed into the shape of a raven and took flight.
